"Qin Rigang, Li Xiucheng, Li Yucheng and other troops broke through the Jiangbei camp!"

"Shi Dakai united with Qin Rigang to relieve the siege of Zhenjiang and succeeded!"

"Wei Changhui's small setback monk king ......"

"Now that the Taiping army is besieging the Jiangnan camp near Tianjing, Zhang Guoliang is no longer able to parry!"

Snowflake reports were passed from Hangzhou, Shanghai, Suzhou and other areas to the headquarters of the Dragon Lance Brigade, and historically, this battle would have lasted until the end of the first half of this year, but now things are going well.

The reason is very simple, that is, Liu Chang sold Shi Dakai Western arms worth six or seven hundred thousand silver, and after getting this batch of munitions, Shi Dakai's combat effectiveness was greatly improved compared with history, and they repeatedly used foreign guns and foreign artillery to break the Qing army near Tianjing.

And this kind of battle report lasted until mid-February, when a decisive battle report was sent to the headquarters of the dragon lance brigade, Qu Jie immediately gathered all the regimental and battalion cadres: "The Jiangnan battalion is broken!" Now it's our turn to strike, there has been no war for more than two months, how are the troops? ”

"Quack!" Jutun had already preemptively said: "All battalions and companies are waiting for orders and are ready to dispatch at any time......"

He added: "Now the Nanxi Brigade has been dispatched!" ”

After getting the exact news that the Wing King had returned to the Tianjing battlefield, the Nanxi Brigade had already launched a small-scale tentative offensive on the Zhejiang-Jiangxi border, and now Qu Jie had pointed to the map on the table and said: "That's right, we launched later, but please rest assured, our Dragon Lance Brigade will be a nine-day thunder as soon as it strikes, and this time we will achieve the most glorious victory in the entire history of the Rainbow Army!" ”

"Hangzhou, Jiaxing, Huzhou, is just the first goal of our campaign, we will turn to southern Jiangsu with lightning speed, and strive to sweep the entire southern Jiangsu before the Taiping army!"

The officers present all showed excited expressions, and an officer over there had already shouted: "Let the Nanxi Brigade be the second in a thousand years!" ”

It's just that Qu Jie continued without hesitation: "But please pay attention, the ultimate goal of our battle this time. It's ...... here."

He pointed to a place name on the map, which was called Nanjing, Jinling, and Jiangning in the Qing side, and Tianjing in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but this would be the ultimate goal of the Dragon Lance Brigade's offensive.

That's right!

This is the Nine Heavens Thunder.

……

"This will be our most critical decision in China!"

This was uttered by a big man, the Royal Governor of Hong Kong and the British diplomatic plenipotentiary in China, His Excellency Governor Bao Ling.

The letter he was holding in his hand was the letter sent by Liu Chang from Ningbo to Fumar. Now the letter has been translated into English and other languages, and is being turned around in the hands of these great people.

"General Liu promised us that they would respect Shanghai's special neutral status and that they could follow the old treaty, but only if we banned the opium trade!" Fumar came from Ningbo to fight for the most favorable terms for Liu Chang: "His promise is a business opportunity for hundreds of millions of Mexican eagles!" ”

"Consul Fumar!" Wen Han issued his own censorship on behalf of the British: "Is General Liu's promise reliable?" ”

"He was a real general. He has always been true to his word, and in Ningbo Port, he has great respect for the British king and British interests! ”

Governor Bao Ling glanced at Fumar, and he could see that the few months of neutrality had made the British diplomat a little confused: "We can't intervene in the Chinese civil war, that's why I rushed to Shanghai from Hong Kong, I hope you can understand!" ”

"I understand!" Consul Fumar insisted on his point of view: "But we should not give up any business opportunities, last year. Although the official opening of Ningbo Port has only been a few months, you should have seen its effect, and nearly one million pounds of industrial goods have flowed into Ningbo Port! ”…,

"No, it's just some munitions and materials, I don't think General Liu Anmen can provide real business opportunities, all he needs is munitions and military-related materials!"

Fumar protested against such accusations: "May I say, are even cotton cloth, steam engines, telegraph lines military supplies? I think this General Liu is a very good person to negotiate with. ”

Governor Bao Ling hesitated for a moment, and finally said a few truthful words: "I also admit privately that this General Liu may be a good negotiation partner. But his policy of banning the opium trade caused too much controversy. It is important to know that many legitimate opium traders have filed complaints with the Royal Government. And hopefully for the Second Opium War! ”

"This is the wrong policy!" Fumar defended himself: "Although the port of Ningbo has banned the opium trade, the total volume of trade has actually doubled, and if every Chinese port has such an increase, we should be glad that it is!" ”

"But I must make it clear that our allies don't like General Yoo!" "The French have always insisted on the right of Catholic missionaries to defend the church," said Governor Bouring, "and our enemies ...... The Russian Empire, which has already publicly stated its possible involvement in the Chinese civil war! ”

"Russians?" Fumar laughed: "Isn't the Crimean War not over yet? ”

"But in the East, they are our allies! The great powers must be unanimous! Wen Han continued: "The bigger question is what we will do with General Liu's troops if they enter the vicinity of Shanghai! ”

"In fact, General Liu's respect for us, in order to get our reply, his troops did not move for two months, waiting for our reply, can you see the awe and sincerity in it?"

Governor Bao Ling said with a wry smile: "The problem is that they will inevitably take action before we answer, and before they take action, we have no authority to reply to General Liu, and this is the problem!" ”

"Why?" Fumar expressed puzzlement: "Because China's military situation will change earth-shattering in a few days, if he does not enter the vicinity of Hangjiahu and Shanghai at this time, he will be a real military idiot!" ”

Governor Bao Ling even added: "What such a military idiot, we don't need to cooperate with him, no matter how sincere he is!" ”

Puzzled, Fumar asked, "What happened?" ”

Governor Bao Ling replied to him: "There will be earth-shattering changes in the Tianjing City!" ”

……

In late February of the sixth year of Xianfeng, the weather was still chilly.

Wei Huichang also felt a little chilly, he looked at the countless yellow battle flags in front of him, and said loudly: "Brothers, hurry up and press on it, and kill a few more demons!" ”

He is the king of the north, the rear guard and deputy military division, the main general of the right army, and now he is the third person in the entire kingdom of heaven, second only to the king of heaven and the king of the east.

It's just that his back is aching faintly, which is the result of the whipping of the East King Yang Xiuqing last year, and his heart is aching faintly when he thinks of the East King's rampant domineering in Tianjing City.

He, the king of the north, the rear guard and the deputy military division, is not even a dog in front of the king of the east!

Just as he sighed, he saw someone grab his shoulder again: "North King, North King!" There are good things, there are good things! ”

Wei Changhui looked back, but it was the famous Xu Zongyang, and he asked, "Why are you here?" What happened in Tianjing City? ”

Xu Zongyang is the right twenty Chengxuan of the North Palace, he is also a number one person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but he is definitely the number one unlucky person.

He was originally the commander of the seventh right of the palace, and when the Northern Expeditionary Army was in the first wave of reinforcements, he marched north with Huang Yiyun and Zhu Xikun, but the troops strayed into **, the camp was on fire, and almost the whole army was wiped out, only Xu Zongyang fled back to Tianjing. …,

Then the second wave of reinforcements from the Northern Expeditionary Army was dispatched, and he was the deputy prime minister of the winter official, but in the Linqing this wave of tens of thousands of reinforcements collapsed instantly, Xu Zongyang fled back to Tianjing, but this time he didn't have the good luck of the last time, and was directly questioned by the king of the east, imprisoned in the east prison, and suffered a lot.

In the future, he still relied on Wei Changhui's relationship to re-serve as the twenty-fourth Chengxuan of the North Palace, and now he said happily: "Back to Tianjing, back to Tianjing, the edict of the King of Heaven!" ”

"Back to Tianjing?"

Now he is surrounded by Wei Huichang's cronies, and Wei Huichang said without scruples: "Yang Xiuqing is really so frustrated, that's to ......"

"If you want to be Cao Cao!" Xu Zong raised his eyebrows and said: "The Heavenly King has endured it for so many years, I can't bear it anymore, this time I enter the East Palace, I want to kill it happily, the prison of the East Prison, I will remember it in the next life!" ”

Wei Huichang asked: "Yang Xiuqing really wants the king of heaven to crown him as long live?" ”

"That's right!" Xu Zongyang replied: "This is a living Cao Cao, the secret edict of the Heavenly King is in my hands, let's go back to Tianjing and Zhujun immediately!" ”

"This is a change in Jingjing, I think we were in Bauhinia Mountain back then, what a good friendship it was!" Wei Huichang sighed: "The heroes of the world can share hardships and hardships, but they can't share prosperity!" ”

Xu Zongyang urged and said: "I have to hurry back to Tianjing City, this time the Secret Emperor sent three copies, one for you, one for the Wing King, and one for Qin Rigang!" In case the Wing King arrives first, with his mercy, the situation will be unimaginable! ”

"Shi Dakai is a little kid, he hasn't even mixed up with the military division, how can he be compared with me, as for Qin Rigang, it's not worth mentioning!" Wei Huichang snorted: "Yang Xiuqing wants to be Cao Cao, then I can only be Liu Bei!" ”

Xu Zongyang never forgot the torture and humiliation he suffered in the East Prison: "This time I entered the East Prince's Mansion, I have to kill all the anger I suffered in the East Prison!" ”

Wei Huichang sighed: "Zong Yang, you're right...... It's time to settle accounts with this living Cao Cao, his relatives of the national sect are all up to the sky, I am not as good as a dog in front of him Yang Xiuqing, since he has acted perversely and forced the king of heaven to seal his nine thousand years old into long live, I also have to raise troops to make it difficult! ”

He ordered loudly: "Withdraw the troops, and the whole army will return to Tianjing!" ”
