"The Southern Barbarian Invasion is like a big drama, and the Rites and Religions have fallen to the ground, and today it is not the Qing Dynasty, but the world!"

Zhili Zhengding Mansion, Lu County, Henan according to the inspection of Liu Yong beat his chest and feet, tears fell.

"The demons are dancing wildly, I don't want that Holy Dao Pseudo-Emperor to be the Demon King! Na Bailian teaches the demon girl to be a concubine, a strange story through the ages! It's ridiculous, ignorant, and foolish people still cheer! Nanban is not a country, it is destroying people's hearts, and it wants to turn this magnificent China into a country that is inferior to beasts! ”

Gao Cheng is also indignant, it has been nearly May, the situation of the Qing Dynasty has further deteriorated, the Southern Barbarian army swallowed the entire Shanxi, Henan and most of Shandong, although it was temporarily stopped due to the rebellion of the Northern Zhili Unity Fist, but the entire land of Hebei has been surrounded by Yinghua on all sides, fortunately, the western Liaoning corridor is still unblocked, and the road to the north of the Qing Dynasty is not endless.

In the hometown of Liaodong, Nian Qianyao's puppet Yan army pressed towards Shengjing from Jilin and North Korea, and the roots of the Qing Dynasty were in danger. It is said that when the news of the Nian rebellion raised the flag first came to the Forbidden City, the Empress Dowager Cichun was dizzy on the spot, and then she didn't know where she got her confidence, and urgently appointed Ortai as the Liaodong Economic Strategy, commanding the two generals of Shengjing and Heilongjiang.

The Queen Mother not only sprinkled a large number of names such as Ortai University Scholar, Minister of Military Aircraft, Secretary of the Ministry of War, and Three-eyed Flower Feather, but also added a first-class duke, marrying the royal family to Ortai's son and other super-level favors, it can be seen that most of this confidence comes from Ortai himself.

In addition, the Queen Mother is still gritting her teeth and insisting in the Forbidden City, and the understanding of "things can still be done" still supports the spirit of the pillars of the Qing Dynasty, and the young generation of pillars like Gao Cheng and Liu Yong feel that they can still hold on to the North Zhili, which has been submerged by the tide of unity boxing, and can still persist in the South Zhili. When Cizhou was relieved of the siege and the Holy Road was moved, it had to retreat from Shunde Mansion to Zhengding Mansion.

Since late April, a series of changes have made these pillars suddenly realize that the Southern Barbarian army is only one side of the Northern Expedition, and when the army is silent, the other side of the population is boiling. This momentum is not as clear and recognizable as the red clothes, not as sharp and striking as the guns, the permeable surface is far more than the red clothes, and the depth of penetrating people's hearts is far better than the guns.

All kinds of guilds formed by Nanban merchants, good scholars, scholars, and even mud-legged peasants entered the counties and townships of Zhili, mingled with the locals of Zhili, and pulled out those people who did not want to continue to be tied to the chariot of the Qing Dynasty, let alone fall into the blood and fire vortex of the Unity Fist. This wave is represented by the active activities of the League. Stirring up tens of thousands of officials and civilians to gather in Cizhou is enough to show the terrifying power it has.

When this wave first rose, it was still full of ideas, and the directions were complicated, and it could not form a joint force. But after the Holy Dao came to Cizhou in person, the wave of people led by this alliance merged with the trend of the Nanban court.

The Holy Dao Emperor and the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect staged a ten-year meeting in Cizhou, which made the pillars of the Qing Dynasty who were still persisting fall into a desperate situation. In their opinion, the Holy Dao Emperor arranged such a scene. is to collect the hearts of the people of the north, the holy way is willing to practice, doing this absurd and crazy thing, without caring about the emperor's face, is basically destroying the foundation of governance.

But they had to admit bitterly that the Qing Dynasty had worked hard in Zhili, and even did not hesitate to use their unity fist to erode the hearts of the people coerced by Zhili, and was rapidly turning to the Nanban.

There are more than 100,000 parties involved in the "Cizhou Meeting", and these people are talking about this epic story. The related rumors spread to the entire land of Hebei within a few days. All kinds of storytelling and drama jokes are following the rumors, like the light of the rising sun, melting the layers of ice and snow that cover people's hearts.

"Xu Niangniang didn't save the tens of thousands of people in Cizhou, it was all our northerners!"

"Now the emperor won't treat us northerners as outsiders."

"Holy Dao Master is the son-in-law of our northerners!"

"Xu Niangniang's marriage to the Holy Dao Lord is God's arrangement, otherwise how could it be so coincidental!"

This is how the villagers see the "meeting in Cizhou", although "Xu Niangniang" is from Jiangnan, she grew up in the north and became famous in the north. Northerners are all regarded as "Xu Niangniang" and are northerners. Emperor Shengdao accepted "Xu Niangniang". also named the concubine, and the officials of the Qing Dynasty and the sour Xiucai chanted all day long that the southern barbarians occupied the north. The rhetoric that the northerners would be treated as slaves was originally rock-solid, but now it is beginning to be intercepted and cracked.

In their opinion, although the Holy Dao Emperor's move was absurd, the posture of the unity of the north and the south that could be shown was unmistakable, which greatly calmed their minds, coupled with the military and civilian situation of Yinghua, they did not have much to worry about Yinghua.

The red-clothed, the Alliance, and the Holy Dao Emperor went into battle shirtless with the "Cizhou Meeting" drama, and the three parties joined forces to form a chilling aura that swept across the entire land of Hebei. The hearts of the people of Zhili are also surging like a tide, and the trend of clear distinction is rapidly taking shape. The Unity Fist, the scholars who adhered to the Taoist system, the local powerful squires who felt that they could not escape the liquidation of the Manchurian Order, plus the pillars of the Qing Dynasty were on one side, and the others were on the other side, including the staunch pro-British faction gathered by the League and the majority of the people who originally just wanted to wait and see.

Compared with the "traitors" who have been united, or openly or secretly to welcome the Yinghua army, the side set up by the pillars of the Qing Dynasty still has its own position, and the unity fist feels that it is invincible in the world, so it waits for the red clothes to go north and give a head-on blow. Pessimistic and desperate, the Taoist guards sat in a cage, waiting for the deadline to come, and showed their integrity in various ways. The local heroes are trying to fish in the muddy waters, and they are trying to find gaps in the wind, and what about the pillars of the Qing Dynasty......

"Let's go back to the capital, we've done our best."

When Gao Qi appeared, he cheered up again, or rather, despair broke the limit and finally let go of his attachment. Even if he wants to be persistent, he has no capital, and he only has less than 2,000 remnants of the Xishan camp in his hands, and Zhengding Mansion has been eroded so that no one can trust him, and he can't afford to gather money and food at all.

"Daddy! We will return to the north, how can we have the face to face the queen mother and the court! ”

"Dashuai, holding the calf is a natural danger, easy to defend and difficult to attack, gathering righteous people to hold the calf, it is the Diaoyu City in this world!"

Gao Cheng and Liu Yong are still full of enthusiasm, shaking their heads sadly, face? Since the beginning of Yongzheng in the Qing Dynasty, the face has been peeled off layer by layer by the Nanban, and when Qianlong came to power and respected the Nanban as his uncle, the whole face was gone. When he went to Tanggu to revise the contract, it was completely cut off even the flesh and bones, and the person was no longer a person, and the country was no longer a country.

And Liu Yong, a literati, compared the Baoqi Village in Houlu County to Diaoyu City, and continued to follow his road of integrity, Gao Qi wanted to laugh even more, leading the last elite of the Qing Dynasty in the Central Plains. I used enough time and earth strength, tried my best to plan the people's hearts, but still failed to gnaw a small piece of meat in Nanban, you ignorant literati still want to beat me? By the way, you're still Han......

Although the Qing Dynasty implemented the green flag system of the Han army, the other part of the pillar theory continued to paste the skin of the Manchu and Han families in the center of power, in order to show their orthodoxy in China. Therefore, important ministers such as Zhang Tingyu, Wei Tingzhen, Ren Lanzhi, and Liu Tongxun were not forced to enter the flag. Liu Yongzi also retains his Han identity.

Remembering the news he had just received, he said quietly: "Jinan Mansion has fallen, and it is said that Liu Zhongtang dedicated the city." ”

Liu Yong was like a rat whose tail had been stepped on, and he jumped up, his face first red and then purple: "Impossible!" My father is a man of high spirits, but is he such a disloyal and unfaithful man! ”

Gao Qi shook his head: "The rumors may not be true. But the four gates of Jinan City were wide open, and the red clothes entered the city without a single shot, but this matter was witnessed by all. ”

Liu Yong's teeth were almost crushed: "That must be the act of the young man who coerced my father!" ”

Gao raised his shoulders and shrugged his shoulders and said: "You Han people, you know to close your eyes and prove yourself, and you won't look back if you hit the south wall......"

Liu Yong's face turned pale, and he accused his father of infidelity in person, if he did not defend the other party, it would be unfilial.

Just as they were gathering momentum, the pro-soldiers came in a hurry. The news in the newspaper made the three people frightened.

The red coat is dispatched! There is more than one side, the red clothes in the direction of Shanxi have left Niangzi Pass, the forward has arrived in Jingcheng, and the army led by the Emperor of the Holy Dao in the south has appeared in Xingtai.

"Let's go! Gather our people, go now! ”

Gao Qi made a decision, Gao Cheng took the order, Liu Yong had no intention of seeking justice for his father at this time, and looked at Gao Qi with some trepidation. Although he was loud and vocal about continuing to hold on, he also had to rely on high to defend it. and not rely on him, a scholar who has neither soldiers nor soldiers. Raise up the father and son to go. And what about him?

"Isn't Liu Gaosi determined to guard the calf village and show the loyalty of the Han people? Ben Shuai will send a ribbon. Entrust you with full authority! ”

Gao Qi was unceremonious, whether Liu Tongxun was trapping the enemy or surrendering to the enemy, although he couldn't figure it out, he didn't dare to take Liu Tongxun with him anymore, not to mention ...... Liu Yong is not "our man".

Liu Yong stared blankly at the height of the high, and when the person was gone, he gritted his teeth and spit out a sentence: "Han people!?" A hundred years ago, your Gao family was not fucking Han! “

In the capital city of Jinan, the governor's yamen has been besieged by the red-clothed regiments, and a lieutenant is listening to the report of his subordinates.

"No surrender, no fighting, no flight? You just want us to cut off his head so that we can earn his reputation, right? The person who keeps the festival is worthy of respect, but there is no Manchu martyr until now, what is he doing as a Han to earn this title? ”

Du Wei's emotion also caused his subordinates to laugh, Yinghua also talked about the name festival, as a red shirt, he emphasized the name of the martial artist, but this matter was put on Liu Tongxun, a Han man, it was particularly funny.

"Directly set it up, peeled that tartar skin, and threw it to the top, I heard that there are countless ways to rectify these people......"

At the command of the lieutenant, the red clothes poured into the yamen, and after a while, Liu Tongxun, who had his eyes closed and his face like ashes, was carried out.

"Liu Zhongtang, if you don't surrender, fight, or escape, we won't kill, prison, or force, you just take a good look at how the Qing Dynasty you want to be martyred fell."

Du Wei was still teasing like this, Liu Tongxun opened his eyes slightly, looked at the sky, and sighed: "Great Qing Dynasty...... It's already poured. ”

On May 9th, in the Forbidden City, the carriages continued to go north from the Shenwu Gate, surrounded by a large group of ministers, Ru Xi reluctantly glanced at the magnificent palace in front of him, and said gloomily: "Emperor Yuan Shun went out of Beijing City, and there is no Dayuan, and today we go, there will be no Qing Dynasty." ”

On the side, Yunlu said loudly: "There is no Qing Dynasty, and Manchuria!" ”

Yan Huang also said: "Queen Mother, let's go on the road, I am full of millions of people, and I am still waiting for the Queen Mother to open a new world and re-walk the road of a hundred years!"

Ru Xi glanced at the ministers who had gathered in a bunch of other people, it was Zhang Tingyu and other Han Chen, she nodded and said, "Okay, after cutting this Huaxia sore, we still have a way to rehabilitate ourselves." ”

After the Anglo-Northern Expedition, the tide of the Qing Dynasty's northward migration also began, and the rolling people and vehicles came out of Beijing and merged into Shengjing along the western Liaoning corridor. Most of the money, grain, and utensils of the imperial court, the ordnance and honor guards, the family servants of the important ministers of the clan, the family property and jewelry, and even the Manchu households mobilized from house to house according to the Eight Banners have been evacuated in the past two months, and now the northward migration is nearing the end.

Hundreds of thousands of men and women and a large number of materials have been transferred thousands of miles, but there has been no major chaos, which is also due to the preparations made by Ruxi for many years of business retreat.

The eight banners of the Manchu, Mongolian and Han armies were almost moved, and even some hardcore Han army green flags also went north, but the Han people were not among the people who moved north. Zhang Tingyu and other Hanchen stayed in Beijing City, vowing to guard the Qing Dynasty, the Taoist system and the world, and Ru Xi listened to it in vain.

Looking at the group of Manchurians in front of him, Ru Xi sighed deeply: "It's hard for you good Manchurian men......"

There are still Manchus left, and the Han people who are unwilling to enter Yinghua are a usable force after all, and they must rely on Manchus to lead. Ru Xi hoped to keep peace in Beijing, which was the basis for her plan for the relationship between the Manchus and the British and Chinese.

The unreliability of the peace that has been achieved by kneeling and begging for it is evident from the north-south trend of these years. The determination of the Manchus must be demonstrated, so that both Shengdao and Yinghua can understand the huge cost of exterminating the Manchus, and only then can the two sides have a basis for negotiation.

Therefore, a group of hot-blooded Manchu ministers led by Actun will stay in Beijing City and continue to deal with the Nanban, there are not many Eight Banners soldiers in Beijing City, but the unity fist of Beizhili is the Great Wall that can be relied on. Ru Xi believes that the bloody storm in Beijing will make Shengdao and Yinghua a little sober, and they can be more rational when looking at the future.

"The Queen Mother doesn't have to worry, Beijing City will be the graveyard of Nanban! The minions will definitely make Nanban run into a bloody head! ”

Acton bowed deeply, and the group of Manchu ministers behind him, mainly young and middle-aged people, bowed together, all with a generous look on their faces.

Ru Xi nodded with satisfaction, and said in his heart that those who stayed were unreliable Manchus such as Niu Colu and Fucha, and these Manchus were also closely related to Yinzhen, Fourteen, and Hongli. It is best for these people to martyr the city of Beijing, and it doesn't matter if they descend, anyway, they can no longer be allowed to embark on the new road of Manchuria.

The new road in Manchu relied on some other Manchurian men, who were fighting bloody battles in Liaodong to defend their homes.

In Mukden, east of Shengjing, west of the junction of the Suzi River and the Hunhe River, the sound of blazing guns and gunpowder smoke are rising around a walled city.

"Behind us is Sheng Jing, we have no way to retreat!"

Outside the city of Salhu, Gao Jin, the president of the left wing of the Fengtian Wuwei Army, waved his saber and shouted loudly, and the generals of the left and right armies were originally depressed, and this shout was like a thunderbolt striking in the heart, everyone cheered up, mustered up the remaining bravery, rushed into the battle formation, and marched forward bravely with the soldiers.

"Salhu is the holy land of our Manchurians, and we started from here a hundred years ago and took away the dragon energy of the Han people! If the Han people are allowed to win the city today, we will be wiped out! ”

On the city of Sarhu, the right-wing president of the Wuwei Army, Hadaha, had a bloody face, like a descended Shura, he drew his sword and shouted: "Kill——! ”

The blood stained almost all over the uniform, and the dark blue color could not be seen, and when the soldiers in the city heard such a call, the wounded soldiers rushed to the city with muskets, and fought with the enemy troops in iron and gray uniforms.

"The Manchurian people have broken their backbones, how can they resist my Great Yan elite soldiers at this time!? It must be your poor supervision! ”

Under the iron back mountain in the east of the city, the camp tent is continuous, a person in the big tent is dressed in gold armor, and the dragon head shoulder buckle clearly shows his imperial steps, this newly baked emperor is the Jingwu Emperor of the Great Yan State Nian Qianyao, he is sharply reprimanding the generals under his command.

The generals were all dirty, their faces were pale, and they were not slacking off, and they all tried their best to fight to the death, and the troops suffered great losses, and they were on the verge of collapse, and it was difficult to continue.

Nian Qianyao roared: "All the generals, go to the front line!" This battle is related to the success or failure of my Dayanding, if you win, you will soar to the sky, and if you lose, everything will stop! There is no turning back! ”
