Qiao Zhiqing stood up, walked out of the military tent with his back to breathe, and was silent.Hong Renji cautiously followed behind him, staring at the mighty soldiers in the training ground.Yesterday they were still weak Taiping Army, but now it has only taken two months, but their momentum is not the same, and they are completely a tiger and wolf army."
Brother Renji, you've been idle here for two months, come and help me."
Qiao Zhiqing still looked straight ahead, and a sentence came out of his mouth lightly, just like talking to an old friend.Hong Renji was stunned for a moment, and only after a while did he react, and knelt down with Qiao Zhiqing with his fists, and said with a resolute face, "My subordinates take orders." ”"Okay, come to the government tomorrow to find me, I have something important to announce to you."
Qiao Zhiqing laughed loudly on his back, went straight out of the barracks, and sent heralds to gather all the generals of the Qingzi Army back.On the second day, the guest hall of the government was crowded, and the commanders of all divisions of the Qingzi Army were present except for Wang Shijie.Except for Hong Renji, all the generals were excited, and everyone knew in their hearts that Qiao Zhiqing was preparing to expand the army.After Qiao Zhiqing entered the house from the main entrance, the generals hurriedly quieted down, and after Qiao Zhiqing sat down on the handsome seat, all the generals saluted a standard military salute and yelled, "Good handsome." ”"Okay, well, sit down, and see how happy you all are."
Qiao Zhiqing chuckled lightly and waved his hand to make all the generals sit down."
I think you have probably guessed the content of today's meeting, and I will make a long story short, and I will explain to you the expansion of the army today."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled and looked around at the generals, paused slightly, picked up the tea bowl on the table and moistened his throat."
Dashuai, just say it quickly, I, Wang Shumao, am waiting for this day."
Wang Shumao was in charge of the training of soldiers, and looking at this group of sturdy recruits, he had long been itching in his heart to include them in his army as soon as possible.The generals all chuckled, and their faces were full of anticipation.Qiao Zhiqing shook his head with a smile, and added unhurriedly, "The Taiping army that surrendered the Qingzi Army from Nanjing City this time has a total of 280,000 soldiers, and after eliminating the old, weak, sick and disabled, there are still 210,000 left.Every division has a part in the object of this expansion, except for our young and handsome division commander Wang Shijie. ”The generals laughed, all breathed a sigh of relief, and continued to listen to Qiao Zhiqing's orders."
Since the founding of the Qing Army, it has always followed the principle of the establishment of the three-three system, and this expansion of the army is no exception, and each of the original division headquarters will also be expanded by two more division headquarters to establish a corps-level unit."
Qiao Zhiqing paused slightly, and all the generals were about to jump up excitedly.The two divisions, that is, nearly 30,000 men, suddenly increased by as much as three times."
The commander then gave you the list of the additional divisions and headquarters, and let the soldiers distribute it to you, and you should send people to the military camp in the south of the city to receive the people as soon as possible.After the recruits return to the team, we must step up the training and integration as soon as possible, and we don't have much time. ”Qiao Zhiqing finally admonished, and stood up as he spoke."
Obey the commander's orders."
All the generals stood up with serious expressions, and after seeing Qiao Zhiqing away, they all got up excitedly to congratulate each other.Qiao Zhiqing glanced at Hong Renji when he went out, Hong Renji also followed out of the room, and followed behind Qiao Zhiqing with some loss, just now I thought that Qiao Zhiqing was going to appoint him as the military commander, but I didn't expect that he had nothing to do after announcing the results.After the two entered the study one after another, Qiao Zhiqing beckoned Hong Renji to sit down on the couch, made him a pot of hot tea, and filled a cup for both of them."
Brother Renji, drink some tea to relieve the heat, this summer has just arrived, and the weather is unbearable."
Qiao Zhiqing opened the fan with a smile and exhaled it, there is no air conditioning in this era, and it is really not easy to spend a sultry summer."
Xie Dashuai."
Hong Renji took a sip of the tea bowl with a bitter face, not knowing what Qiao Zhiqing had for him."
Brother Renji, when this official has nothing to do on weekdays, I have also read the new chapter of senior administration that you discussed, which is very much in line with my official's heart.Your ideal of governance has not been completed in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and this official hopes that it will blossom in Suzhou and eventually spread throughout the country. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled and paused slightly, and rummaged on the desk.Hong Renji's hands trembled slightly when he heard this, and he couldn't calm down for a long time."
This is a report on the formation of a new government, you take it back and study it carefully, and then form this government according to your own ideas.The stage official will build it for you, but you will still be the protagonist of this singing opera. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled slightly and handed the report in his hand to Hong Renji."
Dashuai, you mean that a new government will be established in Suzhou" Hong Renji trembled in disbelief and flipped through a few chapters of the report, although he knew that Qiao Zhiqing would rebel one day, but he didn't know that this day would come so quickly."
Yes, the big court that manages it, we will build our small court in Suzhou, and when the time comes, we will see if the big court is powerful, or our small court is powerful."
Qiao Zhiqing jokingly picked up the tea bowl and drank it again, just after the Qingming Festival, this tea is the latest Longjing before the rain, and it tastes very sweet and refreshing."
The subordinates must live up to their mission and swear to repay the kindness of the marshal."
Hong Renji hurriedly flipped through a few chapters, and hurriedly knelt down for Qiao Zhiqing excitedly.None of the outlines listed by Qiao Zhiqing in the report did not meet his wishes, and he tried every possible way to implement them in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but it backfired, and in the end it became a utopia.Now with Qiao Zhiqing as his backing, I believe that he will soon be able to show his talents and complete his long-cherished wish for many years."
Brother Renji, please hurry up, the rejuvenation of China has just begun, we must work together to protect this flame, let it burn all over China, and burn all the places where Chinese people live in the world.The burden on our shoulders is not light, although you can rest assured that the bold reform, there is an official behind you to support you in everything. ”Qiao Zhiqing helped Hong Renji up with a sincere face, hugged his fists and explained heavily."
Big Handsome" Hong Renji's hands trembled with excitement, his eyes were full of tears, and he was choked up and speechless.After more than half a month of planning, the first government was also secretly formed under Qiao Zhiqing's operation.According to the current specific situation, five departments with Hong Renji as prime minister have been set up, namely the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, and the Ministry of Agriculture.The first minister of the Ministry of Education was Yung Hong, and Huaxing College and Huaxing Women's College were officially merged to form Huaxing College, and the president was Feng Guifen, the president of Huaxing College.The first minister of the Ministry of Public Security was unexpectedly served by Zhou Xiuying, and the Huaxing League also officially moved from behind the scenes to the forefront, responsible for public security issues in the Qingzi Military District.The first minister of the Ministry of Finance was Sheng Xuanhuai, who accumulated a lot of experience during the reign of Jin Kuicheng, and in just half a year, Jin Kuicheng was built into a small treasury of the Qing army, and it was only appropriate to serve as the minister of finance.The minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce was served by Pan Qiaoyu's uncle Pan Yongquan, the old man had done business all his life, and he wanted to try the feeling of being an official when he was old, and at the invitation of Qiao Zhiqing, he handed over all the business matters to Pan Qiaoyu to take care of, and he became the first minister of industry and commerce.The minister of the Ministry of Agriculture is none other than Chen Guoping, who thoroughly implemented Qiao Zhiqing's egalitarian idea of "fighting local tyrants and dividing up the land" in the land reform, and did not hesitate to offend a large number of powerful people, and finally actively completed this task, and it is very suitable for him to take up the post of minister of agriculture.After a series of reforms, Qiao Zhiqing's burden was also much easier, no longer grabbing his eyebrows and hair, and holding everything in his arms.The first graduates of Huaxing Academy and Huaxing Women's Academy also completed their studies at this time, and one by one they became the target of crazy robbery by various departments.Although he has no experience in governance, he is always slowly advancing in exploration, Qiao Zhiqing does not want to invite back the former group of rotten Confucians who only know flattery, and would rather use some raw melons and eggs, even if he makes some mistakes, it will also be an experience for the establishment of New China in the future.A great man of later generations once said, "Power comes out of the barrel of a gun." ”Qiao Zhiqing relieved himself to let go of his power, and he devoted himself wholeheartedly to military politics, as long as the army is his own, then everything must be implemented according to his own thoughts.At the time of the reform in Suzhou, the news of the victory in Wuxiang County, Shanxi Province also came back.A month ago, after a day and night march, Wang Shijie finally arrived in Lu'an, Shanxi.The villages outside Lu'an City were sacked by the Hui army, all of them were ten rooms and nine empty, and the corpses were all over the field, and they suffered the same as those in northern Shaanxi.The Hui people's idea is to kill all the Han people and establish an Islamic state dominated by the Hui people, and naturally there is no mercy for the Han people.After repeated confirmation, the prefect of Lu'an Mansion hurriedly went out of the city to greet Wang Shijie.Wang Shijie didn't bother to talk nonsense with him, so he prepared enough grain and grass in the city, and hurriedly chased back to the army with the army.The cavalry regiment led by Zhang Xian built a defensive position on the road that the Hui army had to pass through the day before the Hui army arrived in Wuxiang County.It is surrounded by mountains on all sides, and only this mountain road leads directly to the county seat of Wuxiang.This battle is destined to be a miracle long ago, Zhang Xian's men only have more than 1,500 people, and the Hui army that is rushing forward has 60,000 or 70,000 men and horses.However, among the 60,000 or 70,000, more than half of the old and weak women and children were with the army, and they had such a big grudge with the Han people in Lu'an Mansion that they naturally did not dare to put their families in place, so they could only march towards Taiyuan Mansion with the army.On a quiet morning, when the animals in the mountains had just come out to feed, suddenly a violent burst of gunfire rang out, waking up the valley from its loneliness.After the gunshot, the Hui who was walking in front of the mountain road looked ahead with an incredible face, and suddenly a wail sounded in the crowd, and the Hui people's eyes widened in horror, looking at the bowl-like blood hole in his chest, and finally he lay on the ground inexplicably, without even closing his eyes
