Guo Ye frowned slightly when he heard this, and shouted: "Read! ”

"Brother Ziming: Today's New York Sun reported that the Taiping bandits of the Qing Dynasty were in the early peace, and today there are Shi Dakai, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, sent troops from Sichuan, and along the Yangtze River, he has successively captured Jiujiang, Anqing, Tongling and other places, the Qing Governor Zeng Guofan and his brother Zeng Guoquanxiang The main force of the army was defeated by Shi Dakai, and the casualties were heavy, and several important towns in the northeast of Jiangxi and southwest Anhui were all occupied by Shi Dakai, and the Qing State was shaken, and the Qing army was planning to mobilize the Qing army to suppress the band......its again."

What the?

Guo Ye's eyebrows were raised, Shi Dakai? I rub, what's going on? This Shi Dakai should have been trapped in Sichuan according to the calculation of time, and in a few months, the whole army will be wiped out, how can he actually be killed from Sichuan, and he can continue to attack the city? Isn't that Luo Bingzhang a famous minister of the Qing Dynasty?

Luo Bingzhang?

Guo Ye suddenly remembered that Luo Bingzhang was accidentally implicated in the Tongzhou case, and he was supposed to go to Sichuan to take up the governorship, but he had no choice but to stay in Hubei and continue to stay as governor......

Guo Ye shouted: "Come on, immediately find me a copy of the Sun Newspaper!" ”

The staff officer hurriedly ran out.

Gao Qi and Chen Hailuo Bicheng looked at Guo Ye, Shi Dakai is the leading general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the most legendary general, I heard that when he was in his twenties, he had already led an army of 100,000 across the south of the Yangtze River, and beat the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan to the point of being miserable, this is a character who can be compared with the eldest brother, and he was killed in this way, and there is no other people's constraints. Isn't that even more powerful?

Guo Ye's brows furrowed. Fingers tapped lightly on the table. After pondering carefully, it didn't take long for the staff officer to bring the Sun Newspaper.

Guo Ye looked at it carefully, was silent, and Chen Hai asked, "Big brother, what should we do?" It seems that the imperial court is a little overwhelmed......"

Guo Ye shook his head and replied, "Don't worry about him, pass the order." The United States is to search for all information on the occupation of the country, and if necessary, to have Colt and Grant assist us. This time, of course, the imperial court was a little unstoppable, at least they couldn't stop Shi Dakai in the early stage, even if the Hunan army faced Shi Dakai in its heyday, they were defeated and won less, not to mention that now the Hunan army is at the end of the crossbow, and after disarmament, it is not an opponent of others, and it wants to turn the tables. There are only two ways for the imperial court. ”

Chen Hai asked, "What about the two methods?" ”

Guo Ye said with a smile: "The first way is naturally to invite our brothers back. However, I don't want to go back so soon, it's easy to get me out, ask me to go back, don't give some benefits, who will go back? The second method, then you can only wait for Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, the ability of the two of them is still quite powerful, and with the help of foreigners, even if Shi Dakai is powerful, it is difficult to return to the sky with one hand, unless there is a master to help him......"

"Big brother,"

Gao Qi on the side suddenly smiled evilly, "I heard that the Colt company still has 20,000 foreign guns waiting to be processed, all of them are some old models, and there is no way to compare with our Liaoyuan rifle, but it is not worse than other rifles, how about we make a deal with Shi Dakai?" It's just the right time to take advantage of the fire to rob each other and let them dog-eat-dog ......"

Guo Ye slapped his head fiercely, wipe, what's wrong with Gao Qi today, he can come up with such a bad idea! However, it is also very reasonable, the current strength of the Qing court is still very strong, if you want to rise quickly, you must weaken the ruling power of the Qing court as much as possible, and it is a good idea to borrow Shi Dakai's means......

Guo Ye nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, it's rare that your boss Gao also has a brain, so it's decided, I'll go to see Colt in a while, and ask him to contact Shi Dakai through the American consul in Jiangnan to help Shi Dakai, well, 10,000 rifles, 1 million rounds of ammunition, it's also a lot of wealth!" ”

Ten thousand rifles, each at the cheapest twenty taels of silver, is still a deal of two hundred thousand taels of silver, plus millions of bullets, that would be a huge deal of more than five hundred thousand taels of silver.

The 10,000 rifles will also greatly improve the current situation of the Taiping army's lack of firearms, greatly enhance the strength of the Taiping army, and can cause more great damage to the Qing court, and truly destroy the foundation of Manchu rule.

Chen Hai hesitated: "Big brother, what if the imperial court requisitioned Baoding Town, the three towns of Shandong and the Shandong training army to the south to encircle and suppress the Taiping Army?" Let's sell arms to the Taiping Army, I'm afraid that it will cause great inconvenience to myself......"

Guo Ye smiled slightly and replied, "Baoding Town? They are only afraid that it will be difficult to cross Zhili Henan into Anhui and Jiangsu, after all, there are still a large number of twisted troops in Henan, northern Anhui and even some parts of Shandong, and Baoding City is the last line of defense to protect the capital, and the imperial court will definitely not let them go south, even if they let them go south, with a shrewd person like Wang Huanzhang, it is definitely not something that others can play casually! As for the three towns in Shandong, I'm afraid that they will never be able to leave Shandong. Xiaohai, immediately through the channel of the US Ministry of Foreign Affairs, gave an order to Yan Chunyu, ordering him to take all the training troops away for me, and give me wanton tossing in Shandong, I don't believe it, Shandong has turned the sky upside down, and they can still transfer the three towns of Shandong away! ”

Guo Ye's move is ruthless enough, the training army and the three towns of Shandong are completely under his control, with his own order, Yan Chunyu will lead the training army into the mountainous area, turning into bandits and robbers, when the time comes, Shandong will be full of smoke, Zuo Guigui can't be busy if he wants to "quell" the rebellion, where is the heart to run to the south of the Yangtze River?

The imperial court is destined to have no soldiers to send, the Hunan army has suffered heavy losses, the Huai army and the Chu army are still fledgling, and they want to fight against Shi Dakai but they can't catch it, hehe, Lao Tzu will light this fire for you, Lao Tzu is so easy to be bullied? Joke!

Guo Ye smiled proudly.

Gao Qi asked: "Big brother, you are going to do it in the United States to the end, do you really care about it in China?" ”

Guo Ye glared at Gao Qi, and said angrily: "Who said it doesn't matter?" It's just that the time has not yet come, what I need to do now is to squeeze as much blood out of the federal government as possible in the United States, otherwise where will we have the money? When we are almost done in the United States, we can return to China, just in time to clean up the mess, take down Shi Dakai, and take the Qing court with the obedience, this is called killing two birds with one stone, and reaping the profits! ”
