The city of Beijing, the capital of the Qing Dynasty, has been the center of Chinese rule for nearly 200 years since the Manchu Qing Dynasty invaded Beijing during the Shunzhi Emperor. The Manchu Qing Dynasty was the first alien race to dominate the Central Plains, and later became orthodox, and was finally recognized by the entire Chinese land, and it took a lot of time and killed a lot of people. In the end, they succeeded.

Among the emperors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, there were also many capable people, and the so-called Kangqian prosperous era appeared. It's just that when the vast number of Chinese people and social elites were intoxicated with the prosperity of the Kangqian era, the West had already begun the industrial revolution and began to surpass China in great strides. In the end, in this Opium War, the Manchus were defeated and had to sign a treaty with the British to lose their power and humiliate the country.

The current ruler of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is Emperor Daoguang, whose full name is Aixin Jueluo. Min Ning, who was the second son of Emperor Jiaqing and the eldest son, eventually became the sixth emperor after the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered the customs. During the reign of Emperor Daoguang, the Qing Dynasty was poor and weak, and he made some efforts to save the Qing Dynasty from decline, such as rectifying the rule of officials, rectifying the salt administration, opening up the sea, quelling the rebellion of Zhang Ge, and strictly prohibiting opium, which played a certain positive role; He himself practiced frugality and was diligent in government affairs, but as an emperor, his qualifications were not high, coupled with the accumulation of social evils, the Qing Dynasty further declined during the reign of Emperor Daoguang, and the gap with the West became wider and wider, which led to the fiasco of the Opium War. After the defeat of the Opium War, Emperor Daoguang did not learn his lesson. There is no measure to learn from the West and revitalize the dynasty, but it has to get by. lived a life of Gou An's appeasement. This made the Qing Dynasty begin to decline even more. However, there has been a turning point in history, after the rise of the Xinhua State from the South Seas, it has taken the overthrow of the Manchu Qing Dynasty as its own responsibility, and the Manchu Dynasty will no longer linger as in history.

Beijing at the end of October. Autumn has already entered, and the maple leaves in Nishiyama are already red, which is very beautiful. The wind blowing from outside the plug. So that the weather is gradually getting cooler. The ancient city of Beijing looks lifeless. The only change is that the people are starting to get worried. During the Opium War, the British attacked Tianjin. Almost landed from Tianjin to attack Beijing. This caused the whole city of Beijing to panic. Everyone is worried that foreign devils will enter the city of Beijing. Fortunately, the foreigners finally retreated, which made everyone have a false alarm. However, the Manchu Qing suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the British, which made the people at the feet of the Son of Heaven very ashamed. You must know that everyone used to regard foreigners as barbarians, and they have always looked down on them. Now he is being beaten by foreigners all over the ground looking for teeth. There was also a treaty of humiliation and humiliation of the country, which was for them. It's a complete shame.

After the Opium War, there began to be more people in Beijing who introduced how powerful the West was, and they blindly exaggerated the strength of the Western powers, so that the simple people were stunned and frightened, and they became more and more afraid of Western foreigners. After the dream of the Celestial Empire was shattered, the cruel reality suddenly made everyone a little unacceptable. The huge gap has made the Chinese people feel deeply inferior from the bottom of their hearts. The nation's self-esteem and self-confidence have been dealt a great blow.

On October 22, a group of cavalry came all the way to the outside of Beijing. The war horses under their crotches already foamed at the corners of their mouths, and everyone's faces were tired. The sudden appearance of cavalry made the soldiers guarding the city gate very nervous.

"Get out of the way! 100,000 urgent! The cavalry shouted loudly.

At this time, the soldiers guarding the city gate realized that these cavalry were heralds who transmitted military information, and hurriedly got out of the way, and at the same time drove those who were entering the city away. At this time, there were a lot of people entering the city, which directly led to a burst of chickens and dogs jumping near the city gate.

However, some shrewd people, looking at these dusty cavalry, had a hint of worry between their eyebrows. It was only when the British attacked the Qing Dynasty that such a herald appeared. Now that these heralds are here again, aren't the British back? How is this possible? Haven't everyone signed the treaty? Could it be that these Britons treacherously tore up the treaty so quickly.

The cavalry rampaged through the streets, but no one dared to stop them. As soldiers who pass on military information, they have this privilege. Anyone who stands in the way deserves to be killed if they are hit.

The cavalry rushed all the way to Zhengyangmen, then stopped, and handed over the folds of Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, that they had sent, to the generals defending the city.

"Guangdong has been attacked by Xinhua Kingdom, this is an urgent report from the Governor!" The herald said loudly.

The general guarding Zhengyangmen had already swallowed back the words that had already reached his lips. The military situation was urgent, and he didn't dare to delay, so he sent these cavalry to rest, and then immediately ran towards the Forbidden City. He wanted to send the recital of Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, to Emperor Daoguang as soon as possible. Although, he didn't figure out which country Xinhua was. However, since they dared to attack Guangdong, it meant that the war had begun again. Such a military event is not something that a small city gate guard can afford to delay.

At this time, on the Jinluan Palace, a court meeting was underway. Emperor Daoguang sat on the dragon chair, listening to the ministers' recitals, looking a little bored. If when he was young, he was determined to be a good emperor, then now, after being slapped hard by the British, he no longer has that kind of mind. After working hard for so long, he was suddenly beaten back to his original shape by the British, which gave him a great shock. This made Emperor Daoguang less and less interested in state affairs, and general government affairs were handed over to several ministers of military aircraft to deal with.

"Huh!" Emperor Daoguang let out a long yawn and gestured to the eunuch beside him.

The eunuch immediately shouted in a shrill voice: "If there is something to do, there is nothing to retreat!" ”

At this time, the sound of the palace guards outside the door came from the announcement.

"Your Majesty, Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, has an important performance to present." The leader of the guards walked into the Jinluan Hall with the edict in hand.

The ministers in the Jinluan Hall immediately began to discuss. Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, sent an urgent recital, is there something big happening in Guangdong? Everyone thought of the British. Could it be that after the signing of the Treaty of Nanjing, did the British regret it? In that case, I'm afraid the battle will be fought again. Everyone couldn't help but be a little worried. If they still regarded themselves as the superior kingdom of the Celestial Empire before, the Opium War had completely awakened them.

"Bring it in." Emperor Daoguang also came to the spirit all of a sudden.

The eunuch took the fold and sent it to Emperor Daoguang. Emperor Daoguang flipped through the twists and turns and looked at it. However, soon his face turned iron-blue, and at the end of the day, it became like the bottom of a pot.

"Bastard! What the hell is going on? Emperor Daoguang said angrily.

"Ministers deserve death!" The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty immediately knelt on the ground and pleaded guilty. Although they didn't know what to do, Emperor Daoguang was angry about what he was doing. However, at this time, it is right to ask for sin, how can there be so many reasons.

"Humph! Who of you knows where the new Chinese kingdom came from? Emperor Daoguang asked angrily. Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, said in his recital that Guangdong was attacked by tens of thousands of Xinhua troops, the Xinhua army was well-equipped, and the Qing army in Guangdong was no match for the Xinhua army at all, and asked the imperial court for support, otherwise, the whole of Guangdong would be in danger of falling. This made Emperor Daoguang very angry, you must know that even when the British called, they only captured the city of Guangzhou.

"Xinhuaguo?" The civil and military officials were a little puzzled, many of them had heard this name for the first time.

"Under His Majesty, Xinhua seems to be a small country in the South Seas. The minions heard some foreigners talk about the country. The military department Shangshu Yucheng said. As the Minister of Military Aircraft, the Secretary of the Ministry of War, after the defeat in the Opium War, he specially learned about the relevant information of foreigners. As a small country in the South Seas, he had also heard of Xinhuaguo, but he didn't care about it.

"A small country in the South Seas? How dare a small country in Nanyang declare war on the Qing Dynasty? It's ridiculous! See for yeast what is written on the fold! Emperor Daoguang laughed angrily.

Yucheng crawled over, picked up the fold from the ground, and looked at it. However, after reading it, his face was also ugly. Later, he handed it to the other ministers of military aircraft. After reading it, everyone's faces were a little not good-looking. Guangdong was actually attacked by Xinhua, and Qi Gong, the governor of Liangguang, also asked the imperial court for help, which shows how critical the situation in Guangdong has become.

"Your Majesty, the minions think that we should immediately send troops to Guangdong. Once the situation in Guangdong is eroded, it will be even more difficult to regain control of the situation. Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing proposed.

"However, isn't Xinhua a small country in the South Seas? How can there be such strength, and there are tens of thousands of troops that are not lost to foreigners! Emperor Daoguang asked.

Suddenly, big beads of sweat appeared on the head of Yucheng, the secretary of the military department, if you don't know it, this is a big crime of bullying the king!

"The slave deserves death, and he was negligent for a while and misled the emperor!" Yucheng hurriedly kowtowed and confessed.

Emperor Daoguang waved his hand, and then asked, "Among the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, doesn't anyone know the reality of the Dao Xinhua Kingdom?" ”

As a result, no one dared to speak up among the civil and military officials in the Jinluan Palace.

"Your Majesty, let's go find a foreigner to ask, the foreigner may know a little more clearly." Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing proposed. At this moment, the British Empire's minister to the Qing Dynasty, Sir Pottinger, was still in the south and had not yet come to Beijing to take up his post. However, there are more foreigners doing business in Beijing. They must have known much more about the situation in Nanyang than the high-ranking officials of the Manchu government.
