Zeng Guofan lowered his head and listened to the constant chirping of several cronies and brothers, and gently pulled the rice in the bowl with chopsticks without saying a word.

The attentive Chu Ruhang looked at the silent teacher and felt something. He waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and said to everyone. He is a native of Wu County, Jiangsu, and during the Daoguang period, he spent money to donate a small position as the political secretary of Guangxi. coincided with the Tianping Army Jintian Incident, he abandoned literature and joined the military, and because of his meritorious pursuit and suppression, he was promoted to the registered prefect. He admired Zeng Guolian's erudition, when Zeng Guofan planned to build Shui Yong in Hengzhou, he tasted the sweetness of being a military officer, and immediately rushed to take refuge with his friend Xia Luan in the same province, and respected him with a teacher's courtesy.

Only then did everyone who quieted down hear Zeng Shuai's heavy snort, and after taking a closer look, they found that a few of Zeng Shuai's tears rolled down and fell into the rice bowl. Everyone was stunned.

"Teacher, why are you sad?" Chu Ruhang put a sweat towel from his sleeve and gently put it in front of the teacher.

"Alas!" Zeng Guofan picked up the sweat towel and wiped the corners of his eyes, "I think of Brother Meiquan (Luo Zenan's) again." If he is still here, everyone will drink and enjoy the literature together, what a pleasure! ”

"Yes, Mr. Mei Quan is an old pedant, but he is an extraordinary veteran, and he is really a model for the students. It's a pity that he died at the hands of thieves. Chu Ruhang sighed.

Zeng Guohua shook his head, "Brother Luo overestimated the strength of his subordinates to practice bravery, and he was in a hurry to go out of the province to rescue Nanchang." As a result, I didn't even see the shadow of the long hair, my eldest brother asked him to come to Hengzhou, but he didn't come, and insisted on staying in Luzhou. ”

Zeng Guofan glanced at the sixth brother fiercely, "What nonsense!" What's wrong with staying in Luzhou? Didn't the development of events meet Brother Meiquan's prediction? ”

"That" Zeng Guohua was a little unconvinced, and wanted to say something more.

Zeng Guofan waved his hand, "That's what I'm sad about." Brother Meiquan eats the imperial court, and his training is paid, so he should do this. But we're different. Our Xiangyong didn't eat the salary of the imperial court, and the brave soldiers were all brought out by their hometowns, so they always have to go back and give an explanation to their hometown fathers. The bandits must be suppressed, and we must do our best to preserve our foundation. ”

Zeng Guoquan stood up, "Big brother, since you are going to war, you will inevitably die." Who would not understand this truth among the brave men who came to apply. The Holy Lord issued several decrees, and finally entrusted the eldest brother with such power, which shows the importance of the Holy Lord on the eldest brother. We can't afford to miss the opportunity. ”

"Holy?" Zeng Guofan shook his head and smiled bitterly, "What the Holy Lord thinks about is how to keep the Qing Dynasty, and he won't consider our Xiangxiang." ”

"The more the eldest brother talks about me, the more confused I become," Zeng Guoquan said, stretching out his hand to the north and pointing, "If Changmao occupies Changsha, he will be able to hit our hometown immediately, can we stay here any longer?" ”

"Let's not talk about this for now, let's eat all the food first." Zeng Guofan picked up his rice bowl and glanced at the fourth brother Guohuang, "The person sent to pick up Zuo Jigao can rush back tonight, right?" ”

He calculated and nodded, "It should be possible." ”

Zeng Guofan sighed, "After discussing it with Zuo Jigao, let's make a decision." He took a bite of the rice, and immediately put the rice bowl in his hand on the table again, his brow furrowed. Damn ringworm again

The dinner at the temporary Anwang Mansion in Zhenjiang is over. The officials left one after another, but Su Sanniang did not move.

Lin Haifeng sent away Li Xiucheng, who left last, returned to the hall, looked at Su Sanniang who was frowning, stretched his arms and yawned, "Yo, Su Anfu is not tired?" Tsk, it seems that those who have been generals are better than me, the king. I don't need to eat a few bites of food, and it seems that I don't need to sleep much. This king can't do it, he can eat and sleep. Oh, this day didn't stop, but the king was going to die of exhaustion. ”

"Your Highness, this appeasement envoy is still going to find someone else, Sanniang can't do it." Su Sanniang turned her head away and didn't look at King An's appearance.

"Oh?" Lin Haifeng took the tea brought by Liu Xianghe and walked up to Su Sanniang, "It can't be that this appeasement makes the power too small, right?" He handed the tea to Su Sanniang, and when he saw that she didn't answer, he smiled and put it on the table.

Su Sanniang lowered her head, fiddling with the corners of her clothes and did not speak.

"It's not that I hate cumbersome local affairs, alas, it's still fun to fight." Lin Haifeng sat on a chair opposite her and sighed. Seeing that she still didn't say a word, he smiled hesitantly and leaned forward, "Do you want to go to Prime Minister Luo Xuanluo?" However, this is difficult, it is estimated that Prime Minister Luo Cheng may not be in Wuchang now, whether he went to Yuezhou or Changsha, it is difficult to say. ”

Su Sanniang raised her head suddenly, her face flushed, "Your Highness, why do you like to listen to the rumors of those people?" Sanniang and Luo Cheng are like brothers and sisters, how can there be those bad things. ”

Lin Haifeng took his cup, took a sip, and smiled, "Since this is not that or that, it must be afraid that things will not be done well, and like my predecessor, I will either be dismissed from office or beheaded." ”

Su Sanniang stood up suddenly, "Your Highness, the Celestial Empire emphasizes the equality of the world, and the wealthy families should still be eradicated." If they are not destroyed, where will the land of the people come from? Where did the silver salary come from in the Tianjing Sacred Treasury? ”

"Makes sense." Lin Haifeng nodded and looked at her with a smile, "This king wants to ask you a question, do you know where the money of those big families is buried?" ”

Su Sanniang opened her mouth a few times and sat down again.

"It seems that you don't know," Lin Haifeng shook his head as if regretful, "You said it would be nice if you knew." Tonight, the king will lead his soldiers and horses with you to kill them all, not only with the silver, but also with pleasure. Well, it's not enough to kill a few people, if you want to kill them, you have to leave no chickens and dogs, so as not to leave one and a half of them, and you will always want to seek revenge on us in the future. ”

"That's not what people say." Su Sanniang lowered her head and muttered.

Lin Haifeng stood up, picked up the teacup again and put it in her hand, "Sanniang, I know that if you hadn't been killed by a local tyrant because of your husband, your daughter's family would not have raised the banner to rebel." Of course, there is no fate for the two of us to sit here and talk today. You may become a very ordinary good wife and mother, enjoying family fun with your family. Therefore, I understand your bitter hatred for the wealthy gentry. However, there are many things that need to be recalled. ”

He paced back to his chair and sat down, "Let's use an analogy." Your ancestors have relied on their own savings for generations, and they have some money and food, and they have some fields. But you have not taken anybody. Then I, King An, came to you, Sanniang, I heard that your family is a big family, I'm sorry, there is a shortage of money in this king's army, take the money. Would you like? ”

Su Sanniang raised her head and looked at King An.

"Normally, you don't want to." Lin Haifeng clapped his hands, "Okay, since you don't want to, this king has soldiers, grab you and talk about it, and ask your family to take the silver to ransom people." Hehe, think about it, what is this? Isn't this king a bandit that the people often say? Can you not scold me? The news spread, and the next place before the king arrived, and all the money was gone. What is the use of this king guarding a large empty city? If that's the case, it's better to have a good time, every time we arrive in a city, we will raze the city, and we don't have to worry about defending it, and the demons don't need to attack, and everyone will be clean. ”
