Li Zhongju summoned Liu Jiang and Song Naruto, "Peng Ren and Naruto now have a much larger territory, so it's time to expand our army." Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoThe first and second regiments of the two of you were expanded into the first brigade and the second brigade respectively, and you each recruited another 3,000 men and reorganized them into three regiments. I'll give you a plan after that. ”

Liu Jiang and Song Naruto immediately became excited, "It's the commander." ”

Liu Jiang and Song Naruto left the Chinese army camp with the commander's plan.

Li Zhongju looked at Zhou Tiezhu in front of him, this is a real man, and he handles the various guard tasks he has arranged in an orderly and impeccable manner.

"Iron Pillar, from now on it will be renamed the Independent Regiment, a total of 3,000 people are needed, and the Independent Regiment is directly under the headquarters, and at the same time it is equipped with an artillery battalion." Li Zhongju said earnestly to Zhou Tiezhu.

"Yes, Commander." Zhou Tiezhu immediately replied seriously.

At the same time, Li Zhongju sent a company to Tongren Mansion with his letter of appointment and plan to convey his military expansion order to Wang Jie and the others. Li Zhongju believed that Li Ran knew how to do it, after all, Li Ran was the strongest robot in later generations.

In the next few days, the Zhenwu army was almost rested, and the training army was also reorganized by Zhao Peng, and the strongest 6,000 people were selected. For the rest of the soldiers, Li Zhongju gave each of them a settling-in allowance of ten taels of silver, or absorbed them into the city defense camps of the two provinces.

At the same time, Li Zhongju gave a pension of fifty taels of silver to the soldiers who died on both sides of the war, as long as they could find soldiers with family members.

Li Zhongju's Zhenwu soldiers had a monthly salary of three taels of silver and ten catties of meat. The platoon commander has 10 taels of silver per month, the company commander has 30 taels, the battalion commander has 100 taels, and the deputy positions in each position also have two-thirds of the salary of the main post.

The treatment of the soldiers of the Zhenwu Army is really good, even if they die in battle, they will get a high pension, and all the Zhenwu Army will have such a strong combat effectiveness.

With the passage of time, the results of the war between Guizhou and Liangguang finally spread to Guizhou, to Liangguang, to Lianghu, to the north and south of the great river, and finally to the whole country.

When everyone got the news, they were all dumbfounded, how could it be possible that Li Zhongju's army in Guizhou was so strong, although people couldn't believe it, but this was the case.

At the same time, Li Zhongju led the army, accompanied by Zhang Zhidong, in the direction of Guangzhou.

Li Zhongju's army passed all the way, and he did not offend the people, and he also won a lot of praise.

On July 20, Li Zhongju's army arrived in Guangzhou, and Li Zhongju looked at this southern giant city, feeling a little emotional and relieved at the same time.

Zhang Zhidong looked at Li Zhongju who was thinking and felt a little surprised, but he didn't bother Li Zhongju either.

Li Zhongju silently swore in his heart that from here on, the fate of the Chinese nation will be completely changed, ushering in the strongest era, and the world will also enter the Chinese era.

Subsequently, Li Zhongju ordered the 1st Brigade and the Independent Regiment to enter the city, and the 2nd Brigade was temporarily stationed outside the city.

Li Zhongju and others came to the Governor Yamen of Guangzhou, Li Zhongju looked at everyone, and finally stopped on Zhang Zhidong's body, "Zhang Lao, now we have mastered the land of the three provinces, and I have absolute control of the land of Guizhou, and we must use the shortest time to control the land of the two provinces." ”

Zhang Zhidong nodded, "Commander, I will immediately start issuing orders to various places, and I believe that no one will object." At present, the Qing court does not have as much control over the local area as before, let alone the land of Liangguang, and I am confident that the land of Liangguang will completely free itself from the control of the Qing court. ”

Li Zhongju believes that Zhang Zhidong has this charm, after all, Zhang Zhidong is a very powerful person with means.

Li Zhongju also discussed with everyone how to govern the two Guangzhou, and finally everyone decided to follow the system of Guizhou to govern the two Guangzhou, but they should pay special attention to business.

Finally, everyone withdrew from the hall, Li Zhongju looked at Zhang Zhidong, and said seriously, "Old Zhang, your relationship with Li Zhongtang should be very good." ”

Zhang Zhidong didn't hide it, "The old man and Li Hongzhang are friends of life and death, and our relationship has always been very good. Zhongju, what do you mean? ”

Li Zhongju said his thoughts, "Elder Zhang, I want to ask you to write a letter to Li Zhongtang. The content mainly asked him to persuade the Qing court not to take the initiative to be our enemy, and I believe he understood the meaning of this. ”

Zhang Zhidong nodded, he understood what Li Zhongju meant, but he couldn't take the initiative to say it.

Li Zhongju looked at Zhang Zhidong, knowing that Zhang Zhidong had understood what he meant, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

At the same time, Li Zhongju appointed Zhang Zhidong as the governor of Guangdong Province, and he believed that Zhang Zhidong would definitely do a good job.

At the same time, Li Zhongju wrote a letter to Li Yaoshan, asking him to serve as the governor of Guizhou, and Li Zhongju believed that he and Wang Jie must have strong ability to become friends of life and death. In addition, Li Zhongju himself knows that Li Yaoshan is a person with dreams, and when he talks to him, Li Zhongju also believes that Li Yaoshan will be able to adapt to the post of governor of Guizhou.

At the same time, Li Zhongju transferred Li Yi to the governor of Guangxi Province. Li Zhongju promoted Zhang Chong of Qingxi County, Zhenyuan Prefecture, to serve as the governor of Guizhou Prefecture, and Zhang Qu of Dujiang County, Liping Prefecture, to serve as the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture. After all, the governor of Guangzhou Prefecture still needs a person who he trusts and has the ability to serve.

Wang Jie and the others are not afraid of Zeng Guoquan's army at all, after all, half a month ago, under the order of the commander, they began to expand the army. At the same time, Zeng Guoquan also got Li Zhongju's defeat of Zhang Zhidong, and immediately wrote a recital to the imperial court.

At the same time, Zeng Guoquan turned from offensive to defensive, and did not dare to continue the attack, he was even more afraid of being dragged by the other party. After all, during this time, the number of troops on one side far exceeded that of the other side, but it could not play an advantage.

Zeng Guoquan was extremely shocked and puzzled that Zhang Zhidong actually surrendered to Li Zhongju. He couldn't understand that the dignified Governor of Liangguang would surrender.

Beijing, a historical ancient city, finally received a report from Zeng Guoquan, the governor of Liangjiang, at this time, and there was undoubtedly another earthquake in the Qing court.

The Empress Dowager Cixi sat behind the screen with an extremely embarrassed face, no one could see Cixi's terrible face clearly, but the face that everyone could guess was definitely on the verge of rage.

Xu Tong, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, immediately added fuel to the fire, "Lafayette, now even the governor of one side has taken refuge in Li Zhongju in Guizhou, just ask me where the face of the court is, Lafayette, the court must send a large army to suppress it." ”

Li Hongzhang received a letter from Zhang Zhidong two days ago, although he still can't understand what Zhang Zhidong did. However, Li Hongzhang received a reply from his son Li Jingshu, and he had a sufficient understanding of Li Zhongju's courage, means, and ability.

When Li Hongzhang heard the official Shangshu say this, he immediately stood up, "Lafayette is angry for the time being, Li Zhongju smashed all the churches in Guizhou, and at the same time drove all the foreigners out of Guizhou. Galeries Lafayette, now I believe that the foreigners have also received this news, and as long as we pay a small part of the silver to the foreigners, we can take advantage of the foreigners' hatred of Li Zhongju to achieve our goal of exterminating Li Zhongju. ”

All the ministers nodded, after all, they also knew that Zhang Zhidong was by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, and they didn't want to face Zhang Zhidong head-on.
