The days passed day after day, and in this ordinary day, whether it was a foreigner, a Qing court, or a Taiping army, they did not do anything out of the ordinary, and they all seemed so calm, and they all seemed so calm.

One night about a month later, the night was good, the moon and stars were sparse, and the cool breeze was blowing, and some of the defenders upstairs in Suncheon Castle knew how to cherish this rare and wonderful moment, and under the guard of their companions, they slept, and slept very comfortably, and they had come like this for many nights in the past, and they really hoped that such a night would never pass.

At this time, the Qing army was the time when the vigilance was the lowest, and the city tower at this time was the time when the defense was the most lax

There was silence on the towers, and only occasionally the sound of even breathing from the sleeping soldiers was heard, and such a night made them intoxicated.

On the tower of the east gate, at this time, the wind suddenly tightened, a group of uninvited guests dressed in black and with strange equipment fell from the sky, after they landed, they seized the advantageous terrain as quickly as possible, a man in black who seemed to be a leader kept gesturing to the other black-clothed people to issue different orders, and the other black-clothed people approached the Qing soldiers who were dreaming nearby, and they quickly took out the daggers they carried, and then wiped them cleanly on the neck of the Qing army, less than a moment's work, Those sleeping Qing soldiers went to heaven silently, and many people's faces looked so peaceful, and there was no pain at all.

sent away these who were asleep, and then, they easily killed those who were drowsy, and finally spent some effort to settle those who were still sticking to their posts, so far, the man in black completely controlled the East Gate Tower.

After controlling the East Gate Tower, the leading man in black took out a signal rod from his body and pointed it into the air, only to hear a bang, and the signal flare burst out of the signal rod and rushed towards the distant sky.

After doing this, the man in black waved his hand again, stretched out his hand and went straight to the east gate, at the gate of the east gate, there was a small team of Qing troops stationed, obviously, the purpose of these men in black was to gain control of the east gate.

There was no too fierce battle, some were just a little boring cleanup, under the surprise attack of the man in black, the Qing army squad guarding the east gate did not make any effective resistance, and became the ghost of the man in black.

After killing people, the man in black quickly cleared the barricades placed on the east gate road, and then opened the city gate widely, as if to greet something.

Meanwhile. They actively seized and controlled the effective commanding heights, presumably to firmly control the East Gate in their own hands.

Soon after doing this, a rumbling sound came from afar, and the earth began to tremble violently.

With the approach of a loud noise, the curtain came into view of a group of galloping cavalry, the cavalry of the Taiping Army.

It turned out that it was the cavalry of the Taiping Army who came.

The cavalry came quickly, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the east gate, and without the slightest delay, they rushed in from the east gate.

The Qing army brigade stationed in the city did not wake up from a dream until this time, and ran in a panic to tell each other that the Taiping army was coming, the Taiping army had entered the city, and it had not yet started, and the Qing army had been chaotic, and before it started, the Qing army had been defeated.

It's really a line of defense like papier-mâché.

When the news of the Taiping army's entry into the city was transmitted to the ears of Prince Gong and Seng Lingqin, they were also panicked and a little caught off guard, but when the news reached Xianfeng's ears again, Xianfeng was surprisingly calm.

Xianfeng's heart is not without a little fluctuation, he just thinks that this day will come sooner or later, it is better to come early than late, and if you come early, you will make a break early, so as to save him from worrying all day long, and when the Taiping Army comes, he will be relieved.

Prince Gong and Monk Lingqin said again, the defense line has been broken, the army has been chaotic, please the emperor evacuate as soon as possible.

After hearing this, Xianfeng smiled and was noncommittal.

Xianfeng's composure made Prince Gong and Seng Lingqin look at each other a little, and their hearts were even more anxious, this enemy was close at hand, but Xianfeng was unmoved, and their emperor was doing what kind of plane.

Prince Gong and Monk Lingqin just wanted to persuade the emperor to evacuate early, but Xianfeng asked, where are the foreigners?

Foreigners, yes, yes, foreigners, Prince Gong just remembered that they still have foreigners to rely on, but what about foreigners, where are foreigners, yes, they just thought about the Taiping army that entered the city, but they forgot to inform the foreigners.

They have to do their best to inform the foreigners.

Prince Gong then said that he would find a way to inform the foreigners to come to help.

Xianfeng nodded and motioned for him to hurry up and contact the foreigner.

Prince Gong agreed, and hurriedly asked the foreigner for help, leaving Monk Lingqin to escort him.

After the cavalry of the Taiping army entered the city, they immediately divided their troops into four ways and rushed to kill in four directions, and the follow-up army of the Taiping army led by Huang Xu also drove into Shuntian City one after another, but no newly formed firearms regiment was found in these Taiping troops that attacked Shuntian.

"See the eldest brother, the special combat team has been led by Xiao Er, leading the army to sweep the Shuntian Mansion, and the younger brother is here to welcome the eldest brother into the city." The leader of the men in black who was guarding the gate had torn off his face and revealed his true face.

It turned out that the leader of the man in black was not confused by the East.

Since this person is not confused by the East, it is very clear that the black-clothed squad that raided the east gate must be the special combat team of the Taiping Army, no wonder they are so skillful when they do these murderous things.

"Dongfang, good job!" Huang Xu praised.

The special combat team did a good job, clean and neat, and took the east gate without much effort, which is worthy of praise.

"Hey, hey, the eldest brother has won the prize, and it all depends on the brothers working together." Dongfang didn't smirk.

"Okay, I've written down your merits, and when the battle is over, we'll reward them together, and now, you can kill the enemy first." Huang Xu smiled and said.

"Yes, big brother." Dongfang was not confused and bowed his hand to Huang Xu to say goodbye, turned around and rushed forward.

"Mr. Zhao, Dashuai, we're back again." Huang Xu said with emotion to Zhao Xiaofeng and Zeng Guofan, who were standing beside him.

"Yes, this time, we must not go back empty-handed." Zeng Guofan's eyes flashed, and he said solemnly.

Since returning from the last time, Zeng Guofan has also held his breath, this time, he must find the field.

"Of course, not only can't you go back empty-handed, but you also have to solve all the problems at once." Huang Xu looked at the smoke-filled Shuntian City and said slowly.

What needs to be solved is the remnants of the Qing court and the foreigners.

"Yes, it's all settled." Zeng Guofan clapped his hands and laughed.

"Let's go ahead and see." Huang Xuyang spurred the horse road.

After speaking, Huang Xu slapped his horse and ran forward, while Zeng Guofan and Zhao Xiaofeng followed closely.

The Taiping army was like a bamboo, the soldiers pointed out, it was invincible, no Qing army dared to beat its edge, it didn't take long, the Taiping army swept every boundary of Shuntian Mansion except the palace, and then Chen Bing in front of the palace.

Huang Xu and the others received the news, and they also hurried to the front of the palace.

Under the orders of Huang Xu. The Taiping army surrounded the entire palace, and the letter of surrender was sent to the palace.

In the Qing Imperial Palace, Xianfeng was still seated safely, written by Zhao Xiaofeng, and the letter of persuasion signed by Huang Xu had been placed on Xianfeng's desk, Xianfeng glanced at the letter of persuasion, and the dignity of the emperor burst out instantly.

"Bastard, what a thing, it's just a bunch of thieves, how dare they ride on my head to and pee, it's really unreasonable, unreasonable." Xianfeng said angrily.

"The emperor is angry, the emperor is angry, the matter is urgent, and it is better to ask the emperor to retreat for the time being." The monk who stayed behind to protect Xianfeng's side persuaded him.

"Retreat? Where can I retreat, now that the palace is surrounded by water, where can I retreat." Xianfeng asked rhetorically.

"Your Majesty, now the elite of the forbidden army is still there, and the minister is willing to lead the forbidden army to protect the emperor from the encirclement." Monk Grinqin knelt in the tunnel.

"What can I do if I break out, it's not like I want to run away like a lost dog, I will never be such an emperor." Xianfeng shook his head, his tone quite firm.

"Please think twice." Monk Grinqin banged his head and sobbed.

The shape is in danger, and Seng Greenqin is anxious, but Xianfeng does not listen to persuasion, he really doesn't know what to do except kowtow.

"I have made up my mind, and I vow to live and die with the Qing Dynasty, and the Iron Hat King will not persuade me anymore." Xianfeng is stubborn and authentic.

Xianfeng's words sounded a little bloody.

"Your Majesty, you can't, you can't, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't be afraid of no firewood, Gou Jian can still lie down and taste the guts, the emperor is a generation of Ming Jun, as long as he escapes today's catastrophe, he will definitely make a comeback." Monk Grinqin said again.

Monk Greenqin can say such a thing, it is indeed a little difficult for him, he is a military general, saying that these big truths are not his strength, but now that the situation is serious, he has to rack his brains and try his best to find some small truths to persuade Emperor Xianfeng to take a step back first.

"Monk Grinqin, didn't you listen to what I said? I've made up my mind." Xianfeng's face changed and he shouted.

The emperor is the emperor after all, can he change what he said casually.

Seeing Xianfeng's attitude, Seng Lingqin understood that it was useless to persuade him, so he sighed secretly, thinking, that's it, that's it, since the emperor insists on this, then he can only go with him, it's a big deal to wait for the Taiping army to really attack, and then find a chance to get out.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Monk Grinqin kowtowed.

"This is a letter of persuasion from the thief, you read it to me, and see what they have to say." Xianfeng picked up the letter of persuasion on the imperial case and threw it to Monk Greenqindao.

"This—" Monk Grinqin hesitated a little.

This is a big disrespect, the thief wrote a letter of persuasion to the emperor, and he was the first time he had encountered it.

"Read, let you read, you read, rub what." Xianfeng said very unhappily.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Monk Greenqin Road.

When he saw Xianfeng angry, he could only do it.

"To Emperor Xianfeng, there is an ancient saying, you can abide by the rules, you can't abandon the rules, this wise move is also, as everyone knows, the Qing people have no way, and the peace songs are ...... The country of peace, welcome guests from all over the world, do not worry about the past, do not worry about gains and losses, idealistic to the Chinese, you can accept also, hope to join hands with the king, build a strong China, the emperor will return, I will play the king of heaven Xià, allow the emperor to Yongzhen Shuntian, speaking of this, Fu Wangyin back. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom recruits the generalissimo, Huang Xu. Monk Lingqin slowly finished his belief, and then stood aside, waiting for Xianfeng to make a decision.

Huang Xu's letter was written quite politely, and he vaguely said that he wanted to build the country hand in hand, and he was also painstaking.

"Ha, ha, ridiculous, ridiculous, a bunch of grass cowards, delusional to settle the wrong with me, it's just wishful thinking, is it possible, is it possible, is it possible, Iron Hat King, do you think this is possible?" Xianfeng laughed out loud, laughed to the end, and even laughed out of tears.

"Yes, Your Majesty, impossible, impossible." Monk Greenqin is only authentic.

The emperor was furious, how dare he talk nonsense. But. Monk Lingqin can really feel the grief and indignation in Xianfeng's heart.

"Whimsical, whimsical!" Xianfeng continued.

"Your Majesty, then, do we need a reply?" Monk Grinqin hesitated.

Come and don't be rude, Monk Grinqin thinks so.

"Reply, reply to a fart, reply to these thieves, you want to come out, go, burn the letter." Xianfeng shouted.

Monk Lingqin heard Xianfeng's words, his hand holding the letter trembled, and he turned around and went to burn the letter.

Could it be that the Qing Dynasty is about to die, how can the anti-thieves be rampant to such a point, such a point, Xianfeng was resentful in his heart.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty's ......" Monk Greenqin, who had finished burning the letter outside, suddenly ran in with a smile on his face, shouting as he ran.

"What's the matter?" Xianfeng is not in such a good mood, a little impatient and authentic.

"Prince Gong has just sent back the news that General Marshall has led a team of men and horses as a vanguard to rush to the palace, and the main force led by General Bush will also arrive later, Your Majesty, we have been saved." Monk Grinqin shouted happily.

"Is that true?" Xianfeng was a little unconvinced.

"Really, Prince Gong has already contacted the foreigners, but the Taiping army is surrounding the palace, and he can't come to see the emperor in person, so he sent his henchman general to sneak into the palace and want to report the matter to the emperor." Monk Greenqin Road.

"If this is the case, then let him in quickly, and I will ask you in detail about what happened." Xianfeng hurriedly said.

Monk Grinqin immediately turned around and went to let the guard general in.

After saluting Xianfeng, the guard general told Xianfeng in detail about the negotiation between his master, Prince Gong, and the foreigners, to the effect that the monk Lingqin had reported to Xianfeng just now, that an advance contingent of foreign troops led by the foreign general Marshall was rushing to Shuntian, and Bush also promised to lead the main force of the foreign army to help.

"Great, great..."Xianfeng listened, his heart was overjoyed, and he said vigorously.

With the support of this foreign army, he still has to be afraid of something that is too unpeaceful army, and his Qing Dynasty is saved.

"Where is Prince Gong now?" Xianfeng asked again.

"Your Majesty, Prince Gong is now hidden in a secret place in the Shuntian Mansion, and he is trying to find a way to welcome foreigners into the city." Monk Grinqin had already received the news from the mouth of the guard general, so he took the word on his behalf.

"Good, good, Prince Gong did a good job." Xianfeng praised.

"Your Majesty, what should we do then?" Monk Greenqin Road.

"Iron Hat King, I order you to lead the forbidden army, strictly guard the palace gate, and wait for help, as long as the foreigners come, we will cooperate with them inside and outside, and we will definitely break the thieves." Xianfeng was excited.

"Yes!" Monk Grinqin received the order.

The road to peace has been sealed, and a great war is coming. (To be continued......)
