Cough cough cough Zeng Guofan leaned against the bed, coughing empty and violently, his face flushed unhealthy. When Zeng Guoquan saw that his elder brother was so excited, he quickly walked over and stroked his chest and patted his back.

After drinking a few sips of warm tea, Zeng Guofan finally calmed down. He shook his head and sighed, "I'm tired, I'm really tired. I've explained everything I should say to you, but you still can't let go of your heart. You just want to take a step up? How can you be sure that you will succeed if you take a step up?"

"Forget it, don't explain it. I don't want to listen. I don't have the energy to listen to the person here!" With Zeng Guofan's shout, a guard with a simple expression as a simplistic and old farmer's thick hands and feet walked in. There were actually several patches on the black cloak she was wearing.

"I passed my military order, and the Jiziying camp moved to defense in Henan Weihui Prefecture three days later, and I personally escorted the Jiziying north!"

"Brother!" Zeng Guoquan went crazy. He subconsciously wanted to grab Zeng Guofan's hand, but he saw that the old farmer actually blocked Jiushuai's face in front of him. Jiushuai's hand grabbed the old farmer's shoulder.

"Please sit firmly, the coach hasn't finished his words yet!"

Zeng Guofan waved his hand, "It's so troublesome, my brother can still harm me, go ahead!" After saying that, the old farmer smiled quietly and took two steps back to give up the gap between the two brothers.

"Continue to spread my military orders. The eagle has worked hard for many years to fight for the country. It is awarded a fourth-rank top dress and a 120 hectares of land in Foshan. It is a big mansion! Take the dozen disciples you trained to go to Foshan to open a martial arts hall! The fourth-rank top dress, I will give you another 40,000 taels of silver, which is enough for you to carry forward the Nan Shaolin School."

Zeng Guofan's voice was calm and calm, as if he was deciding whether tofu brain tomorrow morning would be better to eat sweet or salty. In the small courtyard outside the study, the eagle was sweating like a pulp and kneeling at the moment, and several apprentices he ordered behind him also knelt together.

There were only four men in black around them, each of them as simple and honest as the old farmer. Each of them was a weathered and ragged black cloak, with patches piled up.

But these four people stood in the northeast, northwest, southeast, and southwest corners, but shocked the Eagle and his apprentices not daring to move at all. The invisible pressure made them breathless.

"Thank you for your kindness!" The eagle hit the ground with one head, shaking like a sieve.

"Eagle, I know that my Lao Jiu has kindness to you. You are determined to repay this kindness! But a gentleman does something and does not do anything. I mentioned you today and blocked this kindness. In the future, Lao Jiu will order you to do something, so you can push it to me!"

After saying that, Zeng Guofan said in an extremely stern tone, "Okay, I'll take the reward, thank you, so let's go quickly! Remember, without my personal military order, no one will be allowed to order you from now on! Remember"

Jiangnan has been peaceful for four years. Many people have forgotten what the power of the general is like. Today, Zeng Guofan has deepened his impression of his subordinates again. He is the veritable King of Jiangnan.

In Zeng Guofan's eyes, the Hunan Army was a whole, and even the entire Jiangnan region was a whole, but there were many factions within the Hunan Army and there were many mountains.

Zeng Guoquan's root is his Jizi Camp, which is the camp that has the greatest military achievements in the capture of Nanjing City. Xiao Letian also highly respect the combat effectiveness of Jizi Camp. When he was in Tanggu, the scene of dozens of war horses trampling on the Green Camp soldiers was still shocking today.

The root of Ji's character Ying is in the south of the Yangtze River, or in the two lakes. This is the hometown of Ji's character Ying. The mountains, rivers, plants, and people are the most familiar to Ji's character Ying. As long as Ji's character Ying does not leave Jiangnan, no one in this world can defeat them, not even foreigners.

But once the Jiziying goes north, you will immediately become unacceptable. Where is Weihui Mansion? It is the border of Zhili, Shanxi, Shandong and Henan provinces. If you do not rebel, these troops from all directions will be your shield, and you will naturally be as stable as Mount Tai.

If you have a little bit of a strange intention, the garrisons from all directions will pounce on you like Mount Tai, without having to fight, and you can even get trapped to death.

The eagle was taken away and didn't even dare to fart from beginning to end. Then Zeng Guofan carried out a rotation of middle-level officers in the Jizi Camp. The generals Zeng Guoquan used were transferred by Zeng Guofan in the name of promotion, and the new officers sent in were all the iron-cores of the commander.

It is an elite general who has enough military merits and strength to shock the arrogant and powerful generals, but only obeys the commander.

Zeng Guoquan was already stupid. He didn't expect his brother to be so cruel and actually use such a domineering method to undermine him. He wanted to resist, but when he looked at his brother leaning against the sickbed, he was full of bitterness and could not say anything.

Military orders were sent out one after another, and finally the atmosphere in the study returned to peace. The two brothers and the old farmer in black were as good as sculptures and did not move for a long time.

The bell suddenly rang, and Jiushuai said, "Brother, you are determined to be a loyal minister of the court? Are you determined to be a dog under the crowd?"

Zeng Guofan did not answer him directly, and was silent for a moment and sighed, "You, you studied in my father's private school at the age of five, and went to the capital to study with me at the age of seventeen. Do I not understand what your temper is?"

"Do you know what my father said to me when he sent you to Beijing? Listen to you, "Stop being angry." This is my father's comment on you. You are talented, but your temper is too weird, so it's so weird that my father can't figure it out!"

"In the sixth year of Xianfeng, Shi Da launched a military force to invade Jiangxi. The battle situation was very critical at that time. I once said at that time, "The road is long and there is no way to call for help. I remember this in the middle of the night, and my soul dreams are often shocked. But at that time, Jiu brother, you join the army, recruit three thousand Xianggongs, and go to Jiangxi to help my brother, attack Ji'an. After winning, I received the military name "Jiziying". Among the many famous Hunan Army generals, Lao Jiu is a rising star, but he is also the fastest rising. You are my true direct lineage."

"My good brother! You went to Ji'an in three battles, captured Jingdezhen one after another, and captured Anqing, Anhui Province's capital by long-term siege and long-term trappings, and then besieged the Taiping Army's nest Nanjing. In the meantime, you blocked the repetition of more than 600,000 reinforcements of the Taiping Army for 46 days with a 50,000 tired army."

"Your contribution is unimaginable, but your arrogant temper is also a headache. In order to monopolize the "first achievement in the world", you rejected the reinforcements sent by me and the court, and still used the iron barrel tactics to dig tunnels into the city for a long time. It took two and a half years to conquer Nanjing. After entering the city, your Jizi Camp started a massacre, and even the Holy Custody of the Heavenly Kingdom was missing."

"My brother, are you wrong with your father's four-character comments about you? I can't let you mess around with these four words if you are angry! Brother, how many years can I live? I can't watch you go to the death of the underworld!"
