Chapter 28: The road ahead is long

It was winter, and Ye Zhao stood in the inner courtyard of the Dutong Mansion, thinking about whether he could get a dirt heating. There was nothing else, but this radiator, I wonder if the iron thug in Foshan could be perfect and seamlessly connected.

The window in the dormitory was open, and Rong'er, dressed in a brocade cheongsam, was sitting at the table carefully copying the book. The little guy's handwriting was really everyone's style, which made Ye Zhao feel ashamed of himself.

When Ye Zhao saw her writing, he couldn't help but think of Grandma Jin. Since Grandma Jin fainted in Taihe and ordered Ruyi to send her back home, she didn't know whether it was a disguise or a very scary person. Every time she saw herself, she seemed to see a little sheep from a tiger. If it was true, it would be a bit depressing. Is she so cruel?

There has been no major incident in the past two months. The imperial edict from the capital of the "Hong Kong Island Incident" only encouraged Ye Mingchen to say a few words to him. It seems that the court has a lot of controversy over this matter, so there is no reward or punishment to observe the effect.

Of course, it was the new army's training and loan sharks. The first loan was released. The interest had been received. The nails and needles were pouring into Guangzhou City. I thought the comprador class would grow sharply. In Hong Kong, the gunpowder factory was ready to start production. I don't have a suitable factory manager candidate for the time being, so Green will take care of it first.

But Ye Zhao still had a stone in his heart. According to the Gregorian calendar, it was 1855. In history, the second Sino-British and French battle would break out in 1856. Now, hearing that Britain and France were going well in Crimea, the Crimea Battle might end earlier, and Britain and France would inevitably turn their attention to the East.

Perhaps in less than a year, the huge fleet of Britain and France will flood into the Chinese Sea, and the Qing Dynasty will suffer an unprecedented heavy blow, with Guangzhou city broken and the Old Summer Palace burning. Ye Zhao knew that he would not be able to avoid this war driven by the world trend, but he always had to make some changes so that the Qing Dynasty could get rid of the tragic situation of being a tragic person as the slaughter and me as the fish as soon as possible.

Moreover, the British and French coalition forces will surely ignite the war in Guangzhou. What should we do?

"Master, Rui Si is here." Zhaocai's crisp voice interrupted Ye Zhao's thoughts.

"Call him in!" Ruisi is one of the few male servants who can enter and exit the inner house. When he entered the yard, his face shone brightly, so that pride came because of it.

"Master, letters from outside the Pass!" Rui Si hit Qian and presented a letter sealed with a varnished seal with both hands. When Ye Zhao sent a letter to outside the Pass, he mentioned that the messenger who came to Guangzhou could hand over the letter to Rui Si.

Ye Zhao wrote a letter from outside the pass almost every ten days, so he knew it very clearly because of the situation outside the pass. After taking on several battles with the Rakshasa people, the Han Dynasty camp became famous outside the pass. The number of troupe heroes under its jurisdiction increased drastically, with two or three thousand people. There were many conflicts with Rakshasa and many battles head-on. However, the number of roupe heroes at the most was only four or five hundred. Both sides suffered damage in these tough battles, but the roupe braves had never suffered any major losses.

Ye Zhao nodded slightly, took it and tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, shook it open and took a look, and his face changed immediately.

The letter was a bit confused, and the person who wrote the letter was obviously uneasy. The letter was written by the old master. The words were written by the old master. The group of tutors was defeated recently, with heavy casualties. Perhaps because the Rakshasa ghost attacked Hailanpao with more than 2,000 people, Han Jinchun decided to fight, but the old master tried to persuade him but failed. In the end, Han Jinchun gathered more than 3,000 troops and more than 3,000 troops and more than 1,400 troops under the Hunchun Commander's Eight Banners Warriors fought fiercely east of Hailanpao. The Rakshasa ghost had a large squadron of artillery to help. In less than an hour, the Eight Banners soldiers were defeated, and the left wing of the regiment was completely exposed. Although the brave fought bloody battles, the casualties were severe. After persisting for half a day, they finally defeated. There were always six or seven hundred people killed and injured, and more than 1,400 people were lost. The remaining team was only half of them, and the firearms were even more serious. The small artillery team was wiped out.

The more Ye Zhao looked at it, the more he was, the more he was, and he finally gathered more than 3,000 brave men. Ye Zhao was even more concerned about this armed force than the new army. This was probably the family he started with, but after a battle, almost all the troops were wiped out and all the elites were lost. Ye Zhao's voice was bitter. Is the Rakshasa people really so difficult to deal with? Can history really change?

Han Jinchun cannot be blamed for this crushing defeat. As a soldier, he will fight for his own territory. What is wrong with defending the country and protecting his subjects? It is not wrong for the old master to disagree. He has read some of his own books and think he is more respectful of the preservation of his strength.

Ye Zhao looked down again, and the next sentence, "To protect the remaining troops from retreating, Han Gong led his own team to defend the left wing, and met the Rakshasa man with a short blade, and disappeared. If Han Gong had not stopped him, the entire army would be destroyed." Ye Zhao was stunned and Han Jinchun was killed in battle? Since the old master called Han Jinchun the Duke of Han, he believed that Han Jinchun had sacrificed his life for the country. Although he could not find the body, he was basically determined to be killed in battle.

Where did this start? Ye Zhao's mind was buzzing. After staying for a long time, the heroic and slightly reckless man died like this? He would never see him again?

Yes, he was the one who harmed him. If he had not ordered him to form an army outside the pass, he would not have confronted the Rakshasa people, nor would he die tragically at the hands of the Rakshasa people.

In this era, human life is really as light as an ant. Will the people around you eventually leave you one by one?

Ye Zhao suddenly felt a little confused and helpless, and the powerful and terrifying foreign enemies in front of them, he seemed so small alone and paved a path in vain. But, can he really change history? Can he keep the safety of his relatives around him?

Ye Zhao couldn't help but look at Rong'er, who was concentrating on copying at the dormitory window, but saw the little guy looking up and smiling at him. Ye Zhao's heart trembled. Can she make her happy for the rest of her life and not be bullied?

I always thought I could play in this chaotic world, but I didn’t know that something might be wrong. The thing I did was passed into Xianfeng’s ears and would cause a big disaster. Even if I didn’t implicate the prince, how tragic would Rong'er have to be expelled from the royal family?

What about the brave team outside the pass? So what if you can buy new weapons? How can you decide the world by just talking to yourself? The powerful polar bear once made Europe tremble. Do you really treat war as a game?

"Master, are you okay, Master?" Rui Si was startled when he saw Ye Zhao's pale face and hurriedly held Ye Zhao's arm gently.

"No, it's okay." Ye Zhao shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Go to the study."

More than ten days later, Ye Zhao handed over the memorial to the decisive battle between the fire-controlling camp and the Rakshasa people who wrote that he had written. The time had to be grasped. If he handed over the memorial too early, it would seem that he had a lot of contact with the outside of the memorial. Almost the news of the battle outside of the memorial reached the ears of officials such as Ye Mingchen and Fuchun, and it was time to submit the memorial.

In the memorial, Ye Zhao said, "Rakshasa is becoming more and more rampant, and good people are ravaged and threatened by them. In the Usuri Ula area, there is a deep fear that the troops are weak and cannot be blocked. Now that the new army has just begun to be established, you can go outside the pass to suppress the enemy. In the north, you can resist the land of the Longxing in the north. Later, you can go to the two rivers to suppress the bandits." He also said, "If the northern border is unstable, it may cause a long attack against the trend and become a problem for the armpit."

Xianfeng naturally practiced the firearm camp to wipe out the Taiping Army. If the clerk did not connect the northern border with the suppression of the bandits, he would probably disagree.

The Qing Dynasty, which had not yet experienced the second attack on Britain, France and the Western countries, is still the mainstream in the temple. He will not allow the Rakshasa people to occupy the land for nothing. You should know that outside the pass is a place of dragons and the back garden of the Qing Dynasty, how can outsiders be involved in it?

However, Ye Zhao was still worried that his memorial would be rejected, so he wrote an urgent letter to the prince, asking the prince to persuade the military aircraft in the capital to support his request for battle no matter what.

Ye Zhao couldn't help but think of Yipin. Now that he is pregnant with a dragon seed, his status is different. Xianfeng has no children. His eagerness to look forward to his son is known. Although Yipin has a boy or a girl, it will definitely attract people's attention when he is pregnant. Xianfeng's favor for her is different, but he just doesn't know how much weight her words are in Xianfeng's heart now.

A few days ago, Concubine Yi returned the letter to Rong'er and blamed Rong'er for saying "I don't know the importance of it", but at the end of the letter there was still a sentence "The young general of the country is a talented person, and the emperor has his own score."

It is hard to say that Yipin helped her. This smart woman judged the situation and was the first priority to please Xianfeng. Without violating this first taboo, she would still help her if she could help her. After all, her clan was her relative, and the more important Prince Zheng’s mansion was, the more beneficial it would be to her.

No matter whether you have a boy or a girl, if you have a family of great relatives outside the palace, she will improve her status in the palace.

If Xianfeng discussed the matter of the new army with her, I don’t know what she would say.

But even if the new army rushed to the outside of the pass, can this half-baked general and a group of half-baked rifle soldiers really change the situation outside the pass?

Ye Zhao didn't know, and he was unsure. He only knew that if the new army did not go outside the pass, the development of history would not change at all. The Rakshasa people still stole the land of several provinces outside the pass. A year later, the British and French allied forces attacked Guangzhou. I was afraid that the new army, which relied solely on fighting pirates to train the team, would be destroyed in a blink of an eye, and became the earliest cannon fodder in the Second Sino-British-French War. All his efforts would be wasted. The best result was that before the Sino-British-French war broke out, the new army was transferred to the two rivers to wipe out the bandits. Although he had no good feelings for the Taiping Army, he would fight to the death now. The timing was wrong. If he lost, the new army was wiped out and he was withdrawn, and it would be difficult to make a comeback. If he won, what would be the benefit of destroying the Taiping Army early?
