Chapter 525: Yang Zicheng in the west, and Luo Ergon in the east (please vote, please book)
When the clock timed in the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Hall rang six times, Zeng Guofan's thousand-layer cloth shoes were crossing the high threshold and stepped onto the East Warm Pavilion. The Hunan Army commander only rode his horse this morning.
When they entered the capital, the gray braids were covered with dust and smoke. A pair of hanging eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and the cheekbones on their faces were raised higher.
"Shishuai Zeng came just right." The Empress Dowager Naralan's guards passed the map to Baoding Prefecture. "Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing has arrived at Baoding Prefecture, not far from our Beijing city. Li Shaoquan said that the capital is difficult to defend.
I suggest that I and the Emperor and the Supreme Master go west together, what do you think?”
Zeng Guofan did not kowtow to Naralaner according to the old rules. He just bowed and bowed, then walked to the table with the map and took a look. Then he looked at Li Hongzhang, who had just stood up from the embroidery pedestal.
He said with a bad look: "Even if you want to hunt west, you have to repel Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing's troops first. Otherwise, how can we go west? You can't leave Juyong Pass and walk outside the mouth, right? It's cold autumn, and the sky outside the mouth
The cold land is frozen and food is exhausted,
How do you get away from dozens or millions of people?”
Li Hongzhang said: "Teacher, where are there dozens or millions of people who have to escape from Beijing? Students are only under the elite soldiers of the six towns, but actually only 70,000 to 80,000. Although the thirty-six-sided begging troops under the teacher's devil is known as one million,
But the real fight is only 50,000 or 60,000. These tens of thousands of people have protected the emperor, the queen mother, and the emperor, together, and went out of Juyongguan, and quickly went west.
It will be arriving in Datong in ten days." Before he finished speaking, Feng Guifen looked at Babaili and rushed in quickly: "The army on the North Changmao Road is approaching Datong!"
The atmosphere in the East Warehouse Pavilion was stagnant. Li Hongzhang took two steps, and the soles of the French calfskin shoes made a "wide" sound: "Yang Xiuqing has always been cunning in using troops. He must have gone north with a side army and set up flags.
In fact, there are not many people, and his main force is all in Baoding! We are going to break south and just hit us!"
Naralan's armor text slid towards the Tianjin Dahuokou on the map. Wanzhen used a red brush to draw a steamship with a big smoke and braised braised manure on the sea: "The hairs coming from the sea
Didn't come out of the big hustle?"
Li Hongzhang shook his head and said confidently: "Not yet! Zhang Shusheng, who guards Tianjin, is a tiger general. The brigade he led is also an elite trained by French officers. He can withstand some days. Please rest assured.
"
Naralan's brow was slightly browed, and an enamel tobacco box was in her palm, but she complained to Zhang Shusheng for a while. She now hopes that her good brother-in-law Luo Yaoguo will come to Beijing soon!
Luo Yaoguo is here, and she is likely to be the Queen Mother of the Later Jinju, and she will be able to see the Qing Dynasty's signature to stabilize the northwest, northeast and Mongolian grasslands for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
But if Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing come first, she will have to be lit with the sky lantern! Even if Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan are protected to Xi'an in the end, they may not be able to make a good decision...::... They want to go further, and they will eventually usurpate them.
What a rebellion!
Thinking of this, Naralan'er had already made up her mind and turned her eyes to stare at Zeng Guofan and asked, "Shuai Zeng, how likely is there to win a battle with Hong Yang?"
"There should be 60% chance of winning!" Zeng Guofan said with a caress.
"Where is the chance of winning?" Naralan's eyes opened.
Zeng Guofan gently pulled the court bead with his left hand: "I have many soldiers and few bandits, so this is the chance of victory! My soldiers occupy the geographical advantage and the bandits are tired from afar, so this is the chance of victory; my soldiers have French cannons, but the bandits only have small cannons
, this is the third chance of winning; our soldiers have Mongolian horses, the Western horses of the Beiyang Army, and the bandits only have Nianzi horses, which is the fourth chance of winning."
Naralan's eyebrows were frowned: "With so many chances of winning, how can we win 60% together? Where are the successes and failures in the four?"
Li Hongzhang spoke in a stern tone: "The food and grass are not good, the epidemic is not stopped, the salary is not enough, and people's hearts are unstable...\n...\n. Queen Mother, Beijing cannot be defended!"
"I understand!" Naralan'er met Li Hongzhang's gaze and did not give in. "I have made up my mind...\n...\n. Focus on fighting with Changmao! Li Shaoquan, please give you a chance..
The soldiers in Tianjin should also be transferred!”
Li Hongzhang was stunned: "What should I do in Tianjin?"
Naralaner said: "It's better to let Boyong lead the Green Camp soldiers to guard.:::
,
Li Hongzhang was shocked and turned around and fisted: "The Empress Dowager thought twice! If Tianjin is lost, the hair on the sea will reach Chaoyang Gate in an instant!"
Zeng Guofan put on a thousand-layer cloth shoes: "How can it be that fast? Bo Yong is no longer good, he will stay for ten or eight days,
There are hundreds of miles from Tianjin to Beijing, and it can’t be completed in three or five days. In this half month, we and Hong Xiuquan,
Yang Xiuqing is divided into two major issues!”
He closed his dry palm and hugged Naralan's fist: "Empress Dowager, the old minister asks to transfer Tianjin Zhang Shusheng's unit to help the battle, and asks Boyong to lead his troops to station in Tianjin."
Naralan's eyes swept over a wooden box of yellow rosewood on the desk next to it, and inside it was the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-The Later Jin Treaty" one by one, "Concentrate all your efforts to fight Hong Yang!" She suddenly chuckled:
It's right! Bo Yong immediately took the Green Camp to replace Tianjin, and Zhang Shusheng's body returned to Beijing overnight. Li Shaoquan... \n...:" Her eyes were like a knife, "Your French cannon, don't lose to Yang Xiuqing's ragged cannon."
Yingtai, the autumn wind and autumn rain are sad.
The glazed tiles of Hanyuan Palace looked at the green light in the autumn rain, and Xianfeng was wrapped in bright yellow satin and was shrunk on the corner of the kang. An Dehai's hand holding the medicine bowl was trembling. He always felt the black Chinese medicine he brought from the Imperial Hospital.
There is the smell of frost inside.
"The Emperor...: "Zeng Jia Linshu suddenly pushed the door wet all over, and he knew it was swimming in the water. After the Yongding Gate that day, the nominal father of the Minister of the Guard and Zeng Guofan were not taken away by
If you make things difficult for someone to kill "father", you have to look at your son, even if this "father" is not true! So Zeng Jia and Linshu were just suspended from their posts and thought about it behind closed doors.
After Zeng Guofan entered the city, he not only did not deal with this "fake father", but instead went to Zeng Jia and Linshu's mansion to visit. Now the Virgin Queen Mother Naralaner didn't know how to touch Zeng Jia and Linshu anymore, so he gave it to him
The official has come to restore his post,
Go home to recuperate.
However, did Zeng Jia and Linshu have been the Minister of the Guards, and could speak to many Guards? Xianfeng was still the Supreme Emperor. His former concubines have returned to the Forbidden City now, and some loyalty to him.
The palace maid and eunuch, his life in Yingtai was much more comfortable than that of Guangxu.
During this period, Nalalan's mind was not about how to kill him, so he gradually relaxed his guardianship. Today, Zeng Jia and Linshu could sneak into Yingtai Island in the autumn wind and rain!
Xianfeng coughed hard a few times, then dipped a cigarette gun in medicine and wrote on the kang table: "Kill Li, seize the palace." He paused, and a resentful expression appeared on his sallow face, and then wrote:
"That slut wants to kill too!"
Zeng Jia and Linshu looked at An Dehai, and Xianfeng understood and waved his hand, and the latter immediately retreated.
Linshu whispered: "Emperor, Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing's army has been suppressed to Changyangdian. The Empress Dowager has ordered Zeng Guofan and Li Hongzhang to send troops to Wanping City and prepare to fight Changmao to the death..."
"Who guards Beijing...?" Xianfeng's eyes lit up, as if he saw hope again.
"Sushun!" Zeng Jia and Linshu spit out a name, "Although he has voted for the Empress Dowager, he is mostly thinking about the Emperor in his heart!"
Xianfeng took out a gold medal and handed it to Zeng Jialin. The gold medal was engraved with dragon patterns and four bright red characters, like my own arrival!
In the rain outside the window, a black shadow stood there. Only when Zeng Jia and Linshu left did they disappear quietly into the night.
Xianfeng suddenly sat upright, picked up the Chinese medicine on the table and drank it all, murmured, "The medicine from the Imperial Hospital is really curing diseases...\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.\n.Lan'er,
You are still not cruel enough!”
Hall of Care for Heart.
Naralan'er has lived with Zaichun in the Yangxin Hall these days, but outside the door were Zeng Jiumei and more than a dozen female soldiers from the Heavenly Kingdom who went north with Chen Bucheng!
At this moment, Xiao Zaichun was already asleep. In the West Warehouse, only the two sisters Lan'er and Wanzhen whispered in the sound of wind and rain.
I heard Naralan's use her nice Beijing film and said, "Wanzhen, take the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom-The Later Jin Treaty" and leave tomorrow...:::. Go to Tianjin, hide in the French Concession, wait
Luo Yaoguo arrived. The Treaty has already used seals and stamped them, which is officially valid. As for whether it can be fulfilled in the end, it can only be left to fate. All I can do now...::...You will follow Luo Yaoguo in the future
, remember to serve him well!"
"Sister," Wanzhen looked at her sister with tears in her eyes, "You go with me, take the emperor with you, and join the army of King Wu...::.\n. You and the emperor are useful to the King of Wu, he will definitely do it
Support the emperor to be the Queen Jin Khan."
Naralaner shook her head: "I can't leave...:::.Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan can let you go, but he will never let me leave Beijing City! I can only stay as much as possible and wait for King Luo Wu to come...
:::.He couldn't get through, so I could only take Zaichun, Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan away! We two sisters, I'm afraid we can only see each other again in the next life.::.:
131
Wanping City, Xianghuai Alliance Army Camp.
On a rainy night, Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang and Huang Shijie, master and apprentice, were wearing straw raincoats and hats, standing side by side on the city wall, looking at the firelights between Changxindian and Changyangdian in the west, like a sea of ​​stars.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom camp was built there. Looking at the size of the camp, there were only 100,000 elite soldiers but 80,000!
"Shaoquan," Zeng Guofan stroked his beard and looked into the distance, and suddenly asked, "Where do you want to go after this battle?"
"Shaanxi!" Li Hongzhang did not hide it from Zeng Guofan, "Shaanxi is a blessed land for my Li family! If it really doesn't work, I can continue to walk west..."
Zeng Guofan seemed to understand something, nodded, and asked again: "Ziying, where are you?"
Huang Shijie thought for a while and said, "Yungui...Teacher, how do you think I'm going to Yunnan and Guizhou?"
"Yungui?" Zeng Guofan looked at the student, "Do you want to be the King of Pingxi?"
Huang Shijie smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid King Pingxi can't be, but... the student may be the King of Burma!" He looked at Zeng Guofan again, "Teacher, where do you want to go?"
