【original】 Around Yuanfu's ninth younger brother: After receiving the letter sent by my younger brother Shiwuye, I know that I have gone to Ji'an on the 16th. Is it easy to rectify the camp in Jizi?Those who achieved major events in ancient times were large in scale and comprehensive in detail, neither of which was indispensable.My brother's comprehensiveness is subtle, and his energy is better than mine.For military equipment, if it is slightly refined, it is advisable to set up a separate book, record it personally, and select someone to teach it.The ancients regarded the sale of battles as the most important task of the enemy, and they always wanted to win.Liu Zhiheng is also diligent in repairing firearms, but he doesn't pay much attention to knives and spears.Yu Zeng sent Chu Jingchang to Henan to buy white wax poles, and distributed the waist knife to each general as a reward. People love it very much.Brother, try to pay attention to this matter, and also practice one side of reasoning.The scale should be large, and my brother also pays attention to it.But those who talk about grandeur are most likely to get mixed up in a loose way.When things happen, they are unorganized, even though they are big, they are expensive?The wait is not in order, and it can be done for a long time. Si Ze's plan is grand, and there are no cheaters.

Qing Hu Runzhi Zhongcheng wrote a letter, Zandi has four characters saying "talent is great and equipment is great", and I love it very much. Talent is reported to equipment, and goodness is knowledge. The bandit boats in Hukou were burned and wiped out on September 8, and Meijiazhou in Hukou was conquered on the ninth day of the first lunar month. After three years of anger, Xueqin revisited the mighty universe after avenging her humiliation.But Ciqing is still in the ridge (upper acupoint and lower mortar), so I can ask Tongyin in the middle.Li Di'an recently wanted to ask for leave to return home to visit relatives, but he did not receive his letter.Qu's courage is really beyond reach. My brother should always communicate with him and ask for help.My younger brother has to take care of his body in the camp, liver depression hurts people the most, and Yu has suffered from it all his life, so it is suitable and easy to adjust. (4th day of October in the seventh year of Xianfeng)

【Note】 ①颟pre: careless meaning. 【Translation】 Around Yuanfu's ninth younger brother: After the lights on the evening of the 22nd, Youjiu and Jin Bagui received a letter sent on the evening of the 15th, knowing that they had gone to Ji’an on the 16th, counting their fingers and counting the younger brother’s 24th day, they should be able to reach the military camp. Fifteenth and Sixth should send someone back, but they haven't arrived today, so I'm really looking forward to it.Is Ji'an Zhongying easy to organize? In ancient times, those who achieved great achievements were indispensable in terms of both large scale and comprehensive management.My brother's comprehensive management is subtle, and his energy surpasses mine.For the military equipment, if it is a little more sophisticated, another account book should be established, recorded and marked in person, and an appropriate person should be selected for use.When the ancients fought wars, they used armored battles to deter the enemy clearly, and they were often easy to win.Liu Zhiheng is diligent in repairing firearms, but he is not particular about swords and spears at all.I once sent Zhu Jingchang to Henan to buy white wax poles and make waist knives. Everyone would give up the rewards, and they all loved them very much.The younger brother can also give it a try. Paying attention to this matter is also an aspect of comprehensive management.

As for the scale should be large, the younger brother should also pay attention to it.But when it comes to big scenes, it is easiest to mix in some sloppy elements, who are careless and unorganized when things happen, so why is it so expensive even though it is big?The errands are numerous and well-organized, and the implementation can be long-term, so although the situation is grand, there is no fraud. Hurun Zhongcheng wrote a letter to praise his younger brother. There are four words in the letter, "great talent and great ability". I like it very much.The root of talent is measure, this really understands what you said!

The enemy ships at Hukou were completely annihilated on September 8th.Hukou Meijiazhou was conquered on the 9th, and the anger accumulated for three years was really a shame on this day, and Xueqin has been cruising in the mighty world on the water again since then.It's just that Ciqing is still in a rough situation.The younger brother can communicate with him at his convenience.Run Weng sent a letter, still wanting to ask the emperor to ask me to go east, I just replied to the letter, stating inappropriate reasons, I wonder if it can be stopped? Peng Zhongtang replied with a letter and sent it from his younger brother to Wen Fangbo's office, asking him to forward it to the capital.The younger brother has a letter to submit to the Fan Office, and it is okay to add a stroke at the end of the letter.Li Di'an wanted to ask for leave to go home to visit relatives, but he did not receive a letter from him.He leads troops where no one can reach.The younger brother should often correspond with him and ask for advice diligently.My younger brother needs to take care of his body in the military camp. Liver depression is the most harmful to the body. I have suffered from liver depression all my life, so I should reconcile it with peace.
