Chapter 511: Embarking on the Return Journey (1)
New York, Guo Ye has been sweeping the northeast of the United States for more than ten days, all kinds of equipment has been collected a lot, large and small, now there should be no problem in equipping a ship, not only all kinds of equipment, but also some professional engineers, also Guo Ye has also excavated a lot, this is Guo Ye to pack and bring back to China.
When Guo Ye was sitting in an office sorting out what else to buy, Xue Fucheng hurriedly barged in from outside.
"Ziming, Ziming!"
Xue Fucheng shouted loudly.
Guo Ye raised his head and said, "What's the matter, second brother, what's so anxious, sit down first!" ”
Xue Fucheng said urgently: "Okay, Ziming, do you still have the heart to let me sit down?" Something happened, this time it's really an accident! ”
Guo Ye raised his eyebrows and asked, "What's the matter, what's the matter?" ”
Xu Fucheng spread the newspaper in front of Guo Ye and said: "You see, today's news from the Sun News, half a month ago, the Twist Army and the Taiping Army set up an ambush in Henan to lure the enemy deeper, and as a result, the Monk led a headlong into the ambush circle of Zhang Luoxing and Lai Wenguang of the Twist Army, and after a few days of fierce fighting, the Monk King was annihilated, and the Monk King himself was killed by the Twist Army in Qi County!" ”
What the!
Guo Ye's heart was shocked, it was only 1863, according to the original historical context, why did Monk Greenqin not be surrounded and annihilated in Shandong until 1865, why was he encircled and annihilated in Henan so quickly? Could it be that this butterfly effect is really so powerful?
A drink and a peck, there is a destiny, Guo Ye first followed the Tongzhou Rebellion, suppressed Luo Bingzhang, made Shi Dakai escape from death, occupied the entire Sichuan, and left the fire for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, now it is good, Shi Dakai occupied Tianjing for the second time, and attracted all the elite soldiers and strong generals of the Qing court to the Jianghuai area, in the entire territory of Henan, only Monk Greenqin faced the Twist Army and the Taiping Army alone, but it also accelerated the defeat of Monk Greenqin!
Guo Ye was silent for a while, Monk Greenqin was the only person Guo Ye had feelings for the ruling class of the Manchu Dynasty, without Monk Greenqin's support and protection, how could he live so comfortably? Even Prince Gong is far from the status in Guo Ye's heart, as for Cixi, that's another matter, just a woman, where is the affection given to him by the monk king?
Monk King, just died in Henan!
"Second brother, is there a new telegram coming in the country now?"
Xue Fucheng shook his head and replied: "Ziming, now the situation is very clear, the monk king has been martyred, there are no famous generals in the entire north who can fight well, and the Gyeonggi area is extremely empty, I am afraid that the Twist Army will definitely ......go north."
Guo Ye was pondering when a secretary ran in and said urgently: "General, the domestic emergency call is from Shandong!" ”
Guo Ye's heart was shocked, and he hurriedly snatched the telegram, chatted a few lines, and explained the matter clearly - the first thing, Zhejiang fell, and Zuo Guigui led the three towns of Shandong to go south to Jiangsu and Zhejiang, preparing to encircle and suppress the Taiping Army together with the Hunan Army and the Huai Army; The second thing, the monk king was martyred, and the army crossed the Yellow River and advanced towards the territory of Zhili!
Guo Ye put down the telegram and began a long silence, Xue Fucheng on the side couldn't help it, and asked, "Ziming, what should we do next?" ”
Guo Ye slowly stood up from the chair, his eyes were resolute, and he replied slowly: "Second brother, it's time for us to return to China, immediately arrange a train for me, no, arrange two war horses for me, I will return to Washington immediately, meet Grant and Lincoln, and immediately send a telegram to Chen Hai, telling him to immediately start rectifying the Sixth Army and strip all the people we brought out of the Sixth Army to standby!" And the follow-up of the next purchase will be left to you to wrap up, if there is anything to mention to Grant, don't be polite to him! ”
Xue Fucheng hurriedly went down to prepare, Guo Ye looked out the window from afar, his eyes were a little moist, he originally thought that when he went back, he could still see Monk Greenqin, a close, kind, thick and majestic old man, but now it seems that there is no hope, no matter what, he can be today, to a large extent, it is because of the support of the old prince, without him, he will definitely not be able to rise rapidly!
Xue Fucheng arranged the war horse, and Guo Ye took more than a dozen personal soldiers, flew on the horse, one person and two horses, and galloped towards Washington.
It was not far from New York to Washington, and the two war horses were running in turn, and it took less than a day to arrive in Washington, and enter Washington City, Guo Ye went straight to the US military headquarters, in front of Grant.
Grant also saw the news, and their own channels have also passed the news back, Grant is a little worried, and I don't know if it will affect Guo Ye, if it really causes Guo Ye to leave the United States, then his next courage will be even heavier!
While Grant was thinking wildly, there was a neighing of war horses outside the headquarters, and a staff officer hurriedly broke in and shouted: "General Grant, General Guo Ye has rushed back from New York and asked to see you!" ”
Grant's heart sank, it seems that he is afraid of something, Guo Ye was still in New York yesterday, and now in just one day, he has come from New York to Washington, definitely all the way, definitely Guo Ye got the news, and he couldn't sit still!
Grant shook his head and replied, "Go out and invite General Guo Ye in." ”
Guo Ye broke in in a hurry, and Grant said, "General Guo, rushed back from New York so soon?" ”
Guo Ye took a deep breath and replied: "General Grant, I think you have also got the news, now the situation in China has begun to become out of control, and Prince Horqin has been martyred, it is time for me to return to the country to clean up the situation!" ”
Grant didn't expect Guo Ye to be so direct, and asked, "General Guo, is there no room for negotiation?" ”
Guo Ye shook his head and replied: "Grant, there is no room for negotiation, if it weren't for the sudden death of the monk king, maybe I could still stay in the United States for a month, now I must not stay in the United States anymore, not only to save the crisis, but also to avenge the monk king, the monk king treats me like a nephew, a manly man, grievances are clear, there are grievances, there is revenge, the monk died tragically, I must not sit idly by!" Please also make an appointment for me to meet President Lincoln to discuss the deployment of the Civil War next, which is the last thing I will do for your country! ”
Grant nodded helplessly, although he didn't know the relationship between Guo Ye and Monk Greenqin, but Guo Ye ran from New York to Washington so quickly, it was absolutely rare, Guo Ye's departure was inevitable!
