~《》~     The name behind Chapter 186

It was almost noon when Sheng Yu looked at it and ordered someone to prepare. He set up a table in the main hall. The host and the guest gathered around a mahogany round table with marble surface, forming a staggering momentum, with no distinction between superiors and inferiors. He was naturally talking about gossip, but the Yuedan figure was inevitable. Somehow, when he mentioned Zuo Zongtang, he expressed disappointment in regret. Speaking of it, it was Zuo Jigao's humiliation.

Zuo and Li have always been enemies. They have been fighting openly and secretly for many years. In May of that year, Japan invaded Taiwan and finally reached the day to settle the accounts.

He used troops in Japan and divided into two groups. Zuo Zongtang thought that Li Hongzhang was the commander of the Southern Army as the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. Although he was not from the Hanyuan period, he was better than him when it came to his knowledge. Therefore, it would not be a big problem to be the commander of the Northern Army. He did not want the court to choose Zhu Hongzhang, which made him very unhappy: Zhu Huanwen, a military man, knew what military affairs were? He did not dare to make too much arbitrary arguments about the imperial court's decree, and soon, the court sent him to take over Li Hongzhang's lack of flaws and became the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

This made Zuo Zongtang even more unhappy. There were so many governors in the world, so what was wrong? He just let himself take over Li Hongzhang's lack? Will Li Hongzhang leave any good foundation for himself? Such words came to Li Hongzhang's ears, so he naturally had to find a way to take action. When the naval battle was officially over, the emperor called Liu Mingchuan as the governor of Fujian and served as the minister of the thief suppression. He went across the sea to Taiwan and handled the thousands of Japanese troops who were on the island to wipe out Xixiang Longsheng. The war was very smooth. This was because Xixiang Longsheng knew that he had committed a heinous crime for the motherland. Before the Qing army arrived, he committed suicide by cesarean section.

He caught or killed Japanese soldiers, and the southern part of the island was a stalemate. Foreign troubles were about to stop and internal struggles gradually arose. The first person to attack was Liu Mingchuan. During the period of defense of Keelung, he had enough of the dirty air of Liu Yu from Taiwan. Liu Yu was the direct descendant of Zuo Zongtang. He was stationed in Tainan and was detained for military service in Tainan. Liu Mingchuan was in a dilemma with Liu Mingchuan, who was in trouble with the front enemy. Since Zuo Zongtang supervised the military affairs of Fujian and Yang Changjun was the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Liu Mingchuan had no choice but to do anything. However, his grievances were conveyed by Li Hongzhang, and the court was fully understood. He only used strong enemies to protect the Fujian Sea. After all, Zuo Zongtang had to issue an order to rectify discipline and confuse himself. Now that the foreign enemy has retreated, he can naturally take action.

Of course, this is also a fault for Liu Yu being too ignorant. He asked Zuo Zongtang to distribute one million taels to handle Taiwan's aftermath, and sent a committee member to Fuzhou to take charge. Liu Mingchuan received the news and a telegram hit Beiyang and then transferred to Beijing. Yi Debao was furious. The naval battle had just ended, and the emperor was in full swing. He wanted to take this opportunity to completely resolve the Japanese threat. It was said that money was spent everywhere. The Japanese army landed on the island for a short time, and because of the number of people, it was impossible to cause great harm to the island. There was no war in Tainan, and Liu Yu received 100% of gold and rarely helped Liu Mingchuan. There should be a large sum of money in the warehouse, but he even had to ask the court for money? He was simply heartless.

Therefore, a telegram was issued, urging Zuo Zongtang not to send it without permission. It was fine. The bad thing was that there was another warning: "After Zuo Zongtang arrived in Fujian, he would always send him to the commission without any explanation. It was a very wrong. When there were any matters such as employing people to allocate funds, he should report it first and wait for the order to obey the order; he should not be involved in rashness and cause the blame for his propriety!" Then another telegram was ordered Zuo Zongtang and Yang Changjun to find out how much left in the vassal treasury of the two provinces? "A quick reply is not allowed to use it without any recklessly." A leaf fell to know that the world was in autumn, and it was obvious that Zuo Zongtang's holy family had declined.

So Liu Mingchuan took action without hesitation, and used the power of the governor of Fujian to remove Liu Yu from his post on the grounds of "the profiteering business detained Lijin, and Taoist officials cheated together". At the same time, he flew into the press. Although this move was ruthless, it was still tempting, so he only 'removed' to Liu Yu. The court replied to the imperial edict: "The position was immediately removed and waited for investigation." This was a full support, so you can pursue it with confidence and boldness. Liu Mingchuan then wrote a book on Liu Yu, saying that he was "corrupt, cunning, uncontrollable, and had many bad deeds. He issued a separate payment and asked to dismiss his post for investigation."

As a result, not only was the "dismissed and investigated" but the "dismissed and investigated". The Military Affairs Office obeyed the order and sent two "Governor-in-Chief" to Liu Mingchuan: "Liu Yu was dismissed and asked for questions, and handed over to Liu Mingchuan to properly guard him, and waited for the Qin to send ministers to Fujian to investigate and investigate." Liu Mingchuan's money in office in charge of Liu Mingchuan instructed Liu Mingchuan to send in honest officials to investigate and investigate. The other was to the governor of Hunan, Bian Baodi, Bian Baodi, to search for Liu Xu's home in his hometown.

There is also a Mingfa: "I ordered Xizhen, the Minister of Justice, to travel to Jiangsu to work with Wei Rongguang to investigate and deal with the incident." The imperial envoys have always used fake place names to decorate the case. They are obviously going to Sichuan, but when it comes to Hubei, such a foolish method cannot be hidden. Anyone with a discerning eye can find that it is investigating Liu Yu at a glance.

Of course, Zuo Zongtang had to launch a counterattack and reported to the detailed situation of Liu Mingchuan abandoning Keelung, saying that his crime of losing his troops and humiliating the country was too much for Xu Yanxu and Tang Jiong. He did not want to hit a big nail. The reincarnation he received was: "Liu Mingchuan went to Taiwan in a hurry, and his troops were short of food. Although he lost Keelung, he could still support the crisis, and his merits and demerits were not covered. The minister said that his crime was far higher than Xu Yanxu. Tang Jiong was really willing to keep it within the week, and he planned to be inappropriate. Zuo Zongtang issued an order to refute it, but it was originally thrown back."

Zuo Zongtang, who was lying in vain, suffered this humiliation and his condition changed drastically, and he had to submit a request for a second time. Of course, a gentle decree was indispensable. He was allowed to hand over the imperial envoy to the imperial envoy, and did not have to detain a holiday. He returned to Hunan to rest with peace of mind. He also praised him for "early diligence, hard work, long-term experience in administration and military affairs. If you see anything, report to me at any time and use it as a precaution."

This gentle edict that was slandered by the old minister was sent to Fuzhou. Zuo Zongtang's god had already declined and could not be grateful for his grace. It was delayed until the 27th day of July, and he was silent. At that time, the governors of Fuzhou General Mutushan, Zhejiang and Fujian Provinces were summoned. The memorial was slow and the telegram was fast. The Fujian Camp Affairs Office sent a telegram to the Beiyang Yamen. By noon the next day, the news was received.

This was an accident, but it was not an accident. Zuo Zongtang came to Fujian and everything was not very easy. Although he claimed to be Zhuge Wuhou, he just "devoted his whole life to the end and died" and was similar, but his cultivation of calmness and far-reaching was much worse. He was depressed and was extremely angry, and he was finally confused and often shouted: "Boys, come out!" He followed his words and perfunctory. He also heard about these situations in the capital, and it was expected that he would be alive soon.

However, no matter what, he was always one of the important officials of the country. The emperor always had good manners for old ministers, so he was naturally sad. Therefore, Zuo Zongtang's decorative scriptures were extremely excellent. Although he was not as good as Zeng Guofan, he was far better than official documents. Official documents were posthumously awarded to Taibao, and Zuo Zongtang was posthumously awarded to Taifu; official documents were sacrificed to the Virtuous Temple, Zuo Zongtang was sacrificed to the Zhaozhong Temple, Virtuous Temple, and allowed to establish special temples in his original hometown and provinces of meritorious service. The posthumous law was even more different. Official documents were posthumously and obedient ministers, and the word Gong was only used for ministers who were cautious and obedient. It was not considered a beautiful posthumous title, and it was not a good posthumous title, and it was not a good posthumous title for Zuo Zongtang.

Therefore, it is a waste of time to write a posthumous title. After the posthumous title is approved by the Ministry of Rites, the posthumous title is written by the Ministry of Rites, and the two attendants are responsible for their affairs. According to the rules, if the first character can be posthumously named Wen, you only need to write eight characters, and the Grand Secretary selects four characters, and apply for a request to circle. It is very troublesome to draw a posthumous title. The most noble one is the word "zheng", which is custom made from a singular one, which is not something that the minister dares to ask for. The second is the word "zhong", which is not a matter of vain.

Of course, Zuo Zongtang could not be comparable to Zeng Guofan and was posthumously named Wenzheng, but like Lin Zexu and Wenxiang, the posthumously named "Wenzhong", should not be considered as indiscriminate invitation to grace. Therefore, the four characters selected by Li Hongzao, Baoyan and Yan Jingming include the word "Zhong".

In front of Chengda, the emperor thought the word "Zhengtang" was very good, and for a moment he couldn't remember what Zuo Zongtang's posthumous title was in real history, so he asked the military. In addition, what other good words can praise Zuo Zongtang for his contribution to governing Liaoning and pacifying the southern country?

The posthumous title was always the head of the cabinet. Yi didn't understand it very much, let alone Su Shun. He said, "Emperor, Li Hongzao and Yan Jingming remember many stories. Please ask them?"

"Li Hongzao," the emperor asked, "What do you think?"

"According to the posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumous posthumously."

The emperor remembered this time. In history, after Zuo Zongtang's death, the posthumous title given by the court was the word "Xiang". "Who are the posthumous people of this dynasty's posthumous title of Wenxiang?" He asked, "I only remember Hong Chengchou and Jin Fu, did Jin Fu have martial arts?"

"After the Holy Ancestor was in charge of the three major events, the Three Feudals, the River Blessings, and the Harbor Transportation were written down and posted on the pillars of the Qianqing Palace. They were vigilant every day, and they were always forgotten. Jin Fu was a famous minister in the management of the river. From the 16th year of Kangxi to the 46th year of illness, he worked hard for 30 years in the river affairs. He praised the holy merits, which was no different from the opening of territory, so he was named Wenxiang."

"If you want to open up the territory, Zuo Zongtang can also be called it. Just posthumously named Wenxiang!" The emperor asked again: "Where did Zuo Zongtang ask for an order to handle it but did not do it?"

This is reported by Yi: "Last month, Zuo Zongtang had two memorandums, one was to ask for the establishment of the Minister of Coast Defense, and the other was to ask for the important task of coastal defense by Zeng Jize, and the other was to ask for the transfer of Fujian Governor to Taiwan. Zeng Jize had been ordered and telegrammed to recall the country. There were many matters involved in the first floor of Fujian Governor stationed in Taiwan, and it was impossible to file a petition for the order."

The emperor was confident about the matter of coastal defense and quickly replied: "Of course Zeng Jize has something to do with him, but he must not hand over all coastal defense to him. The governor of Fujian is in Taiwan, and this matter is handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Listen to everyone's meaning, it is best to do as Zuo Zongtang wants!"
