C1195 Marshals injunction (2/2)
But not rebelling did not mean that they would not do anything. Since the Dragon Throne did not have any hopes, then they might as well throw their unlimited desire into the business of making money, and leave some assets for their descendants and their old brothers in the Xiang Army!
Thinking about it, Ceng Guoquan let out a long sigh. In fact, I admire Xiao Letian a lot too, he who laid down such a huge business with his bare hands, is stronger than me! But this time, Xiao Letian is not optimistic, I have read through foreign intelligence many times, both in terms of quantity and quality, the Russian fleet is good, and there are many of them … ”
”Not only the warships, they are also accompanied by dozens of troop carrier. The total number of people in the army and navy is over 30,000. How do you think we should fight them? That is why Xiao Letian will lose for sure, then we cannot bet on this ship that is heavier than us! ”
”No matter what, I will definitely give my advice in a moment. Are you going to review it or not?”
”Nothing to say!” What about Jiu Shuai, we will definitely follow him … Xiao Letian can't win this time, we can't bet on him.
As they were discussing, a loud voice came from the back of the hall, ”The marshal has arrived!” All the generals kneel down and welcome you! ” There was a loud bang as the thirty over high-ranking generals in the hall stood up in unison, all of them casting their gazes towards the White Tiger Screen in front of them.
Steady footsteps came out. When the smiling Ceng Guofan appeared in front of them, all the generals knelt down with a loud thud. ”Greetings, Marshal!”
”Get up! Ha ha-ha, this winter has been very cold and my body has been in a bad condition. I haven't gathered much with the big guys, so I hope you don't take offense to this! ”Is everyone here …”
The generals raised their heads to look at the marshal. At that moment, everyone was stunned; they did not expect the marshal to be so robust. His face was flushed and he did not look like he had been bedridden for a long time.
There was an old general with reddened eyes, ”Marshal …” We thought you were sick! Seeing that you are in such good health today, I have finally calmed my heart down! ”We haven't seen the marshal in the entire winter. I missed you so much …”
Ceng Guofan was, after all, the creator of the Xiang Army. He was the one who promoted the majority of the generals, so their feelings for the marshal were very simple and honest.
Ceng Guofan was also moved as he laughed, ”Thank you big fellow for thinking of me. I'm fine, I'm fine … Alright, let's call out the names first! ”
Three minutes later, the old farmer turned to the marshal and said, ”Besides the newly appointed two-river governor Ma Xinyi and the other two generals who have yet to arrive, the thirty-three generals have all arrived!”
Ceng Guofan nodded his head, ”Ma Xinyi is currently working in the southern region of the Jiang Han Dynasty, so it is understandable for him to be a bit slow. The other two brats were unintentionally late, so they had to remember to be punished for half a year!”
”Alright, let's discuss the matter then. After I leave Jiangnan, how should our Xiang Army do it?”
Just as the people of Grand Commander's Estate were about to begin their discussion, on the official road at the foot of Mount Nanjing, a squadron of cavalrymen was galloping forward frantically. The leader of the riders was the newly appointed governor of the two rivers, Ma Xinyi.
