"Hard", needless to say, the combat power of the Xuan Army, whether it is the "Hunan Department" or the "Zeng Department", I think that I can't do it; "Soft", Guan Zhuofan mainly did his kung fu on Zeng Guofan's father and son. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info updates the fastest

In the past few years, Guan Zhuofan has continued to pretend to Zeng Guofan's phase with Zeng's father and son, and has continued to rise, during which he has come from behind, surpassed Zhu Fengbiao, and finally became the first assistant; Zeng Jize, first humble and generous, Luo Zhizhong, presided over the Cantonese dialect museum, and then "broke the law", entrusted with the important task of envoy to the United Kingdom, Zeng Gang was both shallow and young, but in one day, he became an out-and-out important minister of the state, and it was really called the government and the opposition.

As for whenever he meets Zeng Guofan, Guan Zhuofan must have exceptional courtesy, as well as various "life care", such as finding foreign doctors, treating eye diseases, and wearing glasses for him, not to mention.

Because of the face of the old handsome, the "Zeng Department" was dissatisfied, and had to swallow it in his stomach temporarily.

In addition, Guan Zhuofan's method can be regarded as boiling frogs in warm water, from the outside to the inside, from far to near, from the branches to the stems, not impatient, step by step, and has never touched Jiangning, the core of the "Zeng Department". Zhao Jingxian obviously acted as the governor of Liangjiang, but he did not go to Jiangning to take up his post, and always wandered around Shanghai and Yangzhou, which is quite a bit of "can't afford to hide".

Although Zhao Jingxian sat in Yangzhou and rectified the two Huai salt affairs, it was actually another form of weakening of the Hunan forces, but after all, the two sides were not considered to be on the tip of the needle, and the conflict of contradictions would not reach the level of a big explosion.

But Zhao Jingxian can't keep going to Jiangning for the rest of his job, and the rectification of the two Huai salt affairs has come to an end; The rectification of public order in Jiangning must be put on the agenda, otherwise, if it drags on any longer, Jiangning, a land where humanities and economy flourish, will really become a place outside the law and a place of separation.

However, if you follow the story of Ma Xinyi, you will not follow the mistake of the "stabbing horse case"!

What can I do?

Public order in Jiangning must be thoroughly rectified, Zhao Jingxian's personal safety must be fully guaranteed, and more importantly, Guan Zhuofan must take advantage of Zhao Jingxian's real dismissal of Jiang Governor and his appointment as Jiangning's head to uproot the last and most important "base area" of the "Hunan system" on the premise of not causing major waves, so as to completely remove the obstacle to the unification of the administrative decree throughout China.

Can it be done?

Well, it's time for the fire! Here's your chance!

When the time comes, there are three:

First, the empress dowager of the two palaces withdrew the curtain, Emperor Hongxu practiced Zuo, and Guan Zhuofan officially monopolized the central power.

Second, the expansion of the Xuan Army has been completed, and it has taken the opportunity of preparing for war against France to redeploy, and has formed a better strategic posture for external offensive and defensive and internal control. At the same time, the reorganization of the green battalions in all provinces is under the management of the Xuan Army, and at present, except for a few remote provinces, the vast majority of the rest have been preliminarily completed.

Correspondingly, the Hunan army, the Huai army and other miscellaneous armies, the top ten, have all been abolished.

Guan Zhuofan has achieved absolute control over China's military power.

Third, the recovery of Xinjiang has brought Guan Zhuofan's prestige to a new height, both at home and abroad.

Before the use of troops in Xinjiang, there was not no controversy within the imperial court, although it did not reach the level of the original time and space "blockade defense" and "coastal defense" disputes, but there were actually quite a few people who opposed it openly and covertly.

Some people say that Xinjiang "when there is nothing to do, the annual military expenses are still in the millions, and it is worthless to collect thousands of miles of open land, and it is worthless to increase the leakage of thousands of years." That is to say, Xinjiang has taken it back, and it is also a "leakage" of money-losing goods, and the cost of maintaining Xinjiang is far greater than the benefits that can be obtained from Xinjiang.

Not only that, but in the case of "there are non-self races inside, and strong neighbors outside", "even if you try to recover, you will never be able to keep it for a long time in the future", so why bother "going out of the jam for thousands of miles and wasting countless times"?

Moreover, "Xinjiang is not my heart, and the vitality of the limbs will not be harmed", therefore, "can you secretly instruct the commanders of the Western Road, but strictly abide by the existing borders, and cultivate the land, and do not need to rush to forge ahead?" ”

In addition, "the armies that have already been withdrawn and those that have not yet been withdrawn seem to need to be slightly reduced, and if they can be withdrawn, they will be withdrawn, and if they can be stopped, they will be stopped. ”

Those who hold the above arguments do not necessarily really think that "Xinjiang is poor for thousands of miles, and what good is it to gain", but almost every one of them thinks that Xinjiang is too far away and this battle is difficult to fight!

How much effort did it take for Gaozong to level and return? That was still the heyday of the Qing Dynasty! Moreover, to tell the truth, leveling, leveling, and finally reaping the merits also have a little element of luck, and there are twists and turns, and the officers and soldiers have suffered big losses more than once, and there are even times when the whole army is almost wiped out!

The Qianlong Dynasty has a thick family background and can withstand tosses, and there are no people around who really dare to fish in troubled waters; It's not the same now, the country has just recovered, and it's not good to compare with the prosperous era of Qianlong, looking at the surroundings, it is even more surrounded by strong neighbors, especially that Russia, the wolf's ambition is not limited to one day!

Bottom line: I can't afford to lose.

Also, regardless of whether you win or lose, just because the war is delayed, you can't stand the bitter cold in Xinjiang, and if you lose thousands of miles, how many times will the military expenditure be as much as that of the mainland? After a long time, the national finances will inevitably be unbearable; At the same time, it will inevitably give Russia and its ilk an excuse to interfere.

However, it is not easy to express doubts about the combat power and logistics of the Western Expeditionary Army, and the main force of the Western Expeditionary Army is the Xuan Army's Zhandonglu Division; The logistics were personally raised by Prince Xuan, so he had to desperately belittle the strategic value of Xinjiang, hoping that the imperial court would think twice about it.

There are many people who believe that "this battle is difficult to fight" not only at home but also internationally, and there are quite a few people who are pessimistic about the Chinese government's recovery of Xinjiang, and the most "pessimistic" among them are the Russians. The general belief in Moscow is that "the day when the Chinese government will recover Xinjiang will never come," and this is the most important reason why Russia is secretly actively supporting Aguba.

Who would have thought that in just one year, a huge Xinjiang would be taken down cleanly?

At home, the original doubts have been swept away, and they have been replaced by one-sided praise of merit; Internationally, the "re-understanding" of the Chinese government and the squadron is fermenting this, and it will be expressed later.

In short, Prince Xuan's prestige is in full swing.

The above is called "heat".

What about the chances?

Naturally, it refers to Huang Yisheng and Zhang Ping'an colluding with Li Shizhong's remnants, and there is a plan to be unscrupulous.

Although, Guan Zhuofan said to Zeng Guofan, "After the 'Four King Kongs' confessed Zhang Ping'an's name, I sent a telegram to Zhao Zhusheng, this case, this is over, don't investigate it anymore", but in fact, this case was brought forward by the Lianghuai Yan Political Yamen on the table, but in fact, it was sponsored by the Military Coordination Office, saying that "don't investigate any further", but the evidence that should be mastered is the same, and nothing has been delayed, the only difference is that this evidence is taken out or not? And when will it be taken out?

In a word, "lead but not provoke".

At this level, Zeng Guofan himself may not be aware of it.
