Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 147 The emperor is very pleased! Su Ye returns triumphantly! Glory

At this time, let alone the ministers, even the emperor is confused.

He has even made mental preparations for Su Ye to seize Jiujiang and the Hunan Army to seize Nanchang.

In this way, Hu Linyi will be the governor of Jiangxi, Shen Baozhen will be the governor of Jiangxi, and Su Ye will be the prefect of Jiujiang and the Jiangxi Provincial Surveillance Commissioner.

This is also a good result for the emperor. At least the whole of Jiangxi has been recovered, and the rebellion of the rebellion has been directly suppressed in the two provinces of Jiangsu and Anhui.

But now many people have seized on the fact that Su Ye colluded with the rebellion and seized Jiujiang in disgrace and tried their best to impeach him.

This meaning is very clear. Jiujiang does not want to be given to Su Ye, and the Jiangxi Provincial Surveillance Commissioner does not want to give it.

According to the emperor's intention, of course he wants to give it to Su Ye. As his direct line, at least he can drive a nail into the heartland of the Hunan Army.

However, the crime of colluding with the rebellion and murdering friendly forces is indeed too big, and he, the emperor, cannot suppress it.

Even, this made him a little complaining.

However, now, it was Su Ye who brought the victory report?

What happened?

Then, the messenger presented Su Ye's memorial.

The emperor quickly took it and read it quickly.

He was immediately shocked and his face changed.

Shen Baozhen failed to persuade him to surrender, and Yang Fuqing suddenly turned against him and stabbed him in the back. Shen Baozhen led the Hunan Army to almost complete destruction, and only took a thousand remnants to flee north to Jiujiang City.

Yang Fuqing led more than 20,000 people to attack Jiujiang City.

The soldiers in Jiujiang City fought desperately, from Chaoyang to midnight, and finally defeated Yang Fuqing's army.

Yang Fuqing suffered more than 10,000 casualties and fled back to Nanchang City.

Seeing this, the emperor even paused for a moment.

Su Ye's memorial was not long, and it was not even intense.

But after the emperor read it, he imagined the scene in his mind, which was full of dangers.

Shen Baozhen's more than 10,000 Hunan troops were almost completely destroyed, how tragic.

More than 20,000 rebel troops attacked Jiujiang, while Su Ye had only about 4,000 defenders.

A six- to seven-fold difference in strength.

How dangerous was this battle?

Fortunately, they won in the end.

But you can imagine how difficult this battle was.

You should know that half of Su Ye's new army had only been trained for half a year.

As for the next step to recapture Nanchang? The emperor hasn't seen it yet, but it's hard to imagine.

Su Ye has only so few troops, and there are still 15,000 or 16,000 rebel defenders in Nanchang. How to recapture it?

Wait to continue watching.

The emperor couldn't help but applaud.

This strategy of alienation is used brilliantly.

Yang Fuqing and Wei Jun killed each other, which was brilliant.

In the end, Su Ye's 3,000 troops broke through Nanchang City in just one hour, which was even more exciting.

The emperor was so excited after watching it.

It's so refreshing!

Hahahaha!

The previous haze was swept away.

Didn't you say that Su Ye's capture of Jiujiang was not glorious? Isn't it a credit?

Then the battle to defend Jiujiang and wipe out more than 10,000 rebels, isn't this a credit?

Then he used a strategy of sowing discord to capture Nanchang City?

Isn't that a credit?

How clever?

Look at your Hunan Army?

They didn't even know that they were pretending to surrender, not only did they fail to change the flag and be humiliated, but more than 10,000 people were wiped out.

In the end, Jiujiang was taken by Su Ye, and Nanchang was also taken by Su Ye.

Is this a great credit?

Is it enough?

The emperor said, "Wenqing, Weng Xincun, you should all take a good look at this memorial."

"See how the people you recommended suffered heavy casualties in Nanchang? See how Su Ye turned the tide and saved the entire defeat by himself?"

"If it weren't for you, Su Ye, Shen Baozhen's Hunan Army would have been completely destroyed this time."

"Su Ye saved the Hunan Army, but what happened? The Hunan Army is still impeaching him, saying that he took Jiujiang by fraud, colluded with rebels, and murdered friendly forces."

"You keep saying that Su Ye's capture of Jiujiang was dishonorable and not a credit. Then, is it a credit to defend Jiujiang, save the Hunan Army, and recapture Nanchang?"

After Weng Xincun, Wenqing, Du Han and others took the memorial and read it.

Their faces suddenly changed.

What? How could it turn out like this?

Damn Shen Baozhen, how did you lose so miserably?

Not only did you fail to persuade him to surrender, and suffered heavy casualties, but you also let Su Ye save your life?

In this battle, your Hunan Army mobilized tens of thousands of troops, but in the end, all the credit was taken by Su Ye.

The key is that he also dragged us into the water.

Weng Xincun said: "Your Majesty, even if Su Ye captured Nanchang City, he still hasn't made it clear about colluding with the rebel Lin Qirong and murdering friendly troops, and he still hasn't cleared his suspicion. Merit is merit, and fault is fault!"

The emperor's face suddenly turned cold, and he said coldly: "My dear Weng, do you have to spoil the fun at this time?"

At this time, the eunuch Zenglu outside said: "Your Majesty, Shen Baozhen wants to see you."

The emperor and everyone were stunned.

Shen Baozhen is here?

He came with the victory report?

What does this mean?

Is he going to come to the court to complain in person?

The emperor said, "Call him in."

Shen Baozhen was exhausted and knelt down and said, "I, your humble servant, pay my respects to the emperor. Long live the emperor!"

The emperor said coldly, "You came back so quickly."

Wen Qing said, "Shen Baozhen, many people impeached Su Ye, saying that he colluded with the traitor Lin Qirong to murder your army? They even said that he spent money to buy the empty city of Jiujiang? What's going on?"

All of a sudden, everyone's ears perked up.

Shen Baozhen kowtowed vigorously and said: "Your Majesty, I am guilty! I am guilty!"

The emperor said: "Just speak, I will judge whether he is guilty or not."

Shen Baozhen said: "The so-called Su Ye colluded with the rebel Lin Qirong is completely false. In fact, I led the army to attack Jiujiang twice but failed. Su Ye disguised himself as a rebel reinforcement and attacked Jiujiang City at night, but was only half successful. He was discovered by the rebels halfway and turned from stealing the city to attacking by force. In the end, Lin Qirong was defeated and fled with the remnants and returned to Tianjing. A small part of the rebel army in the city was desperate and chose to surrender."

As soon as these words came out, the whole audience was in an uproar.

This... what's going on?

Shen Baozhen actually chose to speak for Su Ye at the critical moment?

This, how can this be done?

The emperor asked, "Why did you fail in changing the flag in Nanchang?"

Shen Baozhen said, "I was eager to make meritorious deeds. When I heard that Wei Changhui was dead, I immediately thought of recruiting Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing to surrender. Because I was eager to make meritorious deeds, I was deceived by Yang Fuqing's false surrender, which led to the loss of troops and even led the battle to Jiujiang."

Then, Shen Baozhen kowtowed again and said, "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. Please punish me."

The emperor said, "Weng Xincun, Wenqing, do you have anything else to say?"

Weng Xincun and Wenqing felt bitter and stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, I am terrified."

Originally, if you wanted to prove Su Ye's crime of collusion and rebellion, you had to build it on the basis of the Hunan Army's capture of Nanchang.

Now Nanchang was captured by Su Ye.

And now, Shen Baozhen came forward in person.

Directly clearing Su Ye of this suspicion, no matter what the truth is, this crime will never be mentioned again in the future.

Then, the emperor asked, "Where is the Dali Temple?"

Tian Yugong said, "I am here!"

The emperor said, "Investigate the case of the collapse of the imperial mausoleum to see if anyone cut corners or enriched themselves!"

Tian Yugong said loudly, "I obey your order!"

The emperor said, "Draft an order to reinstate Su Quan and give him a merit."

Many people present were bitter. It was really a winner-takes-all situation.

But Du Han was not in a hurry. He knew the emperor too well. Shen Baozhen's move could not eliminate the emperor's grudge at all.

The Hunan Army was originally impeaching Su Ye for colluding with the rebel Lin Qirong. Now the victim Shen Baozhen actually cleared Su Ye's suspicion?

In the eyes of the emperor, this is probably even more of a knot.

When did Shen Baozhen and Su Ye stand together?

………………………………………………

In Jiujiang City.

Wei Jun knelt there, motionless.

"Marshal, I am guilty!"

"I dare not have any more extravagant hopes for an official position. I only hope that the Marshal will pardon the lives of my hundreds of brothers."

Su Ye helped him up and said slowly: "Wei Jun, you are a talent."

"Since I promised to recommend your future, I will definitely do it."

"However, the position of Ganzhen Lieutenant General is definitely gone. There is only the position of Ganzhen Guerrilla General. The hundreds of brothers who followed you in the end will all be reorganized and still follow you."

Wei Jun burst into tears of joy and kowtowed: "Wei Jun will die for the Marshal from now on!"

……………………………………

Su Ye entered the inner courtyard.

Hong Renli lay quietly on the bed.

After the wildness of that day, she fell into silence for the past few days.

Su Ye understood her thoughts.

This woman has always been very extreme in doing things. Since she chose to stand on Su Ye's side, she decided to say goodbye to the past completely.

In other words, it is to kill her past relationship and her relationship with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Only in this way can there be no entanglement.

So, she did it thoroughly.

After success, the whole person was filled with guilt and pain, and endless torture.

Lin Qirong couldn't let go of the past.

Lin Shang'er and Zeng Wan'er, the two little girls, didn't care and didn't think so much.

Hong Renli also felt that he couldn't let go and couldn't be heartless, so he was ruthless and forced to cut.

So, there was such a heart-wrenching pain.

Su Ye stepped forward and gently lifted the hem of her skirt.

There was nothing inside.

Amazingly round, amazingly upturned.

But she was also injured.

After all, hers was much more delicate than Su Ye's brother.

When she was crazy at the time, she didn't feel any pain, but she was in agony afterwards.

It was badly damaged.

Su Ye picked up the prepared ointment and gently applied it to her.

Su Ye said: "You can't reach inside, you lie down."

Hong Renli did as he was told, and it was even more thrilling, the two halves were huge and the cracks were red.

Su Ye carefully separated them with force, and then applied the ointment little by little to the deep wound.

"Mother... Mother... Do you want to drink the lotus seed soup?" Lin Shang'er rushed in directly.

Then, she was stunned when she saw the scene in front of her.

After a long while, she covered her eyes and said, "Oh, I'm going blind, I'm going blind."

But she quietly opened a gap again.

Instead, she came over curiously to see clearly.

Then, she said something.

"Ah? Mother, there is still hair there, why don't I have it?" After a long while after she finished speaking, she realized that she had said the wrong thing, put down the bowl, and ran away.

Half a minute later, she ran back and closed the door again.

After applying the ointment, Su Ye gently took the silk blanket and covered her.

Looking at Hong Renli's extremely beautiful face, she has lost a lot of weight in just a few days.

Her chin is pointed.

It makes the eyes become bigger.

Her face is so pretty.

"I'm fine. I'll be fine in a few days." Hong Renli's voice was rare and gentle.

Su Yi didn't speak, just hugged her gently.

"What are you going to do in the future?" Su Yi asked softly.

Hong Renli said: "What do you want me to do?"

Su Yi said: "Marry me, have one or two children, and live a stable life."

Hong Renli thought for a while, shook his head and said: "I can't live that kind of life. I'm used to a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. When I recover for a while, I will continue to do the things I did before. I am still hiding in the dark." Don’t show up in front of anyone.”

"Even when you need it, I can assassinate anyone for you, anyone..."

Su Yi didn't speak anymore, but hugged her gently.

"Will you recruit a large number of people from the Kingdom of Heaven in the future?" Hong Renli asked.

Su Yi said: "Yes, I want both Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng."

Hong Renli said: "Then you need to marry a woman from heaven."

Su Yi said: "I'll marry you."

Hong Renli shook his head and said: "I can't do it. I don't want to marry. I have the appearance of beauty causing trouble."

Then, she said: "You can take Chang'er as your concubine. This little chubby girl has the appearance of a man and can give you a child. In this way, she will have a place in our old heavenly branch in the future."

Su Yi said: "She is too young, and she calls you mother."

Hong Renli said: "Seventeen years old is not young anymore. She was shouting randomly..."

Then, Hong Renli said: "And wouldn't it be better this way? Don't I know what you men are thinking?"

……………………………………………………

Inside Sanxi Hall.

The emperor said: "Shen Baozhen, tell me honestly, what is going on? Did you tell me whether Su Yi colluded with Lin Qirong to rebel?"

Shen Baozhen's heart skipped a beat and he said, "Your Majesty, I was not here that day, so I can only make a rough guess."

The emperor said: "You say."

Shen Baozhen said: "In order to capture Jiujiang City, I blew up the dam and flooded Jiujiang City, which also flooded Su Yi's new army."

As soon as these words came out, the emperor's eyes were furious. How could he use such ruthless methods?

Shen Baozhen continued: "When the flood receded many days later, we thought that all the rebel defenders in Jiujiang City had starved to death, so we went to attack. Unexpectedly, they still had food, and they pretended to starve to death, just to attract me Go and siege the city.

So I fell into the trap and attacked the city by force. Who knew that this group of rebels would turn out to be very active? "

"So, I suffered numerous casualties in this battle, but I still refused to give up, no matter what, I had to take down Jiujiang City for the emperor. But who knew that at the critical moment, I heard that the rebel reinforcements were coming, and they directly bombarded us."

The emperor immediately held his breath, listening to the thrilling words inside.

Shen Baozhen said: "The situation at that time was very dangerous. If we were attacked from inside and outside, the entire army led by me would be completely destroyed, so we had to retreat and escape quickly."

"Who would have thought that this counter-reinforcement force was actually Su Yi pretending to be a counter-reinforcement force. He then pretended to send a counter-reinforcement force and entered Jiujiang City. He was discovered on the way and a fierce battle broke out. Lin Qirong fell into the trap and lost, suffering numerous casualties. Jiujiang was captured by Su Yi City, he led the remaining troops to escape back to Tianjing."

"So I suspect that I blew up the dam that day and the flood flooded Jiujiang City. Fa Ni was originally going to completely run out of food, but it was Su Yi who secretly gave Lin Qirong food that stopped him from running out of food. He deliberately made Lin Qirong and I both lose. He got the advantage of being a fisherman."

"So, I'm afraid he colluded with Lin Qirong to murder our army!"

"Your Majesty, I am wronged!"

As soon as these words came out, the emperor suddenly felt enlightened.

Instead of blaming Su Yi, she was very happy.

Ha ha ha ha……

That’s it, that’s it.

So it turns out that this kind of collusion leads to rebellion? I thought there was something.

What kind of collusion and rebellion is this? This is obviously killing two birds with one stone.

It not only defeated Fa Ni but also attacked the Hunan Army.

If Shen Baozhen really succeeded that day, then Jiujiang City and Nanchang City were captured by the Hunan Army. Then how could he, the emperor, have any face?

In the future, in front of Zeng Guofan, wouldn't it be possible to feel cowardly again?

Su Ye is good at what he does, Su Ye is awesome.

Of course, this cannot be said explicitly.

There is no doubt that Shen Baozhen is extremely smart. He uses 99% of the truth to cover up the other 1% of the truth without any flaws.

Shen Baozhen knelt down again and said: "Your Majesty, I am incompetent. I was defeated in both battles. I lost my troops and generals. I have no shame in holding a high position. I am begging for my bones."

The emperor said: "Shen Baozhen, why do you have such thoughts?"

Shen Baozhen cried and said: "I have been humiliated many times by Su Yi and abandoned by the Hunan Army. I have no other way out."

Then, he unbuttoned his clothes, revealing the scars on his back and said, "After the Jiujiang Defense War, someone shot Chen in the back!"

"Your Majesty, someone doesn't want me to live!"

"Your Majesty, I am incompetent, and I am begging for my bones."

The emperor stepped forward and took up his arms and said: "Shen Baozhen, you are eager to achieve great results and have made many mistakes. But in the end, you share the worries of the country and the king."

"Besides, what's the Hunan Army and what's the New Army? Take these words back. They are all armies of the Qing Dynasty and ministers of the Qing Dynasty."

"You are my subject. No one can decide your fate except me."

……………………………………………………

Go to court the next day!

The emperor said: "The last time Su Yi regained Yangzhou, I really wanted to hold a triumphal ceremony for him. You said it was not possible. He only recovered a Yangzhou Prefecture. But this time he recovered Jiujiang and Nanchang, and even indirectly recovered the whole Jiangxi Province. That's enough credit." Is it big?”

"Is this triumphal ceremony enough?"

Du Han and others were slightly shocked, what...what happened again?

Although the emperor was very happy when he heard the good news yesterday, it was obvious that his heart still lingered.

There was no mention of the triumphal ceremony at all.

Today, attitudes have surprisingly changed again.

Speaking of organizing a triumphal ceremony, this is not just a reward, but more like making up for the guilt.

But his tone was so firm that there was absolutely no room for doubt.

"Prince Dun, Prince Chun, in a few days, you two will go to Deshengmen on my behalf to welcome Su Yi's triumphant return!"

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were in an uproar again.

These two are both brothers of the emperor. It is not enough to go to one prince, but two princes are also required?

This specification is too high.

This is too much favor for Su Yi.

The foreman of the military aircraft said: "Your Majesty, I have no objection to holding a triumphal ceremony, but sending two princes to welcome it is too much favor. In this way, in the future, when the rebel leader Hong Xiuquan is annihilated and Nanjing is recaptured, what will happen to the triumphal ceremony? ?”

The emperor said: "Whoever annihilates Hong Xiuquan, completely quells the rebellion, and regains Jiangning, I will personally go to Deshengmen to welcome his triumph."

"Whoever has this ability, I will thank him personally."

Then, the emperor said: "It's settled. Prince Dun and Prince Chun will lead five military ministers and one hundred officials of fourth rank or above to go to Deshengmen in person to greet Su Yi."

"Du Han, Weng Xiancun, and military aircraft foreman Wen Qing, you guys are going too!"

Several military ministers felt bitter in their hearts and bowed: "I obey the order!"

……………………

Ten days later!

Thousands of people were present at Deshengmen in the capital.

In a grand triumphal movement.

Prince Dun and Prince Chun led hundreds of officials to welcome Su Yi's triumphant return.

The ultimate glory!
