With the battle in Shangcai County, Zhumadian gradually spread in the world. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

The recruitment work of Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang is becoming more and more difficult!

After all, failure once can be said to be luck, and failure twice can be said to be a ghost on the other side, but there is an old saying in China since ancient times: there are only three things......

You Li Hongzhang have been defeated three times in a row, and now you have come to my house again, desperately fooling Lao Tzu that if you can defeat Zhang Yun, you only owe so much money and food!

The landlords and gentry in the whole world are not all fools, on the contrary, they are quite well-informed, in this case, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang's conscription......

From the beginning, the difficulty of this task was beyond the imagination of the two of them!

Compared to the hard battle with the two of them...... The corresponding expansion speed of the Taiping army has reached an unbelievable level.

Before Zhang Yun retreated, considering that Li Hongzhang had been disabled, he brought out the 200,000 Mauser 98K rifles from the base, and in the end he only left 100,000, and they were evenly distributed to Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng.

Although there are fewer rifles than before, and Zhang Yun doesn't let them clean up the battlefield, it doesn't matter, in fact, with the current force of the two of them, there is no one in the entire north who can deter them......

What's more, Li Hongzhang went to the door to ask others for money and food, but Yang Desheng and the two of them went directly with guns to break the ...... Of course, there are not a few people who kill people and set fires, and they destroy their families!

Doing business, or to Yang Desheng and them, no capital to buy and sell fast, so in the post-war reconstruction work, Yang Desheng left Li Hongzhang far away, as time passes, this progress may be gradually expanded, until the end can not be reversed!

In this regard, Li Hongzhang was naturally anxious, and he didn't know how many ways he had thought of, and even ambushed Yang Desheng and the others, but they all had little effect.

In this case, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, after gathering more than 100,000 troops, resolutely embarked on the journey to the capital.

Anyway, with more than 100,000 troops in hand, Cixi obviously didn't dare to do anything to the two of them, and at this time, seeing that the Taiping Army could not compete, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang were left......

went to Cixi, the imperial court, and the name of righteousness, hoping to rely on the support of the imperial court to narrow the distance with the Taiping army.

As for the idea of comparing with Zhang Yun again, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang at this time didn't dare to think about it at all.

After a difficult trek, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang finally met Cixi in the capital, and this meeting was destined to fall into weirdness from the beginning!

Of course, both sides are top-notch, and they didn't let this embarrassing and weird atmosphere last long, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang took the lead in breaking the silence.

"The ministers knocked on the Queen Mother's ......"

Cixi sneered: "The mourning family doesn't dare to be, such a great gift from the two adults, I have a population of hundreds of millions of people, but there is only an army of tens of thousands of people, and it is not far from annihilation, both of them are the best among the people, it is better to find a good way to retreat as soon as possible, according to the mourning family, it seems that Xiangxi Zhang Bandit is very good......"

After Cixi was rambling aggressively on it for a long time, Li Hongzhang finally couldn't help but say: "Regarding the doubts of the Queen Mother, of course the ministers can solve your doubts, but please calm down first." ”

After her tirade was interrupted by Li Hongzhang, Cixi did not get angry, she was just a dissatisfaction with her heart, and vented some nonsense, and Cixi who came to her senses at this time ...... But he will never continue to be angry at Li Hongzhang for something impossible!

After a moment of silence for each other.

Li Hongzhang took the lead and said: "Maybe the Empress Dowager doesn't understand how fast the reconstruction work of the Taiping Army is, please explain it to you......"

Next, Li Hongzhang talked for half an hour about the various ...... since the Taiping Army was rebuilt. and the bottlenecks and problems encountered by their own armies.

Li Hongzhang told Cixi all about this, and at the same time emphasized that if the development of the Taiping Army is not curbed, then they will no longer be able to curb it in the future, and they dare not go south to find Zhang Yun's trouble, but the whole world is only so big......

When Li Hongzhang was trying his best to persuade Cixi, Zuo Zongtang was also desperately adding to the side...... To sum it up, it can be summed up in one sentence: if the Taiping army is not contained, I am afraid that the capital will be in danger!

After saying these words clearly, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang tried their best to tell Cixi that in the entire Qing Dynasty, no one except for himself could take on such a heavy responsibility.

These words made Cixi sneer...... But she couldn't help it, the last time, the reason why she could drive Zeng Guofan back to her hometown without hesitation.

That's because she still has the support of Li Hongzhang's hundreds of thousands of troops in her hands, and now, the entire Qing Dynasty is only left with the waste of those green battalions, and there are still hundreds of thousands of troops left in Li Hongzhang's hands.

In this case, Cixi could only hold back the anger in her heart, listen, the following two minions are *******

It wasn't until Li Hongzhang finished speaking that Cixi said: "What did you say to the mourning family...... The mourning family can't make their own decisions, so it's better to go to the Taihe Hall tomorrow, and then you will give the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces to explain these theories clearly! ”

Then Cixi served tea and sent off the guests, in fact, to this day, Cixi and Li Hongzhang, there is no red tape between the two sides, power is based on strength, and the Manchu court at this time has no ability to punish powerful ministers like Li Hongzhang!

If Zhang Yun was here at the moment, he would probably come to the last sentence: I have to say that this is a sad story!

……

After Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang withdrew, An Dehai leaned in Cixi's ear and said, "The Queen Mother just let the two dog slaves go out?" Like the attitude of these two dog minions, the minions thought that the Queen Mother would behead them! ”

Cixi glanced at An Dehai obliquely, "Some things are not as simple as you think as a dog minion, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, the two minions, now have heavy troops in their hands, and they are the only army in my hands that can be wielded ......"

"In this case, how do you tell the mourning family to do something to them?"

In fact, Cixi still has a sentence, which is stuffy in her heart, and An Dehai said...... Although the 100,000 troops at this time still listened to Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang.

But since the two of them couldn't feed this group of troops and ran to ask for help, then Cixi naturally had other thoughts in her heart.

Similarly, for the hundreds of thousands of defeated soldiers, who is allegiance not allegiance?

Why hang themselves on a tree in Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, as long as Cixi stretches out an olive branch, I believe they will definitely make a move......
