Chapter 467: Naked slap in the face
Above the court, Wu Ren, Li Hongzao and others all jumped out one by one, vigorously opposing Guo Ye's entry into the first-class Yasukuni Gong, and the first-class marquis was already overpromoted! Zeng Guofan captured Tianjing, successively captured and killed Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, Hong Renxuan, and forced Hong Xiuquan to death, but he was only crowned a first-class marquis. Not to mention, since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, there has never been such a young man who has won this honor!
No, absolutely not!
The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces and Yixin tried their best to talk and tongue, Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying helped each other, but it was still difficult to suppress the voice of opposition, and the court was arguing with red faces, and no one wanted to give in!
Cixi was even more angry, her lover had been away for more than half a year, wandering alone in a foreign land, far away from her homeland, it wouldn't be a taste when you thought about it, who would want to leave their country all of a sudden and go to a foreign country? Don't say anything else, you just don't have a bowl of jajangmyeon!
Just when the atmosphere of the court was extremely hot, Zhejiang's seven hundred miles arrived at the court in a hurry.
Seven hundred miles expedited!
Don't guess, you can report on the emergency battle regularly!
"Read!"
"Minister Ningbo prefect Xu Youcai respectfully invited Sheng'an, recently, the thief head Shi Dakai led the Changmao army to bypass Jiangsu, through Jiangxi to invade Zhejiang, October seven, conquer Quzhou, October 11 to conquer Jinhua, October 22, capture Lishui, 20 days to connect the three prefectures, the front pointed directly at Ningbo, the whole territory of Zhejiang is in danger! Please send emergency rescue troops to Zhejiang! ”
Before the messenger's words were finished, the originally riotous court fell silent!
Dead! Dead silence!
Not a single person made even the slightest sound!
It's only a dozen days. It's only a dozen days. It's less than twenty days. Shi Dakai even connected Quzhou, Jinhua, and Lishui! The whole of Zhejiang has lost half of the country! It's crazy, this Shi Dakai is too crazy, too arrogant, too presumptuous! If you want to fight again, it will be the turn of Ningbo and Hangzhou, and at this rate, it will not take a month and a half, and the whole of Zhejiang will fall. Even if Zuo Zongtang quickly returned to the army, I am afraid that it will be difficult to resist the imposing Shi Dakai!
Zhejiang is not Anhui, let alone Jiangxi, it is the first class of rich provinces, and Jiangsu is between Bozhong, it is a veritable granary of the imperial court, once lost, where does the money and grain come from? How can Zeng Guofan continue to recruit troops and continue to fight? I'm afraid that even the monk king in Henan will be greatly affected, but the imperial court doesn't have so much money and food to support the monk Greenqin!
Cixi sneered: "How is it? Princes? Do you want to give Guo Ye a Yasukuni Duke or a Yasukuni candidate? Do you weigh it yourself? Could it be that the safety of the imperial court is not as good as a small dukedom? ”
What to give? The situation is now so bad that it can hardly be worse. If you don't invite Guo Ye back, I'm afraid that the whole of Jiangnan will fall into the hands of the Taiping Army. With Shi Dakai's majestic strategy, it will not take a few years to operate Jiangnan like an iron bucket! When the time comes, I'm afraid that Guo Ye will come back, and he may not be able to return to heaven!
Or is it a first-class Yasukuni candidate? But what if Guo Ye can't look down on it? If Guo Ye still doesn't look down on it, or doesn't lose his anger, then there will be no room for maneuver, and when the time comes, if he gives Jin the title of Jingguogong, where will the face of the court go? Now it's just a slap in the face in public, and at that time, I'm afraid that maybe I will be spanked by taking off my pants!
All the courtiers were dumbfounded!
Wen Xiang stood up, bowed down and said: "The Queen Mother, the Regent, the minister thinks that at this time, the country is in danger, and extraordinary methods must be used at extraordinary times, once Guo Ye pacifies the Taiping Army, what if it is to give him the title of king?" Is a mere title more important than the Qing Dynasty? The minister asked Guo Ye to be awarded the title of first-class Yasukuni Gong, and summoned Guo Ye to return to the country as soon as possible to quell the chaos, if it is not Guo Ye is not enough to control the arrogant soldiers and fierce generals under him, and if it is not Guo Ye, it is not enough to suppress Shi Dakai! ”
Cao Yuying also jumped out and played again: "The queen mother, the regent, and the minister seconded the proposal, and Guo Ye must be promoted to the first rank of the prince, so that he can show the court's grace, and only then can he calm the grievances of Guo Ye and the soldiers before, the minister went to Shandong this time to deliver the decree, but he saw it with his own eyes, the entire training camp is empty, isn't it that the soldiers are disheartened and unwilling to die for the country?" If you don't add a lot of rewards, I'm afraid it will make the soldiers even more chilled......"
Cixi looked down and asked lightly, "What about the others?" Let's talk about it......"
At this moment, no one is against it, if it is still opposed, once there is a big mess, at that time, I am afraid that the two palaces in the rage will definitely level their nine clans!
"Ministers seconded, ministers seconded ......"
One by one, the ministers are now busy agreeing, only a few bigwigs are now as black as iron, and they are silent, their attitude was too intense just now, and now they are turning, and it is too late! There are no steps to go down!
Cixi looked at the situation and knew that there was no resistance, so she gestured to Prince Gong Yixin with her eyes.
Yixin understood, stood up and shouted: "Immediately announce the decree, send a letter to Guo Ye through Western telegrams, and enter Guo Ye as a first-class Yasukuni Duke, the governor of Liangjiang, with the title of secretary of the Ministry of War, and the minister of the Military Aircraft Department, and immediately return to the country to take office from the date of summoning Guo Ye to receive the order!" ”
Finally, the will to summon Guo Ye to return to the country was issued, such earth-shattering news spread from the capital to the local lightning spread, the current Guo Ye, who is only twenty-four or five years old, is only twenty-four or five years old, at such a young age, he will be promoted to the first-class Yasukuni Duke, this is an honor that has never been seen since the Kai Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and it is not an ordinary national duke, but also the governor of Liangjiang, the title of secretary of the military department, and the minister of the military aircraft department, this is definitely the power and status under one person and above ten million people!
In the entire Qing Dynasty, there is no longer a second Han man with such a powerful position, even the once prosperous Zeng Guofan is now inferior by three points, Zeng Guofan is already extremely honored, the first marquis, the governor of Liangjiang, the prince Taibao, 100,000 male soldiers, but when he didn't expect it, when Zeng Guofan reached the top, he was stabbed by Shi Dakai, struggled for more than ten years, and once returned to the pre-liberation, it is really embarrassing!
Yixin continued: "Send a message to Zeng Guofan, let him recruit troops in Jiangnan with all his might, and must stabilize the situation in Jiangnan and snatch Zhejiang back!" The worst is to stabilize the situation in Jiangnan! Send a decree to Shen Baozhen and ask him to dispatch all the troops of Fujian Province to enter Zhejiang and suppress Changmao! Zeng Guofan is in the north, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang are in the east, and Shen Baozhen is in the south, besieging on three sides, trapping Shi Dakai to death! ”
