Anxious and overworked, since he took office, Wang Qingyun's body has not been better for a day, and the medicine jar has become his most loyal companion.

During this period, what could make him feel a little relieved was the peace talks that began in Jinan. In fact, from the bottom of his heart, he did not expect the peace talks to succeed. The peace talks with the Taiping rebels cannot be equated with the negotiations with the foreigners in those years.

The foreigners lack education, and they rely on the strong ships and guns to gain a small advantage, after all, they are harmless and wealthy. Once the time comes, what will happen to you? Take it and give it back to me.

Traitors are different. What kind of negotiation to sit side by side with these rebels who ignore the filial piety of the monarch is simply an insult to the Qing Dynasty. If they are told to become bigger, where is the Qing Dynasty? What's the etiquette? Doesn't this clearly encourage rebellion?

But after all, Wang Qingyun has not read many poems and books, and his brain is also very active. On the opposite side of him, across the river is the south barrier Qinling, the north block the Yellow River, the east of the Han Valley, the west arch of Huashan Jin, Shaanxi and Henan traffic points, the terrain is very dangerous, has always been known as the "three Qin lock key", "four towns throat", and Shanhaiguan and called "the first pass in the world" Tongguan. Although he couldn't see what was hidden deeper in Tongguan, just by virtue of the banks of the Yellow River, there would be no such thing as a majestic queue, and he could imagine that with the current little bit of filthy strength, as long as the fight started, there would be no good fruit for him to eat. He's realistic. In the current situation, engaging in negotiations and delaying time is still a very commendable thing. As long as the effort is deep, the iron pestle can also be sharpened into a needle. Take your time, make full use of this rare period of "cultivation", and make a lot of effort to sort out these "masters" who are detached from morality first.

While Wang Qingyun was still busy day and night with his "combing plan", the Red Army of the Celestial Empire on the other side of the river was a completely different scene.

In the course of three months, in the huge project to control the Yellow Dynasty, the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, which had gone through the Great War, did not delay its full rest. At the same time that the personnel of various departments have been replenished in a timely manner, their equipment has also been replaced, and a large number of various materials for preparing for war have been filled. Just like the surging water of the Yellow River, which has gradually become calm and calm from the churning and turbulence of the flood season, on the surface, it seems that there is no longer the hustle and bustle of the past on the construction site of the river control, but in fact, the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, which is strong and strong, has long been completely prepared to launch a large-scale and continuous operation.

A month ago, Wei Jun, who was the commander-in-chief of the left-wing group of the Red Second Front Army, led the Red 23rd Army to quietly enter Tongguan from Shaanzhou, and then took the opportunity to take the bridgehead Pujin Pass into Shanxi.

Today, when Huang Dingfeng, commander of the 89th Red Division, had not yet entered Puzhou City for a banquet under the name of "General Lian Yekun," the 90th Red Division took advantage of the opportunity to receive and transfer the grain and grass compensated by Lin Kui and landed on the east bank of the Yellow River in batches. Huang Dingfeng entered the city, but at night, the soldiers of the Red Ninety Division stepped on the tortuous mountain path that Wang Qingyun relied on to make a living, and began an extremely difficult forced march.

In fact, Puzhou is a few miles away from Pujin Pass, and it stands to reason that the Qing army in Puzhou City cannot have any awareness of such a large-scale military action a few miles away, right? But that's exactly what happened. Because the Red Army of the Celestial Empire promised to withdraw to the west bank the next day, it was widely circulated in Puzhou City, and although Pujin Pass was not fought back by itself, every Manchu soldier seemed to be proud of this "surrendered army without a fight". Happiness and sorrow are just such a truth.

What is still ridiculous is that when the sound of soldiers and horses moving came from the direction of Pujin Pass in the second half of the night, the only few soldiers on duty in Puzhou City were still comforting themselves. This Taiping Red Army really kept its credibility, for fear that the army would not be able to withdraw during the day, so it started its operation early.

The army is used to defend the territory, and the first task is to be ready at any time for war to break out tomorrow or even the next moment, no matter what the circumstances, but it is not used to compete with the common people for food.

On a moonlit night, dozens of wooden boats, carrying the first batch of more than 1,000 soldiers of the Red 91st Division under the personal leadership of division commander Yu Tingzhang, were speeding towards the north bank.

Yu Tingzhang stood on the half-crossed boat. This tall and stout, swarthy face with a whirlwind beard, once a cart and rice seller, the old brother of the Ping Zai Mountain Worship Society, stood on a rocking boat, but it looked like an iron tower. To be honest, if you look at it from the outside, you wouldn't associate him with Guangxi Guiping.

Until now, on the opposite shore in his telescope, there were only a few black figures bent over, and they were now standing there in a daze, stretching their long necks, as if trying to find out something from the scene in front of them.

What Yu Tingzhang saw was all the practice of patrolling the night.

In Fenglingdu, a key point of defense, the people from all walks of life who shoulder the heavy responsibility of defending the territory are not only divided into three, six, nine and so on in terms of treatment, but even in daily military affairs, they are also different.

Since the co-leader Liu Yuezhao was stationed in Ruicheng, Huang Chunxi naturally couldn't enjoy the good scenery of the county, but he would definitely not be stationed in the area near the river. It is very strange that he did not accept Wang Qingyun's kindness and put the army into the relatively prosperous Fengling Town, but went down to the village alone at least ten miles northeast of the ferry. Of course, the defense of the ferry, in other words, the patrol and defense of the ferry, naturally fell on the "hungry and cold" group drills.

In this regard, Wang Qingyun, who is the military headquarters of Fenglingdu, has a belly opinion, and deliberately went to blush with Liu Yuezhao on this matter. According to Wang Qingyun's opinion, since loyalty and righteousness are the main force of Fenglingdu's defense, it should not "hide" far away, but should lean forward, and once there is a situation, it is possible to put into the front line of counterattack as soon as possible. Now, some troops with weak combat effectiveness are pushed in front, and when there is any unexpected incident, even if the loyal and righteous rescue ** is well-trained, I am afraid that when the time comes, it can only be a sigh of hope.

Wang Qingyun was destined to be busy, because after Liu Yuezhao heard his high-minded talk, he just smiled, and Huang Chunxi even laughed at him for not knowing military affairs without saving any face. Later, Huang Chunxi also pointed to the map and gave him a military lesson on the deployment of military strength in a certain depth, telling him that the best army should always be placed last. Because the army is not just a matter of eating well and being well-fed, it also needs to carry out modern Western training, so that an iron fist can be formed, and only when it is fought can it be fatal. We must not spend the good time of such an excellent army on meaningless sentry. Wang Qingyun was helpless, what echelon equipment? It's just a dream that war doesn't happen.

Therefore, Wang Qingyun pinned all his hopes on the green battalion soldiers of Fuxin, and repeatedly reminded Fuxin that it was necessary to strengthen the day and night patrols around the ferry, and he must not get carried away because of the so-called peace negotiations. At this time, Fu Xin had some pity for this lord of the general town who could be said to have done his best for the Qing Dynasty, and began to hum and agree in his mouth, chatting to comfort the adult's heart. However, when it comes to action, it is another matter. He was also forced to do this, he didn't have a lot of oil and water in his stomach, and his psychology was unbalanced.

Fu Xin's yang and yin disobeyed, so that Wang Qingyun had no choice but to retreat and ask for the next best. Although there is no real benefit to the practitioners, it is easy to theorize or something, and besides, he is willing to lead by example.

During the day, he had to be busy maneuvering between Huang Chunxi and Fu Xin, and at night, Wang Qingyun had to walk two back and forth on the river bank for more than ten miles with his head. No, just a few days ago, he fell completely ill.

If it were placed when the Red Army of the Celestial Empire had no troops to Tongguan, if Wang Qingyun handed over the heavy responsibility of patrolling the ferry to Lian Yong, they would not only conscientiously fulfill their duties, but also thank this lord of the town for their great gratitude. Because at that time, the ferry was hot, and controlling the ferry was as comfortable as controlling the money village. Now, the ferry is blocked, at first a few brave people from the other side of the river "smuggling", the result is the wild goose, when they leave, they become bald chickens, and later, on the surface of the river dozens of feet, except for the occasional big fish who dare to make waves, where can there be something to breathe.

Patrol the river, the more lonely you are, the more sad you are, the more you patrol, the fewer people you patrol the river. If it weren't for the severe punishment for disobeying the military order, you Wang Qingyun would cry to death, and it is very likely that there would not be half a shadow of half a person in the middle of the night on the river defense line for more than ten miles.

Wang Qingyun had foresight, but unfortunately he was born at the wrong time.
