【1025 Zuo Zongtang】
The troops were recruiting quickly, but even if the money was given according to the Chinese army, Yi Li still felt that it was not enough, so he made a noise and sent a message to a place where he could get the local prefect to pay a military pay. If he had paid a place in a month, it would be double the military pay.
At this moment, a group of children of the rammed bannermen went crazy. Where can these people fight? They all came from the big smoke guns. The cute CEO had already hated these people. In fact, the cute CEO knew that no matter whether they really started fighting or not, after a trip to the whole country, these five thousand people would definitely not be more than one thousand people who could come back alive!
Six days later, Yi Li and Prince Chun left Beijing with a 5,000 army, followed by the reorganized First Field Division of the Chinese Army!
The commander is still Xuan Jianzhang!
At this time, Xuan Jianzhang was already in the rank of major general and was the most capable general under the cute president.
This is the ace among the Chinese army's aces, fighting south and north, and its great fame.
Shanxi, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, these are all Zuo Zongtang's territory.
Zuo Zongtang was ignorant of China, but he was unwilling to surrender to China just like this. It was normal for human beings to make a fortune. Almost the entire Qing court territorial area had this attitude.
This first level is Zuo Zongtang!
Zuo Zongtang's strength was also above Li Hongzhang at this time. Li Hongzhang was sent by the cute president to the two lakes to stabilize the situation. Li Hongzhang's control over there was naturally not as good as Zuo Zongtang, who had been operating in the Northwest for many years.
Zuo Zongtang occupied Renhe, while Li Hongzhang occupied geography. Because when he arrived in the south, the terrain was complex and the population density was large, it was very troublesome to really resist China.
These two old brothers are also the two mountains along the way for the cute president to unify the whole journey.
Yi Li led the Eight Banners Smoky Army to attack Taiyuan, the capital of Shanxi Province with a majestic spirit.
The acquisition was taken without any obstacles mainly because it was too close to Zhili. In order to show goodwill, Zuo Zongtang had no troops to station, and Li Hongzhang's troops went south. In addition, the railway here was about to be completed. Therefore, the Shanxi Governor obediently announced that he would surrender to China, and changed the flag on the same day, all replaced it with the black and red five-pointed star flag of China, and informed the whole province.
A province mainly depends on the governor. If the governor is willing to surrender, no one in the local area dares to object, otherwise he will become a bandit and a bandit.
There were spies in Yili's team, and they immediately reported the news to the First Field Division of the Chinese Army who followed him and informed the Beijing side.
When the cute president received the news, he was very happy: "I didn't expect that Shanxi will join him in less than ten days!"
Princess Katrina Kaifu smiled and said, "This is expected. The key is Xi'an, because there is Zuo Zongtang's garrison."
The cute president nodded and squinted his eyes, "Do you think Zuo Zongtang will surrender honestly?"
The cute president was not very satisfied with Zuo Zongtang. Because of the construction degree of the Northwest Railway Network, Zuo Zongtang was willing to help the Chinese army transport military rations and help the Chinese army fight in Siberia and Central Asia. However, Zuo Zongtang was not willing to see the entire Northwest train running, and all fell into the hands of the cute president.
Even if Zuo Zongtang had no intention of cedeing land and becoming a king, he still had the intention of becoming a local overlord. At least, he wanted to control the Northwest. This was too intimidating. The cute president could understand it, but the cute president would not allow anyone to split the country.
"Your Majesty, however, you chose the two people Yi Li and Prince Chun, as you chose, otherwise Shanxi would not have joined China so soon." Princess Katrina Kaifu leaned against the cute president and said.
The cute president smiled and said, "Isn't this all your idea? Without your guidance, I might have sent troops directly to unify the whole country. In that case, the conflict will definitely be intensified. You are my good wife. Not everything depends on war. This time, we use people like Yi Li, which is the right place. The entire Qing court officialdom is a villain, and I will use a villain king to deal with them."
Princess Katrina Kaif smiled, "The president has a good summary, and Yi Li is indeed the king of villains. However, the most powerful one is the president. I make suggestions, and the president must obey it."
The cute president smiled and touched Princess Katrina Kaif's hand, "Don't put a high hat on me anymore. I'll pass on the commendation order from the President's Secretariat, commend Yili's flag soldiers, and commend Yili and Prince Chun. By the way, commend the First Field Division of the Chinese Army, so that they can not only get money, but also gain fame!"
Princess Katrina Kaif smiled and nodded: "Yes, President."
"Let them go to Xi'an in a hot air, I want to see what Zuo Zongtang should do? If you don't, fight! If Zuo Zongtang attacks Prince Chun's troops, it will be against the Qing Dynasty and China!" The cute president smiled sinisterly.
Princess Katrina Kaif worried, "Is it still the main thing to persuade? Anyway, now that I'm talking on the phone, otherwise, the president will call Zuo Zongtang again?"
The cute president smiled and waved his hand, "If it is useful to call, Zuo Zongtang will surrender directly when he came to Almaty to see me last time. He is pretending to be a stubborn person. I guess the battle between the Qing army and the Qing army is inevitable!"
Princess Katrina Kaifu said thoughtfully, "Then, Prince Chun's big smoke troops are not opponents of Zuo Zongtang's Chu army? Will it be dispersed in one fight?"
"If it disperses, then form it again. The Chinese army is following behind. With Prince Chun's banner, you can recruit soldiers everywhere. It has this function in the entire Qing court's territory! For Zuo Zongtang, you still have to fight and coax Zuo Zongtang. If you can fight, you can fight. If you can, you can fight. If you can, you will fight again. He will fight until he takes the initiative to come to me and coax again." The cute president's finger gently tapped the table, saying his thoughts.
Princess Katrina Kaif nodded, "I understand, the president is right."
Half a month later, Yi Li and Prince Chun Yi Huan's troops arrived outside Xi'an.
"It's coming so fast!" Zuo Zongtang stood on the city tower, frowned.
Zuo Zongtang has many generals who are good at fighting. Liu Jintang and Xu Zhanbiao have made military achievements in the battle to recover Xinjiang and assist the Chinese army in conquering the entire Central Asian province.
At this time, Liu Jintang was beside Zuo Zongtang. "Master, behind these five thousand big smoke troops is the first field division of the Chinese army! The leader is Xuan Jianzhang, this is the ace of the Chinese army's ace army. Maleman, I see..."
Liu Jintang, I want to say it but I don’t dare to say it.
