Chapter 346: King Gong ascends the throne
Soon, the news that Prince Gong temporarily acted as the commander of the Qing army on behalf of the monk Greenqin spread throughout the Qing army camp.
Most of the people in the Qing army are skeptical about Prince Gong's command of the army, and these people believe that although Prince Gong is a royal family member and a military minister, but in the final analysis, he is just a scribe, and he is probably only limited to talking about the army on paper, compared with the long-term battle of the monk Greenqin, he is still a big difference, so this part of the Qing army is skeptical of people, are faintly sweating for themselves, they are worried that if Prince Gong is blind to command, one is not good, and their heads will fall off one day, You may not even know what's going on.
Of course, there are two sides to everything, since there are doubts, there must be support, and these people who show support generally know a lot about Prince Gong, admire him from the bottom of their hearts, and know that he is a resourceful and far-reaching person, and it is best to be led by him, so these people are not only not worried, but also very happy
However, in the final analysis, regardless of everyone's concerns, Prince Gong's temporary command of the Qing army is a foregone conclusion.
Prince Gong and Seng Lingqin only smiled slightly when they heard these rumors in the army, they had expected such a result before making this decision, so they didn't take these gossips too seriously, and when it came to one thing, they were still a little hesitant.
The change of handsome position, this is a major event, it stands to reason that this matter must be reported to Emperor Xianfeng, ask him to decide, but their situation is very special, it does not belong to the kind of formal handover, that is, even the temporary generation is a bit unspeakable, at best, Prince Gong is helping Monk Greenqin to watch the house for a few days, this kind of thing let them report to the emperor, can it be said that they went to Xianfeng to play, Prince Gong is just helping Monk Greenqin a favor, what has happened, isn't it child's play.
So, in the end, they decided to be confused, and just like that, quietly replaced, and then quietly returned, once Monk Lingqin was restored to his original state, and returned to his place perfectly, as if nothing had happened.
However, then again, this kind of thing, this kind of handling method, only the two important ministers of the court, who belong to one and two, dare to think about it, and have the courage to do it, if it is someone else, even if it is to borrow his great courage, he will not dare to act so rashly, because this is a matter that will lose his head.
After the monk Lingqin handed over everything to Prince Gong, he recuperated with peace of mind, in his words, at least ten days and half a month, at most a month, he will definitely come back, during this period, all the major events of the Qing army will have Prince Lao Gong.
Monk Greenqin said it was easy, but the burden of a thousand catties was really pressed on Prince Gong's body, Monk Greenqin patted his ass and left, walked simply, walked chicly, and walked without hesitation, and even let Prince Gong wonder if he didn't want to do it for a long time, until the moment when he saw Monk Greenqin leave, Prince Gong still sighed in his heart, I really suffered!
After Monk Greenqin left, when the Qing army gradually adapted to the days without Monk Greenqin, Prince Gong found Guo Wenbing and wanted to have an in-depth conversation with him
"Wenbing, how is the morale of the army?" Prince Gong beckoned Guo Wenbing to sit down and asked enthusiastically.
"Back to the prince, everything is as usual." Seeing Prince Gong's question, Guo Wenbing quickly got up, and then bowed down and replied.
"Sit, sit, you don't have to be polite, can the Taiping Army move?" Guo Wenbing waved his hand, and then asked.
"Since the last sneak attack failed, the Taiping army has not moved, and the last general has sent additional people to investigate, but according to the information fed back, there is not much use, I really don't know what they are doing." Guo Wenbing said with a frown.
"Soldiers, treacherous ways, false and real, real and false, unexpected, unprepared, the people of the Taiping Army can be described as true soldiers." When Prince Gong heard this, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Lord, when Shi Dakai, the head of the anti-thieves was still there, although the last general was in Beijing, he often paid attention to the battle reports on the front line, as far as the last general knew, at that time, our army and the thieves were at war, and they could often win and lose each other, but since Shi Dakai's death, especially since the last general came to the front line, our army has rarely won victories, it is a fluke victory, it is a miserable victory, the cost is not small, the last general thinks, this is indeed related to the gap in combat power, but it is not entirely the case, but the last general can't figure out the key point, very distressed." Guo Wenbing listened to Prince Gong's emotional words, and his heart seemed to be touched, and he said such a thing in a hurry.
After speaking, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked Prince Gong for his guilt: "Lord, the last general is talking nonsense, and please forgive me."
Prince Gong smiled and waved his hand, sighed and said: "What a crime, you can tell the truth, this king thinks, although the success or failure of this victory or defeat is often just a matter of thought, but it has a great relationship with people, compared with our army and the thief army, there is indeed a certain gap in combat power, but this is only a superficial phenomenon, the core problem is that the talent of our army is withering day by day, while the thief army has a thriving trend.
"What the prince means is that the defeat of our army is not due to the military strategy itself, but to the lack of successors for our army." Guo Wenbing somewhat understood the meaning of Prince Gong's words.
"That's right, that's exactly what the king meant." Prince Gong sighed lightly again and said.
"The words of the prince made me stunned, but the last general thought that my Qing Dynasty soldiers are more than one million, and the generals are like clouds, the grain and grass are piled up, and the treasury is full, how can these be compared with the anti-thieves, yes, we have temporarily lost a few cities, but most of the territory on the land of China is still in the hands of our Qing Dynasty, so as long as we insist on fighting with the anti-thieves and fighting a protracted war, then, one day, we will be able to break the thieves, so as to recover our old rivers and mountains." Guo Wenbing's mentality is very good.
"Okay, General Guo's words are very much in line with my heart, if my generation can think like General Guo, then why worry that the thieves will not be destroyed, the Qing Dynasty will not prosper, and General Guo will not lose the pillar of my Qing Dynasty." Prince Gong high-fived and shouted.
The reason why he said those words to Guo Wenbing was to listen to Guo Wenbing's heart, and Guo Wenbing's psychological words can also be regarded as the inner words of a large part of the Qing army now.
Yes, if the Qing Dynasty can have more generals and loyal ministers like Guo Wenbing, why worry about the Qing Dynasty.
"The prince has praised it falsely, and the last general will eat the king's luck, and he should be worried about the king." Guo Wenbing said respectfully.
"Good, good, good!" When Prince Gong heard Guo Wenbing's words, he smiled and was extremely happy, and said three good words in a row.
Prince Gong's praise made Guo Wenbing a little at a loss, but his heart was very useful, he felt that Prince Gong and Monk Greenqin were very different from the army, Prince Gong used more praise, more soft, flexible and flexible, while Monk Greenqin is not pretty, iron-faced and selfless, everything has a clear eye, emphasizing obedience and law-abiding.
In front of Monk Greenqin, Guo Wenbing has always been submissive, not daring to say anything casually, let alone expressing his opinions at will, everything is the order of Monk Greenqin, but in front of Prince Gong, he is different, he can say the most true thoughts in his heart, the most unique opinions, and sometimes he can even discuss with Prince Gong. Anyway, he felt that he felt much more comfortable in front of Prince Gong.
"Lord Wang, what should we do next?" Guo Wenbing said melancholy.
Some things are easy to say, but not so simple to do.
"What do you think?" Prince Gong asked rhetorically without answering.
"The last general, the last general thinks, thinks..." Guo Wenbing didn't think that Prince Gong would ask him in turn, he was not prepared for a while, and his brain seemed a little inadequate.
"It doesn't matter, just think of it as a casual exchange between us, even if you speak freely, it doesn't matter if you say something wrong." Prince Gong smiled and encouraged.
Prince Gong seemed to be a plain word of encouragement, but Guo Wenbing was moved to almost tears, sometimes, what people need is to be understood, valued and appreciated, and Guo Wenbing tasted this taste, just imagine, just by virtue of this, can he not swear to die in retribution, now, it is Prince Gong who asked him to cut off his head, presumably he will not frown.
"Lord Wang, the last general thinks that we should be like this, so ......" Guo Wenbing boldly said his thoughts.
Syllable! Syllable!
As soon as Guo Wenbing finished speaking, two loud applause sounded in his ears, and he hurriedly looked towards the applause.
He saw that it was Prince Gong who clapped his hands.
Guo Wenbing smiled a little embarrassedly when he saw Prince Gong like this.
"Wenbing, this plan is very good, you immediately start to arrange it." Prince Gong said with a smile.
He has already approved Guo Wenbing's proposal.
Guo Wenbing listened to Prince Gong not only adopted his own opinion, but also handed over the matter to himself, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and even said thank you to the prince, thank you to the prince!
Prince Gong smiled and waved his hand again, then took a few steps forward, patted Guo Wenbing on the shoulder, and threw him an encouraging look.
Guo Wenbing was flattered, and under the agitation of his mood, he took a few steps back, bowed to Prince Gong again, and then turned around to do what Prince Gong had explained. (To be continued.)
