    "The idea may be good, but if you can't control the shells, you are making a fool of your brothers' lives."

    "Up!" Shi Xiangzhen slowly put down the telescope and looked at the chattering King Yi, "Your Highness, we will do better next time."

    "Next time?" Shi Dakai put away the telescope and glared, "Never allow a second time!"

    "Your Highness, I remember it." Shi Xiangzhen agreed, jumped on the horse, pulled out his sword with a clang, and danced towards the large group of cavalry who were already eager to try, "Brothers, fight with me!"

    Along with the sound of killing, thousands of war horses turned over their hooves, like a rolling torrent, sweeping up smoke and dust that covered the sky and the sun.

    Shi Dakai was really helpless towards his sturdy elder brother. He shook his head and took the reins from his follower Shi Lu.  Yuezhou succeeded, the next step is Changsha.  He rode his horse and walked slowly, thinking about what Lin Haifeng said in the letter, "Secondly, whether we can get Changsha or not, the main purpose is to completely annihilate the Hunan army trained by Zeng Guofan in Hengzhou, especially Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang.  Waiting for someone, you must see the person alive and see the body dead." His mind was racing with everything Lin Haifeng had told him about Zeng Guofan

    Lin Haifeng is currently thinking about things in Yangzhou and Zhenjiang.  After arranging everything at hand, he simply had dinner and then left Tianjing and rushed to Zhenjiang overnight.  This time, he specially brought Li Xiucheng, Li Shixian, and a battalion transferred from the First Red Army.

    Not long after leaving Tianjing, Liu Xianghe kowtowed on his horse.  She was abducted and trafficked since she was a child and was exposed to the effects of being in a brothel, which made her feel a special sense of gratitude to the Celestial Empire who saved her fate.  Especially after coming to King An's side, she was actually placed in an extremely important position from an ordinary maid to become a female official of the Celestial Dynasty.  In addition to the feeling of repaying gratitude, she had another beautiful dream.  She carefully and diligently tried her best to take care of His Highness.

    There are more and more things that His Highness needs to write. From the beginning of dictation, His Highness now has to draft the drafts himself and then ask her to transcribe them.  She finally understood why she was asked to ghostwrite even His Highness's personal letters.  His Highness is a talented person. In her imagination, His Highness' handwriting must be that kind of extremely powerful cursive. It may be a habit to like to speak orally.  Unexpectedly, not to mention that the word "His Royal Highness" was written in a crooked way, there were too many typos, which made her head feel dizzy every day.  The endless "word puzzles" she could write and guess had made it difficult for her to get some unbroken sleep.  However, she has always kept this "secret" between the two of them. Even when Lu Jing met her occasionally and talked about Prince An and Prince Ning in private, she never revealed His Highness's "secret".  She kept it deep in her heart, and every time she thought about it, she would wake up laughing in her sleep.

    The night wind came and started to feel a bit chilly.  Lin Haifeng moved his cloak and turned to look at Liu Xianghe who was following behind him. He smiled slightly and reached out to hold her horse's head, "I said Liu Shangshu, why did he become a kowtowing insect?"

    "No, no." Liu Xianghe opened his eyes in confusion and looked to both sides, "Are you there?"

    "Where?" Lin Haifeng laughed heartily, "I think if you keep walking, you should be on the ground." He jumped off the horse, waved to the carriage following behind, and pointed at Liu Xianghe, "Come down  Come on, get in the carriage. Otherwise it won't delay things."

    "Thenis it filled with zha medicine?" Liu Xianghe got off his horse and muttered.

    "Oh, it's all my fault, why didn't you think of setting up a sedan for Liu Shangshu to come out?" Lin Haifeng teased, "Go ahead, I'm not afraid of the driver or the brothers escorting the carriage, so what are you afraid of?"

    "Who said I'm scared? I'm just" Liu Xianghe grumbled and climbed into the carriage.

    "Well, it's better like this." Lin Haifeng got on his mount, took off his cloak and threw it into Liu Xianghe's arms, "Cover it with it, be careful not to catch cold if you fall asleep."

    "Your Highness, I have it myself." Liu Xianghe knelt down and shouted anxiously, holding up his cloak.

    "Just use yours as a cushion, it's just right." Lin Haifeng chuckled and rode forward.

    Liu Xianghe held the cloak in his arms and was stunned for a while.  She lay on the oilcloth covered with zha medicine and gently covered His Highness's cloak. The words that Queen Lai and Sister Xuanjiao had said to her seemed to be ringing in her ears

    "Your Highness," Li Xiucheng looked at Prince An who was next to him with a contented face, and asked with a smile, "The Qingyao Jiangbei Camp under Yangzhou City has about 70,000 to 80,000 people. If we mobilize the army around Tianjing, and then mobilize  It shouldn't be a problem for King Yi's Western Expedition Army to destroy this Jiangbei camp. Why keep it?"

    Lin Haifeng chuckled, "The current focus of the Western Expedition is on Hunan and Jiangxi.??It still needs to be consolidated and there is no time to look back.  Since Lai Wenguang in Luzhou has already contacted the Nian Army in northern Anhui, our power in northern Anhui will also further expand. Qishan's troops in Yangzhou are bound to be dispersed to deal with the current situation.  The pressure on Yangzhou and Zhenjiang will also be reduced.  Therefore, the next step is to focus on the eastward expedition to pacify Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so that Tianjing can completely get rid of the threat from the south and strive for a large development space.  Looking back, we are dealing with the Jiangbei camp.  After all, our heavenly army still has a limited number of capable soldiers, and we can no longer do the kind of thing where we miss and then fight again after we lose.  "

    "There are foreign forces in Shanghai. Since we are marching eastward, they may not sit idly by." Li Xiucheng nodded, thought for a moment and then said, "Your Highness, the Westerners believe in similar doctrines to us. Is it possible to convince them?  Join us? Or stay neutral?"

    Lin Haifeng raised his hand and said, "The reason why they came to our country is driven by interests. In our country, they will not get some things from the Manchu and Qing government, so in order to protect these vested interests, they will not  They will just sit back and watch. The best way to deal with them is to show your own power. When they are afraid of you, they will bow their heads, otherwise it is just empty talk. In fact, foreigners are not terrible. Foreign guns and cannons are more powerful than swords and spears.  Sharp. However, the key to determining the outcome of a war is people, not weapons. From the Jintian Uprising to the present, the Heavenly Army started from scratch, but the weapons of the Qing Army, which were more sophisticated than the Heavenly Army, fell into disgrace. Isn't this the best example? Manchu Qing Dynasty  We have repeatedly lost to foreigners. On the surface, we lost in terms of weapons, but the key lies with the government. We in China have tens of millions of compatriots. If we could work together with one heart and one mind, how could there be so many unequal treaties?  .¡±

    He looked at Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian who had just approached, and smiled again, "Of course, strategically, we must despise the enemy, but tactically, we must still pay attention to the enemy. We must use our own strengths to overcome the other's weaknesses."

    Li Shixian sighed with some regret, "If the Heavenly Army could be equipped like the teaching brigade, the bullshit Jiangbei Camp and the foreign-haired devils wouldn't be a problem!"

    "Yes," Lin Haifeng nodded, "As long as we try our best, I think it will be like this in the near future. However, it is not possible right now. This time you will all become the princes of a town and stand alone. Yes.  Many people are jealous of the appointment of you two, and gossip will be inevitable in the future. You are both from the teaching brigade, so you must carry forward the good ideas of the Red Army, and don't let down the expectations of the Celestial Empire for you!"
