I can't die

Rongshou's worries are obviously not superfluous. Zaichun's political methods have grown rapidly under the precepts and deeds of Cixi Ci'an. In addition, he was originally the supreme leader of the feudal empire of the Qing Dynasty, and the political rights he possessed overtly and secretly are extraordinary.Coupled with the disaster of Daoguang, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom of Xianfeng and Xianfeng were pacified under his rule, and the political capital accumulated by Zaichun was also much richer. The [-]-year-old emperor was treated like an ignorant child.

In fact, in the final analysis, to some extent, Zai Chun still has to thank these so-called rebellious officials and thieves. If it weren't for them, Zai Chun would not have been able to gather military power so quickly and take control of the government.Although the power of the Empress Dowagers of the Two Palaces and the Military Aircraft Department headed by Prince Gong is still very strong, Zai Chun, from a certain point of view, does not feel the pressure.After all, in Zai Chun's view, Prince Gong and the Empress Dowagers without military power could not fundamentally threaten their own lives.

Zai Chun can think of so many things, so does Rong Shou. For the first time, she deeply felt that Prince Gong's Mansion, which used to be full of wind and rain, is actually just a dog that can be beaten down at any time in the eyes of the current emperor. Once the emperor is dissatisfied with the current military aircraft, Zai Chun can completely catch them off guard with a thunderbolt.

Thinking of this, Rongshou couldn't help but take a deep look at the emperor who was sitting on the dragon chair, and stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, empress dowager, a few days ago, my empress attacked and visited my son, saying that she planned to give my son Marriage is discussed. My son thinks that he is getting old, so he also wants to get rid of the job at the sticky pole and start learning some female red embroidery."

With Rongshou's strong temperament, how could he say such things on weekdays?Zai Chun was taken aback for a moment, thinking what happened to Prince Gong's mansion?Say hello to Rongshou?Doesn't Prince Gong know that Rongshou is now raised in front of Cixi, so he can be regarded as half of the royal family?Or is he really dissatisfied with Rongshou, a woman in power?

"You're only eleven, why are you in such a hurry. I'll talk to your mother-in-law later, there's no rush." ​​Ci Xi could see that Zai Chun didn't want to let go of Rong Shou's errand, so she said so.To say that in Prince Gong's mansion today, the two lines are also very opposite. Prince Gong is partial to Ci'an because of etiquette and son.And Cixi Zaichun's promotion of Rongshou somewhat meant that Rongshou would succeed Prince Gong's next generation.As a woman, Rong Shou was caught in the middle, obviously it was very difficult to do.

After all, he is young, and he can still think of his parents in the face of power.Zai Chun didn't expect that Rongshou wanted to step down and protect Prince Gong, but he just said that because he was afraid that Prince Gong would be difficult to do so, so he shook his head and objected.Rongshou was helpless, it was worth continuing to take on the errand at the sticky pole, after all, he had a little worry about Prince Gong's mansion in his heart.

Not to mention the turmoil in the court.

Zuo Zongtang was overjoyed when he got the food stored by the Taiping army that had been burned at the sticky pole. He called Arut Chongqi to lead the troops from Mongolia to the north of Gansu. As he said in the memorial, the Hui people The Hui people can still slow down the rebellion, but the remnants of the Taiping Army are the primary targets of surrender, and one must not be let go.

Alut Chongqi is of Mongolian origin, and has an innate advantage in leading troops from Mongolia.The natural environment of Mongolia is much better than that of the Shaanxi-Gansu area. It is the most abundant water and grass in the first month, so there is no need to worry about the problem of food and grass. Arut Chongqi set off from the capital with the army of the Zhenglan Banner. Within half a month It reached the junction of northern Gansu and Mongolia.

"My lord, further ahead is the Ganbei area."

After leaving Mongolia, the further west you go, the more desolate it becomes. When you reach the border between Shaanxi and Gansu, the grasslands have become very scattered. If you look up, you can see the desolate neighbors in Gansu Province.At this point, Arut ordered the whole army to rest here for a day, and then decided to attack Yumen Pass quickly by means of blitzkrieg.

At this time in Yumen Pass, Chen Decai's army was out of ammunition and food after experiencing a month of hunger. If Yumen Town hadn't been too important to control the frontier fortress, they would have given up on this place and returned to Shaanxi to replenish food.As far as Chen Decai is concerned, although he has a bit of cleverness and vision, he is really inferior to his nephew Chen Yucheng in leading troops to fight.On the one hand, he was reluctant to part with Yumen Town, and on the other hand, he was worried about the military rations. He swung back and forth like this. He had already violated the taboo of soldiers and missed the best time to escape. Now that the soldiers are hungry and tired, how could it be Aruted’s Mongolian army? Enemy?

But hearing the sound of fighting coming from a distance, Arut's army rushed towards Yumen Town on fast horses after resting.Due to the vast plains in northern Gansu and unobstructed vision, Chen Decai's army discovered the rushing Mongols very early on.When Chen Decai saw the enemy attacking at this time, he panicked. He knew that his army was definitely not the enemy's opponent at this moment, and he didn't want to resist, so he said to his subordinates directly: "Quickly withdraw, it is not suitable to stay here for a long time. , don't love to fight!"

Chen Decai, the top general, had already spoken like this. How could the hungry soldiers at the bottom dare to stay? They picked up the supplies that were convenient to carry and started running.At this moment, Arut was chasing after him, and Chen Decai was running ahead, forming a dazzling landscape in the vast Ganbei desert.However, in the final analysis, how can a "hungry stomach" run past a full stomach?Naturally, many people ran slowly and were overtaken by Arut's Zhenglan Banner army.

Seeing this, Chen Decai didn't have the time to take care of these backward soldiers, instead he ordered those slow-running soldiers to hold back Arut's cavalry.At this point, the morale of Chen Decai's army has long been slackened, and there is no ability to resist. Most of the slow runners chose to surrender.

On the issue of handling the surrendered soldiers, Arut was very determined, not keeping any of them, but killing them all.Obviously, he had already received Zuo Zongtang's instructions before he came, and it was impossible to leave alive those who dared to shake the foundation of the Qing Dynasty's rule.

In an instant, the entire desert overflowed with blood donations, and under the scorching sun, there were endless screams, like a Shura field.

When Chen Decai saw this killing method of the Qing Dynasty, he broke out in cold sweat and dared not rest. He ran straight with his head covered, and led the participating forces to Suzhou.

Suzhou is the largest city in the Jiuquan area. Unlike Yumenguan, most of the people who come and go are businessmen, and there are many Hui people stationed in it.Chen Decai has a certain alliance relationship with these Hui rebels.The Hui people were quite trustworthy, and let Chen Decai's army enter the city, and then carried out a tight defense.

Arut's Zhenglan Qi chased Chen Decai all the way to the foot of Suzhou City.Looking at the city of Suzhou with many guards from a distance, I also thought about it.Knowing that this big city is not something they can break through right away, it is worth pausing the pursuit and choosing to retreat to Yumen Town to clean up the mess from the previous war.
