Chapter Seventy-One: The Great Conspirator Chen Dingtian

In the second year of Xianfeng, in early August 1852, the Taiping army conquered Changsha. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAnd this time to conquer Changsha is a situation that has not been seen in history before. According to the reports of the officers and soldiers of the Qing court, when the Taiping army conquered the unfavorable situation, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, would come out and shout the slogan "The revolution is not guilty, and the rebellion is justified" to offset the so-called "ideological work" of the Qing court. In the past, every time the Taiping army attacked unfavorably, the Qing court would take the opportunity to carry out a psychological offensive against the Taiping army, claiming that the Taiping army's rebellion was unreasonable and guilty, and took the opportunity to persuade them to surrender. However, under the hypnotization of Yang Xiuqing's slogan of "revolution is not guilty, rebellion is justified", these Taiping troops completely offset the psychological pressure of rebellion, and their combat effectiveness was successfully liberated.

As a result, the phrase "the revolution is innocent and the rebellion is justified" completely resounded throughout the world. The Taiping Army, which had laid down its psychological baggage, released its combat effectiveness to a greater extent, and actually conquered Changsha, which was previously unseen in history. Changsha has always been an important town in China, and the capture of Changsha means that an important town in China has fallen into the hands of the enemy, so it is a shock to the world for the Manchu Qing Dynasty. The Manchu Qing Dynasty immediately strengthened the mobilization of troops and mobilized no less than 200,000 troops, claiming to be 500,000 to encircle and suppress the Taiping Army. However, the Taiping army is stronger than in the original history this time, and it is not known who will die in this battle.

"It's strange, why did the Taiping Army actually conquer this Changsha, it's not scientific! The revolution is not guilty, the rebellion is justified, how can it reach the Taiping Army? Isn't this a sentence I wrote in this "Old Disabled Travels"? How did it reach the Taipings? Shouldn't it, the butterfly effect is so powerful? Chen Dingtian wondered.

However, at this time, Chen Dingtian's father-in-law, Zhou Lichun, hurriedly came over.

"Son-in-law, I'm going to start an incident right away, what do you think? Now the imperial court has gradually transferred our soldiers in Jiangsu, and at present, Jiangsu is also a place where there are insufficient troops, and a large number of troops have been transferred to suppress the Taiping Army, and we can take the opportunity to revolt next, so that we can seize Jiangsu as the foundation, and then conquer Jiangnan, the Central Plains in the north, and restore the Han world, what do you think? Zhou Lichun asked.

Chen Dingtian hurriedly asked, "Is this okay?" Are the soldiers ready, are your soldiers trained? Those hundreds of officers you sent to England to study have not yet returned, and you have decided to revolt so hastily? Hundreds of officers have not returned, and you are now seriously lacking in officers, will you be able to win? ”

Zhou Lichun said unhappily: "Virtuous son-in-law, why are you so ambitious to destroy your own prestige?" Could it be that without those few hundred people, it would not have been possible to defeat the Qing army? There are not many hundreds of people, but there are not many hundreds of people, and we will not lack these people. ”

Chen Dingtian still feels a headache, what is the future of his cheap father-in-law's uprising, this is still unknown! This father-in-law has obviously not experienced a real war, and is obviously a gangster. Although he received some military education, his thinking was already fixed, and it was difficult to change it completely.

"Bismarck, what do you think?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Bismarck shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhou, I don't think you should raise troops so hastily, it's very dangerous." If you are so sloppy, it seems that the enemy is now empty, and your soldiers have been trained for more than half a year, but this does not mean that the combat effectiveness is very strong. After all, your soldiers' foundation is too low, even if they go to the UK to study professional military affairs, even if they strengthen their learning progress, it will take more than a year to really graduate. These people are not just a few hundred people, but they are officers in the future, they are like seeds, they can form a huge army, they are the foundation of a strong army. But if you don't wait for them to come back now, it will easily cause the army to expand too quickly and eventually there will be a shortage of officers. You will be very dangerous at that time, so I advise you to be cautious! ”

Bismarck has been in China for several days, not to mention that Bismarck was also a language genius, naturally learned Chinese, so his pure Chinese, if you don't look at him as a big-nosed foreigner, everyone will think that he is a Chinese, or a Chinese with a Jiangsu accent. Now Bismarck's fluent communication with the Chinese is no longer a problem. The same is true for the other British Venix and James Bond, as agents, the learning ability is very fast, and they all learn Chinese quickly, so naturally communication is not a problem.

However, Zhou Lichun said irritably: "I think now is a good opportunity to take advantage of his small number of troops to directly come to a sneak attack." Didn't we do this kind of practice of taking advantage of his illness to kill him in the past? ”

Bismarck patted Chen Dingtian and said, "Mr. Chen, that's all I say, you can see it yourself!" ”

Chen Dingtian felt that the pressure was very huge, in the past half a year, in fact, more than 1,000 heroes of this Heaven and Earth Society have gradually become an army, and they can already be regarded as an army. But the problem is not them, they seriously lack tactics and officers to keep up with the times, and their officers' thinking is still stuck in the mode of those gangsters fighting in the past. Such a situation must be very dangerous, and such a situation is obviously very unqualified.

A soldier is a good soldier, but an officer is not a good officer, not even a commanding staff. In the words of a common saying, that is, "a first-class soldier, a second-rate officer, a third-rate commander, not a mobile commander". This Zhou Lichun's thinking is obviously unqualified, and in this rebellion, he obviously regards rebellion as a "dinner invitation" and a means to play casually. This kind of thinking is too dangerous to be true.

"Father-in-law, I want to say ......" Chen Dingtian still wanted to say something, but was immediately rejected by Zhou Lichun.

"Needless to say, I am the helmsman of this Heaven and Earth Society, and everything is up to me." Zhou Lichun said.

However, Chen Dingtian hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, since this is the case, I have a few suggestions, see if you can do it!" ”

"Say!" Zhou Lichun said.

Chen Dingtian replied: "Father-in-law, since this is the case, I won't stop you, but I hope you will agree to a few conditions for me." Among them, first, you have to hand over the foreign gun team to Xiuying to be in charge of personal command, even you don't have the right to transfer it at will. ”

"The Guns? The one who put the gun does have some power, in that case, then I will listen to you and hand over the foreign gun team to Xiuying, anyway, Xiuying's hands are not the same as my hands? Zhou Lichun said casually.

Chen Dingtian saw Zhou Lichun agreeing so casually, and since he felt happy in his heart, he was also a little worried. Because Zhou Lichun promised to hand over the foreign gun team to Zhou Xiuying's command, it means that this foreign gun team is in Zhou Xiuying's hands, and he can indirectly influence this foreign gun team by influencing Zhou Xiuying. This foreign gun team is actually the most elite unit at present, the most disciplined and the level of education is second only to the 200 students who were sent to study abroad. According to Chen Dingtian's idea, this foreign gun team can completely function as a non-commissioned officer corps, and in the future, this foreign gun team can be used as a non-commissioned officer training center, which can be regarded as the training of elite soldiers.

Keeping the foreign spear team and avoiding the senseless sacrifice of the foreign gun team means that this Tiandihui rebel army can be rapidly expanded again in the future. Later, when the 200 officers and students who studied in Britain returned, they could reorganize the Tiandihui rebel army again in a very short time.

But Chen Dingtian is still a little worried, because this Zhou Lichun is so "sloppy" about the command power of the army, in his eyes, there is no difference between this kind of thinking of dividing people and "sharing spoils", and distributing it to his daughter is actually the same in his own hands, and there is no difference. This kind of thinking is simply the same kind of Jianghu habit in the past, today you will have one more brother, tomorrow you will be punished, so you are completely backward in thinking, and you do not understand the importance of command at all. So this makes Chen Dingtian unable to laugh, so if this kind of person becomes the commander of a group, it is very difficult to explain which way the fate of this group will go.

"Second, what do you think of the transfer of the 200 students who studied military affairs in England? These people will be my people from now on, and I will decide where they go. Chen Dingtian said.

Zhou Lichun quickly agreed, saying, "Yes, isn't it more than 200 people?" Even if they come back, they won't be able to afford a big deal! ”

Chen Dingtian said: "Okay, so I agreed!" ”

And Zhou Lichun soon left, ready to carry out an uprising, and this Bismarck soon came to Chen Dingtian's side and said: "Gao, Mr. Chen is really smart!" ”

"What am I tall?" Chen Dingtian asked.

"Mr. Chen, I didn't think of your method at first, but I thought about it for a long time before I thought about what you were thinking, amazing! It's the first time I've seen such a clever method! I have to say that Mr. Chen really deserves to be a literati, isn't there a saying in China? Once a literati harms others, it is worse than many people, and literati have bad water in their stomachs! Bismarck said.

Chen Dingtian scolded: "What are you talking about? ”

"Hehe, Mr. Chen, you don't have to hide, I have nothing to do with your China, you can rest assured, I won't say much. But your method is too clever, I have to accept it! Bismarck said.

Chen Dingtian was puzzled: "What are you talking about, I don't understand!" ”

"Mr. Chen, why do you have to hide and pretend to be stupid? Well, I'm going to get it straight! With this move, you directly captured the foreign gun team and those officers in foreign countries, everyone knows that these cadets who studied military affairs in Britain are the real essence of the future, and the foreign gun team is also an essence. You put the guns in your wife's hands, which means it's no different from you holding it in your hands. On the other hand, if you have the power of those cadets who study the army in Britain, it is equivalent to grabbing a group of elite talents, so that even if this world will be broken up in the future, with the foreign gun team and those officers, it can be reorganized at any time to form a good army. ”

"Even, the reorganized army is more simple and more elite. In the past, those Heaven and Earth Society armies seemed to have a lot of people, but all kinds of messy people were good and bad. Although the Heaven and Earth Society looks like tens of thousands of people, these people are all rabble, and even once an uprising breaks out, it is still unknown how many people will be able to go on firmly. And their habits have too many historical legacies, and these historical legacies have greatly affected this newly formed army. At that time, these historical legacies will seriously restrict the development of the army. By then, fools would have known that the rebel army was doomed. However, you have mastered the essence of this rebel army, when those who are left behind by history have been eliminated on the battlefield. You can take out those essences, and at this time, continue to continue the banner of this so-called 'Heaven and Earth Society' and continue to collect all kinds of remnants of the defeated army, so that these people will also recognize your Heaven and Earth Society." Even you directly inherit this signboard and attract all kinds of talents. But you have mastered those essences, and you can directly change the core of those Heaven and Earth Society, so that the Heaven and Earth Society still looks like the Heaven and Earth Society, but it is already a new wine in an old bottle, which is not the case at all. You've changed the leadership and the core, and you've succeeded in removing the old clichΓ©s from the battlefield. At that time, once Zhou Lichun died on the battlefield, he had no son, only a daughter. When the time comes, either your son-in-law will inherit his position, or Zhou Lichun's daughter Zhou Xiuying, that is, your wife, will inherit his position. Once this happens, the leadership of the collective will fall into your hands anyway. β€œ

"Of course, I guess you will most likely choose to let Zhou Xiuying be the leader, and you will guide and control behind the scenes. Because let Zhou Xiuying take the lead, so that if you succeed, you can take the opportunity to join in as her husband and directly pick the final fruits of victory. And if you fail, you are not easy to be implicated, because you did not join directly, and there is a lot of room for maneuver at that time, as long as we Western countries are willing to come forward and give them some excuses to step down, then can they continue to pursue it? Therefore, it is really good that you are a means to advance and retreat, and to directly seek the greatest benefit for yourself. I Bismarck didn't think about it at all, there is such a way for such a person! ”

Chen Dingtian heard Bismarck's statement, and immediately fainted, he really didn't think of this Bismarck, he actually had such a powerful association ability and such a big brain!

"Damn, haven't I become a conspirator? What will others say about me in the future, the great conspirator - Chen Dingtian. Damn, don't bring such a cheat! Chen Dingtian complained.
