How could Cao Yuying and Zeng Guofan go directly to Guo Ye's camp because of Guo Ye's words? This is simply impossible, but Guo Ye's words also made the two of them almost sit on the ground!

Cao Yuying is still almost, I don't know how powerful Yan Chunyu is, but Zeng Guofan knows that this Yan Chunyu is a first-class fierce general under Guo Ye, when he encircled and suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this guy was already in charge, leading thousands of people, crisscrossing southern Henan and western Anhui, taking Anqing with lightning speed, and then going straight down the river, straight to Nanjing, the means are superb, the Manxiang army, no one can compare, this guy is like a madman at war, no one can think of which leg he wants to take next!

If Yan Chunyu really led 30,000 elites to attack Beijing City, not to mention half a month, Beijing City would be able to withstand ten days, even if it was burning high incense!

Looking at the anxious appearance of the two people, Guo Ye was very calm, and laughed: "Haha, Ziyu, Quan Shuai, I can't sit still, but it doesn't matter, both of them are famous figures, I will never embarrass the two, since you don't want to stay, then please go back, Guo Ye sends the two!" ”

Seeing this, the two of them hurriedly said goodbye, who knows if this Guo Ye will change his hexagram again for a while?

Sending off the two people, Guo Ye's heart was shocked, he laughed, he was really happy, these two people came too timely, as long as they brought the news back to Beijing, I believe that the old and young people of the Manchu Qing Dynasty would go crazy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Someone, send a letter to Yan Chunyu, asking him to lead the two divisions to quickly advance two hundred miles, and let those officials and masters practice their courage!"

"Yes!"

The staff officer on the side hurriedly agreed.

Guo Ye stretched his waist, stood up, came to the courtyard, patronized and was busy, it has been very hard recently, as long as the negotiation is reached, everything will be fine, and you can rest for a long time.

"Dashuai!"

An operational staff officer ran over and said in a low voice: "Great Marshal, the foreigners have sent news from the sea that they are willing to accept the peace talks, and will send a mission of the four countries, including the generals of the four countries, to Tianjin to negotiate with us and discuss the armistice. ”

Guo Ye nodded and replied: "Okay, tell Gao Qi that all the troops will not move at the mouth of Dagu, beware of a surprise attack by the coalition forces, and let the envoys of the four countries rush to Tianjin City by boat along the river, and I will wait for them in Tianjin City!" ”

Guo Ye made arrangements, back and forth, and in two days, the four-nation legation led by Dundas Malton came to the city of Tianjin on a gunboat, ready to negotiate with Guo Ye.

"Mr. Envoys, welcome back to Tianjin City ...... again"

Guo Ye bowed his hand to several ministers and expressed his welcome.

The same is Tianjin City, now the ministers and generals of various countries have long since lost the arrogance of entering Tianjin City last time, and have been completely subdued by Guo Ye, this war does not want to be before, this is a real hard fight, and there is no need to even use any external force, the Lu army of four divisions will completely defeat the Four-Nation Alliance, even if it is a powerful senior general such as Dundas, he has to be willing to gamble and lose, and express his admiration for Guo Ye's war command ability.

Dundas and the others looked very bad, the losses of the four countries in this battle were too serious, and the 110,000 army was almost wiped out, and they didn't even have a chance to escape back to the sea......

However, even if Dundas is in a high position, this is not the place for him to play, after all, Malton is the plenipotentiary minister of the British Empire, and Gro is the plenipotentiary minister of the French Empire.

"General Guo Ye, amazing, amazing, contemptible admiration, hehe, the name of General Fei is really worthy of his name!"

Guo Ye replied lightly: "Everyone, let's not talk nonsense, since the negotiations are coming, let's go straight, when to start negotiations, I need to end the war as soon as possible, of course, presumably you also hope to end this war quickly, if it continues, it will not be beneficial to both sides." ”

"General Guo Ye, before I negotiate, I need you to connect the telegrams with the outside world for us, some important matters, we need to obtain the authorization of the domestic government, and even communicate with the government on some matters, so as to be able to quickly promote the negotiations in front of us!"

Malton said.

Guo Ye nodded and said with a smile: "This is very simple, now the telegraph communication from Tianjin to Hong Kong to Nanyang and even to the West is connected, I will provide you with a special telegraph machine, so that you can communicate with the country, I also have to make some preparations, five days, five days later, we will officially start negotiations!" ”

"General Guo Ye, we also need Tianjin City to be able to provide food and fresh water, and we still have tens of thousands of troops waiting to be supplied above the sea, I hope that during the negotiations, you can provide us with corresponding food and ......"

Gro said in a deep voice, after all, now that Malacca and the Philippines have fallen, it is too awkward to transport baggage from the South Seas, so it is better to supply it nearby.

"Yes,"

Guo Ye replied, "Every day, Tianjin City will provide your army with 20 tons of rice, 200 tons of drinking water, 200 tons of fresh fruits, and 20 tons of vegetables, but you have to pay us money, well, not much, 10,000 pounds a day......

10,000 pounds!

It's so dark!

Malton was speechless: "General Guo, you are too inhumane like this, right?" Otherwise, our combined fleet will go to the South Seas now and solve the logistics supply on our own? ”

"Are you dreaming?"

Guo Ye's face sank, and he said coldly: "Mr. Marton, if your army wants to go to Nanyang, then I will think that you have declared war on our army again!" ”

"Then you can't open your mouth! 10,000 pounds, that's equivalent to 70,000 taels of silver! Just these things of yours can be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver? ”

Tens of thousands of taels of silver, I'm afraid that even 10,000 taels of silver is not worth it, even in China, one tael of silver, then you can buy a load of grain, that is, a hundred catties, fifty kilograms, twenty tons of rice, that is only forty or fifty taels of silver, as for drinking water, it is not worth it at all, I have not heard of in China, where is selling water, the water in the river, you can drink it! As for fresh fruits, vegetables, and even white noodles, they are not worth a few dollars, and all of them add up to only a few thousand taels of silver!

Guo Ye snorted coldly: "Mr. Marton, don't forget, after these months of war, there are ten households and nine famines in the Gyeonggi area, and the current logistics supply of our Lu army still has to be transported from Shandong, where is there any surplus supply for your coalition army?" Not to mention the more than 20,000 of your captives and wounded? Scarcity is expensive, this is in Tianjin, if you are thrown into the Sahara Desert, I am afraid that 20,000 pounds a day is not much, right? ”
