At 4:20 a.m., Lin Haijiang quietly gathered all the men and horses at hand, because he had already realized that he could not drag it out, because the more he delayed, the more beneficial it would be for the bandits, and it would allow them to concentrate more rabble.

Although his own elite soldiers are powerful, once the ratio of quality and quantity exceeds the dangerous ratio of one to six, the quality will be overwhelmed by the quantity.

At this moment, Lin Haijiang didn't know that a telegram from him in the afternoon had made the entire Forbidden City sleepless tonight. Xianfeng, known as Ai Xinjueluo Yisu, the short-lived emperor who ascended the throne at the age of 20 and died of illness at the age of 31 after only 11 years of reign, is sitting on the dragon chair in the Qianqing Palace in a daze at the moment.

Jing Shou, Su Shun, and Duanhua, all of whom were important ministers who were said to be important to him, were all kneeling quietly in place at the moment and did not dare to gnaw, and all of this was triggered by a telegram transmitted by Yingyi.

Xianfeng was the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty to secretly establish a prince to inherit the throne, and he was called the "four no" emperor with no vision, no courage, no talent, and no action. Soon after he ascended the throne, there was a peasant uprising in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and then the Anglo-French alliance attacked Yanjing and burned the Old Summer Palace.

Xianfeng looked at the carved beam murals in the main hall with dull eyes and said miserably: "Since I inherited the unification, disasters and famines have continued, evil bandits have appeared frequently, and the good Qing Dynasty has been made by me with thousands of windows!" I ask myself, what's wrong with it? Do you want the whole world to ask for it? ”

The courtiers below who knelt with a sore back, a sore back and cramped legs, all looked empty, and some people even slandered this incompetent 205 emperor who would only complain.

Bao De, the chief administrator of the inner house beside Xianfeng, hurriedly reminded: "Your Majesty, let the ministers please get up first!" Prince Zheng and others are too old to withstand the toss! ”

Xianfeng suddenly realized, everyone who had been kneeling for a long time helped each other to get up, and Prince Zheng and the others cast a grateful look at Baode.

Xianfeng took the telegram sent by the British and said loudly: "This so-called telegram is just burying some wooden stakes and pulling a few lines, it is so convenient? The things of Tiannanhai and Haibei can be known in less than half a day, so why should you obstruct such a convenient thing? Now the news is sent by Yingyi? Are you ashamed? Are you still asking me to wait for the 800 miles to be expedited? ”

No one in the people below was sure, and finally the military machine Duanhua stood up and cleared his throat and said: "Back to the emperor, this telegraph line was proposed by Su Shun, and later you ordered it to stop because of the lack of silver to rebuild the Jingtai Palace, and the silver given to the foreigner telegraph company was insufficient, so the foreigner naturally left, and this matter was delayed." ”

Xianfeng, who was pointed out to Luo Guo in public, suddenly turned slightly red, and his forehead attacked the first-class Chengjia Yiyong Gong Jingshou and said: "The matter of repairing Jingtai Hall is for the selection of girls, and it is a major event of royal orthodoxy, benefiting the world, benefiting the people, and benefiting me in the Qing Dynasty!" ”

Xianfeng listened to Jing Shou's words of maintenance, nodded and asked, "How is this year's show girl chosen?" Why didn't I listen to the movement? When I finish choosing, I will send four to Yi Guiren, not eight! ”

Baode on the side reminded in a low voice: "Your Majesty, have you forgotten?" Now there are bandits in the south, and Jiangbei has suffered from floods and droughts, and this show girl will not be easy to choose for a while! ”

Yes? Xianfeng's eyes widened and he looked at Baode with an extremely surprised expression, as if the sky had fallen.

The imperial guard, the Su Shun fist of the household servant clenched loudly, strode out of the column and knelt on the ground with a sigh and said: "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that the urgency of the delay is to quickly come up with a way, the two lakes, the two rivers, and Anhui are all in a mess, and the two Guang can't be in chaos, and the minister impeached the Guangzhou general Mukedenne and the naval commander Halder escaped from the battle, and now a garrison officer leads the remnants to hold on to the rescue!" ”

Jing Shou glanced at Su Shun with his eyes, and then knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, is it too arbitrary to rely on just a so-called telegram from Yingyi now?" Mukdna was a retainer of the emperor when he was hiding in the dragon, and Halder was my Manchurian general, how could he dispose of a large man with a telegram from a small Han garrison? The minister thought it would be discussed after the situation was clear! ”

Su Shun still had to distinguish, Jing Shou glared at Su Shun and said: "A little squire doesn't want to interfere in the affairs of the court, can you afford to go wrong?" ”

Su Shun immediately replied: "I'm still the imperial guard, it's really not as hard as your forehead!" ”

You must know that the imperial guard was built in the early years of the Qing Dynasty Taizu, and with the continuous concentration, consolidation and development of the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty, the guard team as the emperor's close ministers is also growing and growing, and at the same time, the more and more detailed guard system has been established, and the guards have also been carefully divided into grades and prescribed quotas. The treatment of the emperor's guards was very high, and the status was also very noble. The use of guards as attendants of the Son of Heaven is also a special political treatment. What's more, the way for the promotion and transfer of the guards is much wider than that of other personnel, and it is precisely because of the preferential treatment of the special surnames of the guard system that it has become a shortcut to the end of the country for the children of Manchurian nobles and bureaucrats to obtain high-ranking officials without passing the examination.

However, in comparison, this is a first-class person who eats soft rice, the Qing Dynasty is not as good as the former Ming Dynasty, and the horse can participate in politics and even lead the army, but the identity of the horse is more disdainful, and it is also a taboo for many horses.

A cadre of Daoguang Laochen and military aircraft officers all maintain the Kangxi Dynasty's important minister Zhang Tingyu's golden and jade good words at this moment, as the so-called son of heaven and a courtier, it is also a kind of fun and enjoyment to see the younger generations fighting.

After Su Shun and Jing Shou pinched each other, Xianfeng coughed and said, "Let the Military Aircraft Department take a charter to deal with this matter!" Guangzhou has increased troops to quell the chaos, no matter what, this year's 15 million taels of tax and silver must be guaranteed, and the Anning Palace on the side of Yi Guiren must also be rebuilt, and no one million taels will not be able to come down no matter what, so be it! ”

Su Shun screamed sadly: "Your Majesty, don't chill the hearts of the soldiers in front!" ”

After the retreat from the dynasty, the main hall was empty, there was still a black hole outside, Su Shun walked out alone sadly, the snowflakes floating outside the hall made Su Shun's state of mind even more sad, at this time, Zeng Guofan, who was standing outside, hurriedly greeted him and arched his hand: "General Fuguo!" ”

Su Shun glanced at Zeng Guofan, who was covered in snowflakes, and said, "Why is Bohan playing with me?" What bullshit auxiliary general, if it goes on like this, it will be dangerous for me to clear the country! ”

"Be careful! Be careful! Zeng Guofan hurriedly dissuaded him.

Su Shun said nonchalantly: "I'm a Manchurian, my eldest brother Duanhua is Prince Zheng, I'm a first-class duke, I'm afraid of a fart?" ”

Suddenly, Su Shun's tone changed and said: "On February 25 of the new year, you will be ordered to lead the division to go out to send bandits, I have already read your "Seeking Cantonese Bandits", a good article at Duanduan!" The emperor ordered Chu Ruhang to be the president of the Navy Division, Taqib to be the vanguard of the army, and to lead these ten thousand seven athletes to go north, you have to be careful! This person is a man of the Toljia clan with a yellow flag in Manchuria, and he is more than brave, and he cannot lead an army alone, remember! ”

Zeng Guofan took advantage of the situation and saluted: "Thank you General Fuguo for reminding you to raise love!" ”

Su Shun sighed slightly and said: "Lin Haijiang, who is alone in Guangzhou, seems to be a genius with soldiers, if he can survive this level, I want to meet this person." ”

Zeng Guofan shook his head helplessly, in his opinion, a small five-grade guard? How much ability can it have? But you can't say this in front of Su Shun.

And in the city of Guangzhou, Lin Haijiang has begun to sharpen his knives, he has completely locked his target in the Taiping Road in the east of the city where the bandits are entrenched, because it is the place where the bandits resist the most fiercely, and now the bandits' team has been scattered because of burning, killing and looting, and the only thing that still has the bandit organization to patrol is only the Taiping Road in the east of the city, and the alleys of the streets in the east of the city are complex and changeable, and the main road is open to the outside, which is a good position to attack and retreat.

Therefore, Lin Haijiang concluded that the command structure of the bandits must be there, so Lin Haijiang decided to divide his troops into five routes to attack Taiping Road, and the troops began to move quietly in the darkness before dawn.

The spy outpost with daggers was exploring the way in front of the brigade, and Lin Haijiang, who led the three battalions of the squadron, escorted twenty Schadler six-pounder field guns.

In the Zhangjia compound in the alley at the east gate of Taiping Road in the east of the city, Zhang Baoren, Hu Zhuofeng, Li Li, Wang Wen and others were all looking at a very non-standard map of Liangguang in a daze with sad faces, and finally Hu Zhuofeng broke the deadlock and said: "I think what Lin Haijiang said is likely to be true, after all, the Qing Demon did it before us, and then showed weakness to us, which is very much like a trap." ”

Hu Zhuofeng sighed and said, "What if it's a trap?" If we retreat, we will return to Tianjing, and I am afraid that we will end up cowardly without a fight, and our heads will be in a different place! ”

Li Li smashed his fist on the map and said: "This damn rabble, hundreds of thousands of horses are so scattered that they can't gather together, burning and killing ** everywhere, it's completely the same as the North Temple, we can control less than 3,000 people now, and there are five million taels of silver raised here, even if we want to retreat, we can't transport it away?" ”

Five million taels of silver? Zhang Baoren and Hu Zhuofeng looked at each other and smiled, and said in unison: "If we transport this silver back, it will be a great achievement!" ”

Everyone here knows that on the surface, this batch of silver is said to be the military expenses transported from Tianjing, and the three armies were rewarded after the success of the uprising, but in fact, it was raised from many places in Guangzhou, and most of them were used to tie up meat tickets, pull black cars and other shady means, but with this batch of silver as a talisman, it seems that it does not matter whether the Guangzhou uprising is successful or not.

Just when Zhang Baoren, Hu Zhuofeng and others were discussing the method of escorting the route, suddenly there was a roaring sound and a sharp whistling sound in the night sky?
