Chapter 184: Zuo Zongtang is fearless in danger (2)

The Empress Dowager Cixi took over and said angrily: Yuan Baoheng is lighter than a shot, and he is presumptuous and nonsense; To Jianghuai Wanyong, put it in a place where nothing happened, and it was in vain.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: Aguba, a native of the Kokand Khanate, has invaded Xinjiang for more than four years, and this rebellion invaded and occupied southern Xinjiang and vainly organized the pseudo-Hongfu Khanate; Li Hongzhang's entry into Xinjiang to quell the rebellion is also a good one.

Prince Gong said: Emperor Qi, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Queen Mother, Virgin Mother, slaves think that Li Hongzhang's Huai Department entered Xinjiang, and the Hexi Corridor is the only entrance; The bandits in Jinjibao, Hezhou, and Suzhou are not extinguished, and it is very difficult to enter Xinjiang.

Empress Dowager Cixi said: Quickly pass the edict, within the year, Zuo Zongtang must capture Jinji Fort and completely annihilate the Mahua Dragon Bandits; After the year, he transferred to Ganlong and opened up the road to Xinjiang. Li Hongzhang's Huai Department protects the back road, checks and fills in the gaps, and prepares for safety.

In mid-April 1870, Li Hongzhang entered Shaanxi, and saw that Qin Long was calm and calm, Hongzhang couldn't cry or laugh, and said that Zhou Sheng preached: Ji Suo is really a first-class person; There are bandits in Beishan, and they will go to encircle and suppress as soon as possible.

Zhou Sheng preached: Qi Li Shuai, under the mark, there are only more than 100 thieves in Beishan, and there is no need to mobilize the public.

Li Hongzhang said: We are waiting here to replace the left army; However, if the left army does not collapse, who can do anything! If you go to Beishan to suppress bandits temporarily, you can seal the mouths of the people.

Zhou Sheng preached: Enlighten Li Shuai, Li Shuai once said in the past, the generals of the Hunan army, despise all Huaibu, such as the descendants of the boy also think of competing with the ancestors, only the decisive battle to the death slightly open the door. However, since the Battle of Yinlong River, Wuhuai's latecomers have come to the fore, attacking all and destroying all battles; Our army alone can quell this chaos; At this moment, even if Wu Huai is not too aggressive, he does not have to be cautious, and then he looks up to others.

Li Hongzhang said: The salary is so bad! Are you brave enough to surpass the Thunder Army? Rigidity is easy to bend, strong and humiliating, eternal and unchanged! Over the past few years, the left army has fought in the south and the north, consuming millions of silver per year; Ji Suo is trapped in the sea of eunuchs, can he fill his pockets? We are nitpicking, the two palaces are clear-sighted, and then the Ming army will also come, and it will be easy to replace it.

Zhou Sheng preached: When I entered Qin, not only the left army, but also the horse Hualong of Jinjibao and the horse of Hezhou were also very jealous; Invisibly, he has secretly helped the left army, and the mark is that Liu Mingchuan's Ming army will not enter Qin for the time being.

Li Hongzhang said: Soldiers, the major affairs of the country, the place of death and life, and the way of survival! The war is changing rapidly, and the fighter plane is lost in a moment, so how can it be allowed to wait for a vacant position! Quickly pass on my order, Liu Ming pass on the Ming army, and it is advisable to enter Qin as soon as possible.

The Huai army entered Qin in a big way, and the left army returned to the fort; Ma Hualong was frightened, and rushed to Shaanxi and Gan to help; replied to Liu Jintang and expressed his condolences again.

His son Ma Yaobang said: So volatile, people's hearts are lost!

Ma Hualong said: The food in the fort is almost exhausted, and within half a year, we are all starving. Then he followed my relatives to Liu Ying, presented the horses, knives and guns, and showed a little sincerity.

Ma Yaobang said: I look at the moon, Liu Jintang attacks and defends at will, and he is also a mediocre general. If he agrees, I will secretly attack Yongning Cave, and join forces with the returning armies, and then fight to the death; The war is deadlocked, and the situation has become peaceful.

Ma Hualong said: If Liu Jintang opens the net, the people of Jinjibao can be protected; The sneak attack on Yongning Cave by Erbu will be successful, otherwise it will be said that Shaanxi Wei acted in vain. At the beginning of spring planting, don't mistake farming, I will beg, please give Wuzhongbao and Banqiao a corner to plough the field and plant rice.

Ma Hualong and Ma Yaobang bowed their heads and begged for comfort, and Liu Jintang was not suspicious, and allowed farmers to open embankments to release water, plough the fields and plant rice; Old and young, women and children, out of the fort to forage for food.

Huang Wanyou asked, Jintang said: The trapped beast is still fighting, and the situation is human? Ma's father and son rebelled, begging for caressing, farming or sneak attack, it is possible, we are waiting for the cunning rabbit.

In the following days, Liu Jintang, Huang Wanyou, Dong Fuxiang and others set up ambushes and traps and captured more than 1,000 armed soldiers.

Zong Tang was very happy when he heard the news, and said that Liu Diandao, the governor of Shaanxi: Liu Jintang captured Wang Hong, the rebel leader of the militia this time, and he was very happy; I am going to kill Huang Ding, Lei Zhengjuan, Zhou Shaolian, etc., do not attack Jinji Fort for the time being, the top priority, the first to consolidate the original back road, clear the anti-water militia of Majiahe, and completely cut off the external connection of horse thieves.

Liu Diandao: Agu Baima set foot in southern Xinjiang, and Britain and Russia were ready to move; The two palaces were in a hurry, so they ordered Li Hongzhang to enter Shangzhou; Li Huai replaced us, and only needed a holy decree. Zuo Shuai is at this moment, or he can be honest.

Zuo Zongtang said: The two palaces rose with their bare hands, standing with the curtain down, and they were by no means mediocre mortals. Shaanxi, Gansu and Gansu have been in turmoil for more than eight years, and we must choose a perfect strategy to prevent this century-old disaster. Immediately tell all the departments, clean up the back road, divide into the joint attack on Jinji Fort, don't rush to attack, just like the old man, Jun Hao two, surround but not attack, forced landing Ma Hualong bandits.

Liu Dian said: Qi Yu Zuo Shuai, last month thieves disturbed Qindi, I was exhausted, I really can't support it anymore, but I am afraid of delaying the military plane, yesterday I have resigned, and today I will come to tell you, I hope that Zuo Shuai will understand.

Zongtang said: Ke'an Li Dai Tao stiff, retreat as advance, Zuo is grateful; Brother returned to Chutian, quickly cultivated himself, and then conquered the city, relying on his brother's strength.

On that day, Zong Tang said: On April 28, Liu Jintang, Huang Wanyou, Dong Fuxiang and others surrounded and suppressed more than 1,000 leaders and soldiers of Gansu and others, and ambushed them together; The minister is about to give a general overview of the situation and report it truthfully.

The rebellious Wang Hong is a great rebel in Lingzhou, Yang Shun is the official army, and Yin is in collusion with Shaanxi and Gan Gewei. There is no forgiveness for his guilt. This time, the canal will be captured, and all the leaders who will fight with evil will be annihilated, which is very satisfying.

Ma Qi Ma Eight Villages are all flattened, eliminate the elbow and armpit trouble, enough to make the old thief cold, Liu Jintang and others handled it very properly, seeing the army marching north, Yang immediately conspired with the camp office Shaanxi Zodiac to control the thief strategy.

The thief is in decline, and it is not difficult to sweep it away; However, there is no reason for the traitor to be immortal, and there is no reason to kill them all. If a person who surrenders to the court is given a passport to avoid death and is repatriated to his place of origin, and there is no other offense, the magistrate is not allowed to drag the old case and has no chance to reform himself.
