UBP slammed the table, "Join him, join him!" ”

At the same time that the impeachment of Luo Guozhong was sent out urgently by 800 miles, Luo Guozhong began to feel a dilemma about what to do next. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"If Yingkou is not recaptured, the imperial court will receive the news immediately, and the will to ask for sins will arrive immediately! If you give up Benxi and lose Benxi again, you will directly ask for the guilt, and there will be no room for turning around! If both sides want to keep it, I'm afraid that both sides will be lost! Alas! Luo Guozhong sighed bitterly.

In just seven days, Luo Guozhong fell from the victor's cloud to the abyss of hell.

Luo Guoxiao didn't know how to comfort Luo Guozhong, "Brother, let's divide the troops into two ways, and hand over the matter of guarding Benxi to General Sheng Jing's army, let's take back Yingkou first, and then kill it back, and take Caohekou, which is also considered a matter of this matter." ”

Luo Guozhong looked at Luo Guoxiao with a heavy heart, and then looked into the distance, in the direction of Caohekou, "You say, who is commanding on the other side?" Is it really like the rumors say, that the prodigy is in command? Is this person really a demon? ”

"My lord, it's not good." The soldiers shouted loudly outside the tent.

Luo Guozhong was just when he was angry, and got up angrily, "What's the matter?!" ”

"The two teams of the Green Battalion and General Shengjing's horse team have all gone to Mukden." The soldiers hurriedly prayed.

Luo Guozhong was furious: "Bastard! There's a war going on! UBP, this old brute, I have to join him! ”

Originally, there were more than 5,000 green battalions and 5,000 horse teams of Ruilian, more than 10,000 troops, and the problem of holding Benxi was not big at all.

Luo Guozhong was furious and went to stop him, but these people didn't listen to him at all, the feudal army was all messed together, different from President Meng's regiment, battalion, company, platoon, squad, and moreover, President Meng's company-level unit has a political and religious department, and there is no one who can control the army and pull away the possibility of the army.

Even if Luo Guozhong had Shang Fang's sword, he couldn't move General Shengjing's soldiers and horses, so he could only go to Fengtian to find Ruilian.

Ruilian pushed the illness and disappeared, and the angry Luo Guozhong wrote down the fold in public in front of General Shengjing's mansion!

Related is not afraid at all, his backstage is much tougher than Luo Guozhong, Luo Guozhong is not to say that he is a Han general, even if Li Hongzhang comes, Ruilian is not afraid.

Ruilian is a royal family, and he is also very successful in his daily life, and his roots are very hard.

When Ruilian returned to Benxi, he was really desperate, once General Sheng Jing's soldiers and horses were withdrawn, his army of 10,000 people had just experienced a big war and was still in the stage of recuperation, if 5,000 people were divided to fight Yingkou, it was really uncertain, if 8,000 people were divided, it was almost impossible to hit Yingkou, I was afraid that the artillery fire of the Danzhou army would be too fierce, and the remaining 2,000 people would not be able to bear it.

Luo Guozhong had no choice but to bite the bullet and write a letter to Li Hongzhang again, informing Li Hongzhang in detail of the situation here.

The imperial court and Li Hongzhang received Luo Guozhong's news almost at the same time, and of course, the Empress Dowager Cixi also had an extra copy of Ruilian's participation in her hand.

Of course, Li Hongzhang understood everything, and knew that it was not Luo Guozhong who could not fight, but it was all caused by intrigue.

"Let's talk about it, what now? We went to so many soldiers and horses, why can't we defeat this small East Hawaiian Kingdom, a small country that I have never heard of before, how can we do foreign affairs after the Qing Dynasty? Now even Yingkou has been lost, and the mouth of the grass river has not been recovered, and I don't know if this Benxi can be defended, can you all talk about it? On weekdays, you can speak well one by one, but now, it's time for you to speak. The Empress Dowager Cixi was not very impatient, and her tone was slow and leisurely, as if she was just an outsider, and she was anxious about Prince Gong and Li Hongzhang.

Prince Gong Yixun originally wore a shirt with Li Hongzhang, one of the two of them was inside and one outside, and the relationship was very harmonious, but it was more embarrassing to be made by Ruilian and Luo Guozhong, after all, Prince Gong Yixin wanted to face Ruilian, and Li Hongzhang wanted to face Luo Guozhong.

At this point, although Li Hongzhang is consistent with Prince Gong Yixun, Li Hongzhang attaches more importance to personal power, Li Hongzhang doesn't want to fight anymore, and Prince Gong Yixun still wants to fight again, this is the difference.

"If you go back to the Queen Mother, the first battle is not good, but the main force of my Qing army is not damaged, or I will fight again, or I will change the general to fight again, and I can't miss the three armies because the main general is incompetent!"

Li Hongzhang was furious, he didn't expect Prince Gong to leave no room at all, this is to push all the fault on Luo Guozhong's body, and push it on Luo Guozhong's body, which is equivalent to pushing it on his body, this pot, Li Hongzhang can't afford to carry it, however, it is not the first time that Li Hongzhang, who is old and serious, has been impeached, and he did not make a sound.

Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Empress Dowager Ci'an beside her, "Sister, what do you think?" ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an looked at Emperor Tongzhi, who was about to fall asleep on the dragon chair, "Sister, let's take the idea, and listen to what the emperor has to say, right?" ”

"I don't know anything!" Emperor Tongzhi is angry, his return to politics is completely useless, Cixi still corrects and corrects every day, it is the same with him or not, and this matter involves Xuan Zonglu, Xuan Zonglu is a holy decree issued by him personally, and Emperor Tongzhi feels that they are retribution.

The Empress Dowager Cixi snorted and said, "Li Hongzhang, you can talk about it." Will this battle continue, or should it happen? ”

Li Hongzhang's forehead oozed sweat, "Yes, the minister thinks, it is better to negotiate peace, since this Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom said that it was because bandits went to Danzhou to make trouble, and the magistrate's restraint was not effective, you might as well see if they have any plans to negotiate peace." Perhaps, if you completely rely on the mediation of foreigners, or keep fighting with this small country, you may not be able to please it. ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi had no expression, Li Hongzhang's words went to her heart, and Li Hongzhang's words could always go to Cixi's heart.

"No, this Eastern Hawaiian Kingdom, Wei Chen checked very clearly, it is a vassal state of the United States, and it is also a prince who is exiled, the real Hawaiian Kingdom is in the depths of the sea, and their national strength cannot be compared with my Yang Qing Dynasty. Prince Gong did not intend to budge this time.

Li Hongzhang then remained silent, but Li Hongzao and other Qingliu recognized Prince Gong's words very much, and they all said that they would continue to fight.

The generals of the Huai army were not so easy to withdraw, and Liu Mingchuan was an example.

In 1864 A.D. (the fourth year of Tongzhi), Zeng Guo Domain supervised the army to suppress the army, and Liu Mingchuan was ordered to lead the army from Guangde to the north.

Shi Qing general Monk Greenqin is leading the elite cavalry to follow the Twist Army to rush left and right, exhausted. The Ming army adhered to the will of Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang, preserved its strength, and stationed in Lu'an and Huoshan. More than 11,000 horses and horses of the Monk Greenqin Department were completely annihilated by the Twist Army, and Monk Greenqin was killed.

The Qing court was furious when they heard the news, and strictly ordered Zeng Guofan to be punished and Liu Mingchuan was dismissed from his post and retained. In November, Liu Mingchuan chased the Twist Army, rushed through Zhoujiakou, forcibly crossed the Shahe River, and encountered the Twist Army Lai Wenguang, Ren Huabang, Niu Luohong and so on at the Hongji Bridge.

In September, the Twist Army Lai Wenguang and Zhang Zongyu broke through Zeng Guofan's Shahe defense line and marched to Zhongmu, Henan, divided into the East and West Twist Army.

Zeng Guofan's river defense strategy failed, and he resigned, and the Qing court ordered Li Hongzhang to take over.

Li Hongzhang took the opportunity to expand the Huai army, from 40,000 to 70,000, and the Ming army's horse battalion increased particularly rapidly, among the more than 7,000 war horses in the Huai army's 28 horse battalions, about 13 battalions and more than 3,500 horses belonged to the Ming army.

The Ming army was responsible for chasing and suppressing the East Twist Army, which lasted three years, and finally defeated the East Twist Army in Yangzhou Wayaopu.

The Qing court awarded Liu Mingchuan the rank of third-class lieutenant of the light car, and rewarded him with items such as knives with white jade handles. Liu Mingchuan asked for leave to return to his hometown to recuperate on the grounds that the reward was too small and he was sick from overwork to mount. When the East Twist Army was dying, the West Twist Army heard the news and rushed to Tianjin. The Qing court was frightened, and strictly urged Liu Mingchuan to lead the army to escort it. Liu Mingchuan proposed to Li Hongzhang to lead the West Twist Army to the narrow strip between the Yellow River, the Canal, and the Tuxiao River, and the Ming Army fought a decisive battle with the West Twist Army after it was surrounded, causing the West Twist Army to be annihilated.

Liu Mingchuan was promoted to a first-class man for his full merit of the Pingxi Twist Army.

Then he went to Shaanxi and Gansu to cooperate with Zuo Zongtang to suppress the **** rebellion.

After arriving in Shaanxi and Gansu, Liu Mingchuan recurred after the sequelae of his head injury, and Li Hongzhang's sponsorship as the governor of Shaanxi was unsuccessful, so he was allowed to return home for 3 months to recuperate on the grounds of "splitting his brain".

At this time, the Ming army had 20,000 horses, and Liu Mingchuan recommended Cao Kezhong, the governor of Gansu, to lead it.

Soon after Liu returned home, the soldiers of the right battalion of Wu Yi of the Ming army mutinied because they did not obey Cao Kezhong's management.

Therefore, Liu Mingchuan was dismissed for recommending non-people. Liu Mingchuan was disheartened, and his will to retire was even stronger!

Whether Luo Guozhong can fight or not, Cixi knows very well in her heart that if Luo Guozhong is withdrawn, the Huai army will not be controlled by Ruilian, and there will be no need to fight if the generals are changed in battle.

Therefore, Cixi is also hesitating.

The court is arguing here, and President Meng is not idle.

After taking Yingkou, President Meng had no intention of stopping, and shelled Benxi every day, and asked Yingkou to send a small force of cavalry to cruise around Panjin in many ways, resulting in a situation of attacking Panjin.

President Meng is not a person who likes to hand over his fate to his opponents, he doesn't know what the Qing court will do next, he just knows that he has to fight!

Panjin is the last barrier of Shanhaiguan, Panjin Shou General was originally under the management of the Shanhaiguan Military Preparation Provincial Administration, and now because the Shanhaiguan Military Preparation Provincial Government Office Daotai You Chengxi is under control, Panjin Guarding General has to ask General Sheng Jing for help, and General Sheng Jing is even more urgent to Beijing day after day.
