Time Travel to 1859: The Iron-Blooded Soldier King

"enough!"

Xianfeng roared!

Yi Xin and Wo Ren quickly stopped arguing and knelt on the ground. The emperor was angry, so it was better for them to be honest.

Xianfeng shouted, "Immediately send a swift horse to deliver the imperial edict, appointing Liu Ye as a doctor in the Lifanyuan, and ordering him to return to the capital immediately upon receiving the order!"

"emperor!"

Upon hearing Emperor Xianfeng's decree, Weiren was immediately anxious. Damn, how could this be possible? Six months ago, he was an unknown soldier, not even holding an external commissioned position. In just three months, he was promoted from battalion commander and captain to a third-rank assistant commander, and then to a fifth-rank doctor. This step is too big! This Liu Ye is not even twenty years old yet!

Xianfeng looked at Weiren with a cold gaze and shouted, "Weiren, are you proficient in foreign affairs? Can you understand what those foreigners are saying? If so, I will make you the head military minister, how about it?"

Woren shrank back in fear. The head military minister? He really wanted to sit on it, but he had to be lucky. Those foreigners gave him a headache just by looking at them, let alone handling foreign affairs...

Seeing that Woren had stopped talking, Xianfeng shouted, "Since you don't have the ability, just stay there quietly and don't interrupt me!"

After an order was given, a eunuch led two guards on fast horses and galloped all the way to Tongzhou.

From Beijing City to Tong County, it is only a little over a hundred miles, and it only takes two or three hours to travel by fast horse.

At this time, Liu Ye had just completed the formation of the Firearm Battalion. All of his forty or fifty new recruits from Dagukou were transferred to the Firearm Battalion by Liu Ye, and each of them became a small leader. These people had been trained by him for a period of time and had quite good abilities. After another three months of training in Tong County, the task would be accomplished. It cannot be said that all of them were talented generals, but at least a battalion of four or five hundred people would not have too many problems.

Of course, the most powerful of these people now is just a small sixth-rank captain, who commands a station of troops for Liu Ye and is responsible for training affairs. However, Xiao Hai, who is now close to the water, has become the captain of the central army of the firearm battalion, responsible for commanding the troops of a station of the central army.

However, the most important thing for Liu Ye now is to train these forty or fifty people first. Although they have undergone rigorous training in Dagukou, they have not received much training in shooting with foreign guns, and there are even fewer people who understand the tactical command of hot weapons. Their comprehensive abilities must be improved as soon as possible.

Liu Ye has been intensively training them for more than half a month. These people have made great progress and have a deeper understanding of military command. They admire Liu Ye even more. It seems that there is nothing this guy doesn't understand!

Just as Liu Ye was training intensely, the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict arrived. Three war horses raised a cloud of dust and galloped towards them from far away, which had already alarmed them.

Zhang Yi frowned and shouted, "Notify the guards at the camp gate immediately to stop them. I'll be right there!"

Although I don't know what's going on, the other party is galloping so fast, obviously he is in a hurry.

By the time Zhang Yi arrived at the door, three war horses had already arrived.

The chief eunuch leaped down from his horse and shouted, "The imperial edict has arrived. Counselor Liu Ye, receive it immediately!"

Liu Ye was shocked and immediately knelt down. The soldiers behind him also knelt down one by one.

"Liu Ye, the Commander-in-Chief of the Firearms Battalion, is well-versed in foreign affairs and has been invited by foreign envoys to Beijing. The situation is urgent, and Liu Ye is promoted to the position of Doctor of the Lifanyuan. He must immediately come to Beijing to see the Emperor and be ready for use. Upon receiving the order, he must return to Beijing immediately! This is my order!"

Doctor of the Lifanyuan!

This is a fifth-rank official position, and it is a civil position, not a military position. If you go one step further, it will be the fourth-rank prefect or governor!

The soldiers around were all shocked when they heard the imperial edict. They thought their lieutenant was promoted too quickly. If a person is lucky, there is nothing that can stop him!

He closed the imperial edict overnight and said with a smile, "Liu Canling, congratulations! The emperor is favoring you. Your rapid rise to prominence is just around the corner!"

This is a happy occasion, and according to the rules, Liu Ye should hand over the usual red envelope.

Liu Ye had received advice from Senggelinqin and Prince Gong, so how could he not understand that the eunuch in front of him was a high-ranking official of the fifth rank and was also the emperor's close attendant, so he must not be offended.

Liu Ye took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and handed it to Lian Ye, saying with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, eunuch and the two guards. This is just a small gift from me as tea money for you..."

He opened the envelope that night and found three silver notes inside. Although he didn't know the exact amount, he thought it must be not small. He smiled and said, "Liu Cangling is very polite. We can't afford it. It's really embarrassing."

Liu Ye hurriedly asked, "Eunuch Lian, what is going on in the capital? Why is the emperor so anxious that he wants me to come to the capital?"

Lian Ye whispered, "Liu Cangling, I'm afraid you don't know yet. The envoys of Britain, the United States, France, and Russia have come to the capital and put forward harsh conditions to our Qing Dynasty, including ceding territory and paying indemnities. The stalemate has lasted for over a month, and there's still no sign of a solution. The Emperor is extremely anxious. Prince Gong personally recommended you to preside over the negotiations between the capital and the four countries..."

Liu Ye was shocked. The envoys of four countries came to Beijing together. This was something they had never encountered in the Opium War in the previous life!

Liu Ye nodded, turned around and shouted: "Zhu Hai, Lu Di!"

Zhu Hai and Lu Di hurried over and said, "Captain!"

Liu Ye said, "Did you two hear clearly just now? The Emperor has urgently summoned me to the capital. I'll be gone for three to five days at the earliest, or nearly a month at the latest. While I'm away, you two will be responsible for all training matters in the camp. Remember this, you must be extremely strict and absolutely do not relax at all. When I return, if you don't meet my satisfaction, watch out for your heads!"

The two men quickly agreed, and Zhu Hai asked, "Brother, won't you bring a few brothers with you when you go to the capital this time?"

Liu Ye shook his head and replied, "No need. You guys train hard. We don't need you right now. If the negotiations stall, there will definitely be a big fight. Then it will be our turn to take action. If we lose someone, don't say you are my subordinates. I can't afford to lose that person!"

"twitter!"

After Liu Ye finished handling the affairs in the camp, he said to Lian Ye, "Eunuch Lian, you've had a hard time on the journey. Could you please have some wine first? Then we can set off."

Lian Ye smiled bitterly and said, "Master Liu, let's forget about it this time. The Emperor is in a hurry, and I have to go back immediately to report. When I have free time, I will definitely bother you again..."
