Chapter 538 The Left Mule is Not Simple (Part 2)
"Yang Junmen, you need to take good care of the city defense matters. Master Futai and Zuo are both newcomers, so you are not as familiar with the defense of the three towns in Wuhan!"
Regardless of Zhang Liangji's frequent eyes, Zuo Mule smiled and sent Yang Meng's garrison for Zhang Liangji.
"It's not a good idea to be familiar with it, it's just a month ago. Lord Futai, now this long-haired thief has occupied Jiangning. The three towns of Wuhan are related to the safety of the two lakes. If the long-haired thief wants to seize the two lakes, he will definitely attack the three towns of Wuhan.
Now, there are only two or three thousand soldiers in this city, and the newly trained courage is only more than ten thousand. If the hairy thief attacks in large numbers, it is probably not easy to defend the city."
Yang Meng is not a joke. The number of Taiping Army will increase sharply in the near future. Although the joining of new recruits will weaken the combat effectiveness of veterans, at most three to five months, as long as the Taiping Army fights more battles and leads the new with the old, more than 100,000 elite soldiers can be easily trained.
After Yang Meng said this, Zhang Liangji's face disappeared. He just wanted to compete for control of the three towns in Wuhan, but forgot about the long-haired thief. Now that I want to come, it is really a clever plan to leave Yang Laosan who can beat him!
"Then it's a blessing for Yang Junmen!"
After squeezing his fist, Yang Meng in Zhang Liangji's eyes was not so disgusting. He thought of Chang Dachun, the former governor of Hubei who committed suicide to sacrifice his country, Jiang Wenqing, the governor of Anhui who was slaughtered by the long-haired thieves, Lu Jianfeng, the imperial envoy, and General Xianghou of Jiangning, and Zhang Liangji also felt a little numb.
The three towns in Wuhan are important military cities and a place of battle. Jiangning has grown more hair and established the capital of Tianjing. This Jiangnan is their must-fight. Sichuan, Hunan, Hubei, Jiangsu and Anhui are their targets. These two lakes are where the hairy thieves make their fortunes. How can there be a reason to let go?
"I really can't do this, and my troops are limited. If Changmao attacks all the way, Lao Tzu can fight him to a dilemma. If he attacks two or three ways, we have to get out of bed!
Lord Futai, it is best to gather all the soldiers in Hubei and set up defense lines near the three towns of Wuhan, otherwise the hairy thieves will be difficult to stop!
Moreover, the military funds and military expenditures are also hoarded. When the long-haired thieves left the three towns of Wuhan, they captured hundreds of thousands of people. They were afraid that in a short time, the available soldiers of the long-haired thieves would be at least 200,000 to 300,000, and the area along the river would be a must-fight. Once the army attacked and we were not prepared enough, the three towns of Wuhan would still be a gain and lost again."
The main reason why Yang Meng said this was that he did not want to fight with the Taiping Army. The luck of this object was very evil. Now it is probably when they were at their peak. Zeng Di from Hunan could not be born. Yang Meng did not intend to fight with the Taiping Army on a large scale.
"I wonder what Yang Junmen thinks about guarding Hubei?"
Yang Laosan said it right. Zhang Liangji is really lucky, but Hunan and Hubei are now just a pair of brothers in distress. Maybe which one will be beaten first?
Although he finally helped Zeng Disheng up in Hunan and was transferred to Hubei before he had time to use it, there was a Yang Laosan who was more powerful than Zeng Disheng. After listening to Yang Meng's analysis, Zuo Zongtang also nodded, the Five Tigers of the Yangtze River, the Five Tigers of the Yangtze River, the Jiangning Mansion, the Three Towns of Wuhan, and the Chongqing Mansion. Now Jiangning Mansion has been in the hands of the long-haired thief. Anqing is also an empty city in Anqing, with a broken city. The remaining Three Tigers, Shanghai Road, have foreign gunboats, which is probably not easy to take. Chongqing Mansion has the shield of Wuhan.
After counting, the three towns in Wuhan are the most susceptible to being attacked by hairy thieves. In the Battle of Wuchang a year ago, all the elite troops in Hubei were lost. Nowadays, most of the green camp soldiers in various prefectures and counties are useless. Only one Yang Laosan is a capable person and he is not confident enough.
Although Wuchang City is not declining, it is also a bottomless pit for money. Now, it is the time when the green and yellow people are not in line. Yang Laosan has entered the three towns of Wuhan to provide relief to the people. Is it a helpless move?
Once there is no food, I am afraid that when the hair grows, there will be countless followers!
"Break Hubei? Zuo Mule, are you kidding Laozi? How many of us are there? Are you still guarding Hubei! I see that it is difficult to guard the three towns of Wuhan when I gathered up the soldiers in Hubei!"
To be honest, it is very cruel. It is difficult to defend Hubei. Now Hubei is not just a threat. The crimp that took the opportunity to rise up in the Shandong, Henan and Anhui area is also a threat to Hubei. It is afraid that it will not be possible to defend Hubei and guard Hubei like an iron barrel. However, the total number of troops that the imperial court suppressed Changmao was added together. It is just a joke.
"What Yang Junmen means is to gather all the money and grain from prefectures and prefectures and counties in Hubei to the three towns of Wuhan?"
This Yang Laosan is indeed not simple! He glanced at the seemingly vulgar Yang Laosan, and Zuo Zongtang also had a few different things in his eyes. This Yang Laosan was hiding his weakness!
If the three towns in Wuhan are not lost, Hubei will not lose. If the other prefectures and counties in Hubei are not lost, the other prefectures and counties in Wuhan will soon be lost. Gathering the entire Hubei power to protect the three towns in Wuhan is definitely a military plan!
"That's your left mule's idea is not Yang Laozi. Yang Laozi is the training minister of the five provinces' naval divisions. It's really not possible. Yang Laozi patted his butt. Go to Hunan. As for you two, guard the three towns of Wuhan and cry at the besieged thieves!
Seeing that it was time for dinner, the money was tight, so let’s stop spending more. There is a shop for porridge in front, so let’s go and have something together!
Lord Futai, when you come to the three towns of Wuhan, you always have to express your intentions. People can eat this porridge for free, so we have to spend money. Five taels of silver per bowl is not expensive, right?”
While speaking, Yang Meng reached out and grabbed Zhang Zuo and the others. Usually, these two people usually eat tycoon meals. What does it mean to experience life? It is necessary for ordinary people to eat and officials to eat every meal. And the money has to be paid off with just a few streaks and twelves.
Each person had a brown porcelain bowl, with sporadic porridge with scattered vegetable leaves and some oil flowers floating in it. It tasted salty and it didn't taste very good, but I had a good time to drink it.
Yang Meng drank seven or eight bowls before he was about to fill up the water. Zuo Mule was not polite. He drank less bowl after bowl than Yang Meng. Zhang Liangji looked at the things in the bowl and couldn't drink it anymore. This was no different from swamp water. He barely drank half of the bowl. Although he could still eat, it felt really bad.
"Mr. Futai, this account..."
After drinking the porridge, Yang wiped his mouth hard, but there was no intention of treating him.
"Mr. Ji..."
Zhang Liangji's money was placed on the boat. He was a governor of a small border. He was still a quiet person, so he didn't have to pay the money himself.
"Uh... Yang Junmen... This is short of money. Look..."
After turning over, Zuo Zongtang took out a few taels of scattered silver, but this was still much different from nearly a hundred taels of rice.
"What's the matter? Don't you understand the people's sentiment? Is it a waste of food and drink without bringing money? Zuo Mule, I see you made a lot of money just now, why did you become timid when you pay for it?
I didn't bring it, so let's do it! A porridge shop and a pig is recorded in the governor's office.
Go and do it!"
Inviting guests is also the time to score points. Now is not the time to treat guests. When Yang Meng opened his mouth, Zuo Mule smiled, and Zhang Liangji's face was a little unhappy.
Yang Meng and Zuo Zongtang drank a lot. When they were patrolling the city in the afternoon, they were so energetic, but Zhang Liangji was in trouble. He was determined not to leave, and he was afraid of offending Yang Laosan, a land tiger who had been earlier than him for more than a month. Leaving, half a bowl of porridge was not a matter of business. He was so tired and hungry!
"I didn't see that Yang Junmen still has the ability to manage politics."
The three of them walked along the way, and Wuchang City was generally good. In addition to the porridge shop, there were teams of busy people. Many young and strong people holding sticks also aroused Zuo Zongtang's interest.
"Hi! I can't do it! This is all done by the people below, and I don't know anything about the rest. But there is one thing that Yang knows very well. Now at this time, it's rare to defend the city and fight without the support of the people!
Look at the long-haired thief who has to eat, drink and drink along the way. The war also wins continuously; look at the green camp soldiers of the imperial court, who have been robbing food, drink and women all the way. The war is so embarrassing. Fight with less and defeat more! Fight with less and defeat less!
Let’s talk about that guy Lu Jianfeng. He just didn’t do anything to Yang Laozi. If Yang Laozi met him and had to peel him off, he would have to take the female family from his family to work hard! What a thing? He ran away before he could fight this battle. It’s hard tolerate such a person without death!"
As soon as Yang Meng said this, Zhang Liangji couldn't help but fight a few cold wars. He knew what kind of object Yang Laosan was. Now the monk who is in power has suffered a loss in his hands. Yang Laosan probably said this to himself.
"What Yang Junmen said is, I wonder if Zuo can meet you. After all, we are all making a living, and there are always some things that can be said together."
"Haha... I'm afraid that you, Zuo Mule, will admit defeat then! Look! This is my guest. If you have anything, just ask!"
The left mule wanted to reach the bottom, but Yang Meng also let him reach the bottom and reached out to pull Gu Yayue. Sure enough, the left mule smiled bitterly on his face.
"Yang Junmen, this..."
"As if you are a fake Muke, the big things and small love in the three towns of Wuhan are all in her heart!"
"I'm lucky to know! I'll ask this gentleman to make a statement about the general situation of the three towns in Wuhan, so Zuo is more familiar with it."
Without looking at Gu Yayue, Zuo Mule hugged her fist with a slanted face and hurriedly finished her words.
Gu Yayue was not polite, and waved her hand and came to a Yazi. She took out the paper, ink cartridge, and a wolf-haired pen from her sleeve. It took about a quarter of an hour for Yazi's back to write down the general situation of the three towns in Wuhan.
"Mr. Zuo!"
"It's a labor!"
The two were handing over official duties, but Yang Meng leaned against Zhang Liangji.
"Mr. Futai, you have to make peace with the matter of cooperation in the future. After all, it is quite expensive to support more than 10,000 people. Yang San was responsible for training the navy team. This solid river ship is also a big cost to make a living. Now there is not much problem with the land defense in the three towns of Wuhan, and the problem with the river defense is quite large."
Some things can be done by Zuo Mule, but some things must be nodded by the governor Zhang Liangji.
"Yang Junmen, I don't know where the problem lies. The three towns in Wuhan are important, so we should solve it early."
"No ship or cannon! There are more than ten thousand river ships and more than ten thousand artillery. Our navy team trains, even cats and dogs, only twenty or thirty cannons of big and big artillery, and thirty or forty big and big river ships, with a huge gap in strength!
There is no problem with land defense, but there are no ships or cannons in the river defense. No matter how many people there are, it will be useless. I am determined to set up a dock and build a cannon bureau in the three towns of Wuhan. I had a note before this, and the court agreed. But Yang San was finally a martial artist, and some words were more important if the governor said it."
Zhang Liangji also felt that Yang Laosan's words were very pertinent. Only by building ships and casting can we build a powerful navy. Wuhan Sanzhenjiang defense is the main focus. With Yang Laosan's idea, the three towns in Wuhan will be as solid as ever!
"It's not a big problem for me to pay my respects, but I'm afraid this money and food will be difficult to raise!"
Things are good, but whether it is a dock or a gun factory, the money used may be calculated at hundreds of thousands of taels. Zhang Liangji is also willing to do this, but he is afraid that he will not have the money in his hands then!
"The money and food matters are not troubled by the adults. The protection of the three towns of Wuhan involves the life and death of Hubei. No one in Hubei can stay out of this matter. As long as the adults agree to the joint salary, Yang San promises to achieve some results within half a year."
Yang Meng said this to dispel Zhang Liangji's concerns. He was ultimately an outsider. He was the real governor, the person in Hubei. It would be difficult to deal with without him nodding!
"Then I'll go back and think about it."
Although it is good, Zhang Liangji dared not agree easily. It is better to be more secure in some things.
After the two finished speaking, Gu Yayue and Zuo Zongtang had also handed over. It was time to go back to their respective houses.
"Mr. Ji, this Yang Lao San is not simple!"
"Isn't that true? But Dongweng doesn't have to worry. It's a blessing to have Yang Laosan in the three towns of Wuhan!"
"Master, how about Mr. Zuo?"
"Awesome! It's scheming and elusive, so beware of him!"
