"Express in!" Someone said: "Jiangning is here, two thousand four hundred and forty-five miles, and it takes four days to arrive, it's just a matter of playing with your life!" I can't delay with you. ”

'What?' Eight hundred miles to step up'! Isn't that something new? "According to the rules, the emergency military report will be handed over to the external performance office, and the internal performance office will be transferred to the internal performance office, and the road will be in front of the palace. Such a layer of turns, the music folded into the hands of An Dehai.

Seeing that An Dehai had no belief, the eunuch of the internal performance office couldn't help but explain: "The little one also asked the external performance office, and there is nothing wrong!" He also said that Jiang Ning came to the fold, and in order to meet the deadline, he was so tired that he fell off his horse and passed out there. ”

The eunuch in the internal affairs office was a little anxious, he refused to take the yellow box, so he urged: "Father-in-law An, you can take the box!" After handing over the yellow box, he added: "Send it inside, don't delay!" ”

An Dehai was unhappy, and happened to vent to him: "Delay or not, it's our family's business!" He tilted his head and glared at the pair of goldfish eyes that exploded slightly, looking like a pungent little daughter-in-law, "Can you handle it?" ”

"Little one is a good word for you! This may be the good news that the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces is looking forward to day and night. If it's delayed, you don't want to have a head! An Dehai was surprised and delighted: "What? You say, this is the good news of Jiang Ning's recovery? ”

"It's the most important thing anyway."

An Dehai was careful and asked, "Why didn't the governor of Liangjiang come forward to report?" ”

"Zeng Guofan is in Anqing, but not in Jiangning." After saying that, the eunuch from the internal affairs office went back.

An Dehai arrived at the apse of Changchun Palace and knocked lightly on the door twice. When the palace maid opened the door, An Dehai whispered: "You have to ask for a drive, there is an urgent twist and turn, and you have to return to Ming immediately." ”

The palace maid also had a difficult face, and Cixi was taking a nap at this time.

But An Dehai was already the chief eunuch of Changchun Palace, his words were orders, and he didn't dare to disobey them, so he had to go to wake up the Empress Dowager Cixi.

"Talking back to the master, Father-in-law An said that there was an urgent twist and turn, and asked the slave to come and ask for a driver." After washing her face while being served by the palace maid, she ordered: "Pass Xiao Anzi!" ”

An Dehai was called into the dormitory, looked at the Empress Dowager Cixi sitting in front of the dresser, held a yellow box high above the top, knelt down straight, bowed his head and said: "The master is very happy!" Jiang Ningke is restored! ”

"How do you know?" The cold sentence stunned An Dehai for a moment, but fortunately, he would adapt to the situation, and replied with a smile: "The master is blessed with great fortune, and the slave guessed it." ”

"Guess wrong, slap your mouth. Open it! ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't see the two lines, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth. He only commanded: "You go to 'over there' to have a look, and if you wake up, say that you will meet in the Hall of Heart Cultivation." ”

"Also, send someone to inform Zhang Jing, the military aircraft on duty, to tell the sixth master that there is news from Jiangning!" An Dehai agreed and ran away.

For the past three years, it has been the case, with the "west" being the main thing, and the "east" being the calling. The Empress Dowager Ci'an didn't dare to slack off, but it took a while to freshen up and dress, and when she arrived at the Heart Nourishing Palace, the Empress Dowager Cixi also waited for a while.

After seeing the ceremony in Xinuan Pavilion first, the Empress Dowager Cixi said very calmly: "Sister, good news, Jiang Ning has recovered." ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an said happily and admiringly: "The emperor lives up to his hard work, Zeng Guoquan has made great contributions in the end, and he is really indebted!" "Empress Dowager Cixi thinks a little differently, she thinks that Jiang Ning's recovery should not be too late now.

Zeng Guoquan had already made up his mind to achieve the honor of going straight to Jinling. In April, Li Hongzhang recovered Changzhou, and ordered to march into Jiangning to suppress it, but Li Hongzhang could not advance on the grounds that the soldiers were overworked and had to rest.

In fact, he didn't want to share Zeng Guoquan's work. If there were no such plans, Jiang Ning would have been attacked a long time ago.

The Empress Dowager Cixi said worriedly: "The battle is won, clean up the place, appease the people, this burden will be very heavy in the future!" But I couldn't talk to her in detail for a while, and it was the Minister of War and Aircraft who was going to be summoned to talk about it at this moment.

"Scream!" After saying this, she stood up, paused for a while, and waited for the Empress Dowager Ci'an to walk next to her, and then slowly walked to the Dongnuan Pavilion and ascended to the throne.

The ministers of the military aircraft of the whole class have long been on standby at the military aircraft, although the good news is good, but I have not seen the original music, I don't know the details, is the inner city broken?

There were doubts in my heart

Although Hong Xiuquan committed suicide by poisoning in late April, has his son, Hong Fuyao, who was "supported to succeed to the throne", ever captured? Especially the pseudo "loyal king" Li Xiucheng, this person is eloquent and strategic, and he is indispensable.

If he slips through the net, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not be completely destroyed.

As soon as he arrived at the East Warm Pavilion of the Yangxin Palace, Prince Gong first congratulated. The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces naturally also had some words of condolence, and then sent the original music down. The monarchs and ministers in the hall, the guards and eunuchs outside the hall all smiled and listened attentively.

Empress Dowager Ci'an asked, "What is the inner city?" So Cao Yuying made a "talk". He pointed out Chen for the empress dowager of the two palaces, and the so-called "outer city" in Zeng Guoquan was the capital built during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty.

There are thirteen city gates originally, and the four of them are closed in this dynasty, leaving nine gates such as Zhengyang, Tongji, Jubao, Sanshan, Shicheng, Yifeng, Shence, Taiping, Chaoyang, etc., and the pouring mouth that is blasted open with gunpowder is in Taipingmen.

Just in the southeast of Xuanwu Lake, further east, is Zhongshan, where the Changmao army built two stone fortresses, called "Tianbao City" and "Dibao City". In the spring of this year, Zeng Guoquan captured the "Tianbao City", and the encirclement of Jiangning has been completed.

If the "Dibao City" is captured again in May, Jiangning's recovery will only be sooner or later.

The inner city is the Forbidden City of Ming Taizu, and this dynasty changed it to a garrison city. Ninety-six miles around the outer city, the city base is granite, the city wall is a special giant brick, and the outside is coated with a slurry made of lime and river rice, which is extremely strong.

This one broke the outer city, and Jiang Ning was recovered.

Cao Yuying, with his many years of experience in the Military Aircraft Department, pointed out again: "Presumably, in the past two days, Zeng Guofan still has a twist and turn, and at that time, all the details of the restoration of Jiangning will be known." ”

The Empress Dowager Cixi asked, "Then what should we do in front of us?" ”

"Of course, it's a consolation first. In terms of meritorious deeds, we must wait for Zeng Guofan to open the list before we can propose it. Prince Gong replied.

"Good! Write the purpose right away. ”

"Jiang Ning Kefu, it's almost done." The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at Prince Gong and said, "The military salaries in the past few years have all been raised by the provinces themselves. Now that we want to deal with the aftermath, we can't ask the local government to raise funds on their own, and the household department should have a plan! ”

Prince Gong replied very quickly, and his tone was very stiff: "The household department and the internal affairs government are poor every month, and the expenses in the capital are also large, so we have to find a way to save them!" "The Ministry of Internal Affairs is only responsible for the expenses of the court.
