"It deserves to be the first Baturu of my Qing Dynasty! Lord Suo is loyal, majestic on Phi Island, powerful in Liaodong, and is really the pillar of the country! ”

Like Sotna, he was also a scholar of the Ministry of Industry, a scholar of Wenyuange, and a master of the Tongzhi Emperor, and Uzigri Wuren was the first to react.

He snapped and patted the complement, knelt down, grabbed the ground with his head, and shouted: "The old minister congratulates the emperor, congratulates the queen mother, and congratulates the Qing Dynasty. ”

As the leader of the conservative faction of the post-party, as soon as Uzigri Uren spoke, Li Hongzao, Minister of Military Aircraft, and various imperial historians and Hanyuan Qingliu followed suit.

When the country is about to fall, there will be party strife.

Now the relationship between the Hou Party and Prince Gong's Party is much better than that of the Apocalypse, Chongzhen, Sichuan Sleep and other dynasties.

Cixi's party, or the Hou Party, or the Qingliu Party, has a large number of people and occupies sixty percent of the power of the court.

However, Prince Gong's party, or the Westernization Party, although the number is small, but the weight is not light.

As the great Zongzheng of the Zongren Mansion, Yi Yi occupied the righteousness, received the support of many banner lords and nobles, and made friends with foreigners and Zeng Guofan, and the foreign aid was also very strong.

Seeing that the Qingliu Party was celebrating like eating dumplings during the New Year, Yi Yi coughed lightly, and one person came out of the crowd.

As soon as this person came out, Cixi's head hurt behind the curtain.

Because this person is the champion of Tongzhi for three years, and he is also the only banner man champion in the Manchu Qing Dynasty for more than two hundred years - Arut Chongqi.

It stands to reason that the Baohe Palace was the champion appointed by Cixi on behalf of Tongzhi, and Cixi had the grace of knowing him.

However, he had a close relationship with Prince Gong.

Especially after the Tongzhi election last year, Chongqi's daughter, under the impetus of Zongrenfu, Ci'an and other forces, forcibly squeezed out Cixi, the candidate favored by her biological mother, to become the queen.

How does this Arut Empress Cixi look at it and how it is not pleasing to the eye, although Tongzhi herself likes it very much, but who is Cixi?

Although Tongzhi is much better than Guangxu, his desire to control is far from that of an ordinary mother.

Therefore, for the queen, Cixi was abused and tortured a lot on weekdays, which made Chongqi firmly stand on Prince Gong's party.

Chongqi, as the national abbot Cheng'en Gong and the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, is also extremely heavy.

He said loudly: "The Ming people are brave, Prince Sotna is good at water warfare as a Mongol, and it is not known how the land battle is, and now Sotna's march is only a one-sided statement, maybe it is just empty words!" ”

Chongqi took the lead, and Prince Gong's party also questioned one after another, this Ming man is a villain who can't even deal with Zeng Shaobao and foreigners, you Suot Na is just a junior of Monk Lingqin, half a cut shorter than Zeng Shaobao, why dare to argue with Mingren?

The whole court quarreled into a pot of porridge.

At this time, Yi Yi finally came forward and said: "It's not that the minister doesn't believe in Lord Suo, but be cautious in using troops, the foreigners are defeated, and the tyranny of the Ming people is extraordinary, so we must be especially careful, so the minister suggests that we should wait for the report of Shanhaiguan!" After all...... After Shanhaiguan, there is not only one way to Tianjin! ”

Yi Yi said a word, and suddenly the court fell silent.

Indeed, without the will of the court, the Liaodong border army entered the customs without permission......

Why is this scene so familiar?

The next scene shouldn't be Sotna's request to bring troops into Beijing, right?

The name of the last person to do this is terrible...... It's called Yuan Chonghuan!

Yuandudu was eaten alive by the people of Beijing!

The prince of Sotna is a Mongolian and doesn't take a bath all year round, so I'm afraid it's not delicious to eat raw, right?

You have to use the rice wine of Liuquanju to remove the fishiness, and then dip it in the vinegar of Longmen to eat......

This is authentic!

Phew!

Retracting their cranky thoughts, everyone realized at this time that the 30,000 new troops and the Eight Banners in Sotna's hands seemed to really have the ability to threaten the Jingshi.

If he really sent troops, it seems that the only one who can fight with him is the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan, who is stationed in Langfang.

But how do you look at it, Prince Suo should be more reliable than Zeng Guofan, right?

In a nervous mood, everyone finally waited for the documents from the Shanhaiguan General Military Mansion Pegasus.

The letter said that there were indeed a group of military men who crossed the border from Liaodong to Tianjin.

The leader is indeed the chief military officer of Dongjiang Town, the prince of Tongliao.

However, this army carried many chariots and horses, and the ruts were deep, far exceeding the constant of transporting grain, grass, and armor, but it did not bring artillery, which was very strange.

Receiving such news, everyone in the court breathed a sigh of relief.

At least not from Beijing.

But the question arises again, what is the Liaodong Army doing with so many carts and horses?

And what is transported?

Because it is a matter of confidentiality, at this time, the only people who stayed in the Heart Cultivation Hall to accompany the saints were a group of important ministers, including Yi Yi.

In fact, Yi Yi knows a little about military affairs and the New Army, at least he has made a lot of money under the banner of purchasing equipment.

Zhu Fugui's first ocean-going fleet was thanks to him for placing an order with the British.

But Cixi definitely can't ask Yi Yi.

She looked at Shangshu Zailing, who was relatively neutral, that is, a clan, and didn't get too close to Devil Liu, and said, "Tell me what's going on?" ”

It's like U Ren, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, who doesn't know how to make steel, the Japanese Minister of the Internet can't use the Internet, and the general of the anti-epidemic department on a certain island is a dentist, and Zai Ling, the secretary of the Ministry of War, doesn't know how to fight.

Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, walking birds and fighting crickets, babbling and singing small songs are quite good.

Zai Ling stepped out of the ranks, patted his head and said: "Your Majesty, Little Buddha, the minister understands!" The minister heard that the people were building a large number of buildings in Tianjin City, and they must have built a strong city, and the prince Suo had a foresight, and he must have brought explosives, flying claws, building car parts and other things used in the siege! ”

"I see!"

Cixi, Wuren and others nodded, thinking it made sense, didn't it be said in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that Cao Cao built a catapult to deal with Yuan Shao?

The Ming people are fierce, ordinary artillery can no longer deal with them, they must attack with heavy fists, and the Prince of Tongliao must have a high move in front of the formation, and he will definitely use a secret weapon to blow up those Ming people!

"But ......"

Although Zai Ling doesn't know how to be a soldier, he knows how to be an official.

Seeing that Yi Yi's face was not good, he changed his words again, "Although Suo Wang Ye is loyal, loyal and unspeakable, and bravely crowns the three armies, but the Ming people are cunning and ferocious, as the so-called 'Ming people are not satisfied with 10,000, and 10,000 cannot be fought', the minister thinks, we might as well ask Zeng Shaobao to send troops at the same time, and the north and south armies will take Tianjin, so that it is foolproof!" ”

After saying these words, Zai Ling felt that the level of himself and the mud was too high, presumably the devil had to sell himself, okay?

He raised his eyes to look, but saw Yi Yi with a dead mother's expression, and glared at him viciously.

Zai Ling was puzzled.

Cixi immediately said: "This plan is very good, let the Military Aircraft Department draw up a charter, Prince Suo, Zeng Shaobao two road army, those who enter Tianjin first, reward ......"

Cixi originally wanted to say that he would be rewarded.

But after thinking about it, Sotna was already a prince, and Zeng Guofan was already the highest peak first-class earl of Hanchen.

I had to change my words: "Reward silver...... 10,000 taels! ”

·

Zai Ling thought that letting Zeng Guofan send troops was a great help to Yi Li, but in fact, from Prince Gong's Mansion to the Hunan Army, they all heard about this matter.

The so-called joy when you hear the war, and the so-called competition for military merits must be established on the premise of pinching soft persimmons.

Is Daming a soft persimmon?

Zai Ling, who is playing in the garden all day long, is not clear, but his devil six and Zeng Guofan are too clear!

In particular, the Hunan army had fought a Somali tribal militia battle with the Ming people in Tianjin against the Amerika-style soldiers, and they had long been frightened.

However, Zeng Guofan's last younger brother, Zeng Guoquan, had just been shot by Daming, and it was impossible for Zeng Guofan to refuse to enter Zhu Ming's imperial order.

The good news is that this time it's not my own family fighting alone, there are still friendly troops!

Zeng Guofan convened his subordinates to discuss, believing that the benefit of the Ming people was firearms, and the most ferocious firearms were not cannons, not ironclad chariots, but machine guns.

For light infantry with a very low degree of organization like the Hunan army, the machine gun is the most terrible nightmare.

Therefore, Zeng Guofan finally set the policy of steady progress, step by step, and flood irrigation.

To put it simply, it is to wait for the Liaodong army of Sotna to attract the attention of the Ming people, and it is best to lure the Ming people out of the hole, and then the Hunan army will use the numerical advantage to annihilate the enemy in the field.

The plan has been formulated, and the devil six rarely plucked the iron rooster once, and sent a piece of silver, and the Hunan army finally recovered some morale.

On May 10, on the same day that Prussia's first "Mole" was blown up by an anti-tank mine by the French, the 30,000 Hunan troops of the whole army, dressed in white cloth (Ming system), and carrying white flags (Ming system), slowly marched south.

As for why Langfang went to Tianjin to go south, it was naturally because Zeng Dashuai decided to outflank him in a roundabout way and attack him unprepared, definitely not because Langfang was too close to Tianjin, and Shanhaiguan was too far away from Tianjin.

Moreover, Zeng Guofan's entire army only walked 20 miles a day, and did not walk more than 1 mile.

Anyway, it is to ensure that he walks behind the Liaodong Army, and he is more calm than anyone else.

Zeng Guofan sat on the donkey cart and stroked his long beard: "Be more patient with the old man, there are few people in this world who dare to claim victory, back then the old man relied on the knot to fight the village, and the battle was so that he could exterminate the invincible Cantonese bandits!" ”

Rumble!

Before he finished speaking, suddenly a shell fell into the front line of the Hunan army, kicking up a cloud of smoke and dust.

……

Zeng Guofan is bitter in his heart, obviously he has walked slowly enough, and the circle has been lost far enough, why are Ming people always staring at him?

From Langfang to Baoding, from Baoding to Cangzhou, the Hunan army was constantly attacked, and the will to fight almost collapsed.

This is already the mercy of Da Ming's subordinates.

For the Chinese, Zhu Fugui is indeed a little soft-hearted.

Even if it is an enemy, it is mainly based on intimidation, supplemented by strikes.

Otherwise, Zeng Guofan's 30,000 beggar soldiers with bird guns, cannons, and Ming Huahua 1.0 are all regarded as divine weapons, and the Ming Dynasty can find two mixed brigades at will, and one charge will be enough.

But again, the second half of the nineteenth century was the last outlet for coloring the world map.

The Chinese nation, can the yellow race laugh in this coloring game In the end, occupy the most territory, and population is the top priority.

Zhu Fugui has no intention of internal friction, and has more water.

But even so, Zeng Jun suffered heavy casualties, mourned all over the field, and his morale collapsed, and he refused to leave when he arrived in Qingxian County.

is the so-called brain axe and the kitten fell in love, and it exploded when she touched her, which is really not the fault of Daming.
