The dispute came to an end temporarily, Zeng Guofan went back and reprimanded Zeng Guoquan and Bao Chao fiercely, the two of them had the most fun, and if it went on like this, the decline and defeat of the Hunan army would be just around the corner!

In addition, in order to appease Yan Chunyu and He Tengjiao, Zeng Guofan specially took out 10,000 taels of silver from the treasury and sent it to Yan Chunyu to treat and comfort the injured soldiers of the Lu army. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Yan Chunyu was not polite, and distributed all the 10,000 taels of silver to the soldiers of the third company, 50 taels for the uninjured, 100 taels for the injured, 300 taels for the seriously injured, and the silver taels were insufficient, and the Lu army made up for it!

After a few years, in less than three days, Guo Ye rushed from Huainan to Tianjing, after all, this is the center of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and there are still a large number of Taiping troops in the south that have not been recruited.

Hearing of Guo Ye's arrival, Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang teamed up with Yan Chunyu and He Tengjiao to welcome Guo Ye into the Heavenly King's Mansion.

Things over there in Huainan Mansion have not been completely smoothed out, Guo Ye has always known that the military discipline of the Xiang Army and the Huai Army is very poor, and he is arrogant, but that Yan Chunyu is not a master to be messed with, and he has always refused to suffer.

After everyone sat down one after another, Zeng Guofan introduced his heavy generals to Guo Ye one by one.

Zeng Guofan smiled and said: "Ming Shuai, your name has grinded out the cocoons in my ears, and it is really a blessing to see it today!" ”

Guo Ye hurriedly replied: "Di Shuai is polite, when the kid was still a rookie under the monk king, you have become the pillar of the imperial court, Zeng Disheng in the south, the monk prince in the north, without the two of you, the situation in the imperial court will be even more difficult to clean up......

Zeng Guofan nodded, his expression was a little gloomy, and replied: "It's a pity, the monk king hero I, but he fell in Henan, and it is a big pity that he didn't see today's situation, but fortunately, there is still Ming Shuai You, this is only three months, it is better than our ten years of strength, it is really beyond my reach......

"Yes, Ming Shuai, it is indeed a dragon and phoenix in the world, which makes me unreachable......"

Li Hongzhang on the side also smiled.

Guo Ye and Zeng Guofan's hearts sank, Li Hongzhang has something to say, the dragon and phoenix in the world, how can this be easily said? In the world, only the Son of Heaven can be called a dragon, and a courtier can be called a dragon, which is suspected of trespassing!

Fortunately, a flattering word, don't take it too seriously, Guo Ye and Zeng Guofan are both high and powerful, although they need to be cautious in their words and deeds, but there are some taboos that they don't need to care about, and those who are cautious can't achieve great things.

"Di Shuai, I don't know what the situation of Tianjing City is?"

After Guo Ye finished politely, the topic shifted to business, he was the minister of the Governor's War with the Long Hair, and he deserved to ask this question.

"Enlightened and handsome,"

"Greetings, you're polite."

Guo Ye smiled and waved his hand, and replied: "You and I are both important ministers of the court, and there is no distinction between high and low; In private, you are a senior, when I was born, you were already an important minister of the imperial court, so polite, but it made me a little restless, let's be casual. ”

Zeng Guofan nodded and said with a smile: "Since this is the case, then I will trespass." Ming Shuai, now the Tianjing City is under our control, and the city is in order, but the strength of the Taiping Army's East Battalion is still in the Six-in-One Belt, and it has not been disarmed and surrendered......"

Guo Ye said with a smile: "It's okay, when I came, I had already ordered the Third Brigade under my command to go to surrender, and with Shi Dakai's clear order, I won't encounter any problems." ”

Zeng Guofan continued: "In that case, do you think you should hurry up to the imperial court?" ”

Guo Ye nodded and replied: "That's right, this time I also asked Di Shuai to sign with me, although now the title of Governor of Liangjiang has been given to Guo Ye, and now Zeng Guofan still has the title of Shangshu of the Ministry of War in hand. ”

"Wait!"

Zeng Guofan was about to speak, but Yan Chunyu on the side couldn't hold back any longer, jumped out, and shouted: "Ming Shuai, you have something to say in your humble position!" ”

Guo Ye was stunned for a while, this Yan Chunyu is a little out of order, he is talking to Zeng Guofan about state affairs, what are you doing jumping out of a small chief military officer? If you have anything to say, you have to wait until you go back, but now that Yan Chunyu has stood up, it is not easy to refute his face.

"You're really looking for a time, can't you go back and say something again? Say it, say it! There is no thing to count the gifts! ”

Guo Ye glared at Yan Chunyu and said hatefully.

Yan Chunyu didn't care about Guo Ye's face, and replied: "Ming Shuai, since the capture of Tianjing by Humble Rank and Zeng Dashuai, in order to be able to maintain the order of Tianjing, our Hunan Army and Lu Army are in charge of the two departments of Tianjing and Northwest, and we have tried our best to restrain our subordinates, and we have not committed any offence against civilians; But the Hunan army is far behind, they can't even compare to bandits, looting everywhere, hurting people's lives, if it is on the battlefield, there is nothing to say, but this is after the end of the war, they even have to loot Tianjing, and even bully men and women, burn and kill **** all kinds of evil! It is really a great crime, and I ask my lord to strictly enforce military discipline and set an example! ”

Zeng Guofan on the side secretly complained, and brought it out at this time, but it was very uncomfortable! But how to reply to Guo Ye? Who took the lead in this? Naturally, Zeng Guoquan and Bao Chao are the most noisy, but the Hunan army is all training troops, and the salary is low, and there is no guarantee, and no one in the army knows when it will be disbanded, when the time comes, how to protect these people? If they are not allowed to plunder, where will their morale come from, when they have no goal?

Guo Ye was also taken aback, his face sank, he stared at Yan Chunyu, and asked, "Chunyu, is this true?" ”

Yan Chunyu said in a deep voice: "Dashuai, there are still a few people in our camp now, all of whom were captured by us when we tried to rape the women last time, waiting for the arrival of Dashuai!" ”

Guo Ye looked at Zeng Guofan and asked, "Di Shuai, how do you explain this matter?" ”

"This ......"

Zeng Guofan was speechless for a while.

"Ming Shuai, let's say it, I asked someone to do this!"

Zeng Guoquan stood up and shouted: "The two armies are fighting, morale is the most important, our Hunan army is training the army and the green camp can not be compared, they eat the military salary of the imperial court, and there is no way to compare with the Eight Banners, the privileges in their hands, I don't need to say, you know better than me, the two Jinan generals in Shandong were cut by you, our Hunan army has no military salary, the soldiers are very hard, there is no silver, where does the fighting spirit come from?" The big war is imminent, and I can only promise him to plunder, so that they can kill the enemy wholeheartedly, and now that the Taiping army is defeated, naturally I have to fulfill my promise! ”
