I can't die

Alut Chongqi's identity seems to be good in everything, but there is one thing worth talking about, that is, his Dafujin is Duanhua's prostitute.Duanhua, an old acquaintance, I won’t say much about him. He was once one of the main members of the eight major auxiliary ministers. He was Cixi’s deadly enemy. The fate of death.

Shengbao wanted to promote such a person, obviously because he wanted to add trouble to Cixi. Before that, the Ministry of War was busy pacifying the Taiping Army and had no time to find fault with Cixi. Now that the world is in peace, naturally, the Ministry of War wants to Find a way to save face for yourself.

Thinking of this, Zai Chun couldn't help laughing, and wondered if his mother would really get sick after "calling her sick" after hearing the news.

The imperial court's reward for the Hunan Army's pacification of the Taiping Army was quickly issued. In order to fulfill the promise to the Hunan Army to send troops years ago, Zai Chun not only acquiesced in a part of the money that the Hunan Army had secretly given, but also promoted each general by one rank. level, and the rest of the family leave is also planned to be approved one after another.

Of course, when the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were immersed in the joy of celebration, it was inevitable that some ignorant censors would read Zeng Guofan's book about the massacre of the city by the Hunan Army. With a large sum of money, the matter was quickly suppressed.

In an instant, it seemed that the entire imperial court was immersed in a kind of joy that had never been seen in more than 20 years.After all, the Taiping rebels have been put down, and the most important internal troubles in the Qing court have been completely wiped out.

But at this moment, Zeng Guofan, now the most popular Minister of the Ministry of War, also faced the most important and dangerous choice in his life.

The Hunan Army invaded Tianjing, and the soldiers of the Hunan Army who were out of control wanted to avenge their long-term poverty and heavy casualties. They killed everyone they met, robbed them of money, and burned houses when they saw them.Even if Zeng Guofan intends to restrain the soldiers, these soldiers and men are already jealous at this time, and they will not listen to him.

If that's all, Zeng Guofan has outstanding military exploits at this time, and it's nothing more than resisting this crime.

That night, after the trial of the captured Hong Rengan, Zeng Guofan went into the bedroom to rest, and saw his brother Zeng Guoquan was waiting quietly at the door of his room with someone guarding him.Looking at this scene, Zeng Guofan was inevitably taken aback.

"Brother came to brother's account late at night, but something happened?"

Zeng Guoquan, Zeng Guofan's younger brother heard the words, stepped forward and replied, "Please show me a way out, brother."

"The way out?"

When Zeng Guofan heard the words, he already had a premonition in his heart, but he still pretended to be puzzled: "The imperial court has issued a decree to reward the three armies, and we are waiting for the Hunan army to be in the limelight. How can this be so?"

"But I was born as a Han Chinese, but I hold a heavy army. As the saying goes, the cunning rabbit dies, and the lackeys cook. Now that the southeast is half empty, brother, do you want to?" This is actually asking Zeng Guofan very clearly, do you dare to rebel? "

When Zeng Guofan heard this, his face sank for a moment, and he put the cup in his hand heavily on the table, and made a clear and clear sound: "You dare to say this kind of head-losing, you are really confused!"

Zeng Guoquan seemed to be dissatisfied, his face flushed immediately, and he anxiously argued: "Now the governor of Liangjiang is the elder brother, and he is also the secretary of the Ministry of War. There are also three current governors and five current governors, all of whom are members of the Hunan Army. The elder brother holds more than 20 elite soldiers of the Hunan Army. If necessary, he can persuade Hong Rengan, who is now under arrest, to raise his arms. , Take in the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rebels to follow you to rebel. In this way, you will have more than 30 elite troops. With these soldiers and horses, you can break through the capital, restore the Han family, and become a generation of emperors. Big brother, who can give you up! "

Zeng Guofan shook his head when he heard the words, and said slowly: "Old Jiu, you know one thing and don't know the other! In the Hunan Army, there are many people who can share adversity, but not wealth. Zuo Zongtang A generation of heroes, who used to be unwilling to be inferior to others when they were masters, but now they are equal to me, can he be willing to bow his head in front of me? I am sure that if there is an incident, the first person to attack me will be Zuo Zongtang; let’s talk about Li Hongzhang , if everything goes smoothly for me, Li Hongzhang will always be my student; The current Hunan army in the hands of my brother, after so many years of fighting, has already wiped out the elite, those outstanding people have long since died, and the troops are already old. How can they fight again? Besides, Hong Rengan, he does not Surrendering can be done with a wave of arms, and followers gather; once he surrenders, he is a running dog, who will listen to him!"

Zeng Guofan waved his hands while talking, and Zeng Guoquan was speechless immediately.

At this point, Zeng Guofan looked at his younger brother who had calmed down, and said again: "Being a soldier eats food and gets promoted to get rich. It's like raising a group of dogs. If you throw a bone, it will follow you. If someone else throws a bigger bone, it will follow you." I might betray you. With my current state, how many bones can I throw at them? What's more, now that the imperial court has just issued a decree for promotion, people's hearts have already been taken away. Whoever makes trouble at this time will undoubtedly die."

"What's more... Brother Wei now has a knife hanging on his head..."

Zeng Guofan couldn't help sighing, Zeng Guoquan looked at his brother's expression, and was very surprised: "Why is brother so embarrassed?"

"You also said before that the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackey is cooking. Although I have a heavy army now, and the emperor trusts me very much, but since ancient times, the emperor's heart is unpredictable. We are too powerful, and I am afraid of the emperor..."

"The emperor shouldn't?"

Zeng Guoquan remembered that Zai Chun had repeatedly resisted the pressure of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty in order to provide arms to the Hunan Army when he was fighting, and finally felt that Zai Chun was a kind man.

"Always leave a way out. Brother Wei is going to write a letter, asking the emperor to allow the Hunan Army to disarm. When you go back, tell your generals to step up and be a man."

Zeng Guofan sighed, and he could only hope that this move of his would leave a good impression on the emperor.With Zeng Guofan's temperament, he would think a lot when thinking about it, but once he made up his mind, his execution ability was very strong.Within five days, Zeng Guofan's request for disarmament was on Zai Chunhe's desk.The Minister of Military Aircraft looked at this memorial and naturally wanted to allow it, but after all, the Ministry of War is Zai Chun's power, and the emperor did not speak, and they dared not express their views, not to mention that they were short-handed, so they got the Hunan Army's filial piety of 100 million taels of silver Woolen cloth.

Therefore, the decision on this matter rests entirely in Zai Chun's hands.The survival of the Hunan Army is also in Zaichun's mind. . .
