Lu Jianying and Chang Dachun also opened their eyes this year, understood the advanced aspects of foreigners, and sighed: "Can we only learn from foreign countries to be strong!"

Chang Dachun also looked sad when he heard Lu Jianying's sigh.

Li Yunzhong didn't know how to answer them. Could you tell them that slavery was replaced by feudalism, feudalism was replaced by capitalism, and capitalism was replaced by [***], these are all historical trends?

I'm afraid that if Lu Jianying said it, he would be the first to rebel himself.

Seeing that they were depressed, Li Yunzhong could only comfort him as much as possible: "High school is the body and Western learning is the application. We are just learning the advanced aspects of foreigners and removing the bad slap. Just as Wei Yuan said, learn from the strengths of the barbarians to control the barbarians! And

It is not a complete denial of Chinese culture."

"Learn from the barbarians' skills to control the barbarians?" Lu Jianying seemed to have some insight, understood Li Yunzhong's good intentions, and sincerely praised him: "The emperor doesn't have to do this. We are not a person who is not a person who is old and can't transform himself. As long as the emperor thinks it makes sense,

As ministers, we can only support the emperor, after all, the emperor belongs to the emperor!”

Li Yunzhong lamented: It would be vain to say for a long time, how could this world belong to me?

Zeng Guofan felt that he had no direction to fight. In Hubei, he finally drove Yang Pei away and came again. In Jiangxi, Chen Qimai was impeached and dismissed from office, and Wen Jun was replaced. The emperor was too ignorant, so Zeng Guofan decided to go home and stay some

At that time, when the building is about to collapse, come out and accept the order in the face of danger and bargain.

Guo Songtao watched Zeng Guofan get the gifts cleaned up and advised for the last time: "Why do you have to do this by the Grand Marshal? We are all very sad when my aunt passed away. However, the situation in Jiangxi is critical and it is impossible to save the Grand Marshal. Why do you have to go back to Hunan?"

Feeling that the official was light, Zeng Guofan took a deep breath and said to the generals in the room: "My son did not perform his filial piety well before his mother died. He has been running around. Now that my mother has passed away, can I still stay away from my side to keep filial piety!"

Zhu Sunyi has been promoted to Jiangxi Censorate, so he has deep feelings for Jiangxi. He followed everyone and said, "The general can seize love. Now the Hunan Army cannot leave the general, and Jiangxi cannot leave the general! The general thinks twice!"

Guo Songtao followed and advised: "Yes, Grand Marshal, if you apply for the robbery, the emperor will definitely approve it. This will avoid criticism from the world. Grand Marshal should consider the people of the world!"

Zeng Guofan had made up his mind this time. He was so disappointed with Xianfeng. He advised him softly when he used the Hunan Army. He made a lot of benefits. When he couldn't use the Hunan Army, he threw him aside.

No matter whether he was asked, the position of governor and governor he had promised had fallen to others. He was the title of minister and now he was still the title of minister. His generals and officials under his command were promoted higher than him. How could he feel?

"I have already talked to Hubei Governor Hu Linyi about the situation in Jiangxi. He will send someone to command. You should cooperate well and don't ruin the friendship between me and Lord Hu because of a fight of will!"

Seeing that Zeng Guofan was determined to leave, Guo Songtao was anxious and broke the jar and said bluntly: "The Hunan Army was created by the commander-in-chief. Without the commander-in-chief, the Hunan Army would no longer be the Hunan Army! Since the adults only care about what they cannot get

Rewarding and returning home was very contrary to our original intention of establishing the Hunan Army! Then we might as well get rid of our army and return home as soon as possible, so as not to return to our hometown to avoid the great man's ability to settle the score with us in the autumn!"

Zeng Guofan was so exhausted by Guo Songtao that he coughed hard. As a Neo-Confucianist, he valued the word "integrity" the most in his life. He always kept his mouth in "integrity". He heard Guo Songtao ridicule him for forgetting his righteousness when he saw profit. He was furious and could not do so for a long time.

Calm, I felt a little more grudge against Guo Songtao, and I pretended to be a good example and replied: "The official has a funeral for his parents and must return to his hometown to be filial. This is a practice. How can I go against it because of me alone? Come back to the camp quickly

Zhong led the army, and now the short-haired Li Yunzhong is promoted to the emperor, busy with the great title of meritorious officials. The Jiangxi Governor Zhao Liewen just arrived in Jiangxi and must be familiar with military and civil affairs. No war has happened for the time being, so you don’t have to worry.”

When everyone saw Zeng Guofan bringing a few servants, they disappeared directly into the eyes of everyone, and their hearts became unreliable.

When Hu Linyi was promoted to the governor of Hubei, the Hunan Army could command less than 10,000 people. Five months later, the Yongding expanded to 20,000 people. Seven months later, it reached 30,000 people. Ten months later, even more.

It surged to 40,000 people, and now there are 50,000 Hunan Army alone, which has an early increase of the total number of people during the Zeng Guofan period.

Of course, it takes a lot of money to support this huge team. It takes 300,000 taels of silver per month, and 3.6 million taels a year. Hu Linyi has long understood that it is easy to recruit bravely in the Qing Dynasty, but it is difficult to provide for it.

If the Yongding, who cannot be recruited by money, cannot be paid after being recruited, the Yongding will not only be disobedient, but will instead force Shangguan to pay the salary and cause trouble everywhere. Hu Linyi has a deep understanding of this in the last battle in Wuchang.

Zeng Guofan said it well, to be a god of war, please ask for the god of wealth first. Hu Linyi has already thought of all the solutions. Guizhou, Yunnan, Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Hunan have to provide food and salary for the Hunan Army in Hubei every year. He also reformed the land tax, donation, and salt tax.

It was not until the Lijin policy that Xuzhou Qishan came up with Xuzhou, that the Hunan Army was on track.

In just one year, Wuhan, run by Hu Linyi, has been the second base camp of the Hunan Army.

Luo Zenan walked into the tent and said to the contemplative Hu Linyi: "Sir, I guess there is not much food left in Wuchang City. Are you attacking the city now?"

Hu Linyi said: "No hurry. This time our Hunan Army must annihilate Changmao's system in Hubei. The last time we conquered Wuchang, let Changmao's main force escape. This resulted in Wuchang's resurgence of the thief. After Chunting conquered it, he

Hanchuan, it’s not too late to defeat Wuchang again!”

Luo Zenan said anxiously: "Jiangxi came to report that short-mao was reorganizing the military and preparing for the military, and seemed to intend to capture Nanchang. Jiangxi is the frontier position in Hubei. If it is lost, Hubei will definitely be shocked. How can we annihilate the rebels? I am afraid that we will defend the huge Hubei capital.

Become a problem!”

Hu Linyi said in surprise: "Since there is something wrong in Nanchang, the battle between Wuchang will be decided quickly! Since ancient times, there is no good strategy for siege in the city. We cannot only take advantage of tricks like last time. You lead the troops to attack the North Gate. I lead the army to attack the other two walls, leaving only Wenchang Gate.

Don't attack."

Luo Zenan took the order and left.

Since Qin Yuegang was granted the title of King Yan, Wei Jun has been crazy jealous. He knows that the Heavenly King cannot sign the two Wei brothers as kings at the same time, but this conquest of Wuchang was all due to Wei Jun. Why did Qin Yuegang?

Become a king!
