"Mr. Zuo, don't come unharmed!" As soon as he saw Zuo Zongtang who was brought in, Shi Dakai stood up from his seat with a spring breeze on his face and arched his hand, "For more than half a year, I didn't expect us to meet again." Hehe, Gao Ji Zuo, Zuo Ji Gao, Mr. is very good at joking. ”

Gao Jizuo is the pseudonym that Zuo Zongtang gave himself when he temporarily took the initiative when the Heavenly Army entered Hunan for the first time to explore the final strength of the Heavenly Army and decide whether to choose to take this road. Now, listening to Shi Dakai's words, Zuo Zongtang grinned, not knowing whether to laugh or not, and couldn't remember what to say for a while.

As soon as he arrived in Changsha, the shackles on his body were removed and he was allowed to take a bath. Now, after washing away the muddy water, he feels much refreshed, but his heart is more uneasy and shy. How can you not be shy, thinking that you have seen through the heavenly army that cannot finally gain power, it is obvious that it has already indicated that it is going to gain power, and you have become a prisoner of the ranks, and you are allowed to be slaughtered. After sitting and thinking about it for several days, coupled with what he saw along the way, as well as all kinds of new information revealed by the escort soldiers, intentionally or unintentionally, it also made him feel that there were actually many talents in the Heavenly Army. People like themselves are by no means some kind of strange goods.

Shi Dakai looked at Zuo Zongtang, who was still standing in the center of the room with an unnatural expression, he walked out from behind the bookcase, and casually pointed to the chair next to him, "You're welcome, today, Shi is an old friend, I want to chat with Mr. Zuo casually, come, please sit." ”

Seeing Zuo Zongtang sit down, Shi Dakai ordered the guards to bring tea, and then sat down on a chair next to him, twisting his face to look at Zuo Zongtang, "The shape is developing very quickly, not only did we fight back, but we also sat in Changsha City." Actually, you have a general idea of the situation. Practically speaking, Changsha would not have taken such a long time to take it, and if it really wanted to take it, it would only take one day at most. ”

He picked up the teacup and raised it at Zuo Zongtang, "The tea in Hunan is still very good, the taste is very good, come, Mr. Zuo also drink some." Then, he continued, "However, we do not want to force ourselves, the lives of the brothers of the Heavenly Army are important, and we must minimize the losses." Of course, another purpose of ours is to educate the Xianfeng demon leaders in Beijing, not to think that the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion are not good, so we pin our hopes on the local tyrants and regimental training. Zeng Guofan is the best example, they pay lip service to the court, but in fact they are more out of their own selfish interests. In order to develop in the future, they must first preserve their strength. Hehe, our goal can be said to have been achieved, Luo Bingzhang has given his master a recital to impeach Zeng Guofan in accordance with our plan, and has experienced the drawbacks of local group training. The Xianfeng demon head will be sad. What does Mr. Zuo think of our approach? ”

Zuo Zongtang smiled awkwardly, he couldn't say anything. Just as Shi Dakai said, their current tactics are completely abnormal, seemingly unhurried, but there is a hint of murder everywhere. To tell the truth, the siege and reinforcement tactics they have adopted many times have made it difficult for the Qing armies from all walks of life to take care of each other in the future, because once they break away from the fortified city, it will be difficult to protect themselves. Zeng Guofan sat in Zhuzhou and did not dare to rescue Changsha, so why was he not afraid of the Taiping army? In particular, their light troops took a roundabout tactic, went to Xiangtan, took Xiangxiang, and even went to Hengzhou for a long time, carrying out a series of salary draws on the self-righteous Hunan army. He knew too well that as long as Zeng Guofan's military system fell, it would be difficult for the Qing Dynasty to find a force that could compete with the Taiping army. Zeng Guofan found a path that could have been feasible, but unfortunately he would only say it, not do it.

However, he is no longer a pity, and he no longer has the status to quote scriptures and talk about it eloquently. Zuo Zongtang is now more concerned about his future fate, at least not like the Zeng brothers. "His Royal Highness the Wing King," he muttered for a long time, but still chose this title, "Zuo has become a prisoner, where is the right to judge His Highness and His Highness's army." He sighed lightly, his lips squirmed a few times, and finally he couldn't help but say, "This Heavenly Army's definition of a traitor is still too broad. Tens of thousands of people in the world have shaved their hair and kept braids, especially the two sides of the war, each with its own master, it is difficult to say that they are willing to do it" His words were low and insufficient, and they all felt far-fetched. However, he is a temptation, a test of his future destiny, to see if there can be a turnaround.

"The Jurchens established the Qing Dynasty and made a weak and small nation that was originally attached to our China independent, and they no longer recognized themselves as the people of the Ming Dynasty. Therefore, the Manchu occupation of the Central Plains, in a sense, was no longer a change of dynasties in the past, but a foreign invasion. Of course, after obtaining the great rivers and mountains of the Central Plains, the Manchu Qing began to promote the Manchu and Han families in order to maintain their dominant position. Is it a family? Shi Da opened the teacup and shook his hand, "That's just a soup of the first grade." What they did was to make everyone in the world their slaves. Isn't it? I would like to ask you, Mr. Zuo, you are a well-versed scholar of the present and the ancients, but are you also very accustomed to the current one? Do you still have the sorrow of being a slave in your heart? ”

Zuo Zongtang lowered his head, not daring to face the other party. Speaking from the heart, he is indeed accustomed to all the qiē, if there is no righteous flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he still hasn't thought about any problems such as exile.

Shi was also a believer in Confucius and Mencius, and he was numb, and even had the intention of serving the country and serving the country when he was young. If it weren't for the Manchu Qing's own rotten deeds, without the ignition of the Heavenly King, Shi would still be a walking corpse. Shi Dakai said this and sighed, "Shi is from Guangxi, but he is a Han person. The Han people think that they have a profound culture and a long history, but it is precisely the dross of these cultures that has harmed generations of people, and the real essence has been discarded by people. For those uneducated people, the changes of 200 years, coupled with the whitewashing of the shameless literati among their own comrades, make them forget their ancestors and forget the hatred of the country, which is understandable. However, in today's circumstances, for those who know this qiē, but pretend to forget it, and even desperately defend the interests of the enemy, all these people are traitors, and none of them can be forgiven by the Heavenly Army. ”

Shi Dakai stood up, paced a few steps in the room, and then raised his hand high, "The Heavenly Army not only wants to overthrow the court of the Qing demons and tell them to get out, but also to eliminate a number of hypocrites and traitors, and return the world to a clear day." Didn't you say the Manchu family? Well, you Xianfeng will lead your servants to the nomadic herding and keep your braids, and we will not interfere, but they must obey the control of Heaven. In order to punish this despicable pseudo-court, what the Qing Demon wants to do but can't do, the Celestial Empire has to do. That is, the Qing demon is no longer allowed to have its own writing, language, and those who don't speak Chinese will be killed! The Celestial Empire advocates the equality of brothers of all ethnic groups, and within the Heavenly Army alone, there are not a few Zhuang among the old brothers in Guangxi. They used to have the same world as us, we were all like brothers, and now they are all fighting for the restoration of the world we deserve. Shi also advocates governing the world with benevolence and righteousness, but who should be divided, and for the unkind and unjust, he must use his own way to govern his body. Think about it, eighty or ninety percent of the world are Han people, can't we Han people raise their eyebrows and breathe a sigh? ”

Zuo Zongtang's head hung lower.

"Shi's Jintian regimental camp has a lot of production, and it is for this purpose that Shi is willing to follow the Celestial Empire." Shi Dakai looked directly at Zuo Zongtang and smiled slightly, "Old friend, Shi doesn't want to talk to you about more political affairs, you have your opinions." However, the system of the Celestial Empire has also been greatly improved compared with the beginning of the year, and we will change it as the situation develops. As long as it is good for the people, we will do it. Of course, as an old friend, Shi still shows you a way out. ”

Zuo Zongtang subconsciously raised his head and looked at Shi Dakai. Is there a way out? There was a longing in his heart.

"Mr. Zuo shouldn't be a fool. In the past 200 years, how could the Qing demon have ever had a day of Han people who can rest assured in the world? They were afraid that the Han people would come to their senses and turn his sky upside down. But the Han people preferred to fall. Therefore, as long as you write an essay to crusade against those traitors and lackeys who are for personal interests, regardless of the rise and fall of the world and the people, and read that you are not deeply guilty, the Celestial Empire may open the net. Shi Dakai returned to his seat and picked up the teacup again, "The treatment of you, even Shi alone doesn't count." After Zeng Guofan of Zhuzhou is captured, he will send you and him to Tianjing, and let the Celestial Empire decide your fate. After all, Zeng Guofan is now the number one enemy of the Heavenly Army, and you are his accomplice. However, from the perspective of a friend, Shi can try to provide convenience for Mr. Zuo's life during this period. Hehe, they were all once believers in Confucius and Mencius, and this kind of courtesy always has to be talked about. But Mr. Zuo must remember Shi's reminder just now. We have a vast land and abundant resources, and we still need talents to govern it. ”

"Zeng Guofan?" Zuo Zongtang seemed to have some doubts.

"Hehe, of course it's him." Shi Dakai took a sip of tea and smacked his lips, "In less than three days, you will be able to meet him." Definitely a living one. ”

"He's very face-saving." Zuo Zongtang shook his head.

"Well, fake Sven, of course you have to save face." Shi Da laughed openly, "However, what he cherishes more is his life." Do you think, people's lives are going to be gone, who will enjoy those things that you desperately catch? ”
