A few families are happy and a few are sad, and when the victory is great, the whole city is happy, and the two of them, Gong Chenglan and Chenglian of the Auxiliary Kingdom, sit in the city of sorrow, and there is no joy on their faces. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info as a dignified nobleman, only got a small shop across the courtyard, and there was a shortage of water and water, and the situation was unknown. Cheng Lan said: "Today, I went to the city tower to watch the prisoners, Lafayette only brought Banzai, not the eldest brother, this ...... Not a good sign. ”

"That's a good word, but it's ...... I can't really blame anyone. Cheng Lian sighed, "You said okay, why did the coat in your house become a prisoner of the Tiele people?" Now there is a lie outside, saying that the foreign soldiers found Lafayette's car, which is the way led by your servants in the house, if this news is true, how can we live? ”

Cheng Lan said unconvinced: "How can you blame me for this? That slave was captured by foreigners, and I don't know. The news that Lafayette was in that car was said by the eldest brother, and I am also fast-talking, who knew that the slave dared to tell the foreigner? But no matter what, we are also relatives, can she still dispose of us because of this unfounded matter? I don't believe in this evil. Don't forget, she is going to Shanxi below, Yu Zuochen's errand is our guarantee, and when she arrives in Shanxi, she will go to our own world. With Yuxian taking care of us, Lafayette will not treat us well, what should our brothers do, or what should happen, there will be no mistakes. ”

Chenglian was not as optimistic as him, but there was no better way to think of it, so he had to let out a long sigh and lean his head against the gable, "Resign yourself to fate." What's the matter with love, what's going on, I want to open it, Shu Tan is a day at a time, as long as the eldest brother is still there, she won't embarrass us too much. If the big brother is abolished, no matter how good the rules are, we won't be able to get better. ”

Han Rong returned home, listened to the words of his wife and daughter, and frowned slightly, "These damn foreign devils actually poisoned their relatives and clans, they are really vicious." Sooner or later, one day, this revenge will be avenged. What happened to Qingguan's body bones? ”

His only son, Han Qing, was timid, and he heard the sound of gunfire on the road, and he was already frightened. At night, the Cossacks attacked and the sound of gunfire and killing was all around, which frightened him into fainting, and after waking up, he fell into a coma several times, and the situation was very bad. His wife said:

"Locally, I was not very willing to send people to show me at first, but after entering the city to offer prisoners, I chose a new doctor to come. After using needles and medicine, it was good, but Lang Zhong also said that his means were limited, and he was afraid that he would not be cured. ”

Sister Fu said: "Amma, my daughter heard that there is a very famous Western doctor in Shandong, named Qu Tinggui, I don't know if he came with him?" If he was there, my brother's illness would not be a big deal. ”

"Qu Tinggui? I had heard the name of this man, but unfortunately he did not come. But...... You reminded me that I had to hand over the sign and play with Lafayette. ”

In the back hall of the mansion, Xiao Dezhang was announced by Cixi, and he was talking about the past of the two-day war. He was born in the Shengping Theater Department, has profound performance skills, and is also very clever, talking about the war to paint a voice, just like Mr. telling a story, so that Cixi and Emperor Tianyou listened to it.

"Those Cossacks, when they charge, they call Ulla, what it means, the minions don't know. That's how it was shouted, and then it rushed up. A black cloak and black military uniform came over like a black cloud. The people are also high, the horses are fast, and the Yong camp in Taiyuan went up, and it didn't take much effort to break people up. The soldiers of the rear army and the training army are also like tofu blocks, and they will break when they touch them. ”

Cixi snorted, "Listen, this is a bunch of good soldiers." Feeding them is a waste of the court's money and food, with so much money and food, it is better to raise a few dogs, and they all know to take care of the home. ”

Emperor Tianyou said: "Then the victory over these foreigners is all the credit of the Wuwei Right Army?" ”

"This ...... The minions didn't dare say that. Winning the foreigners is the blessing of the ancestors, and it is the protection of Lafayette and Long Live the Lord, otherwise, with the right army of Wuwei alone, the minions will not be able to win. ”

Cixi said: "Xiao Dezhang, don't say it's useless. If this Hongfu is so effective, then why is Shanxi's Yongying so defeated? Or can the right army of Wuwei fight by itself, you can talk about it again, how can there be a steel man and an iron horse? Isn't this our ancestor's Iron Floating Tu? ”

"Lafayette, is that an iron float, the slave doesn't understand, but there is really an iron horse and an iron man. Slaves can see it with their own eyes. The man was dressed like an iron mound, and he rode a horse and held a large gun more than two people long, and rushed towards us. Just listen to the sound of the horse's hooves stepping on the ground, not afraid of Lafayette's jokes, the minions' legs are weak, and they can't even walk. If that thing comes at the minion, the minion won't have any tricks except to hold his head and call Mom. Some of these armors and horses have been captured. You can have someone send it and you can take a look. The slave thought, it is better to choose some strong ones, put them on, and stand outside for you to see, which is also a majestic and decent. ”

"That's a good thing you did, that's how you should do it. Go back and order, let Zhao Guanhou choose twenty people, wear iron armor and take turns on duty, so that the officials from all over the country can see that we are the captured foreigners' armor, and give it to our Dajin country. If anyone says that the court is not good, they have to look at this first. ”

Emperor Tianyou hated Yuan Weiting to the bone, and naturally did not want his Wuwei Right Army to gain power, but the situation was stronger than people, listening to Xiao Dezhang's narration, the whole battle was completely a one-man show of the Wuwei Right Army. Judging from the situation of his own experience, the soldiers and horses from all walks of life are indeed vulnerable, and if they want to make a difference, the only military force that can be relied on is the Wuwei Army.

When Xiao Dezhang withdrew, he asked Cixi: "Dear father, Gang Ziliang was martyred, how should this be compromised?" ”

"Whatever, anyway, he can't keep this shirt, it's just a formality. Foreigners will not let him go, and now people will not make enemies when they die, but it is inevitable that they will chase after him in the future. So no matter how much you pay for it, you can't keep it. We have to care about the living more than the dead. How to reward this living person is what you should think about. ”

Ganglie's death, in a sense, can be seen as blocking the sword for the two palaces and replacing the lord with his body. As a result, after death, he was treated so coldly, which made Emperor Tianyou feel a chill in his heart, and it seemed that his mother was still the cold-blooded and strong old woman, and she had not improved because of adversity.

As for rewarding Zhao Guanhou, he naturally has no interest, but if he offends the Queen Mother, he doesn't have the guts. He hesitated for a moment and said tentatively: "Dear father, do you mean to reward Zhao Guanhou?" I have already done it. ”

"He's rewarding things, this kind of merit, just rewarding things? He is young, this is a shortcoming, but the credit is here, if it is the work of saving the driver, such a hasty reward, in the future, don't expect anyone to help you. If you don't understand this truth, when you suffer a loss, it will still be to come. Reward the head and wear the top, give the name Guoyong Baturu, hereditary cavalry captain, and give him a reward of 50,000 taels of silver for one of his men and horses as a reward. And the money came out of the provinces. ”

She looked out the door, her gaze cold. "I caught a coat from the Cossack cavalry, you also know about this, do you think that if there is no Zhao Guanhou, no Yuan Weiting, no Wuwei Right Army, can we still sit here and talk? I also know that you don't forget the old festivals in your heart, but if you don't forget, you have to forget. Don't think about breaking the last pillar of our Dajin with one hand, I won't agree. ”

"The son doesn't dare, the father just orders, and the son does everything." Emperor Tianyou dared to speak out, but he was immediately refuted, knowing that the tendency of mercy was already obvious, and he couldn't stop it if he wanted to. Now I can only watch the Wuwei Right Army dominate the family, and I, the emperor, can't check and balance.

At this moment, Li Lianying came in and handed over the sign, and Cixi immediately called out. She was the only one with Han Rong, and did not let the Son of Heaven participate, after meeting, she first asked about Qingguan's condition, and then Han Rong played; "Lafayette, the right army of Wuwei fought very well, but the other armies did not fight. Many stragglers are brave, they dare not fight with foreigners, they are defeated when they encounter the enemy, and now they refuse to return to the system, plundering the people in the countryside, poisoning the people, and there is a tendency to evolve into rogues. ”

"Let Zhao Guanhou lead people to kill. I've already given him this power, so I don't have to think about it. No matter whose soldier it is, no matter whose way it is, since it is a chaotic army, you can kill it. This group of waste, except for food and salary, can't afford anything, and I don't want to raise these waste people anymore, all of them are cut down, and let the other army commanders have some memory. ”

"The minions obeyed. In addition, the slave has one more thing, to make it clear to the Queen Mother, our line is inappropriate. ”

"Wrong? What's wrong? ”

Cixi had absolute trust in Han Rong and would not believe that he would do anything to betray her, although the proposal to change her route was somewhat unexpected, she did not choose to be angry, but asked Han Rong to explain her reasons first.

Han Rong replied carefully: "Lafayette, we originally wanted to visit Xi'an, but now I'm afraid it's not very good." First, at that time, we were timed, and there were Dong Wuxing and his rear army by his side. Now that Dong Wuxing is dead, the rear army has been killed a lot, and some of them have fled back to their hometowns. These people were originally robbers who were recruited, without Dong Wuxing's restraint and control, and after returning to their hometowns, they were reinstated. In the land of Guanzhong, there are already swordsmen rampant, and with these rogue soldiers and bandits, the ground is no longer peaceful. Moreover, the people of Shaanxi are poor and thin, their financial resources are withered, and they still rely on the relief of neighboring provinces for food and salary, and it is very difficult to support the emperor, and the officials are urging them, but they are afraid that the people will rise again, and then the two palaces will be uneasy, and the ministers will be a capital crime. ”

Cixi nodded, "I have also thought about what you said, I do have this concern, but I can send others to rectify the rear army, so that Dong Wuxing will not die, and the ground in Guanzhong will not be able to be cleaned up." I'll write it down first, and tell me what the reason is. ”

Han Rong lowered his voice a little, "Another reason is Yuxian. This person's behavior in Shanxi is very misbeneous, he is a cool official, and he has an enmity with foreigners, after arriving in Shanxi, he intensified his efforts, killing innocent foreigners, and his methods are especially cruel and barbaric. even used a red-hot iron rod to stab a foreigner pregnant woman, which was no longer for the purpose of killing, but just for the sake of murder. The foreigners will definitely not allow him to raise the army this time, and they will definitely send troops to attack Shanxi, if they encounter a war like yesterday's again...... The minions are not too sure either. Moreover, Duandi was Yuxian's master, and it was Lan Gong's coat who showed the way to the Cossack cavalry. ”

As soon as he said this, he was right in the heart of mercy. The Chenglan family's coat led the way for the Cossacks and led them to chase and kill Luanjia, although it can be said to be a personal act of the slave, but it can also be seen as his intention to assassinate the holy driver and clear the way for the eldest brother to ascend the throne. It no longer matters which of these two is the truth, the important thing is that in Cixi's heart, he already hates this brother and a brother, as well as Zhuang Wang Chengxun, who is close to them. It's just that the time is not right now, and it's not yet the time to send them down, so it's just hidden.

After entering Shanxi, it was Yuxian's territory, and the troops of Shanxi Province were all controlled by it. Although King Duan is dead, the eldest brother is still there, and King Duan's brother and brother are also there.

She nodded, "I think, Yu Zuochen doesn't dare to do anything that the gods and Buddhas don't allow." Besides, even if he wants to do it, we have the right army of Wuwei in our hands, are we afraid that he will not succeed? As far as his tofu soldiers are concerned, it seems to me that they are also sent to death. ”

"Lafayette Shengming. This Wuwei Right Army is more than enough to fight against the soldiers of Shanxi, but they have to guard against the pursuit of foreign soldiers and Shanxi soldiers, so they will become the enemy on their backs. It is really too difficult to defend friends and retreat from the enemy. Besides, Yu Zuochen is the governor of Shanxi, as long as he thinks of a way to delay one or two in terms of food and salary, the life of the right army will be sad. ”

"But if we don't go to Shaanxi, where are we going?"

Han Rong said: "This newly arrived army of King Qin brought a newspaper, and the minions saw a universal communiqué they brought, which had a promise from Marshal Wadsey of the coalition forces. The Prussian emperor was very grateful to say that the Prussian people were always protected in Shandong and there was no danger. And because there was no Flying Tiger Regiment in Shandong, the Prussian army would never enter the country to suppress bandits, and the two would not offend each other. ”

Cixi knew when he heard that Han Rong's opinion was to avoid trouble in Shandong. Judging from the combat effectiveness of the Wuwei Right Army, Shandong is a good choice, but there are many foreigners in Shandong, and they guard the consuls of Argentina and Prussia, which is what makes her feel uneasy. The reason why Shaanxi was chosen at the beginning was that there was no consulate there, and it was convenient for Shanxi to receive food and salary. Shanxi is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, retreat to Shaanxi, the enemy can not catch up.

Moreover, Lu Chuanlin, the governor of Shaanxi (the space-time of the plane should be Duanfang and overhead, so Duanlaosi is thick. He was a protégé of Han Rong's father-in-law, and his relationship was much closer than Yuan Weiting's. It was he who stood up against this, which surprised Cixi and took it more seriously.

"There are a lot of foreigners in Shandong. And the consulate, I don't want to negotiate with those foreigners. ”

The minions have also thought about this, but the foreigners have promised not to fight each other, so they will not break their promises. As long as we don't march on foreigners, foreigners won't come to harass the two palaces. Moreover, Shandong is the sphere of influence of Argentina and Prussia, and without their consent, other countries must not enter Shandong, otherwise it will become a provocation with these two countries. Lafayette is in Shandong, and he can also control the capital remotely, so this negotiation will not let Qingdi and Zhang Shaoquan cover the sky with one hand. How to talk about it, how to set the conditions, Lafayette can call the shots. If you go to Shaanxi, Lu Weng is an old-school figure, and Shaanxi's telegraph is not developed, and if you want to restrain the peace talks, I am afraid it will be very difficult. ”

Cixi thought for a while, "You go down first, this matter is very important, I want to think about it." ”

Han Rong is her confidant, she will not doubt the authenticity of her words, and the consideration of internal and external troubles also makes her have to re-weigh the gains and losses of going to Shaanxi. However, she can't make up her mind about how to decide, and the final decision is still to be made by Li Lianying. (To be continued.) )
