Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 255 A killing spree! Su Yi returns to the capital in triumph!

Seng Gelinqin and Su Yi looked at each other speechlessly.

Su Yi didn't know what to say, and Seng Gelinqin didn't know what to say.

After a long while, Su Yi said: "Take good care of the Monk King."

"Yes!" said the military doctor.

Su Yi walked out and returned to his residence.

Outside the courtyard, three people were kneeling.

Miao Peilin, Zhang Zongyu, Ma Ronghe.

This time, Su Yi led his army to the north. He did not surrender first and then attack because he had negotiated certain conditions.

His army just crushed them over.

This time he led nearly 60,000 troops, more than 7,000 cavalry and 50,000 infantry.

Among them, 3,000 cavalry were drawn from the elite Taiping Army, and among the 50,000 infantry, only 10,000 infantry were from the Taiping Army.

This is a try and an experiment.

There was almost no friction, and the two armies were organized together.

Moreover, the three generals Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, and Lin Qirong were directly allowed to command the troops.

Seeing Su Yi's army coming to kill him.

Ma Ronghe directly ordered all troops to leave the battlefield, throw away all weapons, and avoid any conflicts.

Zhang Zongyu and Miao Peilin, however, resisted.

After that, Su Yi showed no mercy and killed them all.

The battle lasted for two days.

The coalition forces of Zhang Zongyu and Miao Peilin were completely defeated.

Zhang Zongyu was captured, and Miao Peilin chose to surrender after the defeat.

However, at this time, the three of them were kneeling outside the courtyard. Only Zhang Zongyu was tied up by Wuhuada, and the other two were asking for forgiveness.

After Su Yi entered the study, Hong Renli stepped forward and gently pressed his temples.

Then, he gently buried his head in his snow-capped mountains.

Su Yi enjoyed the brief moment of tenderness and said, "Call Tiangui, Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, and Lin Qirong in."

"Yeah." Hong Renli leaned down and gave Su Yi a peck on the lips.

After a while, four people walked in.

"You three, please take a seat," Su Yi said.

Then, Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, and Lin Qirong each sat down.

Although Hong Tiangui was once a king, he was just a student now. He stood behind Su Yi and even poured tea for a few people.

"Call Zhang Zongyu in."

Then, Zhang Zongyu was brought in and knelt in front of him.

He and Chen Yucheng are still very familiar with each other, and they are considered the boss of his immediate boss.

And for a long time, Chen Yuxiang was his idol.

"King of England, have you surrendered the Tatars?" Zhang Zongyu said angrily.

Chen Yucheng said: "Yes, I surrender, we all surrender."

Su Yi said slowly: "Zhang Zongyu, you don't call yourself a rebel. Many of the reasons why you rebel and cause chaos are because you can't live any longer."

"Now I ask you, are you willing to surrender? If you surrender, you can be trained into the new Imperial Army and earn a living based on your ability. If you have outstanding abilities, you can enter the Imperial Military Academy."

"How high and far you can go in the future depends entirely on your own ability."

Chen Yucheng said: "Zhang Zongyu, if you don't kowtow quickly, please thank me quickly."

Chen Yucheng didn't know Su Yi before, but now he certainly knows how kind Su Yi was when he spoke to Zhang Zongyu in such a tone.

It’s really not about how great you Zhang Zongyu is, nor how talented you are, it’s purely out of sympathy for you.

Although you, Zhang Zongyu, are the young master of the Nian Army, you are different from Hong Tian Guifu.

Many Nian soldiers may not have any loyalty to you, Zhang Zongyu. Unlike the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this group of Nian soldiers are not united by faith. They just stick together for warmth and are purely gathering people to rebel.

Zhang Zongyu was of little use to Su Yi, and he was not a lover of talents, but just wanted to give him a chance.

Of course, Zhang Zongyu must be talented, even a genius cavalry leader.

He was also considered a scholar and was well-educated, but he was completely unable to get into the exams. He was full of rebellious thoughts and only wanted to take risks.

Historically, after he annihilated Seng Gelinqin, he led the Nian Army and brought huge trouble to the Qing court.

He even entered Zhili and threatened the capital.

After the Nian Army was defeated, he lived incognito for a long time.

Therefore, Su Yi felt a little headache about this person and had some urge to kill him directly.

Zhang Zongyu sneered and said: "King Ying, King Zhong, I really didn't expect that you two, the pillars of heaven, would actually surrender. Are you worthy of the king?"

Hong Tianguifu couldn't help but said: "Don't talk about them, even I, the king of heaven, surrendered."

Zhang Zongyu was stunned. He didn't expect that this young man was actually the son of King Hong Tian?

Su Yi frowned and said, "Are you willing to surrender?"

Zhang Zongyu straightened his neck and straightened his waist, looking at Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng and constantly sneering.

Then, with a twist of his neck, he said: "I am willing to surrender."

Everyone was speechless.

You are willing to surrender and you act so confidently.

"Okay, take it down." Su Yi waved her hand helplessly.

Chen Yucheng said: "Commander, Zhang Zongyu is more capable than Zhang Lexing. He is really a rare talent."

Of course Su Yi knew that this man not only annihilated the Monk King, but also repeatedly broke the Hunan army's blockade. In just a few years, he defeated the Qing army countless times.

Li Xiucheng said: "But it is also a hob meat. It needs to be experienced and polished, otherwise it will be wild and untamed."

Then, bring in the next person.

"The sinner Ma Ronghe, please see the commander-in-chief."

The person in front of him really disappointed Su Yi and Chen Yucheng.

At that time, he was under Chen Yucheng's command, and his command and combat instincts were very outstanding, otherwise he would not have stood out so quickly.

But this time, he was completely cowardly.

His attitude of surrendering to Su Ye was quite firm, but he was always vague and did not dare to move.

Especially at the critical moment, the officials of the Intelligence Department hoped that he could break the situation, but he was still cowardly.

Su Ye sighed and said, "You can't stay in the army. I will find another position to arrange you in the future."

Ma Ronghe kowtowed and said, "Thank you."

Su Ye waved his hand, and Ma Ronghe was taken out.

The last person to be brought in was Miao Peilin.

The historical evaluation of this person is Little Zhou Yu, of course this is the most positive and best evaluation.

More people think that this person is sinister and courageous, cunning and unprincipled. And he regards Cao Cao as an idol and wants to imitate him in everything, but in fact he is completely a fence-sitter and extremely fickle.

After entering, Miao Peilin kowtowed directly and said, "Your servant Miao Peilin, I pay my respects to Prime Minister Su."

"Prime Minister Su, I finally got you here."

"I look forward to Prime Minister Su as a baby looks forward to his parents, and a drought looks forward to the rain."

Su Ye looked at Miao Peilin for a long time without saying anything.

Miao Peilin said, "Prime Minister Su, I feel that I am not talented enough to command so many troops, so I am willing to give up my military power and enter the Imperial Army Academy to study. Even if I become a small battalion commander or regiment commander in the future, I am willing to do so as long as I can serve Prime Minister Su."

Su Ye said slowly, "Miao Peilin, Zhang Zongyu is also a tough guy, but he is young and energetic, and I still have some patience to polish him. But for you, I really have no patience."

Miao Peilin's face changed slightly, and he kowtowed desperately, saying, "Prime Minister Su, I am willing to hand over all my military power and all my property, and just be a rich man."

Before, Su Ye sent officials from the Secret Service to negotiate with him, and he despised this person very much.

This man is greedy, but he nods and agrees to whatever he talks about.

However, he never does what he promised and refuses to admit it.

He is always in two minds.

So when Su Ye led the army to kill, Miao Peilin thought there would be new negotiations.

Who knew that Su Ye ignored him and ordered to kill directly.

"No." Su Ye said, "You can spare your family's lives."

Miao Peilin raised his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Prime Minister Su, we have agreed that I surrender and you will give me the position of division commander."

Su Ye said slowly, "Then you have also negotiated with Shengbao, a second-rank civil official and a first-rank admiral. They are indeed much more generous than me."

"If you, Miao Peilin, don't admit it, then I can also not admit it."

Miao Peilin said, "Then, what about Ma Ronghe?"

Su Ye said, "He can't lead the army, but I will arrange an official position of the corresponding level for him."

Miao Peilin couldn't help but curse, but he stopped before he could say it.

It doesn't matter if you curse, you are satisfied, but your whole family may not have a way out.

Immediately, Miao Peilin kowtowed and said: "Thank you for the grace of Prime Minister Su."

Su Ye waved his hand and said: "Push him out and kill him!"

Several people stepped forward, took Miao Peilin out, and beheaded him in front of many people.

Cut it in two.

This once great hero was beheaded.

The three people related to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were all dealt with, and Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Lin Qirong and others retreated.

Then, Su Ye said: "Please ask Ma Xinyi, Senggelinqin, Shengbao, Yuan Jiasan and four adults to come over."

After a while, the four adults came in.

Four seats were placed here, and four people sat down.

The monk king was still ill and looked weak, with empty eyes.

Shengbao's face was ashen and angry. When he saw Ma Xinyi and Yuan Jiasan, he snorted coldly.

Yuan Jiasan has a position, which is barely justifiable. Why does Ma Xinyi also have a position? Who do you think you are? Are you worthy of being on the same level as me?

Hong Tianguifu felt embarrassed when he saw these Qing officials.

"Teacher, I'm leaving now."

Su Ye said, "I'll leave after serving tea to all the adults."

"Yes."

The young man served tea to the four Qing officials.

Shengbao said coldly, "Prime Minister Su, is this the leader of the rebellion?"

Su Ye said, "Yes."

Then, Shengbao didn't say anything.

Su Ye said, "Bring in Fu Qi and Du Xing'a."

A moment later, Fu Qi and Du Xing'a from the Fourth Division of the Imperial Army were brought in.

Su Ye said slowly: "How do you lead the troops?"

"After leaving Tianjin, did these more than 10,000 people have any training?"

"Everyone is fat and bloated."

"Everyone is only concerned with making a fortune, not handing over the spoils to the public, and embezzling them."

"It's only been half a year, and they have become worse than pigs and dogs. In two years, three years, will they degenerate to the same waste as the previous Eight Banners?"

Shengbao couldn't help but say on the side: "Su Xiang, you are also an Eight Banner."

Su Ye said coldly: "Shengbao, I am the Minister of the Army. In this army, I am the highest commander. This is the last time you contradict me. If there is a next time, I will kill you."

Shengbao's face twitched, and he straightened his neck and was about to fight back.

Senggelinqin next to him grabbed his hand and held him down.

Su Ye stood up and said slowly: "Du Xing'a, Fu Qi, take off your shirt."

Fu Qi was the division commander and Du Xing'a was the deputy division commander.

After hearing Su Ye's order, Fu Qi's face twitched slightly, and then he took off his shirt.

After Du Xing'a obeyed the order, he took off his shirt without saying a word.

Fu Qi, all fat.

Du Xing'a was still covered in flesh and bruises.

Obviously, for more than half a year, Du Xing'a still insisted on training hard every day, and fought many times, taking the lead, so he suffered so many injuries.

"You train every day, why don't you urge your subordinates to follow the training? Instead, you allow them to enjoy themselves, allow them to gamble, and allow them to eat, drink and have fun." Su Yi said sternly: "Speak!"

Du Xing'a kowtowed and said, "This subordinate is guilty."

Su Yihan said: "You are guilty. Your soldiers are enriching your own pockets, and you don't care. Your soldiers' training is neglected, and you don't care. What's the use of just practicing hard on your own?"

"Are you greedy for money?" Su Yi asked.

Du Xing A said: "No."

Su Yihan said in a loud voice: "Come here, take the deputy division commander Du Xing'a out and give him a hundred lashes!"

Following the order, Deputy Division Commander Du Xing'a was escorted out, shirtless.

And outside, there is a huge school field.

Su Yi organized and trained three divisions of the new army, less than half of which were bannermen, totaling 14,000 to 5,000.

Because the Manchus and Han were in opposition and disobedient to each other, they had to be separated. Su Yi took away the Han people, and Seng Gelinqin and Shengbao took away the bannermen.

Now, out of 14,000 to 50,000, there are only a little over 10,000 left, and the rest have been reduced.

At this time, these tens of thousands of people were standing neatly in the school grounds.

Deputy division commander Du Xing'a was whipped in front of tens of thousands of people.

In full view of everyone, the horse whip hit him hard on the body.

In just a few moments, the beating was bloody and bloody.

After resisting for fifty lashes, he couldn't bear it anymore and fainted.

His mouth was full of blood, but he bit his gums without saying a word because it was too painful.

Several military doctors came forward to check his vital signs.

Next, he found alcohol and poured it directly on his wound.

"Ouch..." Du Xing'a roared like a wild beast.

His whole body began to twitch and he suddenly woke up.

Then, continue the caning.

After a hundred lashes, there was not an inch of good flesh left on his body.

The whole person was lying on the ground, and blood was flowing all over the ground.

Several military doctors came forward, carried him away, and tried their best to treat him.

During the whole process, Seng Gelinqin and Shengbao watched the execution.

Senggelinqin was seriously ill and could hardly stand. Others came to help him, but he pushed him away.

After the execution, Su Yi asked: "King Monk, please tell me, do you still want the new army of 10,000 bannermen?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Yes."

Su Yi said: "Are you sure you want it?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Yes."

Su Yi said: "Okay, if you want, that's fine."

If he said no, then the new army of more than 10,000 bannermen would be abandoned, and Su Yi would be too lazy to pay attention to it, and would just disband it without any punishment.

However, you, Seng Gelinqin, said you wanted to, but you are not willing to give up these 10,000 people.

Then don't blame me for taking heavy measures to rectify it.

Su Yi looked at Fu Qi and said slowly: "Fu Qi, we have known each other for a long time, and we were even close friends for a while."

At that time, Fu Qi was the first-class bodyguard of Emperor Xianfeng. When Su Yi and the emperor were in their honeymoon period, Fu Qi also had a very close relationship with him and collaborated frequently.

Later, the relationship between Su Yi and the emperor deteriorated, and the relationship between Fu Qi and Su Yi also became cold.

The Eight Banners Beijing Camp was abolished and the Empire's new army was organized and trained. Since most of the fourth divisions were bannermen, a bannerman division commander was needed.

In terms of pure military literacy, Fu Qi is not qualified, but he has sufficient qualifications and status.

The empress dowagers of both palaces recognized him, so he became the teacher.

Su Yi asked him at that time if he was sure he wanted to be the teacher? Once you become a teacher, you have to shoulder a lot of responsibilities.

He said yes in person.

"I asked you that day, are you sure you want to be this division commander? Because this is not about getting promoted and getting rich, but also having to shoulder responsibilities." Su Yi said: "I asked you three times, and you said you want to do it three times."

"In the end, how did you become this teacher?"

"Not only did he not urge his subordinates to train, he also did not train himself."

"Not only did you ignore the items seized by your subordinates, but you also accepted bribes from your subordinates."

"How much windfall did you make from the two battles of recovering the lost land in Shandong and recovering the lost land in Henan?"

"Two hundred thousand taels? Three hundred thousand taels?"

Hearing Su Yi's scolding, Fu Qi's face became extremely ugly.

Because this is completely normal for the banner generals. Every time he leads his army into battle, it is an opportunity to make a fortune.

Don't you, Su Yi, just want to take the opportunity to depose me and seize my military power?

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit, I, Fu Qi, recognize it.

Su Yi said slowly: "Remove Fu Qi from the position of commander of the Fourth Division of the New Army of the Empire!"

"Officially behead Fu Qi in public!"

As soon as these words came out, Fu Qi's expression changed drastically, and he hissed: "Su Yi, you avenge your private vengeance in public, avenge your private vengeance in public."

Several soldiers stepped forward and escorted Fu Qi directly to the school grounds.

"King Monk, save me, Master Shengbao, save me."

"Su Yi, I am the division commander personally appointed by the Queen Mother of the Two Palaces. You have no right to kill me, you have no right to kill me..."

Zhaobu, the commander of the fifth division, stepped forward and said slowly: "Fu Qi, don't scream, I will personally send you on your way."

Fu Qi struggled desperately and shouted: "Su Yi, you are a traitor and a traitor, you are a traitor and a traitor."

"Whoa!" Zhaobu slashed with his sword.

Suddenly, Fu Qi's head rolled down.

Zhaobu looked at Fu Qi's severed head with contempt. Do you think the teacher is easy to do?

Do you know how difficult it is for me as a teacher?

I am the Marshal's direct confidant and the Dowager's brother, but so what?

Don’t I study hard every day? Aren’t you afraid to be greedy for just one tael of silver?

Of course, Zhaobu doesn't need to be corrupt at all. His wife works in the Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone and has an absolutely high salary.

Moreover, in order to support several large factories in Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone, Su Yi built many additional small factories.

The Zhaobu family spent all their money to invest in the shares. Although the shares were very small, the annual dividends were still very impressive.

In Zhaobu's view, people like Fu Qi were completely out of date, and he thought it was Su Yi seeking revenge.

Who do you think you are? For a person of Seng Gelinqin's level, the commander-in-chief would not even bother to avenge his personal vengeance.

What's more, a little guy like you Fu Qi?

After killing Fu Qi, all the tens of thousands of bannermen and new troops in the field turned pale.

Su Yi said slowly: "I asked the Monk King just now, do you still want your new army of tens of thousands of bannermen?"

"If you don't want to, if you give up completely, then I won't punish you in any way. I will directly kick you out of the ranks of the Empire's new army. I won't bother to dispose of the gold and silver you stole, and I won't stop you from making a fortune. "

"But the Monk King said that you, the new army of 10,000 bannermen, still want more."

"Since we still want it, we will follow military regulations."

"I'll give you two quarters of an hour to hand over all the gold and silver you looted."

"After the gong sounds, anyone who does not turn in will be beheaded!"

"start!"

Drums sound.

One after another, people handed over gold and silver, although they were extremely reluctant to part with them. But which one is more important now, life or money?

Two quarters of an hour later!

The gong sounds!

The top of the school grounds is filled with gold, silver and jewelry.

It's probably worth several million taels.

On average, each person robbed more than two hundred taels of silver. If it was jewelry and gold, that would be okay.

Unfortunately, most of it is silver. How much does it cost for so much silver?

And how can you fight when you have to be with him all the time?

Next, Su Yi sent people up to search everyone, not sparing any corner.

Sure enough, there are still people who are reluctant to hand over golden beans, expensive pearls, etc.

These hundreds of people were arrested directly.

"Behead!"

With an order.

"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."

The heads of hundreds of people were cut off directly.

Su Yi sneered: "It's true that people die for money and birds die for food."

"At this juncture, he is still stubborn and unwilling to hand over his property."

Everyone looked at Su Yi in fear, thinking that it should be almost done.

All the gold and silver have been turned over, and more than a hundred people have been killed, including Fu Qi, which should be enough to establish his authority.

Su Yi said slowly: "In the hearts of all of you, even in the hearts of the Monk King, I should not have come to save you. The troops in Tianjin and Beijing are so slow that they never arrive at the battlefield."

"On the contrary, my army, thousands of miles away, traveled a long distance and rushed to Kaifeng as quickly as possible, annihilating hundreds of thousands of rebels and saving you."

"I should have just sat back and watched you all be killed, so that I would have saved myself the trouble and saved you from going against me in the future."

"Since I saved you, many people also think that I should be kind and make you grateful to me, and I should be more tolerant."

"If you think so, then you are wrong, very wrong."

Su Yi asked: "King Monk, let me ask you again, are you sure you want to stay with this elite new army of bannermen?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "Confirm."

Su Yi said: "The military regulations they committed were too serious and their crimes were too great. So just killing Fu Qi and whipping Du Xing'a is not enough."

"The entire army, all members violated military discipline."

"Ordinarily they should all be killed."

"But that would also lose the meaning of punishment, so draw ten and kill one."

"Soldiers make mistakes, soldiers violate discipline, and that's the officer's fault."

"King Monk, please give me a list, a list of a thousand people."

"These thousand people must have these characteristics, make big mistakes, be officers, and be corrupt."

"After giving me the list of a thousand people, I will behead them all, and then this matter will be over."

As soon as these words came out, the whole crowd changed color.

Su Yi, you managed to save more than 10,000 of us, shouldn't you win people's hearts?

How can you win people's hearts if you go on such a killing spree?

After Seng Gelinqin heard this, his vision turned black and he almost fainted.

When the more than 10,000 people present heard this, their expressions changed with horror.

Actually want to kill a thousand people?

This...this...is too harsh.

Su Yi said coldly: "You can resist, you can rebel."

At this time, all the tens of thousands of people had been disarmed, and Su Yi's thousands of troops were equipped with repeating rifles and aimed at them.

Anyone who dares to resist will be killed without mercy.

At this time, Shengbao couldn't bear it anymore and shouted: "Su Yi, you are bullying others too much, you are bullying others too much."

Su Yi said slowly: "Shengbao, I just warned you."

Then, Su Yi waved his hand.

Several guards stepped forward and grabbed Shengbao.

Shengbao was shocked and said: "I am the Imperial Envoy and the Minister of War. Without the decree of the imperial court, you dare to take me?"

This is the military.

I just warned you Sheng Kezhai. I am the commander-in-chief of the army. This is the last time you contradicted me.

The next time, he will be beheaded in public.

Did you think it was a joke?

At that moment, several soldiers pinned Shengbao to the ground and took off his official uniform.

This time, it wasn't Zhaobu who was beheaded.

It was just an ordinary executioner who just raised his sword high and slashed it down.

"Su Yi, you are treason, treason..."

Before Shengbao could finish speaking, his big head was cut off and he was thrown far away.

Blood splattered.

Suddenly, everyone in the audience was stunned.

Especially these more than 10,000 elite bannermen.

This, this is Shengbao. He was the second-ranking figure in the Qing military for a long time.

Minister of the Ministry of War, do you want to kill when you say so?

But Seng Gelinqin only shook slightly.

This Sheng Ke Zhai is really asking for his own death.

It's okay to be arrogant and arrogant in normal times, but at this moment, you still have to shout.

Shengbao's killing directly made the more than 10,000 elite bannermen tremble, and they no longer dared to resist at all.

Can't Su Yi kill you?

No, on the contrary, it is because I do not give up on you and want to save you in the end.

Otherwise, a big shot like Shengbao will be killed at will, let alone you?

Su Yi turned to Seng Gelinqin and said, "Monk King, can you give me three days?"

Seng Gelinqin bowed and said, "Okay, Prime Minister Su."

……………………

"It's so enjoyable to watch." Chen Yucheng said: "This old bastard Shengbao fought so many battles with us, and he died like this today. It's fun, it's fun!"

While shouting that he was enjoying himself, Chen Yu was probably looking for a drink.

Li Xiucheng said from the side: "Yucheng, don't forget your current identity. You will also join the army in the future. Su Xiang values ​​you so much, do you also want to violate military discipline?"

Chen Yucheng was stunned and then smiled.

Yes, although he has not been incorporated into the new army yet, with Su Yi's high regard for him, his future will be very bright.

Although I am not currently recruiting officers, what's the point of drinking at this time?

"I was wrong, brother, please take care of me in the future." Chen Yucheng bowed and said.

Li Xiucheng said: "This is the first time you have been so polite to me in so many years."

…………………………

In Seng Gelinqin's room.

The staff next to him asked: "Monk King, what should we do next?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "I never expected him to do this."

The staff said: "Yes, according to our thinking, he can either sit back and watch us all be killed, which will save trouble completely. After rescuing more than 10,000 elite bannermen, he should use this golden opportunity to win over people's hearts and eliminate hostility. As a result, after he rescued more than 10,000 elites, he went on a killing spree."

Seng Gelinqin sighed: "This kind of thing proves his intentions. He really wants to save this army and save the only elite of the bannermen."

The staff next to him said: "This person's heart is really hard for a villain to fathom."

Seng Gelinqin said: "You have also seen that these more than 10,000 elite bannermen have been abandoned like this in less than half a year. If we really follow what Suzhongtang, Duanhua and others said, and the name of the Eight Banners is to be restored, it will also In less than two years, it will be completely returned to waste.”

"Su Yi is right. Since we want disarmament and military reform, we must do it thoroughly, we must do it thoroughly..."

"You can teach others, but you can't teach them well no matter how hard you teach them. Su Yi'er told me countless times, but we all felt that it was with ulterior motives."

"Everything teaches people. It's true that once you teach them, you will know it. Once you teach them, you will understand."

The staff member said: "What do you mean, Your Majesty?"

Seng Gelinqin said: "By cooperating with him, by cooperating with him, people will respect me, Seng Gelinqin, and respect my loyalty. I can't be ignorant, otherwise my body will be rotten."

…………………………………………

Next, Senggelinqin dragged his sick body and began to draw up a list.

He was extremely serious about this work.

They began to call people for questioning. Among the more than 10,000 bannermen in the new army, those officers were the most serious in violating discipline and those officers were the most corrupt.

Because the time is too short, there may be people who have committed more violations of disciplines and committed more corruption, but are not on the list.

But, most of it is still correct.

Three days later!

This list was handed over to Su Yi.

Su Yi said: "The monk king's spirit is actually better than a few days ago."

Seng Gelinqin said: "Thank you Su Guang for your concern. The magic medicine is very powerful."

Su Yi nodded and asked someone to copy the list ten times.

Finally, a big list was made and posted directly outside for publicity.

Many bannermen officers collapsed immediately when they saw themselves on the list.

There are people who curse loudly, and there are people who are in a state of despair.

Then, Su Yi ordered that all these thousand people be captured directly.

This time, tens of thousands of troops were ordered to watch the execution at the same time.

One thousand bannermen officers knelt on the ground with their hands tied behind their backs.

"kill!"

Following the order, hundreds of executioners raised their swords and dropped them.

Beheadings row after row.

Exactly a quarter of an hour later, a thousand people were beheaded.

The tens of thousands of people in the audience were trembling all over.

At this time, of the more than 10,000 new bannermen troops, only more than 9,000 were left.

Everyone was pale.

"From now on, all your previous sins will be washed away."

"From now on, you will return to the ranks of the new army of the empire."

"Where will the future go? Take care of yourself!"

Su Ye gave a speech to these more than 9,000 people.

"Do you remember your respective teams before the split?" Su Ye asked.

"Remember!"

Su Ye said angrily: "Didn't you eat?"

"Remember!" More than 9,000 people shouted in unison.

"The officers and soldiers of the Fourth Division, the Fifth Division, and the Sixth Division, return to the team collectively!"

With an order.

These more than 9,000 new bannermen returned to their original teams one by one.

This process took a long time.

Senggelinqin looked at this scene quietly, his eyes were a little red.

These three divisions were first forcibly merged by Su Ye.

He said everything about justice, reason, and emotion.

But it was still useless, and the Manchus and Han were still in opposition.

So, they had to split up, the bannermen returned to the bannermen, and the Han people returned to the Han people.

After half a year of tossing, 14,500 people died, and only 9,000 people were left.

Now, it has finally been reunited.

The bloody price.

Why, why.

But without this disaster, there will be no real integration.

From now on, who dares to talk about restoring the Eight Banners Army? Even Senggelinqin himself did not agree.

You want these 9,000 elite bannermen who survived to talk about restoring the Eight Banners?

…………………………………………

Inside Zhongcui Palace, Beijing.

Empress Dowager Cixi's eyes were red from crying.

You are all lying to me, treating me like a three-year-old child.

I ordered you, Ronglu, to rescue Senggelinqin's troops, and you set off in a swift and resolute manner, but you delayed for so long on the way.

There were flash floods, heavy rains, and bridges were destroyed.

In short, the Kaifeng battlefield could not be reached.

Jingshou's garrison division was even slower.

Yehenara, you promised me so readily at the beginning, and I said you were really good sisters.

In the end, you fooled me like this?

Later, urgent messages of six hundred miles followed one after another.

Su Ye led his troops northward, defeated hundreds of thousands of rebels, and saved Senggelinqin's army.

For a moment, it felt absurd.

Ronglu and Jingshou's armies were so close, but they were still unable to reach the Kaifeng battlefield.

Su Ye's army was in the south, so far away, but a full army of tens of thousands arrived.

Senggelinqin's army was saved.

These elite bannermen were completely a stumbling block for you, Su Ye. You should have watched them perish, right?

They died, you should be happy.

As a result, the person who should not have taken action took action.

Then, another report was submitted to the palace.

Fu Qi was killed.

Sheng Bao was killed.

One thousand officers of the elite bannermen's new army were beheaded.

Especially the killing of Sheng Bao caused an uproar.

This is the Minister of War and the Imperial Envoy, you can kill him just like that.

However, Senggelinqin also followed up with a report.

Fu Qi deserved to die.

Shengbao, disobeyed military orders, was arrogant and extravagant, and betrayed the emperor's grace.

These 1,000 bannermen officers were drawn up by Senggelinqin, and they deserved to be beheaded.

This was like a huge rock falling into a pond, causing shock in the court.

Senggelinqin, actually agreed with Su Ye?

Monk King, you are the Monk King.

The pillar of the Qing Dynasty, mighty and unyielding.

But no matter what, all this happened.

Then, Su Ye and Senggelinqin jointly reported that the banditry in Shandong and Henan had been completely eliminated, and the rebellion in the south had been completely quelled.

The two commanders requested to return to the army.

The two empress dowagers replied that Su Ye and the monk king had worked hard and made great contributions to the country of the Qing Dynasty.

The capital has prepared a grand triumphal ceremony to welcome the two commanders back to Beijing.

…………………………………………

Then!

Su Ye and Senggelinqin led the Second, Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Divisions of the Empire back to Tianjin.

Wang Tianyang led the First Division back to Jiujiang.

Ma Xinyi, Yuan Jiasan and Wang Youling led nearly 20,000 troops back to their base.

The entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom surrendered to Su Ye. This time, Su Ye led Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng and Lin Qirong to Beijing as representatives.

This attitude was, of course, arrogant.

It was to make the court accept it in its entirety, and let the three of them appear in the court as representatives to accept the canonization of the two Empress Dowagers.

Whether you are willing to accept it or not, these people will serve in the court.

A few days later!

The Fourth, Fifth and Sixth Divisions entered the Tianjin Military Station.

Continue the previous training.

Originally, they had only been trained for more than half a year, and there was also a split.

Especially the more than 9,000 new bannermen, which had been abandoned for so long.

This time, we must thoroughly train to achieve results, and after all of them meet the standards, we will formally form an army.

In Tianjin, Su Ye submitted a memorial requesting that the entire Second Division enter Beijing to guard the capital.

Senggelinqin co-signed on this memorial.

Originally, Su Ye's new army had about 4,000 people in the capital, and the remaining were 16,000 people from Zhang Guoliang and Feng Zicai.

And now the full Second Division has a total of 14,000 people.

If all of them enter Beijing, Su Ye's control over the capital will be even deeper.

However, the two Empress Dowagers soon responded.

Approved!

Please invite all officers and soldiers of the Second Division to participate in the triumphal ceremony.

……………………………………

Two days later, Su Ye led the Second Division of 14,000 people and left Tianjin in a mighty procession to the capital.

At this time!

The capital had prepared an unprecedented triumphal ceremony.

Outside the Yongding Gate, an unprecedented high platform had been built.

All the nobles in the capital were present.

All the civil and military officials led by the little emperor were present.

Su Ye had won many victories before, and Emperor Xianfeng once said in excitement that one day after you completely wiped out the rebellion, I will come to greet you in person and hold a triumphal ceremony for you in person.

Now Emperor Xianfeng is dead.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also destroyed, and Su Ye also enjoyed the treatment he deserved.

It was midsummer and the weather was very hot.

The sky was clear and cloudless.

In the pergola, the little emperor was sweating constantly, and the eunuch next to him was waving a fan to fan the little emperor.

The little emperor said, "Hasn't it come yet?"

The teacher next to him, Weiren, said, "Your Majesty!"

Suddenly, the little emperor shut up quickly.

Prince Hui Mianyu on the side said: "Your Majesty, don't worry, it's almost there, it's almost there."

The emperor and dozens of top nobles can still stay in the awning, while the civil and military officials can only stand under the scorching sun, sweating profusely, which is really unbearable.

Time passed by minute by minute, the sun rose high in the sky, and it would soon be the hottest time of the day.

Ten forty-five in the morning.

A team of fast horses galloped in and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, they are here, they are here."

"Marshal Su Ye has led the army to triumph, just ten miles away."

Suddenly, the eunuch Zenglu shouted loudly: "Play music!"

A band of hundreds of people played a magnificent piece of music.

The little emperor looked at the sun outside, gritted his teeth, and walked out.

He stood on the avenue with the civil and military officials to welcome the arrival of Su Ye's army.

Twelve o'clock noon.

Su Ye's army appeared in everyone's sight.

The little emperor walked with the civil and military officials and went forward to greet them.

"Welcome Prime Minister Su to return triumphantly!"
