Chapter 134: Cixi made a decision on the spot

Zeng Guofan received Li Hongzhang's consultation, and said happily: Li Shaoquan signed in Shanghai, painted a scoop according to the gourd, and fought steadily and steadily, which is a fortunate thing; Guo Yunxian has lived in Beijing for a long time, and it is difficult to deal with the nobles, and he is often to blame, wasting his years, and going to Shanghai may have something to do. Lao Jiu and Xueqin broke through the Jinzhu Pass, and the country recovered Wuhu; Taiping Mansion belongs to a city in Wuhu, especially Mo is heavier than a pass of Jinzhu Pass, since the attack to seize this pass, the upper and lower cities to pass for me to have, from this day to forge ahead, there are opportunities to take advantage of. Military expediency. However, Zuo Zongtang's troops were stranded in Quzhou, and there was no progress; Is Jiang Yili recruiting bravely?

Zhao Liewen said: Jiang Yili has strangled the stone to open up, and he has made meritorious contributions to Gui, and the governor of Guangdong, Lao Chongguang, has raised 8,000 soldiers in Xiangchu, and it may arrive next month.

Zeng Guofan smiled and said: Jiang Yili is anxious, and I and Run Gongsu are dissatisfied; Ji Gao is stubborn and stubborn, and the two get along and complement each other.

Zhao Liewen sighed: There are many dragons and tigers, invincible; After Runshuai died, the courage was no more!

Zeng Guofan said: In the first battle of Anqing, Duolong Agong was the most, Bao Chao was second, and Lao Jiu was third. However, Lao Jiu was rewarded with the title of political envoy of Gabu, and was rewarded with a yellow coat in the name of the envoy in case of missing inscriptions; Dorona was only given the rank of Captain of the Cloud Cavalry; Bao Chao still holds the rank of admiral, and he is superior. Duobao is unfair in rewards and punishments, and then don't do your best! Otherwise, Bao Chaoting's army will attack the broken Ning Kingdom with all its strength, and Yang Yifu Qingyan will have the power to divide his troops! Duolonga poured troops to besiege Chen Gou's isolated Luzhou, and he couldn't break it in half a year? Run Gong is heavy to pour a lot of silver and two assets, and the light is to look at each other to be gentle and frugal, Zeng can't do it! Zeng sat in Anqing and watched the actions of many dragons and tigers.

Anqing City was broken, the British King Chen Yucheng retreated to Luzhou, and ordered Yong Tian'an Ma Ronghe to lead the army north, and Zhang Lexing, the king of Wo, and Miao Peilin, the king of Huiwo, attacked Yingshang and entered the Central Plains.

Soon, Yucheng sent Fu Wang Chen Decai, Qi Wang Liang Chengfu, Zunwang Lai Wenguang, and Hu Wang Lan Cheng to Henan and Shaanxi in order to Beijing.

Obey the king Lai Wenguang knelt down and persuaded again: After the defeat of Anqing, the military spirit declined greatly, so the division of troops and four blows, Luzhou was thin, and it was not enough to resist the army of Duolonga, Yuan Jiasan, and Li Xuyi.

Yucheng said disdainfully: The Li brothers, attacking Zhejiang and entering the Soviet Union, are prosperous; I divided my troops to overlook Henan and Shaanxi, and passed through the Central Plains, why not!

The jade division of the troops, Duolong A stealed, that is, the general soldier Lei Zhengwan entered the twenty miles of shop, the deputy commander Wen Deleke entered the Dashu Mountain, and the general soldier Shi Qingji entered the eighteen miles of Gang, and surrounded the east, south and west of Luzhou.

Not a day, Yuan Jia's three governors besieged the north of Luzhou, within ten days, the deputy general Xu Yi stationed in Hengdian, Gudui, the capital Chu Kaitai captured Liangyuan, and the general Zhang Desheng captured the store.

Chen Yucheng was shocked and urgently ordered Chen Decai, Ma Ronghe, and Zhang Lexing to return to Lucheng to discuss the military plane. However, letters of aid were sent repeatedly, but not a single soldier was seen.

Yucheng was helpless and asked for help from Tianjing.

Hong Xiuquan received the notice, and ordered the protector of Wang Chen Kunshu and Wang Hongchunyuan to lead 40,000 troops to cross the river to rescue.

Although Chen Hong's two kings' soldiers crossed the river, they were repeatedly defeated, and the soldiers did not reach Lu, and more than 10,000 people were lost.

On May 1, 1862, Duolonga issued an order for a general attack, which broke through Luzhou in less than half a month.

Yucheng panicked, and fled to Dongjindu, Shouzhou, with more than 3,000 people from Wang Chen Dede and Wang Chen Shirong.

When Miao Peilin heard this, he invited Yucheng into the city to talk in detail.

Yucheng wants to go.

All the generals advised: Miao is capricious, the first rat is many, don't share it.

Yuchengdao: I fight Anqing, Miao Wei Shouzhou, complement each other; I was trapped in Luzhou, Miao attacked Ying, and both were defeated. Miao Wan was helpless, and returned to the Qing Demon, but his body was in Cao Ying, but his heart was in me; You can't wait, in the battle of Yingshang, Miao secretly released Zhang Lexing, the king of Wo. I have made up my mind, that is, to enter Shouzhou, join the Miao 100,000 army, and attack the capital in the north to achieve a great cause.

When Yu Chengfu entered the city wall, he was bound.

Yucheng scolded: pickled puppeteer, scoundrel villain, a grass on the wall, the wind blows on both sides, the dragon wins to help the dragon, the tiger wins to help the tiger, and even a thief will not be named in the future! I die today, and I die tomorrow!

Miao Peilin said: So what, those who become big things are not informal! The right to borrow your head is used, and I will repeat it again!

When Zeng Guofan heard that Chen Yucheng was bound, tears of joy rippled, and he immediately burned incense to pay tribute to the ancients. When the staff heard this, they also congratulated each other. Everyone is rejoicing, probe, Zeng Guoquan led the Jizi battalion, Lianke Moling Pass, Sanxia River, Dasheng Pass, into the Yuhuatai, less than four miles away from the Jinling thief city.

Zeng Guofan was shocked and asked urgently: Where are Peng Yulin and Zeng Guobao now?

The spies reported again: Zeng Guobao's troops were stationed from the Sanchai River to the Jiangdong Bridge, building a fortress by the water to protect the grain road; Peng Yulin's sailor has arrived at the mouth of the Jinling moat, and he has communicated with Lu Shi.

Zeng Guofan hurriedly said: I have repeatedly advised that when the Bao army encircles Ningguo, it is very stable, and many troops will enter Jiuhuanzhou, and then discuss advancing. Today, Bao Chao hesitated in Ningguo, and many armies were in Luzhou, but Lao Jiu went straight alone, which is false!

Not long, Peng Yulin consulted: Jiangxinzhou, the moat fierce battle, the fire and wind, the people are boiling, the thieves do not know a number of officers and soldiers, many of them panicked, our army is fortunate to succeed, break through the more than 30 miles of the continent, otherwise it is not easy to attack.

Zeng Guofan muttered: The more you advance, the more dangerous it becomes, Zeng Guoquan, Peng Yulin, and Zeng Guobao's troops, quickly retreat, and stand by to fight again.

Zhao Liewen said: According to the nature of the nine marshals, there is no reason to retreat.

Zeng Guofandao: Quickly pass on my order, Zeng Guoquan and Zeng Guobao, quickly dig ditches and build fortifications, everywhere is two-layered, the front layer resists the city thieves, and the back layer firmly guards against the bandits. Yang Zaifu's ministry and various naval armies carried more gunpowder and food, and quickly connected with Peng Yulin's sailors to ensure that the waterway was unblocked. Bao Chaoting's department, don't delay it any longer, speed up the Ningguo, rush into Gaochun and Lishui, and think it is solidarity.

The order of the national domain was stopped, and the resumption was sparse: Zeng Guoquan, Peng Yulin, and Zeng Guobao were three, with only more than 10,000 soldiers, and in the south corner of Tunzha, Hong was not surprised when he saw it, and seemed to have no fear. The minister planned to transfer the army of Duolonga to the meeting, and when the army was extremely powerful, he attacked from all sides, and he could succeed. At this time, the provinces are many reasons, and soldiers are needed everywhere, and the ministers foolishly say that it is advisable to run Jiangnan with all their strength and recover the area endowed with wealth. However, if it can solve more than 100,000 stones of Su Cao every year, and millions of taels of Huai class enter Beijing, and the Ministry of Households has a little capital turnover, and the capital of the capital division is not afraid, then the provinces can be suppressed in the first place.

When the Empress Dowager Cixi heard the music, she couldn't sleep at night, and she couldn't make a decision when she asked Ci'an; Then convene the political king Yixin to discuss it.

Yixin said: The slave thinks that Dolong Abe does not need to go to Jinling. Emperor Daxing said that those who get Jinling can be crowned the king of the county; After the rebel Wu Sangui, the Han people had no king; If Zeng Guofan recovers Jinling, it will not be a fortunate thing. In the first battle of Anqing, Duolong Ali prevented Chen Yucheng from becoming a rebel, which should be the first credit; By mistake, the Zeng brothers earned it; Dolong Ah will complain, even if he is ordered to help, he will not do his best. The Cantonese bandit Chen Decai's troops entered Shaanxi, Shaanxi was in turmoil, and the governor of Shaanxi, Ying, was incompetent, and he urgently needed a powerful man to supervise the troops into Shaanxi.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: The sixth master is reasonable, and the mourning family also means this. That is, the general of Jingzhou, Duolong'a, supervised the headquarters, transferred from Yingshan to Macheng through Wuchang, and entered Shaanxi along Xiangyang.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: Such a toss, it is difficult to arrive in March; Why not from Lu to Yu, from Yu to Shaanxi.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: Monk Grinqin, after the battle of Balihe, bravely waiting to recover; Shengbao is bent on appeasement, not the main chaos; Eight Banners Athletes, but Duolong A is brave and complete, the military strategy is finely examined, and many departments are folded into Wuchang, with three intentions: first, the renovation time, from Xiangyang to Shaanxi to quell the chaos; 2. If the Quanxiang Department of Zeng Guo was defeated, many of them would immediately return to the Soviet Union, and they would raise the Abu of the two Pu and attack Jinling together; Miao Lian Peilin, with 100,000 troops, strangled Jianghuai, it was really a big disaster, the victory was the main care, Zeng Guofan, Li Xuyi was the main suppression, if the Fu did not succeed, the army must rise, many troops were stationed in Hubei, and they could enter Huai at any time.

Yixin said: This Miao Peilin is indeed the grass on the wall, capricious. first for the twist, and then for the victory to appease; The first emperor Bintian, who claimed to be the king in vain, was enough to punish his nine clans; and the Cantonese bandits besieged Anqing, and in the name of unauthorized killing, they united with the Cantonese bandits to besiege Shouzhou; Shouzhou was under the siege of Yingzhou, and the Guangdong bandits and twisted bandits besieged Yingzhou; Yingzhou is not allowed, the victory is restored, and the tail is wagging and begging. Such a person must be completely eliminated.

The Empress Dowager Cixi smiled and said: Such a person actually deceived Chen Zhiyu into the urn, cleared a huge trouble for me, rewarded him for meritorious service, temporarily forgave his crimes, and gave him the title of waiter.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: Duolong Abu entered Shaanxi, and Zeng Guoquanxiang fought alone. This Jinling flood is actually the head of all thieves.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: Li Hongzhang entered Shanghai, Zuo Zongtang entered Zhejiang, all of them were the arms of the Zeng Department, Bao Chaoting's Department, be sure to move the camp into the force, quickly pull out the strong city, as soon as Ningjun recovered, that is, from Guangde to Gaochun, Lishui, sweeping every day, together with the Jinling water and land armies, pounding holes and capturing canals.
