Playing procrastination tricks is absolutely not acceptable. Zeng Guofan will not accept that trick. Zeng Guofan, who is now exhausted, does not want to go around in circles.
Whatever you say, everything is put on the table for you. You can eat it whether you like it or not!
"I say it again, I'm going to die... cough cough cough... there are some things that must be done before I die!"
"Don't they all say that I am going to rebel? Don't they all say that I am a traitor? Aren't everyone in the court guarding me? So today I will let the government and the public see whether I am a traitor and whether I am loyal to Lord Long Live. dedicated!"
"As long as I have one breath, I have to help Long live the Lord on the horse...the wedding and the pro-government must be completed within the next year!"
"There is no room for bargaining, I just put my words here!"
Ci Xi was moved to tears by her powerful words, Ci'an's eyes were also red, only Yixin's face was red and Yixuan was at a loss like a fool.
Guiziliu stood there for a long time, but in the end he did not dare to explode but let out a sigh of relief: "Zeng Shuai... what are you doing... The people who run the show are not so straightforward. Do you think I am a fool?"
"Are you afraid that I will get in the way? Are you afraid that I won't let Mr. Long live the government? You can't be so suspicious of people!"
"Haha... Wei Chen didn't say that. Wei Chen doesn't doubt anyone. Wei Chen is just a stubborn person. These two major things must be done next year!"
Tough, really tough. Today the Queen Mother and the Prince have learned how Zeng Guofan put down the Changmao Rebellion!
On weekdays, Zeng Guofan is still a humble gentleman and a typical scholar, but as long as he becomes tough, nothing will happen to others.
Looking back on the battles he fought to pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it would be fair to say that he was mature, prudent and conservative, because he liked to set up camps, dig trenches and then encircle them, fighting a war of attrition.
In fact, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was finally surrounded by the Hunan Army in a long trench battle!
But this steady and steady strategy is actually a reflection of Zeng Guofan's character, which is tenacity!
If I can't beat you, I'll wear you to death, if I surround you to death, I'll be in a stalemate with you for the rest of my life, let's see who gives up first in the end!
Today this strategy has been applied to the imperial court. Do you want to take advantage of it? Not to mention there are no doors or windows!
You have to make a promise with red lips and white teeth, and you have to get all these things done in 1872, that is, next year, and make it clear in front of all the forces.
Yi Xin's face changed several times and finally smiled, "It's a good thing for His Majesty to take charge of the government personally. I support it with both hands! I haven't said anything yet. When the time comes, give money to others and people to others!"
"Okay! It's good to have these words from the prince...cough cough cough..." Zeng Guofan suddenly coughed violently and his face turned red.
"Commander... send the message to the imperial doctor quickly, the imperial doctor..." Cixi pricked her hands anxiously and didn't know what to do.
"No... no need for the imperial doctor... to call the minister... the minister's bodyguard to come..." Zeng Guofan gasped.
"Quick pass..."
Following the sound, Zeng Guofan's personal guard, the old farmer, who had been waiting outside the palace, rushed in. He didn't care about saluting and quickly pressed his hands on the commander's back, gently holding the acupuncture points to massage the blood.
The old farmer lowered his head and said, "If it doesn't work, just burn one...it's an emergency!"
How could Zeng Guofan, a great hero, be embarrassed in front of the Manchus at this time? He shook his head fiercely, "I'm fine!"
The old farmer asked Zeng Guofan to burn some opium to calm his asthma, and opium could also suppress the pain. This was nothing. For people who were exhausted, opium before death was completely a psychotropic drug.
But Zeng Guofan didn't want the Manchus to see him smoking cigarettes, and he wanted to maintain his identity as a great Han scholar until his death.
Half a million Hunan Army veterans turned into heavy smokers in the end? It would be a shame to spread the word!
"This... this second thing... has been discussed... I have one last thing... Peng Yulin... you come in..."
Following the words, Peng Yulin, the Minister of the Ministry of War who had been waiting for him, strode into the Yangxin Hall!
"I see the Queen Mother, I see the Prince..."
Peng Yulin was the commander-in-chief of the Hunan Navy who was personally invited by Zeng Guofan. He was a close comrade-in-arms with Marshal Zeng and was now serving as the Minister of War of the Qing Dynasty.
But no one can deny the mark of the Hunan Army on his body. This is actually a representative of the power of the Hunan Army in the capital!
After Peng Yulin saluted, he took out a note and read, "Your Majesty returns to Luan... The security around the capital is a big problem... In order to prevent Xiaoxiao chaos... I would like to send an additional 20,000 Hunan troops to Baoding Prefecture in Zhili to ensure the security of the capital." …”
With a bang, chaos suddenly broke out in Dongnuan Pavilion. Yi Xin and Yixuan stood up and pointed at Zeng Guofan, stammering when they spoke.
"What... add... more troops? Don't you have 3,000 Hunan Army cavalry in Baoding now? Why do you need to increase 20,000 troops... What are you going to do?"
"Haha...what are you doing? I'm old...can these soldiers from my hometown carry my coffin and send it back to my hometown?"
"The ground here is not very level... I'm afraid someone might cut off my thin-skinned coffin on the way... and break my bones and spread the ashes. I'm afraid!"
This time the *smell is strong. The first two things were fine, but this third thing is absolutely unacceptable. It's too late to defend the Hunan Army. How can he be allowed to increase his troops?
Yi Xuan jumped up and waved his hands and said, "No, no, no, I am the nine admirals responsible for the safety of the capital. The more than 20,000 soldiers I have are enough!"
"Yes! That's right. I have trained 30,000 soldiers in Xishan. How can I still be afraid of Xiaoxiao?"
Peng Yulin smiled slightly, "My lord, have you forgotten? You have trained 60,000 soldiers in Xishan, why did it become 30,000..."
"Where there are 60,000, there are only 30,000 soldiers, and the rest are auxiliary soldiers...all auxiliary soldiers who work!"
"Haha...the auxiliary soldiers are good, the auxiliary soldiers are good...they are all auxiliary soldiers who can shoot and fire cannons!"
"Peng Yulin, what do you mean? How dare you question me!"
"Don't dare... I just feel sorry for the millions of taels of silver... That's a lot of silver to train 30,000 soldiers? It's really expensive!"
"You!" Yi Xin was so angry that he couldn't make any noise with Zeng Guofan. You, Peng Yulin, also wanted to kick his nose in his face, so he was about to start scolding.
At this moment, there was only a snapping sound, and Ci'an slapped the tea bowl on the ground. "Do you all think that the Ai family is dead? This is the Hall of Cultivation of the Heart, not Dashilar!"
"Everyone sit back and shut up!"
There was dead silence in Dongnuan Pavilion. At this time, Zeng Guofan was no longer anxious. Instead, he took out a bottle of styrax wine from his arms and took a sip.
After a full quarter of an hour, Ci'an suppressed her anger. She looked at Zeng Guofan and said, "Zeng Shuai! I know what you want to do. You are determined to help Long Live Lord take charge next year!"
"Your loyal family understands, but it's really so confusing... okay?"
Zeng Guofan chuckled, "Okay... nothing bad... By the way... this is just a formality. In fact, 20,000 troops are already on the way now!"
ah! All the people in the room were dumbfounded!
