Zeng Guofan's family letter 曾国藩 1234Words 2018-03-18
【original】 Around Yuanfu's ninth younger brother: On the second day of the first month of November, when Spring Erjia returned four times, I received a letter from the twenty-fourth night, and I knew everything.Things in my brother's camp should be done smoothly, and the family is happy.Shuai Yizhai's uncle, named Xiaozhou, came on the second day of the lunar new year with Zhang Liuqin prefect's book seal, and told Yizhai about the tragedy of his death.Yu Gu paid fifty taels of gold and handed over a small boat to fund his trip to Jiangxi.He also wrote a letter to send Xueqin, asking him to prepare a warship to go to Guangxi to meet and protect the family members of Yizhai. From Zhejiang, he also prepared a boat to the provincial capital to welcome Yizhai and his nephew's coffin in Nankang. They will go out of the lake together. From Hukou Duan Kiln to Huangmei Shuai’s House, it’s only tens of miles away.

Earlier, the door of Mr. Xianzhou's tomb was dug up by thieves. Yu once sent a letter to Runzhi Zhongcheng, Lianfang's staff, and raised three or four hundred taels of silver for repairs.This time the small boat returned home, and it can be properly housed together. There is little spare money, that is, to support the family members of Yizhai, but it is also very thin, and it is difficult to survive on its own. After Dongxiang's defeat, Vice General Zhou of Li Zhenjun retreated to Wuyangdu.I heard that Xiang Zhongcheng sent a letter to Changsha, and asked Xia Qiting to recruit thousands of braves to go to the river to help. I don't know if it is true?Since the civil strife in Hongyang, the Outline of Thieves was in disarray. Shi Dakai went to Gu Jinling and went to Gu Anqing, but he may not be able to reach Jiangxi again.Even if Guo Guo came to help, there were only too many mob soldiers, and there were not many thieves.Our army is only able to gain a foothold, not only Ji'an is capable of defeating it, even Linjiang Xiao's army can also defeat it.

Hu Juezhi will return to the province on the tenth day of the lunar new year, so there is no need to invite friends to write to him in the future.Han Sheng went home on leave, and the rest of the paperwork was still complicated, so he had to take care of it alone. After his younger brother ordered Wang Fu to go home at the beginning of the twelfth lunar month and explain, he ordered Han Sheng to return to the province for the New Year.When Han Zizheng went to Jiying at the beginning, there was no one at Jidi's office for 40 days to take care of the copywriting, since Peng Chunnian took care of it, there was absolutely no negligence.Han Sheng and Wang Fu are both meticulous and diligent, and they have nothing to say.Ling Yinqian will go to Xueqin's office within a few days. If my younger brother needs a good player again, Ling Yin can also be ordered to go to Jiye. (The fifth day of November in the seventh year of Xianfeng)

【Note】 ① Outline: That is, the military's combat policy and guiding ideology. ②Xuan 轾: Severity.Regardless of the meaning of this. 【Translation】 About Yuanfu's ninth younger brother; On the second day of the first month of November, the second day of the spring and the fourth day of the Jia family, I received a letter from the evening of the 24th and knew everything.Things are going well in my younger brother's barracks, and everyone in the family is happy.Shuai Yizhai's uncle, Xiaozhou, came back on the second day of junior high school with a letter from prefect Zhang Liuqin, telling him in detail about the tragedy of Yizhai's death. I prepared fifty taels of cash and handed it over to Xiaozhou for his travel expenses to Jiangxi.He also wrote a letter to Xueqin, instructing him to prepare warships to go to Guangxi to welcome Yizhai's family members from Zhejiang, and to prepare ships to escort Yizhai and his nephew's coffin to Nankang. Out of Hukou, from Hukou Duan Kiln to Huangmei Shuai's House, it is only a few dozen miles.

Not long ago, the grave of Mr. Xianzhou was dug up by the enemy. I wrote a signal to Runzhi Zhongcheng and Lian Hang to raise three to four hundred taels of silver as funds for the restoration.This time when Xiao Zhou returns home, they can be buried properly together.If there is a little extra money, it will be used for Zhou Ji Yizhai's family members, but it is very little, and it is difficult to support the family. After the failure of Dongxiang, Li Zhenjun and Vice General Zhou all retreated to Wuyangdu.I heard that Qi Zhongcheng wrote a letter to Changsha, asking Qiting to recruit thousands of soldiers and go to the Yangtze River for reinforcements. I don't know if it is true?Since the Hong and Yang turmoil, the guiding ideology in the enemy army has been disordered. Shi Dakai went to Gu Jinling and went to Gu Anqing, and he might not be able to go to Jiangxi again.As long as our army can stand a little bit, not only Ji'an can win the battle, but the Linjiang Xiao army can also win the battle.

Hu Juezhi will return to the province on the tenth day of the first lunar month, so there is no need to invite friends to write to him in the future.Han Sheng went home on leave. My copywriting work here is still very heavy, so I can’t do without someone to take care of it. I hope that my younger brother, Wang Fu, will call Han Sheng back to the province to celebrate the New Year after he returns home in early December to explain.Han arrived at the Ji'an camp at the beginning of the first lunar month, and it is estimated that there will be no one in his younger brother's office for 40 days, so Peng Chunnian can take care of it, and there will be no negligence. In other words, Ling Yinqian will go to Xueqin's place in the next day, and if his younger brother needs a good hand, he can also order Ling to go to Ji'an. (The fifth day of November in the seventh year of Xianfeng)
