Of course Zeng Guoquan refused to do it, Zeng Guoquan sneered: "Guo Ye, don't be too self-righteous, what if I slaughter the city?" How many fewer sins have you committed than I can do? You killed both of the generals of Jinan, the Tongzhou County Ya was burned by you, and even the prince was beaten four by you! Don't think I don't know, in the north of Anyang, how can you torture and kill the prisoners of the Twist Army? Everyone will say cool words, why didn't you see that general executed? ”

Guo Ye raised his eyebrows and said lightly: "Jiu Shuai, since you refuse to be thousands of miles away, then I have nothing to say, let's meet in the court, but my general who tortured and killed prisoners, but he has the merits of sniping and killing Zhang Luoxing, the king of the Twisted Army, what about you?" On this day, the capital has only just won half of it, I don't know if I can protect you......"

"Ming Shuai, Ming Shuai is angry!"

Li Hongzhang on the side saw that the momentum was not good, and hurriedly said: "Ming Shuai, at this time, we can discuss it later, why do you think we should bother with this matter?" Whether the Hunan army or the Lu army is the Han army, we are all Han ministers, if we are still separated from each other, wouldn't it be a joke for those Manchurian relatives and nobles in the court? ”

"Di Shuai, it's not that I, Guo Ye, don't talk about human feelings, even if you want to monopolize the capture of Tianjing today, I can give it to you, but if this matter can't have a result, it will definitely not work!"

Guo Ye said lightly. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

"!"

Zeng Guoquan sneered: "Guo Ye, if you have the ability, you will sue me for the black state, if you have the ability, this head will be taken for you, but if you don't have that ability, we will not die next!" ”

"Guoquan, get out of here!"

Zeng Guofan was furious and blasted Zeng Guoquan out.

Zeng Guofan looked at Guo Ye and asked, "Ming Shuai, please also leave a way back for Zeng Mou, and in the future, Zeng Mou will make up for it." ”

Guo Ye said in a deep voice: "There is a way, or that one, the nine marshals ask the court for punishment, so that you and I will look good on our faces, it is better than the impeachment of the officials of the Imperial History Tower, right?" Second, the Hunan army took out 300,000 taels of silver to help the persecuted civilians in Tianjing, but all the civilians who were plundered were all given relief, 300,000 taels of silver, presumably it is difficult to help but kill you, right? Third, the various departments of the Hunan Army and the Huai Army who participated in the looting this time have been found out one by one, and none of these people are among them! In order to show the friendship between the Hunan army and the Lu army, I am willing to give all the credit for contributing to Tianjing to the Hunan army, what do you think? ”

Guo Ye is also reluctant to grudge with Brother Zeng, it is really in this era, Zeng Guofan's influence is too huge, once he offends too much, there will be a lot of trouble in the future, he would rather use this credit in exchange for Zeng Guofan's understanding, and this matter must be disposed of, he made a promise in front of Shi Dakai, and now half of the capital has been scourged, if he doesn't give an explanation, it will be fatal, Shi Dakai will definitely not be able to pass that level!

Zeng Guofan nervously calculated in his heart, and gave the credit for the capture of Tianjing City to the Hunan army, so who took Tianjing City from the Hunan army? Naturally, it is Zeng Guoquan, this matter, Li Hongzhang will definitely sell himself a face, and he will not compete with Zeng Guoquan, with this merit, Zeng Guoquan must not be able to stand much punishment, and it can be regarded as escaping, if he is really impeached by the imperial historians, it is the constant trouble, big deal, after the matter has passed, find a reason, let the brother official be reinstated? It's just that it's a bit tricky not to give credit to the soldiers who participated in the robbery, which of these soldiers wasn't born and died?

"Ming Shuai, the first thing and the second thing are easy to do, I can agree to it, but the third thing is a little difficult to do, which of these soldiers is not a bloody battle, born and died? In the end, there is no merit, but it will still be implicated, if it is really done, I am afraid that the military spirit of the Hunan army will be scattered......"

Guo Ye frowned and replied: "Okay, you can give an order, either hand over all the money you have stolen and accept the reward from the imperial court, or leave the money and withdraw from this request and let them choose for themselves, you should know this better than me." ”

Zeng Guofan sighed and replied, "Okay, it's decided, just do what you say!" ”

Guo Ye smiled slightly and said with a smile: "This is the Zeng Guofan I know, Guo admires!" ”

This matter is dealt with, and then it is time for the upper fold.

First, the method of disposing of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as a condition for the surrender of the Taiping Army, all the following soldiers of Shi Dakai were exonerated and disarmed, and the elite of the Taiping Army were selected and could enter the Lu Army and continue to serve the country, and the rest of the soldiers were classified into the countryside, in order to ensure that these people did not surrender and rebelled, from top to bottom, each person was given a severance pay of 10 taels of silver and 200 taels; Shi Dakai left China and went to the West, but he was not called up and was not allowed to return to China.

Second, the imperial court was requested to dispatch officials to Sichuan, Anhui, Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and other lost territories as appropriate to restore people's livelihood;

Third, to ask the imperial court for the soldiers who have made military achievements, Gao Qi, Yan Chunyu, Zuo Guigui, He Tengjiao, Gao E, Wang Haonan and others are all listed, and Li Hongzhang, Zuo Zongtang, Bao Chao and others under Zeng Guofan are all listed; The casualties of the Lu army totaled more than 6,000 people, of which more than 1,000 were killed, most of them were killed in the Battle of Huainan, and more than 5,000 were wounded of various degrees; As for the Hunan army and the Huai army, the number of dead is quite large, since the beginning of the counteroffensive to the present, more than 20,000 casualties, including 10,000 dead soldiers and more than 15,000 wounded of various degrees!

Fourth, after the recovery of Tianjing, the Hunan army was not effective, but the soldiers sacked Tianjing, causing great damage to the property of the people in Tianjing, Changzhou, Zhenjiang and other places.

Other matters were also listed one by one, Zeng Guofan and Guo Ye prepared for half a day, and after the time of the lamp, they determined the twists and turns, ordered someone to copy one side, and sent a good news to the imperial court with an expedited report of 700 miles.

After dealing with all the official affairs, Guo Ye took a long breath and sighed: "Okay, it's finally over, Di Shuai, I hope that you, a great river and mountain, will no longer suffer from war and chaos from now on, no longer be bullied by foreigners, and from now on, the country and the people will be safe and prosperous!" ”

Zeng Guofan smiled bitterly and replied: "I hope so, but if you want the country and the people to be safe and prosperous, but it is not so easy, just the current Western powers, which one is not eyeing us, who knows when they will come up and take a bite?" ”
