Yang Jiang and the rest of the merchants followed suit and donated some. Within a few days, they had raised 90,000 taels of silver. various specifications of
A hundred cannons were transported in succession in the next few days. Zeng Guofan distributed the silver to each battalion and ordered them to prepare for departure.
He watched as the troops of the land and water battalions were busy polishing their weapons, distributing armaments, transporting rations, and repairing warships.
Zeng Guofan was excited and excited at the busy scene before the war. It was already midnight, at the intersection of the steamed water and the Xiang River.
Under the stone drum's mouth, in the temporary repair factory, the lights were still bright and the fire was raging. The crisp sound of metal clashing echoed.
He entered the ancestral hall of the Zhao family. Zeng Guofan stood on the top floor and looked affectionately in the direction of the stone drum mouth, as if he saw the fire splashing from the anvil.
Xing, seeing the red smiling faces of the onlookers, her heart was filled with emotions.
Zeng Guofan was a steady person, not the kind of frivolous person whose emotions were easy to rise and fall. Ever since he followed Tang Jian to study Cheng and Zhu's Confucianism, he had become even more…
It was a conscious request to conduct oneself in the world, to do things and study, to use more reason and less emotion. He admired and imitated the calm and collected manner of learning.
The ancient demeanor of a famous minister who hid great wisdom and courage in his heart without showing his emotions. However, tonight, my heart was like it was possessed.
Can be stable. He lit an incense stick, closed his eyes, and sat on the bed with his legs crossed, trying to imagine Xie An playing Go before the battle of Fei River.
He forced himself to settle down with the superhuman rationality of the game of Go after receiving the good news…
Yes, Zeng Guofan had thousands of reasons to be excited. From "Don't say a spoonful of water, there will be mosquitoes and dragons" to "still with Guo
With Li, he returned the two capitals to the emperor "to" establish virtue, pursue Confucius and Mencius, save the times and match Zhuge ", from youth to youth to middle age, a kind of desire
The dream of building a great cause and becoming an extraordinary person had always run through his life. But in the past, this kind of ideal was only revealed in poetry
Sometimes, it was also revealed in the letters and conversations with his close friends. These few years, although his official career had been prosperous, he had not made any great contributions. this
Heavens, after a year of enduring humiliation and hardship, he already had 20 battalions of water and land, 10,000 Xiang soldiers, plus
There are nearly 20,000 people in the capital. He was the true commander of this army. As long as he gave the order, they would advance by land and water.
Banners covered the sky and battleships were like clouds. It was truly majestic and awe-inspiring. From now on, he would personally command this force to annihilate the commander.
Mao, recover lost land, do Guo, Li, Zhuge's cause. The dream of thirty years, once it became a reality today, this dream from the lotus leaf
After walking out of the pond, the children of the farmers who had no ancestors or backers and relied solely on themselves felt extremely emotional!
At this moment, he thought of the legend of the python spirit's reincarnation and Chen Fu's prophecy. Duke, marquis, general, it's really a matter of time
It was over! The weak scholar from back then was really a giant who could turn the world around!
At this moment, he also thought of the Changsha citizens 'curses of " once shaved their heads ", the arrogance of Bao Qibao and Deng Shaoliang, and the tolerance of anger.
The pain of moving troops to Hengzhou. Now that this Xiangyong team had been built, they could immediately win the battle and hold their heads high! days
The servants were about to see that he, Zeng Guofan, was not a mediocre person!
At this moment, he still remembered the Emperor's earnest words, Prince Gong and Scholar Su's enthusiastic recommendation, and Master Jing Hai's reputation.
The extreme trust he had for her, his entire body was boiling with heat. "I didn't let you down. I, Zeng Guofan, will save the world and the people.
Guo Ziyi and Li Mi! From now on, I will repay your kindness with frequent good news!”Zeng Guofan almost from the bottom of his heart
He shouted.
It was winter night in the southern country, and the weather was still cold. Tonight, Zeng Guofan was hot and dry. He unbuttoned the cloth buttons on his old cotton robe, and his heart ached.
There was a kind of comfort that he had never felt before. A horse neighed in the distance. It was the horse on night duty adding fodder. "Lu Fei of the Horse
The bow was as fast as a thunderbolt. To finish the king's affairs in the world, to win the reputation of life and death.”The long and short sentences of Xin Jiaxuan hundreds of years ago seemed to be
It was his current mood. Zeng Guofan was luckier than Xin Qiji. He didn't have to lament that it happened in vain.
When you are young and strong, you can make great achievements!
"For such an open and aboveboard war against the rebels, there should be a denunciation on the eve of sending troops!”From Xin Qiji's Ci, Zeng Guo
Fan suddenly thought of Luo Binwang's "crusade against the Wu family." Back then, Xu Jingye's crusade against him, which had been defeated in an instant and had no effect,
It should have been eliminated by history long ago, but because of King Luo Bin's denunciation, people had been talking about it for more than a thousand years. own
This time, the crusade will definitely win. It is definitely not comparable to Xu Jingye's army. There should be a better one than the "Crusade against the Wu Family".
A better article! It wanted to accompany this ancient earthquake with gorgeous literary talent, grand boldness of vision, vivid words, and sonorous tones.
The war of today would be remembered for hundreds of generations, allowing future generations to remember the great achievements of their predecessors when they read this denunciation.
Zeng Guofan felt that although there were many exhortations in the previous generation, except for Luo Binwang's article, they were all bad articles because they were all written by people who caught knives.
For. How could a man of letters, whose job was to chew on words, have the spirit of the Commander-in-chief of the three armed forces to swallow the world and rotate the universe?
Heart. This article should be written by himself!
Yes, Zeng Guofan was a master of writing. When he first entered Han Garden, he followed Mei Boyan and entered the Tong City Faction.
Li liked Yao Nai's ancient prose very much and agreed with his theory. Zeng Guofan studied the writing of ancient prose hard. few years
During this time, he became famous in the capital, and there was an endless stream of people asking for his composition. Even the poetry collection of Fang Shi Ji Zhimao was published, and Zeng Guofan was asked to write it on his behalf.
Preface: Scholars take it as an honor to get Zeng Guofan's article. Zeng Guofan was deeply influenced by Yao Nai, and he liked to have a vast momentum and soar.
The magnificent and strong masculine beauty, when writing, is full of momentum, sound and light. But he was not quick to think, and every time he wrote,
He had to rack his brains, sometimes until he was exhausted, and after he had written it, he would change it again and again until he was satisfied.
He came out to show his friends. The final revised article would often receive high praise from the literary world. But the hundreds of writings written in the past
Chapter, compared to this denunciation that was about to be written, what was it? Zeng Guofan thought, those poems, prefaces, longevity prefaces, those tombs
The inscription on the table and the tomb is either to make use of the topic to play, or to moan without illness, or to say something insincere because of the feelings, even if it is written again.
Well, it was just a good article. It could never be compared to this denunciation. This denunciation will lift morale and win
The hearts of the people, deterring the enemy, disintegrating the coerced followers. Its effect could even surpass a mighty army. Otherwise, how could it have existed since ancient times?
What about the saying of 'sending a proclamation to pacify the world'? In the face of such a denunciation, all literary works would appear weak and pale.
And today, this denunciation was written by the Commander-in-chief of the three armies! This made Zeng Guofan especially excited. Since ancient times,
There were thousands of denunciations, but which one was written by the commander himself? No! The Commander-in-chief of the three armies had personally drafted a denunciation to the rebels.
It was recorded in the annals of history with unprecedented glory!
The more Zeng Guofan thought about it, the more excited he became. He put out the incense stick, got out of bed, lit the oil lamp, and took out the lotus leaf inkstone given by Tang Peng.
Emperor Daoguang gave him Hui Mo to grind a thick ink. He chose a fine and soft high-grade Xuan paper, held a pen and quickly wrote.
The title of the denunciation was "The Exhortation to the Yue Bandits." Then, he left the desk and paced around the room with his hands behind his back.
The oil lamp flickered and danced, illuminating his tired and excited long face, illuminating his broad shoulders and thick back.
It was long and reflected on the wall like a bamboo pole. After a while, a large shadow covered half of the house.
Dark clouds rose for half a day. "This denunciation has to surpass the 'Crusade against the Wu Clan's Denouncement.”Zeng Guofan thought. He tried not to fall behind Luo Binwang
He had designed a few different arrangements, but none of them were as good as Luo Binwang's. Helpless, she could only follow in Luo shi's footsteps.
First, he would scold the target of his crusade. Just as he picked up the pen, he felt difficulty again. King Luo Bin was familiar with Wu Zetian, and many of the Wu family's secrets were in his hands.
In his hand. But Zeng Guofan knew nothing about Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, and he didn't know much about Long Hair either. After being captured by Long Hair for half a day
He only felt Long Hair's viciousness and hated the officials of the imperial court, but he did not see them do anything bad with his own eyes. However,
After all, Long Hair was hateful. If Kang Fu had not come to save him that day, his head would have been chopped off long ago. No matter what, Long Hair is a bandit.
He had to be scolded to arouse the hatred of the people. He picked up the pen and started writing. After writing a paragraph, he repeatedly considered his words and painted them.
After changing it, he finally felt satisfied and read it out softly to see how it sounded:
He was appointed to the post of Secretary of State. It has been five years since the rebels Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing rebelled. Poisoned millions of lives, ravaged counties
More than 5,000 li. No matter how big or small the ships were, and no matter how rich or poor the people were, they were all plundered, leaving nothing behind.
Those who hit the target will be stripped of their clothes and searched for money. Those who do not offer up five taels of silver to the rebels will be beheaded. The men were given a round of rice a day to drive them to the battlefield.
Go forward and drive them to build a city and dig trenches. Women are given a round of rice every day, drive them to the city wall to watch the night, drive them to carry rice and pick coal. Women refuse to untie their feet
Those who do not obey the law will be immediately beheaded, enough to show the women. Boatmen plot to escape back, then carry their bodies upside down to show the boatmen.
After reading this paragraph, he felt that the tone was okay. Recently, Zeng Guofan had realized many tricks of the world in his spare time.
These tips were grouped into eight books: "Reading is based on exegesis, composing poetry is based on tone, serving parents is based on pleasing them.
To keep one's health is to guard against anger, to keep oneself from speaking nonsense, to stay at home without dying, to be an official without money, and to march without fear.
Disturbing the people." He sometimes thought that after Long Hair was pacified, he would build another house in his hometown. This house contained the emperor's seal.
He named the house after the imperial edict and gifts, as well as the memorials, poems, diary, and books he had written over the years.
"Eight Books Hall", engraved the "eight books" on the hall, let it be passed on to future generations together with the emperor's grace and the book, forever preserving the past.
my family's road is flourishing. He was satisfied with the content and tone, and Zeng Guofan continued to write.
He recalled the conversation he had with Guo Songtao before leaving the mountain last year. That's right! We must raise the banner of protecting morality and win over people by protecting morality and education.
Especially to arouse the public anger of all the scholars in the world.
Zeng Guofan wrote:
Scholars could not recite Confucius 'scriptures, but there were other books such as the so-called Jesus and the New Covenant, which cited thousands of years of etiquette, righteousness, human relations and poetry in the Heavenly Dynasty.
Books and classics, once swept away. This is not only the change of our Qing Dynasty, but also the strange change of the Confucian ethics since the founding of the People's Republic of China. Confucius and Mencius wept bitterly.
In the netherworld, all who read and write, how can they sit still with their hands folded, without thinking about doing anything?
He felt that this paragraph was very well written and very powerful. It was the true expression of his feelings and was also spoken by the world's cultured people.
The righteous anger that had been stored in his chest for a long time. Following that, Zeng Guofan burned Hong Yang's school palace, destroyed Confucius 'wooden tablet, defiled the statue of Guan Di and Yue Wang, and destroyed Buddha.
He wrote a paragraph about temples, monasteries, Shing Wong, society, and so on. He wanted to use this to arouse the hatred of the entire society towards the Taiping Army. In the end, Zeng Guofan announced
I have been ordered by the Son of Heaven to lead 20,000 troops and advance by land and water. I swear to endure hardships and taste courage to destroy this vicious rebel. I also call for the support of all parties.
He…For these people, some will be treated as guests and teachers, some will be given preferential treatment, some will be granted official titles, and those who rebel will be spared from death. If anyone is willing
If he defected and resisted the punishment of the heavens, then he would be destroyed with the pressure of the army.
After the full text was written, Zeng Guofan read it again and was disappointed. The words that were written, with him
Sitting on the bed, the denunciation that he was thinking about was too different. Whether it was in terms of boldness or writing, it was better than Luo Binwang's.
The "Battle of Wu" is very inferior. "Surpass" and so on, where did he start! Lacking the saying,"Mountains crumble when they growl, winds blow when they shout
His expression changed. With this, he could defeat any enemy, and with this, he could defeat any enemy. He did not have the momentum of "Loyalty will never be forgotten when the words are still ringing in my ears."
His heart was filled with grief and indignation, and he didn't have the grief of 'please see whose world is in the domain today.'
Such a shocking ending phrase. Zeng Guofan revised it over and over again until the rooster crowed, but he was still not satisfied. he has no
He sighed helplessly,"It seems that this denunciation has already made King Luo Bin reach the peak of perfection. No one in the future can surpass him."”Then he shook his head again.
The head, unconvinced, thought, There's nothing in the world that can't be surpassed! Changli said,"When qi is exuberant, the length of speech and the height of sound are suitable."
Could it be that my aura is inferior to Luo Binwang's? Luo Bin Wang was just a scholar, and he was the commander of the three armies, yet he was inferior to him! Zeng Guofan pondered
He didn't understand until the chickens near and far started to crow together and the sky was already bright. He then put down his pen tiredly and the excitement before he started to write.
Most of his excitement had disappeared.
After the denunciation was written, Zeng Guofan ordered a large number of copies to be copied and posted everywhere, so that everyone in the downtown and remote areas knew about it. do a good job
After that, Zeng Guofan began to consider another important matter.
There were two troops on land and water, including nearly 20,000 laborers. Once they left Hengzhou, they would have to fight with all their might.
Battle. Zeng Guofan thought that his main energy would also be placed in the aspect of defeating the enemy, so he must establish a cabinet similar to the one in the court.
Such organizations dealt with daily affairs such as distributing documents, allocating grain and silver, purchasing military supplies, and so on. This organization is for
Zeng Guofan named it Grain Platform. There are eight stations under the grain platform. The copywriting office is responsible for dealing with all kinds of documents.
The internal money department was responsible for arranging the money of the water and land battalions in Xiangyong. The Foreign Money Office is responsible for receiving and dispatching money from the imperial court and the provinces.
The Armament Office was responsible for purchasing all kinds of equipment used by the army, such as uniforms, tents, horses, etc. firearms by
They were in charge of buying all kinds of firearms, mainly cannons. The Detective Agency was responsible for intelligence and military reports. The court is responsible for handling Yong.
Various conflicts between the soldiers and the civilians; The editing and editing office specializes in collecting and editing the loyalty and filial piety of the officers and soldiers of Xiangyong.
The materials were reported to the court in order to reward and encourage the loyal and honest people and encourage morale. Food Taiwan entrusted Huang Mian and Guo Kuntao as managers; At the same time, it was also set up in Hengzhou
The donation bureau accepted donations from merchants from all over the country, and this matter was entrusted to his brother-in-law Ouyang Bingquan.
Soon, Hengzhou and Xiangtan shipyards reported that they had built 40 Kuaixie, 50 Changlong, and 150 sampans.
He also built a large ship called the Tuowu, which was dragged by five or six boats as Zeng Guofan's ship.
There were dozens of ships, and more than 200 civilian ships were hired to carry military supplies. At the end of the first month of the fourth year of Xianfeng, preparations in all aspects were made in Zhou.
Under the secret arrangements, everything was generally ready. Zeng Guofan heaved a sigh of relief. At this time, the imperial court issued another urgent order, ordering Zeng
Guo Guofan went North along the Xiangjiang River and rushed to help Wu Han. Zeng Guofan decided to set off from Hengzhou on the 28th of the first month.
On the afternoon of the 27th, Zeng Guofan remembered that he would be marching north the next morning, so he could not calm down. He Fen
Xiang sat cross-legged on the bed and closed her eyes to focus. Half an hour later, her mind gradually calmed down. Thus, he invited Luo Zenan over to have tea and play chess. Luo
A few days ago, Ze Nan was reinstated as a battalion commander. After that setback, Luo Zenan had become even more experienced. Jinsong
If there is a vacancy in the camp officer of Wang Ling, Zeng Guobao will act as the agent. In their usual interactions, Zeng Guofan treated Luo Zenan differently from anyone else.
He treated her like a teacher and a friend. In their free time, the two often talked about academic matters together. In the study of Cheng and Zhu's Confucianism
In this aspect, Zeng Guofan often felt ashamed that he was not as good as Luo Zenan.
Zeng Guofan and Luo Nanze had yet to finish their match when the bodyguard came in to report, A young scholar came to visit. Zeng Guofan has always been modest
Humble oneself to receive visitors, especially scholars. He ordered the chessboard to be put away and ordered for an immediate audience.
