Chapter 31: Daoguang Xu
As early as when Lin Hong moved the capital to Nanjing, Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty was ill, thinking about the mountains and rivers of the ancestors' great family business, he lost half of it, and what kind of face did he have to go to the ground to see the first emperor, for a while Daoguang stood at the door of the Yangxin Hall is chest tightness and shortness of breath, Daoguang just wanted to turn around and enter the palace, but he only felt that it was dark in front of him, and then he didn't feel it. For a while, the eunuch and palace maid next to him shouted loudly. Daoguang couldn't afford to be sick.
During these two years, all government affairs were handled by the Military Aircraft Department, and Daoguang was recuperating in the Old Summer Palace, but it never improved.
Since the news of the fall of Henan in the south of the general came, Daoguang, who had been recuperating from illness, was full of grief and indignation, Lin Zexu's death in battle and the rout of the thousand-mile defense line. Make Daoguang dizzy.
When Daoguang woke up again, it was already a day later, Daoguang knew that his limit was approaching, and the country was ruined and the family was weeping bitterly, and then summoned several auxiliary ministers.
Mu Zhang'a, Zaiquan, Du Han, Cao Zhenyong, and Duanhua were appointed as auxiliary ministers. The secret edict instructing the prince has been put away, and when he goes first, he must assist the new monarch well.
Subsequently, Daoguang fell into a coma.
Ten years later, Daoguang woke up for the last time, slurred, with tears in the corners of his eyes, looking at the holding prince Aixin Jueluo Yixu. Daoguang closed his eyes in indignation.
Historian Meng Sen believes: "The mediocrity of Xuanzong is also unprecedented since the Qing Dynasty entered the customs. This period is called "the middle decline of Jiadao".
"Qing History Manuscript": Xuanzong's virtue of frugality, the amount of generosity, and the order of keeping the success. Far away trade, provocation and prosperity. It regards the troubles of the previous generations of Rong Di and does not cover it. The ministers concerned first cut with CAO, and then with fear, so they left behind the worries of the night. The so-called king but no minister, can be obedient but not saved. The verge of national steps begins here. Woohoo,!
Daoguang was buried in the Qing Dynasty Mausoleum in the Western Mausoleum, the auxiliary minister decided not to mourn in the current situation, the secret temple number Xuanzong, the name of the temple is to serve the heavens, the Fu Yun Li Zhongti is to the Wensheng, Wu Zhiyong, benevolence, thrift, diligence, filial piety, and wide-
Jin Shaoguang walked quickly to Qin Han and saluted him.
Qin Han bowed his head lightly and asked, "What do you say about those two who threw over?" ”
"It's a civil official and his staff, the civil official's name is Li Xingyuan, he was the governor of Shaanxi, he worked with Wu Dashuai in Shaanxi back then, and his official reputation is not bad, but his mouth is full of nonsense about abandoning the dark and turning to the light, loyal to the Han family, but it is not as useful as his staff."
"Oh?" Qin Han wondered.
"That staff member is Li Wenlan, a talented man in the capital, who was not allowed to take the imperial examination because he offended the banner people, so he became Li Xingyuan's master. He spoke in an orderly manner, and although he was a literati, he explained the defense affairs of the capital very clearly, which was generally consistent with the information we had, and he was also exposed to new ideas, so he could be regarded as a usable talent. Jin Shaoguang stood there straight and introduced in detail.
Qin Han nodded, and asked again, "Are you sure it's not the enemy's special personnel?" ”
"Probably not, neither of them looks like they are working as a special agent, and we put them under house arrest, and we will wait for Beijing to take them down, and then consider their problems."
"You're doing a good job, Shaoguang. Now let's think about how to take Beijing down. The CIA came with news that Daoguang was dead! Qin Han laughed and waved the map in his hand.
Jin Shaoguang said seriously: "It's good to die, the timing of death is too good, when my army is in the city, the Qing army will have no intention of fighting, plus my emperor's ** team is invincible, invincible, Beijing is at your fingertips, and the trouble of tartar ringworm scabies will definitely be able to fight and draw." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and behind them was the marching scene of chariots and horses Xiao Xiao, a temporary requisitioned animal-powered cart, loaded with artillery of different calibers, accompanied by a squeaking sound, heading towards Beijing City.
While the 50,000 men of the Royal Army and Marines marched towards Beijing, the city of Beijing was a different scene.
At the beginning, the residents of Beijing City saw the uncles of the patrol camp running around the streets, and they didn't think anything about it, but they just thought that it was some kind of inspection or regular extortion. There is a saying that the small people in Beijing are one head taller than the officials of Jiupin County, not to mention how many people are related to the officials, just living at the foot of the imperial city is a glory, and this courage is much stronger.
It's just that as soon as the patrol camp was launched, it didn't stop, and more and more people who didn't usually see the uncle, or the master who carried the bird cage on the street in the flag camp, wore yellow, white, blue, and red cotton armor like a mourner, climbed the gates of the major city walls in Beijing in disheveled, and got into the bunkers one by one
"Lord Belle, what's going on? Today, the masters are all in armor, but the emperor wants to hunt, or is it a big ceremony? A businessman who was able to help a few bannermen with status because of his family background stopped a bannerman in white armor on the street, and relied on this bannerman to owe him a lot of silver, and asked straight what everyone wanted to ask.
A few generations ago, it is estimated that this flag Ding Zu was also a direct relative of the emperor, but it was only in his own generation that he became Baylor, but he was also noble, but he didn't learn and was good at losing, so he fell here.
Although this Baylor knew that the battalion had told him not to publicize the attack of the Southern Army, he couldn't control and couldn't change the problem of his big mouth, and when he saw an acquaintance, he complained: "What is such a good thing, this Nanban has come over!" Maybe it won't take a moment to get to Beijing City. In the previous room, this southern thief sneaked up on Dagukou, and stole the city of Tianjin, the soles of his feet were like wings, who knows how fast this group of grandsons can run, if I don't wear armor and arrows, who will protect you? ”
When everyone heard this, they were all shocked, and the businessman hurriedly made a move, and for a while, he actually relieved the tension of this Belle master, and posed as the number one general in the world, and accepted the salute safely.
Shang Jia hurriedly asked, "Lord Belle, this thief army is coming, why don't you go out of the city quickly to hide?" ”
Baylor's face turned blue and scolded: "Grandpa, I stood at the head of the city and was shot and cannoned, which white-eyed wolf dared to abandon the city for me?" ”
Shang Jia pulled him and whispered, "What about the emperor and the queen mother?" You can't just get stuck in Kyori, in case something goes wrong......"
"You think they're all stupid?! Yishan's kid don't look at the whole day, he is like a second child, no one in his eyes, the gang of new soldiers under his hands, there are a few catties and a few taels of grandfather, I have seen it, but the blue-clothed thief in the southern barbarians is not easy to think about, these years, this blue-clothed thief has seen battles repeatedly, you can see that he has been defeated for a while? I can't guard this capital, and our banner people can't say that we have to go back to the gates. It's just that the southern thief comes and goes like the wind, and he may be hiding somewhere now. In case as soon as the emperor and the queen mother leave the city, they will encounter a thief army, and there is no high city and wide walls, what can you do to stop it? If the thief army comes slowly, it is estimated that there will be no one in this Beijing city for a long time, and the only way to do this is to fight and see, hoping that after retreating from the enemy, we can take our flags back to Shengjing. ”
Shang Jia nodded again and again, and then he realized that he was a Han Chinese, so he had to say some polite words, and said: "Don't panic, Lord Belle, I saw that I was still there in the Qing Dynasty, and this southern thief can't say that he is here to show his might and scare you." This Nanban is unpopular, and sooner or later it will be over. ”
Baylor patted Shang Jia and said with satisfaction: "Yes, yes, you know how to advance and retreat." ”
The two politely exchanged words for a moment, and Shang Jia took his leave and left.
Shang Jia pulled his own family and said with a dark face: "What are you still stunned about, pack up the house, hurry up and get out of the city!" ”
As soon as his head fell, he said stupidly: "Master, did Lord Belle say that there is an ambush of thieves outside the city?" It's not good if you run into an enemy! ”
Shang Jia was so angry that he slapped the slap violently, gave this family a moment, and said angrily: "You idiot! This southern army is here to exterminate the Qing Dynasty and slaughter Manchurian, your lord and my whole family furniture are Han, what does it matter to me? ”
"But sir, if you are not afraid of the Southern Army, then why do you want to leave the city? Isn't it enough to wait for the southern army to take over Beijing? ”
"Idiot! Very foolish! As soon as this war is opened, the swords and guns have no eyes, especially the cannons flying sideways, who can guarantee that the cannons will not fall on your house? Or in case the battle of the Eight Banners is unfavorable, and the city is forcibly recruited to guard the city by men and women, then don't you give all your lives? The Eight Banners gang of bad gangsters can't fight, but the owner who keeps them has to take advantage of the indiscriminate burning, killing and looting, who can afford it? The more Shang Jia said, the more scared he became, and he didn't dare to stop for a while, so he hurriedly urged the family to go home and clean up.
Desheng Gate, the north of the Yellow Banner guard, to say that the combat effectiveness of the Yellow Flag is in the Eight Banners, it is not necessarily the strongest now, but the identity is the most respected. Most of the Zhenghuang Banner soldiers guarding the Desheng Gate did not have a shell or Baylor on their bodies, and they were embarrassed to greet their comrades. The prince and the king's house, there are still a few nests inside, everyone is a dish, just a few steps like this, and they are already exhausted to death, not to mention that they will have to fight the enemy for a while. What's more, which princes and Baylor's are all rumored in private that Lord Daoguang has gone, and the Qing Dynasty is not far from the country.
