After listening to Li Zhen's analysis, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Peng Yulin and others felt that it was indeed reasonable. Zuo Zongtang led his army northward and would definitely contain most of Yi's troops, and Li Zhen would be relaxed in Heilongjiang. Many of them will not be under too much pressure and can deal with the Russians more easily. Moreover, once Li Zhen makes a breakthrough in the north and turns back to attack Beijing, he can go straight to Huanglong and attack Yi's henchmen.
In addition, Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang sent troops at the same time, and the three armies surrounded him, and the goal of annihilating Yi was achieved.
At the same time, the people present were also shocked by Li Zhen's mention of conquering the country.
The Qing Dynasty is still in power, and the Aixinjueluo family rules the world. However, Li Zhen has already said that he is conquering the country, which is clearly alluding to replacing the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He revealed his thoughts. For a moment, there was a hint of excitement in the hearts of some people present. Even Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang didn't think it was inappropriate. The main reason was that they followed Li Zhen out for a while, saw the envoys outside, and had a deeper understanding of Li Zhen's ability.
Therefore, Zeng Guofan and Zuo Zongtang followed Li Zhen sincerely, otherwise they would not have supported Li Zhen.
Seeing that no one objected, Li Zhen felt happy and asked, "Do you have any objections?"
Wang Xiaoyang asked: "My lord, you are going to the north. Besides Peng Yulin, who else is going with you?"
Li Zhen glanced at the people present, pondered for a moment, and said: "In addition to Peng Yulin, I will also take Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan, as well as some soldiers from the Jiandao Battalion. The rest of the soldiers will not go. If there are too many people, we will not go." In this regard, having elites is enough.”
Zhao Liewen became anxious and asked, "Your Majesty, where am I?"
Li Zhen said: "You are going to Nanjing to assist Huang Shihai in stabilizing the situation in Nanjing. The war is about to break out, and stability must be achieved both internally and externally. I am sure there will be people from Yi everywhere to incite rebellion, and the Queen Mothers of the two palaces may also be restless. , even some courtiers will have other ideas. After you go, do it boldly. Huang Shihai is in charge of military affairs. There are more political affairs that need to be handled by you, so don't take them into consideration."
"yes."
Zhao Liewen nodded in agreement and said no more.
Wang Xiaoyang thought that Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan would follow Li Zhen. With the martial arts of Yang Luchan and Dong Haichuan, Li Zhen's safety could be guaranteed, so he did not say anything.
Li Zhen looked at everyone and said: "Everyone has no objections. Go down and prepare. Commander Zuo and Commander Zeng will prepare the army as soon as possible and go to the front line to fight. Zhou Xiuying, Zhao Liewen and Wang Xiaoyang will stay."
"yes."
After everyone left, Li Zhen's eyes fell on Zhao Liewen.
He stared at Zhao Liewen but didn't speak.
Zhao Liewen thought of the previous events, had a vague guess in his heart, and became more respectful.
After a while, Li Zhen said: "Mr. Zhao, before you, the people who were with me were Ye Chengzhong, Zheng Zaoru and Liu Taiping. Now, Ye Chengzhong serves as the magistrate of Wuzhou Prefecture in Guangxi, and Liu Taiping serves as the governor of Guangxi. And Zheng Zaoru also serves as the governor of Taiwan, so the three of them have a bright future. When you come here, you may not be able to go out, or even have a low reputation. Can you accept it?"
When Li Zhen said this, Zhao Liewen was even more convinced.
Zhao Liewen said without hesitation: "I am willing to die for the prince."
A simple sentence has already expressed Zhao Liewen's attitude.
Li Zhen nodded and said: "Okay, since you are willing, next, you will set up the National Security Bureau, whose full name is the National Security Bureau. You will serve as the director and will be directly responsible to me. Currently, you are responsible for monitoring officials across the country, and it will gradually expand in the future. Right to become the real National Security Bureau. Now, after you go to Nanjing, you will use Nanjing as a point, gradually expand the scope, picket officials, anyone who is corrupt and has connections with Beiyi, and even people with connections with Shidakai, Sichuan , they will all be investigated and punished.”
"yes."
Zhao Liewen perked up and answered immediately.
Although this position is only responsible to Li Zhen and is not an official position, the power is not small. When Wang Xiaoyang and Zhou Xiuying looked at Zhao Liewen, there was a hint of horror in their eyes. From now on, Zhao Liewen will definitely be under Li Zhen's command. The core character will make countless people feel afraid.
Zhao Liewen said goodbye to Li Zhen, and Li Zhen took Wang Xiaoyang and Zhou Xiuying back to the backyard.
A family, sitting together.
Li Zhen, his wife and children at home, plus Wang Xiaoyang, Li Xiaotong and others all gathered together. At the dinner table, Wang Xiaoyang said: "Hongyi, when you go to the north, you must pay attention to safety. Your sister, your children, your wife, and even me will all be safe." I need you."
Li Xiaotong immediately asked: "Brother, what are you doing in the north?"
Li Zhen glared at Wang Xiaoyang and said with a smile: "Sister, it's nothing, but we have to fight again. Yi declared war on me, and Shi Dakai also declared war at the same time, so I want to lead my troops north to attack Yi. This is a normal thing, no need to Worry."
Wang Xiaoyang was stunned for a moment, then returned to normal.
He was really convinced by Li Zhen, but he didn't expect that Li Zhen would turn the matter of going north to Heilongjiang into leading troops north to fight.
Zhou Xiuying knew the details but did not reveal them.
Li Zhen smiled slightly and said, "Okay, it's rare for our families to get together. Instead of talking about national affairs, we talk about family affairs." As soon as he said this, he received an immediate response, and Li Xiaotong did not continue to ask, keeping his heart in mind. With doubts in his mind, he felt that things might not be that simple.
The family sat together, talked, talked about common things like children, and had a great time.
Time passed very quickly, and it was already evening in a blink of an eye.
Li Xiaotong glanced at Zhilan, Zhou Xiuying, Gu Lina and others, with a smile on his face, and said: "It is rare for my brother to return to Guangzhou, and he will soon lead his troops to the north. It is estimated that it will take another year and a half. It's time. After I go, I don't know if I will come back in the year of the monkey. You all have a good time together. Your brother-in-law and I will go back first." After speaking, Li Xiaotong stood up, took his child Wang Ping'an with him, and signaled Wang Xiaoyang to leave with his eyes.
Wang Xiaoyang understood the meaning and joked: "Hongyi, go to bed early at night so as not to be unable to get up tomorrow."
Li Zhen chuckled and said calmly: "Brother-in-law, don't worry, I'm in good health." Li Zhen was thick-skinned, while Zhi Lan, Gu Lina, Alice and others all had cheeks burning and looked shy. .
"Mother, second mother, third mother, why are you all blushing? Are you feeling unwell?"
Suddenly, a sweet voice came.
The voice is childish, but very pleasant to the ear.
The person who spoke was Li Zhen's eldest daughter Li Chongxuan. She opened her big eyes, with a curious light shining in her dark eyes. She put her fleshy little hands on Zhilan's face, feeling that Zhilan's face was slightly hot. , very strange.
When Zhilan, Gu Lina and others heard this, they were all very shy. It was really embarrassing for the children to find out the abnormality.
