Chapter 464: The Imperial Court's Will

The three of them came to the Admiral's Yamen together, but this time it was extraordinary that the Minister of Military Aircraft, Cao Yuying, in order to be able to let Zuo Guigui send troops as soon as possible, even the dignified Minister of Military Aircraft was sent out!

Seeing Zuo Guigui and Guo Songtao, Cao Yuying took the lead and said: "Lord Guo, Lord Zuo!" ”

The two of them hurriedly returned the salute, although the two of them were a military general from the first rank and a civil official from the second grade, but in front of Cao Yuying, they were small characters, ministers of military aircraft, which was the most core existence of the Qing Dynasty.

Guo Songtao hurriedly asked, "Lord Cao, what is the will of the imperial court?" ”

Cao Yuying said urgently: "Lord Guo, Lord Zuo, you are really in a hurry, the current Jiangnan Capital Building is about to collapse, and you are still sitting firmly in Diaoyutai?" The imperial court has already issued two holy decrees in a row, and you are still standing still, what is the reason? ”

Guo Songtao smiled bitterly and said, "Lord Cao, let's take the order first, and then talk to you in detail......

Cao Yuying nodded, put the incense case on the table, Guo Songtao and the three of them knelt on the ground, and Cao Yuying took out the holy decree.

"Fengtian carrier, the emperor said: ......"

Cao Yuying read the holy decree with great enthusiasm, which was nothing more than a compliment to the three people, and then asked Shandong to send troops south as soon as possible, after reading the holy decree, Cao Yuying looked at Zuo Guigui and said: "Lord Zuo, there is a letter written to you by the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces here, you ......can read it."

Zuo Guigui hurriedly took the letter, which was to the same effect as the holy decree, but Ci'an Cixi's tone of speech was more like chatter, and he said again about Zuo Guigui's exploits in saving the driver, and finally asked Zuo Guigui to send troops as soon as possible to relieve the crisis of the imperial court.

Zuo Guigui put away the letter with a wry smile and replied, "Master Cao, I have read all the letters. It's just that the troops should have been sent immediately, but now they can't send troops......"

Cao Yuying was taken aback and hurriedly asked, "Why?" Lord Zuo, at the moment of national affairs, it is a great time for you to make contributions! ”

Zuo Guigui smiled bitterly: "Lord Cao doesn't know anything. Just two days ago, there was a sudden rebellion of twisting bandits in the whole territory of Shandong, all prefectures and counties, it was definitely premeditated, together with the banner camp of Qingzhou were attacked, and there were heavy casualties, and now the troops of Jinan and Dengzhou towns have all been dispatched to suppress the twisting bandits, in addition. The troops of Tengzhou Town are now all dispatched to deter the two central provinces, and my three towns in Shandong are all engaged in the battle, where are there still soldiers to send? The rebellion in Shandong alone is enough for the officials to scratch their heads......"

Guo Songtao on the side continued: "It's not a secret, Lord Cao, just three days ago, Lord Zuo's only youngest son was kidnapped by bandits and extorted 800,000 taels of silver. Lord Zuo is unwilling to compromise and wants to use tactics to exterminate the bandits. Who knew that these bandits were very powerful, and they actually saw through the plan and got out of the encirclement, and now the whereabouts of Lord Zuo's young son are still unknown, and he doesn't know whether he lives or dies......"

Cao Yuying's head buzzed, no wonder Zuo Guigui had not moved. It turns out that there is a big mess in Shandong! Not only are the twisted bandits messing around, but even Zuo's precious only son has been kidnapped, this, this movement is really too big!

"Then, what about the training army, General Yan, what about the training army that Lord Guo Ye left behind? Aren't they all still there? ”

Cao Yuying asked eagerly.

Yan Chunyu pouted. replied: "Lord Cao, now you only think of Lao Futai's military training, why did you go earlier?" Since Lao Futai was not forced by the bigwigs in the court to leave the United States, the entire training army has been disheartened, and the training brothers have fallen apart, and now there are only 1,000 people left in the training army of 4,000 people, and they are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and there is not one in ten combat power, where can they still exterminate the long hair? ”

Cao Yuying was so angry that she almost jumped up, and said hurriedly: "General Yan, you are the commander of the training army, and you just watched the training army fall apart?" This is the most powerful combat power of the imperial court! You're derelict in your duties! Malfeasance! ”

Yan Chunyu said angrily: "Lord Cao, what you say is better than what you sing!" How did our family get away from America, don't you know? The most prominent military generals in the DPRK and China in the past hundred years were driven to the United States by that group of young people, as the brothers brought out single-handedly, which one could bear it? They didn't rebel, they were already because Lao Futai left an order, what? Are you still going to keep them in the barracks? Continue to work for the imperial court? Do you know that in order to keep the last 1,000 people, they have been scolded as dogs, or you will come to the training camp to be the commander for a few days? If Lao Tzu hadn't wanted to wait for Lao Futai to come back, he would have taken off his hat a long time ago, who wants to be scolded every day? See if I have a wound on my nose, this is the mark left by a disgruntled little bastard this morning, who drank wine and went crazy! Why do you say that Lao Tzu is wronged? ”

Zuo Guigui on the side was so angry that he almost jumped over and strangled Yan Chunyu to death, the injury was caused by him, in a blink of an eye, he became a little bastard, you bastard, why don't you say that you are looking for a beating......

Cao Yuying didn't pay much attention to it just now, and now she can see clearly that Yan Chunyu has a dog skin plaster on the bridge of her nose, not only that, but even the eye circles are blue, obviously she has just been beaten......

Cao Yuying has no words now, who can blame her? Who can be blamed at this time? Don't you want to blame the unscrupulous bigwigs? Among them is also yourself who is fanning the flames on the sidelines! Now it's okay, Guo Ye has gone to the United States, a large military training camp, and the combat power comparable to foreigners has been ruined like this! This time, how to explain to King Gong and the two palaces If the two palaces know, the east side is okay to say, and the west side will definitely spew the blood of these bigwigs!

It's just that Cao Yuying knows when Yan Chunyu was scolded? In the training camp, he has always been the only one who scolds others, when has he been scolded by others? As for this injury, if he hadn't done it himself, how could he have been beaten by Zuo Guigui? Poor Cao Yuying was completely fooled by Yan Chunyu!

Cao Yuying was so anxious that she stomped her feet, how could this be good? The military situation in the southeast is urgent, and I can't wait for a moment!

"This, this, Lord Guo, Lord Zuo, how is it now?"

Zuo Guigui had to be comforted by Wen Yan: "Okay, Lord Cao, the lower officials will go all out to suppress the rebels in Shandong, once the Shandong region is calm, then the lower officials will lead the three towns of Shandong to immediately go south to the south of the Yangtze River, and help Lord Zeng Guofan to go all out to suppress the Taiping army, please rest assured that the imperial court!" ”

Cao Yuying hurriedly asked, "So, how long will it take?" ”

"Two or three months, right? I do my best! ”

"What? Two or three months, two or three months, I am afraid that the whole of South China will fall into the hands of the Taiping army......" (To be continued. )
