Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 281 Shunchang rebels and dies! God helps me!

This time when Su Ye left Beijing, Empress Dowager Cixi was actually still very worried, because every time he left Beijing before, these Eight Banners princes and ministers would come out to make trouble.

Before, there was Yehenara to support him, but now she is alone.

This made her feel like she was facing a great enemy during this period.

As a result, they only started a little bit, and with Baojun being dismissed from the post of Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, they died down directly.

The little empress dowager still thought, do you have any big conspiracy? What big move are you planning?

Then, the news of the great victory in the south came.

She was completely relieved and immediately had people spread it throughout the capital.

And she ordered people to set off a wave of fireworks to celebrate the victory in the south.

Then, she couldn't wait to summon Su Ye's concubine Zhenzhen.

However, the two were really close and awkward.

"My, my relationship with him, do you, do you know?" Empress Dowager Cixi couldn't help asking.

Zhenzhen was shocked. Are you so simple, Queen Mother?

How did you manage to survive until now? The political struggle in the palace is so fierce.

However, Zhenzhen is more simple.

"I know, I know."

Then, the two of them were speechless.

"You taught the emperor mathematics. How is his comprehension?" Ci'an asked.

Zhenzhen thought for a while and said, "It's average, but he has a good enthusiasm for learning and is quite interested."

Ci'an said, "That's good, that's good."

Then, Ci'an said, "The South has won a great victory, so I want to test the minds of the princes and ministers in the capital. So three days later, I want to hold a dinner party and invite the wives of officials above the second rank in the capital to attend. What do you think?"

Zhenzhen was shocked again?

Queen, this... you ask me about this?

Then, Zhenzhen nodded and said, "I think it's okay."

One just asked, and the other dared to answer.

Ci'an said, "As Su Ye's concubine, how about you help me host the dinner that day?"

Zhenzhen nodded again and said, "Okay."

If it were any other concubine, no one would dare to accept it.

There are a lot of people in the capital who are older than you, including princes' wives, but you are a concubine, and you dare to accept it?

But Zhenzhen felt that if the Queen Mother asked me to help, I would definitely go.

As for what Prince Gong's wife and Prince Hui's wife think, I can't control it.

Seeing Zhenzhen's temperament, Ci'an couldn't help but feel close to her, holding her hand and saying, "Su Ye is so lucky, and the wives he married are better than the other."

……………………

Prince Hui finally chose poisoned wine.

After pouring a cup of poisoned wine, he wanted to pick it up several times, but he couldn't muster up the courage to put it into his mouth.

It is the most difficult death in the history.

At this time, someone rushed in from outside.

It was Chongen.

He stepped forward, took the cup of poisoned wine, and threw it to the ground fiercely.

"Prince Hui, if you want to die, you should die by legal execution."

"If you want to drink poison, you should wait for the two Empress Dowagers to give you poison before drinking it. What's the point of you committing suicide here?"

"Your death is not a pity, but don't ruin the two Empress Dowagers and the reputation of the court."

Prince Hui Mianyu trembled and said, "I want to die, can you stop me?"

Chongen said coldly, "If you die by drinking poison, don't blame Prince Yi for being ruthless. Your whole line is over, and your title as Prince Hui is gone. The future of your sons is gone."

"You made a big mistake. You also attended Zeng Guofan's so-called investment conference and encouraged Xiang "If you commit treason, the court will definitely punish you."

"Just wait to be reported and wait for the court's punishment."

"Even if you have to die, you will be beheaded. Look at Duanhua and Sushun, they were beheaded, and their children were not implicated. If you commit suicide like this and put the blame on Prince Yi and the two Queen Mothers, don't blame them for putting more charges on you, making it impossible for you to turn over for generations."

Prince Hui Mianyu pointed at Chong'en and roared: "You, are you going too far, and you don't even let people die?"

Chong'en said: "Anyway, I've said it. If you still want to die, then go ahead."

After that, Chong'en turned around and left.

…………………………

Three days later.

Empress Dowager Ci'an held a banquet in the palace.

Officials of the second rank and above in Beijing, as well as the wives of princes and ministers were invited.

Originally, I thought that many people would not be present. After all, many bannermen ministers had not attended court for more than half a year. They had been claiming to be sick at home, expressing their opposition to Su Ye's banner reform.

And this time, the Queen Mother's banquet.

Basically all the female family members were present.

Including the wife of the American ambassador, the wife of the British ambassador, and the wife of the British counselor.

"Turn on!" With an order.

Zenglu pushed the main switch, and the whole hall was brightly lit.

All the female family members were stunned. It was so bright?

This... is this an electric light?

I only heard that Jiujiang was full of this thing, and Shanghai also had it. I didn't expect that it was installed in the palace now.

It was really never so bright in the middle of the night.

The next banquet was also different from the previous one. Many dishes that had not been there before were served.

Even, it was not entirely Chinese dishes, but also Western desserts.

Then, everyone found that the one who helped the Queen Mother to host the banquet was Su Ye's concubine.

This... is this inappropriate?

Prince Hui’s Fujin and Prince Gong’s Fujin are probably more suitable for this role.

But Zhenzhen didn't think anything of it, so he presided over it meticulously and relatively calmly.

Seng Gelinqin's Fujin helped with a smile.

Below, Prince Hui's Fujin laughed with him from beginning to end, and no dissatisfaction could be seen.

Does she dare to be dissatisfied?

At this time, Prince Hui Fujin was in extreme panic.

His husband, Mian Yu, might have committed suicide as soon as he gritted his teeth and stamped his feet.

But she still needs to live, and her children still need to live.

What should we do with this big family?

Therefore, she couldn't care less about putting on airs. She was thinking about how to find a way to go to Prince Yi's house to plead with Zhenzhen after the banquet.

As for the other distinguished Prince Gong Fujin, Prince Dun Fujin, and Prince Chun Fujin, although they had smiles on their faces, they still looked a little unnatural.

The three men in our family are the brothers of the late emperor and have the most noble status.

Queen Mother, when you hold a banquet, you don't ask us to organize it together, but you invite a prince's side friend?

Moreover, he is not the prince of Aixinjueluo.

After Zhenzhen left the palace, he actually asked his Amarilin if he should take this job.

Ruilin smiled and said, "You have such a husband, what else can you not dare to accept?"

Zhenzhen said: "Should I keep a low profile at this time? I read that this is what the history books say."

Ruilin said: "You can't believe everything in the book."

Zhenzhen said: "Huo Guang failed to take care of his wife, which was the reason why the Huo family was eventually wiped out."

Ruilin said: "Can Huo Guang and Su Yi be the same? They are different."

Mrs. Ruilin said next to her: "Who is Huo Guang? What did his wife do?"

Ruilin smiled and said: "I don't even know who Huo Guang is, and he is uneducated. His wife killed the queen, and then made her daughter the new queen."

Mrs. Ruilin said: "Then our family is really far away from harming the Queen. Go ahead and do it, what are you afraid of? Our family has been suffering for so many years, and finally we feel proud and don't have to be restrained. Besides, the Queen Mother and you are still the same. Where are the sisters?”

Master Ruilin said: "What are you talking nonsense about?"

Mrs. Ruilin sneered: "Everyone in the capital knows."

"That can't be nonsense."

……………………

The dinner in the palace was over, and these ladies left the palace and went home.

Women, sometimes they can’t hide things.

We started chatting on the way.

"I've really been holding it in too much. Whenever I get a chance, I just want to show off."

"There are so many princes in the capital who are directly related to Fujin, how can she get her turn?"

"Prince Hui Fujin, Prince Yi Fujin, even Monk Wang Fujin, Prince Gong, Prince Dun, Prince Chun, which family's Fujin is not ranked ahead of her?"

"Do you think this is true?"

As soon as these words came out.

Immediately, Monk King Fujin walked away.

Then, Prince Hui Fujin also stayed away from this lady.

Then, Prince Yi Fujin also stayed away.

At this special time, if you want to die, don't come to drag us with you.

Prince Yi Fujin instead walked to Tong Jiewu's wife Wu Yashi and said affectionately: "You are willing to come back from Jiujiang. I heard that place is very comfortable."

Wu Yashi said: "Isn't it? The house in Jiujiang is much more comfortable than the house in Beijing, and the scenery is much better. There are things from all over the world, and the price is cheaper than in Beijing. As for the clothes from the Royal Clothing Bureau, you You know, the latest models in Beijing are all out of season in Jiujiang.”

Then, she said angrily: "If I don't come back, my home will be stolen by that vixen."

Tong Jiewu was demoted because he slept with the wife of his old boss and benefactor, which caused a stir. In the end, the thunder was loud and the rain was small, and the other party really reconciled and took her as a concubine.

His wife, Wu Yashi, could no longer stay in Jiujiang and hurried back to Beijing.

Prince Yi Fujin said: "Look at it, these gentlemen all have the same virtues, from teenagers to decades old, without exception. And this time your gentleman was demoted to the fourth grade, but your second grade is a good one." Don’t move. Even at the banquet, you ranked higher than a group of first-grade emperors.”

Wu Yashi said proudly: "That all depends on our prince. My aunt is also half a mother."

Next to him, Prince Yi Fujin boasted: "That's right."

From the beginning to the end, Monk Wang Fujin was very reserved.

Now that the Monk King is as stable as Mount Tai, she, Fujin, is also aloof in the capital, and does not need to be humble and petty like other princes and princes.

……………………

After Zhenzhen returned to the palace, it was almost eleven o'clock.

But today's business still needs to be completed.

Because a lot of things were finally brought together to her side.

While he was busy, the maid came to report: "Fu Jin, Prince Hui Fujin is here."

Zhenzhen was stunned and said, "I'll go greet you."

In the flower hall, Prince Hui Fujin sat and waited dignifiedly.

My heart was also full of surprise.

It is the etiquette of gentlemen to receive guests in the flower hall. Shouldn't women's families receive guests in the inner courtyard?

Are you really the one who entertains me in the flower hall as Xi Fujin?

But after everyone retreated, Prince Hui Fujin knelt down and cried: "Zhenzhen, please save our family, please save our family."

"Our prince is really confused for a moment."

"Looking at the previous friendship between our two families, please save our family."

When Prince Hui Fujin had a birthday party, Zhenzhen and her mother couldn't even serve as the head table.

Zhenzhen hurriedly helped Prince Hui Fujin up and said, "I can't be my husband's master. You are the elder. It would be rude for me not to see you."

"But you have to believe that our husband will do whatever he wants."

"It is impossible to practice favoritism, but it is also impossible to kill innocent people indiscriminately."

…………………………

Spring River Plumbing Duck Prophet.

Next, I don’t know how many female relatives came to the door, asking to see Zhenzhen.

Either to win friendship or to pick up the pieces.

So, no one really disappeared.

It's not like Prince Hui, who closed the door tightly if he didn't understand, but the door remained open.

If you want to wait outside, then wait.

Anyway, I just don’t see you. No matter how senior you are, I won’t see you. Don’t use these things to suppress me.

Su Yi's aunt Wu Ya's family was full of people, and she was extremely happy. She had never been so prosperous in her life. Those high-ranking wives tried their best to please her, and each one gave her more generous gifts.

As a result, when Tong Jiewu came back, he scolded her severely.

"You are so blinded by phlegm. What do you want the money for? What do you want the gifts for?"

"Does our family want money now?"

"Don't cause trouble for me, and don't cause trouble for the prince."

"If you do this again, I will drive you back to Jiujiang."

Wu Yashi burst into tears after being scolded. The next day, she went to the palace to see her niece, Princess Lian, and complained fiercely.

As a result, Concubine Lian gave her another harsh speech.

"Uncle is right, what do you want the money for, what do you want the gifts for?"

"People are finding fault with my uncle now, and you are still causing trouble. I think you should go back to Jiujiang as soon as possible."

Wu Yashi said: "Mother, you are my niece, we are the same family, can you help him speak?"

Bingbing said in her heart, you and I are the same family.

But... Your Majesty and I are truly a family. If you, a confused woman, want to ruin His Majesty's plan, I won't spare you.

Immediately, Concubine Lian said coldly: "I am speaking on national matters. Okay, you can go back."

……………………

The second elder brother is six years old this year and has already started studying.

Really much smarter.

Wo Ren was not only the teacher of the little emperor, but also the teacher of the second elder brother, and he even felt the gap between the two.

Although the second elder brother is three years younger, he learns really fast.

Moreover, full of curiosity and desire to explore.

Still brave.

Ask questions at every turn.

On the contrary, the little emperor became very excited as soon as he came to class.

Especially when learning arithmetic from Zhenzhen, this kind of intelligence is even more vivid.

"Second brother, do you like Master Zhenzhen?" Bingbing asked.

"I like it." The second elder brother said, "Master Zhenzhen also likes me and hugs me every day."

Bingbing was stunned.

This...isn't this what you see?

Bingbing couldn't help but hug her second elder brother and looked at his handsome and energetic little face.

Maybe it’s just preconceptions, but the more I look at them, the more they look like each other.

If you want to find a way to leave the palace, it's best to go directly to Jiujiang.

The second elder brother’s brothers and sisters are all in Jiujiang. It would be great to grow up together.

However, maybe Su Yi has another mission for the second elder brother.

……………………

Instead of waiting for Su Yi to return to Beijing, he waited for the Queen Mother of the West to return to Beijing.

After worshiping the Buddha, return to the palace.

The young emperor took the civil and military officials to welcome Yehenala into the palace.

After returning to the palace, Yehenala immediately heard countless rumors.

Among them, there is the scandal between Su Yi and the Empress Dowager Ci'an.

This... this isn't even a scandal anymore.

She was suddenly shocked.

So unabashed?

Damn it, Su Yi, what have you done?

I haven't had enough sleep? Are you going to provoke the guy to the east?

Could it be that you used some forceful means?

She knew best about the one on the east side, who was simple and indifferent, and almost completely uninterested in that aspect of things.

But even so, she remained silent, as if she didn't know anything.

And he also ordered everyone in Changchun Palace to be beaten to death if he mentioned even half a word.

Because in her opinion, this scandal is very fatal and will shake the legitimacy of the Queen Mother's power.

That was why she tried so hard to hide her affair with Su Yi.

So I think the one in the east is also extremely disgusted with such scandals. It's just that she is soft-hearted and can't control the mouths of people in the palace.

Since you can't control it, let me control it.

Now that we have returned to the palace, we sisters still have to work together.

Yehenala returned to the palace and immediately felt a familiar sense of security.

However, this cramped palace is really uncomfortable to live in.

"Mother, the proprietor is here." Andehai said.

Yehenala was stunned, the other party was the Queen Mother, I should go and pay a visit.

She planned to rest for half an hour before going to visit again, but Ci'an couldn't wait to come over.

When he saw Ci'an again, Yehenala couldn't help but be shocked.

Actually... so radiant?

Aren't you suffering from a serious illness? Why don't you get older, but become several years younger?

Moreover, your makeup was light and elegant before, but now...is it a little too glamorous?

The whole person is a little plumper.

When the late emperor was on the throne, and when you were the empress, you couldn't outshine all other beauties, but now you do it?

Just... with your current beauty, you can compete with the second elder brother's biological mother.

"Get out." Empress Dowager Ci'an said to Ande Hai.

"Hey..." Andehai retreated. For some reason, he felt that this scene was familiar.

Then, Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "There is something I want to tell you."

Yehenala said: "Sister, please speak."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "There is a lot of news in the capital now. You must have heard about it, right?"

Yehenala said: "What? I haven't heard about it."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "It's about me and him."

Yehenala said: "Sister, don't worry, these slaves are useless without discipline. I will discipline them well and kill this trend."

Empress Dowager Ci'an was a little embarrassed and said: "This, this is not a rumor."

For a moment, Yehenala was completely stunned.

This...is this something that can be admitted?

Haven't you seen that I haven't admitted this matter publicly in front of you until now?

This is the handle.

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I'm here to talk to you. In the future, I...I may also go to worship Buddha for about half a year, and the affairs in the palace may be left to you."

……………………

Empress Dowager Ci'an left.

Yehenala couldn't tell whether she was surprised, happy, or angry.

In short, it is a mixture of five flavors.

But I also feel a little bit more contempt for Ci'an in my heart. He is too simple-minded. You can't wait to talk to me?

However, facing Ci'an like this, she felt much more at ease.

At this moment, An Dehai came in and reported: "The Queen Mother, Prince Hui Fujin has come to ask for an audience."

"Let her in."

After a while, Prince Hui Fujin came in, kowtowed desperately and said: "Empress, please save our family."

Yehenala said: "What are you talking about? Ande Hai, why don't you help old Fujin up?"

"Old Fujin, according to seniority, I should call you aunt. Why do you do this?"

Prince Hui Fujin said: "Your Majesty, our prince is old and confused and has made a big mistake. Now he knows he made a mistake. Please have mercy, Master."

Yehenara said: "Your Prince Hui is an old fool. Others don't jump out, but he jumped out and interfered with Zeng Guofan's affairs."

Prince Hui Fujin said: "Who says it's not the case? But please forgive him for the sake of his old age and confusion."

Yehenala said: "Are you frightened by the fate of Duanhua, Sushun and others?"

Prince Hui Fujin said: "Yes."

Yehenara said: "Don't worry about this. The current situation is not that serious. And Prince Hui is not that serious either. Besides, Zeng Guofan only committed suicide, and Peng Yulin and others were only demoted. "Prince Hui is the elder of our clan, how can he be punished?"

Prince Hui Fujin said: "My master is really kind-hearted. I thank you for your kindness."

Yehenala said: "I will definitely be exempted from all the errands, and I will definitely be demoted, but at least the princes and princes of your family can be kept. Choose an outstanding son to take the title. "

Actually, she shouldn't have said that.

How could it be revealed so quickly?

However, she had been away from power for too long, almost a year, so she couldn't wait to feel the taste of power again.

That feeling of controlling other people's destiny is so good.

Prince Hui Fujin was astonished, and then said with great joy: "Thank you so much, Your Majesty, thank you so much, Your Majesty."

In my heart, I started to complain about Zhenzhen.

You are just a side Fujin, just a little junior. I didn't even have eyes for you before. I ran to you and knelt down to beg for mercy, but you still said those words without showing any mercy.

Now that I have found the Queen Mother, everything will be fine.

For Prince Hui Fujin, he did not dare to hope that he could keep the title of king. He only hoped to save Mian Yu's life and not delay the future of his sons.

As a result, the Queen Mother of the West opened her mouth and all the princes in the family were saved.

………………

The capital cannot hide secrets.

Soon the news came out that with the grace of the Queen Mother, Prince Hui passed the test.

Not only did he save his life, but the king's family was also saved.

Suddenly, Chongen was furious, Tian Yugong was furious, and Ruilin was also furious.

"What?"

"What's this?"

"The situation now is certainly not as urgent as before, so there is no need to go on a killing spree."

"However, putting it down gently like this will damage the majesty of the prince."

"Mianyu has made so many mistakes, and his family still retains the title of king? Where will the dignity of the center be from now on?"

"Luo Bingzhang, Peng Yulin and others saved their lives because they surrendered. They gave Wuchang City and Chongqing."

"Zeng Guofan committed suicide, and took away Zeng Guoquan, Li Xubin, and nearly 100,000 Hunan Army die-hards, which reduced us huge troubles, and in exchange for the safety of Peng Yulin and others."

"Why should he be Mianyu? He should be punished openly by the court to prove the majesty of the law."

Now that's not all, there are also faint rumors in the capital that Su Yi is behaving badly in Fujin Zhenzhen, regardless of superiority or inferiority.

At the dinner held by the Queen Mother and the Queen Mother, you, a prince's side brother, actually stepped forward to host it.

Moreover, he was arrogant and unreasonable towards Prince Hui and Fujin.

Prince Su Yi is not Huo Guang. Can't you, Xiang Fujin, just be arrogant and domineering?

Chongen thought for a while and said: "This head can't be raised."

"Fu Jin, please go to the palace and see your mother, the Empress Dowager, to suppress this possibility."

Tian Yugong said in a cold voice: "This Mianyu could have survived originally, but if his Fujin behaves like a monster, he must die."

Chongen sneered: "This group of people really can't give you any good looks."

Ruilin said: "Yes, at this moment, we must not be careless and complacent. What we want to do is reform the great cause. If we don't advance, we will retreat."

Tian Yugong said: "Fu Jin, there are some things that are more convenient for you to say. It would be better for Lord Tong Jiewu's wife to be sent back to Jiujiang."

Zhenzhen said: "Okay, I will enter the palace right now."

"No, I'd better go." Chongen said, "I'll go and ask to see my mother, the Empress Dowager."

Zhenzhen said: "Uncle, it is more convenient for me to go see the Queen Mother."

Chongen said: "I'll go and be more upright."

Chongen had a heart full of fists. He didn't want the Yehenala family to hold a grudge, nor did he want to leave the impression that Su Yi's female family members were involved in politics.

……………………

Inside Zhongcui Palace.

Chongen said bluntly: "Empress Dowager, there are rumors in the capital now that the Queen Mother of the West has granted grace and Prince Hui and his family have retained the title of king. This is not possible. It will damage the majesty of the Queen Mother of the two palaces and the central authority of the imperial court. , It damages the dignity of King Yi."

Empress Dowager Ci'an frowned.

She was both happy and unhappy about Yehenala's return to the palace.

She was happy because she finally no longer had to worry about these annoying political affairs and could leave all the courage to her.

The reason for the unhappiness was that after the Queen Mother returned to the palace, Ci'an would not be so comfortable with Su Yi if she wanted to stay together.

Unexpectedly, she couldn't wait to seize power as soon as she came back.

"Last time, Sushun, Duanhua and others were brutally executed." Chongen said: "That's because of the great cause of reform. If you don't advance, you will retreat. Only by clear and canonical punishment can we shock people's hearts and show our attitude. Now the situation is very good, naturally. You can be more tolerant. So even if Prince Hui makes a big mistake, he can still avoid death. He will just be exempted from his errands and all his titles. But... after such a hassle, he will die again. "

"Otherwise, the banner people will feel that the prince is weak and can be bullied, and they will bargain again on reforming the flag affairs."

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I know this, but will it make people think that Su Yi and the one on the west side have rifts and conflicts and are being taken advantage of?"

Chongen thought for a while and said: "Empress Dowager, can I tell you frankly?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Of course, Uncle Chong'en."

Chongen said: "This moment, that moment. In the future, the power of the imperial court will gradually return to the center. To be precise, it will be the center headed by King Yijun. Therefore, the less interference there is, the better. Some signs are better to be raised as soon as possible. Let it go out. It is a good thing if there is such a sign now, but it will be a big trouble when the differences become bigger in the future.”

Ci'an suddenly woke up.

After Yehenala came back, Ci'an was determined to let go of everything, stay together with Su Yi, and even live in a private house in the name of worshiping the Buddha.

The result is that it doesn't work.

Ci'an said: "I understand."

Chongen said: "Thank you, Queen Mother, for your grace."

After he left.

Empress Dowager Ci'an immediately asked Zenglu to go to Changchun Palace and invite the Empress Dowager of the West to come over.

"Sister, Prince Hui made a big mistake this time." Empress Dowager Ci'an said, "I think he should be severely punished, what do you think?"

After hearing Ci'an's words, Yehenala's expression changed.

I have just returned to the palace and just announced my plan to deal with Mianyu.

As a result, you just gave me a no?

Then where does the majesty of me, the Queen Mother of the West, lie?

I don't care about Mianyu's fate, but I care about my face.

After a while, Yehenala said: "What does sister think is best to deal with?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Give me death and lose my title!"

Yehenara's face changed drastically and he said: "Why do you do this? Why do you do this?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "Sister, after Mianyu Fujin entered the palace, you should not agree so quickly and discuss it with me first. What is being spread outside now? It is said that Su Yi's side Fujin Zhenzhen has misbehaved. Inferiority. Who spread the news? Isn't it Prince Hui's Fujin? This kind of people like to make trouble. Once there is a gap, they will try their best to widen it. My lesson at that time is still vivid. "

At that time, Empress Dowager Ci'an was only hesitant about reforming the Eight Banners' military affairs. She was immediately seized by this group of people and was pushed to the opposite side of Su Yi's reforms, becoming the other's protective umbrella.

"So, this sign cannot arise." Empress Dowager Ci'an said.

Yehenala said: "But, what I said has already been said. Otherwise, just do what I said this time, and we will make a decision after discussing it in the future?"

Empress Dowager Ci'an said: "I plan to gradually let go of government affairs and hand them over to the Political Affairs Hall."

Yehenala said: "Sister, let me think carefully about Mianyu, okay?"

Then, the Queen Mother left.

The two of them broke up on bad terms.

……………………

Even if the empress dowagers of the two palaces deal with it calmly and cover it up.

However, the differences between the two people still came out.

And, fermentation started.

The Queen Mother of the West wants to protect Mian Yu's life and the king's title.

The Queen Mother Dong was determined to execute Mian Yu.

For a time, public opinion in the capital was abuzz.

The princes of the Eight Banners were once again enraged, and they criticized Empress Dowager Ci'an in private.

Are you still the Empress Dowager?

Are you still a member of the Niuhulu clan?

Are you still a member of the Eight Banners clan?

Prince Hui Mianyu did not do anything treasonous, did he? The Empress Dowager Cixi could tolerate him, but you, the Empress Dowager Dong, wanted to kill him?

This is the emperor's great-uncle, and this is an elder of the royal family.

Cixi had no intention of causing any discord with Ci'an, but she had been away from power for too long and could not wait to enjoy the beauty of power.

As a result, it is now in full swing.

Mianyu's fate has also become a reason for countless bannermen to vent their dissatisfaction.

It has also become a symbol.

It was at this time that military intelligence from the north came again.

Senggelinqi's report entered the palace.

The Russian army divided its troops and marched south, and the target was the capital.

Suddenly, the entire capital fell into panic again.

The memory of four years ago once again came to my mind.

Are the foreigners going to attack the capital?

At that time, there were only 8,000 foreigners, but they broke through the capital. What's more, there may be tens of thousands of foreign troops now?

Moreover, is this a division of troops?

Maybe the Heilongjiang defense line has collapsed, and the Northern Expedition Army has been defeated, so the Russian army will kill the capital.

This terrible news instantly suppressed everything.

Countless people were panicked and prepared to escape again.

Many people are even wondering, if the Russian army breaks into the capital this time, where should the emperor and the empress dowager escape?

Chengde is definitely not an option, the northwest is also fighting, and Xi'an is definitely not an option.

Could it be that they want to flee to the south?

……………………

This is not that Senggelinqin's report was too slow, it was already 600 miles in an expedited manner.

It was really that the Russians decided to divide their troops, and then officially divided their troops to the south, which took a long time.

The straight-line distance between the Russian base camp and the capital is more than 3,000 miles, and the entire route is basically more than 4,000 to 5,000 miles.

Without any city of their own, an army of 30,000 people rushed to attack the capital city for 4,000 to 5,000 miles.

No matter how you think about it, it seems impossible.

So it is almost impossible to go by land. Who knows how many months it will take to go 4,000 to 5,000 miles.

In the end, the Russian army decided to take the risk of going by sea.

After the defeat, the remaining Russian navy had returned to the base camp. And they concluded that at this time, Su Ye’s navy was fighting the Hunan Army in the south and would definitely not go north.

So, the Russians planned to take a risky move.

Use the fastest speed to transport the army to Dalian Bay by sea, forcibly occupy Lushunkou by force, build a defense base, and then go north to capture Shengjing.

Next, the large army landed in Yongping Prefecture and entered the capital city from this direction.

The reason why they did not attack Tianjin was to avoid the Dagukou Fort.

But there was also a problem with this plan, that is, there were not enough ships to transport 30,000 troops at a time, and at most more than 10,000 people could be transported.

So, they first transported more than 10,000 people to occupy Dalian Bay and Shengjing.

So, the Russian army began its own plan.

Because it was not a large-scale division of troops to go south by land, Senggelinqin did not find it at first.

The Russian army was very cunning and boarded the ship at night.

But Su Ye's army had airships. After repeated inspections, it was found that the Russian army had lost more than 10,000 people.

And the most critical thing was that many Russian ships parked in Heilongjiang disappeared.

So, they judged that the Russian army should have divided its troops and went south.

Then, Senggelinqin immediately used 600 miles to send this information to the capital.

…………………………………………………………

Tianjin!

Su Ye's intelligence, the intelligence of the northern battlefield, came to his hands continuously.

After reading it, there were only two words in his heart: Fuck!

There is such a good thing?

I really didn't expect that the war situation would develop to this point. The result he wanted was much better.

To be honest, he was worried.

More than 60,000 Russian troops, and a solid defense line, are really difficult to fight.

After Su Ye's 40,000 troops went north and joined the Northern Expedition Army, there were only more than 90,000 people.

More than 90,000, fighting more than 60,000

The pressure was still great, this was the army of the great powers.

Su Ye was ready to fight a protracted war, ready to continuously increase troops, and defeat the Russian army with the advantages of manpower and terrain.

He really didn't think about a quick victory or a big victory.

In the plan of the General Staff, even tens of thousands of casualties were prepared, after all, the result of the Crimean War was there.

The result?

The Russian army actually divided its troops?

And it was a raid of thousands of miles?

Who gave you the courage?

You, do you despise me so much? Create favorable conditions for me in this way?

Another intelligence came.

"The first batch of Russian troops officially landed in Dalian Bay, about 10,000 people."

There was a choice in front of Su Ye.

"Prince, the Russian fleet is evacuating from Dalian Bay. Should our navy go to intercept it at this time?"

Yes, should we intercept it?

But Su Ye wanted to achieve greater results.

That is to let the Russian fleet return to the base camp in Hailanpao, and then transport 10,000 troops southward.

At that time, Su Ye's main naval force will go to intercept and kill them.

In this way, not only can the Russian navy be destroyed, but the 10,000 army can also be completely buried in the sea.

At the same time, 40,000 elite land forces went north to encircle and annihilate the more than 10,000 Russian troops who landed in Dalian Bay.

If all goes well, the 20,000 Russian troops can be buried.

However, now the news of the great victory in the south has reached the capital, and the Russian envoy must have known it. He will definitely send an envoy to tell the headquarters.

It depends on whether the Russian fleet returns faster or the envoy of the Russian envoy returns faster.

In this way, Su Ye finally decided to let the Russian fleet leave Bohai and the Yellow Sea and let them return to the headquarters.

Not long after the Russian fleet left the Yellow Sea, Su Ye's large-scale fleet and fleet headed north to Dalian Bay.

His more than 40,000 troops are not targeting Dalian Bay, but Shengjing.

Because after the more than 10,000 Russian troops landed in Dalian Bay, they will rest here and build a defense line, and then they will definitely go north to attack Shengjing directly.

Shengjing has food, supplies, and a high political status.

The Russians will definitely not let it go.

Su Ye's army went to Shengjing in advance, so that they could wait for the opportunity to fight the most enjoyable war.

In this battle, Su Ye really didn't want to use any tricks, but only wanted to fight a conventional war, even if it cost huge casualties.

Unexpectedly, the Russians played so many tricks.

In this way, it would be a shame for you Russians if you didn't use any tricks.

The key is that Su Ye has airships in the air, which can monitor the Russian army's every move and be unilaterally transparent.

In this way, who knows what kind of victory can be won.

A few days later!

Su Ye's main naval force went north to the mouth of the Heilongjiang River, where they planned to rob and kill.

After the 40,000 army landed, they began to march quickly.

Rushing towards Shengjing.
