Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

Before Gilger could explain what was going on, Duanhua threw him to the ground and beat him up. He screamed and his nose was running.

Sushun saw that it was almost time and said quickly, "Alright, alright, big brother, calm down. There's no point in beating him now."

Duan Hua stood up angrily and shouted, "Get up, stand up for me!"

Jierge was feeling very aggrieved. He had just been beaten up outside today, so he ran to Shuntian Prefecture to file a complaint. However, when the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture heard that he was going to sue the monk king, he was so scared that he persuaded Jierge to leave and told him to go home quickly and find his brother-in-law. I, a small prefect of Shuntian Prefecture, cannot take care of this matter. You are all masters, and I am just a small official!

Gilger was sent back with the gift. He just walked in and wanted to find his brother-in-law to cry and let him make a decision for him. However, he didn't expect that before he could say anything, he was severely beaten by his brother-in-law. He was so unlucky!

Duan Hua glared at Jierge and shouted, "You bastard, how dare you! Prince Khorchin, do you think you can afford to offend him? Even when I see him, I have to show him some courtesy. The Emperor even gives him a seat. How can you, a bastard baron, scold me? How many heads do you have?"

Gilger covered his cheek and said bitterly, "That young Senggelin is too bullying. He ordered Liu Ye to hit me, isn't that a slap in your face? After all, you are a prince, but he didn't even give you the slightest bit of respect!"

Duan Hua was so angry that his fingers were shaking. He growled, "Asshole! I'm a prince, but I don't have many soldiers under my command. The Monk King is an iron-hatted prince who commands hundreds of thousands of soldiers. The title is hereditary and there are iron certificates in his family! Who the hell are you? I'm going to hit you? If you, the idiot, tell me to go back to Changbai Mountain, I'll chop you up and feed you to the dogs!"

Jierge was so frightened that he dared not say a word. Sushun beside him advised: "Brother, calm down. Isn't there still room for redemption? Although Jierge has acted like a jerk, you still have to save some face for your sister-in-law..."

Jierge said quickly: "Yes, Lord Sushun, even if I can't afford to offend the monk prince, but who is that Liu Ye? How dare he hit me? He is just a Han Chinese, a dog of our Manchuria! Look at my teeth, half of them were knocked out by the beating!"

Duanhua snorted coldly. Sushun frowned and said, "Jierge, what else do you want to do about this matter? Go to the monk king to reason with him? What reasons do you have? If we really argue, even if you move Liu Ye, it's still unclear whether your head can stay safely on your neck! Insulting the prince, how many heads do you have? Moreover, Liu Ye has made great contributions. He is the person the emperor has personally summoned. Can you move him now?"

Gilger's face turned bitter. Damn it, he forgot about this!

Duan Hua snorted coldly, "Liu Ye is a bit too domineering! Being arrogant because of one's achievements is not a good thing! This matter..."

Sushun said in a deep voice: "Brother, let's not create any complications. The court is facing internal and external troubles, and it is time to use people. Although Liu Ye was wrong to hit people, Jierge was also wrong first. There is also the order of the monk king, so we can't say much. Who among those who have some skills and talents has a good temper? Zeng Guofan is arrogant and outstanding, Zuo Zongtang is even more like a brother, and that Li Hongzhang? He is even more cunning than a fox! However, we can't do without them. The overall situation of the court still needs the support of people like them. Without these talents, how can we sit firmly on the throne? This Liu Ye, at a young age, has extraordinary knowledge and a promising future. He is exactly the person we need to win over. The emperor's health is not very good. Once Long Yu passes away, our brothers' lives will not be as good as they are now. Now is the time when we need to win over people so that they can help us in the court in the future."

Sushun was indeed a man of profound knowledge, far superior to his brother. Duanhua's anger subsided considerably after hearing his words, and he muttered, "Alright, I'll listen to you. You're more knowledgeable than I am, so you'll naturally know how to handle this."

Before Jierge could speak, Duanhua shouted, "Get out of here and change your clothes! I'm going to take you to the Korchin Prince's mansion to apologize. For you, I'm going to lose face! Bastard! Get out of here!"

Gilger's face turned bitter and he ran out quickly.

Duan Hua asked, "Brother, are you here for something or just to chat?"

Sushun's face straightened as he replied, "Brother, the Emperor has already decided to have Liu Ye lead the firearms battalion training. I think it's best to keep this battalion in the capital. If anything happens to the capital, this will be our last trump card! We must keep it in our hands!"

Duanhua's face changed, and he hesitated, "Brother, this is what Senggelinqin values ​​most. We want to snatch it away? But it's not that easy, right? I'm afraid Senggelinqin will never agree. He is now in charge of all military affairs in the capital area and is responsible for the war with Britain and France. If we try to poach him now, it will definitely cause Senggelinqin's serious dissatisfaction!"

Sushun sneered, "If we were to come forward, it would definitely cause Senggelinqin's dissatisfaction. But what if someone else came forward? What if the emperor himself came forward? You, Zaiyuan, and I are responsible for the defense of the capital. As long as we can persuade the emperor to keep the Firearms Battalion in the capital, it will be equivalent to falling into our control. As for Liu Ye, he only has the right to train, but not the right to command. As long as we replace the Manchu commander with our people, won't everything be fine? Taking a step back, even if one day the Firearms Battalion is really completely controlled by Liu Ye, we can start to befriend Liu Ye from now on. It may not be impossible for us to use him in the future!"

Duan Hua nodded and replied, "Well, you are right! But, with only the two of us trying to persuade the Emperor, how confident are we..."

Su Shun chuckled and said, "How could it be just the two of us? I've already found Du Han and Mu Yin, so how about adding them?"

Du Han and Mu Yin have always been on good terms with Sushun, and they always follow Sushun's lead in almost everything. Naturally, there will be no problem if they come forward.

Sushun replied, "Brother, at tomorrow's morning court, the two of them will bring this up to the Emperor. Then, we brothers will work hard behind the scenes to make this happen. It won't be difficult. Which of the important officials in Beijing wouldn't want to have such a powerful force protecting them? Senggelinqin can't do anything alone. Haha, he can only suffer this loss in silence!"
