Compared with the difficulties of the Western Route Army, the advance of the Eastern Route Army was much faster, with Nanjing and Shanghai as the points, and it was in full bloom to the north, west and south. The 1st Division marched north at Nanjing on June 1, Chuzhou at the 2nd Division, and Fengyang Bengbu at the 4th Division, followed by two brigades to attack Gaoyou Hongze to the sea. The 1st Brigade attacked Huainan and Fuyang to the west. The 10th Division went west to take Hefei, and at this time, Tao Shu, the governor of Liangjiang, who fled from Nanjing to Hefei, was killed by the sniper of the 10th Division at the head of the city.

Hefei is in a strategic position, known as "Huai's right throat, Jiangnan lips and teeth", and has always been a place for soldiers. During the Three Kingdoms period, Wei and Wu fought in Hefei for 32 years. In 215 A.D., Zhang Liao led 800 Jingrui to defeat the 100,000 army of Eastern Wu, Sun Quan rode a horse to jump across the Xijin Bridge, and fled in the wilderness, the 67th image of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms depicts "retreating with a whip and riding a horse, and the jade dragon flies on Xiaoyaojin", which is the famous "Zhang Liaowei Zhen Xiaoyaojin" in history. As the hometown of the Three Kingdoms, Hefei remains the ancient crossbow platform of Cao Cāo coach 500 crossbowmen, and the ruins of the "Three Kingdoms New Town" built by Wei General Manzhong, so far there are moving legends such as Hu Bingtang, Tibetan Zhoupu, and Zhengdipu.

June 2, broken Hefei.

The southward movement of the 14th and 16th Divisions was also very smooth.

June 3, broken Hangzhou.

On June 5, the Jiujiang River was broken

By November, the 200,000-strong army had basically captured a small part of Shanghai, Zhejiang, Fujian, most of Anhui, southern Jiangsu, Guangxi, and Guizhou.

Subsequently, Lin Hongyou urgently recruited 12 army divisions, totaling about 240,000, into battle.

Relying on the huge superiority of military equipment and tactical level, the Imperial Army swept along the way, and swept away the leaves of the attack, invincible.

During the attack on Changsha, he encountered stubborn resistance from Lin Zexu, who was the governor of Huguang at this time. Lin Zexu is a politician, thinker and poet in the late Qing Dynasty of China, also known as Yuanfu, also known as Shaomu and Shilin, the old man of Tongcun Village, and the resident of Bottlequan, etc., a Houguan of Fujian Province (now a native of Minhou County, Fuzhou City), and a politician, thinker and poet in the late Qing Dynasty of China. He served as the governor of Huguang, Shaanxi and Gansu, and Yunnan and Guizhou, and was twice appointed as the minister of Qincha. On September 20, 1838, the governor of Huguang, Lin Zexu and Chen, strictly banned the consumption of opium. On June 3, 1839, Lin Zexu Humen smoked gunpowder. Because of his advocacy of strictly prohibiting opium, resisting Western aggression, and persisting in safeguarding China's sovereignty and national interests, he is deeply admired by Chinese all over the world, and historians call him "the first person to open his eyes to the world" in modern China. He knew that it would be difficult to stop the southern thief artillery and fast guns, so he led the green battalion to fight with our emperor's ** team with sneak attacks and tired enemy techniques, which seriously hindered the offensive of our army. With the arrival of our imperial reinforcements and the arrival of local inspectors and propagandists, Lin Zexu finally had to lead his Qing army to retreat north.

Lin Zexu sighed when crossing the Huai River: "It's a service, flying to urge the war, the rest of the thieves have a trail first, the victory or defeat may not be unknowable, but the people have no intention, they will have no intention, and the victory or defeat can be known." ”

1833, around June.

The emperor's ** team basically recovered the area south of the first line of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains.

In July, the Xizàng Front Army, consisting of the 2nd, 29th, and 31st Divisions of the Empire, was forcibly stationed in Xizàng.

Since the 7th Panchen Tanbai Nyima of Xizàng was enthroned, it was the Qing Dynasty that the Zhongyāng regime reached its heyday of rule over the Xizàng region. However, the Xizàng place began to be invaded by foreign forces, the Gurkha invaded Xizàng twice, looting the Tashilhunpo Monastery, the Gurkha people were looting in the Tashilhunpo Monastery when the emperor ** team was stationed, the emperor ** team repelled the Gurkha people in one fell swoop, and gradually controlled the power of Xizàng.

On August 20, the arriving governor of Xizàng, Danba, had a secret conversation with the 7th Panchen Lama in the Potala Palace, when the 10th ** Lama Chuchen Gyatso had not yet taken office. After an afternoon of secret talks, the Panchen agreed to the decision put forward by the empire to retain the status of the Panchen and ** in the religious field, but to transfer the executive, legislative, judicial and other state powers to zhèngfu.

At the beginning of September, the Xizàng nobles rebelled, but the rebellion was not supported by the two Living Buddhas (both under imperial control). Soon the rebellion was put down and the reforms were carried out smoothly in Xizàng.

In the north, the imperial army held the line of the Huai River in the Qinling Mountains, and in the southwest, the empire marched in Bhutan, Sikkim, Nepal, and Dibrugarh in the name of surveying and determining the borders.

In April 1834, the empire attacked Sikkim and other places in Bhutan under the pretext that the Gurkha were attacking I.

In 1834, on June 2, the Pioneer Duli Regiment of the Second Division of the Imperial Army occupied Gangtok.

On June 15, the empire occupied Darjeeling. Dong Ri Road occupies Thimphu.

October 3, 1835. By bribing the British newspapers to control public opinion, the Chinese Empire and the British Empire reached a rapprochement on the northern border of India, and the Chinese Empire had territorial sovereignty over the land north of the line from the source of the Brahmaputra River to the small town of Tispur on its northern bank to Majbad, and the British were allowed to enter the interior directly in addition to huge cash compensation, and the empire fully opened its market to the British, which was very important to Britain at that time, and a vast market attracted capitalists from all over the country. Of course, to the disappointment of the British, their goods were neither as good as the Empire nor as cheap as the Empire. The British lost a lot of money on this deal. Of course, that's all for later.

Now, on October 1, 1833, His Majesty Lin Hong, the Great Emperor of the Great Chinese Empire, rode a high-headed horse in the limelight, wearing the emperor's uniform, and entered Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, under the guidance of the Praetorian Guard, and began to make preparations for moving the capital in 1831.

Shanghai, Guangzhou and Hong Kong can be said to be the achievements of Lin Hong's key planning, asphalt roads, cement buildings. Modernize, oh no! The speed of modernization has made Lin Hong dizzy. And when the ambassadors of major European countries were stationed in the embassies of Hong Kong and Shanghai, they felt like hillbillies in the city, which directly led to a huge increase in the export volume of imperial cement.

In fact, Nanjing is only a temporary capital, and Běijing is the most suitable location for zhèngfu.

Under the gaze of ambassadors from various countries and the people of Jinling, Lin Hong worshiped Yan Huang and Qi Wugu

And the national reform has also been vigorously launched, cracking down on local tyrants, dividing land, punishing corrupt officials, and overturning old cases.

běijing――

"The thieves in the south have already defeated half of my Qing Dynasty, and the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty only know how to kowtow vigorously and admit their mistakes and admit that they are incompetent. What kind of loyal and brave people are you, saying that you are full of nylon, it is all straw, I should really learn from the pre-school and fill your stomachs with grass. "Emperor Daoguang is scolding his ministers in the main hall.

"The emperor is angry, and the ministers think that only by training a new army can they fight the southern thieves." Mu Zhang'a came out of the line.

"The south is a land of taxes and grain, and now where is the money and grain in the imperial court to raise new troops." Daoguang said decadently.

"The emperor has no choice but to pay new taxes for today's plan."

"Never give it is the ancestral precept of the Holy Ancestor Emperor!"

"Your Majesty, the southern thieves are powerful and strong, and the Eight Banners Green Battalion are invincible, if you don't train the new army, I'm afraid that the country is in danger!" Zaiquan continued.

"Then let's add it!" Daoguang shook his head helplessly, thought about it and said.

"The minister asked Song Yishan to be the commander of the new army, he had fought with the southern thieves in Guangzhou, and was defeated and retreated due to the disparity in strength, and he was defeated and fought repeatedly all the way to the north, which shows that he is loyal to our dynasty and can be used by soldiers." Mu Zhang'a hurriedly stepped out and said.

"Accurate!" Daoguang thought for a moment.

Zaiquan glanced at Mu Zhang'a meaningfully, regretting that he was a step slower.
