Seeing Feng Yunshan walking out of the room calmly with his feet calmly, Yi Zhizu nodded slightly, not surprised when he encountered changes, and was calm and composed. This calmness alone was not something that ordinary people could have. He was worthy of being the Southern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If he could convince him, it would be a great help to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Lin Meilian walked to the door and turned around and said, "Sir, Prince Hui is here, and his subordinates lied that the Sir is discussing military affairs."

"Let him come in." Yi Zhizu said slowly and walked to the window to open the window. A cold wind immediately rushed towards him. He was also excited and turned around and knocked out the cigarette butt. He pulled open the curtain on the wall to reveal the large Qing Dynasty map hanging. There were many arrows and circles marked with red and blue pencils on the map.

Mian Yu came in and saw Yi Zhizu standing in front of the large map and dazzled. He walked straight over, "Guocheng is moving so fast, has the troops sent?"

"With the telegram, I feel that I can really plan and win a thousand miles away." Yi Zhizu said and turned around, "Can the court agree to delegate power to the local governor?"

"The Guocheng is too anxious, right?" Mian Yu walked to the map and chuckled, "The yamen has not been opened yet. It is not a trivial matter to delegate power to the local governor and governor. It must be negotiated by the court."

"Crime discussion?" Yi Zhizu glanced at him. In his opinion, court discussion was just a shirk! Once a court discussion was held, it would be difficult to decide what happened in a few months. The gang of officials in the court had no other skills, but they were a good player when they said that they were prone to blame.

Mian Yu certainly knew what was going on in the court discussion, and immediately smiled and said, "Don't worry, Guocheng, the emperor is also eager to quell the rebellion and will not delay." As he said, he quickly changed the subject and pointed to the map and said, "Gucheng has already decided on a plan to send troops to suppress the army?"

"Compared with the Taiping Army, the Nian Army is better at wandering, and the strength of the Nian Army is far inferior to that of the Taiping Army. I plan to be easy first and then difficult." Yi Zhizu said, turning around and taking a stick and pointing on the map: "The Nian Army is now divided into three parts. The troops of Zhang Shi, Tao Dashan, Dunsan, Jiang Tailing, Cheng Dawei, Liu Tianfu, Liu Xingyi, etc. are active in the 22 counties of the five prefectures and 22 counties in Shandong Province. The thirteen Nians are combined into one Nian, with troops ranging from 40,000 to 50,000.

For the Shandong Nian Army, I have added 30,000 troops to the front line of Xuzhou to Jining. In addition, I mobilized 10,000 troops to the Japanese fleet in Lushun to garrison Yizhou. To the north, the Beiyang Navy mobilized 5,000 troops to Jinan and advance from three sides.

Active in northern Anhui, the Nian Army, which Zhang Le, acted as the head of the Nian Army, was controlled in the south to Yingshang, Huoqiu, Xiaoshan, Dang County, Jiangsu in the north, Huaiyuan in the east, and Guide Prefecture in Henan in the west, with a force of about 50,000 to 60,000. For this Nian Army, I have increased 40,000 troops from all sides and steadily advanced.

The last one is Zhang Zongyu and Lai Guang's troops active in Hanzhong, Shaanxi and Shangnan. It is worth noting that Lai Guang is a general of the Taiping Army. The Nian Army has few troops and only 20,000 to 30,000, but it is flexible and is in the mountainous area. Yan Yangtian led 30,000 troops to encircle and suppress, and failed to fight for a long time."

The Nian Army has always been encircling and suppressing the Yangtze River Navy. It is reasonable that Yi Zhizu has such a detailed grasp of the situation of the Nian Army. What surprised Mian Yu was that the scale of the Nian Army was so large, and the Taiping Army also had a faint tendency to merge with the Nian Army. After pondering for a moment, he said: "Is Guocheng planning to encircle and suppress the two Nian Army in Shandong, northern Anhui, western Shandong, and northern Jiangsu?"

"Not bad." Yi Zhizu said: "In my opinion, there is still a difference between the Nian Army and the Taiping Army. For these two Nian Army, it should be equally important to suppress and pacify. When it comes to pacification, the court has no money, but it can give policies."

"What policy?" Mian Yu felt a vague feeling of badness, and as soon as he said it, he realized, "Immigration?"

"Yes!" Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "As long as there is a way out, no ordinary people are willing to rebel. Immigrate to Southeast Asia, immigrate to the northwest, and immigrate to the northeast. Shandong people have always liked to break through Guandong. If the court does not take the initiative to ban the Northeast, Yuan Qi will not mind organizing Shandong people to immigrate to Heilongjiang by sea."

He asked to lift the Northeast ban and handed it over it as if the stones were sinking into the sea without any reaction. Yi Zhizu was naturally unhappy. He seized the opportunity to encircle and suppress the Shandong Nian Army. He once again suggested that he did not believe the court but still did not respond.

The people of Shandong have always been mainly engaged in the people of Shandong. Mianyu is very clear about this. He also knew that the court would never tolerate Yuan Qi organizing Shandong people to immigrate to Heilongjiang by sea. He immediately said with ease: "Don't worry, Guocheng, I will pay attention to this matter."

Yi Zhizu looked at him, pointed to the map and continued: "As for the Taiping Army, it also adopted the strategy of division, surround and extermination. He first sent troops to Guilin to separate Guangxi and Hunan provinces. The troops gathered in Wuchang, Jiangxi to contain southern Hunan. The Taiping Army had weak troops in Guangxi. First, he recovered Guangxi, waited to pacify the Nian Army, recover Guangxi, and then mobilized all forces to encircle Hunan on all sides."

"Where is the northwest?" Mian Yu said keenly: "Didn't Guocheng say that troops will be drawn into the northwest before this winter?"

Yi Zhizu put down his stick, reached out to give up his seat, and then said: "It takes two to three years to advance westward, otherwise the food in the northwest will probably not be able to keep up." Speaking of this, he paused, lit a cigarette before continuing: "The green camps in Anhui and Jiangsu provinces should cooperate to encircle and suppress the Nian Army of Zhang Lexing's troops in northern Anhui and northern Jiangsu, while the green camps in Jiangxi should assist in restraining the Taiping Army in southern Hunan.

It would be fine if the Anhui Admiral was appointed by the governor. When will the admirals in Jiangsu and Jiangxi be replaced?”

Mian Yu smiled and said, "Isn't this a seal yet?"

"Stop talking about the yamen. How much does a one-day cost for a tens of thousands of troops? Do you not want the court to pay the money?" Yi Zhizu said coldly: "Do you want me to ask for money from the court? Or let me leave me alone? Tomorrow, there will be no electricity before dark tomorrow, let's break up!"

After hearing this, Mian You felt something was wrong and she felt something was wrong. It was not a big deal to switch to the admirals of the two provinces, but a telegram. What made him feel was Yi contented. This was obviously a threat to the court! He threatened to be the son of today!

He suddenly realized that the General Pingko was very likely to be unpleasant from both sides, but when he thought of it, he had to smile on his face, "Brother Guocheng is not in a hurry, I will send a telegram right away."

Standing up, he asked again: "Brother Guocheng thinks it is appropriate to explicitly entrust Taiping Army and Nian Army?"

"It's OK at any time." Yi Jingzuo said carelessly. Now the telegrams convey information quickly, and such a large-scale mobilization of troops cannot be concealed by those who are interested.

After considering it, Mian Yu said: "Guocheng ranks first in the counselor, how about it?"

"There is no need for this." Yi Zhizu smiled and said, "The Monk King is the prince, so let him rank first. In addition, please list several governors as counselors and ministers."

At noon the next day, Yi Zhizu received several telegrams from the Military Affairs Office: Prince Hui Mian Yujing, the general of Kou, and the military affairs of the fifteen provinces of Huguang, Liangjiang, Fujian and Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, Yunnan and Guizhou, Sichuan, Shandong, Henan, and Shaanxi to quell the Hongyang Rebellion and the Jianghuai Rebellion, and to Senggelinqin, Yi Zhizu, Guiliang, Qishan, Jiang Zhongyuan, Yi Liang and others as counselors.

He moved Cai Zhengfan, the governor of Jiangxi, and Wu Song general Wu Yundong as the governor of Jiangsu, and Huang Shutong, the general of Kinmen general Huang Shutong as the governor of Jiangxi.

Soon, Mianyu rushed over. As soon as he entered the door, he smiled relaxedly and said, "Brother Guocheng has seen the telegram."

"Congratulations to the prince." Yi Zhizu bowed and smiled: "The general who controls the military and political affairs of the fifteen provinces has never been in the 200th century since the founding of the Qing Dynasty. It is unique."

Mian Yu knew that he was a general who was powerful in the court on the surface, but in fact he was just a decoration. The real power was Yi Zhizu, the counselor who ranked second in front of him. He immediately waved his hand and smiled: "What is unique and unique? Brother Guocheng is more sympathetic, so I will be grateful."

"Why would you make things difficult for the prince?" Yi Zhizu chuckled and said, then he reached out to give in. He was in a good mood today. Now, except for the governor of Liangjiang Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang, was not recommended by him. The governors of Jiangsu, Anhui and Jiangxi are all his people, and Yiliang is still old friends and has close relationships. In addition, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang are also his people. If you find an opportunity to replace the governor of Zhejiang, Guangdong and Guangxi, and he, the king of Southeast, will be worthy of his name.

After sitting down, Mian Yu said: "I heard that Shanghai has significantly reduced passenger trains?"

"No," Yi Zhizuji said first: "The trains must free up to transport troops, grain and arms." As he said that, he asked back: "Your Majesty is going back to Beijing?"

"The emperor's telegram, and I will return to the capital immediately." Mianyu said and said, "I, a general who is unique in controlling the military and political affairs of the fifteen provinces, should have a good start."

"Tomorrow, a carriage will be arranged for the prince." Yi Zhizu said: "I have people prepared the plan for the Northeast to open bans, delegate power and governors, and quell the chaos. In addition, the matter of Taiwan's establishment of a province is also booming."

"Woo" A train with rolling smoke was galloping on the ground in northern Jiangsu. In a specially customized carriage, Lin Meilian, wearing a female tweed military uniform, looked at the pastoral areas that were quickly retreating outside the car window, and said softly: "February 2nd, the dragon raised its head and March 3rd, and gave birth to Xuanyuan. Sister Bai Zhi, is it March 3rd today, right?"

Bai Zhi was dressed as a man, wearing a light gray long gown and a melon-skin hat. Hearing the words, he said, "Sister Lian wants to go out for spring in the countryside?"

March 3 is Shangsi Festival, which is a festival for banquets by the water and spring outings in the suburbs. In previous years, women in the public mansion would definitely go out together. Lin Meilian smiled and said, "I'm wondering where the sisters in Shanghai will go to today."

After hearing this, Bai Zhi smiled slightly. She had followed Yi Zhenren to travel around the world since she was a child and never cared about March 3. However, since she followed Yi Zhizu, she was much more restrained and she was unwilling to go out for a while. This time she came to Jiangsu, but Jin Ying forced her to come.

"What March 3?" Jin Ying opened her eyes in a daze, looked out the window, and muttered, "Why haven't you arrived yet, when will you arrive in Xuzhou?"

Lin Meilian took out her pocket watch and looked at it, saying, "It's almost done in two quarters of an hour."

Hearing this, Jin Ying was excited, glanced around and said, "Where is the big shopkeeper?"

"I'm still sleeping." Lin Meilian said, getting up and said, "I'll call him."

After Lin Meilian left, Bai Zhi said lightly: "Xuzhou has not been here, why do you want to come to Xuzhou for no reason?"

"I also thought that my senior sister would never ask." Jin Ying blinked slyly, "The shopkeeper said that this trip to Xuzhou may be useful."

After thinking for a moment, Bai Zhi said softly: "Recruitment?"

"The shopkeeper didn't say it, but I guess it should be." Jin Ying nodded slightly. Others were not very clear about the details of the Nian Army, but their sisters knew that most of the Nianzi in northern Anhui, western Shandong, and eastern Henan had a close relationship with the White Lotus Sect. It can even be said that most of the Nianzi are remnants of the White Lotus Sect, because the rural areas in that area were the world of the White Lotus Sect before.

At Xuzhou Railway Station, Yan Yangtian and Yin Youcai led a group of regiment-level officers to wait on the platform. Both of them were not sure why Yi Zhizu came to Xuzhou at this time. At present, they had already divided and surrounded the two Nian Army, Shandong and Anhui and Henan, and the encirclement was like an iron barrel, and they did not leave any chance to break through at all. Could it be that the situation had changed again?

"Woo" With a long whistle, the train slowly stopped entering the station. As soon as the door opened, Yi Zhizu, wearing a well-equipped military uniform, walked slowly to the platform. Yan Yangtian and Yin Youcai quickly led the officers to come forward and salute, and said in unison: "Student Yan Yangtian, Yin Youcai and others have met the principal."

Yi Zhizu raised his hand and returned the favor, and smiled and said, "Go to the military camp, don't delay them from unloading the truck."

The camp was not far from the railway station, but two miles away, a group of officers rode their horses and entered the camp quickly. Yi Zhizu glanced at the tent of the central army, and saw that two maps had been set up in the tent. He couldn't help but smiled, glanced at Yan Yangtian, Yin Youcai and the others who followed in, and said, "It's rainy season now, what do you think?"

"Return to the principal." Yan Yangtian said without hesitation: "The rainy season is not conducive to our combat, nor is it conducive to the Nian Army's escape. Students secretly think that the focus of encirclement and suppression of the Nian Army is on training, and we should take advantage of the rainy season to narrow the encirclement."

"It's good." Yi Zhizuji said: "Most of the new recruits recruited in the past two years have never seen blood or experienced actual combat. Many grassroots officers are also new recruits. The reunion of the Nian Army and the Taiping Army is a big training and practical training!"

Yin Youcai hesitated for a moment before saying, "Principal, it's not that time is urgent?"

Yi Zhizu smiled, "Time is not urgent. Although the Russian-Turkish war has broken out, it is far from the time when the northwest sends troops. At least two years will be available to calmly encircle and suppress the Nian Army and the Taiping Army." As he said that, he paused, "Do you have any ideas?"

After hesitating, Yin Youcai said, "Principal, it's spring wasteland now. It's probably inappropriate to launch a large-scale attack."
