Chapter 493: An Unexpected Encounter(1/2)
After occupying Yongzhou, the soldiers and horses of the escort army can go around to the rear of Guilin, and the entire Guilin will be surrounded by the escort army.
After the recovery of Guilin, the recovery of the entire Guangxi is just around the corner.
At this time, Dong Liang's warship had arrived at Haimen.
He did not go directly to Shanghai. The Shanghai Road was still a Manchu road in name and was not isolated from the outside world. There were many people and it was difficult for Dong Liang's battle not to be discovered. Therefore, he put his first
Stand at Haimen.
Zhuo Yiqing returned to Haimen ahead of him to handle the affairs here.
"Führer, the General Administration Office in Haimen is relatively simple. You can survive and take a rest first. My subordinates will come back to you to report on the work." Zhuo Yiqing looked at Dong Liang with a burning gaze.
This made Dong Liang feel a pain in his back unconsciously.
During this period, he and Shang Yun were newly married and stayed together all day long.
As a practical surgeon, Shang Yun felt that he must practice to gain true knowledge. In order to achieve their mission of giving birth to an heir for the Chinese race as soon as possible.
Shang Yun pestered Dong Liang every day to practice various movements to facilitate pregnancy.
In order to keep Dong Liang active, she cooked medicinal meals for him every day. Dong Liang's energy could keep up, but his waist strength could not keep up.
In the past few days, I have taken a boat to the north again, and now I feel like I am about to fall apart.
Commander Zhuo is interested. This is Dong Liang's first visit to Jiangbei. His previous knowledge of this place was the documents reported by Zhuo Yiqing.
Therefore, he must follow Zhuo Yiqing obediently.
"Commander Zhuo is interested. Let's go and rest first. In the evening, we will find officials from Jiangbei to the General Administration and hold a military and political meeting together."
Zhuo Yiqing nodded and told Lu Yi to gather people, while he took Dong Liang back to the backyard of the General Administration.
This is where Zhuo Yiqing usually lives. Although it is not big, it is very clean. The courtyard-style backyard is paved with blue bricks and there is not even a weed on it.
Of course, it was the first month of the year, the cold wind was howling in the north of the Yangtze River, and the water tank in the yard was even covered with a thick layer of ice.
However, the bathroom Zhuo Yiqing prepared for Dong Liang was full of steam. The water temperature in the huge bathtub was just right. The moment Dong Liang took off his clothes and lay down in the bathtub, the bones in his body seemed to be disassembled and reassembled.
All the comfortable places have been reorganized into the most suitable positions.
Even the pores on the body seem to be breathing.
At this moment, a pair of fresh bare hands put on Dong Liang's shoulders. He felt as if he was electrocuted.
"What's wrong? We've just gotten married and we're so alienated from the Nu family?" Zhuo Yiqing said with a raised voice.
"How could it be, Qing'er, I'm just too tired recently." Dong Liang said slightly tiredly.
"Hehe... is it because of the new marriage?" Zhuo Yiqing said with a smile.
These words made Dong Liang look embarrassed. He sat in the bathtub and did not dare to move.
"Where did you go? I said I would be responsible for you." Dong Liang grabbed one of Zhuo Yiqing's hands and said.
"Okay, I'm kidding you, I have something serious to tell you."
While Zhuo Yiqing was rubbing Dong Liang's back, he sorted out what Fu Shanxiang said and relayed it to Dong Liang.
Her skills were very good, and Dong Liang enjoyed it very much. However, Dong Liang's mind was completely attracted by this matter.
"Is this Fu Shanxiang reliable?" Dong Liang did not say the feasibility of this matter, but asked Fu Shanxiang.
"The people from the Anbu have investigated and there is no problem with Fu Shanxiang's identity. The things she said are all facts. What's more, this is a conspiracy, and Yang Xiuqing's intention is obvious."
Dong Liang nodded: "Well, it is indeed a conspiracy, but Yang Xiuqing underestimated our appetite. Originally, we did not have the ability to take over Yangzhou, but now the external situation has changed. The foreigners are fighting on their own in the west, and we don't have time for the time being.
To deal with us, I decided to end the unrest in the south as soon as possible. In this way, our Chinese energy will be preserved more."
"Did you bring troops here this time?" Zhuo Yiqing asked.
Dong Liang's face was filled with a confident smile, and the steam in the barrel turned the skin on his cheeks red: "When I come, I will be better than thousands of troops."
Zhuo Yiqing chuckled after hearing this, her flower branches trembling, and her bright red tube top house dress almost stuck to her body because it was soaked with sweat.
Dong Liang looked back and resisted the urge to pull her into the water.
"The main force must be placed in the south for the time being. The main reason is that our pace is too fast. We must wait until the local garrison matures before we can draw out the field troops. Otherwise, we will be like the Taiping Army, occupying a
Lose a piece of space."
The Taiping Army fought all the way from Guangxi and occupied countless places, but most of them were recovered by the Qing army.
They are like a bear breaking out the corn, breaking off the corn and losing the watermelon.
At present, the areas controlled by the Taiping Army are only around Nanjing, along the Yangtze River in Anhui to the areas along the river in Jiangxi, and part of Hubei.
These places were connected by the Yangtze River waterway, but the Taiping Army did not have a strong navy.
Therefore, their occupation of these places was fragile and could be taken back by the Qing army at any time.
"Then what do you mean? Should we accept it in Yangzhou or not?"
"Take it, of course we have to take it, and we also have to take the Taiping Army under Zeng Lichang. I want Yang Xiuqing to lose his wife and lose his troops."
"Führer, don't you have a grudge against Yang Xiuqing?" Zhuo Yiqing's red lips curled up slightly, biting the base of Dong Liang's tongue and said.
Then there was a sound of water splashing.
…
Fu Shanxiang put on a brand new blue dress and came to the General Administration Yamen as invited.
Zhuo Yiqing invited her over today and said it was to discuss important matters.
She knew there might be something fishy about what she mentioned.
Mrs. Qing seems to be the kind of woman who is resolute and decisive in dealing with things.
She has been to the General Administration's Yamen many times, and everyone there knows her, and she doesn't need anyone to guide her.
Fu Shanxiang walked straight to the study room where Zhuo Yiqing worked.
She usually meets Zhuo Yiqing here.
The door to the study room was open, and at a glance you could see a young man standing at the desk reading documents.
This man was about twenty years old, still had a bookish air about him, and was wearing a blue gown.
This is the uniform of a civil servant here in Jiangbei. It makes him look like a new clerk.
"Hello, is Mrs. Qing here?" Fu Shanxiang obviously regarded the person in front of him as a newly recruited civil servant from the General Administration.
"Are you looking for Commander Zhuo?" Dong Liang was reading some information on Jiangbei's development when he was suddenly interrupted by a crisp and polite female voice.
When I looked up, I saw a woman dressed simply.
It's just that this woman's appearance and temperament were so outstanding that Dong Liang couldn't help but look at her a few more times.
Fu Shanxiang's big eyes and curved eyeliner seem to enchant people.
The smooth nose bridge, oval face shape and pink lip color all show her charming temperament and beauty.
She is a bit like a petal, soft and layered. In addition to her unique appearance, Fu Shanxiang's unique good complexion of Jiangnan women can easily arouse the resonance of others. Her skin is fair, delicate and lustrous, and she looks very healthy.
"Yes, Mrs. Qing called me here." Fu Shanxiang saw this strange young man looking at her, but she was not angry.
She had seen this kind of look many times. The man in front of her at least didn't have any lust in his eyes.
"Excuse me, what is the girl's name?" Dong Liang asked, he was also a little curious about the woman in front of him.
He knew that the other party was not a staff member of the general administration.
"My surname is Fu and my given name is Shanxiang." Fu Shanxiang said generously.
"Oh, are you the female champion?" Dong Liang said.
"I don't dare to take it, I don't dare to take it. There weren't many women in the women's hall at the beginning, and the little girl was just lucky enough to be selected as the number one scholar." Fu Shanxiang saw the admiration in Dong Liang's tone when he spoke. In fact, he was a little proud, but he still said it.
modesty.
"Come in and sit down." Dong Liang suddenly pointed to the seat in front of the desk and said.
His aura seemed to change instantly.
Fu Shanxiang felt that this young scholar seemed to be ordering him.
She actually sat down unconsciously.
Then the young man actually sat down opposite him.
That's where Zhuo Yiqing was sitting before.
At this moment, Zhuo Yiqing walked in carrying a teapot.
"Ah, Miss Shanxiang is here, so fast." Zhuo Yiqing said as he walked.
But the young scholar had no intention of standing up.
She looked at Zhuo Yiqing and saw nothing strange in his eyes.
Who is this young scholar?
Fu Shanxiang is not stupid, on the contrary, she is an extremely smart woman.
