"The Shunde brothers are doing things, and this king is still relieved. Our holy army must step up its speed to occupy all the batteries along the Pearl River. Feng Yunshan reminded.

He groaned slightly, and then continued: "In addition, send someone to inform the Shunde brothers to find a way to control the wooden sailing gunboat." No, it is estimated that Chen Xianliang and Lin Huanlong will also rush to ask for it, so you ask He Lu to send someone to contact Chen Kai and buy the gunboat in He Lu's name, it doesn't matter if the price is high. ”

Feng Yunshan felt that he was too short of sailors and warships. I don't know how the sailor on Peng Yulin's side is practicing?

However, the sailors who trained in the upper reaches of the small Xiangjiang River are estimated to be practicing water sex in a small way, and if they really go to the sea, they will not be useful at all. Modern naval battles are all about fighting guns and ships, and they are no longer the deck battles of the past.

We have to hurry up to trade with foreigners and purchase industrial equipment as soon as possible. Ever since he saw that steam engine, Feng Yunshan's heart has lifted. If you don't catch up, you will only be humiliated as you have been in history.

He also asked Wu Chongyao to come and ask when Nanyang Company would open. Wu Chongyao replied that as long as a group of foreigners were invited, they could open their businesses.

Then, he volunteered to personally send invitations to those familiar foreigners on Hong Kong Island and Macau, inviting them to come to Guangzhou to participate in the opening of the Nanyang Company.

Feng Yunshan was immediately overjoyed! He told Wu Chongyao about the battle between Chen Kaiyi's army and the British army on Hong Kong Island, and asked Liu Shengbang, who had just recovered from his health, to follow him to Hong Kong Island. At the same time, Wu Chongyao, as the representative of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, was authorized to go to Hong Kong Island to mediate the war between the rebels and the British on the one hand, and find out the British position on the Taiping Holy Kingdom on the other hand.

………

Imperial Palace, inside the Palace of Nourishing the Heart.

Emperor Xianfeng grabbed the teacup in his hand, slammed it, and smashed it to the ground, however, the anger in his heart not only did not be released, but accumulated even more.

"I decreed that the fleeing Baigui would be raided from home, and the family would be sent to Ili! Check whether Xu Xiangguang, Cui Datong and the other criminal officials who surrendered to thieves have relatives and clansmen who are officials in the court, and all of them will be dismissed and investigated! Xianfeng said angrily.

It has been almost two years since he ascended the throne, and he is full of bad ambitions, ready to go through the rule of power, and want to re-establish the declining Qing Dynasty. For this reason, less than a year after ascending the throne, he deposed the mediocre and greedy Minister of Military Aircraft, Mu Zhang'a. He got up early and rested late every day, and handled government affairs diligently, even the Lan nobles who had just entered the palace couldn't help but touch them much.

Unexpectedly, the rebellion of the long-haired thieves in Guangxi in the south has intensified, and now it has reached the point of being out of control.

Just now, an urgent letter of 800 miles sent a message that he could not accept: Seven days ago, the city of Guangzhou, which was garrisoned by the Liangguang Governor's Office and the Guangzhou General's Mansion, was attacked by long-haired thieves.

More than two months ago, Changsha, the city of Nathanan Province, was attacked by the long-haired thief army, and he was so angry that he threw a stack of folds on his desk to the ground. Fortunately, not long ago, under his strategy, tens of thousands of troops from neighboring provinces were mobilized to recover Changsha City.

A month and a half ago, after the city of Guilin in Guangxi was captured by the long-haired thieves, then most of Guangxi and half of the prefectures and counties in eastern Guangxi were captured by the long-haired thieves.

Because of the fall of Changsha City first, he felt that his psychological endurance had become much stronger, and he could barely accept the bad news.

After some discussion with the ministers, he decided that it was better to first eliminate the main force of the long-haired thief army with tens of thousands of people who had fled north, capture the king of heaven named Hong Xiuquan, and execute him to death in order to relieve the hatred in his heart. Then, mobilize troops to recover the land of Liangguang like Changsha City.

Just a few days ago, he received a 600-mile urgent report from General Mu Ten and Acting Governor Bai Gui of Guangzhou, saying that more than 100,000 rebellious people had rebelled outside the city of Guangzhou, and that it was urgent to send troops and horses to rescue them.

But now that it has come to the critical period of encircling and suppressing the main force of the long-haired thief soldiers, the troops of the southern provinces have been mobilized in the northern Hunan area, how can there be troops to send? Moreover, it is even more difficult to make up for the already scarce military salary. Xianfeng also pinned his hopes on Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Guangzhou to pay more taxes and silver this year to alleviate the shortage of silver.

Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng only sent the 5,000 troops from Guangdong to rescue Changsha City back to Guangzhou, and sent 3,000 troops from FJ to support Guangzhou City.

Unexpectedly, before the order to send troops reached the barracks, the news of the fall of Guangzhou City came! The Guangzhou general Mutern was killed in battle, and the acting governor Bai Gui fled to Hong Kong Island with the foreigners, not to mention the acting governor Ye Mingchen, who disappeared for two or three months.

The place where the two Guangzhi are located, the city of Guangzhou, which is heavily defended, will fall!? What are the 5,000 Eight Banner soldiers and 20,000 Green Battalion soldiers in the city doing, they are all rice buckets! So many silver taels are allocated every year to repair the city wall, is this how it was captured by the long-haired thieves in one fell swoop?

Thinking of the annihilation of the 5,000 Eight Banners that followed the fall of Guangzhou, Xianfeng's heart was like a knife.

Thinking that the Thirteen Lines that followed the fall of Guangzhou did not pay taxes to the Qing Dynasty, Xianfeng was even more heartbroken.

Thinking that he had become the first emperor to lose his city and land due to the rebellion of the mob and trap two provinces in a row, Xianfeng was even more angry!

But that's already the case, no matter what, stay calm! Sedation! Xianfeng told himself secretly.

"Your Majesty, the servants have brought Qi Liaozao, the Minister of Military Aircraft, the former Minister of the Imperial Court and the Acting Luan Yi Guard Monk Greenqin, the Minister of the Interior Wen Qing, and the Cabinet Scholar Su Shun, all waiting outside the palace." Shen Lanyu, the eunuch in charge of the imperial front, reported.

"Hurry up!"

"Wow!" Shen Lanyu hurriedly took a few steps back, and went out of the hall to lead four Xianfeng's cronies and ministers to meet him.

"Slaves see the emperor!" The four of them knelt down and saluted.

"Let's all be flat." Xianfeng was obviously anxious to discuss how to deal with the fall of Canton. Without waiting for the three of them to get up, they spoke: "I think you all know what I am doing with you. ”

"Look at your great ideas! A few days ago, didn't you say that you would first exterminate the main force of Cantonese thieves who fled Changsha, and the city over there in Guangzhou was tall and had sharp firearms, so it would be fine. Now that the main force of the Cantonese thieves has not been wiped out, not to mention, even the two Cantonese places have been captured by the Cantonese thieves, and now even the city of Guangzhou has fallen into the hands of the thieves. Xianfeng's anger began to rise to his chest again.

"It's all the fault of the minions, and the minions deserve death!" Su Shun, a cabinet scholar who had just gotten up, hurriedly knelt on the ground again and replied: "The emperor doesn't have to be anxious, be careful if you hurt the dragon body." ”

The slave thought, these Cantonese thieves are all a bunch of mud legs, a bunch of blind streams wandering around, burning and looting everywhere, and the local gentry and rich families must be hated. It is better to order the local gentry to vigorously form a regimental training, recruit and train the guards on their own, and then the imperial court will unite them, and they will definitely be able to exterminate the Cantonese thieves. ”

Xianfeng frowned, and ordered the local group to practice, this is an old saying, and he also knows that it is a way, but how can it be effective immediately?

"Never! Your Majesty, Lord Su's discussion has led to a large-scale army in various parts of the Qing Dynasty, which will inevitably affect the people! Moreover, if the tail of the group training is too big to fall, it is even more critical to the imperial court, and using this method to destroy the thief is tantamount to drinking a donkey to quench your thirst. Qi Liaozao, Minister of Military Aircraft, said.

After Xianfeng ascended the throne, he was personally appointed as a scholar of Tirenge University and the crown prince, and he was also the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, and he was also in charge of the affairs of the three libraries of the Ministry of Households, with a high position and power, and won the trust of Xianfeng.

Su Shun on the side saw that he was against him, and his face was ruthless.
