Chapter 220: Advancing by Waterway (Part II)

Li Zhongju led the Zhenwu army to the north of Nanchang Province in Hubei Province, at this moment the Zhenwu army of more than 80,000 soldiers, towards the north, at this moment Li Zhongju has a feeling that the world I have, Li Zhongju believes that he will be able to break through the city of Beijing this time, at that time the Manchu rule over the Chinese nation will be completely ended, there is no possibility of continuing to exist. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

When the Zhenwu army entered the third day, when the army was only five miles away from the capital of Wuchang Mansion in Hubei Province, Li Zhongju and others found that a Manchu official dressed in Zheng Erpin led dozens of people out of the city and walked towards Li Zhongju and the army.

Li Zhongju ordered the army to stop advancing, and the army quickly stopped in an instant, Li Zhongju and others looked at this Manchu Zheng Erpin officer, and instantly guessed that this was the governor of Hubei Province.

The pigtailed official rode to Li Zhongju and the others, and said to Li Zhongju, "Excuse me, are you Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan?" ”

Li Zhongju raised his head and stared at the governor of Hubei tightly, and at the same time Li Zhongju dismounted, "This king is Li Zhongju, you are the governor of Hubei?" ”

The pigtail official immediately knelt down, "Hubei Governor Gao Lan sees the prince, we in Hubei are willing to surrender, I hope the prince can accept it." ”

Li Zhongju laughed and said, "Of course it's no problem. Arise also. ”

Then the pigtailed officer stood up, "Thank you, Lord Xie." ”

Later, the pigtail officials presented the household registration and population of Hubei Province, and Li Zhongju also collected them all, which is a very important thing, and it also represents Hubei, and from then on Hubei will also be included in the rule of the king of Zhennan. King Zhennan's ruling territory has also increased a bit.

Li Zhongju's army also entered Wuchang City, and then the army passed through Wuchang City, which also entered the north of Hubei, and continued to advance from Hubei to the north. But before that, Li Zhongju must firmly hold Hubei Province in his hands before he can continue to send troops.

Ten days later, Li Zhongju dealt with everything in Hubei Province, and at the same time organized the army of Hubei Province, Li Zhongju had firmly grasped Hubei Province, so the next step was to continue to advance north. At the same time, Li Zhongju also transferred Li Yaoshan to take full charge of logistics affairs, especially the affairs of Hubei and Henan, which were about to attack.

Subsequently, Li Zhongju ordered the Zhenwu army to continue to advance northward, and this time Henan must be taken, which of course was not much difficult for Li Zhongju.

At the same time, the Qing court also received an urgent report of 800 miles, and the anti-thief Li Zhongju also took Hubei Province, and they were preparing to attack Henan Sheng, and then threaten the divine capital of Beijing.

The Empress Dowager Cixi looked at the officials standing below, and she was also sweating profusely, and at the same time, the Empress Dowager Cixi said loudly, "You all talk about it, what are you doing, everyone will hit the door immediately, what are you all doing?" What can you do? Kindness? Rise up and talk about it! ”

Prince Gong Yixin immediately said, "The Queen Mother, my emperor, and the minister are willing to lead a new army and enter Henan immediately, and the local thief Li Zhongju will continue to attack, please allow the Queen Mother and my emperor." ”

Empress Dowager Cixi nodded, "Yi Xin, you go, this time we must let the anti-thief Li Zhongju be severely punished, and we must not let Li Zhongju continue to be arrogant." ”

Prince Gong immediately assured, "The minister obeys the order, and the minister will definitely do it." ”

Later, the Empress Dowager Cixi announced that she would go to Fengtian City with the emperor tomorrow, and at the same time ordered Li Hongzhang to be in charge of handling court affairs. Of course, the ministers have no opinion,

And the navy led by Li Xiang is also sailing towards the north at an extremely fast speed, Li Xiang looked at the sea in front of him, the blue ocean, it is also very spectacular, Li Xiang is very careful to observe the sea, and his own fleet.

This huge navy was sailing on the sea, and it was really a time when it caused thousands of waves. Li Xiang has also been in contact with Li Zhongju, the king of Zhennan.

The navy continues to move forward, all of them have a dream, a desire to do their best, and the prince to create better conditions.

Li Zhongju led the army into Henan Province, except for the governor of one province who chose to surrender, the rest of the provinces also resisted, although their resistance appeared a little weak, but they also caused certain losses to Li Zhongju's Zhenwu army, which of course the Zhenwu army had to bear.

The speed of Li Zhongju's army in Henan has obviously decreased somewhat, but so what? As long as the army continues to advance, then everything is worth it, and this speed is a bit slow for Li Zhongju, but in the eyes of the enemy, it is also very frightening, and the speed of such an army is also very terrifying and amazing.

Kaifeng Mansion in Henan Province has been stationed in the Manchu army at this time, and there are 200,000 troops in Kaifeng Mansion at this time, of which 100,000 troops are the main army of the Manchu Eight Banners. The remaining 100,000 troops included the 30,000 new army of Prince Gong Yixin, the 20,000 army of Henan Province, and the 60,000 army from elsewhere, for a total of 200,000 troops.

Prince Gong Yixin was the commander-in-chief of the 200,000-strong army at this time, that is, the general of this army, commanding the 200,000-strong army, ready to meet Li Zhongju's army.

In Prince Gong's heart, their 200,000 army will definitely be able to block Li Zhongju's 80,000 army, hum! Li Zhongju has anything to brag about, this king will not be afraid of him at all, and at the same time, once this war is won, then he will be able to sit in that high position.

Prince Gong Yixin has always been unconvinced in his heart, why he is stronger than many people on the throne, why can't he sit in that position, gradually, Prince Gong Yixin also understands, it is because the old thief of Cixi wants to control the power, but this time Prince Gong Yixin is not afraid.

At this time, Prince Gong Yixin had an army of 200,000 in hand, and he felt that he had everything, and there was only one premise, that is, he could defeat Li Zhongju, otherwise everything would be empty and everything would be useless.

Prince Gong stood quietly at the south gate of Kaifeng City, looking south, Li Zhongju, this is the time for us to duel the male and female, I know that whoever wins will enter the top and become the real top of the ten thousand people, sitting in the highest position of the Forbidden City, in that case, there will be no regrets in his life.

There are more than a dozen people standing behind Prince Gong Yixin, all of whom are his cronies, although among the 100,000 troops of the Eight Banners of Manchuria, only the Zhengbai Banner and the Xianghong Banner are really loyal to him, but that is enough, because the strength of the Eight Banners is now outdated.

Prince Gong Yixin was also very optimistic to think, in fact, the Empress Dowager Cixi has always been very clear in her heart, if the Empress Dowager Cixi had no backhand, would she allow him to command so many troops?

That is to say, even if Prince Gong Yixin wins this time, he will not sit on the throne, although this seems to be the slightest possibility. (To be continued.) )
