Xue Zhiyuan's younger brother Xue Zhiwu is a division commander under him, and he is currently stationed at another important stronghold at the northern gateway of Tianjing,**.

In fact, when it comes to power, if you really want to talk about seniority, the Xue brothers themselves can't help but admit that what they already have cannot be regarded as small. Therefore, after Li Zhaoshou's secret envoy came, Xue Zhiyuan, who used to be almost only Li Zhaoshou's order, began to hesitate. He invited his brother from ** and repeatedly weighed the pros and cons.

If you vote in the past, you can give a general rank, and you are also the princes of a town, compared to the current military commander, it is also said in the past. Of course, there is still money, if it passes, Li Zhaoshou said, the Qing Dynasty can also give a sum of money to settle down, and then count the soldiers' salary, it is a lot of wealth. In addition, with money and power, a beautiful wife and concubine can marry casually, and you don't have to live a monk-like poor life anymore. Although sometimes I can still be rich here, and I can't help but do something to make myself "happy", but after all, it's all about stealing chickens and dogs, and I can't see the sunshine, so I have to be afraid to do it. From this point of view, there are still many benefits to investing in the past.

However, the Celestial Empire's current heavy victories on various battlefields in the south cannot be ignored. As the saying goes, only the true dragon son of heaven can sit in the world, although Hong Tianwang is a grass-headed son of heaven, but there are two real dragons in the Heavenly Empire!

Xue Zhiwu saw the scene of the two true dragons descending to earth with his own eyes. Not only that, when he went to Tianjing for training at the beginning of the year, he was also fortunate to witness the artillery demonstration organized by King Ning, obediently, a new type of cannon can be beaten out for more than ten or twenty miles, to put it bluntly, as long as the Celestial Empire is angry, don't say anything else, just arrange dozens of cannons on the other side, you can level this Pukou. In the past, foreigners were powerful, and no matter how good the Qing Dynasty was, they had to bow to foreigners. Now, now the foreigners are bowing their heads to the Celestial Empire, not to mention a Manchu Qing. Let's just talk about my brothers, if I was afraid of the Manchus, who would have embarked on this road of rebellion?

If you make a decision and the Celestial Empire finally gains the entire world, then aren't your brothers asking for their own death? Xue Zhiwu is young, but he thinks more comprehensively than his brother. The most fundamental thing is that as soon as he thinks of the Red Army with new equipment, Xue Zhiwu will commit 100 percent of the two tigers, and if he is asked to compete with the Red Army one day, he will not go to kill him.

"Big brother, this matter is too tricky, be careful. Now that King An is in Yangzhou, maybe the first battle will wipe out Su and Anhui, and it won't be able to keep it, let's not find a trap to jump on. Xue Zhiwu reminded in a whisper after carefully analyzing all aspects of his eldest brother.

"I don't think so." Xue Zhiyuan is a big old man, he has no culture, and he has not had the glorious experience of being trained like his younger brother. However, he was confident that he was a natural military genius. He also considered his younger brother's analysis, and the reason why foreigners were able to lose in the hands of King An was that he thought it was just a coincidence. The foreigners are not prepared for a big war, let alone have an absolute superiority in troops, and it is inevitable that they will fail in the war. Now the Russians have fully intervened in this war, although the Celestial Empire has begun to have friendly relations with several foreign nations, and is gradually favored by foreign nations. However, after all, the Celestial Empire has also offended many foreign nations, especially the two big victims of Britain and the United States. They won't give up. As for weapons, of course, he hasn't had a chance to see how powerful the foreign guns and cannons of the Russians invited by the Qing Dynasty are, at least in his opinion, everything in the world is always the same, even if King An and King Ning are true gods, the things they create must have been made by foreigners, and they can't be imagined out of thin air, right? Otherwise, the Qing Dynasty will last for 200 years and will be full of talents, so why can't it get foreigners? Immortals, it's naturally convenient to float around, and stealing some new gadgets is just a matter of hand.

"Foreigners are not to be underestimated, as far as I can see, in a few years, Britain and the United States and other powers will start wars against the Celestial Empire one after another." Xue Zhiyuan snorted, and Zhuan Er smiled again, "Actually, brother, we should think more about it." I am tired of doing this kind of clear-water official, and I can't get any benefits if I have merit, and once I have it, I will go bankrupt. If you think about it, how many people will really like to go to a day like this? Sooner or later, the people will rebel against their relatives. Don't say anything else, let's take what Hou Qianfang came here to do two days ago, he wants to marry a wife and settle down, and he still wants to be more glorious, what can he do if he has no money? It's not like you have nothing to do and come to Pukou to disgust me? Saying that there were Manchu traitors in Pukou and that they should be cleaned up, I asked the military quartermaster to give him 5,000 silver dollars, and he immediately changed his face and called me a brother and a brother. Alas, he is a direct subordinate of King An, and they dare to start doing this, do you think it will be good in the future? ”

Xue Zhiwu smiled, and he also felt the same way about what his eldest brother said, the various policies of the Celestial Empire that are now engaging in clean officials are indeed unbearable for many people. But he still thinks about going one level higher than his eldest brother, and Tianjing's training can't be said to be uneducated for him. He felt that it was right to be honest at the moment, to fight, to let more ordinary people join the ranks of the Heavenly Army, to make more soldiers willing to sacrifice their lives for the Celestial Empire, and to show a unique temperament as an official, love and cherish the soldiers, and let the soldiers see you eat and wear the same as him. The army created in this way is strong, and he himself knows it deeply.

According to King Ning in the training, although his division was less than 4,000 people, among the same four divisions in the army, it was absolutely scratchy, and the soldiers worshiped him as a god. As for the future, he still believes that as long as the world is peaceful and everyone has a good life, the treatment of officials will naturally change, and this so-called equality will not last forever.

However, this kind of expectation for the future is obviously something that the eldest brother is unwilling to wait for. Also, according to the current situation, no one dares to say how many years it will take to be peaceful. Since the Manchu Qing Dynasty also has a new army called "Loyalty and Righteousness Rescue", it is better to go over by yourself, you can bring what you have learned here with you and put it into use in the same way. However, Li Zhaoshou's secret envoy didn't say what kind of official position he would arrange for himself? It's not good to be small, after all, it's a gamble with life.

The two brothers each had their own ghosts, and finally reached an agreement, according to Xue Zhiwu's idea, the secret envoy had to go back to report to Li Zhaoshou, and arrange for Xue Zhiwu to be given a suitable official position, and there was also the right time to start an incident, waiting for the Qing army to attract the heavenly army garrison in Chaohu, so as not to be besieged by the heavenly army just after the incident.

Just after it seemed that the envoy had returned again to answer the various requests of the brothers, things took a new turn.

This change not only made the Xue brothers forget about it in a panic for a while, strictly speaking, it should have temporarily stopped making preparations before the rebellion, and even the secret envoy sent back by Li Zhaoshou to return to Chuzhou became a problem.

The two-way army of Hu Yihuang and Lin Qirong suddenly appeared in ** and Pukou, and then tightly blocked the traffic arteries leading to various places, so that the Xue brothers almost thought that this was completely aimed at them at the beginning. It wasn't until he attended the temporary meeting convened by Hu Yihuang outside Pukou City that Xue Zhiyuan understood that these two men and horses were strengthening their defenses on the first line from ** to Pukou, and to make a second-line guarantee for the battle of Luzhou, in case the Qing Demon formed a siege posture on Luzhou again.

Hu Yihuang did not tell the truth, their task was actually to be on standby, waiting for the best opportunity to attack the western front defense of the northern camp of the Qishan River.

Just when the Qing army began to launch a fierce pounce on the outer defense line of the Luzhou Heavenly Army, and the various units of the Heavenly Army resisted one by one according to the deployment plan, and on the night of the transfer to Luzhou, Tongzhou on the bank of the Yangtze River was drowned in a sea of artillery.

The Celestial Army, the Jiang Waterproof Army, and the Celestial Navy, which participated in the war, strongly suppressed the momentum of the Manchu defenders in Tongzhou and Haimen with all kinds of artillery fire.

On the Yangtze River, thousands of large and small transport ships compete to cross the river, almost filling the river.

The Teaching Brigade and the Red Army University Cadet Corps set off on two routes and arrived at their respective destinations on the other side of the river.

It took less than an hour for the Red University soldiers to let the bright military flag flutter high at the four gates of the Haimen Hall. Immediately, the Red University soldiers turned around and pounced on Tongzhou, which had been beaten by the teaching brigade and was already unprepared and exhausted.

In the face of heavy blows on both land and water, the Manchu defenders of Tongzhou completely lost the will to resist when the four gates were finally surrounded, first of all, the West Gate guards surrendered to the teaching brigade, and when tens of thousands of peasant troops on the south bank of the Yangtze River crossed the Yangtze River, Tongzhou had become the pocket of the Red Army.

Tan Shaoguang's teaching brigade didn't even have a short rest, that is, under the cover of the flanks of Li Shixian and Chen Tingxianghong's army who began to point towards Hai'an Prefecture, more than 4,000 elite cavalry slaughtered Bentaizhou City non-stop.
