After a long sigh this night, Jiu Shuai finally untied the knot in his heart, and he understood the hard work of the eldest brother, whether it was for the family or the nation, the eldest brother was affectionate and righteous. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In addition, Jiu Shuai finally knew what the eldest brother had been thinking all along, why didn't Zeng Guofan say this to his brother before? That's because the time was not right, and if he said it too early, with Zeng Guoquan's arrogant temper, he would definitely not be convinced.

Zeng Guofan couldn't tell the ninth brother that this man was not ordinary, and he might inherit the mantle of the Chinese nation and provoke the banner of the nation when he met Xiao Letian secretly for the first time, right?

If Zeng Dashuai said it at that time, with Jiushuai's temper, he could immediately destroy Xiao Letian.

Everything has to wait until the time is ripe, when is it ripe? It is necessary to wait for Xiao Letian to perform a miracle that will make the whole world jaw-dropping, and he must convince the ninth brother in his heart before he can throw out these remarks.

Xiao Lotian wrote a book "Journey to the West", are you convinced? Xiao Lotian ran a foreign bank, entered the Ryukyus, provoked a great uprising of 100,000 Chinese empty-handed, destroyed Shimazu, and sat firmly in the prime position, are you convinced?

Strong troops entered Europa, the Austro-Prussian War was a stone bridge heights, and the European military observers who fought were dumbfounded, are you convinced?

Then destroyed the French invading fleet, and fought a short conflict with the Manchu Qing in the land of Gyeonggi, and finally even the capital was captured, Xiao Letian actually served as the regent for a few months, are you old Jiufu or not?

In the end, he took away Emperor Tongzhi, became the emperor's teacher, controlled Japan, and entered South America to lay down a Chinese colony.

Control the economy of the Qing Dynasty with money tickets, build the miracle Zhiyuan with heavy money, attack the Atlantic route in naval battles, and finally destroy the Russian fleet, and besiege the Tsarist Russian expeditionary force with heavy troops, are you convinced?

You have to wait until you Zeng Guoquan is completely convinced, and you know that you can't do this at all, before you can really open your heart and listen to the truth of the eldest brother.

Don't think that the Hunan army is very good, the Hunan army is only in the hometown, and it is very good in the south of the Yangtze River, and once it leaves its homeland, its combat effectiveness will be discounted.

Needless to say, the veterans taken by Zuo Jigao are all the elite of the elite, but when they get to the west, they have to be fed with silver before they can fight.

The imperial court didn't give so much cash to exterminate the long hair back then, but now it has to give Zuo Ji Gao enough salary, and Hu Xueyan is almost tired and vomits blood, so he has to raise military expenses.

It's not because it's a long-distance battle, the Hunan army is just silver, and without silver combat effectiveness, they want to come up with it.

This is the case in the Qing Dynasty, so if one day, a soldier needs to go abroad to fight? When you come to a land where you are not familiar with your life, and everything has nothing to do with you, will you still work for your life?

These questions were like a giant hammer smashed into Jiu Shuai's heart, causing his proud heart to be smashed all over the cracks.

Once upon a time, the Hunan army with the light of victory, the powerful even foreigners had to salute three points, at that time, the government and the opposition all looked sideways, and the people saw that the Hunan army was all obedient like little sheep, and even the queen mother had to look at the faces of the Zeng brothers.

It is this kind of illusory scene that makes Jiushuai Zeng Guoquan's ambition swell rapidly, and at the craziest time, he can't understand the side knock of the eldest brother, nor can he understand the cynicism of the Manchurians, he has only one thought, that is, to go to the next level.

In real history, it was Qingliu and Jiushuai's own brother who suppressed his desires and finally made his ideals come to naught.

And today, it was Xiao Letian who shocked his ambition with an almost dazzling and incredible record, and when Jiu Shuai sighed that I was not as good as it, the heart of rebellion was completely broken.

Life is like this, turning this page is the sea and the sky, pushing open the window Jiu Shuai to see the stars in the sky are a little more transparent than usual, completely abandoning the shackles of pressure, he took a deep breath of cold air.

"Big brother, don't worry! Let's not talk about the two brothers, it's still no problem to protect Jiangnan for the next twenty years! What if Xiao Letian can't succeed in twenty years?"

Zeng Guofan, who was behind him, smiled and said, "Will we still be in 20 years? Don't worry about it, do your best to obey the destiny of heaven!"

After a long sigh, the two brothers did not sleep, and finally under the service of his younger brother, Dashuai smoked a pot of good Indian horseshoe soil to save up his energy.

The old peasant walked briskly from outside: "The garrison along the river has sent a telegram that the Zhiyuan will arrive in Jiangning at 9 o'clock in the morning! The emperor has already arrived!"

"Okay, all right, all ready, all the ceremonies, are we ready, are we all ready, now that everything is ready, let......'s go."

On the same day, Jiangning was boiling, and hundreds of thousands of people poured into the streets to welcome Emperor Tongzhi to inspect Jiangning.

Hundreds of officials and people bowed to the emperor, and the little emperor comforted the people, and then announced that Jiangning was exempted from money and grain taxes for one year, which was the emperor's gift, and then Jiangning Marshal's Mansion held a banquet to welcome His Majesty.

Everything was in order and there was no chaos, Xiao Letian as the emperor and Zeng Guofan sat on the main seat with the little emperor on the left and right, and after the banquet, Zeng Guofan announced the start of the military parade.

The Hunan army selected a total of 2,000 people to perform martial arts for the little emperor, and tens of thousands of people watched the ceremony together at the scene, until the last of the martial arts performance came to the little emperor's play.

On behalf of the Hunan army in Jiangnan, Zeng Guofan submitted a petition to the emperor, imploring the 14-year-old Tongzhi Emperor to take charge of the government from now on, and cited the precedent of the Holy Ancestor Kangxi Emperor.

Emperor Kangxi succeeded to the throne at the age of eight, and he was in power at the age of fourteen, and Emperor Tongzhi had already succeeded to the throne at the age of five.

The scene was suddenly boiling, Zeng Guofan clearly put Emperor Tongzhi and Kangxi together on a par, Jiangning military and civilians estimated that they had already rehearsed, and suddenly the mountains shouted long live, and they all fell to the ground and begged the little emperor to govern themselves.

Jae Chun's face flushed with excitement, and he almost nodded in agreement, but when he saw the master standing next to him out of the corner of his eye, he immediately remembered last night's request.

This is actually a play, before Emperor Tongzhi completed his study tour in Europe, and before his new army in the Imperial Forest did not grow, Zaichun should be as far away from the Forbidden City as possible.

Today's everything is actually Zeng Dashuai is acting for all the high-ranking officials of the world, mainly the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the smell of warning is very obvious, Zaichun's status is recognized by the Hunan army group, so regardless of whether Zaichun is pro-government or not, any decree issued by Zaichun now, the Hunan army will resolutely implement it.

Does an emperor who is not pro-government have the right to exempt Jiangning from paying taxes for one year? Logically speaking, there should be none, but if the Hunan army is willing to accept this will, then this will is legitimate.

Can an emperor who is not pro-government decide the legitimacy of the Suzhou stock market? Logically speaking, there should be none, but as long as the Hunan army and the Chinese people recognize it, then this will is legitimate.

On the same day, Chun resigned three times, and announced that the study tour was not successful, and he would never consider the pro-government matter, Zeng Dashuai saw the emperor's resolute attitude, and bowed to the ground and shouted long live.

The Jiangning welcoming ceremony was successfully concluded.
