In March, the city of Beijing, although it has gradually entered spring, has begun to have a hint of greenery. However, the wind blowing from the north still makes people feel very cold. Especially this year's spring, as if it came very late, made the city of Beijing even more depressed.

During the war, the city of Beijing also began to be affected. The rumors from the south have made some people panic. Although the government has come out to refute the rumors many times, it has no use at all, but has intensified the spread of rumors. There are even rumors that the Xinhua army has already crossed the Yangtze River and entered Henan, and will soon attack Zhili and hit the city of Beijing.

Today is the day of the Great Dynasty Meeting, and although his health is getting worse and worse, Emperor Daoguang still dragged his sick body to sit on the dragon chair. It's just that the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty are a little absent-minded, and everyone is watching the war in the south. At the beginning, everyone still had a lot of confidence in the Qing army. However, as the development of the war situation became more and more unfavorable to the Qing army, the ministers of the DPRK and China were also a little worried.

"If you have something to do, you have nothing to do!" The eunuchs shouted in shrill voices.

"Your Majesty, the recruitment of the new army has been completed, and fifty thousand elites have been recruited from the children of the Eight Banners. In addition, the weapons purchased from the UK, as well as the instructors provided by the British Army, are already in place and ready to start training. "Minister of Military Aircraft, Shangshu Yucheng of the Ministry of War said first.

"Then let's start training! The army is related to the security of the country, and the sooner the new army is trained. The Qing Dynasty became more and more stable. Emperor Daoguang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty, the minion obeys!" Yucheng said. From the import of weapons to the UK. Yucheng ate hundreds of thousands of taels of kickbacks. Of course, he hoped that the Manchu Fresh Army would be able to satisfy Emperor Daoguang. In this way, the Manchus would import more weapons from Britain, and he would get more kickbacks from them, killing two birds with one stone.

"Your Majesty, Prince Hui has arrived in Zhili, how to deal with it, please ask Your Majesty to judge." The Minister of Military Aircraft, Mu Zhang'a, asked. Prince Hui Ai Xin Jueluo. Mianyu was the general who commanded the southern expedition of the 300,000 Qing army. not only delayed the military plane, but also deceived the monarch. Emperor Daoguang was furious and ordered the removal of Prince Hui from his post and let him return to Beijing to hear the trial. If it's an ordinary general. That's very easy to deal with, just cut off the head directly, and then destroy the nine clans. However, Prince Hui is different. He was not only the prince of the Qing Dynasty. He is the most beloved younger brother of Emperor Daoguang. What to do, they, the courtiers, really can't make up their minds!

"Humph! When he returned, he was told to stay in the house, and he was not allowed to take half a step out of the house without my order! Emperor Daoguang said coldly. For Prince Hui, Emperor Daoguang was angry in his heart, but more regretful. As the most talented prince in the clan. Emperor Daoguang had great expectations for Prince Hui. But he never expected that Prince Hui, who was usually so shrewd. Once he really went to the battlefield, his appearance was so unbearable, and it seemed that his usual appearance was just talking on paper. This made Emperor Daoguang's expectations disappointed all of a sudden, and the blow to him was not small. If it weren't for Prince Zai Hui being his own brother, he would have ordered his head to be cut off a long time ago.

"Yes, the minion obeys!" Minister of Military Aircraft Mu Zhang'a said.

After that, there was a deep silence in the court. Everyone knows that because the war in the south is not small, Emperor Daoguang's anger has been quite strong recently. Therefore, there is nothing too important, and they all keep their mouths shut tightly, lest they anger Emperor Daoguang and cause a monstrous disaster.

"How's the war going in the South?" Seeing that no one was talking, Emperor Daoguang took the initiative to ask.

"Your Majesty, the war in the south is still deadlocked. The army led by General Chen Jinshou, the commander of Zhili, was still fighting around Guangdong. At present, it is impossible to attack the territory of Guangdong. Minister of Military Aircraft, Shangshu Yucheng of the Ministry of War replied.

After hearing that this was such a situation, Emperor Daoguang's face couldn't help but become a little gloomy. The longer the war dragged on, the more unfavorable it was to the Manchu government. As he received more and more information about the Xinhua Kingdom, the more wary Emperor Daoguang became of the Xinhua Kingdom. A small Xinhua country, with a population of several million, can fight the wolf of the Western power. If Xinhua has digested tens of millions of people in Guangdong, how can it still resist Xinhua? It's not good, the Qing Dynasty will really die in the hands of Xinhuaguo.

"Give Chen Jinshou a decree, I order him that within three months, he must enter Guangdong and destroy the Xinhua army, otherwise, he will come to see him!" Emperor Daoguang said with a dark face. Although he knew that Chen Jinshou might have tried his best, if Chen Jinshou was not put more pressure on him, the Qing army did not know when it would be able to enter Guangdong. For the sake of the Qing Dynasty, he could only make strict demands. Anyway, if there are more Hanchens, if they die one or two, it will not have any impact on the Qing Dynasty at all.

"Your Majesty, the governors of the southern provinces have come to the court, asking the imperial court to allow the provinces to expand the scale of the green camp. Now the troops of the southern provinces have been transferred to fight around Guangdong, and the defenses of the provinces are extremely empty, and more troops are needed to do so. Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing said.

Emperor Daoguang was a little hesitant on this issue, if the scale of the green battalion was expanded, it would increase the proportion of green battalion soldiers in the Qing army, and if it was not done well, it would endanger the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty. However, if the southern defense is allowed to remain empty, it will not be conducive to the stability of the south. Emperor Daoguang thought for a few minutes, and then said: "Draft an order, let the governors of the southern provinces expand their military strength!" ”

Emperor Daoguang still chose to compromise on this issue. After all, the threat of the Qing Dynasty of the Xinhua Army is the most direct. Only after defeating the Xinhua Army can the Qing Dynasty be stable. As for other problems, they can also be solved slowly when the time comes.

However, soon Emperor Daoguang will know that there is no need to dwell on this issue. The Qing army besieging Guangdong has been completely defeated, and the Xinhua army has entered the Yangtze River, defeated Jiangning, and is heading up the river. The whole south will be lost, and there will be no need to think about expanding the army at all.

"Tell Your Majesty, Horqin's Left Wing Rear Banner Zasak County King Monk Greenqin urgently report." At this moment, the commander of the guards walked quickly into the Jinluan Palace, holding an urgent letter from the south.

"Bring it in." Emperor Daoguang's heart tightened, and the last time Monk Lingqin came to report, Prince Hui was dismissed. This time there is another urgent letter, it can't be that there is something wrong with the southern front.

The eunuch forwarded the urgent mail in the hands of the guard commander to Emperor Daoguang. Emperor Daoguang opened it and looked at it, but soon his face was gloomy as water, and his chest rose and fell violently, as if he was suppressing the anger in his heart.

In the urgency of Seng Lingqin, he was informed that the Xinhua army had launched a large-scale counterattack in northern Guangdong. The Qing army was defeated, losing tens of thousands of dollars, and had to retreat to Chenzhou. In the end, the Xinhua army and the Qing army fought a decisive battle in Chenzhou, and the Qing army suffered heavy losses, and Chen Jinshou, the governor of Zhili, Gui Ming, the governor of Hubei, and Changchun, the governor of Hunan, were all captured by the Xinhua army. Monk Lingqin led the Mongolian cavalry and the Eight Banners Iron Cavalry and retreated to Hengyang. However, the Xinhua Army was marching towards Hengyang, and with the combat strength of the Xinhua Army, the Qing Army could not defeat the Xinhua Army. Monk Greenqin planned to continue to retreat to the north until Changsha.

"Damn, how can this be?" Emperor Daoguang was furious, and the urgent item in his hand was also thrown to the ground.

"Slaves (ministers) deserve death!" Seeing that Emperor Daoguang was angry, the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty knelt on the ground one after another and became kowtowers.

Mu Zhang'a, Minister of Military Aircraft, knelt down and walked a few steps forward, and then picked up the urgent mail sent by Monk Lingqin and looked at it. Soon, his face turned pale. The ministers of military aircraft have passed through this urgent letter. But after everyone saw it, their faces became very ugly. They understood why Emperor Daoguang was so angry, it turned out that the front line had suffered a big defeat, and even the commander was captured by the enemy.

It was as if all the bad things were concentrated on this day, and immediately afterward, urgent mail was sent one after another. Zhou Zhiqi, the governor of Guangxi, reported that Wang Daocheng, the governor of Guizhou, and Zhang Guoxiang, the governor of Yunnan, defected to the Xinhua army, led the Xinhua army to besiege Hezhou, and Ma Dianjia, the governor of Guangxi, was killed in battle, and the main force of the Guangxi Green Battalion was annihilated. Now the Xinhua Army is marching into the entire territory of Guangxi, and it is expected that Guangxi will not be guaranteed. At the same time, the two provinces of Guizhou and Yunnan, which are adjacent to Guangxi, will not be able to stop the attack of the Xinhua army.

The Fuzhou general Bichang also sent a fold, and the Xinhua army eliminated the main forces of the Fujian Green Battalion and the Zhejiang Green Battalion in the battles of Zhangzhou and Xiamen. Subsequently, the Xinhua army attacked Fuzhou, and Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, was killed in battle. Bichang was leading the Eight Banners of Fuzhou to retreat to the nearby northwestern mountains to continue to resist the attack of the Xinhua army. It's just that the Xinhua army is powerful, and he doesn't know how long it can hold out.

For a time, the 300,000 Qing troops besieging Guangdong were all defeated, and the main force had been annihilated by the Xinhua army, and the situation in the entire south became very critical. Emperor Daoguang never imagined that the city would evolve into what it is now. Originally, he thought that it was just that the Qing army's attack was blocked, but now it seems that the Xinhua army is even stronger than he expected. The siege of the Qing army not only failed to defeat the Xinhua army and drove the Xinhua army into the sea, but instead lost its troops. In addition, the entire south is empty of troops, and if it is not handled well, the whole south will be eroded.

At this time, there was another urgent report. The hearts of the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty have all risen to their throats, is there any place where they have fallen?

Emperor Daoguang took the urgent report from the eunuch's hand with a dark face, but when he just read a few words, he suddenly felt that the blood all over his body rushed to his brain, and his thin body sitting on the dragon chair suddenly fell down. (To be continued......)
