The power of the Taiping army grew day by day, and Hong Xiuquan had gained Nanjing, so he sent the first army of troops and horses to attack Zhenjiang. The Manchurian soldiers in Zhenjiang abandoned the city and fled without firing an arrow; Then the Taiping army won Yangzhou again. The general in command is named Lin Fengxiang, who is very brave; He successively captured Fengyang in Anhui and Guide in Henan, crossed the Yellow River and occupied Huaiqing.

He turned to Shanxi Province, captured Pingyang, and then entered Zhili from Shanxi, captured Pingye, and occupied Gaocheng, and then captured Shenzhou, went up along the canal, and captured Jinghai and Duliu. Another army of soldiers and horses obtained places around Nianzu, Lianzhen, and Fucheng. One day away from the capital is almost one day.

The civil and military ministers of the capital got the news and became scared one by one; The documents of the south to report the lost city were sent to Beijing like snowflakes. The military aircraft received the documents and sent them to the palace overnight.

At this time, the emperor was going deep into the gentle township, ignoring the government and politics, and only a group of ministers were so anxious that they were cornered, waiting outside the noon gate every day, but they did not see the emperor's holy decree come down.

Hong Xiuquan saw that the First Army of the Northern Expedition had won, and then sent two generals, Ji Wenyuan and Li Kaifang, to lead the Second Army, and also fought north. He entered the prosperous states and counties around Anqing, Tongcheng and Shucheng in one step; He also captured Luzhou.

Jiang Zhongyuan, the governor of Anhui, was killed in battle in Luzhou. The Second Army was shocked, and then it was Ke**, and it was in Qingzhou and Gaotang; The governor of Shandong successively reported the Pegasus Express to Beijing.

Xianfeng learned that the war report was urgent, and hurried to the court to discuss the matter. But no one dared to speak.

"Sixth Brother ······" Xianfeng was really about to cry at this time.

Prince Gong stood up and said, "The younger brother recommends two generals, one is General Shengbao of the military department, and the other is the Mongolian monk Gelqin Monk Horqin. ”

"Good, very good!"

"Spread the decree, seal the two of them as the left and right generals, and order Prince Gong's military plane to walk, and admire this." Everyone was in an uproar, this was also rising too fast!

After Emperor Xianfeng named Yixun as Prince Gong, he only let him take up some ceremonial work, such as the anniversary of Emperor Xuanzongcheng (Emperor Daoguang) every year, and sent Prince Gong Yixun to sacrifice to Muling. Mu Ling carried out the soil ceremony, and the ceremony of the feast was also represented by Prince Gong Yixun. In March of the third year of Xianfeng, Emperor Xianfeng ordered Yixin to take charge of the affairs of the Zhongzheng Hall and the Wuying Palace, which was also an idle position.

At this time, it can be said that Yixun is basically still outside the stage of Qing court politics. Yixun also clearly knew that the emperor had scruples about himself, so he was cautious in his words and deeds everywhere, kept his light and kept his secret, and showed clumsiness.

However, with the internal and external difficulties and crises of the Qing Dynasty, Yixun, as a member of the ruling group of the Qing Dynasty, was gradually pushed onto the political stage.

After Yixun praised the military affairs, he first made every effort to encircle and suppress the Northern Expeditionary Army. He aimed at the Northern Expeditionary Army and lived in Zhenhai and Duliu respectively; The attempt to separate the forces of the Qing army emphasized that "it is necessary to gather a large number of troops and attack from all sides in order to annihilate them in one go."

To this end, he tried his best to reconcile the contradictions between the two armies of Shengbao and Seng Lingqin, and made them attack together. At the beginning of the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), the commander of the Shengbao Institute had reached more than 30,000 people, and transferred the Hangzhou general Ruichang and the Shandong political envoy Chong'en to the north, and the number of the Northern Expeditionary Army was less than 10,000 at this time.

The Northern Expeditionary Army held Zhenhai and Duliu for 100 days, and had to break through the siege and retreat south on February 5, 1854, passing through Dacheng County to the eastern town of Hejian Province under the difficult situation of casualties, food exhaustion, and no reinforcements.

Yixun knew that once the Northern Expeditionary Army escaped the Yellow River, it would be difficult to deal with, so Yixun asked Emperor Xianfeng to order Seng Lingqin to lead the Iron Cavalry Team to chase closely and continue to encircle the Northern Expeditionary Army. Emperor Xianfeng secretly admired that he had the overall situation in mind and commanded steadily.

A month later, the Northern Expeditionary Army withdrew to Fucheng and was soon surrounded by 30,000 Qing troops. The Northern Expeditionary Army was lone and deep, and the labor division went on an expedition, and it was already sleepy and lacking in horses, and it was almost the end of the crossbow.

In February 1854, Zeng Lichang, the right deputy prime minister of Xia Guan, Xu Chongyang, and Chen Shibao, deputy prime minister of Xia Guan, led the army, starting from Anqing, passing through Henan, turning to Jiangsu, crossing the Yellow River in the northwest of Xiao County, entering Shandong, and approaching Linqing City, the throat of Caoyun, which was more than 200 miles away from Fucheng, on March 31.

Yixun learned that the reinforcements of the Northern Expedition had crossed the Yellow River, and asked Ling Shengbao to lead more than 10,000 Qing troops to Shandong to intercept them. On April 4, when Shengbao's army arrived on the outskirts of Linqing, the Northern Expeditionary reinforcements finally captured Linqing after a fierce attack on Linqing, and all they could get was an empty city.

As soon as the reinforcements of the Northern Expedition entered the city, they were surrounded by the Qing army. The Fucheng Northern Expeditionary Army learned that the reinforcements were surrounded, so they broke through to the east, captured Dongguang and Liancheng, and wanted to go south to meet the reinforcements.

After consultation, the Northern Expeditionary Army decided to send Li Kaifang to lead the horse team to break through the encirclement, and rushed for two days to successfully attack Gaotang. It is only a few dozen miles away from Linqing, but it is a pity that the reinforcements have been guarding Linqing for several days, seeing that there is no grain and grass in the city, the army is unstable, and has gone south to abandon the city three days ago. In this way, the Northern Expeditionary Army, which originally consisted of only a few thousand people, was divided into two and its forces were even weaker.

Subsequently, Shengbao led the army to surround the Gao Tang regiment. The Northern Expeditionary Army, which remained in Liancheng, held out until March 1855, when it ran out of food. Lin Fengxiang was captured and executed in Beijing on March 15, and the monk Grinqin was named Prince of Bodolektai for his meritorious service. Shengbao attacked Gao Tang for a long time, and was successively punished by removing Hua Ling and resigning from his post.

After the northern expeditionary army of Liancheng was annihilated, Emperor Xianfeng relieved Jing of his guilt and ordered Seng Lingqin to move his division to attack Gaotang. Li Kaifang learned that Lin Fengxiang's troops were destroyed, broke through the siege and went south, and entered Fengguantun in Eping County. Monk Greenqin led the army to surround Fengguantun, and after a long time of attack, the canal flooded Fengguantun. On May 13, Li Kaifang led more than 80 people to break through the siege and was captured, sent to Beijing, and beheaded in June.

At this point, the vigorous Northern Expedition of the Taiping Army was quelled under the suppression of the Qing government's mobilization of national forces. Emperor Xianfeng was overjoyed and rewarded the meritorious personnel. Since he joined the military aircraft, in the past year, he has been awarded the positions of Zongren Mansion Right Zongzheng, Zongling, Dutong, and Military Parade Minister, which can be described as a young ambition and extremely glorious.

In the past year, Emperor Xianfeng and the Yixun brothers have worked hard to eliminate the estrangement and scruples between each other, and strive to create a harmonious brotherly relationship and a harmonious relationship between monarchs and ministers. After the efforts of both sides, it should be said that the effect is obvious. After a year, Yixun has adapted to the arrangement of fate and began to face reality.

What's more, the new emperor has a deep affection for him and cares for him, so Yixin shows a respectful and humble posture everywhere, and Emperor Xianfeng is also more satisfied with Yixin's performance in the past year, so from many actions of Emperor Xianfeng, it can be seen that his trust in Yixin is gradually increasing.

Perhaps in order to further promote the relationship between the two brothers, Emperor Xianfeng specially chose a good day and an auspicious day, and on August 21 of that year, he visited Yixun in the palace of King Xinggong. And the garden imperial book was renamed "Langrun Garden", the pond water in the imperial theme garden is "Moon with Ming Pond", and the rooms of the imperial theme are "Ming Dao Zhai", "Di Hua Xuan", "Cui Xuan", and finally still show the feelings of brotherhood.
