However, Zeng Bohan's words also inspired him that he could use the loud slogan of protecting the monarch and defending the country to improve the combat effectiveness of the Huai Army in many ways in the future, and once the Huai Army really became a unique force in the world, no one would dare to say such bastard words as revocation!

"After the bandits were peaceful, I hoped that the country would rise immediately, but who knew that the chaos would rise again; After the chaos was settled, it was possible to take a surprise, but unexpectedly, the Tianjin case happened again. In handling the Tianjin case, I had exhausted my nerves and knew that I could no longer do anything, and the government and the opposition had great differences on the handling of the Tianjin case, and it was difficult for a while to hope that the gap would be bridged. If it weren't for Lin Kunyu taking the opportunity of the Franco-General war to secretly deal with it and help me, the situation would have been unimaginable. Zeng Bohan remembered the days and nights of the "Tianjin Teaching Plan" and sighed.

"Lin Kunyu can actually say that the master of the law will go to Chief Meng, arrest Feng Daye and return to China to punish the crime, so that public opinion will be eased and the overall situation will be settled. It's a rare talent. Li Shaoquan said.

"It would be nice if he was here today......" Zeng Bohan sighed, "but I'm afraid I won't be able to survive him coming back......"

"Don't say that," Li Shaoquan's heart was sour, but he still comforted Zeng Bohan and said, "Fang Jinguo is the first decision, foreign affairs are flourishing, and the teacher can see the arrival of the world of Zhongxing......"

"When ZTE will come, it is difficult to predict from the current situation. However, I am born to be different from the vulgar, because I take the rise and fall of the world as my own responsibility, advance in the face of difficulties, and even know that it cannot be done and force it. For decades, I know that it is difficult to do things, in the people's hearts are not right, the customs are not thick, and the righteous people's hearts are thick customs, and the beginning of the truth depends on one or two people to be silently transported in the depths of the abyss, and their descendants are also harmonious, and the sky is also responding. Zhang Tong and I belong to these two people. At the same time, I also vigorously promote talents, use them as seeds, and hope that they will blossom and bear fruit and achieve a situation of harmony in the world. It's a pity that this matter was not successful, and then Zhang Tong must always be conscious, in the position of being an example in the world, and also to cultivate more talents, invoking good officials, to the time when the whole world comes to respond to peace, customs will naturally change, and the world of Zhongxing should come. This is the second sentence I want to say to Zhang Tong. ”

When it comes to talents, Li Shaoquan has always been the most obedient to Zeng Bohan's knowledge, so he took the opportunity to ask: "Teacher, students have limited experience, and they are often entangled in various affairs, so they have no time to study deeply, and they lack real insight into some important figures today. Teachers are known for their subtleties, can you give them a little evaluation so that students can know what to expect? ”

Zeng Bohan combed his long beard up and down, pondered for a long time, and then said slowly: "Yuedan characters are never easy, people in high positions can determine a person's life with one word, so we must be especially cautious about this kind of words." That's why I've never been easy to talk about people. Today's meeting is extraordinary, and if you don't say some things again, I am afraid that you will never have a chance in the future. However, I'm just talking about it casually, you just have to remember it in your heart, and you don't have to use it as a judgment, let alone talk about it to others. ”

"Remember, students." Li Shaoquan said.

"Who does Zhang Tong want to know?" Zeng Bohan took a sip of tea and asked.

"What does the teacher think, how is Zuo Xiangnong?" Li Shaoquan thought for a while and asked.

"Zuo Xiangnong is a hard-working and resourceful, talented, quite strategic, and a good hand at fighting with soldiers; Treat people upright, and it is also a good friend and capable officer. But he is flattering, conceited, and intolerant of others, and he often suffers from these problems, and he himself does not understand. After the recovery of Jinling, he did not come with me, and future generations may think that we are at the end of the chastity. However, I always thought that he was a rare general since the founding of the country. ”

Li Shaoquan said: "The student heard Yang Changjun say that as long as Zhejiang's salary is a few days late, Zuo Xiangnong will quickly send a letter urging him, regardless of whether it is indiscriminate, and he will severely reprimand: Who gave you your official? If you miss my big thing, I will immediately get rid of your governor! ”

"This is Zuo Xiangnong!" Zeng Bohan said with a smile, "Only he can say this kind of thing." Zuo Xiangnong's scolding kung fu can be said to be the pinnacle, and the words are beyond the reach of officials. The first is to hit the nail on the head and be ruthless, and the second is to be unforgiving and chatter. In the seventh year of Xianfeng, I left the camp because of my father's funeral, and he slandered him in Luo Wenzhong's curtain, and public opinion in Shilin was in an uproar for a while. I have been honest and confident in my life, but it is a crime for me to deceive the king, and to this day, this heart is still unavoidable. ”

"Have you ever thought about why the Zuo clan is like this?" Li Shaoquan said.

"Say it." Zeng Bohan smiled.

"Both Shengyu and He Shengliang?" Li Shaoquan said, "If you are born left, how can you be born?" ”

Li Shaoquan pointed out that the reason why Zuo Jigao is like this is because of the "Yuliang complex" that has entangled his life.

Zuo Jigao pretended to be Zhuge in his life. "Every time I write a book with a friend, I sign Lao Liang and compare myself with Wuhou. And it is said that today is bright or better than ancient Liang. Therefore, he has never expressed his gratitude to Zeng Bohan for bringing him, and every time he mentions Zeng, there will always be an unspeakable resentment in his heart. There is only one reason, that is, Zeng Bohan occupies the "protagonist" position that should belong to him on the stage. Zeng Bohan was the culprit who directly prevented him from becoming "Jinliang". pacified the Shengping Heavenly Kingdom as the coach, this is where Zeng Bohan is sorry for his Zuo Jigao.

Zuo Jigao once prefaced a painting called "Old Picture of Tongguangan". Tongguan is the place where Zeng Bohan threw himself into the Xiangjiang River after the defeat of Jinggang, and the old picture of Tongguan is to paint Zeng Bohan's suicide that year. There is such a sentence in Zuo Jigao's preface: "Gong (Zeng Bohan) did not die in Tongguan, fortunately." That is, he died in the copper official, and it is said that he will level the southeast, and he will let the nest be resigned, so there is no hope for the successor? Not really. ”

The meaning of this sentence is that Zeng Bohan did not die when he threw himself into the water, of course, it is a blessing for the world. But if he is dead, the world will not be saved, and it is not like that.

This sentence can be said to reveal the secret of Zuo Jigao's heart. Zuo Jigao really wanted Zeng to die at that time, so he should be the one who "leveled the southeast and punished the nest". He believes that if this big drama is directed by him, it will definitely be much more exciting than Zeng Bohan's director.

I think that at the beginning, the idea of creating the Hunan Army was jointly proposed by Zeng Bohan and him. Many of Zeng Bohan's most powerful assistants and generals were first discovered and recommended to Zeng Bohan by his Zuo Jigao. Zeng Bohan built the Hunan army and led the troops to fight, how much wisdom did he contribute to Zuo Jigao? In terms of major strategic principles, how many times have the results proved that he Zuo Jigao was more clever than Zeng Bohan?

However, it is useless to say any of this. Looking back on the past and the present, everything is still based on the word "family name" (the reason why Zuo Jigao was so angry after learning that Lin Yizhe was given the birth of a jinshi is also for this). Although Zeng Bohan was mediocre, he occupied a favorable position early because of his good name. He Zuo Jigao had made all the preparations for "One Hand Optimism" early, but because he had no name, he couldn't fully display it. Although he was finally used by the emperor, it was as "too late", he got up too late, and it was too late to catch up with Zeng Bohan. missed this opportunity, and he Zuo Jigao had no hope of becoming the number one in the world in this life.
