43. Review of the Three Armed Forces (9)
"Hahaha, Youdan, what you said is very true, this fattest person hasn't spoken yet, so why should I worry? The Chu army is not as big as the Hunan army's great cause, and besides, I Zuo Zongtang doesn't want to be the king of Pingnan, why do I have so many soldiers in my hands," Zuo Zongtang smiled heartily, "If the queen mother wants it, then it will be offered." [Top] [point] The novel W.23x.cOm handed over to the monk king to manage, naturally I can't be wrong, I see that Wu Yundi is also a young hero, naturally he won't bury my Chu army, besides, if the Chu army takes the title of the first army in the world, those eight banners of waste, do you still want to manage the Chu army? Hahahaha. ”
"If the Queen Mother wants to ......," Zeng Guofan paced back and forth in the post station in Tongzhou, "then I have no choice but to offer it." ”
"Dashuai," Liu Rong, the staff master on the side, persuaded, "I'm afraid it's not this time yet." ”
Zeng Guofan shook his head, "This matter is already clear, the Queen Mother has not allowed the Hunan army to be dismantled, and the old nine are not allowed to take a sick leave, this posture I was already frightened, I am afraid that the Queen Mother will not even give me the dignity of retreating, now there is such a rumor coming out, I put my heart back in my stomach, the move of dismantling the Hunan army back then, I am also helpless, it is really rumored that there are too many people who rebelled against me, in order to prove my innocence, I have to make this decision, now if the Queen Mother can treat the Hunan army well, I will hand over the military power, It would be the best thing to let these Xiangxiang children get proper arrangements. ”
"Yes," Liu Rong continued to ask, "Marshal, forgive my subordinates for saying some rebellious words, but what if the Queen Mother saved her knives and guns in the warehouse, what does it mean to kill people with knives?" ”
"That old man naturally doesn't allow this," Zeng Guofan restored the domineering of the head of the governor, "The old man, as the governor of Liangjiang, is in Beijing, in front of the Queen Mother, and in the military aircraft, he is not speechless!" ”……
The Military Aircraft Department and the Ministry of War set the day of the drill on the ninth day of November, on this day, Prince Gong and others got up early, the sky was still numb, and they were waiting in front of the palace gate of the Old Summer Palace. ”
"Huh."
After half a cup of tea, the palace sounded the sound of drums, two sedan chairs were lifted out in turn, Prince Gong bowed, and the rest of the ministers all knelt down. ”
"Huh," Prince Gong responded, and the generals who commanded the military camp were orderly and unfolded, and as soon as the gong sounded, the queen mother and the emperor's car set off for Fengtai.
Prince Gong Wu has already set off, got into his car, at this time Cao Yuying was already waiting in the car, Prince Gong closed his eyes and recuperated, as soon as someone came to ask for instructions, Cao Yuying replied one by one, after a while, Prince Gong opened his eyes and asked: "Have the envoys of various countries arrived?" ”
"It's all here, but the Russian ambassador is very resentful, and he is haunted by what happened last time, I talked about it for a long time, and I mentioned it a little bit for a while, and then I lured him to come." Cao Yuying said, "The envoys of the vassal states have also arrived. ”
"Well, this is the first time that an envoy and the Empress Dowager have met, and there can be no Russians, if there are few, this matter will not be satisfactory," Prince Gong did not feel displeased at all that he could not interfere in the matter of the exercise, "Take advantage of this matter to let the envoys meet the emperor, so as not to say that we China do not respect foreign countries, and even the emperor refuses to meet the ambassadors." ”
"That's it." Cao Yuying and Prince Gong discussed the matter of the revocation of the Li Jin by the Ministry of Households, and Prince Gong shook his head, "The matter of the Li Jin, I'm afraid it can't be withdrawn, this is originally to make money, if it is withdrawn, what will I use to buy warships and artillery to do foreign affairs?" ”
"But the local officials are full of complaints, they can't share the sweetness, the gentry under the rule are very dissatisfied, so they want to make a fuss, and if they are like the governor, they get very little to preside over it, but the provinces have been pumped for nothing, which is naturally unwilling, when the rebellion was raging, relying on the gold to run the group training, and now there is no rebellion, they naturally have a lot of gossip, and they don't hide it from the prince, and the township party here is a daily allocation."
"These people, hehe," Prince Gong shook his head disdainfully, although he was a nobleman and didn't care much about the matter of money, but this was related to his own major policies, how could he let them mess around, "I'm used to living a comfortable life, but I'm getting up." Don't pay attention to it, I told the Queen Mother what I meant, and she also had the same meaning with me, the gold must not be abolished, second, the governor doesn't like it, then don't give it to the place, just accept it, anyway, there will be no group training in various places in the future, and you have to receive it from the center. ”
"Oh?" Cao Yuying asked curiously, "But now there are a lot of suspicions in the various regimental exercises, and I have heard constant disputes in the Fengtai camp all day long, even if I accept the regimental exercises, I am afraid that I will not be able to use them, right?"
