Zeng Guoquan and a woman were surrounded by soldiers and went to the apse, nodded with satisfaction, turned her head to look at the women who did not dare to speak in a pool of blood, waved her hand, and ordered the soldiers who were about to move: "Divide these women, one by one as slaves and maids, you make your own decisions!" ”

"Thank you Dashuai, Dashuai has been a marquis for generations!" Those pro-soldiers were so happy that they hurriedly beat thousands of women one by one to go down, and there was a bloody and strong one, who couldn't hold it back, and tore open the placket of a petite woman's clothes, and was ready to get up in the dark, Zeng Guoquan laughed and scolded, "Take it down, don't be embarrassed here!" Those women didn't dare to talk much, but they were too timid to resist, and they had to be taken down one by one, Zeng Guoquan turned around and slowly walked up to His Majesty, he thought to himself, Hong Xiuquan was so majestic and domineering when he was in this golden palace in the past?

Zeng Guoquan Zhi walked up proudly, turned around, smacked his lips, if there were no outsiders at this time, it must be okay to sit on Hong Xiuquan's dragon chair, thinking of this, looking around, the position of the dragon chair, Zeng Guoquan waved his hand, and silently thought in his heart, "Go to court!" ”

The gate of the Golden Palace, which was originally half-closed, was opened forcefully, and Zeng Guoquan squinted at the group of people who walked in, and saw the crowd surrounding his eldest brother, and the governor of Liangjiang walked in with a sinking face.

Zeng Guofan saw Zeng Guoquan standing on top of His Majesty Dan, and his face became more and more unpleasant, "Lao Jiu, what are you doing up there!" Zeng Guofan drank loudly.

Zeng Guoquan hurriedly put away Gu Panshengxiong's appearance, strode down, and smiled awkwardly at Zeng Guofan: "Big brother, why are you here, this army is in chaos, there are still many long-haired thieves in Jiangning City who stubbornly resist, this sword has no eyes......"

"If I don't come again, this Jiangning City will be damaged by you!" Zeng Guofan looked helpless, "Seal the knife, since the puppet king of the Hong family has already surrendered to the law." Don't kill any more! ”

"Big brother, the sons and daughters have left their hometowns so much, and they have not been able to sleep for a few days in the south and the north, but now they have made great contributions to Jiangning, how can they be uncomfortable for a few days!" Zeng Guoquan exclaimed. With a look of disbelief, "Why do you want to seal the knife so soon." "When Tenkyo fell. There were only more than 10,000 Taiping troops in the city, hundreds of thousands of ordinary people, and some people such as the Young Heavenly King broke through the city. "The old thieves of the two Guangxi provinces have come out of the city."

The Qing people recorded: "In the battle of Jinling, millions of corpses were ambushed, and Qin Huai was completely red; The sound of crying shook the four fields. "The so-called millions of corpses, in addition to the war dead, are the civilians slaughtered by Zeng Guofan inside and outside the city." Southern Anhui and Jiangning each genus. The people in the city cannibalize each other, or there is no cultivation for dozens of miles, and there is no cooking smoke in the village. ”

"Jingzhong has come to the will, don't kill indiscriminately," Zeng Guofan was also extremely helpless, but he couldn't disobey it, "except for the first offense." From thieves can not be killed! ”

"What bullshit!" Zeng Guoquan stopped doing it, and dropped the bloody scimitar in his hand, "These lords who dropped the book bag in Beijing, captured Jiangning City so quickly, and they were ready to hide the bow so quickly?" What's the matter, if I continue to let Erlang kill people. Are they ready to dismiss me? Lao Tzu is not willing to serve them, so he wants me to say, let me seal the knife, it is better to let Jiang Ningcheng continue to be in the hands of Changmao, let's make a show, and there is no shortage of military salaries and red tops, and the province is today. Okay, unload the mill and kill the donkey? ”

With the rapid development of the Taiping Rebellion, the status and role of the Hunan army became increasingly prominent, and the Hunan army group gradually gained local military and political power. In the fifth year of Xianfeng, the Qing court appointed Hu Linyi as the acting governor of Hubei, and he was in charge of Wuchang with the governor of Huguang. In the Qing Dynasty's bureaucratic system, the governor was more focused on military and political affairs, and the governor was more important for civil affairs, and military power should be attributed to official documents. However, the official literature was greedy and mediocre, and his knowledge was shallow, and he was reused by Emperor Xianfeng only because he was a nobleman with a white flag in Manchuria, and the combat effectiveness of his army was extremely poor. At the beginning of Hu Linyi's fufu of Hubei, every time the official documents were more restricted, although Hu Shen played, Emperor Xianfeng still issued a strict order to handle the military affairs of Hubei with the official documents. As a last resort, Hu Linyi changed his strategy and turned to make friends with the official documents, and each official document was the first merit, and he allocated 3,000 taels of salt every month, and let his mother recognize the concubine of the official document as a righteous daughter, and then commensurate with the official brothers. However, Hu Linyi did not collude with the official documents, but tried to use them. Guan Wen also knew very well that in this war environment, many governors were not good at leading troops, or died in the war or were dismissed from office, so they were also happy to rely on this Hu Linyi, who was respectful to him. In the official text, since Hu Linyi satisfied his preference for sound and lust, and agreed with his military and political propositions, it can be regarded as a courtesy exchange. As a result, Hu Linyi carried out drastic reforms to stabilize the situation in Hubei, so that he was in a favorable position to compete with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and provided a strong guarantee for Zeng Guofan.

After the Battle of Dagukou, Emperor Xianfeng made great efforts and ordered Zeng Guofan to supervise the military affairs of the four provinces of Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi and Zhejiang. In December, Zuo Zongtang was appointed as the governor of Zhejiang, Li Xuyi was appointed as the governor of Hubei, and Peng Yulin was appointed as the squire of the military department. In the first month of the following year, Zeng Guofan was ordered to co-organize the university with the governor of Liangjiang. In August, Liu Changyou was appointed governor of Liangguang. In December, Liu Changyou was transferred to the governorship of Zhili.

According to the old system of the Qing Dynasty, the governor was in charge of military affairs, but in addition to his own supervision battalion, he could not directly intervene in the affairs of the battalion beyond the commander; The governor of the civil affairs shall not interfere in the affairs of the camp except for his own standard camp; The political envoy is in charge of finance, directly under the household department; According to the procurator, he is in charge of judicial supervision and is directly subordinate to the Criminal Department. It can be seen that the military and political power is concentrated in the central government, and the local officials are each responsible for their own responsibilities and are not subordinate to each other, so no one can do their own things and can only obey the orders of the central authorities. In the same year of Xian, especially in the early years of Tongzhi, a large number of Hunan army generals were appointed as governors, they were both in charge of the army and in charge of the government, and the integration of military and government has become a trend. In this way, the situation of one province and three constitutions, that is, the situation of the governor and the political envoy and the envoy of the governor and the envoy will no longer exist, and the situation of the governor's dictatorship will be formed, and the power of the Hunan military group will also reach its peak under this situation.

is so vigorous, flowers are brocade, fire cooking oil, Zeng Guofan is familiar with poetry and books, and knows the truth of high merit and prevention of microaggressions, "Lao Jiu! Zeng Guofan shouted sternly, it doesn't seem to be quite right now, the official text Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Shen Baozhen, Duxing, A Fuminga and others are all outside the city, and his descendants Yang Yuebin, Peng Yulin, Luo Bingzhang, Bao Chao, and let Zeng Guoquan attack Jiangning City on his own, naturally he won't say much, but it is inevitable that he will mumble in his heart, and there are other officials and others who have a strong desire to fight for merit, and they are preparing to find their own mistakes, Li Hongzhang, this own student, although he doesn't want to compete with himself on the surface, and is stationed in Chunhua County, but he is the empress dowager's henchman!
