These conditions in North Manchu are actually supported by some people, such as Li Hongzhang, Zhang Zhidong and other pragmatists, especially Li Hongzhang. Although these conditions of Northern Manchukuo are all infiltration of the Qing Dynasty, they will also bring huge economic benefits, and can drive the industrial and economic development of the relevant regions, pragmatic people naturally support, and the imperial court is not unacceptable. But the last condition of North Manchurian is difficult for everyone to accept, Guo Xing'a wants the mastermind of this incident to die, and it is ugly to die.

Bi Yuntao couldn't say it clearly, Shi Dianchen and the others didn't know the inside story, Chengshan committed suicide again, and Guo Xing'a didn't know who planned and designed him at all. The meaning of his request was nothing more than to ask the court to give him an explanation, of course, the wording was inevitably a little harsh. But the leaders of the imperial court don't know Guo Xing'a, and they don't know! Everyone still thinks that Guo Xing'a already knows that Tongzhi did it, and this time it is Tongzhi's life! Everyone was very embarrassed, and at the same time very embarrassed, executing the king of a country to apologize, which has never happened since ancient times.

"Sixth Master, can't you discuss it anymore?" The leaders of the Qing Dynasty gathered again in the Zhongcui Palace to discuss the future fate of the Qing Dynasty, and Ci'an asked his most capable uncle with tears in his eyes.

Luan Yu was resolute and refused to back down the conditions he proposed. This last one has been insisted on again and again, and there is no room for negotiation! The slave once proposed that the slave go to Changchun in person, ask Yun Xian for the guilt, and let Yun Xian deal with it, how can Luan Yuluan Yujian not allow it! Yi Xin's hair was much grayer, like an old man in his sixties and seventies.

Everyone fell silent, and Goxinga had to die together, which was really unnegotiable. No one can speak, and the attitude of showing half a word at this time is a great disrespectful sin, and Tongzhi and the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces will definitely hold a grudge for the rest of their lives. Faced with a helpless situation, everyone can only choose not to say a word. In the Zhongcui Palace, in addition to the cry of the Queen Mother of the two palaces,

"At this point, there's nothing to talk about. Most of the Hunan army and the Huai army have already passed Bazhou, so let's assign and deploy as soon as possible! The slave is willing to take command in person, and the court can only fight with Yun Xian to the end. Everyone was silent, and the old and tired Yixin could only stand up again.

"Uncle Six!" Tongzhi was a little distracted.

"Please make an edict from the emperor to make Liu Kunyi the deputy of the minion! If this battle is won, the minions will fight against the party for the court, and if they lose, the minions and Liu Kunyi will be the masterminds of this incident! Yi Xin is also prepared with both hands, he wants to protect the temple community.

"Sixth Uncle (Sixth Master) ......" Ci'an and Tongzhi are a little excited, and Yixin is still reliable at the critical moment!

"Shaoquan, how is this victory?" Cixi was much calmer, and did not dwell too much on Yixin, but asked Li Hongzhang, who was more experienced in warfare. Because Cixi knew one thing very well, if the imperial court launched a large-scale war against Northern Manchuria, everything would be easy to say if it was victorious, and if it was defeated, there would be no need to study any mastermind issues, and Northern Manchukuo would inevitably destroy the imperial court.

"Back to the Queen Mother, the various units of the Manchurian Army that attacked the pass this time are not the main force of the Manchurian Army, but just the border garrison troops! Changchun did not make unified arrangements for them, and selected coaches, but the departments attacked at will. But even so, all the ministries I engaged in were in a bitter battle. Li Hongzhang is an old slippery head, he didn't say what the victory or defeat was, but just truthfully stated the battle situation in the early stage.

"Yanqing Wei Rugui's department has more than 6,000 people in the five battalions of the Huai Army, more than 2,000 soldiers in the Eight Banners, more than 7,000 soldiers in the Green Battalion, more than 15,000 people in various departments and regiments, and a total of more than 30,000 mercenaries. After 11 days of bloody battles, the city of Yanqing was powdered, and the remnants of Wei Rugui's troops were less than 2,000. The Manchurian army, with a total of more than 18,000 troops, lost less than 500 men in the front and rear battles. Li Hongzhang seemed to be afraid that everyone would not understand, so he explained the results of Yanqing in detail.

"There are more than 3,000 people in the Lezi battalion of He Huan's department, which is the strongest army on the border wall of Zeng Wenzheng's father-in-law. However, after seven days of hard fighting, Xifengkou changed hands, and most of the headquarters were lost. However, He Huan used his troops flexibly, did not retreat in defeat, wandered in the mountains and forests single-mindedly, and attacked the Manchurian army's grain route, which was to insist on being the horn of Zunhua. However, the success of He Huan's department also relied on the support of friendly troops from all departments, and the defenders of the passes of the Great Wall fought for many days, with the sacrifice of more than 30,000 people, He Huan provided cover! Li Hongzhang saw that Tongzhi and the others were displeased, and hurriedly made up for He Huan, who played quite well, but He Huan's luck was too big, and he had to make it clear.

"Shaoquan, you don't have to prevaricate, if the main force of the Manchurian Army comes to fight, what should it do?" Cixi also had a solemn face, but she was not displeased.

"The minister has seen the main force of Manchuria with his own eyes in Japan, and the military appearance, training, and equipment are all first-class in the world, even if the armies of the great powers are not enough. The 1st Division, the main force of Manchuria, had more than 22,000 troops, complete cavalry, infantry, artillery, engineering, and baggage, and possessed only one heavy weapon, including two 202-mm heavy howitzers, 32 150-mm guns, 24 122-mm cannons, 48 105-mm guns, 76 105-mm light guns, 256 70-mm rifle guns, and 75-mm mountain guns. Even if you don't consider the performance of weapons, just in terms of weapon firepower, one infantry division can withstand the 100,000 people of our imperial army. Moreover, the Manchurian Army also has terrible weapons such as airships, and if they are put into battle at the same time, their actual combat power is almost immeasurable! Li Hongzhang not only went to Japan to make a fun time for Guoxing'a, he observed the Manchurian Army in detail, and all kinds of things he saw and heard in his heart.

"How many main divisions did the Manchurian Army have?" Cixi's voice was already trembling a little.

"As far as the minister knows, Manchuria has 21 main divisions, 13 condensed garrison divisions, and more than 30 independent brigades of various types." Li Hongzhang refused to say a word about superfluous things, just a simple statement, and he was already in a very hateful position.

"Alas! Sixth Master, you concentrate on making peace with Luan Yu! We girls have something to say! Cixi sighed, and then drove all the foreign ministers out, and herself, Ci'an and her son, whispered behind closed doors.

The mother and son talked until midnight, and no one knew what they said, but in the middle of the night, Tongzhi laughed and left, and Ci'an cried and fainted a few times. Cixi did not shed a single tear, fell into contemplation like a sculpture, and stayed in Ci'an's palace, not leaving. Later, it was Li Lianying and others, who couldn't say anything, and helped Cixi back. But when she returned to her own palace of storage and embroidery, Cixi was still in contemplation, not eating or drinking, and not saying a word to anyone.

The peace talks between Yi Xin and others soon came to an end, and the reluctant imperial court accepted all the conditions put forward by the dissatisfied continent. Of course, the last one, the two sides still haven't reached an agreement, Luan Yu is not in a hurry, and Yixin also needs to wait for the palace to say. But there is no such thing as Cixi and Ci'an, one crying all day long, the other meditating all day, neither of them is on the council. Emperor Tongzhi began to play crazy, and every day was a private visit to Weifu, and the location of the private visit was limited to the eight major alleys.

I don't know if I'm afraid of knocking down the courtiers, or if Tongzhi has any special hobbies, Tongzhi never goes to those high-end places, and most of the days are in low-class places such as secret doors. This kind of place to do things when you enter the door, there is not even a table and banquet, and the girl is even worse, and I don't know what Tongzhi is for, so she tosses here every day. Tongzhi made a lot of trouble, lingering in such an inferior place, he was able to forget about the court, and there was a record of not returning all night.

For Tongzhi's nonsense behavior, Yixin and others couldn't bear it, and the group found the queen mother of the two palaces and asked Tongzhi to clean himself. But the reaction of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces was very strange, Ci'an just cried and refused to say anything. Cixi, who had been silent, also shed tears little by little, but she did not say a word. Everyone couldn't figure out for a while, whether the queen mother of the two palaces was sad that her son didn't study well, or whether she had something else to hide.

"Just wait in peace!" In the end, she was forced by the ministers, and Cixi said a sentence that was not next to each other.

Everyone waited for more than ten days in a daze, and finally got the result, and the same treatment fell ill. When Yi Xin heard the news, a layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on her back, and the meaning of this news was too deep. If Tongzhi had died of illness, the ruin of the peace talks in Northern Manchukuo would have ended there, and the strange behavior of Cixi and Ci'an would have been perfectly explained. But tiger poison doesn't eat children! Cixi and Ci'an actually decided to let Tongzhi die, which is really frightening.

After entering the palace to greet him, all the ministers were a little flustered. Tongzhi's illness was so violent that the whole person fell into a coma because of fever, and a large number of blisters appeared on his body, and he began to suppurate and rupture. The doctors said that Tongzhi had smallpox, and they were all using smallpox medicine to diagnose and treat it, but the disease of Tongzhi did not improve at all. The ministers are all old rivers and lakes, and after seeing the disease of Tongzhi, and thinking about what Tongzhi did a while ago, anyone can guess what disease Tongzhi has. But I can't say that! The dignified king of a country in the Qing Dynasty actually got a dirty disease, no one can say this!

At the same time, everyone is also very anxious, if Tongzhi really has that kind of disease, with the current treatment, he will definitely die. But how to change the symptomatic medicine is a problem, no one can say that, and there is no way to change the medicine. Yi Xin and a few other wise men were all silent. As we all know, some things are deliberate. Some people are gone, and they can save the lives of the Qing Dynasty. The society is important, the monarch is light, and when needed, Tongzhi must also sacrifice for the Qing Dynasty.

On the second day of the fourth month of the thirteenth year of Tongzhi, Emperor Tongzhi died in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, and an era ended. Before the ministers could wake up from the collapse of the mountain, a small sedan chair had already carried a four-year-old child into the palace. The second son of Prince Yiyun was supported by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces to succeed him in front of Tongzhiling. The queen of Tongzhi, Arut, cried and made a fuss, as if she had some hidden intentions, but she was forcibly pulled away by Cixi. Yi Xin and others were shocked and inexplicable, but they also had to accept this fait accompli.

After the emperor's funeral, the peace talks finally came to fruition. Luan Yu was very surprised by Tongzhi's death, but he also acquiesced to this result, and the peace treaty was successfully signed. Northern Manchurian did not remove the name of the Great Qing Dynasty, and Guo Xing'a was still called the Great General, but Northern Manchurian no longer used the name of the Great Qing Dynasty, and 1876 would be the first year of Guangxu of the Great Qing Dynasty, but it would be the first year of Zhongzheng in Northern Manchuria.
