Chapter 9: Firm Convictions
Soon after Wang Genshui went out, he led Zuo Huichang, Ge Zhenliang, Zuo Guigui, Cheng Sijun and other major generals to Li Yi.
"Why are you all so neatly here!" Li Yi said with a smile. Although Li Yi was smiling, he could also see that several of them were all worried and worried.
"Captain, don't you think there is something wrong with finding out that we haven't won two great victories in the word opening camp but have not been rewarded for a long time, and have been divided into word camps by officials from all over the country?" Zuo Huichang spoke first.
"Hey!" Li Yi sighed, he knew in his heart that no matter what he said, how much they admired himself in their hearts, but it was not okay to let them dedicate silently, Li Yi did not blame them, no one is a saint, it is necessary to be rewarded for meritorious service in wars, if they do not get fair treatment for a long time, their image in their hearts will also collapse, just imagine who would want to serve under a general who will never come out?
Li Yi understands how there can be a reward, and he doesn't want to think about how many generals have been dismissed and investigated since the start of the Qing War? How many Qing soldiers died in battle? And how many big names have lost face in this war?
But only the Kaizi battalion led the army to two big victories with a low-level rank of a leading officer, you said that if the Kaizi battalion was vigorously rewarded, the faces of those generals would be placed there? Not to mention others, just one deposed Prince Gong would not be able to let the Kaizi Battalion be rewarded.
If the Kaizi Battalion had achieved these two great victories before Prince Gong was deposed, it is estimated that they would have been promoted and rewarded a long time ago, and it is not impossible to even be promoted to the third level.
Li Yi looked at the expectant eyes of a few of them, and said in a big way: "If you trust me, you can train with peace of mind, as long as I am in me, I will reward you for promotion." ”
Everyone saw that Li Yi was so confident in guaranteeing, and their hearts slowly calmed down. "Captain, we are relieved when you say this, and when we go back, we will reply to the brothers below, you don't know that we have been questioned by the brothers below recently, so we came to you."
"Well, I understand, after you go back, you can appease your brothers, and you must let them train with peace of mind, and strive to achieve greater results, so that our rewards will become thicker!" After Li Yi finished speaking, his expression changed, and he said angrily: "Let's study how to avenge the people who died in the March 16 tragedy!" ”
"Captain, I think we should stop killing by killing, otherwise the atrocities of the French army will not stop." Although Ge Zhenliang is five big and three thick, his mind is indeed very delicate, and he hit the crux of the matter at once.
"There are more than 35,000 French troops on the entire third front, how can we stop killing with our few men and 2,000 muskets in our hands? I think it's good that we can protect ourselves! Zuo Guigui's tone was a little tough, and Li Yi could see that he still had some opinions on the one thousand musketeers he had given to Yunnan.
"Now we have a powerful point, after the March 16 tragedy, the whole country was in an uproar, and the anger of the people's revenge has been ignited, at this juncture, even Cixi does not dare to say that she will not resist the law, then Cen Yuying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou on the western front, and the old general Feng Zicai on the eastern front will also actively plan, otherwise the hat of the national sinner will be buckled on their heads at any time."
"And we who are guarding Kouzhen can echo them from afar this time, ready to reinforce at any time, we will reinforce that side if there is a need, and we can't be careless here, to prevent the French army from taking us first." Li Yi frowned and said, he didn't have time to calm their emotions, soldiers are not children, and it is their duty to obey orders.
"I estimate that our middle road will be the first to be attacked by the French army, who is the person hated most by the French army, that is, we have opened the word battalion, our banner has become a demon in the hearts of the French soldiers, as the general of the French army, Major General Bakkel of the middle route army will definitely take us first to boost the morale of the French army." Zuo Guigui still said with anger: "Then we just gave Cen Yuying, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, a thousand musketeers, and our overall strength has dropped a lot." ”
Although Li Yi was a little dissatisfied with Zuo Guigui's attitude, he had to appreciate Zuo Guigui's foresight, and his ability to clearly analyze the psychology and intentions of the French army showed that he was completely able to grow into an excellent commander, and Li Yi also planned to train him well.
Li Yi knew better that his strength would drop a lot, but this was what he had to do, and he couldn't tell others the reason for doing so, if he didn't support them, it was estimated that it would be the same as history, and he would be defeated in the end, so he decided not only to send a thousand musketeers to Yunnan, but also to transfer another thousand musketeers to the old general Feng Zicai on the Eastern Front.
"I can't explain anything to you, but I want to say to you that I have to do this, not only do I have to do this, but I also need to send another thousand musketeers to the old general Feng Zicai on the Eastern Front."
"What!" Everyone was surprised, they didn't understand why Li Yi did this, his own strength had dropped by a piece, if another thousand musketeers were transferred, then there would only be a thousand musketeers left, and if the French army came to attack, what would they use to resist.
"I disagree!" Zuo Guigui was the first to jump out, he was very dissatisfied with giving Yunnan a thousand musketeers, and now if he gave another thousand musketeers to the Eastern Front, then when the French army attacked him, he could only wait for death, Zuo Guigui thought clearly that he had to stop Li Yi from doing this no matter what.
Although the other people were silent, they all nodded secretly to Zuo Guigui to express their support, Zuo Guigui saw everyone's support and the confidence in his heart was even stronger, and he shouted again without waiting for Li Yi to speak: "My lord, you must think carefully about this matter, our army is not an iron army that cannot be killed, and if you are not careful, you will be in danger of being annihilated!" ”
Li Yi understood that their worries were completely correct, and it was almost certain that Balk's army would attack him first, but Li Yi understood even more that only if he contained the French Second Route Army here, it would be possible for the Eastern and Western Route Army to change the direction of history and fight all the way to Hanoi, otherwise the outcome would still be like that, undefeated and defeated! Continue to sign the humiliating treaty! Keep the French shouting! It will make the powers of various countries invade China unscrupulously!
What did Li Yi come to this time and space for? In order to change history, change the fate of the Chinese people, and build a strong China! Although this is only Li Yi's wish, Li Yi will unswervingly follow this line, and will never look back even if he fails!
