Xifengkou is destined to be a place where the big knife is famous all over the world, He Huan picked up a ghost-headed knife and knocked Liu Dascar out of the position. Although the Lezi battalion paid five times the casualties, the Manchurian army finally retreated, which was a rare victory for the Qing army. However, no matter how well Xifengkou is fought, it is just a city and a place, and the Qing army is still defeated in the overall situation.

Changchun did not react to the 31st Division's attack on the border wall of the Great Wall, as if he did not know about it at all, that is, he did not dispatch all units to cooperate, nor did he order the 31st Division to withdraw its troops. However, the cabinet sent receptive officials to Rehe, apparently agreeing with the early offensive of the Qing army by the various ministries and the incorporation of Rehe into the territory of Northern Manchuria. This attitude can easily be interpreted as acquiescence.

Since Changchun acquiesced to the mobilization of troops, everyone didn't need to wait and see in Rehe, just say hello! On the second day after the 31st incident entered the passes of the Great Wall, all the departments in Rehe took action and rushed to the side walls of the Great Wall. There is still a lack of a command headquarters above everyone, but against the Qing army, they don't have to worry too much about this. Several division and brigade commanders telegraphed and discussed, and then began their life of attacking cities and plundering land. All of a sudden, the passes of the Great Wall were in an emergency, among which Gubeikou, Wallziling, Huangsongyu and other places were the most critical.

Not only did the various units on the border between Mongolia and Eastern begin to attack, but even the 7th Mixed Brigade stationed at Shanhaiguan also joined in and began to storm Yibianshi, Yiyuankou, Shanhaiguan and other places. The 7th Mixed Brigade belongs to the Fengtian War Zone, and it has an innocent background, and it is a member of the Huaiyang department, so there is no need for them to join in this fun. Now it is also attacking fiercely, and it is clear that he wants to grab credit. In this incident, the Huaiyang Department performed extremely well, won the trust of the generals, and had many cadres in the central government. Their attitude at this time often represents Changchun's attitude, that is to say, Changchun also wants to attack the Guannai, but he is still hesitating for some reason.

Why did Changchun hesitate, the generals of the various ministries couldn't control it, and it was enough to know what to do. Therefore, the various ministries that are geographically close to the border have taken action and have to fight for a share of the credit. The three cavalry brigades of the Xilin Gol League and the Zhao-Uganda League were unwilling to be lonely when they saw that Shanhaiguan had moved. They couldn't reach the Great Wall, so they directly attacked the Chahar Eight Banners and continued the western development of North Manchuria. Chahar Eight Banners were already in harmony with the Qing Dynasty, and they have also received a lot of benefits from Northern Manchukuo over the years, and they have also been dissatisfied with their poor days. So this time, when the army came, a group of princes simply rebelled and spread the word to naturalize Northern Manchuria.

Chahar's rebellion killed the imperial court. The imperial court had previously deployed defenses in Northern Manchuria, piling up the main forces on the Great Wall in the east, and the troops in the west were seriously insufficient. If Chahar gives way, the Manchurian iron cavalry can directly knock on the monolith. Only three days after the Chahar mutiny, the Manchurian army captured Dushikou and Zhangjiakou, and even took Xuanhua and Chicheng in two ways, and the troops pointed directly at Yanqing, the northwest gateway of the Beijing Division. If Yanqing is lost, the Manchurian iron cavalry can reach the city of Jingshi, and the imperial court can only flee south this time. As for the Han forces in the south, whether they will be loyal to the foreign court of the Qing Dynasty can only depend on the will of heaven.

When the news from all over the world came back to Jingshi, the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces cried again, and Yixin was so anxious that she almost vomited blood. On the one hand, he could only urgently order Li Hongzhang to rectify the defense of Zhili and block the Manchurian army on the periphery of the Beijing Division, while thinking hard about how to deal with it. The most head-scratching thing is that the imperial court still can't figure out what happened. After Liu Kun returned to Beijing, he refused to say a word except for knocking on the que and asking for death, and no one knew what his observation group was doing in Fengtian.

"Although I urgently ordered troops to be sent to the king, it is difficult to quench the thirst of the distant water! After Zeng Guofan died of illness, the Hunan army could only rely on Zeng Guoquan, but this Zeng Jiu was really hateful. The court is so critical, but he has been grinding, and the court has issued several urgent orders, but he is still delayed by the Yangtze River! "Yiyun is honest now, but he still hasn't forgotten to scold.

"Li Hongzhang's Huai army is trying its best, but the Huai army in Zhili is limited, and the rest of the troops will enter Zhili, at least half a month, if it is said that the deployment will be completed, it will take at least one month. The Manchurian army is attacking fiercely, I'm afraid I can't wait! "Baojun is not in the mood to fight with Yiyun and the others, but the situation in front of him is too critical.

"Sixth Master, what do you say you should do?" Cixi supported Yi Xin to suppress Yi Xin, but when it came to the emergency, she still had to rely on Yi Xin.

"Although Wei Rugui's troops blocked the advance of the Manchurian Army in Yanqing, the follow-up battle was by no means optimistic. If Guoxing Ah really waved his army into the customs with all his might, it would be difficult for the imperial court to resist, and the current situation was only a way to seek peace. The minions had already interviewed the consuls of the great powers, and they did not want the war to expand, so the imperial court could use them to put pressure on Changchun, and then they would mediate, and the imperial court would negotiate peace with Goxinga. Yi Xin tried her best and finally came out with a way. Yanqing was defending to the death, and the passes on the side wall were also in a hurry, and he really didn't dare to fight it.

"You are a traitor! Guo Xing'a rebelled against the sky, he is a heinous sinner, what does the court have to talk about with him! Yi Xun habitually blamed his brother.

"He is heinous, can you go to Changchun to arrest him and ask him for his crimes? The Manchurian army is strong, the imperial court is definitely not an opponent, and if it does not seek peace, how can it protect the temple and the community? Yi Xin didn't get used to her brother this time, and Yi Xun was speechless after a word.

"It is true that there is only one way to seek peace, but why is Guoxing'a so rebellious, we still don't know the truth, and how can we negotiate with Changchun?" Ci'an has never liked fighting, and he knows that Yixin's method is the only way out for the imperial court.

"Concubine Li and Liu Kunyi, who knew the inside story, were all bent on seeking death and refused to reveal half a word. Others only knew that there was a coup d'état in Mukden at that time, the observation group captured Guoxing'a, Shi Dianchen, Jiang Baishu and others raised troops to make a rebellion, but they didn't know the inside story! Wen Xiang is also at a loss, he doesn't know the specific situation, and he really can't negotiate peace.

"Call them both to the palace! Let's ask again, now that this time has come, the mourners can only beg them! Cixi's tears flowed even harder.

Cixi's decree was not very long, and Liu Kunyi, who described the withered Liu, and Concubine Li, who had a heart like water, were sent to Zhongcui Palace. The two palaces still began with crying, but the two people sitting on the embroidery pier were unmoved, and refused to mention half a word except that they still wanted to die. Yi Xin persuaded hard for a long time, but these two did not react, and the two of them were like walking corpses, and they were already in despair.

"The imperial court has reached the point where the society has collapsed and the temple has collapsed. Otherwise, the Manchurian army will invade Beijing, and the foundation of our Qing Dynasty for 200 years will be completely destroyed! Cixi suddenly got up and knelt directly in front of the two.

"Queen Mother, don't do this!" Concubine Li and Liu Kunyi hurriedly got up to avoid it, and they also fell to their knees.

"It's all ministers, it's the ministers who saw that Shi Dianchen and Jiang Baishu had the intention to return to the court anyway, so they united them to launch a coup d'état, and captured Guoxing'a and a group of cabinet officials in North Manchuria. Unexpectedly, Guoxing'a, a traitor, was rescued by someone, and his plan to subdue Northern Manchukuo fell short. It's the minister who is sorry for the court and has caused a big disaster to the court, and the minister is sorry for the emperor and the queen mother, and the minister is willing to die! Please the emperor, the queen mother and all the lords, kill the minister, and use the head of the minister to negotiate peace with Guoxing! Liu Kunyi finally had a statement.

"Da Xianzhuang, you have only been in Fengtian for a few days, how can you settle with Shi Dianchen, Jiang Baishu and others, and how can you make such a big thing in a short period of time? And you were put back by Guo Xing'a, if Guo Xing'a cared about your head, he would have killed you in Tongliao, why bother with the court killing you! "Yi Xin is about to go crazy, who is Liu Kunyi defending? Why just don't you tell the truth?

"Please give the minister a death! The minister has nothing to say! Liu Kunyi also cried, but he still refused to let go, and the angry Yiyun had the heart to pull him out and inflict the ten tortures of the Manchu Dynasty.

"No need to argue! I did it, and everything was my deployment! Zhong Cui cried and cried in the palace, making it as if the Qing Dynasty had fallen to the country, and the Son of Heaven of the Qing Dynasty finally stood up.

"Your Majesty!" Yi Xin and the others all looked at Tongzhi in surprise, but they didn't expect it to be this young master's arrangement.

"If you don't do your best for me, will I have no loyal servants to use?" The little emperor was still dissatisfied with his uncle.

The little emperor came out to admit the account, explained the cause and effect, and everything was clear. At that time, Cixi and Yixin joined forces and sent the Baitang A guards at the sticky pole to force Su Shun to death, and everyone thought that Su Shun was dead and it was over, but they didn't think that Su Shun wrote a testament to Tongzhi before he died. In this testament, Su Shun did not complain about his death, nor did he complain about Tongzhi anything, but planned a grand plan for Tongzhi to reign over the world.

Su Shun carefully analyzed the situation in the imperial court for Tongzhi, asserting that Cixi and Yixin would turn against each other sooner or later, and Yixin would also take the opportunity to rise. Su Shun suggested Tongzhi to use the power of the Queen Mother to suppress Yixin, and then use the courtiers to balance and take back the rights that belonged to Tongzhi himself. As for how Tongzhi got rid of the Queen Mother, Su Shun planned a great achievement for Tongzhi to collect the heart of the world and force the Queen Mother to return to the deep palace. This achievement was to capture Guoxinga and recover Northern Manchuria.

In Su Shun's view, although the outbreak in Northern Manchuria, although the power is noisy, there are also many hidden dangers such as many factions, as long as they are used well, they can be subdued in one fell swoop. Chengshan, as a lonely rebellious son, entered Northern Manchuria and became a spy, and at the same time, Wang Kaiyun and other six gentlemen of Sumen also took action. Plotting against Shi Dianchen, Jiang Baishu, and lobbying Bi Yuntao are all their handiwork. And the achievements of these people were all summarized into the hands of Tongzhi through secret channels.

When the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity came, Tongzhi personally entered the deep palace and said that Concubine Li was moved, and then began the plan of the Tongzhi Emperor to recover Northern Manchuria. It is better to have more than a dozen small feudal towns, and it is better to take advantage of foreign countries than to take Guoxinga in one fell swoop, this is Su Shun's last plan. It's a pity that Tongzhi still fell short, Guo Xing'a escaped, Bi Yuntao died, and then the Manchurian army came to the city.

The purpose of Tongzhi's plan, one is to prosper the country, and the other is to establish its own prestige, which has always been carried out in secret. Now that he has messed up, he is like a child who has done something wrong, saying nothing and refusing to let others know. Liu Kunyi and Concubine Li were also worried that things would fall and Tongzhi would be criticized, so they fought to the death to protect Tongzhi.

"The sun is clear, and the loyalty of Su Zhongtang can show the sun and the moon!" Du Han, who was already very marginalized, sighed for his old comrades.
