Chapter 112: Dragon City Flying General Returns
Defeated the army of Tsarist Russia in such a short time! What a short time to recapture the city!
Kill 2,000 enemies in one battle! Capture hundreds!
I'm a god! Ancestors bless, I have given such a peerless general!
Xianfeng trembled his fingers and shouted, "Guo Ye, Guo Ye!" This is my Dragon City Pilot! My Dragon City Flying General, reincarnate Wei Huo! Passed the decree, immediately granted Guo Ye Zhili Governor, assisted Governor Seng Greenqin in the military affairs of Gyeonggi, and immediately led the army to King Jingqin from the date of receiving the decree! ”
The entire imperial court was shocked, if it was said that Zeng Guofan in the south dominated half of the southern country, and it could still be imagined, then Guo Ye, a fledgling young man, first fought a bloody battle at Dagukou, and then captured Aichun City, and the British and French forces and the Russian army were beaten by him all over again! That's the myth! Absolute myth! unimaginable!
It's just that Xianfeng can get Guo Ye, but he can't get the Americans! Xianfeng's will was soon sent to Heilongjiang by seven hundred miles, and the general's mansion was transferred to Vladivostok, and after receiving the will, presumably Guo Ye would return as soon as possible.
However, this American is different, when the Americans sent Guo Ye to North Korea, it was to beat the Russians, and it was just sent to North Korea, the Americans continued the cooperation in the future for tens of thousands of taels of silver, and also in order to have a friendship with Guo Ye, so they agreed.
Now it's different, now let the Americans help withdraw the troops, that is, to work against the British and the French, with the current strength of the Americans, where dare to offend the Americans and the French at the same time? It's not worth it just for that little silver!
When Huggins heard that the imperial court wanted to borrow American merchant ships to bring Guo Ye's army back to King Qin, Huggins's head shook like a rattle, no, no!
Absolutely not!
Huggins smiled bitterly: "Lord, no matter how difficult it is for me, don't say that I am a small consul, even our offensive Mr. Hua Ruohan, we have no right to accept this Lend-Lease request, once it is known by the British and French, we will face huge pressure, this pressure is not something we can bear, and even worse situations will appear, that is, the British and French warships will directly intercept our merchant ships and sink them on the spot!" We don't have that much strength to confront these two hegemonic countries directly, I'm sorry, I really can't grant your request......"
Monk Greenqin was stunned and said, "Mr. Huggins, are these two countries so domineering?" Is it that scary? ”
Huggins smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, this is still light, there are not a hundred countries in this world that have been destroyed by these two countries, there are dozens of them, they rely on ships and artillery, colonize everywhere, even an ancient and powerful country like India, isn't it still destroyed by them?" And almost all the islands on the other side of Nanyang have been occupied by them, and their iron ships and huge cannons are very powerful......"
Monk Greenqin was frightened and shocked, such words, Guo Ye had also said to him at the beginning, but he thought it was a joke, Guo Ye was inevitably suspected of exaggeration, and now I know that what Guo Ye said is half true!
"Could it really be that they are some empire on which the sun never sets?"
Huggins nodded and replied: "Yes, many people in the world now, including the British themselves, think so, they are the empire on which the sun never sets, and on their land, the sun can always be seen!" ”
Monk Greenqin sighed, this time it seems that it is really not good, even Huggins does not dare to come out!
Monk Lingqin said helplessly: "Okay, since you can't call the shots, then I'll ask Mr. Hua Ruohan to come forward and try it......"
Huggins shook his head and replied: "Lord Wang, with all due respect, don't talk about you, even the King Gong, who is familiar with Mr. Minister, has no effect, even if General Guo Ye is invited in person, it will be difficult to meet your requirements, this is not a question of whether we are willing or not, but a question of whether we can do it, above the national interests, we can't put the United States on dry wood for 100,000 taels of silver......
Sure enough, in the city of Beijing, Prince Gong? thought that his face was big enough, and this time he personally came forward with Prince Zheng Duanhua, trying to persuade Hua Ruohan, but even if the two of them were clever and eloquent, Hua Ruohan still didn't give any face, and resolutely rejected the request of the two people!
In a word, what we can do about the affairs between your Great Qing Kingdom and Britain and France is not to get involved, and absolutely not to get involved!
Abundant? I really didn't expect that this Hua Ruohan in front of him would change his face so quickly, thinking that when Guo Ye was there, he was very talkative, why did he change so quickly, as for Duanhua, now looking at Yi? 's eyes have changed, aren't you kid capable, aren't you bragging very powerful? Why has it completely changed now, and people still don't like you!
Hua Ruohan sneered in his heart, you two are too real, with such a hundred thousand taels of silver, let us jump into this big mud pit and fight against Britain and the United States? Dream!
Lao Tzu doesn't fall into the well, it's already enough to give you face, if it weren't for the big business to cooperate with that Guo Ye in the future, Lao Tzu wouldn't have lost you! Hehe, in fact, it's also good to pick up some leaks behind Britain and France, but that Guo Ye is too difficult to provoke, and he makes him anxious, and if he cuts off Lao Tzu's financial resources with a knife, it will be worth the loss, and it will be better to follow that Guo Ye, the benefits of the United States in the future are that we still don't follow behind Britain and France, and the benefits are divided between Britain and France, and I can only drink some soup, what does it mean?
Abundant? came with Duanhua on the rise, returned in defeat, and had to ask Xianfeng for guilt!
Emperor Xianfeng finally saw how incompetent his courtiers were, and finally realized how important a Guo Ye was to him, when he first went to Guanwai, that Guo Ye was just a matter of words, and he only talked with them in Tianjin for less than an afternoon, and they reached a consensus, and he was respectfully sent out by a minister and a consul.
Now it's okay, the two princes, no, plus the monk Greenqin, the three princes, and they are all iron-hat princes, they eat behind closed doors, and they pay five times the price to others, and they don't take it to see it, it's really a nest! Nest to the extreme!
Emperor Xianfeng finally gave up, waved his hand weakly, and replied: "Okay, you guys get out of here for me, and give me another order!" Order Guo Ye to lead the army of Baoding Town, go back to Beijing under the stars, and let the Heilongjiang General's Mansion prepare fast horses for them, the sooner they come back, the better! ”
Abundant? With Duanhua in a cold sweat, the current emperor is a little disheartened, it's better to stay away, if you don't pay attention to it, you may be in a big disaster!
