After returning to the Supreme Command, Lin Haijiang returned to his room without a sound, and only ordered someone to find Wang Faren, the head of the headquarters of the Intelligence Department, to come, Lin Haijiang, who was very tired, wanted to sleep at the moment, but he couldn't sleep, and there were still fifteen hours before the general attack began, but his inspection found out rat feces like Huang Biao and Ma Wencai, how bad is this pot of soup in the empire? Lin Haijiang has no bottom in his heart at the moment, there are people under his nose who dare to do this, how much truth can he see? And how many people are deliberately deceiving themselves? Lin Haijiang knew that he really underestimated the corrosive and penetrating power of greed on people, and due to the rapid expansion of the empire, he stabilized the local situation as soon as possible in the case of insufficient talent reserves, and was forced to use a group of local people, among whom there are indeed elites who are dedicated to serving the people, such as the consul Xi Gaotang in Jiangxi, but there are also Huang Biao, Ma Wencai and others.

The harm of Huang Biao, Ma Wencai and others is too great, if they don't find out in time, just a few of them can destroy the entire overall implementation policy of the empire's civil affairs, it will be a loss of people's hearts! Before the country was reunified, it began to lose the hearts and minds of the people? Lin Haijiang didn't dare to imagine the serious consequences!

Soon, Wang Faren came to Lin Haijiang's lounge, looking at Wang Faren, who was also a little tired, Lin Haijiang knew that the burden on the shoulders of his intelligence minister was not light, but it was a matter of life and death in the empire, so Lin Haijiang assigned a task to Wang Faren, that is, to dispatch capable personnel to immediately form an anti-corruption investigation agency, and the operation was coordinated by armed gendarmerie special forces, and Lin Haijiang wanted to blow a storm of clean government in the entire empire!

At dawn on May 27, 1863, the various army corps of the Chinese Imperial Army began to attack the occupied areas of the Qing court in accordance with the plan formulated by the General Staff. Originally, the artillery fire prepared by the various units was useless, and a large number of artillery shells transported forward became part of the huge pressure on the logistics of each regiment, Lin Haijiang looked at the battle process of the Seventh Route Army marched by the General Staff, and according to the basic training syllabus of the Imperial Army, his troops were not fighting, but marching!

In just one day, they advanced an average of 40 kilometers, and the Qing army and militia were as many as 60,000 people who were captured and disarmed, and Lin Haijiang knew that it was absolutely impossible for the Qing court to put all their last so-called elites in Shandong and Henan against him, and the Qing court would definitely use some big cities in Jinan, Zhengzhou, and Xuzhou to prepare for reinforcements, and once one of them successfully defended, then the Qing court would see the opportunity to send all its military forces to try to make a final desperate resistance.

There seemed to be no doubt about the main battlefield in the front, Lin Haijiang's mind suddenly relaxed a lot, with his own elite to the point that even the Germans had to send people to learn from the training experience of the Imperial Army, equipped with the world's best weapons and equipment, first-class soldiers, first-class equipment, second-rate command, second-rate tactics, if he had to fight the Qing court in one fell swoop, then he should really hit his head against the wall.

However, the two legions of the mountain infantry entering Sichuan and the two army corps entering Shaanxi are still on the march, and have not yet encountered the enemy, Lin Haijiang is most worried about the troops entering Sichuan, the road conditions in Sichuan can be described as very poor, and the local people are more united and the people are fierce, Sichuan Governor Zhao Xueli and Governor Wang He are the so-called relied on by the Qing court, especially the Sichuan Governor Zhao Xueli is said to be proficient in the military called Xiao Zhuge .

However, in the face of the absolute military power of the Chinese Empire, Lin Haijiang did not believe that Zhao Xueli, the governor of Sichuan, could make any waves, and behind his two mountain infantry corps were more than 300,000 soldiers of the production and construction corps and 30,000 garrisons drawn from the local government, but on the whole it will still go smoothly.

It is imperative to recover Lin Haijiang in Sichuan, the collapse of the Qing army on the main battlefield has relaxed Lin Haijiang's originally tense nerves, it seems that he was too nervous before, he has nearly a million regular troops and garrison troops, more than 1.5 million reserve troops that have undergone preliminary training, and the world's largest naval fleet in tonnage, at this moment the main fleet of the imperial navy has been assembled in the port of Guangzhou, and the six brigades of the Marine Corps have made final preparations before the landing on the beach in Guangzhou. And the two brigades of the Marine Corps that went to Yucheng have also boarded ships in batches with the cooperation of the gunboat corps and sailed up the river against the current! This is the battle of liberation that will be remembered by history, and Lin Haijiang has realized that he seems to have created a precedent! A great empire that has never been seen before in history is rising in the East with lightning speed.

The rise of the Chinese Empire seems to anticipate another comprehensive rejuvenation of the Chinese nation! For Lin Haijiang, the dream of the Tang and Han territories seems to be one step closer!

After the training of the previous battles, the strategic and tactical staff operations of the Imperial General Staff have become more and more accurate, after the start of this campaign, Lin Haijiang's only job is to read the battle report intelligence summary and campaign deduction, Lin Haijiang imagined that he would always pay attention to the process of the campaign The thing did not happen, it can be said that with the accumulation of experience of the personnel of the relevant functional departments of the empire, he can seem to be more and more relaxed as the head of the empire?

Lin Haijiang, who was almost reduced to idleness in Nanjing's Supreme Command, suddenly began to care about Nanjing's infrastructure, such as the Imperial Administrative Center Building, the Imperial Consulate Building, the Imperial General Staff, the War Department, the Navy Department, the General Scientific Research Administration, the Ministry of Industry, and other related departments, It seems that it is time for me to spend a few days and breathe in the air without gunsmoke?

Out of his own selfishness, Lin Haijiang has not approved the so-called official notice of the empire prohibiting concubines, but Lin Haijiang issued a supplementary explanation on marriage through the Imperial Ministry of Justice, that is, wives and concubines enjoy the same rights, such as inheritance rights, the concubine is one-half of the main wife, etc., etc., especially indicating that the concubine can also divorce and leave the husband's power, and strictly buy and sell, concubines also have to pay a large amount of taxes to all parts of the empire, Lin Haijiang set this tax to the threshold of 10,000 imperial silver dollars, It is to tell those so-called people who are ready to take concubines that they can't afford to pay the price and honestly implement monogamy, Lin Haijiang also knows that he can't be too radical on this issue, and now the social system has not yet been initially stabilized, and any unstable factors may lead to a large-scale chaos, and he can't set an example at this stage, so there is no need to only allow the governor to set fire to the people and not allow the people to light the lamp.

With the onslaught of the Chinese Empire's armies from all walks of life, the Qing army fled one after another, and there was not even a place to resist resolutely, the second army was strategically charged to Xuzhou, and the first army formed a joint encirclement of Jinan, and the governor Xie Jinguang saw that things were not good, and fled with his concubine and fine soft in the morning, and the whole city of Jinan fell into chaos.

And in the Forbidden City of Yanjing, Prince Gong Yixin is reporting to the Empress Dowager of the two palaces with Monk Greenqin, Cixi and Ci'an are also deeply in a panic at this moment, the onslaught of the Chinese Empire's armies from all walks of life makes the urgent reports fly to Gyeonggi like snowflakes, often the last place of the report to the military aircraft, the next place of the report comes one after another, the speed of the fall is almost shocking, the military aircraft department has been completely paralyzed, in the past, the Yangyi invasion moved to Chengde and Xi'an is also a good way, But Shaanxi has already appeared in the Chinese Imperial army to conquer the city, so Xi'an is absolutely impossible to go, so today Ci'an and Cixi will Yixin and Monk Greenqin to find a specific solution, as Lin Haijiang said, they are too unwilling to abdicate.

In the smoky Antai Palace, Yi Xin looked at the monk Grinqin whose hair was almost all silver, and looked at the emaciated emaciated queen mother of the two palaces, since the war began on May 27, 1863, the Qing Dynasty suffered a fatal blow from the other party again and again, the newly recruited forbidden army almost fell in the wind, the children of the Eight Banners ran faster than rabbits, the officials ran away, the soldiers surrendered, and now in addition to the 80,000 new troops in the hands of Seng Greenqin, the Qing Dynasty has no more usable soldiers? The Mongol tribes, which had already seen that something was wrong, also refused to send cavalry to King Gyeonggi, and the Qing Dynasty seemed to be fluttering in the wind and rain to the point of crumbling.

Yixin hesitated for a moment, looked at the expressionless monk Greenqin and said: "At present, the minister thinks that this land of Gyeonggi can never stay, the two towns of the Beiyang old foundation taken over by the monk king plus the six towns of the Beiyang reserve army, now there are ten towns, but these forces still can't allow us to have a decisive battle with Lin rebels, this monk knows better than me, and Lin rebels are best at the so-called landing, Dagu Kou let him break through three times, if this time its sea and land coordinated attack, The supply of my army will be cut off by the marines who come from the coast, and then our army will collapse without a fight, so the minister thinks that the queen mother of the two palaces should immediately prepare to withdraw to Shengjing, and the monk and the king concentrate all their forces to defend the first line of Shanhaiguan, and the Russians still have more than 300,000 people in Heilongjiang, and the minister is trying to find a way to involve them all, at that time we can still have a slight chance of winning, if the emperor and the queen mother of the two palaces have an accident, then my Qing Dynasty is really doomed! ”

Yixin's words made Ci'an and Cixi fight a cold war, in fact, these days they have packed all the valuable treasures in the palace and shipped them to Shengjing, Yanjing is not a place to stay for a long time They also know very well, but they can't leave directly without a sound, in the form must go through the repeated persuasion of the courtiers, after all, the Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for more than 200 years, and this time they retreated to the outside of the customs again, I don't know what year and month they can return to Yanjing and Jiangnan! Sadness is sadness, unwilling to return, but now it has become a settlement, and it seems that there is only one route to retreat outside the customs that is the safest.

Monk Greenqin also hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed helplessly and said: "What Prince Gong said is exactly what the old man and I think, Lin Rebellion's army is huge, even if the Russians send troops, what can they do?" When did the traitor Lin Haijiang ever fear the Russians? Isn't the 200,000 army of the Russians equally wiped out? That's a sturdy army of a hundred battles! It's not comparable to the Russian army now in Yilan and other places, so I think that the Empress Dowager of the Two Palaces should listen to Prince Gong's words and immediately withdraw from Gyeonggi to Shengjing, and the minister will lead a heavy army to gather at Shanhaiguan to resist the thieves! ”

Monk Lingqin's words made Cixi and Ci'an's hearts relax violently, but they immediately became entangled again, they relaxed that they could safely withdraw to Shengjing, where is the world of the Qing Dynasty, but what they are entangled with is that the Gyeonggi Heavy Land is going to give up so in vain? The Forbidden City, the Old Summer Palace, those pavilions and pavilions, and most importantly, the mausoleums of the previous emperors are still there, and these can't be moved!

Outside the noon gate, Yixin stopped Monk Greenqin's carriage, one sat in a sedan chair and one was originally riding a horse, but the age was unforgiving, and Wuhan was exhausted, so Monk Greenqin has been changed to take the carriage for a long time, in the carriage of Monk Greenqin, Yixin sat opposite to it, and was silent for a while, Yixin said to Monk Greenqin: "Is there really no way?" Even if it is to guard the Shanhaiguan, our Daqing Dynasty originally came from outside the customs, and now it is normal to return to the customs. ”

Monk Greenqin rubbed his hands and said helplessly: "I'm afraid it's not you and me who can have the final say if you don't go back to Guanwai!" That depends on Lin Haijiang, the traitor, who claimed that Shengjing was an inseparable part of China's sacred territory very early, and what Han and Tang territories should be restored, people not only want the rivers and mountains of the Qing Dynasty, but also reach out, haven't the Russians been thinking about our land? It's okay now, Lin Haijiang has already thought about them, it turns out that I always thought that this Lin Haijiang was just arrogant and boundless, but now it seems that I was wrong! And again, it couldn't be more wrong! This person dares to think and dare to do it, and his ambition is so big that people shudder! Lin Haijiang will not leave us a place to stand in the Qing Dynasty at all, and you Prince Gong probably knows this better than me, right? ”

Yixin nodded helplessly and said: "If Lin Haijiang really pushes us to be anxious, it is great to give Heilongjiang directly to the Russians, haven't the Russians always forced the imperial court to admit the status quo?" Then let's follow his wishes and let the Russians and Lin Haijiang fight to the death! ”

Monk Lingqin looked at Yixin's somewhat distorted face, and said cautiously: "This one is a fierce tiger and a leopard, and the other is a greedy bear, to say something unkind!" Gong Wangye, your trick is tantamount to playing with fire! No matter who wins, it is impossible for our Qing Dynasty to live, whether it is the Russians or Lin Haijiang, they may not even give us the bones and slag left, then we will be crushed and scattered! ”

Yixin looked at Monk Lingqin and said, "Then what do you say?" My Qing Dynasty is already poor in donkey skills now, and to deal with those tigers and wolves in the Chinese Empire in Lin Haijiang, if you want silver or no silver, you want a sample gun without a foreign gun, what should we do to fight with them? Now it is said that the Guangzhou side has begun to build a giant ship that Westerners have never seen, which is twice as large as the Zhenyuan class that shelled Dagukou, I wonder, where did Lin Cheng get so much silver? When we control the entire country in the Qing Dynasty, we can't afford to build it even if we don't eat or drink! ”

Seng Greenqin glanced at Yixin, and wondered in his heart if this Prince Gong really didn't know if he was still sloppy with himself here? So he didn't say politely directly: "Let's Daqing?" How much money does the Ministry of Internal Affairs cost a year? There are four big sons outside a chicken (egg), and the Internal Affairs Office will cost three or three pieces of silver to buy into the palace, how many hardcore crops do we have? How much is left after the taxes paid in various places after the fire consumption? The officials and governors in various places have tried their best to dig up money and find silver, and the taxes of the Qing Dynasty have been embezzled by them as much as forty percent, and our Qing Dynasty has been ruined in the hands of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials! Now it is their gang of people who are descending from the wind, I really don't know where the iron loyalty of these civil and military generals is? ”

Yixin and Monk Greenqin scolded the literati for their shamelessness and corrupt officials for a long time, forgetting that they were also one of them, and they were also the masters of every greedy ink.

The two discussed for a while, and Seng Greenqin was extremely shocked that Yixin wanted to withdraw the imperial court from Shengjing to the Mongolian steppe, and then make the entire Guanwai a battlefield for the decisive battle between the Russians and the Chinese Empire in Lin Haijiang.

After hesitating for a while, Monk Greenqin suddenly asked Yixin: "If Lin Wei agrees to cede Heilongjiang or even Jilin to the Russians, in my judgment, the Russians will definitely be willing to strike the army, in that case, we will be tantamount to stealing chickens and rice, it is better to try to defend the Shanhaiguan first, negotiate with the Russians, and let the Russians send troops on the condition of a lease from Heilongjiang, and the people's morale and morale will probably be wiped out as soon as the court retreats again and again!" ”

Yixin took a deep breath and said, "I'm also using a dead horse as a live horse doctor!" This is already a situation that can't be dead, if we stick to Shengjing, we can survive this winter is to burn high incense, if we retreat into the Mongolian steppe, we can still be around for a few years, maybe something will change during the period is not uneventful! ”
