Nanjing Military Conference

Lin Daji pointed to Jiujiang City on the map and informed the situation of the battle: "Your Majesty, it has been more than half a month since the Hunan Army attacked Jiujiang. They have completely cut off Jiujiang's external contact. Our army's 30,000 reinforcements concentrated in Nanchang only attacked near Ruichang. The front-line generals responded that the Hunan Army had a large number of foreign guns and requested support from the foreign gun team."

Yang Kailin grew up in Hunan and knew the best of the terrain around Hunan. He advised: "Hunan is an inland province. If you want to receive foreign guns, you can only go from Guangdong and the Yangtze River. Please order a strict investigation by the emperor. The source of foreign guns in the Hunan Army will be cut off!"

Li Xiucheng laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Yang doesn't know that my Jiangsu Provincial Yangtze River Inspection Department has strictly searched the passing ships, but these annihilation merchants always have a way to entrain them. Last month, someone actually put the foreign gun in the water and tied it to the bottom of the ship. If someone didn't report it, who would have seen it? It would be better to think about it."

Seeing Li Xiucheng confidently, Li Yunzhong asked, "What method do you have? Just come!"

Li Xiucheng stood up and saluted: "Your Majesty, if you want to cut off the source of the Hunan Army's foreign guns, you must eradicate the source. Weichen has posted notices in Shanghai and other places, and the transaction of arms and other materials is not allowed. Violators are confiscated. In just half a month, three foreign companies have been investigated and punished, and more than 1,200 foreign guns are confiscated."

"Is it effective?" Li Yunzhong asked calmly.

Li Xiucheng's face turned slightly red and lowered his head and said, "It's quite effective."

Li Yunzhong did not point it out and took a deep breath: "Equipped with foreign guns by the Hunan Army is very harmful to our army. We must start from several aspects. First, all businessmen who do business in the Han Dynasty must register with the Chamber of Commerce. If they violate the law, they must closely monitor their partners;

Second, focus on monitoring businessmen from Hunan, and these people are most concerned about the cause of the Hunan Army;

Third, foreigners are greedy and continue to announce that they will enjoy 30% of the transaction share for those who report illegal transactions, no matter who they report.

This battle is crucial to me shouting. During this period, we must be strictly guarded and never allow any negligence."

Li Xiucheng wanted to speak but stopped, and finally plucked up the courage to say, "I suspect that foreign warships also transport arms to the Hunan Army. They ignored our army's order to stop the ship for inspection and drove straight west. When they came back, the ship was filled with silk and porcelain."

The smell of gunpowder in Europe is getting heavier and the great man has another 15,000 foreign gun team. What kind of people are they afraid of! Li Yunzhong ordered seriously: "In the future, all foreign warships and cargo ships must be inspected. Violators should be treated as collusion with the enemy, and the artillery cannons cannons to sink them."

Seeing that the foreign guns came to an end, Zhang Suimu stood up and said, "Today is November 11th. Zuo Zongtang, Guangdong, Zeng Shuiyuan, Jiangxi, has sent troops. The General Staff has mobilized 50,000 troops to be stationed in Xiaolingwei. He can support Jiujiang at any time and fight the Hunan Army in a decisive battle."

"I have a plan to wipe out the Hunan Army!" Li Xiucheng had a sudden inspiration and spoke in a shocking voice.

Li Yunzhong said: "What strategy?"

Li Xiucheng came to the map, pointed at Jiujiang, and said, "If the Hunan Army conquered Jiujiang, it would definitely send troops to attack Anqing. Our army sent elite troops from Jiangxi to attack Wuhan and Jiujiang. In this way, the Hunan Army could surround the city of Anqing. Without any money and food to supplement it, the Hunan Army would not last for three months!"

As deputy chief of staff, Yang Kailin retorted: "This plan is too dangerous, and there is no danger to defend from Jiujiang to Anqing. If the Hunan Army bypasses Anqing, the third sentence will be the army at the city of Nanjing. At that time, the morale of the army will be shaken. How can our Han explain to the people? Besides, our army does not have to fight an annihilation war. As long as the Hunan Army is defeated, it will not be able to recover its vitality within two years."

Although Yang Kailin did not join the Hunan Army, he had a subtle relationship with the Hunan Army. He was from Xiangxiang, Hunan, and most of the backbone of the Hunan Army were his fellow villagers. Because they were both scholars, they usually bowed their heads and did not look up. When they encountered festivals or something, they would gather together to recite poems and couple. They had a deep friendship. Now, although they were their own leaders and fought with each other, he believed that both public and private should protect their fate and serve the Han Dynasty.

Yang Jinlong, the Minister of War, praised: "Staff General Yang said it well. How could Jiujiang give up easily? I asked the emperor to send troops!"

Li Yunzhong nodded slightly, thinking that all the students in the first phase of the military academy had graduated and could build a new military model: "Now I order: the foreign gun team is adapted into the New First Army, Chen Yu becomes the commander of the New First Army, with the third division under his jurisdiction, Tan Shaoguang, Huang Jinwen, and Bai Yinwu as the commander."

Seeing everyone standing up and standing attentively, Li Yunzhong paused and continued: "Appoint Li Xiu as the general of the Western Expedition, Zhao Liewen also served as the chief of staff, leading the New First Army, the First Division, the Eighth Army, the Ninth Army and the Navy to support Jiujiang! Control all the troops in Anhui and Jiangxi."

Li Xiucheng had amazement. Compared to the governor of Jiangsu, he was more willing to go to the front line to fight. When he heard such an order at first, he was excited and incoherent: "I will repay you with death, thank you the emperor!"

...

"It's snowing!"

Li Yunzhong was woken up by the laughing and laughing outside early in the morning. When he heard that it was snowing, Li Yunzhong started to do his health. He remembered that Su Sanniang had been waiting for delivery these days, so he hurriedly put on his clothes and washed up briefly.

Fu Shanxiang's black and shiny hair was covered with a layer of white snow, the snow-white cloak shone brightly under the sunlight, and there was still moisture on his long eyelashes.

"Look at how much snow you have on you, be careful of catching a cold!" Lieutenant General Fu Shanxiang hugged her in his arms and cleaned up the snow on her body. Of course, he was indispensable to rushing and taking a lot of oil.

The more traditional Fu Shanxiang still couldn't stand it. He looked around and said softly: "Your Majesty, I haven't touched enough last night!"

Li Yunzhong threw other things out of the sky in an instant, and Yinsheng said, "I can't touch it in my life!"

"Puchi" Fu Shanxiang laughed, avoided Li Yunzhong's claws, and reminded: "Emperor, the Empress is still waiting for you! Didn't the Imperial Doctor say that the child was born in these two days? Don't miss it!"

"Birth! Born! Husband, Queen, sister of the queen!" Xu Yuexiang ran into the yard in a blink of an eye, bent over the yard gate, gasping heavily, and shouted intermittently.

Li Yunzhong hurriedly stepped forward and helped Yuexiang up and asked, "What! Sanniang is really born!"

"Yeah" Xu Yuexiang nodded repeatedly.

"That's great, boy or girl?" Li Yunzhong stared at Xu Yuexiang's every move.

"girl"

Li Yunzhong couldn't wait to rush towards Yong'an Palace.

"Wow, wow, wow, wow," Li Yunzhong, who was still outside the door, heard the baby's crying and couldn't wait to push open the door.

"See the Emperor"

"No gifts" Li Yunzhong slowly walked towards the midwife, carefully took the child over, and walked to Su Sanniang to sit down.

Looking at Su Sanniang's pale face, Li Yunzhong felt very distressed: "Look, this is our child, Sanniang. I still clearly remember when we first met, and I swear that I must marry you and have children. I didn't expect that my dreams will come true now. God treats me very well!"

"Puchi..." Su Sanniang smiled: "You still have the face to mention it. At that time, I thought you were a hero, so I sent troops to rescue you. Before you arrived, you saw someone for the first time, so I stared at them for a long time. I wondered at the time, how could this baby with a bad baby have such a big career? There are so many brothers willing to die for him, and they are even more responsive among the people."

Li Yunzhong remembered that he was taken to Xunzhou to be executed and sighed: "At that time, I regretted dying in vain and was suddenly saved. I met a woman like Sanniang, who is so beautiful as a woman, of course I would be obsessed with it. Unfortunately, you ignored me at that time."

"I am a vassal and a thief leader. How can I be worthy of you? If you hadn't said so many shameful words to me, I wouldn't have obeyed you!" Su Sanniang remembered that she was the last night in Changsha at that time, her face turned red.

Li Yunzhong laughed and said, "That's to start first. I know that I am not the only one in the army who is interested in you. If someone takes the lead, I will cry! Look at the children crying!"

Su Sanniang showed a tired smile and said reluctantly: "It's a pity that she is a daughter, and she can't pass on the family line for her husband!"

Li Yunzhong put the child beside the bed. The baby stopped crying and blinked at Su Sanniang. His cute look made Li Yunzhong laugh: "It's okay, the girl is very good too. Look how cute she is! I have always expected to have a daughter. As the saying goes: the daughter is the father's close-fitting little cotton jacket. This child will definitely be filial when he grows up. She is our first child, so it's called Yuanyu, which symbolizes that we get together because of fate and have endless words in our lives."

The midwife came over and advised carefully: "Your Majesty, please take care of your child for a while!"

Li Yunzhong patted his forehead and said repeatedly: "Yes, you have experience, I almost forgot, be careful!" Li Yunzhong put the child in the midwife's arms.

"Emperor, the Empress needs rest." The midwife took the child and frowned and reminded again.

Li Yunzhong was reluctant to leave, but unexpectedly, not only could he not be able to hold the child, but he didn't even let his wife accompany him. It seemed that Sanniang couldn't sleep when she stayed here. Li Yunzhong left two palace maids and midwife to serve him, and called out the others...

Hong Xuanjiao, Fu Shanxiang, Xu Yuexiang, and even Fu Luanxiang were outside. Seeing Li Yunzhong come out, he asked in unison: "Emperor, how is the Empress?"

Li Yunzhong smiled and said, "Have you been safe from your mother and son. You will send a few red envelopes to the guards, palace maids and servants in the palace. May God bless you!"

Hong Xuanjiao stepped forward and pulled Li Yunzhong's sleeve and asked in a sweet voice: "Have the emperor named the child?"

"I've thought about it for a long time!" Lieutenant General Yu Siye thought of the name truthfully said: "Yuanyu! What do you think of this name?"

"Li Yuanyu! Why does it look a bit like a boy's name?" Xu Yuexiang asked silly.

Fu Shanxiang chuckled: "At that time, the child was not born yet, so the emperor certainly didn't know whether it was a man or a woman, so it was not surprising that he gave this name."
