Chapter Ninety-Five: A Sincere Admonition

Zhou Fu didn't know what Qin Chuan was thinking, and when he saw Qin Chuan frightened, he thought that Qin Chuan was repentant and introspective, and smiled slightly. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Minghong, you have lived overseas for a long time, and I am afraid that you don't know much about my Chinese culture, and it is inevitable that you will be contaminated with some foreigners' habits of being in the limelight, which is no wonder you. In my China, the ancients talked about prudence, and the meaning of the word prudence is generally said, that is, whether it is in the spotlight or alone, we must reflect on our own ethics and virtues at all times and at any time, only in this way can we cultivate ourselves and have both virtue and ability. ”

"In addition, you also have to understand that it is not easy to be in the middle hall."

Zhou Fu stretched out his white palm, patted Qin Chuan's solid shoulder, and said in a serious and low voice: "Minghong, think about it, which of these Beiyang generals who participated in the school parade today was not killed on the battlefield in Zhongtang, and which one was not a person with great achievements. ”

"These people all started by exterminating the long hair and flattening the twist in the middle hall, and they all came out of the sea of corpses step by step by relying on military exploits."

Zhou Fu said, while breaking his fingers: "Every time Ye Guanqun fights, he will take the lead in charging into battle." In the sixth year of Tongzhi, Ye Guanqun fought fiercely with Dongzhu, and was still wounded by a spear. Zhongtang recovered Changzhou, Taicang and aided Zhejiang, no service, outstanding achievements, especially Xiongqicao; Wei Da San Tongzhi was promoted to general in the early years of his reign, and was awarded the general army of Datong Ningxia Town; ”

"Wu entered the Huai Army Huazi Battalion at the age of twenty-two; Dai Xiaohou was weak in his year, that is, he abandoned the text from Rong to form a group to practice the long hair, and the following year he entered the Zhongtang shogunate, and at the age of twenty-seven, he went to the "Ten Strategies of Flat Twisting", and won the weight of the Zhongtang, and less than 30 was commissioned by the order of the Zhongtang to run the military affairs of the whole camp of the Huai Army; Xu Jiannong was promoted to general at the age of 22, promoted to deputy general at the age of 25, and was awarded the title of champion Baturu; Liu Zizheng once entered the enemy camp alone and persuaded the long-haired Wu Jianying to go anyway; Zhang Liangchen was appointed as the prefect at the age of 28 with military merits, and rejected the long-haired and fierce general Li Xiucheng with the soldiers of the first government, and defeated the twisted army Chen Daxi and Zhang Fenglin, and followed Zuo Jigao to pacify Agubai, fought against the Russian barbarians, and recaptured Ili. Because of his merits, he was the crown prince and the governor of Shandong, and assisted in naval military affairs. ”

"Nie Gongting and the veteran Song Zhusan, although they are not the old department of Zhongtang, they have also followed Zhongtang for more than ten years, and their feats are extraordinary. Song Zhusan, at the age of thirty-two, was awarded the post of chief soldier and was awarded the title of Yiyong Baturu. In the eight years of Tongzhi, with Zuo Ji, Gao, Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu quelling the chaos, it was even more victorious; Nie Gongting was the first subordinate to the regiment to train the minister Yuan Jiasan, and then entered the Huai Army Liu Province three inscription battalion, Guangxu nine years, took the initiative to invite Ying, personally led 850 people to Taiwan Imperial Law, Huwei battle, defeated the Fakou. ”

"Don't say that you are really won by a fledgling son of yours today, Zhongtang rewards you in public, it is difficult to make these people willing? is in front of Zhongtang, the first person in Beiyang, where does he have face? ”

The Ye Guanqun mentioned by Zhou Fu is Ye Zhichao.

Wei Dasan is Wei Rugui, Wu Congqi is Wu Yuren, Dai Xiaohou is Dai Zongqian, Xu Jiannong is Xu Bangdao, Zhang Liangchen is Zhang Yao, Nie Gongting is Nie Shicheng, and Song Zhusan is Song Qing.

It was only at this time that Qin Chuan's muscles slowly relaxed, and he understood what Zhou Fu meant, Zhou Fu's words were not an insinuation of what kind of hero he was, but to sincerely comfort him, the purpose was to make him understand Li Hongzhang's proofreading today.

Qin Chuan put his mind at ease, his thoughts became smoother, and after thinking about it carefully, what Zhou Fu said was indeed the truth. If he really let his salt regiment win the championship, wouldn't it mean that these Beiyang Huanghuang generals are all deceitful and famous! And Li Hongzhang, the commander of the Beiyang Summit, has no way!

However, there is one thing that Zhou Fu really doesn't know if Qin Chuan is here, that is, Wei Rugui and Ye Zhichao, two generals who bear historical infamy, are also great generals who take the lead in killing people, and they also have such brilliant and prominent achievements. It's just that why did these two fierce generals bear such infamy in the First Sino-Japanese War?

Could it be that these Beiyang generals are also insiders in the civil war and outsiders in the foreign war?

Thinking of this, Qin Chuan couldn't help but smile bitterly.

Where did Zhou Fu know Qin Chuan's thoughts, and thought that Qin Chuan understood what he meant, so he sighed helplessly and said.

"Ming Hong, although I said so, but I also know Zhongtang's thoughts, although today I have saved face for these Beiyang arrogant soldiers, but Zhongtang will never stop there, tonight's wine banquet, I am afraid that there is no good wine banquet, most of these people will be scolded for a dog's blood, and they will make a fuss."

Zhou Fu said, reached out and took out two silver tickets from his sleeve, and handed one to Qin Chuan first.

"This is the 1,000 silver tickets of Yingyang that Zhongtang secretly asked me to reward you, let me tell you that Zhongtang said that you Minghong is capable of talent, but you need to hide your clumsiness, otherwise you will be jealous."

Then Zhou Fu handed over another silver ticket in his hand: "Today's salt group is showing its edge in Beiyang, which can be described as a great inspiration, it is really Ming Hong who leads the troops in a good way, and the troops are diligent and forge ahead, so that the old man's face is bright, this is the old man's reward for the salt group's thousand Yingyang." These two thousand pieces are enough for you to reward your people. ”

Zhou Fu looked up at the sky and said to Qin Chuan: "It's not too early, the old man still has to go to the middle hall, you can do it yourself." ”

"Oh, also, Zhongtang only allowed your salt regiment to train a battalion of five hundred soldiers, but you recruited nearly two thousand 。。。。。。"

Qin Chuan was originally trying to confuse the concept of the word "camp", and was thinking about how to reply to Zhou Fu's words, but he didn't want Zhou Fu to take care of himself and said.

"In view of Ming Hong's ability to lead the troops and the training method, I have given you permission to add three more battalions. Ming Hong, you must train diligently, as soon as possible to bring out to Beiyang a new army that is not inferior to the foreigners, if there is another Xianfeng ten years of British and French alliance to attack the Beijing division, it is also good to resist foreign humiliation and boost the prestige of the Qing Dynasty. ”

Zhou Fu took the initiative to find Li Hongzhang to increase the establishment for himself, obviously covering up for himself, and at the same time he would spend more time talking in the future, which made Qin Chuan's heart feel hot.

Zhou Fu said that the Anglo-French alliance army invaded Beijing, and he was talking about the Second Opium War that later generations said.

The Second Opium War was a war of aggression against China jointly launched by Britain and France with the support of Russia and the United States, and Britain and France joined forces to wage war against the Qing Dynasty under the pretext of the Yarrow incident, so in the West, this war was called the Yarrow War, or the Second Sino-British War.

After the start of the war, Tsarist Russia claimed to have contributed to the mediation of troops, and coerced Xianfeng to cede more than 1.5 million square kilometers of land and became the biggest winner of the war. It was during the invasion of the British and French forces that the royal gardens on the outskirts of Beijing, such as the Old Summer Palace, Qingyi Garden, Jingming Garden, Jingyi Garden, and Changchun Garden, were burned to the ground, which was also the first time that the Old Summer Palace was burned. The burning of the Old Summer Palace by the Eight-Nation Alliance, which was commonly referred to in later generations, was the second time that the Old Summer Palace was burned.

That is, after that defeat, Xianfeng was forced to sign the "Treaty of Tianjin", the Sino-British Treaty of Beijing, and the Sino-French Treaty of Beijing, which were humiliating and humiliating.

Zhou Fu was about to leave after finishing speaking, but Qin Chuan took a step forward to block the way.
