Peng Shouxi, a native of Wanzai County, was a juren. Since he was admitted to the juren, his family gradually turned from poverty to wealth. During this period, he used all kinds of ruthless means to exploit villagers and tenants. However, the good times did not last long. The Han army attacked Jiangxi and hunted him everywhere for people who were rich and unkind. A year ago, Ji'an Prefecture fell, and Peng Shouxi paid for money and recruited 1,000 township heroes himself.

Liu Tai, the county magistrate of Wanzai County, pointed at the official document of Peng Shouxi urging grain. The long-accumulated anger finally burst out and shouted to the master: "This Peng is such a bastard. He comes to ask for food every few days! He thinks I am the God of Wealth! How much money can my little seventh-rank sesame official plunder in a year! It's all filled in his bottomless pit. Now, not only does it not make money, but it also pays it in! I'm so angry! I have to teach him a lesson this time!"

His family knows his family affairs, and his master also thinks that Peng Shouxi has done a bit too much. He is an official for money for thousands of miles! The Guang, who was surnamed Peng, thinks about his future and ignores his life or death. As a master, he must do his duty and responsibility: "Sir, Peng Shouxi is highly praised by Zeng Shaved. I heard that he has recommended it to the governor and plans to reuse it. At this time, it is not appropriate to offend anyone with the surname Peng. Besides, Peng Shouxi is not an ordinary person. Half a year ago, Shanggao County was captured by the rioters, and he sent troops to recover it. It was a sudden fall. It was not good for us."

Liu Tai was not afraid that Peng Shouxi would be strong. Although the Qing Dynasty was a barbarian and valued military merits, it had been established for more than 200 years, and using civilized military force had become a common practice. If Peng Shouxi did things indiscriminately, he would have an excuse to do it.

"I just worry about shaving my head. He led the Hunan Army to move around Tongcheng and Yiningzhou, less than a hundred miles away from us. He is also entitled as the Minister of War. How could I, a small county magistrate, beat him?"

The master came up with a plan and immediately said: "I heard that Master Futai and Zeng's hair shaving are not happy. Why don't you treat Master Futai as your backer? Why don't you be afraid of him shaving his hair shaving in this way?"

When Liu Tai knew that the master had a countermeasure, he immediately smiled and urged: "Let me quickly, I have been tolerating these martial artists for a long time. Now Shorthair has no momentum to attack, and it is the time to deal with Peng Shouxi."

The master whispered: "The Lord invited Peng Shouxi to the banquet. The person surnamed Peng must be unprepared. The Lord captured him and sent him to Nanchang. He framed him for some crimes. The Lord Futai will not let him go."

After hearing the master's plan, Liu Tai still had some questions and frowned and asked, "If Lord Futai let him go for Zeng Guofan's sake, wouldn't I beg you both sides, and you are not a human being inside and outside!"

Master Ji smiled: "Hehe... Just because Peng Shouxi had a good relationship with Zeng's hair shaving, Master Futai University would not let him go. Master Futai University hates Zeng's hair shaving. Just like you hate Peng Shouxi, you can shave Zeng's hair shaving ugly, how can Master Futai University miss it!"

The magistrate Liu Tai smiled and said, "Miscellaneous plan, you should go and invite Peng Shouxi to the banquet now, and say I have prepared the food and grass and wait for him to pick it up."

As expected, the matter was as the master thought. When Jiangxi Governor Chen Qimai received a report from the local government, he immediately sent someone to take Peng Shouxi to Nanchang and beat him up. He finally felt angry. Zeng Guofan repeatedly beat his fellow villagers and friends to urge food and pay, forcing his own dignified governor to become an accountant. He calculated this and that all day long. The most hateful thing was that he had to bear the reputation of harming the local area. Zeng Guofan actually got the reputation of saving the local area!

Looking at Zeng Guofan's consultation on the promotion of Peng Shouxi, Chen Qimai shouted wildly to the torture clerk: "Beat! Beat me hard! Keeping a warrior like this that is harmful is also a disaster, and beating me to death!"

Compared with Chen Qimai's pleasure, Zeng Guofan was completely different. He had accumulated a half-year suffocation. He believed that Chen Qimai's actions were a public insult to himself. He could no longer care about the relationship between fellow villagers and friends. He wanted to rush into Nanchang with his troops and humiliate Chen's surname.

Guo Songtao looked at Zeng Guofan with a red face and stopped the order to gather troops and advised: "Master General, be calm! The situation in Jiangxi has aroused a move. If we leave northern Jiangxi and short-haired people take advantage of the situation, we will really not be able to get out of the situation. This northern Jiangxi is the only way out for our Hunan Army, and we cannot lose it!"

Aide Chen Shijie also felt that doing this would only give him a momentary aura and would not help the future of the Hunan Army. Seeing that Zeng Guofan's heart was ups and downs, he was obviously stimulated. If he didn't give up his anger, he would not give up. He had an idea and said to Zeng Guofan: "You are leaving Chen Qimai with a slander. It is better to write a memorial and write a book of the seal and force him to leave Jiangxi. In this way, in order to stabilize the situation in Jiangxi, the emperor will definitely appoint the general as the governor of Jiangxi. By then, the Hunan Army will not only open up the situation, but also give up the best of both worlds."

Zeng Guofan suddenly became quiet and felt that what Chen Shijie said made sense. He immediately waved his hand and wrote a memorial and ordered people to send it to the capital.

Xianfeng covered his face with his hands weakly. He just received the news that He Chun died in Fujian the day before yesterday. Today, he received the bad news that Jiang Zhongyuan died in Luzhou, Anhui. He was exhausted. He no longer remembers how many Qing governors died in battle, suicide, or were locked up to death, from Lin Zexu to He Chun, from Sai Shanga to Xiangrong, from Zhang Guoliang to Jiang Zhongyuan...

Su Shun carefully handed over a memorial and said, "Your Majesty, this is a memorial from Zeng Guofan of Jiangxi. Should the emperor take a look?"

Xianfeng will be silent and only one word will come from between his fingers: pronounce it.

Sushun took a few steps back, opened the memorial, and read it loudly: Zeng Guofan wrote a letter crying and blood. As the minister of the family, he set up a group training to eliminate the rebels. Wherever he went, he was criticized. He was almost unable to tolerate the whole country. He thought about it and had a conflict in his heart. His mother was seriously ill, and he could not serve him. He was embarrassed to advance and retreat. However, what the governor of Jiangxi Chen Qimai did really made me feel disappointed.

I am the same hometown as Chen Chimai. In the same year, I was a Hanlin man and have always had a good relationship. Since he was the governor of Jiangxi, I have worked together for several months. Judging from his mistakes and omissions, I should say that it is normal, which leads to military affairs chaos and the discussions are booming. It is not as expected by me. The great situation left by Jiang Minqiao will never return. The relationship between the officials in the border area is not light. Since I have seen something, I am deeply afraid that Chen Chimai will ruin the country and ask the emperor to sage the emperor."

Xianfeng heard Zeng Guofan complaining a lot, just to drive Chen Qimai away, considering the gains and losses.
