Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Bo Yan seemed to have disappeared. Where did he go?

In fact, he had been observing secretly, especially when the Taiping Army attacked Yangzhou City, he was waiting for a result.

If Yangzhou City was broken, he would still have a chance.

However, Su Ye's new army really defended Yangzhou City.

At least at that moment, Boyan Nemohu was silent and fell into a long thought.

Why is this happening?

Why did Su Ye's new army win?

If it were him, could he do it?

Then, he got an extremely gloomy answer.

There were less than a hundred elite cavalry battalions left around him, but after several days of wandering, people gradually caught up, so now there are almost two hundred cavalry.

When Tuo Ming'a led 20,000 troops to station in Yangzhou City, he knew that this struggle was completely over.

Especially when Tuo Ming'a led the army to attack Liuhe and Xincheng, Boyan was even more disheartened.

He completely lost, and there was no room for a turnaround.

It's really fun to say.

Liuhe and Xincheng were really conquered by Tuo Ming'a.

Su Ye sent 400 new troops to support, and also brought six artillery pieces.

He did not go himself, but asked Wang Shiqing and Zhao Bu to lead the team. Because if he went, the credit would be attributed to him, and Tuo Ming'a needed this credit more.

Wu Ruxiao took away almost all the troops in Jiangbei, so there were not many troops left in Liuhe and Xincheng, but after all, they were the defenders and had a huge advantage.

Therefore, Su Ye originally thought that the new troops would have to make great efforts in this battle.

As a result, Tuo Ming'a led his Jiangbei camp troops and fought hard.

It took only two days to conquer Liuhe and Xincheng.

Then, the troops in the Jiangbei camp were a little confused. Have we become so powerful?

Afterwards, Tuomin'a laughed at himself, saying that he was so fierce because he knew he would win this battle, and secondly because he had the new army brothers watching him. If he didn't fight well, it would be too embarrassing.

Of course, there was another reason. With the new army on the side, they felt relieved and felt that someone was supporting them.

It felt so good to have someone backing them up. What a damn sense of security.

In a short period of time, the new army had created an idol effect in front of the soldiers of the North Camp.

After Liuhe and Xincheng were taken back, Boyan was really in despair.

Tuomin'a and Suye joined forces and had no political opponents in Jiangbei.

So he hired several large ships and left Yangzhou in disgrace and returned to the capital.

In the capital, his family was powerful and backed by the Eight Banners, so there might be room for maneuver.

After arriving in Tongzhou, he first sent someone home to report, and then waited in Tongzhou.

The next day, Senggelinqin appeared in front of him.

Boyan Nemohu immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "Father, I have embarrassed you."

The monk king looked at his son, and then looked at the remaining 200 cavalrymen of the Zhenghuang Banner Cavalry Battalion. Each of them was covered in dust.

They looked depressed and their eyes were dim.

But... no one had lost much weight.

Suddenly, the monk king was even more disappointed.

"Follow me." Senggelinqin said.

Then, Boyan Nemohu turned on his horse and followed Senggelinqin to the capital.

………………………………………………………………

When entering the capital, the outer city was okay, and many people did not recognize Boyan.

But when entering the inner city, everyone recognized him.

Then, the Eight Banners attacked with poisonous tongues.

"Oh, Boyan Taiji is back? How much military merit did he make in the south?"

"I wonder what official rank he will be promoted to this time?"

"I haven't congratulated Boyan Taiji yet, he will soon marry the Sixth Princess."

"Double happiness, double happiness."

Boyan Nemohu was extremely angry after hearing this.

This group of Eight Banners nobles are the most mean people in the world, and there is no one in the world they dare not scold.

Before, Boyan Nemohu represented them, won honors and merits, and they praised Boyan to the sky.

Now that Boyan lost to Su Ye, the most angry and embarrassed are also these Eight Banners nobles.

You are incompetent, you deserve to die.

You lost our Eight Banners.

If you don't have such ability, why do you want to show off?

Now it's good, the elite of the Eight Banners lost to the new army, making Su Ye that kid proud.

Senggelinqin glanced at his son and said, "Remember this moment. This is how the world is. Winners are kings and losers are bandits."

They are so mean to losers.

Then, the two dismounted from their horses far in front of the palace.

Senggelinqin took Boyan into the palace and apologized to the emperor.

The monk king had a high status and a big face, so he met the emperor at the first time.

Moreover, the emperor encouraged him with warm words and did not blame him much.

However, when the monk king said that Boyan was kneeling outside and wanted to apologize to the emperor in person, the emperor was shocked and said, "He returned to Beijing?"

The meaning is very clear. He led the army to fight and was not allowed to return to Beijing without an order.

The monk king certainly knew this.

But Boyan's idea was that he must return to Beijing before Su Ye returned to Beijing, otherwise when Su Ye returned to Beijing, he would make a few more slanderous remarks, and Boyan would be more guilty and more passive.

In this regard, he really used the heart of a villain to guide the belly of a gentleman.

Su Ye would make slanderous remarks, but it would always be to a powerful enemy.

Su Ye's slander against the loser was too valuable to be tolerated.

The emperor yawned and said, "I am a little tired."

Seng Gelinqin felt bitter in his heart and said, "I'm leaving!"

Then, he took Boyannamohu home.

The emperor didn't even want to see Boyan, so the next punishment would definitely be very severe.

After returning to the palace, Seng Gelinqin said: "Kneel down!"

Boyan knelt in the courtyard.

"Take off your upper body clothes!"

Boyan took off his upper body clothes.

Seng Gelinqin picked up the whip and whipped him hard.

"Pah, pah, pah, pah..." He was beaten to a bloody pulp.

Prince Fujin was crying beside him, but he did not dare to plead for mercy to stop it.

After the beating, Seng Gelinqin said slowly: "Next, wait for the emperor to issue a severe punishment. Then, don't even think about this prince. There will even be no place for you in the entire capital."

"You should think carefully about where you should go next."

…………………………………………

Yangzhou City!

"The imperial edict has arrived. Jiangning General Tuo Ming'a will receive it."

Tomin'a stepped forward and knelt down.

"According to the imperial edict of Emperor Chengyun, Tuo Ming'adai has performed meritorious service and continues to serve as General of Jiangning, with the title of Commander-in-Chief of the Capital, and is responsible for rebuilding the Jiangbei camp. I appreciate this!"

Tomin'a was so moved that tears filled his eyes, and he kowtowed heavily and said: "I accept the decree, and I thank you for your kindness. Long live, long live, long live!"

I originally thought that this time I would definitely lose my official position, and even my life would be hard to save.

But he didn't expect that not only would he retain the position of General Jiang Ning, but he would also be given the title of Commander-in-Chief.

Thank you so much to Brother Su Yi!

This kind of kindness is almost like reborn parents.

The eunuch generously accepted Tomin'a's bribe money with a smile on his face.

But then, the eunuch's face suddenly turned as cold as frost.

"Weng Tongshu accepts the order."

Weng Tongshu came forward and knelt down.

"The emperor ordered you to come to Jiangning, Weng Tongshu, to supervise the defense of the Jiangbei camp. I didn't ask you to help in troubles or engage in power struggles. Where did you read the book of sages? You don't have to do this errand. , Return to Beijing immediately!”

Weng Tongshu trembled, kowtowed and said, "Thank you, my lord."

There is no such thing as punishment, this is the emperor's general respect for Han ministers.

The meaning is obvious. You should resign on your own initiative and don't let me remove you. It will be embarrassing then.

"Dexing, the emperor has spoken."

Deputy Commander Dexing'a stepped forward, kowtowed and said, "Slave, please greet me."

Eunuch: "Holy greetings."

The eunuch said in the emperor's tone: "Dexing, you are incompetent and shameless. How can you lead the army in Jiangning? Remove all current positions and return to Beijing to accept the crime."

Dexing'a kowtowed and said, "Slave, thank you Lord for your kindness."

Then, Dexing Ah also stepped forward and stuffed a few banknotes.

Even though it was an imperial edict of punishment, money was still required, but the eunuch refused to accept it.

Immediately afterwards, the eunuch with a frosty face immediately changed his expression.

Not only was her smile full of smiles, but she also lost her reserve. Instead, she showed a bit of flattery. She came to Su Yi, bent down and said, "My slave, I would like to pay my respects to Brother Su Yi."

Su Yi quickly stepped forward to help him and said, "Does the Emperor have any instructions?"

Then, he immediately wanted to salute.

As a result, the eunuch quickly supported Su Yi and said: "No, there is no oral instruction. The emperor just entrusted the servant to say that he misses his brother. In addition, the emperor asked, what should be the situation of the war here?"

Su Yi said: "I have written a secret report, which contains all my views on the entire war situation. I have entrusted my father-in-law to bring it back to the emperor."

The eunuch bent his waist a little more and took it respectfully with both hands.

"I accept your order, and I will return to the capital and give the secret report to the emperor." When he said this, he looked at Su Yi, showing a trace of longing.

Of course he didn't want to return to Beijing so soon. He still wanted to stay in Yangzhou and accept the hospitality.

This is considered a bad habit in officialdom, but Su Yi can't stop it now, so he smiled and said, "There's no need to be so anxious."

Tomin'a smiled and said: "Yes, yes, yes, father-in-law is not allowed to leave. If you don't drink you down tonight, even if we don't entertain you well, you will definitely be laughed at when we return to the capital in the future."

Next, Tomin'a held a banquet, and cups and cups were exchanged.

The eunuch who passed the order was accompanied by two beauties, drinking and eating food without having to do anything himself, so happy.

And Dexing'a and Weng Tongshu took an official ship to go north.

The two of them were relatively speechless.

In the officialdom, there is nothing to say about success and defeat.

Suddenly, Dexing'a gritted his teeth and said, "It's all Boyan Namohu's fault for killing us."

Weng Tongshu said angrily: "Incompetent people are harming the country and the people!"

Then, Dexing A said: "This Su Yi and Tuo Ming'a are collaborating together. Doesn't he know what Tuo Ming'a is? If the Jiangbei camp falls into the hands of such people, there will be great disaster in the future."

Weng Tong wrote: "Have you seen Su Yi's new army during this time?"

Dexing Adao: "I saw it. The military discipline is extremely high. It doesn't look like the army of the Qing Dynasty at all."

Weng Tong wrote: "By the way, it doesn't look like the army of the Qing Dynasty at all. It's hard to say whether having such an army is a blessing or a curse. I'm afraid this brother Su Yi has a very big plan."

Dexing Adao: "Now that his holy love is strong, what can we do with him?"

Weng Tong wrote: "Let's look at the future, let's look at the future!"

…………………………………………

After three days of warm hospitality in Yangzhou and making a fortune, the eunuch reluctantly returned to Beijing.

After returning to Beijing, he immediately sent Su Yi's secret note.

This secret memorial contains thousands of words.

This is the first time Su Yi explains the battles in Yangzhou from his own perspective.

He also stated that in the battle to defend Yangzhou, he had 1,700 men and rebelled against more than 16,000 people. This is true.

It is also true to eliminate three to four thousand people who are rebellious.

But the reason for rebelling and taking the initiative to retreat was not that Yangzhou could not be conquered, but that something happened in Tianjing.

In fact, the war situation was very dangerous at that time, and the rebellion was about to break the city. Su Yi's new army was ready for street fighting.

Therefore, do not underestimate the rebel army, and do not overestimate the combat effectiveness of your new army.

After reading it, the emperor was even more moved.

It’s still Su Yi, it’s still Su Yi.

I am not willing to hide anything from me at all, even if it is detrimental to myself.

Immediately afterwards, Su Yi expressed his views on the entire battle situation.

Jiangbei camp is as stable as Mount Tai.

The entire southern Jiangsu is as stable as Mount Tai.

The emperor did not need to worry at all, although the Jiangnan camp was breached, Jiangsu governor Jierhang'a died in the battle, and the imperial envoy Xiang Rong died in the battle.

However, the main force of the Jiangnan Camp suffered little loss, with at least 70 to 80% remaining.

And analysis shows that Yang Xiuqing, the rebel king, will definitely use this victory to solve internal problems.

So next, there will be a fierce internal fight within the rebellion.

What we do is to quietly rebuild our defense without worrying, but we don't want to provoke rebellion.

We must create a stable environment for internal fighting for Fa Ni, and do not let Fa Ni target the imperial court again.

In the end, Su Yi made a decisive decision.

Within half a year, drastic changes will definitely occur in Tianjing.

Within two or three years, the Jiangbei camp will be worry-free.

Jiangnan Camp can be rebuilt calmly, and it will also be worry-free within three years.

In the words of the emperor, Su Yi's secret message eliminated all my mental internal friction.

In a moment, the emperor's anxiety was relieved by most of it.

Finally, he no longer had to lie awake at night, and through Su Yi's eyes, the emperor seemed to really see the current war situation in the south clearly.

……………………

In the court hall the next day, the atmosphere was still anxious.

They are all worried about whether the rebellious army will take advantage of the victory to pursue it, and whether they will take advantage of the collapse of the Jiangnan camp to send troops to attack the wealthy areas in southern Jiangsu.

It was even proposed that Su Yi's new army should go south to Danyang to block the front troops that would advance eastward or south.

If the emperor had not received Su Yi's secret message, he would have been very tempted by this proposal.

But now, he was confident and said slowly: "According to the intelligence, there is an irreconcilable conflict between the rebellious bandit leaders Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan, so Su Yi's new army cannot be mobilized to go south at this time, otherwise it will stimulate the revolt, which is absolutely not allowed. "

"Everyone, please be patient. Although the Jiangnan camp has been destroyed, the main force is still there. The rebellion and internal fighting are in full swing. The financial and taxation areas of southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang are still stable."

"The situation looks anxious right now, but in fact the camp in Jiangbei is stable and the situation in Jiangnan is stable. That's what Xu Xutu will do."

"I'm not panicking, so why are you panicking?"

For a moment, everyone felt strange.

If I remember correctly, we were not the most panicked people in the past few days, right?

Of course, the emperor was still very uneasy despite his pretense.

He was afraid that Su Yi would make a wrong judgment and that he would be slapped in the face.

As a result, for the first time, spies were dispatched to the capital.

What a pity, the Qing court finally sent people to Tianjing.

You must know that Zeng Guofan had already sent him.

And everything that happened next seemed to be based on Su Yi's judgment.

The fight inside Tianjing City began to rage, and there was no time to fight outside.

The surviving troops in the Jiangnan camp were originally panicked, thinking that the rebellious army would come after them at any time, but in the end they didn't.

As a result, Zhang Guoliang and others calmed down, gathered their troops, and began to reorganize the defense line.

The emperor decreed that He Chun, the governor of Jiangnan, and the imperial envoy should supervise the military affairs of Jiangnan and rebuild the Jiangnan camp.

When the emperor learned about it, he was even more delighted.

Su Yi's vision was so accurate that all situations developed exactly as he judged.

This kind of talent is really rare.

………………………………

After some time, the emperor was completely sure that the war situation in Jiangnan was stable.

So, he couldn't wait and directly issued an order for Su Yi to return to Beijing!

And asked him to bring a part of the new army back together, and he would hold a triumphal ceremony for the new army.

Su Yi hesitated for a moment and decided to take Wang Shiqing and Zhaobu back to Beijing, and a team of 300 cavalry.

September 15th!

Su Yi led a team of 300 horses on a large ship and headed north along the canal.

On the big ship, Wang Shiqing hesitated to speak.

Su Yi said: "Shiqing, do you have something to say?"

Wang Shiqing said: "Shuai Yi, why did you bring me and Zhaobu to the triumphal ceremony instead of Wang Tianyang, Lin Li, Bai Qi and others."

He was honest and said it directly.

Because everyone knows that Wang Tianyang, Lin Li, Bai Qi and others are Su Yi's absolute direct descendants.

As a result, none of them were called during the triumphal ceremony.

Wang Shiqing was worried that Su Yi did not regard him and Zhaobu as one of his own?

Su Yi said: "The reason why I call you is because you are the deputy commander and you have to learn to be on your own. When I am not around, you will have to lead the new army. So you have to adapt to some situations in advance."

"The reason why he was called Zhaobu is because he wanted to come, but he couldn't tell the hardship."

"In the eyes of the Eight Banners nobles, he is a traitor. Although my sister is favored in the palace, she is scolded by the Eight Banners nobles and can't raise her head, so she wants to take the opportunity to show off."

Wang Shiqing said: "Now that you put it, I understand. Thank you for your support, Marshal Yi."

…………………………………………

Su Ye's new army has not yet entered the capital, but the whole capital has begun to get restless.

Because the emperor issued an order to arrange a triumphal ceremony.

Ordered the capital to organize 3,000 officials and civilians to participate in the ceremony.

Ordered Prince Dun to lead dozens of relevant officials to personally come to Deshengmen to welcome the triumphant new army.

Ordered Boyan Nemohu to attend the ceremony, which is a murder.

Ordered Su Ye's entire family, Chong En's family, and Rui Lin's family to attend the ceremony and share the glory.

The Eight Banners nobles in the capital complained and felt that this was too much and too exaggerated.

It's just the capture of Yangzhou, why hold such a triumphal ceremony?

It's not the destruction of Tianjing.

It's not the complete suppression of the rebellion?

If you hold a triumphal ceremony now, what will you do in the future?

After Su Ye arrived in Tongzhou, he heard about the triumphal ceremony and immediately wrote a memorial and asked Zhao Bu to take it back to Beijing to meet the emperor.

It must not be so high-profile.

The emperor is too emotional.

Now the entire Eight Banners in the court are hostile to Su Ye and regard him as a thorn in the eye.

This kind of triumphal ceremony is completely adding fuel to the fire.

The most important thing is that it really didn't reach that point. It was just a good victory, not a great victory.

Holding such a triumphal ceremony now will be passive in the future.

Zhao Bu took Su Ye's memorial and immediately returned to Beijing.

And Su Ye, with 300 new army cavalry, still stayed in Tongzhou and did not enter Beijing.

After receiving Su Ye's memorial, the emperor suddenly felt that he had gone too far.

Concubine Yi said, "Then do as Su Ye said, reduce the scale, let a military minister greet outside Desheng Gate, and reduce the number of spectators to three to five hundred. But let Su Ye's family and relatives all be present, so that they can enjoy the glory."

The emperor thought for a while and said, "Let's do it, but Boyan Nemohu must attend the ceremony."

…………………………………………………………

Two days later!

Outside Desheng Gate, the security was strict and the flags were flying.

A gorgeous court band was waiting solemnly.

Although this triumphal ceremony was small in scale, it was very solemn and formal.

Su Ye's family, Chong En's family, and Rui Lin's family sat on the built viewing platform.

Military Minister Du Han and Khorchin Prince Boyan Nemohu were waiting outside the gate to welcome Su Ye's new army.

Du Han was still able to keep a smile on his face.

And Boyan was a little ashamed and angry.

The emperor's move was simply heartbreaking.

I lost to Su Ye on the southern battlefield, and now everyone is scolding me for bringing shame to the Eight Banners.

Next, I am asked to lead Su Ye's horse in person?

What a shame.

Father Su He looked around and first said to his brother on the left, Su Dong: "Brother, your family was not originally on the list of spectators, but I thought it was not possible. We are brothers, we are a family. How can we not have the eldest brother at such a glorious moment? So I asked someone to add your family."

Su Dong forced a smile and said: "Thank you."

We actually didn't want to come. It's much more uncomfortable to see relatives prosper than to see strangers prosper.

Of course, this mentality will change in the future. When Su Ye reaches a higher position, they will be proud of it.

Then, the old man looked at his brother-in-law Tong Jiewu on the right and said, "You are the closest to me. When he gets married, you will be the first table. How can you miss your dear uncle at such a glorious moment?"

Tong Jiewu felt sour in his heart, but he smiled and said, "Su Ye has made it. It is not only a big happy event for the Jueluo family, but also a big happy event for our Tong family. Father has been so happy these days."

Aunt Wu Ya said, "Yes, yes, I have said it long ago. Su Ye will definitely make it. Look, look, I am not wrong."

Su Quan didn't want to see this scene, so he turned his head and looked at his wife, intending to complain to her.

As a result, he found that his wife's eyes fell on Qingqing's belly, and he couldn't help but look at it.

But he didn't look at half of it, so he quickly looked away.

Don't look at it if it's not appropriate.

Bai Feifei was also alert immediately and couldn't look at Qingqing's belly.

The eldest princess Qingqing is now divorced, and she can't let others know that she is pregnant.

Qingqing shouldn't come, but she can't help it.

And now it's still early, and her belly is not obvious at all.

She just wants to see her man at first sight and share this joy with him.

As a result, Bai Feifei didn't look at her belly, but Qingqing's mother looked at her belly.

Little Princess Zhenzhen hid at home for several days and didn't dare to go out to see people.

This time she hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to come. She told herself, I'm not here to see Su Ye, I'm here to see my brother Huai Tabu.

Su Ye and I have no relationship anymore, and there will be no relationship in the future.

He wants to climb up the dragon and attach himself to the phoenix, and he doesn't look down on little girls like us.

Here they come!

In the distance, Su Ye appeared with the new army.

More than 300 people watching the ceremony suddenly became agitated and stood up to look.

Military Minister Du Han felt helpless and said to Boyan beside him: "Prince, you will be killed if you stick your head out or hide your head. Go ahead!"

Su Ye's new army cavalry was getting closer and closer.

"Play music!"

The music started playing at the Desheng Gate.

It was the traditional "Triumphal Song".

Even if it was a small-scale triumphal ceremony, Su Ye didn't want it because this battle was not big enough.

However, he could only accept the emperor's favor.

When Su Ye's cavalry approached, Du Han, the military minister, came forward with dozens of officials and bowed, saying: "Welcome to the triumphant return of the new army!"

Su Ye immediately dismounted and bowed to Du Han, saying: "I dare not!"

Du Han said: "Brother Su Ye, you have worked hard."

Su Ye said: "I dare not say that I have worked hard for the country and the king."

Du Han said: "The emperor has ordered that Boyan Nemohu will lead Su Ye's horse and enter Desheng Gate."

Suddenly, Boyan Nemohu's face turned red and he came forward and said: "Lord Su Ye, please get on the horse."

This time, Su Ye put away all his smiles, his face was serious, and he got on the horse.

He was not polite to Boyan at all.

After getting on the horse, the triumphal music continued to play.

Under the eyes of the public, Boyan Nemohu led Su Ye's tall horse and entered Desheng Gate step by step.

This road seemed incomparably long.

This period of time seemed incomparably long.

This was a great shame, a shame that he had never experienced in his life.

Especially, everyone's eyes were still on his face, and some were gloating.

Su Ye didn't want this triumphal ceremony, but when he saw his parents, brother and sister-in-law, and saw Grand Princess Qingqing and Chongen, he was relieved.

He didn't need it, but his family did.

Even the unreliable father was in tears at this time, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

Grand Princess Qingqing's eyes were like fire and water.

And Lord Chongen looked at Su Ye with tears streaming down his face.

Although his son Tingren didn't come back this time, it was exactly the same for Chongen.

Su Ye placed more of his ideals, and at this time he was considered his half-son.

Su Ye's eyes accidentally glanced at the face of Little Princess Zhenzhen.

At this time, Zhenzhen was staring at him in a daze, with complicated eyes.

Seeing Su Ye's eyes looking at him, the two looked at each other, Zhenzhen was startled, and immediately avoided his eyes, and then bravely met his eyes again, glaring at Su Ye fiercely.

After entering Deshengmen.

Eunuch Zenglu was waiting inside.

Su Ye quickly dismounted.

Eunuch Zenglu said loudly: "The emperor has ordered that Su Ye has worked hard and made great contributions. He has been away from home for several months. He does not need to return to the palace to report the order. Go home and reunite with your family. Come to see me tomorrow morning. I will reward you according to your merits. This is the order!"

Su Ye bowed: "I thank the emperor for his grace. Long live the emperor!"
