Chapter 96: Anqing was broken, and King Gong was refuted

Introduction: The day Zhou Tianjue returned to the west was when Anqing fell, and the Anhui provincial city changed its surname to Hong.

Jiang Futai was loyal to the country, and the Fu Fan Division supervised the army and fled, crying bitterly in the matter to explain the reason.

Wang Xiaoxi was in the middle of the dispatch, Hu Yihuang ran Anhui, and Lai Hanying commanded the land and water armies to open up a new area in Huguang.

Jiang Zhongyuan was lonely and could not scream, and galloped back to Hanyang from Guangtun to rescue Wuchang.

The Council of Ministers, King Gong weighed the pros and cons, and recommended the talents to the current saints.

Emperor Xianfeng has no owner of the six gods, and it is clear that he has "lost his mind and gone crazy".

An urgent document flew into the palace, and Xianfeng's eyes blurred......

Yuan Jiasan saw that Zhou Tianjue's eyes were no longer moving, and his whole body stopped trembling, so he immediately stood up, reached out and probed Zhou Tianjue's snort, knowing that he had passed away. He hurriedly asked his own soldiers to pass on the people immediately, and came in to change Zhou Tianjue's clothes and make a bed. He flew out and first bowed Zhou Tianjue's widow away, and then sent people to deliver letters to the battalions.

The Taiping army besieged Anqing, and Yuan Jiasan, together with Zhou Tianjue's younger brother, mourned the defeated general Zhou Tianjue in the Yingzhou Wang Market. After the event, Zhou Tianjue's younger brother escorted his brother's coffin back to the center, trained each battalion, and temporarily handed over Yuan Jia's three pipe belts. The brother was buried in a hurry, and Zhou Tianjue's brother rushed back to the camp of the king market. This Zhou Guan band flew back to the camp like this, waiting for the arrival of the imperial court's holy decree. As soon as he saw Zhou Guan brought back to the camp, Yuan Jiasan had no choice but to hand over military affairs. Because when he was still mourning Zhou Tianjue, the regiment trained the battalions, and it was already known that the old marshal had left a will, and he would ask the court to allow this Zhou Guan to take over the regimental camp. This is naturally the case if the circumferential pipe belt is spread out early.

Yuan Jiasan handed over the camp affairs to Zhou Guan in a timely manner, because he did not want the regimental camp to have infighting.

But after Zhou Guan brought back to the camp, although he received three urgent letters from Jiang Wenqing in a row, he did not leave the camp to help Anqing, he wanted to wait for Jiang Wenqing to be killed by the Taiping army, and live a good life as a governor. In his opinion, in addition to Jiang Wenqing's Fubiao, there are many people in Anhui. Jiang Wenqing lost the city and died, except for him Lao Zhou as the governor, everyone else was not qualified. Zhou Tianjue's younger brother regarded himself as extremely important at this time. For several nights, Zhou Guandao shouted in his sleep: "Who is the master of Anhui's ups and downs?" I'm old Zhou, too! ”

The holy decree finally came to the king's market before Anqing was broken.

The messenger summoned Yuan Jiasan, Zhou Guandao, and all the officers in charge of the regiment and battalion to the big tent of the Chinese army, and then read out the decree.

The decree is preceded by clichés and empty words. What "deep mourning", "according to the governor's regulations", etc., wrote a lot of useless praise.

Zhou Guandao and Yuan Jiasan knelt until their kneecaps were sore, and their hands were numb, so they could be regarded as looking forward to the theme: "According to the request of Zhou Tianjue's testament, the regiment is now training each battalion, and the military department will temporarily bring Yuan Jiasan to the middle of the matter." ”

Before Zhou Guandao could finish listening to the holy decree, he screamed and fainted to the ground, and it took a long time to wake up.

After Zhou Guandao woke up, he pointed at Yuan Jia and scolded: "Yuan Wuqiao, you are really too bold!" How dare you tamper with my brother's testament! My brother is leaving, and you are the only one by his side, and he must have been killed by you, a wolf-hearted thing! I want to explain everything to Jiang Futai! ”

Yuan Jiasan shouted: "The holy purpose is this, you dare to believe it!" Get out of here! ”

After Zhou Guan brought it back to the camp, he immediately wrote a quick letter to Jiang Wenqing, the governor of Anhui, saying that the cause of death of the handsome brother was unknown, and asked Futai to play the Ming Shengshang, and send someone to Wang Shizaar as soon as possible to find out the exact cause of his brother's death. Yunyun.

The fighting in the provincial capital is blazing, but the rear is fighting for power. Jiang Wenqing was almost mad.

But the clever Yuan Jiasan, at this time, had ordered all battalions to press Anqing. Only the two battalions of the Zhou pipe belt did not move at all.

Knowing that Yuan Jiasan rushed here, Jiang Wenqing celebrated with his hands. thought that as long as Yuan Jiasan arrived, An Qing would be able to be saved.

Jiang Wenqing miscalculated again this time.

Yuan Jia led the army, advanced during the day, and returned to the original station at night.

Jiang Wenqing was almost blind, and he didn't expect reinforcements.

"The big disadvantage of today is that the soldiers are not in harmony, and they cannot save each other in defeat," "The battalion is out of the team, and this battalion stands by and watches, or laughs." If you want to appease the thief, you can get it. ”

Zeng Guofan's words to Wang Zhu have been most fully verified in Anhui.

Ten days later, the Taiping army broke the city of Anqing. Governor Jiang Wenqing was desperate and jumped to his death, and the political envoy Fuji led the remnants of the army to flee from the north gate.

Knowing that the provincial capital had fallen, Jiang Futai had been killed in battle, and the governor of Fu Fan Tai led the remnants of the defeated army to flee here, Yuan Jiasan hurriedly led the army to meet him. After walking for an hour, he was in the same place with the Fuji Club.

Seeing Fuji, Yuan Jiasan was the first to ask: "Where is Futai?" Where is Futai? The lower officials hurried and hurried, but they still fell behind, and the lower officials deserved to die! ”

Fu Ji snorted angrily and said, "Now that I think about it, Jiang Futai has already met Emperor Xuanzongcheng. As early as half a month ago, Futai had ordered the regiment to train all battalions, day and night, and rushed to the provincial capital. You keep saying that you are hurrying and hurrying, but how did you just get here? ”

Yuan Jiasan knelt down on both knees, and said while kowtowing: "Fantai Rongyu, the lower officials walked all the way, fought all the way with Changmao, and finally broke through the encirclement!" The brother who hated the handsome, the lower official and the long hair were inseparable, but he only watched from the sidelines. If he didn't save it, he shouldn't have brought the two battalions he was in charge of back to the king's market while the fog was rising at night! ,, and still spend time there! Annoying! Annoying! ”

Before Jiang Wenqing died, he handed over the governor's seal and the king's order banner to Fuji to transfer to the imperial court.

Fu Ji now listened to Yuan Jiasan's crying, how could he distinguish the authenticity of the fake, and ordered an alternate Dao, with the king's order flag, to lead a battalion of men and horses, and rushed to the king's market overnight.

The alternate Dao arrived at the big tent of the Chinese army in the Zhou Guan Belt of the Wang Market, summoned the sentry commander and the brave heads above, and asked the king to order, and a rope tied up the Zhou Guan belt, and couldn't help but say that the soldiers escorted him out of the big tent is a knife.

Zhou Guan didn't know what crime he had committed until he died.

Anqing was lost, and Jiang Wenqing was killed. While the Taiping army showed its strength in Anhui, it also divided its troops to attack Hubei.

It should be admitted that the Taiping army made a clever move.

Which one of you commanded the Taiping Army in Anhui? It is the 8,000-year-old Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. There are three generals under the command of King Xiaoxi, one is Hu Yihuang, the prime minister of Chunguanzheng, the other is Lai Hanying, the deputy prime minister of Xiaguan, and the other is Lin Fengxiang, the deputy prime minister of Tianguan.

King Xiao Xi is no longer the king of the West at the time of Yong'an. Xiao Chaogui at the time of Yong'an, although he was tall and quite burly, his face was black, and his body was full of stench and charcoal. The current Xiao Chaogui, because he wipes his face with human milk every day, there is no trace of charcoal burning. Not only is there no smell, but the whole body is full of fragrance. In addition, wrapped in silk silk, riding a sedan chair during the day and riding a woman at night, even if you eat, you also have to be fed by a woman kneeling. With this kind of life, it is difficult not to be blessed.

Wang Xiaoxi was in the middle of the dispatch, Hu Yihuang ran Anhui, Lai Hanying commanded the land and water armies to open up a new area in Huguang, and Lin Fengxiang entered Anhui from Chuzhou and Linhuai Pass.

In Anhui, the provincial city of Anqing was lost, and Lu Xianji and Jiang Wenqing were killed one after another; On the Hubei side, Zhang Liangji suffered a major defeat in Tianjia Town, and Jiang Zhongyuan galloped from Guangtun to Hanyang to rescue Wuchang.

When the news reached the capital, the Manchu Dynasty lost its color and panicked.

Xianfeng urgently summoned all the ministers in charge of Beijing to the palace to discuss countermeasures. As soon as the minister in charge arrived at the palace, he quickly made a noise. Qi Liaozao advocated the transfer of Wu Wenrong to Anhui to preside over the overall situation, on the grounds that Wu Wenrong was old and serious. Wen Qing was the first to object, believing that the change of the imperial court's decree was very easy to make the overseers have nothing to do. Prince Zheng Duanhua proposed that Fuji take over the governorship of Anhui. Duanhua has always had a good impression of Fuji, and every time Fuji enters Beijing, he sends money to Duanhua. Fu Ji's ability to become a provincial feudal division is directly related to Duanhua's protection. Wang Ye's words, Qi Liaozao and Wen Qing did not dare to raise objections. But Prince Gong, who rarely spoke, put forward his own opinion.

Prince Gong said: "Your Majesty, the situation in Anhui today is directly related to the incompetence of the commanders. Jiang Wenqing can be the governor of the peace, but the governor in wartime is not his strength; Lu Xianji is a scholar, and it is best to talk about it; Fu Ji is mediocre, he can only lead troops, can not coordinate the overall situation, with him acting governor, the situation in Anhui cannot be improved, it will only get worse and worse. ”

As soon as Xianfeng heard Prince Gong say this, he was clearly accusing him of improper employment. Unable to help but be angry, Tengdi jumped up, like an aggressive monkey, pointed at Prince Gong with his finger and asked, "Who do you say the governor of Anhui should let go?" ”

Prince Gong said: "The emperor is tolerant, and the minister thinks that if you want to stabilize the situation in Anhui, you must first recover the provincial capital Anqing. ”

Xianfeng suppressed his anger and asked, "You go on!" ”

Prince Gong knew that Xianfeng was fighting with him, so he paused for a moment before saying, "Anhui is now in urgent need of a senior soldier to supervise military affairs. The minister dared to think that with Jiang Zhongyuan patrolling Anhui, the situation in the province might be improved. ”

Xianfeng said angrily: "Zhang Liangji lost in Tianjia Town, Jiang Zhongyuan is now back to Hubei, how can he patrol Anhui?" I now ask you, if I take you to Anhui to supervise the army, can you guarantee to recover Anqing within ten days? ”

As soon as King Gong heard this, he first scolded in his heart: "His mouth is full of stinky farts", and then he replied: "Your Majesty, the minister does not dare to guarantee that Anqing will be recovered within ten days." ”

Xianfeng sneered and said: "Even you can't guarantee that you will recover Anqing as scheduled, how can Jiang Zhongyuan guarantee it?" Jiang Zhongyuan's bravery, with him patrolling Anhui, I don't worry! The king's ministers are not at ease! ”

Prince Gong took a step back and said no more.

The scholar Yucheng took a step forward at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the slave thinks that Qinglin has been in battle for a long time, if he goes to patrol Anhui, maybe," Yucheng stopped talking, didn't say yes, didn't say no. Yucheng's characteristic is that he always speaks half-heartedly.

Prince Yi Zaiyuan immediately said: "Your Majesty, the ministers dare to think that in such a situation in Anhui, it is necessary to send a capable member of the battle formation like Qinglin to supervise the troops!" Qinglin is known for his prudence in the use of soldiers. When he arrived in Anhui, he would soon be able to turn the situation around in the shortest possible time. Please ask the emperor to take a clear look. ”

Wen Qing shook his head and whispered, "Qinglin doesn't understand military affairs. He walked in one place, lost in another, and no one could match him. ”

Mu Yin, the Minister of Military Aircraft, said at this time: "Although Zhou Tianjue is tired of losing battles, he still has a set of recruiting courage and surrendering. Mu Yin actually said nonsense.

Qi Liaozao said at this time: "Your Majesty, Weichen suddenly remembered someone, how about Xiang Rong going to governor Anhui?" Xiang Rong was killed from the guns. Xiang Rong has the courage to use soldiers, and he will be able to get twice the result with half the effort when he patrols Anhui. ”

Peng Yunzhang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Military Aircraft, said at this time: "Your Majesty, Weichen thinks that it is naturally appropriate to visit Anhui with Xiang Rong. But what about the Jiangnan camp? Peng Yunzhang is equivalent to voting against Qi Liaozao.

Xianfeng frowned and said, "At this time, Xiang Rong can't leave the Jiangnan camp. Jiangnan and Jiangbei, the two big battalions, are the foundation of our great clean-up and suppression of bandits and chaos. Not a single soldier could move. ”

Seeing Xianfeng say this, the kings and ministers immediately kept silent.

At this time, an urgent recital was quickly passed outside.

The eunuch who handed over the chapter knelt down at the foot of the steps, held the chapter in his hand and said: "Your Majesty, the eight hundred miles from Wuchang are stepping up!" ”

The eunuch on duty standing next to him hurriedly took the chapter, put his hands on the dragon book case, and then respectfully retreated to his original position.

The kings and ministers saw that Xianfeng opened the fold very carefully, and after reading a few lines, their faces changed greatly, and they said, "Ah? "Yes. (End of chapter)
