C573 Sending Maylor away

"Not bad, that's really not bad. This paper is too useful. Like this, my odds of winning increase by two points …" Li Hongzhang couldn't help but nod his head as he stroked his beard.

Maylor saw that Li Hongzhang was satisfied, and also wanted to curry favor from Master Li, even though the one seated opposite him was the Chinese Officer, but who asked him to be Ceng Guofan's teacher? The Han Manipulation was also a huge power, if they could help speak up for him, then his own life would be more likely to be saved.

"Brother Shao Quan …" "Actually, there's still a flaw in the note that I haven't written down yet. Seeing that Brother Shao Quan is being so loyal, this brother has decided to give it his all …"

"This Xiao Letian is an evil demon from the west. He looks like he's from Great Qing, but deep down, he has the evil scriptures of a foreigner … To deal with this kind of people, you have to use Yin stuff to break it! "

"In the previous raid, we had prepared countless amounts of dog blood, feces and urine, footcloths, menstrual straps … and throw all this junk together... Hur Hur Hur, guess what? The enemy's defense line was actually broken! "

"That was the most fruitful assault of all. I, your brother, personally brought my cavalry to the battlefield. The longbow that I inherited from my ancestors has demonstrated its prowess. I leapt over the trench on my horse, and the arrow in my hand shot out …" It's fun, it's fun! "

Maylor was intoxicated. The only time he had mounted the battlefield was the few times he had flaunted his abilities in his life. It was probably enough for him to bluster for the rest of his life.

Li Hongzhang was stunned, he felt his stomach churning, he did not expect to witness the things that Yi Shan and Yang Fang did, how could they still believe in the Manchu? How many years had passed?

Li Hongzhang could not take it anymore. If he continued to listen, he would puke and quickly reach out to stop his. "Brother, if this strategy works so well, why didn't we win in the end?"

Maylor didn't feel the slightest bit of shame, as he spread out his hands. I sent our troops to search seven to eight villages, but it's only enough to take a single raid. The demonic power of Xiao Letian is very strong, if Brother Shao Quan wants to defeat him, it would be best if he can, right?

Li Hongzhang was completely speechless. He did not even dare to imagine the beauty of the scene that Maylor had described to him.

What then? Stacked in or out of the camp? What a big pile that was! When Xiao Letian's new army came, they didn't even need to use their horses to explore the road.

Moreover, Hidden Fog Kid had already said that there would be heavy rain in the next ten days. If this pile of white and yellow stuff was poured on by the rain, no one would be able to stand outside the camp.

Ugh … Li Hongzhang felt more and more like vomiting, so he quickly changed the topic. Let's let this matter go for now. If we go to the capital now, we'll be in extreme danger. Do you have any plans? "

Maylor, who had been kicked with a silver note in her arms, let out a long sigh. "It can't be that I have to use my knees as a stepping stone and lose my face to lead the way!"

"One intestines, one black heart, one thick skin, one tongue, one pair of seductive bones, one pair of knees, one pair of kowtows, not too many bugs, three smiley faces, the above eight medicinal herbs, all hidden in the shell of the turtle, all used with the heart of a wolf, one dog lung fried into a muddle, consumed with medicine."

Maylor started to read the most popular joke in the Beijing, but the joke today was about to fall on him.

While it was night, Li Hongzhang sent Maylor away, and watched as the horse disappeared on the official road in the northwest. The Chinese Officer clenched her fists tightly, with an extremely cold look in her eyes.

In his arms, there was a piece of information regarding Maylor that his aides had gathered at the last moment.

"Maylor leads the troops, under his command, the cavalry usually do not have horses, the water army has never been used to water, so during the training, the cavalry would temporarily hire horses, while the sailors would hire fishermen to replace them. "The warship was nailed with thin wooden planks and old nails. Water leaked from every bullet, and the cannonballs in the cannon were as hard as muffins …"

"To make a fake name on the roster, in order to cope with the press conference, I hastily recruited laborers from the market. Although I have regular military training, I focus on watching the battle and do not pay attention to actual combat. "How can such an army not be defeated …"

"During this siege, the eight banners of the Beijing Belt were used to select the warriors to serve in the imperial court. It could be said that seventy percent of the warriors had been chosen by him. If the encirclement was defeated, the army of the Beijing Belt would be weakened for ten years …"

Li Hongzhang's Huai Army had inherited the Xiang Army's military system, and the thing that Ceng Guofan valued the most was the construction of his staff group. He spared no effort in searching for talents, and it was only because of this group of heroes that they could defeat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom step by step, and also be on par with the Manchu dynasty.

Li Hongzhang's aides were also very strong. There were no flashy people here, and those pungent people who only knew how to do eight pieces of paper should be left for Manchu to use. Just by looking at the analysis on Maylor, one could tell how powerful the group of elites were.

The guard beside Li Hongzhang said softly, "Master, do you really want to help this kind of bastard? Why did you return him the silver? "

"Piss off!" I'm just spending money to buy information, that's all. You think I'm going to help him? "Don't worry, we won't let anyone in the capital help him out. He'll take the money and kneel before the door!"

"Ai …" In the end, this world belongs to the Manchu, give him some money to fool us, and let him think that we will help him. This is also a good opportunity, do you know when we can use it? "Furthermore, the information that they exchanged with their lives was not suitable for us …"

That guard seemed to be Li Hongzhang's trusted aide, so he did not beat around the bush, "The life of their Manchu is their life, but the life of us Chinese aren't? "If you want me to say, since we're so strong now, we might as well go back to the motherf * * king …"

"With the Great Marshal Zeng as your emperor, you can be a side king or something like that, and that Xiao Letian, I think he's a good man too. Pulling him along to board the ship would only make him a throne in the end … I heard that's what Jiu Shuai intends to do right now! "

After Li Hongzhang heard this, he turned his head and slapped himself across the face, "Are you crazy? "Nonsense, do you want to die …" After saying so, he looked left and right, only to discover that there were no outsiders present.

"Don't mention it ever again! Marshal will not go against me, and I will never go against you … "If it wasn't for the fact that you are a member of my family, I would have long since attacked you!"

"Why? ~ Does my Qing Dynasty still have logic? Didn't you just read the report and become angry? "I can't figure it out, I just can't figure it out …"

Li Hongzhang was already this angry, but he still did not shut his mouth and continued to blabber nonstop. However, it was true that his tone was lower by a lot.

"Ai …" Foolish brat! How do you know this? "Ever since the foreigners started to get involved in China, our old traditions have changed. It's not going to work …"

"Do you know of the Universal Law? Do you know what the westerner's diplomacy is? Do you think those disgraceful treaties signed six years ago will do the Great Qing no good at all? "Are you stupid …"

Li Hongzhang pulled his nephew into his tent. "Western treaties require the coexistence of power and obligation, and when Qing Dynasty gave two silvers to sign, at the same time, an invisible right began to take effect … It was an agreement between nations due to the payment of silver by the Qing Dynasty, so the Westerners promised to only recognize the Qing Dynasty as the Lord of China! "

"Do you understand? Stupid boy... As long as the foreigners signed an agreement with the Qing Dynasty, no matter what agreement it was, they all implicitly recognized that the Qing Dynasty was the only ruler of China. All other powers have been excluded … "

"After the Beijing and Tianjin treaties were signed, the United States and Russia of English and French no longer have any arms embargo, have you forgotten? It was exactly six years ago when our troops started equipping a large amount of Gun.

"After the agreement was signed, Sir British Gordon took part in the war on behalf of the foreign invaders, to the point that Long-hair could not find his way to the north. Do you know how the empress dowager and the princes and officials were laughing when the news spread to the capital?"

"Prince Kung once said after drinking that since the foreigners only care about money, then why did he let the Monk King fight against the foreigners? How good would it be to sign an agreement and turn the compensation into money for hire? And then we can hire a hundred thousand soldiers to fight for us. How beautiful would that be! "

Li Hongzhang sighed, "Did you see that? The foreigners have a close relationship with the Manchu, if the Chinese revolt now, the foreigners will have to intervene, and then, China will really fall apart! "

Li Hongzhang's words left the nephew speechless for a long time. Finally, he sighed and turned his head to leave the tent. Li Hongzhang sat on the chair and listened to the sound of the wind outside without speaking for a long time.

"The current world is no longer a place where you can live when you close your doors. If you want to change the tide of time, you have to be a powerful force like the foreigners. In the future, those who lead the tide will definitely be elites in foreign affairs."

Thinking about that, Li Hongzhang suddenly realized, the Master of Western Studies, was actually that Xiao Letian right? In terms of foreign affairs, who would dare to claim to be first on the second day?

"Could it be that this Second Demon King is planning to seize the position of Yue Yang?" "Not good, that's possible. God knows how many Western Countries are backing him."

"This damned Evil Demon, is he really going to rebel? No, no … If he wanted to rebel, it wouldn't be him! With me, Li Hongzhang, here, you can forget about making a move! "

Just as Li Hongzhang was about to bite down fiercely, on the channel of the Sea River southwest of TIANJIN Wei, the retreating Shattered Waves was anchoring at the middle of the channel, with the ship's light up.

A horse riding on horseback came from the direction of the Tanggu, raising a cloud of dust on the riverbank. Before even reaching one of the Newcomer Army outposts, they all shouted loudly, "Torture Chamber secret letter …" Prime Minister, personal … Avoid bystanders... "Tonight's password is' Wolf '…"

Each of the new army outpost protected the vast area of land with the warship at the center. Xiao Letian's safety was above all else! These loyal soldiers made way as soon as they heard the order, the warhorses almost brushed past their noses.

Very quickly, the messenger arrived at the river bank and jumped onto a small boat to row towards the Shattered Waves. The messenger was still shouting "Discipline Hall's secret letter …" "The wolf …" Very quickly, the Shattered Waves was in an uproar.
