Zhou Fuming and the others, who had been waiting for Lin Yi, heard that Lin Yi had not made arrangements, and then recalled that if Lin Yi hadn't gone out to inspect the city defense today, I am afraid that they would have been burned to charcoal like the hundreds of people in the governor's yamen, and the worst thing was that they were burned to ashes, but whether they were burned to charcoal or burned to ashes, they were basically the same and unrecognizable.

After a long time of dispersion, one of his relatives walked into the tent and said, "My lord, there is someone over there who wants to see you!" ”

Lin Yi said with a face full of surprise: "Which side?" ”

The retinue looked around behind him and whispered, "It's over there!" I've checked, no one is watching, I took someone to the horse pen, is your horse sick? The man happened to be a veterinarian. ”

Lin Yi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat when he heard the words of his family, and it was even clear that his horse was sick? That's scary, isn't it? Could it be that they know what women they have slept with? Thinking of his special hobbies, Lin Yi's old face turned red unconsciously.

Lin Yi hesitated in the tent for a while, if he cut off the people directly according to his temper in the past, his head hung out, but he still understands the truth that the gentleman does not stand under the dangerous wall, Changsha is a dangerous city at the moment, in Liangjiang Hangzhou, the monk Lingqin's people watched Zeng Guofan's Li Hongzhang finish, and now the two seemingly godly armies in Wuhan are unwilling to take a step forward, Lin Yi really can't understand, why is it so difficult to do something in the Qing Dynasty? Even at this life-and-death juncture, there are still people who are in the mood to talk nonsense? Pulling each other back?

"Shall we?" Lin Yi's words made his relatives stunned immediately, and he didn't know what to do! Lin Yi, who was already a little out of proportion, took a few deep breaths and said to his relatives: "Let him go to the stable to take care of the sick horse, I will go over later, and you can arrange for someone to pay attention to the nearby and block all idle people, etc., understand?" ”

He nodded his head: "Please let go of your ten thousand hearts, and you can rest assured that I will do things!" ”

Lin Yi said uneasily: "If you are not afraid of 10,000 in everything, you should pay more attention, if something goes wrong, how many pairs of eyes in Changsha City are staring at us, and there is no place to bury you!" It also affects the family! ”

After the personal departure, Lin Yi was a little restless in the tent, Lin Yi quickly noticed that his abnormal state would attract the attention of others, so he forced himself to calm down, and found a Peach Blossom Spring in front of the bookcase, Lin Yi looked at the book absentmindedly, and at the same time sent someone to find him in the absent-minded sum of the Chinese Empire What to do? Want to surrender and sacrifice the city? Could it be that the other party, who even knows what woman he sleeps with, doesn't know that his family is in Gyeonggi?

But where the feudal territory is still the governor, his family is basically in the land of Gyeonggi, this is the rule of the imperial court, the only exception is Lin Haijiang, without waiting for the imperial court to announce that his family entered Beijing, its power has already made the first emperor feel threatened, but Emperor Xianfeng's means are indeed too general, the premise forced Lin Haijiang to rebel, resulting in the current situation, it can be said that Emperor Xianfeng is indispensable! His old man's eyes closed and he kicked his feet, and the eight big families behind him had never fought the queen mother of the two palaces, Prince Jiagong, and now half of the Qing Dynasty is about to be gone, can he still have food with this basin?

After dinner, Lin Yi, who was a little anxious, scolded the groom, and also whipped a few pro-soldiers, threatening to break the groom's dog leg if his horse had three lengths and two shorts, and Lin Yi looked at a young face under the oil lamp in the horse circle and was slightly stunned, and the young man immediately looked left and right and whispered: "I am Zhang Zemin of the intelligence department, this is Li Feng, the leader of our action group!" ”

Lin Yi looked at Li Feng, who didn't seem to be very old, and nodded, "You can also enter Changsha City like an iron bucket?" Besides, you're really young enough to be a doctor at this age, but is it too early to be a doctor? ”

Li Feng smiled slightly and said: "We have been in Changsha City for more than two years, this time thanks to Lord Lin, you did not evacuate the people, otherwise we have no reason to stay, my Chinese Empire is in the spirit of revitalizing China and serving the people, young age is not a problem, the capable are up, and the mediocre are our principles, for example, after you pass our side, after training, with your ability, the executive officer of these two lakes provinces is also nine out of ten." ”

Lin Yi was a little incredulous and said, "Even if I surrender and sacrifice the city, are you willing to really use me?" Don't lie to me, you don't have any candidates yourself? Will you still use me, an outdated person? ”

Li Feng nodded and said: "You are indeed reasonable, we deal with the division of the Taiping Army in this way, we want to be an officer of the military department, our Chinese Empire does not lack military talents, nor does it lack new weapons and equipment, what is lacking is administrative talents, such as the governor in charge of civil affairs, the consul of the Lianghu Province is equivalent to the governor of the two lakes of the Qing court, but this consul is only in charge of the production and construction of the people's livelihood, and militarily it is under the management of the commander of the Lianghu garrison area, the principle is that it is at the same level, and the commander of the non-wartime garrison area listens to the commander of the consul. The wartime consul cooperates with the commander of the garrison. ”

Lin Yi glanced at Li Feng and said, "It seems that you have made a bloody investment!" The price that Lin Haijiang gave me is not low, as the so-called person who knows the times is Junjie, but I still can't promise you, after all, I can't be alone! ”

Li Feng smiled slightly, took out a letter and said, "Let's take a look at the letter first!" ”

Lin Yi took the letter and read it in surprise, then slowly tore open the envelope, looked at it with the help of an oil lamp for a while, then put the letter on the lamp and burned it, and then paced a few laps in the stable: "Then what else can I say?" Can you be sure of giving me the position of Archon of the Two Lakes? ”

Li Feng was slightly stunned and said: "This is the final bottom line given by our minister Wang Faren, you and I are both smart people, and I don't want to waste time, after systematic study and nuclear training, with your ability and the attitude of the head of the empire to seek talent, plus our minister operates for you, the two lakes archons are eighty percent sure." ”

Lin Yi nodded with satisfaction and said, "If you say yes, I really can't believe it, but you are really powerful enough, and you have saved people in Gyeonggi City?" ”

Li Feng said seriously: "Our Minister Wang once taught His Excellency the Führer a famous saying, there is nothing that cannot be achieved, only what is not willing to be achieved, and the ultimate mission of the Ministry of Intelligence is to create miracles!" ”

Lin Yi hesitated for a moment and said, "How do you need me to cooperate with you?" ”

Li Feng said: "Liu Jinhai, the general manager of Zhou Fuming's department, is our people, and his people will be responsible for guarding the east gate at 11 o'clock tomorrow night, and we will mobilize 200 armed lurkers in the city to cooperate with this operation, seize the east gate in one fell swoop, and lead a large army into the city!" ”

Lin Yi was suddenly extremely surprised: "You all already have a complete plan, why do you still take the risk to find me?" I don't understand why? ”

Li Feng smiled slightly and said, "Give you a chance, and also give ourselves a chance, isn't it?" And I need to convene an urgent meeting of the main generals of Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, and Taiqia at 10 o'clock tomorrow night. ”

Lin Yi looked at Li Feng and said, "You are going to use your lurkers to take them down in one fell swoop, and in cooperation with your siege, the various departments in the city are leaderless, so as to take Changsha City at the lowest cost?" ”

Li Feng nodded, Lin Yi looked at the stars in the night sky and said, "Just do as you say!" Tomorrow morning, let them all change into Miku's Yingyong clothes, go to the Song family's old house to move rice, and come here, use my own soldiers over there to make Li Dai Taozhuang, so it's okay, at least the people don't have to suffer from the chaos anymore. ”

Through the flying pigeon contact, Lin Haijiang was very satisfied with Wang Faren's arrangement, and paid attention to the recent work of the five major directorates under the Imperial Intelligence Department, the Intelligence Department is a place where gold is swallowed like dirt, it can be said that the annual expenditure of just one intelligence department is almost equal to the total expenditure of the entire army's five corps, and the army and navy have always complained about the excessive investment in the intelligence department, but the intelligence department is under the direct jurisdiction of the high command, so the complaint is a complaint, No one is so confused as to give any advice to the Führer, after all, there are not many idiots who give advice to their superiors and superiors in real life!

On the evening of September 22, 1861, Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, Taiqia and others, who suddenly received Lin Yi's communication, rushed to the Song family's old house with the guerrillas and thousands of general managers of the headquarters, that is, the temporary governor's yamen office.

After everyone waited for a while, they didn't see Lin Yi coming? Tuatu looked at Zhou Fuming and Tai Qia with some impatience and said, "You all tell me which play this old boy Lin Yi is playing today?" Summoned all the gentlemen in a hurry, he didn't even show his head, did he drill the crotch of a wild bitch? ”

Tuatu saw Zhou Fuming snorting with a straight face, and Tai Qia laughed evilly, so he shook his horse whip and said: "Lao Tzu doesn't wait, let his surname Lin find Lao Tzu tomorrow to tell me what the hell is going on!" ”

As soon as Tuatu walked to the door, a Kong Wu forcefully stopped Tuatu and said, "This lord, Lord Lin will be ranked before the lord, please be calm for a while." ”

Zhou Fuming, who was sitting firmly in the chair, suddenly frowned, he noticed something was wrong as soon as he entered the courtyard tonight, because most of Lin Yi's personal soldiers were familiar to him, but today's personal soldiers were basically new faces, shouldn't there be any accidents? When I think that almost all the defenders of Changsha are here, it would be terrible if something happened to him!

"Fuck your uncle! Do you dare to stop Lao Tzu? Tuatu suddenly burst out, and instantly pulled out his two proud Mauser pistols from his waist, and as a result, more than a dozen people surrounded Tuatu with two guns.

Tuatu couldn't get angry at the moment, so he had to give in and say, "That's it? Why is it so kind today? Do you know who you're holding the gun on? Are you tired of being crooked? ”

Tuatu's words naturally couldn't scare the other party, not only his gun was down, but even Zhou Fuming, Taiqia's waist knife and revolver that were stable inside were also dropped, Tuatu looked at Zhou Fuming and Tai Qia with a blue face and said, "See?" It's turned upside down, huh? Lin Yi wants to rebel? When I return to the capital, I will kill him! No! When Zeng Dashuai came, he first picked the skin of his dog Lin Yi, and let him know what it means to be powerful! ”

When Zhou Fuming saw the Mauser pistol, he immediately raised his teacup helplessly and said to Tuatu and Tai Qia: "What are you shouting?" At this moment, I'm afraid we think we've become prisoners! Lin Yi is against you, just look at it with your eyes, now the people in the courtyard are estimated to be from Lin Yi's bandit army, otherwise where did so many expensive Mauser pistols come from? Moreover, in this Changsha City, except for the two Mauser pistols hanging from Tuatu's waist, he has never seen such a rare thing. ”

When Tuatu heard Zhou Fuming say that Lin Yi reversed, he immediately panicked and said, "Then what should I do?" So what should I do? I don't want to die! ”

Zhou Fuming looked at Tuatu with contempt and said: "Look at Lord Taiqia, we are the officials of the imperial court, we stick to one place, eat and drink are all served by the taxes of the local people, it is the responsibility to defend the land, and the general will inevitably die before the battle, what is the fuss?" Amazing, dead birds. ”

As he was talking, a dense gunfire suddenly sounded in the east of the city, and then there was a hoarse explosion, Zhou Fuming heard the sound and knew that it was a grenade on the part of the Chinese Empire, not a big one, when attacking the city before, it was often thrown on the head of the city, and it was a large area when it was blown up, and the injured were often blurred and could only wait for death.

In the fierce firefight, Zhou Fuming, Tuatu, and Taiqia sat in the hall of the Song Mansion and waited for the dense gunshots to spread throughout the city, Zhou Fuming was expressionless and closed his eyes to recuperate, Tuatu was like an ant on a hot pot and was anxious, Taiqia's eyes were straight and he didn't know what he was thinking!

Time passed like this, minute by minute, at dawn, Lin Yi, who was dressed in a Chinese emperor [***] uniform and wearing the rank of lieutenant colonel, who had just cut his braids and wore a big-brimmed hat that looked nondescript, entered the hall with a team of Chinese Imperial gendarmes wearing black brochures, Lin Yi looked around at the three of them: "Needless to say, is it superfluous?" You are all understanding people, and now that this Changsha City has been recovered, you should not be delusional. ”

Tuatu gritted his teeth and stared at him for a long time, and he didn't let out the cruel words under the bayonet of the gendarme, but Tai Qia glanced at Lin Yi meaningfully and sighed!

Zhou Fuming straightened his court clothes, took off his top and said with emotion: "I didn't expect it! Lord Lin, who is the most loyal and patriotic, full of benevolence and morality, finally reversed? Although the city is broken and we die, we have no complaints! If you die well, I hope that Lord Lin will order me to go down and give my brother a happy one, even if it is the grace of my subordinates! ”

Tai Qia looked at Zhou Fuming in surprise and said, "Why did Lord Zhou say this, the ants are still stealing?" ”

Zhou Fuming glanced at Taiqia and Tuatu and said: "Governor Lin Yi dedicated the city, since the bandits rebelled, the Qing Dynasty has only killed in battle, and there are very few people who defect to the enemy, this time the court must be furious, since Lin Yi dares to do this, his family is afraid that he has already been taken out of the land of Gyeonggi by the Chinese Empire at this moment, and my family members are still here!" If I don't die, my family will be difficult to live, I can wait for death, I can also break the city and fight to die, the worst is to be captured by bandits and die against the enemy, although these two evaluations are lower, but they can save the family's surname! ”

Looking at the figures of Zhou Fuming, Tai Qia, and Tuatu being escorted out, Lin Yi's mouth was extremely bitter, was it a confession of betrayal? Or is it unbearable to betray? Sympathy for losers, perhaps? Feelings for the dying? Lin Yi himself couldn't understand what was going on.

At this time, there was a burst of shouts and fighting sounds outside the door, and then a burst of gunshots rang out, and Lin Yi, who hurriedly went out, saw Tuatu, Taiqia, and Zhou Fuming who fell in a pool of blood and were silent, he knew that these three people were afraid that they would not escape death, and they were eager to die, so he did not order the gendarmes to tie up the three people, and it was considered a chance for them to beg for death, because these three people were all powerful generals, and they would definitely shoot if they resisted the gendarmes.

After Lin Haijiang learned that Zhou Fuming and the others were killed, he waved his hand lightly and said, "Even the original trial has been saved, which is a good thing!" ”

Wang Faren stood beside Lin Haijiang and looked at the casualty report on the case: "Führer, although our army's casualties are limited this time, the consumption of strategic reserves and materials is very huge, and the consolidation of the occupied area may take a while before it can launch the next stage of the campaign again." ”

Lin Haijiang closed the report and frowned and said: "Although the casualties of our army are not large, but the casualties of the Taiping army and the Qing army are very large, the originally rich two lakes because of the Taiping army and the Qing army for many years of tug-of-war has now become full of holes, yesterday I went to the market in the city, the price of rice in Changsha is more than ten times that of Guangzhou, how can the people not complain about such a price?" ”

Wang Faren said a little helplessly: "The grain transported later is on the way, our army's transportation capacity is limited, the transportation of military materials occupies six layers of railway transportation capacity, occupies eight layers of convoy transportation, and it also requires a lot of capital investment to stabilize the prices in the newly occupied areas, and now the empire's finances are already tight, can we wait?" After all, the people below the newly recovered area are in a panic, and no one dares to make a mistake openly. ”

Lin Haijiang glanced at Wang Faren meaningfully and said, "We Chinese are just too united when we shouldn't be united, and our fellow villagers, comrades, colleagues, classmates, and co-workers are united like an iron plate, and we are too disunited in the face of foreign invasion!" It's like a plate of loose sand, which is very wonderful, saying that the Chinese people are smart, and the Chinese people have been leading the whole world for thousands of years, and that the Chinese people are stupid? Whimsical in the face of an alien invasion? The person who is too smart must be an extremely selfish person, because he can see through everything, such a person will be instilled with faith will produce two extremes, on the contrary, the bravest soldiers in our army, but the most honest people, the spiritual belief instilled in them will produce a kind of driving force, and the ignorant are fearless! ”

Lin Haijiang turned to the sunset and said, "I have always believed that what we have created will be an unprecedented and prosperous era!" ”

Wang Faren stood in the shadow of the room and snapped upright, willing to serve the Führer!
