Chapter 179: Explicit Threat, Great Challenge
The Hunan system is huge, eighteen provinces, almost none of the provinces are the Hunan hand can not reach into, Zeng Guofan is the co-master of the Hunan system, the protΓ©gΓ© is old, all over the world, however, the government and the opposition have a consensus: Zeng Disheng has many protΓ©gΓ©s, but there is no own "private", if there is, the only one, that is Huang Yisheng.

Huang Yisheng's wife is the stepmother of Zeng Guofan's wife, Zeng Guofan's concubine, and the person who manages his affairs is Huang Yisheng, this "good family", no one can match, in fact, Huang Yisheng is Zeng Guofan's nominal son, trust is intimate, compared to his own son, more than his own son.
After the Hongyang rebellion, the Hunan army was greatly reduced, but it was the land division, the Hunan army water division, not only did not move a single soldier in the hands of Zeng Guofan, but "upgraded" all the way, and finally became the "super water division" Yangtze River water division in charge of the five provinces of Hunan, Hubei, Jiangxi, Anhui, and Jiangsu.
Guan Zhuofan wanted to move the Yangtze River Naval Division, with his authoritative power at that time, he could not take action by himself, and had to fake Peng Yulin, another founder of the Xiangjiang Naval Division, to "use Hunan to control Hunan", and after vigorously rectifying, he finally abolished the post of Admiral of the Yangtze River Naval Division, and the Yangtze River Naval Division was "broken into pieces", turning it into a green battalion naval division that was unrelated and belonging to various provinces, and further transformed into the direction of "water police".
It can be said that the rise and fall of the Yangtze River Sailor is due to Zeng Guofan's special positioning in the Hunan system, as well as the special relationship between the Admiral of the Yangtze River Navy Division and Zeng Guofan himself. The sailors that Peng and the others had spent countless efforts on were actually laid off.
Now, a major criminal case that is close to rebellion is directly aimed at this "righteous son" who has such a "special" relationship!
Zeng Guofan hurriedly turned his mind: the Yangtze River Water Division raised the former camp, stationed in Shangyuan County, Jiangning Prefecture, straw shoe clips, divided from the river below the Wujiang River to Tongjiangji, and also defended Jiangpu and ** Inland River is the "head snake" of Jiangsu! It is very logical for Li Shizhong to find Zhang Ping'an, the former Yangtze River sailor, to raise the former camp pipe belt.
This Zhang Ping'an, Zeng Guofan has seen it many times, and he is very familiar. As Huang Yisheng's No. 1 confidant, Zhang Ping'an has sent letters to Zeng Guofan on behalf of Huang Yisheng many times as a material official; When Zeng Guofan placed a concubine, Huang Yisheng took Zhang Ping'an in and out of Zeng's mansion, busy and busy.
After being impeached and removed from office, Huang Yisheng, as a first-class member, naturally had to "return home" to Changsha, Hunan; Zhang Ping'an was just a staff general with the rank of deputy general, and no one paid attention to where he went, so he stayed in Jiangning. One master and one servant, although there is one Hunan and one river, but this kind of "big event", without Huang Yisheng's permission, Zhang Ping'an may not dare to do it himself, right?
Based on Zeng Guofan's understanding of Huang Yisheng's temperament, especially his words and deeds after being impeached and removed from office, Zeng Guofan believes that he is very likely to do such a thing!
Zeng Guofan's back was sweating slightly.
For most of his life, he doesn't know how many winds and waves he has passed? However, this time, I really couldn't hold my head and couldn't hold my breath!
"This Zhang Ping'an," Zeng Guofan tried to use restraint to barely keep his calm, "Is it a case?" β
Listening carefully, Zeng Zhongtang's voice was still trembling slightly.
"Nope."
Zeng Guofan's heart jumped, and he was inexplicably relieved, and at the same time, he was quite surprised, "What, escaped?" β
"No," Guan Zhuofan said, "After the 'Four King Kongs' confessed Zhang Ping'an's name, I sent a telegram to Zhao Zhusheng, this case, this is over, don't investigate it further." β
It was a real surprise.
A sour and hot breath came up, and Zeng Guofan's heart seemed to have overturned the five-flavor bottle, and he was ashamed, grateful, and ...... Alas, what does it feel like to not be certain?
He froze, "How can you not check it out?" I know what the prince is worried about, but the prince has broken the law and is guilty of the same crime as the common people! β
Guan Zhuofan smiled to himself, "'The prince broke the law and was guilty of the same crime as the common people'? Let's talk about it! The prince wants to kill me, but can't I really kill me? β
Shaking his head, "Alas! β
These few words allude to his own assassination, and the "prince" is naturally the alcohol king at that time.
Zeng Guofan was speechless.
After a while, he still said insincerely: "No matter what, you can't indulge it lightly, otherwise, there will be endless troubles." β
Guan Zhuofan glanced at Zeng Guofan, "The words 'endless troubles' are indicated!" I'm worried about that, too! β
Speaking of this, he shook his head again, "But it's difficult! There are difficulties in Beijing, and there are difficulties in two rivers! β
Zeng Guofan vaguely felt that his four words "endless troubles" were wrong, but he couldn't help but answer Guan Zhuofan's words, "Ask the prince, where is the difficulty?" β
"Don't hide it," Guan Zhuofan said slowly, "At the beginning of the year, Zhao Zhusheng, the acting governor of Jiang, will be really eliminated." β
Zhao Jingxian's "turning positive" after the year was not a surprise to Zeng Guofan, but why didn't Prince Xuan directly answer his question?
"This is as it should be," Zeng Guofan said, "Zhusheng Jiang, the political achievements are outstanding, to tell the truth, it should have been removed a long time ago, and it has been too long since it has been delayed!" β
Guan Zhuofan smiled slightly and said: "Zhao Zhusheng's qualifications, after all, are not too deep, and it will be good for him to practice for a little longer." β
After a pause, "Zhao Zhusheng stayed in Shanghai first, and then arrived in Yangzhou after 'protecting the seal', and he never went to Jiangning, which was originally to rectify the salt affairs of the two Huai, which is also called no way, but after the real removal, is it still possible to stay in Yangzhou?" Besides, the salt affairs of Lianghuai are already on the right track, and there is no need to guard Yangzhou anymore, so they are staring at it with a good eye! β
Zeng Guofan's heart began to be faintly uneasy again: listening to Prince Xuan's tone, Zhao Jingxian went to Jiangning to take up his post, and it seemed that there was something difficult This "difficulty" has nothing to do with the rest, so it can only come from Jiangning, the governor of Liangjiang itself
Jiangning, that is the base camp of the Hunan system.
"Zhao Zhusheng wrote to me," Guan Zhuofan continued, "to say that Jiang Ning's current situation is quite different from when Di Weng was there."
After a pause, he slightly accentuated his tone, "He said, deeply worried." β
Zeng Guofan's heart jumped big.
Really!
Zeng Guofan knew the world, thinking of all kinds of news from Jiangning in the past six months, coupled with the big case of Li Shizhong's remnants involved by Huang Yisheng and Zhang Ping'an, he already vaguely understood what Prince Xuan's "difficulty" and Zhao Jingxian's "deep worry" meant.
A huge challenge is about to be put in front of you.
Why?
