Every night of con " Ceng Guofan is passed " the 2nd tell
Going up to be told, we are mentioned, ceng Guofan rapidly go up in the world, hit continuously upgrade quite, but also rush because of talking, handle affairs hard, manner is proud, displease salty abundant emperor and imperial court high-ranking official one after another, by revile of everybody of capital official group. This north floats also heart grey meaning is cold, want to clear away a thing to come home, not only connect travelling expenses collect is not neat, there still is one silver outside. Cadre of this deputy ministry class is become so that hold back bends.
When the angst that it is money, the emperor gave him the work that countryside of a Jiangxi tries to taking an examination of an official. This is a fat difference, will can receive many pupil, 2 will reach a place from the capital, go down to be able to close all the way many " gift " , this is in bright Qing Dynasty is it is open, lawful gray income.
However, it is in road of go to one's post, ceng Guofan receives a sad news of the death in the middle of the night...
1. turning point
Ever the mother died.
Ceng Guofan gets an information in the middle of the night, if 5 thunder with a bang support, one dizzinesses.
This be in charge of an examination is not to work. But Ceng Guofan still goes first Jiangxi circled a, hit time " autumn wind " , farewell Hunan.
Press a convention, handle maternal back issue, ceng Guofan defends filial piety 3 years in the home even.
Did the Ceng Guofan of capital official 13 years, a bit tired. He is swept to oneself give a study, static heart reads, breath shadow mountain forest.
A day of dusk, ceng Guofan is preparing to add up to submit a written statement to a higher authority, go out, hear doorway has neigh. And this Ma Si, also be destiny turn of Ceng Guofan, pull open prelusive.
Original, be the Ministry of War in feudal China is urgent express arrived.
Army of peace and tranquility has built date to seal king, hit Hubei from Guangxi all the way, hit Wu Chang, horse and foot fluctuates already 300 thousand person is numerous, fighting capacity is breathtaking.
On, qing Jun keeps on retreating, xian Feng slept to be not worn, say each place official, you spelled old order to also must be defended to me; Still have those who asked leave of absence, sick leave, fasten off, come out to do " round practice " , protect the home to defend a country.
Ceng Guofan receives, it is salty abundant life the imperial edict with its initiate experienced group.
To this imperial edict, ceng Guofan is plan decline, it is China values filial piety principle since ancient times, be a mother to defend filial piety is extremely big thing; 2 it is oneself civilian, had not taken arms had hit battle, the back does not remove this caldron. Want to say, still have a bit, also be the most crucial a bit, he has lost confidence to Xian Feng, conclude this emperor is not flower advocate, do not do accomplish sth.
Writing good memorial to the throne in him, when wanting demit to drop this assignment. Dao of fleabane of good friend Guo came, he says, the times often is cold-shouldered before you commonplace, imperial court fatuity, do not have law reform, your poem and distance also always do not arrive, the world is great now random, as it happens is you are built result establish line of business, the opportunity of talent of put to good use!
Ceng Guofan listens to sleep lightly suddenly. Right, now is not god-given fine chaos? The world otherwise is random, resemble him this gruff disposition this is smelly disposition, can mix in official circles go down to just call a miracle then. Oneself are not from when the official the first day rises, stand fell inside the king outside emperor, great aspirations that saves the world?
Now, the opportunity was fed to be by the side of the mouth.
2. " increase have one's hair cut " on line
Ceng Guofan is taking imperial edict, will go up sanded, the decision works energetically one time.
Cannot think of, this one works energetically, drew on extremely deep disgrace of life first time to oneself however.
Arrive after Changsha, ground of Ceng Guofan with the power of a thunderbolt and the speed of lightning did two things:
The first, suppress bandits. He calls together practice of group of each district folk rise, try to train, the shovel destroys bandit.
The 2nd, hit black. The bandit is frightened ran, the black vicious power on the place still is in, the 2nd focal point that makes Ceng Guofan except Bao Anliang works.
He established a public security to father dozen of center, announcement is declared, besides the bandit, even punish severely rogue, rumormonger, army deserter, robber, etc. A decapitate is weighed after be being caught, smoke whippy flog gently.
Only 4 months, himself executes, have 130 much people, according to him the directive executes, should even again times more.
To the blame not to death local ruffian is scampish, he gives them custom-built wooden basket, close them the parade sb through the streets in wooden basket, swam to also be not given off, until till the station is dead, starved to death.
For a short while, "Increase have one's hair cut " renown date is brushed explode whole town.
Ceng Guofan reports the job to say to the emperor, troubled times uses heavy law, present bandit is scampish, made before New Year more case, was not punished, do not take feudal official and law early to should return a responsibility, plus peace and tranquility army infestation, want to uphold feudal official authority again, have to practice terrorism. Want the world peace and tranquility only, I do not care about others to scold me cruel.
Horrible policy has effect, how does social order come down quickly surely.
But the local official that Hunan visits completely detested the utmost to Ceng Guofan however.
You think, in the big environment of fatuity incapacity, you are behaved actively, be the face that makes others? Each inches of your milistary exploit, magnifying the incapacity of others.
Plus, ceng Guofan holds water " severe dozen do " , do not take the technological process in the past, anybody can bind bandit rogue to send him here. Local official became a decoration.
Past place official handles a case, still can collect bit of advantage fee. Now, capture, adjudgement, imprisonment, execute authority, arrived here, local official not only influence by built on stilts, grease also is scooped up do not come.
Then, one is aimed at Ceng Guofan's violence, begin to brew from this.
3. Changsha be insulted
Detonate fuse, it is training.
Of Ceng Guofan " round practice " , be commando property at first. Green battalion just is the normal armed forces of big Qing Dynasty. But the green battalion at that time, military discipline cease to be binding, fight incompetent, everywhere faze civilian, accordingly, ceng Guofan is when Lian Xiangjun, 3 days when set every months, 8 days, want to be stationed in the green battalion of Changsha, with Hunan army together " can hold " .
Look from original intention, this is the thing of Guo Lijun of a benefit; But look from powers and authorities of office, ceng Guofan again exceed one's authority.
The uncouth fellow of green battalion people see Ceng Guofan early not pleasing to the eye, changsha deputy Jiang Qingde -- the desert in face of a battle when army of peace and tranquility attacks Hunan -- at the moment however one face undaunted hard firm Ceng Guofan, be the first boycott can be held, and agitate each army associated disobey.
Ceng Guofan established Ma Xiangxian abundant to go up booklet in accordion form with a slipcase, accused him one shape.
Xian Feng most hate faces a general that escape, issue decree instantly, qing Dege duty investigates and deal with sb.
Ceng Guofan and the conflict that Hunan officialdoms, so far, had spread out be on the desktop. Although the emperor stands in him this at the same time, but Hunan official each hate sb's guts. Green battalion arms often also raises an issue intentionally, follow Hunan armament to fight.
Ceng Guofan follows Hunan prefectorial, also be to be stationed in Hunan highest military affairs is magisterial Bao Qibao post a letter, say you are in charge of a canal to be the first the green battalion arms of make trouble, snuff this unhealthy tendency.
This Bao Qibao is in front by the boss of the clear mind of remove from post, he decides to use this opportunity, teach Ceng Guofan a lesson well.
His hyperbole ground arms of taxi of a few make trouble 5 flowers are bound greatly, do sth on a large scale sends Ceng Guofan's residence, at the same time dispersed Ceng Guofan should punish severely the message of arms of these a few green battalion. The message is passed army in, feelings of the masses of green battalion officers and soldiers is indignant, go into the street in succession processional protest, ask Ceng Guofan puts a person. For a short while, changsha big chaos.
Other place official, never mention it come out to pacify a situation, each closes the door, waiting to see Ceng Guofan's good play.
Green battalion arms sees what did not manager, courage is greater, besiege Ceng Guofan's residence avowedly unexpectedly.
Ceng Guofan's residence, it is make one's rounds strokes goverment office in feudal China next door, stroke Luo Bingzhang's office with Hunan make one's rounds, lie between a wall only. Ceng Guofan expects this helps mob also do not have courage to rush into residence, come to this atttack him 2 taste a high-ranking official.
However, he underestimated this to help the determination of army ruffian behave like a hooligan. When he handles a document, green battalion arms break into, maul a few accompany one after another, somebody even to knife of Ceng Guofan brandish, ever seized the door and escape, run quickly to adjoining make one's rounds to stroke the office.
Grasping Zhang Zao of a white horse with a black mane hears green battalion arms is in make trouble, hide in the pretend to be deaf and dumb in house to watch old show however. Will knock till Ceng Guofan, just pretend to be open-eyed, come round mediatory. Green battalion army see " alarm " make one's rounds is stroked, be forced to stay a hand.
Luo Bingzhang follows the mediatory practice after, it is dye-in-the-wood humiliate Ceng Guofan. He is to give Bao Qibao to bind untie a person of arms of a few when come green battalion with one's own hands first, apologize again and again next, say to let brother be upset by unkindness. Green battalion people listen to the Li Shu that get a heart to take, embracing these a few batman to leave cheerly.
To Ceng Guofan, small cloud of wind of a white horse with a black mane says weakly, "Fight in the future, still get depend on they ah. " face about went.
Ceng Guofan gas gets be left without an argument.
2 taste a high-ranking official to be arranged by green battalion batman obviously for nothing, hunan official each light up with pleasure, regard this thing as jest, according to legend of mouth of mouth of embellish a story.
Official of class of a deputy ministry, nearly life funeral the hand of the blackguardly army ruffian of this face, final nowhere argue ends up with nothing definite. Ceng Guofan heart annoys again, subdue again, rush on gas blood, night cannot sleep.
Bring a lawsuit against to the booklet in accordion form with a slipcase on the emperor again? Trashy, official of Hunan so much, even if pull down, can you pull down a brood? If cannot, how to still establish a body in Hunan later?
Ceng Guofan is successive a few night do not have Mian, after analysing a situation, he made a decision: Brave man hits tooth and blood to swallow. He is taking wounded proper pride, furl baggage bedclothes, guide Hunan army to head for quiet Heng Yang.
Want to divide relative superiority or inferiority, drill first a good soldier.
... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... ...
The Ceng Guofan of this one phase, still the old ambition of river of bosom reforming river, he is taking scalpel, aim the abscess penetrate into of big clear canker continuously, cut out of airy with one action gives focus. This one knife, those who prickle is not big Qing Dynasty, it is countless drift along are in carrion medium helminth. They rise jointly, form the vast power that turn over bite, gave Ceng Guofan pawn one club.
But Ceng Guofan can become Ceng Guofan, because of him not only in the forge with late queasy Qing Dynasty, go through the mill went out to exceed strong beat back to call ability, he can be in always still oneself upgrade after meditating, change the crisis to be a favourable turn. The division before no less than is taken an examination of be defeated repeatedly, the capital is frustrated, hit every time, made the turning point of his destiny. After breaking through turning point, he enters taller life dimension to spend again in.
