Blame all these rebels outside the city! A few days ago, the people who escaped from Yuezhou said that the whole family and the city of the prefect of Yuezhou were killed, and the Taiping army was angry and angry, blocked the prefect's yamen, piled up firewood, and burned everything in the mansion to the ground, including my Yun'er.

After Jiang Qi heard the news, he fell to the ground, fell unconscious for a while, struggled to get up, tightly grasped the purse embroidered with clouds in his hand, and registered at the registration points of several prefects to recruit young people to help defend the city.

The horns of the rebels in the distance whined, according to what the veterans of the green battalion said, the rebels are about to attack, the veterans on the wall shouted and called Qingzhuang to boil oil, some prepared flints, some prepared wood, some prepared boulders, and the veterans who commanded Jiang Qi shouted and shouted Jiang Qi to go over, and when Jiang Qi passed, he gave him a dark iron ruler, and told him to command his team of young men to prepare the boulders, and wait for the rebels to go up the ladder and smash them down. Jiang Qi took the iron ruler and waved it, feeling that it was about the same weight as the shovel he was doing as a plasterer, and he just took advantage of it.

Rain-like arrows shot at Wuchang City shining in the morning sun, Hubei Governor Chang Dachun wore a full set of official uniforms, foundation soap boots, and a flower feather on his head, sitting on the female wall with a solemn expression, and the attendants on the side held a shield to block the cold arrows that were shot, and the arrows were shot on the shield and clanged, Chang Dachun was also immovable, and there was a black paulownia coffin behind him!

Chang Dachun listened to the agitated horn from the Taiping Army, twisted his beard and smiled, waved his hand and said: "Pass the order, today this official is on this city gate tower, watching how the monarchs kill the enemy in blood, and protect the tens of millions of families behind him and this Wuchang City!" If the thief does not retreat, the official will not return to the house, if the city is broken," Chang Dachun narrowed his eyes, "The official has placed the coffin here, if the city is broken, the official and the city will die!" ”

"Yes!"

After a rain of arrows that lasted for about a cup of tea, the tone of the Taiping army's horn changed, and it became agitated, and there was a noise in the Taiping army, and a group of small Taiping soldiers rushed up the ladder, and Mao Liu was in it.

In a depression along the river in Hanyang Mansion, Wang Jinxiu was closing his eyes on the boat, surrounded by saltpeter, sulfur, gunpowder and other flammable and explosive materials, and Wang Jinxiu did not seem to care.

"Report! Lord Commander, the spies in Hanshuikou in front reported that Hong Cheng had set up two pontoon bridges between Hanyang and Wuchang, and had begun to attack Wuchang today! "The chief soldier came to report back.

"Got it, tell the spies to keep an eye on the news, and if the situation changes, come back immediately and tell this seat!"

"Wow!"

Wang Jinxiu still had her eyes closed, and the words in her mouth were low except for herself, and the fragmentary voices were all swept into the surging Han water under the boat.

"Now.... It's not time yet. ”

"It's not time yet!" Yang Xiuqing, the left auxiliary army division of the Taiping Army and the king of the East, said categorically in the handsome tent of Wanshou Palace.

"Although the pontoon bridge has been erected, it is far from the time when all the troops are invested, although the Hubei Navy Division is weak, but we have come all the way, and we have not seen the ships of the half-driving sailors! Maybe this old man is waiting for us to cut off the beard when we attack the city with all our might! Pass the order down, all the subordinate departments along the river, besiege the rear of Wuchang and strengthen patrols, so that no one takes advantage of our back road! Hanyang Hankou division of troops waiting for my order, not allowed to move lightly, waiting for me to capture Wuchang City in one go, so that the old horseman will not be able to use any of his followers! ”

"Yes, Strategist!"

"Kill!"

The boy soldiers of the Taiping Army were so fierce and fearless of death, on the morning of the 14th, only a few charges, they almost climbed to the head of Wuchang City, Jiang Qi saw that the veteran who took care of himself was shot in the chest by a cold arrow and lay unconscious on the ground, he was originally trembling and hiding behind the battlements, he plucked up his courage, picked up a blood-stained shield beside him, got up to block the flying arrows, pointed at the strong man who was trembling and lying on the ground with his head in his hands, and ordered sharply: "Get up quickly, if the city is broken, you will not have any good fruit to eat!" Throw the stone at the person, and a few of you will pour the oil down immediately when it is boiled, and you will light the fire, and when they pour the oil down, you will immediately drop the torch! "The strong man who had lost his command became orderly, and methodically poured down the sharp weapons that made people anxious at the risk of sporadic cold arrows.

Beijing, Forbidden City, Chuxiu Palace, Fengguang Room.

The snow outside has been sprinkled for a few days, it has stopped, the sun is shining warmly on the thick white snow, the red walls and yellow tiles are particularly gorgeous, the eunuch Tang Wufu, the chief eunuch of Chuxiu Palace, stands under the eaves, and directs a few little eunuchs to sweep the snow quietly, since his master has sealed Lan Concubine for the first time, and then the emperor has to come over every day regardless of whether he is resting in the Yangxin Palace, he always has to come over every day, call back the people who are waiting, close the door of the palace and what Lan Concubine Niangniang muttered, Tang Wufu is too lazy to guess what the emperor and Lan Concubine are discussing, is it nonsense outside, said that Concubine Lan interfered in political affairs, he only knew one thing clearly, that is, every time the emperor came in gloomily, he went out with a smile on his face, which was a good thing!

Our Lan Concubine's ability is really extraordinary! Tang Wufu shook his head and was amazed in his heart, he was also on the side of the Internal Affairs Office, he went to the Internal Affairs Office to receive the monthly example, and the steward of the Internal Affairs Office also got up to greet him, this was placed in the past, which official would get up to greet this eunuch with incomplete five bodies? No, he sent a new smart, clever and obedient little eunuch for his own use.

Now the discerning people in the palace can see that this Lan Concubine Niangniang is the most favored and the most trusted by the emperor, but the emperor has not yet established the queen of the middle palace? Tang Wufu's eyes rolled, his mind was no longer on the matter of sprinkling and sweeping at all, but all placed in the Fengguang room and the emperor's own master who placed Go on the throne, Tang Wufu decided, when he was done on an errand, he would go to Baoling Palace to worship the Great Compassion Nanhai Guanyin Bodhisattva there, if Lan Concubine Niangniang had Lin'er, this Chuxiu Palace would be able to become the queen's bedroom! My old Tang has rightfully become the chief manager of the queen's palace!

Tang Wufu was dreaming beautifully, looking at the snow all over the ground and smiling, and in a blink of an eye he saw An Qian coming over with an octagonal mahogany box, he hurriedly greeted him and asked, "An Qian, why don't you ask the little palace maid to hold this object, how tired it is to hold it yourself!" ”

"It's the hibiscus crisp and gem hard candy that Concubine Lan wanted, and a few oranges saved in the autumn," Anqian said, "Just now the little palace maid helped me take it, and when I got here," Anqian lowered her voice, "It's not that I'm afraid that those newcomers will be unreliable and spread the things that our mother and the emperor are talking about, then it's not good!" ”

"It's very much like this, Niangniang has already said it, Chuxiu Palace can't go out and talk nonsense about the emperor, come, I'll help you help," Tang Wufu pounded his head like a green onion, and took the box carved with the pattern of Wanfu and longevity.

An Qian stroked the clothes on her body, and the two talked as they walked, "How is your nephew now?" ”
