The Taiping army captured Hangzhou, or in the entire Qing Dynasty set off an uproar, Hangzhou and Tianjing are different, Tianjing is now at most a symbol, now because Tianjing was attacked by Zeng Guoquan when the wanton looting and burning, the entire Tianjing population has been less than 100,000 people, abandoned to the extreme, but Hangzhou is different, Hangzhou due to less war, has been very well protected, the people's livelihood is rich, second only to Shanghai, even more prosperous than Suzhou, Hangzhou fell, it also means that Zhejiang is all finished!

The 700-mile rush movement launched from Jiaxing was soon sent to the court.

In the past two days, the mood of Yixin and the two palaces has just improved a little, because Shandong's Zuo Precious Shangshu finally wiped out the "twisting bandits" in Shandong, Shandong is now peaceful, and now Zuo Precious can finally pull out his hand!

But just two days after the excitement, Yixin and the two palaces were pondering another order to order Zuo Guigui to march into Henan to assist the monk king, Zuo Zongtang's rush to destroy all the good mood!

Shaoxing Mansion fell, Hangzhou Mansion fell, and only two state capitals remained in the hands of the imperial court in the whole of Zhejiang.

Above the court, all the people were dumbfounded, just pressed down the gourd, and the scoop floated again! Zhejiang, that's Zhejiang, the whole of Jiangsu and Zhejiang occupies half of the central finance! Zhejiang is lost, so where does the income of the imperial court come from?

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Yixin roared angrily: "Zuo Zongtang's subordinates have tens of thousands of heroes in their hands, and they can fight well, how could they suddenly be defeated by Shi Dakai?" When pigs fly! ”

Cixi said abruptly: "Sixth, didn't you see it? Changmao is equipped with firearms, equipped with a large number of foreign guns and cannons, the Chu army lacks firearms support, how can it resist Changmao's attack? ”

"No, Queen Mother, we must immediately counterattack! It's okay if Anhui loses it, and it's okay if Jiangxi loses it, but Zhejiang must not lose it, that's our granary, where does our annual tax come from! ”

"But? How can we counterattack now? Zuo Zongtang also failed, the Hunan army also failed, and now the Huai army has strong combat power in the south, a Li Hongzhang, the Huai army is only tens of thousands, and the troops are insufficient, how to compete with Changmao? ”

Ci'an asked.

Yixin said angrily: "We still have Zuo Guigui, this time, the minister personally went to Shandong, no matter what, he must urge Zuo Guigui to go south, and he must defeat Changmao in one fell swoop!" ”

Cixi hesitated for a moment and replied: "Sister, I think I can only let the sixth master go once, that Zuo Guigui has always had a pimple in his heart because of Guo Ye's matter, and it is useless for others to go......

"This ......"

Ci'an was still a little hesitant, after all, there was no Prince Gong sitting in Beijing City, what if something happened again?

Yixin saw Ci'an's concerns, and replied: "Queen Mother, this time the minister went to Jinan, day and night, seven or eight days as fast, and more than ten years at the slow, he must return, and the affairs of the court and the central government will be handed over to Lord Wen and Lord Cao for the time being, and you can also let Yi Xun study from the side, there are two adults here, and it must be disposed of......"

Ci'an sighed, is there any other way to think now?

No, there is no other way at all.

"In that case, Sixth Master, then you should go and return as early as possible, the court will not be able to ...... you"

Ci'an sighed.

Yixin bowed down to receive the order, and rushed out of the court to Jinan for several days.

Yixin rushed towards Jinan with a group of guards, and before he arrived at Jinan, there was a drastic change in the Central Plains!

This time it was not Shandong, not Jiangnan, not Shaanxi, it became Henan!

Originally, although the twist bandits in Henan were very tossed, but there were two people, Monk Greenqin and Shengbao, who could also suppress it, but most of the twist bandits were cavalry, and it was not easy to wipe out the twist bandits.

More than half a month ago, there was a rebellion in Shaanxi, the imperial court was forced to transfer Shengbao to Shaanxi to quell the turmoil, the whole Henan was handed over to the hands of Seng Greenqin, although only Monk Greenqin remained, but, Monk Greenqin still had twenty or thirty thousand Mongolian cavalry, although it was far less than the peak, but because it was equipped with some firearms, it was barely enough to deal with the bandits, since Shengbao left, Monk Greenqin still fought two beautiful battles, and stabilized the situation.

However, Zhang Luoxing of the Twist Army and Lai Wenguang of the Taiping Army were not given in vain to be fierce generals who had survived a hundred battles, and they were keenly aware of the changes in Henan.

This is a great opportunity to annihilate the Mongol cavalry of Seng Gelinqin, and then go north to Zhili, who knows that now Zhili has no elite soldiers, and the elite green battalion in the Gyeonggi area has been taken to Shaanxi by Shengbao, and the defense of Gyeonggi is empty!

Now it's just a way to kill Monk Greenqin!

However, how can we kill Monk Grinqin? You must know that Seng Lingqin is also a battle-hardened general, as famous as Zeng Guofan in the south, and the Mongolian cavalry under his command is even more brave and extraordinary, if you want to kill him, it is not so easy!

"King Zun, do you have any good ideas, we have to come up with a way......

Zhang Luoxing asked hesitantly.

Lai Wenguang muttered: "It is not impossible to kill Seng Greenqin, although Monk Greenqin is extremely brave, but he also has weaknesses, that is, belligerent and arrogant, as long as we can successfully arouse his anger, and then induce him to go deep alone, we twist the army and multi-cavalry, we can quickly encircle it, and defeat it in an instant with superior forces, and do not give his subordinates a chance to rescue......"

Zhang Luoxing sighed and replied: "King Zun, what you said is very good, but it is not so easy to implement such a strategy smoothly, you know, his subordinates are also mainly cavalry, and they can also move quickly and rush to help at any time......

Lai Wenguang sneered: "What are you afraid of? Now that Shengbao is gone, only the cavalry of Seng Lingqin remains, and it is far inferior to our army in terms of strength, I suggest sending a brigade of partial divisions to move forward in the direction of Qixian where Seng Greenqin is stationed, doesn't he love the people like a son? Then we will burn and loot on a large scale, we don't believe that he monk Greenqin can sit still, as long as he is led out by us, we will retreat all the way to the south, directly retreat to the area of Wild Bear Mountain, ambush soldiers in the area of Wild Bear Mountain, and snipe Monk Greenqin in one fell swoop! ”

"You mean to kill Monk Grinqin in Wild Bear Mountain? However, the distance from Wild Bear Mountain to Qixian is not very far, and the cavalry behind him can be reinforced at any time......"

"Aren't we going to stop them with reinforcements? As long as he can enter the Wild Bear Mountain, the terrain of the Wild Bear Mountain is dangerous, which is not conducive to the cavalry assault, and no matter how powerful he is, it will be difficult for him to fly! ”
