Her loud voice echoed in the Taihe Palace, not only the people in the hall, but also outside the hall were waiting quietly, of course, the people outside could not hear the voice inside, but the Empress Dowager Cixi still had to say, "This time I fought with France, and I won a big victory!" "Empress Dowager Cixi is obviously very happy, jubilant, she is indeed very happy, before the second Opium War, many preparations, in exchange for an invincible and undefeated situation, this so-called undefeated situation, now think about it, most of them are boasting of the majority, although the land first defeated and then won, but the sea is a defeat, the British and French warships went straight into the no-man's land, wantonly and recklessly, fortunately the battle of Bali Bridge saved a little face, and then took advantage of this big victory, with a large number of warships to feed Britain and France, In exchange for the results of the peace talks on the withdrawal of the army, there was no land cut, which in the eyes of the Empress Dowager Cixi, it was indeed a big victory, but it was far from enough.

Therefore, France must win this war, if it does not win, how can it represent the affairs of foreign affairs that are in the great benefit of the country? If the backlash of the Eight Banners reform can be suppressed? How can we win a peaceful environment for China that can develop for a few more years? All of this needs to be achieved through this war.

So finally it was won.

Several mountains that are pressing on his head have been removed, such as the Outer Khingan Mountains, such as the Ili Belt, and now Vietnam, these obstacles have been removed, but what about those obstacles in the future? Will it still exist? Or has the butterfly effect been waved, and the world of the future has been reversed into something else?

The Empress Dowager Cixi said that sentence, and she didn't speak again for a long time, but she just thought about it, thought about a lot of things, and thought about it, and finally there was only one sentence, that is, after being reborn, there was such a fruit of victory, and she would never be sorry for anyone, and after thinking so much, she was not going to say a long story anymore, "Thanks to God bless my China, the hard work of your ministers, the service of the soldiers, and the support of the people, today I will hold a banquet in front of the Taihe Palace, one is to entertain the soldiers of the expedition, and the other is to thank you," the Empress Dowager Cixi stood up, He said majestically, "If it weren't for you, there would never have been such a great victory!" ”

The ministers also hurriedly bowed and saluted, and the people outside also hurriedly bowed, and the Empress Dowager Cixi smiled, "In the Sino-French war, the meritorious people have not yet been rewarded, and it is up to you to decide today, Sun Yuwen, you are the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and you are here to announce the decree." ”

"Yes," Sun Yuwen got up and stood under His Majesty Dan, and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites on the side held a few thick rolls of yellow silk, which were all holy decrees to reward meritorious officials, and he happily spread out the top roll of yellow silk, "Zuo Zongtang took the order." ”

Zuo Zongtang walked out of his position and knelt in front of the throne of the Empress Dowager Cixi in the Taihe Palace, "Minister Zuo Zongtang took the order." ”

"Fengtian carries the emperor, and the edict says, the country depends on loyal ministers, and also depends on capable ministers, and the loyal do not move their hearts and serve the country; The capable person dedicates himself to the achievement of meritorious deeds, both of which have been rare, Zuo Zongtang, both, since the beginning of the Wenzong Dynasty, the creation of the Chu army, successive places, exterminate the traitors, and the west expedition to Xinjiang, Ping Agubai Rebellion, and then send troops to Kokand, to help it restore the country, since the dynasty, although located in the center and do not forget the place, although old and still the whole of China is majestic, the legal person is raging, making chaos in Tiannan, Zuo Zongtang worked tirelessly, went to Vietnam, commanded the army of sea and land, invincible, great merit! ”

“...... No reward can not inspire people, no lord can not express my gratitude, the battle of Vietnam, great merit, no reward, therefore, in accordance with the decree of the Empress Dowager Cixi, Zuo Zongtang was named the king of the county, called 'Chiayi', for the king of Chiayi! ”

"Give Chu Huang Jifu and eat the prince!"

The ministers were in an uproar, the will of this feudal king was really unprecedented! I didn't expect that in this life, the big guy could still see a person who was neither a clan relative nor a person of the Eight Banners, a Han person, and he had to be crowned the king of the county when he was alive!

You must know that Zeng Guofan's "King of Zhuang Xian County" was only posthumously crowned, but now Zuo Zongtang was crowned the king of the county during his lifetime.

But if you think about it carefully, although this matter is unexpected, it is also reasonable, and the victory over France is far greater than the extermination of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Zuo Zongtang's body trembled, he didn't know that he had to be crowned the king of the county, this matter, it is estimated that it is just the arbitrariness of the sacred heart!

"Shane!" Sun Yuwen said with a smile, and waited until Zuo Zongtang took the holy decree and stood up, "Congratulations to the King of Chiayi County!" ”

Everyone in the hall also bowed and saluted, "Congratulations to the king of Chiayi!" ”

Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Zuo Zongtang with a smile and kowtowed to thank her, "Okay, King of Chiayi, go down and change into your county king's uniform, let the big guy take a good look!" ”

After a while, the two eunuchs helped Zuo Zongtang up, only to see that he was wearing a stone blue four-group dragon supplement suit, the auspicious clothes inside had been changed to Chu yellow, and Chaozhu had also been replaced by Dongzhu, he knelt down again towards the Empress Dowager Cixi, "The minister is grateful, only kneel down in fear." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi shook her head, "There is no need to be polite, and there is no need to be humble, in this Sino-French battle, if you talk about merit, you are the first meritorious, if you don't deserve military merit, I'm afraid that others won't dare to take it, get up, get up!" Sit down and listen to someone else's reward! ”

Zuo Zongtang in the second half of his life, what he wanted to do most was to overpower Zeng Guofan, who was an enemy and a confidant in the past, and now he presided over the battle of Pingyue, won a complete victory, defeated France, and signed a new Sino-French treaty in Guangzhou, and took back the things that the Empress Dowager Cixi wanted most.

Next is the rest of the meritorious rewards, Zeng Guoquan into the first class duke, the title of "Yongyi Jiazhi", the title of the four words "Yongyi Jiazhi", it only appeared in the Gaozong Dynasty before, the crown prince and the prince, the scholar of the Jiawu Yingdian University, and the king of the food county. Peng Yulin was also subject to the four-character duke.

Feng Zicai was crowned the crown prince and Shaobao, and was awarded the governor of Yungui and the first-class earl.

Guo Songtao was crowned the crown prince and young master, and he still served as the co-minister of the prime minister's yamen, and he was awarded the title of first-class earl for his meritorious negotiations.

The strangest thing is Liu Yongfu, his title is very strange, the title is naturally there, it is a first-class viscount, but this official actually sealed a governor of Taiwan Province, Taiwan Province just a few days ago the Military Aircraft Department issued an order to upgrade Taiwan Province to Taiwan Province, but Taiwan Province is still just a barren land, and it is too strange to arrange a meritorious minister like Liu Yongfu.

However, there are other meritorious rewards in the future, the political envoy of Taiwan Province is Tang Jingsong, the two continue to partner in Taiwan on errands, Tang Jingsong has also jumped from the main thing to a provincial domain, and the opportunity is really enviable.

The new military, Li, Chu and others have entered the knighthood, the boys are different, the soldiers have their own rewards, and when Sun Yuwen finishes his will, it is long live the mountain again, and the square in front of the Taihe Palace is also thunderous, and the reward is over, then the banquet begins, in the sound of the bell chime, one after another delicacies are sent up, the Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and looked at the ministers in the palace, she was so proud that she couldn't help but drink three cups in a row, Li Lianying served a hot towel, and the Empress Dowager Cixi wiped her hands and turned her head, He said to the other person sitting on the throne beside him, "Emperor, you come, come and pay a glass to the heroes." ”

The teenage young man sitting on the throne was slender, wearing a bright yellow Wulongji suit, his face was pale, but he was in good spirits and full of energy, and when he saw the Empress Dowager Cixi speak, he quickly stood up, "Erchen listens to his father." ”

He turned his head and raised his glass to His Majesty's ministers, "Come, I salute everyone!" ”
