Chapter 68: How is it possible?

"Lafayette, old man, the slave dares to carry the bag, and what the slave said is definitely not a lie. There are still many brothers in the Qing Dongling, and they are still alive. Lafayette can call these brothers and tell them to say, what I said, is it nonsense. ”

Li Lianying's complexion couldn't help but change, and he thought of a possibility. However, if he raised this possibility, it would be a big mistake, so he just stood by and kept silent.

Cixi said angrily: "Xiao Lizi, tell me, how can there be such a monster in this world that can fight the enemy's musket? This kind of monster is long gone. ”

"Yes, Lafayette, since the monster of the Taiping Army was killed by the Western countries, there has been no such monster. Li Lianying said sharply.

Cixi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let people go down to investigate and see what is going on." All the headhunters must find out who did such an appalling thing. ”

On the second day, in the morning court, the court was boiling.

Now, the Manchus' control over Beijing is actually just that.

The ministers of all parties actually knew what happened in the Qing Dongling.

For a while, people were panicked.

After a while, the Empress Dowager Cixi sat behind the beaded curtain.

"There is something to say, nothing to retreat. Li Lianying stood next to the Empress Dowager Cixi and said sharply.

"Lafayette, Queen Mother. Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "I heard what happened in the Qing Dongling, and the ministers were angry. The Qing Dongling, with the ancestors of my Qing Dynasty, was actually destroyed by a madman today. ”

The minister summoned a few people from Qing Dongling to ask, and asked about the figure of the auspicious person. Then he asked the painter to draw the man according to their description. You can take a look. ”

Zuo Zongtang showed the album.

I saw a young man with an imposing attitude and sword eyebrows in the picture book.

And everyone, involuntarily gasped!

It's him!

It's him!

It's him!

He's back!

Li Hongzhang's face couldn't help but change greatly!

Zeng Guofan also gritted his teeth suddenly!

Aixin Jueluo Yixun's complexion suddenly turned cyan.

Emperor Tongzhi's face couldn't help but turn pale.

Li Lianying secretly said in her heart, it is really the kind of possibility she thought yesterday!

Even Cixi couldn't help but exclaim: "How is it possible? How is it possible? This devil, this monster, is not dead yet? How can he not be dead!"

Zuo Zongtang nodded heavily: "Lafayette, there are two possibilities now. One, the Westerners didn't kill this monster on the sea at all, but they only injured this monster. But Westerners can also make money from us. ”

"Two, the Westerners did kill the monster. But the monster thought he was a god and could be reborn. It used to take three years for the first rebirth. Now it took a year for the Westerners to kill this monster, and perhaps, he could be reborn in a year. ”

"But anyway, the monster reappeared. ”

Actually, where does Zuo Zongtang want to say that this is a monster, he wants to say that it is simply the ability of a god, and he can be reborn constantly. However, in the court of the Qing court, of course, it can only be called a monster.

Cixi's heart was now in turmoil: "How is this good? How can this be good? Everyone, what can I do?" ”

"Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, what are your opinions?" She usually deliberately snubbed Zeng Guofan, but now in a hurry, she also asked Zeng Guofan's opinion.

"First. Why did the young king of the Taiping army break into the Qing Tangling, according to some people, he seems to be looking for something. In this case, will he go to Qingxiling. Therefore, I think it is time to send someone to protect the Qingxi Tomb. ”

"Second, the people of our army will hold the young king of the Taiping army for a while at most. It's very difficult to really defeat him. Therefore, it is necessary to ask for help from Western countries. ”

Cixi frowned: "The first problem is easy to handle, near our capital, there are still 120,000 soldiers and horses, then put 120,000." Wait, transfer 40,000 soldiers and horses to Qing Xiling. ”

That's right, she wants to protect the Qing Xiling, which is too important for the Qing Dynasty.

But if too many people are transferred to the Qingxi Tomb, then what can the young king of the Taiping Army do if he enters the Forbidden City. In normal times, there were only 5,000 guards in the Forbidden City. But 5,000 is too unsafe, so it has to be increased to 50,000 immediately, and the city defense still needs people, and all aspects need people.

The original army of the Qing court was as many as hundreds of thousands, and people were not a problem, but muskets were a problem. Over the years, a lot of muskets were bought, armed forces. So now there are hundreds of thousands of musket troops.

Of course, these troops were not as elite as Zeng Guoquan's men at that time.

"By the way, we must have bought a lot of guns for the West, and we should use them all now. ”

"As for inviting Westerners to deal with the young king of the Taiping army. Cixi frowned: "Last time, I wanted to ask the Westerners to do it, or I joined forces with the Japanese, and I used 100 million." Now we can't get 100 million. ”

"Westerners should also know that we can't get 100 million now. Therefore, they should be less, and it is estimated that tens of millions can be done. If it is no longer enough, the future tariffs of some coastal cities will be given to Westerners. Li Hongzhang said.

"That's a good idea. ”

"That's a good idea. ”

Cixi nodded: "As long as the Westerners come, the young king of the Taiping Army, even if he has thousands of magical powers, there is no way." ”

By now, the big things have been agreed upon.

But one by one, their faces are still ugly.

They were the most feared and feared characters in the Qing Dynasty, and they were actually reborn.

......

And the court of the Qing Dynasty now has no secrecy system to speak of.

In the morning, he was still in the court, discussing this important matter.

In the afternoon, in Beijing, there were already waves of rhythm.

For example, at about one o'clock in the afternoon, He Xuan went out for lunch, and ordered a braised pork, a Dongpo elbow, a green vegetable, and a pot of wine.

"Have you heard that the young king of the Taiping Army has been reborn again. A homeless man whispered.

"No, he was reborn again, he was reborn once last time, and he can be reborn, could it be that he is really a god. A businessman next to him looked like he said in shock.

"I can still lie to you. I'm very well informed. The wanderer said loudly: "Tanglin, I've heard of it, it's the place where the Holy Ancestor and Grandmaster Gao are buried." There, yesterday evening, someone broke in, and there were 3,000 people guarding there. But it is said that he was pierced by the young king of the Taiping Army. ”

"Holy Grandfather and Grandmaster Gao, the skeletons of both of them were kicked out by the Young Heavenly King of the Taiping Army and scattered into a heap. ”

", that's awesome. The young king of the Taiping Army is really a god. The person next to him was dumbfounded.

He Xuan listened and took a bite of Dongpo's elbow.

The news spread so fast!
