"Shaoquan thinks what should our Hunan Army go in the future?" Jiushuai did not answer Li Hongzhang's question positively, but instead shifted the topic to another track. This question made Li Hongzhang stunned. "Where is going to go? Our Hunan Army destroyed Changmao, and the Pingnian Army was our Qing Dynasty's top-notch strong army. If there are no unjust people in the future, kill them. If there are no unjust people..."

The more Li Hongzhang spoke, the lower his voice became, and in the end he could not continue. Li Hongzhang was not a fool, and he was nearly forty years old now, and he was not a hot-blooded young man. He just didn't want to think about some things, which did not mean that he didn't understand them.

The commander who had been fighting with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for more than ten years can be said to have experienced many battles. Why did he fight against a small Nian Army in rebellion? Is it really the commander's sword old? The answer is definitely no. Although the Nian Army gathered hundreds of thousands of dollars, it has no food and grass, no weapons, no weapons, and no base, it is just a group of bandits that are holding the people, which is completely incomparable to the Kingdom of Heaven.

But this bandit has been scattered to the north for more than ten years. Even this year, even the famous monk Senggelinqin, the Nian Army, died in battle at the hands of the Nian Army. The secret here is not worth telling by outsiders.

Li Hongzhang once speculated more than once that the teacher had always used the method of raising the bandits to respect themselves, but because of his respect for the teacher, he would severely dispel him whenever he had such an idea in his heart. In Li Hongzhang's eyes, the teacher was the white jade pillar of the Qing Dynasty, and the purple gold beam of the sea was built. No stain should appear on the teacher.

But today, the strange atmosphere in the study made Li Hongzhang think of the speculation that he had been denied. Zeng Guofan twisted his beard with his hand as if he had seen through the heart of the apprentice, and he said calmly.

"The Hunan Army has 500,000 soldiers so far, and the actual control area is spread throughout the Yangtze River. Even foreigners who want to do business on both sides of the Yangtze River must be polite to us. Such a huge force is no longer my own..."

"Shaoquan, do you really think I, Zeng Guofan, can be in the Hunan Army, do you really think I am the local emperor here? To use the saying of the people of the capital, you are the oil shuttles that turn white and short-term."

Zeng Guofan savored the best big red sack in the cover bowl. This was the tender buds that his subordinates personally entered Wuyi Mountain and stepped on from half of the tea tree struck by lightning. This was the top big red sack that even the emperor and the queen mother in the Forbidden City could not taste.

"What does 500,000 Hunan Army mean? It means that tens of thousands of civil and military officials and 500,000 families are all supported by this group. You Shaoquan want to eat meat, beauties, and other brothers want to eat meat and marry a wife. So where does the money come from? Rely on the court? Rely on the war? Let's stop dreaming..."

"Shaoquan, everyone says it's difficult to go up the mountain, but do you know how difficult it is to go down the mountain? So many brothers gathered with me, and now they have at least had no worries about food and clothing. I really want to take a step back, but I have retreated with my wealth. How can these brothers protect their jobs? Shaoquan, do you have a clever plan to teach me..."

At this time, Li Hongzhang's whole body was covered in sweat. This was the most heart-to-heart talk that the master had with him in the past three years, and he was extremely straightforward.

"If nothing unexpected happens, after this Ping Nian, the actual position given to me by the court should be the governor of Zhili, and I have to sit in Beijing all year round. To put it bluntly, I am being taken care of. I don't care. Over the years, I have countless gold and silver fertile land, and I don't have to worry about my descendants for three generations, but what about you?"

"The 500,000 Hunan Army will be dismantled bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit by bit, and will be stuffed into every corner of the southeast, southwest and northwest, so that the wind swords and snow swords on the frontier will be wiped out the spirit of the brothers little by bit, and time will slowly consume the lives of a good man. If there are a few more wars, it will be even better. How many times can our Hunan Army's foundation be wiped out?"

At this time, Li Hongzhang's eyes were red, and big tears fell. It took more than ten years for the 500,000 Hunan troops to gather together. The brothers served rice in a pot and fought in a camp, struggling in the wind and rain, and galloping across half of the south of the Yangtze River in blood. It can be said that they were a group that was built with their lives.

Although there were conflicts between them, and although they had violent conflicts over uneven distribution of spoils, when they encountered threats from outside, they immediately thought of collective interests. Under the suppression of the Manchus for two hundred years, the Han people finally had such an armed force. This is the foundation of balancing the court and the lifeblood of the revival of the Han people! How could this be lost?

Li Hongzhang knelt down on the ground, "Master... Please teach me!" Jiushuai quickly helped him up as soon as he saw it, "Shaoquan, didn't you hear what Dashuai said, "If it's if it's not an accident, our Hunan Army will be in danger, but now this accident occurs?"

"Is it Xiao Letian? Is this accident Xiao Letian?" Li Hongzhang didn't expect that the teacher looked at Xiao Letian so well.

"That's right, it's this Xiao Letian. You have also read the information. This Xiao Letian has actually put down the rebellion of a country. Three thousand Japanese troops and one hundred thousand Japanese thugs were asked to destroy him. He even led the way into Shuri City and controlled the Ryukyu King. Talent, and it was really cruel..."

"What surprised me the most was that he could actually get foreigners to fire and support him. This is really intriguing. What collusion does Xiao Letian have with foreign devils? This is something that I can't even understand..." Zeng Guofan walked around the room excitedly.

"Xiao Letian is very smart. He has controlled the Ryukyu court through the new army. I can believe that after a while, the letter of the Ryukyu Kingdom must have followed Xiao Letian's words. This conflict must be reduced and smaller. That nerdy guy knows how to pretend to be in front of Man Qing..."

"Look at the various responses between the Empress Dowager and the Japanese Six during this period. They gave women and called the Eight Banners Son-in-law. There were so many things that were given to them. This shows that there was no idea what happened in Ryukyu in the imperial city. They were all fooled by Xiao Letian's tricks."

"Shaoquan, this is a good opportunity given to us by God. With such a foolish young man standing in front of us, how much leisure do you have in the court to deal with us?"

Now even Li Hongzhang figured it out and roared, "The teacher is really a clever plan. He used Xiao Letian to steadily pull the court's attention, and occasionally revealed a little secret on Xiao Letian from time to time, and always hold the hearts of the dandy people in Sijiu City, so that they don't have the energy to think about us?"

"A clever plan, a clever plan. As long as Xiao Letian keeps secrets, as long as his threat value increases, he will naturally block bullets for our Hunan Army... Haha, as long as we have ten years of operation, the Yangtze River will become our iron barrel-like back garden, and even the emperor will find it difficult to interfere!"

Zeng Guofan looked at Li Hongzhang with gratitude. This was his favorite disciple. He was the successor he looked for in his heart. There was no other person in the Hunan Army except Shaoquan who could take over. This is the talent.

But when he thought of the word "talent", Xiao Letian's name suddenly jumped into his mind. This man who suddenly appeared like a comet was really too mysterious. The so-called abnormality is a monster. This Xiao Letian is really a monster like a monkey. When he suddenly appeared, he used evil tricks, and there was no way to explore his way.

"Guoquan, I have to spend this year's Spring Festival in the capital no matter what. You can arrange it when the time comes. I want to meet this Xiao Letian. This is not an ordinary thing!" Zeng Guofan looked at Li Hongzhang who was gradually moving away and suddenly whispered to his brother.

Jiu Shuai suddenly looked a little strange at this time. He hesitated for a long time before he spoke, "Brother, we Han people have been suppressing the Manchus for two hundred years. Now we have finally made it out, so why should we be so cautious? I have seen Xiao Letian several times. Although the origin is unknown, it is definitely Han people who are not wrong at all..."

"A Han man who returned from overseas can create such a career is already considered a genius among geniuses. If it is destroyed in the hands of the Manchus, it would be a pity... Brother, can we try to subdue him? If there is such a talent in the Hunan Army..."

"Enough, don't say it!" Zeng Guofan suddenly became angry. "You have repeatedly suggested that you just want me to take another step? Suppress Xiao Letian? You don't think about it. If you dare to accept him, the city of Beijing will collapse. Do you want to have another ten or twenty years of civil war?"

Zeng Guofan looked at his brother's dissatisfaction expression and sighed, "Guoquan, Guoquan, you still can't see through the world. The evolution of dynasties has not been achieved overnight. Have you ever heard such a small story?"

"When the Eight Banners entered the pass, they implemented the cool politics of keeping their heads but not their hair. All men had to keep money and rat tails and not kill them. That is, after the forced promotion of the shaving order, the ten-day war in Jiangyin was launched. For this braid, there were more than one million people killed. At that time, when North Korea, Ryukyu envoys came to Beijing to worship, the old men on the streets burst into tears when they saw their homeland. That was the style of clothes left by their ancestors!"

"After only a hundred years passed, when Emperor Qianlong was in power, unofficial history recorded that the envoys of Ryukyu entered the capital, and the people surrounded them and laughed at them for their strange clothes. At this time, the Han people had long forgotten the clothes of their ancestors. Until now, even you and I have been used to dragging this long braid, let alone those fools?"

Zeng Guofan pulled the braid behind him and said self-deprecatingly, "Don't look at this braid as small as it is. It represents the hearts of the people. If I really took that step, how many people would follow me?"

Jiushuai was already stunned. This was the first time that the elder brother responded to the rebellion head-on. Zeng Guoquan did not expect that the elder brother was not brave, but was thinking much deeper than him.

"My good brother, if I really rebel, I'm sure that at least 300% of the 500,000 brothers would rebel at least 30%. And the whole world would not regard me as a hero, but would think it was an enemy. The people who ruled for two hundred years had long been accustomed to the existence of the Qing court. Before you want to rebel, think about how to change the hearts of all people!"

"You and I include all the Han people who lived in the Qing Dynasty. What they saw from the opening of their eyes was the sky of the Qing Dynasty, the land of the Qing Dynasty, the clothes of the Qing Dynasty, and the emperor of the Qing Dynasty. Everything does not matter to be favors, but just habits, but don't forget that the power of habits is extremely powerful..."

"Unless you have the cruelty when Manchu enters the pass, kill all the disobedient people, kill the land of the Central Plains into a piece of white paper, and then draw it again. Otherwise, you have to bow to the habit, and the power of this habit is actually luck. Is the luck of Manchu Qing really gone now?"

Both old brothers were silent. Jiushuai was digesting the truth that his brother said, while his brother drank the top-notch Dahongpao to relieve his mood. But just when Zeng Guofan thought his younger brother was convinced, Jiushuai suddenly looked up and stared at his brother with bright eyes.

"Brother, I can't refute what you said, but you seem to have missed an exception? That's Xiao Letian... This guy has never seen the sky of the Qing Dynasty, the land of the Qing Dynasty, and he has not seen the clothes of the Qing Dynasty. He has not been used to having a man above his head as the emperor. In the past year, I have not found any of his attempts to surrender to his habits."

"Hahaha, brother, the chess game you deduced is missing such an orphan!"

Jiushuai's laughter made Zeng Guofan's hand shake, and a bowl of big red robe was scattered on the table. He didn't feel the pain even when the hot tea fell on the back of his hand. Yes, my brother was right. Xiao Letian didn't have a braid, nor did he have a braid in his heart. The solitaire in the East Asian chess game has affected the national destiny of Japan and Ryukyu.

"Could it be? Could it be that Xiao Letian has a great way to turn his luck around?" Zeng Guofan didn't dare to think down, and at this moment, a violent northwest wind suddenly blew outside the window, and the cold air flow pushed open the door of the study, and the inside and outside the house were cold.
