Mingyue of the Song Dynasty http://www./0_1/                                                        

On this day, as usual, Guan Xuqing followed Cixi to court. Sitting in the Hall of Supreme Harmony, Cixi sat next to her. There were two rows of civil and military ministers standing in the hall.

The patriotic general in Hunan, 60 years old Zuo Zongtang moved forward one step, Guan Xuqing had seen him and was full of affection for him! After seeing him saluting Cixi, Gao

He said, "If I ask the Queen Mother."

"Sir Zuo, please say," said Cixi.

"I heard that Xinjiang has been very uneasy recently. The traitor Agubai hung the Turkish flag in Hotan, Shache, Aksu, Kuche and other places in Xinjiang and issued currency, showing signs of treason. In addition, Tsarist Russia also sent troops to Iri with the intention of dividing the northwest." Zuo Zongtang said calmly.

"Who is this Agubo?" said Cixi.

At this time, Weng Tongxiu stepped forward and said, "Huihou, this man is a general in the Central Asian country of Kokand, with great ambitions. As early as the third year of Tongzhi, he led his troops to invade Xinjiang and established a halal king regime in Urumqi, resulting in Tsarist Russia occupying our Yili."

"Li Hongzhang, why have you never mentioned such a big thing to me?" Cixi asked Li Hongzhang angrily.

Li Hongzhang walked out and said embarrassedly: "I think Xinjiang is outside the desert, with a vast desert, with a vast land of thousands of miles and a sparsely populated area. During the Qianlong period, he pacified Xinjiang and devoted the whole country to collect thousands of miles of open land and increased millions of expenses. He really gained and lost. According to me, Xinjiang is no longer there, and it is not harmful to the vitality of his body. If you take back Yili, you will inevitably go to war with Tsarist Russia, and it is better not to collect it."

Seeing Li Hongzhang so timid and concession, Zuo Zongtang couldn't help but get angry and stared at him indignantly, saying, "Mr. Li's words are very wrong! The mountains and south, the two routes are rich in grain production, fruits and fruits, cattle and sheep everywhere, and horses are herds in herds. The amount of coal, iron, gold, silver and jade is extremely rich. Sweat, blood, horses and beautiful jade in Hetian are both produced here. The so-called vast land is actually a basin of treasures. In addition, our dynasty has established the Yandu, Mongolia sanitation the north, and there has been no warning for beacons for decades... Therefore, Xinjiang protects Mongolia, and Mongolia protects the capital. If Xinjiang is not solid, Mongolia is unstable and Mongolia is unstable, the capital is in danger! If the troops are stopped at this time, I will retreat and the enemy advances. The Queen Mother, I think I will recover Xinjiang,

The Zero-level master http://www.77nt/19181/ is imperative. If we don’t shoot a single shot and give in to each other, wouldn’t we become a sinner of China!”

Cixi nodded.

Li Hongzhang retorted: "My current national strength of the Qing Dynasty is weak, and it can no longer withstand the war. Lord Zuo exclaimed, probably because he was warlike and greedy for merit!"

"I am already a person outside of the sixty years. How can I be greedy for me? I am the only one who thinks about my Qing Dynasty and my people." Zuo Zongtang laughed and stroked the long beard on his chest.

"Master Zuo defends the country and is worried about the people, and he is full of passion. Everyone in the court knows it." Weng Tongxiu stepped forward and replied.

Guan Xuqing saw it and admired Zuo Zongtang even more. But he was a little older and didn’t know how many years he could fight for himself. Alas, I didn’t expect that his teacher Weng Tongshu was quite right!

"Mr. Zuo is in the stable and has ambitions and aspirations are commendable." Cixi said appreciatively, "Mr. Zuo said it well, why should I give up my Qing Dynasty territory to others? Who is willing to go?"

Hey, I didn’t expect that this old witch was so upright! She was not giving in to the country and territory! But thinking about the history that Cixi dared to declare war directly with the Eight Kingdoms, it would be much easier to understand. This old witch had much better understanding of power and political skills than military affairs.

"The old minister is willing to be a pioneer." Zuo Zongtang replied loudly.

Cixi was both excited and worried when she heard this. She was excited that someone was willing to lead troops to fight and recover the country. She was worried that Zuo Zongtang was a stubborn person. Giving him too much military power would not do anything good for him.

"Mr. Zuo is old and the journey to Xinjiang is long. If you don't have food and accommodation, you have to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. I'm afraid..." Cixi thought for a while and said.

"The Empress Dowager doesn't have to worry too much. The old minister has been in the military life. Although Lian Po is old, he can still eat large pieces of meat and drink big bowls of wine. I think Zhuge Kongming was a weak scholar in the past, without the power of a chicken, and he can repel Cao Cao's millions of troops. He will have a strong general when he killed the enemy in the battle. I only need to be in charge of the central army's command." Zuo Zongtang said.

"Okay, Lord Zuo is full of patriotism. He is worthy of being a loyal hero of the Qing Dynasty. Zuo Zongtang, this palace has given you the imperial envoy. The Eight Banners of Mongolia and the Hunan Army are all under your control. Supervise Xinjiang military affairs." Cixi said excitedly.

"I obey the order."

Although Guan Xuqing didn't say a word, he was quite satisfied with the result. He was relieved by the Hunan Army. The Yongying Camp was also Dong Liang's troops. In this way, nearly 500,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty fell indirectly into his own. The rest were purely for decoration, and there was no actual combat power at all. Maintaining public security is OK. Fighting? It's far from that. Cixi took these troops with no practical use. Thinking of this, Guan Xuqing showed an undetectable smile.

That afternoon, Li Lianying came to Prince Han's mansion. The two of them started talking in the study. After a while, Prince Han said, "Eunuch Li, I heard that the emperor's illness has been cured?"

"Well, I was bound to die. I was saved by the eldest princess halfway." Li Lianying said.

"Isn't the Imperial Hospital a reliable person? Why..." Prince Han said excitedly.

"Hey, the little emperor's nanny, the one named Cuixi, is guarding him all day long. What medicine, water is the first to taste it. The old Buddha cares a lot, you think, who dares to touch the foot? The Imperial Hospital has already prescribed the prescriptions, and that little bastard will be cured by himself." Li Lianying said hatefully.

"I don't believe everything I want, I will not believe it at all." Prince Han said unwillingly.

"What? The prince is not in a hurry to wait?" Li Lianying glanced at him.
