Although in the Forbidden City, the treasures that can be moved, last time, they have been completely swept away by Zhang Yun!

But this did not prevent Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng at this time from staying in the palace at night with great ambition. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

They were born with mud legs, and now they can sleep in the palace and can also sleep with palace maids......

The two of them almost woke up laughing in their dreams, especially the golden chair on the Taihe Palace, and the two of them took turns to sit for a long time before they were too addicted and withdrew from this hall.

Now what makes Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng regret it is ...... This time he shouldn't be sloppy with Zhang Yun, when he heard that Zhang Yun needed to help him fight, the two of them only brought tens of thousands of cavalry over, and the main force stayed in the field.

Who knows? The capital is so easy to fight!

Jin Yishan only made three moves and two styles, and suddenly broke through the city of Beijing, which Li Xiucheng sacrificed more than 100,000 lives to capture last time......

Now the capital is broken, but the two of them do not have the ability, and the seven outer gates of the capital, Yongding Gate and Guangqu Gate......

All of them are blocked, and then the rich people in the entire city of Beijing have become their own, fat sheep?

But now it's too late!

The two sides combined were only about 100,000 troops, and there was no way to completely blockade the capital.

In the past few days, I have often heard reports from below that in the middle of the night, people climbed out of the city from the city walls......

Of course, these people can't take most of their possessions out of the country, at most they bring with them a batch of extremely precious gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques.

But even so, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng are still heartbroken!

In their eyes, the entire city of Beijing should be their own, and all the rich people's families in it, including their wives and concubines, should also be their own things.

But now someone has taken away a small part of the most precious of them!

This kind of behavior has also made the two grass kings of the Taiping Army very troublesome these days!

At the same time, Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng even faintly complained about Zhang Yun, you said that you have such a good thing, you just say it!

If you have to beat around the bush, now let Lao Tzu brothers, there is no way to wrap up Beijing City, isn't this a pit?

Of course, they didn't have the courage to say this kind of thing to Zhang Yun, but this did not prevent them from hurriedly summoning their headquarters to come to the capital.

First, it is to meet himself, after all, this capital, I am afraid that Li Hongzhang will not sit idly by and watch the two of him, and will directly occupy it, and Zhang Yun will not support the Taiping Army to occupy the capital!

So from the beginning, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng had the intention of making a profit, and decided to retreat immediately after doing a vote in the Forbidden City.

By the time Li Hongzhang arrived, all the elite troops of the Taiping Army should have also rushed to the capital!

At that time, is it to go, or to stay? Isn't that up to you?

So Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng, while personally harming the common people in the capital, sent fast horses to the Central Plains to summon all their soldiers and horses, just in case......

At the same time, in Quyang County, Baoding Prefecture, Rong Lu, who had lost all his 50,000 cavalry, finally came to Rehe Palace.

Rong Lu, who had no soldiers and horses in his hands, had just arrived at the Rehe Palace, and some people had already advocated killing him!

It's a pity that this kind of behavior was forcibly stopped by Cixi, and when a few of his political enemies wanted to continue to attack, they were stopped by people with good intentions......

You must know that at this time, in the Manchu court, after the six princes were paralyzed and the monk Gelinqin died, except for Rong Lu, there were no generals who could lead the troops.

In this case, if there are still people in the court who want to attack Rong Lu, who has just lost, I am afraid it will backfire!

What followed was the ...... When it was transmitted to Sanya, Hainan, even Zhang Yun burst out with a foul language: "The Manchu court, sure enough, will not kill its own generals again!" ”

According to Zhang Yun's speculation, not killing Ronglu is probably not just the opinion of Cixi alone, but the Manchu and Mongolian nobles seem to have sensed that the foundation of their own land is shaking...... And want to do the remedy!

Therefore, don't talk about Jin Yishan, he defeated Rong Lu once, even if he defeated Rong Lu ten times......

The Manchurian nobles will still have a way to make Ronglu stand up again, of course, this is also Zhang Yun's purpose, that is, to keep putting the blood of the Manchurian nobles......

The subsequent development of events made the Manchurian nobles more convinced of the idea of supporting their own military strength, and Cixi also strengthened the idea of tightening her belt again and helping Ronglu up again.

Because when Cixi passed down the holy decree one after another, asking Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang to send troops to Henan to attack Jin Yishan and his party, preparing to let Li Hongzhang go to fight Zhang Yun to the death.

Li Hongzhang refused to send troops to Henan Province to attack Jin Yishan and his party.

On the contrary, he said righteously, and said to the Manchu court: "The capital is still in the hands of rebellion, and the ministers should do their best to go to the capital, drive away the thieves, and share the worries of the queen mother and the emperor!" ”

Cixi and a group of Manchu nobles, as soon as they received Li Hongzhang's recital, they already felt very bad, because this was not what a courtier should say to the king.

If this is a time of peace, Cixi only needs a holy decree to arrest Li Hongzhang and take him to the capital for questioning!

It's a pity that all this has passed, and the capital of the Manchu court was broken by the rebels twice......

Not to mention that Li Hongzhang and Zuo Zongtang had two hearts, that is, the landlord and gentry families all over the world, and they were also very confused at this time......

All those who understand know in their hearts that it is basically impossible for a dynasty to rise again if it has fallen to this point, not to mention that the current emperor is still a little doll wearing open crotch pants.

And now that the chaos is coming, everyone is a little hesitant, I don't know who will end up in this world? Who is the real son?

Zhang Yun's chaotic punch completely disturbed the situation in the entire world to the point that no one could see clearly.

The two grass kings of the Taiping Army are still entrenched in the capital, and they have no idea of leaving, and Li Hongzhang does not dare to enter Henan and attack Jinyi Mountain.

Because he was afraid that Zhang Yun would raise troops to the north and fight him to the end......

At this moment, Li Hongzhang also wanted to preserve his strength, and he didn't want to start a war with Zhang Yun immediately, so he rejected Cixi's strategy cleanly, wanting to drive away the wolf!

But now that the situation has reached this point, Li Hongzhang feels that he has to move, and Zhang Yun can sit firmly on the hook fish platform.

That's because he has eight southern provinces as his base and can afford to fight a long war, not counting the gains and losses of one city or one place......

But he only has the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, and even Anhui still needs to divide the world with the Taiping Army.

The current situation is that the Taiping army occupies the capital and refuses to move at all, as long as he still needs to be this Manchu courtier and win this righteous name.

Li Hongzhang must send troops to the capital to drive away the grass kings of the two Taiping armies...... Otherwise, the only way to do this is to rebel immediately!

However, Li Hongzhang estimated his strength, and now immediately raised the flag to rebel, putting aside the identity of a Manchu slave.

I'm afraid that in the end, the odds of victory are not great, because even if the capital of the Manchu court was broken by the rebels twice, it can be said that it is prestigious, but even so, the court has raised soldiers for two or three hundred years, is there no one who dies?

And its own foundation comes from the landlord and gentry class, if there are people in this class, or many people, still support the Manchu court.

Li Hongzhang felt that he still needed to keep a low profile for a while, so what about being a Manchu slave for another while? Isn't it just sending troops to the capital? Get out of it yourself!

What's more, Li Hongzhang thought of Zuo Zongtang again, saying that he was a good partner of his family, but unfortunately he always wanted to fight for power with himself!

Just take this good opportunity to give him tens of thousands of horses, and in the name of sending him to King Qin, let him hold Cixi's stinky feet......

As long as he turns around and leaves, the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, including half of Anhui, will all be his own!

Li Hongzhang's abacus was banging, banging......

immediately called someone to invite Zuo Zongtang over, and the two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while.

Li Hongzhang got straight to the point and said: "This time the imperial court was in trouble, and the capital was broken by the thief army again, so that the Manchu Dynasty civil and military forces had to take refuge in the Rehe Palace again......"

"This official originally wanted to respond to the emperor's decree and immediately go to attack Jin Yishan, but he was afraid that Zhang Yun would retaliate, so he had to hold his troops and deal with the enemy for the time being."

"But the capital must be taken back, otherwise where will the saint live?"

"But Zhang Yun in the south is about to move, and the official really can't leave, so this arduous task can only be handed over to you, Lord Zuo!"

"This official has calculated, now the army under our command should be 1780,000, this official will give you 60,000 horses, Lord Zuo, you will take them and go to King Qin in Beijing to ......"

After listening to Li Hongzhang's blind ****, Zuo Zongtang lowered his head and pondered, anyway, if he stays here, he will always be the second in ten thousand years.

And this time, Rong Lu was beaten into a dog again, and he raised troops to the north at this time, didn't he just scratch the itch of the imperial court?

Although Li Hongzhang only gave himself 60,000 horses, in this era of war and chaos, isn't it very simple to expand the army?

He only needs to keep pulling strong men along the road, and by the time he leads the army to the outskirts of the capital, he should be able to expand the army to two or three hundred thousand......

At that time, he will definitely be able to fight with the two grass kings of the Taiping Army!

As for whether to win or not? We'll talk about it then!

Anyway, in the name of the imperial court, when he goes to buy guns from foreigners again, he should not receive any trouble, after all, foreigners will still support the imperial court.

And even if this battle is not won, Zuo Zongtang thinks to himself, when the time comes, he will be driven away from the capital by the two grass-headed kings of the Taiping Army, so it doesn't matter, he still holds two or three hundred thousand troops in his hands, where can he not go in the world?

To say something unconscionable, Zuo Zongtang asked himself, when the time comes, he has two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses, and in desperation, he can surrender directly to Zhang Yun......

Of course, this is the choice that will be made in a desperate situation, after all, as a clear-eyed person, Zhang Yun is in Zuo Zongtang's eyes, but there are not many secrets......

After considering the worst possibilities, Zuo Zongtang agreed to Li Hongzhang's conditions, saying that he would immediately lead 60,000 soldiers and horses to the north to go to King Qin, and he went under the banner of the two.

Li Hongzhang finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Zuo Zongtang's attitude, especially when he heard that he was willing to go to King Qin in his name.

Then the two began an emergency separation...... Full of the new army's family background, Li Hongzhang is not stingy.

directly gave Zuo Zongtang about 30%, except for the rifles, which were only given 60,000, Li Hongzhang did not lack Zuo Zongtang's other materials, and expected him to go to the capital to defeat the Taiping Army!

Of course, Zuo Zongtang also knew Li Hongzhang's thoughts, so naturally he was not grateful to him......

Silently packed his bags, he took 60,000 horses and began to advance in the direction of Shandong, preparing for the battle in Beijing.

Of course, forcibly pulling Zhuang Ding or something along the way, Zuo Zongtang also did it unscrupulously!

Anyway, this world has become like this, except for the eight provinces under the rule of Zhang Yun in the south, where can the entire country find a piece of pure land?

So even if you are a little more despicable, who dares to say anything?

Cixi and the Manchu court? Don't be funny!

Zuo Zongtang knows very well in his heart that today's Cixi and the Manchu magnates may regard themselves as a life-saving straw, and they should pretend to be invisible to some of their actions.

Of course, Zuo Zongtang also knew very well in his heart that they didn't value themselves very much, but just used each other!

The Manchu court used itself to stabilize its rule, and Zuo Zongtang felt that he could use the Manchu court to win enough righteous fame for himself...... This is something that is beneficial to both parties!

After all, in this world, not everyone is Zhang Yun, who has the strength to flip the table with anyone, and is not afraid of anyone threatening him.

And after learning that Zuo Zongtang was coming towards the capital with great momentum, Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng, who had already robbed the capital, burned the capital very neatly!

Aren't you here to retake the capital? Lao Tzu doesn't need you to take it, and give you back a capital that has been burned to the ground.

The reason why Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng did this was only because during this time, they made a fortune in the capital!

Originally, Yang Desheng still wanted to fight with Zuo Zongtang in the capital, and Zhou Yuancheng also had this idea......

As a result, in the next few days, soldiers kept disappearing...... This is not a good sign, as soon as I inquired, I found out that all the soldiers were full of money!

At this time, who is willing to give their lives to the people above to fight? There are many ordinary soldiers, so they take advantage of the situation to smear oil on the soles of their feet, take most of the money they have robbed, and go back to their hometown to become landlords!

When Yang Desheng personally patrolled the streets, he found that some soldiers were carrying bags on their bodies, even when they were on duty, they never put it down, counting on such an army to fight, Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng were not faint!

Therefore, they decisively chose to run away!

The subsequent withdrawal from the capital made the two rejoice.

Because of the withdrawal from the capital for half a day, the entire team of more than 100,000 people is still grinding on the outskirts of the capital...... Some soldiers also robbed a few wives, and they have to take them away at this time!

This scene is ...... Let the high-ranking officials of the Taiping Army finally react, and now they don't leave, wait until Zuo Zongtang's group of hungry soldiers sees that their army has become fat like this.

Then there is no need to retreat, just stay in the capital and fight each other!

After all, from ancient times to the present, when I haven't heard of a war, there are many soldiers who can win the battle together with their wives......

Of course, the eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, these low-level soldiers of the Taiping Army just drank a mouthful of soup, and most of the wealth in the entire capital includes a large number of beautiful women.

At this time, they are all at the front of the line, as for whose property do they belong to? Even if you're a fool, you know.

Yang Desheng alone brought out hundreds of carriages from the capital, and these hundreds of carriages, looking at the depth of the wheels, you can know that the goods contained on them are definitely a lot.

As far as the banditry behavior of the Taiping Army is concerned, since Yang Desheng has eaten meat, of course he will sprinkle the bones to the backbones below!

Therefore, this time, the Taiping army retreated from the capital, but it was as if they were moving, and almost all the Taiping officers, large and small, had great gains.

It's just that at this time, they are all in a hurry, because Zuo Zongtang's soldiers and horses are also about to enter Hebei, this news is not good news, especially when their subordinates can't speed up, a group of high-ranking officials of the Taiping Army, at this time, are very headaches, of course, happy headaches......
