"The new Le président in France also decided to dispatch 170,000 troops to attack Yunnan Province."
"The United States will also send 80,000 troops to cooperate with us in the battle, and will land from the direction of Goguryeo."
"The Tsar of Tsarist Russia sent 200,000 Russian soldiers from Kazakhstan to attack Ili."
"Well, since he, Li Jingxiao, is so ignorant of praise, there's no need to blame the Ai family for teaming up with outsiders to deal with him."
"This is supposed to be our civil war, but if he, Lee Jingxiao, was unkind in the first place, don't blame me for being unjust."
"Didn't Li's Tang Dynasty first submit to the Hu people and pay tribute? That's how the Tang Dynasty came into being in the next 289 years."
"The winner is the king, and the loser is the bandit. As long as our Qing Dynasty wins in the end, this history will be written by us."
When Prince Gong heard what Cixi said, he also knew that Cixi was forcing himself to find a step.
But can they really win in the end?
"The Queen Mother, Wei Chen went to negotiate this time and had some discussions with Zuo Zongtang."
"Weichen believes that if we want to save the Qing Dynasty, we should reform."
"Oh, what kind of reform does Prince Gong think is appropriate?"
"Weichen believes that first we should strengthen the army and reduce all Eight Banners and Green Camp soldiers, and the Mongolian cavalry should also be reformed."
"Form our new army."
Cixi became furious after hearing this.
"The Eight Banners and Green Camp are the foundation of our Qing Dynasty."
"These words of yours make your ancestors in Aixinjueluo feel so chilled when they hear them."
"If we don't use the Eight Banners, who can we use? Tell me?"
"Who else can we trust in this world besides the Eight Banners?"
"The Ai family trusted Li Hongzhang, Bai Tao, Li Jingxiao, and Zhang Ruijin, but what about them?"
"Every one of them has done something treasonous and unethical."
"A group of rebellious officials and traitors only want to encroach on our Qing territory step by step."
"It's not that the Ai family doesn't want to trust them, it's that they force the Ai family not to trust them."
"There is also Zuo Zongtang, who is called the backbone of our Qing Dynasty. I want to see if he has any rebellious intentions."
"Don't he admire Li Jingxiao very much?"
"He wants to quickly bring down the Qing Dynasty and let his beloved disciple Li Jingxiao invade the capital as soon as possible, right?"
"By the way, you have reminded me. I think Zuo Zongtang will do bad things sooner or later if he continues to serve as the Imperial Envoy."
"In accordance with Ai Jiayi's decree, Zuo Zongtang was removed from the post of Imperial Envoy, and Rong Lu was appointed as the new Imperial Envoy of the Resistance Tenglong Army to continue leading the battle in Zuo Zongtang's place."
After hearing this, Prince Gong felt like he was about to explode with anger. He had no idea what kind of operation this was.
"Your Majesty, you must not do it. You must not do it. Changing generals on the battlefield has been a taboo for military strategists since ancient times. Even if Mr. Zuo has no merit, he has no fault."
"Suddenly replacing a general who is not familiar with the two armies can easily hasten the demise of our Qing Dynasty."
"How can we, the Qing Dynasty, be destroyed?"
"I still don't believe it. Without Butcher Zhang, we still have to eat pigs with hair on them."
"I think you are just trying to embolden other people's ambitions and destroy your own prestige. I must prove that my descendants of the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty can also restore their former glory."
"Little Lizi, go and convey the Ai family's wishes."
"嗻."
Prince Gong was speechless.
A look of despair.
Prince Gong left Rehe overnight and rushed back to the capital to take charge.
He went to the Ancestral Temple and cried for a long time. He was really ashamed of his ancestors.
After Ronglu was appointed, he immediately took people to the front line to prepare for battle.
Zuo Zongtang's eyes turned red after receiving Yi's order. He knew that such a day would come.
After the last conversation with Prince Gong, he knew that if Prince Gong accidentally said something wrong, he, Zuo Zongtang, would probably be replaced.
Prince Gong still underestimated the Queen Mother's willfulness.
Prince Gong thought about it all night in the Ancestral Temple. He thought that Cixi could not be allowed to continue to act recklessly.
Prince Gong visited several clan members, princes and ministers in the capital.
They put pressure on Cixi together. Now that Zuo Zongtang was not in trouble, he asked him to retreat to the capital, recruit new soldiers in the capital, and defend the capital.
In the end, Cixi had to compromise and chose to give in and agreed to Zuo Zongtang's recruitment of 80,000 Manchu, Han and Mongolian Eight Banners troops in the capital, all trained using foreign training methods.
Zuo Zongtang only has the right to train these 80,000 people. In fact, the power is still in the hands of a group of Baylor boys.
Prince Gong Yixin also participated in building the army, mainly because he was afraid that a group of Baylor would not listen to Zuo Zongtang.
The news of the change of generals in the Qing Dynasty quickly reached Li Jingxiao.
Li Jingxiao immediately summoned Bai Tao to discuss the matter.
Lu Wantong said to Li Jingxiao: "My Lord, there is news from England, France, America, and Tsarist Russia in the past few days. All countries are transporting large numbers of troops to our borders."
"Oh, it seems that the desire to kill me will never die!"
"Lao Bai, what do you think?"
"Grand Governor, we should now find out how many troops these countries have against us."
"And the direction of their offense."
"Lao Lu, I leave this matter to you. Find out the military strength of several countries as soon as possible."
"At this time an intelligence officer walked in."
"The Great Governor, Governor Gan Hong of Yunnan is calling."
"Oh, put the phone in."
"yes."
"Gan Hong, I am Li Jingxiao."
"Grand Governor, I have important information to report."
"The British soldiers have withdrawn from our borders."
"Oh, but the news we just received is that the British mainland is still sending a large number of troops to support the battle. Why did they suddenly withdraw their troops?"
"Has France withdrawn its troops?"
"France has not retreated. They are still building fortifications. They should be ready for a protracted war."
"We initially thought that the English retreated to join forces with the French, and we sent people to investigate. It turned out that the English left the Ruan Dynasty directly."
"Okay, Gan Hong, your information is very important. France will definitely make a big move later. You should be careful. Bai Tao and I will discuss it again."
"Yes, Grand Governor."
Bai Tao said: "Grand Governor, Yingji's operation should be to retreat to the Flying Cake Country, and then attack our Tibet from the Flying Cake Country."
"They did not attack from Tibet because they were allies with the Qing Dynasty. Now that Tibet has been taken by us, they have made it clear that they want to attack Tibet."
"At present, we have just captured Tibet, and there are still some stubborn nobles in Tibet who are resisting."
"Our troops in Tibet are also limited. If they attack our Tibetan area now, we have to defend them."
"Lao Bai, currently England and France are attacking from the direction of Tibet, and the other is attacking from the direction of Yunnan."
"The United States' choice is probably to join any one of Britain, France, and the Qing Dynasty."
"They have no colonies near our country and can only rely on these few countries."
"But he will definitely not be able to get a good territory if he relies on England and France."
"With our three major fleets on the coast of our country, they can't even think about profiting from it."
"The only way is to rely on the Qing Dynasty and then get a coastal city. Most likely they will take a fancy to our Shandong and Jiangsu."
"Lao Maozi has two directions of attack. One is to take Heilongjiang, but Lao Maozi does not have many troops in the east."
