Chapter 172: The Battle of Changsha is over, and Zeng shaved his head and applied to fight!
Which of my children and grandchildren in the Great Qing Kingdom can take time out at this moment to help me?
After sighing and organizing the language a little, Qianlong explained again: "Xianfeng, take care, anyway, the Qing Dynasty did not perish in your generation, you don't have to worry." ”
Xianfeng: ?
What do you mean?
Xianfeng obviously didn't understand Qianlong's intentions.
Seeing Xianfeng's confused expression, Qianlong couldn't help sighing, and then said: "It's not that I, the ancestor, don't want to help you, it's really because the problem is very big. ”
"On my side, there are also some tricky things, and this time to communicate with the emperor of my Qing Dynasty is also for the sake of ......"
So, Qianlong also told him about the situation on his side.
Although Qianlong was a ruthless emperor, his previous attitude towards Huang Taiji was a little unfriendly, but now that he is facing his juniors, he originally wanted to hang up directly, but he was a little soft-hearted, and couldn't help but say a few more words.
Let's say a few words, I don't want money anyway.
And after hearing Qianlong's words, Xianfeng also fell into a long-lost silence.
There was only one thought in his heart.
If you don't want to help, you won't help, why make up such a nonsense reason?
The Ming Alliance is here to beat you, right?
How can you make it up like that?
Why don't you say that Qin Shi Huang and Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty are here?
Xianfeng half-believed and half-believed Qianlong's words.
After all, this is a bit too advanced, including now, and now Xianfeng feels a little ahead of its time...... He was chatting with Qianlong Ye, it was really unbelievable and unbelievable.
And Qianlong, who also saw a sense of doubt in Xianfeng's eyes, couldn't help but feel a little helpless, but didn't say anything, and was about to hang up the phone casually, when the emperor asked, he heard Xianfeng suddenly say: "Lord Qianlong, although I have never fought foreigners, but Monk Lingqin and Zeng Guofan have an army, which can be regarded as able to fight, especially Zeng Guofan's troops, which have already made a great name......
Speaking of this, Xianfeng took a deep breath and tried to keep himself as calm as possible.
Although he is now beaten by foreigners, it does not affect the fact that he does have an army under his command that can fight.
After hearing Xianfeng's words, Qianlong frowned again.
Monk Grinqin.
Zeng Guofan.
These two names......
Qianlong frowned and said: "How come it is the Mongols and the Han Chinese, and we Manchurians?" Don't we Manchurians have any outstanding heroes? ”
Qianlong was a well-known emperor and Manchu, in the Qianlong Dynasty, as long as you can speak fluent Manchu dialect, then even if you have mediocre qualifications, you can rise to the top and become Qianlong's favorite minister.
Therefore, after hearing these two names spoken by Emperor Xianfeng, he was shocked.
"Uh...... This one. ”
Emperor Xianfeng didn't know how to explain it, anyway, the current situation was indeed like this, and then he hummed and skipped this matter, didn't say much, and then said: "Lord Qianlong, don't talk about this, let's talk about something important, just this matter of assistance." ”
"Okay."
Qianlong sighed.
It doesn't matter anymore.
As long as there are soldiers coming, even the foreigner Qianlong pinched his nose and recognized it.
After thinking of this, Qianlong then spoke hopefully: "When will the soldiers and horses arrive?" ”
Seeing this, Xianfeng immediately said: "Lord Qianlong, I have a request, if you can agree to my request, I will immediately send troops." ”
Qianlong raised his eyebrows: "What requirements?" ”
"I'm going to go too, I'm going to take refuge with you!"
Xianfeng's eyes were full of fear, and he said to Qianlong: "Also, after I pacified this 'Ming Alliance' for you, I hope that Lord Qianlong can send troops to help me fight foreigners!" ”
Qianlong originally thought it was a big deal, but he didn't expect it to be like this? So without the slightest hesitation, he immediately nodded and said, "No problem, I promised you!" ”
"Okay, I'll clean up and come right away!"
Xianfeng was overjoyed, and then a pop-up window appeared in front of him.
[You have agreed to Aisin Jueluo Hongli's request for assistance, please select your army.] 】
In front of him, an army that could be chosen immediately appeared.
Seeing this, Xianfeng did not hesitate to select more than 30,000 people from Monk Greenqin and nearly 50,000 soldiers and horses from the Hunan army of Zeng Guofan.
Of course, these are all talking about their own lineage.
In the course of the campaign, the troops that Seng Lingqin was able to command were nearly 200,000, while the peak army commanded by Zeng Guofan was more than 300,000.
However, if these 500,000 people are transferred away, then there is no need to mix up with the Xianfeng Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is still making trouble in the south, and if these 50,000 people are withdrawn, there are Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang who can maintain stability, anyway, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is basically a grasshopper after the autumn, and there is no problem if he dies two years later.
No matter how bad it is, sign a treaty with foreigners and let foreigners help you out?
Although Emperor Xianfeng has decided to take refuge in the Qianlong Dynasty, after all, it is also his own world, and Emperor Xianfeng is still not too embarrassed to take refuge in the bottom of the kettle.
After the selection, Emperor Xianfeng chose himself again, thought about it, and brought his favorite concubine Yi Guifei (that is, Cixi) with him.
After all the operations were completed, Emperor Xianfeng took a deep breath, smiled, and ended the conversation with Qianlong.
He still had half an hour to supply the operation, and half an hour later, he took the 80,000 elites to help Qianlong.
Emperor Xianfeng was so-called the spring breeze and horseshoe disease, immediately cleared his throat, and said with full anger: "Everyone, Aiqing listens to the order!" ”
His voice doesn't look like the emperor who will die in half a year.
The other ministers could see the scene of Xianfeng and Qianlong chatting, they were all stupid, and after hearing Emperor Xianfeng's words, they woke up like a dream and bowed down one after another.
"The eldest son of the emperor is filial piety and loyalty, righteous and courageous, but he can supervise the country on behalf of me, and send Zaiyuan, Duanhua, Jingshou, Sushun, Mu Yin, Kuangyuan, Du Han, and Jiao Youying to assist and praise all government affairs."
Xianfeng's heart has already drifted to the Qianlong Dynasty now, and he has no intention of being here, so he did not hesitate to let the emperor's eldest son supervise the country, and by the way, he set up the 'Eight Ministers of Gu Ming', and let them discuss it with the prison country.
In history, after Xianfeng's death, it was arranged like this.
It's a pity that the gold content of his eight ministers is a bit low, and the level is not in place, Cixi launched the 'Xinyou Coup', took the supreme power of the empire, and has been listening to the government since then......
What? What is the emperor's eldest son, Zaichun, that is, Emperor Tongzhi, doing?
Tongzhi is only six years old, Cixi is his own mother, what can he do?
After arranging everything, Emperor Xianfeng was full of confidence and felt extremely relaxed.
Okay, go to the Qianlong Dynasty for refuge, all this mess in the Xianfeng Dynasty has nothing to do with me.
"Let's go!"
With the selection of Emperor Xianfeng, due to the defeat in the Battle of Bali Bridge, the Monk Greenqin, who led the army to rest and recuperate, and the Zeng State Domain, who was stationed on the front line and planned to fight to Nanjing in one go, and slaughtered the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, suddenly received the same news.
[You have been selected by Emperor Xianfeng Aixin Jueluo Yixu, and you will go to aid the Qianlong Dynasty in half an hour, please prepare in advance. 】
Monk Greenqin and Zeng Guofan: "Huh? ”
Both were stunned at the same time.
Monk Greenqin was in a much more relaxed mood, he had never beaten foreigners, and it was just right to go somewhere else.
Zeng Guofan, on the other hand, was stunned.
He has already suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, now let me go?
No matter what the two of them thought, they couldn't reverse Emperor Xianfeng's will, but they saw Zeng Guofan react immediately, summoned his fourth brother Zeng Guoquan, and ordered: "Yuan Fu, don't go, you stay in place of me, command the rest of the 200,000 troops, you must discuss with Hu, Li, Zuo, Luo and other generals, don't attack rashly, fight steadily, within five years, you will be flat and long-haired!" ”
He was loyal to the Qing Dynasty, and although he had a heavy army and was about to leave, he had to do the final work!
I once shaved my head and applied to fight!
……
"Bang, bang, bang!"
The sudden sound of cannons was like firecrackers, roaring noisily before dawn, and the firelight tore through the entire dawn, like a warning before the impermanence of black and white.
The sound of artillery fire was continuous, causing Chen Huizu, the governor of Huguang in the Qing Dynasty, to be very tormented and tormented, and he couldn't help but scold: "Isn't this thief's artillery inexhaustible? It's been half a night, why are you still frying! ”
The sound of bullets came and went, and the shouts of killing were loud and loud.
In fact, the first layer of Changsha's city wall has long been demolished, and Chen Huizu was loyal to the Qing Dynasty and had already built many sections of the city wall, blocking the Ming army layer by layer, swearing to protect Changsha and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
The Qing army in Changsha has 100,000 people, and in Chen Huizu's opinion, it can last at least a month!
"How's the front-line battle report?!"
Chen Huizu couldn't help asking, looking very nervous.
Hearing the Governor's question, the arrested correspondent immediately shook his head and said to Chen Huizu: "My lord, I don't know!" The Jingzhou staff general just withdrew not long ago, it is said that the damage was heavy, and the team of Zhao General and Liu staff general has been on top, but the Ming army's artillery is too fierce to stop it at all! ”
"Let Chu Ruone, the chief soldier of Yongzhou, lead the troops to the south of the city, and he must hold it, the south of the city is a dangerous place for our army, and there must be no mistakes!" Chen Huizu shouted.
"Yes!"
Under the transfer, Chu Ruone, the chief soldier of Yongzhou, urgently led 8,000 green battalion soldiers to the front line to rush to help, but when Chu Ruone just arrived at the front line, he found that the black pressure of the Ming army had rushed up.
"Kill!"
"Raise your gun, shoot!"
“……”
Accompanied by a round of shooting in the form of a queue of shots, in an instant, the forward of Chu Ruone, who was caught off guard, suffered heavy casualties.
"Ahhh My hands, my hands! ”
The Qing soldiers, whose palms were directly blown off, wailed, hid behind the broken wall and roared, and at the same time as the roar, several shells also fell into the city wall, and the center bloomed in an instant!
An adjutant general on the side looked frightened, he was splashed with blood, and there was even flesh and blood on his body, he couldn't help but panic for a while, and shouted: "General, the firepower of the Ming army is too fierce!" They're rushing up again, what are we going to do?! ”
Chu Ruone, the chief soldier of Yongzhou Town, who had just been ordered to come, was now pale, and his intestines were all repentant, but there was no way but to take a deep breath and shout: "Brothers, for the sake of the Qing Dynasty and the emperor, give me a stand!" ”
After that, Chu Ruone was also ruthless, and shouted loudly: "Hold the position, each brother will receive three taels of silver!" Kill a thief and reward five taels of silver! The victim will be rewarded with one hundred and fifty taels of silver! ”
After hearing that there was silver, the Qing army, who was still in a panic, immediately became ruthless, condescending, holding the musket in their hands, and immediately resisted, I don't know what age the cannon also began to roar, so the battle lasted for half an hour, and the Ming army retreated one after another.
They turned out to hold their ground.
This made Chu Ruone breathe a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sit on the ground, and the whole person was stupid.
"Count the numbers!"
With the order of the Yongzhou General Army, Chu Ruone soon got the accurate number.
In less than two hours after coming to the front line, his brother had already suffered more than 3,000 casualties, which made Chu Ruone startled.
"Damn, when did Lao Tzu bring the elite? The casualties were so serious, and they didn't flee? What a miracle! ”
Chu Ruone was puzzled, but he realized it when he looked around.
The scene was a little chaotic, and it was quite difficult for the defenders to break and escape.
Just when Chu Ruone took a deep breath and felt gloomy for the future, he suddenly found that at some point, there were a lot more ...... in the ruins of this broken wall Paper.
"Huh?"
Looking at this paper, Chu Ruone picked up one casually, and then was shocked!
It's a letter of persuasion!
This persuasion book has pictures and texts, it seems to take care of a lot of unreadable soldiers in the Qing court, and the above clearly shows the scene of the Ming Dynasty attacking all the way and conquering all the way, and Chu Ruone has read the book, can understand the above persuasion, and was immediately shocked.
"Millions of soldiers, thousands of generals?!"
Chu Ruone didn't know what to say, he only felt a little frightened, and at the bottom, there was a picture scroll of 'surrender with this persuasion, you can eat enough and receive silver'.
It's broken.
Chu Ruone was stunned, and then looked up and found that many of his subordinates had secretly hidden the paper, including some middle and lower-level officers.
Chu Ruone swallowed his saliva, and quietly hid the piece of paper, intending to raise his hand and surrender when he couldn't stand it.
However, just as Chu Ruone was thinking about this and resting, he suddenly heard a burst of gunfire in Changsha City, causing a commotion.
Chu Ruone didn't know why, and soon encountered a rout who escaped, and hurriedly grabbed the rout and asked, "What's the matter, what's wrong in the city?" ”
"The Governor assigned the Yichang General Soldiers to defend the East City, but the Yichang General Soldiers did not do it, the Governor killed the General Soldiers, and the three battalions of Yichang directly reversed! We're attacking the Governor's Palace! The Yunyang General Army, the Pacification General Army, and the Changsha Staff General all participated in this rehabilitation, and they didn't know who was a loyal minister and who was a thief, and it was already a mess! ”
The rout took a breath and made things clear.
And Chu Ruone was already dumbfounded, and only reacted after a long time, shouting: "Quick, quickly send someone to find the Ming army, saying that I, Chu Ruone, want to raise righteousness!" Brothers, cut off your braids, follow me into Changsha City, and capture Chen Huizu alive! ”
Although he was still fighting against the Ming army in the last second, it did not affect his return to the Ming Dynasty in the next second.
Subsequently, Chu Ruone did not hesitate, directly to the Changsha city that was already in flames of war, not long after, Huguang Governor Chen Huizu committed suicide in the Provisional Governor's Palace, and the Ming flag fluttered in Changsha City.
I still owe a watch!
