Su Shun bowed to Xianfeng and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that Tianjin's military affairs are heavy, so he directly transferred Guo Ye from the hands of the monk to stay in Beijing, and at the same time set up a firearms battalion on the spot, which is indeed difficult for some strongmen. ”

Xianfeng smiled when he heard this: "Aiqing is reasonable, Monk King, since I have left your beloved general, I naturally have to compensate you, all the military and political officials in the capital, although you propose it, no matter which one it is, as long as you think it can be helpful to you, I will do it!" ”

Monk Greenqin was helpless, and replied: "Your Majesty, the current situation in Tianjin is still not completely improved, the British and French countries will still launch another attack on Dagukou at any time, although the minister does not dare to be arrogant, however, it is a little lonely, since the emperor said so, the minister please transfer the Taichang Temple Qing Shengbao Lord to assist me, Sheng Kezhai is proficient in military affairs, good at military strategy, with him to help me, it is good to increase some chances of victory." ”

Xianfeng nodded and replied: "Decree, Taichang Temple Qing Shengbao concurrently serves as the commander of the Red Banner Han Army, and the monk will run the military affairs of Gyeonggi, and the household department will allocate 400,000 taels of military salary, and the former monk and king have written to the Gyeonggi Qing army for several months and only receive half of the salary, which is really not easy, that is, to make up for the arrears!" ”

A victory, plus 400,000 salaries, can be regarded as sending Monk Greenqin away, and now the bigwigs in the court are interested in leaving Guo Ye behind, even if Monk Greenqin is reluctant, there is no way to do it now.

The morning dynasty dispersed, Monk Greenqin came to the noon gate, he was full of interest when he went, and when he came back, Guo Ye saw it at a glance, his heart sank, and he said in a low voice: "Lord Wang, what's wrong, what's on your mind?" ”

Monk Greenqin sighed and said, "Guo Ye, the affairs of the firearms battalion have changed, alas, ......"

Guo Ye was shocked, has there been a change? Could it be that those bigwigs in the court are a bunch of bastards, and they are not even allowed to form a firearms battalion?

Monk Greenqin continued: "In the early dynasty, the ministers proposed that you be left in Beijing to be responsible for training the firearms battalion, and after the army is formed, you will be stationed in the capital on the spot. ”

Guo Ye's heart settled down a little, as long as he let the firearms battalion be formed, then the others can be put aside first, as for whether it is in the capital or in Tianjin, there is not much difference, from the capital to Tianjin, but hundreds of miles, day and night, three days is enough to arrive!

Guo Ye sighed slightly: "Lord Wang, at this time, the British and French forces have not completely retreated, and it is possible to continue to attack at any time, so it seems inappropriate for us to leave the future main force of the firearms battalion in the capital......

Monk Greenqin said helplessly: "There is no way to do it, I have tried my best to fight for it, but the ministers have suggested that a firearms battalion be formed in the capital, and the emperor is also quite moved, and the king is also sighing in vain, so he can only ask for a victory and a 400,000 taels of silver from the emperor to make a comfort." ”

Guo Ye was silent for a moment, and replied: "Lord Wang, this is nothing, when the war in Tianjin is together and the military situation is urgent, you can transfer me back to Tianjin, even if you can't transfer the firearms battalion back to Tianjin, I will go to Tianjin alone to fight with the foreigners!" ”

Monk Lingqin laughed and said: "Good boy, I take a fancy to this momentum on you, and I will not let it go!" This is the demeanor of a general, so he hesitated, those are all the things that girls do! ”

While laughing, the chief eunuch Lu Xi came over and said, "Lord Wang, it turns out that you are here, our palace is almost over, and the emperor has summoned you and Guo Shenling to meet you!" ”

Monk Greenqin shouted: "Guo Ye, come over to see the head of Luxi, he is a popular person around the emperor, and he will inevitably want him to carry you in the future." ”

A trace of helplessness floated in Guo Ye's heart, what about it, a dead eunuch, and Lao Tzu also wanted to bow to him? Grandma's, can't you give people a way to live?

Guo Ye bowed down and said: "I have seen Chief Manager Lu in my humble position, and I will ask Chief Manager Lu to take care of me in the future......

Lu Xi looked at the young man in front of him, this guy is a person that the emperor values, for this guy, the emperor even allocated more than 400,000 taels of silver to the monk and the prince in one go! The future is very promising.

Lu Xi hurriedly smiled and said: "This is the famous Guo Shenling, hehe, hurry up and go in with our family, the emperor is waiting a little anxious!" ”

The two of them walked into the Qianqing Palace with Lu Xi, and the banquet had not yet started at this time.

Monk Lingqin took a few steps forward and said to Xianfeng: "Your Majesty, the staff leader Guo Ye has been brought in, you see ......"

Xianfeng's eyes lit up, and he shouted: "Well, let him come up, I will first take a look at this thousand-mile horse that you and Yintang discovered!" ”

Monk Greenqin hurriedly called Guo Ye forward.

Guo Ye knelt down towards Xianfeng: "Guo Ye, the leader of the firearms battalion, meets the emperor!" ”

Because it is not a court, Xianfeng has also changed into civilian clothes, and there is no need to bow three times and bow nine times between the monarchs and ministers, Xianfeng replied lightly: "Okay, this is not a court, Guo Aiqing doesn't have to be formal, stand up and talk back......"

Guo Ye stood up, Xianfeng looked at it with a smile, the young man looked very energetic!

Xianfeng asked: "Guo Aiqing, let's set up a firearms battalion, I heard from the monk king, it's all your proposal?" ”

Guo Ye hurriedly replied: "Yes, because of the battle of Dagukou, under the command of the monk and the prince, he assisted Lord Yintang to defeat the British army and the French army, and captured a large number of military materials, including thousands of Western-style muskets, which are powerful, long-range, high-precision, and a lot of bullets, which are completely enough for us to form a firearms battalion......

Xianfeng nodded and asked, "Then, Guo Aiqing, how long will it take to form a firearms battalion to form combat power?" Once formed, what is the combat power? ”

Guo Ye replied: "Your Majesty, the Beijing division is important, there are many military brigades, we can choose from them, Weichen intends to select in one month, half of which is transferred from the various departments, and the other half is directly recruited from the people, and then in three months, even if the initial training is completed, between half a year and a year, the combat strength of the firearms battalion can reach its peak, and the minister can guarantee that under the command of the minister, any three battalions in the Beijing division are not the opponents of the firearms battalion!" ”

One against three!

Xianfeng's eyebrows raised, this Guo Ye is so big!

"Are you sure?"

Guo Ye replied respectfully: "Your Majesty, this is still estimated on the basis of the existing guns and bullets, our bullets are limited, and some of them will be consumed during training, if our bullets are enough, the minister can say that one enemy is five, and it is not a problem!" ”
