Xiao Yungui's letter was not written too explicitly, he just explained the identity of himself and Yun'er in a bland manner, and slightly mentioned the fact that he and Yun'er became biological sons. This guy is still a habitual method of picking up girls, he knows what it means to want to capture the old and indulge, the first reply is not in a hurry to show anything, but slightly provokes Qingyun's jealousy, in Xiao Yungui's imagination, if Qingyun still has affection, knowing that his fiancé was snatched away by a good friend, he should be jealous.

Of course, Xiao Yungui, a veteran of pickling girls, will not blindly provoke jealousy, about him and Hong Yun'er's marriage, he also wrote some actual situations, such as the flesh of the two, Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao were husband and wife from the beginning, and they also had a son, these actual situations Xiao Yungui is right, if the two did not have this relationship at that time, they would not have come together so quickly. Then Xiao Yungui also cared about Qingyun with ulterior motives, he knew that sometimes a simple shhh

So this guy completed a letter with impure motives, and after repeated revisions, he transcribed it into Hanyu Pinyin, and then asked Li Ding, who sent the letter, to come.

As for Li Ding, Bai Zetang naturally would not let him go, the rudder of the capital was destroyed by the Qing court, and he was the only one who survived, which was very revealing. After Li Ding sent the letter to the capital, Tong Qiangsheng personally interrogated Li Ding. Li Ding knew that he was already very sorry for his brother who died, and he only thought about dying quickly, so he confessed everything one by one.

Knowing that Li Ding had become a traitor, Tong Qiangsheng was naturally very annoyed, but the letter sent by Li Ding was from the Manchu Empress Dowager, and Tong Qiangsheng still did not execute Li Ding for the time being. He knew that the King of the West would definitely ask Li Ding in person.

Sure enough, the king of the west ordered someone to bring Li Ding to come shortly after reading the letter, Tong Qiangsheng did not know what the king of the west said to Li Ding alone, what he asked, and finally the king of the west let Tong Qiangsheng into the study. Let him send Li Ding back to the north, and sue Sù Tong Qiangsheng, Li Ding's capital crime is temporarily pardoned, and he is allowed to make meritorious contributions to the crime, but Bai Zetang must keep this matter a secret.

Tong Qiangsheng knew that the King of the West wanted to use Li Ding as a rebel, but Li Ding became a traitor and was not punished, and if this matter spread, it would definitely affect Bai Zetang. So the king of the West asked him to keep it a secret. But none of this is important, Tong Qiangsheng is curious about why the Empress Dowager of the Manchu Qing Dynasty wrote to the King of the West, and the King of the West must have replied. Otherwise, he would not have summoned Li Ding alone.

Everyone has curiosity, and Tong Qiangsheng is no exception, but he is very smart and he knows what to ask. What can't be inquired. So he still chose to take the order and didn't ask much.

After Li Ding left, Xiao Yungui's eyes turned to Jiang Zhongyuan's subordinates who were blocking Zhaoqing, this problem always had to be solved by himself, and he would not report too much hope on Song Qingyun, how useful the reply letter would be Xiao Yungui didn't know, but one thing was for sure, this letter could interfere with Song Qingyun a little. It's a pity that Xiao Yungui didn't know that Song Qingyun's belly at this time was black and Cheng Dù had a fight with himself. So Xiao Yungui and Song Qingyun's mutual calculations began.

Looking at the map with his hands in his hand, Xiao Yungui also felt a little headache. The key to blitzkrieg in Guangdong is a fast word, this time the Manchu Qing's reaction speed was several times faster than he imagined, Song Qingyun was very bold to use Jiang Zhongyuan in Jiangxi to take over Ye Mingchen's position, he knew that this was the case, Xiao Yungui felt that it was better to let Ye Mingchen go back, but this governor of Liangguang was not as difficult as Jiang Zhongyuan.

Jiang Zhongyuan has been suppressing bandits all his life, he has been suppressing Lei Zaihao's uprising from the beginning, and then he let the Taiping army suffer the first defeat, the battle of Lingyidu almost wiped out the Taiping army, and then rescued Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places also made the Taiping army suffer enough, and then guarded Nanchang, so that the Taiping army fought Nanchang three times before finally conquering here, this guy is famous for being good at guarding.

Thinking of this, Xiao Yungui felt that it was very difficult for a division of Zhang Wenxiang's division in Zhaoqing to deal with Jiang Zhongyuan, and Jiang Zhongyuan would definitely mobilize the Qing army of Lao Chongguang's department from Guangxi to help, and maybe it would be possible to borrow troops from the Hunan army. Although the Third Division was known as Zhao Zilong's division, it was impossible to have three heads and six arms, and the Third Division was scattered in western Guangdong, and its troops in Zhaoqing were insufficient.

Xiao Yungui knew that Li Xiucheng would definitely adjust the deployment in time and mobilize the first and second divisions to help, what he had to do as the king of the west was to immediately send the second echelon south, and at the same time, Shi Dakai's troops must launch the Northern Hunan Campaign to contain the Hunan army, and make sure that Zeng Guofan did not dare to divide his troops to go south to Guangdong.

Later, Xiao Yungui summoned the General Staff Department of the Military Department, and the results of the generals and colonels of the General Staff Department were similar to Xiao Yungui's judgment, and the second echelon composed of most of the township soldiers in Jiangxi and Fujian originally planned to wait for a period of time before going south, but now the situation has changed, and the second echelon should quickly go south to Guangdong, take over the occupied territory, and take on the errand of clearing out the remnants of the enemy, and at the same time, the regular new army in Jiangxi and Fujian needs to transfer two more divisions to form a new corps to go south, which will be included in Li Xiucheng's command sequence, so as to ensure the comparison of superior forces against the Qing army.

As for the Twist Army and Lai Wenguang's Taiping Army besieged in Yingzhou, Lin Qirong's Department of Staff of the Military Department launched the Fengyang Campaign, and the soldiers and horses of Northern Jiangsu attacked Fengyang, Sizhou and other places, striving to connect Luzhou with Northern Jiangsu, and at the same time could contain the Qing army besieging Yingzhou.

The biggest difference between the modern army and the ancient army is not the spiritual difference, some scholars believe that the ancient army fought for no reason, so there is a big gap between the modern army and the modern army in terms of the will to fight. During the Great Patriotic War of the Soviet Union, after the Soviet army was defeated by the German blitzkrieg, hundreds of thousands of Soviet soldiers laid down their arms and surrendered, and the will to fight could not distinguish the difference between the modern army and the ancient feudal army. The difference between the two lies in the use of science in the military.

Since the current Taiping Army set up a military academy, it has already begun the idea of building the army scientifically. First of all, soldiers had to participate in literacy classes, which were mostly conducted at night, whereas in ancient times the army had little to do at night, except for a good night's sleep, which only increased the possibility of bombing the camp. The soldiers of the Taiping Army participated in literacy classes at night or listened to the instructors to do ideological work, which not only passed the long night, but also increased the knowledge of the soldiers.

The second is the application of various disciplines in the military, such as the ballistics of artillery, the hydrographic surveying and mapping of the navy, the statistics of logistics, the observation of scouts, and the meteorology of marching troops, all of which began to be widely used in the Taiping Army. It has to be said that war is indeed the first accelerator for the development of science and technology.

The second is that the staff system and logistics are separated from the army, and the generals of the ancient army have to manage everything, and the Taiping Army has been established since the training of the Sufu New Deal and the new army, and the army logistics has also been separated separately, which is also an important symbol that distinguishes the modern army from the ancient feudal army.

Xiao Yungui was very satisfied with these young officers in the General Staff Division, although one of them may not be so thoughtful, but their collective wisdom together is completely better than any famous general. After Xiao Yungui received the news, although the method of dealing with it had a rough prototype, the General Staff Department had already drawn up a rough battle plan through the collective wisdom of more than a dozen people.

This operational plan is only a first draft, and there are still some details that need to be perfected, but these tasks are things that should be done by staff officers at the corps, division, and regimental levels, and the staff officers accompanying the army have a better understanding of the actual situation on the battlefield, and they have the right to revise the operational plan of the staff department, but they must complete the campaign objectives issued by the staff department, and at the same time, the revised plan of the staff officers must be approved by the division commander and army commander.

The General Staff Department of the Taiping Army attaches great importance to the modifiability of the plan, and they know that they are only putting forward an ideal combat plan, and the specific implementation still needs to rely on the troops on the front line, so the plan of the General Staff Division is not impossible to change. The General Staff Department has circulated the saying that a plan that cannot be modified is not a good plan.

The General Staff Department and Xiao Yungui's operational ideas were roughly the same, Xiao Yungui immediately ordered the General Staff Department to start deploying troops in the name of the Ministry of War, and the Taiping Army was now very much like a modern army, and their efficiency far exceeded that of the Manchu feudal army.

Just when Xiao Yungui sent out the mobilization of the second echelon to enter Guangdong, the new US minister Lie Weilian came to Tianjing, and he brought good news and bad news.

Xiao Yungui met with Lie Weilian at dinnertime, and Xiao Yungui prepared a sumptuous Chinese dinner to entertain Lie Weilian. Levielian came to Shanghai on the USS Minnesota, the latest sail-steam hybrid battleship in the United States, which meant a bit of a show of force. However, after Lieweilian landed on the shore and saw the Wusongkou and the dense naval batteries on both sides of the strait, Lieweilian determined that the number of fleets he had brought with him was too small.

Lev chose to take the train to Suzhou first, mainly to visit the factories invested by several American businessmen in Suzhou, and then arrived in Tianjing. Xiao Yungui's purpose of entertaining Lie Weilian for dinner is very simple, this guy plans to make a good profit when the Yankees are in economic crisis.

After the meal, the two began to have a pleasant conversation, the traditional English of the British was too lame, and Xiao Yungui was more accustomed to American-style colloquialism, so Lie Weilian was surprised that the accent of the Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom actually had an obvious cowboy accent.

Before Xiao Yungui could ask about the domestic economic crisis in the United States, Lie Weilian first thanked the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for its help in the economic crisis in the United States. These words made Xiao Yungui and his husband puzzled, and this guy had to laugh and slowly cliché, and finally figured out that this qiē was Hu Xueyan's masterpiece.

Hu Xueyan brought more than half of the assets of Guiyun Firm, which was almost half of Xiao Yungui's private property. After returning to the United States, Hu Xueyan did not follow Xiao Yungui's intentions, put all the funds into the construction of the Western Railroad in the United States, he got some news through his American lover, coupled with his keen business judgment ability, found that the major steel companies in the United States have the problem of insufficient sales of products, and at the same time, when he inspected the railway construction site, he found that more than seventy percent of the rails used for construction were actually imported from the United Kingdom, which surprised Hu Xueyan. He immediately realized that this would lead to a very serious business crisis. (To be continued......)
