Chapter Ninety-Three: Jiang Zhongyuan and Zeng Guofan

Li Yunzhong has answered this question countless times: "This is a mistake, the Qing Dynasty has been established for more than 200 years, the land annexation is serious, the people are displaced, the clothes are not covered and the food is not hungry, and the sale of children and daughters also happens from time to time, even if the foreigners do not come to invade, this is also the time to change the dynasty. ”

Wu Changqing was silent, Liu Bingzhang went into battle: "No, the emperors of the Qing Dynasty are all British masters, the Holy Ancestor Kangxi, the ancestor Yongzhengye, and the Gaozong Qianlong Ye are the three who created the prosperous Kangqian era for more than 100 years, which is unique in history, although the first emperor Daoguang is not as good as the previous ones, he is also a virtuous monarch, and the emperor is more diligent in state affairs, wise and decisive, which proves that the Qing Dynasty can continue for eternity, how can it be said that the dynasty has changed?" If it is a faint monarch like the Ming Dynasty, we don't need His Highness's persuasion, we will also follow His Highness to create the Qingping world. ”

It seems that these people are stupid to read! It seems that they have to use their ancestor Confucius to deal with them, Li Yunzhong said: "Confucius said: Yidi has a king, it is better to die in Zhuxia, the Manchurians have always been the people of Yidi, not my Chinese descendants, they do everything possible to restrict the freedom of our Han people, enslave the spirit of the Han people, like a literary prison, braided clothes...... Which one is not to cut off the inheritance of my Han people, in the long run, who still knows what their ancestors look like! The Manchu family is said to be a Manchu family, but which Han people are trusted, and the Manchu emperors of the past dynasties trust the Manchu ministers after all.

The person I admire the most is Lin Zexu, but unfortunately he was exiled to Xinjiang by Daoguang Xiaoer and abandoned, and Wang Ding, the minister of military aircraft, committed suicide because of humiliation. This is your example! ”

Li Hongzhang had the intention to angrily reprimand Li Yunzhong for spreading rumors, and suddenly reacted. smiled: "These are all rumors, folk rumors." Lord Wang Ding died violently at home, it was an accident, as for the Qing Emperor's trust in the Manchurians, this is also human nature, as long as the courtiers are always loyal, one day the emperor's views will be changed, and the Manchus and Hans are truly a family. ”

"Sir, I'm afraid I don't believe it, the foreigners are strong, just a little lesson to the Qing Dynasty, Daoguang hurriedly paid compensation everywhere. apologized to the foreigners, and the people were dissatisfied with life and rebelled, so he strictly ordered the officials to slaughter and suppress it, which is obviously a practice of preferring friends to not domestic slaves! He regarded thousands of our Han people as slaves, and I, Li Yunzhong, did not want to be slaves, and the tens of millions of people of the Han Dynasty did not want to be slaves anymore, so he followed me to build a real Han power. Li Yunzhong was a little disappointed, it seemed that words alone could not convince a few of them. Or take them to the territory of Dahan to feel it.

Li Hongzhang is also poor in words, and he is unwilling to admit defeat and can only use strong words, which is more difficult to convince the thief than to be admitted to the Jinshi. It seems that this Li Yunzhong has made up his mind to submit me, this is my chance, I must think about it carefully. It's good to answer, and I'll stop in a hurry today.

Under the castle of Hukou

Zeng Guofan realized that he had made a big mistake. Attacking Hukou when Jiujiang was not conquered, the Hunan army's rear road was threatened by Shorthair at all times. Since Hu Linyi, who was besieging Jiujiang, retreated to Ruichang County, this danger became more and more urgent, and he had to leave half of his troops to defend Jiangzhou Town, in case the thieves suddenly attacked from behind.

"Commander Qiyu, Jiangxi Governor Jiang asks to see."

"Please!" Zeng Guofan put down the map and didn't understand why Jiang Zhongyuan had left Nanchang City.

"Sir, I haven't seen each other for five years since I left Jingshi, and the student is really ashamed." As soon as Jiang Zhongyuan entered the tent, he gave the gift of the younger generation, and when he was playing in Beijing, he worshipped Zeng Guofan as a teacher and was instructed by him, so he called him Mr.

Zeng Guofan comforted: "When you were in Guangxi and Hunan to suppress thieves, I was still an official in Beijing, and when I went to Hunan to train troops, you had already gone to Hubei and Jiangxi to suppress thieves, this is not to blame you, they are all serving the country and sharing worries for the emperor, by the way, why did you come here?" Could it be that Nanchang City has been ......?"

Jiang Zhongyuan saw that the teacher had misunderstood, so he quickly put away his thoughts and explained: "I received a holy decree a few days ago, and the emperor has changed me to be the governor of Anhui and asked me to go to work immediately. ”

Zeng Guofan was both happy and disappointed, happy that his student official had done a bigger job than himself, which proved that he had not seen the wrong person, and disappointed that since Jiang Zhongyuan, who was far away in Nanchang, had received the holy decree, he had no news here to prove that he had not been appointed as the governor of Jiangxi.

Jiang Zhongyuan saw that the teacher's face was strange, and comforted: "The new governor of Jiangxi is an old acquaintance of Master Chen Qimai, Master Chen, he is from Hunan like us, and he will cooperate with Mr. to suppress the thief." ”

Zeng Guofan put away the mixed thoughts in his chest, and warned Jiang Zhongyuan: "Anhui is not as good as Jiangxi, where the Hunan army does not have the slightest strength, and you are going to work alone, you can't open the situation at the beginning, it should be, you must not be in a hurry, and the Qing Green Battalion has been completely corrupted, and they can't keep Anhui by relying on them. ”

"Yes, the student understands, Mr. should also be vigilant, Jiangxi short-haired has become a climate, when I came, I found that short-haired is gathering towards Poyang County, Mr. must be careful, I suspect that their target is not Nanchang, but the Hunan army." Jiang Zhongyuan remembered the news when he was leaving, so he told Zeng Guofan.

"What! Jiangxi's short hair is also coming towards the Hunan army! How is this good, yesterday I received news that Anhui's short-haired army has gathered in Anqing, and the striker has arrived in Pengze County, I thought they were just moving normally, but I didn't expect that they had already planned and came to the Hunan army! Zeng Guofan had an ominous premonition that the Hunan army was already in danger.

Jiang Zhongyuan also felt that something was wrong, and persuaded: "Mr. should temporarily retreat and return to Hubei, which can not only avoid the edge of the short hair, but also reorganize the Hunan army. ”

Zeng Guofan shook his head and said: "No, if I return to Hubei, won't it hurt you and Lord Chen, Shorthair has no scruples, and will definitely attack Nanchang and Anhui with all his might, besides, the emperor ordered me to go east to Jiangxi to suppress thieves, and if I fled back to Hubei before this battle was fought, wouldn't I let the people of the world laugh at me for adding someone." ”

Jiang Zhongyuan was so moved that he bowed and said: "Sir's great kindness, the student will never dare to forget, I wanted to serve Mr. by Mr.'s side, but the king has a life, and the student can only be loyal first and then filial piety, and the student has left." ”

Zeng Guofan took Jiang Zhongyuan's hand and sent it to the river, seeing that Jiang Zhongyuan only had 500 guards around him, and he had relatives in his heart, until the ship disappeared into the sky, he returned to the camp full of anxiety and prepared to fight. (To be continued......)
