"Luo Zhongcheng, this Zeng Guofan has gone too far!”Not long ago, he was promoted from Hengyong, Chengui Road
Tao Enpei took the letter that Zeng Guofan wrote to him and went to Luo Bingzhang's signing room.
"What is it?" Luo Bingzhang asked.
"A soldier ruffian who voluntarily sold his wife. He made an agreement with someone and even covered his hand. The next day, he turned his back on them and beat them up.
The family is half dead. The complaint came to me, and the situation was true. I brought the soldier's ruffian lock to the yamen for interrogation. On the way, Zeng Guofan took him
He intercepted her and said that she was a talent that he wanted to keep. Luo Zhongcheng, do you think there's a rule in doing things? After killing so many people,
What kind of station cages are they? They're inhumane. Killing and robbing people, acting on his own, not putting us in his eyes at all. so that the next
He only needed Zeng Guofan to go to Hunan Province.”Tao Enpei became angrier as he spoke.
"This Zeng Guofan is also a little domineering.”Luo Bingzhang sympathized with Tao Enpei." I persuaded them to take the ten cages.
She wrote a few complaints for him to see and finally tore them apart. However, he did not change his decision at all. Last month, he went to Liuyang to exterminate Zheng Yitang, and then he took the liberty to do so.
He killed the deputy general manager of the county regiment, Zhang Yishan. I was the one who approved Zhang Yishan's vice president. I killed him without even informing him. I'm sorry, after I came back
Even though I didn't talk about him, I still gave him a cold shoulder and didn't mention anything about the Righteous Expedition Hall.”
"That's not a big deal. If you mention it again, your tail will be raised to the sky.”Tao Enpei moved closer to Luo Bingzhang.
He said," Zhongcheng, I heard that Admiral Bao also hates this Zeng guy.”
Just as he was speaking, Zuo Zongtang came in and gave Luo Bingzhang the draft of " The Order of the Elimination of Bandits in Hunan ".
"Zhongcheng, eliminating the bandits in Hunan mainly relied on Zeng Disheng's regimental training, especially this time's suppression of the Righteous Expedition Hall.
It's very impressive. The Righteous Expedition Hall had been causing trouble for several years, and Liuyang County was helpless against it. Last time, Jiang Minqiao only chased them into the mountains.
Zeng Disheng completely extinguished it. However, the memorial only briefly mentioned this, and Zeng Guofan's name was not mentioned. Although I wrote it according to Zhongcheng's wishes
But in the end, he felt a little wronged for Di Sheng.”
"How is it completely extinguished? Zhou Guoyu and his two brothers had not been caught, and it was hard to guarantee that they would not rise again.”Tao Enpei did not buy Zeng Guo
Fan looked down on Zuo Zongtang, who didn't even get a Jinshi.
Zuo Zongtang glanced at Tao Enpei and pretended not to hear him. He continued to speak to Luo Bingzhang,""It's up to the deputy to decide whether to add more or not.
However, it was not appropriate to not reward him for his meritorious deeds. Now, he could not even bear to say a good word in front of the Emperor. He was afraid that it would be difficult to convince the people in the future.”
After saying that, he walked away. "Ji Gao, you can add a few more words!" Luo Bingzhang quickly called out.”He stuffed the draft to Zuo Zong again.
Tang. After Zuo Zongtang left, Luo Bingzhang said to Tao Enpei,"Although Zeng Guofan was a bit arbitrary, he was brave enough to do things.
It was expensive. The emperor trusts him, so you can just turn a blind eye.”
"I don't mind," Tao Enpei said."It's just that Zhongcheng is in a difficult position to deal with. by age, by experience, by present
Which official position was not above him, Zeng Guofan? The team training could only be done by the team training and could not interfere in everything. Lu Xian from Anhui
Ji Zhichang of Ji and Jiangsu, which of them didn't work under the jurisdiction of the governor? There were dozens of ministers in the regiment, but none of them were like Zeng Guofan.
Like this!"
Luo Bingzhang didn't say anything. From the bottom of his heart, he was very proud of Zeng Guofan's swift and decisive style, daring to take on tasks, and not avoiding suspicion.
He didn't dislike it. He was an old bureaucrat, and he had seen too much of the habit of shirking, perfunctory, irresponsible, and procrastinating in the officialdom.
The state affairs were ruined by this kind of atmosphere. It was rare that Zeng Guofan had been so vigorous these few months, and the turmoil in Hunan had gradually been eliminated.
The credit was great. However, Zeng Guofan did not care about the face of the yamen. He kept saying that the Hunan officials were very old and wanted to use them.
A group of scholars came to replace them with an aggressive aura. He never discussed with them when doing things, and many things exceeded his authority.
He also dealt with it without authorization. In the long run, all the yamen would be unhappy. How could he be the governor? Luo Bingzhang paused for a moment.
"You just said that Admiral Bao hates him. What is it?”
"I heard that Zeng Guofan wants to replace the deputy general of Qingde and promote Taqibu," said Tao Enpei. Qingde complained to Admiral Bao. Balti
The governor was furious. Wasn't this eliminating dissidents and cultivating cronies? Taqib had only been given the rank of lieutenant a few months earlier, and now
In fact, he was just an acting garrison of the Fu Biao Middle Camp. Compared to Qingde, he was still far from being able to do so!”
"Heh, heh." Luo Bingzhang responded casually and yawned twice. He was sixty years old this year. I often feel that my energy is not enough
Seeing this, Tao Enpei got up and left.
Two months ago, when Zeng Guofan had reorganized the brave soldiers of the third battalion of the large regiment, he discussed with Admiral Bao Qibao that the three battalions would be stationed in the same place.
The Green Camp soldiers in Changsha usually trained separately. They would hold a drill every five days and he would personally review it. After the Taiping Army withdrew from Changsha, other provinces were dispatched.
The soldiers who came had all returned to defend. A portion of the provincial soldiers followed Zhang Liangji to Hubei, and there were still 3,000 provincial soldiers in Changsha. Bao Qi Bao Ba
All of them stayed in Changsha, including the 500 soldiers of the left battalion of the Changsha Association (500 soldiers of the right battalion stationed in Hsiangtan), and 3,500 men.
In the morning, something happened to support the defense. Bao Qibao agreed with Zeng Guofan's suggestion. The army was fed by the imperial food, fought in wartime, and trained on weekdays. This was heaven.
It was just that he was too lazy to suffer and didn't want to go to the field to supervise. Now Zeng Guofan is willing to take this hard work, why not?
And not?
During the training, Zeng Guofan discovered a few top talents in the Green Camp. One was Taqibu, the garrison of the middle camp. He led the battalion
Every time he would arrive on time for the drill, he would wear short clothes and tight pants and straw sandals to demonstrate to the soldiers. Zeng Guofan saw that Taqibu was the upper three banners
The person inside was especially kind to him. For the convenience of future work, Zeng Guofan wanted to push this Manchu forward. So I especially took him away
In 1920, he was promoted to guerrilla general by the court for his meritorious service in guarding the city. The other one was Chief Qian Zhu Dianyuan from the second battalion. he was Wu
He was born with excellent skills and trained soldiers well. There was also a commander, Zhou Fengshan, who was a small leader of the town guards. This person not only
He was good at martial arts and familiar with the art of war. He had a lot of prestige among the soldiers. In the third battalion, the leaders were mostly scholars.
He was very passionate and some of his martial arts skills were good, but he lacked experience in the army. Although Yang Zaifu and Bao Chao have been teachers recently,
In the end, it was not enough, so Zeng Guofan invited Taqibu, Zhu Dianyuan, and Zhou Fengshan to be teachers of the large group of brave men and gave them double pay.
The martial arts skills of the large group of brave men were improving day by day, and the training of the Green Camp was also improving. But soon, trouble came.
As it turned out, those Green Camp soldiers were used to being lazy and rarely had one or two drills a month. Just once or twice, the people who went
Not much. He would hire someone to replace him with a few coins while he slept, went to restaurants, and went to brothels. Training is also in name only, gathering, point
Each of them took a few steps and waved their swords and spears a few times. As usual, they didn't practice in the dog days and the thirty-nine days. however, Zeng
Guofan's style of training was very different.
The big group's daily training was always more than eight hours. Everything was done seriously and hard, not a single bit of sloppiness was allowed. He arrived in a day
He went to the field a few times and strictly supervised her. As such, the Green Army soldiers could only stay there. On the day of the parade,
They had to gather on the field before dawn. Those oily green soldiers rubbed their sleepy eyes and put on their military uniforms in a daze.
As they walked, they all muttered. Zeng Guofan never left the training ground for a moment. The soldiers had no choice but to repeat,
Practice. After a day, all the bones in his body had scattered. Not only that, but he also wanted to lecture him, chattering for an hour,
Military discipline, style, endurance, loyalty to the country, and so on. The Green Camp soldiers were extremely annoyed and sleepy.
Once he returned to the camp, he began to curse,"It's better to die early!"”
"Zeng Guofan is just a regimental commander. What right does he have to control us?”
"It's embarrassing to train with those farmers.”
A soldier from Xiangxiang told everyone a secret: "Do you know? Zeng Guofan is a snake skin leech, does he itch every day?
However, when he scratched it with all his might, the ringworm skin he scratched had a bowl of rice, and blood flowed non-stop.”
"Serves you right! This is karma."
"Just make him itch all day long and not be able to go to the field.”
The soldiers let out their bellies of resentment as they laughed and scolded.
A month later, the soldiers of the other battalions were often absent, except for Taqibu's Fubiao Middle Battalion. Recently, those who go to the sports field
The Green Camp soldiers were getting fewer and fewer, and the Fubiao Middle Camp was also affected. Zeng Guofan was very angry about this. What made him even more embarrassed was that the deputy of Changsha
Jiang Qingde, for a few months, did not participate in any drill, sent people to invite him also can not move. These two exercises, Changsha Association was absent again.
After asking around, it turned out that Qingde was very jealous of Zeng Guofan's use of Taqibu. When Taqibu was still a guard of the Firearms Battalion, Qingde
He was already a deputy general. When Zeng Guofan arrived, he had recommended Taqibu to be a guerrilla, and recently he had recommended Taqibu to be a general. He was about to rise up with him.
They sat down. How could Qingde be convinced? He thought that Zeng Guofan was obviously trying to please the Manchu people and wanted to replace him with them. due to
Therefore, not only did Qingde not know how to train, he also secretly supported the soldiers of the Changsha Association who did not know how to train. As for Qingde's blatant
Zeng Guofan was furious. He heard that when the Taiping Army besieged Changsha, Qingde took off his crown and hid in the homes of the common people.
He went. After verifying it, he decided to target Qingde.
The opportunity had come. The 8th of June was the 25th birthday of Qingde's favorite fourth aunt. As early as five days ago, Qingde had become big.
He sent out invitations and prepared to celebrate the day with Fourth Aunt. And today was the day of the eighth day.
On the morning of the seventh day, Zeng Guofan issued a notice as the regimental commander, informing all the Green Camp and regiments that they would be in the south tomorrow morning.
The drill in the big field outside the door should be thoroughly checked for the past half a year. No matter who it was, no matter what the reason was, no one should be allowed to do it.
He had to ask for leave.
That night, the soldiers who were arranged by Qingde to serve the banquet in Changsha Association recommended a few representatives to the deputy general's yamen.
He showed the notice to Qingde. After reading it, Qingde crumpled the notice into a ball and threw it at his feet. He smiled coldly."Don't mind him, he's so cocky.
Heavens? Once the fur is flattened, he has to get lost."
"Sir, should we ask him to come back after he calls the names?”an external affairs director asked tentatively.
"Who's the one who's responsible for your pay?" Qingde glared at him. Who is in charge of Changsha Association? Zeng Guofan's notice, you're like this
I'm so scared, do you still have me in your eyes? Tomorrow, there would be no missing people for the wedding. Besides, there's something wrong
His brothers could choose not to go. Just say that I, Qingde, told him. Let's see what Zeng Guofan can do to me!”
The next morning, Zeng Guofan dressed up and rode to the training ground outside the south gate.
It was a hot day. The sun was scorching the earth. There was no wind at all. The entire Changsha City was like a mouthful of water.
A red-hot pot. On the training ground outside the south gate, there was not a single tree or wall. Dust hit one's face and sand and stones burned one's feet.
In the middle of the pot, the soldiers in their uniforms were mercilessly tortured.
During the roll call, Zeng Guofan knew that the Changsha Association was missing a lot of people, but he did not flare up.
At noon, Zeng Guofan specially came to the Changsha Association training ground. Originally, there should have been 500 people in the left camp of the Changsha Association.
There were now 300 people. Zeng Guofan suddenly became angry and ordered the whole audience to stop training. He asked the people of the Changsha Association to arrive.
Where did he go? The commander was so frightened that he stammered as he reported, More than 50 people were holding a wedding at General Qingde's house, and more than 70 people were holding a wedding because
More than eighty people slipped away halfway through their sick leave.
After Zeng Guofan heard this, he said loudly to the soldiers,"Brothers, take a look. Is the country's affairs more important or is it personal?
It was important. He didn't come to the drill, but he still needed his brothers to do private things for him. Was the country paying to recruit soldiers for him? everyone
They were all only in their twenties or thirties, and they were still young and strong. There were so many people in the Changsha Association who could not bear the hardship and did not come.
They slipped away. Was this still like an army? If he couldn't even endure this bit of hardship, wouldn't it be better if the two armies fought in the future?
Deserter? The main hall was already over forty years old, yet they were still training with everyone, so why did they come? In order to train an army that can fight
Team, in order to protect Hunan from being occupied by Long Hair. The weather was a little hot today, and training troops on such a day was indeed a tough thing, but
Compared to bleeding and beheading, this pain was much smaller. Brothers, you must understand the painstaking efforts of the headquarters. As the saying goes, practice in summer and winter
39. No matter how cold or hot it was, they had to train their troops. Those who were absent today would be given a demerit.”
After Zeng Guofan finished speaking, he asked Li Xubin to take a battalion of Xiang Yong to search for the soldiers of Changsha Association and record their names.
That night, Li Xubin reported that the Changsha Association had 58 people serving Qingde yesterday, and 46 people were in the barracks.
There were thirty-three people drinking in the tavern, twelve people fooling around in the brothel, and fifty-one people in the tavern.
There were only six people who were really sick and bedridden while shopping in the city.
Zeng Guofan wrote a long letter about this situation and sent it to Zhang Liangji in Wuchang overnight. According to the system, the green camps of all provinces
Governor control, governor in addition to the title of governor, can not interfere in military affairs. Hunan Green Camp is under the jurisdiction of Zhang Liangji, the governor of Huguang. Zhang Liang
Ji was extremely dissatisfied with the corruption of Hunan Green Camp. Zeng Guofan was invited by him again and again. After reading Zeng Guofan's letter, he was also very angry.
Anger, immediately reply letter, hand over to the person to bring back, request Zeng Guofan according to military discipline law punishment.
So Zeng Guofan sent a copy to the court and wrote:
He was appointed to the post of Chief of Staff, and was dismissed from his post by the Emperor of the Han Dynasty, in order to strengthen military discipline and warn those who were tired of playing. Since the rise of the army, the officers and soldiers have retreated and moved.
Yan, look at the wind and collapse, victory does not give way, defeat does not save, all kinds of bad habits, long in the sage insight. The reason for it lies in the daily life.
No training, rusty skills, caused by guilt and timidity. I have learned from past mistakes to avoid future ones. Since the beginning of this year, I have instructed the generals of each battalion to train seriously.
Eighth, I personally went to check. Only the deputy general of Changsha Association is honest and virtuous. He is fond of comfort and does not follow the instructions of the emperor. The date of the drill, the general will never arrive, in the
I'm in charge of leisure, cultivating flowers and trees. On the eighth day of the sixth month, he celebrated his concubine's birthday. He ordered more than fifty soldiers to serve him and publicly supported him.
I'm afraid of hardship and don't want to go to the army. The deputy general was at a loss about the military preparations of the camp, like a puppet. Now that military affairs are tight, the generals should be tired.
How can you lead your soldiers if you play like this? In response to the request of the imperial edict, the deputy general of Changsha Association, Qingde, was dismissed from his post to encourage the soldiers and revitalize the military prestige.
After writing it, he still did not feel relieved, so he attached another piece:
Second, Changsha Association deputy general Liu Qingde indulged in comfort and did not care about military affairs. On September 18th last year, we saw the bandits digging the Changsha tunnel and blasting the south.
In the city, when people panic, the general himself took off his hat and hid in the house. The soldiers took off their uniforms and abandoned them all over the street.
He became a laughingstock. Please issue an edict to dismiss Qingde from his post and hand him over to the Ministry of Punishment for heavy punishment. In this way, he can be punished as an example to others, so as to slightly strengthen the military prestige and boost morale. I hate literature
The minister took advantage of the situation and the military minister retreated, resulting in today's great change, so it is because of this intense feeling. If I have any private opinions, please investigate it closely.
Go out and punish me for deceiving you.
If Qingde was removed, who would be the deputy general of the Changsha Association? In terms of talent, Yang Zaifu was the most suitable. But he's just an external director, small
The difference between a Rank-9 and a Rank-2 deputy general was too great. Zhu Dianyuan was also qualified, but he was only a Grade-6 General Manager Qian.
It was too fast to be promoted to vice general. From the official rank, Taqibu was a general, from the third rank, the highest.
Not as good as Yang and Zhu, but Taqibu was honest and obedient. In addition, there was something that Yang and Zhu were not as good as, that was, Taqibu was a yellow flag.
People. Zeng Guofan knew that the Emperor was very suspicious of the Han people. In the future, if he wanted to build the Zeng Family Army, the Emperor and the entire court would be worried. if
If they had a book of ginseng, they could just add a crime of conspiring against them and their entire family would immediately be executed. He had to push out a full group of people! name
The emperor had to place this Manchu above himself to eliminate the concerns of the emperor and the Manchu people. If you push me, I'll be big-hearted
If he couldn't control it in the future, it would be even more troublesome. Although Taqibu was not very talented, he was obedient and was promoted by him.
He would not deliberately make things difficult for her in the future. Having made up his mind, Zeng Guofan added, Taqibu, the general of the Central Army, was loyal and brave.
When he set out, he was familiar with hard work and endured hardships, and he was deeply loved by the soldiers. I am now training in the province, often relying on the general to rectify the camp affairs. Taqibu's resume is now entered
He submitted the memorial and begged the emperor to grant him an exceptional promotion.
In order to make the emperor accept his suggestion and express his absolute trust in the Manchu people, he added a sentence at the end of the film:
"If Taqibu decides to retreat in the future, I will punish him as well.”
Zeng Guofan's impeachment of Qingde and Baizou Taqibu soon reached Qingde's ears. He was anxious and hateful and ran to Bao Qibao.
He did not mention the impeachment of himself first, but exaggerated the resentment of the camp soldiers against Zeng Guofan's summer training. he
"Admiral Bao, our brothers are all talking about whether we are under the command of the admiral or the regimental commander. brother
His brothers told Zeng Guofan that Admiral Bao loved his soldiers like his own son. He did not train outside the camp during the three dog days and three or nine days. He only taught the art of war inside the camp. Tsang Kwok
Not only did Fan not listen, he even said that you were not strict with the army and indulged in it, raising a group of old soldiers.”
Bao Qibao was originally a proud and muddle-headed martial artist. He had always looked down on civil officials. When he heard Qingde's words, he flew into a rage."Zeng Country
Fan was a civil servant who played with ink. What did he know about leading troops and training soldiers? The imperial court only used a group of civil officials as ministers. What a joke! had
Guofan dares to laugh at me for not managing the army strictly. Does he understand that there is no such thing as training troops in the hot summer? If the June Longhorn Beetle is not used, let alone humans? this
How was this training? This was clearly mistreating the soldiers.”
Qingde saw that Bao Qibao supported him and was secretly pleased with himself, so he brought up the matter of impeachment."The 8th of June is my birthday, and
It was the day of the drill, and I thought that the weather was so hot, so I wanted to let the soldiers rest for a day and hide at home. Zeng Guofan actually called him
The regiment members came to me to count the number of people. A few people went out on the street, a few people were in the camp, and a few people helped me organize the banquet. A book for the court
Ting, you want to remove me from my position and let Taqibu be the deputy general of the Changsha Association.”
"Preposterous! He participated in the impeachment of the army officials, did not go through me in advance, on the court. Did Zeng Guofan study the Qing army?
Law? Zhang Zhijun wasn't here, and even Luo Zhongcheng wouldn't interfere with the matters of the camp, let alone the matter of replacing a Rank Two official. What a bully
You're too much!" Bao Qibao was furious.
"It's all Taqibu's fault for flattering Zeng Guofan and breaking the rules of our Green Camp.”
"Pass on my orders. From tomorrow onwards, the battalion will no longer hold drills with the regiments, and Taqibu will no longer be allowed to teach the regiments.
Practice. Whoever dares to disobey my orders will be beaten fifty times!”
"Lord Bao, I really can't take this grievance.”Qingde was worried that once the court accepted Zeng Guofan's impeachment, his second son would be killed.
The crown would be removed.
"Don't worry, I'll report this to the Imperial Court. I can't let Zeng Guofan do whatever he wants.”
From then on, the Green Camp soldiers never came to the drill again, and Taqibu did not dare to come to the training regiment again. A large group of brave men were killed for no reason
Attacks and curses by the Sha Association soldiers happened again and again. Zeng Guobao was even beaten up by them for no reason on the street.
Zeng Guofan's heart was burning with anger, but he held it in and advised Zeng Guobao and the other members who had been humiliated to train as usual every day. he
As he waited for the court's approval, he thought to himself," If the Imperial Court supported him, he would not be afraid of Bao Qibao's arrogance. If the court doesn't support it, resign immediately.
