Chapter 114 - Wanting Revenge
This robbery war in Anyang, Henan Province, when the results spread. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Sure enough, Zuo Zongtang's own reputation has improved more than a step in the whole world!
In the past, when others mentioned the heroes in the world, they always put Zhang Yun, Li Hongzhang, and the former Zeng Guofan, and Li Xiucheng and others side by side.
Among them, Zuo Zongtang has always been a supporting character.
When others mention him, they always mention him with Li Hongzhang, or with Zeng Guofan, and never regard him as a force alone!
But this time, Zeng Guofan won a big victory with 60,000 against 100,000, and even wrote this on the report to the Manchu court......
"The thieves Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng were only spared, and the rest were gone!"
It means that there are only two thieves left in the Taiping Army now, and they can't become any climate, and they have all been wiped out by Lao Tzu......
Zuo Zongtang's twist and turn, did he put gold on his face again?
Outsiders don't know, what outsiders know is that Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng did return to Kaifeng from Anyang in a gloomy way, and the soldiers and horses they brought with them together did not exceed 3,000 people.
said that they were all wiped out and annihilated by Zuo Zongtang, but no one believed it......
Of course, the two protagonists of this play, Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng, after running to Kaifeng non-stop, naturally heard the rumors in the market, and at this moment, the two of them were almost mad!
"We must not let Zuo Zongtang, this old boy, have a better time, Lao Tzu wants him to die."
Zhou Yuancheng threw the teacup in his hand to the ground and said.
Yang Desheng nodded slightly, and at the same time, a cold light flashed in his eyes...... Who is Ren, after getting so many treasures and women, but he was immediately robbed by others!
I'm afraid he can't keep a calm mind, let alone Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng, these two villains who are not broad-minded enough......
Naturally, at this time, the two of them completely hated Zuo Zongtang, if they didn't find a way to block him, they might not be able to sleep in the future, and they would not be able to eat!
Yang Desheng said hatefully: "It's just that this one wants to take revenge, but it needs to be considered in the long run, after all, now Zuo Zongtang has become a climate, taking our hard-earned money, and recruiting troops near the capital." ”
"I'm afraid it's not now, I've already recruited four or five hundred thousand people, just with our two brothers, I'm afraid we may not be able to repay this revenge!"
When Zhou Yuancheng heard Yang Desheng's words, he was extremely unhappy, and said: "What's the use of having a lot of people?" Does he have a gun? It's not like I can only give a few big blades to my subordinates, I'm afraid he's a bird......"
"If Li Hongzhang merged with him, Lao Tzu would let him score three points, but now, you have also seen the news from the secret traitor in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang have already parted ways!"
"At this time, Li Hongzhang is Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang is Zuo Zongtang, the two of them can no longer have a relationship, if you don't dare to take revenge, then you will take the soldiers and horses to Anhui to drag Li Hongzhang, and Lao Tzu will go to the capital to settle accounts with him."
After Zhou Yuancheng finished speaking, he kept turning around the room, as if if he didn't do this, he couldn't suppress his heart that was about to jump out, and the anger he was about to erupt.
Yang Desheng shook his head when he saw this: "The elite troops in our hands have also been lost, all the rifles have been put together, and the two of us together are not enough for 50,000!" ”
"So let's talk to Zuo Zongtang, now it's half a catty and eight taels, and the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother...... If you want to defeat him, you have to enlist foreign help. ”
"In my opinion, we should hurry through the agents of the Patriotic Army...... Convey to Zhang Yun that we want to continue to buy hundreds of thousands of rifles, look at Zhang Yun, how to reply to us? ”
"I don't know, Brother Zhou, what do you think?"
Zhou Yuancheng slapped the table hard, panting and yelling: "Our two brothers suffered such a loss because they were angry with Zhang Yun, if they hadn't obeyed his orders to attack the capital, we two brothers don't know how easy they are now?" ”
"Therefore, Zhang Yun must be responsible for this matter, and Lao Tzu does not believe that he will continue to refuse and sell rifles to our two brothers."
……
When the two grass kings of the Taiping Army, a telegram wanting to buy a rifle, was transmitted to Sanya, Hainan.
Zhang Yunzheng is gathering his subordinates, discussing the situation today!
Therefore, after Zhang Yun read this telegram, he immediately told the people below the contents of it...... And ask how to reply to them?
When Zhang Yun finished speaking, Yang Feifei immediately said: "Marshal Qiqi, you can't condone them anymore, selling rifles to them again will form a great obstacle to our future unification war!" ”
"After all, in this filthy war that happened in Anyang, Zuo Zongtang was able to collect only 20,000 soldiers and horses in the end."
"And the Taiping army is even more miserable, more than 100,000 horses, only two or three thousand people, with those two grass kings back to Kaifeng, the others are scattered!"
What does this mean? Subordinates believe that you should know something! ”
"140,000 rifles have since flowed into the people, which is simply infinitely poisonous!"
"In addition, the last time Li Xiucheng died, the Taiping army lost more than 100,000 rifles......"
Zhang Yunyi waved his hand and stopped Yang Feifei's tirade, because what else did Yang Feifei say next? Zhang Yun is clear.
Don't know why? Yang's extraordinary attitude made Zhang Yun suddenly a little irritable!
It seems that this country, from ancient times to the present.
It is very taboo for the people at the bottom to master weapons, and the rulers of all dynasties and dynasties wish that all the peasants were stupid, and it is better to only know how to cultivate the land, and it would be better if they believed in Hujiao!
Because the Hu set of religion pays attention to "forbearance"
In Zhang Yun's eyes, it is because of this word of forbearance that the people of this country have been slaughtered by the superiors at will from ancient times to the present, and they don't even have any power to fight back.
For example, this time, 140,000 rifles flowed into the civilian ......
The first thing that comes to the minds of the traditional literati led by Yang Feifei is that from now on, these ** (which also shields) people are going to make trouble, and it will be difficult to rule in the future, and it will be difficult to fool them in the future!
Zhang Yun was particularly tired of this kind of thought, so he interrupted Yang Feifei's tirade without hesitation and didn't give him a chance to speak again.
Next, Zhang Yun set a tone, that is, it is not allowed to discuss other things, and then it is only allowed to discuss whether to continue to sell rifles to the Taiping Army?
Perhaps seeing Zhang Yun's bored attitude, although Yang Feifei didn't understand it very much, he didn't continue to dwell on this issue.
Instead, he spoke again: "My subordinates still don't approve of continuing to sell rifles to the Taiping Army, after all, Li Hongzhang is now controlled by our own people, and he can't become a climate anymore!" ”
"And Zuo Zongtang in the north, he only has one or two hundred thousand rifles in his hands, so to speak, he can't become a climate, and at this time, if he sells guns to the Taiping Army, I'm afraid it will be a big trend, and please think twice."
Zhang Yun sneered and said: "With the relationship between the British and us, as well as their attention to our domestic situation, plus they now have the control of the sea in the whole of East Asia. ”
"Do you Yang Feifei dare to guarantee that they will not continue to sell rifles to Zuo Zongtang?"
"What Ben Shuai wants to tell you...... The cunning of the British is definitely beyond your imagination, because they are smarter than you, and their eyes are farther than you......"
"And Ben Shuai's next thing to tell you is that according to intelligence, the Manchu court has made contact with the British on behalf of Zuo Zongtang, and they don't mean to drink alcohol!"
"So don't look at it now, Zuo Zongtang seems to be a dead cat, with hundreds of thousands of troops, but only one or two hundred thousand rifles, just like duckweed in the wind, it will be wiped out at any time!"
"But as long as the British find out the situation in our country!"
"Based on Ben Shuai's inference, they will definitely not let go of this and give Ben Shuai the opportunity to block it, so soon Zuo Zongtang will tremble again."
"And as long as he gets one or two hundred thousand rifles, won't he turn an old hen into a duck in an instant?"
Seeing Zhang Yun roaring, it was almost useless to criticize Yang Feifei.
Chen Gui couldn't sit still anymore, if he didn't stand up and support Yang Feifei at this time, then the next time he was hit, would he still expect Yang Feifei to jump out to help him block the thunder?
So Chen Gui also interjected and said: "Please also calm your anger, the British are a bunch of barbarians, all they want is some money!" ”
"For our social artifact, there should be no covetousness, besides, their country is small and the people are weak, and they are not yet fully civilized, so their subordinates don't understand why the marshal is so jealous of them?"
After hearing Chen Gui's words of contempt for barbarians, Zhang Yun was almost so angry that the three corpse gods jumped!
At that moment, he couldn't hold back any longer, and roared: "Chen Gui, since you look down on the red-haired barbarians, then okay, Ben Shuai will give you ten warships, and you will immediately take the fleet out of the port to meet them......"
"Anyway, they have been wandering on the sea near Sanya recently...... If you want to come to Ben Shuai's trouble, if you can send them away for Ben Shuai, Ben Shuai will definitely not be stingy with rewards. ”
The corners of Chen Gui's mouth twitched, but he couldn't speak all the time, although in the eyes of his traditional literati, barbarians were indeed insignificant......
But like the common problem of all literati, Chen Gui is also very hard-mouthed, but if he is really asked to do things, he has become a soft-footed shrimp again!
Thinking of leading his troops to the sea to fight with those barbarians, Chen Gui immediately shrank his head, no matter how much he despised the other party in his heart, but in terms of action, he still had to fully respect the other party......
And Zhang Yun saw that Chen Gui had shrunk his head, and knew that he was very good-looking, so he didn't continue to chase after him and target him.
On the contrary, he straightened the building that had been crooked!
"Okay, let's discuss next, how many rifles should be sold to the Taiping Army?" Zhang Yun asked again.
