Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 133 Zeng Guofan steps down! Su Ye’s overall situation!

In history, Zeng Guofan was in the Ruizhou camp in Jiangxi at this time, being bullied by Jiangxi bureaucrats. Shi Dakai had won victory after victory in Jiangxi and had surrounded Nanchang.

On the other side, Hu Linyi had just recovered Wuchang City and became the governor of Hubei. He was in high spirits for a while, which made Zeng Guofan look depressed.

Zeng Guofan’s originally stable position as the leader of the Hunan Army became blurred, and Hu Linyi had the intention of surpassing him.

Then, in March, Zeng Guofan received the news of his father’s death. Seeing his former subordinates promoted and being squeezed out by Jiangxi bureaucrats, Zeng Guofan was directly angry and left.

He ran away without caring about the urgent military situation on the front line, which almost made Emperor Xianfeng angry.

In this world, Zeng Guofan’s situation was much better.

Because he got the position of Hubei governor two or three years ago, and his good brother Hu Linyi has always been willing to be under him. After the defeat in Jiujiang, he has been steadily developing and growing. Now he has a strong army and horses, and he has driven the governor of Jiangxi out of office.

Now he is the first to recover Wuchang and the entire Hubei.

Therefore, Zeng Guofan is much more proud than in history, it is simply a highlight moment.

As a result... this person still made a similar choice.

Fuck!

I quit.

In history, he couldn't stand the cowardice of those Jiangxi bureaucrats.

In this world, he doesn't want to be cowardly by Su Ye.

Resign directly!

Emperor Xianfeng was not only stunned, but also completely angry.

You... what do you mean?

Bully me for being young?

Just because of such a small matter, you keep saying that you want to resign?

Do you think that my Qing Dynasty can't do without you, Zeng Guofan?

For a time, Emperor Xianfeng almost wanted to agree directly.

I accept it!

You can resign.

However, the remaining rationality told Emperor Xianfeng that this could not be done.

From a certain perspective, it was also his own fault. The Military Affairs Council had already approved it, and he also allowed it, to let Hu Linyi be the governor of Jiangxi and Shen Baozhen be the governor of Jiangxi.

As a result, because Su Ye interfered, this major event was stuck.

As an emperor, he originally wanted to help Su Ye vent his anger, but he did not expect that it would turn into this situation.

Zeng Guofan actually resigned and put him, the emperor, on it.

Suddenly, the emperor felt that Su Ye was causing trouble.

But to some extent, Su Ye was not wrong.

He said that he wanted to be the prefect of Jiujiang and the censor of Jiangxi, also for his emperor, that he wanted to insert a nail in Jiangxi and prevent the Hunan Army from becoming completely powerful.

Su Ye was also loyal.

The emperor stepped forward to support Zeng Guofan and said, "My dear, why do you have to say such angry words? Su Ye is young and hot-tempered. You should bear more. I will help you blame him."

The emperor used almost all his reason to say this.

Zeng Guofan did not say any more radical words and left directly.

It was considered an unpleasant parting.

………………………………………………………………

Zeng Guofan resigned?

This news spread throughout the officialdom of the capital.

Then, almost most people entered the state of eating melons.

Wen Qing, Su Shun and others have always supported the Hunan Army and received great benefits from the Hunan Army.

But for other officials, they did not have a good impression of Zeng Guofan.

Su Ye was awesome. He actually forced Zeng Guofan, the commander of the Hunan Army and the most powerful frontier official, to resign.

However, Zeng Guofan, are you pretending or are you serious?

If you are serious, it will be interesting, that is, forcing the emperor to choose one of the two.

The emperor could only choose one between Zeng Guofan and Su Ye.

Then, everyone watched the reactions of Su Ye and Zeng Guofan.

Let's see who will take a step back first?

Let's see who will compromise?

The crowd didn't wait long.

Zeng Guofan made a move directly.

The next day, he publicly submitted a memorial and resigned again.

This was very formal.

It was a public falling out.

The emperor was officially asked to choose between him and Su Ye.

Everyone was surprised. Zeng Guofan, you are really fiery and can't tolerate any sand in your eyes.

With this situation, even if the emperor gave the governor of Jiangxi to Hu Linyi and the governor of Jiangxi to Shen Baozhen, it would not work.

Su Ye must be punished to save Zeng Guofan's face before he stopped.

The emperor kept it in his hands and did not allow Zeng Guofan to resign.

The situation was so stiff there.

…………………………………………………………

Su Ye’s home had a secret visitor, Leng Mu, the deputy of the New Army Intelligence Department.

“Marshal, the situation in Tianjing has been set up.”

“The two sides are already at loggerheads, and a little spark will set it off.”

Hong Xiuquan and Wei Changhui have been patient to the extreme.

Hei Gong and others lurked around Wei Changhui and Chen Chengrong to fan the flames.

It was useful, but at most it was just fueling the flames.

The key core was Yang Xiuqing’s own personality and the irreconcilable contradiction between him and Hong Xiuquan.

Therefore, as long as the logic here does not change, the Tianjing Incident will still break out.

…………………………………

Chong En and Rui Lin have come to talk to Su Ye these days.

They both expressed their concerns.

Although Su Ye was favored, his strength and power were too small compared to Zeng Guofan.

The emperor was not a tough person after all. Once he was overwhelmed, he would quickly choose to compromise.

At that time, in order to appease the Hunan Army, what should be done if Su Ye was sacrificed?

In the eyes of many people, Su Ye was fighting with Zeng Guofan.

However, Su Ye knew how he could fight?

It was obvious that he wanted to use Zeng Guofan's fiery and stubborn character to complete his goal of swallowing up.

He was too far away from the position of governor of Jiangxi, and he only had 3,000 new troops on hand, while Shi Dakai had tens of thousands of troops in Jiangxi, all of which were elite forces. He wanted to seize the entire Jiangxi by his own strength?

It was completely impossible to rely purely on military force.

At this time, it was necessary to use the tens of thousands of strong troops of the Hunan Army. Su Ye wanted to play a trick of using a small force to achieve a great result.

…………………………………………

On the surface, Su Ye and Zeng Guofan seemed to have entered into a staring game.

See who will compromise first.

The emperor was in a dilemma.

Then, a piece of news came, which directly broke the balance.

Someone came to report the death.

Zeng Guofan's father Zeng Linshu died.

When Zeng Guofan heard the news, he was also shocked for a long time.

After a long while, he burst into tears and almost fainted.

………………………………………

The next day, in the court.

Zeng Guofan was present, and Su Ye was also present.

The whole court seemed to be on the verge of a fight.

At this time, Zeng Guofan seemed to have the momentum of a mourning soldier.

Sure enough, the court meeting had just begun.

Zeng Guofan stepped out of the line and said, "Your Majesty, I impeach Su Ye for avenging private grudges with public power, abandoning public power for private reasons, being unworthy of the emperor and the country, and being unable to perform his duties. Please punish me."

After saying this, he stood in the center of the court, bowed and did not move.

He showed his strong will.

Chongen stepped out of the line and said, "Mr. Zeng, what's wrong with Su Ye wanting to be the prefect of Jiujiang and the censor of Jiangxi? Are you so overbearing? Important official positions can only be occupied by you?"

Zeng Guofan ignored Chongen and just stared at the emperor.

The emperor said nothing.

Seeing the emperor's attitude, Zeng Guofan was extremely indignant.

Then, he bowed down again and said, "Your Majesty, I would like to return to my hometown to observe mourning!"

The last time he submitted a memorial, this time he publicly gave up the task in the court.

This is the third time!

The emperor was so angry that he trembled all over. After a long while, he made a sound.

"Approved!"

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Did the emperor really choose between the two?

Although it is common sense to mourn for the emperor, Zeng Guofan's position is so important, and the military situation is so intense, so he should be forced to take his place.

Now, are you really letting Zeng Guofan go home?

What about the war in Jiangxi?

Shi Dakai, the rebel, is attacking cities and plundering land there.

Zeng Guofan's body trembled slightly and said, "I accept your order, thank you."

Then, Zeng Guofan left the court directly and left Beijing immediately that day.

Originally, Wen Qing, the leading military minister, wanted to persuade the emperor, but Su Shun shook his head.

The timing is not right, the heat is not enough, and there is no need to take action.

……………………………………………………

After leaving the court.

The emperor was furious.

Zeng Guofan, you really don't know what's good for you.

I don't believe it. Without you, the butcher Zhang, I will have to eat hairy pigs.

That's right, only the Hunan Army can fight in the Jiangxi war, and I can only rely on you, the Hunan Army.

However, the Hunan Army is not only led by you, Zeng Guofan, but also by Hu Linyi.

You, Zeng Guofan, dare to give up, I don't believe Hu Linyi dares to do so.

A few days later, the imperial envoy arrived in Wuchang.

"By the order of the Emperor of Heaven and Mandate of Heaven, Hu Linyi has recovered Wuchang and has made great contributions. He is appointed as the acting governor of Jiangxi and the prince's guardian. Jiangxi is in chaos. I hope you will lead your army south as soon as possible to clear the world. I decree this!"

Hu Linyi kowtowed: "I accept the order and thank you. Long live the emperor!"

The imperial envoy said to Hu Linyi: "Mr. Hu, the emperor has a great favor to you. Please don't let him down."

Hu Linyi took out silver and bribed the imperial envoy heavily.

After the imperial envoy left, Zeng Guofan came out.

After leaving the capital, he did not immediately go to his hometown to mourn, but came directly to Wuchang.

"Congratulations, brother Fusheng, you can finally spread your wings and fly high." Zeng Guofan bowed to Hu Linyi.

Hu Linyi said, "Brother Disheng, why do you laugh at me?"

The emperor appointed him as the acting governor of Jiangxi. The meaning is very clear. It is only temporary. When you lead the army to Jiangxi and win at least one battle, you will be the governor of Jiangxi.

Zeng Guofan said, "According to the emperor's meaning, when you conquer Jiujiang, the position of governor of Jiangxi will fall on your head."

Hu Linyi was caught in the most difficult decision of his life.

He is a person with extremely high emotional intelligence and smooth work, which is completely different from Zeng Guofan.

And he also has his own ambitions and wants to be valued by the emperor.

If it is a normal situation, Zeng Guofan will return to his hometown to mourn.

Then Hu Linyi is very happy to take over the emperor's task and lead the main force of the Hunan Army to recover Jiangxi.

But in the current situation, it is obviously not possible.

If he really did that, he would be a traitor in the eyes of all the Hunan Army.

And he was also very angry. Did the emperor value Su Ye so much?

Even at the cost of the face of tens of thousands of Hunan Army?

Although Zeng Guofan was too stubborn and strong, he repeatedly resigned and forced the emperor to choose between the two.

In the end, the emperor really chose Su Ye and abandoned Zeng Guofan?

How could there be such a tyrant as you?

Su Ye only had 3,000 new troops, what use could he have?

Jiangxi can only be recovered by our Hunan Army, and you still come to slap the face of the Hunan Army?

Now you promote me again, want to divide the Hunan Army?

But Hu Linyi was unwilling to openly play against the emperor. He was not Zeng Guofan, and he was not of this character.

He was still thinking about pleasing the emperor.

How can we find a way to have the best of both worlds? How to not offend both sides?

Hu Linyi racked his brains.

………………………………………………………………

Two days later!

Hu Linyi didn't have to worry about it, because a Taiping Army entered Hubei.

God-given opportunity, now he finally had a reason.

So, he immediately submitted a memorial to report to the emperor.

When the rebel army entered Hubei, he immediately led his army to fight. After destroying the rebel army, he went south to recover Jiangxi.

Then, Hu Linyi immediately mobilized a large army to fight against the Taiping army to show his loyalty to the king.

However, this was Shi Dakai's strategy of making a feint to the east and attacking the west.

He sent an army to feint to Hubei, but the main force was actually pointing to Nanchang.

…………………………………………

Inside the city of Tianjing of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Although the historical key node was several months late, it still arrived according to strong inertia.

At this time, Hei Gong and others were lurking under the command of Chen Chengrong, the general of Tianjing.

This was arranged by Su Ye after a long period of consideration.

On the surface, the important figure in the Tianjing Incident was Wei Changhui, but in fact it was Chen Chengrong.

After breaking the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps, Yang Xiuqing's reputation reached its peak.

He was not in a hurry to attack southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, but instead ordered the army to return to Tianjing, in order to solve internal problems first, seize the highest power first, and then seize the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Shi Dakai formed his own faction, commanding tens of thousands of elite troops, and he was smooth and did not really stand on the same side.

Yang Xiuqing was worried that he would get in the way, so he sent him away.

Shi Dakai did not want to get involved in the fight between Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan, and he also had his own thoughts, so he held on to the military power and concentrated on the Western Expedition.

At this moment, he was desperately attacking Jiangxi.

In history, Zeng Guofan and a considerable part of the Hunan Army were in Jiangxi at this time, so Shi Dakai had a hard time fighting.

In this world, although there were Hunan Army in Jiangxi, the number was much smaller, and most of the Hunan Army was besieging Jiujiang.

Therefore, Shi Dakai seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and attacked more frantically.

This day!

After Yang Xiuqing sent away the non-direct troops, he began to plan to seize power.

The entire Tianjing garrison army was under the control of Chen Chengyong.

Yang Xiuqing thought that Chen Chengyong was his absolute confidant and obeyed him completely.

Little did he know that Chen Chengyong hated Yang Xiuqing to the core.

Because Yang Xiuqing was cruel to his political enemies, but also to his trusted subordinates.

He would beat people with sticks at any time.

He would beat them with dozens or even hundreds of sticks at any time. So Chen Chengyong was no exception and suffered such humiliation.

After completely mastering the military power in Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing staged his ultimate drama of seizing power.

He directly summoned Hong Xiuquan to the East King's Mansion and once again played the role of God the Father and scolded Hong Xiuquan.

"You and the East King are both my sons. The East King has made such great contributions, why should he be called "Long Live the King for his great achievements?"

Hong Xiuquan knelt down and said, "The East King has won the country, so he should be called "Long Live the King for Thousands of Years"."

Yang Xiuqing, who was possessed by the Father, said again, "How can the East Prince be called "Long Live the King for Thousands of Years?"

At this moment, Hong Xiuquan collapsed. In his heart, there were probably 10,000 "Fuck you, Yang Xiuqing" mothers.

This is too much. It was fine that he pretended to be possessed by the Father before and asked me for a beauty.

Today, you want to seize power and call yourself "Long Live the King", but you also want to call your son "Long Live the King for Thousands of Years"?

What do you think of me?

But the situation was pressing, and the military power of Tianjing was in the hands of Yang Xiuqing. Hong Xiuquan could only tremble and say: "Since the Eastern King is called Long Live, the Crown Prince should also be called Long Live, and all generations will be long live."

Yang Xiuqing, who was possessed by the Father, was overjoyed: "I will return to heaven."

Then, Hong Xiuquan said cautiously: "The Eastern King is called Long Live, and the Eastern Crown Prince is also called Long Live, so what should I do as the Heavenly King?"

Yang Xiuqing said: "The Heavenly King will be called Wan Wansui!"

Hong Xiuquan agreed in fear and helplessly.

So, it was really a wonder that three Long Live appeared in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at once.

When Heigong heard the news, he was overjoyed.

Is it finally coming?

Next, is the master finally going to show his skills?

Are we going to do something big too?

Su Ye, who was prophetic and foresighted, would of course squeeze the benefits brought by the Tianjing Incident to the extreme and use them to the extreme.

And now he no longer needs to rely on the predictions of the charlatans to make merit.

On the contrary, he had to conceal the key time points of the Tianjing Incident and then seek the greatest benefits for him.

Military interests, political interests.

………………………………………………………………

A few days later!

Princess Shouan found Su Ye with a worried look on her face, saying that the emperor felt a little regretful. He shouldn't have made things difficult for the Hunan Army just to vent his anger on Su Ye, which led to complications and put him, the emperor, in a passive position.

Of course, the emperor wouldn't say it, but Princess Shouan felt it.

"Six hundred miles, hurry!"

"Six hundred miles urgent!"

Another wave of messengers came to Beijing, and this time their arms were not tied with red ribbons.

Those who are interested can't help but be shocked after seeing it.

This... is this the reward for defeat?

Where did it fall again?

When the messenger entered the palace, he first reported to the military department and then to the emperor.

"Nanchang has fallen!"

"Rebellion officially captured Nanchang!"

What? Nanchang fell?

This is another important town.

Hearing the bad news, the emperor closed his eyes in pain.

Several military ministers present looked at the emperor quickly.

During this period, Su Yi blocked the Hunan Army from seeking the posts of governor of Jiangxi and chief envoy of Jiangxi, and Zeng Guofan came to Beijing to fight against Su Yi.

Sushun, Du Han and others clearly stood by Zeng Guofan, but they said nothing.

When Zeng Guofan impeached Su Yi, Sushun, Duanhua, Wenqing and other giants did not follow suit.

They even suppressed the impeachment of Su Yi by the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The meaning is clear.

Do it, just do it.

Su Yi, your holy love is so strong, we won’t stop you.

Now come the consequences.

And the way they looked at the emperor was quite heart-wrenching.

Your Majesty, take a look.

You favored Su Yi so much, supported him, and suppressed the face of the Hunan Army.

Now the Hunan Army is passive and sabotaging, Nanchang has fallen, and the entire Jiangxi has basically fallen.

Have you tasted the bitter pill?

Su Yi, you don't have much ability, why do you want to provoke the Hunan Army?

Now that Jiangxi has fallen, can you, Su Yi, with only two to three thousand new troops, still be able to take the lead?

At this time, the emperor actually regretted it.

Although Su Yi was loyal, it was for the sake of the Qing Dynasty, and he did not block the Hunan Army's path for his own selfish reasons.

But it is indeed a bit overestimating one's capabilities.

The emperor is very conflicted now. On the one hand, he feels that Su Yi has mistaken me!

On the other hand, he felt that Su Yi insisted on entering Jiangxi and driving a nail into the Hunan Army just for the sake of him as the emperor.

But what now?

Nanchang fell.

Most of Jiangxi fell.

Military sentiment is on fire!

It doesn't matter if it's just Jiangxi. The key is that after taking Jiangxi, Shi Dakai will definitely attack western Zhejiang and then attack Hangzhou!

How much of the imperial court's taxes came from Zhejiang?

Once the rebel army enters Zhejiang? The consequences would be disastrous.

The military situation is like a fire, and the rebellion must be contained in the shortest possible time.

And now the only one who can stop the rebellion is the Hunan Army.

Will Hu Linyi follow Zeng Guofan to advance and retreat together?

Do you really want to surrender to Zeng Guofan?

In this case, wouldn't it be just spitting on one's own face?

Not long ago, in the second choice, he chose Su Yi and drove Zeng Guofan back to his hometown.

Are you asking him to come out now?

How could a person of Zeng Guofan's temperament agree so easily?

The key to getting Zeng Guofan out of trouble was Su Yi, and the emperor couldn't help but sigh.

"Come here, summon Su Yi into the palace."

…………………………………………

Half an hour later!

Su Yi entered the palace and met with the emperor in Sanxi Hall.

"I see your Majesty, long live, long live, long live!"

The emperor had a good attitude and directly helped Su Yi up. Then he smiled and said: "Su Yi, you negotiated with the British some time ago and made such a big contribution. You were originally going to be rewarded, but it was delayed by that incident. Sorry, I'm really sorry."

"But don't worry, I will reward you for your merits. I will give you a reward at the meeting tomorrow."

Su Yi said: "I thank the Lord for your kindness."

The emperor said: "Nanchang has fallen, and most of the state capitals in Jiangxi are also in danger. Once they rebel and invade Zhejiang, it will be unimaginable. The military situation is on fire, and now the only one who can save the situation is the Hunan Army."

"Su Yi, I know your loyalty. Some time ago, you blocked the way of the Hunan Army, and it was entirely for our sake, the Qing Dynasty, and for the sake of our ancestors. I have always been deeply grateful to you."

"The military situation is at a fever pitch now, and the imperial court is looking to the Hunan Army for help, so I may have to wrong you on some matters."

"But don't worry, in my heart, you are always one of my own, the person I am closest to and the most respected."

"I have wronged you today, and I will compensate you many times over tomorrow."

The emperor's words were already obvious.

Su Yi immediately bowed down and said, "Your Majesty, you must not say this. As long as it is for the good of the Qing Dynasty, as long as it is for the sake of the Emperor, what does it matter if I suffer some grievances?"

"For the sake of my ancestors' country, I will not be wronged."

The emperor said: "I am very touched by your understanding of the general situation, and I am also relieved."

…………………………………………

At the court hall the next day.

There is only one topic today, how to face the war situation in Jiangxi?

More precisely, how to mobilize the enthusiasm of the Hunan Army to go to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion.

The Sushun Party finally came forward.

Duanhua came out and said: "Your Majesty, the military situation is like a fire. I ask Zeng Guofan to come back and lead the army to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion."

Du Han came out and said: "Your Majesty, the military situation is like a fire. I would like to ask Zeng Guofan to come back."

Zaiyuan came out and said: "I second the proposal."

Wen Qing, the chief military minister, came out and said: "Your Majesty, I would like to ask Zeng Guofan to come back."

Then, dozens of ministers all came out.

It has become a consensus to let the Hunan army go to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion.

It has become a consensus to win over Zeng Guofan and let him come back.

The key is how to make Zeng Guofan come back?

I was wronged before, and the culprit was Su Ye.

Does Su Ye have to pay a huge price? To calm Zeng Guofan's anger.

Su Ye stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, for the sake of the Jiangxi war and the country of our ancestors, I am willing to give in, to apologize to Zeng Guofan, and even to obey your majesty's orders."

Everyone was relieved when they heard this.

Why did you do it in the first place?

We know that you have a grudge against Zeng Guofan, but you don't have the strength, so why do you challenge Zeng Guofan?

Now you want to ask Zeng Guofan to come out, isn't it humiliating yourself?

It is true that you have successfully negotiated with the British and made great contributions. But can your power compare with the Hunan Army?

The emperor was about to speak.

At this time, the military minister Ruilin stepped out.

"Your Majesty, the Military Affairs Office received the memorial from Hu Linyi, the acting governor of Jiangxi, two days ago. I don't know why it was not presented to Your Majesty."

The emperor's face changed slightly, and he said, "Show it to me."

But Duanhua, Du Han and others secretly cried out in their hearts.

After driving Zeng Guofan home, the emperor had great expectations for Hu Linyi, the second-in-command of the Hunan Army.

He was specially appointed as the acting governor of Jiangxi, and was also appointed as the Prince's Guardian, hoping that he could replace Zeng Guofan and lead the Hunan Army to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion.

Now that there is Hu Linyi's memorial, he is of course concerned.

He took Hu Linyi's memorial and read it quickly.

The emperor couldn't believe it immediately.

After reading it again, the emperor was so angry that he trembled all over.

Then, he flew into a rage: "What did Hu Linyi say in his memorial? The rebel army had entered Hubei, so he had to lead his army to attack it, and he could not go south to Jiangxi to quell the rebellion for the time being!"

"Does he treat me like a three-year-old child?"

"The rebel army had gone to Jiangxi, and Nanchang had fallen. Where did the rebel army come from in Hubei?"

"I value him so much, but he shirked responsibility and lied to me?"

In fact, this was really unfair to Hu Linyi.

He really didn't want to go against the emperor's will, but he couldn't betray the Hunan Army.

It happened that Shi Dakai was making a feint to the east and attacking in the west. There was indeed an army entering Hubei for a feint attack. He quickly seized this opportunity to express his position to Zeng Guofan and all the Hunan Army brothers.

Who knows, Shi Dakai directly broke Nanchang.

At this time, the emperor was extremely sad.

In the entire south, only the Hunan Army was available. In order to let Zeng Guofan come out, he also planned to wrong Su Ye.

As a result, Hu Linyi also directly contradicted him now. Okay, okay, this is how it works, right!

"This is too much, this is too much!" The emperor slapped the memorial in his hand.

"My ministers, are you just going to watch me being deceived?"

The whole audience was silent.

Only Su Ye stepped out, his face full of indignation.

"Your Majesty, I have something to say!"

The emperor said, "You speak!"

Su Ye said, "Before, I said I wanted to be the governor of Jiangxi, but it was just a joke. Now the Hunan Army is so deceiving the emperor, and no one in the world can share the worries of the emperor!"

"Then, I really have to be the governor of Jiangxi."
