Liu Jintang secretly thought: We only have a little more than 2,000 men, can this still be called an army? It's safe to go to Gansu early? I don't know Dong Fuxiang's attitude yet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Three days later, Dong Fuxiang's army arrived at Tianshui City.

At the same time, Xuan Jianzhang's men and horses also entered the 100-mile range of Baoji.

Zuo Zongtang was in a hurry, he was becoming more and more unable to maintain his demeanor, in fact, Zuo Zongtang had already planned to surrender at this time, because he had repeatedly delayed, and now that he has surrendered, he is really not as good as a dog.

This is Zuo Zongtang's estimate.

In addition, Zuo Zongtang is very concerned about whether Li Hongzhang has been saved? If Li Hongzhang can't be saved, this is the last thing Zuo Zongtang dares to think about surrendering.

"Dashuai, the news I just found out that the Chinese army is less than fifty miles away from Baoji, and it will be able to reach Baoji in half an hour!" Liu Jintang came over in a panic to report to Zuo Zongtang.

Zuo Zongtang sighed, "What should we do now?" ”

Liu Jintang was embarrassed, and said in his heart that you are handsome, you ask me?

"Order the divisions to be ready for battle. We are bathed in the emperor's grace, and now is the time to be loyal to the emperor and the court! When Zuo Zongtang saw Liu Jintang's expression, he knew that Liu Jintang was a little dissatisfied, and gritted his teeth.

Liu Jintang almost didn't faint, but what about the emperor? Which emperor is it now? The emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom has already issued an edict of abdication, and now he is an ordinary person, and the father of the emperor of the Great Qing Kingdom is still in the barracks of the Chinese army.

Although Yixuan is still called the King of Xuanjun, and Prince Alcohol is still called Prince Alcohol, but this is a polite name, in fact, these people have long been without a prince, and the previous Qing court's lords were all cancelled.

Including Huaguo, only President Meng is the emperor, there is no king, President Meng's father, grandfather, brothers, sisters, no one is a title like the Qing court, everyone is an ordinary person.

How will the throne of Huaguo be inherited in the future?

When President Meng reaches the age of fifty, or before he dies, he will let the entire family and the senior representatives of the Huacui Party elect together, form a team of 1,000 people, and elect the most outstanding person to inherit the throne, regardless of men and women, which has long been written into the president succession system by President Meng, and now it is logical to follow the imperial succession system of Huaguo.

There is an excellent place here that there is no concept of royalty.,Although President Moe's family has become extremely noble.,But in normal times.,Everyone lives like ordinary people.,Don't enjoy special treatment.。

In Zhu Yuanzhang's hands, the descendants are more and more like raising pigs, and there are too many thrones, which finally exploded the Ming Dynasty.

President Meng does this, which will only make the family's power stronger and stronger, and the bloodline will become better and better, and everyone's starting point is the same, starting from ordinary people.

The title kills people, Huaguo pays attention to the meritorious system, not hereditary, but someone in the family has won the national medal or the president's medal, which is the supreme honor, and the descendants can feel the glory, this is a sense of honor, not to let the descendants slack off.

When two people are promoted, if they are at the same level and have similar qualifications, whoever has a national medal or a president's medal will be able to get more support!

These are also reflected in the courtyard, where there is a national medal or a president's medal at home, and a red five-pointed star is allowed to be depicted in the middle of the gate to consult the glory!

"Obey the orders of the marshal!" Liu Jintang was unhappy in his heart, but he was still passable on the surface, even if he was dissatisfied, he didn't dare to show it.

The group of people who are following Zuo Zongtang now are more like a group of people who are desperate and have to be together.

"Excellent! Tell the brothers that as long as they can avoid this catastrophe, they will have a good life in the future, and let people quickly contact Dong Fuxiang and ask Dong Fuxiang what he wants to do? Zuo Zongtang nodded, and then let out a long sigh.

"Yes! Handsome! Liu Jintang agreed, and hurried down to prepare.

After Dong Fuxiang arrived, he hurriedly released the sentry post and ordered the troops to rest.

"Whether Zuo Zongtang sent someone to contact him, or Hua Jun sent someone to contact, he said that I was sick." Dong Fuxiang came up with such a stupid way in order to block Zuo Zongtang from not going to Gansu, and to give an explanation to the Chinese army, and he didn't want to fight Zuo Zongtang's troops.

This trick doesn't work, but being able to hide his ears and steal the bell like this, Dong Fuxiang also feels better.

"What if someone wants to come and see you?" The adjutant general, now in the position of deputy brigade commander, asked softly.

The cavalry units of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army did not have the conditions to storm Baoji at all, because Xuan Jianzhang did not bring heavy artillery with him, and it would take time for the artillery battalion to come from Xi'an.

The road here is actually good, and the road to the train has been paved.

This makes Yixuan, Prince Alcohol and Xuan Jianzhang puzzled, Zuo Zongtang is very active in building roads in the northwest, much more active than Li Hongzhang's repairs, it can be seen from the road repair point, Zuo Zongtang should be interested in Huaguo, but he is such a person, but he has become a person who has not surrendered in the last part of the Qing court, why?

This is determined by Zuo Zongtang's personality, Zuo Zongtang really wants to return to Huaguo, he just wants to keep a territory alone and live an autonomous life, he actually doesn't ask for much, he can have a county seat, he can be satisfied.

However, President Meng has a bottom line, how can it be possible to leave you a fief if he cancels the decadent feudal system in the past? Do you really think you are the Hou Ye?

Since this issue of principle could not be discussed, Zuo Zongtang came and went, hesitated and hesitated, and it became the current situation.

Although there is no heavy artillery, if the Chinese army really wants to attack, it is not impossible, because the small wall of Baoji City is low, and the city wall in the thin place can be blown up with a fried bag.

Xuan Jianzhang asked the chief of staff of the division, "Is there any news?" Dong Fuxiang's men have already arrived in Tianshui City, why don't you send someone to contact us? ”

What Xuan Jianzhang was most worried about was Dong Fuxiang's repeated attitude.

Yixuan nodded and said: "Dong Fuxiang, I can't see it for sure, is Senior Xuan worried that Dong Fuxiang and Zuo Zongtang will get together?" Although don't worry, I can guarantee that he won't, if he is willing to personally bring cavalry to Tianshui City to intercept Zuo Zongtang, he will never turn his back on Huaguo, otherwise, he will be looking for his own death. ”

Xuan Jianzhang snorted, "I also know that this possibility is very small, but if he doesn't fight, how can he intercept it?" What if Zuo Zongtang insists on rushing to him? He waited and stood there and watched, it was better not to come. ”

"It's also unlikely, since he is here, the roadblocks will definitely be set up, and he will not let Zuo Zongtang pass easily, I estimate that Dong Fuxiang is here to pretend, neither want Zuo Zongtang to go to Gansu, nor do he want to fight Zuo Zongtang." Yi Liang analyzed.

Xuan Jianzhang was a little anxious, "Then you mean, we still have to attack by ourselves?" Didn't you say wait for Dong Fuxiang and attack together? ”

"Now it seems that it will not work, Dong Fuxiang has not taken the initiative to contact him, we contacted him, and he did not reply for a long time, it seems that he is determined not to attack Zuo Zongtang, and now, we can only force Zuo Zongtang out of Baoji. As long as we do, Zuo Zongtang will inevitably march to Tianshui City, and he has no second way to go. Yi Xuan said confidently.

Xuan Jianzhang sighed, "It's been a circle, don't you want to fight?" I knew it earlier, so I let the infantry and artillery come together. It was delayed for several days. ”

Yixuan didn't dare to say anything, and secretly slandered himself, you should have let the army come over, didn't you always want to save costs? More than 2,000 cavalry can clean up Zuo Zongtang?

"I don't necessarily want to surround Zuo Zongtang to death, I guess, just hit twice, Zuo Zongtang will run, he is now a frightened bird, if you have to provoke him, the combat effectiveness of the Chu army will be stronger." Yi Xuan analyzed Xuan Jianzhang.

Xuan Jianzhang nodded, "Okay, tonight, arrange a feint attack by the troops, and the cavalry of the First Field Division of our Chinese Army can also be used as infantry!" ”

Xuan Jianzhang really didn't brag, because the cavalry of the First Field Division of the Chinese Army was originally selected from the infantry to participate in cavalry training, and it may be inferior to the Chu army in terms of cavalry technology, but in terms of infantry technology, this is the most powerful cavalry, hehe.
