Chapter 68 How is it possible
"Laofu, grandpa, slave dares to carry the bag. What I said is definitely not a lie. There are still many brothers in the Eastern Qing Dynasty, who are still alive. Lord Wu can call these brothers and ask these brothers to tell them, is what I said nonsense?"
Li Lianying's expression couldn't help but change, and he thought of a possibility. However, if he raised this possibility, it would be a big bad thing, so he just stood by and kept silent.
Cixi said angrily: "Little Lizi, tell me, how can there be such a monster in this world that can fight against enemy muskets? This kind of monster has long disappeared."
"Yes, Lord Lao Fu, since the monster of the Taiping Army was beaten to death by Western countries, there has been no such monster again." Li Lianying said in a sharp voice.
Cixi nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, please go down to investigate and see what's going on. All the captains must find out who they are and have done such a horrifying thing."
The next day, during the morning court, the court was in full swing.
Now, the Qing Dynasty's control over Beijing is actually just like this.
Ministers from all sides actually knew what happened in the Eastern Qing Tombs.
For a moment, people were in panic.
After a moment, Empress Dowager Cixi sat behind the pearl curtain.
"If you have something to say, you will leave the court without anything to do." Li Lianying stood beside Empress Dowager Cixi and said in a sharp voice.
"Report to the Old Buddha, report to the Empress Dowager." Zuo Zongtang said in a deep voice: "I am angry after hearing what happened in the Eastern Qing Tombs. The Qing Eastern Tombs, which have my ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, were destroyed by a madman today."
"I asked a few people from the Eastern Qing Dynasty tombs and asked Xiang carefully. Then he asked the painter to draw this person according to their statement. You can take a look."
Zuo Zongtang showed up the album.
I saw a young man with a strong sword-browed eyebrows in the picture album.
And everyone couldn't help but take a breath!
It's him!
It's him!
It's him!
He is back!
Li Hongzhang's expression couldn't help but change drastically!
Zeng Guofan also gritted his teeth suddenly!
Aisin Gioro Yixin's face suddenly turned blue.
Emperor Tongzhi's face turned pale.
Li Lianying thought to herself that it was indeed the possibility I thought of yesterday!
Even Cixi couldn't help but scream: "How is it possible? How is it possible? Is this devil, this monster, not dead yet? How can he not die yet!"
Zuo Zongtang nodded heavily: "God of the Lady, there are two possibilities now. First, Westerners can kill this monster at all, but they only hurt this monster. But Westerners can also make money by using this to us."
"Two, the Westerners did kill the monster. But the monster thought he was a god and could be reborn. It took three years to rebirth for the first time. Now it took a year before the Westerners to kill this monster. Perhaps, he could be reborn in one year."
"But anyway, this monster appears again."
In fact, Zuo Zongtang didn't want to say that this was a monster. He wanted to say that it was a god's ability and could be reborn continuously. However, in the Qing court, of course, he could only be called a monster.
Cixi was now in a state of chaos: "How is this good? How is this good? Everyone, what are the solutions?"
"Zuo Zongtang, Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, what about your opinions?" She usually deliberately neglected Zeng Guofan, but now she was in a hurry and asked about Zeng Guofan's opinions.
"First. Why did the young king of the Taiping Army break into the Eastern Tombs of Qing Dynasty? Some people say that he seems to be looking for something. If that is the case, will he go to the Western Tombs of Qing Dynasty? So, I think people should be sent to protect the Western Tombs of Qing Dynasty now."
"Secondly, the people in our army will at most hold the young king of the Taiping Army for a while. It is very difficult to truly defeat him. Therefore, we should also ask for help from the Western countries."
Cixi frowned: "The first question is easy to deal with. There are still 120,000 soldiers and horses near our capital. Then, let's transfer 120,000 and wait, 40,000 soldiers to Qingxi Tombs."
That's right, she wants to protect the Qing Xi Tomb, which is too important for the Qing Dynasty.
But if too many people are transferred to the Qing Xiling, what should we do if the young king of the Taiping Army breaks into the Forbidden City? Usually, there are only 5,000 guards in the Forbidden City. But 5,000 is not safe, so we have to add 50,000 immediately. The city defense also requires people, and people in all aspects need them.
The Qing court originally had hundreds of thousands of troops, and people were not a problem, but muskets were a problem. In recent years, we have bought a lot of muskets and armed forces. So now there are more than 100,000 muskets.
Of course, these troops were not as elite as Zeng Guoquan's soldiers at that time.
"By the way, we should have bought a lot of guns for the West, and we will use them all now."
"As for asking Westerners to deal with the young king of the Taiping Army," Cixi frowned: "Last time, if we wanted to ask Westerners to do it, we would join forces with the Japanese and used 100 million. Now we can't afford 100 million."
"Western people should also know that we can't afford 100 million now. So they should be less, and it is estimated that tens of millions can be done. If it is not enough, we will give the future tariffs of some coastal cities to Westerners." Li Hongzhang said.
“This plan is very good.”
“This plan is very good.”
Cixi nodded: "As long as the Westerners come, the young king of the Taiping Army will have no choice but to do anything even if he has thousands of magical powers."
So far, major events have been agreed upon.
But one by one, his face still looked ugly.
The person they feared the most and feared in the Qing Dynasty was reborn.
...
And the Qing court now has no confidentiality system.
In the morning, I was discussing this major event in the court.
In the afternoon, there were already waves of rhythm in Beijing.
For example, He Xuan went out for lunch at about one o'clock in the afternoon and ordered a braised pork, a Dongpo elbow, a vegetable, and a pot of wine. As soon as he ate, he heard people talking about it.
"Have you heard that the young king of Taiping Army has been reborn again." A wandering son said whispered.
"No, I'm reborn again. He was reborn once the last time and could be reborn. Could it be that he is really a god?" A merchant next to him said in shock.
"I can still lie to you. I am very informed." The wandering son said, "Dongling, have you heard that there is a place where the Holy Ancestor and Gao Zong are buried. There was a place where the Saint-Grand and the Emperor Gao Zong were buried yesterday evening. There were originally three thousand people guarding there. But it is said that they were penetrated by the young king of the Taiping Army alone."
"The skeletons of the Holy Master and Gao Zong, both of them were kicked out by the young king of the Taiping Army, and they were scattered into a pile."
"Fuck, this is so awesome. The young king of Taiping Army is really a god." The person next to him was stunned.
He Xuan listened and took a bite of Dongpo's elbow.
The news is so fast!
