These words can only be thought in my heart, of course, I can't point to King Gong in front of Xu Geng. Moreover, Uren is a Mongolian, although he is broad, but as a master of science, he is a leader of the Mongols, and at the same time represents a large group of "Cheng Zhu disciples", which cannot be easily offended.

So Guan Zhuofan didn't say much, just nodded very deeply: "Uncle Xing, I know." ”

"Well, these are still bright, and there is another dark, which is also a headache." Xu Geng looked at him and said, "But for you, it's not necessarily a bad thing." ”

Oh? Guan Zhuofan couldn't help but be interested, and poured a full cup for Xu Geng, waiting for him to continue.

The dark one originated from jealousy and dissatisfaction with the Hunan army, so even King Gong, who supported Zeng Guofan, also had some opinions, thinking that he relied too much on the Hunan army and left others out in the cold.

The first person to feel left out was the Mongols - the Iron Hat King, the famous monk Grinqin, who was both a representative of the Mongolian Eight Banners. His dissatisfaction stemmed from an edict from the imperial court ordering Zeng Guofan to move to the division to suppress the bandits, thinking that it was a very shameful thing for him to be robbed of the limelight by Zeng Guofan as a prince.

The bannermen in Beijing were indignant at the great rewards of the Zeng brothers and the Xianghuai generals. They did not think of the ten years of hardship and high achievements of the Hunan army, but thought that the scenery of the Eight Banners was now covered by the glory of the Hunan army. Coupled with Zeng Guoquan's wanton behavior in Jiangning City, it is even more important for this group of people to grasp the truth, and they can't help but make a big fuss.

Fortunately, there is also a Guan Zhuofan with a yellow flag, and a Xuan army wearing the hat of "flag camp". In their opinion. Even if there is no auspicious word camp of Zeng Laojiu. Take this Xuan army to fight Jiangning. It's still at your fingertips! Therefore, they did not think that the wealth of the Hunan army was deserved, but thought that the Hunan army had made a huge profit.

The combination of these two shili formed an undercurrent of hostility to the Hunan army in Beijing. Strangely, there are quite a few Han soldiers who hold the same opinion as them, and even put forward an even more sensational statement, that is, the Shili of the Hunan army has really reached the point of "shaking the country's foundation".

Think about it. Their views cannot be said to be unreasonable. Needless to say, Hunan is the nest of the Hunan army, Guangdong governor Guo Songtao is Zeng Guofan's best friend, Zhejiang governor Zuo Zongtang, Jiangxi governor Shen Baozhen, are all from Zeng Guofan's scene, Zeng Guoquan, who newly rewarded the governor of Hubei, is his younger brother, Anhui governor Li Hongzhang, who led the Huai army. It was his protégé, Liu Rong, the governor of Shaanxi. Yang Yuebin, who was born as a general of the Hunan Army and was about to go to Gansu on the orders of the court, started as a sailor for Zeng Guofan. The main force of more than 100,000 land divisions of the Hunan army is known as invincible, and the Yangtze River Water Division was founded by Zeng Guofan, controlling the total army of eight people, rampaging for 5,000 miles, and the limelight is also unparalleled for a while.

Since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, such shili, not to mention that no Han has ever had it, even among the banner people, there has never been such a person.

But how can I say that it's not a bad thing for me? Guan Zhuofan thought, I don't know what Xu Geng is referring to.

"Yixuan, this time you can overpower Zeng Yuanfu and become the Marquis of Jinfeng, of course, it is the grace of the Queen Mother and the support of the Prince. But apart from that, do you know who's the happiest? ”

Guan Zhuofan's heart was empty, and he said that it was naturally a pair of sisters-in-law in my Guan family's mansion.

"Who is it?"

"It's the group of people I mentioned above, they think that the decision of the Queen Mother and the prince did not make the Hunan army exclusive to the United States, and it is so wise!" Xu Gengshen smiled and said, "Speaking of which, there is no shortage of your old acquaintances in it. ”

The Mongols were important in the capital, and in addition to the Uren, there were two more. One is the eldest son of the monk Grinqin, the former minister of the imperial court, Belle Boyan Namuhu, who met when they captured Sushun together on the night of the Miyun Change. The other is Rui Chang, who is the commander of the Yamen of the infantry army, who has been a "colleague" with him.

Among the relatives and nobles of the banner people, Prince Rui Renshou is the leader, and he can be regarded as the person who has been through hardships in Miyun overnight. Renshou is the order of the Zongren Mansion, he is not confused, among the princes, can be called capable, but to the Han people south of the Yellow River, there is an inexplicable hostility, and Guan Zhuofan as a signboard, all day long, as long as he talks to people in the inner room, after drinking two more glasses, he can't help but blow the sky.

"The third child of the Guan family, I grew up watching him! Do you know what Xuan Jun is? That's the original Seongnam Horse Team! When it comes to excitement, he always has to pat his thigh, and he dances with his hands and foams at the mouth, "The sticky rod guard is horizontal enough, right?" Swish! Take it! Alone! ”

It turns out that there is still such a group of people praising themselves, but Foye? Woe to you? Guan Zhuofan looked at the sly smile on Xu Geng's face, and was speechless for a while.

In the past few days, Xu Geng has been accompanied by Zhao Jingxian, and he has traveled everywhere to see the mountains and rivers. Both of them are famous and well-known, and they are both familiar with military affairs, so they can talk very well, except for the concession, they can't go, and they go to other places one by one.

Mrs. Luoshi personally brought two cars to pick up the "sister" Hu Qingqing. The current Yamen of the Domain Division has been changed to the Yamen of the Governor of Jiangsu, and the wing room in the backyard is decorated with a new look by Zhang Shun with a group of subordinates, and the main wing room is even more clothed in red and hung with colors, waiting for the Hou Ye to make a new house for Hehuan.

Guan Zhuofan looked at the empty courtyard and shook his head, Hu Qingqing was not there, and this courtyard really lacked that warmth and liveliness.

He still went back to the west wing where he was accustomed to living, half leaning on the bed, thinking quietly by himself.

I was in August of the tenth year of Xianfeng, and I crossed over, and it was still 1860. It is now June of the second year of Tongzhi, 1863, that is, it has been nearly three years.

At the beginning, a nine-rank foreign commissioner Ling Ling stayed in Beijing for more than three months, mixing the position of a battalion commander. And from Kaiba to Rehe, to the thrilling coup d'état, to the promotion to the second rank of the general soldier, the imperial guard, it took another eight months.

In the next two or three months, he was rolling in the officialdom in the capital, until he asked himself to change from a military position to a civilian official, promoted his own horse team, and went south to Shanghai.

From the time he left Beijing, to now as the third waiter, the governor of Jiangsu, it has taken more than a year and a half.

It's not bad, he silently said to himself, the opportunity to seize it, all seized.

So far, he can only be called a historical speculator, if that alone is concerned, successful.

The Xuan army under his command has reached the scale of 30,000 people. If you count the sailors, not only are the soldiers strong and the horses strong, but in terms of combat power alone, you should be sure of winning against any army in the country.

The team of civil servants can be regarded as having a small prototype. Zhao Jingxian, Liu Xunjiao, Libin, Yang Fang, Jin Yulin, Bian Ning, plus Qian Yunqiu, Ren Tianzhu, Huang Defa, everyone is worthy of a "capable member".

As for foreign affairs, he has become famous, there is a Hurd in Beijing and a consular corps in Shanghai, all of whom are willing to deal with him.

Site? Su Song is too often in town, and the granary of the world is also - "Su Changshu, the world is full", not in vain. Shanghai, the world's cash cabinet, now that the war is over, this cash cabinet will become more abundant.

In the capital, there is the trust of the two palaces, the support of King Gong, the confidential friends of Cao Yuying and Xu Gengshen, and now there is the support of another group of relatives and nobles.

So, can you start to transform into a "remodeler of history"?

The Xuan army is strong, it depends on who it is compared with, if it is compared with Britain and France, I am afraid that it is not an order of magnitude.

The fire in the Old Summer Palace is still burning.

"I want to rewrite the Spring and Autumn Period with a big pen", this is my own conclusive words.

I'm going to rewrite this country, I'm going to rewrite this court.

Write it in my own way.

Guan Zhuofan's eyes were clear and bright, and it wasn't until he remembered his "back house" that he began to be a little vague.

Nahu Qingqing is a concubine, it's time to write a letter and tell the two sisters-in-law in Jingli, I think they won't be jealous, but will be happy for themselves.

As for the twenty-seven-year-old "Yi Guifei", as soon as she settles down this time, she will return to Beijing to see Her Majesty, is there any other meaning in it? Anyway, whether you want to talk about military affairs or political affairs, as long as it is not a sexual matter, then everything will be fine.

He slowly spread out a snow-white Xue Tao note on the case, took up the pen and ink, and wrote a folded draft from his Majesty.

"The imperial guard, Jiangsu governor Guan Zhuofan played: the minister is far away from Beijing, and his service is outside, and he has been repeatedly favored, and the meaning of the lord is deepened day by day. I respectfully ask that after the affairs of the province of Su are settled one by one, Xingchi Beique will bow and be kind. Once approved, they should take turns to be on duty as a regular guard, so as to fulfill their duties, and personally serve Lunyin, listen to the instructions, so that everything can be followed, and it will be beneficial in official business. For this reason, I bowed and begged. ”

This letter, of course, was written to the little emperor, but when he wrote a sentence to the guards on duty, he just thought of the palace tent in the sea of flowers in Ruyizhou, and all kinds of unbearable situations were in front of him.

This time, the literary thinking is sluggish, and he can't write any good sentences. After writing it, I felt more and more that the words "day by day" were particularly dazzling, and there always seemed to be something wrong and weird.
