In July and August, the weather in Beijing is hot, as if it is a steamer. The willow branches on the side of the road also hung low, as if they had lost their strength. Most of the roads in Beijing are dirt roads, and there are often horse-drawn carriages passing by or riding horses, which will kick up large clouds of dust and make the pedestrians on the road miserable. Of course, most of the people who had carriages or could ride horses were powerful or well-off, and the pedestrians were afraid to be angry but did not dare to speak. What's more, now that the south of the Yangtze River has fallen, in order to stabilize the capital, the imperial court strictly ordered the spread of the news of the new country in the south, otherwise it will be treated as a chaotic party. Under the high pressure of the Manchu government, the vast number of people shut up. However, many people were happy to see the Manchu Dynasty overthrown by the Xinhua State in their hearts.

"Da-da, da-da!" The sound of horses' hooves came from afar, and a group of cavalry entered the city of Beijing. The people of Beijing City are not surprised by these cavalry. Every three to five days, such a group of cavalry would come from the east. It is said that these cavalrymen came from Tianjinwei, and they were the cavalry responsible for delivering the latest news from the south to the capital.

After the war between the Manchus and Xinhua, although they were repeatedly defeated, it also made them pay more attention to the relevant information of Xinhua. The Manchus sent people to collect intelligence on the new country. Especially after Britain entered the war, the Manchus thought that the time had come for the salted fish to turn over. On the battlefield, the Manchu army was beaten by the Xinhua army, and they could only put their hopes on the British. If the British can defeat the Xinhua army. Then they may be able to take the opportunity to recover the territories occupied by the Xinhua army. Emperor Daoguang, who had been ill for a long time, ordered the Qing army, especially the new army of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, to prepare for the defeat of the Xinhua army by the British army. The Qing army began to launch a counteroffensive south of the Yangtze River. For this reason, the information from Nanyang is also continuously sent to Beijing.

The Minister of Military Aircraft, Wen Qing and Sai Shang'a, who were sent to Singapore to be in charge of negotiations with Xinhua Kingdom, were very satisfied with the news they brought back. The two were also reused, and were appointed by Emperor Daoguang to be in charge of the war with Xinhua. Emperor Daoguang was already terminally ill, and he had always relied on rare medicinal materials to hang his life, and he no longer had much energy to deal with state affairs. Wen Qing and Sai Shanga are two. He has a lot of power, but he is also conscientious, and he painstakingly repairs the Manchu ship, which is leaking everywhere. The British had become the last straw for the Manchus. Only the British defeated the Xinhua army. They have a chance to live.

"My lord, the latest news from Nanyang has arrived." A Manchu official sent an urgent report to Wen Qing.

Wen Qing hurriedly opened the emergency report and read it carefully. Sezanne was also watching from the sidelines. Wen Qing's status is a little higher than him. He was actually just Wen Qing's deputy. But even so, it's a high authority.

Wen Qing's face suddenly turned pale, as if he had seen something frightened. The content of this urgent report is that the British Navy has been completely annihilated by the Xinhua Navy, and the Xinhua Army has begun to attack Singapore. Wen Qing has been out of the country for a long time, and he clearly knows what it means once the British Navy is completely annihilated. The British wanted to defeat the new Chinese state. It's no longer possible. It was even more impossible for the Manchus to recover the territory south of the Yangtze River. Even. The Manchus had to find ways to prevent the further expansion of the Xinhua army to the north. Otherwise, the territory north of the Yangtze River may not be able to be saved.

"Master Wen, what's wrong? Has something gone wrong in the South Seas? Saishana hurriedly asked. Seeing Wen Qing's face, which had always been unfazed, changed drastically, he knew that something bad might have happened.

"Lord Sai, see for yourself!" Wen Qing handed the urgent report to Saishan, who hurriedly opened it and read it. However, soon his face became even worse than Wen Qing's.

"Lord Wen, the British were actually defeated by the Xinhua Army? How is this possible? Didn't the British swear to us that they would be able to renew the country? Now it seems that those British people are not reliable. What if Xinhua continued to attack us after defeating the British? Sezanne said in horror.

"Sai-sama, how do I know what to do?" Wen Qing is also a little ownerless. Such a big thing is obviously beyond his ability. The defeat of the British by Xinhua has undoubtedly become the last straw that broke the camel's back.

"Lord Sai, let's go see the emperor. Such a major event has to be decided by the emperor. Wen Qing said. Although the two of them are now ordered to take full charge of the affairs of the new country. However, now the two are out of line. If it is not handled well, the two will even be implicated. Therefore, it is better to hand over the decision-making power to Emperor Daoguang, so that their responsibility will be much smaller.

"But, the emperor's illness?" Sezanne hesitated. Emperor Daoguang has long been unable to handle the government, and his current state is even worse. If you get too much stimulation, you will die.

"I know. But is there any other way we can do it? Wen Qing said.

Saishana was stunned for a moment, and he also knew very well that now that the matter was urgent, the two of them were not capable of making decisions about the fate of the Qing Dynasty. If there is a loss caused by this, the two of them will definitely not be able to eat and walk around.

"Okay, let's go see the emperor. Do you want to inform the other ministers of military aircraft? Sezanne said.

"Inform them all! Everyone is the pillar of the court, and everyone has to know about it. Wen Qing said.

Soon a small official went to inform a few ministers of military aircraft, and an hour later, Wen Qingcai led the ministers of military aircraft into the palace to meet Emperor Daoguang.

"The slave (minister) knocks to see His Majesty, long live Long live Long live!" Several ministers of military aircraft knelt down in front of Emperor Daoguang's sickbed and saluted Emperor Daoguang. Everyone's heads were buried low, as if they didn't dare to look at Emperor Daoguang's appearance.

The current Daoguang Emperor, thin skin and bones, with two deep-set eye sockets, is like a ghost. Emperor Daoguang can't even eat now, and every day the ginseng juice boiled by the imperial doctor in the palace renews his life. However, even if this is the case, it is estimated that it will not last long. After all, Emperor Daoguang has been holding out until now, and he has been cut off.

The reason why Emperor Daoguang has been able to survive until now is entirely because of his own beliefs. As the emperor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and he is also a person who is determined to be a good emperor who is diligent and loves the people, although he does not have much talent, and the Manchu Qing Dynasty has not been able to go to glory under his leadership, but is declining more and more. However, his heart has always been strong. He believed that under his leadership, the Manchus would not perish. Even though the Xinhua country is now powerful, he believes that the Manchu Qing will definitely be the final victor.

"Let's get flat!" Emperor Daoguang's hoarse voice came, looking weak.

"Emperor Xie!" After the people thanked him, they stood with their hands down.

"Tell me something. Did there be news from Nanyang that the British had defeated Xinhua? Emperor Daoguang held his sick body and asked. After saying this, he began to gasp for air, and his chest was like a bellows, as if it would take a lot of effort to say this.

"Your Majesty, it's true that there's news from Nanyang." Wen Qing said stubbornly. He knew that this news would be a huge blow to Emperor Daoguang. But, again, he had to say.

Emperor Daoguang opened his cloudy eyes and stared at Wen Qing tightly, which made him feel a huge pressure even more.

"Your Majesty, there is news from Nanyang. The British Navy lost the Great War with the Xinhua Navy! Wen Qing said.

"What? The British failed? Emperor Daoguang seemed to be a little incredulous.

Several other ministers of military aircraft also had a lot of discussions. They weren't told about it before they came.

"Lord Wen, is this true? Were the British really defeated by the Xinhua Kingdom? Yucheng, Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of War, asked anxiously. He is the secretary of the military department, and he is more concerned about military affairs.

"Lord Wen, the British Navy has been defeated, what about their Army? Does the British still have a chance to turn the tables? ”

"Wen Qing, you sue sù me! The British Navy was defeated, could they still win this war? Emperor Daoguang asked.

Wen Qing hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Your Majesty, in the South Seas, the navy is fundamental. After the defeat of the British Navy, it will be difficult for them to defeat the Xinhua Army, at most they can only remain undefeated. According to the minions, the British army is estimated to be unable to defeat the Xinhua army. The strength of Xinhua's army has already shocked the world. Without the navy, the British Army was trapped in Singapore, and it is estimated that it would not last long. ”

After Emperor Daoguang listened to Wen Xian's words, his eyes suddenly dimmed. The belief that has always supported him to live is to defeat Xinhuaguo. It's just that he put his hope on the British. Now that the British have been defeated, the faith in his heart has been extinguished.

"Ahem!" Emperor Daoguang began to cough, and then, the whole person began to gasp, as if he couldn't breathe.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" The ministers of military aircraft all shouted in panic.

"Doctor! Hurry up and announce that the Imperial Doctor is coming! ”

Soon, the Imperial Physician came, but when he examined Emperor Daoguang, he shook his head. Obviously, Emperor Daoguang has reached the point where he has run out of oil and dried up, and he has no power to return to the sky.

At 11:24 a.m. on August 7, 1843, Emperor Daoguang died. This sixth emperor since the entry of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, because of the appearance of Long Yufei, died more than 6 years earlier than in history! (To be continued......)
