The atmosphere in the morning court was particularly strange. The faces of several military officials, especially those from the Huai Army, were very gloomy. The entire hall revealed a depressing atmosphere.
Many officials did not dare to speak. They could feel the strange atmosphere. There were only a few major events that had happened recently. They could imagine what had happened with their butts, but they did not know how serious it was.
When Wang Guangxu appeared in the main hall, it was quiet. No one spoke first. Li Zhang opened his mouth, but in the end, he closed it. Wang Guangxu glanced at the ministers and sneered.
"You've all seen Anda's military report, right? "Wang Guangxu said to a few of the military officials who had stepped forward.
"We are useless! I hope Your Majesty will punish me!“
"Haha! Incompetent? Don't you know what kind of trash you sent out?“
If you don't have the ability to defend Bei Ning, you have the ability to leave him in the lurch!“
Wang Guangxu's face was ashen. He had already mentally prepared himself to warn these people time and time again, but he was still angered by this so-called victory.
"I'm guilty! Please punish me, Emperor!“
Li Zhang and Zuo Zongtang were already prostrated on the ground. One of them was a Beiyang minister, and the other was the Minister of War.
" Li Zhang knows people well. Zuo Zongtang doesn't know how to use people. He'll be demoted two levels and retained in his original position. If there's a next time, you should move the position for the young man!“
Wang Guangxu said expressionlessly.
"Sinful subject, receive the decree!“
The two of them were already breaking out in cold sweat, but they were relieved.
"Huai Army! From today onwards, the generals of the Chu army will take turns to study at the headquarters! If you can't pass, go home and farm!”
Everyone heaved a sigh of relief when they heard that, but this sentence made the ministers feel a chill in their hearts.
With one sentence, he directly seized the military power of the Huai and Chu armies.
A word could decide life and death, and a word could decide wealth and honor.
Li Zhang and Zuo Zongtang naturally did not dare to have any objections. Although their subordinates were once very brave, the facts had proven that most of them had become useless now.
At this moment, Zhang Dongzhan came forward to ask for his opinion. The people of the ancient country were gloating at their misfortune and would not speak up for them. Now, the only person who had the right to speak on the Han side was him.
"I have already taken their heads and confiscated their homes. After the inventory is completed, someone will report it to the national treasury.”
"Retreat!"
After Wang Guangxu finished speaking, he left in a rage, leaving behind a group of ministers.
"The emperor is no longer a child, he still has his own will!”
"We can now bypass the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Justice, and we can even pin down the local forces!”
Soon, the officials left, leaving only the kneeling Zuo and Li.
"Zuo Zongtang, let's not fight anymore! Assist the emperor well. After fighting for so many years, you still haven't been able to bring the ancient country onto the path of a powerful country!”
Li Zhang stood up and patted off the non-existent dust on his body as he spoke with a solemn expression.
The two of them had never been on good terms. Firstly, they did it to show the Manchu big shots that they did not think the Han people were powerful and took the opportunity to suppress them. Secondly, it was also for the benefit of his subordinates. In fact, they had a good relationship in private.
"It's time for those kids to go protect the headquarters and train properly. After enjoying so many years of peace and comfort, they have long forgotten how to fight!”
Zuo Zongtang's face darkened as he accepted the truth. Although it felt a little out of place, he knew that he had made up his mind to support Wang Guangxu.
"The Emperor sent the generals of the Huai and Chu armies to guard the headquarters, preventing the Han army from making any moves. Do you think he's just trying to weaken us? You've underestimated our Emperor."“
Li Zhang said with a meaningful smile.
"This! The emperor…how could it be…I'll go find precious to catch up! At the same time, he arranged for the new recruits.“
Zuo Zongtang felt a chill down his spine. He suddenly thought of something and felt that it was a little unbelievable, but he still reacted.
"I'll go play with Minister Orcutt and buy some time for the new recruits!”
Li Zhang nodded at Zuo Zongtang.
"Farewell! At this moment, I will definitely assist the emperor with all my strength!“
"Farewell! I will naturally stand on the Emperor's side…"
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, feeling extremely happy…
After retreating from Shanxi, facing the encirclement of the Orcuter Army, the Divine Puppet Army had fallen into a rather difficult situation.
Anda Nan could not stay there. He could not go to the ancient country, so he could only wander around in the mountains. He lacked clothes and food, and he was extremely short of weapons and ammunition. Many soldiers had fallen in the mountains because of long-term travel. The wounded soldiers of the Puppet God Army could not be treated, and their numbers decreased. Fortunately, they relied on their rich experience to escape the siege of the Occitans…
