Chapter 581 Why can't I be the governor?

In Tongjiabao, in the command post of the fifth town, the town general Zhao Ziqiang sat on a chair with his legs raised on the desk. He was happily holding a hookah coated with enamel and sucking. With every breath, the sound of "gu" would be made in the chimney. Unlike Zhao Ziqiang's comfort, the face of the deputy general Lu Guangzu was very ugly. Lu Guangzu could not stand the smell of smoke if he didn't smoke. If it weren't for Yu Shizhong's unauthorized dispatch of troops, he would not have suffered in this room.

Seeing Zhao Ziqiang's appearance, he thought about his nervousness when he heard the news, Lu Guangzu was quite self-deprecating. This relationship was really because the emperor was not in a hurry. You Zhao Ziqiang are the chief general of the fifth town, and I, Lu Guangzu, are just the deputy general. If something really happened to Yu Shizhong's brigade, the unlucky one must be you, Zhao Ziqiang, and then I, Lu Guangzu!

But Lu Guangzu was useless. Until now, Zhao Ziqiang has been sucking his hookah. If Lu Guangzu hadn't been here, the concubine behind Guangxi Governor Chen Weixin would have to come to beat Zhao Ziqiang's legs and shoulders. If it weren't for his death, he would have to do something in this room. Lu Guangzu, left and right, had bumped into Zhao Ziqiang's affairs several times. Lu Guangzu could see clearly what the concubine looked like.

"Ahem"

The smell of smoke in this room made Lu Guangzu really unable to stand it. He coughed twice and complained very much. Zhao Ziqiang was really good. He had not smoked in Guangdong, but when he arrived in Guangxi, he learned to smoke. It is said that the hookah in his hand was obtained from the Guilin Prefect's Office, and the owner was Feng Jin, the prefect of Guilin. This hookah is worth a lot of money. If it was sold, it would probably be worth at least 180 taels of silver.

Perhaps Lu Guangzu's coughing sound worked, Zhao Ziqiang finally reacted. After sucking two more cigarettes, he threw the chimney on the table, stretched his waist while getting up and said casually: "It's going to rain, my mother wants to get married, and Yu Shizhong wants to pretend to be a hero, so let him pretend. Are you so nervous?"

After hearing this, Lu Guangzu became anxious: "Brother Zhao, Yu Shizhong clearly doesn't take you seriously!"

If he did not obey the orders of the town general, he would naturally not take the town general seriously. Zhao Ziqiang smiled and said distractedly: "Yu Shizhong is from the old Taiping Army town. He was also the one who transferred me to Zhao Ziqiang to mix sand and monitor me. He wanted to take me seriously. The general was afraid that he would not be at ease with me, Zhao Ziqiang."

"That's right, but Yu Shizhong is from our fifth town. Why should he not obey the military order and go south without authorization? If everyone learns from him, how can we lead the fifth town in the future? Yu Shizhong does not obey the military order and must be punished!"

Lu Guangzu was a little angry. If he didn't offer this evil example, he would not be able to open it. If he wanted to open it, he would not be able to take the fifth town in the future.

"Yu Shizhong has already gone south with Brigade B. What's the use of saying this now? How can I punish him? If I really want to sue, I'm not a human inside or outside."

Perhaps because he felt that the smell of cigarettes in the room was indeed a little stronger, Zhao Ziqiang went to open the window. Outside, more than a dozen guards were holding their swords. As the window opened, a breeze suddenly blew into the room, which also made Lu Guangzu's dizzy head clearer.

What Zhao Ziqiang said is true. Since Yu Shizhong has disobeyed his orders and led his troops south, it is useless to say anything he says now. He is a general of the town, but he has no right to deal with the voyage school. If he really wants to make trouble at the Military Commander's Mansion, he may not be able to avoid the war avoidance in the past half month. However, as the deputy general, Lu Guangzu did not fulfill his responsibilities of the deputy general's persuasion, and he must be implicated in his reputation.

Thinking of this headache, Lu Guangzu shook his head and asked Zhao Ziqiang tentatively: "What should I do now? You can't really watch something happening in Boutique C. Otherwise, let Li Guoan and Hu Mingyi go south too? No matter how hard they can't be beaten, they have to go and fight, otherwise the Grand Marshal would probably not be able to explain it."

Li Guoan was originally the Qianzong General of the Conghua Green Camp, and now he was the voyage school of the A-British Brigade in the Fifth Town. Hu Mingyi was originally a soldier in the Green Camp. He was considered to be the nephew of Hu Qili, the general of the Seventh Town. He was most likely because he could be the voyage school of the B-British Brigade in the Fifth Town because he surrendered early. Li Guoan relied on real contributions and also rose step by step. In the Battle of Chaohui, Li Guoan's performance was no worse than Zhao Ziqiang. Now the two of them led a brigade to be stationed near Tongbao Mountain. The nearest Li Guoan's voyage was less than ten miles away from Yu Shizhong.

"Xian Guoan is fighting around Xiaobei Mountain. Now Shao Jiugong must point at us to help him rescue him. Since Yu Shizhong has gone, let's just go too."

To be honest, Lu Guangzu did not really want to rescue Shao Jiugong, but thought about himself. The fifth town has been wandering north and has not fought with the Qing army. This is certainly because the Qing army has progressed too quickly after the Battle of Dushan Prefecture and suffered two minor defeats in succession. The fifth town did not have time to make effective adjustments and could only choose to break off contact with the Qing army. But more importantly, Zhao Ziqiang and Lu Guangzu both became timid because of the Battle of Dushan Prefecture and the chaotic night in Nandan City.

The meaning is that he dare not take the elite soldiers of Guoan, so if the military commander's office really needs to be investigated, Zhao Ziqiang is indeed unlucky, and his deputy general may not have good results. If Yu Shizhong had not appeared, Lu Guangzu would have gritted his teeth and held on with Zhao Ziqiang, waiting for Liuzhou to decide the victory or defeat, or if the army was settled for a long time and lost its aura before making a decision, the abacus could not be struck. Yu Shizhong made this move, but put him and Zhao Ziqiang on the fire.

Unexpectedly, after hearing what he said, Zhao Ziqiang said in hatred: "No! Why do you want me to help him Shao Jiugong? His 20,000 or 30,000 people under him, so how can I need my fifth town?"

Lu Guangzu was stunned for a moment, thinking that Zhao Ziqiang was talking angry, so he advised: "Shao Jiugong is the governor after all, and our fifth town is under his control."

It would be fine if he didn't say this, but Zhao Ziqiang was even more annoyed and cursed: "In terms of credit, can he compare to me? I was in Chaozhou for the general to suppress the Qing army in the north and where was Shao Jiugong? When I took Guilin for the general, where was he? Now, he has no credit, so he became the governor of Guangxi earlier by joining the general. In turn, I asked me to obey his command. Everyone is a general. Why can he be the governor of Guangxi when he can be the governor of Guangxi? I ​​can't be the governor of Shao Jiugong? What's the difference between my fifth town and his fourth town!"

Lu Guangzu did not expect that Zhao Ziqiang had always been dissatisfied with Shao Jiugong as the governor of Guangxi, and was shocked and said nothing.
