"The Han family holds blades like frost and snow, and the enemy cavalry has nowhere to escape. The head and the arrows accompany the ridges and soil, and blood splatters the soldiers' corpses through the battle jacket."

"Dunhuang Ci Ziqu"

——I am the dividing line—

In the palace of the Qi Palace in Yidu City, Qingzhou, the governor of the Pinglu Jiedu, Wang Jingwu, who had just been ill, had a haggard and weak face, lying in the arms of his concubines. He slowly drank the ginseng soup with stone honey and listened to the routine reports of his subordinates outside the curtain.

He was very angry at the beginning of the story of Wang Shifan's boldness, but he would not punish and hold him accountable for his only adult son and heir for justice; but he could only severely execute those close friends who were stolen and instigated him afterwards, and put his punitive foot and house arrest.

Then, afterwards, he was tortured and found out that he had a close relationship with Prime Minister Wang Duo, Cui Anqian and others, and secretly went to Zhang Jun, the judge of the court in the court; but this time, someone also informed the judge Zhang Jun, and fled and disappeared.

But Wang Jingwu could no longer continue to investigate. However, the consequences that had been caused were to be borne by him, the leader of the Pinglu Army (Qingzi Town). After all, Wang Shifan was his biological son, and the one who came forward to take action was his direct yamen.

Therefore, in the following days, the most intuitive change was that there was no more sea boat that could dock in the coastal port city of Qingzi Town; it was as if it had completely disappeared in a short period of time. The naval warships with the Taiping Qing Banner also sailed into Sishui in a disguised manner, separating the newly occupied Haizhou of Pinglu Army into two halves in the north and south.

But these external abnormal movements were just the beginning. After the sale of alkaline soil, dyes and medicinal materials and other businesses were interrupted, there were also objections and doubts within the Pinglu Army; after all, before that, even without the input of these things, everyone could survive.

But as the saying goes, the basic principle of "from extravagance to simplicity" is that after enjoying the benefits of selling these products, and at the same time, it is not so easy to give up after importing rich commodities such as sugar, wine, tea, cotton cloth, canned food from the south; in fact, most people have become accustomed to using these things as rewards to win over the morale of the army.

Fortunately, the Taining Army (Yanhai Town) and Wuning Army (Xusi Town), who had previously sought alliances, all sent a large number of money and litters one after another; this was the restlessness of the general's family and ordinary soldiers. However, he was a little confused on the stance of whether he really wanted to be directly hostile to the Taiping Army.

Although there is no need to show weakness in the openly, he has tried to re-connect with the other party in private, such as retrieving the "Sei Junwei" who had served in Pinglu Army to discuss an agreement that both parties can accept.

In his opinion, it was just the life and death of dozens of lowly people. With appropriate compensation and subsequent benefits, it could be dealt with. However, the other party also disappeared without a trace; while the local sea ships in Qingzi Town disappeared after one went to sea; if one went to sea, no one fell swoop.

As for the local naval forces in Qingzi Town, it is actually a bit inconsistent with the reputation of being the strongest in the three towns on Huai Shang. Whether it is Dongmu Shouzha (Pinghai Army) located in Penglai Port, Dengzhou, or Donglai Shouzha (Tuanjie Camp) located in Banqiao Town, Laizhou, they cannot compete with the Taiping warships roaming near the sea;

In this way, he could use the Wuning Army as the echo of the junction and the exhausted Tianping Army and the Dongdu Army, which had been fighting for a long time, and then he used the Dizhou to cross the frozen Yellow River and seize the Cang and Jingge states occupied by the Yan army in Hebei, thinking that it would support Zheng Hanqing, the former governor of the Henghai Army, as a sign to strengthen his territory and population.

In this way, even if the Taiping Army really swallows the world and advances to the Central Plains in the future, relying on this huge territory and a hundred thousand people, it is possible to negotiate and compete with it. As a bargaining chip and price for advancing and retreating, it will be a plan for generations in the new dynasty, just like the Zhu family of the Dongdu Army and the Cao family of the Tianping Army.

Of course, this kind of deep-seated planning and planning cannot be known, otherwise it will be spread by someone who is interested and his position as a handsome man will not be safe. Therefore, after every time he stays with him, he will test his concubine with a good look, whether he has spoken in a sleep and then deal with it with it.

Thinking of this, he suddenly stretched out his concubine's body and spoke to the outside world:

"Since that's the case, let Erlang (Wang Shifan) come out to serve..."

Compared with the youngest son monk who died prematurely and his younger brothers, Wang Shifan, as Chu Shuai's second son, is different from other vassal yamen. He likes literature and makes friends with scholars for his elegance. Qingzhou (Langya County) has always been a place with a strong literary style. Now it seems that Wang Shifan is also influenced by him, and he thinks he is following Ban Dingyuan's actions.

Since Wang Jingwu decided to show his strength and determination to the Taiping Army, it doesn't matter how small punishment and commandment he is. Anyway, he wants to live longer and has several sons to live his life. Then maybe this second son, who is a bit overcorrect, is supported on the front desk and thinks he is acting according to the opportunity.

However, not long after, in Dizhou (now south of Yangxin, Shandong), in the frozen banks of the Yellow River outside the prefecture, Solomeng, one of the representatives of the Taiping Army's foreign affairs, was also welcomed by the bitter cold wind exposed on all sides, and a group of visitors with helmets and armor.

The leader's general was thick and dark in his hands and feet, and was covered with wind and frost that was far beyond his real age. However, he was the local governor of Dizhou and the commander of the river patrol. He saw him throwing his escort behind him and alone in this broken shed, and said seriously to Solomeng with a melancholy expression:

"The news has been heard from Yidu that Chu Shuai (Wang Shifan) has returned and has been appointed as the deputy envoy of the Jiedushi, and is in the internal and external affairs of the General Administration. But I don't know what you plan to do next."

"Since Wang Zhenshuai plans to fight against the enemy, what is important now is not what our Taiping Army is, but what is the plan for the future in the next situation. What step can your Zhang Mingfu do for it?"

Solomon, dressed in a civilized clothes, said calmly:
Chapter completed!
