With the sound of gunfire, the battle of the independent regiment to seize the city of Tianjin entered a white-hot state, through the rope, the soldiers of the independent regiment continued to climb up to the top of the city, into the aisle, at the same time, the airship no longer dropped the combatants, but quickly climbed, into the state of attack, began to throw explosives.

Boom...

For a time, both sides of the street near the south gate of Tianjin City turned into a sea of fire, with the bombing of airship troops, and the bullets and grenades of the independent regiment in front of them, and the city defense battalion was completely blinded and unable to fight back.

Boom...

Da Da...

When the battle of the East Gate started, it meant that there was no suspense in this battle, and it would be inevitable for Yang Lin to take Tianjin City, it was only a matter of time.

......

Shuntianfu, also known as Jingshi, is subordinate to Zhili, however, although Shuntianfu Yin is an official worshipper Sanpin, he and the governor of Zhili are not subordinate relations, and the two are independent and jointly manage the area outside the capital.

What is very special is that due to the extreme importance of Shuntianfu, although Shuntianfu Yin is a third-grade official, he can be on an equal footing with the governor, and can be called a feudal official, and has always been a minister extremely trusted by the emperor.

Since the eighth year of Qianlong, the jurisdiction of Shuntianfu has been fixed, and it is in charge of 19 counties in five prefectures, Tong, Ji, Zhuo, Ba, Changping and Daxing, Wanping, Liangxiang, Fangshan, Dong'an, Gu'an, Yongqing, Baoding, Dacheng, Wen'an, Wuqing, and other 19 counties.

Two days later, in Changping Prefecture, Shuntian Prefecture, Huo Xiong was stationed here with two divisions, and the team under his command showed a fan-shaped situation, forming a state of eyeing the Beijing Division, and could attack at any time and take the Beijing Division.

In the city of Changping, a team of Kongtong soldiers are patrolling, the short hairstyle is so conspicuous, eye-catching, the submachine gun in the hand deters pedestrians, far away, at this moment, the city is full of scenery, many residents gather in front of the notice, look at the content above, and also meet next to the shaving stall, cut off the braids.

Garrison Yamen, the temporary headquarters of the Kongtong Army, Huo Xiong and a staff officer live here, far away from the courtyard, heavily guarded, ten steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, everyone has a gun in their hands, and at the highest point of the house, there is a machine gun on it.

In the hall, Huo Xiong stood in front of the map with a group of generals and staff officers, discussing things.

"Ladies and gentlemen, according to the information sent by the marshal and the commander of the army, the Baoding Mansion and the Tianjin Mansion have fallen into our hands, and the marshal and the commander of the Chao army will soon lead the troops outside the Beijing division, from the southeast and southwest directions."

"Do you think that at present, should we wait for the arrival of the marshal and the commander of the Chao army before we act and attack the Beijing Division, or shall we attack first and try the city defense of the Beijing Division?"

At this moment, without waiting for the others to answer, Ruan Yuan stood up and said first: "Commander, since the attack on Shuntianfu, although we have occupied many areas, but, after all, the time is not long, our army has an unstable foothold, if we wave our division to take it now and attack the Beijing Division, is it a little inappropriate, and I am in a hurry?" ”

"Unfounded? Staff Officer Ruan, how do you say that? Huo Xiong asked.

"Commander, it's like this, the Beijing division doesn't need other places, the Qing court has been operating there for more than a hundred years, all kinds of elite defense, there are 100,000 people in the Eight Banners alone, not counting the city defense battalion and the Praetorian Guard, if we really hit the city, the Tartar Emperor can also recruit more soldiers, such as the clothed slaves, house slaves, sons and nephews of the prince's mansion, in a short period of time, it is not a problem to mobilize 300,000 troops."

"And our army, all the way to fight, every time we capture a city, more or less will leave some troops, so far, our army is only 100,000 people, not to mention, Changping Prefecture has been a battleground for soldiers since ancient times, and there are three border cities, we only captured two of them, at this time, if the Eight Banners in the north arrive, our army will fall into the situation of being attacked by the enemy."

Hearing this, Huo Xiong frowned slightly, and said to himself: "Also, there are already 100,000 Mongolian cavalry who feel the Beijing division, and now in the capital, I am afraid there are more than 300,000 Qing soldiers." Moreover, only half of the 200,000 cavalry on the Mongolian side came, and if the remaining half were transferred north together with the Qing garrison in Mukden to attack Changping Prefecture, the back road of the Kongtong army would be cut off. ”

"Commander, that's exactly the case." Ruan Yuan echoed.

At this time, as soon as Huo Xiong finished speaking, he asked again: "By the way, Staff Officer Ruan, which three cities do you mean by the border pass?" ”

"Commander Qiyu, the three cities of the border pass refer to Aries City, Changyu City and the border city of the town, these ancient cities are built on the mountain, easy to defend and difficult to attack, as long as these three cities are completely controlled, our army will have no worries."

At this moment, as soon as Ruan Yuan finished speaking, he seemed to think of something, and added: "By the way, when Li Zicheng invaded the capital, he was going to Changping Prefecture. ”

"Don't say it, after listening to you, this Changping Prefecture is really a military important place, and it has to be taken very seriously." Huo Xiong nodded.

"Indeed, military commander, in normal times, during the period of complete rule of the Qing court, Changping Prefecture is not so important, but it is only a place where the imperial tombs of the Ming Dynasty gathered, and it is the burial place of some princes today. However, once a major war broke out, if the Qing army in the north returned to the Beijing Division, Changping Prefecture was their only place. ”

Huo Xiong gently stroked his chin, revealing a thoughtful look, at this time, a division commander stood up and said loudly: "Army commander, let's wait until the marshal and Chao army commander arrive, and then act, jointly attack the Beijing Division, at that time, the three-way army will form a combined encirclement trend, whether it is the total strength or weapons and equipment, we have an absolute advantage, and it is easy to take the Beijing Division." ”

Seeing that Huo Xiong didn't express it for a long time, Ruan Yuan's calm expression began to become a little anxious, and he said again: "Army commander, even if there are no threats, in a short period of time, there will be no reinforcements from the Qing court in the north, even if we really defeat the Beijing Division, it will be heavy casualties, and the thousand-year-old city of the Beijing Division will be turned into a scorched earth, and a lot of civilians will die, army commander, do you really want to see this situation?" ”

In an instant, Huo Xiong's heart shook violently, Ruan Yuan not only said what he wanted to do, preparing to use a destructive attack to take down Jingshi, but also reminded him that if he really attacked, it would be an extremely painful price!

At this moment, Ruan Yuan did not say any further words, because he deeply knew that it was useless to say more, and the matter could only be the same as that of the parties involved, otherwise, even if he had a lotus flower in his tongue and said it wildly, with Huo Xiong's stubborn character, the legendary marshal was out, and no one could change his decision.

For a while, the room was quiet, and quietly, all the generals were waiting for Huo Xiong's answer, their supreme leader here.

At the same time, the Beijing division not far away has been completely panicked, and has become extremely nervous, the four city gates are tightly closed, no one is allowed to enter or leave, no matter day or night, there will be a large number of soldiers on the city wall, red-coated cannons are placed on the horses, cannonballs are loaded, and there are gunners standing in front of each cannon, ready to attack at any time.

Groups of Qing soldiers were patrolling, wandering around, and some important streets were blocked, especially the places where some princes and nobles lived, and they were heavily guarded, not to mention the surroundings of the residences of those important generals.

Obviously, the Qing court had completely mastered some of Yang Lin's siege measures, first assassinating some important officials and generals to create chaos, and then arranging for the rear hand to be near the city gate to meet the siege of the army.

The Imperial Palace Forbidden Courtyard is even more so, it is even stricter, and no suspicious person is allowed to approach within 100 meters of the Imperial City, otherwise, the officers and soldiers of the firearms battalion on the city wall and at the city gate will not have any politeness, and they will shoot them directly, without any reason.

At this moment, not only the powerful people in the city were uneasy, but even the palace maids and eunuchs in the Forbidden City were also worried, panicked and unable to live all day.

Yangxin Palace, no matter at any time, Qianlong will have a cup of ginseng tea every day, thunder does not move, drinking ginseng tea, and below are standing Emperor Jiaqing, He Shen, Wang Jie and Zhu Jue. However, the four people had different reactions and different expressions.

Emperor Jiaqing, his face was pale, and his eyebrows exuded a strong sense of worry, which was very urgent, but he didn't dare to express it, and stood there honestly.

In the room, except for Qianlong, He Shen was the most calm, as if the situation was not so anxious, with a bamboo in his chest and an old god, standing with his hands in his hands, looking at his nose and nose and mouth, very indifferent.

Wang Jie and Zhu Jue's performance is similar, they are both very eager, their brows are furrowed and they are almost able to kill flies, they want to speak and stop, every time they want to say something, they will be stopped by Emperor Jiaqing with his eyes.

"Ah~" After drinking the ginseng tea, Emperor Qianlong called out comfortably, he enjoyed it very much, put the teacup on the coffee table, and then gathered his mind and said in a deep voice: "How do you assist the emperor as courtiers?" Now, when the Qing Dynasty is actually like this, how can there be face standing here? ”

No one dared to refute it, even if Emperor Jiaqing knew that his father was actually talking about himself.

However, Emperor Jiaqing also has a bitter can't say, since he ascended the throne for three years, the country's big things are small, and he has never dealt with it alone, just a puppet, not only that, but the military power is in the hands of He Shen, and his prestige in the military aircraft is not as good as that of He Shen.

At this moment, Emperor Jiaqing really wanted to shout, I was really wronged, the thief hit the Yellow River, and I, the emperor, only knew, but in advance, I didn't know at all, and I didn't hear any news.

Thousands of thoughts, fleeting, these thoughts just flashed in Emperor Jiaqing's mind, and he didn't have time to think about it, but at this time, He Shen's voice sounded unexpectedly.

"The Emperor Taishang is angry, and the situation has evolved into the current situation, which is all the negligence and fault of the courtiers, but now is not the time to hold accountable, but to brainstorm and think about it, how to repel the army of those anti-thieves and tide over the difficulties temporarily?"

seemed to enjoy He Shen's humble performance and was satisfied with such a reply, but Qianlong said: "Okay, since the emperor has been registered for three years, I shouldn't interfere too much, leave this matter to the emperor, no matter what kind of decision it is, you don't need to ask me for instructions anymore, you can watch and do it." ”

Obviously, Qianlong's words were amazing, which surprised everyone, but he didn't expect that the dignified Qianlong Emperor would push 469 and completely delegate power at this time.

Whether it is He Shen or Emperor Jiaqing's faction, they can't be happy, He Shen's face suddenly changed, it was very ugly, Emperor Jiaqing only felt secretly bitter, and there was no master of the six gods for a while. didn't know what to do, Wang Jie and Zhu Jue were also shaking their heads secretly.

At this time, Qianlong had already closed his eyes, and said in a casual voice: "Okay, after talking so much, I'm too tired, you go down first." ”

What else can everyone say, under the leadership of Emperor Jiaqing, several people withdrew from the Heart Cultivation Hall and went to Yuxiu Palace.

Yuxiu Palace, deathly silent, Emperor Jiaqing sat above with a gloomy face, and He Shen once again regained the appearance of the old god, without saying a word, lowering his eyebrows.

Maybe he endured it too long, and he couldn't bear it anymore, at this time, Wang Jie said eagerly: "Your Majesty, you really can't delay now, and you can't afford to delay, you must immediately change your strategy, the previous way to deal with the thief." ”

"Oh, Lord Wang, please tell me quickly, how to change it?" Emperor Jiaqing has long been the master of the six gods, and he has no idea, and when he heard Wang Jie's words, he suddenly felt hope and asked eagerly.

"Your Majesty, since you said it, Weichen will say it directly, and no longer beat around the bush."

"Lord Wang, say it quickly, but it doesn't hurt to say it, as long as you can keep the Qing Dynasty, let me do anything!" Emperor Jiaqing said in a panic.

"Your Majesty, this is the case, if you want to retreat from the enemy now, you must start from three aspects in order to alleviate the current crisis."

"What three aspects?" Emperor Jiaqing couldn't help but ask, seeing that Wang Jie said so confidently, He Shen was also attracted to his heart, but his face was still the same as before, and there was no change.

"First, mobilize the people of the whole city to jointly defend the capital division and resist the thieves, so as to delay more time."

"Second, appoint a man who can speak as a minister, go to the enemy's camp, or surrender, or negotiate peace, and promise the other party as much as possible."

Hearing this, He Shen couldn't help but sneer secretly, and said in his heart: "It's just whimsical, maybe you don't understand the situation yet, however, I can't be clearer than ever, today's imperial court, whether it is to surrender or negotiate peace, what conditions can attract the other party?" What could be more attractive than these great rivers and mountains? ”

Knowing this, He Shen didn't say anything, and completely returned to the same appearance as he had at the beginning, no longer caring about Wang Jie's next words, however, at this time, Emperor Jiaqing asked worriedly: "Lord Wang, this situation is now, the first point is still reasonable, about the second point, can it work?" ”

Not only that, Zhu Jue also had the same questions and puzzles, looked at Wang Jie, showed an inquiring look, and said secretly: "No, it's impossible for Lord Wang not to understand this?" ”

At this time, Wang Jie smiled mysteriously and said loudly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, after listening to my third article, you will understand my intentions." ”
