late Qing Dynasty arrest

Chapter 542 Greeting Marshal Zuo

The horse-drawn carriages are clanging, a large army is marching towards Yan'an, this large army is not moving fast, the flag of Zuo in the wind is waving in the morning light Zuo Zongtang arrived in Yan'an area six days later than originally scheduled, because Yan'an was successfully recovered Let him have room for maneuver to arrange the entire battle layout

Zuo Zongtang is good at strategic deployment. Although he was surprised by the rebellion of the Gelaohui in Yan'an, he quickly made a strategic adjustment and decided to eliminate this rebel army that is not yet strong. The Han people's rebellion is more destructive than the Hui people. Another Taiping army commander came to Yan'an. The Qing army was able to recover this strategically important Yan'an area so quickly. The stone in Zuo Zongtang's heart fell to the ground. Looking at the name of Li Guolou on the file, he felt a little kind for the first time. Unexpectedly. The famous escort turned out to be a man who knew soldiers

After Zuo Zongtang got the news that Liu Jintang and Yu Enhu split up to guard Lazikou and Minzhou Fucheng, he almost fell into the rebel army. This is an insurgent army that has no room for development in the Shaanxi-Gansu area. Lei Heng must want to jump out. The encirclement of the Qing army, Liu Jintang has this kind of strategic vision, which can be used to great advantage. From now on, Zuo Zongtang will train Liu Jintang as his successor.

One thing can change a person's life. Li Guolou is not greedy for merit, nor likes to brag. He has never said that Lazikou is a hidden danger he discovered. Liu Jintang is a general with a thick skin. Zikou's mission was just like this, and he never said the truth about it. The Battle of Lazikou became the starting point of Liu Jintang's brilliant life.

Huang Ding and Li Guolou led the officials of Yan'an City to welcome the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu Province Zuo Zongtang ten miles out of the city. Standing carefully in the officer's uniform, he caressed the carefully groomed three-strand beard and peeped at the expressions of the two officers [

Although Lan Mingtai was born as a swordsman, he still knew that his official hat was not stable yet, so he dared not stand side by side beside Huang Ding and Li Guolou, stepping back a little to let Lan Mingtai know his strength. The lack is Huang Ding's recommendation. He is so grateful for his benefactor, Huang Ding. The idea of ​​public security and defense in Yan'an has been praised by Huang Ding and Li Guolou, which makes him feel that he has a place to play. Lan Mingtai stayed up all night, his eyes were red and swollen, he was under too much pressure, his official position was as big as Cui Wei's, and he was determined to wipe out all the Muslim guerrillas and bandits in Yan'an area. He wanted to use the blood of the enemy to dye Dai Hualing red.

Looking for something to say, Lan Mingtai asked: "You two adults, is there anything special about meeting Marshal Zuo?"

Huang Ding slowly frowned and said: "Well... Zuo Dashuai is arrogant, Lan Xundao should be more careful when speaking, Zuo Dashuai doesn't ask you, so don't open your mouth."

"Oh, I understand." Lan Mingtai hated the official etiquette of the Qing Dynasty and felt it was too cumbersome, but the scenery when people with lower official positions met him is still fresh in his memory. When the adults leave the yellow land of Yan'an, he will be Heavenly King Lao Tzu can only endure the torment now, lowering his brows and keeping silent

During the war years, all official ceremonies and music were exempted, but people still had to go out of the city ten miles to greet Li Guolou and Zuo Zongtang once. Although they didn't say a few words, they are not strangers to each other. Such a young official in the court is not a royal family, and there is only Xinke Tanhualang in the world. The dust billowing in the distance of Li Guolou Huang Yun said happily: "Master Zuo is here." Lan Xundao, don’t forget that after tree planting next spring, willows and elms will be planted from here to Yan’an City, so don’t mess around with them. Planting trees now is called Zuogong willow, do you remember?”

"Oh, it won't grow, my officer understands." Lan Mingtai scratched his head. He didn't know anything about farming, and he had no energy in planting trees. He waved his hand and asked a teacher behind him to write it down in the notebook. Anyway, the officer followed Zuo Gongliu's instructions. But don't forget to plant trees in the coming year

The people who followed Lan Mingtai were Dawazi Yang, Mu San, and An Jie. Among them, Anjie was gloating that his injuries were almost healed. Now Dawazi Yang was unlucky, with a bandage on his head, pale and sickly face. Ugliness full of suspicion

An Jie pretended to be concerned: "Yang Da, can you take it? If you can't take it, go sit for a while first."

Dawazi Yang is a delicate person. If he had the opportunity to get close to Zuo Zongtang, he would not leave at this time. He said unmoved: "Don't worry, Anying officer, this little injury is nothing. The last time I got married with an injury, I will still get the girls tonight. Master Li is my witness"

Li Guolou's ears are good, he turned around and said: "Yang Da hurt his head this time, so he should be quiet at night and don't mess around."

Li Guolou is not good at explaining that the day he invaded Yan'an City, Mu San's department was still the same old problem. He took advantage of the fire to rob and search for beauties. He didn't have time to take care of it, but he had to ring the alarm bell a few times. On the right track, the "chaos" that happened in Yan'an City were all caused by the Gelaohui's rebellion against the army, and they wanted to disassociate themselves from the Qing army

Mu San's head was so smooth that he immediately heard Li Guolou's subtext and hurriedly confessed: "My lords, please rest assured that our army is strictly disciplined and has never committed any crime against the people. Those who attacked the granary never blamed the looting. The food is cheap. They just ask. They returned the weapon "medicine""

"There is still a big search, otherwise there will be poor blue roads. The people in the city can't relax for a moment." Huang Ding dares to let the people in Yan'an City line the streets to welcome Zuo Zongtang. Now that the city has a curfew, people who walk on the street will be punished at any time. The patrol team of the Qing soldiers also specially organized female members to search those female civilians.

"It's because the subordinates understand that even if they dig three feet into the ground, the factors of instability must be eliminated." Lan Mingtai glared at An Jie fiercely and told him not to add "chaos". Handbook standing in the sequence

An Jie swallowed his anger and limped back to the last seat. He is already crippled. Although he can retire from the army as a lieutenant general so that his son can have sex in the future, he can't be an official in the future. His son is too young and can only rely on Lan Mingtai's protection. A little business, but Yang Dawazi and Mu San have a bright future Anjie is very disappointed. Looking at Li Guolou's back, his mouth is full of hatred. He only hates being maimed by Li Ziying's artillery, and he can't blame Li Guolou. He only blames himself for having eyes. Nothing to compete with more than 100 cannons

The army of yellow dust flew to the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu Zuo Zongtang, the admiral of Guyuan Lei Zhengwan, and the inspector Liu Dian of Gansu came out of the carriage and was introduced by Huang Ding to greet each other, after a few hot soups and snacks. Go straight to Yan'an City, this is a simple ceremony, pay attention to the official etiquette, and even set up a banquet, drink three bowls of wind wine first

Because of Zuo Zongtang’s poor health, he suffered from stomach problems for many years. Zuo Zongtang’s car has a single shaft and two wheels. It is a car bestowed by Emperor Tongzhi. The five-point upper plate is flat, the front and rear car lattices, the goose wings, and the four hanging ruyi drop bead boards. The two lower shafts are all vermilion lacquer, and each is [-] feet, [-] feet, [-] inches long. The red oil elephant is built on a flat plate with pan skin, and the lower compartment is surrounded by vermilion lacquer. There are twelve compartments on each side. The interior is painted with gold and painted with greenery. Six animals are lin, lion, rhinoceros, elephant, horse, and deer; [-]. There are fenders on the left and right of the crane plate. There are two through shafts. Each wheel has eighteen spokes. The rims are all vermilion lacquer and gold-coated copper, and the blades are nailed. The height is six feet, seven inches, nine minutes and four columns. The length is five feet, eight inches and four minutes. The left and right doors are each [-] feet [-] inches and [-] minutes wide. The front and left and right sides each have vermilion lacquer fans. The second rear is a vermilion lacquer screen carved with agarwood "color" and gold Yunlong. The five pavilions are equipped with vermilion lacquer soft seats and flowers Blankets, brocade mattresses and other vermilion lacquered chairs, a backrest carved with agarwood "color" and painted with golden clouds and dragons, with green qi edge vermilion curtains on the outside, eleven scorpions and a disc three feet one minute top with an overturned lotus seat one foot two inches high The pavilion is divided into green decorations and covered with gold buckets around the inside and arched with vermilion lacquer. Behind the two railings is a railing with left and right corners. The front and rear railings have a total of twelve columns. The heads of each column are carved with wood and pasted with gold squatting dragons. The dragon is magnificent and exquisite. It is one level lower than the emperor's jade chariot. It is also the emperor's chariot.

It can be seen how much the Qing royal family trusted Zuo Zongtang and rewarded him with the emperor's special carriage to sit in the world. Not to mention that he is in poor health and has been plagued by illness for some years. The most important thing is that Zuo Zongtang knows how to avoid suspicion. None of his three sons leads the army, so the courtiers want to speak ill of him, but they can't find a valid reason.

Once upon a time, Zuo Zongtang also asked Zeng Guofan to ask his mentor Zeng Guofan not to disband the Hunan Army. He was willing to lead the Chu army to rebel against the Qing Dynasty and help the Han Dynasty, but Zeng Guofan refused to rebel. Instead, the relationship with Zuo Zongtang cracked over time. Zuo Zongtang became the governor of Fujian and became a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty through and through.

Zuo Zongtang's carriage is tall and tall, and he can see the small mountains at a glance. Sitting in the carriage, he turns his head and secretly peeks at the carriage behind him and the behavior of officials, big and small.

Senior officials all have carriages and follow behind Zuo Zongtang's carriage. Except for Li Guolou who rides on horseback, he will not carry the flag for Zuo Zongtang. He follows the carriage very low-key and mixes with a group of Goshhas.

The flags, banners and ceremonial guards around are colorful and extremely gorgeous. Canopy, holding fan, peacock and pheasant tail, phoenix and phoenix are all available.

Xinfan, Jiangyin, Baowei, and Longshougan have four respectively called Jiaoxiaobiao Festival Banner, Ming Xingbi Jiao Banner, Xingqing Shihui Banner, Qigong Huaiyuan Banner, Zhenwu Banner, Fuwen Banner, Nayan Banner and Jinshan Banner form a group of eight

Big banners: Eight banners and twelve big banners, Habayashi big banners, Qianfeng big banners, five "color" big banners, big banners with opposite patterns, so densely packed that you can't see the end at a glance

Banner: The patterns of auspicious birds are Yifeng, Luan, Crane, Peacock, Yellow Swan, White Pheasant, Red Bird, Huachong, Zhenlu and Mingyuan. The patterns of spiritual animals are Youlin, Colorful Lion, White Ze, Duan, Red Bear, Yellow Bear, Evil, Rhinoceros, Tianma, Tianlu

Other ritual and music ornaments such as Jing, Jin Yue, Xing, lying melon, standing melon, red stirrup, golden drum, flute, gong, and copper horn are magnificent and dizzying.

The long procession marched all the way, and the common people were not allowed to get close to the force. The strong and powerful Qing army was full of majesty. I don’t know who chewed their tongues and told Zuo Zongtang that Li Guolou was riding behind the formation. In the guard of honor, I heard that Li Guolou used to hold the flag for the empress dowagers of the two palaces, and when I saw that the children were teachable, they treated each other with sincerity.

"It is said that Li Guolou got into the car, and the commander-in-chief has something to discuss." Zuo Zongtang wanted to confide in his heart, looking for a confidant who had forgotten his years, and regarded Li Guolou as a political ally
