When Feng Yunshan killed the Qing Demon in the city of Beijing, the largest Qing Demon Chief in his mouth, the Qing Emperor Xianfeng, was also killing the Han people. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

In the early morning of the sixth day of October, Xianfeng was attacked by thieves at the tea dock post station in the southwest of Huairou fifteen miles, lost troops in the middle of the night, fled in panic, and was almost captured by the thieves several times, the last time, he was intercepted by the thieves, and there were only a total of only a few hundred pro-army guards and forward battalion guards left, and Prince Yi, who had always been weak, took the initiative to lead three hundred cavalry to rush to the thieves, delaying the thieves, and was rescued by the former guard Zhu Leheng, escorting him and the concubine and the little brother to escape.

At dawn, he finally rushed to the outside of Miyun City, and Fuhai, the deputy capital of Miyun, led 3,000 troops to meet Xianfeng and others. Seeing Xianfeng and his entourage so embarrassed, he was shocked, and Fuhai hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty.

Xianfeng didn't enter Mimiyun City, and he didn't rest, he had become a frightened bird, and he just wanted to escape to Rehe as soon as possible. However, at this moment, his whole body was as if he was about to explode, and he was extremely weak, so he could only continue to flee north in a carriage.

Because the original Luan driver had been discarded in the escape, in desperation, Fuhai found a rich merchant's carriage from Miyun City, Xianfeng did not feel aggrieved at all, and rode through the Zhili Admiral's station in Gubeikou that day, but unfortunately there were already empty camps and no one guarded.

Only then did Xianfeng understand that the discipline of the Green Battalion was so lax that it was no wonder that the soldiers were defeated, but at this moment, he didn't have time to pursue anything, he just wanted to escape from the Great Wall Pass as soon as possible.

It wasn't until the next day, after the Gubeikou, that Xianfeng was relieved.

At noon on the ninth day of October, Xianfeng and his entourage finally arrived at the Rehe Palace in Chengde.

At this time, Xianfeng was completely relieved, but as soon as he arrived at the Rehe Palace, he began to feel dizzy and couldn't do anything.

Also, the dignified Qing Emperor, his body was already weak, and since he started to run away in the middle of the night, he hasn't closed his eyes much, and who can know the panic in his heart? Running wildly all the way, coupled with hearing that the queen, concubines and princes and ministers were all captured by thieves, he lost face, and in a hurry, he was carried off the horse, and he was already injured internally, coupled with his inner anxiety, he fled continuously, and the instinct to survive supported him to travel more than 300 miles in a row. When he arrived at Rehe, he finally couldn't support it anymore, and as soon as he arrived at the palace, he fell into a deep sleep.

In a daze, Xianfeng dreamed of a large number of thieves coming, he broke out in a cold sweat and screamed. The eunuch An Fu, the chief manager of the Shengping Department in the Rehe Palace, led the chief eunuchs Fu Changyou and Li Sande to serve in person, and when they heard the emperor's exclamation, they hurriedly stepped forward to help.

At this moment, Xianfeng's face was flushed, and as soon as his eyes opened, he saw three thieves rushing towards him, he wanted to scream loudly, but he couldn't scream, in a hurry, he pulled out a dagger hidden next to his waist, and stabbed one of the thieves with a hard thrust.

I saw the thief scream in horror, blood pouring from his chest, and he fell to the ground. Xianfeng's heart flashed with a burst of pleasure, and continued to swing the knife to stab another thief again, the two thieves fled, Xianfeng was light-headed, his feet slipped, and he fell to the ground, the dagger in his hand also cut his arm, a sharp pain stimulated, he came to his senses, and looked at it, the chief eunuch An Fu fell in a pool of blood, and the other two chief eunuchs were already shouting outside the room: "Someone, the emperor is injured, quickly pass the imperial doctor!" ”

Only then did Xianfeng realize that he had killed the wrong person in his sleep and regarded the three eunuchs as thieves. Seeing the imperial guard Zhu Leheng and more than a dozen guards who rushed in, Xianfeng made a mistake, pointed at the other two leaders and eunuchs, and said, "Zhu Leheng, drag these two down and kill them!" ”

The two cried and begged for mercy, Xianfeng ignored it, and after the imperial doctor came to bandage his wounds, he took another pulse, his face changed greatly, and he knelt down and bowed: "Long live, your body is extremely weak, you should not be angry, you must recuperate." ”

Xianfeng said angrily: "My country is almost gone, how can I recuperate?" Quarry, get out of here! ”

Not long after driving away the imperial doctor, Xianfeng began to have a fever, covering his whole body with the quilt, still feeling cold. A few more eunuchs were sent to summon the imperial doctor, and Xianfeng had something on his mind and asked Zhu Leheng: "How is the little brother?" Who escaped? ”

Xianfeng was already sober, he knew that the queen and a concubine were captured by thieves, but fortunately, his son was rescued, which was his hope. He hoped that more people would escape.

"The emperor, among the important ministers, only the Minister of the Guard, Prince Zheng Duanhua, the Eyu Jingshou, the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Military Aircraft Ruilin, the Minister of Military Aircraft Wenqing, Peng Yunzhang, Du Han, the Imperial Guards and the Military Aircraft Walking Sushun, the Ministry of Household Shangshu, the co-organizer of the university Zhou Zupei, the Ministry of Officials Weng Xincun and others all escaped!" Zhu Leheng said: "The little elder brother was carried by the slave himself, and he was brought back to the palace and handed over to a woman who was found to feed, but Shen Lanyu, the eunuch in charge of the palace, accompanied Yi Guifei and the two to escape, and they have not been found yet!" ”

Xianfeng was shocked, even Shen Lanyu and Xingzhen couldn't escape? My heart was even more sad, and as soon as my chest hurt, I coughed violently.

Let Zhu Leheng find Prince Zheng Duanhua and the imperial guard Su Shun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites and the Minister of Military Aircraft, Ruilin, the Minister of Military Aircraft, Wen Qing, and the Forehead Jingshou, Xianfeng's face was full of tears, and he wept and said: "Zhong Aiqing, it is all my fault that the Qing Dynasty has fallen to this step of the field now. It's just now, how to change, Aiqing has a good plan? ”

"Long live, it's all the sins of the minions and others, let the Qing Dynasty fall to this, let the long live be humiliated and humiliated, and the minions are waiting for the death penalty!" Prince Zheng Duanhua took the lead, and the five of them cried loudly.

As soon as the five of them saw that Xianfeng only summoned himself, the Manqi people, they knew that the emperor was already a frightened bird, and he didn't trust Hanchen at all, and the Qing Dynasty suffered such a fiasco, so they felt the same heart in their hearts, so they cried even harder.

The six monarchs and ministers wept for a long time, and Duanhua tried to say: "Long live, now that the Qing Dynasty has been defeated like a mountain, the thieves are besieging Beijing City, if it is allowed to break through, it will definitely increase its troops even more and capture the hinterland of the Central Plains, and the situation is dangerous." It is better for me to shrink my forces in the Qing Dynasty, retreat to the ancestral land of Liaodong outside the Guan, and defend the Shanhaiguan Pass, and there is still a glimmer of life. ”

Xianfeng was silent, he actually agreed with Duanhua's statement, but he gave over the great country created by the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty for more than 200 years to others, and he was unwilling, and he couldn't afford this infamy, so he refused to agree. What's more, he is still looking forward to returning to Beijing, especially the Old Summer Palace.

Ruilin cried: "Long live, I can't give up Kannai." If I retreat to the outside of the pass, I am afraid that it will become weaker and weaker, and in a few years, it will be attacked by thieves outside the pass, and at that time, it will be difficult to keep the ancestral land! According to the slaves, they are still waiting for the army of King Qin from all over the country in Rehe to rescue and relieve the siege of Beijing. As long as the city of Beijing is not breached, there is still hope for everything! ”

When Xianfeng heard this, his face moved slightly.

When Su Shun saw it, he already understood what Xianfeng was thinking. As soon as he said what Ruilin was waiting for the army of King Qin, he sneered, joke, where did the army of King Qin come from? In the entire Qing Dynasty, the most powerful Mongolian cavalry has been defeated by the thieves, and the Gyeonggi Janissaries, which have the largest number and best equipment, are concentrated in the city of Beijing and the suburbs of Beijing, but they are besieged by a small number of thieves, and they are still looking forward to the rescue of the local green battalion soldiers and the garrison Eight Banners, isn't it a joke?

Su Shun can see clearly, the guards in Beijing are under the leadership of the monk king, strictly guarded, and it is possible to hold it, if the army is turbulent, has no intention of defending the city, and the artillery of the thieves is too sharp, I am afraid that it will not be able to hold it. It depends on the monks and kings, whether they can delay until the end of the year and the cold winter season.

"Hooray, the minion agrees with Rui Shangshu's statement. You can't take the initiative to retreat outside the gate! This is the last helpless move of the Qing Dynasty, and although the situation is erosive, it is more than that! As long as the monk and the king are there, the city of Beijing will be there, as long as the city of Beijing is still there, it will drag on until the cold winter and the moon, the thieves and soldiers are all southerners, and they are not tolerant of the cold, and they will inevitably retreat at that time, and the siege of the capital can be solved by itself. Su Shun collected the tears on his face and respectfully suggested: "However, long live, the slave still suggested sending people to the provinces of the Central Plains, Shanfeng praised the officials from all over the country, first appeased the governors and governors of various places, and ordered them to recruit troops on a large scale, organize regimental training, and actively prepare for war." At the same time, he sent important ministers to negotiate peace with the Cantonese thieves, with the Yellow River as the boundary. Regardless of whether the thieves agree or not, they can delay for a year and a half, wait for the armed forces of various places to be established, and then fight a decisive battle with the thieves. ”

After Su Shun finished speaking, Jingshou nodded and said, "Long live, what Yuting said is very true." ”

When Duanhua and Wen Qing saw Xianfeng's face, they knew that the emperor was also inclined to this statement, and they also nodded in agreement.
