Chapter 137 To the Ninth Brother and Jidi·Shuyou Friends

【original】 About Yuan Jidi: The rice in Hunan is very expensive, and the Eastern Expedition Bureau has no rice to solve it, and Anqing suffers from the lack of millstones, and the birthday cannot produce 300 stones in spring, which is not enough to meet the needs of all roads. Can't be more; I hope my brother will live within his means, do less exercises, save gunpowder as an instruction, read the map of the palace, and get a few heavy rains. , It should be stable and worry-free. The foreign gun bought by Shaoquan on behalf of him has been handed over to my brother today. The foreign guns are too powerful, and they are not durable, so they should be used with caution.

For the second youth, my brother's precepts are extremely true, and I have passed it!I'm over it!Because Zheng Kuishi enjoys a great reputation in the world, last year Yuan Weng and the two admonitions of the capital, and the capital and Taiwan, still carefully guarded Zheng as a famous general, thinking that he might as well be promoted with Li. I thought it was a little lighter than the previous fold, but after catching the name of the fold and reading it through the first reading, it really embarrassed Ciqing. My younger brother pointed out that Yu Yijue felt a great loss to Ciqing, and he felt ashamed and regretful!In Yu's life, among his friends, he had very few negative people, but the negative time was very serious. My two younger brothers tried to help me, and there was something that could be redeemed, so I am not afraid to correct my mistakes. (Third day of June in the first year of Tongzhi)

【Note】 ① Grinding pestle: A tool for pounding rice. ② catch: wait. 【Translation】 Yuandi and Jidi left and right: The price of rice in Hunan is too high. There is no rice solution to send to the camp in the Eastern Expedition, and Anqing has worked hard and does not have many mills. The daily spring rice does not exceed 300 shi, which is not enough to meet the needs of various officers and soldiers. Bullets and gunpowder are sent every month. 30,000 catties each, no more. I hope that my brother will live within his means and practice a few times less to save gunpowder. I have seen the camp map. It will rain a few times. The defense at Yinkun and other places must be lax day by day. The first layer is to resist the enemy in the city, and the second layer is to prevent and support the enemy. This should be stable and not dangerous. The foreign gun bought by Shaoquan received a list today. When the goods arrive, they will be sent to the brother's camp immediately. Foreign guns, including Tailing, are mostly not durable, so they should be used with caution.

Regarding the second youth, my younger brother's advice to me was very right, very right, it was my fault!It's my fault!Because of Zheng Kuishi, I am famous in the world. Last year, Yuan, Weng, and the capital Taiwan remonstrated, and I went to Shubao many times to protect Zheng as a famous general. The feelings are light, and the emperor deliberately recruited these words, thinking that the weight of the previous memorial was lighter. After reading the memorial, the whole text really embarrassed Ciqing. Now that my brother points it out, I feel even more negative. I am ashamed!In my life, I have done very little to friends and others, but I have done too much to Ciqing. My two younger brothers have tried their best for me.
