Yixin has just been born these days, Guo Ye has been away from the Americas, and it has been nearly a month since he left, and the situation in Shandong has barely stabilized, after all, Ding Baozhen still stayed in Jinan and continued to serve as an envoy, with Guo Songtao, Ding Baozhen and Li Junfeng on top, and other bigwigs want to fight Shandong's idea, but it is not so easy.

However, this comfortable day has not been over for a few days! Something happened to Jiangnan again!

Wen Xiang said astringently: "Yes, Lord Wang, this time Shi Dakai led 50,000 long-haired elites out of Sichuan, the entire Sichuan has been occupied by Shi Dakai, and even Chengdu has been lost, not only Jiujiang and Anqing have been captured, but in the battle of Wusong Mountain, the main force of the Hunan army of more than 40,000 people led by Zeng Guoquan and Bao Chao was defeated by Shi Dakai in one fell swoop, and only led more than 10,000 people to escape!" ”

Yixin felt that it was dark in front of him, Shi Dakai, this is the most difficult leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to deal with, even more difficult than Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng! I didn't expect that he would be killed again from Sichuan, damn it, those people in Sichuan are waste, waste!

"So what's the situation in Jiangnan now?"

Yixin asked eagerly.

"The governor of Liangjiang, Zeng Guofan, is 700 miles faster, and now from Jiujiang in the west, Wuhu in the east, and Lu'an in the north, is it possible that the entire central and southern Anhui of Huizhou is occupied by Shi Dakai's rebels, Zeng Guoquan and Bao Chao retreated to Hefei, and they can't retreat, and Anhui has lost most of it......"

Wen Xiang said abruptly, "This is not the most critical, the most critical thing is that Shi Dakai won the first battle, and took more than 30 counties in Jiujiang, Anqing, Tongling, Wuhu, Huizhou, and Lu'an, and the momentum was greatly boosted, and now the remaining parties of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom entrenched in various parts of the Jiangnan have begun to move closer to the territory of Anhui, and in a short period of time, Shi Dakai's army has expanded from 50,000 to more than 100,000. Our hard work in capturing Tianjing was ruined in one fell swoop......"

Yixin was so angry and anxious that he almost spurted out a mouthful of blood!

"Bochuan, what's going on in Jiangnan? What the hell is Zeng Guofan doing? actually let Shi Dakai do whatever he wanted? What did he, the governor of Liangjiang, do? ”

Wen Xiang sighed and said: "Lord Wang, after all, this matter is still no wonder Zeng Disheng, think about it." Tianjing has already contributed, Hong Xiuquan was killed, the Hunan army had already completed the task, and it was naturally difficult to maintain the original peak combat strength, and the imperial court had replied to Zeng Disheng and agreed to dismiss the Hunan army of more than 40,000 people, and the total strength of the current Hunan army has dropped from more than 100,000 people at its peak to 70,000 or 80,000 now. Distributed in several provinces in the south of the Yangtze River, the whole of Anhui, Zeng Guoquan can mobilize only 50,000 troops, in order to recapture Anqing, Zeng Guoquan gathered more than 40,000 troops in one breath, and Shi Dakai in Wusong Mountain for a decisive battle, the result is a complete defeat, Anhui defense is empty. As a result, it was taken advantage of by Shi Dakai, and it only took more than ten days. Tongling, Huizhou, Wuhu and other places have fallen......"

Now that Prince Gong regrets committing suicide, why listen to those clear streams if he has nothing to do? Do you have to cut the Hunan army? It's okay now, Li Xiucheng has just been annihilated, and Shi Dakai has made a comeback, it's fatal, what should I do?

Yixin was stunned. I lost my judgment for a moment and didn't know what to do.

Wen Xiang said in a low voice: "Prince, Prince? ”

Yixin woke up and said hurriedly: "Bochuan, what should I do now?" Is it to immediately mobilize the forces in Jiangnan. Encirclement and suppression of Shi Dakai? ”

Wen Xiang smiled bitterly: "Lord Wang, if you want to encircle and suppress Shi Dakai, how easy is it to talk about, not to mention that Jiangnan is unfinished, Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang's army is difficult to pull away, even if Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang can turn around and Anhui now, who can guarantee that the two of them can deal with Shi Dakai?" You must know that in a short period of time, Shi Dakai has gathered more than 100,000 troops, and the Huai army and the Chu army are as advanced as their weapons, but after all, there are not many troops, and they have to leave some troops to garrison Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Fujian, how many troops can they draw out? ”

"You can't pull it, you have to pull it! Raising tigers is a problem, raising tigers is a problem, the other remnants of the Taiping Army are just child's play, a group of grass kings, but this Shi Dakai is different, whether it is Zeng Guofan or Zuo Zongtang, Shi Dakai is extremely jealous! If you don't take advantage of his unstable foothold and encircle and annihilate him in one fell swoop, and wait until he becomes the climate again, it will be a big trouble! ”

Yi Xin jumped straight to his feet.

Wen Xiang shook his head and replied: "Lord Wang, it's useless to be anxious now, let's go to the court first, and see if there is any good way for the princes in the court to ......"

Yixin stood up, picked up the music, and shouted: "Let's go, Bochuan, let's go into the palace together!" ”

If such a big thing happened, if you want to sit calmly in the house, Yixin can't do it anymore, it's impossible!

Yixin and Wenxiang sat in a sedan chair and went straight into the Forbidden City and came to the East Warm Pavilion!

I heard that the king of Yizheng and the scholar of literature asked for an audience, and the Empress Dowager Ci'an in the Dongnuan Pavilion was already in her heart, and now that it was night, the two of them came over, it must be in addition to the matter.

"Come on, immediately go to the west and invite the queen mother and queen mother to come over to discuss the matter, and let the king and the lady come in."

It didn't take long, Yixin and Wenxiang walked in, and after a while, Cixi also came to Dongnuan Pavilion, these days, Cixi is always angry, for Guo Ye's affairs, he still can't calm down, it's really these courtiers who are too bullying, specially, bullying their lovers, it's bearable, it's unbearable!

However, after all, the arm still couldn't twist the thigh, and the dying princes in the court attacked it, even the two queen mothers and the king of parliament couldn't withstand it!

"Sister, it's so late, call my sister over, what's the matter?"

As soon as Cixi sat down, she asked.

Ci'an looked at Yixin and said, "Sister, the mourning family is still unclear, sixth master, tell me, what's going on?" ”

Yixin wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and said in a low voice: "Qi two queen mothers, something happened in Jiangnan...... Some time ago, Changmao Shou Shi Dakai captured Chengdu and occupied Sichuan, and now he returned to the east to march eastward, crossed Hubei, and went straight into the Yangtze River, and went down the river to take Jiujiang, Anqing, Wuhu and other places, and at the foot of Wusong Mountain, Zeng Guoquan was beaten to the point that he lost his armor and suffered heavy casualties, and now the entire southern part of Anhui and the northeast of Jiangxi have fallen into the hands of Changmao, and the situation in Jiangnan is critical......"

Ci'an and Cixi were shocked, what? In less than a few days, except for such a big thing!

"How? There was such a big thing, and it was only now that the imperial court knew about it! ”

Cixi shouted softly. (To be continued.) )
