As soon as Xiao Yungui heard that Yang Xiuqing's tone was a little wrong, he knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he immediately explained: "Little brother doesn't mean this, what the little brother means is that the soldiers and horses of Tianjing have not been out of the team for a long time, and the source of money and food is quite embarrassing. Now that the Jiangbei Qing Demon is hoarding soldiers and horses, although the younger brother broke the Jiangbei camp a few days ago, it is difficult to guarantee that the Qing Demon will not make a comeback. If our Heavenly Kingdom can take advantage of the current Jiangbei camp to break new and occupy Jianghuai, it will be greatly beneficial to defend Tianjing, and it will also be greatly beneficial to our Northern Expedition in the future. ”

Speaking of this, Yang Xiuqing's complexion still did not change, and he poured another glass of wine and drank it, Xiao Yungui's heart moved, and he stepped forward and said in a low voice: "Aren't the North Hall and the Wing Hall often asking for words to leave the team?" Why don't you push the boat down the river and let them go north to compete with the Qing Demon Heavy Army? The Dongdian soldiers are sitting in Nanjing, and after the beginning of spring, the elder brother can let the Dongdian soldiers and the younger brother's soldiers and horses enter Jiangxi Province together, so that we can open up the situation. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiuqing's expression eased slightly, and he smiled: "What you said only makes some sense, our Chinese army is naturally going to sit in Nanjing, and Jiangxi Province is the heart of Tianjing, so we should take our own soldiers and horses." Anhui and Hubei will let the north hall and the wing hall go to get it, your west hall has laid down southern Jiangsu, so you should give the north wing some place to come out, right? ”

Xiao Yungui secretly called it dangerous, he really guessed Yang Xiuqing's thoughts, there are many Qing soldiers in Jiangbei that are difficult to fight, and there is the Yangtze River to block it, although there is a sailor to respond, but it is also difficult to transport, because Yang Xiuqing is not willing to send his henchmen and horses out of the north, he wants to go down to Jiangxi.

Yang Xiuqing clasped his fingers on the soft handrail, and said to himself: "It's just that the strategy we set at the beginning was to first set the nine southern provinces and then carry out the Northern Expedition, and the northern wing is afraid that it will not be so stupid." ”

Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "Brother is relieved, the decision is the decision, and the situation can be modified if it changes." Tianjing really needs the land of Jianghuai in the north to be a barrier, and Anhui and Hubei are not poor, but it is just difficult to fight. If there are concerns in the north wing of the north, my west hall can send troops to the north to fight in the middle of the Soviet Union to deal with them, so that the north hall will fight southern Anhui, the wing hall will fight Hubei Province, and the west hall will fight in the middle of the Soviet Union. Moreover, most of the elite demon soldiers in Jiangbei are in Yangzhou and other places in central Jiangsu, and this hard bone is gnawed by my West Temple. There's nothing to say about the North Wing. ”

Yang Xiuqing nodded with satisfaction: "This strategy is the best strategy, but if you want to fight Suzhong in the West Palace, is it too reluctant?" Who raised the troops? ”

Xiao Yungui said with a smile: "The younger brother knows that the elder brother doesn't like the Zhenjiang Luo outline, this person will be born in the world, and the rivers and lakes are very habitual. It was appropriate to send him out of the team. ”

Yang Xiuqing hummed and said happily: "Chaogui, you finally understand the hard work of being a brother." Speaking of this government. Somebody has to have an idea, right? Like those who are always wrong and not good, we should send them away, and the government still has to be decided by one person, otherwise the constitution will be messed up and nothing can be done. As you said, the north hall beats the south of Anhui. The wing hall hits the Hubei province, and the Luo outline hits the Soviet Union. However, they are all old brothers of the Celestial Empire, as long as they fight well, we will not be stingy with those rewards. But if you don't play well. Don't blame the Celestial Empire for its strict laws, do you say that's the reason? ”

Xiao Yungui was so frightened that he was sweating, and in retrospect, if he had fought a defeat after leaving Changsha, he would not have tried to please him. Especially when entering Jinling in the east, if the west hall comes back from a defeat, maybe his military power will be deprived, but fortunately, the west hall has always been a big victory, and he didn't give Tianjing this excuse. At that moment, Xiao Yungui hurriedly echoed: "Yes, yes, what my brother said is extremely true, when you go out to fight, you naturally have to fight well to be worthy of your brother, and if you don't fight well, it will not be easy to explain to the Celestial Empire." ”

Yang Xiuqing got up and patted Xiao Yungui on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, the West Hall has always won battles, and others can't say anything, this time the fight against Suzhong is different, Luo Xiu led the troops, if there is a defeat, you can just cure his habits of the rivers and lakes." ”

Xiao Yungui hurriedly nodded and said, "Little brother understands." "Yang Xiuqing has never been waiting to see Luo Xuan, if Luo Xuanxuan loses the battle, of course he will not let him go, although Xiao Yungui and Yang Xiuqing are vain, but in his mind he is thinking about how to make Luo Xuanzhong win, so that Yang Xiuqing can't find trouble with him.

Yang Xiuqing paced two steps with his hands and said: "After the beginning of spring, Yang Fuqing will be sent out of Jiangxi Province for the brotherhood, Jiang Zhongyuan, the demon head, is entrenched in Nanchang, you can send Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to lead the troops to deal with it, be sure to take down Nanchang, Jiang Demon Head is our big enemy, and he must be eliminated quickly." ”

Xiao Yungui responded, and Yang Xiuqing said again: "You can do it yourself over there in Fujian." Speaking of this, he paused and continued: "What do those people in Xiyi say? I heard that you have done a lot of business with them in Shanghai? ”

Doing business with foreigners and building railways can't be concealed no matter what, Xiao Yungui didn't plan to hide it, but his words were going to change, and he bowed down and replied at the moment: "Yes, these things are true, the foreign brothers' firearms are sharp, and the younger brother has purchased a lot of firearms to fight with the Qing Demon, which is quite good." All the countries of Xiyi admired our country's manners, and they wanted to send envoys to meet them, but all the countries of Xiyi were barbarians who did not know the number of etiquette, and they did not know how to kneel when they met, and the younger brother was afraid of colliding with his brother, so he pressed down. Besides, most of these people in Xiyi are insatiable businessmen, how can He De go directly to the heavens of his brother and the king of heaven? Therefore, the younger brother set up a government office in Shanghai, specializing in Yiyi affairs, and did not need Xiyi to come to Tianjing to make noise. ”

Yang Xiuqing nodded with satisfaction and said: "You still think about this matter thoroughly, although those Xiyi Yang brothers also believe in God the Father, they have always lived in the barbarian land for a long time, and they have never been bathed in the cultural teachings of my country, and vulgarity is inevitable, so it is better not to see it, as long as they can help me kill the demon." ”

Xiao Yungui hurriedly replied: "What the elder brother said is very true, this trip the younger brother also brought some tributes from the Xiyi and foreign brothers, and they will be transported later, but Xiyi is strong, and most of the foreign guns and firearms are sent, as well as some foreign cloths and foreign tableware." It's not worth much, if the elder brother can't look at it, the younger brother will return it. Xiao Yungui didn't lie, before he returned to Beijing, the British, French and American ministers in Shanghai presented some foreign guns, foreign cloths, and exquisite tableware to the king of the west out of courtesy, hoping that the king of the west would bring them back to Tianjing to dedicate. Xiao Yungui also knew that these guys were not well-intentioned, and the great powers still hoped that Tianjing would take a fancy to their goods and trade with them more.

Yang Xiuqing sighed and said: "Take it later, if it's not good, you can send it to the holy treasury, but the foreign gun is sharp." I want to buy some for my brother. ”

Xiao Yungui bowed down and said: "This matter can be handed over to the younger brother to handle, how many firearms the elder brother wants, you can list the documents, and the younger brother will handle it properly." "It is good to let the rest of the Taiping army use foreigner firearms, which can improve the combat power of the Taiping army, and the tens of thousands of foreign guns that Xiao Yungui engaged in are not all for his own preparation, and there are also a considerable number of old smoothbore gun models, most of which were used in the Opium War. At that time, Xiao Yungui decided to purchase these models of smoothbore guns in order to deal with Tianjing's side, and he was really blinded by him, and Tianjing really also had the idea of purchasing foreign guns.

Yang Xiuqing pondered for a moment and said, "We don't know how powerful the foreign gun is. It is not yet known whether the brothers under his command will be able to use the mastery, so let's buy an 8,000 musket first, if it is used well. Let's buy more. Now that the Holy Treasury is in short supply, you have to be more careful to negotiate with the Xiyi people. Don't let people fool you. Spend a lot of money. ”

Xiao Yungui also knew that Tianjing's money and grain were compact, and Shi Dakai could only maintain it by making careful calculations, so he really couldn't take out more money to purchase firearms, so even Yang Xiuqing said that he had to be more careful, which meant that he would suppress the price more, but don't let people cheat. At that moment, Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "This little brother can save it." Brother Yang Qi doesn't want to fool us, only the younger brother cheats them. ”

Yang Xiuqing also smiled and said: "Well, Jinling will be laid in more than forty days, and you can rest assured that you will be a brother." As long as you have a brother in your heart, your brother will support you to let go of it, and in the future, our brothers will join hands to control the great politics of the Celestial Empire, and no one will be able to turn the sky upside down. ”

Xiao Yungui complimented a few more words, and Yang Xiuqing changed his words and asked, "What errand is your daughter-in-law on now?" ”

Xiao Yungui sighed slightly, and also knew that Yang Xiuqing didn't like Hong Xuanjiao very much, so he replied immediately: "The women's Taoist family has not taken on any errands, but they are still leading the women's pavilion and the women's army in the West Palace, and they are also responsible for the errand of the edict office. In fact, Hong Yun'er has a lot of errands, most of Xiao Yungui discusses military and political affairs with Hong Yun'er, and sometimes even many official documents in the West Hall are drafted by her, but Xiao Yungui doesn't dare to say it to Yang Xiuqing, for fear that he won't like it and will suppress it.

Yang Xiuqing hummed and said: "I don't have much to do, that's good, I'm afraid that this girl will hurt you, she is close to the king of heaven, you have to pay more attention in the future." I really don't want to teach you a trick for my brother, marry a few more princesses, this girl is very jealous, after you marry the princess, she is busy fighting for the wind and jealousy, it will not hinder your big affairs, and you can also cheer up the husband. ”

Xiao Yungui laughed secretly when he heard this, he wanted to marry a few more, but Hong Yun'er was only afraid that it would be even more terrifying than the real Hong Xuanjiao, thinking of her fierce appearance, Xiao Yungui was a little reluctant, but his mouth naturally agreed.

After a few words of gossip, Yang Xiuqing talked about the Xiwang family who stayed in Tianjing, and the Huang family, the Xiao family, and the Jiang family still followed the rules, so they let them live in Tianjing for a long time, and Yang Xiuqing said that he liked Xiao Youhe, the son of the Xiwang, and often took him over to live. He also said that Xiao Youhe was young and smart, and Yang Xiuqing said that if the king of the west left Beijing, he wanted to take Xiao Youhe over and live in the house for a long time.

Xiao Yungui secretly smiled bitterly, Yang Xiuqing is worthy of being a generation of heroes, even if he calls you a brother and sister, but in fact, he will still guard against you, and the people of Xiwangfu who stay in Tianjing are counted as hostages, and Xiao Chaogui's son Xiao Youhe is regarded as a proton in his hands, so he will give a trap to the King of the West, so that he does not dare to have a bad heart.

It's a pity that Xiao Yungui has no feelings for this cheap son, and he doesn't have any feelings for those family members of Xiwang, so you can deduct it.

After a few words of gossip, it happened that the envoy of the king of heaven arrived at the East King's Mansion and summoned the King of the West to meet him, and after Chen Chengying came downstairs to report, Yang Xiuqing said: "You go to see the second brother, persuade the second brother more, don't burn all the ancient books, if you really do that, we will be scolded to the ground." ”

Although Yang Xiuqing is strict and protective, his knowledge is still much higher than Hong Xiuquan's, and he also knows that burning books is destroying the essence of Chinese culture, and he can't do it. (To be continued......)
