In any case, Hu Linyi can have today, and he still relies on his old father-in-law. Tao Shu really knows the strengths and weaknesses of this son-in-law, and he is good at teaching. Otherwise, with his Hu Linyi alone, not to mention being released to Guizhou, even if there can be a later Jinshi Zhongdi, I am afraid that he can only drown in those Guanhai Huan River, which is as dense as insects and ants, and is looking forward to the alternate.
Guizhou is remote, and Qiandong is even more remote, not to mention the mountains, nearly ninety percent of the people are Miao, Dong and other non-Han ethnic groups. Hu Linyi came to Guizhou, successively served as the prefect of Zhenyuan and Liping in Qiandong, remote to remote, official to do, real power, no matter how bitter the place is, he will always not be bitter, not to mention that he is now a person with a heart.
It is a rare thing to boil capital and mix promotions in a peaceful and prosperous world. Everyone is willing to go to the rich governance place, and Hu Linyi doesn't want to fight for the head, of course, if he fights, he may not be able to fight. Therefore, he likes chaos, the so-called troubled times produce heroes, and if they are not chaotic, they can't show people's true talents. If you want to be promoted, you have to be able to show and pay. In his heart, this officialdom is also like the flower boat on the Qinhuai River that he was used to running in the past, the bitch doesn't look at whether you are handsome, but recognizes the money in your pocket. And the boss also likes to choose a slave with some skills, the tail should be clamped tightly, the work should be done beautifully, and at the same time, there will be some eyesight.
Hu Linyi did a very good job, and the remote mountainous area gave him the opportunity to show his face. He coincided with the troubled times, and used all his scheming to fight against the Miao people in Huangping, Taigong, Qingjiang, Tianzhu and other places, as well as the surrounding Hunan mob for several years, which was quite effective. His regimental training and armor protection system also became prosperous because of this, and he was soon favored by his boss and promoted to the host of Guidao. In order to make a name for himself, he also relied on his so-called actual combat experience over the years, combined with the "Art of War" and so on, to compile a "Hu Art of War", and his subordinates had a volume, which was regarded as a holy canon.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Jintian regimental camp and Yong'an were established, and then entered Hunan. When officials from all over the country were afraid that the fire would burn on their heads and were panicking, Hu Linyi was very excited for a while. If it is described as overjoyed, I am afraid that there will be no mistakes, this is a rare opportunity. However, he soon began to secretly lament his fate again, and the good fortune of the previous years seemed to have changed direction. The Taiping army did not stay in Hunan for a long time, but went all the way, he took the Guidong regiment to practice and kill in Hunan, but he didn't even get a shadow of long hair. When he finally "hoped" them back, he himself was a tiger.
Old friends Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Luo Zenan, etc., died and died, and those who were caught were arrested, and there was not much left. Of course, he didn't appreciate Zeng Guofan's set, and he didn't pay attention to it, Zeng Guofan compared with himself, it was just a talker. But after thinking hard about his art of war for many days, he also had no clue, he only had a few thousand soldiers under him, and the whole Guizhou was afraid that he would not be able to gather 100,000 soldiers and horses, not to mention that even if there were soldiers and horses, it would not be his turn to mobilize and control.
He began to hate these long hairs, really, if it weren't for the defeat of Hunan, and then give himself a chance to show Xiàn, the governor's top would not be a matter of hand.
In the face of the huge Taiping army, Hu Linyi no longer fantasized about Guizhou. Sun Tzu said well, "Ten will surround it, five will attack it, and the multiple will divide it, the enemy will be able to fight, the few will be able to escape, and if not, it can be avoided." "Looking through the military books of that family, I also concluded that I didn't take a few thousand to compete with such a powerful opponent, and it was okay to steal chickens and dogs.
Gradually, he began to secretly appreciate his opponent again. Shi Dakai's army took the entire territory of Hunan, but he did not use swords and soldiers to him, except for a few sporadic people who came and went, basically everyone was safe. By the time the main force of the Taiping Army entered southern Jiangxi, went down to Guangdong, and then turned back to Guangxi, Hu Linyi's mood had already begun to be the same as that of other bureaucrats. He began to be afraid, afraid that he would be the target of the next Taiping attack.
Guangxi is the nest of the Taiping Army, at this moment of crisis, the first court in Guangxi is the same as Guizhou, it is difficult to mobilize and organize more soldiers and horses to implement strong resistance to the Taiping Army, can only passively stick to a few points, talk about masturbation. And as the Taiping army deepened, the mob would snowball, rolling bigger and bigger.
The shape became more and more bad, the governor of Huguang and the governor of Guangxi, Fuxing, the governor of Guangxi, abandoned the provincial capital Guilin and fled west. According to the inspection envoy Kang Guoqi, Zuojiang Dao, Zhang Kaisong, and many officials from Guangxi also poured into his Guidong.
Now, Hu Linyi is even hairier. He originally thought that Liangguang would not be lost so lightly, and the main forces of the Taiping army were concentrated in Liangguang, and he still had plenty of time to arrange defensive forces in various dangerous areas. In addition, since the end of last year, Lao Chongguang, who was bombarded by Su Shun from the governor of Huguang to Guizhou to be the governor, once gave him a message in private, Su Shun heard his official voice, and the imperial court also had the intention of reusing him, and he also believed that this qiē was true. At the moment, there may not be many people who can compare with him, and he is even ready to leave. Looking at it now, it's not like that, if you don't hurry up, you will be promoted, but I'm afraid that it will be too late by then.
I can't help but say that Hu Linyi is a talent. His armor protection system has made Guidong, which is swaying and turbulent, and the torrent is surging, and it looks very quiet on the surface. He instigated the contradictions between the major ethnic groups in Guidong, and shifted the people's dissatisfaction with the Manchus to mutual national resentment. He also happily ran a secret battalion specially used to spy on all kinds of intelligence, and went deep into southern Hunan and maneuvered around the villages.
In order to defend against the possible Taiping invasion of Guizhou, he claimed to have exclusively "invented" the mountain defense line. In the vast border area with Hunan and Guangxi, according to the trend of mountains and ravines, defensive walls were built, watchtowers were built, copper and iron cannons were cast, and the private armed forces owned by the cottage lords, chiefs, and landlords who were extremely hostile to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to block the border.
It was at this time that he received letters from Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang.
Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang did not have much persuasion in their respective letters, and after a large amount of politeness and description of their current situation, they only briefly said that the rapid development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the trend of the times, and what the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did was the wish of the vast number of Han people and all the people of all lower classes. Although it was not explicitly proposed for him to judge the situation and choose his own way out, the meaning is self-evident.
Hu Linyi read the letter, of course, more than once, and in the end, he smiled coldly. The eldest husband came to this world, he wanted to live up to the sky, and he wanted to die vigorously, cowering, crying and urinating, even the girl on the Qinhuai River looked down on you. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but sigh, in fact, the windy and snowy nights back then may be much more pleasant than now.
"Push it out, cut it for me, send these two letters to Guiyang, and hand them over to the governor." Hu Linyi instructed the attendants on both sides.
"Wronged, wronged, Lord Daotai, Xiaomin is just a passing businessman, it was the Taiping Army who asked me to bring a letter along the way!" As soon as the merchant who delivered the letter heard the words of Lord Daotai, tears suddenly welled up like a spring, and he fell to his knees, "The military masters guarding the pass all know that I, Huang Er, am a serious businessman, and you can't kill ......me, sir."
"I can't kill you?" Hu Linyi smiled, "Joke! Did Lord Ben invite you here? Master Ben has killed many people, and anyone suspected of being a gangster must be killed. He leaned up to the back of his chair and danced impatiently with his hands.
The wailing merchant was dragged out, and Hu Linyi closed his eyes slightly. He knew in his heart that Guidong couldn't hold it, and he was so busy that he was just making an example for Shangguan, delaying the progress of the war in the future, so that he could slip away at the right time and leave an excuse.
"My lord, there are signs of Diao people trying to make taxes around Liping, and it has also spread to Zhenyuan and other places. It is said that many long-haired spies have infiltrated everywhere, and they are fanning the flames. The prefect of Ihirai, who was also in charge of confidential camp affairs, didn't know when he slipped in, and reported worriedly.
Hu Linyi opened his eyes and looked at him, the corners of his mouth tensed, "Comfort first, and promise whatever you want." At present, there are people everywhere who are building the city walls, and they must not be burned. When the official settles down this qiē, he will settle accounts with those Diao people. ”
"I've heard that long-haired firearms are very powerful, and this kind of battlement wall may not be of any use." The prefect of Ilipai lowered his head and sighed.
"I heard?" Hu Linyi laughed a few times, "You just listened to the hearsay of Kang Guoqi and Zhang Kaisong, according to this official, they are afraid that they haven't even seen a shadow of real long hair." ”
"But, after all, the foreigners have also been defeated in their hands, and they can't be despised either." The prefect of Ilipei looked up at Michidai-sama.
"Don't believe the rumors, the foreigners will lose to them? Hehe, maybe it's how much benefit Changmao has given up in exchange for the wait-and-see of foreigners. As soon as Hu Linyi said this, he felt funny, how much benefit can long hair give to foreigners? No matter how much we can give, it's really strange, what did Lord Sushun do in Guangzhou? He waved his hand, lazy to dwell on this issue, no matter whether he won or not, the battle must be fought, only in this way can the top be kept, and there will be glory in the future. "You've all seen it, the long hair has fought with us a few times, but it can't take any advantage? Now is the time for everyone to serve the country with all their loyalty, and there can be no more half-heartedness. Hurry up and persuade those adults and the defeated soldiers to get away, this official doesn't need them. You know, those rumors are dead! ”
"Yes, sir." The prefect of Ilipei nodded.
"Also, why haven't the Hualou girls from the prefectures and counties you summoned have arrived yet? This is not good, the soldiers are guarding this deserted mountain and soil day and night, how can they not give them some comfort? Hu Linyi said with some dissatisfaction.
"My lord doesn't know," the prefect of Liping spread his hands, his mouth was like eating bitter melon, and he grinned, "I came here at first, but the brothers were reluctant to give money, so ...... So ......"
"Hehe," Hu Linyi smiled, "These guys are a little too much. But, then again, who is willing to spend it now? issued a notice that if the flower buildings delay any longer, they will be sealed up forever. The soldiers will shed blood and sweat, and they should pay some at night. ”
"Yes, sir." The prefect of Liping had no choice but to nod again, and suddenly looked at Daotai again, blinking, "I heard that ......"
"I don't like those or something, go ahead." Hu Linyi frowned and picked up the teacup on the table.
