Guoxing's war with the Russians in the Outer Northeast was turned upside down, and the Qing court watching the battle was happy, and everyone thought that Wenxiang's plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf had succeeded. The millions of troops on both sides of Goxinga and the Russian army killed rivers of blood on thousands of kilometers of fronts, but the imperial court still felt that it was not enjoyable, and they hoped that the scale of the war would be larger. After all, if Russia is killed, the external troubles will be calmed, and if the Guoxinga is disabled, the internal strife will be quelled, no matter what the war looks like, it is good news for the imperial court.

However, this major good news, the dignitaries can only talk about a few words of relief when they are free, and the imperial court still has no time to pay attention to this war that has little to do with them. The world of the Qing Dynasty is currently far away from Heqing Haiyan, but there is still a long way to go, and there are too many things for adults to worry about.

Hong Xiuquan was killed by Zeng Guoquan and returned to heaven and earth, and the young king Hong Tianguifu and the remnants of the gang were basically killed in battle, and Ling Chi was late, but the remnants of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom were still not cleared, and they were still making trouble everywhere in South China. The twisting army made a lot of trouble, and after killing the monk Grinqin and forcing Zeng Guofan to be disgraced, they began to flow east and west again, just like Li Zicheng back then, making the entire Central Plains unpeaceful. Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang, the two big marshals, could only chase them around, trying to solve this gang of rogues, and they didn't know when they would have to wait.

However, what gave Yixin and Su Shun the most headache was the rebellion in the northwest, and Guo Xing'a's prophecy in front of Xianfeng became a reality, but unfortunately the imperial court did not make any preparations. After the sudden uprising of the Hui people in the first year of Tongzhi, Shaanxi alone formed 18 battalions in a short period of time, which spread to Shaanxi, Gansu, Ningxia, Qinghai, and Xinjiang, and swept the entire northwest land. Because the Hui people did not rise up like the Han people because their lives were unsustainable, and they all suddenly broke out when they were full of food and drink, so the local Qing troops left behind did not have any defense against them, and the Hui army became bigger in an instant.

The Hui army besieged Xi'an for more than a year, and also besieged Tongguan, which once threatened the choke point of Shaanxi, Jin, and Henan and the area along the riverside of Shanxi. Soon after the Shaanxi Hui uprising, they made contact with the old Hui people in Hezhou, Gansu, and occupied Taizhou and Qin'an in the autumn of the same year. In the following year, Pingliang, Guyuan, Xining, Didao, Hezhou, and Ningxia were successively occupied by the Hui army. In the fifth year of Tongzhi, when Zhang Zongyu and other troops of the Twist Army of Liang entered Shaanxi, the Shaanxi Hui rebel army, which had retreated to Gansu, went east one after another, trying to use the Twist Army to contain the Qing army and attack Shaanxi again. The Hui army in Gansu also developed rapidly, forming four rebel bases in Gansu centered on Jinjibao, Hezhou, Xining, and Suzhou, and the leaders were Ma Hualong, Ma Zhanao, Ma Guiyuan, and Ma Wenlu, and their momentum was no worse than that of Shaanxi. It was not until the fifth year of Tongzhi that Zuo Zongtang went out of the northwest of the town, suppressed the momentum of the Western Twist Army, and focused on attacking the Hui Army, and the situation in the northwest was a little more stable.

Shaanxi is preserved, but the west of Gansu is still in turmoil, and no matter what the future holds, the vitality of the northwest will not be relieved for thirty or fifty years. The Hui uprising was completely different from the Han uprising, they did not come against the Qing Emperor, but against the Han people, it was a religious war and a national war, so their primary target was not the government but the people. The Hui army went there and killed there, and they killed people when they saw them, slaughtered the city if they could beat the town, and killed all the people in the village if they couldn't take the town. The Han people in the northwest didn't know what a heretic was, nor did they understand what a religious war was, and they all thought that it would be okay to be honest and obedient to the people, but the result was that the whole village and city were killed.

The massacre of the Hui army has withered the population of the northwest, and Shengbao, Duolonga, and Zuo Zongtang have put down chaos in the northwest, and they have almost been killed. It's not that these commanders are thirsty for killing, it's that their soldiers are crazy. The troops that have entered the northwest to quell the turmoil are either the northwest garrison that previously assisted the mainland, or the local Han people, who have seen the tragic situation in the countryside, and there is not a single one who is not red-eyed. The Hui army is in charge of killing and buriing, so the scene of the incident is almost unchanged, so that these soldiers who have returned to their homeland can know at a glance what has happened here. From centenarians to three-day-old children, all Han Chinese men were slaughtered. The women were even more miserable, most of them were killed by the queen, naked corpses and ruins. The Han people are not bloodless, but the Hui military uprising was sudden, they were completely defenseless, and there were many Hui soldiers, so they were slaughtered.

The soldiers who returned to the northwest also did the massacre of the city in Jiangnan, but where they slaughtered three times, there was not as miserable as a village in the northwest. When these people saw such a tragic situation in the township, they were able to spare the return army, and immediately launched an even bloodier revenge. When the Hui army was empty in Shaanxi, it was naturally smooth sailing to kill the common people, and when they encountered these veterans who had been in war for a long time, they would not be effective. Moreover, they all use broadswords and spears as their main weapons, and these returning soldiers are all equipped with Manchurian Schneider rifles, and the Hui army is naturally crushed at the touch of a button. Most of the Hui army ran to Gansu, but the Hui people and some remnants of Shaanxi could not escape, and the red-eyed soldiers naturally saw one by one and killed one by one, even if the Hui army surrendered, they refused to let go. Not to mention Shengbao and Duolong, even Zuo Zongtang has no way to control them. The Qing army killed the Hui people indiscriminately, and the Hui army naturally wanted to retaliate. Originally, they attacked the Han people indiscriminately, but now that they have a blood feud, they have done enough. The two sides are stuck in a dead loop, and it won't be over until one side is killed.

The imperial court can't see what the front line is like, but a simple number on the fold is enough to make Yixin and Su Shun vomit blood. Now that the war is still going on, the statistics in many places are not comprehensive, and the population of the northwest has already lost more than 10 million, and when the war ceases and the local government can make comprehensive statistics, it is estimated that the number of population losses will have to double. The hometown of the Great Han Dragon is about to be killed into a no-man's land, how can the court not be in a hurry.

"Sixth, take a look! The trouble caused by Guo Wu has affected us! "The Military Aircraft Department has to face the fires all over the world every day, and everyone is anxious, so Su Shun rushed in in a hurry.

"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Yi Xin can't afford anything now.

"Xinjiang, Xinjiang! Oh! Su Shun only felt that his mouth was dry.

"The whip can't reach it, let them make trouble first!" When the Hui army in Gansu was in turmoil, Xinjiang was in chaos, and there were no less than ten Hui troops in various places, and the imperial court could no longer control Xinjiang. However, Yixin is not worried about Xinjiang, where several separatist forces are pinching and pinching internally, and they cannot threaten the mainland for the time being.

"Russians! The Russians provided a lot of assistance to the rebel chieftain Aguba, and after Aguba swept away all the forces, he had already established a state in southern Xinjiang, and there was also a posture of internal invasion and merging with the Hui army! Su Shun took an eight-hundred-mile rush that had just been delivered, and shouted angrily.
