At the same time, in the early morning of November 13, 695 in the continental calendar, the capital of Cangzhou, the southwest of Yanyun County---- was personally commanded by the Taiping Sect Master You Daofang, who was sitting here, nearly 100,000 urban poor and landless peasants suddenly poured into the streets of Fucheng under the instigation and planning and instigation of thousands of Taiping Christians, besieged the city and guarded the city, and Huo Jinchang, the city guard of Cangzhou City, fled in embarrassment, and ran more than 300 miles in one night to Beiping Mansion, the capital of Yanyun County, before he woke up。 Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

On November 14, Tu Yifei, director of the interior of Qinghe Prefecture in Beiyuan County, said that he had an important matter to discuss and lured the city guard and the administrative director of Qinghe Prefecture to his own mansion, beheaded them, and announced that he would take over the entire Qinghe Mansion and accept the leadership of the Taiping Sect.

On November 16, a large-scale Taiping uprising took place in Anyuan, Lulong, and Yulin Prefectures, including the capital of Beiyuan County, and the uprisings in these three prefectures were even more ferocious, especially in Anyuan and Yulin Prefectures, which were unprecedented in scale.

On November 18, the city of Anyuan fell without the ability to resist, before that, three wings of the garrison of a division had been destroyed in the battle, and the soldiers of the remaining two wings surrendered when the Taiping army came to the city, and nearly 1,000 imperial officials from Tang Degui, the county guard of Beiyuan County, surrendered. At the same time, the Imperial Yulin Mansion City Guard Xiang Qianqiu led his troops to surrender to the rapidly advancing Taiping Army Yu Zhiyong. At this point, only the most remote Lulong Mansion at the western end of the five prefectures of Beiyuan County had not yet completely fallen, where the garrison and the Taiping army fought fiercely, and the battle situation was in a stalemate.

On November 19th, the great master of the Taiping Sect, You Daofang, who arrived in Anyuan Mansion City, announced the official establishment of the Taiping Holy Kingdom in the largest Anyuan Square in Anyuan City, temporarily fixed the capital of Anyuan, proclaimed himself the Taiping Holy King, designated the Taiping Religion as the state religion, and the army was officially named the Holy Sect Army, You Daofang also announced that he would take it as his mission to save all the suffering people in the empire and the dire situation, and vowed to let the people of the Holy Kingdom live a happy and happy life, in order to achieve this goal, it was first necessary to overthrow the decadent and declining rule of the Situ family in the empire.

When it was said, the political power of the Taiping Holy Kingdom was also established, the Holy King set up two ministers of civil and military, the minister of culture was in charge of government affairs, the minister of military affairs was in charge of military affairs, the post of minister of culture was held by Miao Mingkun, who was in charge of economic and financial affairs of the former Taiping Sect, a close friend of You Daofang, and Lan Bailin, the second disciple of You Daofang, served as the deputy minister of literature, the position of military minister was naturally held by Bo Jinchen, and the deputy was held by Xu Wenzhe, the eldest disciple of You Daofang. Foreign affairs and other affairs, the military minister has several generals, responsible for commanding the Holy Religious Army, because Bo Jinchen is in command in Kansai, the responsibility of the Military Prime Minister's Mansion is mainly borne by Xu Wenzhe, he also serves as the general of the Holy Religious Army, and he has the most elite 100,000 troops in the Holy Religious Army. At this point, the central power of the Taiping Holy Kingdom had taken shape.

On November 20, the Taiping Sect rebel army in Yunzhong Province, another major prefecture in Yanyun County---- near Anyuan Province, joined forces with the Holy Sect army reinforced from Anyuan, and the inside and outside joined forces to conquer Yunzhong Fu City, and all the officials of Yunzhong Province surrendered.

In the area under its control, the Taiping Holy State also followed the example of the empire and appointed a large number of local officials, gradually improving the political institutions at all levels, in order to maintain stability in the region, You Daofang also made an exception to appoint several imperial officials to important positions, especially the former imperial Yulin city guard Xiang Qianqiu was appointed as the Yulin Mansion (equivalent to the position of the imperial city guard), which caused a lot of controversy within the church, but was suppressed by You Daofang with personal prestige. This appointment also caused a sensation in the entire Taiping Sect-controlled area, and some landlords and gentry were secretly considering whether the existence and development of this Taiping Holy Kingdom would really have the possibility of replacing the empire.

Prior to this, the Poole Kingdom had dispatched almost all the elite troops in the country, with a total of 360,000 troops from five corps to suppress the northern border of the empire, forcing the first and second armies of the empire and several reading divisions to gather on the northern border to confront the army of the Poole Kingdom.

It wasn't until the Taiping uprising in Beiyuan County and Yanyun that the commander of the Northern Military Region of the empire realized that the Taiping Sect and the Poole Kingdom had joined forces to play a set of tricks to turn the east and the west to divert the tiger from the mountain, but although it was a trick, it was also at the cost of strength, if the first and second armies of the empire and other subordinate troops did not quickly press, the army of the Poole Kingdom could break through the imperial border defense line and drive straight down, and no one could say what would happen at that time. However, this gave great convenience to the Taiping Sect, and there was not a single regular army division stationed in Beiyuan County, and there was only one Reading Army division stationed in the capital Beiping Prefecture in Yanyun County, which was completely unable to cope with this changing situation.

And when the Taiping Army completely controlled the entire Beiyuan County, especially Yulin and Anyuan, the Second Army of the Empire was actually facing the dangerous situation of being attacked by the Holy Sect Army and the Poole Army, and what was even more worrying was that as soon as the two provinces were controlled, the Second Army of the Empire lost its logistical supplies, which made the more than 100,000 Emperor [***] teams who were confronting the Poole Army how to maintain? As a last resort, after learning the exact information about the loss of Yasuwon and Yulin and the danger of Yunzhong Mansion, the Second Army of the Empire quickly moved eastward through Yunzhong Mansion to the territory of Beiping Prefecture to garrison, completely abandoning the defense line of Beiyuan County. Unsurprisingly, Poole's army did not take advantage of the situation to move south, but followed eastward, continuing to maintain enormous military pressure on the empire on the border.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains changed in an instant, and the dark clouds of the Taiping Sect suddenly permeated the vast areas in the north and west of the empire, and Heshuo County, which was in the middle of the gap, was affected by this, and the situation in the territory became more and more severe. All of these things come to an end. Some local officials are worried that it will lead to the intensification of contradictions and even cause even greater disasters, so they adopt the means of propaganda and education to calm the people; while others are afraid that appeasement and accommodation will make the mob more rampant and adopt strong repression; or they will change to the second type first, and then change to the second type, and the officials at all levels and levels are all worried that the matter will become bigger, and it will echo the Taiping Sect in the south and north, and that is really a big matter.

The Taiping Sect's uprising in the north spread throughout the empire almost within a few days, whether it was in the middle of the court, or in front of the house, whether it was a dignitary or a rural man, they all met and talked about how bad the situation in the north was, how the rebel army was not afraid of death, and how the emperor's [***] team was vulnerable to collapse at the touch of a blow.

The atmosphere in Yanjing is even more tense, the passers-by walking in the streets and alleys are not only much less than in the past, but also much faster, the clothes wrapped around their bodies are also tighter, coming and going in a hurry, from time to time there are heavily armed imperial gendarmes and Janissaries patrolling by, the shops are also closed early, the merchants are particularly concerned about the war on the front line, after all, this is not a joke, the area controlled by the rebels is less than three hundred miles away from Yanjing, and it seems that it can reach Yanjing in one night. The city is full of panic, and many wealthy families are already considering whether to transfer their assets to Jiangnan or Donghai, which are still far from the north and west, and they can get up and flee immediately at the slightest disturbance. Many people with relatives from other places have also started to contact each other in case of emergency.

In the Qinzheng Hall of the Imperial Palace, Situ Mingyue's face sitting on the imperial chair can no longer be described as gloomy, there are many more wrinkles on her blue cheeks, and her eye circles are slightly dark, obviously because of poor sleep, only those cold eyes prove that he is still quite conscious, and he has tried his best to sarcastically and sarcastically, and even mixed with one or two foul words, which really can't make people believe that it is from the mouth of His Majesty the Emperor in front of him, but at this moment, the ministers and princes have already all knelt on the ground, and they don't dare to raise their heads to accept the scolding from His Majesty the Emperor's head and face like hail and stones。

There was not a trace of sound in the main hall, except for the heavy wheezing sound of His Majesty the Emperor could be heard clearly, there was no sound at all, and all the ministers were trembling, for fear of angering His Majesty the Emperor and inviting death. Prior to this, the two officials of the General Administration who were responsible for inspecting the officials of Beiyuan County had been directly dragged out and beheaded, and Duke Du Wen, the minister of supervision and the brother of the queen mother, who was responsible for the supervision of officials, was also given fifty canes on the spot, dozens of rods down, and he saw that there was less air in and more air out, but His Majesty the emperor still did not allow the imperial doctor to treat him, saying that if he wanted to be treated, he would also be treated in the prison. Even the queen mother, who has always been known for her virtue, was reprimanded and scolded mercilessly by His Majesty, and all the ministers felt that this storm would not know when it would blow.

Situ Mingyue, who was furious, was barely relieved after issuing several edicts in a row, but none of the ministers dared to raise their heads and take a look. Vicious eyes roamed the hall, as if to find the next object of hatred, today's court ministers came very neatly, no one was absent, everyone knew that today's court meeting was sad, but no one dared to ask for leave, even if there was a sick person, they had to take sick to the court.

Seeing that the ministers who were usually able to speak well and thought they were humerus were cowering and kneeling on the ground at this time, and no one dared to raise their heads, Situ Mingyue felt an indescribable annoyance and anger in his heart, as if he was about to explode, but there was an unspeakable discomfort in his chest, and he just stood up, only to feel dizzy, his eyes were dark, and he fell crooked on the side of the royal chair.

"Father!" "Your Majesty", seeing that His Majesty the Emperor fainted, the courtiers in the palace were like chickens that had exploded their nests, in a mess, and they were at a loss, or the Minister of the Interior, Lu Wenfu, reacted first, and ordered the guards to go to the imperial doctor immediately, and at the same time quickly ordered someone to send His Majesty the Emperor to the palace to rest.

He Zhiqiu walked out of the hall with the ministers in a dazed manner, His Majesty the Emperor had been sent back to the palace, and the imperial doctor also arrived as quickly as possible, and immediately entered the palace for diagnosis. After a period of noisy, the ministers received a notice from the palace to adjourn the meeting for the time being and go back to their homes.

Could it be that the heavens are going to destroy my Tang River? At this moment, He Zhiqiu's heart was at a loss, although he was kneeling down under His Highness, he had been thinking about how to deal with the situation in front of him, which could be said to be extremely critical, but His Majesty the Emperor actually fell, so that there was no backbone in the court, where could we talk about what situation was deployed, and how should this be good? If time is delayed again, the situation may deteriorate, and at that time, it may really become out of control.

Ji people have their own celestial phenomena, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will recover tomorrow? He Zhiqiu can only think like this, I hope so.

The sudden change in the situation made Wu Feng feel caught off guard, the accumulation of more than ten years of the Taiping Sect was completely released in just a few days, in just eight days, in addition to the Lulong Mansion in the four provinces of the Northern Plains, the other four prefectures and the two prefectures in the west of Yanyun County fell into the hands of the Taiping Sect, it can be said that with a flick of a finger, the empire's rule in most of the western and northern regions was wiped out, and the Taiping Holy Kingdom in its place also appeared on the stage.

It was only at this time that Wu Feng realized that he still underestimated the strength of the Taiping Sect hidden under the water, and the cooperation of the Poole Kingdom, including the Kamans' re-offensive on the battlefield of Gerook, made Wu Feng realize how deep the collusion between the three parties was. And the Taiping Sect organized an army of hundreds of thousands in a few days, which also made Wu Feng suddenly change color against the power of religion, and secretly thought about how to deal with the aggressive situation.

Lulong Mansion must not fall into the hands of the Taiping Sect, fortunately, Ling Tianfang and Fielding have already made contact, although they were still caught off guard by the sudden Taiping Sect uprising, but the combat effectiveness of the Lulong Mansion garrison is far from being comparable to other provinces, and the battle is extremely fierce, although the Taiping Sect's army is several times larger than the garrison of Lulong Mansion, but the garrison still insists on withstanding the enemy's attack, although it is very difficult. However, the huge pressure of the Kamans in the north made Ling Tianfang and Phil Ding, who had originally intended to send reinforcements, not dare to act rashly, and had to ask for help from Wufeng, who was far to the south.

Wu Feng, who learned the news, did not have time to verify, the rescue situation was like fighting a fire, and if there was a slight delay, I was afraid that the fire would burn Lulong Mansion to ashes, and on the one hand, he urgently ordered the 3rd Infantry Division of Reading Li stationed in Yangmakou to quickly cut a shortcut through the deep hill area across Bonan Longdong and Lulong Mansion, and immediately reinforced Lu Long's garrison, and at the same time ordered Long to take charge of the overall defense of Partridge Pass instead of himself, and he and Mu Lige led the 3rd Division of the Northwest Army Corps composed of Gao Yue soldiers directly north through the Liupan Mountains from the other road, and the two armies started to advance side by side, and at the same time entered Lulong Mansion from the southeast and southeast。
