Lu Feiyan stroked his beard with satisfaction: "Haha! Although General Lu is a military attaché, he speaks with the temperament of our civilian officials. I like it very much. This Guilin city was brought down by your Guangdong military with great efforts, but it is not arrogant, which is rare. ”

Lu Zhuang said quietly: "Lord Lu, the lower officials are asking for something. ”

"Oh? You said. ”

Lu Zhuang pretended to be a little casual and a little nervous and said: "Because the number of brothers in our Guangdong army is small, and the combat is mainly based on firearms, the consumption is extremely huge. Within our Guangdong army, there is a saying that when a cannon goes off, there are ten thousand taels of gold. So, Lord Lu, see if you can ...... As for us, we will temporarily garrison Guangxi and exterminate the remaining Taiping army thieves in Liuzhou, Hechi, Nanning and other places. What about Guizhou and Yunnan, can Lord Lu lead the army to join Master Mu Zhang'a first? After the lower officials recover the entire territory of Guangxi, they will immediately move westward and do their best to help the adults quell the chaos! ”

After saying that, he looked at him with a flattering look. Showing a "you know" expression, he leaned over and used his body to block the vision of the person next to him and hit a silver ticket.

Lu Feiying coughed lightly, and quickly reached out to take it quietly. After a little glance, I saw that it was indeed a genuine big clear silver ticket, a full 50,000 taels!

With a twist of the wrist, it was tucked into the sleeve. Then a smile appeared on his face: "General Lu is very kind to this. The Guangdong garrison was no longer within the scope of the imperial court's mobilization to suppress thieves this time, but it wrote to ask for war on its own, and also prepared its own food and salary. His Majesty the Emperor was very moved, and he repeatedly praised you Guangdong in front of all the ministers at court meetings. I didn't expect that even military attachés and generals would be so good at behaping, haha, you should also be developed. The officer agreed to your request. However, ahem, don't go too far, hurry up and join us when it's almost time to continue to encircle and suppress the Taiping army thieves. When the three provinces are completely pacified, that is the real great achievement! Brother Lu has to distinguish the severity. ”

Well, in the end, they all directly called Lu Zhuang Brother Lu. But it's not wrong for him to call it that, after all, both of them are surnamed Lu. In the ancient era of attaching importance to clans, it was really a bit of kinship to check the genealogy a hundred years ago.

Lu Feiyi's thinking was very simple.

He felt that the young general actually wanted to feel that he had lost money by leading his troops out to fight this time—although he was loyal to His Majesty the Emperor and brought his own food and salary for Guangdong's reputation in the Chaotang. But the interests have been compromised.

So taking advantage of the fact that Guilin and the surrounding states and counties were recovered from the Taiping army thieves, it was just right to take advantage of the chaos to grab a handful! At the special moment of war, even the imperial army did not do anything less to forcibly levy the people's taxes and food. What's more, there are still a few counties in Guangxi that have not been defeated, and when the time comes, they will be fighting the Taiping army and thieves while looting the common people - and then the blame can be put on the Taiping army. This risk-free no-capital trading is done!

In this way, I gained fame again, and I didn't lose too much. As for the people...... Hehe, who cares? Anyway, it's not just our Qing Dynasty, all dynasties and dynasties think so. Like leeks, they grow after cutting a stubble.

"Young man, it's still too tender. was seen at a glance by the official, this little ninety-nine. Lu Feiying looked at Lu Zhuang, who was "pretending to be calm", and showed a cunning smile.

When he later learned Lu Zhuang's true intentions, he didn't know if he would regret that his intestines were blue?

So, five days after occupying the city of Guilin. After the repair, Lu Feijin left with the remaining 50,000 soldiers under his command and left the camp, and went to join Mu Zhang'a in the direction of Guizhou. left Guilin, or the whole of Guangxi, to Lu Zhuang......

The gate of Guilin.

Looking at the back of the departing Qing soldiers like a tide, Lu Shou, a distant nephew who served as the captain of Lu Zhuang's personal soldiers, stood next to him, and a smug sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "My lord, Lu Feijin has already left." The whole of Guangxi is already our Dragon God Sect's! ”

Lu Zhuang nodded, and finally couldn't help laughing: "Yes." The whole of Guangxi is ours! Lord Ryujin's arrangement is about to come true. The real China is about to reappear in the world. The descendants of our dragons, and the true dragon gods, will surely lead our way! ”

"Lu Shou, immediately send someone back to Guangzhou to report the current situation to Lord Longshen and the rest of the high-level, and they will order the remaining 20,000 garrisons in Yunfu and Maoming to continue to increase their troops into Guangxi. At the same time, according to the plan, he sent people to inform the Qian Shen, who was in charge of the armies in Heyuan and Meizhou, to attack Jiangxi. We will allocate a part of our forces to continue to cooperate with the reinforcements and recover Guangxi from the remnants of the Taiping army. The other part of the main force was personally led by me and attacked Hunan together with Lord Ding in Shaoguan! Hehe, I really want to know, what kind of expression Lu Feiying, the governor of Hunan, would have if he knew the truth? ”

"Your Excellency is wise! But I heard that the supreme dragon god once promised that if he could stabilize the situation in Guangxi in one fell swoop and take Hunan, he would give the lord a governor. ”

Lu Zhuang was also in a very good mood, slapped himself on the head of the captain of the same clan, and scolded with a smile: "This battle hasn't started yet, so you want to take advantage of it?" We are fighting for the rejuvenation of China and the rise of China, and glory and wealth are just a matter of convenience. Also, in our case, it's not called the governor. It's called the governor, you know? ”

January 1, 1844. It's a historic day!

On this day, the Dragon God Sect, a folk sect in Guangdong that had always been docile and honest in the eyes of the Manchu Qing court and had no harm, suddenly tore off its disguise and revealed its true face!

It's like a dragon that has shrunk its body and hid under the skin of a sheep, finally burrowing out and soaring into the sky! It let out a roar of rage, tearing apart everything that stood in its way......

On this day, the 20,000 reinforcements that first entered Guangxi from Guangdong and part of the original forces under Lu Zhuang almost recovered the entire Guangxi in a devastating way. The power of the Taiping army was reduced to Yunnan.

If this was only a matter of confusion and uneasiness to the Manchus - why the transfer of the Cantonese army was completely undecided by the imperial court, then what happened next made the entire Manchu ruling class terrified!

Also from January 1, 1844, the Guangdong army originally stationed in Guilin suddenly all pulled out their camps and went north, and together with Ding Man, the general soldier of Shaoguan who acted without the imperial court's order, suddenly launched a frantic attack on Hunan without warning!!
