A mass murder was staged in the palace, and all those who had anything to do with Yi were killed.

The entire palace was full of blood.

Cries, screams, and begs for mercy continued to sound one after another.

It's just that no sound can move Liu Jintang, and no begging for mercy can affect Liu Jintang. His face was cold, and he cruelly ordered the soldiers to slaughter the royal children in the imperial city. In half a day, all the royal disciples in the Forbidden City were killed, and none were left. After Zuo Zongtang entered the Forbidden City with the army, he got the news and was so angry that he stomped his feet again and again.

This kid is too bold.

Yi was killed, the queen was killed, and even the people of the royal family were slaughtered.

This, how to explain it!

The royal children and eunuchs of the imperial city were slaughtered, and Zuo Zongtang withdrew from the Forbidden City with his troops and did not camp in the city. After returning to the city, Zuo Zongtang immediately ordered the soldiers to be restrained, not allowed to disturb the people, and let the soldiers be stationed in a proper manner.

In the big tent of the Chinese army, Zuo Zongtang's expression was cold, his face was cold, and he was very unhappy.

Liu Jintang stood in the camp tent and bowed his back, extremely respectful.

Zuo Zongtang looked at Liu Jintang standing in the camp tent, and said with a sneer: "Brigade Commander Liu, your wings have grown stiff, and you actually ordered to kill Empress Yihe and others without authorization, don't you know that the queen is Guiliang's daughter?" And is the queen still the princess's sister? In addition, the children of the royal family were also slaughtered by you. Get ready to explain it to the prince yourself. ”

Liu Jintang hugged his fists and said: "Zuo Shuai, before doing it, I have already thought about it clearly. ”

"Oh. You said. Zuo Zongtang said.

Liu Jintang hugged his fists and said: "With the current situation of the prince, the young lord of Nanjing is incapable, and the queen mother of the two palaces has no strength to stop the prince, and when the world is calm, it will definitely be the prince who will govern and replace the Manchu Dynasty." Since the prince is going to reach the top, keeping the Yi father and son is to leave trouble and cause trouble to the prince. Now I recklessly ordered the soldiers to kill them, which was to die in the war, which reduced the prince's problems and prevented the prince from falling into a difficult situation because of the request of Gui Liang and the princess. ”

Zuo Zongtang smiled slightly and said, "Okay, you are polite." ”

Liu Jintang smiled and said, "Zuo Shuai clearly knows my intentions, but he still has to take a special examination. You can't bother me. After a pause, Liu Jintang said: "Zuo Shuai, in fact, I still want to slaughter the children of the Eight Banners in Beijing City. These people walk dogs and fight cocks, they don't learn and don't know how to do it, they are the root cause of corruption in the Qing Dynasty. Executing them really cleared the way for the prince. ”

"Idiot!"

Zuo Zongtang scolded, his expression serious.

Liu Jintang asked: "Zuo Shuai, why am I wrong?" ”

Zuo Zongtang said solemnly: "Your starting point is good, for the sake of the prince, but you killed all the children of the Eight Banners, don't you know the trouble here?" After the Qing Dynasty replaced the Ming Dynasty, for hundreds of years, there were countless children of the Eight Banners. If you really do this, you will push yourself out to oppose the children of the Eight Banners, and you will not be able to sleep peacefully. ”

After a pause, Zuo Zongtang continued: "We eat the king's fortune and share our worries for the king, but we have to ensure our own safety. As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand on a dangerous wall, you have to think about your own future and your own safety. After all, once the children of the Eight Banners are slaughtered, it may set off even greater cholera, and the consequences are immeasurable, I don't approve of your actions, and I don't allow you to send troops to deal with these people without authorization. In the future, the prince will solve it. ”

"Yes!"

Liu Jintang felt Zuo Zongtang's care and nodded.

……

Nanjing, Imperial Palace.

In the palace, two beautiful women are taking a walk with their three-year-old children.

Of these two women, one of them was Cixi, the biological mother of Emperor Tongzhi, and the other was Ci'an, the empress of Xianfeng. The two of them led the little emperor of Tongzhi one left and one right, chatting while walking. Cixi's expression looked a little serious, and she said bitterly: "Sister, there is news from the north that Li Zhen has defeated the Russian governor and taken Vladivostok, which was ceded out. ”

Ci'an sighed lightly, and then said: "Not to stop there, I also heard the palace maid in the palace say that Zuo Zongtang has captured Beijing, Yi and Yi's heirs have been killed, and none of the royal children who stayed in Beijing have been left. Now, only Shi Dakai in southwest Sichuan can unify the whole country and restore the unity of the Qing Dynasty. ”

The two chatted and sat down in the pavilion.

Cixi made a move and asked the palace maid to take the little emperor away, and said in a low voice: "Sister, the more this is the case, the more dangerous we are!" ”

Ci'an looked left and right, and when he saw that there was no one around, he also whispered, "I don't know!" Li Zhen is a wolf with ambitions, and now that he has destroyed Yihou, he is even more powerful in the world. Once Li Zhen swept the world, I am afraid that it will be the time for the emperor to abdicate, how can this thief not be killed when he goes to the north! ”

Cixi said, "Sister, we need to plan. You have to prepare. ”

Ci'an nodded, and the two muttered quietly.

When the two were talking, Han Laiyu, who was in charge of everything in the palace, got the news. He didn't take Cixi and Ci'an in his eyes, because these two women could not achieve great things, and it was impossible for them to pose a threat to Li Zhen.

……

Outside the city of Boehly, a team drove by.

This team, composed of elite Russian soldiers, protected Tsar Alexander II.

After he got the letter from Shanapova, he was so angry that he trembled when he saw the content of the letter, but he didn't expect that Muravyov, who could fight well, would become Li Zhen's prisoner. Alexander II did not want to go to Vladivostok, but the lives of Muravyov and tens of thousands of soldiers were in the hands of Li Zhen, and he had to go, otherwise once the news of his disregard for the lives of his soldiers spread, it would definitely cause turmoil.

Alexander II, with a gloomy face all the way, continued on his way.

……

Vladivostok, winter goes to spring.

It's March, and it's been nearly two months since Shanapova left. During this period, Li Zhen used troops again and again, using Vladivostok as a base, and continued to develop around, and the original base of Muravyov, Boli City, has also become Li Zhen's bag, and Heilongjiang has also completely surrendered to Li Zhen.

In addition, Li Zhen has taken back the land ceded by Yi and swept away the Russian soldiers stationed there.

Vladivostok, in the middle of the city.

Peng Yulin had a happy expression on his face and came to Li Zhen's study to report: "Lord Wang, there are two happy events today. ”

Li Zhen smiled: "What kind of happy event? ”

Peng Yulin replied: "The first thing is that Zuo Zongtang led his troops to sweep Yi and take Beijing City. The second thing was news from the front that the emperor of Tsarist Russia, Alexander II, was arriving with a team and had passed the city of Boli. ”

"Good!"

Li Zhen stood up and was overjoyed.

PS: The second shift, call it a day. The previous chapter made Zuo Zongtang Zeng Guofan, which has been revised. Some time ago, I broke out, I went to bed late every night, I couldn't lift my spirits these days, and I fell asleep at night, so let me adjust it slightly.
