Summary: There is no way out for the guerrillas, and the minister of regimental training is good at inducing.

The silver that should have entered the provincial treasury flew into other people's mouths, Uncle Fang scolded, and Futai was annoyed.

The 20 military sticks woke up the battalion officer and caused a disaster.

In the late Qing Dynasty, the well-known case of murdering ministers caused by the disharmony of soldiers and soldiers was staged in Hunan in a silent place......

Guerrilla glared at Zeng Guofan and looked at it, and suddenly said, "Which one are you?" Although he had never met Lord Zeng, he knew that before Lord Zeng returned home, he had served as a waiter in the five departments. The system, military system, and laws of the Qing Dynasty are all understood and understood. But listening to what you said, why doesn't it look like it? ”

Zeng Guofan smiled: "My brother is telling jokes. There is only one Zeng Disheng in Hunan, I am not Zeng Disheng, which one is Zeng Disheng? Brother, please sit down and speak. ”

Guerrilla sat down and said, "Since you are Lord Zeng, you should know the system of my Great Qing Dynasty. The silver escorted by the humble duty is the salary specified by the imperial court to be sent to the camp in Jiangnan, who dares to move a penny? Isn't it a joke that you keep 40,000 taels when you keep your mouth open? Even the Huguang army didn't dare to say this! ”

Zeng Guofan said: "What my brother said is not nonsense, there is a reason for this. Don't worry, listen to the old brother. As early as the beginning of the year, the imperial court had a proposal to let the two lakes prepare ships and cannons. Because of the shortage of salaries in Hunan, there were many difficulties in purchasing ship guns, so he gave the court a fold and asked the household department to make up the short money. It was last month that the elder brother received a holy decree, stating that the household department had dried up and there was no money to be allocated, but the elder brother was allowed to pay the money allocated by the provinces, but anyone who passed through Changsha, whether it was to Jiangnan or Jiangbei, or whether it was to buy firearms or military food, the elder brother could keep it as appropriate to make up for the purchase of ships. Just three days ago, there was an order of 500,000 taels of silver allocated to Jiangxi, and when he passed by here, the elder brother left 100,000 taels. The elder brother escorted 200,000 taels, and the elder brother did not keep much, only 40,000 taels, and issued a voucher to the elder brother. Does this still make my brother embarrassed? Since there is something to say from above, the elder brother blackened his face and left all the 200,000 taels to buy the ship, does the elder brother dare not allow it? What's the most urgent thing right now? It's a ship cannon! In the battalions before the army, what is the matter with delaying the payment of salaries for a few days? Now it's the ship cannon that needs to be urgent! ”

After listening to Zeng Guofan's words, the guerrilla lowered his head and thought about it, and saw that the wharf was full of Xiangyong, and the front of the official ship had been blocked by the ships of the Hunan Navy Division. Thinking of anchoring forward, it is very difficult to do.

Seeing that the guerrillas were hesitant, Zeng Guofan touched a voucher from his sleeve and said: "The elder brother has issued the voucher in advance, and not only has the customs defense stamped on it, but the elder brother has personally written a letter to the Guangdong Domain. The elder brother will never let the elder brother make any difficulties. ”

Guerrilla sighed and said: "Lord Zeng, speaking of which, wherever the money is used, it is all for the purpose of suppressing bandits. The lowly government agreed to leave 40,000 taels for Hunan, but in addition to issuing vouchers, the lord also had to explain the matter to the superiors, and still counted the 40,000 taels left in Guangdong's salary. How is it? It is also very difficult to raise salaries in Guangdong! ”

Zeng Guofan got up and said: "Brother just don't say it, brother also has to explain this matter to the boss!" In any case, the two lakes were ordered to prepare ship artillery, and Guangdong also has a share of credit! Brother, please write your number on the paper, when the brother folds up, you must list the brother in front. ”

As soon as Zeng Guofan's voice fell, the guerrilla was already full of smiles and joy.

When the silver arrived, Zeng Guofan didn't dare to rest, even if he sent two fast horses, he was urgently escorted to the Hengyang Water Division Grain Station for urgent needs. Then he folded it to the court and made the matter clear. Really busy.

After Luo Bingzhang got the news, he immediately rushed to the wharf in a sedan chair with Xu Youren, but the ship of Guangdong Zhuyin had already left Changsha and sailed like an eagle towards the Jiangnan camp stationed outside Jinling City. The two of them didn't even see the shadow of the ship.

Luo Bingzhang was so angry that he beat his chest, and Xu Youren gritted his teeth with hatred.

Xu Youren shouted: "Si Li Ming'er will go and reason with Zeng Shilang!" The money released to Jiangnan can be intercepted by the Hunan Domain, so why should he be withheld by the Issuance and Examination Bureau? Even if he doesn't spit it out, he has to spit out half of it to the provincial treasury! ”

Luo Bingzhang just said in a continuous voice: "This Zeng Disheng! This Zeng Disheng! He is obviously robbing the silver from the Hunan Domain! He has a hard time, and neither is the life of the governor's yamen! I said Xu Fantai, after your brother returns to the Yamen, quickly send someone to guard the dock. Zeng Disheng is about to go crazy thinking about silver for the sake of building a water master! The ministry has always wondered how he knew that there would be a ship from Guangdong passing through Changsha? ”

When Luo Bingzhang and Xu Youren were talking at the dock, they raised the standard of the left army to lead Qingren and the right army to raise the standard to Li Guanband, but they were taking advantage of the opportunity of the training break to secretly collude with several subordinate military attachés to secretly collude with a major matter: the two wanted to take advantage of some people's dissatisfaction with the scorching summer training to create a mutiny that was not a mutiny, and take this opportunity to kill Zeng Guofan and completely bring down this backstage in Taqib!

This matter had been dismissed because it did not get Bao Qibao's approval, but Bao Qibao had not left the province for ten days, and during a training assembly in the afternoon, Qingren was beaten with 20 military sticks by the fiery Taqib because of greed, so that Qingren lost a big face in front of all the soldiers.

These twenty military sticks can make Qingren anxious.

After his brother was dismissed, he never saw a follow-up. This has made Kiyohito baffled, and he feels panic and uneasy. According to the previous practice, within three to five days after the decree of dismissal of the military senior officers arrived, the governor would first ask the regents to be informed, and based on the confessions of the reciters, give his own opinions on how to deal with them, and then send someone to hand them over to the governor's yamen. After the second announcement of the governor, if the governor and the governor were unanimous, they jointly played the result, and the court made the final decision on how to deal with the dismissed officer.

However, to Qingren's surprise, Hunan Governor Luo Bingzhang did not handle the Qingde case as usual this time.

Whether Qingde has been summoned or not, and whether Qingde has been sent to the governor's yamen, not only Bao Qibao, the governor of a province, does not know the inside story, but even Xu Youren, the secretary of a provincial domain, cannot inquire about the bottom line.

Kiyohito speculated that his brother was really in big trouble this time.

After thinking of himself from his brother, Qingren suddenly felt that his future was gloomy and his future was bleak, and he hated Zeng Guofan even more. But he didn't dare to have the idea of overscoring at this time. He knew very well in his heart that if he murdered a member of the imperial court, once the incident was leaked, not only would he be beheaded, but he might also be affected by the Nine Clans.

But Tazib's twenty military sticks made him suddenly realize that even if he didn't attack Zeng Guofan, Zeng Guofan would never let him go easily! Tazib disgraced himself in front of the whole army, and that was a signal!

With this thought, Qingren couldn't help but take risks. He wants to make Zeng Guofan shut up forever before Zeng Guofan attacks him!

He knew very well in his heart that in Hunan, except for Luo Bingzhang, only Zeng Guofan had the right to participate in the impeachment.

Luo Bingzhang has always been respectful of the Manchurians, and this person is not to be feared. Qingren then thought about it, as long as he got rid of Zeng Guofan, life would be difficult, and it would no longer be him Qingren, but Taqib. Bao Qibao asked Taqib to go east, did he dare to go west? Bao Qibao asked him to kill the dog, did he dare to hit the chicken? Unless he doesn't want to mix in the Hunan military circles!

But to do this without showing any traces, it is not enough to rely on him Qingren and Li Guandao, not only some officers must participate, but also ordinary soldiers must participate. To sum up: the more people who participate, the greater the insurance coefficient, the higher the success rate, and the lower the risk for yourself.

He first asked Li Guandao out for a meal of flower wine one night, taking the opportunity to test the extent of Li Guandao's hatred for Zeng Guofan. According to Lee's attitude, he devised a more detailed and elaborate plan.

After arguing with the bureaus called outside for a while, Qingren saw that the time was ripe, so he sent the two bureaus away first, and then said to Li Guandao: "Brother, Ta Zhiting is now less and less concerned about us people. Now there is no second person who can control him except for Zeng Shaved. ”

Li Guandai snorted wine and said: "The surname is Ta, a lackey who once shaved his head and helped him up. Whoever he once shaved his head asked him to bite, he naturally wanted to bite. It's a pity that the military gate doesn't listen to the words of the humble position, otherwise, perhaps, the first seven of the people who have shaved their heads have been burned! ”

Although Qingren and Li Guandao are both battalion officers, because Qingren is the leading battalion officer of the Sanpin Association, and Li Guandao is only a battalion officer with the rank of Wupin garrison. Therefore, Li Guandao wanted to call himself humble in front of Qingren.

Qingren said: "My brother and I have different views. The elder brother thinks that he does not approve of the elder brother's approach at the military gate, but he may not oppose it in his heart. Why? Because he is a military gate, and you and I are just battalion officers. Once the news leaks out, who is guilty of the crime? Naturally, it is a military gate. ”

Li Guandao said: "This kind of thing, without the support of the military, it is still not good to do it." If you really ask from above, someone has to speak for us, right? Moreover, the lowly position is different from your old one. There are people in your old capital who speak, and you have a share in this country. Who is the lowly position? You can only rely on the soldiers! ”

Qingren said: "Ta Zhiting gave me a problem today, and Ming'er may have to be difficult for my brother." As long as the surname Zeng is in Changsha, the top of my two heads will not be guaranteed sooner or later! Maybe you might even be beheaded! ,, what's wrong with my brother? He said that he would participate! ”

Li Guandao said: "My brother's death is worth it!" He's too flamboyant! I've said he has said more than once, and he doesn't listen! In fact, he knew very well in his heart that he had shaved his head and killed my brother, and the next step was to attack me. But the military gate didn't listen to me, and he could only move forward slowly. As long as you are careful, you will not be killed. ”

Qingren sneered: "Do you think Zeng shaved his head is a kind person? Huang Luyao, a dignified third-rank Taoist, is a real Taoist! ,, he didn't even ask for a decree, he said kill it! The result? It's not like it's over! Isn't it easy for us, the military soldiers who lead the troops, to take our fault? ”

Li Guan said: "If the military does not agree, you can't do it." You can't help but leave a way back for yourself! ”

Qingren suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Brother, this matter, you think about it too seriously, but it's actually very simple. For this kind of thing, we don't need to go out in person at all, just send the sentry commander and the chief to encourage a few to come out. When it comes to training in the scorching heat, the sentry commander's opinion is too big! If you can get together hundreds of people and go to the Issuance Examination Bureau to find Zeng to shave your head and reason, this thing will be considered a success! ,,This kind of thing,Brother can always do it, right? ”

Li Guandai weighed it secretly, and couldn't help laughing: "This is not a difficult thing. Just find an opportunity to collude with the reliable sentry commander in the battalion. However, the officers and men who go to the issuance and examination bureau cannot all be from the right battalion, and your old left battalion must be at least half of them. ”

Qingren said: "This is nature. Not only the people who raised our bids, but also the people of the Changsha Association and the Yongshun Association, the elder brother also encouraged him to come forward with thirty or twenty people. ”

Li Guandai pondered for a moment and said, "There is still something wrong. We'd better take the military gate with us, so that the retreat will be greater, and he will always be able to speak for us. ”

Qingren thought for a while and said, "There you have it! It will soon be the end of the month, and the military gate will definitely have to come back to report the military situation to Futai. Even if he has no military affection, he still has to pay a monthly salary. Brother Ming'er has to communicate with the sentinels and let the sentinels find the soldiers well. The front foot of the military gate enters the province, and we let them go to the Issuance Examination Bureau to make trouble! ”

Li Guandao said again: "There is one more thing we have to think about, what if Ta Zhiting does not allow the soldiers to leave the team? ”

Qingren said: "Why is my brother confused? When the military enters the province, can Ta Zhiting not pick it up? He went to pick up the army, what can't we do? Not only did Xiang Yong dare not speak, but even the people of the associations had to keep their mouths shut! We're raising the standard! In Hunan, apart from Fubiao, which one dares to provoke us? ”

Although Qingren's words were reasonable, Li Guandao still repeatedly emphasized that when he went to the Issuance Examination Bureau to find Zeng Guofan to reason, he must have half of the people in the left and right battalions.

Li Guan took this person to blame, and there were no big words or crazy words in his mouth that he didn't dare to say, but he never really did it.

And his brother from the Dusi clan is just the opposite of him. He doesn't like to talk much, but there is nothing he doesn't dare to do. As long as someone is willing to pay a lot of money, he will dare to kill the king of heaven.

On the fourth day after Zeng Guofan's return from Hengzhou, Bao Qibao returned to the province as usual to inform Luo Bingzhang of the military situation and pay his monthly salary.

The day before, Tazib had inadvertently contracted the heat due to overwork. Although he asked Lang Zhong to prescribe medicine that night, when Bao Qibao entered the city, he was still in bed. Neither went to the camp to watch the exercises, nor did he pick up Bao Qibao.

But Langzhong's medicine has some effect after all, before taking the medicine, Taqibu vomits and diarrhea; After taking the medicine, although I still vomited a few times and ran to the hut a few times, after dawn, I finally stopped vomiting and the number of times I went to the hut began to decrease.

Seeing that Taqib's illness was weakening, the lady still took her family and went to the land temple outside the city to make incense and make vows as planned. Only two old family members were left in the department.

Seeing that his illness had eased, Taqib was afraid that he would miss his official duties, and that his wife was not in the office, so he forced himself to support himself and let an old family member help him to the office of the deputy general's office on the left side of the General Staff. He couldn't sit still, so he leaned on the kang and closed his eyes to recuperate.

Tazib is now acting as an adjutant general, and it is said that he should move out of the General Staff Office and move to the Adjutant General Office to fit the system. But Taqib considered that although Qingde had been dismissed, he had not yet been convicted, and his family had been living in the adjutant general's office. At this time, Qingde's family was ordered to move out, which was somewhat impersonal. Therefore, Tazib went to the Adjutant General's Office during his office and still went back to the General Office at night.

Qingde's family is also well-behaved, only entering and exiting through the back door, and never disturbing the front office.

I am afraid that even Tazib himself did not expect that his illness not only allowed him to escape a catastrophe, but also saved his own life. (End of chapter)
