Chapter Ninety-Five: A Familiar Name—Song Qing
In Guangzhou, the authority of the Chinese in Western medicine, in addition to the above-mentioned Huang Kuan, there is also a person named Guan Tao. He is a disciple of Bo Jia, with superb medical skills and good morality, and he also served in the army with Huang Kuan during the Second ** War, and also won the five products of the Qing court.
But Guan Tao, like Huang Kuan, was not interested in officialdom and resigned together after the war. Liu Xian sent the letter to Guangzhou this time, but the two did not hear it at all. What is a mere general soldier, if the two of them want to be rich, they will not be able to find Guangzhou.
Boji Hospital has begun to prepare to recruit medical students on a large scale and prepare to establish a medical school, and both of them are now devoting all their energy to this part.
After Su Daoming and Liang Xiaochu retreated, Liu Xian pondered slightly, and let people recruit Wang Qing, who was with the army, that is, Wang Luying's eldest brother. "You pick four people from the guards to be your entourage, take a silver ticket of 20,000 taels of silver, and go to Guangzhou.
Inquire about Huang Kuan, Guan Tao, and Boji Hospital.
See how their reputation is? ”
"But whether it's a good reputation or a bad reputation, give me 10,000 taels of silver and hand it over to Huang Guan, saying that I donated it to sponsor them to run the school."
Liu Xian really hopes that Huang Kuan and Guan Tao are people with good medical skills and ethics. But it really can't be done to have medical ethics, as long as the medical skills are good, he also admits it.
Wang Qingying was, his eyes continued to look at Liu Xian, listening to the following words.
The silver is twenty thousand taels, and this is ten thousand taels.
"The remaining 10,000 taels, in addition to the cost of the road, the rest will be used as capital for you, and I will be given a little in Shanghai. Keep an eye on the movements of foreigners, do not contact Britain and France, and focus on moving more around foreign banks in the United States. ”
"Mai Sheng?" Wang Qing said tentatively.
"It's just one thing, and the other ones, the United States won't be the only one in Shanghai." Liu Xian raised a finger, "Remember, don't reveal your identity." You're a small merchant with a small connection. ”
"Understood." Wang Qing nodded fiercely. In front of Liu Xian's 'brother-in-law', he does not have the dignity of being an uncle.
"Money, manpower, and more will be given to you. You're in Shanghai, and you're also looking for a group of reliable people. "Well done, that's the prototype of the Shanghai station of the Intelligence Agency. Liu Xian looked at Wang Qing.
"Good job. In the future, there is a future—"
The mouth is a few slaves, and Liu Xian can't call Wang Qing the title of big brother. I had to draw a big pie and hang it in front of Wang Qing.
And for people in this era, the future, fame, and profit are really the best heart boosters, and Wang Qing gives people a different feeling in an instant.
swept away the previous cringe, and the whole person showed a sharp energy, like a 100-meter flyer aiming at the championship sprint.
When he entered the tent, he was anxious; When he came out of the big tent, he was radiant. Whether a person has hope or not, the difference is so big.
In August, the Twist Army, under the command of Zhang Zongyu, launched an attack on the Qing army.
But the fall of Tianjing was too great a blow to the Twist Army. You must know that although the Twist Army has always had a strong independence, its relationship with the Taiping Army is really very close. The old leader Zhang Lexing was named the King of Wo of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and his base was attached to Huainan, which was Chen Yucheng's territory at the beginning.
At that time, the Twist Army was going out for a walk, and when they had enough, or they were beaten, they ran back to Huainan to rest for a while, and then regrouped and went out-
The fortified cities controlled by the Taiping army in Huainan at that time were the best barriers for the Twist Army.
The reason why the old leader Zhang Lexing was righteous last year was also because of Chen Yucheng's death, which made the Taiping army lose the land of Huainan, and the Twist Army had to guard the old nest and face the Manchu heavy army.
Zhang Lexing only led more than ten horsemen to break out of the encirclement, but was betrayed by traitors, and the father and son were captured and killed immediately.
There is no 'way forward', and there is a shortage of food, in the face of Seng Lingqin's heavy troops, Zhang Zongyu supervised the end of the troops to surrender one after another.
First was Wang Shidi's department, and he first surrendered to Zhang Desheng of the Zhufo Nunnery. In the next two days, after the Twist Army guarding Heishidu on the Eastern Front was cut off from the rear by Wang Shidi, it was also surrendered to the Qing Army Yinghan and Guo Baochang.
Niu Hongsheng, the black flag owner stationed in the Manshui River, was almost tied up by his rebellious subordinates and sent to Monk Greenqin to beg to surrender, and the brave Red Flag Banner owner Liu Shouyi did not dare to fight, so he galloped from Diaoyutai to meet Zhang Zongyu's headquarters.
So far, Zhang Zongyu's 'decisive battle' has completely failed. Only more than 30,000 people of more than 100,000 troops followed Zhang Zongyu to the Yanzi River, and went to the border of the mall by turning around a thousand baskets and crossing the horsehair. The remaining tens of thousands of Twist Army, who did not rebel, could not resist the onslaught of the Qing army in the face of the collapse of the whole line. Chen Daxi would rather die than surrender when the battle situation in Changshan Chong was critical, and committed suicide by slashing his neck. His brother Chen Wen died together!
Chen Daxi Xianfeng has gathered righteousness for ten years, and the "generation" is exempt from some, but it is based on Pingyu, and has Runing, Xincai, Shangcai, Shenqiu, Queshan, Xixian and other places, "extending a few and thousands of miles", and the scope of activities has reached three provinces and one state. If he hadn't been defeated by Zhang Yao, he would have been known in the world as Zhang Lexing's Huainan lair.
He is not one of Zhang Lexing's handfuls, but he is the confidant of the Qing court who is second only to Zhang Zongyu and Ren Huabang in the current twisting army.
And Zhang Yao, who can defeat him, doesn't seem to be well-known in history, but that is all people who are lonely and unheard, and look at history to see the most glorious loss.
Songwu Army, that's Songwu Army. During the Republic of China, it also bounced in Henan, Shandong, and Shaanxi for many years.
Zhang Zongyu did not take a group of remnants of the defeated army to run to the south road, it was a self-defeating road, not far from the Yangtze River. He led the army into Anhui Susong, Wangjiang, Qianshan, Taihu Lake between, monk Lingqin from Yingshan chased to Dengzhou in western Henan, Zhang Zongyu's remnants have been easy to ride, the movement quickly escaped.
Liu Xian didn't get any credit. Zhang Zongyu was two or three hundred miles away from him. Xiaogan, who arrived in June with 7,000 soldiers, waited for two months in vain.
Looking at the map, Liu Xian's head hurt. Dengzhou, in the southwest of Nanyang, only one step away from Yunyang, is it too big to get there from Anhui?
If Monk Greenqin allowed himself to participate in the encirclement of the Twist Army, there was really a way to run.
In September, Liu Xian marched into Tongbai.
Zhang Zongyu and Seng Greenqin, who had gone around in a big circle in Nanyang and Runing, rushed to Dengzhou again. Zhang Zongyu will not run, wait for work, occupy the team to rest for three more days, and defeat the monk Greenqin army. Then he defeated Monk Lingqin again in Lushan.
The morale of the Twist Army has risen sharply.
At this time, Seng Lingqin thought of the Han army, the Liu Xian army and Zhang Yao's army, the farther Zhang Desheng army, and the Yi army of Song Qing, the general soldier of Nanyang Town.
Yes, Song Qing, Yijun. is the Song Qing in people's impressions, the Yijun.
Among Liu Xian's colleagues who met and contacted in the Manchu camp, in addition to the giant boss of Seng Lingqin, he finally saw a familiar name.
Song Qing was born in the 24th year of Jiaqing, and is now 44 years old, a native of Penglai, Shandong. At the age of thirty-four, he went to Anhui to take refuge in his fellow villager Gong Guoxun, the governor of Bozhou, and helped him suppress the Twist Army, and was promoted to a general.
In the eleventh year of Xianfeng, Song Qing was promoted to a registered general soldier because of his meritorious service in fighting with the Taiping Army and the Twist Army, and was given the title of "Yiyong Baturu".
In the first year of Tongzhi, Tang Xunfang, the governor of Anhui, laid out Ding Yong and returned to Song Qing with three battalions. Because Song Qingyong was brave and brave Baturu, it was called Yijun.
This year, in the third year of Tongzhi, Song Qing assisted Seng Lingqin to defeat Miao Peilin and was promoted to the chief soldier of Nanyang Town.
