Chapter 905: Incorporate the Taiping Army
Shi Dakai put his hands on the conference table and sat upright, his eyes staring at Li Zhen, extremely calm.
Regardless of the final result, he has tried his best.
Everything, it depends on Li Zhen's final decision.
Chen Yucheng stood behind Shi Dakai, bowing slightly, already making an appearance that he was ready to shoot at any time. In that situation, it seems that if Li Zhen does not agree, he will immediately take action against Li Zhen, and he will desperately cause harm to Li Zhen.
The corners of Yang Luchan's mouth turned up, with a disdainful smile.
With him and Dong Haichuan's protection, even if Chen Yucheng has the ability to turn the sky, he can't turn Lang flowers.
Li Zhen pondered for a moment, and finally replied, "I agree to your conditions and agree with your decision. However, I would like to remind you that after you submit to me, it is best not to think about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom again. Once I find out that the Taiping Army has the slightest sign of it, whether it is the soldiers under your command who have left the barracks or the soldiers who continue to stay in the barracks, they will all be killed. ”
Shi Dakai's complexion changed slightly, he didn't expect Li Zhen to be so ruthless.
He understands that Li Zhen has this strength.
Only Li Zhen needs to count the residences of the soldiers in the army, whether it is the soldiers who have left or the soldiers who have stayed in the army, they will be under Li Zhen's control. Shi Dakai sighed lightly, nodded and said, "Please rest assured, as soon as I Shi Dakai says something, I will never regret it." The Taiping Army is already in the past. ”
When he said the last sentence, Shi Dakai's eyes were already moist.
Li Zhen said with a smile: "Those who know the times are Junjie, and I am optimistic about you." Of course, it is also right for you to submit to me. ”
Shi Dakai rolled his eyes, thinking that this person is really narcissistic!
Li Zhen said unhurriedly: "Think about it, the ultimate purpose of your instigation of the people to revolt is to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and give the people in the world a prosperous future, so that the people can have clothes and food. You do it in this direction, my purpose is the same as yours, we are people in the same boat. ”
Chen Yucheng sneered: "The power of the king of Zhennan is overwhelming, and it is inevitable that the world will change hands. As for the fact that the people have clothes and food, it still needs time to be verified, and it is not something that can be achieved in one or two sentences. ”
Li Zhen said: "We'll wait and see! ”
After a pause, Li Zhen said, "Chen Yucheng, you go back and bring the soldiers." ”
Chen Yucheng hesitated for a moment, then turned around and left to carry out the order.
Li Zhen looked at Yang Luchan and ordered, "Elder Yang, invite Zeng Guofan over!" ”
"Yes!"
Yang Luchan immediately responded, turned around and went to inform Zeng Guofan.
After a short time, Zeng Guofan strode in.
When Zeng Guofan saw Shi Dakai sitting upright, his brows suddenly furrowed, his face flashed with displeasure, and his eyes flashed with a strong sense of war. As the saying goes, enemies are very red when they meet, Zeng Guofan and Shi Dakai are mortal enemies, as soon as the two of them meet, they will not let them go at all, and they are already colliding with each other.
Li Zhen smiled: "Once, you were enemies, but now, you are colleagues, not enemies. When two armies are fighting, it is normal for each side to be the master of each side and to use all its strength. ”
Zeng Guofan snorted and sat down in the main seat on the left side of the conference table.
Shi Dakai raised his head slightly, and replied to Li Zhen's words, and then ignored Zeng Guofan.
The Mao Dun of the two seems to be irresolvable.
Li Zhen looked at Zeng Guofan and said, "Brother Bohan, I hope you can leave the past behind. I hope that you will change your thinking and turn your former opponent into a comrade-in-arms, because in the future you will be grasshoppers tied to a rope, and you will be prosperous and lossy, and if there is a suspicion, it will be difficult to carry out the work. ”
Li Zhen's expression was very serious, and he said: "Brother Bohan is the person I rely on and respect the most, whether it was before or in the future, he is one of the most important members of my team. I hope that you have an open mind and a big heart. In fact, you originally had this quality, but you suffered several losses in the hands of Shi Dakai. Can't you see this? If so, I can only say that I am looking at the wrong person! ”
Zeng Guofan listened to Li Zhen's words, stood up in fear and said, "The prince is right, this is my mistake!" ”
Li Zhen knew that although Zeng Guofan said this, he must still have a pimple in his heart.
As the saying goes, the bell must be tied to the bell, and the real reconciliation between the two is not something that Li Zhen can reconcile in a word. However, Li Zhen was able to subtly reconcile the two, so Li Zhen was not in a hurry. Li Zhen looked at Shi Dakai, and then continued: "Shi Dakai, in the future, you will work by Zeng Guofan's side, as his deputy, to assist Shi Dakai. The specific position will not be arranged for the time being, because Brother Bohan's position will also be adjusted in the future. ”
Zeng Guofan frowned, looked at Li Zhen, and showed surprise.
Li Zhen said: "Brother Bohan, the country is about to be reunified, and all kinds of waste are waiting to be rebuilt, war is no longer the main theme, but more about resuming production, so that the people can live a peaceful life." With your ability, if you stay in the army, you can't give full play to your talents, so you are not the most suitable in the army. Next, you jumped out of the army and cooperated with me in dealing with the affairs of the whole country. ”
Zeng Guofan asked, "What about the Second Army?" ”
Li Zhen said: "The second army, hand it over to Zhang Zhidong." At that time, Zeng Guoquan and others also stayed behind and dealt with the rest of the things in Sichuan with Zhang Zhidong. ”
Zeng Guofan said: "Yes! ”
Shi Dakai interjected and said, "King Zhennan thinks too well, I have just said that you can't force me to do anything I don't want to do." I have no intention of becoming a leader and no longer stepping into officialdom, so King Zhennan doesn't need me to do things. ”
Li Zhen said: "Shi Dakai, don't you care about the safety of the soldiers? Without you, I can't take care of the safety of the Taiping soldiers! If you work by Zeng Guofan's side, the soldiers have someone to support you, and life will be a little better. ”
"Despicable and shameless, backsliding!" Shi Dakai said angrily.
Li Zhen shrugged his shoulders and said indifferently: "Whatever you say, this matter is finalized, you work together!" ”
Shi Dakai snorted, but he thought in his heart, no matter how Li Zhen arranged, he just couldn't help.
Next, Li Zhen arranged Shi Dakai, and asked Zeng Guofan to go down, and ordered the soldiers to prepare, waiting for Chen Yucheng to arrive with the rest of the Taiping army. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Chen Yucheng took all the Taiping soldiers and came to Li Zhen's barracks. At this time, the weather has cleared, and a round of bright sun hangs in the sky, and the sun is shining.
The Taiping army entered the barracks, and Zeng Guofan had the Taiping army's weapons confiscated.
Then, a voluntary choice of soldiers is made.
Soldiers who are willing to stay remain in the army, and those who are unwilling to stay are given a settling-in allowance to let the soldiers leave. After an afternoon of processing, it was finally determined that there were 1,800 people left, and as many as 4,000 people left. For the remaining soldiers, Li Zhen still asked the generals in the army to select, and those who met the requirements were enlisted, and those who did not meet were arranged to enter the logistics.
As a result, Shi Dakai's army was torn apart and ceased to exist. After dealing with the affairs of the Taiping Army, Li Zhen gathered all the generals, including Zhang Suimou, Chen Yucheng and others, all gathered in the camp tent.
