Li Hongzhang swept Zhang Lexing with a cold eye, and said: "Leader Zhang, I, Li, am not shy about saying that there is a looming trend of competing for hegemony today, I guess you are not unclear, in this case, why bother with a deputy regiment training envoy?" ”

In Li Hongzhang's words, there has been a faint hint of supporting the army and self-reliance, Zhang Lexing's uncle and nephew are not deaf to what is happening outside the window, naturally they know that what Li Hongzhang said is the truth, in fact, as long as they can get out of the predicament, there is not much difference between surrendering Li and surrendering to the Qing, Zhang Lexing is not willing to be subordinate, and surrender is just an expedient measure.

It's just that Li Hongzhang believes in himself so much, isn't he afraid that he will be overwhelmed by the guest in the future? After all, no matter how you say it, there are hundreds of thousands of horses, and although Li Hongzhang's regimental training is elite, it is not even 10,000.

What kind of calculation is this guy having? On what basis is he?

The uncle and nephew exchanged puzzled looks, but this is an opportunity, Li Hongzhang has any more conspiracies and tricks, be careful, after the whole army is out of trouble, just kill him directly? So they nodded slightly.

"Haha~~ What Master Li said is good!" Zhang Lexing laughed: "No one knows Lord Li's talent better than me Zhang Lexing, and it is my Zhang Lexing's blessing to be able to serve Lord Li, I don't know how Lord Li is going to lead millions of my Huaibei soldiers and civilians to tide over the difficulties?" ”

Li Hongzhang secretly sneered in his heart, how could he not guess Zhang Lexing's thoughts? It's just that how easy is it for a mustard grass to turn over from the five-fingered mountain of the Buddha? In terms of scheming, Li Hongzhang thinks that he is slightly better than his teacher Zeng Guofandu!

After a little hesitation, Li Hongzhang said: "First of all, I will report to the court and ask for the title of our army." Since my teacher named his subordinates Xiangjun, and all of you are from Huaibei. Hehe~~ I, Li, was also born in Hefei, so I am called Huaijun. Responding to each other with the Hunan army, what does Leader Zhang think? ”

"Hunan Army? The NLD? Huai Army? Good name! Zhang Lexing nodded: "Please Lord Li don't call me Leader Zhang again, I Zhang Lexing can't afford it, come, Lord Li, please sit down." ”

Zhang Lexing stood up, bent down and respectfully invited Li Hongzhang to sit on his original king's seat, Li Hongzhang did not shirk, and sat up with a big grin, Zhang Lexing's uncle and nephew did not show any unhappiness. They sat down in turn.

Li Hongzhang said: "Secondly, I prepared a big gift for Lord Zhang and the Huaijun brothers, Li exhausted his efforts to raise millions of stones of grain and rice, which will be sent in the near future, and then there will be foreigners to assist, and the whole army will be reorganized on the spot according to the Western-style training method, and I will find a way to find weapons and equipment."

Third, the Democratic Alliance Army will soon conquer Ye Mingchen of Liangguang. Our army is ready to go, and once the battle situation in Guangdong is deadlocked, it will immediately send troops to capture the line from southern Lunan to northern Jiangsu and central Jiangsu. And my teacher will also personally lead the Hunan army down the river to carve up the territory of the Democratic Alliance! ”

"Hahahaha~~" Zhang Lexing laughed happily, and even Zhang Zongyu smiled and nodded again and again. Although he knew that it would never be as easy as Li Hongzhang said, he had food. He also supplies weapons once things are in hand. Directly did Li Hongzhang is that there is no need to fight with the Democratic Alliance Army in the future, the world is so big, there is food, there are weapons, where can the hundreds of thousands of horses and horses go? This is really a fat sheep, can Zhang Lexing's uncle and nephew be happy?

The bright future is in front of him, and Zhang Zongyu's thoughts of defecting to the Democratic Alliance have also been completely thrown away.

Li Hongzhang laughed with him, and the hall was full of laughter, but the three of them knew that there was a hint of ghost in this laughter.

After a while, the laughter gradually stopped, and Zhang Lexing stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Li, it is better to stay in my mansion for a while, and I will introduce a few capable generals for Lord Li." ”

"There's Lord Lao Zhang!" Li Hongzhang arched his hand, at present, he is not worried that Zhang Lexing will turn his face, and he also needs to come step by step to recruit hundreds of thousands of twisted troops, screen and eliminate the diehards among them, and observe which people can be reused, so as to get rid of Zhang Xingle's left and right arms, Zhang Lexing's impatience is winning his heart.

That night, Zhang Lexing set up a banquet to entertain Li Hongzhang, and introduced Li Hongzhang to Gong Deshu, Su Jinfu and other leaders, these people are the masters of milk and motherhood, even if they can't wait to catch Li Hongzhang to light the sky lantern two years ago!

Not to mention that there is no pressure on the second reduction, after Zhang Lexing explained Li Hongzhang's intention, it was both respectful and enthusiastic, and the atmosphere in the banquet was extremely harmonious.

On the same night, the banquet to welcome the new soldiers by the Zhenjiang River was lively and noisy, and the banquet on Zhang Lexing's mansion was full of laughter, but it was a "flutter~~", Xianfeng in the Forbidden City of Beijing suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, and looked at the red-dyed fold in a daze, he couldn't have imagined that Ye Mingchen was so bold that he was so bold that he could stand on his own feet according to the two Guangzhous!

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" Lan'er hurriedly supported Xianfeng, and her beautiful eyes couldn't help but look at the fold on the case.

"Wang Yide, the governor of Weichen, Zhejiang, and Fujian, played the emperor: Ye Mingchen, the former governor of Liangguang, rebelled, relied on the support of Britain, France and the United States, colluded with thirteen merchants, and murdered Bai Gui, the governor of Guangdong, and the Guangzhou general Mukedene and his subordinates of nearly 10,000 people in Fujian and one province, sandwiched between Wang Wei and Ye Wei, and I am afraid that something will happen for a long time, and I hope that the emperor will send troops to rebel as soon as possible."

In an instant, Lan'er was also pretty, and her mind was in a trance for a while, Guangdong is the second largest source of wealth after Jiangsu and Zhejiang, Jiangsu and Zhejiang are gone, Guangdong is gone, how to live the life of the court, not to mention that the huge debts owed to foreigners will never be paid off, and even the daily expenses of the court have become a problem.

You must know that the foreigners did not directly give a loan of 300 million taels of silver, but converted it into arms to help equip and train the army.

And Wang Yide said simply, please ask the court to send troops to rebel, the court can't even extinguish the short hair, how can you have the ability to pay attention to Ye Mingchen again?

'Is my halal coming to an end?' Lan'er's eyes were dull, and she murmured softly, so much so that she forgot to wipe the blood from the corners of Xianfeng's mouth for Xianfeng!

"Someone, hurry up and arrest Ye Mingchen's relatives in Beijing at the patrol camp, tomorrow at noon!" Xianfeng suddenly roared in a hoarse voice!

"Wow!" A eunuch beat a thousand outside the hall and walked away quickly.

Lan'er came back to her senses at this time, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a handkerchief for Xianfeng, and then called out: "Come on, pass the imperial doctor." ”

"I'm fine! No need to pass it on! Xianfeng shot a murderous look in his eyes, and said coldly: "Call me Baoling, Bourbulon, and Mailian!" I'd like to see how I explain it! ”

"Wow!" Another eunuch walked away quickly.

It stands to reason that there is a set of special procedures for summoning foreign envoys, and it is impossible to do so at night, and if the other party cares, it is easy to cause disputes, but Xianfeng does not care at all under his anger.

Although Lan'er had the heart to remind her, she didn't dare, so she had to persuade: "Your Majesty, Lan'er will change your clothes for you." ”

"Hmm!" Xianfeng nodded and walked back with Lan'er's support.

Xianfeng took a bath, changed into a clean dragon clean, and felt better, and then returned to the main hall, about half an hour later, the first eunuch ran back, called a thousand, and said cautiously: "Back to the emperor, Ye Mingchen's whole family has not known what happened, I heard the people around me say that in recent days, the door of Ye Mansion has always been closed."
