"A high-ranking demon official who can exchange for my family's collection? He is..."
When Xu Yuegui heard Archangel Luo's words, her breathing quickened, her bulging chest rose and fell, and her face was filled with incredible surprise.
She had actually regarded Hong Daquan as a dead man for a long time... This damn ghost was so desperate that he claimed to be the brother of the second son of God's family! Even if Xianfeng caught him, he still had to be nailed to a cross and beheaded? It was not easy. To catch such a big boss of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, how big of a monster would the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have to catch before Xianfeng would be willing to change it?
"His name is Zeng Guofan!" Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "He is a registered minister. Ding You was formerly the left minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs and served as the chief examiner of the Jiangxi Provincial Examination."
When Xu Yuegui heard what Luo Yaoguo said, he was a little disappointed: "The minister is here... he doesn't seem to be too big. Xianfeng is really willing to trade my family's entire family for him?" How is that possible?
Luo Yaoguo thought to himself: "Xianfeng is willing, but I am not willing! That is Zeng Guofan, the savior of the Qing Dynasty!
It can be said that if there was no Zeng Guofan in history, and people like Zeng Guoquan, Zuo Zongtang, and Li Hongzhang were allowed to fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom might still be finished. But the Qing Dynasty would probably be finished too!
Because there is no big man like Zeng Guofan who can lead the two armies, Zeng Guoquan, Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang and others will inevitably adopt the route of supporting the invaders and adding armed separatism - this is a very common phenomenon in history. The princes of the Eastern Han Dynasty, The Tang Ji Fan Town and the heroes of the Yuan Dynasty all followed this path. I have already made these issues clear in "Anti-Jing", and those scholars will definitely be aroused to want to be the lord!
And once Han officials appeared in the Qing Dynasty to practice armed separatism, no matter whether there was still the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom or not, the Qing Dynasty would definitely be over! Therefore, it is very important that there is no Zeng Guofan!
Because only he would lay off the Hunan Army that he relied on after desperately annihilating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Others’ love for the Qing Dynasty is not that deep!”
After turning his thoughts around, Luo Yaoguo said to Xu Yuegui in a sincere tone: "Sister-in-law Yuegui, the probability that Xianfeng is willing to change is always above 50%. Even if he refuses to change, he will not harm Daquan brothers easily. Moreover, We will definitely catch more Qingyao officials in the future. Zeng Guofan will be easier to catch because Ding You is here! Daquan is our brother, and our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not give up any of our brothers easily!"
Jiao Hong, Xu Yuegui, Xu Xianggui, and Zhang San, the leaders of the underworld who came from the Heaven and Earth Society, were all moved after hearing Luo Yaoguo's words.
Xu Yuegui knelt down in front of Luo Yaoguo: "Your Highness, Angel, you are so kind to us! All the people in the recruitment hall, His Highness is the only one who obeys!" Jiao Hong, Xu Xianggui, and Zhang San knelt down soon after, and expressed their allegiance to each other. .
Luo Yaoguo raised his eyebrows. This was an unexpected gain - the "loyalty" of these people from the Recruitment Hall had increased again.
"Get up, get up..." Luo Yaoguo waved his hand, calling Jiao Hong, Xu Yuegui, Zhang San, Xu Xianggui and others to get up, and then asked: "Let's make a careful calculation and figure out how to send internal support to Changsha and Xiangxiang?" Previously, Luo Yaoguo used the strategy of combining inside and outside when capturing Daozhou, Guiyangzhou, Chenzhou and other cities, and they were all successful!
Now I naturally think of copying the gourd and doing it twice more!
After Luo Yaoguo, Jiao Hong, Xu Yuegui, Xu Xianggui and others discussed the matter of launching the Tiandihui uprising in Changsha and Xiangxiang to cooperate with the Taiping Army's attack, they called Su Sanniang and Yu Miaqing to go to Chenzhou City together. Went to the Xiwang Mansion. Inside the Xiwang Mansion.
"Welcome the 4,000th anniversary of the Angel of Peace!"
As soon as Luo Yaoguo entered the courtyard, a group of powerful generals from the Kingdom of Heaven under the Western King Xiao Chaogui, as well as Zeng Tianyang, Wu Ruxiao, Li Shoucheng, He Damei and other generals who had come to Luo Yaoguo for a meeting earlier, knelt down and saluted together.
In Luo Yaoguo's Angel Mansion and the Shangjun, there is little etiquette of kneeling and kowtowing, and more emphasis is placed on "brothers and sisters, one family". But in the Xiwang Mansion and Qianjun under Xiao Chao's responsibility, the rules are still the same as before.
Because Xiao Chaogui possessed the divine power of "Zhen Ji Du possessed", he not only maintained his ranking within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but even gained a greater say. Therefore, the commander of the Taiping Army's northward march to Changsha this time was Xiao Chaogui, and Luo Yaoguo was only the deputy commander. Therefore, as long as Xiao Chaogui is present, the rules of kowtowing and kneeling must be followed in the West Prince's Mansion.
"Pingshen, Pingshen, Pingshen." Luo Yaoguo was as approachable as ever, smiling and greeting everyone to get up. The couple, Xi Wang Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao, stood outside the main hall waiting together. When they saw Luo Yaoguo coming in, they hurriedly greeted him with a smile. "Eighth brother! "
"Laoba!"
Luo Yaoguo hugged the two of them and said, "Brother-in-law, Sixth Sister." Then he asked Hong Xuanjiao: "Sixth Sister, when did you arrive in Chenzhou?" "You just arrived yesterday evening," Hong Xuanjiao said with a smile, "I heard you just arrived. When I came back from the pier outside the city, I didn’t go over to bother him.”
Xiao Chaogui continued what Hong Xuanjiao said and asked: "Eighth brother, do those boatmen support our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? They are all brothers of the Tiandihui who want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty."
Luo Yaoguo is very busy these days. On the one hand, he has to make arrangements to send secret lecturers to Changsha and Xiangxiang to launch an uprising; on the other hand, he is also busy with the work of the boatmen and boatmen on the Chenjiang River and Lei River.
Most of the boatmen on the Xiaoshui River were absorbed into the Taiping Army, but not many of the boatmen on the Chenjiang River joined the Taiping Army. It was not because they were unwilling, but because Luo Yaoguo could not take away all the water transportation capacity of several states in southern Hunan. .There is a lot to be done in southern Hunan. If Lingling, Quanzhou and Hengyang are taken down, Xiaoshui, Leishui, Chenjiang, Guanjiang, Kuishui and Yijiang can be connected through the Xiangjiang waterway between Quanzhou and Hengyang.
By then, Feng Yunshan's Nanwang Mansion only needs to control Hengyang, Qiyang, Lingling, and the four important towns on the Xiang River in Quanzhou, and then pass through the Xiangjiang River, Xiaoshui, Leishui, Chenjiang, Guanjiang, Kuishui, and Yijiang. By deploying troops and food through the water transportation network, and then securing several mountain passes on the Nanling Mountains in the south, a large and stable base area can be opened up.
Therefore, in order for Feng Yunshan to use troops to transport grain in southern Hunan in the future, and for the sake of people's livelihood and production plan in the southern Hunan base, Luo Yaoguo did not intend to integrate the two to three hundred large wooden boats and their bows and boatmen currently gathered at the east dock of Chenzhou City. The Taiping Army. However, he still wanted to build the branches of the God Worshiping Association among the boatmen and boatmen on the bows of these Shonan ships, and develop a group of members of the God Worshiping Association among the shipheads and boatmen in Shonan.
This task was assigned by Luo Yaoguo to his eldest disciple Wang Suo, who brought several juniors from the first phase of the lecture class. They went down to establish a branch ten days ago to spread the "Anti-Jing" and "The Land System of the Celestial Empire" to the bowmen and boatmen. " made sense. Wang Yan came to report the day before yesterday, saying that they had developed a group of disciples and were planning to open a "small lecturer class", and asked Luo Yaoguo to come over and support the scene.
So yesterday afternoon, Luo Yaoguo took Su Sanniang with him. Not only did he give lectures to the students in the small lecture class, but he also had a heart-to-heart talk with several prominent captains in the Tiandihui. Su Sanniang also had a chat with one of the female captains. I bowed my head to my god sister.
"The boatmen on the Chenjiang River have all taken care of the bow," Luo Yaoguo said confidently. "Sanniang and I spent a lot of time talking and finally let them know that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom must replace the Qing Dynasty. Of course they are willing Follow him in order to find a hero who founded the country. It’s just that the third brother Nan Wang needs to be summoned in person and rewarded with several official positions so that they can work hard. "
Xiao Chaogui asked: "How many ships do they have? How many troops and horses can they carry?"
Luo Yaoguo was mainly busy with the affairs of the lecturer group and the secret hall. The specific military affairs were left to Su Sanniang and Yu Mieqing, so he did not answer, but glanced at Su Sanniang.
Although Su Sanniang and Luo Yaoguo haven't bowed down yet, their close relationship has long been made public. Therefore, Hong Xuanjiao, who is also a court noble, already regards her as a younger sibling, and he doesn't dare to let her kneel all the time. After the ceremony, he stood next to Luo Yaoguo.
Now seeing Luo Yaoguo's eyes, he immediately replied: "They always have hundreds of boats. The more than 23,000 soldiers going north can take the boats. All the baggage and artillery can also be transported by water, which is very convenient. But Yu Mie Qing said that Cheng Cai, the governor of Huguang, is currently stationed in Hengyang. He has three thousand governors under his command, and they all followed him to Hengyang. This monster is as timid as a chicken, and Hengyang is not the city where he is responsible. If he had known that I would come out with 23,000 troops , we must abandon the city and go north. It would be better if we escape into Changsha, but if we slip away to Wuchang, the losses suffered by the King of the West will be great when he attacks the city in the future!
Therefore, together with Yu Miaqing, I thought that we could take the main force by boat along the Chenjiang River and let the incoming water slowly enter, and then detach an elite force to go overland to bypass Hengyang, go north along the east bank of the Xiangjiang River, and gallop towards Changsha..."
Xiao Chaogui didn't wait for Su Sanniang to finish what he said, and nodded heavily and said: "Okay! I'll trouble my eighth brother to lead this extraordinary army in person. It's not that I'm lazy and timid, but my fate is in conflict with Changsha... Next time we fight against Wuchang, I will You must take the lead!" Seeing that Xiao Chaogui had made up his mind to walk around Changsha, Luo Yaoguo was helpless - after all, it was "Ji Du's warning", and it would be troublesome if Xiao Chaogui didn't believe it!
"Of course," Luo Yaoguo thought for a while, "Brother-in-law, it's okay for me to lead troops to attack Changsha, but I don't have many elite soldiers under my command. I wonder if I can borrow some troops from the former army to lead them?"
"Okay!" Jian Chaogui agreed without hesitation, "I will send Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to bring two thousand Guangxi brothers with you! You can delegate the charge into the battle to them."
Luo Yao, the imperial concubine, handed over his hand and said, "There is one more thing I have to trouble my brother-in-law."
King Xiao Xi waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "What's the matter? Just say it."
Chapter completed!
