Du Jinchan is riding in a carefully maintained single-column carriage. Although it is a bit old, the axles have been freshly oiled and the entire vehicle has been washed. These two extraordinary women are famous in the land of Huaihe and Huaihe. Now I am sitting in the car, opening half of the car curtain and looking at the February spring in Jiangnan.
This is the most beautiful season. Fortunately, it rained all night yesterday. The spring in February makes the willows by the river a little more green. What makes Du Jinchan even more happy is this flat avenue. This was last year. The recently repaired road was made smooth with gravel, slag and cinders, and the carriage was surprisingly smooth when walking on it.
As long as you see the busy railway construction site a few hundred meters away, you can understand why the villages and towns along the line are willing to put so much effort into building such a high-standard road along the railway line, but Du Jinchan didn't think so much at all, she He just said to Liu Sanniang: "When will we have such a road in Pheasant River Ji?"
When she thought of the roads in her hometown where half of her feet would sink into the mud when it rained, Liu Sanniang was a little unoptimistic, but she said with a smile: "This is just a matter of your Majesty's words!"
Du Jinchan said seriously: "Your Majesty now leaves the cabinet to handle such trivial matters. Even if I am willing to turn a deaf ear, Your Majesty will not open your mouth for such a trivial matter."
Speaking of the cabinet that was getting stronger now, Liu Sanniang just bit her lip: "Your Majesty also trusts Hu Linyi too much as a surrender. Now Hu Linyi is just a new surrender, that's it. If he becomes a feudal lord, it will be difficult to handle." ¡¡±
Du Jinchan was open-minded: "This is all your Majesty's concern. When we go back this time, we have to appease the people of Huaibei. I heard that Li Zhaoshou has done something wrong again!"
Liu Sanniang knew the inside story of this matter better than she did: "Li Zhaoshou didn't claim to have tens of thousands of people. When he was first adopted, he was originally used, but he came to your majesty. Your majesty and others were all right, but Li Zhaoshou was stuck. Zhaoshou was alone, and he was even approved with a sentence: "This person cannot be reused." When the final arrangements were made, there was no place to make arrangements."
Now, in addition to the two cavalry regiments, three infantry regiments and four ** infantry battalions that have been incorporated into the regular army, most of the Nianzi in Huaibei have either been demobilized on the spot or used as garrison troops. The war wiped out a large number of people, so the remaining troops of Nianzi were organized into a special "Huanghuai Construction Corps".
What kind of army is this "Huanghuai Construction Corps"? What level it is, except for Liu Chang himself and some top officials, no one else knows clearly. They only know that the "Huanghuai Construction Corps" is surprisingly large, with a total of fourteen regiments and five * * Camps are dotted throughout Huaibei and the newly formed Yellow Flood Area.
The number one figure in the "Huanghuai Construction Corps" is Du Jinchan, who has stayed in Hangzhou all year round. In addition, Liu Sanniang can also be half a family. Now Liu Sanniang is looking at the spring breeze blowing outside the car, her mood is also swaying: "Jin Chan, you have to work hard. When I leave this time, Your Majesty is here. You have been galloping for many times, but you have to bear fruit, right? Even if it is a princess!"
"Sister-in-law!" Du Jinchan said angrily: "Your Majesty, how can you spare any effort on your behalf? You feel pity for us to go back this time, it will take at least a few months, so we specially say goodbye for a while, but this time Whether it works or not, it¡¯s not up to me to decide!¡±
Just thinking about those ridiculous days, her face turned red. Suddenly she heard a horse running towards her, and the knight on the horse stopped quickly: "Ms. Du, do you want to take a rest?"
"If you don't rest, you can get on the paddle steamer directly when you arrive in Huzhou!" Du Jinchan is very taboo about contact with men outside. You must know that it will take at least half a year for her to leave the palace this time. She is most afraid of any rumors: " Just help me pay more attention!"
This time, in addition to a guard platoon transferred from the Zhejiang Provincial Military Region to escort her and Liu Sanniang out of the palace, there was also a guard squad composed of Guangxi female soldiers from the Taiping Army. They were crowded on the carriages in front and behind, and there were two She knew how to ride and simply stared at both sides of the carriage, but they were responsible for monitoring her and Liu Sanniang. These women used to be fanatical believers in the God-worshipping religion and acted as shield soldiers to fight the Qing army in person, but now they have become The female internal guards of the Xia Kingdom never gave up their attempts to monitor Du Jin and Liu Sanniang. Du Jinchan felt that she didn't even have any sexual desire.
But she also knew that this was the path she had chosen. Ever since she gave up that sword, there was no turning back.
Now the dagger that was used to protect her chastity is hanging on her waist, but now this one-foot-long dagger has a special meaning. It is the relationship between hundreds of thousands or even millions of old Nian troops in Huaibei. As soon as this dagger is drawn, thousands or even tens of thousands of "Huanghuai Construction Corps" members will be mobilized.veteran.
Du Jinchan glanced at this magical dagger with her eyes, and Liu Sanniang chuckled. Did she know that this dagger could be used in other ways: "Miss him?"
¡°I don¡¯t want to go back!¡±
Jiangnan is good and Jiangnan is happy. Even in the deep palace, she is willing to stay in Jiangnan and is unwilling to return to Zhiheji. This represents many broken pasts: "I don't understand how a mere Li Zhaoshou could cause such a situation." Big waves are coming!¡±
Li Zhaoshou was not a local leader in Huaibei. He was a leader in the border area between Anhui and Henan. He was born in poverty. His history included both the uprising and the surrender to the Qing Dynasty. But overall, he led The public of Li Zhaoshou is not particularly large, and in the last round of adaptation, since Liu Chang personally approved "this person cannot be reused", neither Feng Sixian nor anyone else dared to reuse Li Zhaoshou, and only arranged it afterwards Just a deputy battalion commander.
Li Zhaoshou felt that even a battalion commander of the regular army could not accept it, let alone an existence like the "Huanghuai Construction Corps" that was both a soldier and a civilian, so he took a hundred of his cronies away, including the adapted Nian Army. There have been several firefights.
But that¡¯s all Du Jinchan knew about Li Zhaoshou. She didn¡¯t understand why Liu Chang wanted her and Liu Sanniang to return to Huaibei with great fanfare.
Liu Sanniang's mobility was much better than that of Du Jinchan. She quickly told the story: "Li Zhaoshou only has 800 people around him, but recently the intelligence department has obtained some information. We will work together soon." The Russians are taking over, but some people are restless and ready to make a fuss!"
"Lao Nianzi?" Du Jinchan already understood: "Who is it?"
Except for the more elite troops of the old Nian Army who were transferred to the Henan battlefield after several months of reorganization, most of the rest were demobilized on the spot. However, more than 10,000 of the more elite troops were retained to form the "Huanghuai Construction Corps". However, only a mere 10,000 people and their families were left in the 200,000 to 300,000 yuan. Naturally, there were many disputes during the reorganization, and many people were frustrated.
"I don't know!" Liu Sanniang replied: "But without the connivance of some people, how could Li Zhaoshou have been active until now?"
"Well!" Du Jinchan had already understood: "Then after we arrive in Hefei, we will obey Feng Sixian in everything. We will do whatever he tells us to do"
"I'm afraid that besides us Nianzi, all kinds of ghosts and snakes will jump out!" Liu Sanniang said from the bottom of her heart. Although Huaibei was in a mess due to several years of Nianzi chaos, she has her old team near Fengyang. Last time When adapting, she used all means to organize her own team into a half-team. Other teams could not be trusted, but this team could be trusted.
What's more, what if all the old Nianzi in Lianghuai rebelled? Zhang Lexing's two or three hundred thousand Nian soldiers had no way to defeat the Hong Army, not to mention the remnants of the Nian Army who are now seriously injured. Not to mention, according to Liu Sanniang's understanding , the Huanghuai Construction Corps, the most important garrison unit in the old Nian Army, has no problems.
Du Jinchan also understood: "Sanniang, do you mean outside Huaibei?"
"That's right the Russians are also very attentive!" Liu Sanniang said: "I heard that a Qingyao general recently ran to join them, and they also sent many people south!"
Henan, Shandong, and Hebei are the areas where traditional Chinese secret societies are most prevalent. The Boxer Rebellion's subsequent spread in Shandong and Hebei naturally has its social foundation. Now, although the Hong Army has generally pacified these areas, there is an undercurrent lurking. .
In the early days of any dynasty in China, these underground sects took the opportunity to stir up trouble and stir up countless waves, not to mention the most legendary Bagua system in North China. This system was the key target of the Qing government throughout the Qing Dynasty. This triggered several large-scale civil uprisings. The Wang Lun Qingshui Sect uprising in Shandong and the Tianli Sect uprising in the 18th year of Jiaqing were all variants of this Bagua sect.
When Du Jinchan and Liu Sanniang said this, they understood: "Well, when we arrive in Hefei, we will obey Feng Sixian and Governor Feng in everything."
Although she is in Hangzhou, she knows the situation of the old Nian Army very well. Now the entire Nianzi has been completely divided. Although the chaos has settled, there are still signs of chaos in many places in Huaibei. However, after a long battle, Li Zhaoshou No matter how much we advocate, we may not be able to attract many old Nian Army troops.
As long as you arrive in Huaibei, say a few nice words, and fight for the interests of the old Nian Army, everything will be no problem.
Such thoughts continued until outside Hefei. She was still thinking about how to fight for Lao Nianzi's interests. At least Feng Sixian had to take care of the tens of thousands of orphans caused by the war, right?
But before the boat could reach a stable position, Feng Sixian ran over with murderous intent: "Niang Niang Du, Niang Niang Liu,??Waiting for you to come, Li Zhaoshou and Miao Peilin turned against each other!" rv!~!
