At the beginning of the 21st century, there was a popular trend for steppe wolves. Not to mention the grasslands, in the northeast and Mongolia, more than 99% of the large and small self-reliant regimes have been smashed by the Central Plains countries. The reason why no one mentions this is that no one really pays attention to it.

Of course, Zeng Guofan did not have the opportunity to look at the problems of the small Manchu court from this angle, but after withdrawing from Guanwai, the reality of backward productive forces ruthlessly educated him. There were not many people of insight left in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the advice put forward by people of insight like Prince Gong Yixin was to continue to jointly control the Mongol tribes to the west, so that the princes on the Mongolian side would continue to provide materials to support the Guanwai court of the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

As for these banner people outside the Guan, they have not really taxed the court for more than 100 years, and they have to bear the obligation to pay taxes at this time. As for farming, you can also do it appropriately. For example, the Hunan army and some of the soldiers who surrendered from Miao Peilin in Shandong can also share some land for cultivation.

These are just the means that Prince Gong Yixin has to take, what he really cares about is to figure out the situation in the Guannai first, and look forward to a big change in the Guannai, when the Manchu Eight Banners can once again enter the Guannai like their ancestors and regain the world.

When Prince Gong Yixin said this, there was a kind of morbid enthusiasm in his voice, and Zeng Guofan couldn't help but wonder if Prince Gong Yixin was talking nonsense with a high fever now. It's just that he didn't dare to really criticize like that.

Now there are two types of difficulty in finding out the information in the pass. It is relatively difficult to explore the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the northwest, and people there have long hair. It's not easy to put makeup in. It is relatively easy to find out the information of the Guangfu Army, the Guangfu Army is now popular with short hair, and the people on the Manchu side cut their braids, shaved their heads, and had the hairstyle of the Guangfu Army after a month. Moreover, there were soldiers from several provinces on the Manchu side, and the accent would not be recognized. Zeng Guofan determined that the Hunan army had obtained land near Shengjing and began farming, so at the request of Prince Gong Yixin, he sent spies to inquire about the news in Guannai.

This is really not an easy task, the Manchurians can still disguise themselves as Hebei people, and Zeng Guofan's men can only run back to the south. Even if it is very safe, it will take a long time. In the end, Zeng Guofan wrote a roster, which was full of people he had painstakingly dispatched. Some of them may have entered the Liberation Army, or they may have lost their lives after defeat. If the whereabouts of these people can be determined, then efforts will be made to build an intelligence communication line. This gives you more important information.

After being sent out, Zeng Guofan didn't miss these things anymore. But the Manchu court seemed to be going to be a demon, and after Zeng Guofan sent people to contact those who might be lurking, a group of princes even spent a day arguing about how to send people to Nanjing to assassinate Wei Ze, and then destroy the military regime. Zeng Guofan didn't say a word, he was just funny in his heart. The theoretical core of the Manchu court was orphans and widows, and Wei Ze is now said to have several sons, and even if Wei Ze died, his regime would fluctuate, but it would not collapse. As long as Wei Ze's bloodline is not dead, the Guangfu Army will have its own core existence.

Listening to these princes talking about how Wei Ze provoked internal division in the Guangfu Army after his death and fought in an all-round way. Zeng Guofan just wanted to walk away, even if this kind of thing really happened, it had to be after Wei Ze was assassinated. Wei Ze was still in power at this time. What's more, the Guangfu Army did not go north, so it must have complied with Wei Ze's orders. If Wei Ze died, it would be a great achievement to go north to eliminate the Manchus outside the Guan, and the Manchus would never have a chance to survive at that time. I can't even see through such a thing, so it's no wonder that I will be defeated by the Liberation Army.

Waiting for the princes to finally finish their delusions, Zeng Guo Fan built a small Manchu court to put pressure on Goryeo, demanding that Goryeo pay tribute to the suzerain, the Manchu Qing. This serious Jianyì was pleased by the small Manchu court, and Goryeo had more income than the Manchu court, so it would naturally be a good thing if he could get supplies from Goryeo. The Manchu court immediately sent an envoy to Goryeo, demanding that Goryeo fulfill its obligations as a vassal state.

By April, Goryeo envoys arrived in Nanjing, hoping that the new Chinese government would support them in their attack on Guanwai.

At this time, the central government temporarily calmed down, and Nguyen Xi Hao's attempt to bravely take responsibility was completely frustrated, so he honestly accepted his studies in the school. Chinese newspapers began to further promote the concept of the Chinese nation, China and foreign countries, and national interests. The question of the leak has not been raised for the time being.

However, the Spanish fleet near Lanfang did not survive, and in March and April, the South China Sea Fleet, which had strengthened its internal surveillance, was never ambushed again, but it was seen from a distance several times. The navy under the Spanish flag did not rush up to fight the South China Sea Fleet, and after seeing the actions of the Chinese navy, they actually slipped away. Knowing the strength of the "Spanish" fleet, the South China Sea Fleet devised a new plan to hold them down first, and then other warships quickly arrived to lay siege to the enemy. Since the enemy is unwilling to fight, they have no other way.

At this juncture, the Goryeo government's demands sparked some discussion within the Liberation Army. Everyone is a person who grew up in the war, and he understands Goryeo's careful thinking, in a sense, Goryeo just wants to take advantage of the opportunity. Some comrades with a relatively straightforward temperament wanted to scold the Goryeo envoys, and they even wanted to reap benefits from China, but they were simply blinded by lard.

But Weeser's decision was interesting, "Sue them, we know." ”

"What do you mean, Dudu?" Army Chief of Staff Cai Pengfei asked. In fact, this kind of question is usually asked by Hu Chenghe, the commander of the army, but Hu Chenghe has rarely spoken recently, and Cai Pengfei couldn't help but ask.

Wei Ze replied calmly: "Although the Hunan army and the Eight Banners are vulnerable in front of us, no matter how they look at it, they are not something that Gao Li can deal with. In this case, we know that the Koreans are afraid that they will act rashly. At that time, we watched the play. ”

Cai Pengfei felt that the atmosphere of the recent high-level meeting was not so right, and the previous kind of intimate friendship had weakened a lot, of course he knew that Wei Ze was investigating the leak, and he also knew that many old brothers thought that this was to cut the face of the brothers, and everyone was a little angry. So he could only praise: "The governor decides that things are still the same and have opinions." ”

There was no laughter and laughter like before, and the other comrades didn't talk much, and this was the end of the discussion on this matter.
