North Korea's stalemate was exactly what Zheng Kezang wanted, but as the weather changed, the Qing army's operations in Huguang also became active. "The army first used the Mongolian cavalry as a pioneer to defeat the aggressive troops in the area north of the Jingjiang River and west of the Han River. The main force of Cui Ping, the deputy general of Huguang, seriously injured Cui Ping himself, and then captured Qianjiang, Jingling (Tianmen), Jingshan, and Hanchuan counties that Cui Ping had recovered without stopping, forcing the remnants of Cui Ping to retreat to Hanyang Fucheng. Although the army was photographed in The possible counterattack of the four divisions of the Zheng Army in the south of the Yangtze River did not attack Hanyang by force, but then they moved eastward, defeated the local anti-Qing forces recruited by Hong Lei at the front lines of Yingcheng, Yunmeng, and Xiaogan, and recaptured Huanghua from the Huguang General Soldier Wang Xinhua. An and Macheng surrounded Huangpi and threatened Huangzhou. www

Facing the unscrupulous rampage of the Qing army in Jiangbei, the supervisor Hong Lei was a little hesitant. Because he had never taken charge of the army, Hong Lei could not judge where to put the main force. Therefore, he repeatedly asked Zheng Kezang to send a general in the army to preside over the battle. In this regard, Zheng Kezang's response was to lead the army to conscript himself.Therefore, on the seventh day of April in the first year of Baokang, Zheng Kezang personally led two divisions of soldiers, horses, water and land, and marched to Wuchang.

Before going to Huguang, Zheng Kezang gave several orders, the first one was to form the Guards.

The imperial guards are in charge of guarding the capital, guarding the palace city, the palace, and the important places in front of Yamen. The generals, officers, and soldiers are all drawn from the current two divisions of water and land. There are [-] regiments in total, and there are three commanders and four divisions in the regiment. It handles military administration, military affairs, medical supplies, training, and service in a unified manner. Its mobilization power is not under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Water and Army, but Zheng Kezang personally leads it, forming a double protection with the Internal Guard Office.

Zheng Kezang's second order was to divide Jiangxi into two, with Nanchang, Ruizhou, Jiujiang, Nankang, Raozhou, Guangxin, Jianchang, Fuzhou, Linjiang, Yuanzhou and the original Zhejiang Eleven prefectures, including Quzhou, were classified as North Jiangxi Province; Ganzhou Prefecture, Nan'an Prefecture in southern Jiangxi, Yanping Prefecture, Tingzhou Prefecture, Shaowu Prefecture in Fujian Province, Nanxiong Prefecture in Guangdong Province, Jiaying Zhili Prefecture, and Hunan Chenzhou Zhili Prefecture were designated Gannan Province; at the same time, in order to make up for the area loss of Fujian Province, the two prefectures of Wenzhou, Zhejiang and Chaozhou, Guangdong were merged into Fujian; in order to make up for the loss of Guangdong, Xunzhou Prefecture of Guangxi was merged into Guangdong; and the capital of Guangxi was changed from Guilin to Liuzhou .

The purpose of Zheng Kezang is of course to weaken the economic strength at the provincial level so that the central government can strengthen its control. However, the establishment of a new province will inevitably increase the size of the provincial-level fencing and its subordinates. To check and balance the provincial administrative units with too much power, Zheng Kezang issued a third order to "merge the state capital".

According to Zheng Kezang's order, except for a very small number of "small" prefectures whose economic indicators and geographical location are indeed very important, which were downgraded to Zhili prefectures, all prefecture-level administrative districts with too small area were divided, designated and assigned to neighboring states. In order to strengthen the economic strength of each prefecture, this order also stipulates that Sanzhou will no longer govern counties in the future.

After issuing these three orders, Zheng Kezang traveled west all the way, first came to the former Taiping Mansion renamed Taiping Prefecture to check the opening process of the Maanshan Iron Mine, and then inspected the newly established Chizhou Camp in Chizhou.The so-called Chizhou Camp is a training camp established by Zheng Kezang to limit front-line commanders from supplementing troops without permission and expanding the army without permission. There is a unified distribution by the Ministry of Water and Army.

Of course, Zheng Kezang also knows that these are actions to make up for the dead, and they may not be effectively implemented under the current military situation, but it is better to have a system than no system. For this reason, in addition to setting up a training camp in Chizhou, Zheng Kezang Two similar camps were also set up in Ganzhou and Wuzhou. In the training camp, there will be a general manager of the third rank, a deputy director of the third rank, a military judge of the fourth rank, and a chief instructor. Pao Gong Ma Bai Bing and other first, second and third class professors, literacy teachers, etc., and a regiment of town soldiers thought they would suppress the guards. Zheng Kezang also planned to build it into a place for future exercises, but this will be a later story.

"Guan Yang, Guan Di, what are you two whispering again?" The violent shouting interrupted the whispering between the two brothers. "Come out." Two thirteen- and fourteen-year-old boys stepped out of the line with some guilt. "The noise in the army and the shaking of the ranks should be beheaded for public display on the battlefield." The professor didn't even look at the two of them. "Although you are not soldiers yet, you will no longer be ordinary people after entering the Young Martial Arts School, so." The professor pointed at the two brothers with the bamboo whip in his hand. "I will punish you two for one day of confinement." The team in front of the professors was a little commotion, but they had all been trained for more than a year. Although they felt that the punishment was a bit heavy, they didn't dare to bargain with the professors. "Take them down." The two guards on the side escorted the pouting brothers down, and heard what the professor said before leaving the team. "Now practice the ninth form of Changquan with me!"

"Unlucky!" Because the guards knew that these children would be military officers in the future, and because the children were young, they said they were holding them, but in fact they let the brothers walk by themselves, so Guan Yang had the opportunity to whisper to Guan Di. . "At first I thought I could see Daddy, but I didn't expect to be robbed by the professor. I don't know if Daddy will be angry when he finds out."

"I'm not blaming you, I can't help seeing Daddy's banner." Guan Di complained. "It's nothing now."

"You're not the same." Guan Yang complained to his brother a little dissatisfied. "What's the use of talking about me"

Before Guan Yang could finish his sentence, he saw a group of knights appearing in front of him. The two children were still looking at each other from the backlight in a daze.

I heard a person on the horse ask with a familiar accent: "Are you a student of the Young Martial Arts School? Where are you going?"

Guan Yang and Guan Di almost jumped up and fell into each other's arms, but they suddenly saw each other's serious face clearly, and they subconsciously stopped after receiving more than a year of military training and military education: " Back to my father, back to my lord, I am a student of the Young Martial Arts School, but I just violated military discipline, the superior sentenced me to confinement for one day, and now I am being escorted to serve my sentence."

"Violation of military discipline should be punished." A smile appeared on Zheng Kezang's face immediately. "However, the answer is quite clever. In this way, how about having a meal with the orphan and then continuing to serve the sentence?" Although Zheng Kezang said this to his two sons, who were aliased as Guan Yang and Guan Di, he actually knew the two sons. The identity of the young Wuxue will not object to offering wine. As for the general manager of Chizhou Daying, who does not know the identity of the two, he is full of envy. After all, he himself does not have the honor to dine with Zheng Kezang. It is clear that Zheng Kezang has always treated the boy camp preferentially, and he is probably happy to see Lie today, and there is no special secret. "Since the chief officer has agreed, then follow up."

Zheng Kezang drove away, and all the officials naturally followed behind. Only two guards stayed behind, helped the two young masters to the saddle respectively, and then fled away under the dumbfounded eyes of the escorting guards. Leave a message like this: "We took the children away, and the wine ceremony will bring them back later, just go back and report to your life."

"Daddy, Daddy!" Entering Zheng Kezang's military tent, the two boys threw themselves on Zheng Kezang's body in no particular order, crying while calling, which made people feel a little sad. "We miss Dad and Mom."

"I didn't come back to see it during the Chinese New Year." Even so, Zheng Kezang hugged his two sons tightly. "That's right, I'm stronger than before, but I can't cry any more, and I'll turn into a cat." Under Zheng Kezang's comfort, Zhu and Zheng Di slowly held back their tears. "Eat first, after eating, let's talk about your situation."

Since Zheng Kezang has always advocated the same desires, except for adding a portion of meat to the two children, the rest is the same as that of the officers and soldiers below: a large piece of fat meat, a portion of moldy dried vegetables, a bamboo bowl of brown rice, a An egg drop soup with a little oil.

Zheng Kezang ate with great relish, and the two children were not picky because they were used to eating in the army. Soon, a wordless light meal was over, and then wiped their mouths with a towel. Life and study in Xiaowuxue: "Professors said that in the future we will come to Chizhou to train for two months every year, and we will train on foot every time."

"How many miles do you train in a day, are there any left behind, how to deal with wounded soldiers, and how to arrange board and lodging." Zheng Kezang asked in detail, and the two children answered everything they could answer, and finally Zheng Kezang asked road. "How did you violate military discipline today?"

The two children became embarrassed, and finally the elder Zhu replied: "It's all my father's fault. I heard that my father was inspecting the school's army. We wanted to see our father's flag, but we were caught by the professor."

Seeing Zheng Kezang's smile that was not a smile, the two children gave up, and threw themselves into Zheng Kezang's arms for a while. Zheng Kezang played with them for a while, and then helped them up. Steady: "Since it is a violation of military discipline, since the professor has issued an order for punishment, I will go back and execute it later."

Seeing the puzzled expressions of the two children, Zheng Kezang turned serious: "You are my sons, and you will have a bright future in the future, so you must know from an early age what to do and what not to do, Daddy and I I can also let you stay in the big tent today, but is this really good for you?"

Zhu and Zheng Di seem to understand but don't understand, but Zheng Kezang knows how to protect himself, so after looking at each other, they all expressed their opinions: "Don't worry, father, the sons will go with Jijiu later."

That's what I said, but when we parted, not only Zheng Kezang was a little bit reluctant, but the two children even cried while holding Zheng Kezang, but Zheng Kezang finally reluctantly returned the children to Xiaowuxue's sacrificial wine : "Ye Qing, remember not to indulge them just because they are orphaned sons."

The wine offered by Youwuxue was submissive, but Zheng Kezang said in a solemn tone: "The reason for letting the two of them study at Youwuxue alone is not just to prevent them from growing up in the hands of women, the key is to cultivate their tenacious character and do it yourself Style, if you can let them learn this, then you are credited, if you can’t learn it, no matter how much you love them, you are harming them.”
