Chapter 82: Blue Eyes
The four deputy division-level generals entered the pilgrimage together, and they were confused, and they couldn't stay in the main hall for a few words. Guan Zhuofan's intention to make this arrangement must be to choose among the generals above the division level - unless there is no suitable one, retreat to the second, and then go to the deputy division level to find it.
So, is there a suitable one?
Among the seven generals above the division level who entered the Hajj, Wall and Anderson were already married, so there was no need to consider it; Unmarried are Daniel Zhang, Forrest, Bai Qiwen, Yixan, and Jiang De.
Among these five people, two foreign devils were out first - although they had already been naturalized, Guan Zhuofan, Cixi and Yu'er themselves did not have any intention of Huayi marriage. There are three Chinese left: Daniel Zhang, Yixan, and Jiang De. But Daniel Zhang is engaged and should not be among them. In the end, there were only Ixan and Jiang De.
Among the generals of the Xuan Army, Cixi's own favorites were actually Wu Jianying and Yixan.
In the battle of Chattanooga in the United States, Wu Jianying stood in the rain of bullets and was seriously injured, but finally miraculously survived. Cixi left a deep impression on him, thinking that Wu Jianying was really a "lucky general", and pointed out her personal maid to him, and the "intention" was excellent. And the "Yitou" is something that the Queen Mother attaches great importance to.
In addition, Wu Jianying's department is stationed in the Fengtai camp, Gongwei Jingshi, located in the elbow and armpit of the henchman, and there is also a need to be encircled, Yu'er marries him, and he has the possibility of becoming a real "own person".
But this "blind date", Wu Jianying is not even in Tianjin, and Guan Zhuofan does not seem to have made any special arrangements for this, which proves that Wu has not entered Guan Zhuofan's "candidate list" at all.
As for Ixan. Cixi liked him for a simple reason. Or that: he's the flag man.
Yu'er is both a flag man. is also the person of the Queen Mother, pointing out to Ixan, the icing on the cake, whether it is for cultivating the vitality of the Eight Banners, but also for the future development of Ixan himself. And the Queen Mother thus took Ixan as her own private, and it was natural and logical - at least. It is much easier than Yu'er marrying a Han Chinese.
Yu'er's husband, since she has to choose among the generals of the Xuan Army, Cixi has already made up her mind that Guan Zhuofan is in charge, but about Ixan, she still tested Guan Zhuofan's tone. However, Guan Zhuofan said: "I heard that Ixan's family is kissing him. ”
"Talking about pro" is not a lie, Ixan was born poor. After the beginning, the matchmaker who came to propose marriage had already broken through the threshold. But it stands to reason that this doesn't affect anything - since "I'm talking about pro". It's just that it hasn't been decided yet, and the Queen Mother will marry her, so there is no problem at all.
In fact, the Queen Mother thought to herself: even if it is decided, so what?
In the original time and space, in her later years, Cixi did such a thing: she pointed out Ronglu's only daughter to Zaifeng, who attacked Prince Alcohol - Pu Yi's father, the later regent.
Rong Lu was Cixi's No. 1 confidant and the No. 1 person in the dynasty; Zaifeng is the hereditary prince, and at the same time, Yu Lafayette is both a nephew and a nephew. This marriage, from an outsider's point of view, is really no longer a good match.
However, Zaifeng's biological mother, Liu Jiashi, the side of the old alcohol king, couldn't agree!
At that time, the old alcohol king's concubine Fujin, that is, Cixi's sister Yehenara. Wanzhen has long passed away, and Liu Jiashi is the main mother of the Alcohol Palace. The mistress ran to beg Cixi to "take back her life", because: Zaifeng has already been engaged! Moreover, the man's family has already "let go of Dading" - as mentioned above, for Manchurians, this is equivalent to going to the Civil Affairs Bureau to pull a certificate, and it is almost a drink.
However, Cixi pointed out that this marriage was a conspiracy.
First, it is necessary to encompass and reward honor.
Second, at that time, the great powers were quite hypocritical about Zaifeng, the emperor's younger brother, especially the German Emperor Wilhelm II. At that time, the Gengzi Rebellion had just stopped, and the idea of the foreigners was that Dezong, who was imprisoned, would approve of "brother to brother" and support Zaifeng's succession. In this way, the country has a long monarch, and Cixi can no longer rely on the curtain to "discipline the government".
For the sinister intentions of foreign devils, how could Lafayette not prepare for them early? Her countermeasure is to use a powerful person of her own to "control" Zaifeng. This "powerful own person" is Rong Lu's only daughter. This trick is the same as that after the Lu family's affairs came out, the queen mother of the two palaces wanted to use a princess to "control" Guan Zhuofan.
Third, Cixi's further plan is to hope that Guarjia and Zaifeng can have a son - Ronglu is surnamed Guerjia, and Guan Beile is his own family - Dezong will either be abolished or Xu, and this little thing will succeed him. In this way, before the emperor took office, he still had a lot of time to "train the government". And Zaifeng is the most incapable and assertive one, giving the name of "regent" and using it as a puppet envoy, which is easy to use.
With such a huge plan, how can you "take back your life"?
So, Rong Lu's lady finally pointed it out to Zaifeng. Zaifeng's marriage, which was originally a foregone conclusion, was broken up.
How can I not talk about this matter in the future, when the news came out, two serious consequences immediately occurred: first, Zaifeng's fiancée who did not pass through the door committed suicide by poisoning; Second, Liu Jia's guilty gods suddenly became crazy - his spirit was abnormal from then on.
This kind of thing, in this time and space, the Queen Mother has not had time to do it, but "the edge has been revealed". This is an important reason why Yu'er is in a hurry to marry herself off - in this regard, the Queen Mother is really "unpredictable" and terrifying.
Straight to the point.
The sentence in Cixi's heart, "It's decided, so what", of course, can't be spoken. Guan Zhuofan's words, although euphemistic, the meaning is very clear: in this matter, he did not put Ixan in his pocket.
As a result, only Jiang De remained.
Guan Zhuofan is so blue-eyed to Jiang De?
Jiang De is not Guan Zhuofan's descendant, but after he arrived in Shanghai, he switched from Li Hengsong's green camp at that time. But it is precisely because Jiang De is not the old foundation of the Chengnan horse team, he has no old friendship to set, and he is grateful for Guan Zhuofan's kindness, so every time he encounters a war, he dedicates his efforts, is single-minded, and loyal.
Especially in the Battle of Chattanooga in the United States, in the most critical battle to attack the missionary's main peak, Jiang De led his German regiment, took the lead, braved the intensive artillery fire of the Southern Army, and launched a charge over and over again. In the last charge, Jiang De really had the heart of death, and finally rushed to the high ground of the missionary's main peak first. Elaborating on the reason, Jiang Deshi is the first contributor to the Battle of Chattanooga.
In the Battle of Chattanooga, the density and intensity of the firepower of the Xuan army were unprecedented, and it can be said that it was the first time that the Xuan army, a "semi-modern army", truly accepted the baptism of modern warfare. Before, the German regiment had not had time to fight the Chikmoga Campaign, and basically had no real combat experience in modern warfare, and in the face of the overwhelming rain of iron and fire, if the commander wavered slightly, he would not be able to hold out. It is not uncommon for the collapse of the whole regiment to lead to a reversal of the tide of the war, and even affect the entire plan to go to the United States.
At that time, the Lookout Peak on the left flank of the Southern Army of the Ixanta Missionary Highlands, after attacking it, was hit hard by artillery fire from the main peak, and could not support it, so it once asked the headquarters for instructions, should it be withdrawn first? Yixan followed Guan Zhuofan from birth to death, and he was by no means a war-fearing person, but compared with Jiang De, there were subtle differences after all.
Also, Guan Zhuofan didn't want Ixan to marry Yu'er, for the same reason as Cixi wanted to point out Yu'er to him, and the reason was actually the same: Ixan was a banner man.
The idol of the flag man, just me Guan Zhuofan alone, and then get one out to share the limelight, whether he is one gram or two grams, it is not appropriate. Also, if Ixan is anyone's private property, it must be my Guan Zhuofan's private and not anyone else's, including my dear royal sister's.
Guan Zhuofan is not distrustful or disvalues Ixan, on the contrary, he will continue to entrap Ixan. However, there is no need to take Yu'er to do this. Guan Baylor has another means.
Ixan's surname is Tatara, this surname is not a big surname among the Manchurians, but there is still a famous person in the same sect - Concubine Ligui. So, isn't it clear whose path Ixan should "take"? If he really marries Yu'er, there will be some kind of conflict - between the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother Ligui...... Ahem. In this way, it will inevitably weaken the efficacy of Guan Zhuofan's use of the surname "Tatara" to make a fuss.
As for Wu Jianying, his personal loyalty to Guan Zhuofan is not under Jiang De, but there is still a clear difference between the two.
