Zuo Zongtang and Zeng Guohuang led more than 20 followers, and when they arrived outside the south gate of Xiangxiang City at dusk, they were still completely ignorant of what had happened around Xiangxiang in the past few days.
While waiting for Lian Yong, who was grinding down from the city to open the city gate, Zuo Zongtang asked Zeng Guohuang casually, "Fourth, why don't you go back to Shuangfeng first?" ”
Zeng Guohuang shook his head tiredly and glanced in the direction of Shuangfeng, "No, the matter is urgent, let's hurry into the city, discuss it with Zhu Sunyi and them overnight, and hurry up to Sixiang to recruit brave men." ”
"It's fine." Zuo Zongtang looked at him and smiled, "It's still Lao Siming Dali, and he will definitely be a talent in the future." ”
"Come on, Mr. Ji Gao, don't snub me." Zeng Guohuang sighed, "I can't kill people at all, so this military merit must have nothing to do with me." I can't compare to the sixth and ninth children, and they will have a bright future. ”
"Yes," Zuo Zongtang nodded, "If you want to be promoted and make a fortune, having the opportunity to fight is the best shortcut." However, fighting a war is a matter of life and death, and there is no hypocrisy in the slightest. No matter which famous general he is, there are mountains of white bones under his feet. Of course, there are countless untold souls. ”
Zuo Zongtang's words are all coping words. He still didn't understand in his heart that except for the Zeng family, who had cultivated a little self-cultivation in the long-term war eunuch field, the rest of the fourth brothers and men were all tyrannical and arrogant. Zeng Guohuang's so-called "being a person who can't kill people" is nothing more than complaining that his eldest brother didn't send him to lead the troops.
The heavy city gate slowly opened, Zeng Guohuang took the horse and rushed to the city gate, and at the same time did not forget to glare at Lian Yong who opened the city fiercely, "It's really fucking grinding, I thought you were all gone!" ”
Zuo Zongtang shook his head, smiled in his heart, look, the original form is revealed! He looked up at the city, which was beginning to turn a little dark, and slowly followed.
Lin Haifeng is now busy hitting the back of his head with his foot. He led Su Sanniang and the students of the "Agricultural Training Class" to every corner of Zhenjiang, carefully adjusting the fields and policies everywhere, and arranging the livelihood of almost every family. For one day, two days, three days, and four days, he just took the trouble to do it, telling everyone what to do in the future with his own behavior.
Under the words and deeds of King An, Su Sanniang has completely entered the role. Peasant associations at all levels in the villages have sprung up one after another, and local militia groups and peasant self-defense forces are also developing one after another inside and outside Zhenjiang City. Government-run hospitals, schools, workshops, businesses, and farms have begun to be built one after another. Zhenjiang was boiling all at once.
What makes Su Sanniang feel most interesting is the big families in Zhenjiang City. In the past, it was difficult to ask them to donate money, but now they all come to the door to help, you can't do it if you don't want it. Because the big families have seen from Gu Tonglin's body, whoever wants to help with the salary will receive special support from the pacification envoy yamen, and they can jointly run a business, such as coal mining, iron ore mining, stone mining, lime burning, etc., and there is legitimate business. Inside and outside, not only are the expenses for acquiring fields and carrying out construction have been paid, but there is also a slight surplus. This really corresponds to King An's words, "Take it from the people and use it for the people."
Early in the morning, Su Sanniang accompanied King An to see several schools that were preparing to start classes. After the breakup, according to An Wang's instructions, he negotiated with Gu Tonglin and other businessmen to jointly organize several coal mines, iron mines, and limestone factories. Coupled with all kinds of other chaotic and trivial affairs, as soon as they are dealt with, it will be dark.
Su Sanniang saw that she had missed the time of dinner again, so she asked the female guard with her to hurry up and bring some food over, she wanted to eat quickly, and after eating, she would go to His Royal Highness King An. She liked to listen to what King An said, and she knew that His Highness would not stay here for long. Therefore, she wanted to get more teachings from His Highness, and of course, at the same time, there was a kind of satisfaction in her heart.
Before the chopsticks could move, an official on duty at night followed and came in again. The soldiers defending the city caught a group of people transporting a large number of tobacco leaves, and they were already sent to the yamen.
Su Sanniang frowned and looked at the official on duty at night, "Who is so bold, have you asked?" ”
"I asked, the others are all hired people from Xiaoshan, Zhejiang, and they don't know the rules of our Heavenly Army, nor who to give them to. The person in charge of the escort seems to know, but he doesn't say it, he doesn't say it until he sees you. The official on duty at night said angrily.
"Want to see me?" Su Sanniang rolled her eyes twice, and gently put down the chopsticks in her hand, "Call him in, I want to see who he is?" ”
The man who was brought in was a young man of twenty-seven or eighteen, of medium stature, with a yellowish complexion, and at first glance he looked like a very inconspicuous person.
"What's your name? Do you know that the Celestial Empire strictly prohibits trafficking and smoking tobacco? Su Sanniang asked without hurrying or annoyance.
The young man bowed and bowed, "Back to my lord, Xiaomin was entrusted by a friend to give tobacco leaves to His Royal Highness King An." ”
"Nonsense!" Su Sanniang slapped the table. Who is His Royal Highness King An? This is simply a slander against His Highness, and she absolutely cannot tolerate it. Her face turned pale, and she pointed at the other party, "If you don't play tricks on me, and if you don't honestly tell who instigated it, then you will fight the crime yourself!" ”
"My lord, what Xiaomin said is true!" The man's face was full of grievances, but it was obvious that he was not afraid, "My lord, Xiaomin came here from Shanghai and then to Xiaoshan, please be sure to send Xiaomin to see King An Chitose." ”
"You're from Shanghai?" Su Sanniang asked in disbelief.
"Yes, yes," the man nodded repeatedly, "How dare Xiaomin deceive you Su Anfu." Otherwise, Xiaomin, a native of Zhejiang, would know that King An Chitose is here. ”
"Hmph, Your Highness is busy outside the city every day, it's not easy to know if Your Highness is in Zhenjiang?" Despite what she said, Su Sanniang knew that there were indeed many commercial houses in Shanghai that were doing various businesses with the Celestial Empire. She was just worried about His Highness's safety, for fear that the other party was a demon spy and would be unfavorable to His Highness. She thought for a moment and asked, "I heard that you brought a lot of tobacco leaves, why don't you just put them there to King An?" ”
"This little people's committee really doesn't know. My friend said that as long as the things are completely delivered to Anwang Chitose. The man replied with all seriousness.
"Well, since you don't want to say it here, the others will stay in the yamen first, and you and I will go to see His Royal Highness King An." Su Sanniang stood up, and the night officer standing behind the young man at a glance, "Search his body, you must be careful!" ”
