In Guangzhou, Zhang Yuanzheng held the first military meeting in 1860, the officers of the various units have felt the breath of war, the officers wore neat military uniforms and walked into the venue solemnly, around the venue, the guard troops surrounded the entire venue, the inner three layers and the outer three layers were guarded, the hour hand on the clock was moving slowly, under the illumination of a ray of sunshine in the early morning, Zhang Yuanzheng slowly walked into the conference room.

At ten o'clock in the morning of January 21, 1860, the meeting officially began, Zhang Yuanzheng sat on the chair and looked at the officers solemnly, and said solemnly: "You may have felt the taste of war, your feeling is not wrong, now we are strong and strong, unlike before, we are still fighting with the British with big swords, our army has long been replaced with guns, and the weapons of various departments can now tell you seriously, the weapons you use in your hands are the best weapons in the world. With good weapons and equipment, you have to give me equal combat effectiveness. “

Picking up the water on the table and drinking while looking at the officers below, Zhang Yuanzheng saw the fanaticism in their eyes, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Huai Fang, now you can introduce the current situation of our army." ”

Yang Huaifang stood up with the information sorted out and said: "At present, our army has a total of 11 integrated divisions and 200,000 people in the regular army, because I established reserve forces and local troops in the early days, and now we have a total of 250,000 reserve forces and 100,000 local armed forces, a total of 350,000 people. Of these 350,000 people, only about 100,000 soldiers were equipped with standard weapons produced in our arsenal, and most of the other soldiers used broadswords and spears. “

The officers below were bowing their heads and discussing, and Wang Yong, the commander of the first division, said: "I have known about the existence of our reserve for a long time, but I didn't expect that there are so many people, which is really shocking." “

Zhang Yuanzheng stood up and said: "To be honest, I didn't expect that we actually have so many soldiers in the reserve and local armed forces, since there are so many soldiers, we must organize and record: Order that from now on, six provisional divisions will be formed, and the official number will be determined after the battle is completed, and outstanding military commanders from various field units will be selected to serve as division commanders of these divisions. From now on, the whole army will enter a state of first-class combat readiness. “

Then Zhang Yuanzheng said: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in our north is no longer good, now we are powerful, in the past, we did not attack in order to develop and strengthen ourselves first, and now it is time for us to start the decisive battle with them." The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Divisions immediately stood by at the junction of Guangdong and Jiangxi, the 8th, 9th, and 11th Divisions launched an attack from Hunan, and the six newly formed provisional divisions were used as reserves, while the remaining divisions were responsible for staying behind. Logistics supplies were sent to the front in advance. “

After the meeting, Zhang Yuanzheng returned to his office, thinking that after the defeat of Jiangxi, it was time to carry out a thorough reform of the entire military and political affairs, and that the territory would become larger and larger in the future, and that the current military and political system had begun to conform to the current development reality, and everything had to wait until the war was over.

Back home, Lin Jinluan came over and said, "Husband, are you going to go on the expedition again tomorrow?" Looking at his wife, Zhang Yuanzheng felt particularly indebted to her, he had been married for so long but did not accompany her from time to time, Zhang Yuanzheng said: "Well, I am leaving again tomorrow, you have to take care of yourself at home." When I have completed my mission, I will definitely accompany you and your children every day. ”

The next day was about to leave, Zhang Yuanzheng and his wife turned off the lights and rested. The next morning, Zhang Yuanzheng got up and washed. said to his wife: "I may be out for a long time this time, you will worry more at home, and your mother's health is getting worse and worse, you take care of it more, usually chat with your mother more, and the little sister, they are all so old, or like that, usually you pay more attention to it, see who the little sister likes, I, as an elder brother, did not pay more attention to the big things of the little sister, and it was really a dereliction of duty." ”

Lin Jinluan said: "You can rest assured about the affairs of the family, I will take care of it." ”

Zhang Yuanzheng rode the car manufactured by the Guangzhou No. 1 Automobile Factory, rushed to the front line, and came to the command headquarters, where the commanders of the divisions had already arrived, and in the war room, Zhang Yuanzheng ordered all units to enter the combat positions and launch an attack on time tomorrow.

On the second day, Zhang Yuanzheng looked at the map in the headquarters and picked up the phone on the table: "I order, the whole army will start the offensive. "The front-line departments began to want to attack the Taiping army on the opposite side.
