Chapter 266: Big Deal! Forced to oppose the Hunan army

And at this time, Prince Gong suddenly came out and said: "Queen Mother, don't you need to go through the political hall for the appointment and dismissal of such feudal officials?" ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience fell silent.

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was stunned and said, "According to the sixth master's idea?" ”

Prince Gong said: "Li Hongzhang does have the duty of losing his land, and the center of the court really needs to be punished, but the investment promotion conference of the southern provinces is imminent, this is a national policy, and it is not good to delay." Is it to let Li Hongzhang first wear the guilt and make meritorious service, and wait until the end of the investment conference to let Ma Xinyi take over? ”

But from a legal point of view, this seems to be appropriate.

But this is what is in opposition to Su Yu's Westernization policy.

Then, everyone looked at the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

She's going to be embarrassed again.

She looked at Prince Gong for a long time, and said, "What about the other ministers?" ”

At this time, there were five ministers of parliament in the government hall.

Prince Gong Wang Yi and Su Yu are a bit tied for the chief.

Next is the monk Grinqin, and then the two Han Jiao Youying and Zhou Zupei.

The monk king was not there, and at this time, the two Han ministers couldn't help but tremble.

They wanted to hide all the time, and it was better for everyone to think of themselves as if they didn't exist.

I didn't expect that I still had to express my position at the critical moment.

After a long while, Zhou Zupei said: "The minister respectfully obeys the holy precepts. ”

Jiao Youying also came out and said: "The Queen Mother is Shengming, and the ministers are respectful of the precepts. ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Then it's decided, Ma Xinyi, you can leave Beijing with the holy decree and take office." ”

Ma Xinyi stepped forward and kowtowed: "Obey the order!" ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an instinctively wanted to continue the Dafa of Dispersing the Dynasty, but Prince Gong stepped forward and knelt down and said: "Empress Dowager Qi, the slave is unwell and overwhelmed, and wants to resign from the position of Minister of Parliament, please ask the Empress Dowager for permission." ”

Sure enough......

The judgments of Tian Yugong and Chongen and others appeared.

Marked by Yi's resignation.

Next, a large number of banner ministers in the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty resigned one after another.

Causes the center to stall.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said directly: "No." ”

"Scatter!"

Then, once again, she led the little emperor away.

Without waiting for other ministers to resign.

In the entire court, there has been a trend of trying to see the dagger.

…………………………

Yijun Palace.

"Gu Shan, do you know that if you take up the post of governor of Jiangsu this time, your life will be in danger?" Su Yu asked.

Ma Xinyi said: "I know, the lower official is fully ready to give." ”

Historically, Ma Xinyi had been assassinated before he became the governor of Liangjiang, so he was very strict about his trip.

Moreover, when he went to serve as the governor of Liangjiang, he also knew that he was going to fight thunder, and he also knew that he was entering the tiger's den in Longtan, and he was not unprepared.

It's just that in history, when he served as the governor of Liangjiang was six or seven years later, at that time the Hunan army had a deeper control over Jiangnan.

At this time, the Hunan army's control of Jiangsu was far inferior to history.

"Even if the lower officials are crushed, they must pull out the nail of the Hunan army for Enxiang."

Su Yu said: "Regarding the assassination of you, I have been planning for a long time. ”

Then, Su Yu handed over a photo.

"This person's name is Zhang Wenxiang, he used to be a member of the Taiping Army, and he was Li Shixian's general many years ago, and then in the war, he broke away from the Taiping Army and joined Ling's regimental training."

Ma Xinyi took the photo and was amazed.

On the prince's side, doing things is really extreme, and most of this world is full of portraits, but on the prince's side, photos are used.

Ma Xinyi said: "Xiaguan, I have an impression of this person, and the relationship is okay." ”

Su Yu said: "When you served as the political envoy of Anhui, you led the army south to support me, and this person followed your army. After that, our army carried out a large-scale elimination, and this person behaved inappropriately, so he was expelled from the ranks. ”

Ma Xinyi said: "Xia Guan remembers, when this person was cut out of the army, he was already a six-rank military general. ”

Su Yu said: "Yes, after being dismissed, his military salary and savings were squandered in repeated gambling. He began to spread dissatisfaction with you, saying that he had saved your life, that when you were defeated, he and his brothers saved you and made you rise again. As a result, because he learned about the scandal of your subordinates' wives and concubines, he was expelled from the army. ”

Ma Xinyi nodded, remembering all this.

Su Yu said: "This person is strong in martial arts, owes a lot of gambling debts, has a wife and children at home, in order to make money, in order to pay off debts, so he does a lot of dirty work on the rivers and lakes." ”

"In the past year and a half, he has done a lot of dirty work for several leaders of the Hunan army, including Huang Yisheng, the commander of the Jiangnan Navy, Bao Chao, the governor of Jiangsu, and Zeng Guoquan, the acting governor of Jiangxi."

"If nothing else, he's the assassin who is about to assassinate you."

"Now the governor of Jiangsu's yamen is still temporarily in Suzhou, and has not moved to Nanjing, so this Zhang Wenxiang will block the road on your way to the governor's yamen and shout grievances, and you are an old man, so get off the sedan chair, come to meet him, listen to his grievances, he will pull out a dagger and assassinate you."

Su Yu said: "Of course, this person has been rebelled by my intelligence department more than a year ago. ”

Ma Xinyi was stunned and admired.

Su Yu said: "Although everything has been prepared, there is a high probability that this assassination will happen, but it is only a high probability. It is still necessary to prevent accidents from happening on the way, so on the way south, the officers of the intelligence department will always contact you to report on Zhang Wenxiang's movements, and will continue to report whether this assassination will happen. ”

Then, Su Yu clapped his hands and said, "Come in." ”

A moment later, a lean young man walked in, this was Li Liang, a lieutenant colonel officer of the Intelligence Department.

The new army that followed Su Yu at the earliest, because he was very clever, was transferred to the intelligence department.

In the past few years, he has made great contributions and planned many major events.

"Li Liang, this is Lord Ma Xinyi, from now on, his security in the south, as well as intelligence work, will be in charge of you."

Lieutenant Colonel Li Liang said: "Yes." ”

Su Yu looked at the cold middle-aged man in front of him, and complained in his heart.

He was born in a peasant family, his family was poor, and he could not afford to marry a daughter-in-law, but he was handsome and flamboyant, so he deceived the body of a widow in the village.

After joining the new army, he swore that when he was developed, he would marry the widow into the door.

He did develop quickly, but it was not this widow who he married, but a certain woman from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Women's Camp, who was much younger and more beautiful.

After the marriage, he did not forget his original intention and sent someone back to his hometown to bring the widow.

As a result, I didn't expect that the widow was already married, married to a farmer.

Then, his riot operation came, and he spent a lot of money to buy a good woman from the county town and gave it to this farmer. And then he still married that widow home as a concubine, and he really didn't change his original intention.

And this widow, who was actually nine years older than him, now gave birth to two children for him.

……………………

Next!

Ma Xinyi took the governor's guard and went directly south to Suzhou to take up his post.

His identity at this time is not only the governor of Jiangsu, but also the imperial court.

Traveling south together was Prince Hui Mianyu, who represented the center of the imperial court and was going to attend the investment promotion conference of the southern provinces on October 15.

Ma Xinyi took the sea route, and Mianyu took the canal.

However, some people were faster, and they went south by boat without sleep, and went to Suzhou to report.

In other words, during this time, the personnel from the capital in Jiangsu have never been interrupted.

Almost every few hours, a man and a horse are speeding south.

Because everyone knows that Su Yu and the Hunan army are trying to see each other.

………………

Three days later.

Suzhou received a message from the imperial court.

"The central center of the imperial court deposed the governor of Jiangsu of Lord Li Hongzhang and canonized Ma Xinyi as the new governor of Jiangsu."

"The chief minister of the political affairs hall, Prince Gong Yi, officially resigns."

"Prince Hui Mianyu has gone south and will arrive in Suzhou in the near future to participate in the investment promotion conference of several southern provinces on behalf of the center of the imperial court."

Several Hunan army giants looked at each other.

Li Hongzhang asked: "Ma Xinyi can bring the army over?" ”

The messenger said, "It's just a few hundred guards. ”

Li Xubin said: "But he came by sea, and he was going to pass through Shanghai, and at this time, Su Yu's first division was in Shanghai, and it was conducting military exercises with the British. In other words, Ma Xinyi could let the first division enter Suzhou at any time. ”

"What if, after the first division enters Suzhou? Should we hold this investment conference in Suzhou? ”

Peng Yulin said: "Even if Su Yu has the courage to do it, he doesn't dare to do anything to the foreigners." ”

Li Xubin said: "However, they can block the entire venue in any name, so that the entire investment conference cannot be carried out." ”

Jiangnan Admiral Bao Chao suddenly said: "Otherwise, I just don't do it, and I don't stop doing it, and I will do Ma Xinyi." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience changed.

Zeng Guoquan said: "When he Su Yu was only the acting governor of Jiangxi at that time, he dared to send someone to rob and kill the Qincha fleet, and killed Dexinga and Weng Tongshu, he can be the first year of junior high school, can't we be fifteen?" ”

Huang Yisheng, the commander of the Jiangnan Navy Division, said: "I just want to ask you, if Ma Xinyi is allowed to sit firmly after the governor of Jiangsu." Next, in the name of the center of the imperial court, Su Yu constantly dismissed all the governors of our Hunan army faction and changed them all, what should I do? ”

Li Xubin said: "Don't forget, at that time, Su Yu established the Southern Seven Provinces Alliance, and the imperial court also wanted to replace the governor of Zhejiang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and the governor of Jiangxi several times, but what was the result?" Su Yu used ferocious means to fight back. ”

"If Ma Xinyi is allowed to gain a firm foothold in Jiangsu, then next, we will wait for all the feudal officials of our family to be dismissed."

Zeng Guoquan said: "Su Yu dared to do that, that is, when our Hunan army mutinied. ”

Li Xubin said: "He has already started to do it now, and he has deposed Li Hongzhang, will we mutiny or not?" If you don't fight back, then wait until whomever you want to remove, and then fight back? ”

Zeng Guofan held his forehead and said, "The Russians in the north, haven't they declared war yet?" Hasn't the Northwest Rebellion broken out yet? ”

Now, if the north does not move, the northwest does not move, and the Hunan army does not dare to move.

Zeng Guoquan said: "Big brother, Ma Xinyi's side will come to Suzhou soon, and the time is already very urgent." ”

Historically, the Hunan army dared to attack Ma Xinyi, completely fearless, and the center of the Qing court had no choice but to stop it.

And in this world, the Hunan army is full of panic, because it is facing the threat of the Su Yu army.

However, in this world, their thoughts about Ma Xinyi's actions are more urgent.

There is even a posture that has to be done.

"Prepare two options." Zeng Guofan said: "The first plan is to wait for the news from the north, whether the Russians have declared war, whether there is a major chaos in the northwest, we must wait until these two news are confirmed." ”

"The second plan, before October 10, was officially announced that the investment conference of several southern provinces would be relocated to Wuchang."

According to Zeng Guofan's plan, an investment conference was held on October 15.

On October 10, the official announcement of the change of location will be too late for you Su Yu to remove Peng Yulin, the governor of Hubei.

………………………………

September twenty-four.

Another court meeting.

Yi, as the chief parliamentary minister, did not attend the court meeting and said that he was sick at home.

Although his resignation was resigned, it was not approved by the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

When the Empress Dowager Ci'an appeared in the court hall holding the little emperor's hand, she still had a bang in her mind when she saw this scene in the hall.

Because, almost a third of it is empty.

The banner people in the entire hall are all high-grade adults, and one-third of them are sick at home.

And the reason for many banner ministers is very absurd, the children in the family are infected with smallpox, lest it spread to the court and affect the health of the queen mother and the emperor, so during this time, they will not go to the court.

This group of banner ministers is really ridiculous.

I don't dare to formally resign.

On the grounds that someone in the family was infected with smallpox, were so many flag people infected with smallpox at once?

At this time, Su Yu asked for permission to let all the family members of the banner man Lao Suo who participated in the forced palace be exiled to Ningguta, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an did not approve this recital.

Even, she didn't dare to criticize.

But even so, there was still a third vacancy in the court.

Then!

I don't know how long the bad news has been brewing, but it has finally arrived at the center of the imperial court.

"Six hundred miles expedited, six hundred miles expedited."

"Shaanxi and Gansu returned to the rebellion, wantonly slaughtered Hanmin, Weiyuan, Hezhou, Huxian, Xingping, Sanyuan, Gaoling, Dali, Puzhou, Huazhou, Heyang, Chengcheng and other places, riots broke out, thousands of miles of blood."

"The territory rebelled, Kucha, Urumqi, Hotan, Kashgar, Ili and other places began to gather rebels, attack cities and plunder, and ask the imperial court to send troops to support."

The day has finally come.

Some are a little later than they are historical, and some are a little earlier than they are.

But, after all, it still came.

The entire northwest, more than one-third of the country's territory, instantly ignited the flames of war.

More than hundreds of thousands of rebels began to carry out a killing spree on the land.

This is almost certain to happen, because the root cause is that a few years ago, the Taiping Army, the Twist Army rebelled, and the British and French forces broke through the capital, which completely shook the rule of the Qing court.

The surroundings of Zhili are barely okay, and there are at least Han people in the south to practice.

In the northwest frontier, the ruling power of the Qing court has weakened to the extreme.

Fortunately, Su Yu carried out the abolition of the Eight Banners a year ahead of schedule and organized and trained the new army.

Fortunately, Su Yu used the power of thunder last year to completely suppress the Twist Army and completely eliminate the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so that the center of the imperial court had at least more than half a year of respite.

And, in an extremely precious window of time, all the Eight Banner Army was dismantled.

Otherwise, everything will be delayed until this year, and the world will be completely chaotic and completely erosive.

……………………

Inside the Chung Cui Palace.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Why hasn't she come back yet?" ”

"Why hasn't she come back yet? I really can't take it anymore. ”

In the court, one-third of the banner ministers said that they were sick at home, and many key departments in the center fell into a standstill.

Their current request to take a step back is to reject Su Yu's excerpt and the excerpt of the exile of the Eight Banners to Ningguta.

As long as Su Yu's recital is rejected, many banner ministers are willing to compromise.

Su Yu comforted: "Queen Mother, don't panic, don't panic." ”

"The chaos in the northwest and the chaos in the territory are all the consequences of the decline of the imperial court in the past ten years, and they have nothing to do with the queen mother."

"Moreover, this time Zuo Zongtang led the army to Xi'an to preside over the removal of the local Eight Banners, and he has already brought thousands of troops and has built a solid defense line in Xi'an City, so although Shaanxi has also been in chaos, as long as Xi'an does not fall, there will be no major events in the whole Shaanxi."

"The Northwest Rebellion seems to be powerful, but their combat effectiveness is not strong, and they can't flood the hinterland of the Great Qing Dynasty!"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "But this large piece of land accounts for almost one-third or one-quarter of my Qing Dynasty, but it must not be lost." ”

And at this moment, the voice of the great eunuch Zenglu sounded outside.

"The Queen Mother, Zuo Zongtang returned to Beijing and asked to see the Queen Mother."

………………

A moment later, Zuo Zongtang entered the Zhong Cui Palace.

"See the Queen Mother."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "How is it?" What is the situation in the Northwest? ”

Zuo Zongtang said: "It's very tragic, Shaanxi is guarded by thousands of ministers, so the situation is still good." On the Gansu side, it was killed thousands of miles of blood, and the bones were like mountains. The Russians in the territory wantonly supported the traitors such as Residin Khan, Zhuo, Tuming, Habibullah Khan, Jin Xiangyin and Sidike, and the Sultan of Taranchi, and the situation was precarious, and if they were not careful, these thousands of miles of rivers and mountains would be lost. ”

Historically, the Qing court's rebellion against the territory was powerless to quell the rebellion, so it could only sit back and watch the secession regime over there grow, sit back and watch the annexation of the territory by Tsarist Russia and Britain, and sit back and watch Aguba continue to encroach on the land.

It was not until after the Shaanxi-Gansu rebellion was quelled, under Zuo Zongtang's strong request and with the help of borrowing military funds from foreigners, that he once again carried the coffin out to recover Xinjiang.

At that time, many parts of the entire territory had been lost for more than ten years.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yu, what are you going to do?" ”

Su Yu said: "First level Shaanxi and Gansu, and then collect Xinjiang." ”

"The minister recommended Zuo Zongtang, Minister of War, to lead the first brigade of the second division, the first brigade of the third division, the fourth division, the sixth division, the first brigade of the garrison division, and the seventh division, with a total of 60,000 troops, to Shaanxi and Gansu, completely and thoroughly, to quell all rebellions and kill all traitors."

Hearing Su Yu's words, the Empress Dowager Ci'an was slightly stunned.

This...... Is it such a big deal?

"If Bengong remembers correctly, the Seventh Division, which should be composed of the Twist Army and the Taiping Army cavalry, has only been trained in Tianjin for less than four months." Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "How many people are there in this seventh division? ”

Su Yu said: "Thirteen thousand." ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Are all cavalry? ”

Su Yu said: "Yes, to quell the Shaanxi-Gansu rebellion, a large number of cavalry will be used. ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "A few months ago, this group of people were still rebels, isn't it too risky?" ”

Zuo Zongtang said: "The Queen Mother can rest assured, Li Xiucheng, the commander of the seventh division, and Li Shixian, the deputy commander of the division, are all Chinese people, and they will do their best in this battle." ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Su Yu, I remember that you fought before, and you have never used so many troops. ”

Last year, Su Yu went to recover Zhejiang, and faced more than 100,000 rebel troops, that is, more than 30,000 troops.

And this time, Zuo Zongtang actually brought 60,000 people.

That's a lot bigger than history.

In history, Zuo Zongtang led the Western Expeditionary Army, known as 50,000 or 60,000, but in fact, there were about 20,000 people.

Historically, it took several years for the Northwest Rebellion to subside, and the Han people were killed by 10 or 20 million, which was too tragic.

And this time, Su Yu gave Zuo Zongtang a stronger army and better weapons.

And the cavalry alone has nearly 20,000.

It is hoped that he will be able to completely quell the rebellion in the shortest possible time.

In the whole Shaanxi and Gansu, a thorough long-term peace and stability has been created.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "There is chaos in the northwest and the territory, and the Russians in the north are also going to move?" ”

Su Yu said: "Yes." ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "Then what are you going to do?" ”

Su Yu said: "The minister plans to send three divisions, as well as a brigade of the Jingshou Division, to the north of Heilongjiang to build a defensive line. ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "That...... In this way, you will have no army against the Hunan army. ”

Su Yu said: "There is also my first division in Jiujiang, as well as the eighth and ninth divisions that Chen Yucheng and Lin Qirong are training. ”

"Don't be afraid, according to our intelligence, although the Russians have gathered 50,000 troops in the Sino-Russian border army, their military supplies and food supplies are still far from enough.

"And our tenth, eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth divisions, some are already in training, and some are already on the way."

"There is war potential for next year, and even the year after."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "What about military spending? ”

Su Yu said: "Allocated to Zuo Zongtang's western expeditionary army, a total of 20 million taels of military expenses, and about 7 million taels of military expenses allocated to the direction of Heilongjiang. ”

"About one-third of this silver, borrowed from foreigners, has been fully prepared."

The Empress Dowager Ci'an couldn't believe it: "So much silver, all the arrangements are made?" ”

According to the concept of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, not long ago, Shandong and Henan were pacified, 100,000 local eight banners were abolished, and six divisions were reorganized and trained in a new type of army.

How can you get the military expenses of these two or three million taels?

At other times, it would have been a huge deficit long ago.

But Su Yu is different, he made a windfall by eliminating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and there is also the super profit of Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone.

"Among them, 12 million taels were borrowed from the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone by the imperial court." Su Yu said: "Next, the center of the court is to be returned." ”

………………………………

This time, the imperial court decreed very quickly.

Only on the third day after the news of the Northwest Rebellion entered the court, it was already decreed to canonize the Minister of War Zuo Zongtang as the commander of the Western Expeditionary Army and the minister of the Qincha.

Began to gather 60,000 troops to the west, preparing to go to the northwest to quell the rebellion.

And these 60,000 Western Expeditionary Army can be described as famous generals such as Yun, Wang Shiqing, Li Xiucheng, Li Shixian, Zhang Zongyu, Duxinga, and Duolonga.

From the direction of Tianjin, a steady stream of troops marched in the direction of the capital.

From Zhili to Henan to Shaanxi, local governors have already begun to take action, preparing to start requisitioning a large number of people to transport grain and grass.

Meanwhile!

Although the Russians have not yet officially declared war.

However, Su Yu had already petitioned the imperial court to prepare for the Northern Expeditionary Army, focusing on the Heilongjiang battlefield.

For a time, the whole world was covered with war clouds.

……………………

The third day of October.

The top brass of the Hunan army has received the latest news from the imperial court.

Zuo Zongtang was the commander and formed a 60,000-strong Western Expeditionary Army.

This trick surprised the entire Hunan army high-level.

Sixty thousand?

Sixty thousand?

According to their predictions, it should be around 30,000.

If it is fought steadily, it is enough for 30,000 elites to quell the chaos in the northwest.

Moreover, Su Yu also had to form a Northern Expeditionary Army to defend Heilongjiang, although he did not explicitly say that he would recover Aihui City and Hailan Pao.

But the name is called the Northern Expeditionary Army, which makes people think of everything.

Hearing the rumors, Su Lu also formed the Northern Expeditionary Army with 40,000 people, and it will increase in the future.

That...... This stance?

The army that Su Yu used to deal with their Hunan army was only about 30,000 people?

This...... Who is this to look down on?

……………………

Ma Xinyi, the governor of Jiangsu, deliberately walked very slowly.

Even after arriving in Shanghai, he went to observe the joint exercises of the 1st Division and the British Marine Corps.

But no matter how slow it is, it will take two or three days at most to enter Suzhou.

In any case, the top brass of the Hunan army must make up their minds.

Which option to choose?

It's a really hard choice.

So much so that Zeng Guofan repeatedly asked Li Hongzhang: "At that time, when Su Lu robbed and killed Weng Tongshu and Dexing's Qincha fleet, there were only three or four thousand new troops in his hands. How did he come up with this decision? ”

"How dare he take such a risk?"

Li Hongzhang said: "Teacher, it is meaningless to pursue Su Yu's state of mind at that time. ”

"For us, there is only one question, in the face of the chaos in the northwest and the pressure of the Russian army in the north, does Su Yu dare to force our 200,000 Hunan army?"

"Once we are forced to rebel, Jiangnan, which has finally calmed down, will be completely destroyed."

"A large number of troops in Su have just begun training, and some are even on their way to Tianjin."

"If he doesn't dare to force us to oppose us, is it that everything he does is a bluff and a fierce inward-looking."

Zeng Guofan fell silent.

Li Hongzhang asked: "Teacher, you were a member of the Southern Seven Provinces Alliance for a long time, when he used the Seven Provinces Alliance to fight against the center of the First Emperor, did he have a time of bluff and inwardness?" ”

Zeng Guofan nodded and said, "Yes, and there are a lot." He likes to use four taels to dial a thousand pounds the most. ”

And right now.

Someone rushed in.

"Dashuai, Xu Youren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, led the Yangtze River fleet to officially block all Yangtze River routes in Jiangsu, and declared the entire Yangtze River waterway a military forbidden area."

"No vessel shall enter."

Hearing this, Zeng Guofan trembled and said angrily: "It's too much to deceive people! ”

According to their plan, once the investment conference cannot be held in Suzhou, it will be relocated to Wuchang.

Because Su Yu could not remove the governor of Hubei in the shortest possible time.

As a result, now that Su Yu has directly blocked the Yangtze River, it is too late for you to take hundreds of businessmen and foreigners to Wuchang for an investment conference.

Zeng Guofan trembled and said: "Is he forcing us to die and break the net?" ”

"He's always been so aggressive, there's no room for anything."

…………………………

October 6.

Ma Xinyi, the governor of Jiangsu, finally came to Suzhou from Shanghai.

Under the protection of the Qincha Guard, he came in a mighty way.

And Li Hongzhang, the original governor of Jiangsu, had to lead the crowd to meet outside the city gate.

This is also the agenda that the central part of the imperial court rushed to Suzhou in advance and requested.

Of course, the Hunan army can choose to comply with it or not.

In addition to being the new governor of Jiangsu, Ma Xinyi was also a minister of the Imperial Mission.

"The Divine Decree has arrived!" With a shout, he said: "Li Hongzhang commands!" ”

Li Hongzhang, the former governor of Jiangsu, stepped forward and knelt down.

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and removes Li Hongzhang from the post of governor of Jiangsu, and he can enter Beijing and listen to the holy teachings, and he admires this!"

Li Hongzhang kowtowed: "The ministers will thank you, long live, long live, long live!" ”

Then, Ma Xinyi gave the holy decree to Li Hongzhang.

Li Hongzhang said to the many officials behind him: "Meet your new Lord Futai." ”

Officials at all levels bowed down and said, "See Lord Futai." ”

Ma Xinyi waved his hand and said, "Let's go into the city!" ”

Then, he sat back in the heavily defended sedan chair.

"Up!"

"Into town!"

In the blowing and blowing, the team of more than several hundred people, mighty and mighty, entered the city of Suzhou.

A few hundred Qin sent guards to escort Ma Xinyi to the temporary governor's yamen.

Hundreds of officials followed on foot in the back.

The whole atmosphere is very dignified.

Because these officials, they don't know what will happen? Could it be that the Hunan army just let Ma Xinyi take over the governor of Jiangsu?

Take Suzhou?

When there are still a few hundred meters away from the temporary yamen.

Suddenly, a man appeared on the road ahead.

Hold up a big word of injustice.

"Lord Futai, avenge my grievances!"

"Lord Futai, I was wronged!"

The Qincha guards were about to step forward and expel the man.

As a result, the man shouted: "Lord Futai, it's me, have you forgotten the old man who once saved you?" ”

Jiangsu Governor Ma Xinyi opened the curtain and found that it was indeed a familiar face, Zhang Wenxiang.

He has seen this photo many times.

Taking a deep breath, Ma Xinyi said: "Stop, get off the sedan chair!" ”

The Qin cha guard next to him said, "My lord, just send it away." ”

Ma Xinyi said: "Get off the sedan chair!" ”

Suddenly, the whole team stopped.

The huge sedan chair stopped, and Ma Xinyi, the governor of Jiangsu, walked out of the sedan chair, walked towards the man on the ground, and said, "What grievances do you have?" ”

Zhang Wenxiang kowtowed and shouted: "My lord, I am wronged, I am too wronged." ”

Ma Xinyi stepped forward, stretched out his hands to help him up, and said, "You can say it, the official is in charge of you." ”

Suddenly, Zhang Wenxiang's face suddenly turned cold, and he said angrily: "Dog officer, die!" ”

Then, he jerked out the dagger from his sleeve and stabbed it into Ma Xinyi's chest.

And at the same time!

"Bang!" A gunshot rang out in the distance.

Ma Xinyi, the new governor of Jiangsu, slowly fell, and blood flowed all over the ground.

…………………………

Note: It's been five days since otitis media, plus I had insomnia yesterday, so it's only 8,000 words today, I'm really sorry.

(End of chapter)
