The two of them were shocked, it seems that Ming Shuai is not very optimistic about the current situation!

"Ming Shuai, in this case, I choose the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, there are rebellions and horse bandits in Shaanxi and Gansu, and there are tsarist Russia watching outside, the situation is the most sinister, but only I can deter Xiaoxiao!"

Zuo Zongtang is as arrogant as ever, thinking that no one can deter the chaotic Northwest except himself, and only Zuo Zongtang has this kind of domineering spirit that looks down on the world and gives up on me. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Li Hongzhang's face darkened, this Zuo Jigao was really unkind, and he chose the most difficult Great Northwest, what about himself? Choosing the Governor of Liangguang? In front of Guo Ye, where is there any prestige? Are you so worthless?

"Good! Ji Shuai, then I wish you success! The entire 941 Northwest is a place where there are frequent wars, and it is located in a remote and bitter cold place, so you have to be more careful! ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice.

Zuo Zongtang smiled proudly and replied: "Don't worry, Ming Shuai, this difficulty is nothing, and I can't just eat idle food, right?" ”

"Quan Shuai, I suggest you go to the southwest and serve as the governor of Sichuan."

Zuo Zongtang continued.

Li Hongzhang's face turned even darker, this Zuo Zongtang actually made the decision for himself!

Zuo Zongtang sighed and said: "Shaoquan, I am also old, how old are you, compared with Disheng, your kung fu is still worse, however, this machine is much stronger than Disheng, and he is good at judging the situation, long sleeves and good dancing, southwest direction, not only a simple problem in Sichuan, to the south is Yungui, to the west is Qinghai-Tibet, all of them are ethnic minority areas, I think Ziming also wants you to go over there, and only you can suppress the entire southwest, now there is no such character under Ming Shuai, Shaoquan, I'm going to have to work hard for you this time......"

Guo Ye laughed and said: "Brother Ji Gao, although your words are more direct, I have to say, you have seen it very thoroughly, yes, if you want to deter the southwest, it is definitely none other than Quan Shuai, however, the southwest is also the people's wisdom has not been opened, and it is really a bit condescending to let Shaoquan go anywhere, so I have prepared the governor of Liangguang, Quan Shuai, Ji Shuai has already chosen the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, and you have chosen Liangguang and the southwest!" ”

This one......

Of course Li Hongzhang wants to go to Jiangnan, it is best to go to Liangjiang or Fujian and Zhejiang, but now he is forced into a corner by Zuo Zongtang and chooses the southeast, which is really contemptuous!

"Shaoquan, you are still young, if you covet the outstanding people in the south of the Yangtze River, and the treasures of the world, you can naturally go to Fujian and Zhejiang and Liangguang, and all the contacts accumulated in Fujian and Zhejiang can be handed over to you, but if you want to establish a thousand years of meritorious deeds, then you must go to the southwest, whether it is the indigenous people of Yunnan and Guizhou, or Qinghai-Tibet, you need a talent like you to be able to deter and live, and even England is on the opposite side of the plateau and is eyeing there, think about it, if you can really make the southwest as stable as Mount Tai, how can this feat be comparable to my Zuo Zongtang?"

Zuo Zongtang said with a smile.

"Ji Shuai, you don't have to provoke me, hehe, you are sixty years old, you are not afraid of hardships, and you are willing to go to the northwest, I, Li Hongzhang, are in the prime of life, why don't you go to the southwest? This Sichuan, I'm going to decide! ”

Li Hongzhang said angrily.

Guo Ye's heart is both emotional and funny, without Zuo Zongtang's wrist, this Li Hongzhang will definitely choose a rich place in the south of the Yangtze River, who doesn't know that this place is full of oil and water?

However, Zuo Zongtang saw Li Hongzhang's thoughts and directly forced Li Hongzhang into a corner!

"Two, I will give you three to five years, three to five years later, the southwest and northwest will be as stable as Mount Tai, those two will still return to the capital, and when the time comes, the position of prime minister and vice minister will still be reserved for you! Don't worry, it's yours, no one can take it! ”

Zuo Zongtang nodded and said: "The matter is settled, but although the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River is not as prosperous as Shandong, it also needs people with excellent ability to sit in charge......"

Guo Ye nodded and replied: "In Fujian and Zhejiang, Ji Shuai, you come to recommend a talent; In the Huguang area, Quan Shuai came to recommend a talent, as for Liangjiang, I will hand it over to Shi Dakai, and Shandong to Li Junfeng, his ability is also good; Zhili was handed over to Ding Baozhen, who had already experienced and practiced in Shandong; The governor of Zhili is no longer needed, Zhili is rich in resources, I want to build him into a huge industrial body, and I need a talent who is very proficient in foreign affairs, and only a person like Xue Fucheng who has drunk enough foreign ink can complete such a task. ”

Zuo Zongtang said with a smile: "It's very simple, Governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, continue to let Shen Baozhen do it, he is doing a good job in Fujian, and his prestige is very high, as long as he comes back from the United States, he can take over directly." ”

Li Hongzhang was also not polite, and said: "The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang handed over to Shen Baozhen to dare, then Huguang will be handed over to Ding Yusheng to do, this person is very good at means, proficient in foreign affairs, and will definitely be able to do it well!" ”

Guo Ye nodded and smiled: "The two of you know the current talents well, but among the Jingshi, you recommend some talents to me, and all the talents are scattered into the rivers and lakes, so how is it good to be above the court?" ”

Zuo Zongtang replied: "Then it's not a matter for me and Quan Shuai, you can watch it yourself, anyway, in the military aspect, you have a tiger general, in terms of cultural governance, and Guo Songtao and others can also be in charge, I don't believe that you will have no future!" ”

Li Hongzhang sighed: "Speaking of Guo Songtao, we met ten years ago, at that time, under the teacher's account at the same time the teacher's staff, although Bochen is a talent, but still a little bookish, too pedantic, now in Shandong for a few years, has surpassed me, Shibei three days, should be impressive!" ”

Indeed, he is also a cadre of the Hunan Army, ten years ago, Li Hongzhang was valued by Zeng Guofan, and he has always been trained and regarded as a protégé, Guo Songtao really did not have such an opportunity; But ten years later, Guo Songtao, who met Guo Ye, became a blockbuster, from an ordinary staff member to a pivotal figure in the political arena.

"Not bad! The two of you are not in Beijing, and the position of prime minister will naturally be left to Bochen, but after all, he is not three heads and six arms, where can he be busy with so many things? In a word, the more talents, the better, I'm not afraid of more, among your staff, there are definitely talents, and you two have been in places for a long time, and you know a lot about the talents who are in the rivers and lakes, recommend me to me, I will hire them, haha, don't cherish yourself? ”

"Ming Shuai, you are Zhou Gong Tufu, the world is in the heart, haha......"
