The next day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In the Taihe Palace, after some difficult persuasion work, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang finally persuaded most of the Manchu minions!

Their verbal support and, of course, Cixi's promises were obtained......

These made Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang excited, after all, the expansion speed of the remnants of the Taiping Army has already scared Li Hongzhang.

And now everything is in the past tense, after gaining the full support of the imperial court, Li Hongzhang's army immediately snowballed!

After all, there are some things that Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang dare not do to the landlord class, and will the Manchus be afraid of this? That's how they got started......

Of course, Li Hongzhang, who has received a lot of financial support, does not need to pay a price, but compared to the precarious situation in front, Li Hongzhang is willing to choose to be like today!

……

As a result of the compromise, Li Hongzhang became the military commander of the Manchurian New Army, and Zuo Zongtang, who was originally in charge of the cavalry of the New Army, handed over the military power in his hands, took a step back, and became Li Hongzhang's deputy.

The command of the cavalry unit he handed over was naturally taken over by Cixi's henchman Ronglu, as for Zuo Zongtang was depressed...... Li Hongzhang can't care about it, at least for now!

……

When Li Hongzhang and the others were still bullshit, Yang Desheng had already raised the scale of the army to 200,000 people, and at the same time, Zhou Yuancheng was not idle, and he also pulled up the Taiping army with 120,000 people...... But by this time, the two of them had discovered a problem, that is, there were not enough guns in their hands!

So I hurriedly passed...... When Li Qing left, the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau who stayed behind urgently contacted Zhang Yun, and Yang Desheng originally thought that this time, it would still go smoothly as before.

As a result, Zhang Yun suddenly rejected the request of the two of them, and Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng, who received Zhang Yun's call back, were dumbfounded at the same time......

With only the tens of thousands of rifles in his hand, Yang Desheng suddenly found that this prince of the Taiping Army didn't seem to be so easy to do!

In a tent, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng were relatively speechless......

Suddenly, Zhou Yuancheng said: "Zhang Yun's behavior is to make it clear that he wants to pull our brothers as cannon fodder and fight to the death with the Manchu army, but he does not give our brothers enough arms to prevent our brothers from developing and growing directly, so as not to listen to him." ”

"This kind of behavior...... It's all his heart to be punished, I don't know what you think, Brother Yang? ”

Yang Desheng naturally understands what Zhou Yuancheng said, but as an old fox, he has never expressed his views easily, so he faces Zhou Yuancheng's problem.

Yang Desheng asked rhetorically: "I don't know what Brother Zhou's plan is for this?" The little brother is a little confused, and he can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest! ”

Zhou Yuancheng was greatly satisfied when he saw this, and said: "As the saying goes: all the birds are flying, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooking...... Today's Manchu court has already collapsed with one push, if the two of us do our best to entangle the Manchu Qing for Zhang Yun,"

"I don't know, Brother Yang has thought about the fate of the two of us? Zhou dares to guarantee that the end will not be beautiful......"

After the two of them talked for another afternoon, Zhou Yuancheng left drunk, and after he left, Yang Desheng suddenly spat on his back.

"Phew......"

I want Lao Tzu to make the first bird!

The various ...... that Zhou Yuancheng talked about just now Yang Desheng actually knows it, to put it bluntly, he just wants to reach some kind of tacit understanding with the Manchu Qing side!

But this kind of behavior will definitely be listed in Zhang Yun's place, how did Li Xiucheng die? Obviously, Zhou Yuancheng wants to follow Li Xiucheng's old path again, but he is not dying fast enough!

Some people's brains are just not good enough, and they have just seen Zhang Yun's majesty soon, but in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yuancheng began to play other ghost ideas, which was nothing, but he wanted to fool Lao Tzu to be a substitute for the dead, which was unbearable......

Therefore, in the subsequent ...... Yang Desheng immediately wrote a letter by hand, not daring to transmit it through the telegraph operator left by Li Qing, but through a fast horse, he asked his henchmen to send it directly to Xiangxi and hand it over to Zhang Yun.

After delivering the letter, Yang Desheng looked at Zhou Yuancheng's military tent and sneered...... This is really self-inflicted!

At the same time, Zhou Yuancheng thought that Yang Desheng would stand on the same front as him, so he immediately sent people to the capital, hoping to catch up with Li Hongzhang.

Of course, he didn't hide all this from Yang Desheng, on the contrary, he invited Yang Desheng and sent someone to discuss some details......

Li Hongzhang, who was on the outskirts of the capital, received a messenger from the Taiping Army, and what he talked about was how to act between the two sides in the future!

Originally, if Li Hongzhang had received a letter of this nature before this defeat, he would have cut the messenger directly, but now he was moved in his heart and was not so reckless.

Because Li Hongzhang also thought that in the future, he might need the Taiping Army to cooperate with him to perform a few good scenes, so as to fool Cixi......

This is because out of the same demand, although Li Hongzhang did not dare to meet the Taiping envoy in the barracks, he came to a certain inn in the capital on this day and personally met Zhou Yuancheng's cronies.

Of course, an alliance is not so simple, although it is not an alliance, but a simple conclusion of some kind of tacit understanding!

However, after several months of tug-of-war negotiations, Li Hongzhang and Zhou Yuancheng finally reached some kind of tacit understanding!

The two breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, from now on, as long as there is no major turmoil in their own strength, then the future pattern will become like this, and there will be no major changes.

Although he reached a tacit understanding with Li Hongzhang, Zhou Yuancheng obviously would not stop there, but launched an exterminating attack on the big families even more frantically, at this juncture of the upcoming New Year, the north and the entire Central Plains do not know how many tragedies have happened.

Of course, Yang Desheng also used the same method, and it can even be said that to a certain extent, Yang Desheng, who got some hints from Zhang Yun, is even more amazing than Zhou Yuancheng......

In order to clear the way for Zhang Yun's future unification war, Yang Desheng, who had already turned to Zhang Yun with an iron heart, not only did not run any base areas in this expansion war.

On the contrary, like crazy, he went to the whole north and the Central Plains, and took the 120,000 troops behind him, like locusts, to plague the entire north...... Thousands of miles of uninhabited!

Of course, Yang Desheng, who got some hints from Zhang Yun, never went to kill ordinary people like Zhou Yuancheng from beginning to end, and always kept a hand for ordinary people.

At the same time, Zhang Yun, who was in Xiangxi, couldn't hold back for a while after receiving Yang Desheng's secret report, so he could only jump up and scold his mother!

Just killed Li Xiucheng, and in the blink of an eye, Zhou Yuancheng was going to jump out and make trouble again?
