In the Military Aircraft Department, Prince Gong Yixin still hasn't returned home, Wen Xiang and Cao Yuying are also there, and in the past few days, several people are scared. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Two days ago, Ruilin in Guangzhou sent a telegram that a large number of foreign fleets had been found outside the city of Guangzhou, ready to attack the city, but for two days, no news came, whether it was lost or won, whether the city of Guangzhou was lost, or the fleet of foreigners was not fought at all? No news at all! Damn Ruilin, he didn't even send a telegram to the imperial court!

Where did they think that the French army's offensive was so fierce that Ruilin didn't have time to order someone to send a telegram, and the city of Guangzhou had already fallen!

When a few people were in a hurry, Shi Zhengen, the squire of the military department, stumbled in, "Lord Wang, Lord Wang, it's not good!" ”

Several people were shocked, Yixin quickly stood up and shouted, "What's the matter?" ”

"The telegram from the telegraph office to Fuzhou, Guangzhou has fallen two days ago, and is now occupied by the French army, yesterday noon the main force of the British army launched an attack on Fuzhou, Lord Zuo Zongtang led more than 20,000 Chu troops to fight a bloody battle for a day and night, and finally the Chu army suffered heavy casualties, the British army bombarded Fuzhou City, even the city wall collapsed, fully occupied Fuzhou, and then launched a massacre in Fuzhou, tens of thousands of people died tragically under the British butcher's knife......

Yixin felt that it was dark in front of him, and he almost sat on the ground! Cao Yuying, who was on the side, snatched the telegram and looked at it carefully!

Sure enough, there were two copies of the telegram sent by Zuo Zongtang, one before and after the fall of Fuzhou, and the other after the fall, with a difference of only one hour!

Everyone was stunned, if Ruilin couldn't hold Guangzhou, it was understandable, after all, Guangdong's green battalion soldiers were too weak in combat power, and they were not the opponents of the foreign fleet at all, but Zuo Zongtang was different, before Guo Ye's rise, Zuo Zongtang's use of troops could be said to be the best in the Qing Dynasty, even Zeng Guofan had to bow down, the combat power of the Chu army was also notoriously strong, and recently it was equipped with a large number of firearms, 20,000 troops, only supported for a day and night, and was completely defeated by the British army!

"Guangzhou and Fuzhou have all fallen......"

Yixin muttered.

"Lord Wang, Zuo Zongtang's main force of the Chu army can't stop the British army, and the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan may not be able to withstand it, not to mention that there are only more than 10,000 Hunan troops in Zhili, and the combat power is not as good as the Chu army!"

Cao Yuying said urgently!

Yi Xin said angrily: "Can't stand it? If you can't stand it, you have to top it! Raise soldiers for a thousand days, use soldiers for a while! We have no way out! Immediately issued a decree, ordering the troops of King Qinwang of all provinces to speed up their march into Zhili, march with all their might, and be sure to arrive in the vicinity of Gyeonggi within two days to stand by! Immediately issued an order to Zeng Guofan in Tianjin, even if the Hunan army fought to the last man, it must not retreat, and Tianjin must be defended to the death! ”

"Lord Wang, even if it is the last person to fight, Tianjin will definitely be lost, look at this posture, Zeng Guofan will definitely not be able to hold it, a single British army will beat Zuo Zongtang to the ground, if Britain, France and Spain join forces to attack, Zeng Guofan will definitely not be able to support it even if he is powerful!"

"So what? Is it just like this to surrender without a fight, think about the conditions of foreigners, that is what the imperial court can bear? ”

Yixin shouted.

"Lord Wang!"

Cao Yuying said astringently: "We must immediately give Guo Ye an order, let Guo Ye return to the division immediately, even if Lu Jun can't come back, let him rush back to preside over the overall situation day and night, only they can stabilize the current situation!" If we delay, we really won't have a way back! And even in harsh conditions, it is stronger than the death of the country, when there is really no way, what can we do? Don't say 30 million taels of silver, even if it's 60 million taels of silver, we still have to squeeze it out......"

Yixin gritted his teeth and shouted: "Come on, immediately send seven hundred miles to expedite again, quickly recruit Guo Ye to return to Beijing, six days, six days must rush back to the capital, dare to resist and disobey, and make a decision!" ”

At this juncture, Yixin has no other way to think of, even if it is to tie up, he has to tie Guo Ye back! No matter how big the rebellion is, at most it is a scourge of the northwest provinces, and it is definitely more likely to sweep the country than the number of ****, but the foreigners are really fatal, once the foreigners enter Beijing again, then this time it is much more powerful than the last time, there are more than 100,000 people, it is easy to send God!

That's not enough!

Yixin then shouted: "Spread the will, with Prince Yixun as the governor of the capital defense, all the firearms in Beijing will be distributed, and from now on, the eight banners and firearms battalions in the capital will be rectified, and all the troops will be mobilized for me to protect the safety of the capital!" ”

Wen Xiang grinned and shouted, "Lord Wang, at this time, how can you send Prince Alcohol to supervise the battle?" Where can he withstand the attack of foreigners? At the critical moment, a person who knows the soldier must be allowed to go up! ”

Someone who knows the soldiers?

What the hell, do you think Lao Tzu doesn't want to use famous generals, where to find it? Zeng Guofan is now fighting on the front line of the governor of Tianjin; Zuo Zongtang is far away in Fujian; Li Hongzhang is far away in Huguang, Zeng Guoquan is in Anhui, and Guo Ye is far away in Shaanxi, where to find a fierce general?

"Bochuan, you should find a person who knows the soldiers for this king? Which, which? ”

Yixin airway.

Wen Xiangden was also stupid, yes, he thought it was good, but which one had experienced the battle formation? Above the court, there are a group of scholars, useless scholars, or pampered princes and nobles, these scholars are useless!

"Wang Huanzhang, Wang Huanzhang! Lord Wang, we still have Wang Huanzhang to use! ”

Cao Yuying suddenly shouted.

"Wang Huanzhang?"

Yi Xin was stunned?

"That's right, Lord Wang, at the beginning, the Duke of Yasukuni fully recommended Wang Huanzhang to be the governor of a province, but there was no shortage in each province, so he just received the title of commander, and at the same time was added to the president of the firearms battalion in the capital, the firearms battalion is where Guo Ye started, and the soldiers in it were all brought up by Guo Ye and Wang Huanzhang, Wang Huanzhang is a first-class warrior under Guo Ye, and even Baoding Town was called in his hands, at this time, Wang Huanzhang can only be reused!"

Yixin was overjoyed, yes, he really forgot about him, at the beginning, Guo Ye wanted Wang Huanzhang to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, but I refused, and later recommended Wang Huanzhang to serve as the governor of Shaanxi, but I refused, Guo Ye did not give up, so he threw Wang Huanzhang in the capital, and now it seems that the unintentional move actually left a glimmer of life for the capital!

"Okay, then immediately draft a decree and appoint Wang Huanzhang as the commander of the Nine Gates, the governor of the capital battalion of soldiers and horses, ready to fight!" (To be continued.) )
