In just three days, Yixin rode alone and in turns, and rushed to Jinan Mansion.

Hearing that the regent had arrived in Jinan, Guo Songtao, Zuo Guigui, Li Junfeng and others hurriedly went out of the city to greet them.

Yixin was connected to the governor's yamen, and the subordinates served tea and snacks, Guo Songtao asked: "Lord, I don't know if you came to Jinan in person, why do you have to do it?" ”

Yixin said angrily: "I don't come in person, do you Shandong listen to the will of the imperial court now?" Zuo Guigui, now that the banditry in Shandong has been quelled, when will you send troops? Now Jiangnan Shiwei has even captured Zhejiang, and if it is attacked, then Jiangsu will not be able to keep it! ”

Zuo Guigui's face turned red and replied: "Lord Wang, wasn't Shandong not peaceful some time ago?" As the governor of Shandong, it is the duty of the minister to protect Shandong and Zhili safely, and now that Shandong has calmed down, the minister is willing to go to the south of the Yangtze River to help Lord Zeng and others......"

Yixin snorted coldly and replied: "It is your duty to protect the capital and Ningjing in Shandong, but Jiangnan is a rich land, and half of the taxes of the imperial court are from Jiangnan, is it possible that you will watch Jiangnan be owned by Changmao?" ”

In front of Yixin, Zuo Guigui is still a little short of breath, after all, this is the regent, and there is still a huge difference between Wen Xiang, Cao Yuying and others, not to mention that this is still Guo Ye's benefactor, without the regent and the monk king, Guo Ye would not know how many times he died!

"Lord Wang, the twisted bandits in Shandong have just been exterminated, and the three towns ......in Shandong need to rest for a few days before they can march to the south."

"Okay, I won't listen to this, eat the king's lu, share the king's worries, we're courtiers, isn't this what we do? I don't care what reason you have, three days, give you three days to rest, three days later, immediately rectify the army and go out, before the Shandong bandits, you don't enter the army, it's just that, now the Shandong bandits have been peaceful, if you don't enter the army, then it can't be said, Guanting, I know that you are brave and loyal, don't let the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces disappoint......"

Yixin didn't give Zuo Guigui any chance to argue, and spoke directly to die, Zuo Guigui could only shake his head, and silently agreed, the official level crushed people to death, the one in front of him was the regent, not that he Zuo Guigui could withstand it, and if he didn't go on the expedition, the anxious Yixin would definitely remove himself from his post as soon as possible to investigate, and then entrust someone else.

"Also, Guan Ting, how is the training army left by Guo Ye now, how many people are left, if they are handed over to you to command, are you sure that you will be able to restrain them?"

Zuo Guigui hesitated for a moment and replied: "Lord Wang, now there are only more than 1,000 people in the entire training army, but Lord Bochen has already given an order to Commander Yan Chunyu, and he has been recruiting new recruits these days, and in some time, he can be replenished, but the combat power of the recruits is far greater than that of the original veterans......

Yixin slammed the wine glass, what is special, all of them are good things done by those big guys, if you don't force Guo Ye away, where can you bother with this thought? As long as Guo Ye is here, the army will go south, but I am afraid that the current Shi Zhi will have already fallen down, and even the British and French forces and the big nose of Tsarist Russia can't help him, let alone the long hair in the south?

It's just that it's too late to say anything now!

Yixin replied: "Well, Yan Chunyu, I remember that this kid has learned a lot of things by Guo Ye's side, and he is a good material for fighting, pass on my orders, hurry up and recruit new soldiers, your pace of going to Zhejiang can be delayed for two days, give you five thousand time, and go south together with the training battalion, this Shi Reverse is not easy to deal with, recently they have been equipped with a large number of firearms, and it is even more difficult to deal with." ”

Zuo Guigui replied: "Lord Wang, when Lord Futai was in Japan, he had repeatedly mentioned Shi Wei in front of his humble position, and respected his military command, saying that he was a military genius born in the Qing Dynasty. ”

Yixin glanced at Zuo Precious and said angrily: "Nonsense, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want him to come back?" In order to be able to let him return, I have already issued three holy decrees in a row, and even directly gave him the title of first-class duke, the position of governor of Liangjiang, isn't this enough grace? But what about him? Always shirk for various reasons, it's been dragging on for more than a month! Damn it, you're so careful! ”

Guo Songtao on the side comforted gently: "Don't worry, the prince, maybe it's really the American government that doesn't want to release people, after all, eating on other people's land, Ziming always doesn't act so freely, and the lower officials think that when the time is really incomprehensible, he will naturally return, and he still has this righteousness......

Yixin snorted coldly, he was really a little dissatisfied with Guo Ye in his heart, if it wasn't for the rarity of talents, he really didn't plan to continue to call him, what the hell, it's too bad!

"Bochen, this time, in addition to urging the Guanting to march, there is one more thing to do!"

Guo Songtao was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "If the prince has anything to do, just tell me to come down......

Yixin's face turned red, and said: "Bochen, you also know that the war in the south continues, and the taxes in Jiangnan have been difficult to solve smoothly in the capital, and most of them have been intercepted by Zeng Guofan and others for expropriation......

Guo Songtao was stunned and said: "Lord, when Chu Ziming came to Shandong to take office, you and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces agreed, within three years, Shandong Province is exempt from all taxes, and now the crown court is on the march, not only does the court not produce money, but also wants us Shandong to pay for it?" It's—that's too ......."

Yixin looked embarrassed and said: "Bochen, this, this king has no choice, and now Shandong has been recuperating for two years, and the people's livelihood has begun to become rich......

"Three years, three years! Lord Wang, this is what you once promised Ziming! ”

Of course Guo Songtao didn't dare to agree indiscriminately, this was a matter involving millions of taels or even millions of taels of silver, where could he agree casually? Now the state capitals of Shandong are still tax-free, in fact, the governor's yamen and the political envoy's yamen don't have much money......

"Bochen, can you bear to watch this king be forced to hang himself by the matter of money and grain?"

Saying this, Yixin actually pulled up his sleeves and began to wipe his tears......

Forehead......

Guo Songtao is a benevolent gentleman after all, where did he see a dignified regent like this? It's so poignant!

"Okay, lord, I, I agreed, but this money and grain must be deducted from the taxes to the court in the future......"

"Good! That's great! Bochen, I know that you are benevolent and righteous! Gentleman's wind! Haha......"

Yi Xin laughed!

I'll go! What's more, the dignified regent is also very good at acting!
