In January, Beijing has entered autumn, and the cold wind blowing from the Siberian plateau has made the whole city enter winter. The shops on the street are closed, and they look very depressed. After the outbreak of the war, the pessimistic atmosphere in Beijing became more and more intense, and people who had a little wealth fled to the countryside. Some people who had access to the country fled to the Chinese Empire with their family wealth, intending to wait until the end of the war before returning. It is clear that they are not optimistic about the Manchus at all. Especially in the early days of the war, the continuous defeat of the Qing army aggravated the psychology of these people. The entire Manchu Qing Dynasty seems to have reached the final step.

Of course, the Manchu rulers did not see it that way, they were not dead set on it, and they wanted to make a final struggle. Moreover, they are not without opportunities. Although the Qing army has lost more than 200,000 troops, they still have more than 70 or nearly 800,000 troops, which is still much more than the strength of the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire. The Central Plains War, which is about to begin now, is the last resort for the Qing army. As long as this war is won, the Manchus will be able to turn the tables. Of course, if they lose, they will lose completely.

, heeded the chief of staff, the British adviser to Lieutenant General Albert, and had already gathered all the main forces of the Qing army in the Central Plains, preparing for a decisive battle with the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire. The big war. It is directly related to the life and death of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. Although, there is a lot of risk involved, however. The Manchus were not without chances. Their strength is almost twice that of the 6th Army of the Chinese Empire, and more importantly, they still have 200,000 cavalry that the Chinese Empire does not have, which are the key factors for them to defeat the enemy. At least, British adviser Lieutenant General Albert believes. The Qing army still has a great chance of winning. , they all believed it and began to actively prepare for this large-scale decisive battle.

The current emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. , nothing more than a nominal ruler. When he succeeded to the throne, he was only 12 years old. Therefore, Wen Qingcai, the minister of Xi Junji, proposed to set up a regent...... In the blink of an eye. It's been three years. In these three years, Emperor Xianfeng was just a puppet. In the eyes of Emperor Xianfeng, those two people were clearly Dolgon and Aobai. It's just that he is not Emperor Kangxi, and he doesn't have that ability. However, this did not prevent Emperor Xianfeng from aspiring to eradicate the traitorous party like Emperor Kangxi. Revival of the Qing Dynasty.

The place where Emperor Xianfeng lived was the Qianqing Palace, where the fourteen emperors of the Ming Dynasty and the Shunzhi and Kangxi brothers of the Qing Dynasty were born. They all use this place as a dormitory. From this, we can see the ambition of Emperor Xianfeng. Now Emperor Xianfeng is fifteen years old, and according to the results of the deliberations of the ministers of military aircraft at the beginning, when he was an adult. In other words, there is still a year before he will be able to pro-government. However, a year will pass soon, and it is not so easy for Emperor Xianfeng to truly grasp the power of the country.

First of all, I would definitely not hand over power so willingly. Wen Qing, Minister of Military Machinery, said that as long as his power and interests are guaranteed, he may not be able to win over ...... After being defeated by the Chinese Empire, Emperor Daoguang imprisoned him. Finally, he had the opportunity to pay, and he also grasped the actual power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, how could he give it up. If Emperor Xianfeng really wants to compete for power, he will directly kill Emperor Xianfeng. Although they are uncles and nephews, have there been fewer cases of cannibalism in the royal family since ancient times in order to compete for the right to inherit the throne? Not to mention uncles and nephews, even fathers and sons often turn against each other. In the past few years, he has always wanted to become the real emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. It can be seen from this that Emperor Xianfeng's life was not easy.

Secondly, and more importantly. The war between the Manchus and the Chinese Empire was ongoing, and if the Manchus lost this war, the whole country would no longer exist, and Emperor Xianfeng would have no possibility of pro-government. When the time comes, he will become a king of the dead country.

Mu Zhang'a, Minister of Military Aircraft, and Pan Shien, Minister of Military Aircraft, are two of the five ministers of military aircraft. Although the two of them are among the ministers of military aircraft, they belong to the two high-ranking and powerful people. However, the departments they are now managing are just some unimportant departments. This made the two of them very dissatisfied, and even more resentful. I think that at the beginning, when Emperor Daoguang was still there, Mu Zhang'a was the minister of Xi's military aircraft, and Pan Shien was also the minister reused by Emperor Daoguang. After the death of Emperor Daoguang, everything changed. The two of them have also become irrelevant people.

Mu Zhang'a and Pan Shien also have a task, that is, to teach Emperor Xianfeng's schoolwork. This was requested by the two of them on their own initiative, and the purpose was nothing more than to find another way out after being excluded. tried to have a good relationship with Emperor Xianfeng, and when Emperor Xianfeng came into power in the future, the two of them could take advantage of this to move to a higher position. In this regard,. They didn't care, though. Now the main power of the Manchus is in their hands, and the most important military power is also firmly controlled by them. Therefore, they are not afraid of any wind and waves at all. Even after Emperor Xianfeng came of age, they could find a way to continue to control the power of the Manchus. In this day and age, military power is the most important thing. If he didn't master the army, Emperor Xianfeng could only be their puppet.

"Master Mu, Master Pan, how is the situation now? Am I really defeated by those rebels? Emperor Xianfeng asked innocently. Now he is fifteen years old and about to reach adulthood. In the past three years, it has been a complete torment for him. Next year will be an adult, and it will be the most important year for him.

"Your Majesty, now the rebels do have the advantage. However, I don't have no chance at all. His Royal Highness the Prince Regent is seeking a decisive battle with the rebels in the Central Plains, and we still have an army of millions in the Qing Dynasty, and we still have more troops than the rebels. Mu Zhang'a, Minister of Military Aircraft, said.

"But, Master Mu, how did I hear that even the land of Longxing in the Great Qing Dynasty was lost?" Emperor Xianfeng asked. However, Emperor Xianfeng is not ignorant of this. After all, he was still the titular emperor of the Manchu Qing dynasty. There are still many people who want to send charcoal in the snow, and when Emperor Xianfeng is in power, they can take advantage of this to soar.

"Your Majesty, there is no way to give up the Northeast for the time being. The opposition bandits are very strong, and we can only temporarily abandon the northeast and concentrate all our efforts on fighting the bandits for the Guannei. As long as Kannai wins the victory, it will be easy to retake the Northeast! Mu Zhang'a said.

"Humph! Master Mu, do you still want to help them speak now? Emperor Xianfeng said with some displeasure.

"Your Majesty, the slave doesn't dare, the slave just talks about things. Even if you want to be pro-government, you have to keep the Qing Dynasty. If the Qing Dynasty is gone, what's the point of being pro-government? Mu Zhang'a said. After all, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty was destroyed, Emperor Xianfeng would become the king of the fallen country, and it would not matter if he was pro-government or not.

"Master Mu, Master Pan. You say, is there any possibility of reconciliation between us and the rebels? Emperor Xianfeng suddenly asked.

Mu Zhang'a and Pan Shien both looked at each other, not knowing why Emperor Xianfeng had such thoughts.

As if he didn't see the expressions of the two of them, Emperor Xianfeng continued: "If we can negotiate peace with the rebels, even if we cede a few more provinces to the rebels, it will be worth it. Judging from the current war situation, it is very unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty. If it fails, the Qing Dynasty will perish. If the fight continues, the Qing Dynasty will be forced to a dead end. ”

"But Your Majesty, now it's not whether we want to fight or not, but whether the rebels give us a chance! The rebels are menacing this time, in order to destroy the Qing Dynasty! Minister of Military Aircraft Pan Shien said.

"The rebels now have the upper hand, but we are not without the possibility of reconciliation with them. For example, we ceded the provinces along the Yangtze River to them. Or, just exit the Central Plains. Emperor Xianfeng said.

"Your Majesty, how can this work? Without the Central Plains, how can I continue in the Qing Dynasty! Mu Zhang'a was shocked.

"Humph! If we are defeated, will those rebels let us Manchurians go? If the land of the Central Plains can be exchanged for the lives of millions of Manchurians, what's the harm? Emperor Shizu said that if the Han people could not tolerate us, we would retreat to the outside of the Guan. That's the only way we can survive. We can negotiate with the rebels, and if they are willing to let us go back to Guanwai, we will return everything to them. In this case, it is better than being killed by the rebels! Emperor Xianfeng said. Of course, he had another condition, that is, the Chinese Empire would support him in establishing a Manchu state in the northeast, a country in which he could call the shots. Even then, it was much better than being a puppet now.

Mu Zhang'a and Pan Shien were both stunned, they never thought that Emperor Xianfeng would have such an idea. (To be continued!u.)
