Not far from the south gate was Wang Yaping. It was located at the foot of Huiyan Peak. This area was filled with rolling hills and lush forests. The scenery was very beautiful.
Alright. Beside the four large fish ponds, there was an old brick house. Teacher Wang told Zeng Guofan,"Chuanshan
We've arrived at the old residence."
At the door, Wang Shiquan and his four sons were already waiting. Wang Shiquan said,"I have been honored by the presence of my father and son.
Not bad."
Zeng Guofan replied,"I have long admired the descendant of a great scholar. Today, I have accompanied my teacher to fulfill my old wish."”
Shiquan accompanied Zeng Guofan through the gate. Zeng Guofan saw an old and vigorous couplet carved on the pillar of the gate:
"Martial arts opened up the fate of the country, and culture and education opened up a hundred generations of people.”After sitting down in the living room, the Wang family politely offered tea and filled it up.
There were all kinds of refreshments on the table. "My humble abode does not have any good things to entertain you," Shiquan urged eagerly.”
Zeng Guofan said,"I heard from my teacher that you are celebrating your 60th birthday. I have prepared a small gift for you. I hope you will live a long and healthy life.”
Guo Bao handed over the one hundred taels of silver that he had prepared before he left the house. There was a red paper wrapped around it. Shiquan panicked and said,"Sir, please.
Quickly retract it. Shiquan is a poor scholar. How can he bear the responsibility of meeting you for the first time today?”Then he turned to Jue An and pleaded,
"In-law, help me talk to him."
Jue An said,"Bo Han, how can you be so polite? This old man is embarrassed."”
Zeng Guofan said,"Today, I have three intentions for giving you this small gift: First, to celebrate Mr. Shiquan's 60th birthday. Second, to congratulate him.
The Wang family was connected by marriage. For more than twenty years, I haven't sent a single cent to my teacher. How can I not send a dowry when my sister is getting married? Three Lue
This is a small token of my respect for Duke Chuanshan.”
Shiquan and Jue An had to accept it when they saw him speak so earnestly.
After a while, Zeng Guofan said to Shiquan,""Your ancestor's knowledge is rare in modern times. When Guofan studied under Master Wang,
I yearn for the extraordinary deeds of the Duke of Chuanshan. Mr. Ke Shao Jifu, inherited the ancestral industry, in recent years, but also published a lot of works left by his ancestors, good for scholars
Lin, your merit is not shallow."
Shiquan bowed and replied,"It is the Wang family's long-cherished wish to print the old works left by our ancestors. It is also Shiquan's duty." only
However, Shiquan's academic and financial abilities were not up to par, and his wish had failed for many years. In the 19th year of Daoguang, relying on Mr. Deng Xianggao's great learning and talent,
Mr. Ouyang Xiaocen of Xiangtan generously donated more than 5,000 gold coins, so that more than ten works of his ancestors on the study of the classics could be printed and published.”
"It is said that your ancestor lived in poverty in his later years, but he still read and wrote non-stop. He is a model for thousands of generations of scholars.”
"My ancestor was poor all his life. In his later years, he lived in seclusion in Qulan Xiangxi Cottage to read and write. I'm humble, but my ancestors should be
Sometimes he had no money to buy paper, so he turned over the old account books that others did not want and bound them into books. Sometimes he had an epiphany and wrote it down in these books. Pro
In the end, the booklets filled with words filled the entire room, but not a single volume was printed when he was alive.”
"Nineteen years ago," Zeng Guofan asked,"which books of the Duke of Chuanshan were engraved?"”
Shiquan said,"Not long after my ancestor died, his fourth son, Wang Wei, used the collection of the Western Hunan Cottage as evidence and printed more than ten kinds in Hengzhou.
The title is "Mr. Wang Chuanshan's Book Collection," which was not printed much at that time. Later, Huijiang Bookstore carved a few more, but printed even less.”
"How many copies of the 19th year of Daoguang were printed?”Zeng Guofan asked.
Shiquan replied," At that time, only two or three hundred copies of each type were printed. The copies are kept at Ouyang Xiaocen's house. I plan to print more in the future." past few
One day, Mr. Xiao Cen sent a letter saying that this edition had been destroyed in the war.”
"What a pity!" Everyone in the living room sighed at the same time.
Zeng Guofan said,"I haven't read many books from the Duke of Chuanshan. When he was in Beijing, Meng Xiaocen presented forty-nine volumes of the Book of Rites.
All by barnyard grass sparse research fourteen volumes, to Mr.'s knowledge of the article admiration. In the past, Confucius was fond of talking and pursued benevolence, but his elegant words insisted on propriety. Mencius was also benevolent.
He is also known for his righteousness. The sage-king, in order to calm the feelings of the world and stop the disputes of the world, has nothing more important than benevolence at home, and nothing more urgent than propriety outside. Mr. Zhang's Note on the Book of Rites
There are hundreds of thousands of words in the Book of Records, which are used to investigate the common origin of people and things, to explain everything, to eliminate the chaos of the world, and to achieve great merit.”
Old Ouyang said,"What Di Sheng said is very true. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, at the beginning of our dynasty, Huang Nanlei, Gu Tinglin, Wang Chuanshan,
They were known as the Three Great Confucians. In fact, Nanlei was too narrow-minded to stick to the same party and attack others. Tinglin is a broken branch of learning and has not become a system. Weichuan Mountain
Zhang Gong's knowledge is all-encompassing, broad and profound, and his character is noble and pure, which is beyond Huang and Gu's reach.”
Jue An said,"There are treasures everywhere in the book of the Duke of Chuanshan. As long as you pay attention, you can open the book and pick it up. Besides, there are many comments that have not been made before, and they are very subtle.
To the subtlety, not the world can compare. Take Yue Wumu's evaluation as an example. Later generations said that Wu Mu was blindly loyal and felt pity for him. Chuanshan Gonghui
His eyes are unique, saying that Wu Mu is not loyal to the monarch, and Gaozong tit-for-tat was killed.”
Shiquan said,"My ancestors believed that Wu Mu wanted to fight against the Jin until the end, while Gao Zong and Zhao Gou wanted to sue for peace with the Jin.
This Gaozong cannot tolerate Wu Mu."
Jue An said,"What is even more shocking is that Mr. Chuanshan openly believes that after Wu Mu destroyed Jin, it is justifiable to attack Song again."
Yes."
Guo Bao said,"What the Duke of Chuanshan said is reasonable. Zhao Gou is fatuous. Why can't Wu Mu replace him?”
Luo Zenan also said,"This is a good idea!"”
Zeng Guofan felt that it was inappropriate to spread such discussions. If it reached the court, it would be a bit of a hindrance. He changed the topic.
"How many descendants does Duke Chuanshan have?”
"About a hundred and fifty people. I am the descendant of the second son of my ancestor, Duke Zhuang.”Shiquan replied.
Zeng Guofan nodded and said,"Sir, you are in charge of the old residence of the Duke of Chuanshan and have preserved the precious relics of our ancestors." The world has been in chaos recently, sir
It's not easy."
"Shiquan does not dare to abandon the ancestors 'legacy. Although it is not easy to keep it, it is also the responsibility of future generations.”
Jue An said,"In-law, why don't you accompany Bohan to visit the remains of the Duke of Chuanshan?"”
Zeng Guofan said,"I was just about to pay my respects. Please lead the way, Mr. Shiquan."”
Shiquan led Zeng Guofan and his party into a wing room on the left. Most of the things displayed here were old things from Chuanshan. As soon as he entered the room, he was greeted by
It was a portrait of Duke Chuanshan. It was a thin old man with a particularly long face, thin eyebrows, and long eyes. His head was wrapped in a black cloth.
The black cloth had a foot-long tail trailing down from both ends, following its ears and resting on its shoulders. The portrait was inscribed with The Partridges by the Duke of Chuanshan.
Heaven "a poem: " Looking at the mirror, I can't recognize it. I ask people that this is Jiang Zhai." Tortoise in the decay with people divination, dream has not yet come true, do not guess. Who wrote it?
I'm so sad that I'll make you frown. Before the flowers fall, you are still alive. I beg God to bury me alive.”On both sides of the portrait, there is a picture of Chuanshan
The couplet he wrote: "The Six Classics rebuked me to open my face, and seven feet from heaven begged to be buried alive."”Shiquan introduced that this was Duke Chuanshan's 70th birthday.
He had asked someone to draw a portrait. Zeng Guofan pointed at the eight seal characters above the statue,"filial piety, calm taste, rosy clouds, pine and firm", and asked,"Who are these eight words?
Questions?"
Shiquan replied,"These are the words that Emperor Yongli gave to our ancestor. It was written by our ancestor's friend, Chen Tiantai." The portrait of my ancestor, this
There's another one in the room." Shiquan pointed at the opposite wall. Zeng Guofan and the others turned around and saw a painting hanging on the opposite wall.
Duke Chuanshan's portrait. The old man looked the same, but his head was not wrapped in cloth, but he wore a scholar's scarf. There was also a poem written by Chuanshan.
"The lonely lamp is helpless, breaking the wall and making a fool of myself. The autumn water and dragonflies have no place to land, all of them are showing signs of decay
Willow, painted with a circle cross, black and white in the picture, want to say the original no mouth. Laugh at me, the cuckoo cries till spring comes. When I was in dire straits, the sky was dark
Low, the standard is like the decline of the hidden. Broken ridge, under the dead tree in the setting sun, and the supervisor sit guard. He pointed to the sky, brushed his neck with frost, and his black hat was still stuck to his head. ask
When you leave, there will still be someone like you!"
Zeng Guofan said,"I don't think this poem was included in the collection of poems of your ancestors."”
Shiquan replied,"Indeed." No one knew what the reason was. Presumably, it was caused by the rise of my ancestors.
Gu, wrote to ridicule himself, later did not think so, did not put into the collection.”
Zeng Guofan nodded.
It was Zeng Guofan, Luo Zenan, and Zeng Guobao's first time here. They took a closer look and found that there were some books and books engraved three times in the room.
Some manuscripts that had not been printed. Zeng Guofan also flipped through the manuscripts. There was a cabinet with the clothes that Chuanshan had worn before he died
Hat. What Zeng Guofan was most interested in was a sword with ancient patterns. The scabbard was made of purple copper skin, surrounded by dense silver nails.
The nail was a five-inch-long bronze sword hilt that had been polished by his hand until it shone brightly. Zeng Guofan did not expect that there was such a thing in Wang Chuanshan's relics.
The ancient sword curiously pulled out a section of it, and immediately, light shot out in all directions. "Good sword!" he blurted out. I'll take the part that's taken out
He sheathed the sword and continued to watch.
After a while, he said to Luo Zenan beside him,"After the war has subsided, we will raise funds to publish the complete works of Duke Chuanshan.
This was a great cause.”
Luo Ze Nan smiled,"At that time, Di Sheng will take the lead and Ze Nan will fully assist."”
Zeng Guofan said,"It's a deal. At that time, I can take the lead, but you'll have to do the editing.”
"I'm willing to use ten years to do this," said Ze Nan.”
Guo Bao smiled and said,"Master Luo Shan is too smart. He actually paid you to study for ten years."”
The three of them laughed. Wang Shiquan heard their conversation and thought of Zeng Guofan praising the ancient sword in the cabinet.
He called Wang Juean to the side and said,"Lord Zeng seems to like the sword of my ancestor." As the saying goes, the sword is given to the strong man, and the red powder is given to the good.
People. Lord Zeng is currently leading his troops to kill the enemy and needs this kind of thing. It's useless for us to keep it, so it's better to give it to him.”
Dang An said,"That's great, you can give it to him later!"”
"I'm afraid Lord Zeng won't accept it."
"Are you saying that he's being polite and embarrassed?”
"No."
"Then what's the reason?"
"In-law, you know that my ancestor was a minister of the former Ming Dynasty. Lord Zeng has no taboos
What?"
Jue An pondered for a moment and said,"I'll say a few words later, and he'll naturally accept it."”
Zeng Guofan's gaze turned to the western wall, where several famous people in modern times had inscribed their names.
There were four words hanging high in front. "The mountain is high." There was a postscript at the end of the letter: "Mr. Wang Chuanshan of Hengshan, the court
Great scholars, outside the study of classics, writing is the same as themselves, not only behavior should be special, enough to establish stubborn cowardice. Deng Xuebo of Xinhua came to Jinling Festival Office and said that his descendants would come to Jinling.
Tuoba Si planned to write a letter, like the descendants of wise people, can inherit the reputation of the family, solid name to send. In April of the 18th year of Daoguang, I looked at the governor, the messenger of the two rivers, and the former Hanlin.
The Academy edited the inscription of Tao Shujing, a student of Anhua.”Next, there was a couplet by Tao Shu: "The scholars of the world are not from the same village, and the teacher of human relations is also a hundred generations."
Teacher." Zeng Guofan secretly cheered in his heart. He continued to read the two lines written by Qi Juanzao and Xu Naipu: "Enraged Ling Heng and Yue Jiu
Qianzhang, the heart caresses Li Sao twenty-five chapters." "Crying bitterly at Xitai, when the emperor and his subjects sailed, their confidant was still the Prime Minister Qu. I live in the southern mountains, after that
Famous mountains write, the same voice only Xu Gu Tinglin.”Xu Nai-pu was followed by a seven-temperament poem written by Chang Dachun during his visit to the thatched cottage in Xiangxi: "Old house
The three rooms are new, and the sages have lived here for a long time. I sigh that today's scenery has changed, and I want to see how many books I wrote in those days. Jia Zi wrote himself Tao Jingjie, Gengyin
who hung Chu Lingjun? I came here to admire the endless hazel, want to offer algae and duckweed to Chuanshan.”Looking at Chang Dachun's words, she thought that he was already dead.
Zeng Guofan couldn't help but feel a little sad. After Chang Dachun, there were still some poems, some were well written, some were average.
Suddenly, a familiar handwriting jumped into his eyes. It was another couplet: " I'm lonely, loyal, sad, and sad. I'm a group of people who push forward the right way of learning."
Canal." A line of words was written behind the couplet: "As for Mister Nong's feast, we can't even see a tiny bit. I would like to quote from your inscription:
He presented it to the emperor. In June of Daoguang Renyin, Tang Jianjing, a descendant of Changsha, wrote an inscription and a letter.”Even Mister Jing Hai had words hanging here, but today, he
It was only his first time here, and compared to his respect for his seniors, Zeng Guofan felt ashamed.
Wang Shiquan walked over and said,"Thank you for your concern, senior. You have given me your calligraphy to brighten up my humble room." It's a pleasure to have you here today.
It is difficult to repeat, Shiquan has prepared pen, ink, paper and inkstone, please adults and distinguished guests to reward poetry couplet, Wang clansmen are very grateful.”
"Guofan is lacking in talent and learning. After the predecessors, how can we interfere? In the future, the world will look at him with a dog's tail, and he will be humiliated.
Yes."
Zeng Guofan modestly refused, Wang Shiquan insisted on pleading. Zeng Guofan was fond of writing poems as a pair of poems. He was willing to write a couplet wherever he was at leisure.
Nian, today I came to the former residence of a Confucian Grandmaster, how could I not be willing to leave a mark? The reason why he declined just now was firstly out of courtesy and humility. Secondly,
It was precisely because this place was extraordinary and he hadn't considered it properly, so for the sake of caution, it was better not to ask. Now I see that Shiquan is sincere
Zhi thought for a while and wrote a couplet on the table: "The Exegesis of the Book of Changes, the Six Classics, the Legacy of Zhou and Kong, the Han and Song Dynasties.
All the Confucian scholars retired to listen to the emperor's advice. The meaning of the word, life to the Tao as the standard, after Lian Luo Guan Min, Yuan and Ming two generations of a teacher.”After writing, I repeatedly say
"You're making a fool of yourself," he said. Everyone saw that Zeng Guofan had a high evaluation of Chuanshan's knowledge, and that his words were strong, straight, rigorous, and smooth.
They praised in unison. Zeng Guofan signed in small characters at the bottom left: "In November of the third year of Xianfeng, he was ordered to help the regimental training minister, the former Rites Department Right Hall.
Zeng Guofan respectfully wrote."
Shiquan also asked Luo Zenan to write, Luo Zenan repeatedly declined: "I've always been slow in thinking, and I don't have any good words in a hurry.”
Zeng Guofan said,"Luo Shan Mo declined. If you refuse again, it will seem that I am not self-sufficient."”
Shiquan knew that Luo Zenan was an extremely influential scholar in central Hunan, so how could he miss this opportunity? Ze Nan Ao Bu
After passing, he could only write a couplet: "Zhong Xi Yue Shi, learning to inherit the horizontal canal, in the past Li said the book, early set a thousand years of career; Hidden in the mountains
Li Lin is famous for his biography. Today, he has collected articles and presented them to the court. He has long been elected as a Confucian scholar for hundreds of generations.”He also signed,"In November of the third year of Xianfeng, I was guaranteed to be promoted to Zhili Prefecture."
Zhizhou Xiangxiang County Discipline Luo Ze Nan."
Everyone praised him. Shiquan also asked for the title of the national treasure. Guo Bao felt awkward. He looked at his eldest brother, not knowing whether he should ask the question or not. Tsang Kwok
Fan understood what he meant and said,"You have always admired the Duke of Chuanshan. Today, when you pay your respects to his former residence, you should write a couplet to express your feelings."
Let's go!"
After receiving his elder brother's encouragement, Guo Bao thought about it seriously and wrote a couplet: " The Xiang River's clouds retain righteousness, and the Chu Ci's lone bamboo proves the same.
Heart." The family came in and said that dinner was ready. Shiquan invited Zeng Guofan and his party, Jue An Master and Ouyang Old Man to sit together.
At the banquet, Shiquan frequently toasted, Jue An also constantly advised him to eat as the host, the host and guest were very happy. I think of the whole world
In order to eliminate Zeng Guofan's concerns about the gift of the sword, he led the topic to Wang Chuanshan's attitude towards the court. I feel like I have a heart
He concealed Chuanshan's hostility towards the Qing Dynasty, but talked about his obedience to the court."People say that the Duke of Chuanshan is a minister left behind by the Ming Dynasty.
The cooperation between the two countries was not comprehensive.
Sir is indeed loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but he also supports the Qing Dynasty.”
"Really?" Guo Bao interjected.
"This is proven by the facts." Wang Juean continued," In the 16th year of Kangxi, Wu Sangui admired Chuanshan's great name and offered a large sum of money to you.
He wrote "Persuade to Advance Table," Mr. sternly refused, saying: How can I make such words that heaven does not cover and earth does not carry? In the face of great right and wrong,
You can see your ambition."
Zeng Guofan nodded in agreement with Wang shi's point of view. Shiquan knew Jue An's intention and immediately continued,""It's because of my family
His ancestors did not collude with Wu Sangui, so Emperor Kangxi admired his ancestors 'moral integrity. In the 18th year of Kangxi, Zheng Duan, the governor of Hunan Province, followed
The court issued an edict ordering Cui Mingao, the prefect of Hengzhou, to present rice and silver. In the forty-second year of Kangxi, he was invited by Pan Zongluo, a scholar of Huguang, to stop the tiger.
The matter of the public printing and engraving of the will. In the forty-sixth year of Kangxi, the court approved the worship of Chuanshan Gong in the Xiangxian Temple. In the thirty-ninth year of Qianlong, the Book of Changes
The Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, and the Spring and Autumn Annals were included in the Four Treasury Books, and the National History Museum was ordered to write biographies for the ancestors of the family.”
Zeng Guofan said,"The previous Holy Lords of our dynasty have always shown great kindness to Master Chuanshan.”
Shiquan added,"Fortunately, Long Hair did not enter Hengzhou. With his attitude towards Confucius and Mencius, our ancestors will also be humiliated. Wang Yaping
In order to have today's peace, it is really thanks to you and your gentlemen to defend the village and fight hard against Long Hair. If my ancestors in the underworld know, they will definitely meet.
I'm so grateful."
Zeng Guofan humbly thanked him and said,"When I entered the door, I saw the couplet in the mansion,'Kung Fu opens the destiny of the country'. It seems that you, sir,
Our ancestors started off with martial arts."
He said,"Lord, you are wise. The ancestors of the Wang family had indeed won a position for the family with their martial arts.”
Ze Nan said,"We are humble and have never heard of the military merits of your ancestors.”
"The Wang family originated from Taiyuan and later moved to Hanjiang, Jiangsu. Zhong Yigong, the ancestor of Duke Chuanshan's branch, followed Hongwu back then.
The emperor raised an army and later crossed the river to conquer Jinling. He was granted the title of Qianhu of Zuo Wei in Qingzhou, Shandong Province. In the twenty-second year of Hongwu, he was promoted to General Wude and Xiao.
Cavalry Captain. The second ancestor Cheng Gong followed Ming Chengzu to the south and made meritorious service. He was promoted to the commander of Hengzhou Wei, Qian Shi, Tongzhi of Jin Dynasty, and awarded the rank of Huaiyuan General and Light Car Capital.
He then settled down in Hengzhou. It is said that after six generations, the emperor's descendants were very prosperous, but after seven years, the military industry declined. After that, Confucians came forth in large numbers."
"Which generation is Chuanshan Gong?"
"This is the eleventh generation. The old sword that he saw was given to Zhong Yi Gong by Emperor Wu Hong. Zhong Yi Gong used this sword to follow him.
Emperor Hongwu captured Jinling. Lord Zeng, you are leading the army now, it is time to use the sword. Ever since Duke Wuyi, the Wang Clan had always been
He is famous for his articles. If this sword was left in the Wang Clan, it would only be an antique and would not be able to display its full potential. Since ancient times, the sword has been given to the strong, if
If you don't mind, Shiquan is willing to represent the Wang Clan to give this sword to you.”
"This can't be done! This sword was the Wang family's heirloom, how could Guofan snatch it away!”Zeng Guofan hurriedly declined.
"Bohan, since Shiquan is sincere, just accept it! This sword has made great achievements in martial arts and is the lucky sword that conquered Jinling.
Things. Today, Long Hair occupied Jinling, and the world gave him to you. This is God's will. In the future, when Jinling was recovered, it would definitely be Bohan.”Wang Jue
Li An assisted the in-laws to persuade them.
Zeng Guofan originally thought that Wang Chuanshan was a former Ming Dynasty official who did not cooperate with the Qing Dynasty. Today, he heard Wang Shiquan and Wang Juean say that Fang
He knew that he was also a loyal warrior of this dynasty. What made him even more excited was that this sword had the glorious experience of conquering Jinling. Could it be that the people who recovered Jinling
Did he really have to build his own peerless achievements? If it was really the will of the heavens, then it could not be violated. Zeng Guofan thought of this and stood up.
He said,"Since I have received Mr. Shiquan's favor and this is Master Wang's order, I will accept it.”
Shiquan ordered someone to take out a sword and gave it to Guofan with both hands, saying,"This sword has two special points. One, the blade looked dull,
However, cutting iron and cutting jade is like cutting mud. The second was that every midnight, it would give a long cry. It has been like this for many years."
Everyone at the table was surprised, and Zeng Guofan was even happier. "Bohan," said Wang Juean,"I beg you on behalf of the Wang Clan. future
When Jinling is conquered and the world is stable, please invite famous scholars from all over the world to collate and engrave the complete works of Duke Chuanshan.
His lifelong ambition has been realized, and he has brought glory to our dynasty's academic achievements. According to my pedantic opinion, this merit may not be inferior to the one that flattened Long Hair.”
Zeng Guofan turned sideways and replied,"I will remember my teacher's teachings." In the future, the first merit of conquering Jinling will not be in my hands. If God gives it to me, I will be the one to do it.
I will definitely engrave all of Duke Chuanshan's will in Jinling.”
Shiquan stood up and expressed his gratitude. Everyone continued drinking. Old Ouyang said,"Today, Di Sheng is happy to have a sword. I am also very proud."
Xing. This old man really likes an ancient sword inscription that I read in the past. How about I give this ancient sword inscription to you?”
"Thank you, father-in-law." Zeng Guofan replied respectfully.
"This ancient sword inscription is written like this.”Ning Zhi read out word by word," If you use its light lightly, you will be injured. It is a bad omen."
Weapons, hidden as if clumsy, in the face of the opportunity to decide, this is a sharp weapon.”
After listening to this ancient sword inscription, Zeng Guofan understood his father-in-law's far-reaching intentions. He stood up gratefully and said,"Guofan remembers
Heart."
Ning Zhi then said to Zeng Guofan,"You have been here for four months. I heard that no matter how big or small, you have to do everything yourself, work day and night, and have no worries."
In his spare time. In the long run, it would damage his body. Bing Yu's mother wanted me to tell you to take care of yourself at all times. This morning you can
I'm very happy to take a break from my busy work and fish on the river. Since ancient times, people who had achieved great things would take a break from their busy work. one by
Relax, it's the path of literature and martial arts!"
When he heard his father-in-law mention the fishing in the morning, he suddenly thought of the matter of establishing a navy. Wang shi, his father-in-law, and Mr. Shiquan were all erudite.
Ru, why not discuss it with them?
"Guofan is very grateful for mother-in-law's concern. Guofan was fishing in Jiangxue this morning. He remembered that Long Hair had successfully broken through this time.
The three towns of Wu Han, Anqing, and Jiujiang had long been heading for Jiangning, and recently, they had wreaked havoc in Jiangxi, relying entirely on the navy. In the future, we and Long Hair
We can't do without cannon ships. I want to build a navy in Hengzhou. Today, I specially ask all the seniors, I wonder if it is feasible?”
Ouyang Ningzhi, Jiang Juean, and Wang Shiquan all agreed that Zeng Guofan's plan was far-reaching. Hengzhou was located at the confluence of Zhengxiang River and was familiar with water.
With so many people, there was no need to worry about not being able to train a strong navy. In the end, Wang Shiquan said,"Lord Zeng wants to start a navy, I think of one."
This person grew up in AnHui with his father. He had a copy of Gong Jin Water Combat Technique at home. Over the years, he had studied the navy.
He is an extremely useful talent."
"Who is this person?" Zeng Guofan was very interested in Wang Shiquan's recommendation.
"This person is called Peng Yulin, also known as Xueqin, and is from this county's Zha Jiang.”
"That's right," said Wang Juean. If it wasn't for in-laws mentioning it, I would have forgotten about it. This person can really be called a jade unicorn in Hengzhou Prefecture
Lin."
"Where is Peng Yulin now?"
"He's currently accompanying his mother in Slag River.”Shiquan replied.
"I'll visit him at Slag River in a few days.”
" I don't want to trouble Lord Zeng to come to Zha Jiang personally," Wang Shiquan said." I'll write a letter to invite him to my humble abode in the future, and I'll accompany him."
I pay my respects to you on Mulberry Garden Street."
