The banner of the Yellow Dragon is waving in the wind, and under the banner of the Yellow Dragon, the right army of Wuwei is lined up in a row, beating the military drum, blowing the horizontal flute, and advancing in the rhythm of military music. www.biquge.info In the middle of the procession, the Tiele prisoners of war were tied up in long strings one after another, and there were guards beside them, and whoever walked slowly was immediately greeted with a whip. At the end of the line, the escort was Sun Meiyao and her cavalry team.

These cavalrymen were uniformly equipped with cuirasses, and rode on the captured Don hippopotamus, bright armor, shining in the sun, tall horses, and bright armor, as if the heavenly soldiers were descending to earth. The prefect of Xuanhua and the prefect of Zhangyuan County, looking at the long line of captives in the distance, and then looking at the muzzles of those black holes, and the bright bayonets, they couldn't help but kowtow, as for the gentry who watched, they were even more colorless, and when Cixi first entered the city, he was procrastinating and pushing in case of trouble, which was simply a day and a place.

Cixi looked down from the city tower, although there was no expression fluctuation on the old face, Li Lianying still found that the queen mother's lips were trembling slightly, and her emotions were obviously in extreme excitement, just trying to suppress her emotions and not let them explode.

Emperor Tianyou's body leaned forward slightly, his hands grasped the armrests, his eyes widened desperately, his breathing became short and rapid, and his face was a little flushed, obviously, he was also in a high degree of excitement.

Cixi coughed, "Emperor, be steady, don't lose the dignity of a human king." Let the hundred officials see you like this, and they will laugh at you again in their hearts, and they will not be afraid of you. ”

"Dear father, what you taught me is that it's just my son's heart...... I really can't help it, we have a big gold...... Can there be such a big victory? Thousands of foreign soldiers, thousands of foreign soldiers were defeated by us like this? ”

"It's not thousands, it's tens of thousands." Cixi tried her best to stabilize her emotions, her voice was not loud or small, and she pretended to be light and breezy, but those who were familiar with her could still feel the irrepressible excitement in the old lady's words.

"It was more than 10,000 Tiele soldiers who came to Xuanhua to make a nuisance, which was broken by the right army of our Dajin Wuwei, killing more than 5,000 enemies and capturing hundreds of foreign soldiers. Heavy weapons, piled up. I have already asked Han Rong to draft this battle report, let people ride a fast horse and send it down, and send telegrams to all places. With this victory, Lao Qing and Zhang Shaoquan are there, and it will be easy to talk. ”

As the official army got closer and closer, the sound of "Queen Mother Shengming" and "Long live my emperor" below became louder and louder, and the sound waves were like the tide of the sea, surging onto the city. Cixi sneered

"Hear me? When we first entered the city, we couldn't hear it. The prestige of the court must also have soldiers, power and money and food, if there is nothing, even some gentry and villagers dare not take you seriously. In Huailai, the full banquet of Qihan is available in a moment, and in Xuanhua, it is said that the meal materials are not ready. This time I'll see if they're all together or not. ”

She said to Emperor Tianyou again: "Why did you agree with the Houjun to attack the embassy in the first place? Isn't it just to win a few battles like today and save face for our big gold? Why don't I know that the embassy can't be attacked? But who will you hit if you don't hit the embassy? Who have we beaten again? Since the foreign devils attacked Guangzhou, our Dajin has hardly lost a few battles against the foreigners, not only the foreigners look down on us, but even the southeastern governor also looks down on us. Southeast mutual insurance, saying that it is to preserve the vitality of Dajin, which is good. However, the food and salary of the imperial court were reported, but there was no penny, which shows that in their eyes, there are no two of us. This time there is such a big victory, I think they will pay this salary, or will they not pay it? ”

Seeing that the queue for the prisoners was still very long, Cixi showed a smile on his face, and instructed Li Lianying: "You go, tell that little monkey, let him be smarter, this foreigner is almost the same, take three or two more trips, and others won't see anything." ”

Li Lianying understood that this was Cixi's deliberate boasting of martial arts, making people think that there were a lot of prisoners, and he wanted to play a trick of Dong Zhuo entering Beijing. He nodded and said, "Minion, let's do it." ”

"Slow. You go and do one more thing, prepare a few things for me, reward them to Zhao Guanhou, don't be afraid to spend money, the more precious the better, you have to let him know that the court will not treat meritorious heroes lightly. It's time to change his crown, and in addition, he has all the official positions, the world positions, and the rewards are enough, so that he can show that this is a big victory. You give him another account, and wait until the emperor and I reach a safe place to ensure that his official fortune is prosperous. ”

Zhao Guanhou's victory at this time, in terms of the impact on Cixi, is actually better than Zeng Wenzheng's breaking of Tianjing, and Zuo Ji's Gaoding Western Regions.

After all, those two battles were far away from the capital, and the victory or defeat did not have too direct impact on Cixi. But this time, the enemy is within reach, once defeated, Jingkang's change is just around the corner, and it is precisely because of its great defeat of foreign soldiers that the safety of Cixi's mother and son can be guaranteed. As far as she is concerned, this merit includes not only the great military merits, but also the merit of saving the driver, if it is not hindered by the system, it is the official of the governor, and it can also be ordered.

The role of deterring foreigners is not mentioned for the time being, and in the internal power struggle in the country, this battle has also added a very heavy weight to Cixi's side. The great powers declared war and suffered a great defeat, resulting in the flight of the two palaces and the fall of the capital. Originally, it was a matter that greatly affected the authority of the imperial court, and the southeastern governor, who has always had strong autonomy, has always had a strong autonomy, and his attitude towards the imperial court is also a very important issue.

But after this battle, the governors everywhere will understand that the imperial court still has enough power to subdue them, and they dare not despise it anymore. Whether it is the transportation of money and food, or the transfer of personnel, it will be more cooperative, which will be of great benefit to the authority of the imperial court.

Moreover, King Qing and Zhang Shaoquan were in the capital to negotiate peace, and they had no hole cards in their hands, so even Su Qin and Zhang Yi could not negotiate any good results. With the foundation of World War I, if you want to come to peace talks, you will have a lot of eyebrows, and it will not be too ugly.

Cixi looked at the huge convoy of trophies in this team, and the little sadness caused by the death of the fierce was gone. She beckoned to the emperor, "Go, follow me back to the prefect's yamen, first summon the military plane, and then call Zhao Guanhou's rise." Such a tiger general, we must be contained, with such a person, we can be safe. Cui Yugui told the prefect of Xuanhua to prepare money and food to reward the three armies. White rice fat pig, to let the soldier eat well, dare to have the slightest shortage, I picked his head! ”

Zhao Guanhou got Li Lianying's words, and he knew in his heart that since it was the queen mother's order, then he didn't have to worry about being blamed, so he ordered Sun Meiyao to take the captives around the city and go around three more times. In this way, he pretended to be a prisoner of the foreign army, but he couldn't really kill people. Many of these captives were children of aristocratic families, and with the children of these noble squires as bargaining chips, they could always negotiate some favorable conditions when negotiating, at least they could fight for something more.

Soon after returning to the city, Han Rong summoned Zhao Guanhou in the signing room of the prefect's yamen, because Sister Fu was almost humiliated, he and Tie Lebing hated it the most. This time, when I heard that Zhao Guanhou had broken the iron soldiers, his spirits were lifted, and even his yellow face was a little more bloody.

He called Zhao Guanhou to his side and said; "Guanhou, do you know what your biggest flaw is? It's too early to get married! If you don't marry now, your marriage with Lao Shi will be able to be done in a grand way, and Qingdi will have to recognize you as his guest in front of him, and the future will really be limitless. Now, I have to be worse than the quality, and I will be on it, but anyway, the future of a product, I will protect it! In addition, your Taoist should not be handed over, and if you have the opportunity in the future, you can play with the Great Seal of the Governor of one side, and it is not bad to put a Governor. ”

"Thank you for the cultivation of the middle hall, but the lowly position is young and the background is not good, but I don't dare to think about the superintendent."

"What do you dare not think about the governor? Wei Guangshou can be a governor as a cook, why can't you be a governor? I'll protect you, just say you can do it! In a moment Lafayette will call you up and promise a reward. Let's talk about it first, how many people are you going to protect this time? ”

One of the reasons why Daikin is now flooded with military positions is that there are too many promotions. Regardless of victory or defeat, there will be countless major cases and special cases of military merit. As a result, there is a shortage of officials, and it often happens that second- and third-grade officers are in charge of two or three hundred soldiers.

But if the merit is not guaranteed, the subordinates will be centrifuged, Zhao Guanhou has drawn up a list on the road, the number of people is not too much, and the number of people is not too floating. But after Han Rong saw it, he shook his head: "It's too little." The official also gave it too low, if it was such a protection law, others would not believe that you broke 20,000 Tie Le soldiers in this battle. ”

"Twenty thousand?" According to the confession of the captive, Zhao Guanhou learned that the Tiele soldiers he faced were probably close to 4,000 people. According to the method of doubling the number, it is almost the same as reporting 8,000. On their own side, the headquarters suffered more than 700 casualties, but the casualties of the cannon fodder troops such as the Qinwang Army were extremely huge, and most of the troops took advantage of the chaos to flee and could not be contained. If only the casualties of the right army are counted in this battle, it is far lower than that of the Tiele army, and if other troops are counted, this casualty is Tieler's advantage.

But Han Rong shook his head and said: "The account can't be counted like this, what the imperial court needs now is a big victory, one that is enough to inspire people, so that the people and the civil and military can understand that the Dajin Kingdom is a big victory that can win against foreigners." Only when we have this kind of heart can we talk about it next. If you don't even have the guts, then you can't talk about anything, and you can only be slaughtered by others. So these Tiele people...... It must be twenty thousand. The corpses on the battlefield can be said to be more than 5,000, and the captives are those who can't be spent. In the future, it will be handed over to the Tiele people, this part cannot be changed, as for the seizure, you just have to say more, anyway, no one wants your things, we just need to make Lafayette happy, let the people of the world raise their eyebrows, and you don't care about the rest. Besides, the higher your subordinates are protected, the higher you, as a commander, can also be raised. The sedan chair carries people, and there are many things you have to learn. ”

Zhao Guanhou nodded hurriedly, thanked Han Rong for his cultivation, and handed over a gift list, "This is a little gadget that I picked up on the battlefield, please smile in the middle hall." The things have been delivered to your house, the lowly eyes are shallow, I haven't seen anything, I can't tell the good or the bad, don't laugh. ”

"Gadgets on the battlefield? This is good, I'll take a look. Han Rong took the gift list and glanced at it twice, casually put the gift list into his sleeve, patted him on the shoulder and said, "This official knows what you're worried about, I'm afraid that the official will join you, right?" At that time, there were many people on the battlefield who had personally experienced the battle and knew how many foreigners there were. But you are confused, this trick was changed by Lafayette, who dares to pierce this, not to find death yourself? Besides, it's because they're there that they won't poke you. Experienced the battle formation, fearless in the face of danger, and razor-handed, such a credit can also be added to them. Let me tell you, not only will no one pierce this cowhide, but they will help you fight this round, and if anyone wants to pierce this Western landscape, the first of those ministers will tear him apart! ”

"Everything depends on the cultivation of the middle hall." Zhao Guanhou thanked him first, and then said to Han Rong: "Zhongtang, there is one more thing for the lower officials to tell you......

In the city, all the mansions have been requisitioned as the residences of the princes and ministers, but in terms of distribution, those ministers who fled into the city first were mostly allocated more remote and dilapidated houses, and even some shops were allocated for them to live in. And the houses that looked like them were given to the ministers who remained in the army and suffered shells with the right army.

Several ministers who followed Zhao Guanhou into the city were gathering together at this time, discussing how to write the song. These people are all old men on the road, they don't have any family business, they don't even bring their dependents, and they are not afraid of robbing, so they didn't run with them at first, but this time they fell into a big house, and they actually lived in a mansion with two courtyards in front and back. The servant brought tea and water, and several people talked while drinking tea

"This merit of the right army of the armed guard must be invited. We'll have to write a book and hand it in tomorrow. ”

"That is, this book must be written well, foreign soldiers, I think what, it must be 10,000 people......"

"Ten thousand? You counted that yesterday. Cossacks alone, that's ten thousand. I have heard people say that in the military system of foreigners, there are divisions and regiments, and what we met yesterday was the Cossack cavalry division. What I encountered today was another division of the Tiele people. If the two divisions add up, it must be 20,000, this is a soldier, and there must be an auxiliary soldier, so just write 50,000. White blade strike, life and death fight, although the officials of our generation have no power to restrain the chicken, but they have the heart to serve the country, daggers and short knives, hard defense iron riding spears, no ......retreat."

In another house, it was a staff member hired by several banner men who wrote there, "The slave is alone, beheads three foreign soldiers, and captures an eagle flag...... According to the minions, the number of foreign soldiers was actually 100,000. It is divided into five roads, front and back, left and right, and the commander of each road is ......"

A well-concocted piece of music was quickly released, which not only praised the right army of Wuwei, but also praised himself. As Han Rong said, the cake should be bigger, everyone is not confused, and they know that after this incident, the officialdom pattern will be reshuffled. I have experienced this war, it is a huge capital, if you can't make proper use of it, and turn capital into your own help, then all these years of officialdom will be in vain.

Han Rong's temporary residence is the residence of the richest man in the city, and it is extremely magnificent. Sister Fu looked at the filial piety sent by Zhao Guanhou, including antique calligraphy and paintings, as well as gold and silver jewelry. She violently pulled out a hairpin and looked at it carefully in front of her, and her eyes suddenly turned red.

Han Rong's wife asked, "Fuzi, why are you crying?" ”

"Eniang, this hairpin daughter recognizes that it is a six-grid thing on the Chengjun Palace. She likes this hairpin the most, she never leaves her body, and she wears it every time she meets. She...... She's ...... now."

"This ...... Unexpectedly, even the golden branches and jade leaves were ruined in the hands of these foreign soldiers. Foreigners, it's really hateful! ”

"Eniang, if there is no Lord Zhao, my daughter...... I'm afraid my daughter won't be able to meet you. ”

Mrs. Han Rong also knew about her daughter's encounter with a Cossack, so she nodded and said, "What you said is right, we have to repay this favor, otherwise we will become a white-eyed wolf?" When you Ama comes back, I want to tell him that this Lord Zhao has something to ask us to help with, and we can't refuse. (To be continued.) )
