The Wuying Hall in the Forbidden City is now the temporary office of Duanhua and Guiliang.
When Yixin carried Zaiyuan, Seng Greenqin and others on his back, and went to the other end of his worries in front of Duanhua and Gui Liang, Gui Liang suddenly looked at him with wide eyes, and Duanhua shook his head non-stop.
"I said, Sixth Master, your suspicions are really too heavy. I won't believe it if I kill a bandit. Duanhua's face turned red, and he waved his two hands vigorously, "Think about it, he is an upright prince of our Qing Dynasty, who wants to be famous, powerful, and a bandit?" Will he get something better than this? ”
"It's hard to say...... Yixin sighed helplessly, "The wall is down, everyone is pushing, the drum is broken, and ten thousand people are hammering, who can guarantee that there will not be two hearts in the current crisis situation?" Besides, isn't there one of the negotiating conditions that they have always insisted on, as long as their terms are accepted, then between me, you, and Zaiwon, there can be one person who will be the vice chairman of the national command committee after peace. Is this temptation still small? ”
"You ......" Duanhua looked at Yixin deadly, and was so angry that he opened his mouth for a while. He once knew about this clause proposed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but he quickly forgot about it, since everyone was unwilling to accept this humiliation of "raising their hands and surrendering", what was the use of remembering it. But what he didn't expect was that Yixin remembered this matter so firmly. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of spit, "Although King Yi didn't talk to us in advance, he always thought about our own net worth and life, and it was also out of helplessness. If you suspect that he is that kind of person because of this, then I have to ask, what is Li Hongzhang? He privately ordered his Li Jiajun to take abnormal means to deal with the soldiers and horses of Lin Kui, Mianxun and others at the appropriate time, provoke infighting, and directly lead the betrayal of Wendele Kexi and others. ”
"King Zheng, you're a little too ......" Yixin shook his head at the excited Duanhua, "Li Hongzhang is the one who is for Changchun Garden, this is the ......"
"Then why don't you think that King Yi is completely for your sixth master?"
"I used to think so." Under Duanhua's "nonsense", Yixin also became excited, "But the problem is that according to Zaiyuan's construction, we almost hollowed out the army in front and indirectly helped them who were in the limelight. Once the combined forces of northern Henan and northern Shandong are completely wiped out, what else can we do? Alas...... Lips and teeth are cold, lips and teeth are cold, ......"
"I don't have as much ink work as you, and I don't want to say much about it." Duanhua waved his hand, "Don't hide it from your sixth master, it is this prince who ordered to cut off the retreat of the Russians in front, and it is also this prince who ordered the Russians to watch the Russians entangle with the rebels in front and turn a deaf ear." Because I only know one thing is true, if it happens, I don't need those lips to break first, I'm afraid that our teeth will be unlucky. What's the matter, your sixth master won't suspect me of anything, right, I haven't been in contact with them? ”
King Zheng said with a smile. Gui Liang is Yixin's father-in-law in the end, and when he saw that the two powerful princes were about to enter a stalemate, he hurriedly stood up at the critical moment to play a round for his uncle, "The situation is confused, in fact, ...... In fact, it is never a bad thing to think about it deeply. ”
He looked at Yixin, "The old man understands that the king of Yizheng still doesn't believe that the Russians will break their promise, and then pick the lead to support the one in Changchun Garden." Moreover, if the Russians have no such intention in the first place, then, because we are now unable to save ourselves from death, it is bound to give the Russians the truth and force the Russians to make the choice of abandoning us. As he spoke, he let out a long sigh, "Actually...... In fact, in the old man's humble opinion, the matter has come to an end, no matter who wins and who loses in the end, this king of parliament will be like stepping into the abyss with one foot if he continues to be in office. ”
He looked at Duanhua again and smiled bitterly, "There is nothing wrong with what King Zheng and King Yi are worried about, to put it mildly, if we all fall into the hands of Nanbian'er, although we are all lost, there is no wealth and nobility, there is always hope that we can leave a life." But if it gets into the hands of that woman, alas...... It's hard to say......"
At this moment, an urgent cry for an audience came from outside the closed temple door.
Gui Liang took an emergency military report sent in by the Ministry of War, and simply swept his eyes, his face suddenly turned pale, and he hurriedly handed the report to Yixin, while his mouth gasped again and again, "It's amazing...... It's amazing......"
What's going on? Duanhua looked at Gui Liang's surprised appearance, and hurriedly came to Yixin's side, and the more he looked, the bigger his eyes became.
This report is from Feng Jingni, the governor of Shaanxi Province, who has been nesting in Yulin.
According to the report, after Jiren Wu was crushed by the Taiping Red Army, Bai Yanhu, the only remaining backbone of the Shaanxi Rebellion, was unable to resist the powerful offensive of the Taiping Red Army after Huanxian alone for a month, and Huanxian was broken, and Bai Yanhu had to be defeated and walked away.
None of the rescue soldiers and horses that Bai Yanhu was looking forward to in Huanxian County really saw the county seat of Huanxian County, and they were all lost on the way. Without rescuers, he couldn't wait for the help of grain and grass, and Bai Yanhu, who had consumed half of his soldiers and horses in the useless defensive battle of Huanxian, gave up Huanxian in order to preserve his vitality in order to make a comeback.
Huang Zaixing, who got Huanxian County, of course knew very well in his heart that Bai Yanhu was forced to take the initiative to retreat, and there were nearly 10,000 people who followed Bai Yanhu to withdraw from Huanxian County, and there were many backbone elements of the rebellion. Therefore, after Huang Zaixing captured Huanxian, he also did not stop, and began to chase after Bai Yanhu who was fleeing, not giving the remnants of the army any chance to repair.
After Bai Yanhu's remnants fled along the Huanshui River for a hundred and ten miles from Huanxian County, they seemed to feel a little away from the chasing soldiers who were chasing after them. Bai Yanhu wanted to take advantage of this rare opportunity to quickly ask his sleepy and hungry subordinates to hurry up and take a nap, at least to recover and deal with the future eventuality.
The wolves didn't dare to make even a little fire, so they devoured some of the dry food they brought with them in the cold water of the Huanshui River. Unexpectedly, as soon as they fell asleep, Zhu Xikun and Zou Guojian led the westward march from the Dingbian area, and the main forces of the two armies, the Red Second and Red Fourteenth Armies of Jinjibao in Lingzhou, which were originally directed at Gansu to look back at Ma Hualong's old nest, suddenly appeared here and outflanked them head-on. As soon as the Red Second and Red Fourteenth Armies in front of them started, Huang Zaixing, who deliberately created an illusion of distancing Bai Yanhu, also immediately waved his army around Bai Yanhu's buttocks.
It was another bloody battle in the mountains and fields, and it was a great battle with a huge disparity in strength. The main force of the 50,000 Celestial Dynasty Red Army surrounded the remnants of the Shaanxi Hui Rebellion, which were less than 10,000. As dawn approaches, the earth will be calm in the hustle and bustle......
Yixin's hand holding Feng Jingni's report trembled a little.
At the same time that Huang Zaixing in the north annihilated Bai Yanhu's Shaanxi Hui, the Celestial Empire army under the command of Lai Hanying in the south went out of Guyuan and went down to the Yan Tea Hall (now Haiyuan County), and then gathered at Tongxin Fort, which was a central point of the Gansu Rebellion, and soon fell into the hands of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire. After that, the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, which always seemed to be not tired, was even more intense, Huang Zaixing's North Road Army was directed at Lingzhou, and Lai Hanying's South Road Army swooped down on the central defense. When hundreds of thousands of Red Army of the Celestial Dynasty approached the city of Ningxia Mansion together, and successively took the southern barriers of Ningxia Mansion, such as Jinjibao, Lingzhou Title, and Wuzhong Fort, which were the "land of the dragon's birth" of Ma Hualong, Ma Hualong finally had to bow his head and accept the request of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire to transfer Ningxia Mansion peacefully. The so-called Muslim kingdom of Ningxia, which had survived for less than two months, was shattered.
"Alas...... The front door rejects the tiger, and the back door has to prevent wolves, and then ......" Yixin only saw this, and couldn't help but look up to the sky with a mournful sigh, there were obvious tears flashing in his eyes, and the newspaper in his hand fell to the ground.
Duanhua picked up the report that had fallen on the ground and continued to look down.
Perhaps in order to get rid of his own guilt, Feng Jingni did not mention himself until the end. Feng Jingni said that Yulin Mansion is really remote, not to mention that the order only affected a few counties, and there was no tax payment, and the imperial court's salary was not allocated for a long time, and the officers and soldiers complained. At this juncture, the two armies of Qin Dingsan and Zheng Kuishi, the two commanders of the army, fought each other because of the wealth of the counties where they were stationed and the difficulty of raising troops. This situation was precisely taken advantage of by the Taiping Red Army, "the thieves took advantage of the gap to attack the camp, and then the rout, and the ministers fought to the death, but had to retreat beyond the Great Wall......"
Finished! Duanhua shook the report in his hand, and then looked at the desolate Yi Xin, it was really over! I want to occupy such a big territory in the Ming Kingdom back then, but now in addition to half of Shanxi, there is also a temporary majority of Hebei, and there is not much left.
Duanhua sighed a few times, "Sixth Master, what will I do in the future?" ”
"Let's go...... Yi Xin, who walked towards the door of the hall, had a gloomy face and a hoarse voice, "Alas...... Bump into Zaiyuan, Monk Greenqin and others, and then discuss and discuss......"
