I don’t know when Sushun will come, and I can’t just go back to Nanyuan like this. Han Xiufeng simply ate a few snacks and walked out of the flower hall and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard. While admiring the garden under the moonlight, he recalled everything he had done over the years.

Datou didn't dare to chew the sound, so he just sat on the stone bench and waited. As a result, he fell asleep on the stone table, snoring like thunder, and even could vaguely see a large amount of saliva flowing.

Looking at the big head sleeping soundly, and then thinking about himself always worried about this and that. To put it nicely, he said "to make a decision and then move" or "to say defeat without saying anything", to put it bluntly, he said "to be afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back". When he met, he was always afraid of his hands and feet and did not dare to make decisions easily. Han Xiufeng suddenly realized that he was very smart in small matters in recent years, but he was very confused in big matters!

If you just want to make achievements, you can lead the Eastern Sichuan delegation to Guizhou to suppress the bandits and quell the rebellion when you are in your hometown, or you can try to persuade Hu Linyi to stay in Hubei when you are outside Wuchang City.

It is not sure if the foreigners are fighting. It is not that difficult to suppress the bandits in Guizhou and Huguang. As long as the food and salary are available, as long as the food and salary are available, don’t be quick to advance, fight a few battles and recover a few cities. It is not impossible to stand alone like Hu Linyi and Zeng Guofan.

As a result, I missed the opportunity to return to the capital again and again. At that time, I always felt that Western barbarians were more important than hair. It seemed that only one could do it by oneself. Looking back, it was not the case. After all, I still wanted to be closer to the emperor.

As for the things in front of me, they are not as bad as before.

At least the emperor and the princes and ministers such as Prince Zheng, Prince Hui, Sushun, Senggelinqin, Guiliang and Huang Zonghan have made up their minds to fight with foreigners, and have discussed basic feasible solutions, no longer taking foreigners seriously as before, and no longer "conflict and uncertain" as before.

Just fight!

As for the future, I will talk about everything after the fight!

To be disrespectful, this country has long been full of holes. How bad can it be?

Thinking of this, Han Xiufeng felt much better and even his mind seemed to have become wider.

Just as he was wondering whether Huang Zonghan could hold back the foreigners and how many soldiers would the foreigners bring when they come to change appointments next year, footsteps came from outside. As soon as he turned around, he saw the pen and lanterns greeting Su Shun in.

"Xiufeng is so late to meet with the adults. Why haven't the adults come back to rest?"

"Don't be so arrogant. Haven't you rested? You've been waiting for a long time." Seeing that Datou was sleeping so hard, Su Shun simply pointed to the flower hall: "Let's go, let's go in and talk."

"Please, sir."

Following Sushun into the flower hall, she just sat down with Sushun, Sushun looked at the memorial on the case and asked, "Zhixing, have you seen all these?"

"Sir, I've seen it all."

“How do you feel?”

Han Xiufeng bowed to the memorial of the emperor and said, "The emperor is wise."

Sushun didn't expect that he would do this, and couldn't help but laugh and scold, "Zhixing, are you learning this from Peng Hulu?"

"Sir, I misunderstood. Xiufeng's words came from the heart."

"I thought you would think it was inappropriate to start the battle like this."

"To be honest, when I just finished reading the memorial, Xiufeng really felt that it was not appropriate to start the fight like this. But think about it carefully, if the fight is not started now, when will it take to start the fight? As long as the fight starts, people will die, and they will consume money and food. As long as the war is not appropriate. So since you can't hide this battle, it's better to fight early than to fight that night."

"This is reasonable. The barbarians bully us. They want to send envoys to Beijing and pay compensation for the troops. It is unbearable!" Sushun clenched his fists and continued: "The gunships that broke into Haikou, Tianjin have returned south one after another. According to Guiliang's memorial, only a few damaged ones are being repaired, and they will leave after repair. When they all return to Guangdong, Huang Zonghan will supervise the regiment to train their strength to attack and suppress the troops. Even if they cannot recover Guangzhou for a while, they will hold them tightly, so that they cannot escape and go north."

Han Xiufeng didn't think that the group training group that Huang Zonghan summoned could win, but he thought that it was good to kill a few foreigners. Kill a few here and a few there, and the foreigners couldn't stand it. Maybe it could really hurt foreigners, so he asked curiously: "Sir, Zhao Xiufeng, are you planning to let Xiufeng play in Guangdong?"

"Zhixing, the wise man doesn't say secret words. I really thought of asking the emperor to ask you to go to Guangdong, but I want you to go to Tianjin even more."

"It's okay to go to Tianjin."

"Don't rush to agree, I haven't finished it yet." Sushun smiled and then said, "I wanted to ask the emperor to ask you to go to Tianjin to replace Chonghou as Changlu Salt Transportation Commissioner. But I thought it was not appropriate to let you, a third-rank Fengchen Yuanqing, be a third-rank salt transport commissioner, so I asked the emperor to ask you to be a Zhili governor, or to help with military affairs with the title of a governor."

Han Xiufeng subconsciously asked: "Have you approved of your kindness?"

"The emperor neither approved nor rejected it, but asked me to talk to you first."

"What are you talking about?"

"Talk about these things," Sushun pointed to the secret letters and secret orders on the case again, and then changed the subject: "At the beginning, I was confused and couldn't figure out what the emperor meant. Later, after hearing what the emperor said, I understood the emperor's good intentions."

"I dare to ask, sir, what does the emperor mean?" Han Xiufeng asked.

"The emperor said that when you returned to Beijing from Hubei under the imperial edict a year ago, he asked you some rumors about Hu Linyi. When you reported the news, you seemed to mention some things about Changmao's crimes in Hunan. It was said that the reason why foreigners could easily succeed this time was that the foreigners were arrogant and unreasonable, and they started the war when they started, and they caught Tan Tingxiang and others off guard; the second was that they had never thought about going to war with foreigners before, so they ordered Tan Tingxiang and others to go to Tianjin, and then ordered Guiliang and Hua Shana and others to go to Tianjin. There were only five or six imperial envoys, so the soldiers and soldiers didn't know who to listen to."

Looking at Han Xiufeng's thoughtful look, Sushun said again: "Senggelinqin is good everywhere, but she is a little stubborn. If you just let you go to Tianjin like this, he may not be able to listen to your words, let alone help with military affairs. Instead of just going there like this but unable to work with it, it is better not to go."

"What does that adult mean?"

"Aren't you dredging the river channel of Nanyuan and rectifying the sea in Nanyuan? It's rare to dredge and rectify it once, so you naturally have to purchase some materials. So I plan to ask the emperor to ask you to go to Tianjin several times in the name of purchasing materials to see how the fortresses on both sides of Dagukou are built, how the military training is being trained, and how the various blockages are handled. If there are any shortcomings, the emperor will summon him back to Beijing and give him face-to-face advice. He will not listen to others' words, and he dare not disobey the emperor's words."

"Okay, Xiufeng will be sent to you by the Lord."

"Zhixing, I don't understand military affairs, and I'm not very worried about Senggelinqin. It's up to you to prevent blockage in Haikou, Tianjin."

"What are you saying? Xiufeng has received a lot of kindness and should have served the court and share the worries of the emperor."

Sushun nodded with satisfaction, then changed the subject: "Then the emperor approved the request of Guangdong Governor Bai Gui this afternoon, allowing him to return to Beijing to recuperate, and ordered the governor Bi Chengzhao to be appointed as Guangdong Governor."

Han Xiufeng pondered: "Bi Chengzhao, is the former Anhui Censor who followed Lord Huang to Guangdong to handle barracks?"

"Yes, it's him." Sushun looked back at the big head who had just woken up and was standing at the door rubbing his eyes, and then said: "In addition, the emperor also issued an order to dismiss Jiang Guolin and handed over to Huang Zonghan for interrogation."

"What's wrong with Jiang Guolin?"

"The foreigner entered the city and lost the money from the vassal treasury. Last month, he abandoned the unfinished barbarian affairs and left the province without authorization in the name of raising military affairs in Xijiang. According to Luo Dunyan and others, he not only led all officials to meet with barbarians on the first day of each month and was bound by them. He also went to Huaxian to ask the gentry to train and suspend the attack on the city, claiming that foreigners cannot offend them. It is really a greedy person, and they are both in the rat!"

How could Han Xiufeng not hear Sushun’s implication? He hurriedly said, “Sir, I don’t know anything. Although he and I are from Sichuan, I have never seen each other before, and there is no friendship.”

"That's good, otherwise I don't know how to explain it to you if you ask me."

"I'll ask Qingxian for a love affair, okay?"

"You dare to even ask for help from Qiying's love. How can I not worry about you asking for help Jiang Guolin?" Sushun asked back, then stared at Han Xiufeng and said, "Zhixing, I know that you have had some friendship with Qingxian for several years, but you really have no place to be sorry for him. Besides, you have protected him for so many years and are still protecting him now. If it weren't for you, he would have been a slaughtered by the military service station!"

"Sir, can we not talk about these things?"

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this anymore. It's just that when you go to Tianjin, you can't see the emperor today. You will stay here at night and hand in the sign to ask for a meeting tomorrow morning."

"You should go back and rest early."

"I've been busy all day, it's time to go back."

"Xiufeng greets you."
