The war situation developed so fast and smoothly that even Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai and others in Tianjing City felt that the original plan to temporarily stop along the Yellow River and negotiate peace with the Manchus in the north was not too conservative.

At the meeting of the Supreme Revolutionary Commanders in Tianjing, almost everyone thought that the battlefields in Henan and Shandong would be fierce battles, but who knew that under the wave of Lin Haifeng's invisible giant hand, this qiē would end lightly in the blink of an eye. As the saying goes, learning war in war, Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai and others have indeed learned a lot from Lin Haifeng, and they have also better understood the power of the people's war.

Of course, it was precisely because they felt the power of the people in their hearts that Yang Xiuqing and others came up with the idea of crossing the Yellow River, leveling the city of Beijing in one fell swoop, and spreading the word to determine the world. This optimistic idea was not only present in Tianjing, but even stronger in the departments of the Red Army at the front.

In the city of Jinan, Lin Haifeng does not seem to be so optimistic. He was busy formulating various policies for dealing with the war situation in the northwest, busily transferring personnel to strengthen the local governments in Shandong and Henan so that the policy of reducing rents and interest rates could be quickly implemented in various localities, and he was busy stressing to the members of the Supreme Revolutionary Commanders' Council several times that the established policy must be implemented. At the same time, in accordance with his instructions, the special personnel of the logistics department of the northern camp rushed to Tianjing and various military clothing factories in the south to supervise the production of 500,000 sets of the Red Army's northern winter clothing, which had been ordered at the beginning of the year.

Finally, he had to arrange and lead the victims of the Yellow River diversion in eastern Henan, southwestern Shandong and other places to produce and save themselves. As a result, an incident occurred that confused the various units of the Red Army that had just been transferred to rest, and even more stunned the Manchu Qing and Tsarist Russian troops on the other side of the Yellow River.

On the long Yellow River stretching for more than 1,000 miles from Kaifeng in the west to Guangrao in the east, there were Red Army men and horses who picked up tools and built embankments and cofferdams together with the local people. In particular, in the hardest-hit areas where the Yellow River was diverted last year, from Tongwaxiang to Dongping in Lanyang, Henan, nearly 100,000 Red Army officers and soldiers of the Celestial Empire went to the front line of the Yellow River control project one after another.

Regarding Lin Haifeng's decision, don't say that the enemies on the other side couldn't understand it, at the beginning, there were a lot of discussions within themselves, and many people were unimpressed, and even a little worried. However, as time passed, as the construction of the temporary embankment helped the people along the Yellow River to survive the subsequent flood season of the Yellow River, those officials who were not necessarily convinced in their hearts, although they understood on the surface at the time, finally understood how great Lin Haifeng's decision should have been.

Lin Haifeng is actually telling the people of the world with his actions that the red Taiping Celestial Dynasty is different from the puppet dynasty of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, what is the difference? This behavior in front of the interests of the people's life and death is the biggest difference. For their own selfish interests, the Manchu government and its dog officials remained unmoved even at the moment of crisis when the floods of the Yellow River spread throughout eastern Henan and Shandong, and only ignored the suffering of the people in the disaster area who "had no rafters to live in, no food to eat, and no food to store" or "died of hunger and water", and viciously cursed this "rotten land where the villagers would rather attach themselves to bandits and are willing to degenerate." The Celestial Empire is different, just as Lin Haifeng said when mobilizing the troops participating in the Yellow Control Project, the interests of the people are the supreme interests of our Celestial Empire government and the Celestial Empire Red Army.

This two-month campaign not only did not drag down the army, as some people feared, but also did not give the enemy on the opposite side any opportunity to take advantage of, but on the contrary, the people of Henan and Shandong, the two new areas of the Celestial Empire, became more integrated with the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. After that, when the soldiers of the Red Army in the Celestial Empire were like wings, they flew over the Yellow River moat overnight, drove thousands of miles but never had a headache or a fire because of the lack of logistics supplies, what did people see? What they saw was the figure of the tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and hundreds of thousands of simple people from Henan and Shandong who were following behind the Red Army officers and men. Of course, there are tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, of their outstanding sons and daughters who have joined this red army to shed blood and sacrifice for more people to live a free and happy life like their own homes. The people are kind, the people's eyes are bright, and there is a balance in the hearts of the people, and whoever this balance tilts will burst out with unparalleled tremendous energy. This energy is far from what ordinary people can imagine and obtain.

On the morning of 20 May, Chen Yucheng welcomed Ruilin and his entourage from across the river in the Yamen Hall of the former Manchu Governor of Shandong, now in the meeting room of the Shandong Provincial Government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, located in the center of the inner street of the West Gate of Jinan City.

Ruilin, who was able to sit face to face with his opponent for the second time, compared with the two times before and after, how complicated his mood was, not to mention for the time being, this time, at least he was holding a hot yam again.

For the Manchu court in the Forbidden City, the north-south peace talks were like an arranged marriage, which was run by the Tsarists when many people who held real power did not know what to do. Perhaps the Tsarist Russia did not anticipate in advance that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government in Tianjing would accept the peace talks so happily, or perhaps the Tsarists overestimated their ability to control the magnates in the Forbidden City, in short, they were unable to organize a real negotiating delegation when the date of the peace talks was approaching. Because, the little Empress Dowager Cixi in the Forbidden City finally learned the inside story, turned her face.

"On weekdays, everyone knows that this master is powerful, but no one has ever seen her go crazy like that." A palace eunuch at the time said, "Not long after the chief adviser of Putiyating entered the queen mother's room that day, he quickly ran out of it in disgrace. Then there was a crackling sound of porcelain and jade breaking, as well as the shrill crying and scolding of the Queen Mother, which made everyone waiting outside shudder, and their hair stood on end. Really, I can't even figure out where she learned the swear words that she almost never repeats. Sure enough, it didn't take long for the calamity of our people to come. She began to summon people, and when she went in, she let out a terrible howl. At this time, where is there anything she can look at? I was young at that time, as old as Li Lianying, only twelve, when it came to me, as soon as I entered the hall, I saw that her hair was scattered, her eyes were blood-red, and the corners of her mouth were full of white foam. By the time I woke up, it was like that, both legs were broken. I was still a big day that day, how many people were killed in a day? Alas, I can't say she's a shrew, because she's far worse than she...... Until today, more than ten years have passed, and when I think of what she looked like at that time, I will be awakened in my dreams. ”

At this moment, Putiyatin, Muravyov, and Ignatiev, the minister to China, and others were anxious. It's not because they're afraid of losing their credibility in front of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom government, it's a matter of one time and another, and it doesn't matter if they lose it or not. The problem is that they are afraid of losing their vested interests that have already been acquired. Not to mention the defeat of the Qing armies in Henan and Shandong, the defeat was still very fast, and they did not even leave a little time for them to react.

Just when they felt helpless, Weihai fought again. As soon as Puti Yatin and the others gritted their teeth, they began to persuade Wang Yixin, who had almost gone into hiding, to send a delegation to Jinan in the name of the headquarters of the Russian-Qing coalition army.

Li Hongzhang didn't come, and kept saying that he disdained those bandits to sit together, in fact, Ruilin knew that Li Hongzhang was afraid of death, afraid that Jinan would become his grave. Somehow, as a member of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, as the main general of the same loyal and righteous salvation ** who was hated by the Taiping Red Army, Ruilin sometimes has a feeling. Sooner or later, Li Hongzhang will die worse than him. He did not approve of the rebellion of the Taiping army, but he believed in the credibility of the Taiping army, after all, after the forced surrender of Chaohu, they fulfilled the preface and happily released him back to Beijing.

"Although we used to be mortal enemies on the battlefield, since we can sit together, it is fate. Regardless of the final result of official affairs, I wish you all a happy life in Jinan. Along the way, everyone has seen that we are the people who are most enthusiastic about peace, and only with peace can the people have a stable and happy life. ”

As soon as Chen Yucheng's brief speech was finished, before the start of the Battle of Jinan, Habakev hurriedly retreated to the north bank, and at this time, Habakev, who appeared in the Manchu delegation, stood up impatiently, "Your Excellency, Commander-in-Chief Chen, according to reliable information, your army's Tenth Army is attacking our Weihai garrison, which is a very regrettable act, and it has seriously hurt the feelings of our peace-loving Tsarist Empire. Please refrain from such irrational behavior of your subordinates. ”

Chen Yucheng looked at Ruilin strangely, and then at this Habakev, and smiled, "Your intelligence is not accurate, my Red Tenth Army is advancing towards Dengzhou, how can you go to Weihai?" Of course, maybe other armies went there, it's normal, the feet grow on our own legs, and it's on our own land, where we want to go is not something we want to do? Besides, the peace talks have not yet begun, and General Ruilin is here today only to discuss specific matters for future negotiations. When the time comes for a formal armistice to be negotiated, we will naturally stop. In this world, I am afraid that the only one who can say it can be fulfilled is our Celestial Empire. ”
