"陛xià, 陛xià!" "Hurry up and announce the Imperial Doctor, quickly Xuan Imperial Doctor!"

Emperor Daoguang suddenly fainted on the dragon chair, causing the civil and military personnel of the Manchu Dynasty to panic. Fortunately, the imperial doctor arrived in time, and with the help of the eunuchs, he hurriedly sent Emperor Daoguang to the harem. However, the Manchu officials in the court were mourning one by one. Emperor Daoguang is their master, if Emperor Daoguang has something to do with three long and two short, then what can they do? In addition, now that the Xinhua Army is attacking fiercely, and there is no one at the helm, the Qing Dynasty will be in real danger.

Several ministers of military aircraft gathered together to watch the letter that made Emperor Daoguang faint. It was a joint gift from Niu Jian, the governor of Liangjiang, and Dezhubu, the general of Jiangning. According to the recital, the Xinhua army captured Hangzhou by sea. And go north along the Yangtze River estuary all the way to the west. The provinces along the Yangtze River were empty of troops and could not withstand the attack of the Xinhua army. Niu Jian, the governor of Liangjiang, and Dezhubu, the general of Jiangning, were ready to concentrate all their forces and fight to the death with the Xinhua army in Jiangning. They hoped that the imperial court would be able to send reinforcements in time. The fold was sent ten days ago, and it is only now being delivered. It's not good, Jiangning has already fallen. Only then did they understand why Emperor Daoguang was so angry. The Xinhua army attacked westward along the Yangtze River, obviously wanting to swallow the provinces south of the Yangtze River in one gulp! And, judging from the current situation, the Xinhua Army is very likely to succeed. At that time, half of China will fall into the hands of Xinhua. The foundation of the Qing Dynasty was shaken by the Xinhua Kingdom.

"The memorabilia was sent ten days ago, and I don't know what the situation is in Jiangning now. Perhaps, Jiangning has already fallen. Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing said in a low voice. In order not to leak the news. Causing panic in the Manchu Dynasty, he deliberately lowered his voice. The rest of the Manchu officials, when they saw several military ministers gathered together to discuss matters, did not dare to lean over, but just watched them from a distance, hoping to get some hints from their demeanor. But. These military ministers are all cunning guys, even if they are shocked in their hearts, they still have a casual expression on their faces.

"Not necessarily. Jiangning is the strongest city in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Lord Niu, they have gathered more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, how can they hold out for a month or two. Minister of Military Aircraft Shangshu Yucheng said.

"Master Yu, don't forget, the Xinhua Army can't be treated with common sense. Who would have thought. Tens of thousands of Xinhua troops were able to keep the 300,000 troops of the Qing Dynasty out of Guangdong. Not an inch is allowed to enter. And be able to launch a counterattack and defeat the hundreds of thousands of troops of the imperial court? What's more, the Xinhua Army still has the strength to invade the Yangtze River, which proves that we underestimated the Xinhua Army before! Wen Qing sighed. At the beginning, no one thought that the Xinhua Army would be so powerful that it would be able to truly threaten the Jiangshan Sheji of the Qing Dynasty. It's just that it's too late to understand. Half of China will be lost. If this continues, the Qing Dynasty will really be finished.

Other Ministers of Military Aircraft. They all had gloomy faces. Nor could they have imagined that the situation would erode to such an extent. Even if they were defeated by the British in the Opium War, and then signed a treaty that humiliated the country. However, they all believed that this was just the Qing Dynasty's temporary failure to investigate, so the British were caught off guard. Now, the Qing Dynasty has faced up to its opponents. Xinhua wants to defeat the Qing Dynasty, which is simply a fool's dream. However, the cruel reality gave them a slap in the face, making them understand how cruel reality is.

"Ladies and gentlemen, we need to come up with a charter quickly. The war situation in the south is becoming more and more critical, so we must be prepared first. The Xinhua army has already reached the Yangtze River, if they continue to attack north, then how can we resist? Mu Zhang'a, Minister of Military Aircraft, said a little anxiously. Before, he looked down on the Xinhua Army very much, thinking that the Xinhua Army was provoking the tiger power of the Qing Dynasty, and it would definitely be torn to pieces by the Qing Dynasty in the end. However, he no longer thinks so, Xinhua really has the strength to defeat the Qing Dynasty, or even overthrow the Qing Dynasty. As a high-ranking Manchu official, he certainly did not want to see this qiē happen.

"Lord Mu, Your Majesty is in a coma now, what can we do?" Said the Minister of Military Aircraft, Saishana.

"But you can't just do nothing, can you? The longer the time drags on, the more unfavorable it will be to the Qing Dynasty. Minister of Military Aircraft Pan Shien said.

The mobilization of the Manchu army had to be ordered by the emperor. Now that Emperor Daoguang is so angry that he has passed out, who can give such an order? Everyone is a little worried in their hearts, Emperor Daoguang's health has been bad recently, and if he is so angry again, if something goes wrong, then how can he get it? Under the internal and external troubles, the Qing Dynasty is really dangerous.

It didn't take long for a eunuch to walk into the Jinluan Palace, he came directly to the ministers of military aircraft, and whispered: "Ladies and gentlemen, the emperor has woken up and wants to see your lords." ”

The ministers of military aircraft were overjoyed, if Emperor Daoguang was fine, then the matter would be much easier to solve. Everyone followed the eunuch and left the Jinluan Palace and walked towards the dormitory of Emperor Daoguang.

"Slaves (ministers, etc.) see the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!" Several ministers of military aircraft came to the front of Emperor Daoguang's sickbed and knelt on the ground to salute. However, although Emperor Daoguang has woken up now, he is in a very bad state, and it is very difficult to say how long he can live, let alone long live.

"Ladies and gentlemen, let's be even." Emperor Daoguang's voice was a little hoarse, as if he was struggling to say these words. This made the ministers of military aircraft have an ominous premonition in their hearts, Emperor Daoguang looked like an old man in his last years, this is a feeling of running out of oil, it seems that time is running out. If that's really the case, then they, the Manchu ministers, have to plan ahead of time.

"Emperor Xie!" After thanking them, they stood up. Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to look at Emperor Daoguang.

"Alas, it's an eventful time in the world now, but my health is getting worse and worse, and it may not be long before I go to see the first emperor." Emperor Daoguang said intermittently.

"Your Majesty, don't say that, Your Majesty is at the peak of the Spring and Autumn Period, and the Qing Dynasty can't do without you!" Minister of Military Aircraft Mu Zhang'a hurriedly said.

Emperor Daoguang is now sixty-one years old, and during this period, especially among emperors, he is already considered to have a long life. After the Opium War, Emperor Daoguang's health became worse and worse, especially after the Xinhua Army captured Guangdong, which made Emperor Daoguang's health worse and worse because of anger. Now, after learning of the series of defeats of the Qing army, Emperor Daoguang finally couldn't hold out under a series of blows.

"Don't say that. Let's talk about it, how to solve the current predicament of the Qing Dynasty? The Xinhua army has already attacked along the Yangtze River, and the entire south is probably in danger. Perhaps, the flames of war will reach the north. Emperor Daoguang asked.

"Your Majesty, the minion thinks that we should speed up the training of the new army. The reason why the Xinhua Army was able to defeat the imperial army lightly was not because of the power of firearms? As long as our new army is trained, it will be enough to resist the attack of the new Chinese army, and it will even be able to turn defeat into victory. Minister of Military Aircraft, Shangshu Yucheng of the Ministry of War said.

Emperor Daoguang nodded, but the training of the new army was not something that could be completed in a day or two. By the time the training of the Xinhua Army is completed, perhaps the Xinhua Army will have already reached the city of Beijing.

"The training of the new army should be accelerated, and if the new Chinese army continues to attack north, maybe we will need them to go to the battlefield soon." Emperor Daoguang said.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Yucheng nodded. It's just that Yucheng is also beating the drum in his heart about whether the 50,000 new army can bear such a heavy responsibility. Of course, now that Emperor Daoguang said so, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that we have to quickly mobilize our forces now to strengthen the defense on the north bank of the Yangtze River, in case the Xinhua army wants to continue to go north after taking the southern part of the Yangtze River, we should also have a defense." Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing said.

"Yucheng ordered the troops of the northern provinces to be mobilized and rushed to the north of the Yangtze River to build a defensive line to resist the attack of the Xinhua army. In addition, the green camps in the provinces north of the Yangtze River have been further expanded. The size of the Forces nouvelles was also doubled, and weapons continued to be purchased from the British. We need more new armies. The treasury does not have any extra money, and it can be advanced by the inner treasury. Emperor Daoguang said. Now, the Qing Dynasty has reached the most critical moment, if you don't go all out, the Qing Dynasty will probably only have two hundred years in the world.

"Yes, Your Majesty." Minister of Military Aircraft, Shangshu Yucheng of the Ministry of War hurriedly said.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks, fighting will not solve the problem. Now that the Xinhua army is strong, if it continues, it will not be beneficial to the Qing Dynasty. In the event of defeat, our losses will be even greater. The minister believes that it is time to send people to negotiate peace with the Xinhua Army. Negotiate to solve the problem. In this way, it can also buy us enough time. Minister of Military Aircraft Pan Shien said.

"Now that the Xinhua Army has the upper hand, will they agree to negotiate?" Emperor Daoguang asked. If it were him, he would definitely not agree. This is completely equivalent to raising a tiger.

"Your Majesty, the slave thinks that Master Pan's words are not unreasonable. Although the Xinhua Army is aggressive, their foundation is too thin. After all, they are just a small country of only a few million people. Although Guangdong has been taken, it will take time to digest Guangdong's tens of millions of people. If we take the initiative to negotiate peace, they may accept it when the meeting is good. In this way, we will have more time to prepare militarily so that we can survive this crisis. Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing also said. (To be continued......)
