Zeng Guoquan was furious, and opened Zeng Guofan's tent, and before the Chinese troops on both sides could salute, Zeng Guoquan entered the tent, "Big brother, call me so eagerly, what's the matter?" ā
"Immediately withdraw from Jiangning City, and hand over Jiangning City to the two departments of Xing'a and Fuming'a."
"What!" Zeng Guoquan's original anger did not subside, and when he heard such a ridiculous order, he couldn't hold back his anger, and shouted angrily, "It's all our sons and daughters who have worked hard to fight down, why should you give those Eight Banners waste!" ā
"Lao Jiu!" Zeng Guofan was also angry, this ninth brother's eyesight was really bad, and he didn't ask the root cause, he was furious, "Shengbao is in prison!" ā
"What!"
Guar Jia Shengbao, as the servant of the Five Banners of Manchuria, he came from a humble background and was despised by the Manchurian clan magnates. The only capital for his success is military exploits, and most of his previous military exploits are fake and false, which has long been despised by those who know it. He was arrogant before and after the Xinyou coup, but he didn't realize that in the eyes of Prince Gong, he was nothing more than a "gong dog", and he was already doomed to the fate of a rabbit and a dog. Xin Youzheng succeeded, and the reward given to him by Wang Yixun was the commander of the Yellow Banner Manchuria and the Blue Banner Protector Army, who served as the commander of the Eight Banners and the two armies, and his status was high enough, but he was immediately sent to preside over the suppression. He thought that this was the important task of rebuilding the empire, and he gladly took office, but he would only make one move, that is, to use Guanlu to buy the leader of the Twist Army and "fuss". Miao Peilin, the leader of the army, was more cunning than him, and after appeasing and receiving heavy rewards, he immediately defected, so that "the Chinese Foreign Affairs Chapter, impeached Shengbao for arrogance and indulgence, bribes, support the army and indulge in coercion, and deceive and make mistakes." So Prince Gong obtained the consent of the Empress Dowager Cixi, who listened to the government, and ordered an investigation. And the chief minister appointed to investigate and handle the case was none other than Prince Seng Lingqin. Of course, the monk king's accusations against Shengbao were "verified" one by one. The king of Yizheng was afraid that Shengbao dog would jump off the wall in a hurry, so he had been transferred to Shaanxi to suppress the twist, and secretly ordered the monk king to "supervise", and then secretly ordered Duolonga to lead a heavy army to Shaanxi to pass the decree, "Announcing the crime of Shengbao, derelinquish his post and arrest Beijing, and hand over to the Criminal Department for punishment, from his family." ā
Zeng Guoquan couldn't believe it, "Shengbao is a great hero who protects the holy car and destroys the eight thieves, how can he be imprisoned?" ā
"Hehe, why not, his credit is to help the monk king at Bali Bridge, and then get on the fold of the curtain, unless so, he has the status he has now," Zeng Guofan shook his head at Zeng Guoquan, "and I heard that he often boasts about himself, and the queen mother of the two palaces and the emperor are all protected by him, in this way, who doesn't hear it?" Even Prince Gong will inevitably be heartfelt, and it is expected that he will fall today! You haven't been taught such a lesson from the past? ā
Zeng Guoquan was dumbfounded, "He Guiqing is dead, this is the first member of the Tongzhi Dynasty from the first rank, or the Queen Mother was executed, he is my predecessor, although the Queen Mother has not explicitly pointed out, but we all know that this Queen Mother is not easy to fool, the edict is vague, and it is not clear that Hong Xiuquan's treasury is wanted, you will make a fortune and bring it back to your hometown!" ā
"But this Hong Xiuquan's turtle son and Li Xiucheng haven't been captured yet!"
"I have already surrendered," Zeng Guofan lamented, after all, he had not done his full job, "the two of them went to Chunhua County to join Li Hongzhang's department." ā
Zeng Guoquan was furious, "What! It's for him to get cheap, no, I'm going to Chunhua County in person to get the two of them over! He was about to lift his feet and go out, but he was stubbornly frozen, Zeng Guofan said quietly, "You still want to continue to dominate?" If it weren't for the fact that we would kill the king when we saw him, Li Xiucheng might not dare to surrender to us, and we could also give him a good price, but now it is good, he has fulfilled Shaoquan, full of losses, and he benefits from modesty, Lao Jiu, I will give you a fold, saying that he is unwell and wants to retire. ā
"Big brother!" Zeng Guoquan was very frightened, now it is a position that he has won so hard, if he retires, it will be empty! "Lao Jiu, I'm fine, where is I sick!"
"If you have such a temperament, sooner or later you will bring disaster to our Zeng family! Do you understand the rapid retreat! Zeng Guofan shouted loudly, with a face of hatred that iron is not steel, "He Guiqing's death, Shengbao is in prison, and the edict is carefully killed, this is all beating the old man, warning the old man not to take a wrong step, if you have other thoughts, I can't say that I want to kill my relatives in righteousness," Zeng Guofan's expression was fierce, Zeng Guoquan was originally angry and was hit down, "Now this kind of credit can ensure our three generations of wealth, the gentleman's ze, five generations and beheaded, can protect three generations of wealth, what else is there to worry about." ā
Three days after the city of Jiangning was broken, Li Xiucheng and the young king of heaven voted for Li Hongzhang's department, Li Hongzhang raised the seal of the king of heaven to collect the old department of the Taiping army, Jiangnan was clear, and the governor of Hubei, Zeng Guoquan, folded and prayed for illness.
