(Congratulations to Xiao Chenyu for becoming the new leader of this book, thank you)

I heard that people are at the last minute, and time passes very slowly. It may even feel like you will spend another life.

From Weng Tongshu, it seems to have seen the clues.

Before he died, his gaze at Su Yu became extremely complicated and ever-changing.

First of all, it was extremely horrified.

Let him think about it eight hundred times again, and he couldn't imagine that Su Yu would use this method to solve it.

As an enemy, he once put himself in Su Yu's shoes and thought about the problem, and found that it was completely unsolvable.

Dexing'a went to Yangzhou to grab the military power, and Su Yu had no solution.

He went to Jiujiang to be the prefect with the book, and stabbed him in the back, and Su Yu was also helpless.

He even fantasized about what means Su Yu would use to fight and what methods he would use to get rid of his Weng Tongshu.

I really didn't expect that Su Yao's method was so simple.

Physical Annihilation!

In the history of the Qing Dynasty, which feudal official dared to do this?

This...... This is a rebellion.

Kill two chincha at once? What do you Su Yu think?

Don't you want the future?

You, Su Yu, are so smart, why would you do this?

My Weng Tongshu is about to die, and before I die, am I not qualified enough to listen to you tell the truth?

Don't let me die blind!

Facing Weng Tongshu's eyes, Su Yu frowned slightly.

Do you have a broken heart? Why isn't this knife dead?

Then he drew his dagger and aimed it a little more.

Then, with a sharp stab, he stabbed it in.

"Ah......" Weng Tongshu made a strange sound in his throat.

Then, finally, completely dead.

It is full of infinite unwillingness, reluctance, and fear.

Even, there are begging.

……………………………………………………

Hong Ren stepped forward and slapped Su Lu with his palm.

I don't think he should have killed people with his own hands.

"You are also a person with children, so try not to do it yourself in the future." Hong Ren left the road, then took the dagger in Su Yu's hand, and gently cut off Weng Tongshu's head.

Then he grabbed De Xing'a's braid and gently cut it off, cutting off his head as well.

Your technique is too neat.

Does Cooks Solve Cows?

"Now like this, you have to hurry up when you marry a concubine, and the brothers of the Taiping Army in the future are on your side, and they will have a greater sense of belonging." Hong Renli lifted his two heads, shook them slightly, and shook off the remaining blood.

"If you do this today, Lin Qirong and Zeng Tianyang must be very happy, and you have proved that we are the ones all the way." As Hong Renli spoke, he kicked the remaining bodies of Weng Tongshu and Dexing'a outside the cabin.

At this time on the shore!

Hundreds of headless corpses, neatly arranged.

Hundreds of soldiers are digging an incomparably huge pit.

Almost, digging big enough.

Then he threw these hundreds of headless corpses down as well.

Doused with dozens or hundreds of barrels of oil.

Then a torch was thrown.

Suddenly, the fire soared into the sky!

And the people of the Taiping Army are using lime to put a person's head in nitrous, and then neatly arrange it in the box.

Including the bodies of Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu, there was no left, and they were burned by fire.

This fire is soaring, and it still attracts people.

A group of cavalrymen came, about a dozen people.

I don't know if it's from Huai'an or Yangzhou.

I found it all from afar.

And Su Yu and Zeng Tian's people, more than 1,000 people, are silent.

In the firelight, they faintly looked towards the dozen or so cavalrymen.

The dozen or so cavalrymen seemed to be overwhelmed.

I didn't dare to move.

This scene will never be forgotten in their lives.

In particular, many soldiers with disheveled hats were seriously holding their heads and placing them in large boxes one by one.

I don't know what the fire burned, but it should be countless corpses.

In fear, the dozen or so Qing cavalry even forgot to escape.

Hong Ren saw it and waved his hand.

Dozens of soldiers raised their rifles and aimed at the cavalry.

Suddenly, these dozen Qing soldiers fled frantically as if they had just woken up from a dream!

And Hong Renli did not give the order to shoot after all.

These dozen or so Qing cavalrymen wept with joy for the rest of their lives.

We don't see, we don't see anything.

Thank you for sparing your life.

Thank you for sparing your life!

According to common sense, all these witnesses should be killed.

But it doesn't matter, there are these witnesses, and even better.

After all, there are more than 1,000 people here, all dressed as Taiping soldiers.

The Qing army and the Taiping army, the best thing to distinguish is hair.

Everyone, even did not hurry.

After the flames were extinguished, hundreds of soldiers raised earth and buried the 500 headless bodies.

Then all get on the boat, turn around, and return to Yangzhou.

…………………………………………………………

Aboard.

"Master Su, this time is a good thing for us." Zeng Tianyang suddenly said: "When we were in Jiujiang before, we would rather commit suicide than surrender to you, because we felt that we were not all the way, but now we feel inexplicably heart-to-heart." ”

Su Yu smiled, raised his glass and said, "Respect the old general." ”

Zeng Tianyang said: "Now Tianjing's side is much better than before, and the Wing King is a little more well-behaved." Lin Qirong, Chen Yucheng, and Li Xiucheng are in charge of the army, and the three of them join forces, and they can suppress Shi Dakai, and they feel that they are thriving. ”

Hong Ren next to him sneered disdainfully.

"Forget it, forget it, don't say these things." Zeng Tianyang said: "Look at their own creation." ”

Then, he took out a bamboo can, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a puff.

"Good stuff, good stuff ......"

Zeng Tianyang said: "You have to send some more, the brothers are very addicted, after eating, especially when going to the toilet, it doesn't stink when you smoke it." ”

Hong Renli left directly.

Su Yu said: "Old general, I will give you a batch of cigarettes, which are for your brothers to smoke." You're big, and it's not good for your body. ”

"Nonsense." Zeng Tianyang said: "After I finished smoking, I felt that people were refreshed, the joint pain was relieved, and the moisture in the body was much better, which is obviously a good thing." ”

Su Yu was speechless for a moment, and it was difficult to explain at once.

"The key thing is that this thing is much easier to smoke than the tobacco in the pipe, it is fragrant and strong, how can you get it."

Su Yu said: "Then do you think this thing is easy to sell?" ”

Zeng Tianyang said: "It's easy to sell, of course it's easy to sell." Even if you ship it, you are guaranteed to sell it well, and Tianjing City lacks everything, but there is no shortage of silver. ”

"However, you can't use bamboo barrels, there are many people in Tianjing who pretend to be powerful, you have to let them have noodles, and they have to sell it more expensive."

Su Yu suddenly laughed and said, "It's fast, it's fast." ”

Then, the two understated.

In the future, a lot of business will have to be done with Tianjing City.

Hong Xiuquan's group of people, how much silver they robbed, they couldn't spend it at all.

And this group of people is very dirty, and they can't open their eyes to something a little better, and they are scrambling to get it.

Su Yu didn't scrape a sum of silver on Hong Xiu's body, and he was sorry for himself.

The flotilla left the canal and headed for Gaoyou Lake.

I am about to return to the river section of Yangzhou, and I have to pass through the camp of Shao Bo Town.

This time!

The patrol ships of the Qing army still came to intercept them.

As is customary, a hundred taels of silver were handed over.

Then, the lazy officer was directly about to be released.

However, an officer on the shore was shocked to find that the ships were actually stained with blood and traces of battle.

"Stop them, stop them."

Then, the Qing troops on the shore rushed over.

"Dangdangdang......"

The bell was rung.

The Qing army in the camp in Shao Bo Town rushed out like a tide.

And at this time!

Zeng Tianyang's ship slammed off its gun jacket and opened fire directly.

Hundreds or thousands of soldiers raised their guns and opened fire.

"Bang ......"

Caught off guard.

The Qing troops on the river were all killed.

The Qing army on the shore was also thrown down in a large area.

And then......

These Qing troops in Shao Bozhen immediately all lay on the ground, hiding behind cover, motionless.

Zeng Tianyang and Su Yao's fleet continued to sail, calmly leaving the Yangzhou section of the river and entering the Yangtze River.

When you get far away, you can't see your back.

Only then did the soldiers on the side of the camp in Shao Bozhen shout: "Enemy attack, enemy attack!" ”

Then, hundreds of people opened fire on the river.

"Bang ......"

It crackled and hit for a quarter of an hour.

Then, the commander of the Shao Bozhen battalion said: "Go to Yangzhou to report the victory, report to Lord Tomin'a, just say that the rebel division is coming, and we have repulsed it, and the casualties are not counted!" ”

The staff next to him said: "My lord, if you can't report the victory, just treat it as if nothing happened." ”

The Lord said, "Why? ”

The staff said: "This group of rebels entered the canal, and there were blood stains everywhere on the boat, who knows what they did?" Let's pretend not to know, lest we set ourselves on fire. ”

…………………………

And General Jiang Ning, the commander of the Jiangbei battalion, Tuo Ming'a, was in turmoil at this time.

He didn't know what to do.

He had already received news from the DPRK and China in advance.

Several bigwigs in the military aircraft department, as well as several princes in the court, all sent him secret envoys to deliver letters.

Su Yu has completely fallen out of favor, and he will be unlucky next.

The emperor sent Weng Tongshu to serve as the prefect of Jiujiang, and the Jiangnan camp would allocate 5,000 soldiers and horses to Weng Tongshu.

Therefore, after Weng Tongshu arrived in Jiujiang, he would fight against Su Yu.

Dexing'a also came, and in the name of the minister of the Qincha, he went south to take Wang Shiqing's new army away and take it to Tianjin to fight Yangyi.

The order from above, let him cooperate with Tomina.

In case Wang Shixin's army rebelled, then the main force of his Jiangbei battalion would be suppressed.

Dexinga's man had not yet arrived, but his handwritten letter had arrived on a clipper.

In his words, he kept calling Tomin a brother.

Not only does he have to do the posture of a brother again, regardless of his previous suspicions.

Weng Tongshu's letter is the same, deeply reviewing his past mistakes, and saying that he will definitely look forward to his brother Ma Shou in the future.

Including Tomina's backers in the capital, letters were also sent.

There's only one content!

Don't get it wrong, learn to take sides.

Su Yu is going to be unlucky, and in a few months at most, he will step down.

Therefore, let Tomin draw a line with Su Yu in time.

And, let him have a good relationship with Dexing Ah and Weng Tongshu.

The most important thing is not to disappoint the emperor.

Tomina is righteous, but his righteousness is also limited, and he cannot exceed the glory and wealth, let alone his net worth.

And now this posture, he has made a decision.

He didn't do anything about Su Yao's downfall.

But if he is close to Su Yu, he will not be either.

Before you know it, draw a line.

Then he will have to make a move and show his political attitude.

Personally go to meet the Chincha fleet.

So, early this morning, as the commander of the Jiangbei camp, Tomin'a took many senior generals and officials of Yangzhou Mansion to the canal wharf to greet the ministers of the Qincha, Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu.

This is also a statement that he supports the emperor all the time.

According to the letter, it was probably this morning.

More than 100 officials were waiting on the entire canal wharf.

In the crowd, there was also Wang Shiqing, the commander of the new army.

He was full of indignation at this time, and when Marshal Su Yu was transiting Yangzhou, no one from the Jiangbei camp and Yangzhou Mansion went to the dock to greet him.

Even when Lord Su Yu walked around the city, no one left the city, not even a few words of greeting.

Now, Lord Su Yu's political enemy, Jiujiang Governor Weng Tongshu, is coming, and the deputy capital of the blue flag, Dexing'a, is coming, but you are pouring out to greet him?

This doesn't mean that there is too much deception, but what is it?

However, officials from the Jiangbei camp and Yangzhou government waited and waited at the pier.

None of the Chincha fleets came.

At this time, not only the Jiangbei camp was waiting.

The Jiangnan camp is also waiting, because the emperor has already come to the secret decree, and before Weng Tongshu goes to Jiujiang, he will first come to the Jiangnan camp to borrow 5,000 troops to help defend Jiujiang.

Nominally, he transferred Su Yu's new army to Tianjin, worried about the emptiness of Jiujiang's defense.

For He Guiqing, Su Yu was already an absolute political enemy at this time.

At the beginning, the two sides still had incense.

However, if the negotiations between He Guiqing and Guangzhou failed, he was half a political enemy.

And now, it's a complete political enemy.

Especially not long ago, there was a conflict between Su Tuo's fleet and He Guiqing's Jinju fleet, and the Bai Fei spacecraft team directly broke into the card and opened fire.

The contradiction between the Jiangxi governor's yamen and the Liangjiang governor was directly made public.

Su Yu's move can be said to have made him, the governor of Liangjiang, lose face.

Therefore, Weng Tongshu wants to go to Jiujiang to fight with Su Yu, and of course he Guiqing fully supports it.

Not only did he come to the Jiangnan camp in person, but he was sure to let Weng Tongshu get 5,000 soldiers and horses as soon as possible. Moreover, he, the governor of Liangjiang, will personally send Weng Tongshu to take office and support Weng Tongshu, the prefect of Jiujiang.

As a result, I waited in the Jiangnan camp until the afternoon, and no one appeared.

He frowned thickly, could it be that Weng Tongshu was still staying in Jiangbei Camp?

………………………………………………

Time keeps ticking.

And the officials of Jiangbei Camp and Yangzhou Mansion led by Tomin A were even more anxious.

Supposedly, it should have arrived a long time ago.

This...... It's afternoon.

There was a lot of talking.

Although everyone had already sent someone to bring wine and food at noon, they were not very hungry.

"Lord Su Yu, this time it's a fall."

"According to this posture, in three or five months at most, another batch of chincha will be ushered in, announcing the removal of the governor of Jiangxi."

"Why bother? It is really not worth it to offend the emperor in order to run a bird factory. ”

"Why didn't the Chincha fleet come? Could it be that Huai'an Mansion is stammering, picking people up first, and staying in Huai'an Mansion for a day before coming back? ”

"No, no, the military situation is like fire, it must have come to Yangzhou first."

"That's right, if you don't get the military power of Su Yu's new army, the court is uneasy, and the minister is only afraid that he can't wait to fly over."

And at this very time!

Several warships came from afar.

Someone on the side of the Jiangbei camp immediately shouted and asked, "Is the Qin sent fleet here?" How far is it going? ”

But the faces of the people on these ships were full of panic and horror.

Before he could get closer, the man on the ship shouted loudly: "My lord, the big thing is not good, the big thing is not good!" ”

"The Chincha fleet has been attacked!"

"The ship is scarred."

"The ship is empty!"

As soon as these words came out, De Xing'a almost couldn't believe his ears at all.

Attacked? Empty?

This, how is this possible?

This, this is in the canal.

The Rebel Diver never goes into the canal.

This is a fleet of hundreds of guards.

Could it be that after the attack, all of them fled? Where did you flee?

"Where? Where is it? Tomina shuddered.

"In the middle of Huai'an and Yangzhou."

Tomina had the heart to ignore nothing and ignore anything.

However, he is the general of Jiangning, the defense of the entire Jiangbei, he is the boss, and this belongs to his accusation.

"Prepare the fleet, prepare the sailors, go and explore the scene!"

"Go and rescue the minister with all your might."

He still didn't believe that someone dared to have the audacity to raid the Qincha fleet.

Is it a mistake on the part of the people below?

…………………………

The next morning!

Tomina led thousands of people to the scene of the ambush.

Most of the ships were hijacked.

The remaining ships, not sunk, swirled around the canal with holes and got stuck somewhere.

That's right, this is the official ship of the Qincha.

The flag above is still there.

Every ship was filled with blood, which showed the fierceness of the battle.

But inside these ships, there was no one inside, not even a corpse.

Where have you gone?

Even if you run away, you should leave a corpse behind.

At this time, Tomina was still glad that perhaps the Chin Cha guards had escaped and hid at this time.

"Here, here, here...... sir," someone suddenly shouted.

"Everybody's here, you, come and see...... Vomit! ”

Tomina led the crowd to see.

Suddenly, the whole person was creepy.

I almost fainted.

I saw that the inside of the dug pit was densely packed with charred corpses.

Lost his head.

Hundreds of them.

This...... This...... Is it all killed?

Oh my God? Oh my God!

Who did this?

Who's so daring?

Do you do it in reverse?

However, why did the rebellion target Weng Tongshu and Dexing?

Besides, how did Fa Rebel know the itinerary of the minister?

After a moment's thought, a name came to mind.

Suddenly, his whole person only felt that the world was spinning.

It's cold all over.

Boundless fear enveloped the whole body.

No, it can't be him.

Is he a madman, and doing such a thing means rebellion.

It means that the whole clan will be killed.

But whoever did it was a big disaster.

After a long while, Tuo Ming'a trembled and said, "Quick, quickly send someone to enter Beijing as fast as possible and return to the Holy Lord!" ”

"The Chincha fleet was attacked, and probably all of them were destroyed."

Then, Tomina couldn't take it anymore and sat down on the ground.

For him, and even for the whole of Jiangbei.

The sky fell!

The sky really collapsed!

……………………………………

Tianjin Battlefield!

Tan Tingxiang, the governor of Zhili, took seven or eight thousand soldiers and horses, and after abandoning Dagukou, he fled desperately.

I've been running away with my head down.

It took a day and a night to run more than 100 miles.

Finally escaped to the city of Tianjin.

Then, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Or is it this kind of big city that can give people a sense of security.

After entering Tianjin, he fell into another kind of uneasiness.

What's next?

Now the emperor is waiting for him to send good news every day.

Now, Tan Tingxiang finally understands Ye Mingchen's situation at that time, and the emperor seems to have an addiction to good news.

Once you send him good news, then send it every day, sending several waves of people a day to urge him.

And it must be good news.

Once the good news is sent at the beginning, then you will not have good news later, or you will not be so happy, then the emperor will be unhappy.

Now what?

Dagu mouth is lost.

Tan Tingxiang racked his brains and thought of various methods.

Attributing the pot to Rong Lu, saying that it was all the fault of his Tianjin New Army, which led to the loss of Dagukou?

No, he Tan Tingxiang is the boss, and he can't escape the main responsibility for the defeat.

Moreover, Tianjin and Beijing are too close, and the emperor has a lot of people here.

I can't hide it.

After many days of fierce fighting, he moved into Tianjin and lured the enemy deeper?

That's not okay!

A moment later, the Admiral Zhili and the Tianjin General Army entered and asked Tan Tingxiang to give orders on how to defend the city of Tianjin.

Tan Tingxiang said: "Our Tianjin is a big city, the city walls are high and thick, and Yangyi only has more than 1,000 army, why can't we fight in?" ”

"When Yangyi attacked Guangzhou, there were tens of thousands of troops."

"Yangyi's naval guns are at sea and can't hit Tianjin City, and only a few ships along the Baihe District can hit Tianjin."

"The emperor's decree is to let me resist for a month and wait for Wang Shiqing's new army to come to help."

"Then, it's the same to stay in Tianjin for a month."

"We have tens of thousands of troops, guarding such a big city as Tianjin, it is impossible not to defend it for a month."

"Since it is said that Su Yu's new army is powerful, then wait for Su Yu's new army."

The governor of Zhili is so negative, let alone the people below.

Next, although the generals at all levels are also armed, their morale is completely different.

When they were in Dagukou, many Qing troops still had a bloody and brave spirit.

But now, just frustrated!

And right now!

There was a screeching bell outside.

Immediately after, the sergeant rushed in.

"Dashuai, it's not good, it's not good!"

"The Yangyi fleet is here."

Tan Tingxiang was shocked.

Is Yangyi crazy? I have just withdrawn to Tianjin City with a large army, and your warship is coming?

Then, Tan Tingxiang climbed the city wall and looked out.

Sure enough, on the White River, it was densely packed with foreign warships. (White River, now known as Haihe River)

They didn't fire first, they kept converging.

Next, the entire city of Tianjin fell into extreme unease.

Countless people are hiding in their homes.

Tens of thousands of soldiers, although they were guarding their positions, were demoralized and terrified.

Western warships on the White River, more and more, more and more.

And then......

Fire again!

"Boom Boom Boom Boom ......"

Historically, Western warships were only bombarded on the outskirts of Tianjin.

At this time, these naval guns were aimed at the city wall of Tianjin, bombarding indiscriminately.

The whole city was in a state of extreme unease.

Bombing almost every half hour!

However, the entire Tianjin garrison planned to only be a shrunken turtle.

Motionless.

And then, something even more terrifying happened.

The marines of the Western Ocean, once again, landed, about two thousand people.

This army appeared outside the city of Tianjin.

At this moment, the panic in Tianjin City reached the extreme.

Just when everyone thought that the Yangyi army was going to officially attack Tianjin.

The British commander only glanced contemptuously at the head of Tianjin.

Then!

The Western warships on the White River actually moved.

However, it is not in the direction of the Bohai Sea.

Instead, it follows the White River and goes all the way up.

This...... Is this going into the city of Beijing?

Further on the White River, it is the Yongding River.

Yongding River, but it leads directly to the capital.

Although, there is a section of the Yongding River that is silted up and impassable.

But Yangyi's small warships can really approach the capital infinitely along the Yongding River.

Then, 2,000 British and French marines continued to march in the direction of the capital along the south bank of the White River, under the protection of warships.

Tan Tingxiang, the governor of Zhili, was creepy.

What does this mean?

This, this is not to fight Tianjin, they are going directly to fight Beijing?

Are foreigners crazy?

But regardless of whether the foreigner is crazy or not, he Tan Tingxiang must be crazy.

Dagukou has fallen, and he Tan Tingxiang may not necessarily die.

Even if the city of Tianjin falls, he will not necessarily die.

But...... If the Yangyi army is allowed to go outside the capital, then he, the governor of Zhili, will die!

At this time, he couldn't care about anything else.

shouted: "Hurry up and send someone to Beijing, send someone to Beijing, and inform the emperor!" ”

…………………………

Note: I slept for more than three hours and got up to code words, so this chapter was written until eleven o'clock.

I can't think of a monthly pass, so let's knock one on the table! Thank you for the monthly pass, I went to sleep.

(End of chapter)
