"Li Hongzhang?"

"Well? Has Shangqi actually heard of this person?"

Sukeroku was just going to tell Chungemon about the gossip he heard in Shanghai, but he didn't expect Chungemon to know such a number one person.

"It was reported earlier that he helped Zeng Guofan, the governor of the Qing Kingdom, to suppress the civil unrest." Chungyouemon did receive a message from Shanghai, saying that Li Hongzhang was in Zeng Guofan's shogunate.

"Yes, yes." Su Liu nodded.

Originally, at this time in history, because Shanghai had repeatedly requested reinforcements, Li Hongzhang, who was in charge of the regimental training in Anhui with the rank of inspector, was able to act as the governor of Jiangsu and lead the army to Shanghai. He was also ridiculed as a beggar soldier by many gentry and directors in Shanghai, and his clothes and equipment were not complete.

However, due to the flapping of the butterfly's wings, Dolonga led his troops into Shanghai and began to prepare for the establishment of a navy. Coupled with the intentional management of the Qing court, Li Hongzhang is naturally unlikely to be allowed to bring troops to Shanghai.

As for why Li Hongzhang was stationed in Shanghai in the original history? There is a lot involved in this.

In 1860, Zeng Guofan moved the base camp of the Hunan Army to Qimen, Anhui. Li Hongzhang believed that there was a pocket of terrain and was not suitable for garrisoning, and insisted that it should be moved. Maybe Zeng Guofan's arrogant thought of killing him was at the peak at that time? He sarcastically said that whoever is timid should leave his post. This made Li Hongzhang very dissatisfied, and there was a rift between the two.

Li Yuandu was an old subordinate of Zeng Guofan. When Zeng Guofan was beaten by the Taiping Army and nearly destroyed his entire army, he wanted to commit suicide by throwing himself into the water. Fortunately, Li Yuandu tried his best to persuade him to save the man.

Later, Li Yuandu was proud of his merits and defended Huizhou, and Zeng Guofan decided to impeach him. Li Hongzhang resolutely opposed this and even threatened: If the teacher impeaches Li Yuandu, I will quit the student. Zeng Guofan said dismissively: Then please do it. In the end, neither of them gave in, Zeng Guofan really got into the impeachment case, and Li Hongzhang really said goodbye.

very good! The Hunan army was in conflict with itself, which was what the Manchu court wanted to see most. But Zeng Guofan is really interesting. He killed Li Hongzhang's arrogance, or after repeatedly puaing Li Hongzhang, it is a pity that Li Hongzhang's talent and learning, so he wrote to ask Li Hongzhang to continue to be transferred to his command.

It just so happened that Li Hongzhang worked alone in his hometown, and the court was happy for him to do it alone. He successively recruited five battalions of Huaiyong, and the imperial court transferred two battalions of Xinyong in Hunan and two battalions of the surrendered Taiping Army (Ding Ruchang was among them) to him. Zeng Guofan also sent a battalion of Li Hongzhang's pacesetters, thinking that the Chinese army.

These ten battalions, more than 6,000 people, were eventually transferred to Shanghai because of the crisis in Shanghai and Zeng Guofan's request. In fact, it was Zeng Guofan's **** in order to keep Shanghai and control the tariffs of Jiang Customs at the same time.

Well now, Li Hongzhang is a must go to Shanghai.

"The emperor of Qing has ordered this Li Hongzhang to act as the governor of Shaanxi, and lead ten battalions of more than 6,000 troops to Shaanxi." Zhu Liudao didn't think there was anything wrong with this, but just said it to the news and Zhongyouweimen.

"Oh..." Chuemon nodded, his face light.

In my heart, I sighed quite a bit, this time Li Shaotou went to Shaanxi, and that time is over. This Li Shaotou and his teacher had shaved his head on the matter of murder, that is quite a consensus. Suzhou killed more than 100,000 people, not to mention. Later, Li Hongzhang went to Guangdong, in order to deter the party.

It's just to deter the meeting party, and the meeting party hasn't done anything yet. He would draw lots to arrest Party members and kill hundreds of people every day, regardless of whether they were good or bad. From the beginning of the year to the end of the year, they kept killing tens of thousands of people in one day.

This kid went to Shaanxi, then...

If it is to maintain the feudal rule, Zhongyouemon deeply felt that the Empress Dowager Ryogong and Prince Gong had chosen the right person. Li Shaotou must have some skills, but he may not be able to fight foreigners. He definitely has a hand in fighting Huizi and Nianjun.

"There is one more thing. The soldiers who surrendered in the Battle of Tsushima were restrained by the British envoy in Shanghai. Now Lucia has sent envoys to receive them and transfer them away." Zu Liu continued to report.

"King Lucia's envoy has arrived in Shanghai?" Chuemon thought to himself that it had been more than a year, and the Russians were finally coming to face it.

"It should be, but I didn't see it."

"Just come."

Russians have a real appetite
