Guan Zhuofan brought a group of officials, full sets of official uniforms, and stood solemnly outside the gate of the Yamen of the Domain, and finally waited for Xu Geng's sedan chair.

Although it was an old man who met each other, but a large number of subordinate officials were on the side, it was inconvenient for the two of them to be too affectionate, and Xu Geng was the identity of the Qincha, so they could only meet each other according to etiquette, and then say a few words of greeting, please go to the side hall, and be accompanied by a few people to use tea and say some inconsequential gossip. Only then did I know that the imperial court had two ways to proclaim the decree, both of which went south by boat from Tianjin, all the way to Jiangning, and the other way was Xu Gengshen, who came to Shanghai.

After a while, Zhao Jingxian came to invite him, saying that everyone had arrived. So the group hugged Xu Geng into the flower hall, and knelt down to receive the holy decree. After inviting Sheng'an, I watched Xu Gengshen pick up an edict from the tray held by his attendant, and first glanced at Xiangxia for a round before reading.

"Today, we received 600 miles from Guan Zhuofan and Zeng Guofan to step up the report, recover the details of Jiangning's conquest, rebel against the head, annihilate all the thief parties, and capture Hong Fuyao, Li Xiucheng and other rebel chieftains, I am really happy with the subjects of the world!"

This is the hat, followed by a long quote from the battle report in the original recital, which is also a cutscene. Guan Zhuofan knows that the following is the drama meat.

"Co-organizer of the university, Liangjiang Governor Zeng Guofan, since Xianfeng three years in Hunan first initiated group training, founded the boat division, and Taqibu, Luo Songnan and other repeatedly made meritorious deeds, recovered Wuhan Zhucheng, purged the whole territory of Jiangxi. Since the Eastern Expedition, from the Susongke Qianshan, stationed in Qimen, the counties of Huizhou have been restored, and then the provincial capital of Anqing has been taken as the foundation, and the soldiers of the water and land have been divided, and the Xiajiang River has been restored. Fortunately, it was done, and the minister had no last resort. Courage and courage. To use a man according to his ability. Scheduling benefits. Zeng Guofan rewarded the crown prince with the title of Taibao, Xifeng first-class Yiyong Marquis, hereditary replacement, and rewarded with dazzling eyes! ”

Guan Zhuofan smiled in his heart: Zeng Guofan also has a pair of dazzling eyes, which is still a little later than himself. However, Zeng Guofan is a civil servant, and it is especially difficult to get this lingzi, unlike himself who took advantage of the status of the imperial guard.

He knows. Next, it's Zeng Guoquan's turn, this is something that is clearly recorded in history, and it is also something that can be expected. The two brothers, who entered the knighthood on the same day, one was named a marquis, and the other was an uncle, which is also an outlier.

Who knows, it's not!

"Guan Zhuofan, the imperial guard and the political envoy of Jiangsu." Xu Gengshen paused deliberately, and a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. All eyes on you. The uproar turned around, and Guan Zhuofan's brain also buzzed gently. Hurriedly pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

"When I first went to Shanghai, I took a brigade of light divisions, and I was a single arduous and painstaking operation, so I became an army, and I broke the false people of Li Zhixiu twice, swept away the demonic atmosphere, and then protected Songjiang Ningjing. led the troops to the west, and Li Hongzhang and other Lian Kesu Chang, and then attacked the puppet city with Zeng Guoquan, and joined forces to capture Juhan. Foreigners such as Zobao Walr and Forrest were naturalized and made meritorious contributions. The naval division of the department defeated Tang Zhengcai in Taihu Lake, which was the key to the war in Soviet Province. Perseverance and hard work, public loyalty to the country, among the flag officers, the most exceptionally good. Guan Zhuofan rewarded the crown prince with a small title, and the third-class Jiayong Marquis of Xifeng was hereditary! ”

Lao Tzu is also a marquis? Guan Zhuofan was dumbfounded, and said in his heart that the picture of "immediately sealing the marquis" of my family Qingqing is really a bit evil......

Please go to Lingyan Pavilion temporarily, if you are a scholar and a marquis? In his heart, he suddenly felt something, and he couldn't tell what it was like for a while.

As for the "Prince Shaobao", it can be regarded as an honorary title - Taibao is to protect the safety of the prince, and Shaobao is the deputy of Taibao. Guan Zhuofan thought to himself, Zeng Guofan's "Taibao" is purely a false title, but Lao Tzu's "Shaobao" is genuine, and Tong Su is not deceived - not only the prince, but also the prince and his mother. Speaking of which, the marquis who got today may have a little bit to do with the support of the crown prince. However, the original prince has now become the emperor, and this emperor will probably not have a prince anymore, so which one should he protect as a young protector......

He was thinking so crankily, but Xu Gengshen didn't know these pickled thoughts in his head, and read them out to himself.

Zeng Guoquan was indeed awarded the first-class earl, and his knighthood was "Weiyi", and he also rewarded his eyes. Li Hongzhang was named a third-class uncle, and he was sent out of the boss with Guan Zhuofan. In addition, Li Chendian, the pipe band of the Xinzi battalion of the Hunan army, was awarded a first-class viscount for the success of digging tunnels and breaking through the Jiangning city wall, and Xiao Fusi was awarded the title of baron for the credit of "joining hands with the Xuan army to capture the reverse chief Li Xiucheng and others". However, Li Chendian himself was not blessed to accept this grace - after breaking Jiangning, there were five or six bare-ass women in his house every day, prostituting himself day and night, and finally overindulged, the old disease relapsed, and he died on the sixth day.

Now it's the turn of the generals of the Xuan Army, Guan Zhuofan once again pricked up his ears to listen.

Ding Shijie, a second-class viscount, was awarded the title of Governor of Jiangnan.

Daniel Zhang, baron of the first rank, with the rank of governor of Jiati, was actually awarded the commander-in-chief of Wolf Mountain Town.

Ixan, a baron of the first rank, with the rank of governor, was awarded the title of chief soldier of Susong Town.

These three people won the "fifth-class seal", although they relied on the military exploits accumulated over the past year, but the final word was still to capture and kill the "pseudo-young lord Hong Fuyu, the reverse chief Li Xiucheng", as well as Hong Renxuan, Hong Renda, Hong Renfa, Xiao Youhe, Lin Shaozhang, the most important "pseudo-kings". And Ixan's title is somewhat because his identity is a flag man.

In Guan Zhuofan's view, Ixan is not only able to fight and loyal, but also an example he has set and a very haode shield, which can cover the mouths of Manchurian relatives and nobles.

Wall rewarded the head and wore it, gave him a yellow coat, the title of Gabaturu, and was awarded the title of first-class lieutenant

Ding Ruchang, who wore a yellow coat, was awarded the first-class cavalry captain, and was actually awarded the commander-in-chief of the river division.

Forrest, the title of Gabaturu, the second rank of the top of the award, the name of the general soldier.

Jiang De, Wu Jianying, and Bai Qiwen were promoted to the rank of lieutenant general, and Tu Lin also won the title of lieutenant general with his accumulated military merits.

Zheng Guokui, the regimental officer of the Kuizi Regiment, was awarded the title of Sanpin General by virtue of the achievements of Qingpu and Suzhou to persuade him to surrender twice. The captains of the two foreign ships, Edward and Edward, were also awarded the rank of admiral for their contribution to the Battle of Lake Tai.

Liu Yulin, the official of the Linzi Regiment, the official of the acting regiment of the Xianzi Regiment, and Zhan Donglu, the official of the Luzi Regiment, got the guerrilla rank from Sanpin.

Not only that, but most of the actual posts of military attachés in Jiangsu Province, from the commander of Jiangnan and below, the commanders and deputy generals of the two towns, the general staff of the military battalion below the general office of the central military camp, and the guerrilla divisions of the various associations and targets, fell into the hands of the Xuan army.

Well, that is......

Guan Zhuofan was still pondering, and Xu Gengshen had already picked up another edict from the tray and read it leisurely.

"Li Hongzhang, the third-class uncle and governor of Jiangsu, since he left Anqing to serve as the governor of Jiangsu, has been working hard and handling military and civil affairs, which can be called outstanding. However, in several provinces of Henan and Anhui, disasters are still frequent, and the court is willing to follow it. Li Hongzhang was specially ordered to move to the governor of Anhui, and the Huai army under his department, which was drawn on the same day, and it was advisable to pursue the victorious division with all his might. His position of Su Fu could not be vacant, and he rewarded Guan Zhuofan with grace as the governor of Jiangsu, Zhao Jingxian as the political envoy of Jiangsu, and Liu Xun as the envoy of Jiangsu. I hope that the above ministers will bow down to the Sacred Heart and work together, which is a blessing! ”

Li Hongzhang's provenance, in the end, has fallen. He is a native of Anhui, and now he is back in Anhui to be an official, which was originally an unruly thing - the rules of the Qing Dynasty, officials are not allowed to be officials within 500 miles of their hometown, but since the rise of the army, they have long been unable to take care of this much, and the edict says that "the court employs people, how can you follow it", which is what it means, not to mention that the Huai army went to calm the chaos in Anhui, which can be regarded as suitable for people and land.

But in the final analysis, everyone knows that Li Hongzhang's transfer is because he wants to vacate Su Fu's position for Guan Zhuofan. Of course, the imperial court also knew that Li Hongzhang had grievances, so he first praised Li Hongzhang in this edict, and then faintly hung a reward, "On the day of success, he will not hesitate to reward" as a comfort.

After reading this edict, Xu Geng's face showed a smile.

"Everyone, please." He held his hand and said, "Master Guan, this is going to give you congratulations!" ”

"Uncle Xing, how dare you do this?" Guan Zhuofan clenched his fists and made a wave, "You are an angel, I haven't thanked you for your hard work at sea!" ”

The people who knelt in a hall dared to get up and looked at each other, all with a beaming face. This time the court's reward was all happy, but what we have to do now is naturally to learn from Xu Gengshen and congratulate the newly promoted Marquis Guan first.

"Tongxi, Tongxi, all rely on your strength, Guan Mou has today." Guan Zhuofan smiled quietly and returned the salute one by one, but in his heart, he couldn't wait to clench his fists and shout heartily.

Jiangsu is Lao Tzu's world!
