XXXVIII. King Qin of the Southern Army

"It was the queen who asked her subordinates," Wu Yundi saw that there was no one left and right, so he whispered.

"The queen is going to let these people go?" Monk Lingqin's right hand, which was originally twisted in his beard, paused.

"The queen mother didn't mean this, the queen mother let the mark come down to tell the monk king, the ministers of Britain and France and other countries are the dignity of this country, although it is caught now, it is better to be tolerant, so as not to be bad in the future Wu Yundi said.

"It's not good in the future, it's not good now" Monk Greenqin slapped the table angrily, "Take the Pasha ceremony, it's difficult to ride a tiger, you can't let it go, you can't kill it, I don't know if you can stop the British and French forces!" I don't know who came up with the idea. ”

"I thought I could, but the queen said that I couldn't, when I left Beijing, my mother asked me to tell me, saying that diplomatic envoys should not be insulted, Britain and France will inevitably use this matter as an excuse to raise troops again, and when the time comes, if Gyeonggi is lost, it will be the responsibility of this matter!"

Monk Lingqin was frightened and frightened, almost stood up, and forced himself to sit on the Taishi's chair, "What does the mother's words mean that the old man will become a scapegoat?" ”

"Yes, if there is disharmony in the war in the future, and the foreigners are unwilling to give up, they can only throw out a person of sufficient weight to atone for their crimes, when the time comes, who will be the center? Who will Tongzhou be? Wu Yundi was in front of the repeater, and his originally disapproving expression became more and more solemn, and he seemed to understand something, "So now that I have arrested Pa Xiali and other people, in terms of personality, it is better to be more generous, and leave a line in everything." See you in the future. ”

"There is still some truth in this," Monk Lingqin nodded, "According to what I mean, it will be cut with a knife, and it will also let me out the evil anger of Dagukou, and it will be okay, and I will get it back from the battlefield in the future." ”

"That's exactly what it means, the military and the government are not the same, Pashali is just a quick-tongued villain, if it weren't for the strong British and French, the first one would be the head." Wu Yundi said. After finishing the business, Wu Yundi was a little embarrassed, "The mark is scheduled to get married on September 20, and I don't know if the monk can mark this face at that time." Come and have a glass of water wine. ”

Monk Grinqin smiled. "You kid." stood up and patted Wu Yundi on the shoulder, "The first time I went south to suppress rebellion, you were still a hairy boy who didn't know anything." Now that he has reached the age of marriage, hey, time flies really fast, and in a blink of an eye, the old man will be old. Don't worry, when the time comes, this king will be free, and he will definitely come, but if the war here is entangled, I'm afraid it won't be empty. The old man's gift will come. ”

"Thank you, Dashuai," Wu Yundi shouted, didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he hesitated and asked, "Dashuai, do you think Tongzhou can be defended?" ”

Monk Greenqin's shoulders trembled, stared at Wu Yundi, turned around, and no longer distracted from the Qinchaguan on the case, "The old man has been on an errand in the Eight Banners since the time of Daoguang Ye, and at that time, he didn't attack the lord, just a big-headed soldier, and it was good to come to the Eight Banners with a few Eight Banners outside the mouth, and the Eight Banners of the Manchu and Han Dynasty had long been rotten in the roots, and now although he took advantage of the southward attack and sent rebellion, he practiced a lot of soldiers, but it was also customary to make the downwind knife technique, if the enemy was strong, it would not be cheap," Monk Greenqin's thick back hunched down," Tianjin Dagu mouth is like this, seeing that the foreigners' firearms are powerful, the courage is broken, the courage is broken, how can it be kept. Tongzhou, I'm afraid it can't be defended, and even if it does, it can't block the way for foreigners to enter Beijing. ”

"However," Monk Green turned around in the twilight, his eyes blazing, staring at Wu Yundi, "Even if you can't keep it, Lao Tzu has to keep it!" If I can't do anything, I will retreat, the world is so big, where should I retreat! Dagukou Tianjin has been lost, if Tongzhou is lost again, even if the emperor does not punish him, Lao Tzu will not spare himself! ”

Wuxi.

"Lord Commander, someone came from Beijing, saying that there is something important to tell your lordship!"

"Oh?" Originally, Wu Changqing, Zhang Shusheng and others pointed around the sand table and pointed at Li Hongzhang and turned around, the pro-soldiers on the ground, in the past two or three years, Li Hongzhang's upper lip has a short beard, which looks extremely capable, Li Hongzhang raised his eyebrows, "Do you know who sent it?" ”

"The man who came refused to speak, but searched his body, and there was nothing but a letter and a few pieces of silver."

"It can't be a ghost idea that Suzhou came up with, right?" Zhang Shusheng said that in recent days, the regimental training led by Li Hongzhang has been very urgent to attack Suzhou day and night, and Li Xiucheng in Suzhou has broken through several times, but all of them have returned in vain, so Zhang Shusheng has this question.

"It must be okay, it's just a letter, bring it with you," Li Hongzhang thought slightly, waved his hand and asked his own soldiers to lead people, turned his head and said to Wu Changqing Zhang Shusheng and smiled: "I guess it was a letter brought by my father, the two brothers discussed it first, and I will take a look first." ”

"Your Excellency, please."

Li Hongzhang turned the tent behind him, and saw a young man sitting in it, Li Hongzhang originally thought he was a lieutenant, but looked at it, this young man did not have the humility of a eunuch, but looked like a young man from a good family. ”

"I don't know where it came from?" Li Hongzhang asked.

"Adults know the clue as soon as they go, and the small ones are a little tired, but they want to find a place to rest." The young man smiled and handed Li Hongzhang a letter and wanted to leave.

"This official asked the soldiers to take you to wash up," Li Hongzhang nodded, took the letter handed by the young man, changed his color, stared at the young man and said, "Are you from the palace?" ”

"Exactly, the little one." The young man nodded slightly, turned to leave, Li Hongzhang took a deep breath, opened the letter, the contents, and gasped, "This, what does this mean!" ”

Zeng Guofan put down the holy decree, frowned, and said to Zeng Guoquan, who was sitting at the bottom, "This will is not easy to do." ”

Zeng Guoquan has a half-inch-long scar on his right cheek, which was injured by a stray arrow when he personally attacked Taiping Pass, bright red and shocking, Zeng Guoquan smiled, but it involved the wound again, and grinned, "This will is difficult to do, what do you mean, if you want to be loyal to the Lord, you will naturally lead the army to the north, throw away this mess in Jiangnan, and don't care where he Hong Xiuquan goes," Zeng Guofan frowned, "If you want to do a good job in this Jiangnan errand, I'm afraid it's better not to offend foreigners, You must know that Li Hongzhang in Suzhou, as well as Rong Lu's musket team, are all equipped by foreigners, not to mention the cannon that broke through the Taiping Pass a few days ago, Li Xiucheng of Suzhou wanted to attack Shanghai several times, but was defeated by Shanghai's Changsheng army, and part of the military strength was also contained here.
