Ninety-seven, the soul of the hero is not far away (2)
This is definitely the most pleasing surrender and the most willing, shouted hard, the mighty voice across the heaven and earth, the original solemn and sad atmosphere was swept away, replaced by a fierce and enthusiastic atmosphere, the Empress Dowager Cixi turned around, raised her right hand, and turned in three directions, so that everyone saw her arm, she signaled, and heard everyone's call.

Under the command of the officer, the soldiers retreated like a tide, and the Empress Dowager Cixi said to Zuo Zongtang beside her, "Have you seen it?" We are the public opinion, what people, not to mention the Vietnamese, or the French, want to talk to the Chinese about the public opinion, do they have the same unity as us? Do they have that many of us? We have 40,000,000 people, and we can absolutely do what we want! ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi went to Zuo Zongtang's handsome tent under the support of the ministers, the Empress Dowager rose to the tent, and the ministers came in to visit, and naturally there was no need to visit the driver, but Zuo Zongtang wanted to solemnly take the new army and other capitals, kneel and bow nine times to worship, and the mountain shouted long live.
The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Everyone, please get up," and only when the big guys got up, did the Empress Dowager Cixi say, "Today's big salute, Pu Cungong, you must have something to pay attention to, right?" ”
Zuo Zongtang knelt down again, kowtowed and said, "The minister's visit to the courtesy, the first is naturally for the minister's own sake." ”
The Empress Dowager Cixi raised her eyebrows and said in slight surprise, "Let's talk about it." ”
"There are many people in the world who can lead the three armies to fight in Vietnam, but the queen mother only took a fancy to the minister, so that the minister could preside over the war against France in the ancient years and achieve this great achievement," Zuo Zongtang was not modest, and directly said that the Sino-French war was a great achievement, "What the minister wants in his life is nothing more than to make meritorious contributions, the queen mother took pity on the ministers and gave them this opportunity, and the ministers could not repay the queen mother's deep grace in the sea!" ”
This is Zuo Zongtang, he never hides anything, and ordinary people will say that the Empress Dowager Xie Hongfu Qitian, bless the generals, win a big victory, and congratulate the Tian1 Dynasty on this great victory. More realistic, then it is to thank the Empress Dowager Cixi for giving this opportunity, so that he can get this great achievement, and enjoy the glory and wealth endlessly, Zuo Zongtang is real, but first thank the Empress Dowager Cixi for giving him this opportunity, so that he can preside over the war against France, he is indeed not dishonoring his mission, even the good news, glorious China.
Empress Dowager Cixi smiled slightly, she stretched out her hand, palm up, swinged, two eunuchs stepped forward to help Zuo Zongtang, "Why do you need to say this, we get along with the monarch and ministers, I naturally know what you like, the beauty of adults is an ordinary thing," Empress Dowager Cixi pointed to the outside of the tent, "You gave me such a big victory, more and more proof that my idea is right, and in this world, there are few people who can preside over the three armies, and you Pu Cungong is the most suitable one, although you are in your seventies, but I don't think you are very old, There is no need to die, hurry up, you old bones have to do a few more years of errands, I can't leave you here, move the chair, please sit down. ”
Sun Yuwen looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi with envy and said such a thing, but he didn't expect Zuo Zongtang, the minister who was swept out of the military aircraft department with Prince Gong, to still have such a favor! The words "the monarch and the minister get along" are never easy to say from the emperor's mouth, and the one who remembers the impression in the past is still the He Shen of the Qianlong Emperor.
However, Zuo Zongtang has such a favor, and there are reasons for him, first, he is naturally talented, second, he knows that he has something to do and not to do, and he is fighting for power, which is something that no matter who is in the officialdom, the Empress Dowager Cixi will naturally not blame anyone for fighting for power, although Sun Yuwen was not in the military plane before, but Zuo Zongtang and Prince Gong are fighting fiercely, which can be seen and heard, and the power of Prince Gong is naturally what the Empress Dowager Cixi is happy to see, but this is by no means the key factor that the Empress Dowager Cixi can trust Zuo Zongtang so much.
Like-minded? This is just an opportunity, in Sun Yuwen's view, Zuo Zongtang's non-party is afraid that the Empress Dowager Cixi is the most reassuring, with a bad temper and a strong temperament, so naturally there is no party to speak of.
Of course, the biggest factor is Zuo Zongtang's ability, the Empress Dowager Cixi spoke, "Park Cungong presided over the Vietnam War, it was really hard, within a month to recover Beiqi and Thang Long Hue Province, annihilation of the French North Vietnamese fleet, besieging Mille's army, the French army ran out of ammunition and food, could not break through, and surrendered all, such a great achievement, I have not seen it for many years, this battle, Park Cungong should be the first credit!" ”
"If the Empress Dowager entrusts the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River with full powers, the officers and men of the new army will not be able to make such great achievements."
The Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "There is no suspicion in employing people, there is no need to suspect people, I have always used people like this, Pu Cungong, you introduce the generals one by one, so that I can know." ”
At the head was the white-haired Feng Zicai, I saw that he was short in stature, but he was in good spirits, looking forward to Shenfei, his voice was loud, he bent down to salute, and the Empress Dowager Cixi nodded approvingly and smiled, "Only I, General Feng!" I didn't give this poem to the wrong person, you have been guarding Lang Son with the Cui army for so long, the French are not allowed to cross Lang Son a step, such a fighting spirit, it is really a good man, a good man! ”
Feng Zicai's face was full of red light, and he was obviously too happy to get the praise of the Empress Dowager Cixi, and the Empress Dowager Cixi asked about the current situation of the two sons, the eldest son's left hand was broken, and the second son was fine, Feng Zicai didn't care about what was wrong at this time, and said it directly, hoping that the second son could enter the new army.
"Oh?" Empress Dowager Cixi said with a smile, she didn't agree immediately, and asked, "The Cui army is also very good, and it is not bad for your son to follow General Feng on an errand in the future, why do you want to join the new army." ”
"Everything in the new army is different from what Wechen has seen and led before, Wechen seems to feel that he can't fight anymore in front of the new army, Wechen is old, if not, Wechen must be in person to join the new army, start from small soldiers, and learn everything step by step."
"See, don't you," Empress Dowager Cixi looked proud, and she smiled at Zuo Zongtang, "The person who knows the goods is here." ”
"General Feng has taken a fancy to the new army's combat methods," Zuo Zongtang replied with a smile, "before he is willing to take out his precious son and send it to the new army." ”
"General Feng said this, naturally I have nothing to say," Empress Dowager Cixi nodded and said, "When your son is well-raised, let him join the new army!" (To be continued.) )
