Chapter 394: The Ministers Tie Their Hands

The next day, morning chao!

"Ministers, what do you say?"

Ci'an asked in a low voice.

Yesterday, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces discussed with a prince and a scholar for a long time, but she didn't know what to do, so she had to give up for the time being.

Today's morning dynasty, just at the beginning, Yixin took out the battle report, Ci'an asked someone to circulate it, and asked.

The ministers looked at each other one by one, Shi Dakai came back from Sichuan, this is really fatal, Tianjing City has been captured but it has only been two months, I just subdued a tiger, I didn't expect to kill another more ferocious!

Even the famous Zeng Guoquan and Bao Chao were leveled by others and almost wiped out, so where are there other armies in the entire Qing Dynasty that can compete with the Taiping Army? Zuo Zongtang is confronting the king Li Shixian in Zhejiang, and it is difficult to complete it in a short period of time; Li Hongzhang still has spare strength in Jiangsu, but in the face of Shi Dakai's 100,000 Taiping army, even if the entire Huai army presses up, there are not many troops, not to mention that there are still Taiping army remnants in Jiangsu to be exterminated.

In addition to these few people promoted by Zeng Guofan, the Qing Dynasty has no generals who can fight well, by the way, there is also a monk Greenqin, but Monk Greenqin is now in Henan and people are still fighting with other bandits, there are almost seventy or eighty thousand twisters in the whole Henan, and the strength is also quite strong, Monk Greenqin wants to exterminate the twist bandits, and I don't know if I have to wait until the Year of the Monkey!

"You are talking! Are they all dumb? Aren't you all very capable? Aren't they all higher than the sky? Where did all the momentum go when you were impeaching? ”

Cixi sat on it, watching the courtiers all keep silent, and the anger became even greater, and she slammed the cup on the bookcase, and roared angrily at the courtiers.

In the middle of the court, Li Hongzao stood up. He said: "The queen mother, the queen mother, thought that Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hubei, could immediately lead the army westward and enter the territory of Sichuan, besieging the remnants of the Taiping army in Sichuan, and Shi Wei occupied the entire Sichuan, taking it as the foundation. If you want to expand in the east, you will definitely not give up Sichuan easily, once Sichuan is tight, Shi Dakai will have to meet the division to rescue, this is the plan to save Zhao from Wei Wei! ”

Yixin shook his head helplessly, Wei Wei to save Zhao? It's a shame that Li Hongzao thought of it, marching from Hubei to Sichuan, is Luo Bingzhang's Hubei very insured now? Luo Bingzhang ran to Sichuan, so what should Hubei do? Hubei's position in the imperial court is much more important than Sichuan's. And Hubei is adjacent to Anhui, especially only a few hundred miles away from Anqing, but it is much farther from Hubei to Sichuan, Luo Bingzhang is afraid that he has not yet entered the hinterland of Sichuan, and Shi Dakai will start to Hubei, and when the time comes, it will be really blind! Don't Anhui didn't succeed, even Hubei got into it again. Once there is a problem in Hubei, then Shi Dakai will connect the positions of Anhui, Hubei and even Jiangxi. When the time comes, the momentum will be even stronger!

Yixin replied: "Master Li, your method doesn't work, don't say it, now if you start with Sichuan, the daylilies will be cold, if your idea was half a year ago." Or maybe it was useful to bring it up a year ago, and now it'......"

Li Hongzao's face turned red, he had two skills in learning, and he was a complete layman when it came to marching and fighting. Where can I get to the point?

Yixin continued: "Guys, which of you has a better idea? ”

Hubu Shangshu Baojun stood up and said in a deep voice: "Queen Mother, Lord, the minister thinks that he can temporarily drop the monk Greenqin to lead the cavalry south, gallop to aid the Hunan army, and stabilize the situation in Anhui first, and wait until Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang come out and form a joint encirclement in Anhui, and encircle and suppress Shi Dakai Changmao against the party in one fell swoop!" ”

Wan Qingli, the secretary of the Ministry of War, smiled bitterly and said: "Lord Baojun, you transferred the cavalry of the monk king to Anhui, what can you do with the twisted bandits in Henan?" If there is no containment of the monks' cavalry, once they cross the Yellow River in the north, they will enter the Gyeonggi area, and at that time, the capital will be dangerous......"

Bao Jun's face turned red when he was choked, and he asked rhetorically: "Master Wan, you are the secretary of the military department and the right manager, so what do you say should be?" Where to transfer troops? ”

Wan Qingli gritted his teeth and replied: "The Queen Mother, the King of Parliament, the minister thought that he should transfer the governor of Shandong, Zuo Guigui, to the south to aid Anhui, the three towns of Shandong Zuo Guigui, after some rectification, it is said that the combat power is good, and it can be used, and Guo Ye prepared to train the army in Shandong before, and there are thousands of elites, and Baoding also has 3,000 elites, all of whom have experienced the big war from the battlefield, especially the Baoding Zhenxiong Division, which has fought with foreigners, and once it arrives in Anhui, it will definitely be able to withstand Shi Dakai's attack!" ”

Mobilize the troops of the three towns of Shandong and Baoding? Do you still want to mobilize Jinan's training army? This kid really dares to think about it!

Wen Xiang looked at Wan Qingli with a wry smile and said, "Lord Wan, the Queen Mother and the King of Yizheng also know that Guo Ye's army can fight well, but where is Guo Ye now?" Zuo Guigui was just a general soldier before, from the general soldier to the commander, there was not a year and a half, even if he was outstanding, but this qualification was much worse, it could suppress these proud soldiers trained by Guo Ye? You have to know that at the beginning, you were more ruthless than the other against Guo Ye, forcing Guo Ye to go away to the United States, you said that now Guo Ye is still suffering in the United States, can you mobilize the elite soldiers who are full of resentment below? ”

Wu Ren was displeased beside him, and replied: "Lord Bochuan, this is a bad word, the soldiers in this world are all soldiers of the imperial court, not Guo Ye's private soldiers, why can't they be mobilized?" Is this world still the world of the Qing Dynasty? ”

Wen Xiang smiled bitterly and replied: "Lord Genfeng, the world is naturally the world of the Qing Dynasty, but this soldier is not under the leadership of anyone can exert the greatest combat power, the same army, under Guo Ye, can compete with the Tsarist Russians, Britain and France, but, if you are a bystander, it is difficult to say, the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and one will be difficult to find, my lord, you won't be clear, right?" Although Zuo Guigui's ability is not weak, compared to Guo Ye, it is still too far behind......

Wu Ren's face turned red, how did Guo Ye get driven out of Shandong? It's not that he and Li Hongzao are working hard behind their backs, the two bigwigs don't look down on what Guo Ye did, and they are bent on maintaining the orthodoxy of the middle school, but now it's okay, Guo Ye drove away, but there is a big mess in the south, and if you want to use Guo Ye, you can't use it now, people are far away in the United States, 20,000 miles away, where is it too late?
