Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 253 The Heavenly Kingdom is destroyed! The court is shaken! Unparalleled achievements

After hearing Hong Tianguifu's words, the entire Heavenly Kingdom court fell into silence.

After a long while, Lai Wenguang's roar was heard.

"How can this be? How can this be?"

"The old Heavenly King founded the Heavenly Kingdom to save the world. How can he be a slave to others? I don't agree, I don't agree!"

Lai Wenguang, this person can barely be regarded as a foreign relative.

Hong Xiuquan's wife Lai Lianying and he are relatives of the same clan. After the Tianjing Incident, the backbones were killed too harshly, and many relatives were promoted, but most of them were not worth using.

This Lai Wenguang is an exception.

However, Lai Wenguang's talent in the Heavenly Kingdom sequence is actually not top-notch.

However, this person's conceited temperament is quite top-notch.

This person first fought with Chen Yucheng, and later with Li Xiucheng's troops.

But in his eyes, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng are not worth mentioning.

A few years ago, Hong Xiuquan felt that his troops were insufficient, so he sent people to subdue the Nian Army.

Therefore, many of the Taiping Army in the middle and late stages came from the Nian Army, especially Chen Yucheng.

Lai Wenguang was sent to the northwest to open up new bases while subduing the Nian Army.

Therefore, he also became the nominal leader of the Nian Army in Henan, Shaanxi and other places.

But... only a nominal leader.

Many descriptions of this person in history come from the trial confession of the Qing court, and the confession was made by himself.

He was determined to die, and he couldn't help bragging.

He said that his Western Expedition Army had hundreds of thousands of people, and he said that he was the leader of the Nian Army in several provinces.

But in fact, there were conflicts between him and many Nian Army leaders, and he did not really subdue many Nian Army in the north and northwest.

Therefore, this time when Tianjing was in danger, he led his army south, but he failed to bring back hundreds of thousands of troops.

The new Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu said: "Zun Wang, are you going to disobey the order?"

Lai Wenguang pointed at him and trembled: "Heavenly King, you...are you worthy of the old Heavenly King like this?"

Lai Lianying said: "Before the old Heavenly King died, he had said many times that if the brothers had a way to survive, he would not stop them. And he once held my hand and said, don't let my son go on a dangerous road."

Hong Xiuquan had many concubines in his harem. Although Lai Lianying was the mother of the eldest son, she was not the queen, but the queen of the moon, ranking second in Hong Xiuquan's harem.

As for Hong Xiuquan's queen, she was not a real person, but a woman in heaven, called the wife of heaven.

In history, she was regarded as the leader of many women in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

But in this world, the spiritual leader of the women of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom became Hong Renli, and most of the sisters in the female camp were rescued from Tianjing in various ways and went to Jiujiang Industrial Experimental Zone, becoming an important productive force of Suye.

This Lai Lianying was also a supernatural person, and would also perform tricks of heaven descending to earth, and would often talk to God.

But she is an ignorant country girl after all.

After years of ideological transformation by Hong Renli, she now only wants to live a stable life, and she doesn't want her son to live a life of wandering and risking his life.

Hong Tianguifu said: "Father's ideal is to have fields to cultivate together, food to eat together, clothes to wear together, money to use together, everything to be equal, and everyone to be well fed and warm."

"But has my kingdom of heaven achieved these over the years?"

Of course not. Even after being ruled by the kingdom of heaven, the people are still as miserable, or even more miserable.

"We didn't do it, but Lord Su Ye did."

"How many brothers and sisters of our Heavenly Kingdom are in Jiujiang now? There are more than 100,000 of them. They all live a good life."

"Some join the army, some work, some farm, and some serve as officials."

"I have limited qualifications and insufficient ability to lead many brothers and sisters of Heavenly Kingdom to realize the ideals of the previous king."

"But Su Ye has this ability and this purpose."

"The throne of the world belongs to those who are capable and virtuous."

"So, I am willing to lead many brothers and sisters of Heavenly Kingdom to surrender to Lord Su Ye and give everyone a future."

He has been reciting this passage over and over for a long time, and he is always afraid that he will not be able to say it well today.

But he didn't expect that he could say it so fluently.

At his age, he is a mixture of sensible and immature. So from the bottom of his heart, he really longs for a carefree life and doesn't want to bear this heavy burden.

Lai Wenguang said: "But, Su Ye is a Tartar, a Qing demon! We have fought and killed the Qing demon for a lifetime, and finally we have to surrender to a Qing demon?"

When this was said, most people present refuted in their hearts.

Any time, actions are more convincing than words.

A few years ago, Su Ye established the Southern Seven Provinces Alliance to fight against the Qing court, and specifically opposed the emperor.

After entering the center, all he did was to overthrow the Eight Banners system and overthrow the Manchus' autocracy.

Look at his army, most of them are Han people. Not long ago, he just massacred the Eight Banners soldiers.

Hong Tianguifu said: "Of course, I won't force it."

"Those who are willing to surrender to Lord Su Ye with me, stand still."

"Those who are unwilling to surrender to Lord Su Ye with me, please raise your hands."

"If more than half of the people raise their hands, then I will leave Tianjing, and you will appoint someone else as the new Heavenly King and rebuild the Heavenly Kingdom."

This is very tricky.

Don't you have any idea about the future of the Heavenly Kingdom?

There is no hope.

Chen Yucheng, the real optimist of the Kingdom of Heaven, also completely gave up hope after the Battle of Hangzhou.

He saw a huge disparity, and that the entire system was lagging behind.

Who dares to raise their hand?

In the future, there will be no place for you in the new system.

Finally, a few hands were raised.

This should be the most die-hard member of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who has completely lost his ability to change his mind.

However, few of the real power holders raised their hands.

Not to mention people like Lin Shaozhang, Hong Renfa, and Hong Renda. In their hearts, they do not agree with surrender, because that will result in the loss of power and autonomy.

However, now even the king of heaven is about to surrender, and the kingdom of heaven is gone.

So what’s the point of persisting?

He can't hold the power alone, but at least he still has his own place in Su Yi's system, not to mention glory and wealth.

Lai Wenguang and Chen Decai, who had made the loudest noise before, did not raise their hands.

Because their top priority is to consider their own future.

In the end, less than one-tenth of the people raised their hands to oppose surrender.

Whether they wanted to admit it or not, Lai Wenguang, Chen Decai and others even breathed a sigh of relief.

It was as if a thousand pounds of weight had been lifted off.

Of course it’s good to be the boss and have the power.

But if you are saddled with a power that is already declining, that is another matter.

This will be a road with no hope, and the burden on our shoulders will become heavier and heavier.

Now, this burden can be handed over.

Leaving your destiny to others, especially to the strong, is sometimes a kind of happiness.

During the Western Expedition, Lai Wenguang and Chen Decai did well, but they always felt in their hearts that they were so tired and strenuous, and that my talents were not worthy of my responsibilities.

The new heavenly king Hong Tianguifu said: "In this case, this decree will be forgotten."

……………………

The next day!

All the city gates of Tianjing were opened.

All the hundreds of thousands of defenders inside laid down their weapons.

The new king of heaven, Hong Tian Guifu, led the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and slowly walked out of Hongwu Gate to Su Yi's camp.

It was originally proposed that the surrender ceremony should be held on Purple Mountain.

Su Yi understood the reason.

Purple Mountain is relatively high, so build a high platform inside.

Let the Little Heavenly King climb the top of the Purple Mountain step by step and surrender to Su Yi, which is more ceremonial and humble.

But forget it.

Su Yi built a temporary high platform directly in the military camp not far from Hongwu Gate.

After entering the military camp.

The Taiping kings were pleasantly surprised to find that the soldiers in this military camp were all familiar faces.

These two thousand people were all soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven.

Moreover, Su Yi did not stand on the high platform to accept surrender, but took the initiative to step down from the high platform.

The president adjusted to level 19, and Su Yi came down to level 9.

Hongtian Fugui held the jade seal high and slowly walked up the steps. At the tenth level, he would kneel down and offer the jade seal.

Su Yi supported him.

Then, he took the jade seal of heaven from him.

Then, Hong Renli stepped forward and said softly: "Tiangui, my aunt will take off your crown and dragon robe."

"Yes." Hong Tianguifu's eyes were full of trust.

Gently took off the little king's crown and took off his dragon robe.

Then, Shen Baoer personally brought over the robe, and Su Yi personally put it on for Hong Tianguifu.

Then, Su Yi asked: "Tiangui, are you willing to accept me as your teacher?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Xiucheng, Lai Lianying and others were overjoyed.

Becoming Su Yi's student means that Su Yi will protect this student and will not let people from the Qing court harm him.

Immediately, Hong Tianguifu bowed respectfully to Su Yi and performed the apprenticeship ceremony.

Perhaps because of Su Yi's warm gaze, Hong Tianguifu couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, I...do I want to braid my hair? I don't want to braid it."

Su Yi shook his head and said, "No need."

Then, he leaned into the other person's ear and whispered: "Teacher tells you a secret, you are not allowed to tell it."

Hong Tianguifu nodded vigorously and said that he would never tell anyone.

Su Yi said: "Within a few years, Teacher will ask everyone in the world to cut off their pigtails."

This short sentence filled young Hong Tianguifu's heart with a sense of identity.

Next.

Su Yi came to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom kings.

He came to Li Xiucheng first.

Li Xiucheng immediately knelt down on one knee and said, "Greetings to the commander-in-chief."

Su Yi helped him up, held his arm tightly, and said slowly: "Although we haven't talked in person, Brother Xiucheng and I have been exchanging letters for several years, and we are already close friends."

Then, he came to Chen Yucheng.

Chen Yucheng knelt down on one knee and said: "Chen Yucheng, the sinner, pays homage to the commander-in-chief."

Su Yi laughed loudly, helped Chen Yucheng up, and said: "Young energy is the most valuable thing. I am very happy that I can finally impress Yucheng with national justice. You young genius cannot stop moving forward. You must leave your name in history in the future." ”

Before, Chen Yucheng was jealous and hostile to Su Yi.

But these words really spoke to his heart.

A young genius who will leave his name in history.

What a compliment is this?

Then, Su Yi came to Lin Qirong and said, "Uncle, you can go see your grandson openly now."

Lin Qirong said: "Yes, after I have my grandson in my arms, I will fight for the general in the world."

Su Yi came to Zeng Tianyang.

Some time ago, the old general fell seriously ill, but after Tianjing faced a crisis, he recovered again.

At this time, he was already seventy-four years old.

Su Yi stepped forward and said: "Old General, I want to build a new navy, but I am in urgent need of talents. Old General Lian Po is old, can he still make a living?"

Zeng Tianyang smiled and said: "If I am useful to the commander, I can eat. If I am not useful, I can't eat."

Then, Su Yi came to Lin Shaozhang.

"Brother Lin, I have a lot of affairs here, especially the hundreds of thousands of Taiping Army brothers who need to be resettled. You will be burdened."

Lin Shaozhang knelt down and said: "I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief."

Then, Su Yi came to brothers Hong Renfa and Hong Renda.

Suddenly, the two of them were embarrassed.

Apart from making money, apart from corruption, we know nothing.

Next, let’s live a life of prosperity and wealth.

"Commander, we are willing to donate our family property." Hong Renfa knelt down and said.

Su Yi smiled and said: "You two brothers may not be good at domestic affairs, but you are quite proficient in business affairs. You will also have a place to use in the future."

Hong Renfa and Hong Renda kowtowed desperately and said: "I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief."

Then, Su Yi came to Lai Wenguang.

This person is the most determined opponent of surrender.

Of course, at the last minute, he didn't raise his hand.

When he saw Su Yi approaching, he also knelt down on one knee, but his expression was unnatural and his movements were quite stiff.

Su Yi stepped forward and said: "Brother Wenguang once managed the northwest for a short time, so he probably knows about the disaster in the northwest."

Lai Wenguang said: "The trouble in the northwest lies with the Ma family."

Su Yi said: "Yes, the northwest may become a serious threat to our country. Moving further to the northwest, someone will collude with the Russians and try to carve up our land. Brother Wenguang has managed the northwest, so he may have a heavy responsibility in the future."

Lai Wenguang said loudly: "I am willing to die for the commander-in-chief."

Next, there is Chen Decai.

Su Yi met and spoke to the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom one by one.

At this time, everyone saw Su Yi as the new master.

Really straight.

He made it clear whether he wanted to use you, how to use you, whether you should be used in a big way or in a small way.

Regardless of whether it is a big use or a small use, the most important thing is one thing.

The feeling of one’s own people.

It was not impossible for the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to surrender to the Qing court, and to be honest, the Qing court was quite tolerant.

For those who surrendered, it was reasonable.

But it’s hard to feel like one of our own.

But during today's meeting, everyone instinctively felt that Su Yi regarded them as one of his own.

Don't worry about being excluded or not having a place.

This conversation lasted for several hours.

Then, Wang Youling stepped forward and said, "Xiang Su, it's time for the army to enter the city."

Su Yi smiled and said: "Yes, I almost forgot about this. It's time for the army to enter the city."

Ordinarily, the most important thing is for the army to enter the city and take over Tianjing. But Su Yi talked with this group of people for several hours, and seemed to be in no rush to take over Tianjing City.

Then, an order was given.

"The army enters the city!"

Su Yi's 60,000 to 70,000 troops entered Tianjing City in a mighty manner.

At this time, all plaques in the city have been removed.

What about Tianwang Mansion, Yiwang Mansion, etc.?

The names of Tianjing City have all been wiped out.

Ordinarily, the name of Jiangning Mansion should be restored and a decree should be requested.

But Su Yi said directly: "Cut directly, Nanjing!"

"yes!"

Wang Youling, Ma Xinyi and others next to them felt a little helpless.

Our Lord is so straightforward.

If you just name Nanjing, what will the people in the court think? They will be scared to death.

Nanjing is the capital of the former Ming Dynasty, so they will wonder if you want to establish a new empire in the south?

And tell the truth.

The people in the Kingdom of Heaven who had just surrendered probably hoped deep down in their hearts that Su Yi could establish a new empire.

…………………………

Next, there is still a lot to do.

It can even be very troublesome, very cumbersome, and cost a lot of money.

Including the Taiping troops captured in Hangzhou, almost 200,000 Taiping troops needed to be resettled.

According to Su Yi's plan, there are only about 40,000 people here, who can become the empire's new army.

Can't even pick out 40,000, maybe 30,000.

The remaining hundreds of thousands of people must be demobilized and resettled.

For others, it may not be possible to place. But for Su Yi, the more the better.

Jiangnan Manufacturing Bureau, Fujian Shipyard, Jiangnan Shipyard, Dexing Copper Mine, and Kaiping Coal Mine all require massive manpower.

These hundreds of thousands of Taiping soldiers are all strong laborers, and they have certain obedience and organization.

There is nothing better than being placed as a worker.

Of course, there will be certain risks, fear of gathering crowds to cause trouble and rebellion.

However, if Su Yi couldn't accept this challenge, he would lose his place.

And although he is not a pure communist, his position is at least on the side of the broad masses of the people.

As long as this is ensured, there will be no trouble.

Looking at the word Nanjing, it was carved out bit by bit.

Su Yi took a long breath.

In the end, he couldn't help but rub the back of Hong Tianguifu's head next to him.

"Teacher, what's wrong?" The boy couldn't help but ask.

Su Yi said slowly: "An era is over."

Yes, an era is over.

In this world, April 19, 1863, was about a year earlier than history.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was officially destroyed.

Su Yi officially regained Nanjing.

This ending is much gentler than in history.

Not so tragic, not so bloody.

A considerable number of the talented elites of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have been retained, and they may continue to write glorious lives in the future.

Even though it has mixed praise and praise, it has brought huge disaster to the whole of China.

However, this cannot deny the justice and revolutionary nature of the Taiping Rebellion.

A cavalry general came quickly from the side. When he was still more than ten meters away from Su Yi, he got off his horse, cupped his hands and said, "Greetings, Commander-in-Chief."

This is Wang Zhengyi, commander of the first regiment of the First Cavalry Division.

Su Yi said to Hong Tianguifu: "This is your senior brother, Wang Zhengyi."

Hong Tianguifu bowed and said: "Greetings to senior brother."

Wang Zhengyi said: "Teacher, is this the Little Heavenly King?"

After saying that, he also realized that he had said the wrong thing, but Su Yi didn't care and said, "Yes."

Wang Zhengyi suddenly became serious, gritted his teeth, and gave the gold-inlaid sword to Hong Tianguifu and said: "Junior brother, this is a meeting gift given to you by senior brother."

Hong Tian Guifu didn't know the preciousness of this gift. When he saw the exquisite and gorgeous sword, he took it over happily and said, "Thank you, senior brother."

Wang Zhengyi's heart was bleeding.

This is when he led 600 cavalry in Hangzhou and almost wiped out 2,000 Taiping troops. After achieving unprecedented brilliant results, Su Yi personally rewarded Wang Zhengyi with his sword.

Wang Zhengyi regarded it as a treasure.

At this time, I saw that Hong Tianguifu was Su Yi's new student, and he was also the Little Heavenly King, who was extremely important to the Marshal's great cause.

Therefore, Wang Zhengyi gave him the most precious thing as a gift, which represented great expectations and friendship.

Su Yi said: "Return to the team."

Hong Tianguifu, who was next to him, couldn't put down the new gift and couldn't help but ask: "Teacher, how many students do you have?"

Su Yi said: "Three."

Wang Zhengyi, Hong Tianguifu, Yuan Shikai.

In fact, there is still half of it, and that is Emperor Tongzhi in the capital.

But Su Yi could feel that the relationship between him and Emperor Tongzhi was getting weaker and weaker.

That night.

Su Yi took Hong Tianguifu to entertain the high-level elites of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who had surrendered.

It was originally just an ordinary banquet, but it continued to escalate due to small talk.

Eventually, it turned into a speaking engagement.

Because Su Yi gave the book to many elites of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, many people have read it. Some problems have been solved, and some problems have not been solved.

It was possible to communicate by letter before, but it was still too slow after all.

Now, you can ask face to face.

Chen Yucheng couldn't help but said: "Commander, many brothers feel that you have colluded too hard with the British. The British account for half of many of our industries. Doesn't it drain the interests of our country? Some brothers feel that this is also Traitor."

After saying that, he immediately panicked.

Me, did I say the wrong thing?

But he couldn't help it. This matter had been buried in his heart for a long time.

Chen Yucheng, like Hong Xiuquan, was purely hostile to foreigners.

Suddenly the whole place fell into silence and panic, and Lin Shaozhang even instinctively wanted to stand up and change the topic.

Su Yi said slowly: "Yes, this will definitely cause the outflow of national interests."

“But if our country wants to rely entirely on its own strength to carry out innovation, we cannot say it is impossible, we can only say it is very, very difficult.”

"The conservative and decadent forces in our country are too strong, so we need to introduce strong external forces."

"Either someone smashes the country's gate and breaks in alive."

"Or, take the initiative to open the door yourself. Open the door little by little, and let the wind and light from outside come in little by little."

"It's like a lifeless pond with a bunch of fish in it. This fish pond is about to become stagnant, and all the fish in it are going to die. It's obvious that not far away is a big river or a vast ocean."

"The fish in this pond need to work hard, fight hard, swim upstream, enter the big rivers, and enter the vast oceans to survive."

"However, they are used to staying in this pond, and they are unwilling to take risks or risk their lives. Although they also know that this pond is about to become stagnant water, and it will not take long for them to all die, but at least not today, not tomorrow, but One day in the future, let’s just live with it.”

"So, I need to bring in a, no, a bunch of vicious catfish. They come in and turn this fish pond upside down. They even eat the fish in the pond."

"In this way, at least this pond is no longer a pool of stagnant water. In order to escape for their lives, the fish in the pond are at least forced to take risks, forced to swim upstream, towards the big rivers, and towards the vast ocean."

“Our country has been closed off for too long and is too outdated, so we need to introduce foreign capital and this group of catfish.”

"Our country should not be closed within the old rules and regulations. All of us in this country should go to the big rivers and the vast oceans."

“Not only that, we want to turn our country into a new ocean.”

"Our country needs to enter the world ocean and engage in political, economic, and military battles with great powers. Only in this way can we transform and stand firm among the world's advanced nations again."

………………………………

Turn back the time.

At this time, the drastic changes in the south had not yet occurred.

Seng Gelinqin in Henan looked up at the stars in the sky.

Although he is the Prince of Horqin, he has never forgotten his origin. He was just an ordinary shepherd boy.

A low-level herdsman leads a difficult life.

Many times, I would lie on the grassland and look up at the stars.

Surrounded by endless flocks of sheep.

As a young man, he had many fantasies.

What is the world outside Fantasy Grassland like?

I fantasize about what the capital city is like.

As for the palace, the emperor was too far away from a sheepherder like him to dare to think about it.

Later, the tenth generation king of Zasakdoro County had no children, so he selected a young boy from the clan to adopt him. He was a young boy with a very heroic spirit, so he was chosen.

From now on, he ascended to the sky in one step and became the new county king.

After that, several generations of Qing emperors were kind to him, and he gradually reached the top and became the pillar of the Qing court.

"As the Immortal God testifies, I, the monk Gelinqin, am not seeking glory and wealth."

Facing this unprecedented change in a thousand years, Seng Gelinqin also felt that he was lost.

He felt that the world was changing drastically.

Of course, he felt as if he had caught the tail end of dramatic change.

At least the more than 10,000 people he has in his hands are the new Imperial Army.

It had been almost four or five months since he came out to fight, and he clearly felt that more than 10,000 people were returning and degenerating.

Those previous problems gradually came back.

This made him very sad, but there was nothing he could do.

He even felt that he was one of the reasons why this army had returned to decay.

However, he can no longer change himself.

There are only two words that matter most in his heart: loyalty!

Three generations of emperors were so kind.

I am a monk, Gerinqin, why should I repay you?

It's just that the late emperor, Lord Daoguang, and Seng Gelinqin may really not be able to live up to your trust.

Did Miao Peilin really surrender?

Did Ma Ronghe really surrender?

Is there a trap in Kaifeng City?

Senggelinqin, Shengbao and others have discussed this point countless times.

They are not fools and cannot see the possible crises and hidden dangers.

But they will make choices because of their own hearts or the pressure of reality.

Duanhua, Sushun, Zaiyuan and others continued to issue orders, forcing him to march, regain Kaifeng as quickly as possible, and win the battle of the center.

Shengbao also kept urging because he had no choice.

Du Xing'a, Fu Qi and others expressed concern.

Therefore, Seng Gelinqin had to torture himself again and again.

Where should we go from here?

Do you want to lead the army to Kaifeng City? Do you want to lead the army to attack Kaifeng?

Historically, he was killed by the Nian Army as he was lured deep into the enemy's territory.

And this time, he also had no choice.

"Changshengtian, please tell the late emperor and Lord Daoguang."

"The only thing that guides me, Seng Gelinqin, is courage and loyalty."

"The God of Immortality will give people beauty, courage, loyalty, wisdom, and integrity."

"Perhaps all I, Seng Gelinqin, can possess are courage and loyalty."

At this time, the bodyguard came over and said: "King Monk, the army has been assembled."

Seng Gelinqin nodded and came to his horse.

Taking a deep breath, he turned directly onto his horse.

Behind, there were more than 20,000 troops.

"The army sets off!"

"Recover Kaifeng!"

Following an order, more than 20,000 troops marched towards Kaifeng in a mighty manner.

This is the most elite force under his command.

However, Shengbao led the remaining army much more slowly.

This is the case in Shandong. The real battles are fought by the core force, and the victory and security troops are only auxiliary.

On the Shandong battlefield, Seng Gelinqin led the core force and swept through thousands of armies with overwhelming force.

Now, again.

The imperial decree left him no choice.

We need to hurry up with the south.

During this period, countless messengers rushed towards Henan.

They are all Zeng Guofan's messengers.

There is only one content in it: Chen Yucheng pretended to surrender, so the monk king must be careful.

At least dozens of waves of messengers.

Su Yi's intelligence office set up checkpoints on various official roads and canals.

He killed Zeng Guofan's messengers one after another.

In this way, Seng Gelinqin rushed to the battlefield of Kaifeng with more than 20,000 elite troops.

At this time, outside the entire city of Kaifeng, there were already countless fortresses and countless ravines. Ma Ronghe's tribe and Miao Peilin's tribe have been here for a long time.

In Kaifeng City, Zhang Zongyu's tens of thousands of troops were waiting sternly.

According to the best situation Su Yi wanted, after Seng Gelinqin led his army to the battlefield in Kaifeng, the three groups of rebels, Ma Ronghe, Miao Peilin, and Zhang Zongyu, immediately surrounded Seng Gelinqin's tribe and attacked madly. Even this was a situation that had been discussed and planned before.

However, this scene did not happen.

Ma Ronghe, Seng Gelinqin, and Miao Peilin's troops, with more than 100,000 men, surrounded Kaifeng City with 50,000 defenders.

Seng Gelinqin has the highest command authority.

After resting under the city for two or three days.

Seng Gelinqin ordered to attack the city!

The Kaifeng War officially broke out.

The main attack force has always been the Senggelingqin tribe.

It still showed amazing fighting power, and in just two days, it had pushed up the city wall many times.

However, the real core force under his command is only more than 10,000 new troops.

Facing a garrison of 50,000 people, it was still impossible to capture it immediately, and most of the siege artillery was still in the rear, on its way to Kaifeng.

Ma Ronghe's troops have been fighting passively and watching from the sidelines.

The Miao Peilin army, seeing the powerful fighting power of the monk king's direct line, even became somewhat active and began to cooperate with Senggelinqin to attack the city.

Although he was still unwilling to fight and unwilling to lose manpower, at least Senggelinqin was not fighting alone.

Seeing that Kaifeng City became precarious.

………………………………

Su Ye's intelligence department had contacted Ma Ronghe's and Miao Peilin's troops earlier.

Ma Ronghe's Taiping Army showed a positive attitude and was willing to surrender to Su Ye.

Miao Peilin's army was in a dilemma.

On Su Ye's side, he agreed.

On Shengbao's side, he also agreed.

Even now, the officials of Su Ye's intelligence department are in the camp of Ma Ronghe and Miao Peilin.

Senggelinqin has led his army into the trap, you can do it.

However, Ma Ronghe did not dare to do it.

Because he was worried that Su Ye would become the loser of this central struggle, and surrendering to Shengbao would become a way out.

Of course, he wanted to surrender to Su Ye, but what if Su Ye lost?

Miao Peilin was a completely fickle person.

Although he had promised Su Ye's intelligence officer that he was willing to join forces with Zhang Zongyu and Ma Ronghe's troops to set up a trap to ambush Senggelinqin's troops.

But seeing that Zeng Guofan's battle in the south was going well and Senggelinqin's troops were strong, his balance moved to the other side.

He actually began to think about cooperating with Senggelinqin to attack the city.

Don't expect this group of people to have a firm stand.

If they were really firm, they should have followed Lai Wenguang and Chen Decai to the south to support Tianjing.

The third day after the war!

The envoy came.

Ma Ronghe's envoy came, and Miao Peilin's envoy also came.

Brought earth-shaking news.

Chen Yucheng pretended to surrender, Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army was defeated and retreated.

At this time, Ma Ronghe's heart to surrender to Su Ye was even more determined.

However, Miao Peilin did not take action, and Ma Ronghe did not dare to attack Senggelinqin.

A few days later.

Shocking news came that the new Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu surrendered to Su Ye and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom perished.

Then, all the atmosphere changed instantly.

Ma Ronghe and Miao Peilin held a secret meeting and sent people into the city to have a secret meeting with Zhang Zongyu. The three finally reached an agreement to besiege Senggelinqin, although this was something that had been discussed long ago.

That night.

Senggelinqin finally met Zeng Guofan's messenger.

It was a complete mess. I don't know what kind of difficulties and dangers he had experienced before he rushed to Senggelinqin's department.

And it brought an outdated news.

Chen Yucheng pretended to surrender, Zeng Guofan retreated, please be careful, the monk king.

Immediately afterwards, Miao Peilin sent someone to invite Senggelinqin to a banquet.

Senggelinqin refused, but sent someone to send a generous gift.

The next morning!

Senggelinqin's elite troops continued to pose for a fierce attack on the city.

The whole army assembled.

The Miao Peilin and Ma Ronghe troops on both sides still did not take action.

This is a completely ugly situation.

Senggelinqin is brave. Even if he is worried that this is a trap, he still bravely leads his troops to come.

On the contrary, Ma Ronghe and Miao Peilin's troops have repeatedly been indecisive.

Now, news from the south has come.

Su Ye is destined to win, but Ma Ronghe and Miao Peilin still haven't taken action, waiting for the other side to take action first.

After completing the assembly, Senggelinqin directly ordered: "The whole army retreats!"

Then, the 20,000 elite troops under his command retreated south at the fastest speed.

No, Senggelinqin is going to run.

Miao Peilin still did not move.

However, Ma Ronghe moved, and he was determined to surrender to Su Ye.

Then, Zhang Zongyu moved.

He simply hated Senggelinqin as much as the sea, and he couldn't let the other side escape.

Then, a chaotic battle broke out!

Ma Ronghe's troops, who had been keeping their troops in place, took the lead in starting the war and attacking Senggelinqin's army.

Then, Zhang Zongyu led more than 30,000 troops to kill frantically.

Finally, Miao Peilin hesitated and gritted his teeth again and again, and directly ordered the whole army to attack.

Despite a series of hesitations, struggles, and repetitions.

But with the outcome of the southern battlefield, the expected scene finally appeared on the northern battlefield.

Three rebel forces, a total of more than 100,000 people, began to besiege Senggelinqin's 20,000 people.

Senggelinqin personally led the elite to cover the rear, and ordered Du Xing'a and Fu Qi to lead the main force to retreat to Chenliu County.

In this way, they fought fiercely all the way and covered the rear all the way.

Fu Qi and Du Xing'a led more than 10,000 main forces and entered Chenliu County.

Half a day later, Senggelinqin, with the elite rear guard, was covered in blood and wounds, and also entered Chenliu County.

Then, Miao Peilin, Ma Ronghe, and Zhang Zongyu's army of more than 100,000 surrounded the small Chenliu County.

At this time, Shengbao led more than 30,000 people, hundreds of miles away from the battlefield.

Seeing this situation, his whole body collapsed.

The most terrifying situation finally appeared.

Then, he hurriedly defended the city and dared not move forward.

He sent people to report to the court: "Miao Peilin pretended to surrender, Ma Ronghe pretended to surrender, and the monk king's army was surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops and was in danger!"

Damn Miao Peilin, he must be cut into pieces, cut into pieces!

In history, Miao Peilin surrendered to Shengbao and handed over Chen Yucheng.

Less than a year later, after the leader of the Nian Army, Zhang Lexing, was killed, Miao Peilin was worried that he would be liquidated, so he immediately rebelled against the Qing Dynasty again, but was defeated and killed by Senggelinqin.

This world, although the way it is expressed is different.

But the nature is the same, rebelling and surrendering, surrendering and rebelling again.

…………………………………………

The Imperial Palace in the Capital!

During this period, the entire court was like a roller coaster.

For Sushun, Duanhua and others, they were celebrating first, because the situation was very good.

Zeng Guofan's attack on the pseudo-Tianjing was successful.

On the northern battlefield, persuading Miao Peilin and Ma Ronghe to surrender was successful.

Seeing that both the northern and southern battlefields were about to win a great victory, and seeing that Su Ye was about to step down, they even began to plan to drive the Empress Dowager Cixi out of power and let her go to Tantuo Temple to become a nun.

But soon, the first bad news came.

Zeng Guofan's memorial, Chen Yucheng pretended to surrender, and the rebels Lai Wenguang and Chen Decai entered the battlefield. The Hunan Army suffered heavy losses and might have to retreat.

At this time, the central government of the court was in a struggle. Chen Yucheng pretended to surrender, so was it possible for Miao Peilin and Ma Ronghe to pretend to surrender, and would Senggelinqin be in danger?

Should we send someone to stop Senggelinqin from retaking Kaifeng?

Then, the court sent messengers to Senggelinqin and Shengbao's army.

While telling him to be careful of Miao Peilin and Ma Ronghe's false surrender, he was urged to take Kaifeng immediately.

We must take Kaifeng completely before Su Ye takes the pseudo-Tianjing.

Su Ye only has 60,000 to 70,000 people, and the rebels have more than 100,000 troops. It shouldn't be so fast.

But it didn't take long.

The biggest victory.

But for many people, it was also the biggest bad news. It finally came.

Su Ye's 600-mile rush.

At that time, the two queen dowagers were behind the curtain and discussing a package of political affairs.

At this time, Yehenara's actions and behaviors were very careful, because she was more than five months pregnant and had already shown her pregnancy.

Fortunately, her clothes were very loose.

But it really couldn't last long.

Next, the belly will grow very fast. Damn Su Ye, you still don't win?

If you don't win again, it will be too late.

"Six hundred miles of urgent work, six hundred miles of urgent work!"

"Marshal Su Ye's victory report."

"The pseudo Heavenly King has officially surrendered, and Marshal Su Ye has recovered Jiangning."

"The pseudo Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has officially perished!"

All of a sudden, countless people in the court were struck by lightning.

This... this is too fast.

How many days has it been since Zeng Guofan withdrew his troops? He has already recovered the pseudo Tianjing?

Hundreds of thousands of rebel troops just surrendered like this?

This, this is an unprecedented achievement!
