"However," Guan Zhuofan said, "although alarmism is alarmist, but it is not without any reason, the dispute between 'soil silk' and 'foreign silk' is like scattering a handful of dry firewood...... The wind takes advantage of the fire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

Zeng Guofan's heart moved: Well, "Drama Meat" is coming?

The dispute between "Tusi" and "Yangsi" has nothing to do with the Hunan system, and Prince Xuan must have understood this layer, even if he heard some news from the "Tusi faction" asking him to entrust him, he didn't have to be so solemn and repeatedly explained, and when he was summoned today, there must be something more closely related to him to discuss.

The explanation of which is better or worse for "soil silk" and "foreign silk" should only be a starting point, of course, the starting point is not found casually, and the next thing to be discussed must be related to "local silk" and "foreign silk".

"Is there such a thing?"

"Yes," Guan Zhuofan said, "Actually, the people who want to see the 'unspeakable' the most are not the most radical ones in the 'Tusi faction', but a group of people who have nothing to do with the silk industry." ”

"Oh?"

"A few days ago," Guan Zhuofan said, "the two Huaiyan government yamen cracked a case, with twists and turns, which was quite thrilling. ”

Zeng Guofan was slightly stunned.

The Governor of Liangjiang concurrently served as the Governor of Liangjiang, and Zhao Jingxian acted as the Governor of Liangjiang, and at the same time he also served as the Governor of Lianghuai, the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang was in Jiangning, and the Yamen of the Lianghuai Salt Administration was in Yangzhou.

In the past two years, the achievements have been remarkable, the "Jianghuai Salt Company", the No. 1 "state-owned enterprise" in the sky, has become a great benefit of the empire, a year, in addition to millions of taels of silver salt tax, its own profits, even more amazing, specific figures, if told Zeng Guofan, will definitely shock his jaw, so, hehe, for the time being, press the table.

In short, at present, the "Lianghuai Salt Administration Yamen" is equivalent to the "Liangjiang Governor's Yamen".

A case, which was presided over by the Yamen of the Governor of Liangjiang, must be a big case, and in the name of the Lianghuai Salt Administration Yamen, this case must be related to the salt affairs.

Zeng Guofan's "slight dignified" is not because of any "big case" Who is Zeng Disheng? No matter how big the case is, will it bluff him?

What he worries about is that although the Hunan system has nothing to do with the silk industry in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, it is deeply involved in the salt industry in the two Huai.

Don't

Zeng Guofan's heart couldn't help but lift slightly.

At the same time, he couldn't help but wonder: such a big case, but he has never heard of it?

Guan Zhuofan seemed to know what he was thinking, and said: "Speaking carefully, this case is not really closed, alas, I really don't know how to close the case!" ”

What do you mean?

"What's going on?" Zeng Guofan's voice was calm, "Please show the prince the details." ”

"Before Li Shizhong subdued the Fa," Guan Zhuofan said, "there are people under him who have the so-called 'Four King Kongs', I don't know if Di Weng has heard of it?" ”

Zeng Guofan was slightly stunned.

Li Shizhong, the capricious "Shou King" between the court and Hong Yang, after the fall of Miao Peilin, he saw that the situation was not good, and immediately handed over the military power and avoided a catastrophe. But Li Shizhong, who was after "Zhishi", still controlled the Lianghuai Salt Farm, and in private, he still had close contacts with gods and demons from all walks of life.

When Zhang Liu rebelled, Li Shizhong was almost about to raise troops to respond, but the Xuan army's soldiers were too sharp, and before Li Shizhong could pull the flag and set off the cannons, Zhang Liu's entire army was annihilated. This time, Guan Zhuofan refused to let him go, and at the same time, in order to rectify the two Huai salt affairs "clear the obstacles", Yixan "went to Anhui on business" as the governor of Anhui, and on the banquet, he cut off Li Shizhong's head with a knife with the "famous thing Da Bang Changguang" awarded by the king of Xuanjun.

"I've vaguely heard of it," said Tsang, "but I don't know anything about it. ”

"These four people," Guan Zhuofan said, "one is called You Xianda, who is the big leader of the 'Anqing Daoyou', who specializes in liaising with the people in the rivers and lakes of the Three Mountains and Five Mountains on behalf of Li Shizhong; one is called Luo Sheng, who is the Chinese army during Li Shizhong's 'Yusheng Battalion', and is specially designed to contact the old departments of the 'Yusheng Battalion' and the 'Zhongpu Battalion' for Li Shizhong; the other is called Gao Hualin, who is a big salt lord who is specially designed for Li Shizhong to contact the two Huai salt lords and take care of the 'salt affairs'; and the last one is Han Ronghan, who was born and can be regarded as Li Shizhong's number one mastermind. ”

"Anqing Daoyou" is the "Green Gang".

Li Shizhong's descendants are called "Yusheng Battalion", after he "Zhishi", most of the "Yusheng Battalion" was abolished, and the rest was reorganized into "Zhongpu Battalion", which was under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Liangjiang.

At that time, the governor of Liangjiang was Zeng Guofan, a scholar of Wenhuadian University and the governor of Zhili.

Hearing that "Luo Moumou specially contacted the old departments of the 'Yusheng Battalion' and the 'Zhongpu Battalion' for Li Shizhong", Zeng Guofan's heart was filled with a strange feeling.

"When Li Shizhong subdued the law," Guan Zhuofan continued, "You, Luo, Gao, and Han were still peaceful, so the imperial court did not care about themselves, and the punishment for them was only to remove them from their positions and hands them over to the magistrates. ”

After a pause, "However, as time passed, I thought that the limelight had passed, and the court no longer stared at them; Second, Zhao Zhusheng rectified the salt business, made drastic and resolute actions, and the bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods who had been making waves in the Lianghuai Salt Farm for many years were kicked out one by one, and Li Shizhong's family was even cleaner. As a result, this group of people forgot the grace of the imperial court not to kill, and only remembered the hatred of the broken wealth, and ran around, gathering day and night, drilling and looking for cracks, and trying to 'make a difference' according to their own words. ”

Speaking of which, Zeng Guofan roughly imagined what had happened.

However, if it is only this group of people who are plotting against the wrongdoers, how can they "really not know how to close the case"?

The faint uneasiness in Zeng Guofan's heart became even heavier.

"Raise troops directly," Guan Zhuofan said, "This group of people don't dare, what they think about is how to give eye medicine and find trouble for the imperial court." ”

After a pause, "After the dispute between 'soil silk' and 'foreign silk' in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, they thought that the opportunity had come!" ”

"The plan of this group of people is to provoke the 'Tusi' faction, raise a trend, and smash the silk reeling factory, and they will take advantage of the chaos to set fire, and then kill a few more people who will kill both the 'Tusi' people and the 'Yangsi' people, so that the 'Tusi' will think that the 'Tusi' will kill the 'Tusi' people, and the 'Yangsi' will think that the 'Tusi' will kill the 'Yangsi' people, and the two sides will have a blood feud and retribution, and the court will be in a hurry!"

Zeng Guofan's eyebrows jumped slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "The thief is vicious!" ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "If the 'Tusi' faction is not provoked, they will send people to pretend to be the people of 'Tusi' and act according to the law." ”

Zeng Guofan didn't say anything more, but his brows tightened.

"However," Guan Zhuofan continued, "Li Shizhong's faction is mainly in Anhui, and Di Weng also knows it, they want to make trouble in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and on the Jiangsu and Zhejiang side, they must be responded to by powerful people." ”

After a pause, "Originally, whether it is Anhui, Jiangsu or Zhejiang, the power of the Green Gang is extremely deep, and the relationship between Li Shizhong and the Green Gang is also very deep, for example, You Xianda in the 'Four King Kongs' is the big leader of the 'Anqing Daoyou', and it is most logical to find the Qing Gang to do this kind of thing." However, although You Xianda personally contacted and promised a heavy reward, no one in the Qinggang in Jiangsu and Zhejiang dared to take this 'wet job'. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed, "In the end, looking around, I finally found a 'powerful person' for them."

After a brief pause, "This person's surname is Zhang, and his name is Ping'an." ”

Zeng Guofan's brows suddenly opened, his mouth opened slightly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face.

The hands that were flat on his knees were subconsciously lifted and put down.

Zeng Guofan is a master of science, the most important thing is to "hold the will and cultivate the qi", and pay attention to "Mount Tai collapses in front of him and the color remains unchanged", such a look and such an action, for him, it is already a gaffe.

This Zhang Ping'an, he knows who the former Yangtze River sailor raised the former camp pipe belt.

A year and a half ago, Peng Yulin inspected the Yangtze River Naval Division, and impeached Admiral Huang Yisheng to the next class of generals.

He also knew that Zhang Ping'an was Huang Yisheng's number one confidant.

And Huang Yisheng, alas, can almost be regarded as his number one cronie.
