Zhang Zheng naturally understood the meaning of Gao Qi's words, and the Chinese Empire was now roughly divided into two major systems, land and sea, in addition to the troops directly under the High Command, the Military Justice Department of the Military Police, the Intelligence Department, and so on.

Within the specific system, there are the so-called veteran faction and the study abroad faction, and now there are more iron-blooded factions from the emperor [***] school, and there is no action between the three factions, but in private they are all more energetic, Lin Haijiang is discerning, so no one dares to make a fuss about official affairs, it seems that it is still calm, but in private, there are naturally fewer small actions, and they don't dare to dismantle the stage and desperately help each other, and everyone picks up firewood and the flame is high!

Gao Qi and Zhang Zheng are the same origins, the two people who walked the closest, now Zhang Zheng has hit a hard nail under Changsha City, Gao Qi naturally can't stand by and watch, even if he is in danger of being punished by Lin Haijiang, he must help Zhang Zheng pass the test beautifully, capture Changsha City, and Yao Bing Changjie!

In the governor's yamen in Changsha City, Lin Yi looked at Tuatu who was carrying a leg of mutton and frowned slightly, although his heart swelled with a trace of unhappiness, but this unhappiness also disappeared immediately, after all, this Tuatu has always performed well, in addition to being rude, but he still knows the importance of the overall situation, and his 50,000 taels are not in vain, the most important thing is the hint he gave Tuatu, and the monk's door sticker is also the reason why Tuatu has scruples, in the final analysis, Tuatu is not a complete bastard, In addition to being lustful, the shortcomings are also half a pound compared to other generals, turn your head and talk about which man is not lustful?

In the Lin Wing of the Hunan Army, there is a handwritten letter from Zeng Guofan, as well as a revolver with a gold ivory handle sent by Zeng Guofan, which is so fierce and fearless that even the official Wen of the Governor of Erhu dares to drag off the horse, and Zhou Fuming, a fierce general of the Hunan Army, has also set up rules for himself.

The governor avoided Wuhan, and the governor set up rules to set up camp and raise the flag to guard one side, this was really the first time in the Qing Dynasty, Lin Yi gently took off his top and put it on the table, from the second grade of the jewel top and the one-eyed flower feather on it made Lin Yi himself a little obsessed.

In Lin Yi's own words, he has seen through everything, but he has not seen through the two words of fame, maybe he has seen through it, and he has seen it too hard, just like the truth in this world, if he understands it, he understands it, but if he understands it too well, he doesn't understand anything!

But the generals of the Hunan army below can be said to be full of dust, and some of them even have blood stains on their faces and bodies, I don't know if it is Lin Rebel's bandit army or their own people.

When everyone had almost eaten, Lin Yi waved his hand and ordered someone to take down the meal, so he said, "Everyone! Since we are all in the same boat, I will not hide the matter of the fall of the bandit army in Nanchang, Zeng Dashuai's 100,000 army and the monk king's 300,000 army are advancing hand in hand, Li Hongzhang's Huaizi battalion in Shanghai has the support of the English and the French, this is all early days, we just need to stick to it for two or three months, waiting for the Lin rebel bandit army to be defeated, that is, when the imperial army swings a thunder and thunders to sweep the snow, I hope you will work together, this move is a crisis that I have never had since the founding of the Qing Dynasty! I believe that through this crisis, whether it is Zeng Dashuai, the monk or even the imperial court, they will not treat us badly! ”

Zhou Fuming, who had just finished eating a leg of mutton, wiped his hands while looking at Tuatu who was crooked and humming a small tune, Tuatu is the Eight Banners of Mongolia, with the support of Monk Greenqin behind him, and the four thousand cavalry under his command are each with three horses, all of which are Russian Lelev rifles and Citigroup's five-company short fire, even if this equipment is the cavalry standard liquid of the new army, it has fought with the reconnaissance cavalry of the Lin Rebel Bandit Army several times before, except for a loss of the opponent's light machine gun, almost every time he can make a draw in the case of firearms defeat, Now Tuatu is showing off his might, and the two Mauser pistols produced by Lin Cheng on his waist are the trophies of the war.

So much so that Tuatu can't wait to hang it around his neck every day to show off a few circles, others don't know the inside story, but Zhou Fuming still knows that Tuatu used twenty-nine lives in exchange for it, two of which are still his personal soldiers, and two Mauser pistols made Tuatu report a big victory, Zhou Fuming is very disdainful of this, especially Tuatu, who wantonly uses the lives of his soldiers to unscrupulously dye his own head.

Lin Yi saw that the officials and generals below were a little weak, obviously in the past few days, especially the various departments in Dongcheng took turns to participate in the battle and suffered a lot of casualties, most of the people on the top were recruited from all over the world, and no one was willing to fill in the real old bones, after several fierce battles, the elite of Zhou Fuming's department who had filled in Dongcheng four times had basically not moved the old capital, Tuatu had hung up more than 30 people, and the heaviest Taiqia had more than 500 people in it, but more than 7,000 people were thrown in the training of the Hunan army in various places, and more than 2,000 wounded were concentrated in Yongqing Temple, lest the wailing and screaming affect the other teams.

For the fancy ideas played by the people below, Lin Yi is naturally clear, for example, although Zhou Fuming complains every day, but his headquarters has dragged at least 1,500 people from the Xiangyong who came down from the fierce battle in the past few days, and the strength has not only not weakened, but also strengthened, Lin Yi does not pay attention to the matter of the people below who are empty and train brave, and people always die in war!

Let those who can't do it, the cowardly, and the cowardly die first is also a way to avoid trouble, otherwise once the war is reversed, the veterans can fight, and the recruits are the easiest to pee away, one can sweep away ten, ten can sweep away a hundred, and the battle formation will collapse!

In Lin Yi's opinion, there are some things and things, as long as they are done, they must be returned, and when the Lin rebel bandit army attacked and fought fiercely, Lian Yong was exhausted, and Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, and Taiqia had to go up with the shells.

So Lin Yi said to the generals below leisurely: "Do you all know the origin of the word Changsha in Changsha City? ”

In addition to Zhou Fuming's outstanding talents, such as Taiqia and Tuatu are basically big characters are not the same master, several people are very uninterested in Lin Yi's inquiry, but Lin Yi smiled slightly: "This Changsha has been derived from the stars since ancient times, of course, there are several other sayings, but the theory of the stars is the most widely circulated during the period, the most accepted one, the warlock divides the stars in the sky into twenty-eight houses according to the solar terms and the sky direction, each of which stands on one side." Among the 28 Nakshatras, there is one Nakshaku, which is the last of the seven Suzaku in the south, and there are four stars. There is a record in "Xibu Tiange" that "the four pearls are not equal to each other, and Changsha is black and hidden in the middle". So Changsha is named after the Xiangjiang River running through the middle, and this section of the Xiangjiang River embankment that passes through Changsha is ten feet high and how spectacular! It's like a boat on a heavenly river! ”

After Lin Yi finished speaking, Tuatu and Tai Qia did not react, but Zhou Fuming's face suddenly changed, Zhou Fuming looked at Lin Yi coldly and said, "Lord Lin shouldn't want to learn Zhuge Wuhou's trick of borrowing the sky, right?" A few days ago, the arsenal gunpowder was transferred away by 2,000 catties, I'm afraid it is your masterpiece of Lord Lin, right? ”

Lin Yi smiled slightly: "Isn't it possible?" Since Lin rebel bandit army wants Changsha, then I will use the water of the Xiangjiang River to flood the three armies, so that his army will not return! ”

As soon as Tuatu heard that Lin Yi had a way to retreat from the enemy, he immediately shouted hello and asked with a blank eye: "Lord Lin, this trick is high!" Flood well! It's good to be flooded! Let's do it now! I drowned them tonight, and tomorrow morning I will kill the generals, and I promise to kill them personally! ”

Tuatu even jumped out of his mouth, Zhou Fuming glared at Tuatu and said: "If you want to be the king, don't count us, you have your own green hair, and you are at ease!" ”

Tuatu is notoriously lustful, and often gives others a green hat with his surname, but none of the dozen or so aunts in his family is a fuel-efficient lamp, and Tuatu's green hat is flying all over the sky, Tuatu is very taboo for others to talk about this, Zhou Fuming's language hit his weakness, Tuatu immediately broke out, first touched the gun and felt inappropriate, and then he was about to pull out the knife.

As a result, Zhou Fuming didn't even look at him, and gave him a head and said to Lin Yi: "The Xiangjiang River flows through Changsha City, this section of Changsha City is twenty-eight miles long, in order to be able to moor the two water and land wharves in the north and south of the Yangtze River, so as to reduce the sediment flowing into Dongting at the same time, Kangxi on both sides of the river built a levee of six zhang and three in three years, and the Yongzheng Dynasty and the Qianlong Dynasty increased it twice and now it is two out of ten zhang. What kind of heart do you have Lord Lin? ”

Zhou Fuming asked Tuatu and Tai Qia to react, it turned out that the flooded three armies had drowned all their own people, Tuatu suddenly jumped to his feet and scolded angrily: "Lin Yi, you bastard, the master really believes in you, but you want to kill the masters?" You are going to cut open your dog's mouth today to see if your heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys are all black? ”

Zhou Fuming glared at Tuatu and said, "What are you anxious about?" Don't you have to die if you kill him? There are also 100,000 bandit troops outside the city, and this is a dead end. ”

Zhou Fuming glanced at Lin Yi and said coldly: "Lord Lin, don't you tell your brothers that it's a last resort when the city walls are lost and the reinforcements are not in time?" No one is a three-year-old child, we are freeing troops to fight, what is the use of keeping the soldiers when they are gone? There are more people waiting for positions in the court, even if you survive and don't enter Dali Temple, you have to be assigned to Ningguta, you are the governor, the flooded forest is against you, and our brothers are the enemy's disadvantage. ”

Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, and Taiqia are still brothers and sisters on the same front, Tuatu and Taiqia Ye are not fools, and Zhou Fuming understands the twists and turns as soon as they say it.

And Lin Yi was also extremely distressed, he naturally had his plans, but he knew that Zhou Fuming was already tracking down the two thousand catties of gunpowder, and one of the two thousand generals under him was lost in Changsha City, and he didn't see anyone dead or dead, so he took the initiative to pick out this matter today, thinking that this group of Qiu Ba should be easy to deal with, but he didn't expect Zhou Fuming to be coarse and fine, and his intentions were broken with one word.

No matter how Lin Yi swore that he would definitely live and die with everyone present, and promised to return to the court without saying frankly to clarify what was going on, but Zhou Fuming and the others were not three-year-old children after all, and finally had to inform Zhou Fuming of the location of the blasting and the place where the gunpowder was hoarded.

This is equivalent to holding Lin Yi's handle, in case of an accident, after losing the city and blowing up the embankment, it means that all the people are in the same boat, and no one will pick themselves off neatly.

Lin Yi was annoyed by his miscalculation, the words and tricks originally prepared were useless at all, Tuatu and Taiqia were indeed bastards and stupid people, and after Zhou Fuming's words, he didn't listen to any of his own justifications, with an expression that what you said was useless, Lin Yi suspected that he was giving these two fools silver at this moment, and they would all suspect that he had done something with the silver, and this play did not make Lin Yi, who had always been pretentious and high-minded, think that he had calculated properly, and vomited blood.

Lin Yi has been stirring up the relationship between Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, and Taiqia, so that he can sit on balance, otherwise he will rely solely on Zeng Guofan's door stickers and orders? That's just, it's really a battle in a sea of corpses and blood, and you're the cheapest offender on the sidelines, purely because you can't find it yourself, and you deserve to be cut down by someone else, and in the end you can only report your death in the chaos.

There is a kind of person in China, who can't keep a secret in his mouth, and tells him something, and the next day the world knows it, and this kind of person is the legendary dog belly that can't hold two taels of ghee.

Do you know that Governor Lin and Zhou Fuming, Lord Zhou, Tuatu, and Taiqia are inseparable? Oh my God! That white-faced governor visited the brothers all day long, but he wanted to blow up the embankment, and he was going to drown our men and Lin Rebellion's bandit army!

A thief-eyed soldier looked around and said cautiously: "I heard with my own ears, several adults have drawn their swords, there are at least one hundred and ten guards present, and the last three adults Garin Governor each has a hundred people, guarding two thousand catties of gunpowder, when it doesn't work, bang it, everyone is finished together!" ”

A few generals on the side saw that this soldier Yong said it sincerely, and said a little angrily: "The adults can hear you feeding the horses, so let's pull your mother's eggs!" How dare you fool you with this little material? Let's play with the pee by ourselves! ”

The thief-eyed soldier bravely bared his mouth full of big yellow teeth and said, "A few, a few! I dare to swear to the heavens, if what I say is true, tomorrow morning, let the blossom bullet of Lin Rebellion, go to the city to be shot in the head, feed the horse of Lord Tu to death, and let Lord Tu beat me to death with a stick! ”

A Qian general who was passing by looked at this soldier who swore a curse with a very bad face, because these oaths are the most poisonous and poisonous on the battlefield, and when he came, he had already seen Tuatu's flag camp moving to the high ground, Qian Zong glared at the thief-eyed soldier Yong, and then whispered: "I just saw the flag camp of the Eight Banners moving the camp, all of them are moving to the high ground, and Lord Taiqia's private goods have been moved to the Linghe Tower!" Let's ask for more blessings! It's all scattered, scattered, and the gossip is going to lose its head! ”

Yes! I'll you! This gang of black-hearted dog things, the message began to spread very inadvertently, and after the soldiers and the general were dispersed, the thousand general and the thief-eyed soldiers exchanged glances with each other, and they quickly dispersed.

After Lin Yi, Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, and Taiqia were suppressed that night, Lian Yong and the garrison departments in the city were already panicked, and more than a dozen Lian Yong tried to escape by drilling the dark ditch of the moat in the middle of the night, but they were found by the sentinels at the head of the city and knocked down a few.

In the middle of the night, after a burst of rapid gunfire at the head of the Qing army, a red signal flare rose outside the city, and suddenly the head of the city was bombarded by a group of field artillery outside the city, this shelling can be said to have saved the lives of seven Qing soldiers who practiced bravery, and after the seven people who stumbled gloriously became prisoners, a thief-eyed Qing soldier suddenly shouted: "I am from the Third Division of the First General Bureau of the Ministry of Intelligence, please take me to check my identity immediately, I want to see the commander of the regiment commander, Chief Zhang Zheng and Chief Gao Qi!" ”

The Qing soldiers who accompanied the breakthrough suddenly looked at this thief-eyed soldier, they never expected that the other party's people would enter the city, and this Changsha City could still be defended? The remaining six Qing soldiers are brave, you look at me, I look at your blindness.

After this thief-eyed Qing soldier bravely reported to his home, he was identified as Qin Guozhong, who was a hidden agent behind enemy lines in the Third Division of the First General Bureau of the Ministry of Intelligence, and Qin Guozhong, who had quickly completed his identification, was taken to the tent of the headquarters, where Zhang Zheng, Gao Qi, Chu Jiang, Zhang Wei and others were already waiting.

Qin Guozhong saluted a military salute and said loudly: "Inferior agent behind enemy lines No. HI0120090G, now report the emergency military situation to all the army commanders and commanders!" ”

Qin Guozhong immediately picked up a baton, came to the sand table of the command platform and pointed to the Xiangjiang embankment: "As we all know, in order to build a water and land wharf so that Changsha can use the Xiangjiang River to extend in all directions, the Qing court built a levee in Changsha City, thinking that this section of the river embankment will be raised and become a river on the ground. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Zheng, Gao Qi, Chu Jiang, Zhang Wei and others seemed to be sitting on a nail, and they bounced up, this news was too shocking, once the flow of the Xiangjiang River was broken, then don't say that the entire Changsha City is finished, even the nearby counties and villages of Baili will be finished together, will the Xiangjiang River be rerouted?

The actual blowing up of the embankment is a very simple thing, but the consequences are immeasurable, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of people in the city, even the Qing army itself is afraid that it is difficult to escape, Zhang Zheng was frightened by this crazy plan out of a cold sweat, in his opinion, the person who can plan such a plan must be a madman.

After arranging for Qin Guozhong to go down to rest, Zhang Zheng stood in front of the sand table and was silent for a long time, and Gao Qi was also worried about the Qing army's hand.
