"The division is on the road, rushing to Yandu, not greedy for attacking the city and plundering the land, and wasting time!"

Almost half a year ago, after learning of the Northern Expedition of the Cantonese bandits and getting these secret reports in the thief camp, Xianfeng, as the emperor, only felt like a thunderbolt from the sky: Isn't this like a sharp knife, straight into Kyoto?

Since then, Yi Su has not closed his eyes for several days and nights, and has discussed with the ministers of military aircraft day and night to carefully deploy troops and generals in an attempt to intercept the Cantonese bandits.

However, the result was beyond his expectations, a few months ago the Northern Expeditionary Army easily passed through Linhuai Pass, went down to Fengyang, attacked Huaiyuan, occupied Mengcheng, entered Henan Mansion, Keguide, and approached Kyoto. The Northern Expeditionary Army wanted to cross the Yellow River from Liujiakou and go straight to Beijing from Shandong. The Qing army was ordered, and the army closed the river, burned the ferry, and strictly guarded it. The Northern Expeditionary Army turned to the west, and along the way, it was like entering a no-man's land.

Then the Guangdong bandits crossed the Yellow River and entered Shanxi, committing Zhili, that is, the martial law of the Beijing Division, and when the people of the Beijing Division were panicked all day long, the inner servants rushed to report the victory - the thieves went straight to Tianjin.

After getting the news, as the emperor, Yi Su breathed a sigh of relief, and he thought in his heart: After all, the eyes of the rat are inch! If they take the Jingshi directly, the consequences will be unimaginable. Jingshi is really in a desperate situation!

Although the situation is not calm, he knows that the Qing Kingdom is saved!

Although bad news came one after another. What Taiping army lured the enemy deep in Duliu Town, defeated the Shengbao army and Delek Seleng army, the deputy commander Tong Jian, Tianjin Zhixian Xie Zicheng was beheaded, the Taiping army captured more than 1,000 Shenwei cannons, and the ordnance was piled up like a hill.

But for Xianfeng, he is no longer as panicked as before, in his opinion, as long as the thief is not as good as that Li Zicheng, straight to the capital, he can not be like that Chongzhen, become the king of the Qing Dynasty, although he has issued several orders to reprimand the monk Lin Geqin, Shengbao and other civil and military officials, but he knows in his heart that the Qing Kingdom has finally passed this pass.

It was at that time that he successively ordered Shanxi, Shandong, Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning, and Shaanxi to transfer troops to King Qin.

Just when Yi Su thought that the situation was stable, but who would have thought that there was bad news from the south - the Cantonese bandits sent reinforcements to the Northern Expedition! The Cantonese bandits of the Northern Expedition on this road moved faster, even faster than the two thieves of Lin and Li, and they entered the lake in Xiangyang, Kehenan, Pingshaanzhou, and Shanxi, just like the two thieves of Lin and Li, all the way, as if entering the realm of no one.

As for Shengbao, who was in a hurry to stop the enemy in Jinghai, he was completely exhausted, and just when Yi Su was hesitating how to deal with Shengbao, the bad news came over there - the Yue bandits went out of Shanxi, went straight to the Beijing Division, and the troops came to Baoding City at the gateway to Kyoto!

Can Yi Su not be angry?

But then the presentation fold handed by Shengbao made Xianfeng breathe a sigh of relief, and the thief rebelled from Jinzhou to the east, straight to Tianjin, intending to go to Jinghai to meet Lin and Li and the two thieves. And in the fold, it was said that the Cantonese bandits deliberately sent suspicious soldiers from Jinzhou to the north in order to divide the troops in the imperial court. After meeting with Jinghai Lin Li, he will plot against the capital.

Shengbao's excerpt seems to be very reasonable, the thief rebels all the way to the army is no more than forty or fifty thousand people, deducted with a new attachment, and there are no more than 15,000 people who can fight, but if the two divisions are combined, it is an army of nearly 100,000 people, when the time comes, who can stop this thief?

It is precisely because of this that a group of military planes from the Military Aircraft Department discussed and discussed, but agreed with the analysis of Shengbao's twists and turns, and Yi Su naturally breathed a sigh of relief, and did not feel different about the "suspicious soldiers" on that road, and in the following days, many places in the north and south of Baoding were in an emergency, and the official army was even more collapsed. In just five days, the Cantonese bandits arrived at Zhang Dengji in two cities in a row, and the soldiers came to Baoding City!

Just when the imperial court was nervous, there was a report that the Cantonese bandits went around the city and went straight north, which confirmed that this was just a suspicious army, if not, how could it go around the city.

But after the Cantonese bandits captured Zhuozhou City, all the way to Fangshan, Xianfeng listened to the report, only felt dizzy, and sat on the circle chair, without a trace of blood on his thin face.

"This, how can this be good!"

At this moment, the palace maid brought a cup of hot tea, and Yi Su didn't even look at it, and angrily waved a kick and kicked the palace maid to the ground. I only heard a scream, followed by a "pop", and the lotus-patterned blue and white porcelain cup worth several taels said that he had smashed it.

Realizing that the thief had come to the city, Yi Su thought that he had actually fallen into the scheme, and his heart was even more angry, and he shouted at the palace maid who kowtowed and apologized.

"Kill! Drag it out and kill! ”

The chamberlain listened to the will and hurriedly dragged the palace maid out, and the frightened palace maid was bleeding from her mouth and did not resist at all.

Yi Xu, who ordered the killing of a palace maid, shouted even louder:

Kill all those who escaped!

The chief eunuch Huang Chengen knew that the matter was urgent, and this was not the time to kill, so he hurriedly reminded softly.

"Your Majesty, now that the hearts of the people in the capital are fluctuating, it is the time to appease the people's hearts, and besides, I didn't say that this was just a suspicious soldier all the way, but let's listen to what the military planes say first!"

Being moved like this by Huang Chengen, Yi Su remembered that this was a suspicious soldier all the way, so he sat down, drank Qingxin tea, and took a breath. He closed his eyes and recuperated for a while, and the 100,000 urgent military reports were delivered. Looking at the waiter who was kneeling on the ground, he saw that his whole body trembled, his face turned pale, and he knew that it was bad news again.

"Say, what......'s the news?"

The chamberlain looked at the military newspaper nervously, and whispered nervously:

"The thieves marched against the speed of the army, and after crossing Fangshan, they went down to the Fengtai camp, which was only dozens of miles away from the capital, and it was extremely critical!"

"Ahh

With a "snap", Yi Su dropped the dragon pattern Fushou teacup that he had just picked up in his hand to the ground and shattered it.

"Who is the commander of the Fengtai battalion, kill it!"

With a sudden, Yisu stood up, and just wanted to give an order, he swallowed it back.

At this time, he was like a trapped beast in a cage, walking back and forth, and finally burst out: Where are the thousands of forbidden troops? What about tens of thousands of officers and soldiers? What about the generals and marshals who eat Yulu? How are they all a bunch of grass chicken waste!

There are no generals in the imperial court, and there is no one in the Eight Banners!

Could it be that he is like that Chongzhen, who wants to be the king of the fallen country of the Great Qing Dynasty?

And then the military situation was urgent, and the military reports for help were constantly flying to the imperial case.

Looking at the 100,000 urgent military situation, Yi Su only felt exhausted for a while, and as he walked out, he whispered weakly:

"Nourish the Heart Palace, summon the ministers to discuss!"

When the bell of the previous dynasty rang, the capital at this time was already in chaos, and rumors were spreading everywhere, especially in the inner city, where the owner who usually carried the bird cage would be nervously looking around for news.

"Well, have you heard? The long hair has hit Fangshan! ”

In the teahouse in the inner city, although as usual, many flag masters who are wearing waist cards but are not worth more today want a pot of tea, and talk about the news they have found there.

"What Fangshan, I heard that it has hit Fengtai!"

"I also hit Fengtai! You're the old calendar of this year! ”

If he was unhappy with his words, someone immediately interjected.

"The Fengtai camp said that it was all beaten down by Long Hair!"

"Huh? The Fengtai camp has been defeated? ”

"No, my wife's third aunt's second aunt's fourth cousin and nephew were on an errand at the Fengtai camp, but they finally picked up a life!"

"Ouch, my mother, this Fengtai camp has fallen, it's not far from us......"

Looking at those "masters" who are drinking tea and chatting about world affairs, Li Ziming has finally gained another round of knowledge, could it be that the last time the Cantonese bandits came to the city, they were also like this? Drinking tea and chatting like this? As for the murder of the thieves, it seems that they have nothing to do with it.

This is the so-called Eight Banners that the imperial court has raised for hundreds of years?

It's all to raise a herd of pigs!

He muttered to himself in his heart, but his face was silent, coiling his calculations, as if these things had nothing to do with him, in fact, for the Han people who did business in the inner city, they would only greet "this master" and "that master" warmly, and serve these "masters" well, as for the rest, it was just a pair of ears, who knew that if that sentence was wrong, if there was a disaster for no reason, it would be lighter to the infantry yamen to take off a layer of skin, and it would be heavy, That might end up ruined.

When he took down the teahouse, the shopkeeper of the teahouse told him not to talk nonsense, which was the experience of many businessmen who had been doing business in the inner city for more than 100 years.

It should have been reversed decades ago!

Looking at such a group of banner men who were raised with the blood and sweat of the Han people like pigs, Li Ziming snorted secretly, but what he heard with those ears still surprised him.

This Cantonese bandit's action is too fast!

Originally, he thought that this group of Cantonese bandits would first join up with another group of Cantonese bandits, and then plot against the Beijing Division, but he never thought that it would actually attack the Beijing Division.

"Didn't you say that this is a suspicious soldier?"

Thinking of the words of those "masters" earlier, he secretly wondered, if you say what is the biggest advantage of opening a teahouse here, I am afraid that all kinds of news will continue to come out through the mouths of these "masters", and there is no need to deliberately collect them at all.

"Suspicious? Hey ......"

Someone over there obviously asked the same question as Li Ziming, which immediately attracted the sneer of others.

"The suspicious soldier just used the words of the master in the palace to coax him, otherwise the master would be annoyed, I don't know how many people would have to cut off their heads, you kid really took it seriously, now it's good, now the Yue bandits are calling, look at this master, how to clean up the situation!"
