Inside the city of Hangzhou.

Tens of thousands of Taiping soldiers fell into a special state of calm after experiencing madness.

There was no resistance, extreme obedience, and even numbness like a marionette.

Let you do what you do.

As for the arrangement of these people, Su Yu has not yet decided.

Direct dismissal is unlikely, and this group of people has been in the Taiping Army for a long time, and it is more difficult for them to adapt to normal life.

There is a high probability that Su Yu will arrange for them to mine.

Of course, this kind of work will be very hard and dangerous, but Su Yu will not abuse them, and he will also give them a good reward.

After working for a few years and integrating into the new environment, they will even arrange a family for them.

Of course, what Su Yu wanted most was to integrate them into the new army, because these people had a foundation and high obedience.

But looking at their depressed posture, it seems that they have completely lost their sharpness, and they don't know if they can't stand up.

"Dashuai, catch Shi Da and open it."

………………

In the yamen of the governor of Zhejiang, Su Yu met with Shi Dakai.

"My lord, there are several reports that require your signature." Fu Shanxiang, dressed in a cheongsam, walked in.

In the past few years by Su Yu's side, she has become a little plump, and her figure has become more mature and charming.

The whole person seems to be a lot younger than when he was in Tianjing.

Originally, she had a poignant beauty.

And now she has a subtle and glamorous light.

Beautiful from the inside out, sexy, and even with a strong sense of ambition.

Of course, this kind of ambition is not a pejorative term, but she is trying to show her charm, even the kind with a courtship nature.

Seeing Fu Shanxiang, Shi Dakai couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

All of a sudden, I was a little unrecognizable.

When she was in Tianjing, she was still very beautiful by Yang Xiuqing's side, but she was not so ...... Sexy.

Of course, Shi Dakai didn't know the word, but he had this feeling.

Seeing Shi Dakai, Fu Shanxiang was also slightly stunned, put a few documents on Su Yu's desktop, and left.

In the air, there is only the fragrance she left behind.

Even, as if there are still beautiful traces of phantoms, faded into the air.

Su Yu was also a little speechless in the face of Shi Dakai.

Everything that needs to be said has been said.

"Su Yu, I fell into your hands, I want to kill or chop, listen to everything, but there is only one request." Shi Da opened the way.

Historically, he said the same thing to the officials of the Qing court.

Su Yu found that this winged king has a certain idol baggage.

is obviously ambitious, but he has to deliberately suppress it, showing a posture of being dedicated to heaven and loving soldiers like sons.

Of course, in history, when he faced the Qing court officials, it was appropriate to say this sentence and treat death as home.

can also win the last name behind him, but now it is not necessary to play this play with Su Yao.

Su Yu instinctively wanted to refute the sarcasm, isn't your so-called request just to let me let those captured Taiping soldiers go?

I still need you to say that not only will I not kill them, but I will also arrange a suitable way for them to live.

Takai doesn't need to pretend in front of me.

But at this time, Su Yu didn't bother to bother with him, nor did he bother to hit his last pretense, but cooperated: "You say." ”

Shi Dakai said: "Let go of those captured Taiping soldiers." ”

Su Yu said: "Okay." ”

Then, Su Yu said, "Do you have anything else to say?" ”

Shi Dakai was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking.

In the face of the Qing court in history, Shi Dakai may have been bent on death.

But in the face of Su Yu, does he really want to die?

Not necessarily!

Deep down, he may want to have a place on Su Yu's side.

But......

There really isn't a place for him on Su Yu's side.

After being quiet for a while, Shi Dakai said: "Let's do it, is it the five horses divided into corpses, or Ling Chi is executed?" ”

Su Yu said: "I'll give the Wing King the last dignity, you can go on your own road." ”

Shi Dakai shuddered and said, "Okay, good, good, then thank you Master Su Yu." ”

………………

In order to show respect, Su Yao called Wang Youling, Wang Shiqing, Ma Xinyi, Wang Tianyang and other senior officials to see off Shi Dakai.

Shi Dakai in the crowd held a sword in his hand.

This was his own request, and Su Yu prepared several ways for him to kill himself, including poison.

But Shi Dakai chose to kill himself with a sword, perhaps he thought it would be more heroic.

Take a deep breath.

Shi Da opened his sword around his neck, as if he wanted to say a few bold words.

However, I can't say it.

Gritting his teeth, he slammed into it.

The sharp tenacity cut directly through the arteries in his neck, and blood gushed out.

He fell slowly, his whole body convulsing.

After a while, he died.

Su Yu stepped forward and found that a trace of tears flowed from the corner of his eye, very little, but obviously.

Does he regret it?

should be a little regretful, regretting that he didn't agree to Su Yu's persuasion the last time.

However, there must be no regrets.

In short, this is a very complex emotion.

Su Yu pressed a little hard and closed his eyelids.

"Let's bury it." Su Yu said.

"Yes."

………………

After bathing and changing, Su Yao was wearing loose silk pajamas and was reading a book.

Outside the city, all the armies are regrouping and resting.

Always ready to wait for Su Yu's new orders.

The female champion Fu Shanxiang walked in, holding a pot of Huadiao wine in her hand.

I don't know if it's an illusion, but the cheongsam on her body is tighter at this time, making her figure more concave and provoking.

"Don't drink tea, lest you can't sleep at night." She said softly: "I have warmed this Huadiao wine, and I also put ginger and a little brown sugar." ”

Then, she bent down and gently poured down a bowl.

This bend makes the waist thinner, and the full moon is rounder.

The curves are more exaggerated.

After pouring half a bowl, she picked it up and drank it gently, as if tasting the temperature.

Then, put it on Su Yu's mouth.

Su Yu brought it over and drank it.

"My lord, is the Winged King dead?"

Su Yu said: "Yes." ”

Then he asked, "What kind of memory did that time in Tianjing seem to you?" ”

Fu Shanxiang said: "At first, it was very intense and high-spirited, but then it turned into fear and absurdity. ”

"Ridiculous?" Su Yu wondered.

Fu Shanxiang said: "Yes, a bizarre sense of absurdity, everything is like singing a big opera, full of unreality. ”

Su Yu said: "Your lips are so red? ”

Fu Shanxiang said coquettishly: "I used lipstick. ”

Su Yu said: "It's not rouge, cinnabar?" ”

Fu Shanxiang said coquettishly: "No, it's lipstick, isn't it the drawings and raw material recipes you gave?" Some of them were built in the lab, and we robbed them all. ”

"Is it pretty? Do you like it? Fu Shanxiang turned his head and asked.

Su Yu said: "Why use the big red one instead of the dark red one?" ”

Fu Shanxiang said: "I seem too restrained, I want to be more public." ”

Su Yu stretched out his hand and gently brushed her lips.

Her red lips gently bit Su Yu's fingers.

Su Yu swiped lightly, a slight touch, and a slight sense of electricity.

"My lord, I'm by your side, how beautiful can I rank? How far can you rank? Fu Shanxiang asked.

Then, she gently leaned down on the table.

Suddenly, the curve under the waist is more rounded and more charming.

Su Yu said: "What, are you, the female champion, also thinking about such a superficial question?" ”

Fu Shanxiang said hoarsely: "The slave is originally a very superficial woman. ”

Su Yu gently lifted the hem of the cheongsam and pulled down the inner child with erotic lines inside.

A burst of snow white.

It's so white that your eyes are shaking.

It shook slightly, and there was a jelly-like touch.

Su Yu thought for a while and said, "In terms of beauty, you are probably between second and third, and in terms of figure, you are also between second and third." ”

As he spoke, he slowly entered.

Fu Shanxiang slowly cooperated and said, "Really? ”

………………………………

Suzhou battlefield!

After several days and nights of fierce fighting.

The city was littered with corpses, and the walls were completely blackened.

The blood stains had turned dark red.

However, the city of Suzhou is still not broken.

The brave Hunan army climbed the city wall again and again, but was pushed back again and again by the Taiping army.

Both armies were brave to the extreme.

The hatred for both sides is also to the extreme.

Li Shixian took the lead again and again, frantically killing every Hunan army.

In this battle, the 5,000-Ocean Lance Team showed relatively high combat effectiveness at the beginning, but it soon failed.

Mercenaries, after all, are mercenaries.

Even if it is a foreign mercenary, it can only fight a downwind war.

In the face of the almost crazy Taiping army, their later combat effectiveness was no longer as good as that of the Hunan army.

Inside the tent.

Li Hongzhang looked at a battle report, and the whole person fell into solemnity.

He has a battle report in his hand, and there is a war report on the table.

One is from Hangzhou and the other is from Jinan.

Both sides won.

What's next for him?

Where should the Hunan army go?

"This is the most beneficial for our Hunan army, isn't it?" The third brother Li Hezhang said: "The best situation is that a civil war breaks out in the center of the imperial court. ”

Staff member Zhou Fu said: "And the best thing is that Su Yu defeated the main force of the rebel army, and in the battle of Hangzhou, the rebel lost half of the army, and from now on in the south, the rebel can no longer pose a threat to us." ”

Li Hezhang said: "The Russians were attacked and had to retreat from Heilongjiang, but they still occupied the city of Aihui. Hearing that it was attacked by pirates this time, the Russian emperor was furious and accelerated the pace of increasing troops, and a steady stream of troops came to the border of Qing and Russia. ”

"If a civil war breaks out between Su Yu and the Eight Banners, the Russians support the Eight Banners Princes, the British support Su Yao, and the Americans support our Hunan army, this is the world's three points."

Li Hongzhang said: "At that time, the world will be divided, is this what you want?" ”

Li Hezhang said: "Second brother, we are all absolutely our own people, so don't hide it." ”

"The most important thing now is our power, our future, our destiny, isn't it?"

……………………

Jinan Battlefield.

It's even more tragic here.

Countless corpses, piled up.

The corpse of a man, the corpse of a warhorse.

The city wall of Jinan was blown down alive.

The gates were also blown away.

The fire not far away has never been extinguished, and it is burning human corpses.

Inside the city, there were bonfires everywhere.

After the great victory, the Qing court army was eating meat and drinking wine.

So many war horses died, and the horse meat could not be eaten.

And so many pigs and sheep were seized.

Monk Lingqin walked slowly through the long street, and there were all kinds of smells in the air, the smell of burning corpses, the smell of horse meat, mutton, and wine.

"Monk King Wansheng!"

"Monk King Wansheng!"

Wherever Monk Grinqin walked there, the soldiers there let out bursts of cheers.

A soldier directly handed over the barbecue and handed over the wine.

Monk Greenqin didn't care about the hot hands, directly grabbed the barbecue, and chewed it as he walked.

The fierce battle lasted for three days and three nights.

In the end, it was a big win.

There are countless twisted armies that have been destroyed.

Jinan Province was officially recovered.

At this point, he has recovered almost all of Shandong.

The confidence that the monk king lost in the battle of Bali Bridge has regained a lot.

He was even fantasizing that if he had this army, would he have been so badly defeated in the Battle of Bali Bridge?

Shengbao next to him held the wine jug high and said loudly: "Ten thousand victories in the Qing Dynasty, ten thousand victories in the eight banners." ”

"Long live the emperor, long live, long live!"

Countless soldiers shouted in unison: "Ten thousand victories in the Qing Dynasty, ten thousand victories in the eight banners." ”

Sheng Bao said: "Brothers, eat and drink well, and then wipe your blades, wipe your guns, we are ready to enter Beijing at any time to do great things." ”

Suddenly, countless soldiers clamored.

"Do big things, do big things!"

…………………………

The Imperial Palace!

Above the court, the queen mother of the two palaces lowered the curtain to listen to the government.

The little emperor was still sitting indifferently.

"Six hundred miles expedited, six hundred miles expedited!"

"The monk king urgently reported that the Shandong battlefield was a complete victory, the monk king and Shengbao recovered Jinan, eliminated more than 60,000 twist bandits, and captured nearly 40,000 twist bandits."

Suddenly, the princes of the Eight Banners of the Manchu Dynasty were excited.

Then!

Just over half an hour later.

"Six hundred miles expedited."

"Hangzhou urgently, Hangzhou battlefield won a complete victory."

"Lord Su Yu completely defeated the 150,000-strong army of the rebel, killed and wounded more than 50,000 rebels, and captured 35,000 people."

"Zhejiang's banditry will be completely eliminated."

Suddenly, the court shook again.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother, congratulations to the Queen Mother."

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor."

"Such a brilliant victory, I am about to prosper in the Qing Dynasty."

The Queen Mother of the Two Palaces also seemed very happy.

"Good, good, good, good fight!"

"Su Yu played well, and Monk Lingqin played well."

"To be rewarded, greatly rewarded!"

Yehenara said to the Empress Dowager Ci'an: "These two people must be rewarded." ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Yes, I want a big reward." ”

Next, the whole court was jubilant.

Then, scatter the dynasty!

……………………

After entering Changchun Palace, Empress Dowager Cixi's face changed instantly.

The originally beaming face directly cooled down.

"If you win, why did you win?"

"Why did Monk Grinqin win?"

The words almost instinctively rushed out of my mouth, but I held back at last.

Even if you want to win, you will win in at least half a month, and then in a month.

What's next?

Now it's a draw.

"Sanniang, can you contact Su Yu?" Yehenara said.

Zhu Sanniang was stunned and said, "Queen Mother, you are more able to contact adults." ”

Belch?!

Yehenara reacted, and he was really confused.

Originally, he was able to contact Su Yu through normal channels, but instinctively always wanted to take the dark path.

"Su Shun and Duanhua's side must summon the monk Greenqin and Shengbao's army back to Beijing." Yehenala said: "

Now it was a draw, but their army was closer to the capital. ”

"This battle has given them confidence, and they will definitely return to Beijing."

Zhu Sanniang shouldn't have spoken at this time, although the Yehenara clan knew that she was Su Yu's person, but she was still a palace maid in public terms.

"After entering Beijing, do they dare to launch a mutiny?" Zhu Sanniang said.

Yehenala said: "Don't take risks, Andehai, Andehai!" ”

A moment later, Andhai sped in.

Yehnara said, "Prepare the pen and ink." ”

Immediately, the Yehnara clan wrote a decree and stamped it with the seal of the Tongdaotang.

"You, go out of Beijing in person, take a boat and go south to Hangzhou as fast as possible to send a message to Su Yu, and let him lead the army into Beijing."

An Dehai kowtowed: "Huh! ”

He put away his decree and was about to rush out.

Yehenara said, "Wait. ”

Andehai stopped and knelt on the ground.

The Queen Mother said: "You go to Zuo Zongtang and ask him to send the most elite soldiers to escort you south." ”

An Dehai trembled in his heart.

Could it be that the other party still dares to do something to him on the way and rob him?

"Huh!"

Andehai rushed out.

………………

Suyu's Feng'en Town State Mansion.

An Dehai arched his hand towards Zuo Zongtang and said, "I've seen Mr. Ji Gao." ”

He is not usually so well-behaved, but now he is asking for others, so his attitude is humble.

Zuo Zongtang has always looked down on eunuchs, and this time is no exception, frowning and saying, "What's wrong?" ”

An Dehai said: "The Empress Dowager will let the slaves and maids go south to Hangzhou as quickly as possible, and ask Lord Su Yu to lead the army back to Beijing." I was worried that someone would rob and kill me on the way, so I asked Mr. Ji Gao to send an elite army to escort me south. ”

Zuo Zongtang's face twitched slightly.

This...... Is this posture really going to have a central civil war in the capital?

However, Zuo Zongtang still used the fastest speed to send an elite new army, more than 100 people, to escort An Dehai from Beijing to the south.

……………………

Zhongcui Palace.

Su Shun, Duanhua, Zaiyuan, Zai Ling and others knelt neatly.

"Queen Mother, hurry up and give an order."

"Hurry up and give an order to let the monk king and Shengbao lead the army back to Beijing."

Just now, in the court, in the face of two victories, they were also overjoyed, saying that they would reward Su Yu and Seng Lingqin.

But now, his face is also pale, as if he is facing a great enemy.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Such an order may lead to consequences." ”

Prince Zheng Duanhua said: "What consequences can this have? After winning the big battle, shouldn't the class teacher return to the court? ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an still couldn't make up her mind.

She was really worried that if she ordered the army of Seng Lingqin and Shengbao to return to Beijing, Su Shun and Duanhua and others would use this army to do great things.

Of course, she didn't want the Eight Banners to be abolished, of course she wanted to keep the foundation of the Qing Dynasty.

However, she also definitely did not want a civil war.

Therefore, no matter how Su Shun, Duanhua and others persuaded her, she was unwilling to give an order.

At this moment, a eunuch rushed in.

"The Queen Mother, the Queen Mother in the west has issued an order. An Dehai secretly left the palace, and went directly to Su Yu's Feng'en Town Guogong Mansion, and then Zuo Zongtang sent an elite team to follow An Dehai away, and he should have left Beijing. ”

As soon as these words came out, the Empress Dowager Ci'an's face changed drastically.

Duanhua said: "Queen Mother, take a look, take a look." ”

"You don't make an order, but the queen mother in the west is not welcome."

"If Su Yu's army advances into Beijing, what will be the consequences?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said in a trembling voice: "Su Yu came up with this method before, he went to Zhejiang to exterminate the rebellion, and Monk Greenqin led the banner army to Shandong to exterminate the twisted bandits, isn't it just another kind of brother climbing the mountain, each competing for the first?" Isn't it just to avoid civil war? ”

Duanhua said: "This time, that time." Su Yu recruited half of the bannermen into the new army of the empire, and established the Imperial Army Academy, so that all the officers became his students, just to subdue the hearts of these bannermen. But he didn't expect that the will of these banner people to resist was so resolute, so it was impossible to collect their hearts normally. ”

Zaiyuan said: "In this struggle, after all, there will be a winner. Whether it is us or Su Yao, we must divide the victory and defeat and decide life and death. ”

Su Shun said: "Queen Mother, this is a life-and-death struggle, this is not a family." ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an was still reluctant to make up her mind.

Duanhua said: "Queen Mother, if you let Su Yu's army advance to Beijing, it will be a sword and I will be a fish." ”

Deep down in the heart of the Empress Dowager Ci'an, she just didn't want to believe that Su Yu would harm her.

After all...... He...... He also said that he admired himself.

Su Shun and Duanhua were almost angry, their niece and queen mother were really ......

It's all this time, are you still soft-hearted? Still fantasizing about the situation?

Still thinking about hello, hello, hello everyone?

Look at the queen mother in the west, how resolute is she?

immediately made a decision to let Su Yu lead the army into Beijing.

You're good, you're still struggling at this time.

However, the Empress Dowager Zhenggong is in control of absolute righteousness, and if she doesn't make an order, Duanhua and others just have no choice.

Of course, they can also directly let Seng Lingqin and Shengbao Wuzhi enter Beijing.

But in that case, it would be a misnomer.

Suddenly, Su Shun said: "Queen Mother, in your heart, do you think that Su Yu will definitely not hurt you?" ”

For a while, Mrs. Ci'an said with red ears: "What nonsense are you talking about?" ”

Su Shun said: "Su Yu, maybe it won't hurt you?" But what about the Queen Mother in the west? ”

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "She won't either." ”

Su Shun said: "Did the first emperor give you a secret decree, at a critical moment, to eradicate the secret decree of the one in the west?" ”

The Empress Dowager Ci'an instinctively shook her head and denied it, but she was not good at lying, and her eyes would betray her.

Su Shun said: "Don't you know the temperament of the one in the west? Normally, of course, they get along, but now it's a matter of life and death for her, and you have the weapon in your hands that can put him to death. Wouldn't she be on guard? When there was no disagreement before, of course everything was fine. But now that there are differences and rifts, doesn't she want to settle the hidden dangers once and for all? ”

As soon as these words came out, Empress Dowager Ci'an's face changed slightly.

Obviously, she still knows something about the Yehnara clan.

Duanhua said: "Queen Mother, even if you don't make an order, we will immediately recruit monks and monks to return to Beijing with the army of Shengbao." If that happens, it will be more likely to undergo drastic changes. ”

Then, several people once again kowtowed neatly and said, "Please give an order to the Queen Mother." ”

A quarter of an hour later!

A big eunuch, escorted by another elite team, went to Shandong as fast as possible to deliver the decree.

Let Seng Lingqin and Shengbao immediately lead the army back to Beijing.

…………………………

Duanhua immediately secretly met with the Russian minister and the American minister.

"There's one thing that needs your help so much." Prince Zheng Duanhua said.

The Russian minister's face was cold.

Even the whole of Tsarist Russia was thoroughly enraged.

Hailan Pao was fine, but he was severely shelled and killed a lot of people.

But Vladivostok was extremely tragic, because it was too far away, and it took a long time to be discovered.

The Russians at the entire Vladivostok military base were almost wiped out.

Half of the corpses, piled up into pyramids.

The other half of the corpses were nailed to wooden shelves, stretching for dozens of miles.

This group of pirates slaughtered the entire Vladivostok in the most brutal way.

Although there was no evidence, Tsarist Russia could immediately judge that this was a joint conspiracy between Su Yu and the British.

He could imagine how angry the emperor would be.

How upended will the relationship between Tsarist Russia and the British Empire be?

"Say."

Duanhua said: "Monk Greenqin and Shengbao won a big victory in Shandong, and Su Yu won a big victory in Hangzhou. ”

"We summoned the troops of the monk Grinqin and Shengbao into Beijing, and the Empress Dowager of the West summoned Su Lu into Beijing."

"Su Yu's army is in Hangzhou, which is much farther away from the capital, so if you want to return to Beijing quickly, you will definitely take the sea route."

"I want to ask your fleet to intercept his fleet."

As soon as these words came out, the Russian and American ministers looked at each other.

For the two countries, of course, it was hoped that Su Yu would completely lose the power of the Qing court.

After a long while, the American envoy said: "Blatantly intercept Su Lu's fleet, that will be a war." ”

Of course, Duanhua would like Tsarist Russia and the United States to go to war against the Soviet Union, but he can't say that.

"Since Su Yu and the British can attack Vladivostok in disguise as pirates, then you can also disguise yourself as pirates to intercept Su Yu's fleet, right?" Duanhua Road.

The Russian and American ministers looked at each other again.

Duanhua continued: "Two ministers, if Su Yu is completely in power, Britain will monopolize all your interests in the Qing Kingdom. So in this regard, our interests are completely aligned with flying. ”

"I can tell you that once we take the center, we will also carry out the Westernization movement. But at that time, we'll be open to both of you in a targeted way. ”

The Russian minister said, "We need to discuss it." ”

Next, the ministers of the two countries entered another office for a confidential meeting.

"This can be done." "And for us, this is a rare opportunity," said the Russian minister. ”

The American minister was silent.

Although they also had an antagonistic relationship with Su Yu, they did not share the same sky as the Russians.

The Russian envoy said: "One thing is for sure, once the center of the Qing court is plunged into a civil war, it will be in our great interest, right?" At that time, we will support the princes of the Eight Banners, you will support the Hunan army, and the British will support Su Yao. ”

"This country has been dismembered, and all three of us can gain great benefits."

The American minister said: "You also know that our country is in a civil war, and I don't really have the power to wage war in the Far East. ”

The Russian minister said: "We don't want to go to war, so does Su Yu want to go to war with us?" ”

"He ruined the treaty and didn't let us into the Yangtze River, shouldn't we punish him?"

"And right now, it's the best chance to punish."

Once again, the American minister was silent and thought for a long time.

After a long while, he nodded and said, "Okay, do it!" ”

Next, the envoys of the two countries came to Duanhua and said, "We agree to your conditions, but we need you to sign a secret agreement. ”

Then the Russian minister handed over a secret treaty.

This secret contract was very hasty and was written on the fly.

They are so greedy that no matter what they talk about, even if it is something that is beneficial to them, they will open their mouths.

Duanhua took the secret agreement and glanced at it, his face was a little ugly, but he still gritted his teeth and signed his name.

"You must be fast, the Empress Dowager Xi has already sent an envoy to leave Beijing and go to Hangzhou to announce the decree."

The Russian minister said: "Don't worry, our speed will be faster." ”

Very quickly, indeed, only a quarter of an hour later.

The envoys of the two countries sent a group of military attachés to the south as fast as possible to Shanghai.

………………………………

A few days later!

Shanghai Yangtze River Estuary.

Russian and American ships have been stuck here for months, facing off and never wanting to leave.

But suddenly, overnight, the fleets of these two countries retreated.

And retreated without a trace, and retreated directly to the open sea.

The commander of the Yangtze River Fleet, Xu Youren, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, did not feel happy, but felt like a great enemy.

The fleets of the two countries suddenly retreated, what was the big move?

Another day has passed!

Li Hongzhang's action of besieging Suzhou suddenly stopped.

A direct truce.

Then, he led the army directly north and left Suzhou.

I don't know what this action means?

……………………………………

Followed by!

The imperial court envoy came to Jinan.

"The Empress Dowager decreed that the monks Glinqin and Shengbao should immediately lead the army back to Beijing, and admire this!"

Monk Greenqin took the holy decree and glanced at it, and his heart skipped a slight beat.

Because there is only the seal of the royal reward on the holy decree, and there is no Tongdao Hall.

In other words, this is not the will of the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces, but only the Queen Mother of the East Palace.

"Monk King, the Queen Mother means to enter Beijing immediately without any delay." The great eunuch said.

The monk said, "I know. ”

In fact, he was mentally prepared for this holy decree.

Therefore, the army has been assembled and can march at any time.

Still, he had to make the final decision.

In the secret study of the Shandong governor's yamen, there were only four people, Seng Lingqin, Shengbao, Fu Qi, and Du Xing'a.

"The Queen Mother and the Queen Mother issued an order, let us lead the army back to Beijing." Monk Lingqin said: "Do you want to go back?" ”

Sheng Bao said: "Of course we want to go back, haven't we waited for several days?" If you don't return to Beijing, let Su Yu take the lead in returning to Beijing, will we sit idly by? ”

Fu Qi said: "Even if we only have the imperial seal of the Queen Mother, we still have no possibility of resisting the decree." ”

Duxing said: "Monk King, this ...... This return to Beijing with the army is likely to mean a civil war. ”

Monk Greenqin's hand holding the cigarette trembled slightly, and then threw the cigarette butt away.

Duxing said: "Are we ready for a civil war?" ”

Sheng Bao said: "Take a step, look at a step." But there must be one thing, we must be ahead of Su Yu. ”

"Besides, can we still resist the decree?"

"What's the point of having a secret meeting here?"

Monk Greenqin lit a cigarette and took a deep breath.

Yes, the Divine Decree has come.

After vastly smoking the cigarette, Monk Lingqin came to the door.

It's densely packed outside, it's all the troops he brought, and it's barely a division of a hundred battles?

This time I went back to Beijing, and I might really face a civil war.

After a long while, Monk Lingqin shouted loudly: "The whole army sets off and returns to Beijing." ”

Countless people below shouted in unison: "Yes! ”

Then, dressed in military uniform, Monk Greenqin turned over and got on his horse again.

Tens of thousands of troops left the city of Jinan.

Return to Jingshi.

…………………………………………

Once again, the whole situation was in a terrible state of anxiety.

Is the civil war in the center of the imperial court really about to break out?

Countless people's eyes are staring at Hangzhou.

are all waiting for Su Yu's decision.

At the same time, the Russian and American fleets were in the open sea, making simple cover-ups.

It's really simple, it's just a couple of pirate flags.

Then, the Combined Fleet began to cruising and patrolling on the sea route back to Beijing.

Xu Youren's Yangtze River Fleet left a small half at the mouth of the Yangtze River, and he personally led the other half of the Yangtze River Fleet southward into Hangzhou Bay, preparing to escort Su Yu's army back to Beijing.

And inside the city of Hangzhou.

The great eunuch An Dehai traveled almost day and night, and finally arrived in Hangzhou.

"Su Xiang, the Queen Mother!"

"Lord Su Yu, immediately lead the army back to Beijing."

Then, he straightforwardly handed the holy decree to Su Yao, and all the rules were waived.

Su Yu took the holy decree and saw that there was only the seal of the Tongdao Hall on it.

And the handwriting is still a little sloppy, apparently written in a hurry by the Yehenara clan.

An Dehai said: "Su Xiang, we must be fast, the distance in Shandong is closer, so Seng Lingqin and Shengbao must have received the holy decree earlier, and they must have been on their way back to Beijing." ”

"We must assemble the army as quickly as possible, board the warship, take the sea route to Tianjin, and then return to Beijing by land."

Su Yu said towards An Dehai: "You take a break." ”

An Dehai said: "Yes, Su Xiang." But we must be fast, if we let the army of Seng Lingqin and Shengbao lead into Beijing for too long, it will be too disadvantageous. ”

Next.

Su Yu handed over the Empress Dowager's decree to a few cronies.

Xu Youren, Wang Youling, Wang Shiqing, and even Yuan Jiasan and Ma Xinyi.

After reading it, everyone's faces were solemn.

However, they didn't open their mouths.

I only feel the footsteps of the civil war, getting closer and closer.

But the matter was so big that it was almost difficult for them to speak.

Moreover, Su Yu's face was calm and firm, and it was obvious that he had already made up his mind.

Suddenly, Xu Youren said: "The lower official completely obeys Su Xiang's orders. ”

Wang Youling said: "The lower officials are also completely obedient. ”

Yuan Jiasan said: "The same is true for the lower officials. ”

Ma Xinyi said: "The same is true for the lower officials. ”

Su Yu nodded, and then walked out of the door and said, "Pass the order, and the whole army will board the ship." ”

……………………………………

Su Yao's tens of thousands of main forces had also been assembled several days in advance.

The ships in Hangzhou Bay are also all ready.

With Su Lu's order, tens of thousands of troops began to board the ship as fast as possible.

Countless boats are densely spread over the Qiantang River for more than ten miles.

An Dehai rested for a while, and when he saw the army on board, he calmed down.

Even, he didn't have time to rest in Hangzhou, so he had to board the ship and return to Beijing with him.

At dawn the next day.

Su Luo's tens of thousands of troops have not boarded the ship.

"Go!"

With Su Yao's order.

This huge flotilla of ships began to move.

An Dehai was stunned and said, "Am I wrong?" Are we heading west? ”

Su Yu said: "You are not mistaken, we are going west?" ”

An Dehai said: "When you go back to Beijing, aren't you going east?" Leave the Qiantang River and enter the sea, and then go north to Tianjin? ”

Su Yu said: "We will not return to Beijing. ”

An Dehai's face changed drastically and said, "Why don't you go back to Beijing?" But the will of the Queen Mother is to let you return to Beijing! ”

Su Yu said: "On the Queen Mother's side, I have already sent someone to explain." ”

An Dehai said: "Su Xiang, can't you resist the decree?" Moreover, Seng Lingqin and Shengbao led the army back to Beijing, and we didn't return to Beijing, how passive? You are still ordered to return to Beijing immediately. ”

Su Yu glanced at him coldly and said, "I won't say it a second time." ”

Then, just turn around and leave.

An Dehai's face couldn't help but turn blue and white for a while.

…………………………………………

Monk Lingqin and Shengbao led tens of thousands of troops and continued to return to Beijing in the north.

And Su Yu's army entered the Jiangnan Canal by boat and headed north.

Part of the army, landed in Suzhou.

At the same time, Lin Qirong, the king of the Taiping army, and Li Shixian, the king of the Taiping army, led the Taiping army to leave Suzhou an hour in advance.

Suddenly, Suzhou became an empty city.

Su Liu's army entered Suzhou, and used 800 miles to expedite the report to the palace in the capital.

Reclaim the state.

And the rest of his army did not stop at all.

Continue to land in Changzhou, Wuxi, Danyang and other places.

Hardly any effort.

His army reoccupied all of southern Sunan.

It's almost to the extreme.

There was no resistance from beginning to end, and the Taiping army continued to abandon these cities.

All the Taiping troops in southern Jiangsu are returning to Tianjing.

Su Yu's 800-mile urgent messenger returned to Beijing one after another.

Suzhou victory, Changzhou victory, Danyang victory, Wuxi victory.

Followed by!

Another additional piece of news is the heading north to Beijing.

This is Zeng Guofan's recital.

The long-lost Zeng Guofan recital.

Anqing victory.

The main force of the Hunan army conquered Anqing.

Immediately afterward, an even more explosive message spread.

The main forces of the Hunan army are gathering in one direction from all directions.

Tenkyo!

Are they planning to attack Tianjing?

……………………

The Imperial Palace!

The armies of Monk Grinqin and Shengbao are getting closer and closer to the capital.

And at this time, Su Yu's messengers kept entering the palace.

Above the court.

There was a burst of chanting.

"Eight hundred miles expedited!"

"Lord Su Yu regains the state."

"Regain Changzhou, regain Danyang, regain Wuxi."

"Jiangsu victory, southern victory!"
