Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 146 Jiangxi victory enters the palace! Hong Renli sacrifices himself!

On the top of Nanchang City, the flag of the Taiping Army slowly descended.

The dragon flag of the Qing court and the flag of Su Ye's new army slowly rose.

Then most of the new army immediately climbed up the city wall and entered a defensive state.

At this time, Yang Fuqing had not given up. After the city was broken, he led the last few hundred people to retreat to the governor's office and continued to resist.

A thousand Su Ye's new army continued to chase and kill.

Then, a new round of battles was fought in the Jiangxi Governor's Office.

But at this time, Yang Fuqing's army was obviously not doing well.

It's not that the combat effectiveness suddenly decreased, but the fighting will collapsed.

Before this siege, Yang Fuqing was actually full of confidence.

Although he failed to attack Jiujiang, he had pushed up the city wall many times, and if it weren't for Lin Qirong's Taiping Army to participate in the battle at the last moment, Jiujiang City might have been broken.

So in Yang Fuqing's mind, Su Ye's new army might be powerful, but... that's all.

And this time, Su Ye attacked the city with 3,000 men, and he defended with 2,000 men.

According to conventional theory, this battle is worth fighting.

He felt that he could defend Nanchang City, and as for the tens of thousands of Hunan troops coming, he would wait and see.

But when the battle really started, he didn't expect that Su Ye's new army would perform so well in the battle under such circumstances.

First of all, not to mention that Yang Fuqing's two thousand men were extremely tired after fighting fiercely all night last night, the key is that once Su Ye's new army has a numerical advantage and can suppress firepower, its combat effectiveness is completely explosive.

First, suppress firepower in a small area, and then continuously send death squads to deliver gunpowder.

Finally, use more than a few thousand kilograms of gunpowder to directly detonate the city gate.

This tactic has been fully verified when attacking Yangzhou City, and it is very useful.

Therefore, it was very unexpected that Yang Fuqing didn't expect that this battle lasted only one hour, and Nanchang City was breached.

At this time, although he led hundreds of people to retreat into the governor's office, it was useless.

These hundreds of people had been stunned and exhausted.

If this continued, it would only be a matter of time before the whole army was destroyed.

And Yang Fuqing also saw this.

He knew that the governor's office could not be defended, so he did not escape, but walked towards the backyard of the governor's office.

Because Prime Minister Hong Renli was still there.

When he rushed in, Hong Renli sat there quietly.

"Prime Minister, you go quickly, you go quickly."

"Su Ye's army is about to come in, and Nanchang City is about to break."

"He has few troops, and it is impossible for him to guard all the city walls. You can still escape. I will cover you and block Su Ye's army for the last period of time."

"You go quickly, go quickly, and return to Tianjing!"

And Hong Renli still sat there, motionless.

Yang Fuqing shouted: "Prime Minister, hurry up and leave."

Hong Renli said: "Yang Fuqing, I have betrayed the Kingdom of Heaven. I am Su Ye's man. I poisoned Wei Jun's cup yesterday, but he did not surrender. I was the instigator of the internal conflict between the two of you."

When these words came out, Yang Fuqing was stunned.

He couldn't even react at all, as if he had heard a heavenly book.

Hong Renli said: "And the imperial edict of the Heavenly King to appoint you as the auxiliary king is also fake. Now in Tianjing City, the Heavenly King and the Wing King are fighting openly and secretly, and they don't care about you at all."

This is another critical hit.

"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible." Yang Fuqing was trembling all over.

Hong Renli said: "Yang Fuqing, surrender. You are an excellent general. You will have a place under Su Ye."

Yang Fuqing's eyes gradually became crazy.

"No, no..." Yang Fuqing screamed, "You lied to me, you lied to me."

"You are the queen of heaven, the prime minister of heaven, how could you betray heaven, betray the king of heaven, absolutely impossible!"

"You must be possessed by a demon, you must be possessed by a ghost."

"Who are you? Get out of the prime minister's body quickly, or I will cut you into pieces, cut you into pieces..."

Then, Yang Fuqing rushed up like crazy, trying to strangle Hong Renli's neck and force the evil spirit out of her body.

Hong Renli dodged lightly and easily dodged.

"You evil spirit, I will kill you, kill you..." Yang Fuqing waved his sword and chopped at Hong Renli desperately.

"I will kill you, kill you!"

But Hong Renli was so skilled that even if she didn't fight back, she couldn't hurt her at all.

And Yang Fuqing, who was crazy, staggered and his moves were completely messed up.

And at this time!

Su Ye had already attacked the governor's office.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open.

Su Ye rushed in, and dozens of new soldiers rushed in, aiming at Yang Fuqing.

Yang Fuqing was stunned, looked at Su Ye, then looked at Hong Renli, and then let out a series of miserable howls.

Su Ye knew that the man in front of him would never surrender.

"General Yang Fuqing, I know you can't surrender, I'll give you dignity, you kill yourself." Su Ye said.

Yang Fuqing looked at the sword in his hand, and then looked at Su Ye.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you, despicable Qing demon!" Then, Yang Fuqing waved the sword and rushed towards Su Ye frantically.

"Bang bang bang..." Dozens of new soldiers fired at the same time!

Suddenly...

Yang Fuqing was stunned as if he had been hit by a hammer.

There were dozens of bullet holes all over the body.

A trickle of blood.

Then, the whole person collapsed to the ground and died with his eyes open.

Hong Renli looked at Yang Fuqing's body on the ground, sadness appeared on her extremely beautiful face, and tears fell from her eyes.

Su Yi waved her hand.

Dozens of new troops retreated.

One of the new soldiers even closed the door.

Then, they stood guard at the gate of the governor's office and no one was allowed to come into contact with him.

Hong Renli looked at Yang Fuqing's body, took off his cloak, covered it and said slowly: "After I die, I will definitely not be able to go to heaven. I will definitely go to hell."

"Su Yi, the new world you mentioned had better be good enough, and it had better be the real kingdom of heaven, otherwise... I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."

Su Yi stepped forward without speaking.

He held her beautiful face and kissed her gently.

Hong Renli couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly.

Then, respond even more enthusiastically.

Su Yi was still hesitating, but her hand had already been stretched out. The two men pulled into the inner room and could no longer see the body.

"enter!"

"Into...me!"

"Kill me to death!"

"Death to this woman who deserves to go to hell."

Then, Hong Renli seemed to turn into a female beast.

Su Yi seemed to have been raped.

Hong Renli ran his horse wildly, almost torn apart, venting his inner pain.

…………………………………………

When Su Yi returned to the city wall again, she only felt hot.

Fortunately, there are no bones, otherwise I would have broken bones.

Su Yi realized for the first time that he could not beat a woman.

Moreover, she does not allow you to take a break, it is completely uninterrupted.

She had toiled herself to the point of exhaustion, but... how fierce this person was.

so……

Not only was Su Yi feeling hot, she even felt like she was being hollowed out.

Backache!

At this time, there was a violent sound of horse hooves in the distance.

A troop of cavalry approaches from far away.

The leader is Luo Zenan.

When he discovered the flag on the city wall and saw Su Yi's new army on top of the city, Luo Zenan was almost struck by thunder.

The worst happened.

Damn it, Su Yi.

He actually occupied Nanchang City.

He...how did he do it?

There were at least 156,000 rebel defenders in Nanchang City. How did he defeat them in such a short period of time?

Their Hunan Army was already fast enough, with almost no delay, and they had not even moved so vigorously.

As a result, it was still too late.

Su Yi said: "Lord Luo Zenan, are you here to support me? Thank you very much!"

Luo Zenan didn't speak, but waved his hand.

The two thousand cavalry behind them stopped hard, and then looked quietly at the head of Nanchang City.

"Go and report to Master Hu Linyi as quickly as possible."

Then, Luo Zenan dismounted and camped on the spot.

He ignored Su Yi, but didn't retreat either.

It was obvious that he was waiting for orders.

……………………………………………………

An hour and a half later.

Hu Linyi heard this thunderbolt.

The whole person stood still.

I couldn't react for a long time.

"Sir, what should we do now? We will simply attack Nanchang without stopping, kill Su Yi, and then blame Fa Ni, and we can seize Nanchang City ourselves."

Hu Linyi couldn't help but look at this man.

Are you crazy?

If this is done, then the Hunan Army has only one way.

Direct rebellion.

The worst happened.

Su Yi captured Jiujiang and Nanchang.

Li Xubin said: "Sir, since you are here, you cannot go back empty-handed. Nowadays, there are still many state capitals in Jiangxi that are in the hands of Fa Ni. Guangxin Mansion, not far away, was captured by Fa Ni."

Hu Linyi almost gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Send troops to Guangxin Mansion and take back Guangxin Mansion!"

Doing all this doesn't make much sense anymore.

But this time the troops are dispatched with great fanfare, there must be an explanation.

Whether there is an explanation to the emperor, or to all the soldiers of the Hunan Army, there must be an explanation.

Otherwise, it would be too demoralizing to come in such a grand way and come back empty-handed.

…………………………………………

Next, these tens of thousands of Hunan troops seemed to go crazy.

Fighting all over Jiangxi, it seemed that he wanted to vent all his anger on Su Yi on the Taiping Army.

After losing Nanchang and Jiujiang, the remaining strength of the Taiping Army in Jiangxi was no longer significant.

The Hunan army swept past like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

One state capital after another was recovered.

However, it was no longer possible.

Because when he left Beijing, he made it clear that whoever captured Jiujiang and Nanchang would be the governor of Jiangxi.

That’s it!

The battle to regain Jiangxi is over.

Of course, this is a later story.

……………………………………………………

Inside Nanchang City.

Shen Baozhen and Su Yi had a secret conversation.

"There is one thing that your Excellency may need to know." Shen Baozhen said: "At that time, I led the Hunan Army to attack Jiujiang twice, but failed. In the end, Your Majesty captured Jiujiang City without any blood and let Lin Qirong go."

Su Ye nodded and said, "So, the Hunan Army impeached me?"

Shen Baozhen said, "Yes, the Hunan Army leaders, together with many people in the court, impeached you for taking advantage of the situation, similar to Boyan, stealing Jiujiang City, and colluding with Lin Qirong to frame friendly forces, that is, framing me."

This... is indeed true.

The Hunan Army will definitely not swallow this breath after suffering such a big loss.

Su Ye said, "Then did you impeach?"

Shen Baozhen said, "I didn't impeach, of course not because of my noble character, but because I had other ideas at the time. I wanted to wait until Nanchang was captured before submitting a memorial to impeach and give you a fatal blow."

This is indeed Shen Baozhen's style.

Shen Baozhen said: "Now it seems that I was very lucky that I didn't impeach him. Whether it was the Hunan Army or those people in the court, the charges of impeaching you would eventually fall on me, because I am the only victim."

"So, as long as I take action, everything will be wiped out."

"I know what to do to benefit you, please rest assured."

So, sometimes smart people are really admired.

Even if they are people with poor personal ethics.

……………………………………………………………………………………

At this time in the capital.

The emperor was a little overwhelmed.

Su Ye had already recaptured Jiujiang, and the court had received this matter.

But it was not Su Ye's victory report. Because at this time, Su Ye did not send a victory report to the court.

It was the impeachment memorial of Hu Linyi, Luo Bingzhang and others.

Impeach Su Ye for colluding with the rebel Lin Qirong and jointly murdering the Hunan Army led by Shen Baozhen.

Impeachment of Su Ye was not for taking Jiujiang at all, all the battles were fought by Shen Baozhen.

Impeachment of Su Ye for making a deal with Lin Qirong, exchanging food and silver for an empty city of Jiujiang.

The Hunan Army was bleeding and sacrificing, but Su Ye did not fire a shot, did not fight a battle, and relied on opportunism and trading with the rebels to capture Jiujiang City.

What is the difference between this and Boyan at that time?

Boyan, as the eldest son of the Khorchin Prince, was dismissed because of opportunism and false military exploits.

What about Su Ye?

Will there be no treatment?

How unfair?

If it is simply like this, it is nothing.

The most important thing is the report from the Hunan Army next.

Shen Baozhen successfully persuaded Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing to surrender, and Nanchang will change its flag soon, and Nanchang City will be taken without bloodshed.

In this way.

The merits of the Hunan Army will exceed Su Ye.

Nanchang is the provincial capital, and it is undoubtedly more important than Jiujiang.

That means.

Su Ye relied on dishonorable means to obtain an empty city of Jiujiang.

On the other hand, the Hunan Army actually surrendered the two rebellious national clans, subdued more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and also recovered the city of Nanchang.

In this way, the superiority is immediately determined.

Of course, this is nothing. The emperor and Su Ye had already discussed that this was a provocation.

His troops were not enough, and the main purpose was to stimulate the Hunan Army to recover Jiangxi.

But now, the Hunan Army giants impeached Su Ye for colluding with Lin Qirong to frame Shen Baozhen.

But Su Ye did not submit a memorial to defend himself.

So, the impeachment memorials came like snowflakes.

If the Hunan Army really made great contributions to recovering Jiangxi, then... then it would have to give an explanation to the Hunan Army.

The emperor has been waiting for Su Ye's defense memorial.

But he never waited.

At this time, a major accident happened in the Dongling Mausoleum. A collapse occurred during the construction of the imperial mausoleum, and hundreds of people died.

This matter involved Su Ye's brother Su Quan.

The reason was that the Ministry of Works was expanding the imperial mausoleum, and the money allocated had long been spent, with a lot of overspending.

So, according to convention, the Ministry of Works borrowed money directly from the Ministry of Revenue.

This is indeed a convention, and it doesn't even need to go through the Military Affairs Office, as long as it can settle the account in the future.

Moreover, Du Han of the Ministry of Works is a favorite of the emperor, and the Minister of Revenue Weng Xincun and others basically respond to any request.

Moreover, Du Han can settle the account every time, and it can also bring huge benefits to everyone.

Why not?

Therefore, it doesn't take a few days for this money to reach the Ministry of Works and be invested in the construction of the imperial mausoleum.

But... it was blocked by Su Quan, a doctor in the Ministry of Revenue.

He was very serious and said that this money could not be allocated without following the normal process.

He was a person who could not tolerate any sand in his eyes, and he directly exposed this matter, causing the money to be directly blocked.

His behavior was actually loyal to the king.

The group of people who built the imperial mausoleum could not get the money, and under the guidance of someone with ulterior motives, they were indignant and stopped the work halfway.

At the critical moment of building the top of the imperial mausoleum, a major collapse accident occurred directly.

The part of the imperial mausoleum that had been built collapsed halfway, and hundreds of people were buried inside.

This incident caused an uproar.

Su Quan impeached the Ministry of Works for overspending in building the imperial mausoleum, and also borrowed money from the Ministry of Households without authorization, cut corners, and corruption.

The Ministry of Works impeached Su Quan as the culprit of the collapse of the imperial mausoleum and asked the emperor to deal with it.

Many people in the Hunan Army and the court impeached Su Ye for colluding with the rebel leader Lin Qirong to murder the friendly army Shen Baozhen.

On the surface, these are two things.

But in fact, it is one thing.

Political struggles always go hand in hand.

Next, the political enemies in the court are waiting for a victory report.

The flag was changed in Nanchang, and Shen Baozhen officially recovered Nanchang.

And this victory news must be accompanied by a memorial impeaching Su Ye for colluding with Lin Qirong.

At that time, a general attack will be launched.

You can't be indifferent to such a serious crime of colluding with the rebels, Your Majesty?

Even if you favor Su Ye, you must punish him severely.

Can you let him go easily? How can you convince the public with this?

At this time, Senggelinqin, the Prince of Khorchin, was sick at home.

This is to speak up for his son.

And his son Boyan only took advantage of the opportunity to seize Xincheng and Liuhe, which was at most a false report of military merit, but he received such severe punishment.

On the other hand, Su Ye colluded with the rebels, murdered friendly troops, traded with the rebels, and seized the empty city of Jiujiang. Isn't the crime even greater?

Why is the emperor so partial to one and neglect the other?

Wouldn't it make the meritorious officials feel disappointed?

……………………………………………………………………

At the court meeting that day.

Once again tit-for-tat.

Because Shen Baozhen's victory report had not yet arrived, his political enemies only attacked Su Quan.

"Your Majesty, Su Quan privately withheld funds, causing the collapse of the imperial mausoleum and the death of hundreds of people. He is so pedantic and so careless about human lives. Please punish him severely."

"Please punish him severely!"

Chongen stepped out and said angrily: "It's ridiculous. Your Ministry of Works overdrew the project funds in advance. Is this reasonable? Su Quan blocked the funds to protect the national treasury. This is loyalty to the emperor and the country. What crime is there? But you embezzled public funds, but you are not guilty?"

The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Works sneered: "Lord Chongen, you are aloof and empty, and you know nothing. This time, the expansion of the imperial mausoleum was overspent because a large amount of water accumulated because the underground water layer was dug. So the Ministry of Works temporarily borrowed from the Ministry of Revenue. The payment will be deducted from the budget of the Ministry of Works next year. This has been a long-standing practice. Don't you know it? "

"Su Quan did not distinguish right from wrong and directly withheld the money. He ignored the orders of the officials of the Ministry of Revenue and said that there was corruption. This move directly led to the suspension of the siege of the imperial mausoleum, the suspension of the construction of the roof, and the large-scale collapse, with hundreds of casualties. "

"Such a serious crime, please punish severely!"

Chong En sneered: "Who knows if you cut corners in the project, there is corruption, it is difficult to conceal, so you simply take the opportunity to make trouble and put the crime on Su Quan's head."

This directly stimulated the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue, and several chief officials came out one after another.

"I ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly!"

"I ask the emperor to investigate thoroughly!"

"Your Majesty, I impeach Su Ye for colluding with rebellion and framing friendly forces!"

Many people present were stunned and looked at the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Didn't they say that they would attack Su Ye collectively after the victory report of Shen Baozhen's recovery of Nanchang came?

Why did it start in advance?

And in theory, the victory report from Shen Baozhen should have come long ago, and should have been sent to Beijing a few days ago.

Otherwise, since it has started.

Then concentrate firepower and impeach one more time.

"I impeach Su Ye for colluding with rebellion and framing friendly forces."

"I impeach Su Ye!"

"I impeach Su Quan."

The emperor gritted his teeth and had a headache. This was the nth time he had been in such a state.

In the past few days, every court meeting would turn into this situation.

Su Ye, why don't you submit a memorial? Why don't you defend yourself?

Defend yourself? What's the use?

Empty words, useless.

As long as you take Nanchang after taking Jiujiang, all the criticisms will be wiped out.

In this situation, whoever wins is right.

In the final analysis, this is a battle of merit between the Hunan Army and Su Ye.

Who has made the greatest contribution? Who is right?

Next, the entire court fell into a fierce confrontation again.

Chong'en and Tian Yugong were engaged in a verbal battle.

Woren also participated in it, criticizing the Ministry of Works and the Ministry of Revenue.

Tian Yugong, a Han minister, was still weak at this time.

Chong'en was fully fired up, and he would immediately spray anyone who impeached him.

This was the third day that this situation had occurred.

The emperor's patience was almost exhausted. Every time a key battle situation occurred, there would be factional attacks, and he was very annoyed.

"Six hundred miles of urgent!"

"Six hundred miles of urgent!"

At this time, there were bursts of shouting outside.

This time was in the middle of the court meeting, which was just right for delivering the victory report.

Therefore, there was a particular time for the victory report to enter the palace. It was not random, but the best time arranged by Su Ye and Shen Baozhen after discussion.

The entire court fell silent.

It's here, it's finally here!

I've been waiting for this for several days.

In the past few days, the court has been arguing every day, and every day has been anxious, but there is no result.

Just waiting for this.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, the messenger entered the hall, and everyone saw that there was a red cloth tied on his right arm.

The emperor also breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was a victory report.

Even if it was a victory report from the Hunan Army, it was still a victory report.

As long as Nanchang is captured, it will be fine.

"Nanchang victory, Nanchang victory!" The messenger kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty is very happy, Su Ye, the general of Ganzhen, has recovered Jiujiang and the provincial capital Nanchang!"

"The rebellion in Jiangxi has been basically quelled!"

"Congratulations to the emperor, congratulations to the emperor!"

Suddenly, everyone in the audience was shocked.

What?

Didn't Shen Baozhen's Hunan Army recover Nanchang?

They have recommended Wei Jun as the general and Yang Fuqing as the lieutenant general?

Didn't they change the flag in Nanchang?

How did it become Su Ye who recovered Nanchang?
