Li Zhenxiao said: "My plan for the appointment of officials from the Ministry of Education is to still use the military establishment and appoint them according to the levels of brigade, regiment and battalion. This appointment method is good for our current development, because this The method is simple enough and is conducive to our current development, but if it is too complicated, it will be bad."
Zheng Zaoru and Huang Shihai were stunned when they heard this.
The two of them looked at each other and felt that they had been cheated, because this suggestion was really beyond their expectations. They originally thought that Li Zhen would have some strange and unexpected suggestions, but they did not expect that it was such an 'unexpected' one.
Seeing this, Li Zhen asked with a smile: "Why, do you feel bad?"
"No, very good, very good."
Huang Shihai nodded repeatedly, with a smile on his face.
Zheng Zaoru also said: "Very good." He spoke as preciously as gold, and only used two words.
Li Zhen said: "Since you all think the suggestion is good, let's settle it. After Huang Shihai goes down, he will finalize the charter, then submit it to me for confirmation, and then print it out. Mr. Zheng just came to help me with my work. It won't take long, but you You are talented, I can't wrong you, and temporarily appoint you as the battalion commander. After you go down, you must quickly organize personnel under the Ministry of Education. The selected people must be able to speak well. I will randomly check and evaluate these people. If For those who fail to think clearly and speak in an incoherent manner, you can apologize for it yourself. I have provided everything you need, but I also have requirements, and I would rather give up than waste."
Zheng Zaoru said loudly: "Don't worry, sir, I will definitely live up to your expectations."
Li Zhen looked at Huang Shihai and said, "Tell me about the situation of the prisoners."
Huang Qiang nodded and said: "Fifteen thousand prisoners, after some selection, two thousand soldiers were selected. These two thousand soldiers passed through Mr. Zheng and other people in the army who educated the prisoners to ensure that these two thousand soldiers The remaining 13,000 people, under the guidance of officials from the Ministry of Education headed by Mr. Zheng, all changed their minds and went to Guangdong. After the people left, the development of Guangdong will definitely rise to a higher level. "
"very good,."
Li Zhen praised him a lot, with a look of satisfaction on his face.
With two thousand more soldiers in the army, its strength has been further enhanced. At the same time, as Guangdong has more people, its development will also increase. This will be of great benefit to Guangdong in the future.
Huang Shihai continued: "Everything in the camp is fine, except that the captured Li Xiucheng still refuses to let go. This guy would rather die than surrender. His bones are too hard."
Li Zhen said: "It doesn't matter, he can't hold on for too long, so I won't care about him for now."
Li Zhen knew very well about Li Xiucheng.
After Li Xiucheng joined the army as an unknown soldier, he quickly gained Yang Xiuqing's important position. Because Li Xiucheng was grateful for Yang Xiuqing's important use and respected Yang Xiuqing very much. He would rather die than live up to Yang Xiuqing's important use. Li Zhen wanted to conquer Li Xiucheng and Yang Xiuqing. It was obviously impossible not to die, so Li Zhen waited patiently for Yang Xiuqing to be killed.
Li Zhen has enough patience for this.
Li Zhen changed the subject and asked: "What's going on with the gentry near Yangzhou recently?"
Huang Shihai said: "The gentry have begun to purchase grain and restricted the entry of grain into Nanjing. However, it is the end of summer and Nanjing has also begun to enter the stage of harvesting grain. The Taiping Army in Nanjing has grain, and there will be no food shortage for a while. Given the situation, their food control in Nanjing will not be effective until autumn."
Li Zhen rolled his eyes and understood the intentions of the gentry.
The gentry did not purchase grain on a large scale. They wanted to deal with Hong Xiuquan in a gentle and unobtrusive way so as not to expose their own situation. Li Zhen did not pursue it and waved his hand: "The basic things are clear. Let's go down. I will rest for a while." .”
The two said goodbye, and Li Zhen rested in the tent.
In the evening, Li Zhen ordered the whole army to celebrate.
After some celebrations, the soldiers in the army became very drunk and staggered in the camp. In the entire military camp, only the soldiers of a regiment under Smith were still awake and guarding the camp.
For three consecutive days after Li Zhen returned to the camp, the camp was filled with joy and celebrations.
After three days, the camp became quiet.
Training in the camp has returned to normal and is on track.
…
Nanjing, Dongwangfu.
Yang Xiuqing stood at the door of the hall, looking eagerly outside, his eyes full of expectation. The soldiers standing guard around him were surprised to see Yang Xiuqing personally greeting them, and they began to guess who the person Yang Xiuqing was greeting could be. Knowing that Yang Xiuqing is nine thousand years old, he is already inferior to one person and superior to ten thousand people.
Even when Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, came, Yang Xiuqing never welcomed him like this.
Who is it that has such a big face?
A steady and powerful sound of footsteps came from outside.
After a while, a burly man walked in. This man was wearing a suit of armor. He placed his left hand on the hilt of the sword at his waist and strode forward. Every step was steady and powerful, exuding a sense of toughness. He has a Chinese character face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, two thick beards hanging on his lips, and stubble under his chin, giving him a rough feeling.
In particular, his eyebrows were like two long swords, and he had a murderous aura. As soon as this man appeared, the soldiers standing at the door widened their eyes and showed surprise.
Yang Xiuqing went up to meet him and shouted: "King Yi, I have been waiting for you for a long time, brother, and I can't wait to see you."
The person who came was surprisingly King Yi Shi Dakai.
He withdrew from Jiangxi on Yang Xiuqing's order, and only returned to Nanjing today. Shi Dakai first went to see Hong Xiuquan, and then rushed to the Dongwang Mansion to meet Yang Xiuqing. Shi Dakai looked at Yang Xiuqing and said: "I haven't seen you for a long time, brother. Brother Qing has been reduced." , I think I have worked too hard during this period of time, so I need to pay attention to my health."
Yang Xiuqing took Shi Dakai's hand and said, "Let's go into the palace and talk."
The two of them entered the palace, leaving the shocked soldiers at the door.
One of them asked in a low voice: "What happened? Why are all the Yi Kings back?" Shi Dakai had unparalleled prestige among the soldiers of the Taiping Army and was the God of War who won consecutive battles.
When Shi Dakai came back, the soldiers were extremely surprised.
Another person smiled coldly and said disdainfully: "Don't you know about the defeat of King Dong and Queen Xiao? King Yi led his soldiers back to Tianjing to deal with Li Zhen."
The soldier who just started speaking nodded, showing understanding.
In the main hall, Yang Xiuqing and Shi Dakai took their seats.
Yang Xiuqing did not sit on the throne above the main hall, but sat on the left side of the main hall, because sitting on the throne above would easily distance him from Shi Dakai. Anyone who could help Yang Xiuqing himself, or who he needed, Yang Xiuqing Everyone will sit down below to facilitate conversation.
Shi Dakai put the long sword beside him and said with a serious expression: "Brother Dongwang, when I returned to the city, I got the news of the defeat of Brother Wang and Queen Xiao. Is this Li Zhen really so powerful?"
"Very impressive."
Yang Xiuqing nodded, a flash of fear flashing in his eyes.
