Chapter Seventy-Seven: Hu Mengjun Shows What He Has Learned
Xie Lu Xie Eternal Empire's rewards, collections, and recommendations.
Hu Mengjun was happy when he heard that Li Yunzhong was willing to go to Panyang, this Panyang was only 50 miles away from Jingdezhen, and the short hair could come at any time, so he must leave this group of cavalry in Panyang, and at the same time complained in his heart that this Zeng Guofan did not leave some troops to defend Panyang, and he had to worry about it all day long.
Hu Mengjun pointed to the county seat in front of him and said: "General, Panyang County is ahead, I will immediately send someone to open the way for the general." β
Li Yunzhong replied: "Don't worry, can there be anti-thief activities nearby?" β
The general was really cautious, it seemed that he couldn't be fooled, Hu Mengjun said: "Don't hide it from the general, the passage to Zhejiang here has long been captured by Shorthair, and if you go to Jiangnan with such fanfare, you will definitely be intercepted by the thieves, so it is better to temporarily station in Panyang County......"
Li Yunzhong pretended not to agree, waved his hand and said: "No, the military order is like a sand mountain, and you will be killed!" Besides, if you don't kill the enemy and make meritorious contributions, how can you be promoted to an official position and make a fortune. β
"If a general becomes a guerrilla general at such a young age, he must have experienced a hundred battles and made many achievements, and the guerrilla is a third-class official."
Hu Mengjun's eyes were red with envy, the other party was not a few years older than him, and his official position was six levels higher than his father.
Li Yunzhong smiled reluctantly: "They are all promoted by Shangguan, like my old acquaintance Zhang Guoliang and Admiral Zhang, who was just the general manager under me two years ago, and now he has become the governor of Jiangnan, from a product!" β
Hu Mengjun was even more convinced in his heart that he wanted to follow this general, and this casual merit was better than being admitted to the Jinshi.
Everyone was introduced by Hu Mengjun and entered Panyang County without hindrance, and the pedestrians on the streets got out of the way one after another and pointed at Li Yunzhong's cavalry.
Li Yunzhong looked at the bustling streets and was surprised: "This Panyang County is quite prosperous, there are so many restaurants and inns on the market, there must be a lot of oil and water in the county." β
Hu Mengjun sneered and said: "The general doesn't know, the big families in Panyang County are all inextricable, and the relationship is even more intertwined, even my father doesn't dare to offend any of them easily, and besides, my father has always been honest as an official, how can he be corrupt and take bribes!" β
Li Yunzhong smiled and said nothing, are there still honest officials in this Qing Dynasty? Only forced to be incorruptible!
When everyone came to the county office, Hu Mengjun took Li Yun to find his father Hu Kuan, and introduced: "Dad, this is General Li, a guerrilla master of the Guangdong Foshan Association. β
When Hu Kuan heard that the other party was a guerrilla, he immediately swallowed the words asking for the certificate, hugged his fists and said: "Hu Kuan, the magistrate of Panyang County, has seen an adult!" β
Li Yunzhong also saluted: "The magistrate of the county is exempt, without prior notice, and came rashly, please forgive the magistrate." β
Although Zhilu Dao's son was shrewd, Hu Kuan still asked: "I don't know how many people the general has brought over, and the lower officials can arrange it." β
Hu Mengjun preemptively said: "Master Li only brought five hundred people, he is ruthless, Dad, you can rest assured!" β
Hearing that there were only 500 people, Hu Kuan relieved himself and said, "There is a vacant land in the south of the city, if the general doesn't dislike it, how about arranging his subordinates there?" β
Li Yunzhong shook his head: "When I came, I noticed that there were no soldiers and horses stationed in Panyang County, it was very dangerous!" I think they should be sent to guard the city wall, what do you think the county lord. β
Hearing that the other party wanted to guard the city wall, Hu Kuan couldn't ask for it, and immediately promised: "Why not, then bother the general, I will go to prepare a banquet and wash the dust for the general!" β
He turned his head to Hu Mengjun and said, "Jun'er, you entertain General Li first for your husband." β
Hu Mengjun nodded and said to Li Yunzhong: "General Li, please." β
Li Yunzhong ordered his subordinates to take over the city wall, and the two came to the living room again and sat down.
"What does the general think of the situation in the Qing Dynasty?" Hu Mengjun had the heart to show himself and took the lead in asking.
Li Yunzhong secretly laughed, wait for two days to let you understand thoroughly, Wang Cheng should also set off for Jingdezhen now, and he can lead troops to Panyang County the day after tomorrow.
"What does Brother Hu think of this Qing Dynasty, tell me to the official, say it well, the official will be rewarded!"
Hu Mengjun put on a correct posture and planned to show himself well: "Since the beginning of the Daoguang period, the National Congress Party has repeatedly rebelled, although they have been exterminated in a timely manner, but this has exposed the fact that the Qing Dynasty soldiers are weak and incompetent, after all, it is too rare to have soldiers like generals who can fight, and many places have relied on regimental training to suppress people's riots. β
Li Yunzhong saw that he still understood the matter, and thought of playing the role of Qing soldier, so he pretended to be displeased and said: "You are all clichΓ©s, tell me your own opinions." β
Hu Mengjun hurriedly discarded these clichΓ©s and continued: "Since the rebellion in Guangxi, the Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers have been defeated repeatedly, although they have won several battles, they still let Li Yunzhong, the king of the Han Dynasty, capture Jiangnan, and the puppet king Hong Xiuquan capture Sichuan and some parts of Hubei. β
Li Yunzhong said with a smile: "Everyone knows that the name of the Han King in this Li Yunzhong was sealed by Hong Xiuquan, since Li Yunzhong did not set up another name, it means that he still obeys the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, how can it be said that the two are separated from morality!" β
Hu Mengjun smiled and explained his opinion: "This is the clever place of the pseudo-Han king, it is obvious that he took the lead in launching a riot to conquer the city, but he wants to serve Hong Xiuquan as the main one, which shows that he has a city government and a strategy, and he understands 'accumulating grain, slowly becoming king, and building a high wall' very thoroughly."
Since the previous dynasties, the first rebellion did not end well, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang took the lead in opposing Qin at the end of Qin, but unfortunately they were killed one after another, cheaper Xiang Yu and Liu Bang, Liu Futong was the first to oppose the Yuan at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and Zhu Yuanzhang won the country the most. Li Yunzhong pushed Hong Xiuquan in front to shelter from the wind and rain, but he made a fortune in a muffled voice, until the time was ripe to break up in Hunan and independently conquer several provinces south of the Yangtze River. β
Li Yunzhong saw that Hu Mengjun was the head of his analysis, and asked rhetorically: "Is it now that Li Yunzhong in Jiangnan is strong, or is Sichuan Hongxiuquan strong?" β
"Of course, Li Yunzhong in the south of the Yangtze River is strong, he captured the grain land of the Qing Dynasty, and threatens Shandong and Henan at all times, while Hong Xiuquan lives in a corner of Sichuan, and it is easy to get in and difficult to get out."
Li Yunzhong continued to ask: "Then why is Li Yunzhong not the emperor, but continues to be the king of Han, doesn't he want to be the emperor for generations?" β
The more Hu Mengjun said, the smoother it became: "Now the time is ripe, last year Li Yunzhong has already broken through the Jiangnan camp and the Jiangbei camp, and successively captured Suzhou, Changzhou, and Shanghai, and this year he has attacked Zhejiang on a large scale, and the internal and external threats have been lifted, and it is a matter of time before he is called the emperor, not this year but next year." β
Li Yunzhong secretly laughed, he hadn't even considered the matter of being called the emperor, how could you calculate it so clearly, forget it, it would be a relief to talk to him, and asked:
"Tell me, how the court should pacify these two rebels, what you say is reasonable, this official will recommend you to a half-official position, if you don't say it well, this official will not blame."
Hu Mengjun hurriedly said: "If what I said is reasonable, I don't want to be an official, just follow the general, and I am willing to serve the general before and after the saddle!"
This puppet king Hong Xiu is arrogant and arrogant, and the puppet king of the east Yang Xiuqing is stubborn and self-serving, and he must have coveted the Jiangnan conquered by the puppet Han king Li Yunzhong, and last year they sent troops to attack Hubei is a clear proof, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has just captured Chongqing, and even western Sichuan has not been captured, so they hurriedly sent troops to attack Beijing and Hubei, on the one hand, it shows that they are very ambitious, and on the other hand, it can be seen that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wants to open up the channel with the puppet Han king Li Yunzhong and continue to command him. β
"It makes sense, keep talking."
Hu Mengjun took a sip of tea, saw Li Yunzhong's face as usual, and offered a plan: "If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is allowed to capture Hubei, it will inevitably point fingers at the puppet Han King Li Yunzhong, and let him be in a dilemma. β
