Chapter 174 To the Fourth Brother: Discussing the Difficulties of Persevering in Combat

【original】 Around Chenghou's fourth younger brother: In the military here, the four-eyed dog and the five false jade rescued Anqing. The pioneers had already reached Jixianguan. It will be difficult to support the grain and rice in the city, and it can be expected to recover. The six genus of Huizhou are all safe and sound. Those who owe more pay are seven months, and those who owe less pay range from four to five to six months. Fortunately, the morale of the army has not yet been slackened.The city of Jiangxi Province was under martial law, and there were thieves everywhere in the vicinity of twenty or thirty li, so I sent Bao Jun to rescue them.On the south bank of Hubei, there is no longer a single thief. On the north bank of De'an, Suizhou and other places, there are three armies of Jin Liu and Cheng Daji, and there will be improvement.I have not recovered from ringworm, and the weather has been hot and dry these days, and I feel very bitter; fortunately, I have been able to work hard, and there is no backlog in recent days.The governor's customs and defense, and the seal of supervision and administration, arrived at the camp on the fourth day of the first day, and it was opened on the sixth day of the first day.

Have you hired a Changsha gardener at home?Are the vegetables lush?Are your sons and nephews not arrogant?Pride is a bad virtue, laziness is a bad spirit, and both are ways to prodigal.To avoid laziness is to get up early, to avoid arrogance is to walk more and sit less in sedan chairs.Brother Wang is careful, and if he hears that I am arrogant and lazy, he will write a letter to advise me. (July 14th, the first year of Tongzhi) 【Note】 ① Kangzao: It means extremely dry. 【Translation】 Around Chenghou's fourth younger brother: In the military here, the four-eyed dog entangles the five puppet kings, Professor An Qing, who are in the vanguard, and have arrived at Jixian Pass. The ninth brother has written several times saying that he will stick to the original Haogou, and he can guarantee that nothing will happen.But if you can stick to it for ten days and half a month, the food in the city must be difficult to support, and there is hope to conquer it.

The six vassals of Huizhou are safe, and they owe the army pay for seven months, and four, five, or six months for the short.The capital of Jiangxi Province is under martial law, and there are enemies everywhere in the vicinity of twenty or thirty li.I sent Bao Jun to rescue him.On the south bank of Hubei, there is no longer any enemy.In Dezhou and Suizhou on the north bank, there are three armies of Jin, Liu and Cheng Daji, and they will surely improve day by day.My ringworm is not getting better, and the weather has been extremely dry recently, making me uncomfortable.Fortunately, the official affairs can barely be dealt with, and there is no backlog of official documents.Governor Guanfang, Yanzheng seal, delivered to the camp on the fourth day, and I will immediately use it on the sixth day.

Has the Changsha gardener you hired at home arrived?Are the vegetables thriving?Are your nephews not arrogant?Pride is evil, laziness is bad luck, both are ways to prodigal.There is nothing better than getting up early to quit laziness, and nothing better to quit arrogance than walking more and sitting less in sedan chairs.I hope my brother will be careful.If you hear about my arrogance and laziness, write a letter to persuade me.
