Chapter 272: Sichuan is agreed
Zhang Weikun deliberately raised his voice and echoed: "The fourth brother is right, let's look at the face of the second brother, then Chen Yu established the war exploits, let's give priority to cutting the report, the emperor asked, and we also spoke for him, which made him rank among the top in the Boy Scouts, and everything took advantage of his wishes." ”
Zhao Yali stood not far away, hearing this, a casual smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, Chen Yucheng's matter, how could it be as simple as they imagined.
Since he recovered from his illness, Lu Jianying went to court for the first time today, and now he is just standing quietly in place alone, and when others come to greet him, he just responds to a few casual words.
"The emperor has arrived!"
The civil and military officials hurriedly lined up and stood up, and bowed in unison: "The ministers see the emperor, may the emperor live long live, long live, long live." ”
"Zhong Aiqing is flat!"
Li Yunzhong said calmly: "The whole country tends to be unified, Zeng Guofan also handed over the two lakes last month, Mongolia and the Northeast are using troops, I believe that there will be good news in the near future, now there is only one place left in Sichuan, let's talk about Sichuan today!" ”
Lu Jianying hated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom the most for burning books and destroying Confucianism, causing chaos and human relations, so he directly stepped forward and bowed down and said: "Your Majesty, Sichuan is rebellious and extravagant, perverse, and the Sichuan people are miserable. ”
Ye Mingchen continued: "What Lord Lu said is that Hong Xiuquan is a talent, but what he does is the work of burning books and pit Confucianism, which is three points more tyrannical than Qin Shi Huang, he is really the scum of my scholars, the reason is clear, please send troops quickly." ”
Seeing that no one objected, Li Yunzhong turned his gaze to Chen Chengying, Lin Shaozhang and others, and focused on their faces. Laughed at them one by one.
Chen Chengying saw the emperor's gaze coming, and his heart was weak. Quickly lowered his head, and his legs trembled unconsciously.
Lin Shaozhang kept his head down. I don't know what Lu Dao is for, he always feels that the emperor has been staring at him, and laughs at himself, the emperor is the Ninety-Five, how can he stare at him, Lin Shaozhang couldn't help but look up......
"Poof!"
Li Yunzhong glanced at Lin Shaozhang, who was lying softly, and asked with wide eyes, "Is Lord Lin uncomfortable?" ”
Lin Shaozhang hurriedly got up and replied in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, Weichen caught a cold last night, but Weichen's body is strong. Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, Weichen can hold on. ”
Li Yunzhong said: "There is a sentence that I have long wanted to tell you, and now the new deal is being implemented, what is the new deal?" Everything is new, everything has to change, like one person breaking the law, one person taking responsibility, and not raiding the house. Don't be interested in joint sitting, don't want to kill the whole family, even criminals are treated so preferentially, let alone the ministers. Look at you, hunched over one by one, trying to bow your head and be an ostrich. There are still flowers on the soles of the feet, and everyone raises their heads to be people. Couldn't be better! ”
Lu Jianying didn't know what the emperor's idea was, and said tentatively: "The emperor is the true dragon emperor." It is a fairy-like figure, and we are ordinary people, how dare we look up to the sky. ”
Li Yunzhong saw that Shen Baozhen, Ye Mingchen and others were going to say more, so he hurriedly raised his hand to stop it, and said loudly: "This matter is so decided, I am not afraid of you, and you are not afraid of me, everyone is planning for the well-being of the people, and they should be harmonious." When Li Yunzhong said this, he couldn't help but shout: "Okay! Everybody stand up straight! ”
Hearing the shouting, the civil and military officials shivered, involuntarily stood up straight, reacted quickly, and quickly lowered their bodies slightly.
Li Yunzhong knew that this was not a momentary achievement, so he took a sip of tea and said: "Let's get down to business, since no one opposes the pacification of Sichuan, let's fight!" In order to fight, troops must be dispatched, and generals must be selected when troops are dispatched, and several large armies are dispatched abroad, and now only the Third Group Army stationed in Liangguang is left, and the military headquarters and the general staff department must formulate a good strategy. ”
"Your Ministers obey."
Zhang Suimou and Zhao Liewen came out and answered in unison.
Zhao Liewen deliberately waited for a while, and when he saw Zhang Suimou returning to the column, he asked again: "Dare to ask the emperor, who is the commander of the troops sent to Sichuan, Lord Zuo went to the northwest, I am afraid that there is no time to separate, the 11th Army, the main force of the Third Group Army, has been transferred, and now there is one army left, with a total of about 40,000 horses in three divisions, and the ability to attack Sichuan is not enough." ”
Li Yunzhong has long been accustomed to the way these Wenchen perform things, and he has said so much, just waiting for himself to ask:
"Does Aiqing have a strategy?"
Sure enough, I saw Zhao Liewen smiling slightly, looking very proud.
"Emperor Qiqi, Weichen suggested that Jiangxi Zeng Shuiyuan Department, Anhui Lin Qirong Department jointly attack, and Yunnan Shi Dakai can also be called, so that there are 100,000 elite men and horses in several armies, which is enough to pacify Sichuan."
Zhang Suimou pondered for a while, and immediately frowned, the armies ordered by Zhao Liewen are all descendants of Guangxi, is this person really for the country, or does he have other plans?
Ye Mingchen immediately praised: "What Lord Zhao said is very true, if the troops are not enough, the Fifth Army that has just been stationed in Shanghai can be transferred, after all, the south of the Yangtze River has been flat for a long time, and the people's hearts have returned to Han, and it is difficult for some small people to succeed." ”
Zhang Suimou heard it, and then he got it! All the old brothers in Guangxi were transferred to Sichuan, not to mention how Hong Xiuquan's side dealt with it, in case some generals on his side were tempted to become traitors, would the emperor still trust the people of Guangxi?
"Your Majesty, it has already been decided that the armies stay in strategic places for defense, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Zhejiang are the barriers of Nanjing, so our army has left a large army in these provinces, and now it is hastily called, in case there is a late regret of three long and two short-term regrets in Nanjing, Weichen suggested that the Huguang Xiang Army, Shandong People's League, and Henan People's Army be called, which can not only increase the strength of the Han army, but also train the elite and pacify Sichuan."
The Shandong People's Army is Gu Jiaxing's starting force, and the Shandong People's League is all incorporated into the demoted official Zhang Liangji, not to mention the Hunan Army, which is closely related to Zeng Guofan, and these leaders are all backbone figures in the Qingliu.
Lu Jianying smiled slightly, this Zhang Suimou really couldn't hold his breath, and with a slight agitation, he fell into the trap they arranged, attacking Sichuan can be said to be the most difficult battle, and it is the most important time to gain military merits and be knighted, how can their civil official group be allowed to be monopolized by the Guangxi people, this time the emperor is deliberately biased in favor of the Guangxi people.
Gu Jiaxuan stood next to Zhang Suimou, bowed down and said: "What Lord Zhang said is very true, the Henan militia has been established for two years, and every three months there are 5,000 people in the Luoyang camp to receive formal training, and the emperor can levy 30,000 troops with a single edict, which is more than enough to attack Sichuan. ”
Zhang Liangji, the superintendent of the imperial history, also said: "The Shandong militia was built by Weichen, and the hired instructors are all foreigners, as for the combat power...... The General Staff Department knows best, please rest assured that Shandong is mountainous, has many rivers, and the terrain is quite similar to Sichuan, and the people's army will be able to win. ”
"That's it! All right! I know the way. Li Yunzhong saw that Liu Rong still wanted to say more, and hurriedly waved his hand to stop it, attacking Sichuan, his original intention was to let the Third Army take the lead, and now let them say that the people's army has become the main force, and he knows best the combat power of the old brothers in Guangxi, let the militia and the militia go in to suppress, how can he rest assured!
Thinking of this, Li Yunzhong nodded to Wang Qinglu without a trace and asked him to relieve the siege.
Wang Qinglu stepped forward and said with a smile: "You don't have to quarrel, Shandong and Henan are too far away from the front line, not to mention whether the delivery of materials can arrive on time, the soldiers are so far away from home to fight, after all, they have to leave three points of strength, and the pacification of Sichuan must be a quick battle, otherwise it will never be possible for the household department to support it for so long." ”
Ye Mingchen glanced at Wang Qinglu deeply and replied, "Then transfer some less soldiers and horses." ”
Li Yunzhong accepted it when he saw that it was good, and ordered: "Then take the Third Group Army as the main force, transfer one division of Lin Qirong's department, one division of Zeng Shuiyuan's department, 5,000 Henan militia, 5,000 Shandong militia troops, and another 8,000 Hunan troops, so that a new group army can be formed and it is enough to pacify Sichuan." ”
Zhao Liewen asked again: "Dare to ask the emperor, who is the handsome?" ”
Li Yunzhong glanced down, saw Zhao Yali's eager appearance, and hurriedly asked, "Do you have a favorite candidate?" ”
Zhang Suimou said: "Weichen suggested that Lord Ling be in charge. ”
Zhang Liangji immediately objected: "Lord Ling is the Minister of the Navy, how can he be the commander of the army, Weichen suggested...... Think it's not appropriate! Square peg! ”
Zhang Liang basically wanted to suggest that Zhao Liewen should go on the expedition, thinking that he had just surrendered, and before surrendering, he had severely damaged the Northern Expedition of the Han Army several times, and the emperor must have doubts about himself, and it would only be counterproductive to say it, so he swallowed the words that came to his mouth again.
