Chapter 200: To Each His Heart
Monk Lingqin immediately waved his hand and said, "Get up and talk, what are you doing on your knees?" You two are my people, you can feel free to be here in the future, I grew up in the Mongolian steppe, and I don't have as many stinky problems as Han officials, and I am rotten and exquisite! What else can they do if they are capable? Do you want to be a prince? The next generation will be born as a Manchurian Mongol! ”
Tulahe and Meng Ji scolded secretly in their hearts, and said in their hearts, if you don't speak up for such a big prince as Seng Gelinqin, where do we dare to get up? This head was already dangerous, this is the blood capital, Tulahe and Meng Ji at this moment to put their hearts back into their stomachs slightly, for this golden Buddha they found a reason to kill more than 70 people, never expected that the bitter master was not dead, found the old friend Zuo Governor Yu Shi Yan Gang, these days in the imperial court in the supervision of the Yuan and the Yu Shi Tai is like snowflakes, impeachment of them to cooperate with the Huai Zi battalion to fight unfavorably, save strength to avoid the enemy like a tiger and so on.
Monk Greenqin looked at the two people who were still a little nervous and said: "The queen mother of the two palaces in the palace likes some gadgets in Jiangnan very much, but this king is busy with military affairs and has no time to take care of it!" ”
As soon as Tulahe and Meng Ji heard what Seng Lingqin said, they knew that this old bastard had a big appetite, anyway, the two of them were also out of the way, they didn't care about this or that, as long as they kept their official positions, they would naturally have money and money, and if they didn't take a step back, they would also save their lives.
Tulahe glanced at Meng Ji and then cautiously said to the monk Greenqin: "Lord, I am afraid that the things below are vulgar and the queen mother of the two palaces is difficult to see, and we are coarse people, why don't we collect it first, and then send it to you, the prince, bother you to give a long look, and it is feasible to check it?" ”
Monk Grinqin glanced at Tulahe with satisfaction and said: "It's said that Tulah can't even count the five numbers, I think it's pure nonsense, and you're not a bastard!" I understand it! Then this king has to work hard for the queen mother of the two palaces! ”
Monk Greenqin took a sip and then said: "The affairs of the court are naturally handled by this king, saying that he is a thief is a thief, is it possible that someone still wants to overturn the case for the thief?" You can do things boldly with confidence, and you must be worried about the court, being a general has indeed wronged you, and after this release of troops, I will give you some errands. ”
"Thank you for your love!" Tulahe and Meng Ji hurriedly played a thousand, and the two saw that Monk Greenqin closed his eyes and calmed down, so he lowered his horseshoe sleeves, retreated and withdrew from the big tent, and quietly expressed his heart to Monk Greenqin's guards outside, for Monk Greenqin's guards are all third-class shrimps in the interior, and they are all Imperial City Roots who have seen the world, and the original prepared fifty taels of silver tickets did not dare to take out, after all, the king of Hades said that the little ghost is difficult.
Tulach and Meng Ji could only endure the pain and scatter the five hundred taels of silver tickets like pieces of paper, just as the so-called picture is a wealth and happiness.
But after a while, a guard entered the big tent and gave Monk Greenqin a thousand respects and said: "Lord Wang, those two boys are very arrogant, and give the brothers below a ticket for Fu Ruixiang, who is five hundred taels!" ”
Monk Lingqin opened his eyes slightly and said, "Haifeng, don't you understand this?" They are giving you the face of the third-class shrimp, they are sensible people, you go and tell Zhang Wentao, record the files for the two people, and give priority to the two of them if there is a fat shortage, I want to let the people below see what they know, how about following my monk Greenqin! ”
The guards were just about to turn around and leave, when Seng Greenqin suddenly sat up and said: "In addition, I showed me every move on Zeng Guofan's side, especially that Zuo Zongtang, with an evil face, this king is awkward when he looks at it, as long as we keep an eye on Zeng Guofan, even if they level the bandits and destroy Lin Wei's nest, our credit is greater than theirs, understand?" ”
Haifeng was slightly stunned, his expression suddenly became serious, and he whispered: "Lord Wang, is it possible that the court wants to ......."
Monk Greenqin's eyes glared and said: "Don't speculate wildly, your uncle wants me to take you out, I will temper you, we Mongolians grew up on horseback, what wind and rain haven't you seen?" But you must be careful when you speak, and you must be careful, and woe will come out of your mouth! Haifeng, you have to remember the meaning of your Han name, didn't Lin Yi also be the commander of the Nanyang Navy in the imperial court before? I'm afraid no one in the court can believe it now, maybe this king is no exception, otherwise how could this king go all the way and go all the way to the rampant and tyrannical! ”
Haifeng was suddenly extremely surprised: "The prince is tall! That's high! ”
Monk Greenqin hummed proudly about picking up the pulley, and didn't hum a few words and felt that it was wrong, so he waved his hand to Haifeng and said: "Use more snacks on errands, otherwise I want to promote you and consider some of the people below, clear?" The key is to let others have nothing to say, the bad thing in our Daqing is that there are too many people who say it, and there are too few people to do it! ”
And the governor of the two lakes in Wuhan City, Guan Wen, is restless at the moment, and the two Qincha officials outside the city who ask for food and money, one is Zeng Guofan, the governor of Beiyang, the minister of Beiyang who is the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, and the other is the monk prince of the Qing Dynasty, Monk Greenqin!
If it weren't for Lin Yi's desperate defense of Changsha and blocking the offensive of Lin Yi's bandit army, I'm afraid that even Wuhan City would have been surrendered now, if Wuhan was lost, the official document was very clear, and even the queen mother of the two palaces, who did not hesitate to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, would not show mercy to her subordinates at such a young age.
At present, the whole line is collapsing, the Qing Dynasty's army against the enemy only has Zeng Guofan's Beiyang and Seng Lingqin's Manchu and Mongolian army, the imperial court is looking for chickens that can be killed to monkeys, and the official text naturally does not want to be a chicken, and the head of Fan Shuli, the governor of Liangjiang, and Zeng Qinghou, the governor of Liangjiang, have already given the official text a wake-up call.
But at the moment, there is really no way to do the official text, although the two lakes are the land of fish and rice, but the bandits have been rampant, and the practice of courage and fierceness is extremely fierce, this is the base camp of the Hunan army, the emperor Xianfeng of the former dynasty once personally decreed that the Hunan army is the country, loyal and brave, and there is no food to continue, and the township should be exempted from money and grain!
The Hunan army has no food and no pay to fight the war, and it all relies on plunder, and the family and relatives in Hunan do not pay food, which is the practice of the two lakes, and the official documents naturally cannot be collected, if his supervision standard is pulled out, I am afraid that the battle will not be won, and even the clothes will have to be stripped of people.
The official text finally decided to sell the property and also have to supply the two ways to quell the rebellion army, said that after being turned over by the imperial history, he also has something to say, the official document will be through the provincial officials to the governor of Wuhan Yamen, move it with affection to know the reason, in the use of the Qin cha and their own gold medal to scare the arrow, the money is naturally there, the official high donate more, the official small donate less, the fat shortage takes more, the thin but take less, the standard of the official document is fair, the current situation in the two lakes is erosive, and naturally the officials below are not spared, so the money naturally has, and then the trouble comes!
The official document knows that the two-way army outside the city has 100,000 people all the way, which is the real Beiyang New Army, and all the way is the 300,000 army of Prince Seng Greenqin, which is naturally self-evident, how to give this food? How to supply has become the most tricky thing, and you can't help but give, if the real number is given to the monk Lingqin, will Zeng Guofan have an opinion? If you don't give the real number to Monk Greenqin, where will you definitely not be fooled, these days Guanwen's hair has turned a lot whiter, and finally Guanwen decided to go to two places to explore the mouth and cry and cry poorly!
Outside Changsha City, Lin Haijiang looked at Wuhan on the map and frowned involuntarily, the current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has lost the most important mobile forces, except for several large support points in Banbi Mountain and Tianjing, all of them were captured by the Chinese Imperial Army or the Qing Army, the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is only a matter of time, for this Lin Haijiang is no longer particularly concerned, the Qing army is rushing to attack, but it has not even caught up with the leftovers, Lin Haijiang believes that at this moment, whether it is Zeng Guofan or Seng Lingqin, It's definitely a belly fire.
Zhang Zheng's First Army Corps of the Imperial Army has arrived at the Yueyang front line to build fortifications, and the first section of the Production and Construction Corps is laying railways, and in the direction of Yueyang, Lin Haijiang instructed the headquarters of the Production and Construction Corps to lay three tracks, especially the telegraph line should be opened as soon as possible, and there is no big move for the local Lin Haijiang, after the war, people are at ease, and major reforms and changes are not conducive to the stable rule of the empire over the newly occupied areas, which is after all domestic, not Southeast Asia or the Indochina Peninsula, and the massacre can play a deterrent role, But a rule that relies on death alone will not last.
Lin Haijiang looked at Yueyang, Jiujiang, Anqing, Wuhu, Changzhou, Shanghai, and Yangzhou on the map all under the control of the empire, but if these victories can be ensured and digested, it is another problem, the most lacking thing in the empire in front of him is talent, and the rapid expansion makes Lin Haijiang a little uncertain.
Although, this battle achieved the best results expected before, but Lin Haijiang also realized that the empire's mobile forces were all contained, and the empire's strategic reserves were also consumed, Lin Haijiang had realized that he had to stop large-scale military operations, otherwise it would not be a problem to be reckless, and the crazy attack regardless of the actual situation in front of him was opening the door to destruction, while his main opponent, the Beiyang New Army, was still a powerful fist!
What Lin Haijiang needs most now is time, to build up the administrative institutions at all levels in the newly liberated areas, and to train a large number of young cadres in the cadre training class in the imperial fortress with Nanyang Chinese youth as the main recruit, although these young cadres are enthusiastic and motivated, and loyal to the empire, but they lack the necessary experience, if the things in the classroom cannot be changed according to local conditions, it will be a big trouble, after all, local government affairs are different from military affairs.
In desperation, Lin Haijiang sent young political training cadres at the same time, and also began to set up a county-level public security garrison, which was different from the imperial army, reserve forces, and gendarmerie units, but a police force in the real sense.
At the local level, the prestigious gentry, merchants, and a proportion of the people at all levels were persuaded to participate in the joint participation of the people at the county level, and the political participants were obliged to help implement the construction of a new order in the empire, to promote the movement of a new life in the empire, and to enjoy the protection of the police force and a certain allowance for the political axe.
This can be said to be the first step of Lin Haijiang's implementation of open cooking politics, but all this is only limited to the level of the imperial county, and it is only a temporary trial policy, the main purpose of which is to stabilize the social order and public order in the recovered areas, clean up the Qing court and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of the sitting or underground forces, for the underground underworld forces that have endangered China for thousands of years, Lin Haijiang basically does not use the police force that has just been built, but dispatches military police to suppress them.
For the armed bandits entrenched in the mountains and forests, they surrendered within a time limit, and then completely exterminated, these practical measures have played a major role in stabilizing the social security and stability of the newly recovered areas, and how to effectively improve the lives of the people, Lin Haijiang has handed over to the young cadres, this will be a big wave of the sand under the capable and the mediocre, Lin Haijiang believes that many times talents are tempered.
However, what annoyed Lin Haijiang was that Zeng Guofan's Beiyang New Army and Seng Lingqin's army both stopped near Wuhan, and they had no intention of rescuing Changsha? Could it be that his strategic deployment was seen through by Zeng Guofan? Lin Haijiang was a little helpless, he didn't like an opponent who was as shrewd as a fox, he couldn't get the slightest skill, he could only rely on his strength to shake it, or he could win in a dangerous way like this bloody battle in Ningxiang, Lin Haijiang didn't like these two strategic methods.
Since his plan to encircle and send reinforcements has failed, Lin Haijiang can only focus on Changsha City, and taking away this nail embedded in his hinterland has become another big meal after the war, how to deal with Lin Yi in Changsha? Lin Haijiang handed over this task to Wang Faren and asked Wang Faren to send secret intelligence personnel to talk with Lin Yi, because Lin Haijiang remembered that Wang Faren immediately activated the intelligence network in Yanjing City after the attack on Changsha was blocked, and prepared to kidnap Lin Yi's family from Yanjing, but Lin Haijiang did not know how this operation was going?
Lin Haijiang did not believe that the destruction of Chen Yucheng's troops did not have any shock to the Qing army in Changsha, and the captured Taiping army was not slaughtered and abused, but the Qing court's reinforcements were stagnant, Lin Haijiang believed that there would definitely be wavering elements in the Qing army.
However, before that, Lin Haijiang ordered the artillery to fire a large number of training shells with propaganda leaflets into the city, and then calculated the firing scale of the burning bombs from the impact points of the training shells.
For the training bombs that fell into the governor's yamen from time to time, Lin Yi was frightened, in the morning, an unlucky Qian Zong was smashed to death in front of Lin Yi by this non-explosive thing, blood and brains splashed Lin Yi's body, and now the whole city is desperately trying to collect the leaflets of the Lin rebel bandit army, and the news he has been controlling before is spreading rapidly in the city like wings, whether it is Manchu, Mongolian or Han, it seems that people are panicked.
Lin Yi, who had just left the yamen and was about to inspect the city defense, suddenly heard a sharp whistling sound in the air? Lin Yi immediately rode his horse and galloped wildly, Lin Yi was indignant at the shameless behavior of correcting the landing point of the dumb bombs trained by Lin Yi and the bandits, thinking that it was not Lao Tzu's fate to inspect the city defense, and this round of dozens of shells fell into it, and it was not dangerous?
But the muffled explosion of the shells, the rising fires and the smoke made Lin Yi slightly stunned? What kind of cannon fire is this?
Lin Yi was stunned, a wave of heat rushed towards him, Lin Yi's horse suddenly startled, and lifted Lin Yi off the horse, several people who were covered in fire rushed out of the door screaming, several people who were at a loss outside the door collided together, and a thousand general managers who were ordered to fight the fire also ignited flames?
The white flame seemed to be contagious, tumbling the howl of the thousand total burning, and the wall he touched was also burning? At this moment, Lin Yi felt that he must have gone crazy, what kind of powerful weapons were there in the world? Or is it sorcery? Otherwise, how could Lin Haijiang seal off a place in a few years, and now he has the heart to be an emperor again? It must be similar to the Yellow Turban Army in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, and there must be spells and ghosts to help, otherwise how could the masonry walls be ablaze? The White Lotus Sect is fake, but will this Lin Haijiang be real? If you really have something to fight against it, the most important thing is whether it will harm your family?
Lin Yi fell into an incomparably huge panic, and Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, Taiqia and others who came to patrol the yamen one after another were also gray-faced, and they now finally knew why the bandit Chen Yucheng would be defeated in Ningxiang and the whole army was wiped out, and they were deeply impressed by Chen Yucheng and Zhou Fuming.
In Zhou Fuming's opinion, although Chen Yucheng can not be called a famous general, but he is definitely a difficult guy to deal with, the use of soldiers is weird, and if you are not careful, you will suffer a big loss, what impresses Zhou Fuming the most is Chen Yucheng's ability to control, Chen Yucheng can control his subordinates very well, and drive those fanatical bandits to attack Zhou Fuming's musket battalion regardless of life and death, and finally break through! As a result, Zhou Fuming's musket team is only more than 300 people so far, and it has never been able to recover.
But for the bombardment of the governor's yamen and this terrifying burning bomb, Zhou Fuming subconsciously touched a leaflet from the Chinese Empire Lin Wei in the cuff, this is not a witchcraft, but a new weapon of the Lin Wei bandit army, if they were not concerned about the people in the city, I am afraid that they would have used it on a large scale, Zhou Fuming does not think that Lin Haijiang is the master of eating fasting and reciting Buddha Pudu sentient beings, at least Lin Haijiang will not Pudu sentient beings, even if it will be overdue!
For example, tens of thousands of bandits were crossed outside the city of Ningxiang, and it is a challenge to be the enemy of such a person, and it is also a great sadness.
In the newly built governor's yamen, Lin Yi looked around the tent in the backyard of a private house a little helplessly, Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, and Taiqia sat in the room without saying a word, and after a while, Lin Yi said with a straight face: "Since there is no big problem, let's all do our own duties!" ”
