On the first day of the closure, add a more to celebrate

Seeing that all the generals under his command were in high spirits, Miao Peilin also smiled slightly, coughed, and suddenly fell silent. He turned his head to look at Liu Shuyu, who was sitting in the first place on his right, and said with a smile: "Brother Yihan, what do you think?" ”

Liu Shuyue smiled: "The Taiping Army is rotten!" ”

"Really rotten? There will be no fraud? Miao Peilin hesitated and asked in a low voice.

"How can there be fraud? Even if there is fraud, it can't be to that extent! Liu Shuyue shook her head vigorously, and said with certainty, "There is a sea of corpses and blood at the entrance of the school, and the severed heads are piled up as high as a mountain...... This can't be fake, right? ”

mentioned the battle at the entrance of the school, Miao Peilin's face was also condensed. He personally commanded the battle at the entrance of the school two days ago, and the fierceness and bloodiness of this battle will never be forgotten in his life! If it weren't for his own preparations, he turned the buildings around the entrance of the school field into a fortress, and arranged barricade fortifications at the entrance of the school, so that his foreign gun team would rely on the barricades and fortresses to fight, and this school gate would not be the place of death raised by Zeng Tianyang, but the place where he died.

"It really can't be fake!" Miao Peilin muttered, "The Taiping Army's foreign spear team is indeed not weak, and their Beidian Army is not bad, and they have all beaten Ximen Street into white ground!" He paused, with a proud expression on his face, "But our men in Huaibei are not bad, such a hard battle has been overwhelmed, what battle can't be fought!" ”

His gaze swept over the people in the chamber, and seeing that everyone was eager to try, he nodded and said, "Order the three armies to rest for three days." Then the commander wanted to personally raise the army to the north. First solve the siege of Jinan. Conquer Beijing again and eliminate the enemy for the famous religion! ”

……

Yingtian Forbidden City, inside Kunning Palace.

Today is the third day of the Ming Empress Luo Xiangmei's regent, and she summoned Zuo Zongtang, the prime minister, early in the morning, and played right between the two for more than an hour before Zuo Zongtang said goodbye and withdrew. The queen mother who "had her mind still stuck in the 19th century" was sitting on the soft collapse of her bedroom, holding the "Articles of Organization of the Righteous Way Society" presented by Zuo Zongtang in a daze.

It had just snowed outside, but it was warm as spring inside Kunning Palace. Luo Xiangju was also in her sister's bedroom, holding the crown prince Zhu Guoxiong. This little prince has always been with her, and she has eaten her milk, so she is closest to her and wants her to hug her every day.

Luo Xiangmei didn't look at her son, she just frowned and thought about things, I don't know how long it took for her to slowly open her mouth: "This Zuo Zongtang is very concerned about the matter of forming a party, and he has drafted the charter so quickly, I'm afraid I've been thinking about it for a long time......"

Luo Xiangju muttered in her heart. That is, the foreign dynasty has long had the "Xianghu Party." Half the world"! Or you, the queen, would attach so much importance to the Xianghu Party? Thinking about making the Xianghu Party the right-hand man of the little prince, I just don't want to think about whether the emperor is afraid of Xianghu! And as soon as the royalist association supported by the emperor opened, the queen supported the Xianghu Party to form a righteous path meeting, no matter how you look at this matter, the queen is competing with the emperor, and this Zuo Zongtang is too, why don't you know how to restrain your arrogance, and actually openly accept the queen's sister's check as the operating expenses of the righteous path society?

Sister Queen, this is collusion with courtiers! It is a taboo to stay in all dynasties, and the queen colludes with the courtiers to try to misbehave, which is a crime that can be abolished! How dare Sister Queen do it......

Luo Xiangmei didn't know that her sister was worrying about her, her eyes slowly turned, obviously weighing it repeatedly, whispering to herself, and she didn't know who Lu Dao was talking about.

“…… Our emperor, why do I always have some strange ideas? The world's major events are decided, and there is silver in your pocket, so why can't you live a good life? I really don't understand it...... Friends have been a taboo for kings since ancient times, how can there be a reason for kings to fund friends? Or the emperor and the queen...... What kind of fame is this? Do you want your ministers to pinch each other in two groups? Isn't that a toss-up? …… Fourth sister, what do you see? ”

When Luo Xiangju heard the question, she made a sound as if she had been awakened, thought about it carefully, and then said carefully: "Eldest sister, how wise is the emperor?" It has only been a little more than three years since the Yongli 201 incident, and there is most of the world, and such kings are unique in history, even Emperor Taizu and Emperor Hangao cannot compare. Our sisters can serve such a master, I don't know that the Tao is a blessing that has been cultivated for several lifetimes, and the little sister thinks that she only needs to respect the emperor in everything and obey the emperor's order. ”

Listening to her sister's words, Luo Xiangmei sighed: "The emperor's order...... If only I could understand it! I really don't know what he thinks. She glanced at the prince in Luo Xiangju's arms, "I hope Xiong'er doesn't follow his father, the emperor has the world for three or four years, and he is an emperor through the ages, no matter what strange things are tossed, the people below can only endure it, if it is replaced by another emperor, the people below are afraid that they will stop doing it a long time ago." ”

……

Just when the Luo sisters were a little dizzy by Zhu Jishi's "party contention policy". Zhu Jishi, who had just arrived in Huai'an, was hesitant about the war in the north.

Huai'an was inside, and Zhu Jishi was holding his arms and looking at the map that had just been hung up. Xuzhou and Shandong are densely marked with the numbers of the Miao Army and the Taiping Army.

The military advisor Luo Zenan and the French military adviser in charge of directing the specific operation were both standing behind him, also looking at the map with their necks extended.

After a long time, Zhu Jishi exhaled heavily: "Miao Peilin is a soldier, he doesn't really want to use his tens of thousands of elite soldiers to touch Yang Xiuqing's hundreds of thousands of troops, right?" If I am willing to follow up, he will use my prestige to regain more territory, so as to make more political capital for his Huaibei Party, right? ”

Zhu Ming Group can rise in such a short period of time, and the rules of rewards and punishments are also very important, the more territory Miao Peilin recovers, the greater his credit will naturally be, and his Huaibei Party will naturally get more remuneration. Now that the world is about to be decided, there will be no chance if you don't perform well.

"Maybe the Taiping Army is really rotten." Luo Zenan smiled faintly and took over the topic, "The news of Luoyang, now the struggle for power between the Heavenly King and the Eastern King within the Taiping Army has reached the point of tension. Moreover, after the king of heaven and the king of the east entered Luoyang and Beijing, they were all drunk and gentle, and they only knew how to collect treasures and beauties, and neglected military and political affairs. ”

"The decay of the Taiping army was expected to be...... But it won't be so corrupt, will it? How strong is Miao Peilin? How could the Taiping Army not even be able to clean him up? ”

Old Peel said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, you don't need to worry about the war between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Governor Miao Peilin, because in front of your army, their army is all rubbish!" As for whether the Taiping Army is corrupt or not, what does it matter? Their kind of army, which has learned a little bit of Western-style army fur but is fundamentally still a traditional army in the East, is not worth mentioning in front of the hundreds of thousands of Western-style troops of the Ming Dynasty.

In the face of absolute superiority, any conspiracy and trickery are worthless, and what awaits the Taiping Army is only the end of being crushed and eliminated! If I were Yang Xiuqing, I would definitely flee the Central Plains with my army and go to the northwest of China to survive. ”

Zhu Jishi smiled, and frowned again: "It's a pity that Yang Xiuqing can't see this clearly, he still fantasizes about defeating our overwhelming strength through stratagem, he is very confident in his strategy, this may be his biggest weakness, right?" ”

He looked back at Old Peel: "If Yang Xiuqing misjudged the difference in strength between the two sides, what method would he use to fight us?" ”

"Of course, it's a concentration of forces." Jérôme. Peel shrugged, "This is a common military principle between the East and the West...... While he is concentrating his forces, he will do everything he can to disperse our forces until he thinks he can deal a fatal blow to one of our troops by virtue of his numerical superiority. ”

"How many times does he need to concentrate superior forces?" Zhu Jishi asked again.

Old Peel grinned: "At least 10 times the strength of a battle, but if we don't disperse our forces below the division, Yang Xiuqing has no chance of winning, even if he concentrates 20 times the number of troops, there is no way to defeat an infantry division that is on the defensive." In addition, our cavalry is very powerful, very, very powerful, which Yang Xiuqing does not know. (To be continued......)
