    In the lobby of the governor's office, Xiao Yungui sat down depressedly and shouted outside the hall: "Tang Erniu! Send someone to find Zeng Shuiyuan!" After that, Xiao Yungui lit up his dry pipe again and started smoking.

    Seeing that he still looked a little unhappy, Hong Yun'er waved her hand to drive away the choking smoke and said with a smile: "Man, are you still unwilling? You look like a little daughter-in-law who has been offended."

    Xiao Yungui snorted, rolled his eyes and said, "Four-eyed girl, do you want to start a fight?"

    Hong Yun'er rolled up her sleeves, puffed out her chest, and said unwillingly: "Sister, I'm not in a good mood these days, you'd better not mess with me!"

    Xiao Yungui turned his head and looked at Hong Yun'er's firm chest, swallowed greedily, touched his chin and said: "Yun'er, I'm very strange, what do we mean by this?"

    Hong Yun'er saw his eyes wandering maliciously on her chest, and hurriedly turned to the side, with a slight blush on her face and said: "Of course it's a classmate relationship. At most, at most, there is an additional layer of collaborator relationship.  "

    Xiao Yungui suddenly dusted off his tobacco, stood up, and stared at Hong Yun'er with his bright eyes, which made Hong Yun'er panic, "Yun'er, if I say that I really want to be your husband, what will you do?  "

    Hong Yun'er stared at Xiao Yungui dumbfounded. Seeing his serious expression, she had never seen Xiao Yungui so serious before. She couldn't help but take a few steps back in fright, and forced out an ugly smile: "You, you are joking.  Bar."

    Xiao Yungui took another step forward and said softly: "We can't go back in this era. Haven't you ever thought about what will happen in the future? Haven't you ever thought about the need for someone to take care of you? We have been childhood sweethearts since childhood.  , haven¡¯t you ever thought that I am the most suitable person to be your husband now?¡±

    Hong Yun'er took another step back, her face turned red and white, and she stammered: "You, don't come over, you haven't been serious all day long, are you joking?"

    At this time, Xiao Yungui suddenly burst out laughing, laughing so much that tears came out: "Four-eyed girl, you won't be fooled by me this time?! Your emotional intelligence is really low, hahaha"

    Hong Yun'er was stunned for a moment, then her face turned red and turned purple. The sword flashed, and the two mandarin duck swords at her waist were already unsheathed. She screamed: "You bastard Xiao Yungui, I'm going to kill you!"

    Xiao Yungui seemed to have forgotten Hong Yun'er's magical and fast sword skills for a moment. Only then did he remember it, yelled that it was bad, turned around and ran away.  Hong Yun'er was not willing to let him go. Although her legs and feet were inconvenient, she still gritted her teeth and chased him. The two of them chased each other in the lobby of the dignified governor's Yamen.

    Fortunately, Hong Yun'er's legs were inconvenient and could not catch up with Xiao Yungui, otherwise he would have been torn into pieces.  Xiao Yungui also saw that Hong Yun'er's leg and foot injuries were not healed, so he hid behind the desk and said hurriedly: "It's my fault. Stop chasing her. Be careful of the wound."

    Hong Yun'er's face was full of anger, but she still couldn't hide her beautiful face. She gasped and pointed the knife at Xiao Yungui and said angrily: "Don't run away if you dare, sister, I will chop you to death! Bastard!"

    At this moment, Tang Erniu outside the hall said loudly: "Xi Wang, Xi Wang Niang, the guards have arrived."

    Xiao Yungui hurriedly whispered: "Put the knife away, someone is coming."

    Hong Yun'er looked at him with a murderous look, put away the knife angrily, and said coldly: "You can make arrangements for Zeng Shuiyuan yourself, sister, I won't accompany you!" After saying that, she put away the knife and walked away to the inner hall.  When she was at the door, she turned back and snorted: "Don't blame me for not reminding you that the matter of Zuo Zongtang's wife and child has not been resolved yet. You should first think about how to talk to Zuo Zongtang."

    Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment, watching Hong Yun'er's beautiful back disappear behind the door, and murmured: "I don't need you to remind me, I have already thought about it. Well, she looks very beautiful and has a good figure, but it's a pity that this  Her temper is too strong, it would be great if she had a temper like Li Xuanji."

    Outside the hall, Tang Erniu wiped his sweat and whispered: "Brother Zeng, King Xi and Queen Xi Wang have not fought."

    Zeng Shuiyuan also wiped the sweat from his forehead and sighed: "Xi Wang and Xi Wang Ni are really enemies. When we were in Jintian Village, we often saw them arguing over disagreements, and they didn't even know that we should be their subordinates.  How to persuade, I think only the King of Heaven and the King of East can do it."

    Tang Erniu scratched his head and said, "Brother Zeng, let's go in." Zeng Shuiyuan hummed, and the two of them entered the hall together.

    Entering the hall, Xiao Yungui told the story of the letter from King Yi, and then asked: "Now that the Chenzhou Brigade has arrived, I want to lead the troops out of the city to defend the danger, and give up all the camps in the city to serve as a garrison for the Chenzhou Brigade.  Where we are stationed, we have to count the money and food from the holy treasury, list the expenses, and prepare to deliver it to the Eastern King. We currently have more than 8,000 female soldiers. We have prepared a month's worth of food and grass to transport to the camp outside the city, and the rest of the money and food will be included.  Don't move. After counting, I will seal the treasury for you."

    Zeng Shuiyuan hesitatedHe said: "King of the West, if you go out of the city these two days, we will recruit an additional 3,000 strong men from the common people as holy soldiers. There will be more than 10,000 people in total."

    Xiao Yungui let out a strange sigh: "Are there so many people?"

    Zeng Shuiyuan nodded and said: "The King of the West is kind and generous. He has always helped the people without killing them indiscriminately. Over the past few days, the people have known that our Taiping Holy Soldiers are benevolent and righteous soldiers. They have gradually put aside their doubts and joined us, so the number of soldiers has increased.  "

    ?????

    Zeng Shuiyuan bowed and accepted the order and then said: "One more thing. In the two days since King Xi was away, Zhu Changlin, the owner of Zhuqian Hao, and a group of wealthy businessmen in Changsha had prepared 30,000 collar uniforms and 20,000 winter cotton coats.  , has been delivered to the holy treasury. Boss Zhu said that there are still 40,000 cotton-padded clothes, which can only be prepared after the people who went out to purchase cotton and fabrics come back. His subordinates were thinking that since our army is going to defend outside the city, should we prepare all the cotton-padded clothes?  ?¡±

    Xiao Yungui widened his eyes and said: "Of course, all the warm houses in the city have been given away. Of course we have to prepare all cotton-padded clothes for our brothers in the wilderness. Anyway, there are still some left. Zhu Changlin will give the remaining cotton-padded clothes to us in a few days."  It¡¯s almost enough to buy it.¡±

    Following Xiao Yungui, he stood up and said: "When I left, I had already divided the garrison positions of the various armies. Li Yiwen and Lin Qirong were in the north, generals Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xineng were in the east. I led Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, He Bin, Zhou Zhaoyao,  Tang Erniu and the female battalion men and horses were stationed at Miao Peak to build the Xiangjiang River pontoon bridge. Once the pontoon bridge was built, they would have to cross the west bank and seize the important land of Yuelu Mountain. I thought that the army would leave the city in a few days. Since the Yiwang soldiers will be sent tomorrow  When they arrive, we will leave the city early and all ministries will act according to the originally agreed upon strategy!" Zeng Shuiyuan and Tang Erniu both bowed to their orders.

    After giving the instructions to return the army to Ba Shang, Xiao Yungui took a sip of tea and asked: "The king has lifted the order to close the city before leaving. Is there anything strange happening to the bannermen and wealthy households in the city?"

    Zeng Shuiyuan frowned and said: "There are about more than 10,000 bannermen in the city. Ever since our army entered the city, they have not dared to go out. Recently, some bannermen must have run out of rice, grain, oil and salt at home and sent servants out to buy supplies. After hearing that our army  The ban has been lifted, and many bannermen were ready to leave the city, but we sent them back and did not allow the bannermen to leave the city."

    Xiao Yungui pondered for a moment and said: "These bannermen should have been killed, but I thought there were innocent people among them. Killing indiscriminately would harm the kindness of the King of Heaven and the King of the East. Let's start screening the bannermen in the city tomorrow. Allow  If the people in the city report, any bannermen who oppress the people will be put to death. Anyone who has never oppressed the people will be put into the camp as a slave, and all the houses, fields and property will be put into the holy treasury! If anyone dares to resist, the whole family will be killed.  Kill!"

    Zeng Shuiyuan and Tang Erniu looked at each other, Zeng Shuiyuan stepped forward and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, wouldn't it be clean if we didn't kill them all? Keeping them alive will cause endless troubles in the future. Besides, there is no such thing in the army as making bannermen slaves.  kind of customization.¡±

    Xiao Yungui raised his thick eyebrows, shook his head and said: "Killing them all will only strengthen the fighting spirit of the banner people. Besides, the banner people have oppressed us Han people for so many years. Back then, the Eight Banners entered the border to kill and enslave our Han people. Now it is not cheap to just kill them."  Yes? I want the banner people to know that they must pay back all the evil done by their ancestors back then! The banner people don¡¯t have to kill them all. Only by letting them serve us, the Han people, can the evil spirit in my heart be vented!"

    Zeng Shuiyuan frowned slightly and said: "The idea of ??the King of the West is good, but killing these bannermen will indeed give them an advantage. Let them work as slaves and maidservants, which will allow my kingdom to have a lot more labor, but for a while there was no  With the detailed regulations, I'm afraid there will be many changes in the implementation. How about delaying it for a few days, and we will work out a method in detail, draw up the regulations, report them to the King of Heaven and King Dong for their approval, and then implement them?"

    Xiao Yungui hummed and said, "That's fine. When King Yi arrives tomorrow, you can listen to his ideas. Where are those rich families?"

    Zeng Shuiyuan replied: "It is quite honest. After the ban was lifted, the big families in the city sent people out of the city to collect autumn grain and purchase goods. He Yuanlun of the Baoqing Chamber of Commerce wanted to leave yesterday after paying the money, but his subordinates did not get the order from the King of the West.  So I blocked it."

    Xiao Yungui hummed, touched his chin and said: "We have re-screened the wealthy households in the city. On my way north, I heard that Changsha wealthy businessman Huang Mian still has a lot of property in the city. This person dares to set up a regiment to fight against me and give his family to me."  I have copied it, and my family members will be imprisoned for the time being. They will be punished with hard labor like the bannermen in a few days! There are other big households in the city. You should investigate carefully. If there is any overt or covert violation, and those who are against me Taiping, they will all be treated as the Huang Mian family.  It will be done on a regular basis. Wealthy businessmen like Zhu Changlin who have a good reputation in the city and get along well with our army should also take more care of them. These people can be won over. As for He Yuanlun, you ask him to come to me, I want him to help  We purchased red medicine and all the necessary ordnance, and his Baoqing Gang had access to it on the ground in Hunan and Hubei. With the help of his caravan,We can break through the Qingyao's blockade on us.  "

    Zeng Shuiyuan clasped his fists and said: "The King of the West has far-reaching thoughts, and we respect him."

    While he was talking, an angry voice floated in from outside the hall: "Don't stop me, Xiao Chaogui, I know you are inside, why did you arrest my wife and children?!" But it was Zuo Zongtang outside the hall.  Shouting loudly and angrily.
