Hami, State Agency.

"Big shopkeeper, call from Turpan." Zhao Liewen walked into the room with a spring breeze on his face, "Tang Bingcan's soldiers will recover Turpan without blood!" ”

Yi Zhi, who was standing in front of the large map, turned around, took the telegram and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Originally, I was worried that Tang Bingcan would actively respond to Feng Renxuan's rebellion, but it seems that I was too worried. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Liewen said with a smile: "The big shopkeeper let Feng Renxuan stand on his own as king, which is undoubtedly a huge test ......for the civil and military officials in the northwest. ”

"It's not a test, it's a test." Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Zuo Feng and the others have been sitting in the northwest for a long time, and many local officials have been raised by them, and this time the rectification of the northwest will inevitably be a big blood change, but it is also necessary to retain some officials who are familiar with the situation in the northwest. ”

Speaking of this, he sighed lightly, "The two northwestern provinces are located in a corner, and they are quite far away from the inner province, with the opening of the Eurasian railway, the northwest is not only the most important military border area but also an important commercial and economic channel. ”

Zhao Liewen didn't answer the bombing talk, and poured a cup of tea for himself, in his opinion, this move is not only a test, but also a role in dividing the Northwest Army, Tang Bingcan's recovery of Turpan is actually parting ways with Feng Renxuan.

Of course, this time is undoubtedly a dilemma for Tang Bingcan, if one is not good, it may be a catastrophe, but fortunately, Tang Bingcan made the most correct choice.

After taking a few sips of tea, Zhao Liewen said tentatively: "The situation in Xinjiang is not optimistic now, do you need reinforcements to Turpan?" ”

"There's no hurry." Yi Zhizhi said: "Zuo Zongtang will also have a telegram soon, and I will talk about the situation in Xinjiang in detail." ”

Zuo Zongtang's telegram was only half an hour late, and in the telegram, Zuo Zongtang made a detailed report on the situation in Xinjiang and pleaded for the rapid transfer of troops to the northwest to quell the rebellion.

It was this telegram that Yi Zhizhi had a clearer judgment of the situation in Xinjiang, and Su Shun was more concerned about the safety of the Empress Dowager and the emperor, and said very dissatisfiedly: "What kind of reputation did Zuo Zongtang make, how could he let the rebels surround the Governor's Palace?" ”

"It's no wonder that Zuo Jigao." Yi Zhizhi said: "Zhu Shanhai is a man, and he is good at clever words, he must have won the trust of the queen mother, otherwise he would not easily surround the governor's palace." ”

Su Shun also undoubtedly attacked Zuo Zongtang, and said: "The top priority is to solve the difficulties of the Governor's Palace, if there is any accident, I am afraid that it will be easy to be criticized." ”

"You're concerned about it." Yi Zhizhi said: "There is no danger between the queen mother and the emperor, after all, Zhu Shanhai is a man, will he kill the king?" ”

Zhao Liewendao followed the conversation and said: "Since there is no danger between the empress dowager and the emperor, the top priority is to quell the rebellion, the longer it drags on, the greater the harm to the northwest." ”

Yi Zhizu said slowly: "Reply to Zuo Jigao and Tang Bingcan, join Feng Renxuan to establish himself as king, declare self-reliance in the northwest, and cooperate with Feng Renxuan to exterminate Zhu Shanhai's rebellious army." ”

Hearing this, Su Shun couldn't help but be anxious, "In this way, isn't it putting the queen mother and the emperor in danger?" ”

"Don't worry, it's going to be fine." Yi Zhisuff said slowly: "It's nothing more than a desperate situation, with the queen mother and the emperor threatening, let them live, and promise." As he spoke, he got up and walked over to his desk and wrote a telegram with his pen.

Turpan, outside the city.

Tang Bingcan, accompanied by a group of officers, patrolled the position everywhere to check the progress of the fortifications, and Hami-Turpan was a necessary place for the interior to enter the two northwestern provinces, and Zhu Shanhai was very likely to mobilize troops to fight for it, and he did not dare to be careless at all.

"Commander, Hami Midian." A communications officer stepped forward and whispered.

After receiving the telegram, Tang Bingcan couldn't believe his eyes, could it be that Feng Renxuan's self-proclaimed king was at the behest of the king of Zhennan? But even they couldn't contact Hami before, Feng Renxuan was far away in Anxi, how did he contact Hami?

Could it be a cable telegraph via Russia? This is possible, thinking of this, he couldn't help but be afraid for a while, if he echoed Feng Renxuan before, what would be the result waiting for him?

His back was cold, but fortunately he wasn't confused!

In turn, he was a little happy, since Feng Renxuan was not a real rebellion, he didn't have to worry about the two armies facing each other on the battlefield in the future and killing each other.

Gong Ning, according to the Inspectorate of the Embassy.

Looking at the telegram in his hand, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, since Feng Renxuan did not rebel, then the situation in the northwest could not be much worse no matter how bad it was, and it was not difficult to join Feng Renxuan even if he wanted to forcibly suppress Zhu Shanhai's rebellion, besides, it was not necessarily necessary to use force.

However, what is the intention of instructing Feng Renxuan to establish himself as king? To test the reaction of the bordering countries? Or is it a test of the loyalty of the officials of the Northwest?

He didn't think much about it, after all, after this incident, he was definitely going to be transferred out of the northwest.

After pondering for a long time, he instructed the outside world: "Come here, go to the governor's palace, and say that I have something important to discuss." ”

Liu Changxing came quickly, and after entering the door to salute, he smiled and said, "Lord Ministry, but you have changed your mind?" ”

Zuo Zongtang glanced at him and said in a deep voice: "Turpan called, Tang Bingcan has openly declared that he has taken refuge in Feng Renxuan. ”

This news was really a bit unexpected to him, Liu Changxing was shocked, in this way, Feng Renxuan's strength became bigger and bigger, and they were really likely to work in vain.

"Since Tang Bingcan has taken refuge in Feng Renxuan, it is very likely that he will lead his troops to attack Gong Ning." Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "Right now, Gongning City can be said to be in danger. ”

Liu Changxing didn't doubt Zuo Zongtang's words, Tang Bingcan was originally Feng Renxuan's confidant, and it was normal for him to defect to Feng Renxuan when the Northwest Army was almost a collective rebellion.

Now that Tang Bingcan has taken refuge in Feng Renxuan after occupying Turpan, it can be said that he has forced Zuo Zongtang to a dead end, and in this case, the other party has only a dead end except to cooperate with them.

After a slight groan, Liu Changxing sighed lightly: "Gongning City is in danger, but the two sides in the city are guarding against each other, and the situation is like .....fire and water. ”

Just to force him to comply, Zuo Zongtang was secretly amused in his heart, but said with a sad face: "Feng Renxuan has a strong army, even if we join forces, it will only support it for a few more days." ”

"If Lord Ministries are in favor of the independence of the northwest and support our Commander Zhu, the situation will change again." Liu Changxing said unhurriedly: "Feng Renxuan is the king of his own right, and he will inevitably face Yuan Qi's conquest, how dare he consume his strength with us in large-scale internal friction?" We can negotiate with them and work together for great things.

With the support of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor, and with the support of the ministers, we are fully capable of controlling the situation in the northwest. ”

After pretending to hesitate and struggle, Zuo Zongtang said: "Arrange for the old man to go to the Governor's Mansion to meet the Queen Mother and the Emperor." ”
