Chapter 561: Zeng Guofan's Hope

The name Han Dynasty is good, but it is true that as Yang Shuijiao pointed out, it is used indiscriminately, and the Tang Dynasty is the same, and naming it in a Western way, most Chinese may not be able to accept it, so what name should be used?

Hong Xuanjiao suddenly turned her head and said: "I think it's called China, we are originally China, and the name China has a history of thousands of years, with rich meanings, and it is very appropriate to take China as the name of the country." ”

"Hmm!" Zhou Xiuying nodded: "I don't think it's actually necessary to reflect the form of government in the name of the country, such as the empire, the empire gives people the impression of dictatorship, centralization, and expansion, and the name of the empire will make other countries vigilant, and the constitutional monarchy is obviously a kind of democratic system, and it has nothing to do with dictatorship."

Another example is the United States, the United States is a federal system, so it is called the United States, and if China implements a federal system, then the power of the central government will weaken in the future, and it will inevitably be the result of division, because China's thousands of years of local division have never stopped.

Another example is the republic, its basic meaning is that the government and the head of state are elected and have a certain term, which is obviously contrary to the constitutional monarchy, as for the kingdom, it reminds me of the small country of Sardinia, a large country with a land area of more than 10 million square kilometers, and calling the kingdom will give people a sense of loss, so I also agree to call it China! ”

"Yo ho!" Wang Feng exaggerated and exclaimed: "Big sister, I always thought you were just a martial idiot, I didn't expect to be so insightful about politics!" ”

Hong Xuanjiao said angrily: "What's wrong with Xiuying?" What's your expression? Can't Xiuying have some ideas of her own? ”

"You don't look down on people!" Yang Shuijiao also glared at Wang Feng dissatisfied, and Zhou Xiuying waved her fist even more, putting on a look of being careful that I will beat you!

"Alright. All right! Wang Feng sneered: "I also think China is good, and I will discuss it with Wang Youling and them when I return to Suzhou." Come, let's go. We spend the night in Hong Kong tonight. ”

That night, Wang Feng and his entourage lived in the Hong Kong Governor's Palace, the Governor's Palace was started in 1851 and took four years to complete, Baoling had not lived a few times, it was forcibly occupied by the Democratic League, there was a new military camp on the edge of the Governor's Palace, and now the soldiers of the Democratic Alliance Army are stationed, and not far behind the Governor's Palace. There is also a zoo under construction, where several animals such as rhinos, elephants, lions, and peacocks already live.

In addition, Hong Kong has also built a number of clean roads, and there are rows of British-style buildings on the roadside, obviously the British investment in Hong Kong is still quite large, of course, Wang Feng is not prepared to give any form of compensation.

By the next day, the total number of merchants in Canton, plus the blacks handed over by the Americans, was about 6,000. All were taken to Hong Kong, where they would undergo a short period of military training, and about then ships would be sent by the East China Sea Fleet. Drag blacks to Japan and leave them to fend for themselves.

I stayed in Hong Kong for two days and went to Macau to have a look. After meeting with representatives of the local people, Wang Feng returned to Guangzhou three days later. And the news of the destruction of the Democratic Republic of South Vietnam also spread!

"Bang!" Zeng Guofan, who was sitting in Jiujiang, had an angry face on his face and slammed the table: "Guoquan lost his life." The 5,000 elite army was wiped out. It's all Zhao Liewen's idea, and the old man regrets that he shouldn't have listened to one side of the story! ”

Zeng Guofan didn't know that Zhao Liewen had already surrendered to the Democratic Alliance, otherwise, he would probably vomit blood in anger!

Hu Linyi was by Zeng Guofan's side, his eyes were a little straight, he didn't expect that the country that Ye Mingchen and Wu Chongyao had vigorously built would be wiped out in less than a year, and his heart couldn't help but feel a kind of sadness like a rabbit and a fox.

Sighing secretly, Hu Linyi persuaded: "The marshal, please mourn by the way, the deputy marshal is loyal to the emperor and seek benevolence, and Mr. Zhao, the details are not known for the time being, and the subordinates think that it is better to find out and then discuss the guilt." ”

Zeng Guofan said bitterly: "Brother Zhensheng (Hu Linyi) brother, how can you win the battle, Guoquan seeks benevolence and benevolence, I don't blame Liewen, I just complain that he buried my 5,000 elite soldiers, don't look at our many people, with more than 100,000 soldiers, but the people's hearts have not yet been subdued, these 5,000 elite soldiers are all annihilated, and our Hunan army can't afford to lose it!" ”

Hu Linyi was silent, although the Taiping Army was recruited, although there were many elites, but the time was too short, and it could not be completely taken for its own use, the generals at all levels of the original Taiping Army still had a lot of independence, in fact, it was a good way to kill the disobedient, but to eliminate dissidents, the involvement was too big, and the whole body was moved, and the former Taiping Army generals, as long as they killed one, it would lead to unpredictable consequences.

The key is that the food is too urgent and too fierce, the Taiping army incorporated by the Hunan army is comparable to its own size, and there is a big enemy of the Democratic Alliance Army outside, so that the Hunan army does not dare to use too drastic means, at present, Zeng Guofan can not directly command the soldiers of the original Taiping Army, and must pass through Lai Hanying and Hu Yihuang to give orders.

After a while, Hu Linyi asked, "What are the plans of the big handsome?" ”

Zeng Guofan muttered: "It is no longer possible for our army to attack Jiujiang, but the only way to do this is to take advantage of the fact that the Democratic Alliance Army initially occupied Liangguang and was temporarily unable to take care of our two lakes and Jiangxi, speed up the reorganization of the original Taiping Army, and send more people into Burma to urge the British to provide weapons and equipment as soon as possible.

"The handsome man has a point!" Hu Linyi nodded and said: "But Lin Yi heard that there is an army named Pole in the Phoenix Territory of Xiangxi, Bi is a Miao person, brave and good at fighting, and has made great contributions in the Qianlong Dynasty in the suppression of the rebellion of Jinchuan, so he was specially given by the Qianlong Lord to Tunding, and ploughing and guarding, and the warrior Ding specializes in drilling, the current leader is Tian Xingshu, only in his early twenties, and the martial arts are outstanding, and the marshal can send an envoy to recruit the Gan army to Jiujiang to listen to the order. ”

Zeng Guofan had also heard of the Ganjun, but he hesitated: "Ben Shuai knows that the Ganjun, the Ganjun is similar to Chen Village in Shunde, and the relationship with the court is quite delicate, and it may be difficult to make it bow down to the order when recruited, and Hu Lai's generation already has their own thoughts, if there is more Ganjun, wouldn't it be more difficult to reach the military order?" ”

Hu Linyi smiled slightly: "Miao people are stupid, they have not seen the world, as long as the marshal uses a little means, it is not difficult to make Tian Xingshu submit, and at the same time, he can also use the momentum of the army to pressure Hu Lai and others, if he is still obsessed, it is better to "

Hu Linyi suddenly smiled, his eyes showed a fierce color, and he slashed into the void with one palm!

"Good!" Zeng Guofan shouted hello, he has lost patience with Hu Yihuang, Lai Hanying and other former leaders of the Taiping Army, but the Hunan Army and the Taiping Army are temporarily in a balanced situation, he is worried that the elimination of the former Taiping Army generals will cause a civil war and hurt the vitality, but if you can hold the Pole Army in your hands, the situation will be different, and this extra force will break the balance and make the situation develop in the direction of the Hunan Army.

"Brother Zhensheng, this matter is handed over to you, you send a capable person to go to Phoenix, and summon Tian Xingshu to come to Ben Shuai's tent to obey orders!" Zeng Guofan's eyes showed some confidence, and he turned his head and shouted.

"Yes, Lin Yi will do it immediately!" Hu Linyi arched his hand and walked out quickly. (To be continued......)
