Chapter 3 The gong does not need to be heavy

When it comes to the severity of the difference, Yungui is of course not as good as Zhili, but this is a flat tone, not a downgrade.

What is more important is the "Minister of Military Affairs of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guizhou Provinces"?

In the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang, Liu Changyou helped Jiang Zhongyuan to level Li Yuanfa's rebellion, and started from there, and then Ping Hongyang, Ping Tiandihui, Ping White Lotus Sect, more than ten years, large and small battles, has been the governor of Zhili, but has never "Qin sent to supervise military affairs", not to mention the three provinces? !

"Qin Cha supervises the military affairs of the three provinces", this is an envoy who can only be led by Zeng Disheng, Guan Yixuan, Zuo Jigao and others!

This, this, this is not only not a demotion, but also a promotion!

Also, haven't you heard that there is any big mess over there in Yun, Qian, and Gui? Where does this "military service" come from? And how to "supervise"?

Liu Changyou was dumbfounded for a while, and then swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said in a dry voice: "Changyou is stupid, I want to ask Lord Beile to teach - in Yun, Qian, and Gui, there are many small bandits, Tusi...... There are also some who are not very safe, but it doesn't seem to be enough to cause trouble, right? This, recently, in the southwest, there shouldn't be any major expeditions? This 'supervising the military affairs of the three provinces' ......"

He stopped talking and looked at Guan Zhuofan with inquiring eyes.

Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said: "'Big Expedition', there will indeed be no one in the near future. But within five years, a major war will be inevitable. ”

Liu Changyou was shocked and said, "Please ask Lord Belle - with whom?" ”

Guan Zhuofan paused word by word: "France." ”

Liu Changyou's eyes widened.

After a while, he lowered his slightly trembling voice and said, "Lord Belle is talking about Vietnam? ”

Guan Zhuofan secretly cheered in his heart. said: "Mo Gong! The kid is clumsy. Don't dare to look at your predecessors by mistake - Mo Gong's eyes are like torches! Exactly Vietnam! ”

Liu Changyou clenched his fists. I gently pounded my thigh, and the blood all over my body was hot.

Although he is not very enthusiastic about foreign affairs, he is by no means a blind person. In fact, among the governors, Liu Changyou is one of the people who is most concerned about the "international shape", and the situation around China is even more in mind. Otherwise, how could it be possible to write that shocking "strategy for destroying the sun"?

Kwan Zhuo Fan said: "The situation in Vietnam. Mo Gong knew that in the first year of Tongzhi, Vietnam and France signed a "Saigon Treaty", and the whole place of Nanqi was lost to France, and Vietnam was divided into one! This France to Vietnam, wolf ambitions, its origins, not only one day, his appetite. How is it that a piece of Nanqi is fed? In the past two years, we have to make inches. If we sit idly by, sooner or later, Zhongqi and Beiqi will have to be swallowed by the French! ”

Vietnam's topography is long and narrow from north to south, and it is customary to divide the country into three major areas: Nam Ki, Chung Ki and North Kiy.

Liu Changyou's blood was boiling, it was difficult to control himself, he couldn't help but clench his fists, and said in a deep voice: "Lord Belle has seen thousands of miles!" Once France swallows up the whole Nguyen, it will go north to peep into our southern Xinjiang! So, so ......"

At that time, the country name of Vietnam was "Da Nan", and the emperor's surname was Nguyen, so "Da Nan" was also called "Nguyen Dynasty", and Liu Changyou was called "Quanruan".

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said: "Mo Gong is really smart! Therefore, I want to ask Mo Gong to go south and succumb to the position of governor of Yungui! Yunnan, Guangxi and Vietnam border, in the future Sino-French and Vietnamese rivalry, whether our army goes south, or the French army goes north, it will inevitably be Yunnan and Guangxi two ways to march, militarily, Yunnan and Guizhou are one, so Mo Gong's governor of Yunnan and Guizhou must add a title of 'minister of Qincha' in front of him to control the military affairs of Yunnan, Guizhou and Guizhou provinces! ”

Liu Changyou's breathing became heavy, and suddenly, he got up from his seat, and a thousand children hit him, and said loudly: "There is Baylor in the imperial court, which is really a blessing for the country!" Changyou is willing to serve the death force! ”

Guan Zhuofan hurriedly helped him up and said, "Mo Gong, I can't afford it - I am a virtuous person for the country!" ”

Liu Changyou sat down again, adjusted his breathing, and said: "Changyou has self-knowledge, there is the Xuan army, and he doesn't need me to lead the troops to fight." I have figured out the intention of Lord Belle, so that I can clean up the places in Yunnan and Guangxi, repair the cities, pave the roads, hoard grain and grass, store medicines, and prepare for war -- I don't know if I think of Chinese style or not? ”

It's really a gong that doesn't need to be heavy.

"Chinese! It is precisely to borrow Mo Gong's great talent to do the kung fu of war preparation! ”

After saying this, Guan Zhuofan clenched his fists with both hands, and although he did not leave the chair, he bowed slightly and solemnly bowed.

Liu Changyou hurriedly stood up and leaned out of the way.

"Mo Gong, sit, sit!"

Liu Changyou sat down again.

"There is one more thing that I want to pay attention to Mo Gong."

"Please belerate Lord Belle."

"Don't dare. The green camps of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces have not been adapted. This is because the southwest border is a mixed area of various ethnic groups, and the situation is complicated. Although it has been done all along, it has not been completely done neatly after all. Without the presiding over of Gao Ming Daxian, I don't dare to do it lightly, for fear of ...... At the time of change, it is not well taken care of, and the gap is leaked, which is taken advantage of by people with ulterior motives. ”

After a pause, Guan Zhuofan continued: "Now, with Duke Mo presiding over the military administration of the southwest, I am relieved!" The reorganization of the green battalions in the three provinces must be completed within three years at the latest, so that when the war against France begins, our rear will be as solid as a rock! ”

Liu Changyou nodded heavily and said, "Changyou leads the training!" Belle Ye rest assured, Liu Changyou will do his best, and he will die! ”

Guan Zhuofan just wanted to say, "Don't say that", Liu Changyou sighed lightly and said, "However, the burden on my shoulders is too heavy, I'm really afraid...... One is not cautious, and he lives up to the trust of Lord Belle. ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled and said: "Mo Gong, if you can't do this, no one will do it!" You are good at Rongxing, prestigious, familiar with public opinion, suitable for people and land, it's not that I blindly praise you, Mo Gong, you think about it for me, in addition to you, can I find a more suitable candidate? ”

These few sentences are really not "blindly touting" Liu Changyou.

Needless to say, "good at Rongxing" and "prestigious" are gods, Liu Changyou is naturally worthy of it. However, there is no shortage of people who can afford these eight-character comments, and Liu Changyou is not a beauty. However, if you add the words "familiar with public opinion, suitable for people and land", in addition to Liu Changyou, it is really impossible to find a second person.

Liu Changyou, the "three divisions" of Guangxi -- the division of the domain, the division of the domain, and the governor -- has done all of them, and they have done a very good job.

It was the ninth year of Xianfeng, Shi Dakai turned to Guangxi, Liu Changyou led the troops into Guizhou to pursue, Keliuzhou, awarded the envoy, and sought to move the political envoy. Then, the "Dacheng Kingdom" built by Chen Kai and Li Wenmao was promoted to governor.

The imperial court took Guangxi as the nest of Hongyang's family, purged the poison, appeased the place, and relied on Lao Cheng, so Liu Changyou stayed in Guangxi for several years until he was promoted to the governor of Zhili.

In the past few years in Guangxi, Liu Changyou has rectified the rule of officials, cleaned up taxes, revitalized learning and education, eliminated bad habits, and applied both grace and power to local Tusi, and the appearance of Bagui was a new one.

Liu Changyou remembered his experience, couldn't help but smile slightly, and said: "Thanks to Lord Baylor's wrong love, I have no choice but to take it seriously." ”

Guan Zhuofan laughed: "What a 'deserved'!" Mo Gong said it well - my generation is for the country and the people, that is, we must be responsible! ”

After a pause, he said, "Mo Gong, Feng Cuiting, are you familiar with this person?" ”

Liu Changyou was slightly stunned, thought about it, came to his senses, and said, "Ah, he is the current governor of Guangxi. Well, in the battle of Danyang, Feng Cuiting played very well. Other than that, I didn't know much about him, and I hadn't met him. ”

Guan Zhuofan nodded and said, "He suppressed bandits in Guangdong before, and it was my idea that I sent him an envoy to the governor of Guangxi. At the end of last year, the affairs of Guangdong Province were settled, and after the New Year, he went to Guangxi to take up the post of governor -- and now, he has just arrived in Guangxi. Mo Gong, I haven't had any dealings with Feng Cuiting, but I know that this person is both wise and brave, full of talent, and he is a native of Guangxi, I believe that he will definitely become a good helper for you in military affairs. ”

Liu Changyou's eyes shone brightly: "There are not too many people in this world who can get Lord Baylor's 'wisdom and bravery, and great talent' - Feng Cuiting must be a great talent!" Belle Ye rest assured, he and I will cooperate sincerely and live up to your high expectations! ”

Feng Cuiting, No. Cuiting, his real name is Shangzi and Xiacai, Feng Zicai.
