Daming: Lend the system to Emperor Hongwu at the beginning

Chapter 88 Zeng Guofan

"His Royal Highness, we are all rude, and we don't talk too much!"

"We all have an inseparable feud with the Qing Dynasty and the foreigners. Whether you really want to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, as long as you can fight the Qing Dynasty and the foreign devils, let us do anything!"

A very strong and strong man in the lead was the first to speak.

"it is good!"

"readily!"

Zhu Biao nodded, stood up and said, "Would you mind showing off the strength of your ghost hunters?"

"I'm just stronger!" The strong man nodded, without waiting for Zhu Biao to say anything else, he roared, and the black air swelled behind him, and his whole body suddenly swelled up in a circle. He looked around and found that there was nothing to beat. , and finally he chose the ground.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

With seven punches in a row, a big hole was punched out on the ground.

"I'm the most powerful." He wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This guy is really a bit of a tiger!" Zhu Biao thought.

Seeing that Zhu Biao didn't speak, the strong man hesitated for a while before explaining: "Actually, the strength can be added, but if you add more, it will consume life."

"That's it!" Zhu Biao waved his hand hurriedly.

"This person's strength has obviously reached the level of an ordinary Xiantian realm powerhouse, but his speed and reaction can't keep up. He can kill Huajin, but he will die when he encounters Xiantian realm." Zhu Biao gave his evaluation.

Zhu Biao looked at another person.

Soon he also showed his abilities.

This person's ghost is called a paper ghost, and he can control a paper figurine equivalent to Rongjinjing to fight.

In theory, the paper figurines he can control are unlimited, but once there are more than seven, he will also have to pay the price of life yuan.

"Why do I feel that the extraordinary people in this world are a little weird!"

"It feels like those ghosts and gods are tempting the host to exchange Shouyuan for power?" After these people retire, Zhu Biao couldn't help but wondered at Zhang Sanfeng next to him.

"Maybe those ghosts and gods are the real supernatural things, and humans are just their containers!"

"To be honest, I'm more interested in those illusory ghosts and gods now. If I can catch two and bring them back to fuse with the spiritual energy, I don't know what it will be like?" Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and said thoughtfully.

"This is a direction that can be studied!"

"You can catch two ghosts and gods and bring them to the Academy of Sciences!" Zhu Biao also agreed with this matter.

Anyway, now the Academy of Sciences has begun to study even talisman and magic, and it seems reasonable to study ghosts and gods.

No, it should be said to be very scientific...

Just when countless people who were still attached to Daming were gathering in Guangdong from all directions, the other side of the imperial capital, Emperor Xianfeng, was urgently summoning ministers to discuss plans to deal with the civil unrest in various places.

If Emperor Xianfeng were to rank the rebels of all sizes in the country as a threat to the Qing Dynasty, the Nian army closest to the imperial capital would be the least threatening, because they were uprisings led by some big landlords and big gentry. What a great deal.

Now several provinces have been destroyed, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is attacking Nanjing, is the second place, because they are a peasant uprising and their destructive power is too great.

And if it is said that the most disturbing thing for Emperor Xianfeng to sleep and eat, it is the hypocrisy entrenched in Guangdong.

Even though Zhu Hongwu, who is known as the resurrection of the Great Emperor Hongwu, has not moved for nearly a year since he occupied Guangdong, the name alone made his eyelids jump and his neck became cold.

And just as uneasy as him is the civil and military affairs of the Manchu Dynasty.

Because they were all local gentry, Zhu Yuanzhang's mad killing of [-]% of the gentry in Guangdong also stimulated them.

Everyone understands that this person will be our common mortal enemy.

If he is allowed to sit, the consequences will be unimaginable.

But after discussing and discussing, everyone found a very embarrassing situation. If you want to fight the hypocrisy in Guangdong, you must first eliminate the Nian Army and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But now both the Taiping Army and the Nian Army are on the verge of breaking through the city one after another, what will the court use to fight?
"Your Majesty, this minister has two strategies to keep the world safe!" Zeng Guofan, who is currently the right servant of the Ministry of War, came out and knelt on the ground respectfully.

"Speak!" Emperor Xianfeng said eagerly.

"First, allow local gentry to supervise group training, completely open up the scale, assist the Eight Banners and Green Battalion in encircling the Taiping Army and the Nian Army, and second, send envoys to Hong Kong, and ask foreigners to take action to destroy the Guangdong puppets."

As soon as he said these words, the entire court suddenly became quiet, and everyone was secretly observing the Emperor Xianfeng on the dragon chair.

Decentralizing power and allowing local gentry to supervise group training actually started as early as the Jiaqing Dynasty, but it was only on a small scale, and the Eight Banners and Green Battalions stationed in various places at that time could be used, and the situation could be controlled.

But now nearly a hundred years later, the situation is different.

It can be seen from this time that the Taiping Army relied on a group of peasants with cold weapons to kill all the way from Guangxi to Nanjing. Although the Eight Banners and the Green Battalion were better equipped, they were really unbearable.

If at this time, the scale of the gentry to supervise the group training will be increased, it will undoubtedly increase the local power, and even become a big problem.

This is obvious to anyone with eyesight.

But now there are only two paths in front of Emperor Xianfeng. Delegating power to the gentry, maybe the Qing Dynasty can continue to survive for a while. If Emperor Chongzhen of the Ming Dynasty has been holding on tightly to power, he is afraid that he will die immediately.

Therefore, after struggling for a while in his heart, he finally gritted his teeth and said loudly: "The first rule is right."

"As for the second item, I also agree, but the British are domineering. Who should be sent to negotiate with them?"

Unlike the first item, which is difficult to choose, it is much easier to go to Hong Kong to negotiate with foreigners. After all, after the Opium War was fought, the Qing Dynasty had already been pressed on the floor by foreigners and rubbed hard once. Don't mind a little twist.

"My old mother is newly mourned, and I request to return to my hometown for the mourning."

"This is an important matter of the imperial court, and the minister dare not say much." Zeng Guofan was the first to speak.

"Old Fox!"

"It's really a filial son!" Countless people in the courtroom sounded one after another in their hearts.

This Zeng Guofan obviously wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to go to the funeral and go home to supervise the group training.

As for negotiating with the British and letting the British go to Guangdong, relying on the shrewdness of the British, the people who go there will definitely sign a treaty of betrayal and be nailed to the pillar of historical shame. How could old fox Zeng do such a thing .

Of course, such words cannot be said. After all, people's funerals occupy the righteousness, how can they object?

Emperor Xianfeng actually understood the old guy's mind, and was very tired of it.

But there is no way. Zeng Guofan was born in a large landlord family in Hunan, and he has a very deep influence in the two lakes. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is now the most noisy in Hunan and Hubei. It is really necessary to organize group training and besiege the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"That's it!"

"However, you can go to the funeral, but the group training must also be handled by me, and the rebels of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be handed over to you to destroy, understand?" Emperor Xianfeng was upset, and his tone naturally seemed a little stiff.

"The minister obeys the order!"

Zeng Guofan's face was miserable, but his heart was already happy.
