    Jin Nengheng, the chief executive of Qichang Foreign Company where Chen Zhuping worked, could be considered a business maniac. He had forgotten that he was also a diplomat. Finding gold from this ancient country was his only purpose.  He likes this kind of civil war happening here, and both sides of the civil war will bring benefits to him.  However, he prefers "rebels" in comparison.  Because they are more eager for arms, they can often pay higher prices.  Therefore, he can violate his country's ban on selling guns and ammunition to "rebels" at will, which is a big deal.

    Shi Dakai met Chen Zhuping again. Facing this "old friend", Shi Dakai expressed his gratitude and told the other party pertinently that the Tianjun was willing to accept the arms transaction appropriately under the premise of absolute safety guarantee.  However, for the long-term cooperation between the two parties and for the benefit of the other party, it is still hoped that both parties can do some trade that can easily bypass the Manchu and Qing government.  He handed Chen Zhuping a shopping list and chuckled, "Go back and give it to your senior class. I think he will be very happy."

    Chen Zhuping looked at the thick stack of lists in his hand, his eyes widened, "King Yi Qiansui, is this not true?"

    "How could it not be true?" Shi Dakai laughed, "Go back and calculate the price carefully, but don't be careless. The price I paid Mr. for the foreign gun was at least several times that of Shanghai, because you are bearing the risk at the same time.  , is also helping our heavenly army. However, these things are normal trade between us. Sir, you should know better than me how to do business. Through an interaction, sir, I also saw my integrity. Again, the first  There is no deposit, and the second thing is to seize the time. Good opportunities don¡¯t always come around.¡±

    Chen Zhuping nodded repeatedly, "Don't worry, Chitose, we have instructions from above when we come here. We will definitely collect the goods as soon as possible, and the price will be absolutely fair."

    "This is best. The trading company is not just your family." Shi Dakai nodded, "Besides, we are all Han people, and the Heavenly Army is fighting to expel the Qing captives. Your contribution, sir, will be remembered by future generations forever.  "

    "Yes, yes," Chen Zhuping agreed and thought for a while, "I'm afraid these things will take several months to prepare. Will you still come here then?"

    Shi Dakai laughed heartily, "Sir, you are really forgetful. I remember that when we first met, I said that I will never give up any place occupied by my heavenly army. Opening a business here is no worse than Shanghai.  ah."

    Chen Zhuping smiled sheepishly. Although he was not sure about what the Yi King in front of him said about never giving up. Even the people in the business were skeptical. However, he knew one thing, that is, they all kept their word.  The person who talks.  At least, that's how it looks from a businessman's perspective.

    In mid-November 1853, the rested and expanded Western Expeditionary Army began to move again.  On the right, Hu Yihuang and Zeng Tianyang concentrated the main forces from Jiujiang and Anqing, and used both land and water to advance to Nanchang City again.  On the left, Yiwang Shida launched his own army, which also came out by land and water, and surrounded Yuezhou.

    This time, Nanchang no longer had the same luck as before.  The Heavenly Army blasted two gaps from the north and east of the city at the same time and captured Nanchang in one fell swoop.  Immediately, it began to sweep through Jingde, Raozhou, Fengcheng and other prefectures and counties in northern Jiangxi, shaking the entire Jiangxi.

    Yuezhou is located in the northeast of Hunan, across the Yangtze River to the north and opposite Hubei, occupying an extremely important strategic position.  If you want to hold on to Hunan, you must hold on to Changsha and Yuezhou.  Yuezhou and Changsha rely on each other and cannot be lost.  Similarly, in order to open the door to Hunan, Yuezhou is not only imperative for the Tianjun to win, but also needs to be defeated quickly.

    While the West Road and North Road began to contain the offensive, the troops from the Tianjun South Road and East Road launched a fierce attack on the solid city head of Yuezhou.

    Shi Dakai did not stay at his camp in the south of Yuezhou City, but came to Shi Xiangzhen's army in the east of the city.  He held up the telescope, also known as "clairvoyance."  At the top of the city, the defending soldiers of the Qing army were suppressed by the fierce artillery fire of the Heavenly Army and could not hold their heads up. They took cover behind the walls.  Under the city, a large group of Heavenly Army infantrymen did not wait for their artillery fire to stop, and they could not wait to rush to the city wall, put up more than a dozen ladders, held steel knives in their mouths, and began to rob the city.

    "Why don't you stop the bombardment!" Shi Dakai turned around and shouted at Shi Xiangzhen, "Didn't you see the brothers climbing the city?"

    Shi Xiangzhen did not answer, but stared at the city through the telescope.

    Luo Zenan temporarily stayed in Yuezhou last month when he led two thousand Hunan troops to aid Nanchang and Jiujiang but failed.  This person's name is Zhongyue, his nickname is Meiquan, and he is from Shiniuwanzhou.  He lost his father when he was young. Because his family was poor, he often used rosin as a lamp at night, and even used fluorescent light and chaff fire to study.  He studied in Lianbin, Shuangfeng, Chengnan and other academies.  It can be said that he is well-read in scriptures.  He first made a living by setting up a school and running a school. Because his teaching methods were different from those of ordinary private schools in the countryside, in addition to teaching students how to read and liberate themselves, and prepare for the imperial examinations and enter official careers, he also taught students how to cultivate their minds through meditation, jump over ditches, and practice sports.Good practice.  Lectures in the morning and exercises in the afternoon.  Therefore, students gathered.

    In 1852, Luo Zenan, who was looking for success in every possible way but had nowhere to go, was unwilling to die as a private school teacher. When the Taiping Army entered Hunan, he gave up his writing and joined the army. He gathered some students, confidants, and fellow villagers, founded a regiment training, and devoted himself to  to the strangulation of the Taiping Army.  Finally, he "killed the enemy with merit". Now, in addition to the title of regimental training supervisor, he finally has the title of county magistrate.

    Since he has stepped onto the battlefield, he is not afraid of fighting, and even longs for the shocking opportunity to fight.  Because without the blood and fire on the battlefield, his dream of honoring his ancestors could not be realized.  However, today's fighting finally made him feel terrified.

    Based on his judgment of the situation, he determined that the west and north sides were filled with shaggy feints. Even though the south gate and east gate seemed to have similar military strength, he still concluded that their main attack direction was the south gate.  Not only is there the banner of Coach Changmao, it is also an important place to directly cut off the connection between Changsha and Yuezhou.  To this end, he specially appointed his favorite disciples Li Xubin (of course, what he was proud of was not his academics, but his fierceness and stubbornness) and Li Xuyi brothers to supervise Dabu Xiangyong to guard the south gate, while he brought a group of soldiers to guard the south gate.  The Xiangyong of the camp assisted in the defense of the east gate.

    When the two sides met, Luo Zenan realized that he might have been wrong.  He had never seen this style of play.  The city head was completely controlled by the opponent's intensive artillery fire, and the officers and soldiers who were beaten could not even stand on their feet.  And the large number of long hairs under the city were actually rushing upwards despite their own artillery fire.  He saw with his own eyes that shells would fall on the heads of Changmao's own people from time to time, but the artillery fire continued.  Crazy, simply crazy!

    However, he also discovered the effect of his opponent's actions, that is, someone would soon jump to the top of the city.  He was jealous and desperately wanted to organize people to stop the people who climbed the city, but who else wanted to do this with him?

    The artillery fire finally stopped, and as a few things he didn't know the name of were thrown in from the outside of the wall, and they were nestled under the crenels, still lowering their bodies desperately to try to avoid the long-haired artillery fire, their flesh and blood flew everywhere in the roar.  .  On the crenel, the first long-haired figure he saw appeared in an instant.

    Luo Zenan woke up from the shock of the explosion, yelled, and rushed forward with a knife.  Facing the childish face opposite him, while he tried his best to chop down the knife, he felt a trace of pity in his heart.  so small!

    Unfortunately, things didn¡¯t go as planned.  Luo Zenan's knife was empty, and Tianjun's "baby" dodged cleverly, quickly took off the waist knife in his mouth, stabbed him in the lower abdomen, and then kicked him over without looking anymore.  , and pounced towards the next opponent

    His favorite disciples Li Xubin, Li Xuyi, Wang Xin, Jiang Yili, Liu Penghong, etc. later became famous generals of the Hunan Army who suppressed the Prince's Army.

    In the first year of Xianfeng (1851), Luo Zenan was promoted from Fusheng to be filial, honest and upright.  The following year, the Taiping Army entered Hunan, and Luo Zenan initiated group training in his hometown.

    Jin Nengheng, the chief executive of Qichang Foreign Company where Chen Zhuping works, can be regarded as a business maniac. He has forgotten that he is also a diplomat.
