Luo Xiangmei got up from a Western-style bed and stretched her body, very satisfied. Look around, the big tomorrow doesn't know where Lu Dao has gone, probably there is some government affairs to deal with, right? Her sister Luo Xiangju was still sleeping soundly wrapped in the quilt, and a smile appeared on her face.

Last night was really a long drought for Luo Xiangmei, Zhu Datianzi's body was still so strong, he killed the Luo family sisters with one enemy and two to surrender, and after the incident, he was still sleeping with the two sisters......

Queen Luo is in a very good mood, and a heart-to-heart conversation last night made her feel at the bottom of her heart, her queen and Xiong'er's prince are all guaranteed...... Everything the emperor is doing now is to let Xiong'er have a vertical arch and rule the world, what else is he worried about?

Hearing the Queen's movements, Maria. Clementina walked in with a few servant maids and maids, carrying mouthwash, a washbasin, and Luo Xiangmei's special underwear. Several subordinates were busy around the queen, and Maria smiled and said with a smile: "Sister, the emperor has some urgent military affairs to deal with, and he has already gone to the palace, let me say hello to you." ”

Luo Xiangmei glanced at Maria with a somewhat complicated gaze, and felt that she was much more pleasing to the eye than a few days ago, although this ocean horse was a little swinging, but it was not a bad person...... This time, he didn't stomp on his sister by being favored, and he also pulled his sister a little, this favor can never be forgotten.

Thinking of this, her expression softened, nodded at Maria, pointed to her sister who was still asleep, and whispered: "Let her sleep a little longer, she has not lost sleep these days." Speaking of which, it's all my bad sister as a sister. Maria. Thank you this time. ”

Hearing Queen Luo's words, Maria's heart was proud for a while, this time, it seems that she is the culprit! The queen was purely sold by her and was still counting the money for her - the reason why the queen was pulled was because even if the queen was abolished immediately, the current situation would not be her turn to replace her, since this is the case. Why don't you be a favor and keep Luo Xiangmei, who is lame and stupid, first? Zhu Jishi is now at most going to let her go, and if he wants to be favored again, he has no chance......

"I'm so wicked!" Maria thought to herself, "I'll have to ask Jason for punishment when I go back......"

"Maria, is there any urgent military business in Zhilu Dao?" Luo Xiangmei's whispered inquiry pulled Maria out of her thoughts.

"It seems that a governor named Miao Peilin has sent an urgent report, and the Taiping army has entered the territory of Xuzhou Mansion!"

……

"Your Majesty, Miao Yu, the governor of Huaibei, reported three urgently, and Wei Changhui, the northern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, commanded an army of 300,000 troops, and the soldiers were divided into two roads, all the way along the canal. All the way from Suiyang to the east, kill to Xuzhou Mansion! ”

The fire in the harem has just been extinguished. An unexpected, reasonable war ensued, and as soon as Zhu Jishi entered the palace. In place of Will, who returned to his home country. Haiming became the chief of the general staff, and General Liu Jiong waited in the hall with the latest military report. In addition, Zuo Zongtang, Liu Peng and Luo Zenan were also waiting there, and when they saw Zhu Jishi coming in, they all came up and bowed.

"All excuse me, sit down and talk." Zhu Jishi waved his hand, then walked to the throne and sat down, "Hehe, Wei Changhui pulled out 300,000 troops at once, there are really a lot of soldiers in this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!" ”

Luo Zenan laughed when he heard this: "Wei Changhui has 300,000 soldiers, and Miao Yusan also has 200,000 soldiers, which are evenly matched!" Your Majesty, let's send 100,000 troops to support? ”

Zhu Jishi smiled, Luo Zenan said "support", just give Miao Peilin a painting cake, let him resist hard, don't scare Wei Changhui away.

"What the military advisor said is very true, it is time to support Miao Qing......" He looked at Zuo Zongtang, "Zuo Xiang, what do you think?" ”

Zuo Zongtang's face was calm, he shook his head slightly, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, this is Yang Xiuqing's desperate fight, you have to prevent things from changing, and your subordinates feel that you still have to be cautious." ”

Zhu Jishi restrained his light smile and became solemn: "Zuo Xiang, how about I don't go to the army?" First raised 100,000 troops to be stationed in Huai'an, how about Miao Peilin's backup? ”

Zuo Zongtang said: "It's best to choose another general and raise 70,000 troops to be stationed in Huainan, so that it will be foolproof." ”

Liu Peng also echoed: "Your Majesty, this battle is already the last level of the Ming Dynasty's domination of the world, it is better to be cautious, and others Yang Xiuqing has a chance." ”

In this time and space, Yang Xiuqing is very prestigious, in the end, he defeated the main force of the Manchu Eight Banners New Army, defeated the city of Beijing, and captured Emperor Daoguang alive!

Zhu Jishi thought for a while and said, "Since Liu Xiang also thinks so, then I will take a trip to Huai'an, and let Ren Yijiang take two troops to Huainan." ”

Xuzhou City, Huaibei Governor Yamen.

Huaibei Governor Miao Peilin was in a daze in his signing room at this time! Although he sent someone to send an urgent military report to Ying Tianfu a day earlier, he did not think that there was anything critical about the military affairs on the Xuzhou front. Xuzhou City is impregnable! Since he took charge of Xuzhou last year, he has not stopped strengthening the city's defenses for a moment. Not only did it strengthen the city wall, but it also dug a trench outside the moat of Xuzhou City, built a breast wall, and deployed more than 120 cannons on the city wall of Xuzhou City, all of which were Western-style cannons made in Foshan!

In addition, the city of Xuzhou was also operated by him as a fortress, and the city defense of Xuzhou was by no means only based on a city wall. Important buildings in the city, such as the governor's yamen, the government office, the admiral's yamen, the barracks of the training army and the people's bravery, were converted into small, independent fortresses with food and ammunition stored inside, which could be held alone for a long time.

Barricades were also built on the main streets of Xuzhou, and the taller and sturdy buildings were requisitioned after the Taiping army entered the city and temporarily converted into fortresses.

Moreover, there are many defenders in Xuzhou City, with more than 30,000 semi-Western-style training troops alone, and more than 40,000 Lian Yong, all equipped with foreign guns, bird guns and various cold weapons. In addition, all the strong men in Xuzhou City were mobilized and organized immediately after the Taiping Army entered the city, and became the reserve force to defend the city.

Although there is a strong city to rely on, but Miao Peilin did not put all the treasures on a lonely city, the entire important land of Xuzhou Mansion has been operated into a large and small fortress, and even the countryside has hundreds of fortresses that can be garrisoned, and it is now late autumn, a scene of slaughter on the ground in Huaibei, the natural clearing, plus countless strongholds, this is not a strong wall and what is the wilderness?

So Miao Peilin really can't think of any way for Yang Xiuqing to take Xuzhou Mansion, relying on hundreds or thousands of worshippers in Xuzhou City to cooperate with the rabble of the Cao Gang? Joke! Not to mention that he had already started to watch out for those people, even if he was not on guard, the 30,000 training troops and 40,000 people in Xuzhou City could not suppress the rebellion of a maximum of 1,000 people?

"Yu Shuai, Yu Shuai, there should be movement in the Taiping Army in the city!" Liu Shuyue, the political envoy of Huaibei, hurriedly walked into the signing room and bowed his hand to Miao Peilin, "They plan to make a surprise attack on the West Gate in three days, and join forces with the Taiping army attacking the city!" ”

Miao Peilin was just silent, and he didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, Liu Shu was busier and reminded: "Yu Shuai, Yu Shuai ......"

Miao Peilin seemed to be still immersed in his own thoughts, and said casually: "I don't understand, I can't understand...... Relying on 1,000 people to take Simon? What's the use of taking it even if you take it? There are long moats and earthen walls outside the city, and barricades have been built on the West Gate Street in the city, and there are two small forts, and our Xuzhou city is also full of strong walls......" He suddenly looked up at Liu Shuyu: "Yihan, how about we put the brigade of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom into the city to fight?" Ambush the soldiers on Ximen Street, and then bury all the explosives given to us by the imperial court under the Ximen Urn City, and then we will ......."

Liu Shuyue was taken aback: "Yu Shuai, what did you say!?" Do you really want the West Gate Tower? In case ......"

Miao Peilin smiled, waved his hand and said, "Don't want it, it's just a broken city gate, what's the use of keeping it after this battle?" At that time, Xuzhou will not be ours, so what's the use of breaking the city gate? (To be continued......)
