The four-color stick promised the Nanyang minister with privileges, Wen Qing and Mu Yin were naturally a little tired, but Peng Yunzhang didn't speak, and Du Han couldn't speak, and the words of the two just now hurt the emperor again, so the two of them could only wait and see helplessly.

For the emperor of the four-color stick, for the Qing court, Yang Meng's resignation is not a bad thing, after all, the power in the hands of Yang Sange is too great, and it is not a blessing to let Yang Sange control the military and political affairs in Jiangnan for a long time.

But for the situation in Jiangnan, without the killer weapon of Yang Sange, Zeng Zuo and Shi Dakai's department formed a stalemate around Anqing, and the rookies of the long-haired thieves Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng attacked the city in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Although the power of the training of the five provincial water divisions was handed over to Yang Yi, the second brother of Yang Sange, this Yang Yi is only a disciple of Lin Zexu, Lin Zexu has not made much achievements in military affairs, and he is a good hand, and he is afraid that there is no hope for leading the troops.

The courtiers all said that Zeng Zuo was available, but against Shi Dakai in Anqing, Zeng Zuo fell into a stalemate; The courtiers all said that Yang San could not be used, but since the three towns of Wuhan led the troops, Yang Sange has not tasted defeat, what about Shi Dakai, is it not in the hands of Yang Sange?

Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui and Jiangxi are all the food sources of the imperial court, the land of finance and taxation, and the long-term war is very unfavorable to the imperial court. With the heart of the frightened, not to use the heart of the heart is unbearable, helpless!

But today's situation, the British and French Yangyi are not much smaller than the danger of the long-haired thief, Anqing should have been able to go down overnight, but Yingyi's batch of foreign guns and foreign cannons. The situation in Anqing has reached an impasse.

The most frightening thing for the four-color stick is. The Crimean war reported by Yang Sange. What kind of scale was the war of two million people to destroy the country?

The British and French Yangyi, since they can use troops in Oros thousands of miles away, they can't use troops in the Qing Dynasty, which is far away from the ocean, the long-haired thief, the British and French Yangyi, Yang Sange mentioned the river project, to advocate the Xianfeng prosperous world, because the British and French Yangyi moved into stagnation. This is also due to the fact that the four-colored stick is not angry.

The situation in the south of the Yangtze River, the British, French and foreign countries, and the Tianjin Wei who had just left Lingji Li were also a huge loophole in Gyeonggi, but the imperial court now had no money to send, and there were still 30 million catties of Yunnan copper in Yunnan, but the canal was silted up and the Yangtze River was cut off, which also made this batch of Yunnan copper an unattainable object.

It was distributed to the green camp and brave camp in various places on the spot, and the imperial court was not reconciled, since the green camp and brave camp could still support it. You can't use the batch of Yunnan copper.

The edict to transfer Third Brother Yang was issued, and the heart of the four-colored stick was still a little up. For the imperial court, the current situation in Jiangnan is even more important!

"Minister of the South Seas? The four-color stick will have some empty checks, and after all, this Nanyang minister has no affordable objects at all, but Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong are places where we have not set foot on a large scale, and I don't know what it can do this time?

Commander, how is your grand strategy going? Yu Biao's battle method Lao Tzu took a look, and the requirements for soldiers were quite high, which was a little out of place! ”

The Nanyang minister agreed by the imperial court, the power is relatively satisfactory to meet Yang Meng's needs, although the real power is not much, but the scope of jurisdiction is not small, and others may not do anything, but if they do this Nanyang minister, the governor of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian and Guangdong, will rely on their own snort to do things.

"Third master, the matter of grand strategy, you must already have eyebrows, Yu Biao's tactics have also been seen, and my tactics are almost the same as his.

Since Yu Biao's tactics are not satisfied with the third master, presumably the commander's tactics are not in the eyes of the third master, according to the meaning of the third master, the chief guessed, but to use the iron bucket used by Zeng Laojiu in Anqing to surround it? ”

Although Yu Biao was told the requirement of formulating a strategy, Yu Biao's strategy was still based on attack, and with the combat strength of the official army, it was not helpful to defend the city, and there was no way to attack.

"You save trouble, look at Zeng Laojiu's tactics, this is a little simpler!

But the meaning is not much different, and now there are three available troops in Jiangnan, about 80,000 people, Zeng Zuo's Hunan and Chu Second Army 60,000 people, encircling Anqing, at least more than 20,000 people, containing Shi Dakai's troops in Anhui is almost more than 20,000, containing Jiangxi's Wei Changhui, Zeng Disheng's more than 20,000 people are not enough, Anhui is holding Tianjing, Jiangxi is connected to Fujian and Zhejiang, once Zeng Zuo's main force has a problem, Anqing is a dream empty flower.

Luzhou, Anhui provincial capital, can break the connection between the opening of Shida and northern Anhui; Chuzhou and Luzhou take care of each other, which can cut off the connection between Tianjing and Anqing; Nanchang and Jiangxi provincial capitals can cut off the connection between Wei Changhui and western Jiangxi; Huizhou and Nanchang take care of each other, which can cut off the connection between the main force of Anqing Shida and Tianjing's Taiping Army and Jiangxi.

Luzhou, Chuzhou, Nanchang, Huizhou, these four cities, can snipe thousands of Xiangyong, Chu Yong, supplemented by the local green battalion, Yong battalion, the Taiping army to attack the city, then the green battalion, Yong battalion as the main force to defend the city; When the Taiping army crossed, the second army of Hunan and Chu was the main force to attack and annihilate it!

Zeng Zuo's men and horses, the main task of the next period of time is to clear the Taiping army outside these points, annihilate or drive them into the encirclement, after that, with Chuzhou, Luzhou, Anqing, Huizhou as the point, the neighboring states and counties as the line, must not let the Taiping army cross the thunder pool one step!

In this way, most of the two lakes and Anhui and Jiangxi will not be invaded by the military disaster.

Jiangsu, with Taizhou as the fulcrum, and the remnants of the Jiangbei camp of Tuo Ming'a as the main force, blocked the northward advance of the Taiping army, and even Chuzhou surrounded Yangzhou, trapping the Taiping army in the south of the Yangtze River.

Zhejiang, with Huzhou and Jiaxing as the fulcrum, connects Xuancheng and Huizhou in Anhui, and blocks the Taiping army in eastern Anhui and northern Zhejiang.

In addition, the remnants of the Jiangnan battalion led by He Chun took Changzhou as the fulcrum, connected Taizhou, and cut off the eastward march of the Taiping army; Connecting Xuancheng and Huzhou, the Taiping Army entered the road south into Jiangsu and Zhejiang; Wuxi, Suzhou, Jiaxing in the north, guarding the grain source of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, the land of finance and taxation!

In this way, the Taiping Army can be divided into two major parts, the three provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui are the main force of Tianjing and Shi Dakai's department, and Jiangxi is only left with Wei Changhui's department.

If Zeng Disheng is capable and can drive Wei Changhui's troops out of Jiangxi, the momentum of this iron bucket encirclement will be achieved! ”

Three encirclements were drawn on the map, one large, two small. Yang Meng's grand strategy. There is also a simple road map. But this is similar to the location planned by Yu Biao and Xu Ziwei, and Xu Ziwei did not see the cleverness of the strategy.

"The Third Master ......"

Xu Ziwei was a little nervous and stopped, this strategy is not only a route, if there are 80,000 brave battalions like Xiangchu, this thing can be done with Tuo Ming'a, Hechun, no matter how good the route and city. They can't hold it!

"Zeng Zuo's Hunan and Chu Second Army, more than 60,000; The remnants of the two battalions of Jiangnan and Jiangbei in Tominga and Hechun, with more than 40,000; The green battalions, training bravery, and reinforcements in the four provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are at least around 100,000.

In the two provinces of Anhui and Jiangxi, there is Zeng Zuo in the town, with the local green camp and practice bravery, it is not difficult to stabilize Anhui and Jiangxi!

However, Tuo Ming'a and Hechun in Jiangsu and Zhejiang were not able to be used, and they used them to defend the city, besiege the city, and make up their lives to attack the Taiping army. I'm afraid it's also a cowardice of losing consecutive battles!

Now that there is a shortage of brave soldiers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, I think Feng Guifen, a student of Lin Laohu, is a good choice. If 10,000 of the sailors are split out, placed in the areas of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and cooperate with Tuo Ming'a and Hechun to build an encirclement, it should be more than enough!

The remaining 10,000 sailors are trained in a battalion of 500 people, divided into 20 battalions, supplemented, trained, and rectified, and the green battalions and brave battalions in the four provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are also available.

As for the sailor group training, it will be built after it is dispersed! ”

Don't underestimate the 500 people trained by the water division, with these 500 people, you can defend a county seat, and the 20 teams of men and horses are 20 states and counties, plus Zeng Disheng, Zuo Jigao, Tuo Minga, Hechun and the green battalions of the provinces, and a newly built sailor regimental training, the iron bucket will be encircled!

"The third master is clever, if the water division group training is dispersed, the weakness of the insufficient combat effectiveness of the green battalion and the brave battalion in the provinces will be gone, promote a Feng Guifen, disperse the twenty battalion of the water division group training, and in the future, this Jiangnan will really be the world of the Yang family."

Disperse the sailor group training, it is something that Yu Biao and Xu Ziwei dare not think of, such a choice, only Yang Sanye can make a decision, in this way, the army in Jiangnan will be controlled by the third master, and there is an army in his hands, and it is self-evident that Jiangnan belongs.

"Gao Ming is Gao Ming, but so many people and horses, the need for food is countless, pay, we can afford it, but I dare not make it clear, I want to use 10 million catties of Yunnan copper as the military salary first, and then the provincial salary to make up for it, I don't know if the court will agree?"

Figuring out the thoughts of the imperial court, Yang Meng alone is a little weak, coupled with the analysis of Xu Ziwei and Wei Wu, this side can roughly understand the pulse of the imperial court, once the decision is improper, the iron bucket is in vain.

"If you directly use Yunnan copper, the imperial court may not agree, but the loan is different, we might as well first go up to the fold to borrow five million catties of Yunnan copper, mainly to Jiangsu and Zhejiang Tomin and Chun, and then let the military pay of Tomina and Chun in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, in a short period of time to make up for the deficit of Yunnan copper.

This Jiangsu and Zhejiang are not our territory, Tuo Ming'a and Hechun have won our military salary, and they will naturally spare no effort when they are paid, and the salary to supplement the deficit of the imperial court is also a political achievement for the two of them, and it is impossible for the two of them not to die!

In the past two years, Jiangsu and Zhejiang have been in turmoil, and after the large-scale assistance, the burden of the people will inevitably increase.

In this way, we will use the silver of the imperial court to make up for the deficit of the imperial court, and at the same time, we can also make the imperial court lose the hearts of the people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.

Moreover, today's Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Qingrui, and Liangjiang Governor Yiliang, are also Manchu ministers, as long as the operation is done properly, let Tuo Ming'a, Hechun, Qingrui, Yiliang, and the four of them partner up for large-scale compensation, which is also a huge blow to the hearts of the imperial court in Jiangnan.

After these four people teamed up, they could also give some warnings to the Han members of the imperial court, the Manchu people would partner up, and the Han people would have to partner up, and the Manchu and Han disputes could also make a fuss. ”

Borrowing Yunnan copper, using Tuo Ming'a, Hechun, Qingrui, and Yiliang to cooperate, Xu Ziwei's strategy is very good, it is in line with Yang Meng's temperament, in this way, he can also take the opportunity to give Zeng Disheng and Zuo Jigao some assistance, and after pushing Feng Guifen in Jiangsu, the situation of the confrontation between Jiangnan and Manchu and Han is almost completed.

"Hmmm! The plan is quite good, so that not only Feng Guifen is enabled, but also can take the opportunity to transfer Rao Tingxuan to Feng Guifen's account to serve his life, presumably there is still a lot to be done in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Send a telegram to Mr. Wei in Yunnan to see what his attitude is, and if it is feasible, the two of you will prepare an excerpt and hand it over, and I will still be able to stay in Jiujiang during this time. ”

The use of the old department of the forest system, first, Shen Baozhen, Feng Guifen, and Rao Tingxuan are available, the second is to win over a small group for the second brother, and the third can give the court and courtiers the impression that he Yang Meng will not only repay him, but also know that he will repay his kindness.

If the plan is successful, Shen Baozhen in Hunan, Feng Guifen and Rao Tingxuan in Jiangsu, and Yang Yi, the second brother in Jiujiang, can form a large force.

"Third master, should we discuss this matter of subsidizing military salaries again? Instead of us contributing money and efforts, it is better to cooperate on a large scale in Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang, after all, this military expenditure is not a small amount! ”

The military salary is often tens of millions, and once the matter in Guangzhou is stalemate, Yang Sanye will have to take on a heavy burden for the Yang family again.

"Some things have to be done in moderation, once it is excessive, it is possible to force the people of Jiangnan to the command of the Taiping Army, in this way, we are giving up the big and the small, it is very unwise!

Recently, let our business pay close attention to the people's livelihood in the four provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Zhejiang. ”

Sometimes it is too much, once the strength of the assistance is too large, and the people are overwhelmed, they will rise up, which is very contrary to Yang Meng's original intention. (To be continued......)
