Chapter 666 Pro-Army, Hunan, Hubei

Zhou Shixiang was very disgusted with the Tang Dynasty's use of eunuchs and how to build an inner court. The total number of military and civilians in Guangdong and Guangxi was less than 4 million, which was less than that of the Qing government, but it was not difficult to support a regime. The establishment of six ministries and nine ministers in the cabinet had greatly increased the burden on military and civilians in Guangdong, and this was an optional inner court. However, the Tang Dynasty's ancestral system made Zhou Shixiang difficult to oppose it. Fortunately, the Tang Dynasty also knew that it was not easy for Guangdong and Guangxi, so it only accommodated more than a hundred eunuchs and set up three and four yamen again, with limited expenses. Zhou Shixiang asked the Guangdong Bank, which was directly under the command of the Military Commander's Office, to allocate 20,000 yuan in new silver dollars and equivalent food stamps to support the expenses of the Tang Dynasty.

After transferring silver dollars and food coupons, Zhou Shixiang asked the Military Information Department to investigate the details of the internal officials who were included in the Tang Dynasty, and at the same time gave the new Guangzhou Prefecture Office. The former magistrate Jiang Qingzhi of Zengcheng was ordered to send people to monitor the city gates. Anyone who was white and had no need to take off his clothes and check it. If the eunuch was sent to Xiangshan for resettlement in the rural areas, he could support himself. The handwriting clearly required Jiang Qingzhi not to let the eunuch enter the Tang Dynasty.

After receiving the order from the Duke of Guangdong, Jiang Qingzhi dared to neglect, the Guangzhou gates sent additional personnel on that day, and the city was also inspected along the streets and alleys. The important roads in front of the Tang Dynasty's Mansion also secretly deployed personnel. Any eunuchs with existing private investment banks were arrested and deported immediately.

There, except for the more than a hundred new officials who were newly collected, most of the maids from the Nanfu of King Ping were also kept for the dispatch of the King of Tang and his wife. Zhou Shixiang also tried his best to provide all the costs and did not treat the King of Tang. Although the King of Tang was in charge of the inner custody and established the inner court, he still adhered to the simple style of Wencun and did not become an extravagant person overnight. The food he ate every day was no different from Wencun. Except for the newly purchased two court robes and dresses, there was nothing else.

The King of Tang was in Guangzhou, and according to the system, there must be a personal army, that is, Jinyi's personal army. Both the King of Tang and Guo Zhiqi mentioned this to Zhou Shi. The King of Tang Yi lowered the troops of Wang Xing, the tenth town general of the Taiping Army, to be the personal army of the emperor.

The relationship between the King of Tang and General Wang Xing of Hu Ben is well known. If Wang Xing had not taken in King of Tang in Yuwen Village, the King of Tang would have probably died long ago. Although Wang Xing was a bandit, he was extremely loyal to the Ming Dynasty after being recruited. Shang Kexi repeatedly persuaded him to surrender and was rejected. He was defeated by Wang Xing when he attacked Wen Village twice. After Zhou Shiqi ordered the king to serve the king, Wang Xing had no intention of going to Zhaoqing to attend the meeting, and it was the King of Tang who came forward to persuade him. Then he led his troops to the meeting. He is now the tenth general of the Taiping Army. The town headquarters is stationed in Nanning, Guangxi, and is under the command of the Guangxi Governor Shao Jiugong, and is responsible for the armed clearance of chieftains in the south of Guangxi.

The King of Tang wanted to transfer Wang Xing's troops to his personal army, but naturally because of his trust in Wang Xing. However, he was undoubtedly distrustful to Zhou Shixiang, so Guo Zhiqi also thought that the request of King Tang was very inappropriate. Zhou Shixiang also felt that this matter was a bit incredible. The King of Tang, who originally wanted to compete for official positions, had a clue and thought of military power. He asked Gui Yongzhi to go to the eunuch of Sili to inquire about it, and then he realized that the King of Tang wanted to transfer Wang Xing's troops to his personal army was that he had just arrived in Lianchengbi and Zhang Xiaoqi.

"These two governors really want me to remove my armor and discard my seal now. I think I have offended them so hard over the years. I just came to Guangzhou and thought about giving me eye drops."

Zhou Shixiang was not interested in giving a warning to Lian Chengbi and Zhang Xiao who had just arrived, and was asking them for trouble. He was too petty. He asked Duke Xiang of Song to tell Guo Zhiqi that Wang Xing's troops now have important military affairs in Guangxi and cannot be easily transferred. Zhou Shixiang planned to transfer the third town of the Taiping Army to the Prince of Tang. The third town was Jiang He's army. The Bing Brigade was Anghaba, a Manzhou native who saw and killed Tayinmu with Suna. The old surname was Guarjia, and his current name was Zhou Baoguo.

Zhou Baoguo and Suna, who changed the name of Han to Wang Tai, were no less loyal to Zhou Shixiang than Ge Yi, Jiang He, Shao Chengguo and others from Daqiao Mountain. During the time when the Bing Brigade was stationed in Guangzhou, the Administrators and the Administrators promoted the establishment of villages. The Ministry actively cooperated with the Administrators' yamen in Conghua and Qingyuan, and made many ruthless moves against the local gentry and landlords, so many people went to Guangzhou to report Zhou Baoguo's lawsuit. As a result, they were naturally "protected by officials", and there was a drama of "who in the hall should sue the official".

Before the Tang Dynasty could reply, the transfer order from the Military Commander's Office was soon sent out. Zhou Baoguo, who was sharpening his sword and preparing to attack Jiangxi and seize Nanjing for the general, turned into a bullshit King of Tang's personal army commander, which really made this man in Manzhou very aggrieved.

The King of Tang did not say anything about the personal army and agreed to this matter. Even Chengbi and Zhang Xiao were unable to transfer Wang Xing back, but instead made Zhou Shixiang's man the personal army of the emperor. Naturally, he was unwilling to accept it. However, the King of Tang didn't say anything. The two of them came here for the first time and had no foundation in Guangzhou, so they couldn't make a fuss even if they wanted to.

The little storm of the personal army soon passed. The cabinet agreed that the fifth day of June was the auspicious day of the zodiac, and at that time, a Circular Mound outside the East City would be set up to worship the heaven and earth, and then go to the First Palace to worship the ancestors, and then go to the Wuying Palace to accept worship from the ministers and issue orders to supervise the state.

There is no Fengxian Hall or Wuying Hall here in Guangzhou, but the etiquette of the rituals and the state rituals must be like this. Therefore, after the cabinet discussed, the King of Tang and Zhou Shixiang, and ordered the Guangdong Provincial Administration to build the Taimiao, the Temple of the King of Tang and the King of Tang. The temple was made of its meaning, and not its form, and everything was simple. As for the Fengxian, Wuying and other halls, it was directly changed to the Governor's Office where the six departments of the cabinet were located. This Governor's Office was originally Shaowu Palace, and now it was used as the place where the Tang King of Tang was held, which was also suitable.

Liu Tichun, He Zhen and Wang Guangxing have not returned to Huguang yet. First, they have to wait for the Tang Wangjian to return after the national gift is completed, and second, their negotiations with Zhou Shixiang have not yet come out.

Zhongzhen Camp and Yaohuang Shisanjia sent personnel to attend the state ceremony of King Tang, which not only showed their support for the King Tang, but also their support for Zhou Shixiang. Therefore, Zhou Shixiang must be rewarded.

Liu Tichun proposed on behalf of the Zhongzhen Camp and the Yaohuang Shisanjia that after the Tang Dynasty supervised the country, Huguang should govern the Zhongzhen Camp and the Yaohuang Shisanjia, and the court should entrust the people of the Zhongzhen Camp to serve as the governor of Huguang.

In Huguang, Yuanzhou, Jingzhou and Baoqing are currently occupied and controlled by the Taiping Army. Except for Wuchang, Changde, Changsha, Huangzhou and De'an, the other prefectures and counties are controlled by Zhongzhenying and Yaohuang Thirteen families.

Liu Tichun and the others had a clear meaning. They wanted to get the entire Huguang. Zhou Shixiang naturally could not agree to this condition, because if he did that, the Taiping Army that blocked the Hunan-Guizhou border would withdraw from Huguang. The Zhongzhen Camp and the Yaohuang Thirteen Family are now known to have tens of thousands of soldiers, but the old man can fight 20,000 or 30,000 soldiers, and they fight on their own. Not to mention the local bandits of the Yaohuang Thirteen Family, the inside of the Zhongzhen Camp is not a solid piece. Li Laiheng, the Communist Party leader, could not command other generals at all. Giving Huguang to them, he would probably be able to be protruded by the Qing army in Guizhou in a blink of an eye.
