If you want to say that the governor can handle foreign affairs, Zeng Guofan is certainly one of the most suitable candidates. However, moving Liu Changyou away and inviting Zeng Guofan to be the governor of Zhili, the matter of foreign affairs is still secondary, and the most important thing is that Guan Zhuofan wants to use this to transfer Zeng Guofan from Liangjiang, the base camp of the Hunan army.

The Hunan army started in Hunan, but the "head" of the "Hunan system" with the greatest power was the two rivers - Anhui, Jiangsu, and Jiangxi. The reason is very simple, Jiangsu is the base camp of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Hunan army pacified Hongyang, and the hardest battles were fought in Jiangsu and the surrounding provinces of Jiangsu.

After the chaos of Hong Yang, the big man of the cardinal government thought about one thing, but he could never declare it, was to transfer Zeng Guofan away from Liangjiang.

King Gong and Guan Zhuofan fought for power and gritted their teeth at each other, but on this matter, their positions were completely consistent.

No one doubts Zeng Guofan's loyalty, but the power of the "Hunan faction" is too great, and it is necessary to "cut the domain" moderately, otherwise, sooner or later, it will not be able to fall. What's more, no matter what the "system" is, it is Guan Zhuofan's established charter to collect power from the localities, strengthen centralized power, and concentrate resources to do big things.

However, if Zeng Guofan was still in the position of the governor of Liangjiang, with his towering tree covering, it would be difficult for the imperial court's hand to stretch it in—if it was to be stretched hard, it would probably hurt a lot.

Guan Zhuofan snapped his fingers: Two rivers and three provinces, I really took it, but half of Jiangsu; By twisting, Anhui barely inserted a kick, but it was swaying, and it has not really stood firm until now, let alone made any big achievements; As for Jiangxi, they are looking at the ocean and sighing outside.

If you want to really master the two rivers, you must ask the general Zeng Guofan to open.

With the prestige and status of Zeng Guofan. If you transfer away from the two rivers. There are only two places to settle.

One is the Military Aircraft Division.

Let's not talk about Zeng Guofan's entry into the direct military aircraft. It is not suitable for Guan Zhuofan. Even if there were all kinds of advantages and no disadvantages, it would not be feasible - Zeng Guofan himself would never agree.

Kuang Shixun has been accomplished, Zeng Disheng held the profit of Baotai, worried and fearful, and the heart of the early rapids and brave retreat. He can't retreat, it's really too many old officials, and everyone has to rely on his shadow, so he can't help but stay on the stage. Make this big tree.

It is already reluctant to stay in the feudal territory, how can he be willing to join the direct military plane, struggling on the crest of the waves of the central government, choking on salt water one after another?

If Zeng Guofan was to enter the military plane and walk, he would inevitably die of illness or even old age.

Zeng Guofan must not be forced to leave his post. This is neither the way of the imperial court to treat meritorious heroes, nor is it the right thing to do to weaken the "Hunan system".

The Military Aircraft Department did not work, and there was only one seat left: the Governor of Zhili.

The governor of Zhili is the head of the world's frontier ministers, and among the local officials, Liangjiang, which has the greatest real power and the richest resources, is the only position that can be regarded as "level". Except for Zhili. Even if the two are wide and the lake is wide, for the two rivers. They were all faintly lowered by half a level.

The governor is the upper limit of the administrative position that Zeng Guofan can accept, and Zhili is the only "landhead" other than Liangjiang that meets Zeng Guofan's status and status, cough cough, Teacher Zeng, the position of the governor of Zhili, if you don't sit, who sits?

Zeng Guofan went to Liangjiang to go straight to the li, on the table, in public and private, there are extremely high-sounding reasons, no one can refute - in terms of qualifications and ability, there is indeed no more suitable person than him.

What about under the stage?

Will it cause doubts, uneasiness, and even backlash among the "Hunan system"?

No.

Guo Songtao has already laid enough ground when he enters the military plane.

Guo Songtao is the most authentic "Hunan line", and unlike Liu Changyou, Guo Songtao and Zeng Guofan have an extremely deep relationship.

More importantly, Guo Songtao, as a "southerner", broke the iron law of "no more than two Han members" in the Military Aircraft Department, which is far more significant than a "Hunan department" member who moved to the position of governor.

These two things are put together, and the most suspicious people cannot come to the conclusion that the imperial court wants to "cut Hunan".

Zeng Guofan went to Liangjiang, who will take his seat?

Needless to say, it is naturally the Jiangsu Governor's Protection Bureau.

Ah, Cho Kyung-hyun? His qualifications...... Is it enough?

It's just acting, and it's not really excepting, what's not enough? Isn't it natural that the governor is gone, and the governor is acting?

Uh, yes, but ......

Not so much "but". Zhao Jingxian's task is only to take the other half of Jiangsu, which is not as good as Anhui and Jiangxi for the time being, and the range of actions is limited, and he will not make trouble about Ma Xinyi's file in the original time and space.

Also, Ma Xingu is an outsider, but Zhao Zhusheng can be regarded as half a local ginger, laying down Jiangsu, Zhao has a solid credit, and his governor of Jiangsu is also done locally, and the nature of the two is completely different.

Besides, I have a back hand for Lao Zeng and the "Hunan system".

Backhand?

Be.

But...... You can't "protect the department" forever.

Of course. When the time comes...... Hehe, the secret of heaven must not be leaked, anyway, there is no need to worry about the selection of the governor of Liangjiang at that time.

Guan Beile looks like he is full of wisdom beads in his hands, okay, although we can't completely put our minds at ease, but this topic has to be put aside first, well, take the words of the two lovely royal sisters and ask: What about Liu Changyou?

Don't dare to worry about the queen mother of the two palaces, Liu Zimo has a very suitable place to go.

After the rebellion of Zhang Liu was put down, the imperial court immediately made two personnel transfers.

The first item, Wu Jianying moved to Fengtai Camp Zuo Governor. The left is higher than the right, that is, Wu Jianying has become the number one person in the Fengtai camp.

In the second item, the former Zhili Governor was dismissed, and Jiang De was appointed as the Zhili Governor. Jiang De's appointment, the reward is secondary, the key is that in the name of the highest governor of the green camp of a province, you can start to adapt the green camp of the whole province.

These two personnel changes are the proper meaning of the question, and they did not cause any waves, and everyone's eyes are staring at the governor of Zhili under Liu Changyou's buttocks.

The edict followed: summon Liu Changyou to Beijing to see His Majesty.

The will is very simple, and there is no mention of the specific arrangements for Liu Changyou. Everyone immediately discussed: Liu Zimo, the governor of Zhili, can't be saved! Not only that, but it's likely that you've returned home!

Because if it is "demoted and retained", or deposed to a lower-level position, it is good to explain it directly in the edict, and there is no need to be silent and silent. Among them, if it is the latter, Liu Changyou's entry into Beijing is a "Majesty's speech", not a "Majesty's Opinion". Now, the edict is speaking of "Your Majesty's Opinion" - not a good sign!

Liu Changyou himself judged it this way. Zhang Liu was in turmoil, he was tormented and self-blaming every day, and when he received this "court mail", he breathed a long sigh of relief and was relieved. In order to avoid being in a hurry, before entering Beijing, he made some arrangements for his family and luggage in advance. However, Liu Changyou's eunuch bag was reduced, and there was not much to pick up.

After entering Beijing, I first went to the palace gate and handed over the invitation. As soon as he returned to Xianliang Temple, Guan Zhuofan's post and famous thorn arrived, inviting him to Baylor Mansion for a "drink".

Liu Changyou cleaned up his clothes and took a sedan chair to Wicker Hutong. The handbook was handed in, and after a while, the porter trotted over, and while handing back the handbook, he said that Lord Baylor had instructed that if Liu Zhijun arrived, please carry the sedan chair into the second door.

Liu Changyou had a big surprise. The reputation of this Corporal Baylor Lixian has long been outside, but I am not Zeng Disheng and Zuo Jigao, and I am about to fall from my post, at this time, put on this posture, a little too much, right?

The sedan chair was carried into the second door, and Guan Zhuofan was already waiting under the dripping eaves in front of the hall.

Liu Changyou went up the steps, knelt down and saluted, and the first sentence was: "Liu Changyou came to ask Lord Baylor for his guilt!" ”

Guan Zhuofan stretched out his hand to help him up and said, "Where did Mo Gong come from?" We're actually a blessing in disguise! Without these two thousand heads, the future salt affairs will never be carried out smoothly! Mo Gong is our 'pioneer'! We followed behind Mo Gong, and it was a smooth road! ”

This passage, Liu Changyou himself, did not dare to think in this direction, let alone thought so thoroughly, at the moment the blood surged, almost tears.

After sitting down to watch the tea, Liu Changyou mentioned the words of "accusation" again, Guan Zhuofan frowned slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Don't say these words again." I don't hide it from Mo Gong, in order to prevaricate public opinion, Mo Gong can't help but move his position from the place of Zhili - I have another place to borrow dà talents. ”

Although it was expected, Liu Changyou's heart still sank slightly, he calmed down, and said calmly: "Please give instructions to Lord Baylor." ”

"I ask Mo Gongnan to take up the post of governor of Yunnan and Guizhou. In addition, the title of 'Minister of Mission' was added to supervise the military affairs of Yunnan, Guizhou, and Guangxi provinces. ”

Liu Changyou was dumbfounded.
