Wu Jun's Northern Expedition essay is from Zhao Liewen's brother-in-law Zhou Tenghu's handwriting, although the literary style does not dare to say that it can be compared to the Chen Lin version of Cao Zuo's version of Cao Kuowen, which can cure Cao Lao's head, but also scolded Ci'an, Devil Six and Cao Yuying and other Manchu separatists for being bloody, seven meat and eight vegetarians, and at the same time, according to Wu Chaoyue's requirements, Zhou Tenghu made Ci'an's crime of holding Xianfeng's edict to force Cixi to agree to establish a pseudo-state state, not only pushed all the charges of splitting China to Ci'an and Devil Six and others, also officially disclosed the edict left by Emperor Xianfeng to deal with Cixi!

In addition, Wu Junwen naturally had to take a vicious threat to the accomplices and lackeys who dared to give Ci'an and Devil Zi Liu and others the tiger, and asked the civil and military officials and military and civilian people of the puppet Manchu State to see the trend clearly, recognize the current affairs, and quickly open the city gate to welcome the army of the King of Zhennan, or directly kill the leaders of the chaotic party such as Devil Liu, Cao Yuying, Yi Cheng, Yi Xun, etc., and present their heads to reward!

If not, as soon as the army of the king of Zhennan arrives, he will be responsible for the consequences!

After the official release of this article, the puppet Manchurian State lurking in the capital immediately copied a copy and sent it to the Northeast as soon as possible, and sent it to Shenyang to report to the puppet Manchurian court.

"Sister, sister, I know, now I will say a thousand words and ten thousand sentences, and I can't explain my grievances."

Forced to be helpless, Cixi could only kneel in front of Ci'an, and said with tears in her eyes: "But sister, I can swear to the spiritual position of the emperor, and swear to the ancestors and ancestors of the Qing Dynasty, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, I have secretly contacted Wu Chaoyue and the traitor several times, but I really haven't done anything to be sorry for the Qing Dynasty!" If I have half a lie, let the heavenly thunder strike me now, and after death, I will turn into a terrible ghost, and I will fall into the eighteenth layer of hell forever, and I will never be reborn! ”

was also helpless, Ci'an could only hold Cixi with both hands, and said with tears in his eyes: "Sister, you don't need to explain, and you don't need to swear any poisonous oath, I can trust you." I know that this is Wu Chaoyue's shameless discord with the traitor, and he wants to make our sisters centrifuge and kill each other, and I won't fall for his evil. Our sisters will always be the dearest and best sisters. ”

Cixi was so moved that she cried loudly, and she was so excited that she forgot to take the opportunity to test how Ci'an would treat the edict left by Emperor Xianfeng, Ci'an has been wiping the corners of her eyes, but she also forgot to mention the edict left by Emperor Xianfeng. At the same time, it was inevitable that the knots in Ci An's heart could not be untied, and he whispered: "Did the Empress Dowager Xi secretly collude with Wu Chaoyue's traitors?" At the critical moment, will she betray us to the Wu thief? ”

In view of the large strength of the Wu army, and at the same time, the Wu army has advanced the front to the front line of the Daling River, which is not far from Shenyang, in order to win the strategic buffer space, do not give the Wu army the opportunity to directly end the puppet Manchurian court. The Russian envoy Rhemeni suggested to the devil six that Ci'an and Cixi take the wild boar skin X, who had been renamed Kant the Great, to the north first, and move to Qiqihar or Aihui (now Heihe City) to establish a companion capital, leaving some civil and military officials to guard Shenyang and resist the attack of the Wu army, so that even if the Wu army successfully conquered Shenyang, there was no way to eliminate the puppet Manchukuo in one fell swoop.

Of course, this suggestion of Remeni can disgust Wu Chaoyue and the soldiers of the Wu army, and the devil six was also very moved when he heard it, but after the devil six presented this suggestion to Ci'an and Cixi, Ci'an and Cixi immediately made their own small calculations, and disagreed on whether to adopt this suggestion, and then further widened the estrangement.

"I can't go further north, when I get to Heilongjiang, the life and death of the mourning family will be at the mercy of others, and I can't control it myself. Only by taking the emperor to stay in Shengjing can the mourning family decide their own fate and leave the hope of bargaining with the emperor and Wu Chaoyue traitors. ”

Cixi was so calculating in her heart, so she strongly opposed the relocation to the capital, under the pretext that the move would inevitably shake the hearts of the army and the people, so that the puppet Manchurian state had no hope of resisting the attack of the Wu army, and at the same time openly questioned that the real purpose of Remenyi's proposal was to kidnap Emperor Kant and take the opportunity to annex Northeast China and Mongolia, saying that he would not agree to leave Shenyang. - Not to mention, the real purpose of Rzemeni's proposal is to hijack and control the puppet Manchurian court at any time.

Ci'an also has his own little abacus, because Wu Chaoyue has already forcibly installed the crime of splitting China on Ci'an's body in the Northern Expedition, and once he stays in Shenyang and is surrounded by Wu's army, then Ci'an will definitely die and have no place to be buried, so for his own safety and interests, Ci'an strongly advocated accepting Remeni's proposal, and Cixi did not give in to each other, and the dispute was inextricable. In the end, when no agreement could be reached, Ci'an had to reluctantly accept Cixi's opinion and decided to take the matter to the court for discussion, first consulting the opinions of hundreds of officials, and then making a decision.

Cixi's proposal to bring this matter to the court meeting for discussion is of course not without purpose, as Cixi expected, after this issue was put on the Jinluan Palace, many civil and military officials of the puppet Manchu State really strongly opposed letting Kant the Great go north to Heilongjiang, and the reason was similar to Cixi's excuse for opposition, one was worried that this would shake the hearts of the army and the people, resulting in the puppet Manchu State having no hope of holding Shenyang City, and the second was that Tsarist Russia would take the opportunity to put the puppet Manchurian small court in a pot, and coerce the Son of Heaven to order the princes to completely annex Northeast China and Mongolia.

In addition, there are several puppet Manchurian officials with surviving conscience who put forward ironclad evidence, listing all kinds of crimes after the Tsarist Russian army entered the northeast under the banner of reinforcements, such as indiscriminate killing of innocents, rape of ** women, looting of people's property, and so on, clearly pointing out that once the puppet Manchurian court goes north to Heilongjiang, it will inevitably become a fish on the anvil of the Tsarist Russian army, and may be arbitrarily slaughtered by Tsarist Russia at any time, and strongly advise Ci'an and Devil Six to think about the safety of Emperor Kant's life and not risk fleeing to the frontier cities that have long been exposed to the knife of the Tsarist army.

Even General Shengjing, the most relied on commander of Ci'an and Devil Liu, resolutely objected, and said loudly: "The two queen mothers, you must not leave Shengjing, now the elite main forces of our Manchurian State have gathered in Shengjing, if you invite the Holy Driver to go north at this time, not only will there be no reliable army to protect the Emperor Luanjia, but the morale of the Shengjing soldiers will inevitably be hit hard, and it is impossible to achieve unity and protect Shengjing!" If this is the case, not only will Shengjing be in danger, but the imperial court will no longer have any hope! ”

The opposition was too loud, and Ci'an didn't dare to insist on going his own way, so he could only ask Chonghou: "Chong Aiqing, although your words are reasonable, but if the emperor stays in Shengjing, the war situation is not ideal, and Shengjing is facing the danger of being surrounded by Wu's rebel army, what will be done?" ”

"Then the minion is going to be speechless." Chonghou pleaded guilty first, and then said: "If the situation is really critical, it will be completely too late for us to abandon the city and go north, and when the time comes, it will be better to have a reliable army to protect the safety of the emperor and the empress dowager of the two palaces, and it is better than the holy car leaving the army and going north first." Just like Emperor Yuan Shun back then, there has always been a reliable army escort around him, even Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang has always had nothing to do with him, so he can only continue to be gentle and give courtesy. ”

Chonghou's proposition is indeed very insightful, as long as there is an army in hand, it is easy to say anything, without the army is a rootless duckweed, fish and meat to be slaughtered, so not only more civil and military officials stood up to support Chonghou's proposition, Ci'an, who was originally determined to slip away in advance, also began to waver a little, and did not directly refute Chonghou's advice. Cixi observed her words and took the opportunity to speak: "Sister, Chong Aiqing's words are indeed very reasonable, with a reliable army by our side, we can speak loudly to anyone, but if we leave the army, no one dares to guarantee the safety of the emperor and our sisters." In that case, why don't we look at the situation and wait until the war is clear, and then decide whether to escort the north. ”

After hesitating for a long time, Ci'an finally nodded very reluctantly, and adopted Chonghou's advice against his will, and when Chonghou kowtowed to thank him, Ci'an couldn't help but glance at Cixi quietly, and said in his heart: "It seems that it is unreliable, and we have to strengthen the surveillance of her. ”

After Ci'an quietly looked at Cixi, Cixi also secretly glanced at Ci'an, and said in her heart: "This matter is not over, this bitch will definitely be wary of me, I must quickly find the edict and destroy it, otherwise, the mourning family will not dare to close their eyes even if they sleep." ”

In this way, in the case of every hope of going north in advance to strive for greater strategic space, because of the mutual suspicion and conflict of interests within the puppet Manchu court, Ci'an and Guizi Liu and others had to temporarily give up their plans to continue to flee north, and the uneasy and kind-hearted Tsarist Russian minister Zhemeni beat his chest, but he had no choice but to scold the stupidity of the Manchu court, and miss the best opportunity to directly control the puppet Manchu court.

Only five days have passed, and as the weather in the northeast gradually warms, the bad news finally came from the western Liaoning corridor - under the personal leadership of Cao Yanzhong, a famous general of the Wu army, 20,000 Wu soldiers went out of Shanhaiguan and went straight to Shenyang through western Liaoning! At the same time, Jiang Zhongji, the general of the Wu army, who had already concentrated his army on the front line of Jinzhou, also divided his troops and horses into two routes, all the way to Guangning in the east, and all the way to Yizhou, taking the lead in firing the first shot of the Wu army's all-out northern expedition!

Wu Jun got off to a good start! Manqing opens the door black! Two days after Jiang Zhongji took the lead in sending troops, as the Wu army approached the city, the Qing army in Yizhou directly opened the city gate and surrendered to the Wu army without firing a single shot! There are three reasons for the surrender of the Qing army in Yizhou, the first is that the Wu army has done enough surrender work before, and the second is that the Qing army in Yizhou is afraid that after dying in battle, not only will they not be able to keep their land and property, but on the contrary, they will also affect their families and children and succumb to the Northern Expedition policy of the Wu army!

And the third reason is that the Manchu court made a mistake in employing people, and the Yizhou guard general Airen was a Mongolian Zhenghongqi person, who was not willing to be buried with the puppet Manchu court, and had long known that Wu Chaoyue had always treated the Mongolian officials well, and had a good friendship with the monk who had surrendered to the Wu army, so the envoy of the Wu army had just presented a letter of persuasion from the monk to the prince, and Airen made a smart and correct choice!
