Chapter 132: Manchuria Dare to Fight
In the news that Monk Greenqin came in to send to Xianfeng, there were not a few days that made Xianfeng feel comfortable, but the Jiangnan camp arrived and sent him a good mood. And this piece of music is very novel, there is a very strange painting in it, the scenery and people in the painting are black and white, but they all want to be the same, very novel.
"Senior brother! In the second day of February, the Jiangnan camp stormed the city of Nanjing. Guo Xing'a, who went to Hechun and quit the line, also participated in the war, and once captured the Shence Gate in Nanjing, although he did not defend it, but also severely damaged the long-haired bandits. Xianfeng's throne was completely won by his teacher Du Shoutian, so he was very courteous to the teacher's family, and often called Du Han "senior brother" in private.
"Congratulations to the emperor!" Du Han smiled and bowed to Xianfeng.
"The south side is playing well, this Guoxinga really has the courage of Xinbu, it's rare!" Xianfeng is not emotional, it is not good, except for Seng Lingqin and Hechun, which is not bad, and the banner people are also Taqibu and Duolonga under the account of Zeng Guofan. It's a pity that Tazib died early, and only Dorona is still holding on. Now that Guoxing is out again, Xianfeng is really pleased, and he still prefers to believe in the bannerman.
"Yuting has to bother the emperor to save the minister, and the minister has to avoid him these days!" Du Han smiled bitterly and bowed to Xianfeng again.
Su Shun originally felt that Guoxing'a was a young man who was rampant and had to polish it to become a big weapon, so he was ready to transfer Guoxing'a to Henan to suppress bandits. Du Han originally agreed with Su Shun's opinion, after all, Guo Xing'a is a small leader, and his subordinates are only 2,000 private soldiers, so where does the central minister need to work for him frequently. However, when the edict was held alone, Xianfeng and Du Han studied the military situation of the Anglo-French Yi people played by Seng Lingqin, and Du Han suggested that Guo Xing'a should return to Gu'an without much consideration. Now that Guoxinga is quite famous, and Gu'an is his station, which is near the passage from Tianjin to Beijing, it is appropriate to transfer Guoxinga back. Out of consideration for his own safety, Xianfeng immediately agreed to Du Han's idea, which led to the official document of Guoxing's return to the garrison, and it was also in order to improve the armament of Gyeonggi that he made an exception for Guoxinga to bring all his subordinates. But Du Han's idea was purely improvised, and he didn't discuss it with Su Shun, and after Su Shun knew about it, he blocked Du Han almost every day, asking Du Han to give him an explanation. Facing his old friend who played a bachelor's role, Du Han could only walk around, and now he took the opportunity to ask Xianfeng for help.
"Hehehe! Su Liu and you are in trouble, this kid is Bahu! I'm going to discipline him! You are a loyal heart to me, walking straight, what are you hiding from him? Xianfeng's virtue was revealed again.
"Your Majesty!" Du Han smiled bitterly, Su Shun was born as a scoundrel in the clan, the so-called Xiucai meeting soldiers is unreasonable, Du Han is really afraid of Su Shun.
Xianfeng gave tea, and the two of them chatted about the current situation in the Heart Cultivation Palace. Suddenly, a eunuch walked into the main hall and reported that Su Shun asked to see him, Xianfeng nodded and motioned for Xuan Su Shun to come in.
"It's not him on duty today! Why did this splash come in a hurry, and I just told him about you! Xianfeng smiled and fiddled with the tea leaves.
"The slave is obedient, please say hello to the master!" The anger on Su Shun's face could be seen by everyone, and even the voice of asking Xianfeng for peace was a little unsubmissive.
"What's wrong with you sloppy, so angry. Come, I have a good news, you can take it and see it! Let's get on fire! "Xianfeng is still a very generous person.
Su Shun bowed down to take the fold, and after looking at it a few times, his face was even more ugly, if it wasn't for Xianfeng's face, he would definitely throw the fold to the ground.
"What's wrong?" Xianfeng also thinks it's not a taste, but in that strange painting, it's obviously the city gate of Nanjing, so it shouldn't be fake!
"The slave asked the master, and immediately issued an order to take Guo Xing'a from his post and question him, and severely discuss the crime!" Su Shun fell directly to his knees.
"Jiangnan Battalion falsely reported its military exploits? Is it fake for Guoxinga to capture the city gate of Nanjing? Xianfeng was a little surprised.
"Master Qiqi, this battle is not fake, but the cause and effect of the incident are completely different from what is said in the compromise. The young man was too arrogant, delayed the fighter, implicated the friendly army, and asked the master to severely punish this rebellious man. Su Shun was furious.
"Don't talk about the severe punishment first, first explain the cause and effect to me!" Xianfeng asked Su Shun to say that he was confused, since the battle was really fought, and Guo Xing'a really entered Nanjing, what is the crime!
"Has the master ever noticed a strange picture in this twist?" Su Shun asked about Xianfeng first.
"There is indeed a picture that is very novel, so what does it matter?" The more Xianfeng listened, the more confused he became.
"Master Qiqi, the servant has asked someone, this kind of picture is called a photo, and it is taken with a camera of a strange thing made by a barbarian. Yi people say that when this thing shines on something, it can record the scene of the real mountain and the real water at a certain time. "Su Shun first came to a round of popular science.
"It's not a painting!" Xianfeng is more curious about this.
"That's Goxinga?" Xianfeng looked for it in the photo.
"Judging from the year's teeth, he should be the one who raises the sword in the middle of the prancing horse!" Du Hangang also saw the photos, and vaguely felt that the person in the middle was the youngest.
"Sure enough, the young man is heroic!" Xianfeng took a magnifying glass and looked at it, clapped his hands and praised.
"What does Goxinga's sin have to do with this picture!" The emperor of the Qing Dynasty was still able to accept new things, of course, only personally, and Kangxi was also very fond of Western science, but it was just a personal hobby.
"Guo Xing'a didn't know where he got a camera, and he pulled people everywhere to take pictures every day, and when he went to say goodbye to Hechun, he also took Hechun and Zhang Guoliang to take pictures."
He Chun entertained Guo Xing'a, who came to resign, and all the generals drank a lot of wine, Guo Xing'a lost his temper on the spot, pulling He Chun and a few people to cry and make trouble. After returning to the tent to rest, this guy actually borrowed wine to go crazy, didn't say hello to anyone, and took the department to Nanjing. The more Su Shun spoke, the more angry he became.
"Drunkenness also sees people's hearts, Guoxinga still has a loyalty and courage in the end!" Xianfeng has some good impressions of Guoxinga.
"Master, where is there a trace of loyalty in this guy, it is completely rampant. He didn't go to Nanjing to recover Nanjing, this bastard just went to Nanjing to take pictures. "Su Shun didn't do much to admonish him, and he didn't save face for Xianfeng this time.
"Ridiculous!" Xianfeng was a little confused.
This guy conquered the Shence Gate of Nanjing, and did not think of breaking the enemy to attack Nanjing, but gathered all the generals under his command under the city to take pictures. Master, please take a closer look, this guy is engraved on the door of the gods. Su Shun finally made a rough sense of Guoxing's crime.
Xianfeng took a magnifying glass and looked carefully, the potholes on the city wall were really engraved, and after seeing what was engraved, Emperor Xianfeng laughed.
"Senior brother, take a look too!" Xianfeng asked the eunuch to hand the photo and magnifying glass to Du Han.
"Hahaha! This couplet was written by a righteous man in Nanjing to scold the thief, and it is also appropriate for Guoxing to use it. Duhan also laughed. Although this matter has no practical significance, it can be a good blow to the arrogance of the bandits, and the monarchs and ministers of the Qing Dynasty can also talk about it.
"No one in the Jiangnan battalion knows about this battle, if Guo Xing'a can notify the various departments in time, and the departments break into Nanjing in time, Nanjing City may have been defeated, this guy blindly messes around and delays the fighter, it is really hateful!" Su Shun was heartbroken, and the great opportunity was missed in vain.
"It's a pity, but he doesn't have many soldiers and horses, and he can't stop the long-haired siege even if he occupies the city gate for a while!" Xianfeng is excusing Guoxing.
"The master didn't know that this guy was quite brave, until he had enough of messing around, he gave up the city gate and withdrew, and the long hair didn't hurt him in the slightest! If he had been honest and committed to the city gates, the current situation would have been very different, but this guy had abandoned the city gates, which were so easy to reach. "Guo Xing'a is now in front of Su Shun's eyes, Su Shun can eat him without soy sauce.
"What?" Xianfeng thought that Guo Xing'a was forced to withdraw, but it turned out that he ran away by himself.
"Guo Xing'a rashly sent troops only because he was drunk and then on a whim, without considering the overall situation at all. At that time, he occupied the Shence Gate, if he was willing to stick to it with his life, our army would have a lot to do, but he carved and played at a critical moment, and in the case of having an advantage, he abandoned it without authorization, which is really a great crime! Su Shun's mind is now full of four words: "Missed opportunity"!
"After all, I'm still too young! It can be regarded as meritorious, although it is true that he is guilty of delaying the fighter, at least he will greatly boost the morale of our army, forget it! Xianfeng also felt that it was a pity that he missed an opportunity to capture Nanjing in one fell swoop, but he couldn't punish Guoxing because of this, otherwise the morale of the front-line army would inevitably be frustrated. If Xing'a is punished, what will the soldiers and soldiers on the front line think, they will be punished just because they don't agree with the court's intentions, and who will be willing to fight in the future.
"All the departments of the Jiangnan battalion participated in the battle on all fronts, injured thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, and only for him to be drunk and crazy to be in the limelight, it is really ...... Alas! Su Shun calmed down and knew that Guo Xing'a could not be severely punished, but thinking about the opportunity he had received, he could only sigh.
"I can't regret it!" Su Shun looked up to the sky and sighed.
"Yuting Gong doesn't need to sigh, after all, Guo Xing'a has reversed the mentality of some imperial court soldiers and horses who are afraid of the enemy like tigers in one fell swoop. In the past six months, he has been crisscrossing the south of the Yangtze River, and a small broken leader has actually won successive battles, which is obvious to the whole army. In this battle under the city of Nanjing, all departments can also bravely participate in the battle, which shows that the military spirit is available, and it is only a matter of time before he climbs the head of Nanjing again in the future. Duhan hurriedly came out and sold it. Of course, Du Han didn't know that the Qing army who fought bravely in his mouth didn't come out of the barracks, but the Taiping army had to fight when it reached the door.
"Although I don't know the overall situation, I can still take the initiative to attack, and I still have merit!" Although Xianfeng cares more about the overall situation, it is good to win the battle.
"Don't chill the hearts of the front-line soldiers, appreciate the fruit and rejuvenate the leadership of the Arab Association, and actually grant Gu'an to participate in the leadership, and act as the Gu'an flag affairs. When I was young, I didn't appreciate the Baturu Yong, didn't I write him a battle flag last time! This time, I will give him another side, the first to dare to fight in Manchuria, to see the after-effects! The generals of all departments have also continued their efforts as one, and they should be rewarded if they win the battle! "Xianfeng has a somewhat tasteless feeling.
"Master (Emperor) Shengming!" Du Han and Su Shun were ordered at the same time.
"By the way, how did you know that?" Xianfeng suddenly wondered why Su Shun's news was so well-informed.
"Back to the master, everyone knows about this matter in the Jiangnan camp, what secrets are there, and now in the teahouse and the tile house, the storytellers are talking about "Guoyun is idle and drunk and fights Nanjing, and the Shence Gate Eagle is laughing against the king". In a few days, the city of Beijing will also have to spread. Su Shun had a little fever on his face, and in the face of Hui Yang, he had been helping Guo Xing'a openly and secretly. Guo Xing'a is messing around like this now, and he is really disgraced.
Emperor Xianfeng's eyebrows suddenly raised, and he fell into a state of speechlessness for a while.
When the Manchurian monarchs and ministers were in high spirits, Li Xiucheng was repairing the city wall, and the celebrity calligraphy and paintings engraved by Guoxing A on the Shence Gate must be disposed of, otherwise Hong Xiuquan will be angry. But these words are blown up, the deepest is actually as deep as a foot, if you want to completely dispose of it, you have to dismantle all the bricks outside the Shence Gate, the amount of work is too large.
Li Xiucheng, who had no choice, could only use soil to paste the words first, and then wrap another layer of bricks on the outside. So a few years later, Zeng Guofan, who sorted out the Nanjing city wall, had an opportunity to see the calligraphy and painting of celebrities. Of course, if there were no warships sent by Guoxing'a on the Yangtze River at that time, Zeng Wenzhenggong's mood would be much better.
