Chapter 461: Destiny Returns

readx;?【Thank you' for the coin tip, thanks】

At the end of September, the atmosphere in Beijing suddenly became even colder than the cold winter of the lunar month. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yonghui, who was already considered the emperor, was faced with a sudden heavy responsibility, and the whole person did not mature as quickly as Fu Heng, Yu Min, and other Manchu and Han ministers expected, but was a little overwhelmed by the heavy pressure.

The news of Qianlong's great trip could not be concealed from the important ministers, clans and nobles of the Manchu Dynasty, and Yonghui did not have the ability to hide it. There are too many important heroes in the Old Summer Palace, and there are many ears and eyes everywhere, although the news of Qianlong's great trip is still in the blockade on the surface, but the people in Beijing who should know already know it. However, judging from the current situation of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this news has a bad impact, but it is precisely what they need to conceal.

Yonghui's prestige is not comparable to his Lao Tzu at all.

In Qianlong's time, the Inner Mongolian Six Leagues were very obedient, and even though Beijing's rewards to Mongolia have been decreasing in the past two or three years, a group of Mongolian princes headed by Horqin have always been tame to Beijing.

Otherwise, where did so many pure Mongol cavalry in the Manchu army come from?

But if the emperor is replaced by Yonghui, it will be different. He did not have more feats than others, nor did he have deep and long-standing qualifications, and it was not so easy to make the Mongols bow down. And the most dangerous enemy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Chen Han, if they got the news of Qianlong's death at this time, what would they do? And how will it react?

Yonghui, Fu Heng, Yu Minzhong, the new monarch and old ministers, after repeated discussions, came up with a way to temporarily conceal Qianlong's death and release the news of the queen mother's death.

"The emperor doesn't need to hide it for too long, as long as the first snow falls, just wait until the Bohai Sea freezes. At that time, even if Chen Yi hears the news, what can he do? "At that time, the opportunity for the Fu Han army to cross the sea to attack Beijing and Tianjin had been missed.

Liu Tongxun is about to choke. And before he took his last breath, he couldn't give advice to the new emperor of Da Qingguo. What he said, Fu Heng had already said. No, don't say it's Fu Heng, even the most ordinary Yijing official can see what Yonghui, who has never heard of the foundation, is most afraid of now, and what he needs the most!

Time is such a thing, Yonghui has never felt so precious as it is now. When he was young, he never lacked time to play, although his mother's position was not low, and he sat on the throne of Concubine Jia early, but at that time, there were more strong players in the Forbidden City, and the Jin family was favored compared with the Gao family and Qianlong's eldest wife Fucha family, it was just average. At that time, it was the time when the Fucha clan and the Gao clan were fighting, even if Yonghui had a high-ranking concubine, she was still a little transparent in the palace, so could she squander her time at will?

But now he is full of endless worries about the next month, and for the first time he knows the preciousness of the time of 'one month'!

Yu Zecheng started. With a keen sense of smell, he obviously 'smelled' a different smell, and the secret camp has been rooted in Beijing for some years, although it has never been possible to carry out the rebellion against the Manchu high-level officials, but his hands and feet have also reached the homes of several middle-level officials, and several major families of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The dark camp didn't think about plotting against others in the House of Internal Affairs, but used money to buy their families!

The latter is extremely dangerous, and there are people who are 'fished' all year round. And if it can be successful, then every 'shadow' will be the focus of the dark camp's careful operation.

These shadows were fully activated by Yu Zecheng at this time, and then they fed back a lot of messy news to the dark camp. Just as Yonghui knew, Qianlong's death could not be concealed from the 'Manchu Qing people'. There are too many people in the Old Summer Palace. Moreover, Yonghui knew that on the eve of this critical moment, Qianlong's death was also a major blow to the morale of the Manchu people.

Yu Zecheng hadn't gotten the exact news here, and a letter appeared in front of Chen Ming, who was in Jinan, a letter signed with the word 'Wang'. The content on the letter paper was only six words, but each word could turn into a ton of weight and slam heavily on Chen Ming's heart.

- The Queen Mother Qianlong is all killed!

As for who will take over next, what does this news count. The news of Qianlong's death is the most important.

Chen Ming knew which family this king represented, and he thought it was ridiculous to think about it, this 'king' was the minister of Xuanli in Shandong in the Manchu Qing Dynasty back then. Moreover, the Fu Han army, which swept through most of Shandong, had swept away all the property left by the Wang family in Shandong, and even some of the side branches of the Wang family were seized of the prisoner of war camp and reformed through labor. And now they're actually posting it?

What about the bones of the reader? What about the nobility of the imperial examination family?

The Wang family does not seek dignitaries and dignitaries, but only a way to live, and how pitiful they are!

"Is this news credible?" The news from Beijing City is that Qianlong and his mother are hanging, and now the news given by the Wang family is that Qianlong and his mother are hanging. Chen Ming was very excited, Qianlong's death, the death at this time, was definitely a heavy blow to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and for the Fu Han Army, a pair of rocket launchers were added, which was a great help.

If this news was true, Chen Ming would immediately lead his troops along the coastline and rush from Wuding Mansion in the northernmost part of Shandong to Cangzhou.

But if this news is false, his actions will completely disrupt the established plan of the Fu Han army!

There was a large group of people sitting in front of Chen Ming, everyone closed their mouths and eyes, there was no way, now they have two pieces of information, one is the news that the Niu Colu clan was hung up from the secret camp in Beijing a few days ago, and the other is the information that the Wang family just came. Which is true and which is false? You can't expect the Hidden Camp to send a new piece of information quickly, right? These people did not dare to speak easily, although the news that Qianlong was likely to be dead stimulated each of them to have their blood swelling.

"Your Highness. Why don't we let people go outside to publicize the news of Qianlong's death, and then hit Cangzhou to see Beijing's reaction? Gao Jinghui whispered.

Chen Ming thought silently for a while, "That's all it can be." ”

"Pass my military order, and all troops are ready." Anhui, Henan, and Jiangsu, "send a letter to Nanjing, so that Nanjing can quickly mobilize the garrisons of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and if everything goes well, the battle will start in early October." ”

"Order the sailors to attack Dagukou and ask them to think about the ice floes in the Bohai Sea." After October, it is considered the ice age of the Bohai Sea, and between November and December, it is called the ice age.

"Send a message to the camp." Chen Ming waved his hand at the end. Everything starts to act. This matter of spreading the news is a piece of cake for the current northern dark camp.

The whole military discussion was short, and even the words were very few, and many people came to Jinan in a hurry, and then hurried back without saying a word.

The flying pigeon sent a message to Nanjing, how Chen Han Chaotang was detonated, Chen Ming didn't know, he only knew that after the news spread in Shandong, Jinan was the first to detonate. Even the most stubborn person has cut off his braids, the big green fruit pill!

The morale in the army is boiling, and if you don't talk about it, just say that the people don't need the guidance of the secret camp, and the four words 'destiny of heaven' have been put on Chen Han's head like countless people don't want money.

Isn't it destiny? Let Qianlong hang up at this juncture. It can be said that it is effortless, as soon as Qianlong dies like this, it can be said that the Manchu Qing Dynasty has lost its hardest backbone.

The king who has dominated the world for more than 30 years, Da Qingguo has reached the 'peak' in his hands, and such a monarch has a 'centering' effect on a broken ship that leaks everywhere. But now he's dead!

On the fourth day of the spread of the rumors, Chen Ming had already rushed to Wuding from Jinan, and the assembled Second Garrison Division and Guards Brigade, plus the newly established Shandong Cavalry Regiment, the latter was a good cavalry selected by Chen Ming from all walks of life from the brave and volunteer soldiers, and concentrated the small 3,000 war horses captured on the Shandong battlefield and collected by the people, and gathered enough for a fully formed cavalry regiment.

At the same time, the troops of the 3rd Division in Huai'an began to move towards Xuzhou, and the troops in the Yangzhou area were ready to move against Xuyi in Anhui.

As for Nanjing, the news came back that the garrison of Jiangsu and Zhejiang was already massing in a big way.

And Henan's reaction is not questionable at all, from the southeast of Henan to the front line of Heluo, it is absolutely an all-arms war!

Of course, such a large-scale operation of the Fu Han army could not hide from the Qing army, but the Qing army's response seemed to be half a beat slower. Shu Hede's army, which had retreated from Shandong to Jizhou, had only now moved to Fucheng in Hejian Prefecture, and the journey to Cangzhou was less than halfway, and it was hard to imagine that Shu Hede would have arrived first when Chen Ming attacked Cangzhou.

The whole Manchu Qing Dynasty seems to be trying more to suppress the 'rumors', and the importance of this issue is still ranked above the imminent war.

Chen Ming watched Shu Hede's actions, and he originally believed in the information of the Wang family, but he suddenly rose to seven or eight percent. And with seventy or eighty percent credibility, what else does he dare not do boldly?

On the eighth day of October, Chen Ming set off with his troops. The soldiers are pointing directly at Cangzhou!

With the start of the Fu Han Army, Wuqiao, Ningjin, Jingzhou, Gucheng and other prefectures and counties around Wuding Mansion have rebelled. Local officials either fled in a hurry or cut their own braids themselves.

Wuding is about seventy or eighty miles away from Cangzhou City in a straight line, and there is a salt mountain in the middle of the two-day journey.

In one day, the team arrived smoothly outside Yanshan City.

Yang Lei hit his horse and ran towards Chen Ming's army, and when he was far away, he pulled his throat and shouted: "Salt Mountain has fallen, Salt Mountain has fallen." ”

Chen Ming's attention at this time was all on Shu Hedejun, who had taken a step towards Cangzhou, and he didn't want to take a second look at Yanshan after taking a second look. The Qing soldiers and warriors here are so angry that they are home.

"Yang Lei. Tell Meng Can that the cavalry regiment does not need to enter the city, and immediately sweep in the direction of Cangzhou. "The latter is a place where the soldiers of the Qing army in Zhili are deployed, and there is also a battalion of the Eight Banners New Army.

Cangzhou is a city worth taking a look at Chen Ming, what is Yanshan?

Although it is bordered by the Bohai Sea in the east, Beijing and Tianjin in the north, and Shandong in the south, it is known as the "hub of Hebei and Shandong", and it is still a place of salt production. Now it's military first, not silver, and Yanshan has a hair important in addition to salt? The Qing army in Cangzhou didn't take Yanshan to heart at all. And since Yanshan has been abandoned by the Qing army, it is only natural that the local people will surrender.

But don't underestimate the blow to the Qing army with the news that 'Qianlong is dead'.

At dusk the next day, the vanguard of the Fu Han Army, the Shandong Cavalry Regiment, arrived in Cangzhou.

In the explosion of the shells, Yang Lei climbed in a pit, holding a telescope and carefully observing the movements of the Qing army opposite. It seems that apart from artillery, there is no intention of sending a large force.

Yang Lei is a member of the Qingshui Sect, Wang Lun's righteous son and apprentice, a martial artist, born with divine power, and good at riding and fighting. Chen Ming didn't know if Yang Lei would be able to grow into an excellent cavalry general in the future, but now he is at least an excellent traditional cavalryman.

Yang Lei likes white, when he was in the Qingshui Sect Army, the conditions did not allow, he crossed the white mule, and now he is riding a white horse. This kind of dazzling color is very disadvantageous on the battlefield, and he himself is quite dark, much darker than Wu Sanniang surnamed Wu.

The wind and dust of the past two days made his color appear darker, but his eyes were still sharp.

Like the Mixed Yuan Sect, after the Qingshui Sect was completely absorbed by the Fu Han Army, a large number of people left the army. They have either returned to their original positions, such as Ji Panyou, Wang Shijue, Liu Huan, etc., and now they have all become members of the police system; Some were rewarded and happily went home to live their own little life, like Wang Lun's brother and sister-in-law; There are also those who were absorbed by the dark camp, such as Wang Lun's military advisor Fan Wei, the former host of Xianqing Temple, and Lin Zhe, the best martial arts apprentice under Wang Lun, they were taken by the dark camp and were transferred to Nanjing for training, as for where they will go in the future, it is not known to outsiders. Chen Ming knew why the dark camp valued Fan Wei and Lin Zhe, because the Military Intelligence Bureau was going to lay out Nanyang. Fan Wei and Lin Zhe are good chess pieces whether they go to Singapore, Borneo, Ha Xian, Hongji, or even Siam.

There are still many people who have been incorporated into the Shandong garrison, Yang Lei and Meng Can, and only a few of them have been transferred to the main force or sent to the military academy to study. In the end, there are a few female generals, not only the Qingshui Sect system, but also the Mixed Yuan Sect system, these two sects from the White Lotus Sect, the status of female disciples is not low.

These people were included in Chen Ming's account, and a group of female guards will be needed in the palace in the future.

The eunuch is estimated to be indispensable in a short period of time, but Chen Ming feels in his heart that this profession is a profession that needs to be eliminated, and many eunuchs' work can also be done by maids; In addition, from the aspect of not dyeing green on the top of the head, female guards are also very needed.

Of course, if you want to wear no green hat on your head, the safest thing to do is to accept fewer women. Chen Ming is very clean now! In the future, unless there is something that makes him feel excited, Chen Ming doesn't want to accept women into the harem anymore.

In the end, there was a group of people who became local officials of the Fu Han Army.

Liu Song and Fan Mingde are both people who are keen on fame and fortune, several leaders of the rebel army, only Wang Lun has a vacant position, and plans to go to Nanjing to retire with peace of mind.

The Qing soldiers on the position outside the city obviously discovered Yang Lei and his party, and the cannons came one after another. Yang Lei didn't care. In the binoculars, he had already observed the position of the artillery on the positions of the Qing army.

Jiaohe County, which is still forty or fifty miles away from Cangzhou, Shu Hede looked at the map in front of him with a tangled face. The location of Cangzhou City was marked with a red mark by Shu Hede, and the Fu Han army marched all the way north, with a fierce momentum.

Shu Hede, who held 20,000 foot cavalry in his hand, was the closest Qing soldier to Cangzhou, and if he did not enter the battlefield, he would rely on Cangzhou's five or six thousand soldiers to resist the offensive of the Fu Han army.

But Shu Hede was unwilling to enter Cangzhou and die in vain.

How far is Cangzhou from Wuding Mansion? The mouth of the Daqing River can still go with each other, and the Fu Han army with guaranteed logistics and transportation is simply irresistible.

It is necessary to let the Han army go north and put them in Tianjin, which is a good time for a big war. If you can't win, you can defeat them!

Moreover, Shu Hede knows the facts, and the "Qianlong is dead" shouted by the Fu Han army is not an absurd rumor, but a real fact. It's just that he still hides it from his generals, and even more from the soldiers at the bottom.

But it is also true that the soldiers were affected by rumors and their morale was low......

Although he tried his best to be clear about the rumors in the army, there is nothing good in this world that can always get his wish. (To be continued.) )
