Chapter 115: The Minister Who Vomits Blood

"You are Wang Sirui?" Yixiao looked at Wang Sirui, who was in his early twenties, and couldn't believe it.

At the age of just over 20, he can do things that so many people can't do, so what kind of ability should this person have?

"The last general is Wang Sirui, the interim commander of the new army." Wang Sirui confirmed, but Wang Sirui didn't know who the person asking was, so there was no way to add honorific titles or something.

"Good! Good! Good! Young! What a young and promising! Yixuan said three good words in a row, and praised with a smile on his face.

However, Li Hongzhang, who was on the side, frowned slightly, the reaction of this old guy was not very usual, even if he valued a certain person in the past, he would never behave like now.

Could it be that Wang Sirui was really moved by his achievements? Bullshit!

Li Hongzhang prefers to believe that Yixuan saw the aura of threat from Wang Sirui's body, which is why he reacted so much.

And Wang Sirui's performance is in stark contrast to millions of Manchu children, and it would be strange if there was nothing in his heart.

Besides, what kind of virtue is the imperial court, others don't know, is it difficult for him Li Hongzhang to not know?

How did Li Hongzhang get to this position step by step? On his own? Even if he were given another hundred years, he would not have achieved what he has achieved now.

And Li Hongzhang completely relied on the recommendation of his mentor Zeng Guofan, so that he had his later rise step by step. If there was no Zeng Guofan as a guide, Li Hongzhang would probably not be much higher than Wang Sirui's current status.

The imperial court's wariness of the Han people is very serious, and if a young Hanchen remembers, then there must be a Hanchen who is recognized by the imperial court as a guide.

And how did Zeng Guofan get up? Zeng Guofan climbed up step by step, but in the early stage, Zeng Guofan's career was not smooth, until he was admitted to the Jinshi, and then he entered the door of Mu Zhang'a, the Minister of Military Aircraft, and since then there has been the rise of Zeng Guofan.

And Li Hongzhang is now old, and he is also interested in looking for a successor, and the successor who is currently favored by Li Hongzhang is Yuan Shikai.

Although the imperial court was wary of Han Chinese, it had become an unwritten rule that the ministers of the court and the central government must have Han Chinese. Again, this was to stabilize the rule of the Manchus.

Li Hongzhang looked at Wang Sirui with a little regret, but quickly withdrew his eyes.

If Wang Sirui can be one or twenty years older, if he has accumulated a lot of credit before, then Li Hongzhang is very willing to let Wang Sirui compete with Yuan Shikai.

But now, Li Hongzhang only hates Wang Sirui's inopportune birth.

Through this war, Wang Sirui has been sharp, and has even overwhelmed the imperial court, what will the imperial court do with a general with high achievements?

To put it mildly, if he can be kept alive, I am afraid that no emperor in this world can do it.

"What's the matter with your injury?" Zhang Fuhua stood up again, pointed to the injury on Wang Sirui's left forearm and asked.

"Lord Hui, this is yesterday, when the last general was fighting with foreign soldiers in the Forbidden City, he was injured by a bullet from a foreign soldier, and the bullet pierced through the flesh and did not hurt the bones, so it was fine." Wang Sirui said with nonsense.

As for the wound on his hand, this is indeed true, but it was not left during the battle with the foreign soldiers.

How many foreigners are there in the city today? I'm afraid I can check it with a pair of fingers.

But it was such a coincidence, when Wang Sirui went to the palace to admire, he was shot and wounded by a foreign soldier hiding in the shadows, fortunately, the other party's marksmanship was not very good, if a shot hit the head, Wang Sirui called a tragedy.

"As the commander of the three armies, how can he be so reckless? A gunshot wound is a big deal, Doctor! What about the Imperial Doctor? Hurry up and check on Commander Wang. Zhang Fuhua reprimanded in a loving tone.

The imperial doctor not far behind him also nodded when he saw Yixuan, and then he took a few steps forward, intending to check Wang Sirui's wounds.

As for why the Imperial Doctor would come to the capital with them, this reason is even simpler.

Because this group of people are all old, weak, sick and disabled, and the rush along the way, coupled with the difficulty of negotiations, no one dares to guarantee that they are sick or anything, so the Empress Dowager Cixi sent one of the only few imperial doctors around her to show her consideration for her subordinates.

And the imperial doctor didn't know much about the treatment of gunshot wounds, so when he fled the capital, he urgently learned some from the medical officers in the army, so that he could need it from time to time.

As for the medicines, they are all commonly used in the army, and there is no difference.

The imperial doctor untied the bandage on Wang Sirui's left hand a little jerky, and the wound inside suddenly leaked in front of everyone.

Although he was injured yesterday and underwent emergency treatment, Wang Sirui did not treat himself as an injured person at all, and ran around every day.

Therefore, the wound that should have been slagmed, under the vigorous exercise, some blood seeped out.

And the wound of the gunshot wound is also disgusting to those high-ranking adults. I also waved my hand again and again, signaling to hurry up and wrap it up, less disgusting people here.

On the other hand, Li Hongzhang has a calm face, Li Hongzhang has seen a lot of knife wounds and gunshot wounds or something, and it is not that he has never seen a more terrifying wound than this, so he doesn't think this kind of small injury is disgusting.

A man who looked like a medical student quickly mashed several Chinese herbs into puree, then smeared them on the wound, and finally bandaged the wound as it was, and then retreated to the back.

"After all, you are the commander of the new-style army, and you must take into account the overall situation, and it is better to do less of this kind of thing when you go to the battlefield in the future." also reminded with a hint of regret.

"Lord Xie takes care of it, but the troops are insufficient, and the last general is also forced to go to the battlefield." Wang Sirui replied.

"If the troops are insufficient, recruit them, and when the battle is over, they will be disbanded!" Yixuan said with some unhappiness in his heart, and immediately waved his hand, and walked towards the inner city with people.

After confirming the situation of Qingwangfu with Wang Sirui, Yixuan naturally wanted to take someone back to live in Qingwangfu. Several other ministers were also invited to come over.

Only Li Hongzhang refused Yixuan's invitation, but planned to live with Wang Sirui into the military camp. Although Li Hongzhang also has a house in the capital, Li Hongzhang has no plans to go back.

In this regard, ****** Yixuan did not object.

Anyway, now the entire capital is theirs, and these people like to live wherever they like, as long as they are together during negotiations.

And Yixuan is just concerned about the situation in his house, if he just goes back to take a look and doesn't live, he will not be able to hang on this face, so he can only go back to live.

Anyway, with these more than 1,000 guards here, it is not a big problem to defend a Qingwang Mansion. Moreover, Yixuan didn't believe that Wang Sirui would not strengthen his forces around Qingwangfu.

And after returning to Qingwang's Mansion, Yixuan was so angry that he almost fainted directly.

Is this Nima's still Qingwangfu? Although the mansion was empty, the bloodstains on the ground indicated that there had been a large-scale battle here, and although there were no corpses, Yixiao still felt that the air was filled with the smell of blood.

As for some of the finances in the house, don't even think about it, the whole house is in a mess, but anything that is a little valuable has long been gone.

Even the secret room that Yixiao specially dug was found and opened, and there was no property left in it, looking at the empty secret room, Yiqiao even had an urge to kill, this is the fucking savings of Lao Tzu's life, just gone?

And looking at the expressions on Yixuan's faces, the faces of the other ministers were not good-looking.

Qingwang's Mansion is a prince's mansion in the end, and it was also said by the foreigner Jianbi Qingye. But the houses of several of them are not bad, although the property in them is not as good as the Qingwang Mansion, but it is a big family, how can it be exempted from the sweep of foreigners?

And thinking that his house might be like this, Zhang Fuhua suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, his eyes turned black, and he fainted.

It's just that everyone didn't expect it, and it was absolutely impossible to think that the wealth looted out by foreigners in the entire capital has all gone to Wang Sirui's pocket.

And now Wang Sirui, it is not an exaggeration to say that he is rich and rivals the country.

The gold and silver alone add up to hundreds of millions of taels, and if you count those antiques or something, the value is even higher. And how much was the annual tax revenue of the Qing Dynasty? 80 million taels of silver only, Wang Sirui is equivalent to taking away the entire Qing Dynasty for two or three years of taxes at once.

It is precisely because of the support of this money that Wang Sirui's strength will increase day by day.
