Chapter 703: The Battle of the Yangtze River: The Last Madness
In the bizarre void, countless things flashed by like lightning, and he stared at these lights and shadows, trying to distinguish them carefully, but they were mostly vague. And those who recognized it clearly made him extremely painful, as if there were thousands of blades poking at his soul.
"The Emperor forgives ...... sins"
It was more than ten years ago, in Guangxiao Temple in Guangzhou, Li Wei jumped into the dung pit with him in his arms, and the yellow color made him almost vomit to the point of fainting.
"What about the prince's determination?"
It was ten years ago, Kangxi didn't know whether he was alive or dead in Changchun Garden, and when Long Keduo handed over the news, Ru Xi's low words provoked his hairs to stand up.
"Master!"
It was outside the Qingxi Book House, a little palace maid stumbled out of the book house, shouting Long Live Lord is not much, Li Wei and Chang Bao stared at him, and the sword light was rolling in their eyes.
"You-!"
The blade light exploded, half of the head flew up, and in the lower half of the head, the tongue was still playing, but it was an old voice that came out.
The half of the head that fell to the ground suddenly turned into a whole human head, and the bones rolled to his feet, and as soon as the eyes of the human head opened, he felt that every trace of flesh and skin on his body, every drop of blood was screaming, Huang Ama-!
"You're so ruthless!"
"You have today, too!"
The man's head was uncertain, one moment it was Emperor Amma, one moment it was Aqina, and the other it was Seth Black.
"Fourth brother-!"
In the end, the head of the man changed into the thirteenth brother Yunxiang, didn't he just go? Could it be that he is dreaming?
"Fourth brother, I thought that if I silently helped you take care of the roots of the Manchurians, you would be able to save the Qing Dynasty, but I didn't expect it...... You've let me down so much! You actually beg for peace with the south......"
The man gritted his teeth and shook his head, no, that wasn't his intention!
"Master...... Master......"
The call of the zenith gradually became clear, Yongzheng's mind flashed, the void suddenly shattered, and the soul returned to the body.
When he opened his eyes and found himself lying on the couch, his body was already sweaty, Yongzheng felt a splitting headache, and said suspiciously: "Aren't I still criticizing the folds?" β
Wang Yicheng, who was kneeling on the edge of the collapse, burst into tears: "Ouch! The master has finally woken up! The master has been in a daze for a long time, and the military planes outside are checking the prescriptions of the imperial doctors......"
Half a day has passed?
Yongzheng froze, and a trace of memory was pulled out of his stiff and painful brain.
First, when he received the news that Thirteen had gone, he was heartbroken, but he could withstand it. After all, Thirteen's illness has been delayed for more than half a year, and he has been prepared in his heart.
But then I saw the newspaper "Zhongliu" again......
Thinking of the big article on the front page of the newspaper, Yongzheng felt his temples jump again. The newspaper even engraved the handwritten letter, which was specially set in red, and the dense seal on the handwritten was dazzlingly red, which was his Yongzheng seal!
At that time, his vision was blurred, and he thought it was just a moment, but he didn't think that half a day had passed.
"Swing the ...... Go to Yinghua Palace! β
The ancients did not deceive me!
Yongzheng got up tremblingly, ignoring the obstruction of Wang Yicheng and even the military aircraft and imperial doctors outside, and went straight to the Yinghua Palace.
"Why!? Why do you want to collude with Li Xi? Isn't that who is Li Xi going to arrange? You are leading Li Shi's order to come to harm me!? β
In the Yinghua Palace, Yongzheng gritted his teeth and stared at Ru Xi, eager to devour this woman alive. He trusted her in every way, and gave her a seal, and she passed on the word. Unexpectedly, she actually distorted her peace talks on an equal footing into a servile begging peace. "Yongzheng Eighteen Articles"? It's Ru Xi Eighteen!
This news has to be taken seriously by the government and the opposition, what kind of emperor is he Yongzheng!? hateful and his seal, he wants to reprimand for conspiring and spreading rumors for the Southern Barbarians, and it is difficult to convince the government and the opposition wholeheartedly. ..., Ru Xi was also confused and panicked, she thought she knew enough about Li Shi, but she didn't expect that after more than ten years between the north and the south, Li Shi's imperial heart was already so heroic, she didn't care about her at all, she didn't care about Yongzheng, and she didn't even care about the Qing Dynasty.
"Concubine...... The concubines don't know, they don't know anything......"
Seeing Ru Xi shaking her head indiscriminately, looking like she wanted to shirk the blame, and then thinking that she was instigating her to send troops before, Yongzheng suddenly felt that today's crisis was all thanks to this woman!
With a snap, Yongzheng slapped Ru Xi in the face, with so much force, Ru Xi almost flew to the ground in a circle.
"You don't know!? How capable are you, aren't you manipulating the Qing Dynasty with one hand? Just lie on the ground and wait! β
Yongzheng came out of the Yinghua Hall angrily, Ru Xi lay on the ground for a long time, and when he got up, his face was swollen and tall, and he spat out bloody saliva, mixed with a tooth.
Her eyes straightened, and she smiled dumbly: "Fourth elder brother, he finally touched me, but this first time, it was a slap...... No, he's not the fourth elder brother anymore, he's Emperor Yongzheng, hehe, haha...... Emperor Yongzheng, the emperor who was in the right seat with a few people hugging him. β
"Sister!"
Not long after, a palace maid rushed in, and when she saw Ru Xi like this, she exclaimed.
"Sister? Do you still think I'm a sister? Why didn't you follow him? Did you come and hit me in the other half of my face on his orders? β
The person who came was Ru An, looking at her bulging lower abdomen, Ru Xi's heart suddenly exploded.
First, he picked up the teacup on the table, threw his hand and smashed it on Ru'an's head, and then waved the round stool and threw it on Ru'an's body.
"Sister! Spare me! Don't hit your stomach, don't! That's the Emperorβ"
Even if Ru Xili is weak, the round stool is slamming on Ru An's body, and it hits his head once or twice, and the blood flows for a long time. And Ru An was rolling on the ground, protecting his abdomen and abdomen, and subconsciously begging Ru Xi for mercy, but it added fuel to the fire, which made Ru Xi have more strength in his hands.
Ru An shouted in a sad voice: "It's also my sister's!" My sister is serving the emperor on behalf of my sister, whether it is a man or a woman, it is my sister's! β
Ru Xi finally stopped, she sat on the ground, and shook her head stupidly: "It's gone, there's no hope......"
The blood stained his body, and his arm seemed to be smashed and dislocated, but Ru An crawled over with one hand, grabbed Ru Xi and said: "It was my sister who gave my sister this glory and wealth, and gave my sister this life, my sister has nothing, and my sister is gone, and my sister is there!" β
Many years ago, the memory of following this little girl to rely on Shi Lu came to my heart, and in the Whampoa Boundless Palace, a wicked woman beside Li Shi broke the red pill with a short gun at the same time. Entering the Forbidden City, the sisters comforted each other and were entangled together for several years. Ru Xixin said, yes, except for this sister, she has no one to rely on.
No, there is one more person......
Ru Xi shouted sadly: "Little plum! Your master can't get rid of his sin, it's over! You go to Ruan, she is me, I am her! β
There was a sound of pooping outside the door, and there was such a big movement inside, Li Lianying had already come, but seeing that it was the master who was rectifying Ru'an, of course he didn't dare to make a sound. And now the master's words are simply handing over the aftermath. Thinking of the uncertain future of her master, but still thinking of herself, Li Lianying cried while kowtowing.
Gently stroking Ru An's belly, Ru Xi whispered: "Then you will live well on behalf of your sister......
Not long after, a team of guards came to Yinghua Palace, and without saying a word, they escorted Ru Xi away. Ru Xi had expected that she made her own opinion, causing Yongzheng to lose so much face, just a slap could not calm Yongzheng's anger.
"I'm waiting for you below......"
When she was thrown into the prison of the Internal Affairs Bureau, Ru Xi felt that the past ten years had been like a dream, and she had no hope of surviving. ..., Yang Xin Palace, Yongzheng was full of excitement, summoned the military ministers, and carefully arranged the affairs of the military state, he would never admit defeat!
At that time, he had no chance of winning, but he was able to have the last laugh in the battle for succession, and the current situation is far from the point of complete collapse.
Fu Erdan also pressed Nanban in Hanzhong, Yue Zhongqi was defending Lizhou, Ortai was protecting Jingxiang, and Tian Wenjing was still guarding Nanchang. As long as Xibao Zichen is defeated and faces the Nanban, the whole army can return to the division safely, and Li Fu is still trying his best to collect money and suppress the chaos in the south of the Yangtze River. The three generals of Jiangnan can also discern the current situation and take the initiative to retreat to the Xuzhou portal. Although Li Wei was not talented, he heard that he had not slept all night during this time, so he was busy dispatching people and horses to suppress the bandits, and in less than fifty, his braids were all white.
The courtiers are still loyal, how can he, the master, give up?
The most urgent thing at the moment is to clean up people's hearts.
"Nanban took advantage of the chaos to spread rumors, and the customs were rectified, so that the yamen could thunder and thunder and purge the rumors! But there are Tibetan Nanban newspapers and books, kill! But there are oral rumors of the situation between the north and the south, kill! β
"Investigate what Hubei Green Camp and the local did before, but anyone who collaborates with the enemy will be killed!"
"Check the local county government in Jiangnan, but anyone who is controlled by the Nanban and does things for the Nanban will be killed!"
Yongzheng's three killing orders were released like this, and for a time, in Zhili, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Anhui and other provinces, Yinghua's newspapers and books were gone, and where things were done hard, the executioners cut people day by day, and a long string of human heads hung up at the city gate, among which there were many unlucky ghosts who talked about the peace between the north and the south in the street teahouse.
All the generals of the Hubei Green Battalion suffered a disaster, and were convened by the Jingzhou general Cha Bina through the Hubei Military Conference, and all of them were arrested, more than a thousand generals, hundreds of heads hung outside the general's mansion, only the trio of Wei Hong, Han Deng and Wu Wenzhong felt bad before, and ran to Yuezhou to surrender to Cheng first.
In Jiangnan, the original government order system was in chaos due to the erosion of Yinghua and Li Fu's scraping of the ground, and it was powerless to rectify the county officials. But there are capable people under Li Fu, like Zhuge Jisheng, who feel that the officials can't govern those people, and they have to do it behind their backs, so that they can shock people's hearts. He dispatched the Great Righteous Society and assassinated Chang Bin, the prefect of Suzhou, in the name of begging for thieves, which made Jiangnan even more devastation.
At this time, Zhou Kunlai suddenly rose to prominence, and he contacted organizations such as the Scissors Society to help other prefecture and county officials clean up the Dayi Society, and Jiangnan also fell into a situation of separating from all sides. Nian Qianyao took two other generals and his forces spanned Hangzhou and Xuzhou, Zhou Kunlai waited in Songjiang, Haimen, and Li Fu held the north of Suzhou, together with Jiangning and Zhenjiang.
At this time, the whole world was looking at Yinghua, and since the attack on Wuchang, the pace of the Yinghua army has slowed down. Under the strength of Yongzheng and several of his right-hand men, and almost frantically resisted, was the Yinghua army frightened?
"Tian Wenjing's Nanchang city defense is really not bad, but it is too far from Pu Lin and Sha Lian Bimiao, thirty catties of artillery is enough!"
In the north of Nanchang City, the heavy artillery was swinged, and Zhao Hanxiang was nagging.
"Fire! Fire! β
Fang Tangheng was already impatient, Wuchang didn't have time to make a move, boated to Jiujiang, Tian Wenjing made great efforts to build city defense in Jiangxi, and the people's hearts were also gathered, and it was difficult for the vanguard to go down to the city. The army could only be left to contain it, and the army continued to advance, straight into Poyang Lake, surrounded Nanchang, and waited until Zhao Hanxiang's heavy artillery followed all the way.
Half a month ago, Jiujiang had already descended, and from Poyang Lake to Nanchang, it also took time for heavy artillery to be hauled, and now there were only sixteen 30-pound cannons in place, but Fang Tangheng couldn't wait.
A cannon made a loud noise, and the bricks of the city collapsed, and it didn't take long for several gaps to be opened, but countless soldiers and civilians were seen guarding behind the gaps, ready to fight to the death with the red-clothed soldiers. ..., "Keep the shelling!" The flying cannon is also on! People? At this time, you have to resist to the end, that is, you have an iron heart to go all the way with the Tartars, no matter what! β
Fang Tangheng is under a lot of pressure, and the people in the country are jubilant because of the "Yongzheng Eighteen Articles", if their army is weak and has never made progress, it will be difficult to explain. Although Jia Hao, who has moved the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion to Wuchang, has the name of the Buddha Governor and pays great attention to the deaths and injuries of innocent people, he did not deliberately explain to the governors of all walks of life at this juncture, and it seems that he is also carrying heavy pressure.
Before, Zhao Hanxiang's Red Thunder Army almost flattened Jiujiang City, the Qing soldiers and tens of thousands of people were killed and wounded, and even rumors of "Jiujiang Blood Massacre" came out in Jiangxi, but Jia Hao still didn't have anything to say.
Fang Tangheng was scorching in his heart, since this is the case, then draw a scoop according to the gourd and level Nanchang!
In Lizhou, Hunan, Yue Chaolong looked at the big banner with the word "Yue" floating at the head of the city, shook his head and sneered.
"Herald! The general offensive begins! β
Without turning his head, he said to his son Yue Shenglin, who saluted excitedly and left.
The city of Lizhou is not strong, but Yue Chaolong's artillery is not enough, so he was not in a hurry to attack with all his strength before. And after the artillery and a red-clothed division that strengthened his army, and the two volunteer divisions were in place, Yue Chaolong's appetite grew, and he was waiting for Yue Zhongqi to gather the Jingxiang Green Battalion in place.
He Mengfeng had captured Hanyang and Hankou, and Ortai had fled all the way north to Xiangyang, finally having room to dispatch resources. Jingzhou General Cha Bina did not give Yue Zhongqi the banner camp, and Ortai sent the Hubei Green Battalion, which had almost replaced all the generals, to Yue Zhongqi.
Therefore, in this small Lizhou, Yue Zhongqi had 40,000 horses at this time, and Yue Chaolong's Tianwei army had more than 30,000 horses.
The two sides have been confronting each other, and now, Jia Hao confessed: "Don't wait for all the dishes to be served before moving the chopsticks, if you don't eat, it will be cold!" β
Yue Chaolong also felt that the time was ripe and began to storm Lizhou.
Jiangnan Longmen, the sea sails are like clouds, Feng must be dressed in the blue clothes and red pants uniform of the Fubo Army, and after saluting He Mengfeng, he said excitedly: "It's finally time to do it, we have been waiting for several years." β
He Mengfeng nodded and waved his arm: "Then let's go, Zhenjiang belongs to your navy, we will take Suzhou directly, and then we will meet Jiangning!" β
The red clothes are like a tide, surging out from Longmen, and the whirlpool in the south of the Yangtze River finally ushered in the Dinghai God Needle.
In the west of Luling City, Jiangxi, the drums are ticking, and two neatly arranged large horizontal formations are moving in the direction of the drums. Shells weaved through the queue, bringing up smoke and dust along the way, knocking down a human body, but the formation on both sides was unaffected.
"The Han people are not brave, and the Manchurians are the heroes!"
"Let the Han military camp take a look, let the red-clothed soldiers be shocked, our Manchu military camp is the strongest army in the world!"
Nalan Zhandai, the right-wing president of the Xishan Dayingman military camp, kept shouting in the horizontal formation, encouraging the soldiers of the 10,000-man military camp.
Before, the Xishan battalion was so anxious that it wanted to confront the enemy in front of it, and after defeating the red-clothed soldiers in the south of the city, they could retreat calmly.
But Bei Mingji didn't give Xibao this opportunity, and his task was to drag down the Xishan camp.
Xi Bao and Zhang Chaowu had no choice, they didn't dare to squat in a lonely place like this, and sent left-wing President Shi Liha to lead 20,000 Manchu troops to attack north, wanting to ensure the back road. But in the area of the Xiajiang River, it was blocked by Chen Tingzhi, who had already been waiting for him.
Xibao reported Yongzheng and declared that the camp in Xishan was unhindered, for the sake of An Yongzheng's heart and the heart of An Manchu people. He knew very well that if he wanted to report the actual situation of the Xishan camp, the hearts of the people of the whole country would be disrupted, and he himself would have no good fruit to eat.
Fortunately, when Tian Wenjing retreated, he transferred all the ammunition and grain to the Xishan battalion, otherwise the Xishan battalion would have run out of ammunition and food in this month.
But now it's almost the same, and if it drags on for a few more days, the firearms army of the Xishan battalion will be hungry and use burning sticks to confront the Nanban.
Whether it is Manchu or Han, when it comes to this desperate situation of life and death, they all fall into a state of madness. The Luling Tomb, which was already half of the city, was really unable to withstand it, so Pei Mingji had to let Gui Zhen's Sixth Division dispatch to fight the Qing army.
"I've never seen such a crazy Manchurian ......"
Seeing that the Manchurian army on the opposite side was not moved by the artillery fire, and approached step by step, his subordinates chattered to Gui Zhennian.
Gui Zhen said disdainfully: "It's not that I haven't seen people go crazy, and the end is ugly." β
In the north and south of the river, the Manchu generals and even the soldiers fell into a crazy situation, but the British and Chinese generals in front of them were not stunned at all.
There is this article in the treatises of the Heavenly Dao, and the sages have long said: If you are crazy, you will perish......
