After Chen Dingtian and Yang Xiuqing reached an agreement, the two sides began to discuss the affairs of this related Zhenjiang area. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoIn this way, Zhenjiang will be established as a jointly administered area by both sides, and a municipal committee will be established, and the chairman of the municipal committee will be sent by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The vice chairman is named by Chen Dingtian, and several other municipal councillors will send people here to take charge. For those middle and low-level civil servants, the two sides are also sent to each other, in principle, in a one-to-one ratio, so that both sides can act as a balance for each other. However, with regard to the Zhenjiang Army, the two sides intend to set up a joint force to jointly command and manage it. However, the specific candidates and arrangements immediately caused a lot of controversy.

"We think we should send it according to the five-to-one method, we send five people, you send one!" Yang Xiuqing said.

Chen Dingtian immediately asked, "Why?" ”

"Brother Chen, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to hurt people, and you can't have the heart to prevent people! Don't pretend to be stupid with me, your woman Mo Qing has more than 3,000 cavalry, these are cavalry. Where is the combat effectiveness of the cavalry that our infantry can compare, and even our five to one is already good, I haven't said eight to one! The cavalry is much more powerful than our infantry, so how can we rest assured? Yang Xiuqing said.

Yang Xiuqing directly pointed out the difference, that is, the people of the Heaven and Earth Society sent the cavalry under Mo Qing, but the Taiping Army did not have cavalry. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry is more than a little bit stronger than that of the infantry, and if you really want to fight, let alone five to one, or even ten to one, it may not be very safe. The impact power of the cavalry is something that the infantry can't easily resist, so of course Yang Xiuqing won't be stupid and really send troops one-to-one, so this is a big loss for the Taiping army, a very big loss. Therefore, Yang Xiuqing insisted on sending a five-to-one ratio to dispatch, otherwise the Taiping army would suffer a great loss.

Chen Dingtian laughed, obviously knowing a little about Yang Xiuqing's worries. Even he, a literati, knew that the combat effectiveness of the cavalry was not comparable to that of the infantry, and it was not a problem for the cavalry to almost crush several times the infantry. The Taiping Army had no cavalry, so it was very difficult to face Mo Qing's thousands of cavalry. Both sides are like this, so Yang Xiuqing directly proposed to match according to the ratio of five to one, which ensures the basic balance of strength between the two sides. Therefore, in this way, the two sides can still be relatively stable and can maintain a balance of strength, otherwise once there is a conflict, it may end up being a big loss for the Taiping army.

Peace is the only way to maintain the balance of power. If the power is more unbalanced, the more likely it is to break out into war, and this is a historical experience. As for what to say about disarmament for the sake of peace, this is impossible. The more balanced the power, the easier it is to keep the peace. Otherwise, once the strength is unbalanced, it will be easy for war to break out, because no one can help but swallow up the weak, and this is the reason for the outbreak of war.

As for Chen Dingtian, after leaving the Dongwang Mansion, Yang Xiuqing held a meeting again.

"This time, I have reached an agreement with Chen Dingtian of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the two sides will manage this Zhejiang together. We're going to send this chairman of the municipal council, but who are we going to send to be the chairman? And the other party asked this Chen Dingtian to be named, but Chen Dingtian is Zhou Xiuying's husband, and his status is high, so we can't send people with too low status. Otherwise, I'm afraid they will think that we don't pay attention to it, so who do you think wants to go to this Zhenjiang? Yang Xiuqing asked.

Everyone looked at each other, and no one was willing to leave this Jiangning. However, Zhenjiang was the eastern gate of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and of course they knew that they had to hand over an important person to be in charge of guarding the town, so that it was an important means to ensure their safety. Whoever is going to come to the town to guard, and the status cannot be too low. But no one wants to be in the flower world of Jiangning, although Jiangning is largely empty, but all kinds of facilities are still left here. Even many of the magnates of the Heavenly Kingdom were unwilling to do this drudgery, unwilling to go to Zhenjiang, and just wanted to stay in this Jiangning to enjoy.

Obviously, no one wants to nominate themselves.

But at this time, Hong Xuanjiao took the initiative to come out and said: "I'll go, I'm also the royal sister of the King of Heaven, and my identity is enough for everyone." Besides, I don't have anything for you to do here, so why don't I go! ”

Hong Xuanjiao took the initiative to come out and chose to go to Zhenjiang to be responsible for serving as the chairman of the Zhenjiang Municipal Committee. Everyone also feels that this Hong Xuanjiao's identity is enough, not only the royal sister of the king Hong Xiuquan, but also belongs to the "princess" in terms of identity. Although Hong Xiuquan has been set aside by Yang Xiuqing, he is also the nominal leader. So his royal sister is a princess, so it's enough in terms of relationship. Because Chen Dingtian is the husband of Zhou Xiuying, the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, then sending a royal princess out here is also of equal status. In addition, Hong Xuanjiao is an important figure in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so his identity and status are also suitable.

Hong Xuanjiao has been a little embarrassed since Xiao Chaogui died. Because of her status as the queen of the West, I am afraid it will be difficult for her to remarry. Because the ancient idea of observing festivals was too serious, although it was in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it was still difficult to get rid of this old idea in a short period of time. Including many people, they will default to Hong Xuanjiao's observance, so Hong Xuanjiao's status is a little embarrassing. Although she is the royal sister of the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan has been hollowed out, and her husband has been dead for a long time, so naturally there is a man to support her, and her position is a little uncomfortable in this high-level who is almost all men.

This is also normal, if there are all boys in a class, and there is only one girl, then that girl will probably be very stressed. So almost all of the high-level people are men, and she Hong Xuanjiao is a woman with a somewhat embarrassing status, which makes her feel a little uncomfortable. Rather than not having much real power here, it is better to take the initiative to go to Zhenjiang. Once you go to Zhenjiang, you are the ruling party, and you have a lot of real power. After the ruling party is in charge, he is the number one, and there is no one around him to restrain him too much, so he doesn't have to be splinted, which is still acceptable.

"Okay, since that's the case, then let the West Queen Niang go!" Yang Xiuqing said.

The relationship between Hong Xuanjiao and Yang Xiuqing in this time and space is not bad, because Xiao Chaogui died prematurely, Xiao Chaogui did not compete with Yang Xiuqing for power and profit, so Yang Xiuqing did not have much resistance when he ascended to the actual ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom, so Hong Xuanjiao, as Xiao Chaogui's nominal wife, died prematurely in Xiao Chaogui, so naturally she will not be involved. As for Yang Xiuqing's elevation of Hong Xiuquan, this Hong Xuanjiao didn't have much opinion, because Hong Xuanjiao was not Hong Xiuquan's sister back then, but the saint of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Of course, in order to ensure the so-called religious mystery, Hong Xiuquan's god stick kept Hong Xuanjiao a virgin, so that she was a "holy" saint.

As for the later order to win over Xiao Chaogui, and the status of the God Worship Association was also stable, naturally there was no need for this so-called holy woman. Hong Xiuquan married Hong Xuanjiao to Xiao Chaogui, in order to win over Xiao Chaogui. However, Xiao Chaogui, a short-lived ghost, didn't even touch Hong Xuanjiao's body, and died.

Later, no one dared to provoke Hong Xuanjiao, because this Hong Xuanjiao was the queen of the West, and the ancients had the idea of observing festivals, so they didn't have the courage to touch Hong Xuanjiao, because it had a relationship with a widow, which was taboo for everyone. So Hong Xuanjiao is embarrassed, she is already a mature royal sister of twenty-seven or eighteen years old, but she is still a virgin. And she is very embarrassed at the top of this heavenly kingdom, it is better to take the initiative to go to Zhenjiang, so it is also beneficial for the ruling party.

"In that case, who should lead our Zhenjiang garrison? Zhenjiang is the east gate of our kingdom of heaven, and it is not possible without a good general. So who's going to take a trip? Yang Xiuqing asked.

Hong Xuanjiao took the initiative to say: "Let Sanniang go, Sanniang is also our old man, and her status is also very high." As the deputy commander of the women's battalion, and more than ten years of fighting on the battlefield, he is a rare veteran, so it should be possible to let Sanniang go. Our Zhenjiang garrison asked Sanniang to go, that's okay. ”

Hong Xuanjiao knew that Feng Yuniang's situation was similar to herself, and she was dominated by men at the top level. And when these men arrived in Jiangning, they began to have pleasures. Even went to the women's camp all day long to pagesee beauties, so that Hong Xuanjiao, the head of the women's camp, and Feng Yuniang, the deputy head of the women's camp, were also very dissatisfied. But there wasn't much to do, so he simply couldn't see it, and directly asked Feng Yuniang to follow him, and then went together to form this so-called Zhenjiang Army. What's more, Feng Yuniang is also very suitable, she also has more than ten years of experience in the battlefield, and it is not a problem to lead troops.

The identities are also sufficient, according to the future establishment of this Zhenjiang army, there should be about 15,000, and those who can lead 15,000 troops are also very high status. Feng Yuniang has this qualification, whether it is ability or qualifications, she has this qualification to lead 15,000 troops, and even the elite is also qualified.

"Well, I'm willing to go too!" Feng Yuniang said.

Yang Xiuqing also agreed with Feng Yuniang to follow Hong Xuanjiao, of which Hong Xuanjiao is the chairman of the Zhenjiang Municipal Committee and the leader of Zhenjiang. And Feng Yuniang is the leader of the local garrison, but the leader of this garrison is also discounted. Especially the more than 3,000 cavalry in Mo Qing's hands, she can't directly command. According to the previous plan, the Taiping Army appointed a chairman of the Zhenjiang Municipal Committee and formed a joint force. The Zhenjiang Garrison Area was established and a number of troops were set up.

Soon, this Yang Xiuqing also quickly began to transfer troops, preparing to form this so-called Zhenjiang Army. Among them, Yang Xiuqing transferred 15,000 troops to Feng Yuniang, and these troops were not ordinary troops.

"General Su Sanniang, these 15,000 people are the elite of our old brothers in Guangxi. Originally, this unit was used to prepare for the Northern Expedition, but the desire to defend against people was indispensable, so the plan for the Northern Expedition was cancelled. This more than 10,000 Guangxi brothers are used to defend the Heaven and Earth Society. In this way, although the Heaven and Earth Society has a good relationship with us at the moment, we must not be unguarded. What's more, the troops sent by the Heaven and Earth Society are all cavalry, so ordinary troops cannot defend against cavalry. Only the combat effectiveness of our old brothers can be trusted, and we have sent Guangxi old brothers to you, hoping that you will lead them well. Yang Xiuqing said.

In this way, more than 10,000 elites were quickly allocated to Feng Yuniang, because Yang Xiuqing was afraid that Tiandihui and Yiliang would attack together, so he had to cancel the Northern Expedition strategy, and then sent this old brother to defend the direction of Tiandihui, that is, to garrison Zhenjiang. However, there is another reason, that is, the cavalry sent by this Zhenjiang Heaven and Earth will be cavalry. The combat effectiveness of the cavalry is very strong, and it cannot be overly valued. In case of a conflict, only the combat effectiveness of the old brothers can be trusted, and those later cannon fodder, not to mention whether they are really of one mind, even if they are trustworthy, the combat effectiveness is also questionable.

There are only old brothers in Guangxi, so they are trustworthy in terms of trust and combat effectiveness.

"Next, although 15,000 troops were ostensibly sent, and I also intend to allocate 10,000 sailors to you. However, he did not go ashore on this weekday, but was stationed at the nearby port of Yangzhou. We plan to prepare to attack Yangzhou, and when the time comes, we will have 10,000 naval troops stationed near Yangzhou. Including Jiangxin Island in the Yangtze River, these will not be directly under the so-called garrison area, but directly I secretly authorize you to command, so that you can get support when necessary. Yang Xiuqing said.

Yang Xiuqing directly and secretly granted Feng Yuniang the command of another 10,000 water troops, and Feng Yuniang could command these 10,000 water troops when necessary. Whether it is covering the retreat of the troops or providing emergency support, these 10,000 naval troops can also obtain sufficient status. This Yang Xiuqing is not an honest person, although he only sent more than 10,000 troops on the surface, but in fact he sent more troops. Of course, this 10,000 troops are naval forces, which can land to support when necessary, or to cover the retreat of the troops. Once they reach the Yangtze River, Moqing's cavalry will not be able to play a role, after all, the cavalry cannot fight on the water.

So nominally, this Zhenjiang garrison area nominally has 18,000 troops, but in addition, Yang Xiuqing secretly authorized Feng Yuniang to have a 10,000-strong naval army, which can be regarded as both an army and a naval army.

The Zhenjiang Garrison Area soon began to prepare for its establishment, and both sides were dispatching personnel and corresponding officer teams to prepare for the formation of this jointly organized Zhenjiang Garrison District. Nominally, it is responsible for maintaining law and order, but in reality it is responsible for buffering the two sides, preventing a direct war between the two sides.

Regarding the personnel arrangements in this Zhenjiang garrison area, especially the high-level personnel arrangements, this is actually not a big problem, because the two sides have already had a tacit understanding, and this is something that Chen Dingtian and Yang Xiuqing have preliminarily discussed. However, when it comes to the middle and lower levels, especially those commanders, military, political, logistics and other departments, this is the real focus.
