At the beginning of September, Li Hongzhang wrote to Zeng Guofan, noting the matter of going north, Zeng Guofan scolded angrily: "Shaft! But there was nothing to do, so he could only send an order to Wang Jinxiu, who was in Yixing, to lead troops to Wuxi to replace the vacancy left by Li Hongzhang, and the original plan to clear the Taiping army around Jintan in Liyang was forced to be suspended.

"Lord Futai, I'm afraid Governor Zeng is extremely angry now," Zhang Shusheng Hongzhang wrote the official document and stamped it with the purple seal of the governor of Jiangsu, and said worriedly.

"It's okay," Li Hongzhang blew the ink, "Although the Governor and I have a teacher-student friendship, we are not family members in the end," Li Hongzhang sneered slightly, "Put me in Suzhou, and I will know that this war of extermination and rebellion will be nothing else to do if I throw Li Xiucheng to me!" The marshal must first focus on Zeng Laojiu, in this battle to destroy the country, I am afraid that it will not be my turn. ”

"Could it be that the one who broke the Jinling is the king?" Zhang Shusheng hurriedly asked.

"Naturally, such a great feat, this official will inevitably not be able to touch the walls of Jiangling City, except for the three feudatories, there is no Han king in the dynasty, I estimate that it is subtracted by one grade, and it is not a problem to be crowned a first-class duke. As long as Hong Xiuquan doesn't want to get out of his little paradise, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng have the ability to reach the sky, and they can't make big waves. Instead of doing chores here, it's better to go north and give it a go, I'm still young, it's a big deal to make a comeback. Li Hongzhang said lightly, "Brother Zhang, you asked someone to properly prepare artillery ammunition, these are good things we are good at." ”

"Wow."

Xingzhen took a few folds and smiled at the emperor, "The emperor is blessed with all the heavens, the generals in the south heard the will of King Qin, and they went north, although Zeng Guofan himself could not leave Wuhu, in the end he sent Li Hongzhang's Huaijun Township to the north to support, the excerpt said that he first went north along the Grand Canal, and then changed the land route to Shandong, and the elite cavalry under Wang Jinxiu was also sent. ”

The emperor calmly put the book in his place, "It's okay if you don't come," the empress, who looked up in confusion, smiled casually, and put down the book in her hand, "Pashali has already been captured, presumably Britain and France are jealous of the mouse, and they dare not send troops again." ”

Xingzhen was silent, and said for a while: "In the end, if you are prepared, there are some male soldiers in your hands, so you will naturally be more stable, not to mention that loyal ministers who dare to do things are rare, this time to go north, if the emperor can meet Li Hongzhang and others, it will naturally be inspiring." ”

Xianfeng nodded, "What you said is extremely true, you." Fu picked up the book again, "Where can the monk king come to report?" Can foreigners move? ”

"There has been no report yet," Xingzhen shook her head, "The army of foreigners is still in Tianjin, if you want to play the kings of Britain and France, it will take a certain amount of time, and the concubine has already approved the monk king's invitation to be an excerpt, so that he can take strict precautions." ”

"That's the reason," at this moment, Ruyi presented a silver bowl, Xingzhen nose spirit, smelled the smell of blood inside, and knew that it was the deer blood that the emperor had used a lot in recent days, so he was blessed, "The concubine still has something to take care of outside, and she retired." ”

"You go," the emperor picked up the silver bowl and nodded, "The sixth palace can't leave the queen for a while, originally I thought that it would be easier to enter and exit in the garden, if you have to be free, it will be cheaper to go back to your mother's house and save your relatives." ”

"The concubine is grateful," Xingzhen said with a smile, "The emperor has a will, even if the concubine is busy, she has to go home, it just so happens that Wu Yundi and Fan'er are close to the happy event - the concubine has always regarded Fan'er as her own sister, and now that the emperor has spoken, the concubine has the shame to ask her to go out of the garden and go home to take a look." ”

"You set your own day," the Emperor said with a faint smile, "and I'll be done with a word, and it's okay not to spend the night outside, all day." ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Brother An, it's been more than ten days since we left Beijing," the family from the Cheng'en Mansion said to An Dehai, "Is it slower to go back, or is it the same as when you came?" At this time, the group just crossed the Yangtze River, and the Yangtze River is already the territory of officers and soldiers, Peng Yulin's Hunan Army Naval Division Hu Linyi's Hubei Naval Division was rampant on the river outside Tianjing City, and An Dehai and others successfully passed Guazhoudu.

An Dehai shook his head, "It must not be possible to go back slowly, since my errand in the south has been done, the master must be in a hurry to wait for the reply, it can't be slow, it can only be fast, but recently the canal from Jiangsu to Shandong is still smooth, and the south wind is blowing now, let's call the official ship, and then give more money to the slender sailors for hard work, smooth sailing, it must be very fast, the big guy is on the boat to take care of the gods, brother here has enough silver, meat and vegetables are enough, afraid of mistakes, the wine will be exempted first, to Beijing brother I will invite again, to the ground in Shandong, The Yellow River is flooding over there, let's change horses, don't care about anything else, take the official road, it must still work, how about it? ”

"Brother Ann is sympathetic to us, what else is there to say, brothers hurry up!" (To be continued......)
