"Father, please calm your anger, it's still important to raise the dragon body. Immediately under the bed, two men in yellow robes knelt down and cried.

Lying on the bed, it is naturally the current Holy Daoguang Emperor, and below him are his two most outstanding sons, the fourth prince Yixu and the sixth prince Yi.

At the beginning, Yi was defeated under the city of Guangzhou, but fortunately there were many masters under his command and his own martial arts were also good, so he took advantage of the chaos to escape, first ran to Hong Kong by water to get shelter from the British army, and then took a boat north to return to the area controlled by the Qing court, which was also considered a fate.

It's just that both in Sanyuan Blessed Land and Guangzhou were defeated, but the future is very unsightly.

"The inheritance left by our ancestors cannot be lost in the hands of our father and son, we must eradicate the rebel party, and return it to a clear and clear future.

Yisu, you have always acted calmly and loved your brothers, and you must keep this great country in the future. Emperor Daoguang said tiredly on the sickbed.

"The sons don't dare, I just hope that my father will recover as soon as possible and help me to protect the Qing Dynasty for thousands of years. The fourth prince Yisu was overjoyed, but he still kowtowed on the ground and retreated, not daring to show a happy expression.

"Stand down. The Emperor shook his hand wearily and told the two princes to step back.

The sixth prince followed his brother and retreated, feeling at a loss in his heart, this throne was lost to him after all.

Although he had felt this since the defeat, the situation still made him feel very uncomfortable.

After a few days, Emperor Daoguang finally returned to the west, and the fourth prince Yixu took over the throne as Emperor Xianfeng.

After Xianfeng succeeded to the throne, there were foreign enemies such as Britain and France eyeing each other, and there were Guangzhou Mixed Yuan Sect and Sanyuanguan rising into rebellion, and there were more martial arts sects in the north and south that were ready to move, and the Qing Dynasty was in an ethereal turmoil.

The change of leadership of the imperial court was originally a very important matter, but it was a pity that the Huaxia Army in Guangzhou had a bunch of things to deal with, and there was no way to manage this matter.

After various measures taken some time ago, the integration of the Huaxia Army with the people of Guangzhou has achieved initial results, and now it is time to add fire and consolidate the results.

In Guangzhou, the gentry who were inclined to the imperial court were still very large, but after the Huaxia army occupied Guangzhou, the gentry were not forbidden to enter and leave the city, so that many eunuchs and gentry took the opportunity to leave Hong Kong to live temporarily or continue to go north, and return to the area ruled by the Qing court, and their influence in Guangzhou was unprecedentedly weak.

After the opening of the Sanyuan Blessed Land, most of the merchants saw huge business opportunities and invested in the blessed land, farming, fishing, logging, mining and other livelihoods were in full swing, but they were not worried that these people would be unable to get along with the Huaxia Army.

In addition to the gentry and merchant class, there were originally scholars composed of Tongsheng and Xiucai in Guangzhou, who held the right to speak, and even organized many street demonstrations, which brought a lot of trouble to Wang Jiuxuan's governance.

Later, the Huaxia Army introduced the policy of reopening the imperial examination, and the threshold for the imperial examination was still very low, and almost anyone who could read two or three thousand words could become an official, that is to say, more than ninety percent of the scholars who participated in the imperial examination could become officials, and they were addicted, and at that time, hundreds of poor scholars participated in the imperial examination and became new imperial examination people.

The Huaxia Army also did a great job, pulling these hundreds of scholars to the so-called schools for brainwashing training in the name of training, which caused a serious division of the scholar group in Guangzhou, coupled with the example of forcibly shaving their hair during the previous trial of the case, many scholars who were interested in the Qing court dared not speak out, but did not dare to go to the streets to make trouble again.

As for the original martial arts sects, gangs, and sects in Guangzhou, they were forcibly integrated by the Huaxia Army in disregard of the morality of the rivers and lakes, and after the big factions such as the Heaven and Earth Society and the Demon Sect were forcibly tied to the chariot of the Huaxia Army, all the forces bowed down to their ears, and they did not dare to challenge the authority of the Huaxia Army in the short term.

The top level of the Huaxia Army consciously achieved initial results in controlling the hearts of the people, so they introduced an order to shave their hair in a timely manner to further unite the people.

The so-called shaving order is to ask the people to shave their braids and abandon the clothing of the Qing Dynasty, which was originally introduced when Wang Jiuxuan was in power.

However, at that time, the people of Guangzhou had great doubts about how long the Huaxia Army could hold out in Guangzhou, and they were worried that the Qing army would settle accounts after the arrival and reoccupation of Guangzhou, so there were very few people who really responded.

This time, the influence of this decree increased rapidly because the Chinese army was riding on the prestige of the victory of the Eastern Crusade, and the beggar gangs and other gangs that often caused trouble were destroyed, and all classes and forces in Guangzhou supported this policy, at least on the surface.

According to the order of shaving their hair and making it easy to obey, the citizens of Guangzhou could decide to shave their hair and change their clothes, and then under the auspices of local officials and Li Zheng, in the presence of many people, they swore to break away from the Qing court, return to China, and work hard for the recovery of China.

Originally, there was an idea in the army that this method of shaving hair and making it easy to wear clothes should be forcibly promoted in Guangzhou, but after discussing with Xuanzheng, Wang Jiuxuan, and others, Li Xian decided to adopt the principle of voluntariness, and also added a clause of public oath.

This made the implementation of the shaving and easy service order quite slow at first, but it also made the people who decided to shave their hair and easy to wear have no way out, and they could only follow the Huaxia army in the future, otherwise they would never be spared when the Qing court returned.

Those who swore an oath to break away from the Qing court and shaved their hair and were easy to obey could enjoy many preferential treatments in terms of employment, education, and entering the system, and the most realistic advantage was that they could obtain a citizenship certificate, enter the ration system of the Huaxia Army, and buy food, firewood, and various materials at a much cheaper price than the market price.

When there were more and more people who shaved their hair and were easy to wear, and more than fifty percent of the people in the city were people with short haircuts, Li Xian and others secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and at this point, the hearts of the people in Guangzhou could really be regarded as the Huaxia Army, and the people before could only be regarded as speculators who thought of speculation in the Qing court.

At this time, the rear was stable, and the Huaxia Army had the spare time to carry out the southern expedition, remove some military hidden dangers, and more importantly, obtain some necessary material resources.

This time, Li Xian was the commander-in-chief, leading the main army of 10,000 Mixed Yuan Sect to attack, and Wang Jiuxuan of Sanyuanguan was the deputy marshal, leading 5,000 Sanyuanguan troops to follow.

Qin Rigang and Yang Tianming had made a fortune before, each holding a considerable amount of property, and there were thousands of strong men available under them, so they respectively formed a mercenary group of about 1,500 people to follow the large army to attack.

This made the military strength of the southern expedition reach more than 18,000 men, close to 20,000, which is even larger than the last time the expedition to Chaoshan and Shanzhou were carried out.

The Southern Expeditionary Army marched all the way south from Guangzhou, from Zhongshan, Yangjiang, Maoming, and Zhanjiang to Laowo Leizhou of the Mixed Yuan Sect.

Well, the total number of Qing troops in these states is less than 8,000 people, and they are still stationed in several states, and the weapons used are still backward cold weapons and guns, etc., if such an army can cause casualties to the Huaxia army, Li Xian might as well find a piece of tofu to kill himself.

The Southern Expeditionary Army only fought a siege battle of a certain scale in Yangjiang Prefecture along the way, and the rest of the prefecture and county towns were basically surrendered by the wind, depending on the rumors, which was much easier than the last expedition to Yang Fang.
