Lu Jianying and Chang Dachun also opened their eyes this year, understood the advanced points of foreigners, and sighed: "Could it be that the Heavenly Empire is the upper country, and only by learning from Yangyi can we become strong!" ”

Chang Dachun listened to Lu Jianying's exclamation, and his face was also relative.

Li Yunzhong didn't know how to answer them, did he tell them that slavery was replaced by feudalism, feudalism was replaced by capitalism, and capitalism was replaced by communism.

I'm afraid that if I say it, Lu Jianying will be the first to turn against him.

Li Yunzhong saw that they were depressed, so he could only try to comfort them: "Middle school is the body, Western learning is for use, we just learn the advanced places of foreigners, and go to their worst, just like Wei Yuan said, master Yi's long skills to control them!" It's not a wholesale rejection of Chinese culture. ”

"Master Yi's long skills to control Yi?" Lu Jianying seemed to have an understanding, understood Li Yunzhong's good intentions, and sincerely complimented: "The emperor doesn't have to be like this, we are not old people, as long as the emperor thinks it makes sense, we as courtiers can only support the emperor, after all, the world is the emperor!" ”

Li Yunzhong lamented: Talking for a long time is equivalent to saying in vain, how can this world be me?

Zeng Guofan felt that he had no direction to struggle, and in Hubei, he finally drove away Yang Pei and came to the official document again; In Jiangxi, Chen Qimai was impeached and dismissed, and Wen Jun was replaced, the emperor was too ignorant, Zeng Guofan decided to go home for a while, and when the building was about to collapse, he came out again to be ordered to bargain.

Guo Songtao watched Zeng Guofan pack up the salute, and persuaded him for the last time: "Why should the handsome man be like this, my aunt passed away, and we are very sad." However, the situation in Jiangxi is critical, and it cannot be saved unless the marshal. Why go back to Hunan? ”

Feeling that he was unofficial and light, Zeng Guofan took a deep breath. said to the generals in the room: "My son did not fulfill his filial piety during his mother's lifetime, and has been running around, and now that his mother has passed away, can I not be around to keep filial piety!" ”

Zhu Sunyi has been promoted to Jiangxi's envoy, so he has a deep affection for Jiangxi, and echoed everyone: "The handsome can win love, now the Hunan army can't leave the marshal, and Jiangxi can't leave the marshal!" Think twice! ”

Guo Songtao followed and persuaded: "Yes, Dashuai." If you apply for love, the emperor will definitely approve it, so that you can avoid criticism from the world, and the handsome man must consider the people of the world! ”

Zeng Guofan had made up his mind this time, he was too disappointed in Xianfeng, and when he used the Hunan army, he persuaded him softly, and promised a lot of benefits, and when he didn't need the Hunan army, he threw Zeng Guofan aside. Regardless of whether you ask, the position of governor promised before has also fallen to someone else, and it is the title of squire who runs a group to practice, and now it is still the title of squire. The generals under his command have all been promoted higher than him, which makes him embarrassed.

"I have already talked to Lord Hu Linyi, the governor of Hubei, about the situation in Jiangxi, and he will send someone to command. You cooperate well, don't because of the conflict of will. And ruined the friendship between me and Master Hu! ”

Seeing that Zeng Guofan was determined to leave, Guo Songtao was in a hurry. simply broke the jar and said bluntly: "The Hunan army was created by the marshal, without the marshal, the Hunan army is no longer the Hunan army!" Since the adults only care about the rewards they can't get and return to their hometowns, this greatly violates our original intention of establishing the Hunan Army! Then we might as well return to the field as soon as possible and return to the township, lest the big man get the world and settle accounts with us after the autumn! ”

Zeng Guofan was damaged by Guo Songtao breathless, coughed a few times, as a physicist, he attaches the most importance to the word integrity in his life, and usually 'integrity' does not leave his mouth, listening to Guo Songtao's sarcasm that he forgets his righteousness, is angry, and can't calm down for a long time, and has a little more mustard in his heart for Guo Songtao, or pretending to reply: "Officials have parents who are mourning, and they must return to their hometowns to keep filial piety, this is a common practice, how can I violate it because of me?" You hurry back to the camp to lead the troops, now the short-haired Li Yunzhong is the emperor, busy with the great heroes, Jiangxi Governor Zhao Liewen has just arrived in Jiangxi, you must also be familiar with the military situation and civilian, there is no war for the time being, you don't have to worry. ”

Everyone saw that Zeng Guofan had brought a few servants and disappeared into everyone's sights, and their hearts became helpless.

When Hu Linyi was first promoted to the governor of Hubei, he could command less than 10,000 Hunan troops, but after five months, the Yongding army expanded to 20,000, seven months later, it reached 30,000, and ten months later, it surged to 40,000, and now there are 50,000 Hunan troops in Hubei alone, which has already exceeded the total number of people in the Zeng Guofan period.

To support this huge team, of course, a large amount of silver is needed, 300,000 taels of silver are needed every month, and there are 3.6 million taels a year, Hu Linyi has long understood that it is easy to recruit Yong in the Qing Dynasty, it is difficult to support, and there is no Yong Ding who cannot be recruited with silver money, if he can't maintain it after being recruited, he can't pay his salary, and instead of being obedient, he will force the official to pay his salary, causing trouble everywhere, the last battle of Wuchang. Hu Linyi has a deep understanding of this.

Zeng Guofan said well, to be the god of war, first invite the god of wealth, Hu Linyi has thought of all the ways, Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, Hunan every year to provide food and salary for the Hunan army in Hubei, he also reformed including land endowment, donation, salt tax and other items, until Xuzhou Qishan came up with the policy of centigold, the Hunan army was on the right track.

In just one year, Wuhan, run by Hu Linyi, has become the second base camp of the Hunan army.

Luo Zenan walked into the big tent and said to the pensive Hu Linyi: "My lord, the lower officials estimate that there is not much grain and grass left in Wuchang City, is it now attacking the city?" ”

Hu Linyi said: "Don't worry, this time our Hunan army must annihilate the Changmao into the formation in Hubei, last time to conquer Wuchang, let the main force of Changmao escape, this is the result of Wuchang falling back to thieves, wait until Chunting conquers Hanchuan, and then conquer Wuchang is not too late!" ”

Luo Zenan hurriedly said: "Jiangxi came to report, the short hair is armed with weapons, it seems that it intends to capture Nanchang, Jiangxi is the frontier position of Hubei, if it is lost, Hubei will be shocked three times a day, talk about annihilating the anti-thieves, I am afraid that it will be a problem to hold the huge Hubei!" ”

Hu Linyi exclaimed: "Since there is something happening in Nanchang, the matter of the Wuchang War will be resolved quickly!" Since ancient times, there is no good strategy for attacking the city, we can't just take advantage of it like last time, you lead the troops to attack the north gate, and I lead the army to feint the remaining two city walls, leaving only the Wenchang gate not to attack. ”

Luo Zenan took the order and left.

Since Qin Rigang crowned the king of Yan, Wei Jun has been crazy with jealousy, and he knows that it is impossible for the king of the Dao Heaven to crown the two brothers of the Wei family as kings at the same time, but this time to conquer Wuchang is all the credit of him Wei Jun, for what Qin Rigang is the king!

Looking at Wei Changhui's letter in his hand, Wei Jun hesitated, saying that something big would happen in Tianjing and asking him to preserve his strength. (To be continued......)
