Chapter 366 Ning Du Su Chang

Danyang. Jiangnan Daying.

"Yang Xiuqing is dead?"

Xiang Rong, who was already in the wind, had a rosy face when he heard the news. He coughed and said, "Feng Yunshan, Xiao Chaogui, and Yang Xiuqing... Why did you die in front of me? And... Why, Xiang Rong never had the chance to see the day when I revived Jinling in my life. Your Majesty, Xiang Rong, I lost 40 million yuan in my salary..."

While speaking, the old man started to cough violently again. When Zhang Guoliang next to him saw this, he quickly stepped forward to comfort him and said, "Ship, don't be excited, don't be excited, it will be a matter of time before the defeat of Jinling! Moreover, there are reinforcements from the Son King and Sheng Bao now!"

However, the admiral Xiang Rong shook his head and said to Zhang Guoliang: "Guoliang, you don't have to say it anymore. Xiang has not had much time! The Sang King, Victory Gong Bao..."

Senggelinqin and Shengbao are both comparable to Xiang Rong in terms of titles, but now seeing that Xiang Rong is no longer able, they immediately responded: "Xiang Shuai..."

Xiang Rong shook his hand: "No, no! The country is in such danger, and the overall situation in the southeast will probably be entrusted to the three of you!"

What he was talking about was naturally Senggelinqin, Shengbao and Zhang Guoliang. The troops led by these three were almost the only war-capable soldiers in the southeast.

Speaking of which, if the Hong Army advanced north one or two months in advance, the situation on the Qing army might be better, but now both the Jiangnan Camp and the Jiangbei Camp have been defeated by the heavy troops of the Taiping Army. If it weren't for the Tianjing incident and the soldiers of the King of Qin, King Yi and Dingtianyan were recalled to Jinling, the entire Jiangnan Camp might not exist.

Therefore, Xiang Rong is almost giving his last words: "Now that the Tianjing is in trouble, Yang Xiuqing is dead, and the overall situation in the southeast seems to be able to change, but it is a pity that Liu Juehu, this thief, took advantage of my new defeat, and went out of Hangzhou, Jiahu, and pointed directly at Su Chang. If Su Chang is lost, the country will be in danger, so I want to ask the three of you to join hands to protect Su Chang!"

When Xiang Rong said this, the monk answered, Sheng Bao had no expression. Zhang Guoliang nodded respectfully, all agreed. Then he continued: "Even if Su Chang is lost, the Red thieves and the Guangdong bandits cannot be united. If the Guangdong bandits and the Red thieves merge, the world will be in danger!"

"Why are you afraid of the merger of the Red thieves and the Guangdong bandits?" Sheng Bao thought simply: "It would be better to let the Red thieves of the Guangdong bandits form a single group, then it will naturally be like today's Hong Yang Incident."

"Yang Xiuqing has been in Tianjing for many years, and has countless old friends!" Xiang Rong smiled and said, "If the Red thieves arrived in Jinling, I am afraid that there will be many thieves in Guangdong, let alone I will watch Hong Xiuquan..."

He chuckled and couldn't help but cough again, but he finished speaking: "It's not the Lord of Man, and the Kingdom of Heaven is not destroyed by Xiang Rong's hand, but it's actually destroyed by itself!"

In fact, Xiang Rong saw it far-reachingly. He knew clearly that no matter what, since the Tianjing Incident, the heart of Tianjing could not recover its original unity. Even the old brothers in Guangdong might have lost their hearts. In this case, Liu Chang went north to Jiangning in the name of the old man of the heavenly kingdom, and he would definitely respond to it./《》/《》》》》》》》 txt download

Although Liu Chang was young, he was also the inspection of the heavenly kingdom in the fourth year of Xianfeng. This qualification was also well-known in the heavenly kingdom. Moreover, after this round of heaven’s chaos, the original kings and princes of the heavenly kingdom had almost been cleaned up, and very few were left. Next was the inspection and commanding officers at the first level to take on major responsibilities.

The monk king over there snorted: "Xiang Xinran, don't worry, don't say that he has joined forces with Guangdong bandits, even Su Chang is as stable as the Great Wall!"

He did not think that Xiangrong's plan was brilliant. He thought that the monk king had 20,000 troops and horses. Although the Jiangnan camp was severely damaged, there were nearly 30,000 soldiers. The two armies combined to resist Liu Juehu from the south of Su Chang.

You should know that Xiang Rong started to encircle Jinling in the third year of Xianfeng, and fought until the sixth year of Xianfeng. Not only did he never touch the Jinling city wall. In the end, even the Zijinshan Camp in the Jiangnan Camp was taken to his hometown by the Taiping Army, so he had to retreat to Danyang in a hurry.

He led his troops to fight against the Taiping Army Northern Expedition Army. Although there were wins and defeats during this period, the Northern Expedition Army was defeated by him in the end. However, Xiang Rong still explained: "Prince, listen to my last words before parting, it would rather lose Su Chang than let the Red thieves and Guangdong bandits merge. If they merge, the world will be in danger!"

"The last time I entered Zhejiang, I was slightly worse than the Red thief!" Senggelinqin said proudly: "But the Red thief soldiers are few and the horses are owed. The only one who can trust is good at guarding and has many foreign guns and cannons. If the Tianjin Guangdong bandits are no longer in trouble, only 10,000 or 20,000 people need to restrain them. The main force goes south and is enough to defeat the thief!"

Although Xiang Rong is very old, he has been fighting for the rest of his life, and he has never forgotten his military plan for a moment. He smiled and said, "The main force of the camp is used to restrain the Guangdong bandits, and at most he can draw out thousands of people. Su Chang will be handed over to the prince. However, Prince, I have a few words to explain to you!"

"Tell me!"

Xiang Rong continued: "Now the country is in danger, so you can only use strong prescriptions. No matter how effective the effect is, you can only use medicine!"

"You mean?" The monk king understood a little: "Mr. Zeng?"

Xiang Rong nodded: "I hate two people the most in the past two years, one is Yang Xiuqing and the other is Zeng Disheng. I was struggling to restrain the city of Tianjing, so he was frequently reported in the West of Lianghujiang. However, the emperor did not understand this. He said that the frequent reports of Xiangxi and Hubei were spreading, so why did Jinling fail to defeat it? I don't know how many imperial edicts have been issued, but at this point, Zeng Disheng can only be restrained."

"How to control the situation?" Sheng Bao said first: "But don't let our universal country become the Zeng family's country."

"He is a Taoist master, but he doesn't have such skills!" Xiang Rong saw Zeng Guofan quite accurately: "It's better to worry about Runzhi if you want to worry about someone taking over the Qing Dynasty!"

"Hu Linyi? He dared!" Sheng Bao almost slapped the table, but when he saw that Xiang Rong was not much in real time, he said: "What do you think of Xiang Shuai?"

"I don't have much money here!" Xiang Rong knew his family's background: "Especially after Zhejiang fell, the military pay was cut off, but the water surface was still smooth. Zeng Di bought 800 foreign cannons in Guangdong during his lifetime, and he was walking around on land. He really didn't see him. He could ask the center for an order, so that Zeng Jun could buy machinery on his own in Shanghai. The number was unlimited and transported from the barbarian ship to the inland."

This idea is very good, but the monk has purchased foreign guns and cannons several times, but he knows that the first-class foreign guns and cannons are now in Ningbo, and only second-class foreign guns and cannons cannons cannons cannons when they go to Shanghai. However, for Zeng Guofan, second-class foreign guns and cannons are enough.

He added: "I can also ask the center for an order to receive a military pay from Zeng's army!"

Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s uprising, the central finances of the dynasty have almost collapsed. There are few examples of ministries receiving funds from various departments to support the army. They often operate by means of targeting or co-paying between provinces. Zeng Guofan never expects the Ministry of Revenue to be able to support him. Therefore, the words of the Monk King can be said to have set a precedent.

"Okay!" Xiang Rong's voice fell: "The old man is that last words. Please remember that you would rather lose Su Chang than let the Red thieves and Guangdong bandits merge. If they merge, the country will be in danger!"

...

"It's finally our turn to take action!"

Huo Qiu proudly held the battle order and said to Yun Tianzong and Lu Ziyun: "This time, fight well, defeat this territory in Jiangxi, and let me be the governor of Jiangxi!"

"It's the Jiangxi Governor!"

Shi Jingfen, behind him, had added: "It's okay to say privately now, it's even more in public, so don't make a mistake!"

Huo Qiu laughed repeatedly and said, "That's that's it! Governor Shi, I am responsible for the Jiangxi military affairs, so the Civil Affairs will entrust you to the emperor!"

Speaking of which, seeing the Dragon Gun Brigade and the Nanxi Brigade singing along the way in Hangzhou, Jiaxi and Huzhou, victories and wars spread frequently, while the Second Brigade could only be trapped on the border between Zhejiang and Jiangxi, making small fuss. He knew that this was a strategic arrangement, but it also made Huo Qiu a little angry.

Not to mention that after seeing the King of Wings turn into the Tianjing battlefield, the Hunan Army immediately turned into defense to offense and captured several county towns in the battlefield in Jiangxi. However, it was finally Huo Qiu's Nanxi brigade.

Shi Jingfen was also very proud. He was from Jiangxi. Even if he was a follower of a thief when he returned to Jiangxi this time, he would return home in Jinyi. You must know that if he had not served Liu Chang himself, there would be few such a god-given opportunity: "If Jiangxi is determined, even if it cannot unify the world, it will be enough to rule the Southeast!"

After he said this, Lu Ziyun also agreed repeatedly: "That's right! The worst is that it is also a situation in the Southern and Northern Dynasties. Moreover, the Qing Dynasty is extremely corrupt. If I have Jiangxi, Zhejiang and Jiangsu provinces, the world's granary is in my hands, and it is enough to conquer the world!"

By this, both Tian Zongyun and Huo Qiu's enthusiasm were ignited. Yes, now we are just brigade commanders and regiment commanders, but if we conquer Jiangxi, it means differently.

You should know that Jiangxi is a big province. With such a large territory, it is not enough to rely on the guard of an infantry brigade alone. Therefore, Huo Qiu said directly: "I have communicated with the inspector. After the battle is over, the infantry brigade will be upgraded to a division. Whether it is the first division, two brigades, four regiments, or three regiments, the troops must be expanded. This time I asked the inspector for the number of an infantry regiment and prepared to form it after entering Jiangxi."

Yun Tianzong immediately replied: "Three infantry regiments? Not enough, absolutely not enough. The situation in Zhejiang now is that one prefecture has at least one infantry regiment as the foundation. Governor Shi, how many prefectures are there in Jiangxi?"

Shi Jingfen is from Jiangxi and is most familiar with Jiangxi: "Jiangxi has thirteen prefectures and has always been under the jurisdiction of the prefectures, with a total of 75 counties, one prefecture and four halls!"

"That's to need at least thirteen regiments?" Yun Tianzong said eagerly: "A such a big province also requires three to four divisions, right?"

"Then how do we come?" Huo Qiu was always worried about this question: "Our brigade has only 6,500 people! Governor Shi, what are you doing?"

"I have many old friends, but it's better not to let them lead troops," Shi Jingfen replied immediately: "Don't miss a big deal!"

But Yun Tianzong said, "There is a way, of course there is a way!"

"What's the solution?"
