Chapter 31 The Extraordinary Admiral of Anhui
Before and after Zhang Liu's rebellion, Li Shizhong's subordinates, went in and out of Ruchuan. Although, Li Shizhong's home, whether before or after "Zhishi", has never been quiet in the city, but it is still very abnormal to be so lively that it is so lively!
Yinghan panicked: Could it be, what collusion did Li Shizhong and Zhang Liu have, and they also wanted to rebel?
However, without solid evidence, you can't rush into playing, and if you make a mistake, it's a terrible thing! In addition, Yinghan did not dare to deploy troops on a large scale to take precautions, he was afraid that he would provoke Li Shizhong, and he was not going to rebel, but he was also forced to rebel - that is really a hundred deaths!
Even if he could transfer troops in a righteous and bright manner, Yinghan was not sure that he could control Li Shizhong with the strength of Anhui Province alone.
Li Shizhong's "Yusheng Battalion", after his "Zhishi", most of them were abolished, and thousands of people remained, which were organized into the "Zhongpu Battalion" and placed under the jurisdiction of the Governor of Liangjiang. Zeng Guofan was also extremely uneasy about this subjugation, and he kept an eye on it very closely, and his attitude towards the "loyal supplement camp"|excellent|excellent|small|say|more|new|most|fast|www.uuxs.cc|, but a "defense" word.
In addition to the "Loyal Supplement Battalion", Li Shizhong held dozens of shares of two Huai salt owls, and the strength of this group of people together far exceeded that of Zhang Liu. Also, Li Shizhong has contacts with the characters of Sanshan and Wuyue, among them, he is particularly closely related to the Green Gang. In fact, the Qing Gang in the Anqing area, commonly known as the "Anqing Daoyou", only developed and grew under the protection of Li Shizhong's "Yusheng Camp".
If Li Shizhong rebelled, and these bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods all joined in, wouldn't it be all over the place?
The green battalion in Anhui has not yet completed the reorganization, and Yinghan does not have enough confidence in their combat effectiveness; If we really fight, I am afraid we will still have to rely on the Hunan troops stationed in Anhui and northern Jiangsu.
Can come. The Hunan army was also cut very hard. I don't know if I can fight? Even if you can fight. The actions of the Hunan army are also a headache! The first is the opening fee, the waist bag is not stuffed, and people are unwilling to fight; The second is military discipline, after the battle, cleaning up the aftermath is sometimes more headache than fighting!
Third, this battle was fought. Didn't the arrogance of the Hunan army raise its head again?
In private, especially the news from within the Eight Banners, the "superiors" and the cardinal government are secretly trying to suppress Xianghuai's strength.
You'd better not cause chaos in the court!
Do you want the Xuan army in southern Jiangsu to come over to fight this battle?
Yinghan prayed sincerely in the Buddhist hall of his private residence: Buddha bless, don't fight this battle!
Hey, sincerity is spirituality, Zhang Liu's rebellion, spinning and extinguishing!
And also. Although Liu Changyou forced Zhang Liu, but. The imperial court's placement of him is very interesting: he was transferred to Yungui and added the title of "Minister of Supervision and Military Affairs" - well, not only was he not punished, but he was also promoted!
Everyone saw the meaning of the idea, and Yinghan was even more itchy: Maybe, what Liu Chuanzhen said makes sense?
After thinking about it, I still decided: Forget it, Liu Zimo's good luck is not something that anyone can have, nothing is a blessing, don't toss around.
He doesn't want to toss, someone wants to toss.
The movement on Li Shizhong's side not only did not stop, but became more lively. Moreover, there is news that Li Shizhong also sent people to the Dabie Mountain area at the junction of Henan and Anhui to recruit troops and horses, I don't know what to do? That area...... Well, Li Shizhong's hometown Gushi is in that area!
What is the heart of this fang?
Yinghan's heart, which he had just put down, lifted it again.
I was suffering from gains and losses, and I didn't know what to do, but a telegram from Beijing came: Anhui Governor Ixan "went to his current office on business."
Yinghan let out a long breath: It's good now!
However, the next news disappointed Yinghan: Ixan only brought 500 pro-soldiers to Anhui.
Five hundred? What is this enough for?

"'Go to this office on business', this saying is unusual." Yinghan said, "You say, did Yizishan stay in Anhui's 'original office', or did he go back to Tianjin after his 'business trip'?" ”
"You" are Yu Geng and Liu Chuanzhen.
Liu Chuanzhen's lips moved, he wanted to say something, but he held back and set his eyes on Yu Geng.
Yu Geng pondered for a moment and said, "I still have to go back to Tianjin." In the Xuan army, there were several admirals, in addition to Yizishan, Zhang Keshan, Jiang Jiqiu - none of them arrived to take up their posts, and they all returned to Tianjin after completing their missions. Well, Ding Chongli doesn't count, he has already changed to a civilian position. ”
Jiqiu is Jiang De's word; Chongli is Ding Shijie's word.
Liu Chuanzhen finally couldn't help it and said, "There is also Wu Benchun." ”
Ben Chun is Wu Jianying's word.
"Ah, by the way, Wen Nan mentioned it well," Yu Geng smiled slightly and nodded, "Wu Benchun is considered to be 'going to his own job'." ”
"Well, I don't know how long Yizishan will stay in Anqing?"
"It depends on what he's doing on business." Yu Geng said, "Dong Weng, the telegram is in clear code, and only the word 'business trip' is said, which is very general, and the students think that this is not only for us to see, but also for ...... Others watched. If the student's expectation is correct, Yizishan must still have a secret document with him, or a secret decree, or a secret edict from King Xuanjun! ”
Ying Han's eyes lit up and said, "Old master, I see it! ”
After a pause, he said: "According to the old master, is Yizishan's trip for 'Erjiu'?" ”
"Twenty-nine" refers to Li Shizhong, the word "Li" is taken apart, it is "eighteen sons", and "eighteen" is "twenty-nine". Since Liu Chuanzhen's proposal to rectify the salt affairs was leaked, Yinghan talked about things with his henchmen, and whenever Li Shizhong was mentioned, he changed his code name.
"Quite possibly." Yu Geng said, "But, Dong Weng, we don't have to worry about this for the time being, Yizishan has arrived, let's just listen to the greeting." Dong Weng doesn't have to think that he has few people. We don't know now, what kind of charter does the imperial court have for 'Erjiu'? Is it a compromise? Or is it a small punishment and a big commandment? Or, make up your mind to cut the flesh and cut the sores? ”
After a pause, he continued: "Anyway, if you have merit, you can't have a share of Dong Weng; There have been, hehe, the sky has fallen and there is a long man on top! ”
Ying Han twisted his beard and smiled: "The old master is taught!" ”
Liu Chuanzhen interjected and said, "Fujun, let's discuss it first, what etiquette should we take to Yizishan?" ”
Ying Han was slightly stunned: "Etiquette? ”
Yu Geng said: "Wen Nan is very thoughtful. Dong Weng, if you think about it for a while, you will understand that the Xuan Army is 'training troops in Western France'! ”
Ying Han closed his eyes slightly, and after a while, he let out a soft "ah", opened his eyes, and said, "I know!" ”
Yu Geng said: "Yes." The soldiers of the Xuan army, if they are wearing military uniforms, even if they are facing the king of Xuanjun, they will only raise their hands to salute, and if the king of Xuanjun is also wearing military uniforms, they have to raise their hands to return the salute. Actually, it's just a normal ceremony - but in a different order. The soldiers of the Xuan Army, dressed in military uniforms, even in front of the emperor, only knelt down on one knee, raised their hands and flat their chests, and performed the ancient military salute. So, this, although Ikoyama is a subordinate of Dong On......"
Ying Han shook his hand again and again: "No, no, I can't be uninteresting, I really treat him as a subordinate!" ”
The admiral is from the first rank, and the governor is the second rank, but the military generals are controlled by civil officials, and the admiral is a subordinate of the governor.
"In addition to the Admiral of Anhui," Ying Han said with a smile, "he also has the title of 'Commander of the Third Division of the Songjiang Army'!" How dare I manage this, how can I manage it? Also, people are first-class viscounts, where can I compare? ”
"Besides, the governor of Anhui, most of the time, is 'not going to his own job', Yao Ling!"
"Well, when I met with Yizishan, it was naturally a courtesy."
Yinghan's "heart" is so clear, Yu Geng and Liu Chuanzhen are quite pleased, so they agreed: After Yixan raised his hand and saluted, Yinghan returned the salute halfway.
