Chapter Twenty-Seven: Wang Qinglu is blunt

Nanjing City Dynasty Palace

The two rows of ministers stood opposite each other, and Li Yunzhong sat on top.

Looking at the several pieces of information presented by Zhang Suimou, Li Yunzhong was bored, and he really didn't understand why the Han army had repeatedly hit the wall during this time?

The first one is about the Jiangbei Northern Expeditionary Army.

In the first two months of the Northern Expedition, Luo Xuan led the Second Army of more than 20,000 people to surround Xuzhou for thirteen days, but he couldn't beat it! It was Qi Shan who defended Xuzhou! That Manchurian Qishan Li Yunzhong had heard of his name in later generations! Qi Shan was appointed as the governor of Liangguang, and in the face of foreigners, he was notoriously incompetent! How to face Luo Outline but hardened!

The second is about the situation of the southern expeditionary troops in the Jiangsu-Zhejiang theater

This Jiangsu Governor Meng has risen, and Li Xiucheng, the commander of the First Army, is even more of a bastard! More than 30,000 people in the whole army were once repelled to the outskirts of Shanghai by Jiaxing guards Zhang Guoliang and Feng Zicai, and asked for support from the foreign rifle team four times in three days, saying that the Qing Demon Musket Team was powerful! Could it be that he, Li Xiucheng, can't fight without the foreign guns?

The third is the situation of the Western Expedition

Not to mention the Anhui battlefield, some soldiers and horses feinted to attack Hubei, and Lin Qirong, the commander of the 14th Division guarding Jiujiang, actually attacked Nanchang without authorization! I really regard military orders as child's play.

The fourth is the battle situation in Jiangxi

The Jiangxi battlefield is even more outrageous! The governor had a disagreement with the army commander, and even divided the third army into two halves! One person attacked Guangxin Mansion to the southeast, and one led troops to attack the provincial capital Nanchang,

Lieutenant Li Yun slapped several pieces of information on the table fiercely, and said angrily: "You say, is this the Qing Demon becoming stronger, or is my Han army becoming weaker!" If this continues, sooner or later, my Han will die in the country! ”

Zuo Zongtang touched his beard and analyzed: "There are three reasons why our army has won many battles in the previous year.

On the one hand, most of the green battalion soldiers of the Qing army have not experienced the war, so that the military equipment is relaxed, and it is not uncommon for the generals to know the soldiers, and the soldiers do not know the generals, but now it is different, the war has lasted for nearly three years, and the waves have washed the sand, and most of the remaining officers and soldiers have experienced the war, so they dare to resist desperately!

On the other hand, since the uprising of our army, we have conquered cities and conquered cities, and most of the generals have the idea of underestimating the enemy, for example, Jiao Dudu dared to raid the capital of a province with only a few thousand people! This is a very dangerous signal.

The most important point is that most of the generals of our army do not know the art of war, and only rely on bravery, even high-ranking generals who do not have any experience in leading troops independently in combat abound. ”

Zhao Liewen remembered that some officials in Nanjing only knew pleasure and did not do practical things, and also admonished: "Your Highness, most of the officials and generals of our army are from civilian backgrounds, and there is only one reason for rebellion: to gain fame and wealth.

Now the Han Dynasty has set the capital of Nanjing, rewarding the heroes, they think that it is time to enjoy themselves, desperately collecting money and taking concubines, although it is not as blatant as Sichuan Hongyang, but if this trend is allowed to continue, the consequences are unimaginable! Please think twice, Your Highness. ”

Li Yunzhong's face gradually turned from blue to red, from red to white, in fact, he had already heard Zhao Laoqi say these things.

For example, Meng Sheng is in the Suzhou Gaidu Governor's Mansion, which is extremely luxurious, many houses are also decorated with gold and silver, and I also have to wear luxurious and unusual clothes every day to run errands, and my relatives in Suzhou bully men and women, and do all kinds of evil.

Li Xiucheng accepted bribes in Shanghai and built a luxurious general's mansion, and the silver in his home had been piled up into a small mountain, at least hundreds of thousands of taels! Li Xiucheng often drinks and sleeps at the foot of the silver mountain.

……

Through Zhao Laoqi's intelligence department, Li Yunzhong knows the situation of corruption better than them, whenever he has the mind to deal with them, he remembers that the generals followed him without hesitation whether they rebelled or broke away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he can have today, it is all because of the bloody struggle of his brothers, and he can't remove or kill them for the slightest problem!

This is a headache for Li Yunzhong.

Wang Qinglu often goes to the teahouse to drink tea and listen to plays, and he only knows much about these corrupt things, originally he planned to collect ironclad evidence and then report it to the King of Han, but now he saw Zuo Zongtang and Zhao Liewen picking out the matter, so he said amazingly:

"The Han Dynasty can have today, it all depends on the King of Han! The Han Dynasty is about to die, and it is also because of the King of Han! ”

Li Yunzhong was so interested by this sentence that he wanted to know what Wang Qinglu was going to say next?

"Good you prince! I can understand your first sentence, but I can't understand the second sentence, you can explain it to everyone."

Everyone sweated for Wang Qinglu, knowing that King Lu Dao Han was in a bad mood, and dared to touch his moldy head like this, isn't this the old birthday star hanging himself to find death!

Wang Qinglu said without saying anything or humble: "If the Han wants to lose the country, there will be two reasons, not to mention the Qing demon, the minister on the Han side has to say!" ”

"Go on, listen!"

Wang Qinglu saw that Li Yunzhong was as quiet as before the eruption, but his face did not change.

"My Han officials are incompetent and cannot assist His Highness in stabilizing the country. The army lost the battle, not only could not open up the territory, but also could not keep the enemy out of the country, how could the Han not die!

If there really is such a day, the minister dares to assert that these are all caused by His Royal Highness the King of Han! ”

Zhang Suimou couldn't bear it anymore, just cursed the Han Dynasty and lost the country, and dared to insult the King of Han for being a faint king, and scolded: "Presumptuous! Shut up! Come on, quickly drag this demon spy out of the city! ”

Zuo Zongtang and Zhao Liewen know Wang Qinglu's personality better, and bluntly said that they made a cheap mistake! stepped forward together and pleaded: "Please forgive Your Highness, Zichuan just lost his words for a while, and please ask His Highness to bypass him this time!" ”

Lin Dagene has been his assistant for Wang Qinglu for a while, and he appreciates his ability to handle political affairs, and has the heart to persuade a few words, but he is worried about offending Zhang Suimou and ruining the relationship between the brothers, so he secretly decided that if King Han really blames Wang Qinglu, he will intercede with King Han in private!

Li Yunzhong was really ashamed and angry at the moment, no one had ever dared to teach him a lesson in front of so many people, Hong Xiuquan didn't dare! Yang Xiuqing didn't dare! I didn't expect to be annoyed and angry by a scholar in front of me today.

"Tell me how I made the officials incompetent and the army defeated, if I can't convince the public, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Lin Daji saw that King Han was really angry, and pretended to reprimand Wang Qinglu and said, "Zichuan! Don't admit your mistake and retreat! ”

Wang Qinglu smiled gratefully at Lin Daji and talked eloquently, "The King of Han must bow down to everything, and the courtiers will come to ask the King of Han for advice, and in the long run, it will only make the officials rigid and idle."

The king of Han is the body of a daughter, but he often drives his own expeditions, and before the establishment of the capital, he dares to invite the king of Han to sit in Nanjing in the future! Don't risk your life again!

And also! This big political situation is a mess! There are many different types of official offices worn by officials, and there is a lot of overlap in the functions of various ministers. King Han must bow down to everything, but enjoy it! The courtiers often have nothing to do, Zhuge Kongming has a lesson from the past! Please think twice, Your Highness. ”

Li Yunzhong endured the discomfort, pressed the fire-resistant gas, got up and asked, "What do you say this big man should do?" ”

"Now that the Han Dynasty has opened a department to obtain scholars, there is no shortage of people who are officials, and the ministers have asked the Han King to establish a system after the Qing court, and these problems will be solved! Please think twice, Your Highness! ”

Li Yunzhong walked back and forth, originally his plan was to directly imitate the later generations to establish government functional departments, but later found that there were too few professional talents, and planned to find talents and establish various departments.

Now it seems that this practice is wrong, and not only does the subordinates not understand it, but it will also breed all kinds of problems, especially since there is no discipline department, and corruption and bribery of officials have become a common practice, which is very bad.

"Well, because what you say is reasonable, not only will I not punish you, but I will also listen to your advice and reward you heavily!"

Wang Qinglu bowed and said, "Your Highness Xie!" ”

Li Yunzhong plans to personally appoint the leaders of various departments, this is a good opportunity to show favor and win people's hearts, and he must not entrust others!

"Chief of Staff, how is the affairs of the militia handled, but what are the difficulties?"

Seeing that Wang Qinglu had made such a great contribution, Zhang Suimou's eyes were red, and when he saw that the King of Han was inquiring about militia affairs, he hurriedly expressed his merits and said: "Your Royal Highness, the affairs of the militia really came into being, not only supported by the central government, but also quickly implemented at the local level, and the people are even more enthusiastic to participate!" In just over a month, more than 200,000 people were recruited, and Governor Hu Yihuang also sent a special letter of thanks, saying that the General Staff Department had solved a big problem for Anhui!

In fact, this is the credit of the minister, it is all the strategy of His Royal Highness! ”

When Li Yunzhong heard that more than 200,000 yuan was recruited in a month, he asked in surprise: "You didn't disturb the people, right?" If production is delayed, the gains outweigh the losses! ”

Lin Daji replied with a smile: "The governors of various places often complain to their ministers: the people everywhere support the king of Han, and there are many people who want to join the Han army, but they can't recruit troops privately, so they can only symbolically select a few people from them, and then send the rest away."

Now the king of Han has ordered the formation of a militia team, which can not only reduce taxes for the people, but also provide food and shelter, and they will definitely participate! ”

Li Yunzhong, who was holding back his anger, made a concluding remark for today's deliberations: "Okay, it's not too early, I'll get here here today, and tomorrow I will announce the appointment and dismissal of some officials!" You have to be mentally prepared to inform the lower-level officials of this news as well! ”
