Chapter 43: A sense of foreboding

Jiao Liang has no choice but to take these two living treasures, he usually looks at five people and six people, how can he become like this as soon as he hears that he is an official, he doesn't know that his gaze at Li Yunzhong has also become naked, his subordinates are all prefects, I should at least be a political envoy, right? In the excitement, he didn't even hear Li Yunzhong's name for him.

Li Yunzhong discussed with Zuo Zongtang again, and said: "I have set the grades of each adjutant officer of the army commander, nine grades for squad leaders, eight grades for companies, seven grades for battalion commanders, six grades for regiment commanders, five grades for brigade commanders, four grades for division commanders, three grades for army commanders, two grades for governors and scholars, and one rank to be determined." ”

After speaking, he added: "Of course, in the future, there will be titles such as deputy adjutant, chief of staff, and staff officer, all of which are from several grades." ”

Zuo Zongtang admired: "The military attache has been appointed, what should the civil officials do?" ”

Li Yunzhong remembered the list of grassroots cadres elected by the People's Liberation Army in later generations. said: "This civil official and county magistrate and below are all elected by the people, don't you understand? Election means election. ”

Ling Shibai shook his head and said: "This promotion is not cheap for those landlords, they are powerful in the countryside, who dares to recommend others!" ”

Li Yunzhong explained: "It's not the landlords who nominate each other, it's the whole people who vote together, of course, it's a secret ballot, so that no one can find out and there will be no way to retaliate, so that the elected people are local prestige people, and it will be much easier to manage the place." ”

Seeing Ling 18 nodding and smiling, Li Yunzhong continued: "County officials, where there is a war, the army commander is concurrently servant, and the prefecture and county where there is no war use some demotion and scholars who have taken refuge. ”

Zuo Zongtang nodded and said: "Your Highness is wise, such a demote and a scholar must be grateful to His Highness, dare not do your best!" ”

Li Yunzhong talked about today's heavyweight topic: "The county government officials are at the provincial level, and the provincial level has a governor, the governor of military and political affairs, who is a second-rank official, and a civil affairs minister below, who is a second-rank official, who is specially assisted by the governor in managing civil affairs, and then a Ministry of Justice, whose minister is also a second-grade minister, who is responsible for local public security and adjudicating cases. ”

"Appointed Hu Yihuang as the governor of Anhui, Jiao Liang as the governor of Jiangxi, Zhang Suimou as the governor of Zhejiang, and Meng was promoted to the governor of Jiangsu." Li Yunzhong said.

When Jiao Liang heard that he was already the governor of Jiangxi, he clenched his fists excitedly, but he didn't expect that I, Jiao Liang, could also become the governor and governor, and the choice to take refuge in the King of Han was really right.

Li Yunzhong saw that everyone did not object, and said: "The central government first only set up a cabinet and a military department, the cabinet is responsible for administrative work, the military department is responsible for war, Zhang Weikun is the secretary of the military department, and Lin Daji is the cabinet secretary, both of which are second-grade. ”

"Report, Your Highness, Qing General Xiang Rongyi led his troops from Zhenjiang to Nanjing, and the vanguard has arrived at Xiaolingwei" The herald came in to inform everyone of the military situation.

"What! Xiang Rong, why is he so bold and dares to attack the city? Ling Eighteen said angrily.

Jiao Liang said: "It seems that Xianfeng has no way out, we have been repairing in Nanjing this month, not going to Zhenjiang, Xianfeng Lao'er can't sit still, thinking that we will be satisfied if we capture Nanjing, hum ......"

Zuo Zongtang proposed: "Why don't we go outside Nanjing City first, Xiaolingwei is not far from the east gate." ”

Li Yunzhong nodded in agreement, and asked Li Xiucheng to lead the first division as an escort and everyone to the east gate thirty miles away, and sure enough, he saw that the Qing army had set up a camp at the Purple Mountain.

Zuo Zongtang took a closer look and wondered: "The Qing army is not like the people who came to attack the city, but it is a bit like building a city, what is the use of them building such a strong camp under the city of Nanjing." ”

Li Yunzhong tried to think about whether there was such a thing in history, this is too bold, 80,000 people stayed under the city of Nanjing, Xiang Rong couldn't sleep, and I couldn't sleep steadily! Suddenly thinking of the Jiangnan camp, Li Yunzhong said angrily: "It's not good, they are going to besiege Nanjing here for a long time!" Immediately go back to the city and transfer troops to level me here. After speaking, Li Yunzhong took the lead in turning the horse's head and heading towards the city.

Li Yunzhong, who was on the road, remembered that in history, the Qing army had hoarded heavy troops in Yangzhou, Jiangbei Province, and established the Jiangbei Battalion, which echoed each other and surrounded Tianjing to death, putting the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in a strategic passive position at once, and the two large battalions played a decisive role in exterminating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Zuo Zongtang persuaded: "Your Royal Highness must not lose a big because of a small loss, now Jiangxi, southern Jiangsu, northern Jiangsu have not been captured, as the saying goes: those who come are not good do not come, such as gathering heavy troops to attack the official army camp outside the city, it will take a long time, Nanjing's food and salary will all rely on Anhui supply, and the Yangtze River water army is now no match for several major water divisions of the imperial court, when the grain road is blocked, our hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians can only be captured. ”

Ling 18 reprimanded angrily: "How can you, a scholar, raise the enemy's morale and destroy your own prestige, don't let Your Highness go out, I will lead the Fifth Army with a few thousand people to break through the camp outside the city." ”

Among the brothers, only Ling Eighteen was the military commander, and the youngest of the official titles must have felt uncomfortable, although the brothers knew that Daolin was eighteen years old and bragging, they could not reprimand him for adding fuel to the fire.

Li Yunzhong didn't think Zuo Zongtang was alarmist, and he couldn't make up his mind for a while, whether to divide his troops to attack the city first, or concentrate his troops to destroy the Jiangnan camp first.

Zuo Zongtang said solemnly: "Please think twice, it is not an overnight achievement to eliminate the large camp outside the city, the purpose of the Qing court to build the camp is to hope that His Royal Highness will deploy all the troops around Nanjing in order to protect the south of the Yangtze River." ”

Li Yunzhong said: "It's really a word to wake up the dreamer, I almost missed a big thing, Napoleon once said: Never do what the enemy wants you to do." Didn't the Qing army want me to attack the camp outside the city! I just can't get them right. ”

Although all the governors, army commanders, and division commanders didn't understand who Napoleon was, they all listened with bated breath when they saw that the king of Han was going to give orders, for fear of revealing a wrong word.

Li Yunzhong looked around and said in a loud voice: "I order, the Second Army immediately crosses the river to attack Yangzhou, focusing on defending the line from Chuzhou to Yangzhou." ”

Luo Xuan replied: "Obey the order, take Li Shixian and Tan Shaoguang to the garrison of the Second Army." ”

Li Yunzhong looked at Ling Eighteen and said, "After the navy transports the second army across the Jiangbei, the fifth army will go down the river by boat, capture Zhenjiang and Changzhou, and cut off the retreat of the Rongsuo department outside the city. ”

Ling Shibai said: "Your Highness, rest assured, the Fifth Army has captured the two mansions, and it will not be captured." ”

Li Yunzhong saw Ling 18 out of the hall, hesitated, or left a room of governors and military commanders to chase after him, and stopped Ling 18 at the gate of the palace, seeing that there were no people entering and leaving, he said: "Third brother, I know that you are wronged, but do you know that among the brothers of Lu Dao, why only let you be the commander?" ”

Ling Eighteen slapped his chest and said excitedly: "I, Ling Eighteen, rebelled with His Highness not for glory and wealth, I hated the Manchu Tartars, and rebelled for the sake of a good life for the people of the world." ”

Li Yunzhong sighed: "I don't know when, several of our brothers have also become rusty, you don't call me seventh brother anymore, no matter whether there is someone or not, every day His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is called, you know that I am in my heart...... It's so uncomfortable. ”

Ling 18 said: "When we were not in Hunan, the eldest brother came to us and said: Seventh brother, you are the king of Han, and it is inappropriate for us to call you seventh brother again, on the one hand, it will damage your authority, and on the other hand, it will seem that we are proud of our achievements or something, so we discussed and changed our words together." ”

Li Yunzhong smiled bitterly: "The eldest brother is really, he hurt the feelings of the brothers in vain. ”

"I'm a rough person, I don't want other brothers to be able to assist the seventh brother to achieve great things, what I do best is to fight and kill, I am already content if you let me be the commander of the army, I am afraid that I will lose the battle I am sorry for the kindness of the seventh brother, you still let me be the head of the regiment, then I still feel at ease." Ling Eighteen finally said what was in his heart.

Li Yunzhong persuaded: "Nonsense, the two division commanders I chose for you, Chen Chengying is lively, good at attacking and defending, Lin Shaozhang is also considered both civil and military, and thoughtful, these two people I will use a lot in the future, put them under your command, they will be grateful to you when they are promoted in the future, third brother, you ...... It's good to listen to them more in the future. Somehow, Li Yun had an ominous premonition, and tears were about to flow down unconsciously.

Ling 18 saw a patrolling soldier walking by, and said with a smile: "Your Highness, don't worry, if you don't say that I will do the same, I will definitely fight the entire Jiangnan and make you happy." After Ling Eighteen finished speaking, he walked out of the palace and headed towards the barracks.

Li Yunzhong's tears that he had endured for a long time finally fell.
