At the beginning of the third year of Xianfeng, it stands to reason that this is out of the first month, into February, the warm wind in the south should be the time to blow, but who would have thought that the wind blowing from the north of the desert is rushing and whistling, carrying the dust of the north of the desert, wrapped in the rolling cold current, as if it were in winter, it directly poured into the city of Beijing, although there is no snow, but the dust blown from the north of the desert is more crazy than the snow, swallowing the entire city of Beijing. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Everywhere is obscured by sand and dust. So much so that in broad daylight, they couldn't see their fingers.

And with the sand and dust is the cold, which is different from the dry and cold of previous years, and it is even colder to the bones, not only the weather is dry and cold, but the hearts of the people are colder than this day. From the imperial city to the streets and alleys, they were stunned by the alarm of successive defeats in the southern war. After the bandits "defeated" Wuchang on the second day of the first lunar month, hundreds of thousands of Cantonese bandits went down the river to capture Jiujiang and Ke'anqing. At the beginning of February, the Cantonese bandits seized Jiangning, changed Jiangning to "Tianjing", and after Zhu Yuanzhang set the capital in Jiangnan like that year, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty were all secretly cold, and for Xianfeng, who was the emperor, the reality of the Cantonese bandits' capital Jiangning, made him panic all day, so that he knelt in front of the imperial tablet for three consecutive days to ask for sin, and he knew better than anyone that the Cantonese bandits set the capital of Jiangnan on the Qing Dynasty.

The emperor is still frightened, not to mention others, while the emperor is frightened and angry, those slave ministers naturally have to share their worries for the emperor, those civil and military ministers who were still in prison and are still in prison for trial, or they were convicted of capital crimes, or they were sent to Ningguta.

And just when Xianfeng promised in the court that "the one who restores Jiangning is the king" to encourage and supervise the military generals in front, a thunderous news came again - Wuchang fell again!

Although everyone knows that after the current Wuchang was looted by the Cantonese bandits, all that was left was an empty city with no food, no jobs or even no people, but after all, it was also the capital of a province, and the Cantonese bandits only fought three provincial capitals along the way, one was Wuchang, the second was Anqing, and the third was Jiangning.

Many people even quietly pondered to themselves - is the qi of this Great Qing Kingdom coming to an end? Of course, there are some things that can only be thought about, but not said, but if these things play an introduction in people's hearts, then the signs will expand day by day.

And for Yi Su, who is the emperor of the Qing Dynasty, this period was frightened by the Lian Lian Lian Song of the loss of the city and land in the south, for Yi Su, who is only 22 years old this year, this day is more and more sad day by day, originally he also wanted to work hard to regain the glory of the Qing Dynasty yesterday, but who would have thought that this enthronement for a few months would worship God and raise troops, tossing for three years, not only has not been pacified, but more and more climate, and now it is a direct threat to his throne and the world of the banner people. His heart hangs in suspense, he sleeps and eats restlessly, and he is in the temple of nourishing his heart, and his ears are always listening to the window, if he hears the sound of hurried footsteps.

I thought it was the southern twist and turn, he was waiting for it, but he didn't want it to come, hoping that the twist could bring good news, but who would have thought that the news was worse than the other, and the news of the bandits in Jiangning last time had not come to adapt in a hurry, and Wuchang here fell into the hands of thieves again.

Although it was just a twist and turn, and even the fall of Wuchang, as an empty city, was expected, but the fact that the world was against him gave him a great impact. His eyes were dark, as if the sun was setting in the west, and the twilight was coming north, enveloping the entire Heart Cultivation Hall in the darkness. Is it true that the whole world is against it, does it mean that the qi of the Qing Dynasty has been exhausted?

His nerves trembled, and he sat silently for a long time, and the empty Yixu in his mind thought of the last years of the previous dynasty, isn't this the situation, Zhang Xianzhong was not peaceful, and Li Zicheng came out again, and then ...... Then the world will change hands, is this the will of God?

"This hateful Zhang Liangji should be killed!"

Thinking that Zhang Liangji, as the governor of Huguang, fled when the thieves attacked the city, and then was captured by the thieves, Yi Su couldn't help but scold.

"If all the ministers in the world are like this, and they don't know how to repay the court with death, who will be willing to defend the city desperately among those governors and ministers in the future?"

In fact, Yi Su didn't know that now he was just talking, after all, Zhang Liangji's life and death are still unknown, and the top priority now is not to hold him accountable, but how to deal with the situation of falling into the hands of thieves again in the hinterland of Huguang.

So Yi Su immediately summoned the Minister of Military Aircraft in the Palace of Nourishing the Heart, the monarch and the minister sighed relatively, and hurriedly made several decisions, Xu Guangjin dismissed his post and asked Wu Wenrong to be the governor of Huguang, and at the same time ordered the governors of Hunan, Jiangxi, Henan, and Sichuan provinces to strengthen their vigilance to prevent Hubei from corrosively surrounding the bandits.

After making these decisions in front of him, Yi Su pondered silently for a while, and suddenly asked:

"What did Cézanne say in prison?"

The chief military minister, Qi Yaozao, kowtowed:

"I heard that he often sighed in prison and said, 'If the sword of Suppilon had been used to enforce military discipline, it would not have fallen to the point where it is today.'"

"This is not necessarily the case, the combined number of provincial troops, millions of food and salary, can not pacify the bandits that have emerged in the poor mountain villages, can it be possible to completely change the situation by killing a few retreating commanders with the sword of Suppression? In the past two days, I have read the confession of Saishan'a in the three sessions, and I have thought about it again and again, but I can't get the point. Although he said a lot of things, he never answered the fundamental reason why the officers and men were defeated again and again. If this problem is not understood, the official army will be defeated again, and we can have a few big cities like Jiangning and Wuchang that can withstand loss! ”

"yes, I can't afford to lose it."

Qi Yaozao hurriedly kowtowed again and said.

The rest of the ministers of military aircraft also kowtowed, and responded in unison like worms.

"yes, yes, can't be lost anymore!"

After a deep groan, Yi Xu looked at the ministers of military aircraft kneeling on the ground and shouted:

"Peng Yunzhang!"

"The minister is here!"

As soon as he heard the emperor shouting about himself, Peng Yunzhang suddenly became frightened, at this time, he was summoned by the emperor and must have been sent to the south to die. This will lead Qi Shan to Jiangsu, and now Wuchang is ...... Could it be that the emperor wants to send himself to Wuchang? Isn't this just sending people to death, just so many elites were taken away by Qi Shan, go to Wuchang, what to take to Wuchang?

But Yun Zhang guessed wrong, and just when he was thinking about how to escape from this catastrophe, he only heard the emperor say in a heavy tone:

"When you go to the prison of the Criminal Department to interrogate Saishan, I will ask him what the root cause of the defeat of the official army is, how can we reverse the crisis and suppress the thief's atmosphere, and if he is reasonable, I will grant mercy and forgiveness."

"Oh, I'll go immediately!"

As soon as he heard that it was this errand, Peng Yunzhang hurriedly kowtowed and thanked him for his joy, as long as he didn't go to the south, he didn't say that he was going to the prison to interrogate Saishan, or he was going to accompany him in the prison for a few days, so why not?

And the ministers of military aircraft on the side also felt from the emperor's words that the emperor probably intended to pardon Sai Xiang's capital crime, and the reason why Peng Junji was sent to ask questions was just a form of covering people's ears. Who knew that they guessed wrong, this would be for Yi Su, he didn't think about pardoning Sai Shang, what he wanted to find was just a panacea to save the Qing Dynasty from peril, Sai Shang Ah supervised the division for a year, and knew the shortcomings in the army, if you think about the questions raised by the emperor, you will definitely be able to summarize a way to make the official army reborn. When he went to Cezanne, it might be a matter of military secrets, and the fewer people who knew about it, the better, so Yi Su deliberately commanded again:

"Peng Yunzhang, you go to the Criminal Department, interrogate Saishana alone, and avoid all left and right, Saishan's words will be recorded by Er personally, don't fake others, you can ask for it alone when you reply to the decree."

"Oh, I understand."

Peng Yunzhang kowtowed again.

Knowing that this matter was very important, after he withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Palace, he immediately drove to the Yamen of the Criminal Department, and the official of the Ministry arranged a secret room, and then summoned Sai Shang Ah alone, and when he saw Sai Shang A, Peng Yunzhang naturally emphasized the emperor's oral statement again, telling him that if he did a good errand, maybe the emperor would pardon him.
