Zhang Guoliang was almost frightened by Monk Greenqin's words, he almost couldn't stand steadily, his hands kept shaking, and he said in a loud voice: "Lord, lord, don't hurt me, don't hurt me!"

Although he is a rough man, he also knows that since the change of the three feudatories, there has not been a Han king in the Qing Dynasty, which is roasting himself on the fire!

He is just a real commander-in-chief, and it is just a second grade in the Qing Dynasty, and any Han people are bigger than his title, not to mention that the Qing Dynasty is a tradition of emphasizing literature and light on martial arts, and now Monk Greenqin does not love him, but roasts him on the stove: "Lord, I can't afford this big responsibility, you can reward me with a real lack of admiral!"

But Monk Lingqin has his own thoughts, he is careful and knows the severity: "Lao Zhang, the Qing Dynasty has reached this point, do you still cherish a prince?" Since the rebellion of the three feudatories, the situation of our Qing Dynasty has not been better than today, when the country is in danger, Lao Zhang hangs the hope of the world, and he has to be the king to tear the land. ”

Although the person next to Shengbao likes to be brutal, if he thinks about it, he is more open-minded than anything else, and he immediately persuaded: "Lao Zhang, the prince is right, whether we can defend the country is up to you, Lao Zhang!"

He told an old story: "In the past, Lord Xianfeng once said in advance, if anyone recovers Jinling and exterminates the long hair, no matter how Manchu and Han will not hesitate to be crowned the king's reward!" Since Your Majesty has opened this golden mouth, Lao Zhang, if you don't seal the king and tear the earth, the army will be uneasy!"

It is indeed a beautiful thing to boost morale very much, and the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Yong'an has condensed the military spirit at once, and now if Zhang Guoliang can really be crowned king, he will naturally have great benefits in victory.

There are so many iron hat princes in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Guoliang can be a Han man who can be crowned the king and tear the soil, he Shengbao also strives to protect the southeast, why not seal an iron hat king, and Hechun, a Manchurian, also understands.

His name is above Zhang Guoliang, but he also has to admit the fact that the situation in the Jiangnan camp is completely supported by Zhang Guoliang alone. After crossing to the north, he still had to rely on Zhang Guoliang, a tiger general, so he agreed with the monk king's opinion: "I am also willing to play together, the situation of the country is extremely extreme, and the meritorious heroes will not be crowned kings and tear the soil." How can you rest assured!"

Although Zhang Guoliang knew that the king was roasted on the fire, you must know that even when Wu Sangui's army pointed directly at the Yangtze River during the change of the three feudatories, no Han people were able to crown the king, but he couldn't persuade Seng Lingqin, Shengbao and Hechun to take turns to persuade each other, and finally hesitated.

For a person from a reckless background like him, it is his life's desire to be crowned a king and worship the marquis, not to mention among the three people who persuaded each other. Monk Greenqin is the king of the Mongolian county, and Shengbao and Hechun are both full of nobles, it can be said that he has high hopes for the full of nobles, so he finally relieved: "Thanks to the three adults, I dare not obey my orders, but now the red thief is blazing in the southeast half of the wall, and I am the king alone, which is not enough to calm the heart of the world." And one more should be crowned king!"

"You mean Zeng Disheng, right?" Monk Lingqin hesitated: "I'll think about it again." ”

Even if Zhang Guoliang is crowned king, he is just a martial artist, and he has no reason to be old. has no connections, only some two generals, not enough trouble, and Zeng Guofan's exploits, even considering his defeat in abandoning Jiangxi, just his repeated breakthroughs in the Taiping Army are enough to be knighted.

It's a pity that Zeng Guofan's connections are all over the government and the opposition, and it is already a situation that cannot be lost, as soon as he thinks of this, the center of the Qing Dynasty must do everything possible to suppress Zeng Guofan. Don't let him become the second Cao Cao, it's just that after several major defeats of the Qing army in the southeast, the Hong army has swept the world, and Zeng Guofan must also have a suitable name downstream.

What's more, now Zeng Guofan has suffered setbacks one after another and abandoned Hunan, so Seng Lingqin gritted his teeth: "Zeng Disheng has a miracle in the country. If it weren't for the success of his sons in Hunan and Hubei, I'm afraid that Shenzhou would have fallen today, and it would be better for us to protect the king and tear the soil together!" …,

Shengbao is more sophisticated: "Lao Zhang and Zeng Disheng's deeds are enough to be crowned kings, but they are less thin, so it is better to choose one more person among the Manmeng generals to play together." ”

This is the most appropriate way, and Seng Lingqin agrees to deal with it like this: "This is very good!"

It's just that I don't know what kind of waves such a letter will cause in Beijing, but Seng Lingqin knows that he has to do it.

It is not because Zhang Guoliang's exploits are enough to be crowned king, but because the southeast is in danger, and not being crowned king is not enough to inspire people.

……

At this time, Zeng Guofan did not know that Zhang Guoliang and Monk Lingqin were preparing to roast him on the fire, although he formed the Hunan Army and the Taiping Army to fight to the death, a big reason was that Emperor Xianfeng really promised privately that anyone who could restore Jinling and pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should be crowned king.

He doesn't have the luxury of being a king at all, he just wants to maintain the current situation, but these Hunan generals under him are venting their grievances to him again and again.

Bao Chao, the most courageous in the Hunan army, complained all over his stomach: "Shilang, this time you really miscalculated, if you really attack the city of Nanchang, our fifty battalions of new and old Hunan troops, I'm afraid there won't even be any scum left!"

"How good is it now?" It was Li Xubin, who took the lead in retreating as soon as he took the lead: "This counterattack on Nanchang, five battalions of troops were broken, more than 1,000 soldiers were killed and wounded, and the army was uncertain.

As soon as Bao Chao heard the word "Sichuanbian", he became interested, and he said repeatedly: "Shilang, I thought that the two lakes could not be defended, it was better to retreat to Sichuan, the country of abundance is enough to defend!"

"Before the red thieves entered the two lakes, you advocated retreating to Sichuan, what is your intention!" Immediately, Li Yuandu jumped out and said: "Our Hunan army should live and die with Hunan!"

Bao Chao was also not polite, he looked at each other angrily: "It's up to you Li Ciqing?" In the last battle of Quzhou, how long did your 4,000 Anyue army block before the red thieves? If Xiangzhong is full of people like you and Li Ciqing, it is better to retreat to Sichuan as soon as possible!"

He was a native of Sichuan, so he was naturally happy to see the plan to withdraw to Sichuan, but the old and new generals in Hunan were unwilling to retreat to Sichuan, so they suddenly quarreled.

Zeng Guofan was turned over by the disputes of these generals under him, and these generals didn't take him as a squire in their eyes at all, and even prepared to fight.

This is completely the result of the previous battles of the Hunan army in the north, especially the previous time Zeng Guofan pushed to recover Nanchang, but did not expect Shi Yunqing to be unreliable at all, the Hunan army just entered the Jiangxi territory and was hit by the second army, after a battle, the whole army directly collapsed back to Hunan, just the infantry battalion that was beaten across as many as three people, the whole army casualties and more than 2,000 people.

These Hunan army commanders finally broke through from Nanchang City and regained a little strength, but they lost half of this counteroffensive, and they were angry in their hearts, but they didn't want to vent directly to Zeng Guofan, but they just roared during the military discussion before the battle.

Zeng Guofan saw that they were arguing more and more, and there was a lot of momentum, so he quickly smashed it on the table heavily, and then said, "Stop!" Listen to me!"

It's just that although everyone stopped talking, they didn't think that Zeng Guofan said any good words, but Zeng Guofan, a Taoist gentleman, has now staged a good show of suicide, so he pulled out his waist knife and shouted: "You are all pillars of the country, as long as you are sincerely united, why worry about the red thief will not be destroyed, and now attack each other into what system, but it is a pity that I Zeng a scholar led the army, and he was defeated, and the soldiers were lost, and he had no face to see the elders of Hunan and Hubei, so he could only ......"

Saying that, he slashed at his neck with a snowy waist knife, but although Li Yuandu had a big dispute with Zeng Guofan, and was even ready to stand on his own, but among the people, he was the one who knew Zeng Guofan the most, and when he saw Zeng Guofan's tear-jerking performance, he immediately clenched Zeng Guofan's hand and said loudly: "Squire, Squire, you don't have to be angry, we all listen to what you say, we all listen!" …,

Zeng Guofan's face was already full of tears, and when he saw that all the commanders knelt down, he knew that this scene was not smashed: "Ciqing, you don't have to persuade me, I will lose my troops and generals, and I will not be ashamed to see the Jiangdong fathers, but at least I have the courage of the overlord of Chu, and I will not be looked down upon by my children in the future!"

Li Yuandu cooperated very well, he said: "Shilang, you are wrong, now the country is in danger, no one is available, the rise and fall of the country is pinned on Shilang you alone, although there have been repeated setbacks, now the two provinces of Hunan and Hubei are still complete, or don't mention that the red thief is just rushing to the southeast, and there are still big things to do." ”

He said bitterly: "What's more, Xiang Yu was able to cross the river decisively, and with the power of Jiangdong, it is unknown who has it in the world...... What's more, now our Hunan people still have Hunan and Hubei provinces, although the red thieves and the Yi people fought to a draw, but there are many losses, as long as we are sincere and united, the armament is armed, and there will naturally be a victory in Xiangtan. ”

Zhao Liewen also knew that it was time for him to stand up: "Yes! There is no need to be pessimistic, with the sincerity of tens of millions of soldiers and civilians in Hunan and Hubei provinces, what is the trouble for Liu Jiehu! Now the key is to unite with Lord Hu of Hubei and prepare early!"

As soon as Hu Linyi was mentioned, Zeng Guofan immediately regained his confidence: "That's right, you are not worried about having no soldiers, no food and no food, I have someone who fights this face, and I want to go to Hu Runzhi to borrow enough soldiers, food and grass, so that you don't have to worry." ”

Everyone's grievances, most of which lie in the fact that they finally recovered a little capital, but lost half of the brainless counterattack under the command of Zeng Guofan, as soon as they heard that Zeng Guofan could get a supplement from Hu Linyi, it was also half relieved, Bao Chao said: "Shilang, don't worry, as long as the soldiers and horses are replenished, our Thunder Army will be enough to block the Red Thief Brigade of soldiers." ”

He glanced at Li Yuandu again and said meaningfully: "It's not like some battalions that are crushed with one blow. ”

He was arrogant here, and Zeng Guofan was also much relieved, he said again and again: "Rest assured, although the counterattack on Nanchang suffered a small setback, the red thief was distracted by the changes between Shi Yunqing and Shi Dakai, and he was not able to conquer Hunan and Hubei in a short time, and I took this opportunity to train more than 50 battalions of soldiers!"

It's just that as soon as the words were spoken, there was already an urgent report over there: "The second army of the Red Thieves has extinguished most of Shi Yunqing's righteous division, and it seems that there is a big attack on Hunan Province!"
