    Xiao Yungui's letter was not too explicit. He just explained the identity of himself and Yun'er in a calm way, and also briefly mentioned that he and Yun'er had a biological child.  This guy is still the usual tactic of picking up girls. He knows what playing hard to get means. The first reply was not eager to reveal anything, but it slightly aroused Qingyun's jealousy. In Xiao Yungui's imagination, if Qingyun still has feelings for her, he knows  If your fianc¨¦ is snatched away by a good friend, you should be very jealous.

    Of course, Xiao Yungui, a veteran in picking up girls, would not blindly stir up jealousy. Regarding his marriage to Hong Yun'er, he also wrote some actual situations, such as the two people's physical bodies. Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao were husband and wife from the beginning, and they also had a son.  , Xiao Yungui was right about these actual circumstances. If the two had not had this relationship at that time, they would not have gotten together so quickly.  Then Xiao Yungui showed concern for Qingyun with ulterior motives. He knew that sometimes a simple greeting could make a girl happy.

    So the guy finished a letter with impure motives. After repeated revisions, he transcribed it into Chinese Pinyin, and then asked Li Ding, who delivered the letter, to come.

    As for Li Ding, Bai Zetang will naturally not let him go. The capital sub-rudder was dismantled by the Qing court, but he was the only one who survived. This speaks volumes.  After Li Ding delivered the letter to the capital, Tong Qiangsheng interrogated Li Ding personally.  Li Ding knew that he felt sorry for his dead brother and only wanted to die quickly, so he explained everything in detail.

    Knowing that Li Ding had become a traitor, Tong Qiangsheng was naturally extremely angry, but the letter Li Ding sent was from the Queen Mother of the Qing Dynasty, so Tong Qiangsheng did not execute Li Ding for the time being.  He knew that King Xi would definitely ask Li Ding personally.

    Sure enough, the King of the West ordered someone to bring Li Ding not long after reading the letter. Tong Qiangsheng did not know what the King of the West said or asked to Li Ding alone. Finally, the King of the West asked Tong Qiangsheng to enter the study.  Ask him to send Li Ding back to the north, and tell Tong Qiangsheng that Li Ding's death penalty is temporarily pardoned and he is allowed to perform meritorious service, but Bai Zetang must keep this matter secret.

    Tong Qiangsheng knew that the King of the West wanted to use Li Ding as a traitor, but Li Ding was not punished for being a traitor. If this matter spread, it would definitely affect Bai Zetang.  So King Xi asked him to keep it a secret.  But these are not important. Tong Qiangsheng is curious about why the Queen Mother of the Manchu Qing Dynasty wrote to the King of the West, and the King of the West must have replied.  Otherwise he would not summon Li Ding alone.

    Everyone is curious, and Tong Qiangsheng is no exception, but he is very smart and he knows what to ask.  What not to ask about.  So he still chose to follow the orders without asking any questions.

    After Li Ding left, Xiao Yungui turned his attention to Jiang Zhongyuan's troops who were blocking Zhaoqing. This problem had to be solved by himself. He did not put much hope in Song Qingyun. Xiao Yungui didn't know how important a reply would be.  I know, but one thing is for sure, this letter can disturb Song Qingyun to some extent.  It's a pity that Xiao Yungui didn't know that Song Qingyun was as evil as him at this time.  So the mutual calculation between Xiao Yungui and Song Qingyun began.

    Looking at the map with his hands behind his back, Xiao Yungui also felt a little headache.  The key to blitzing Guangdong was to be fast. This time, the Manchu Qing's response was several times faster than he imagined. Song Qingyun boldly appointed Jiang Zhongyuan from Jiangxi to take over Ye Mingchen's position. If he had known that this was the case, Xiao Yungui felt that it would be worse.  Let Ye Mingchen go back. At least the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi is not as difficult as Jiang Zhongyuan.

    Jiang Zhongyuan has been suppressing bandits all his life. From the beginning of his career, he suppressed Lei Zaihao's uprising. Then he gave the Taiping Army their first big defeat. The Taiping Army was almost wiped out at the Battle of Reiyidu, and then rescued  Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places also made the Taiping Army suffer enough, and then guarded Nanchang. The Taiping Army attacked Nanchang three times before finally conquering this place. This guy is famous for being a good defender.

    Thinking of this, Xiao Yungui felt that Zhang Wenxiang's division in Zhaoqing would be very difficult to deal with Jiang Zhongyuan, and Jiang Zhongyuan would definitely mobilize Lao Chongguang's Qing army from Guangxi to assist, and maybe borrow troops from the Hunan army.  Although the Third Division is known as the Zhao Zilong Division, it cannot have three heads and six arms. Moreover, the Third Division is scattered in western Guangdong and has a serious shortage of troops in Zhaoqing.

    Xiao Yungui knew that Li Xiucheng would adjust his deployment in time and mobilize the first and second divisions to assist. What he had to do as the King of the West was to immediately send the second echelon south. At the same time, Shi Dakai must launch a campaign in northern Hunan to contain the Hunan army. He must order  Zeng Guofan did not dare to divide his troops and go south to Guangdong.

    Xiao Yungui then summoned the Staff Department of the Ministry of War. The results deduced by the generals of the Staff Department were similar to Xiao Yungui's judgment. The original plan of the second echelon consisting mostly of rural soldiers in Jiangxi and Fujian was to wait for a while before heading south.  But now the situation has changed. The second echelon must quickly move south to Guangdong, take over the occupied territory, and take on the task of clearing out the remaining enemies. At the same time, the regular new armies in Jiangxi and Fujian need to transfer two more divisions to form a new corps to go south and join Li Xiucheng.  in the command sequence to ensure the superior strength comparison of the Qing army.

    As for beingWith the Nian Army and Lai Wenguang's Taiping Army trapped in Yingzhou, the Staff Department of the Ministry of War suggested that Lin Qirong's department in northern Jiangsu launch the Fengyang Campaign. The soldiers and horses of northern Jiangsu attacked Fengyang, Sizhou and other places in an effort to connect Luzhou and northern Jiangsu.  , and at the same time, it can also contain the Qing army besieging Yingzhou.

    The biggest difference between the modern army and the ancient army is not the spiritual difference. Some scholars believe that the ancient army did not know why they fought, so there is a big gap between the will of the modern army and the modern army.  In fact, this is not the case. The armies of any period have their own goals of loyalty. The loyalty of the ancient army may not be worse than the patriotism of the modern army. During the Soviet Patriotic War, after the Soviet army was defeated by the German blitzkrieg, there were still hundreds of thousands of soldiers.  The Soviet soldiers laid down their weapons and surrendered, and their fighting will could not distinguish the difference between the modern army and the ancient feudal army.  The difference between the two actually lies in the application of science in the military.

    Since the current Taiping Army established a military academy, it has begun to think about building an army scientifically.  First of all, soldiers must participate in literacy class training. Most of these training classes are conducted at night. However, the ancient army had basically nothing to do at night, except for sleeping, which only increased the possibility of bombing the camp.  Taiping soldiers attended literacy classes at night or listened to instructors do ideological work, which not only killed the long nights but also increased the soldiers' knowledge.

    The second is the application of various disciplines in the military. Artillery ballistics, naval hydrography, logistics statistics, scout observation, marching meteorology and other disciplines have all begun to be widely used in the Taiping Army.  It has to be said that war is indeed the first accelerator of scientific and technological development.

    Thirdly, the staff system and logistics were separated from the army. In ancient times, the commanding general of the army had to take care of everything. However, since the Taiping Army established a staff system after the Su Fu New Deal and the New Army training, the army logistics was also separated separately. This is also  An important symbol distinguishes the modern army from the ancient feudal army.

    Xiao Yungui is very satisfied with these young officers in the General Staff Department. Although any one of them may not be so comprehensive, their collective wisdom can surpass any famous general.  After Xiao Yungui received the news, although he had a rough idea of ??how to deal with it, the Staff Department had already compiled a rough battle plan through the collective wisdom of more than ten people.

    This battle plan is only a first draft, and there are still some details that need to be improved. However, these tasks are what the staff assigned to the corps, division, and regiment levels should do. The army staff have a better understanding of the actual battlefield situation, and they have the power to modify the battle plan of the staff department.  , but the campaign objectives assigned by the Staff Division must be completed, and the revised plan by the Staff Staff must be approved by the division commander and corps commander.

    The Taiping Army Staff Department attaches great importance to the amendability of plans. They know that they are only proposing an ideal combat plan, and the actual implementation requires front-line troops, so the Staff Department's plan is not irreversible.  There is a saying in the Staff Department that a plan that cannot be modified is not a good plan.

    The Chief of Staff and Xiao Yungui had roughly the same operational ideas. Xiao Yungui immediately ordered the Chief of Staff to start allocating troops in the name of the Ministry of War. The Taiping Army now looked like a modern army, and their efficiency far exceeded the feudal army of the Qing Dynasty.

    Just when Xiao Yungui announced the mobilization of the second echelon to enter Guangdong, the new American Minister Wei Lian came to Tianjing, and he brought good news and bad news.

    Xiao Yungui met Lie Weilian at dinner time. Xiao Yungui prepared a sumptuous Chinese dinner for Lie Weilian.  Levian came to Shanghai on the latest American sail-steam hybrid battleship USS Minnesota, which was quite a show of force.  But after Li Weilian landed, he saw Wusongkou and the dense naval forts on both sides of the strait. Li Weilian determined that the number of fleets he brought was too small.

    Lie Weilian chose to take the train to visit Suzhou first. He mainly went to visit several factories invested by American businessmen in Suzhou, and then rushed to Tianjing.  Xiao Yungui's purpose of hosting Lie Weilian for dinner was simple. He planned to make a fortune while the Yankees were in economic crisis.

    After the meal, the two started a pleasant conversation. The British man's traditional English was too poor, and Xiao Yungui was more accustomed to American spoken English, so Lie Weilian was surprised that the accent of the Western King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had an obvious cowboy accent.

    Before Xiao Yungui could ask about the domestic economic crisis in the United States, Lie Weilian first thanked the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for its help after the economic crisis in the United States.  These words made Xiao Yungui Zhang Er Jingang confused. The guy had to smile and talk slowly, and finally figured out that all this was Hu Xueyan's masterpiece.

    Hu Xueyan brought more than half of the assets of Guiyun Company, which is almost half of Xiao Yungui's personal property.  After returning to the United States, Hu Xueyan did not invest all his funds in the construction of the Western Railway in the United States as Xiao Yungui wanted. He got some information from his American lover, coupled with his keen business judgment.? ability, he discovered that major steel companies in the United States had the problem of insufficient sales of produced products. At the same time, when checking the railway construction site, he found that more than 70% of the rails used for construction were imported from the United Kingdom. This shocked Hu Xueyan, and he immediately realized  This will bring about a serious business crisis.  (To be continued)
