Seeing that it was winter, Ye Zhao stood in the courtyard of the inner house of the Dutong Mansion, wondering if he could get an earth heater, nothing else, just this radiator, I don't know if the blacksmith in Foshan can be perfect and seamless.

The window of the bedroom was open, and Rong'er, who was dressed in a brocade cheongsam, was sitting at the table and transcribing the scroll seriously.

Seeing her writing Ye Zhao couldn't help but think of Grandma Jiner, since that time Grandma Jiner fainted in Taihe, and she ordered Ruyi to send her home, she didn't know if it was a disguise or really scared, every time she saw herself, it was like seeing a tiger's little sheep, if it was true, it was a little depressing, was she so cruel?

These two months are not a big deal, the "Hong Kong Island Incident" The edict under the capital only encouraged Ye Mingchen and himself a few words, it seems that there is a lot of controversy in the court about this matter, and it is to see the after-effect without reward and punishment.

Naturally, the new army was trained, the usury was released, the first loan had already received interest, and foreign nails and needles poured into the city of Guangzhou, thinking that the comprador class would grow sharply, and in Hong Kong, the gunpowder factory was ready to be put into production, and there was no suitable candidate for the director of the factory for the time being, so Green would take care of it first.

But Ye Zhao still has a stone in his heart, according to the Gregorian calendar, it looks like 1855, in history, the second Sino-British and French war will break out in 1856, and now I hear that the war between Britain and France in Crimea is going well, maybe the Crimean battle will end earlier, and Britain and France are bound to look to the East.

Perhaps in less than a year, the huge fleets of Britain and France will flood into the China Sea, and the Qing Kingdom will suffer an unprecedented heavy blow, the city of Guangzhou will be destroyed, and the Old Summer Palace will be burned. For this kind of war that is about to occur driven by the general trend of the world, Ye Zhao knows that he is afraid that he will not be able to avoid it, but he must always make some changes, so that the Great Qing Kingdom can get rid of the miserable situation of being a man and a sword.

Moreover, the British and French forces are bound to be the first to ignite the flames of war in Guangzhou, what should they do?

"Master, Rui Si is here." Zhaocai's crisp voice interrupted Ye Zhao's thoughts.

"Call him in!" Rui Si is one of the few male servants who can enter and leave the inner house, and when he entered the courtyard, his face lit up, and that pride came from this.

"Master, a letter from outside the Guan!" When Ye Zhao sent a letter to Guanwai, he mentioned that the messenger who came to Guangzhou could hand over the letter to Ruisi.

Ye Zhao almost wrote a letter with the outside of the Guan, and it was very clear from the situation outside the Guan, after receiving a few battles with the Rakshasa people, the Korean battalion became famous outside the Guan, and the number of its regiments increased dramatically, there were always two or three thousand people, and there were many conflicts with the Rakshasas, and there were also a few battles, but the largest number of Rakshasa people was only four or five hundred, and the two sides had injuries in these tough battles, and the Tuan Yong did not suffer any big losses.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, took it and tore open the envelope, took out the letter paper, shook it open and glanced at it, and his face immediately changed.

The handwriting of the letter is a little messy, the writer is obviously restless, the letter was written by the old master, and the words of the Taoist group have recently suffered a great defeat and suffered heavy casualties. Because the Rakshasa ghost invaded Hailan Pao with more than 2,000 people, Han Jinchun was determined to face the battle, the old master persuaded to no avail, and finally Han Jinchun gathered more than 3,000 regiments and more than 1,000 people of the Eight Banners under the command of Hunchun Dutong and fought fiercely with the Rakshasa ghost in the east of Hailan Pao, the Rakshasa ghost had a large artillery to help, less than an hour, the Eight Banners were defeated, and the left flank of the regiment was completely exposed. The loss of firearms was even more severe, and the small artillery team was completely wiped out.

The more Ye Zhao looked at it, the more his heart sank to the bottom, and he finally gathered more than 3,000 regiments of bravery, for this arm, Ye Zhao was even more concerned than the new army, this is probably the family background of his own family, but after a battle, almost the entire army was wiped out, and the elite was lost. Ye Zhao's throat was bitter for a while, Rakshasa people, is it really so difficult to deal with? Is history really impossible?

Han Jinchun can't be blamed for this fiasco, as a soldier, he has to fight for every inch of land, what's wrong with defending the land and protecting his subjects? The old master was not wrong not to approve, he had read some of his books a little, and thought that he would be more respectful of the preservation of strength.

Ye Zhao looked down again, and the next sentence said, "In order to cover the retreat of the rest of the army, Han Gong led his own team to guard the left flank, and the Rakshasa people were short bladed, and they were nowhere to be found." If there is no Han Gong's judgment, I am afraid that Tuanyong's entire army will be wiped out. Ye Zhao froze, Han Jinchun, killed? Since the old master called Han Jinchun Han Gong in his letter, he thought that Han Jinchun had sacrificed his life for the country, and although he could not find the body, he basically concluded that he was killed.

This, where does this begin? Ye Zhao's brain was buzzing, and he stayed for a long time, and that arrogant and slightly reckless big man died like this? Never see him again?

Yes, he hurt him, if he hadn't ordered him to go outside the gate to form an army, he would not have fought with the Rakshasas, let alone died tragically at the hands of the Rakshasas.

In this era, human life is really as light as ants, and the people around you will eventually leave you one by one?

Ye Zhao suddenly felt a little hesitant, a little helpless, the history is invincible, a powerful and terrifying foreign enemy, in front of them, he seems so small by himself, he has paved all roads in vain, but, can he really change history? Also, can you keep the peace of your loved ones?

Ye Zhao couldn't help but look at Rong'er, who was concentrating on transcribing at the bedroom window, but when he saw the little guy looking up and smiling at himself, Ye Zhao's heart trembled, can he make her happy and happy all her life without being bullied?

I always thought that I could play in this troubled world, but I didn't know that maybe something was wrong, and if the deeds I did were passed on to Xianfeng's ears, it would cause a big disaster. Even if it doesn't involve the prince, what about Rong'er, if she is expelled from the clan, how tragic will Rong'er's fate be?

What about the group outside the Guanwai? What if you can buy new weapons yourself? How can the matter of the military revolution be decided by moving one's own mouth? The mighty polar bear once made Europe tremble, did it really treat war as a game?

"Master, master, are you alright?" Seeing Ye Zhao's pale face, Rui Si was startled and hurriedly gently held Ye Zhao's arm.

"No, it's fine." Ye Zhao shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Go to the study." ”

……

More than ten days later, Ye Zhao handed over the excerpt he wrote about the decisive battle between the firearms battalion and the Rakshasa people, and the time should be taken well, if he handed the excerpt too early, it would inevitably seem that he had more contact with the Guanwai, and the news of the first battle outside the Guanxi reached the ears of Ye Mingchen Fuchun and other officials, and it was time to go to the fold.

In the excerpt, Ye Zhao said, "The Rakshasa is becoming more and more rampant, the good people are ravaged by it, and they are coerced by it, and the area of Ussuri Ula is deeply afraid that the army is weak and cannot be intercepted. He also said, "If the northern Xinjiang is unstable, I am afraid that it will grow against the trend and become a problem of elbows and armpits." ”

Xianfeng's firearms training battalion is naturally aimed at exterminating the Taiping Army, if the excerpt does not link Dingbeijiang with the suppression of bandits, I am afraid that Xianfeng will most likely disagree.

And the Qing Dynasty, which has not yet tasted the second blow of Britain, France and Western countries, is still the mainstream of the hard-liners in the temple at this moment, and will not let the Rakshasas invade the land in vain.

However, Ye Zhao was still worried that his excerpt would be rejected, and wrote an urgent letter to the prince, asking the prince to mobilize the military planes in the capital to support his move to war.

Ye Zhao couldn't help but think of Yi Concubine, now that she is pregnant with a dragon, her status is different, Xianfeng has no heirs, and her eagerness to look forward to her son can be known, although it is not yet known that Yi Concubine gave birth to a boy or a girl, but with a pregnancy, it must be eye-catching, Xianfeng's love for it is different, but I don't know how much weight her words have in Xianfeng's heart now.

A few days ago, Concubine Ziyi replied to Rong'er's letter to her family, and blamed Rong'er for saying a few words, blaming Rong'er for "not knowing the severity", but at the end of the letter, there was still a sentence "The general of Zhenguo is a young talent, and the emperor has his own score." ”

It's hard to say that the Yi Concubine Gang didn't help herself speak, this smart woman judged the situation, the first priority was to please Xianfeng, on the premise of not violating this first-class taboo, if she could help herself speak, she would still help, after all, her own family is her relative, and the heavier Prince Zheng's mansion is, the more beneficial it is to her.

Regardless of whether she has a boy or a girl, having a family of important relatives outside the palace will enhance her status in the palace.

If Xianfeng discussed the matter of the new army with her, I don't know what she would say.

But even if the new army rushes to the aid of the Guanwai, can he, a half-hung general and a group of half-hung riflemen, really change the situation outside the Guan?

Ye Zhao didn't know, and he didn't know the bottom of his heart. He only knew that if the new army did not go to Guanwai, the development of history would not change at half, and the Rakshasa people still snatched the land of several provinces outside the Guan, and a year later, the Anglo-French alliance attacked Guangzhou, and he was afraid that the new army, which only relied on fighting pirates to train the team, would be wiped out in a blink of an eye, becoming the earliest cannon fodder in the second Sino-British and French war, and all his efforts would be in vain. The best result was that before the Sino-British and French war broke out, the new army was transferred to Liangjiang to exterminate the bandits, and although he had no good impression of the Taiping army, he was fighting to the death with it now, and the time was not right. If you lose, the new army will be annihilated, and you will be evacuated, it will be difficult to make a comeback. If you win, what good will it do to destroy the Taiping army early?

Only by going to the outside of the border can the new army and itself have a glimmer of life, and now they can gamble only with this glimmer of life.
