Chapter 56 - After the Fact
It's night,
The fire of the Li Mansion reflected half of the sky in the capital!
Because the wall was too high, the fire was blocked in the Li Mansion! It didn't spread to the outside at all. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
It took a whole hour to extinguish it!
Because the wind was too strong, it had only been more than ten minutes since the fire started, and the camels and their unoiled floors were also set on fire, and finally the entire Li Mansion was burned to a white ground!
Forbidden city
Cixi turned around in the middle of the night and found that it was too bright outside! got up one after another, called the palace maid and eunuch over and reprimanded him!
Didn't the mourning family order, "Don't light the lamp after going to bed!" ”
Which minion ordered this?
At this time, An Dehai was also awakened, and the Queen Mother Qiqi: It's not the lamp that the minions lit outside, it seems that the house of an adult outside the palace is in the water!
And it's very close to the palace, otherwise you can't see it in the palace......
Oh! Xiao Lizi, you ordered to go down and investigate, and see which prince's minister's mansion suffered! Come and tell the mourners tomorrow morning.
Phew! You all stand down, and don't disturb the Queen Mother's rest.
drove the palace maids and eunuchs out of the room, and An Dehai turned around and left.
The next day, the morning meeting!
All the ministers are gathered, the children of Tongzhi sit on the dragon chair, and the queen mother of the two palaces sits behind the curtain.
Since Ci'an is not very much of a council, he has always been left to Cixi to govern!
"Yesterday's fire, which prince's minister's house happened? disturbed the mourning family and didn't sleep well all night! ”
Devil Six immediately stood up, Qi Yu Queen Mother, it is reported that Li Hongzhang's house went to the water, but it is said that it was caused by arson!
"Arson"?
Li Hongzhang's mansion was set on fire! Cixi couldn't help but be stunned for a while, this is the ...... important ministers of the country!
Find out who did it? Such thieves will not be forgiven.
Back to the mother's words, the soldiers and horses of the five cities patrolled to the outside of Lord Li's house last night, and found that there were suspicious people who couldn't stay.
"Rush forward and ask!"
Who knows who turned around and ran! At the place where he stayed, it was found that there were traces of climbing on the wall of Lord Li's house, and he was later transferred to successfully arrest him.
It's just that at this time, there is a fire in Lord Li's house, and the fire borrows the wind, and only one cup of tea is uncontrollable.
Several thieves rushed out of the fire, and the soldiers who went to fight the fire were killed by dozens of people! One person committed suicide after being injured and caught, and the other two escaped!
"Oh! Didn't you catch someone? I asked, who instructed it? ”
Empress Dowager Qi, in fact, you don't need to interrogate, you know whose hand it is,
Because the rifle they used was exclusively for the Xiangxi Zhang bandits, and the foreigners didn't have it!
What's more, who is caught is a soft bone!
In order to survive, before he was judged, he confessed everything! Zhang Bandit's military intelligence agent spies,
Xiangxi Zhang bandit? Isn't that thief standing still? Why did you make people come to Beijing to stir up the wind and rain? Cixi just finished asking,
Below, everyone is buzzing! It's all shouting and swearing!
Cixi waved her hand in some disgust, and although through the curtain, some ministers still saw it,
The buzz below immediately stopped!
Devil Six glanced at these birdmen helplessly! said that Zhang Yun was a thief and should be severely punished!
What's the use of saying this, can you still go to Hunan and arrest him?
"Isn't this adding to the block for the Queen Mother! No wonder Cixi hated these ministers,"
None of them have real skills! The mouth cannon is more powerful than the other, and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are all so awesome!
I still need Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang! To train the new army?
Cixi saw that the following was cold! I had no choice but to ask Devil Six what to do?
The Empress Dowager Qi, that thief gathered hundreds of thousands of people in Hunan! You have to fight the army to capture him to the capital.
And now the Taiping thieves are raging everywhere in the northern provinces! How many gentry have been ...... by its scourge,
Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, two adults, are also tired every day! I tried my best to entangle with them, but I was really powerless, and I commanded the army to go south in a short time to find trouble with the thief!
According to the minister, it is better to send this news to the barracks to Li Hongzhang, and let him decide! But there is one article, the minister asks the Queen Mother to give an order.
You must stop him from going south and go to Zhang Yun's trouble! Otherwise, once the army leaves the capital too far, the Taiping thieves will lose their containment.
"I'm afraid that the previous incident in the capital will happen again!"
Oh! You've been talking for so long, and the mourning family still doesn't know, are there any casualties in the Li Mansion?
Back to the Queen Mother: As far as the minister knows, there are no big casualties, only a few concubines of Lord Li, who covet the jewelry in the room!
After the fire started, they didn't get out of the house in time to escape, as if two of them had been burned to death!
Cixi breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Li Hongzhang's parents and family members were not burned to death! Otherwise, the court will put his family,
Forcibly invite to live in the capital! As a result, it was not well protected! As a result, there were undeserved casualties, but I don't know what he would think.
After all, Li Hongzhang * Zuo Zongtang is fighting abroad with military power, and Cixi is not without suspicion in her heart! It's just that my own people are not angry! had to rely on Hanchen.
I'm afraid! Cixi couldn't help but be angry and ...... from her heart,
roared angrily: The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, is there no one who can go to Xiangxi to suppress the thief? So much so that he is so rampant!
Hearing Cixi's words, the ministers, who had been talking non-stop before, collectively fell silent!
Joke! Zhang Thief held hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, and in the next battle of Nanjing, 120,000 Hunan troops were completely annihilated! Rely on themselves to go to Xiangxi to suppress bandits,
"Isn't this going to die?"
Cixi was even more angry when she saw this! Is it just that the thief has been rampant?
She roars up there! There was no sound at all below, and the devil saw that it was not a way to go on like this, so he had to stand up again and say:
The Queen Mother was angry, the thief had a heavy army, and he couldn't take it down by always recruiting orders, and the court could only slowly figure him out!
At present, there are no elite soldiers to deal with him, so Li and the two adults on the left can only send Xizuo to wait for an opportunity to harass! Assassinate if you have the chance.
In addition, the court has nothing to do about this thief.
"Is there no soldier in the southwestern provinces? There are so many green battalions, stationed in the place, they can't be gathered to go to this thief! ”
The ministers below smiled bitterly!
If the green battalion soldiers and horses can still be used, where can they get it, Li Hongzhang * Zuo Zongtang will come out. Won't we go on a crusade ourselves?
Not to mention the mental activity of the ministers!
Devil Liudao: Now the green battalion soldiers and horses can only defend the city, and they can barely go to suppress a bandit or something!
As for letting them gather together to deal with bandits like Zhang Thief! The Queen Mother, please don't make such plans!
It doesn't matter if you can't win the thief! The ministers are afraid of them, and when the time comes, they will surrender before the battle! transformed into his person,
"That's bad!"
Seeing that I can't help Zhang Yun! Cixi suddenly thought: Can the imperial court recruit him first, and wait for the peace thief to be extinguished,
If you deal with him again, when the thief has no military power, won't he be disposed of with a piece of paper?
The Queen Mother thought about this matter too simply, at the beginning, before Lord Zeng was dismissed, she had already tried to recruit him.
It didn't work out!
Zeng Guopan once recruited him? Then why didn't it work out at that time......
Is it because Zeng Guofan gave him a small official? The mourning family can give him a big official to do, as long as he is willing to put down his military power and come to the capital to be sealed, the mourning family will agree to him first!
After Cixi asked, she waited for the devil to answer, but there was silence below, none of the ministers present were unclear about the recruitment conditions that Zhang Yun wanted at the beginning, who dared to pick up the topic of Cixi!
Cixi saw that no one answered, and looked at Devil Six again, and saw the Queen Mother looking straight at him,
The six devils had to come out and answer, because the conditions that the thief wanted at the beginning were simply not what the courtiers should want!
Therefore, Lord Zeng Guofan had no choice but to reject him!
I'm afraid that Cixi is still entangled in this topic! The six devils had to change the topic,
The arsonist who was caught, what should be done with that person, the Queen Mother can have a will.
"What else to do?"
Send it to the mourning family immediately at the entrance of the vegetable market, and Ling Chi will be executed!
The minister will go to carry out the queen mother's decree now, go ahead! Don't let anyone die early, you must cut three thousand and six knives to the mourning family!
Devil Six uses this excuse! immediately ran out of the Qianqing Palace, where I really couldn't stay, and then if it was Cixi, ask Zhang Yun's request again!
What do you want him to say, do you want to say that Zhang Yun wants to be the emperor! "Isn't this asking for your own life?"
What do the Queen Mothers of the Two Palaces in the Forbidden City think?
Zhang Yun doesn't know!
The military intelligence bureau's base in Beijing is a very large base, so it has long been equipped with a radio transmitter.
As early as the morning after the fire in the Li Mansion, Zhang Yun had already received information,
Wang Xiaofei stood in the tent, cold sweat broke out on his forehead! It's a shame this time!
There was a traitor under his command! And two of his men were captured, and they would rather die than surrender!
But as a superior, he didn't choose to resist to the end!
Zhang Yun looked at Wang Xiaofei with some amusement! The occurrence of such a situation will still have a great negative impact on the newly established Military Intelligence Bureau.
Of course, Zhang Yun actually understands this phenomenon, you don't see future generations, those talents with professional and technical talents,
In the process of promotion, how can you compete with those who can apply the course of whiskers and horses to the extreme!
After all, in any course, there will always be people who are talented, and no matter how they learn, some people can't learn the three flavors!
Zhang Yun has no way to deal with this phenomenon!
It's not that he doesn't want to take care of it, but he can't manage it at all!
A person who slaps a horse can climb faster than someone who has real skills! This is the truth that is true everywhere,
"He himself can not listen to sycophants!"
But he can only ensure that the high-level officers under him have two brushes, but he can't do it, so that all the low-level officers are real people.
These problems will depend on the subordinates, level by level!
"He alone can't conquer the world!"
But if there is no accountability for this matter? That's not going to do it either!
This board on Wang Xiaofei's ass! I can't save anything,
I've seen enough of Wang Xiaofei's jokes!
"Sit down! What are you doing standing? ”
It's not like you became a soldier! What are you nervous about?
Seeing that Zhang Yun was finally willing to speak, Wang Xiaofei breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he was willing to ignore him, it meant that Zhang Yun was not really angry!
After seeing him sit down according to his words, Zhang Yun said: That traitor, your military intelligence bureau still has to deal with it! Can't let him get away in the capital.
Otherwise, the negative impact will be really too great, and as soon as the spies in the future are caught, they will immediately learn from each other!
"That handsome man has to be blind!"
Please rest assured, a traitor of our MIA, even if he mixes well with the Manchu Qing Dynasty, our CIA will not let him go!
That's it? Don't you have anything else to say to Ben Shuai?
For example, how to rectify, the intelligence system!
