Concerning the safety of Mafa's friends, Shunzhi returned to the palace from Xiyuan that day, and asked Suksaha to immediately send an order to Guangdong, asking Guangdong to send troops to encircle and suppress the Taiping army. Book www.vodtw.com

The decree to send troops was sent to Guangzhou expeditedly for 800 miles. The decree was divided into four copies, one for the Governor of Guangdong Li Suitai, one for the Jingnan General Hamu, and the other two for Pingnan Wang Shangkexi and Jingnan Wang Geng Jimao's.

Shunzhi's tone was lenient when giving orders to Shang Kexi and Geng Jimao, but he gave Li Suotai and Ha Mu's orders harshly, which made Li Suotai and Ha Mu go to the Pingnan Palace immediately after receiving the orders. When the two of them arrived, Geng Jimao, King of Jingnan, was also there, and he wanted to come to Shang Kexi to discuss sending troops.

Li Shuitai opened his mouth and asked directly, without going around in circles, "Two princes, the emperor's will is to let us send troops to destroy the Taiping bandits, but I don't know when the two princes will send troops, and how many troops will be sent?"

Before Shang Kexi spoke, Geng Jimao gave Li Shuitai a cold look, and his nostrils twitched: "The Governor-General said lightly, sending troops to send troops, where did these soldiers come from?"

"King Jingnan, now is not the time to be angry. The emperor's will can be clearly stated. This time, we want the four of us to send troops together, not to suppress the Taiping bandits. The emperor did not deal with me alone, Li Suotai!"

Geng Jimao's attitude annoyed Li Suotai too. It is true that the other party is a Han relative, but he is also a royal family. This kid really thought he was afraid that he would fail!

Li Suotai was angry, but Geng Jimao was not afraid. He was young and arrogant and didn't know how to be a man. Shang Kexi, who was a trickster and slippery, was far from happy.

Geng Jimao sneered and said sarcastically: "Yes, the emperor wants the four of us to send troops together, but as far as this king knows, I am afraid that there are not many troops under the governor's command?"

"There are still more than a thousand brave men in this officer's supervision. If you draw more from the neighboring prefectures and counties, you can always gather three or five thousand soldiers and horses. How can there be no soldiers available?"

when saying this. Li Suotai was a little lacking in confidence. His supervisor originally had more than 2,000 people, and later he was equipped with cavalry and artillery teams. However, in the battle of Lutouhe, both the cavalry and artillery teams were wiped out by the Taiping Bandit. The cavalry team paid it back. The dozens of guns that the artillery team lost and bought from Macau with a lot of money really hurt him.

After Hu Qili was defeated, he did not dare to return to Guangzhou, and went to Shunde to fight against the Eight Banners of Manchu. Although Li Suotai settled the lawsuit, Hu Qili was afraid that he would be liquidated after returning to Guangzhou. So he took the remnants of the governor he brought back to hide in Shunde and refused to come back. Li Ratetai sent a few people to tell him clearly that the governor would not hold him accountable for his defeat, but Hu Qili did not dare to come back.

Later, Zuo Qing, who participated in the political affairs, told Li Suotai in private that the reason why Hu Qili did not dare to come back was not because he was afraid that the Governor-General would punish him, but because he was afraid that the Manchurians would trouble him. The first Han official who dared to say that the Manchurians fled without a fight. After hearing this, Li Suotai sighed and stopped urging Hu Qili to return to Guangzhou.

The Guangzhou Green Camp is a soldier that the Governor Li Suotai can directly hold in his hands. To this end, he invested a lot of money and a lot of hard work in the Guangzhou Green Camp. Unfortunately, with the death of Lin Jinzhong, the Guangzhou Green Camp was completely devoid of vitality. Now it is only relying on the hundreds of battalions who escaped and the new recruits of 2,000. It is possible to defend the city by putting on airs, but it is absolutely impossible to pull it out to fight in the field. That's why Geng Jimao ridiculed him like this.

Li Suotai was angry, but he couldn't refute it, and he was sulking.

Seeing Li Suotai's face turning blue, Geng Jimao smiled proudly, and still sneered: "Three to five thousand people listened to a lot. What might it help? What use can those masters be used for, the Governor-General does this too. It's too much to deal with the emperor's life."

"you!"

Li Suotai was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet. This **** from the Geng family is too outrageous. He swears without revealing his shortcomings.

Li Sutai was so angry that he wanted to stomp his feet. Hahamu's expression became serious, staring at Li Suitai and said, "Guangdong Green Battalion soldiers are all dispatched by your governor's yamen. Why do you still need to use some masters to make up the number of people now?"

Li Suotai said angrily, "I have to ask King Pingnan about this."

"Why did you ask this king?"

Hearing Li Shuitai's bad tone, Shang Kexi moved his beard, laughed, got up and said, "When did this king offend the Governor-General, and want to slap this anger on my head?"

Having said this, Li Suotai simply refused to be hypocritical with Shang Kexi, and blurted out, "Xu Erxian from Zhaoqing, Wu Liu from Chaozhou, I can't change it."

Shang Kexi didn't think that Li Suotai would tear his face in front of Hahamu, and pointed out that Zhaoqing and Chaozhou were the only ones who followed the Pingnan King, his eyebrows darkened instantly, and he said in a sullen voice, "That's right, your lord is the governor. , who have the responsibility to control the green camp, how can they not be mobilized."

Li Shuitai didn't answer this question, and said directly: "King Pingnan, don't tell me it's useless, I just ask you, whether you will send troops or not!"

Li Suotai is really anxious now. If the Council of Ministers of the State Council approves the proposal to transfer Mongolian troops to the south, why would he have to tear his face off the monk Kexi? Now it's better, the emperor did not send more troops to Guangdong, but instead issued a decree to urge the Guangdong horses to destroy the Taiping bandits. He, Li Shuitai, had no troops, so he didn't force Shang Kexi to send troops what he could do to pacify the Taiping bandits.

"out!"

Li Suitai's aggressiveness made Shang Kexi's face sank, and he gritted his teeth: "The emperor ordered this king to send troops, how dare this king not do so, if he really does, this king is not disobeying the decree!" After regaining his temper, he said again with a bit of anger: "Xu Erxian in Zhaoqing has several thousand soldiers, and Wu Liuna in Chaozhou also has several thousand soldiers. Since the Governor said that they only listen to this king, then this king asks them to bring them with him. The soldiers are all coming. Chaozhou is no longer needed, Zhaoqing is no longer required, they are all coming to Guangzhou, this king doesn’t believe it anymore, so many soldiers and horses can’t suppress his thieves and talents!”

"Why did King Pingnan say such angry words!"

Li Suotai calmed down, knowing that Shang Kexi was taking anger with him, he waved his hand, his momentum was much weaker, and said softly: "My lord only needs him to send some troops and horses to come here, so why not? The whole army is here."

Shang Kexi snorted and didn't speak. He was also angry. If he really wanted to transfer troops from Chaozhou and Zhaoqing, the city of Guangzhou would not be guaranteed.

Geng Jimao pouted, and he was quite envious of Shang Kexi. Wu Liu from Chaozhou and Xu Erxian from Zhaoqing each had thousands of elite soldiers. If these two were willing to listen to him, King Jingnan, why would he stay in Guangzhou City? Li and Shang Kexi and Li Suotai were angry.

Haha Mu has been in Guangzhou for so long, and of course he knows that Governor Li Suotai is at odds with the two Han Fans. He intends to reconcile. It's not a fight of wills here.

"Okay, stop arguing. For the past two months, I've been thinking of sending troops to exterminate the Taiping bandits and revenge for Tayinbu by killing the thief, but the weather is so hot that the Manchu children can't move. The emperor wants us to suppress the Taiping bandits first. Then all the Manchu sons under my command will go. This time I will bring all four cattle records, and I will lead the soldiers myself. Let’s see how capable that thief show is.”

Hearing that Haha Mu was going to lead the army in person, Li Ruitai was overjoyed and said, "With General Jingnan going to the battle in person, the fall of the Taiping bandits is imminent!"

"Since the generals of Jingnan have to lead the army in person, then this king has nothing to say. I will send 2,000 troops under the banner of the king's vassal. In addition, I will transfer troops from Zhaoqing and Chaozhou, so why should I gather 5,000 troops, so that no one thinks that this king is self-respecting? .Refused to contribute to the court."

In fact, after receiving the imperial decree, Shang Kexi knew that he would definitely send troops. Even if there was no imperial decree from Beijing, he would send troops to destroy the Taiping army in Xiangshan, otherwise his hands and feet would be completely tied and he would not be able to free up his strength to move west. .

The great merit of destroying a country is rare in a thousand years!

Originally, Shang Kexi wanted to express his position later, but now he has to express it immediately. Otherwise, Haha Mu really doubted whether he really supported his troops and refused to contribute to the court.

"However, the Sanjiangkou side still needs troops and horses to support it, so this king must keep some troops and horses, so as not to lose Sanjiangkou." Shang Kexi glanced at Li Suotai, saw that the other party's face was loosened, and knew his own position. effect.

"That's natural."

Lee So-Tae nodded. His anger towards Shang Kexi really dissipated. The soldiers and horses at Sanjiangkou had to guard against the Xinhui Ming army. Of course, they could not move. Otherwise, Chen Ce and Zhu Tong of Xinhui would occupy the Sanjiangkou. What Guangzhou had to do was not to deploy troops to fight the Taiping army, but to stay in the city and stand firm.

Hahamu personally led the army and dispatched all the Manchu Niu Lu, and Shang Kexi also dispatched 2,000 soldiers from his own family. In addition, they have to transfer troops from Zhaoqing and Chaozhou. The posture is definitely enough. No one can say what he is about the King of Pingnan. Now it is up to Geng Jimao, the King of Jingnan.

Hahamu looked at Geng Jimao with awe, Shang Kexi just looked at him as usual, and Li Suotai still had a look. He was not angry, but he couldn't swallow Geng Jimao's breath. Some asshole.

Being watched by the three of them, Geng Jimao couldn't sit still, he got up and came to Hahamu, looked at Shang Kexi, then looked at Li Suotai, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "King Pingnan is getting old, It is up to us juniors to send troops to fight, so this king decided to lead the army in person this time."

Li Suotai let out an "ah" and looked at Geng Jimao in disbelief: "King Jingnan also leads the army himself?"

"This king came from the vassal, and he has never achieved military merit. If this continues, won't it make outsiders laugh at our Geng family's absence? This time, a few Niu Lu Han troops from my vassal will go."

Li Suotai's surprise made Geng Jimao very satisfied, what he wanted was this effect.

Li Suotai was silent, Shang Kexi also looked at this nephew with a look he had never seen before, Haha Mu laughed: "Taiping bandits are like rogues, they mostly coerce the people to strengthen themselves, such bandit army If you are fierce, you will be fierce, but once you get frustrated, you will have no strength to fight again. This time when my army is overwhelmed, that thief Xiu Cai really has three heads and six arms and can't escape."

Shang Kexi ordered someone to fetch a map and signaled the three to come together to see it, he said, "This king has just discussed with the King of Jingnan, if the troops are enough, we will divide the troops into three routes, and take Shunde to go straight to Zhirenhoudu, Xiangshan County, left. Lu took Panyu and went straight to Liangzidu to join Lu, while the right road followed Longyandu and marched into the former cottage, so the Taiping bandits were difficult to care about and lost. After Lu and Zulu took Xiangshan County, they moved forward together Shanzhai marches, so Taiping bandits will not be able to escape."

Haha Mu looked closely, nodded for a moment and said, "Yiping Nan Wang, I will lead Manzhou Erlang as the way."

Geng Jimao felt that it would be easier to walk this road with good characters, so he said, "Since the general is leading the soldiers of Manchuria on a walk, then this king will lead his troops to the left."

In this way, the rest of the right-hand side is naturally rejoicing, he smiled and had no objection. Li Suotai's subordinate battalion was not strong enough, and after deliberation, he returned to Hahamu for dispatch.

After deciding to send troops on three routes, Li Suotai, Hahamu, and Geng Jimao said goodbye to Shang Kexi and went to prepare for sending troops. After the three of them left, Shang Kexi called Ban Zhifu, who was away, and instructed him, "Go to Zhaoqing, and ask Xu Erxian to send 2,000 soldiers to Guangzhou."

Ban Zhifu asked, "Do you want Xu Erxian to come too?"

Shang Kexi shook his head and said, "No, Zhaoqing has to have a general in charge, so there can't be any accidents." After thinking about it, he said, "Let that Tang Sanshui lead the troops, this person has fought against Taiping bandits, and even recaptured Luoding City from them. , it won't be too bad if you think about it."

Ban Zhifu nodded and agreed, and was about to leave for Zhaoqing, but Shang Kexi stopped him again: "Also send someone to Chaozhou."

Ban Zhifu wondered: "The soldiers in Chaozhou will also be transferred?"

"Chaozhou can't be adjusted, Xiamen Zheng's has always been eyeing the Chaoshan area, and he can't let him take advantage of it."

"Then what does the lord want Wu Liu to do?"

"Let him transfer all the sailors to Guangzhou. The Sanjiangkou can't be pressed by the Ming army's sailors~www.NovelMTL.com~ Okay, I will send someone to do it."

Shang Kexi nodded, and Ban Zhifu left immediately. After he left, Shang Kexi was hesitating whether to send Shizizhixin to lead the troops this time.

......

"The lord is back!"

In the Jingnan palace, once Geng Jimao came back, the second manager Xiang Rong was busy leading people to wait on him.

"Yeah." Geng Jimao responded casually, and ordered, "Go get some food, this king is hungry."

"Hey!"

Xiang Rong hurriedly ordered his servants to get food, Geng Jimao sat down a little tired, looked at Xiang Rong, and said to him: "Go and tell Fu Jin, this king will lead the army to fight the Taiping bandits in a few days. , let him prepare some clothes for this king to change. In addition, this king is not staying in the house these days, and this king is going to live in the military camp."

"Fight the Taiping Bandit?"

Xiang Rong was stunned for a moment, and said in surprise: "Let the generals of the vassal go to war, why does the lord want to lead the army in person?"

"Hmph, to whom? Do you want this king to lose another Niu Lu?"

Thinking that his brother-in-law Wang Shude's incompetence caused a Niu Lu 400 fire guns to fall into the hands of the Taiping army, Geng Jimao was in a rage. This time he was going to lead the army in person, not only to prove his ability to outsiders, but more importantly, he I can't trust the people under the vassal. If I give another one or two cattle records, he will not be able to sleep the king of Jingnan. He is not so happy that his family has a great career, and I don't have much money left for him, so he can't stand the loss. .

Seeing Xiang Rong still standing there, Geng Jimao urged, "Why are you still standing here, go quickly."

"Hey, the slave is here."

Xiang Rong refused to agree, and hurriedly backed out to find Fu Jin, but this road was very complicated. (To be continued.)
