Zeng Guofan's family letter 曾国藩 727Words 2018-03-18
【original】 Yuandi left and right; Received a report from Chen Dongyou, Cai Dongxiang, and Zhou Huitang, and learned that Yongjia Town was in summer on the 19th.It is a pity that it is raining heavily in the day, and it is difficult to advance troops. If we follow up and continue to advance, then Yuxikou can also succeed.When Koizumi went to Guangdong, he chose not to offend others, and he was respectful inside and He Rong outside.Today I heard that Youdan is going out of the province to go to Guangxin, so Koizumi must not go to Guangdong. Ding Yusheng's writing is smooth, Shaoquan asked the shogunate for help, Yusheng was reluctant to go, and feared that he would not be able to go to his younger brother's place, and it would be difficult for Shaoquan.In addition to Nanpo's talent, everyone is happy to use it, but he is too old; and there are many negotiations between Guangdong and Hunan, so it is necessary to stay in Nanpo in Hunan to pass all the news.It is planned to send He Ting to go there. He and Lao Gong have already got each other. After the river passes through, it may be more appropriate to invite Nan Weng to come here to do salt business.

I also received a letter from my younger brother, who knew Hanshan in Chao County, and he conquered Xia within a day, so I am very pleased!You can get a lot of rice, and 30,000 yuan for each of the sub-medicines, but you can't get much hands to do things. If you can find a good hand, please go to my brother.Shoushan is not happy at Xishuai's place, and he will go to Zuoshuai's camp today, and it is inconvenient to stay. (March 27, the first year of Tongzhi) 【Note】 ①Square on the inside and round on the outside: Described as being upright on the inside and smooth on the outside.

【Translation】 About Yuandi: After receiving reports from Chen Dongyou, Cai Dongxiang, and Zhou Huitang, they knew that Yongjia Town would be restored on the 19th. Unfortunately, it has been raining heavily these days and it is difficult to advance troops. If they follow up and continue to advance, then Yuxikou will succeed.When Koizumi went to Guangdong, I took him not to offend anyone, he was good-natured and well-mannered.Today I heard that Youdan went out of the province to go to Guangxin, so Koizumi must never go to Guangdong. Ding Yusheng's writing was clear and smooth, Shaoquan asked him to help the shogunate, but he was not willing, and he probably couldn't go to his younger brother's side, because it would be embarrassing to explain to Shaoquan.Nanpo is a young man, and everyone is willing to use him, but he is too old, and there are many negotiations in Guangdong and Hunan, so we have to keep Nanweng in Hunan, get all the news, and prepare to send He Ting. He Ting has always been good friends with Laogong. After the river passes through, please invite Nan Weng to come here to discuss the handling of salt affairs, or it would be more appropriate.

I also received a letter from my younger brother, knowing that Chao County and Hanshan recovered within a day, so I am so relieved!Mi can send more, bullets and gunpowder will send 30,000 yuan each, but the manpower to handle the work is really rare. Allow me to find a good man and send it to my younger brother. Shoushan is not happy to be with Xi Shuai. He will go to Zuo Shuai's camp soon. It is also inconvenient to retain.
