When Yang Zaifu returned from Wang Yaping, Zeng Guofan sent someone to bring Wang Shiquan to stay at Sangyuan Street for a day. Wang Shiquan took Peng Yu
He told Zeng Guofan about Lin's situation in detail. Of course, Wang Shiquan didn't know the real reason why Peng Yulin was still single.
Fan admired Yu Lin's ambition of " the Huns have not been destroyed, there is no home to do " and thought that he was a rare man today. He said to Shiquan,
"Once Peng Yulin arrives at your house, send someone to tell me that I want to visit him in person.”
Coincidentally, Guo Songtao, who was sent to Jiangxi last month to understand the military situation, came to the mulberry garden in Hengzhou with Jiang Zhongyuan's letter.
Street. In view of the strength of the Taiping Navy, Jiang Zhongyuan urged Zeng Guofan to train the navy in Hengzhou and promised to report to the court. Guo song
Tao also told Zeng Guofan about the Taiping Army cannon ships that he had seen on the front line. Zeng Guofan wanted to be a little earlier
He saw Peng Yulin.
Zeng Guofan came the next afternoon after Peng Yulin arrived at Wang Yaping. Yu Lin saw that Zeng Guofan had come to see him in person and was very moved.
He was a little uneasy and said,"Lord Zeng, I am just a poor scholar on the street of Yu Lin's dregs. How dare I trouble you to lower yourself to your position?"
Come on, this was really something that he couldn't afford.”
Zeng Guofan held Yulin's hand with both hands and carefully looked at the scholar who had just entered the school a few years ago. He was indeed tall and handsome.
Elegant, her delicate brows revealed a heroic spirit that stood out from the crowd. He suddenly thought of a scholar
Zheng Chenggong, who had been conferred the title of king, was overjoyed. He smiled and said,""From Mister Shiquan's introduction, Brother Xueqin is a rare wonder.
Guofan had been in love with this man for a long time. Today, he was lucky enough to get to know him.”
Peng Yulin was deeply moved by his sincerity. "Your Excellency is too kind," he said excitedly. Your Excellency, you are a minister in the court
Liu Zhigui, in Hengzhou training tiger brigade Xiongshi, for Hengzhou great prestige. Your Excellency is talented in both literature and martial arts. You shoulder the heavy responsibility of the world.
He's a truly extraordinary man."
Zeng Guofan laughed and said,"Hengzhou is Guofan's hometown. Moreover, it's not enough to make a name for yourself today. Even if you make a name for yourself, it's still not enough."
It's only right."
"Xueqin knows that Milord wants to establish a navy and is very willing to serve Milord.”Wang Shiquan said.
Zeng Guofan said to Peng Yulin,"I have long known Zhou Yu's naval tactics. I am a pillar of the country." Guofan wants to invite you
First, build the first navy unit. After you build this unit, I plan to use this unit as a model to build another nine units and ten navy units.”
"Yu Lin is actually just a scholar. Although he has read Zhou Gongjin's navy law, it is still a theory. My lord, take this heavy
If you hand over the burden to me, Yu Lin is like walking on thin ice in the face of deep water. I am afraid that in the future, he will be defeated.”
"You don't have to be humble. Guofan knew that his brother was alert and brave. At the end of Daoguang, he personally captured the rebel Li Yuanfa, which was rare in the Confucian scholars.
Hero."
" Later, the Hengzhou Association asked for credit for Xueqin. Governor Yu Tai Gong thought that the person who captured Li Yuanfa must be a martial artist, so he chose Xueqin as the Linwu Camp.
He was appointed to the post of Minister of Foreign Affairs and rewarded with blue feathers. Xueqin laughed at him, did not accept the reward, farewell back to the dregs of the river.”Shiquan smiled.
"This matter is really interesting to talk about in the scholars. Last year, when you were in Leiyang, you made a prompt decision and sent millions of money from the master's treasury to recruit brave soldiers to guard the flag.
City. Guofan admired this kind of boldness.”
Yu Lin smiled indifferently. At that time, the county magistrate asked for food and pay, but no one responded, so he had to respond with this.
He was anxious and couldn't care less about whether his master was willing or not.”
"When a general is outside, he will not accept the monarch's orders. Just this matter alone is enough to show Brother Xueqin's talent.”
Everyone laughed. Zeng Guofan said,"The military is urgent and there is no room for leisure. Brother Xueqin, please move to Sangyuan Street tomorrow.
He immediately set out to build a water camp. However, there is one thing I want to advise you about.”
"Lord, please enlighten me."
"I heard that you are still single and want to start a family after you are successful. Although your ambition is good, I don't think you need to be like this.
Stubborn. The ancients said that there were three kinds of unfilial behavior, and the greatest was to have no descendants. If he didn't marry and have children, how could he comfort his mother? Besides, from now on, when we fight in the army, the soldiers
It was a dangerous battle, life and death were unpredictable, and he couldn't have no children. Please listen to me, before the army leaves Hengzhou, we will definitely succeed.
Home." Guofan asked his bodyguards to bring over a box of silver. He pointed to the box and said," The army is short of silver and rare. This 800 taels of silver
It's not a gift for you, but just a fee for you to settle down. After you have a family and the navy is trained, we will float to the north of the river.
I will share the burden of the Imperial Court."
Peng Yulin could not refuse Zeng Guofan's kindness, nor could he refuse this generous gift. He could only respectfully obey.
Peng Yulin moved into the Zhao Family's ancestral hall on Mulberry Garden Street the next day. Zeng Guofan thought of Yang Zaifu's wonderful performance on Dongting Lake and felt that
Yang Zaifu was a rare naval officer, so he introduced him to Peng Yulin. When the two met, they were very happy. his recent

As the saying goes, when the flag is raised, there will be people who eat food. Hengzhou, Hengshan, Qiyang area has always been a large number of boat people. These boatmen, and
Instead of fishing, they made a living by transporting goods over long distances. Ever since the Taiping Army ignited the flames of war in the Xiangjiang River and Dongting Lake area in the past year or two,
The livelihood of the boat people who were being transported was greatly affected. Many had to change their occupation and find another way to make a living. However, most of them had neither land nor other means of livelihood.
Life was very difficult. Knowing that Zeng Guofan was recruiting water warriors in Hengzhou, even the salary of a oarsman could feed a family of four.
As a result, the unemployed boat people in this area came one after another. In just ten days, two to three thousand people had come to join the army, which was much more than a battalion.
