"Li Zhang! If you don't dare to do it! I'm going to do it!“
Zuo Zongtang had the fiercest temperament and was one of the few ministers who advocated war. He was the first to react.
As for Zhang Dong, he also understood that Guangxu was mainly talking to the two people who held military power. Just now, when he accepted the Ministry of Revenue, he had already expressed his attitude.
"Alright! I accept your orders!“
Li Zhang was silent for a moment before finally deciding to board the ship. After all, the entire Gu Nation was suspecting that the governors of these places had ulterior motives. If they lost the emperor's trust, they would not be far from death.
"Since I'm going to offend you, I might as well extort a sum of money! Build a few more ironclad ships!"
He thought to himself.
"You and Zuo Zongtang will each recommend a candidate for the three towns of recruits that I mentioned!”
Wang Guangxu was quite satisfied with Li Zhang's performance. It was already quite good for this cowardly turtle to do so.
The towns here were equivalent to the reorganized troops in the future. Each town had 30,000 to 50,000 troops.
The two of them directly recommended Liu Chuan and Yuan Kai.
"Yuan Kai?"
Liu Chuan's performance in the Battle of Gu Zhou was commendable. Yuan Kai was only a kid in his twenties. It seemed that Li Zhang had already taken a liking to him.
"May I know who the emperor is referring to as the candidate for the Third Town?”
Zuo Zongtang could not help but ask. He was too excited and asked without thinking.
He also knew that the Third Town would definitely be left to the Gu people. Then, he made a decision in his heart. As long as that guy was not too scammy, he would just pinch his nose and accept it.
"Oh! I'll hand over the third town to the original Xiang army's sentry, Jiang Baili.
"Your Majesty is wise!“
"Sage Monarch! Wen Zhenggong, if you know, you should also kowtow to thank the emperor for his kindness!“
"I will do my best! He would die for it!“
They didn't expect that the moment Wang Guangxu spoke, the three of them would kneel on the ground, tears streaming down their faces.
"What are you guys doing?“
Wang Guangxu was puzzled, but he understood after casting a few mind-reading spells.
It turned out that after Zeng Guofan formed the Xiang Army and destroyed the Taiping Country, the Han Chinese Zeng Guofan was suspected by the Qing court. Not only was he dismissed, but he was also heavily suppressed. The fate of the entire Xiang Army was very miserable. Zeng Guofan also did not have a good ending.
These people were also afraid of walking on Zeng Guofan's old path. Since Wang Guangxu dared to use the original Xiang army, then they also did not have to worry about the ending of the flying birds and good bows.
"Ding! The host has obtained the loyalty of Li Zhang, an important official. The host has received 3,000 points!”
"Ding! The host has obtained the loyalty of Zuo Zongtang, an important official. The host has received 3,000 points!”
"Ding! [User…Obtained 2,000 points!]“
"Minister Zuo and Minister Li! How about we make a bet?"
Wang Guangxu smiled and let the three of them stand up. It seemed that these people had been on tenterhooks all these years.
"How does the emperor want to bet!“
The three of them could feel Wang Guangxu's goodwill, so other than maintaining the necessary respect, they no longer tried to hide it.
" Jiang Baili has been learning the latest combat techniques and training techniques in the Northland for the past few years. Three months later, the Three Towns Recruit Tournament will be held. If they win-"
Wang Guangxu looked at Zuo and Li meaningfully.
If he wins, all our officers will be trained by him!“
