Chapter 521: Mantis, cicadas, orioles, (please order, please vote)
Linqingzhou, Wucheng County, Jiamaying, and Emperor Xianfeng of the Qing Dynasty was there.
When Zeng Guofan opened the main house of a landlord mansion, Xianfeng was curled up on the dragon chaise. The candles on the desk were almost burned out, and the wax tears condensed into a hideous blood mark on the "Imperial Vessel Map".
There was a hole in Beijing with a red pen, and you could see the tabletop at a glance.
"Emperor, the thirty-six-party begging troops have been camped. The front army camp is located in Sinusi Town, south of Dezhou City, and the rear army has only left Linqingzhou City." As the chief manager of the thirty-six-party marching army,
Zeng Guofan bowed to hand over the report to the pond, but Xianfeng grabbed his wrist. The emperor's eyes were covered with bloodshot, and he gasped like a broken bellows in his throat: "Zeng Guofan, you say. My millions of troops are better than Emperor Chongzhen back then
How about the Beijing Camp?"
I don’t know when it started, Xianfeng no longer said that Zeng Guofan’s name was Zeng Jia. Guofan, and Zeng Guofan no longer pretended to be a bannerman, but raised the banner of Zengzi’s descendants.
Hearing Xianfeng's question, Zeng Guofan just lowered his eyes and said nothing. Outside the yard, there were wails one after another - it was the refugee soldiers of the beggars who were infected with plague who were buried alive! There was a great epidemic after the flood, and the Yellow River flood had not yet receded.
The plague was spread among the thirty-six-way beggar soldiers struggling in the Yellow River Flood, and even Xianfeng was beaten. In order to avoid the spread of the plague, Zeng Guofan issued a death order, and all the soldiers of the beggar soldiers who were infected with the disease,
All of them were tied up and buried alive! Of course, except for Hunanese and Beijingers!
"Emperor!" Zeng Guofan suddenly knelt down and his forehead hit the blue bricks. "Shanxi Tangbao, Hongyang Erni had broken into Lu'an Prefecture, Dengzhou Tangbao Zuo Zongtang's military ship had entered Lushunkou. This battle again
If you continue to fight, it's just a snipe and a clam fight."
"Fuck!" Xianfeng picked up the inkstone and smashed it over, and the ink splashed Zeng Guofan's face, "I am the real emperor! It is the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty. When I enter Beijing, I will buy more foreign guns and cannons from foreigners. What's the left?
Zong Tang, Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xiuquan, Luo Yaoguo, are not my opponent! Zeng Guofan, do you also want to learn from Zuo Zongtang's traitor?!"
The sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded outside the yard, and then I saw Zeng Jia. Linshu hurried in with an envelope. When he saw Zeng Guofan kneeling, he was stunned. Then he handed the envelope into Xianfeng's hand: "Long live the Lord."
, This was sent from Beijing by Sushun's Goshha!”
Xianfeng stretched out his withered fingers and trembledly took the envelope handed to him by Zeng Jia. Linshu, then suddenly tore open the seal, took out the letter paper inside, looked at it ten lines at a glance, and then looked carefully.
After a while, I laughed out loud: "Okay, okay, I Concubine Yi, I was Li Hongzhang and Zeng Guofan, get up! I know you are a loyal minister, and I trust you!"
Zeng Guofan was not polite to Xianfeng, so he immediately stood up, narrowed his triangle eyes, and looked at the letter raft in Xianfeng's hand. However, the prophecy of "Xianfeng killed Tongde, and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed" appeared in his mind.
Xianfeng stuffed the letter raft in his hand to Zeng Guofan: "Zeng Guofan, please see it yourself. Your good student misunderstood that I was captured by Hong Yang Er Ni and then surrendered to Gong Lao Liu. Now he knows that I and
He was not captured, and he was determined to do so. As long as I could return to Beijing under the escort of a team of elite soldiers, he would immediately surrender to me, lead his troops to surround the Old Summer Palace, and take Gong Lao Liu for me!"
Zeng Guofan took the letter raft and looked down, but his brows became tighter and tighter. The letter was written by Su Shun, with sloppy handwriting, obviously written in hasty. The letter described in detail the "Environment Killing" formulated by him, Concubine Yi and Li Hongzhang together.
The king's strategy. However, what Zeng Guofan thought of was the prophecy - Xianfeng killed Tongde, and the Qing Dynasty was destroyed!
Intuition told him that the "Killing the King of the Garden" is not as simple as it seems on the surface!
"Emperor," Zeng Guofan thought again and again, "If Li Hongzhang really turned against him, he could turn against him in Texas. He is now in charge of the military commander in Texas with Senggelinqin."
Xianfeng's ten dry fingers suddenly grabbed the armrest of the dragon chair, and the smile on his numb face suddenly disappeared: "If I remember correctly, Li Hongzhang's direct Beiyang Army has only one town, it is Mr. Gong
Six helped him expand his army to six towns in a very short time! So the Beiyang Army he brought to Dezhou was mostly controlled by Gong Laoliu's confidant. In addition, the Senggelin Qinheng, Li Hongzhang wanted to be in Dezhou anyway.
I'm afraid it's not easy. But as long as I return to Beijing, no, as long as I get close to Beijing, the people in Beijing will definitely turn to me! How could Li Hongzhang miss this opportunity to establish a great achievement?"
Xianfeng said this, staring at the hole that was pierced on the map, suddenly grabbed the red pen on the desk, and drew a red line to bypass Dezhou on the map: "I will go here to Beijing! Zeng Guofan, three
The brigade of the Sixteen-party Qualifying Army will be given to you to command. I will attack Dezhou and Jizhou for me and restrain Senggelinqin, a rebel!”
"I received the order." Zeng Guofan had no choice but to bow, and the ominous thought that could not be lost in his mind.
"Lin Shu!"
"I am here!" Zeng Jia and Linshu bowed.
"I ordered you to bring the elite infantry cavalry of the guards to protect me and fight back to Beijing!" Xianfeng said this, and suddenly felt sad in his heart, and he blurted out: "Even if I die, I will die in Beijing!"
Texas, Canal Pier, July 7th.
The bonfire burned the night sky red. Li Hongzhang stood on the watchtower and looked at a brightly lit camp on the west bank of the canal like a sea of ​​stars. It was the camp of the 36-way beggar army led by Zeng Guofan!
The army, known as one million, can indeed give people a sense of oppression that is breathless.
Ma Xinyi hurriedly came with his footsteps, approached Li Hongzhang's ears, and lowered his voice: "Master, Madam Ma just sent a secret report. The 200 Eight Banners soldiers from Guangzhou who came ashore in Tianjin all entered Guangqu Gate!
”
Li Hongzhang didn't answer this, his eyes were still staring at the opposite shore. In the fire, the black crowd could be seen vaguely squirming along the river bank, like a group of ants that were alarmed - that was part of the 36-way beggar army, all
The old and weak woman wrapped in broken cotton wool carried a stone in her arms, and the white-haired old man carried half a bag of soil and threw stones into the canal, throwing stones inside.
The soil seems to fill the water artery that communicates between the north and the south!
"Shoot the arrow!" Senggelinqin's roar sounded like thunder. The moment the arrow rain poured out, Li Hongzhang closed his eyes. He heard the muffled sound of flesh tearing, the heart-wrenching cry of the baby, and someone in Henan accent , Shandong roared: "Mr. Xianfeng has brought his troops to Beijing to kill King Gong! You dog officials are about to rebel, we should eat your imperial grain-"
"Report——!" The probing horse rolled and climbed up the tower, "The dragon flag of the pseudo-Emperor Xianfeng has passed Hengshui this afternoon! There are still thousands of squads accompanying him, fighting... and fighting 'Xianfeng arrives, killing Yixin' Yes!"
Before the horse could finish speaking, he screamed. The shaking tip of the knife suddenly emerged from his chest. Senggelinqin, who was full of murderous aura, appeared behind him at some point.
Li Hongzhang narrowed his eyes suddenly, his five fingers in his sleeves clattered, and the north wind poured into his throat with the smell of blood. He suppressed the discomfort and said to Senggelinqin: "King Monk, I will take a town of Beiyang Army to chase, Let's go tonight!"
Senggelinqin is focused: "Okay! Dezhou is handed over to me, Zeng Guofan's thirty-six-sided mob can not go north at one step. But you must be careful that Hong Yang Er Ni has arrived in Shanxi, and Zuo Zongtang is also in trouble. Being in Liaodong, you must be careful that the mantis stalks the cicada, and the oriole is behind!"
"I understand, Hongzhang is also familiar with military books!" When Li Hongzhang said this, he suddenly remembered the whisper of Mathilde in bed: "You Chinese always say that the mantis stalks the cicada, have you ever thought of the oriole's gun? Have you been aiming at the cicada?”
He sighed softly in his heart: The current situation, who is the cicada, who is the mantis, who is the gun, who is the oriole who is the oriole who is the one who is holding the gun? It's so complicated. I just want to not let the beauty down. !
Tianjing, Maguan Port.
The moment the whistle sound of the Geely steamship sounded, Maria suddenly grabbed Luo Yaoguo's wrist and pressed his right palm on his raised belly, her blue eyes full of reluctance.
No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!
Su Sanniang, who was standing beside Luo Yaoguo, smile and said, "My sister Maria, please give birth to a child in Tianjing with peace of mind. Xiuying will take care of you. Your Highness will be foolproof if you have me!"
"Your Highness, Mathilde has dreamed of becoming a queen or queen since he was a child." She suddenly remembered her old acquaintance in Europe, "Li Hongzhang has taken all the benefits from her, and will probably find a way to satisfy her, so you must beware of Li Hongzhang's attention. Collude with the French!”
Luo Yaoguo's finger rubbed the dragon pattern unique to his enamel tobacco box, and the brass buckle popped open. There was a small book of "The Prophet". He closed the enamel tobacco box and put it on. He gave it to Mary: "Maria, this is the Book of Prophecy that I have prepared for you. There is also a list of dark halls in the book, with this Book of Prophets in hand, the King of the South and King of the West Don't dare to act rashly."
Maria focused her head and held the enamel tobacco box tightly in her hand! Her blue eyes were just staring at Luo Yaoguo.
Luo Yaoguo solemnly said to Zhou Xiuying: "Xiuying, after Sanniang and I went north, you will be in command of the personal soldiers of the King of Wu's Mansion and the Tianjing Girls' Camp. We must protect Maria!"
After saying that, he and Su Sanniang boarded the steamship heading north. On this night, there were eight thousand Taiping Army set out with him!
That night, Yang Xiuqing wore a dragon robe embroidered with forty balls of dragons in his Lu'an Prefecture's Eastern King's Palace, which was only worn by the Heavenly King, and made Daozi kneel at his feet and shout: "Long live the Heavenly King!
”
Listening to Daozi's feminine voice, Yang Xiuqing turned his head and looked in the direction of the northeast, muttering to himself: "Xianfeng killed Tongde, the Qing Dynasty destroyed Beijing, I am here!"
