I can't die

The disciples of the Green Gang can be described as the most aggressive underworld in the Qing Dynasty, and now they are killing Takasugi Jin to make the shit out of them, and they are full of addiction.I thought that if I could encounter such unilateral massacres a few more times, I wouldn't be too happy, it would be considered bloody for these thieves.

Silently observe 3 minutes of silence for those Japanese pirates who fed the belly of the fish.In the morning sun, the youths of the Qing Gang hummed a little song and swept the blood on the boat, while wiping the shiny foreign guns on their waists, thinking about the rewards they could get after going to sea this time, they were really happy.

Here I have to say that the welfare of the Green Gang is really good. It can be called the first gang in the Qing Dynasty. All the children who are on board this time can get two taels of silver, and the silver is distributed by the Ministry of Households. Their families will also receive a subsidy of 30 taels, and the orphans and widows in the family will be taken care of by members of the gang. It is no wonder that the disciples of the Qing Gang are so loyal.

After this attack by the Japanese pirates, there were no unscrupulous people who dared to provoke the Qing Gang again, so the grain ship finally arrived at Dagukou after several days of sailing.Seng Gelinqin, the general of the garrison at Dagukou, had already heard the news and led his troops to wait at the port. He dispatched troops to unload grain from grain ships and load them into vehicles to transport them to the front line. At the same time, he also carried out another task, counting the number of firearms. , which is also a very important task.Firearms are one of the weapons most valued by the Qing Dynasty today. The Green Gang was able to equip firearms with the special approval of the Ministry of War and Li Hongzhang for this grain shipment.

After the food arrived in the north, Zai Chun breathed a sigh of relief.Although he doesn't know much about military affairs, he still understands the principle that food and grass go first before the three armies move.It's just that when he was reading Seng Gelinqin's memorial, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart. He really felt that the Japanese were so courageous that even wooden boat machetes dared to cut off the grain. He probably didn't know how the word "death" was written.

"Forget it, the Qing Dynasty's internal troubles are completely settled now. When everything is cleaned up, they must look good." Zai Chun sighed, and could only temporarily put aside his thoughts of using force against Little Japan.

"Where is Zuo Zongtang, where is he now?" Zai Chun asked Li Lianying.Now Li Lianying has become the head eunuch of the Qianqing Palace, and with Zai Chun's decentralization of power, it is a bit like a eunuch of the former dynasty.The palm print eunuch is the most powerful eunuch among the twelve eunuchs in the former dynasty, and even has the right to complete the national decision-making general "best approval".Of course, it is impossible for Zaichun to hand over the right to "approve red" to others, but he only allowed Li Lianying to review the memorials and rank them according to their importance. Even so, it actually greatly broke the ancestral system of eunuchs being unable to read But An Dehaiding is taking the lead, so far no one has said anything.)

Hearing Zai Chun's question, Li Lianying calculated the marching speed based on her guess, and replied: "Going back to the emperor, you must have left Zhili and arrived in Shanxi."

Shanxi Province is sandwiched between Zhili (Hebei) and Shaanxi Province, and is an extremely important defense area in its current form.Once the rebels break through the Shanxi defense line, they will be able to approach Zhili and threaten the safety of the capital.This is why Zuo Zongtang went straight to Shanxi after starting from Zhejiang.

After Zuo Zongtang came to Shanxi, the first thing he did was to meet Yang Yuebin, governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.To say that Yang Yuebin and Zuo Zongtang were old acquaintances, both of them had worked together under Zeng Guofan, so they were more or less like comrades-in-arms.

"I'm ashamed of being a brother, ashamed of the court, ashamed of the emperor, and ashamed of Lao Zeng's promotion."

When Yang Yuebin saw Zuo Zongtang, his face was full of vicissitudes, his voice trembled, and his words were full of shame and self-blame.Now the conflict between the Hui and the Han has reached the point where it is difficult to reconcile in Shaanxi-Gansu, and the number of Hui rebels is also increasing. Lanzhou City, the capital of Gansu, is also heavily surrounded by rebels. If Yang Yuebin hadn't been the first to break through Gansu Province, I am afraid that they may be captured soon.

Zuo Zongtang immediately supported Yang Yuebin's hand, and hurriedly lifted him up: "Brother Yang, you must not blame yourself. Mr. Zeng also wrote to me before he came here. The imperial court has no intention of reducing responsibility. I only hope that brother can take the blame and make meritorious service!"

Although the reason for the intensification of the Hui rebellion today is the unfavorable responsibility of the inspector Yang Yuebin, on the one hand, Zeng Guofan’s policy formulation mistakes are also involved. Obviously, Zeng Guofan resisted a lot of scolding before Zai Chun and the two empress dowagers. With a personality that likes to vent anger, Yang Yuebin's head will definitely not be kept.

"Hey." Yang Yuebin sighed: "After this rebellion is over, I will go to the court to beg for my brother's bones. I only hope that this time I can do my best for the court."

Zuo Zongtang looked at Yang Yuebin's look of losing his heroism, and sighed in his heart, so he could only ask about the current situation in Shaanxi and Gansu.As we all know, the current situation in Shaanxi and Gansu is very bad, but after listening carefully to Yang Yuebin's statement, Zuo Zongtang did not expect it to be so bad.

Now both the Hui and the Han races have become red-hot, which means that in addition to solving the problems of the Hui people, they also need to appease the Han people.At the same time, according to Yang Yuebin, the Hui army has reached 50 now. Although the number of people in this number is false, it is still very scary.

"With a crowd of 50, it's no wonder that Mr. Zeng insisted on mobilizing the explosives of the Anqing Internal Army."

After years of fighting in the Qing army, the number of soldiers has become less and less. It is good to reduce a loss, and modern hot weapons can best make up for the lack of numbers.

"It would be the best if we were helped by such divine soldiers." Hearing this, Yang Yuebin heaved a sigh of relief, and then seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, brother Zuo, there is something I have to tell you. That's right. The main reason for my brother's downfall. It turns out that my brother once sent Zhao'an envoys to go back to the rebels to recruit for security. According to the spies' response, these Hui people seemed to be afraid of my court's power and were willing to accept the recruitment. But for some reason, they suddenly turned their faces and killed my Zhao'an envoys. , leading to such a situation.”

Zuo Zongtang's heart skipped a beat when he heard Yang Yuebin's words, and he immediately smelled a conspiracy from it.In fact, Zeng Lao's previous appeasement strategy is quite feasible in his opinion, and it is beyond everyone's expectations that it will end in such a way.

"I was still wondering, but I just heard Brother Yang's words, but I had to think about it." Zuo Zongtang immediately raised his thoughts.In fact, Yang Yuebin already had the same idea as Zuo Zongtang, otherwise he would not have brought it up.Now that the two of them are together, the more they discuss, the more doubtful they feel.
