Monk Greenqin was silent for a while and sighed: "Today's countermeasures we can only take one step at a time, what countermeasures and strategies are nonsense, everything is just a false phantom in front of the cannon, if you haven't fought with Lin Rei's army, you will never know what terror is, it is a kind of fear that makes your bones numb, it is equivalent to fighting a battle that you know will be defeated and die, maybe someone will become a warrior, but the vast majority of people will collapse." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Yixin hesitated for a moment and said, "Then we will watch the country passed down by our ancestors disappear like this?" Just watch Lin Haijiang and other chaotic ministers and thieves make waves? ”

Monk Lingqin slowly closed his eyes and said, "Maybe that's it!" How can the number of qi be something that we have the power to turn the tide? ”

Soon, the carriage returned to its previous calm, and only the clatter and clatter of the horses' hooves on the bluestone slabs could be heard far away.

On June 23, 1863, all the attacking corps at the front of the empire came with good news, Jinan has been under the siege of our two main corps, and the two artillery brigades to which the corps belongs have carried out many rounds of artillery bombardment of Jinan, and now the Qing court trusts Guo Yaozu, the governor of Shandong, to ask for negotiations, and Zhengzhou has also been attacked by our vanguard team, and the Qing army seems to have plans to abandon Zhengzhou?

Lin Haijiang looked at the small flags that were planted on the map, and knew that almost all the troops were in motion at this moment, such as the Imperial Head of State Division assigned to the First Army Corps, and its troops had arrived in Dezhou, once the defenders of Jinan surrendered or Jinan was conquered north, the Imperial Head of State Division would immediately attack and advance towards Cangzhou.

The Fifth Brigade and the Sixth Brigade under the First Column of the Production and Construction Corps have respectively set up forward bases in Qingdao Port and Weihai Port, from which the Navy will supply the advancing corps, and the main fleet of the Imperial Navy will cover the landing of the marines from the Jinshan Liaodong Peninsula in the third stage after shelling Dagukou to prepare for the second stage of landing.

It can be said that it was the all-out attack launched by Lin Haijiang that made the Qing court unable to muster the courage to fight a thorough battle with it, and completely overwhelmed the enemy with a preemptive momentum, so that the enemy was afraid, so what Yixin and Seng Lingqin discussed in the Qing court was not how to meet and deal with it, but how to quickly stay away from the fierce enemy.

For the internal friction that does not have much meaning, Lin Haijiang is actually difficult to convince himself to muster up his spirit, after all, the two warring sides have fallen are Chinese people, and the current main force of the Qing army has long since changed from the Eight Banners of Mongolia to the new army of the Han army, even the so-called forbidden army in the Han army soldiers also accounted for as many as seven or eighty, so Lin Haijiang used the so-called decisive battle like Mount Tai pressed the top of the general, first destroyed the will of the Qing court decision-makers.

On August 3, 1863, the report of the Fifth and Sixth Army Corps of the Chinese Imperial Army to conquer Xi'an was sent to Lin Haijiang's hands after several twists and turns, Jinan and Zhengzhou were all recovered, the main force of the Third Army took Shijiazhuang directly, the main force of the Fourth Army attacked Taiyuan, the First Army and the Second Army fought together, and the Imperial Head of State Division had already conquered Cangzhou, waiting for the main force of the Army to go north!

The four brigades of the Imperial Marine Corps had already landed at the mouth of Weidagu in Tianjin, and the follow-up troops were coming in a steady stream, and Lin Haijiang couldn't help but feel a trace of excitement in his heart when he looked at the enemy situation that was updated almost every seven or eight days in the command center of the Supreme Command in Nanjing! It can be said that the progress of the overall campaign was smoother than Lin Haijiang's imagination, and the imperial army almost fell to the wind everywhere it went, and the officers and soldiers of the garrison regiments abandoned by the Qing court had no intention of being loyal and filial sons of the Qing Dynasty.

A large amount of ammunition that was originally used in the campaign has now become a problem for the production and construction corps, because the forward shipment of more construction materials has clashed with the forward transportation of ammunition.

The logistics department of the rear command was worried that there would be problems with the supply of ammunition in the event of a fierce battle at the front, so it vetoed the requirements of the production and construction corps, and the production and construction corps had no choice but to increase investment in transportation capacity, and built more military stations and supply centers along the way, and the materials and ammunition were transported in sections, so that the pressure on the overall transportation was sharply reduced, and now the pressure of the war in the front actually exceeded the task of restoring social order in the recovery area. This was something Lin Haijiang did not expect at the beginning.

What made Lin Haijiang happiest was that Wanxin actually stopped her business in Guangdong and came to Nanjing to visit her, saying that since the White Lotus Sect had been dispersed, she didn't need to continue to operate, so she scattered all her savings for many years to the sisters of the Qinglou, Wanxin directly asked Yang Zhiwei, a professional in the Imperial Administrative Office in Guangzhou, to report to Lin Haijiang with a telegram, she was now penniless, and she was ready to come to Lin Haijiang, asking Lin Haijiang to take care of her three meals and shelter.

For this obvious hint, Lin Haijiang is not a fool, he naturally understands that at present, the imperial army is swept by the remnants of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the front-line battle is going smoothly, Lin Haijiang is naturally in a good mood, especially in this campaign, the Imperial General Staff, the War Department, the Admiralty, the Intelligence Headquarters and many other departments work together, after the training of the previous battles, the functional departments of the empire's military institutions tend to be efficient and cooperative, so as the head of state, Lin Haijiang has completely become an idler who reads the battle report every day, Just as Lin Haijiang picked up Wanxin, he immediately received several telegrams that Jiang Rong'er, Shen Yilan, Zijuan, and Lily had already set off for Nanjing, which made Lin Haijiang, who originally wanted to spend a few days with Wanxin, feeling caught off guard, or like he was about to eat secretly and was caught.

Lin Haijiang was a little depressed, if you don't come any of them, or you will come all of them? Fu Shanxiang, the only one who came, was busier than himself all day, just when Lin Haijiang was thinking about how to arrange his red faces, there was bad news from the First Mountain Infantry Regiment on the Sichuan side, that is, after clearing the remnants of the Qing court, the Imperial Marines and Mountain Infantry Units had several large-scale conflicts with local forces such as the Pao Gehui in Sichuan, and the Pao Gehui had recently intensified the crackdown, and the Pao Gehui basically went underground, constantly attacking the Imperial Patrol, docks, material storage centers, military stations, etc., Gao Qi said that the strength of the two mountain infantry corps and the two marine brigades was facing a shortage of troops in the clean-up process, and that the people in many areas around the towns were also bandits and civilians, and that the clean-up work was very difficult to carry out.

Gauge asked the High Command to give policy instructions on whether the troops could be allowed to carry out a system of unaccountable purge of the troops? He requested the Supreme Command to send two or three additional corps into Sichuan and increase the input of troops to carry out a comprehensive clean-up.

Lin Haijiang brought Gao Qi's telegram back to the room, Wanxin was washing the tea set in the room, because Lin Haijiang likes to drink tea very much, so Wanxin deliberately brought a set of tea sets, looking at Wanxin, who was wearing a multi-light gauze long skirt and curvy there, turning her jade wrist to examine every tea set, Lin Haijiang's heart seemed to have been hit hard.

Wanxin saw Lin Haijiang with a stunned expression and said, "The weather is a little hot, so I'm wearing less?" What if it's inconvenient for me to wear it back? ”

"Huh? No, no, it's eye-catching! After Lin Haijiang finished speaking, he realized that he had gone wrong, so he simply said: "I was supposed to accompany you for a few days, but there was a big problem in Sichuan, if it is not dealt with in time, it is likely to cause a conflict between the imperial team and the local forces, for these local forces, the empire has always been dominated by the use of appeasement, once a large-scale bloody conflict breaks out, then the social order of Sichuan, the country of abundance, will not be stable for a few years."

Wan Xin frowned slightly and said: "Sichuan has the ability to compete with the imperial team, I am afraid that it is the Pao Brothers, they are the people who hide in the market, and they are bandits when they enter the mountains and forests, and this Robe Brothers' ability is the secret society organization that appeared in Sichuan during the Kangxi period, and it is the product of the combination of the local nomad gang in Sichuan and the Heaven and Earth Society introduced from the coast. It was an armed gang formed mainly by the nomads who failed to settle down and reclaim land among the immigrants who entered Sichuan in the early years of the Qing court, and had a great influence by the early years of Qianlong at the latest. I remember that in the eighth year of Qianlong, Brother Pao would raise an incident in Sichuan, and Sichuan Governor Ji Shan said that in Sichuan Province for several years, there were unemployed people from Huguang, Jiangxi, Shaanxi, Guangdong and other provinces. ”

Lin Haijiang looked at Wanxin in surprise and grabbed her hand and said: "Great, I am lacking such a person who knows the situation in Sichuan, go quickly, I will find Li Anmin and Wang Faren, you can introduce to all of us what you know!" Saying that, Lin Haijiang pulled Wanxin and walked out, Wanxin was anxious to pull it, but she didn't expect the skirt under her to be stepped on by Lin Haijiang, the two fell together, and Lin Haijiang threw Wanxin down solidly.

Wanxin's cheeks flushed slightly and said, "What are you anxious about?" I—I haven't changed my clothes yet! ”

Lin Haijiang suddenly felt a little uncontrollable at first glance, and then Lin Haijiang suddenly remembered that he was still a man with strong physiological needs! Lin Haijiang hugged Wanxin's willow waist, forcefully parted the hem of the skirt, held Wanxin's hand with both hands and violently held her lips, quickly sucked Wanxin's slippery little tongue, and quickly attacked the city with one hand, Wanxin, who was originally ready to resist, seemed to have suddenly lost her strength, and hugged Lin Haijiang with a confused look and said softly: "Love me!" I'm yours! ”

Lin Haijiang's hand slowly went up along Wanxin's oily thigh, and he could clearly feel Wanxin's body trembling slightly, and bursts of hot air sprayed on his ears.

Lin Haijiang suddenly felt like a stimulant, and the two of them rolled on the carpet, and Lin Haijiang, who stood up and rode the horse, seemed to feel a trace of hindrance? Wanxin hugged Lin Haijiang tightly and moaned softly in his ear.

After a cloud and rain, Lin Haijiang looked at the bloodstains falling on Wanxin's white skirt in a daze, he never expected that such a charming royal sister would still be a virgin? Seriously, he really picked up the baby, originally Lin Haijiang let Wanxin, who had just broken down, rest for one more day, but Wanxin told him with a smile, isn't this our family's own business? And she was born in martial arts, so it's not a big problem.

Lin Haijiang felt very guilty, if he knew that Wanxin was still a virgin, he would not act so rashly if he said anything, at least after the confirmed ceremony, he would justifiably give Wanxin a name, maybe this title is not very important to Lin Haijiang, but Lin Haijiang believes that this title is extremely important to Wanxin.

So Lin Haijiang told Wanxin his thoughts, and tears suddenly appeared in the corners of Wanxin's eyes, this was the first time Lin Haijiang saw Wanxin crying.

In the war room of the Supreme Command, Wang Faren and Li Anmin were waiting for Lin Haijiang's arrival early, and they were surprised by the unexpected appearance of Wanxin!

Lin Haijiang smiled slightly: "Minister Wang Faren has some information about the Pao Brothers' Society, but it is not specific, Madame Wanxin knows some, so I hope you can exchange the information and the situation you know, and then the intelligence headquarters will summarize and come up with a specific and effective method, I don't want to see the country of abundance shed blood." ”

Wang Faren and Li Anmin heard that Lin Haijiang had added two ladies in front of Wanxin's name, so they naturally understood the meaning, and immediately got up and saluted and said hello, which made Wanxin suddenly a little red-faced, and after a while, Wanxin introduced: "In fact, Brother Pao will also have a lot of things to do with my White Lotus Sect, and the Sichuan people have always been united and difficult to divide in the face of foreign forces, with the failure of the White Lotus Sect's many uprisings, the Purple was suppressed by the Qing court in all parts of Sichuan, although it was suppressed, but it is still active in various places, In order to strengthen their internal organizational ties and improve their ability to survive, develop and confront the government, they gradually absorbed a large number of the organizational forms and contact methods of the Tiandihui that had already been spread into Sichuan, or directly integrated with the Tiandihui disciples, and developed into a gang organization in the Daoguang period. ”

Wanxin paused and continued: "Unlike the White Lotus Sect, the robe brother will burn incense every time, which is basically the name of the famous hall of Lishan, with the names of the Lotus Mountain Fugui Hall and the Shunde Hall of Emei Mountain. Eight cards per hall, with 1235 for the upper four cards, 6890 for the next four cards, to four or seven words for the taboo, so do not stand four, seven this card. Generally, the number of the presiding counsellor is the second master of the sage, and the number of the person who collects the money is the third master of the house, and there are five masters of the red flag who are in charge of sending people to send people, and the five masters of the black flag are in charge of swords and canes to kill, and the robbers who gather the party are called floating, and they are also called the team, the number of people is different, and the organization is very tight, and the internal is the big precept 9981, and the small precept 888. ”

Lin Haijiang nodded after hearing Wanxin's words and said to Wang Faren: "Gao Qi's side still wants to suppress it, if the foundation of the Pao Brother Guild is so deep, how does he Gao Qi want to suppress it?" Kill them all? ”

Wang Faren interjected on the side: "According to the intelligence of our intelligence headquarters, Brother Pao's organization started from the opening of the mountain hall, and the opening of the mountain hall has a grand ceremony, to worship the holy statue of Guan Gong and worship the blood of the handle!" There are a lot of cumbersome rules, which makes it difficult for our intelligence officers to insert them in the pause, and its early blood is to pierce the middle finger and drip blood into the wine, and later it is mostly replaced by killing roosters, the so-called worship is to tie the incense bundle into a handful, a total of three and a half, and everyone bows and swears in the incense hall. In the early days, the mountain hall was mostly opened in the mountain forest temple, and later it was held in the long street downtown area, the robe brother has the basic same discipline within the mountain hall, commonly known as the red ten that must be observed and the black ten that must be punished, there are eight inner halls, eight outer halls of the organization series and hierarchy, the members must also pay a certain mountain price depending on their financial resources, the whole Sichuan mountain hall gradually formed five high and low halls, that is, benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom, letter five classes, participate in the benevolence of the gentry for the most, the righteous number is mainly businessmen, and the rite number is more bandits, ruffians and soldiers, Zhizi is mostly poor peasants, handicraftsmen, boatmen, coachmen, the number of letters is not much, it is the lower nine streams, so there are Ren Zihao one gentleman and two grains, Yi Zi number buying and selling merchants, Li Zi Hao and stealing and robbing, Zhi Zi is full of gangs, Xin Zi number rubs his back and sells the proverb. ”

Wang Faren opened a file next to him, handed it to Lin Haijiang, Wanxin and Li Anmin respectively, and then said: "The development of reading power between the various public mouths of the Pao Brother Association is basically the development of reading power, but the various public mouths in the same area can unite to form a meeting and a joint meeting, during which the ability to send capable people to coordinate with each other, Brother Pao originally forbade several people to participate according to the rules of the Heaven and Earth Society, such as those who surrender the crippled, barbers, tailors, prostitutes, entertainers, witches, gods, thieves, etc., but now these restrictions have been broken, except for the actors, There are no longer strict restrictions, and Brother Pao originally had no female surname to participate, according to the information fed back by Gao Qi, not only did there be a female Brother Pao, but also the largest resistance force abducted the female helmsman of more than 20 people of my officer, a soldier, and Ye Hong. ”

Lin Haijiang hesitated for a moment and said: "In this case, if the empire wants to pacify the Sichuan Mansion, it must first rectify the local social order, and to rectify the social order, it must divide these robe brothers' organizations, support some of them, and then attack a part, and then eliminate the part that is not used by me, and divide until its organization is completely controlled and annexed by us!" ”

Wang Faren nodded and said, "We can understand the intention of the Führer, but we are afraid that this process will take a long time, lest it be effective in a period of time!" Because as a gang organization, Brother Pao advocates chivalry and mutual assistance, attaches importance to the concept of patriarchy, and takes Taoyuan Juyi, Wagang majesty, and Liangshan as examples, and calls each other brothers, and even has the slogan that everyone eats together when there is food, and everyone is responsible for the same problem. ”
