Xingzhen finished the last fold of the day, rubbed her neck, and kept looking down at things, which was really not good for her neck.

Anqian brought the tea, Xingzhen took a sip, the boredom eased a little, and said to Shuangxi, who was standing on the side, "You can take it to the military plane." ”

"Wow."

Xingzhen got up and walked out of the East Warm Pavilion of the Qinzheng Palace, the May sun outside was already a little hot, shining on a few pomegranate flowers not far away.

It has been five years since she came to the Qing Dynasty, Xingzhen was fascinated by the pretentious pomegranate flower, in the past five years, she entered the court from an ignorant girl in the Eight Banners, relying on her own knowledge and the golden finger of knowing history, rising step by step, and successfully gave birth to the eldest brother, and finally reached the position of the queen, and now she can meddle in political affairs, and has the power to criticize and fold, in a trance, she seems to have integrated into this role and this society.

"Anqian, do you think this Jiangnan camp can be saved?" Xingzhen slowly paced around to the moon and Kaiyun, where the peonies were blooming.

"I know this there, and I have to ask the military plane outside." Ancy laughed.

"I don't know, hey, if it's for the tens of thousands of people in the Jiangnan camp, it's naturally the best to hold it, but if the armies don't belong to each other, after all, it's difficult to sustain the ......" Xingzhen said to herself, Zeng Guofan unified the military and political power in the south as soon as possible, so that he could pacify the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom quickly, it is now the seventh year of Xianfeng, and the second Opium War is coming soon! We must not suffer from the enemy on our backs as we did in history, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Second Opium War attacked together.

"Mother, these things are outside the world. We still have to care about the things in this palace, you know, the jade nobleman is about to be born! Anqian said anxiously, "Several grandmothers looked at the belly of the jade nobleman, and they all said that it was a male fetus!" This is not to be sloppy. ”

"It's okay, the emperor only has a son and a daughter now, after all, there are too few, if the jade nobleman wins the man in one fell swoop, then the emperor will naturally be happy, and the palace will be happy." Emperor Xianfeng favored those women who were as light as Yan's petite and delicate body. Hell that such a woman can give birth to healthy little children.

"What's more, the eldest brother is very good now. If you are healthy, you usually pay more attention, you must not have the heart of harming others, and the heart of preventing others is naturally indispensable. "Anqian should go down." Do you want to go and see the emperor? ”

"Where is the emperor?"

"Listen to the drama in the spring of the heaven and earth."

"No, I won't. Very hot day. It's noisy in crowded places, so it's better to go back to the dormitory for a nap. Xingzhen waved her handkerchief, "It's really hot this year. Fortunately, in the garden, the water is windy and cool, otherwise how can I spend this summer. ”

Ancy called out worriedly, "Niangniang", and was silent.

Xingzhen couldn't help but smile when she saw Anqian's worried expression about her behavior of going back to sleep in the dormitory instead of accompanying the emperor, "Anqian, you said that I am the queen and gave birth to the eldest son, do you need the emperor's favor to live?" ”

"That being said......"

"How long will it be good for Israel? If you can't help the emperor share the troubles, when you are old and decrepit, you will naturally be thrown aside, and now the palace helps the emperor to deal with government affairs, and also takes care of the harem in an orderly manner, the emperor has less troubles, naturally can't leave the palace, and there is no need to invite favor in front of the emperor every day. ”

Later, Yang Qingxi came out of breath and asked for peace, "The emperor has a new basket of bayberry, and he knows that Niangniang likes to eat sweet and sour things, so he specially ordered the servants to send it over to Niangniang to enjoy, and there is no need to go to thank him." ”

Xingzhen smiled proudly and said to Anqian, "Did you see it?" ”

The little palace maid behind her put away the bayberry, and Anqian was convinced, "Niangniang is wise." ”

"It's not wise, it's that someone should always remind me by my side, so that I don't get too complacent." It's a pity that there was no one to help the previous dynasty, and if the queen lost the emperor's favor, it would be a castle in the air.

"It's a pity, no one helped me come up with ideas, not to say you, Anqian, I'm talking about political affairs outside...... "I'm not a genius, it's impossible to be proficient in all political affairs, the title of Zhuge in this woman, or rely on my own racking of my brains to recall the history books I read before, and the political affairs are also the emperor's idea, and I just used it as a typewriter, but unfortunately I didn't travel to the era of Wu Zetian, and the bachelor of the North Gate at that time was famous, and a group of people belonged to Queen Wu, giving advice and shouting. The internal and external courts of the Qing Dynasty were too tightly guarded.

Rong Lu personally went to the gate to command, and some wounded green battalion training soldiers on the side of the barracks were groaning, Rong Lu thought about these flawlessly, and only asked the quartermaster on the side, "How long can the gunpowder arrows last?" ”

"It's already been used for a third of it," the quartermaster wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "if we continue to attack so desperately, by tomorrow afternoon, we will have no quartermaster to defend!" ”

Rong Lu nodded, "You ask someone to cook the meal and wait to reward the three armies," Rong Lu looked at Tang Deshan, who was panting and covered in blood on the side, "Deshan, you continue to press up, be sure to resist Chen Yucheng, and in a moment the reinforcements will be killed!" ”

"My lord," Tang Deshan stared at Rong Lu and said word by word, "will they really come back to help?" ”

"They have to come back to help, because we are just here to help guard the camp, the Jiangnan camp was originally their business, I have helped for so long now, and in another hour, they will not come back," Rong Lu turned his head and looked at the battlefield of the two armies intertwined with the darkness and firelight, the sound of fighting and the sound of guns, "Then we are benevolent and righteous, and collect the brothers to break through, even if the Jiangnan camp is destroyed, we will have no fault!" ”

Besides, I don't have much time left.

Li Xiucheng saw that in front of the Qing army camp under the firelight, countless Taiping troops climbed into the deep trench and climbed the high wall, although the Qing army inside was still struggling to resist, the decline was gradually revealed, Li Xiucheng nodded, and was about to order to continue to rush forward, a series of chirping sounds sounded behind him, Li Xiucheng frowned, turned his head to look behind him, "What's going on?" ”

"It seems that there are demons on the periphery to harass you."

"There is no Qing Demon Force near the left, could it be a group training from Anhui over there in Jiangbei? According to the character of the surnamed Li Tuanlian. I won't do this kind of thing," Li Xiucheng said suspiciously, suddenly remembering one thing and widening his eyes, could it be?

"Report! Chung Wang Chitose, in front, in front is Zhang Guoliang's dog thief's troops! And Zhang Yuliang! ”

"What!" Li Xiucheng was shocked and stood up, "Didn't they go south to rescue Hangzhou?" "How did he know that Hangzhou had already made a false shot! Li Xiucheng calmed down and saw that the people on the side were in a panic. shouted: "What are you panicking about! "Eyes staring at the south, there was a sound of fighting." This place is handed over to the command of the King of England, and the King will personally meet this Zhang Guoliang! I don't believe it, he Zhang Guoliang has wings and can fly back from Hangzhou! Lead the way! ”

"Yes!"

Zhang Guoliang swung his knife and slashed down the commander of a Taiping army. Laugh. "Good. Very good, this is enough money! A conductor's head is killed! Zhang Yuliang also stabbed a Taiping sergeant with a spear on the side, "Lord Admiral." A certain general will not lose you! ”

"Okay, let's see who kills more and kills faster! Those who lose, pay out of their pockets to invite Xinghualou for a night of flower wine! Zhang Guoliang felt hot all over, tore off the armor on his body, exposed the black hair on his chest, clamped the horse's belly, and galloped towards the front, "Brother, I don't wait for you, I have to rush forward to get Li Xiucheng's dog head!" ”

"Brother, you don't have to wait, look at the brother, I'll go and get the head of the four-eyed dog first!"

The two of them led a torrent of cavalry, and the infantry on the side hurriedly followed, shouting and rushing into the encirclement of the Taiping army.

"Fight! Fight for your country! ”

On May 15, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom King Li Xiucheng, the British King Chen Yucheng and other five-way army surrounded the Qing army's Jiangnan camp, from the morning to the end of the unitary hour, not an inch of advance, Chen Yucheng took the lead, bravely forward, the Jiangnan camp was finally opened a hole, at this time, the division of troops to rescue Hangzhou Zhang Guoliang and Zhang Yuliang to help, in the Taiping army encirclement outside the head of the four to kill, the Taiping army offensive for a slowdown, Li Xiucheng led the team to block Zhang Guoliang's department, the two saw each other, the eyes were red, the battle for hundreds of rounds, The loyal king Li Xiucheng ordered the wrestlers to infiltrate the Qing army and attack Zhang Guoliang, who was crushed and died under the Yin Gong Bridge. Chen Yucheng was hit by an arrow in the waist and abdomen when attacking the Jiangnan camp, Rong Lu saw that he could not do anything, set fire to the camp, and led his troops to break out of the encirclement, rendezvous with Zhang Yuliang, fled to Jurong, and then retreated to Jintan. In this battle, the Qing army suffered more than 20,000 casualties, and the Taiping army suffered more than 13,600 casualties, which can be described as a tragic victory.

Xiucheng entered the camp in the south of the Yangtze River, ordered the corpse of Guoliang, and said: "The two countries exchange troops, and each is loyal to its own affairs." Although life is an enemy, death can still be an enemy? To the pagoda under the funeral. ”

When the news of the defeat reached the Qing court, Emperor Xianfeng was very depressed and asked Zhang Guoliang's whereabouts many times, fantasizing that Zhang Guoliang would not die. Because the body could not be found, he did not dare to publish it for the time being. Two months later, he was officially announced to have died in battle, and he was posthumously awarded the crown prince Taibao, a third-class lieutenant, a first-class baron, and his son Zhang Yinqing was a baron. Later, he gave it to the posthumous martial arts, and ordered the local prefecture and county to build a special shrine to worship.

The strategy set back then was to kill more Taiping troops, so even if you spend more money and die more people, as long as you can destroy the living force of the Taiping army, although it is very cold-blooded to say this, but this is the only way at the moment, consumption, with the power of the whole country to slowly consume the Taiping army, when she heard the news that the Jiangnan camp was destroyed again, Xingzhen was playing with Jilin's new tribute Hai Dongqing, that Hai Dongqing was snow-white, and it was the most precious jade claw.

The fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is just around the corner, since Hong Xiuquan set the capital of Nanjing, the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been doomed, in order to save Nanjing, he can only always play the single old score of "encircling Wei to save Zhao". "Conquering Wei and Saving Zhao" who "took advantage of the situation thousands of miles away" and swirled away in a whirlwind battle can only alleviate Tianjing's urgent need by giving the enemy a temporary trouble, and a temporary plan is not a long-term plan, but it can no longer be done. Uncle Jian admonished Qin Mugong and said, "Labor to attack far, unheard of", the strategy and tactics of "unheard of" in ancient military history were actually used by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a clever plan, Sun Bin's siege of Wei to save Zhao is to wait for work, and the Hong Xiuquan painting tiger in front of him is not an anti-dog, can not wait for work at ease, but work without merit or work without merit, dragging himself down, only a temporary scare effect on the enemy, can not pacify the south of the Yangtze River, exterminate the living force of the Qing army, and running around is fatal to himself. It is the "sores in front of the eyes" that are healed, but the "heart and skull" that are removed. The peace of Tianjing for a time came at the expense of one's own vital strength, favorable fighters, and effective results.

The attack could not be carried out completely, and the results of the battle could not be consolidated. Taste the slight, and lose the opportunity when you win a big victory; Occupy and discard, so that small victories are often abandoned. If the attack is not complete, it is equivalent to having no real front; Occupy and discard, which means that there is no real rear. Big wins are like small wins, and small wins are like no wins. Even if Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng continue to fight and win, even if Yue Wumu is resurrected, they will not be able to change the situation that Nanjing cannot be guaranteed and will not be guaranteed sooner rather than later.

"Give this jade claw to the eldest brother to see, let it go farther, don't scratch the eldest brother, if the eldest brother likes it, he will raise it for him in the future, but let him learn to boil the eagle first!"

"Wow." (To be continued......)
