Chapter 140: The Moth of the Lan Guiren
Rehe, Chengde, summer resort.
Emperor Xianfeng ran for seven or eight days before arriving in Chengde, all the way to escape, so that Xianfeng's original body was not strong, completely collapsed, whether it was the collapse of the body, but also the collapse of the spirit, the fall of Dagukou and Tianjin successively, caused a heavy blow to it, no longer ambitious, no longer the dignity of the emperor, can live one more day, will never die early!
When he came to Chengde, Xianfeng couldn't afford to be sick, with a continuous high fever, his body was weak these days, and he had lost the brilliance of a middle-aged man in his eyes, and the queen and Concubine Lan were waiting on the side.
At this time, the good news of Seng Lingqin was delivered to Xianfeng's bed.
Su Shun rushed in with his feet and shouted: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, great joy, great joy!" ”
Xianfeng frowned, at this time, what other happy events are there? If Monk Lingqin fights again, I'm afraid that even Beijing City will fall now, right?
Xianfeng said weakly: "Su Shun, what's the matter, so happy?" ”
Su Shun bowed down with a smile and said, "Your Majesty, great joy, the slave is here to report good news to you!" A few days ago, when the monk king was fighting fiercely with foreigners, Guo Ye led the army to suddenly come, and successively defeated the British and French forces three times in Bali Bridge, Yujiawei, Shuangqiao and other places, killing more than 5,000 foreigners, countless wounded, and countless military supplies were captured! God bless me! ”
Yes......
Xianfeng was in high spirits, I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect it, it turned out to be a big victory, a big victory!
It seems that this Guo Ye is a real blessed general, before he appeared, Seng Lingqin was defeated one after another, defeated and lost, and was chased all the way from Dagukou to Tongxian by the British and French coalition forces; As soon as this Guo Ye appeared, he immediately changed the tide of the battle, first defeating the French army, and then defeating the British army twice, it was really incredible, incredible! How did this guy lead the troops, he was able to win every battle, and he would win every battle!
Xianfeng shouted: "What about the chapter, the chapter, hurry up and show it to me!" ”
Su Shun hurriedly handed over the recital.
"Prince Horqin, Governor of Gyeonggi Military Affairs Monk Grinqin said: On June 20, the minister led the army to fight fiercely with the foreigners at the Bali Bridge, and Guo Ye, the acting governor of Zhili and the chief soldier of Baoding Town, led the army to rush thousands of miles to help, raided the back of the French position, defeated the French Western Route Army in one fell swoop, seriously injured the French commander-in-chief Meng Daban, killed more than 1,000 enemies, wounded 2,000 enemies, and repelled the British and French forces in one fell swoop; On the 22nd, Guo Ye led his army and the Mongol cavalry to besiege Yujiawei in one step, defeating the British Royal Cavalry Regiment, the British army suffered nearly 2,000 casualties, and retreated to Zhangjiawan in the east; Guo Ye led the cavalry to ambush the British army and Shuangqiao, killing more than 1,500 enemies in a battle, capturing a large number of artillery and foreign guns, and the British and French troops were greatly injured, and they had retreated to Zhangjiawan...... The successive victories all rely on the protection of the ancestors, the Son of Heaven is mighty, the soldiers use their lives, and the ministers dare not be greedy for merit, and they are played one by one. Monk Grinqin greets St. Ann again! ”
Hundreds of words, every word, this good news, more effective than Shaolin Da Dan, Xianfeng looked at it, the pain on his body had gone five or six points, and he shouted excitedly: "Good, good!" That's great! The monk king is worthy of being my Great Qing Pillar Stone, and Guo Ye is worthy of being my guardian Huo! ”
Concubine Lan's eyes on the side were circulating, and the young general with a radiant and majestic face suddenly appeared in front of her, Guo Ye, Guo Ye again, it was a blessing for the Great Qing Kingdom to be able to get this genius, Concubine Lan's heart was pounding.
"Your Majesty, the monk and Guo Ye have made this immortal achievement, and you need to be rewarded, so that the courtiers below can be more attentive to the king's affairs......"
Concubine Lan opened her mouth lightly and said softly.
Su Shun's face below was a little gloomy, the ancestors became a law, the harem was not allowed to interfere in politics, since the emperor patrolled, his health was not good, and many affairs were entrusted to Concubine Lan, and now Concubine Lan is becoming more and more unruly, is this worth it?
Xianfeng on the side was excited, where could he still take care of so much, and said continuously: "Yes, reward, everyone must be rewarded!" Immediately passed the decree, Monk Greenqin added the book of the military department, entered the military plane, and gave a pearl! Guo Ye is a national meritorious officer, and he is actually awarded the direct subordinate governor, plus the prime minister, the minister of the Yamen Xiangban Office of the National Affairs, the first-class Jing Zhongnan, and the reward is 10,000 taels of silver! This, now the royal driving patrol, naturally can't be rewarded, and after I return to Beijing, I will be rewarded! ”
Xianfeng sat up from the bed and shouted, "Come on, change my clothes, I'm going to go out for a walk, haha......"
The queen and Concubine Lan were taken aback, and hurriedly stopped: "Your Majesty, your dragon body is not safe, so don't get out of bed......"
Xianfeng said with a smile: "It's okay, this piece is the best medicine, it's really almost better, Su Shun, I've worked hard for you these days, I'm getting better today, go find a few troupes for me, set up a stage, I want to listen to the play, find me a few famous actors!" ”
Su Shun hurriedly replied: "Yes, the emperor, the slave will go and prepare!" ”
Xianfeng is really the emperor, the city of Beijing is shaky, Tongzhou is still fighting repeatedly, he still has the heart to listen to the drama here, those fallen soldiers are only afraid that they will vomit blood in the underworld.
Lan Guiren on the side said softly: "Your Majesty, this Guo Ye is so capable of fighting, do you think he will be transferred to Chengde to escort him?" This, we are here, but it is very thin, once there is a foreigner making trouble, it can be ......"
When Xianfeng heard this, he had some intentions, but he had already detained the firearms battalion, and if Guo Ye was transferred to Chengde, what would happen to the monk Lingqin in front? Without Guo Ye's help, Xianfeng couldn't believe that he could stop the strong Anglo-French army just by relying on Seng Lingqin, although his own safety was important, but Beijing City could not afford to lose, once Beijing City fell, it would shake the Manchu Dynasty.
Xianfeng didn't speak, Lan Guiren saw that the emperor had some intentions, and then said: "Your Majesty, if it is really when Guo Ye first entered the customs, the war is urgent, but it is not appropriate for us to transfer Guo Ye to accompany him, but now that the monk has defeated the foreigners several times in a row, the foreigners are only afraid that they have been greatly injured, and the concubines want to use the current strength of the monk king, they should be able to resist the foreigners, if they do a good job, it is not impossible to defeat them and drive them back to the sea......"
When Xianfeng heard this, his heart was shocked, this is reasonable, Xianfeng muttered: "This matter, wait for me to ask the opinions of Su Shun and others before deciding ......"
When Xianfeng said the words to Su Shun, Su Shun was also quite moved, not worried about Xianfeng's safety, but during this time, the relationship with Guo Ye has not been very harmonious, and he was taken advantage of by Gong Lao Liu, and he was never allowed to get close to Guo Ye, he was really a little unwilling, and he was able to completely pull Guo Ye into his camp, I have to say that Xianfeng's opinion is an excellent opportunity!
