The news of the defeat of the Qing army at Runing, and the surrender of Seng Lingqin and others to the Chinese Empire, was too surprising. The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu was even more angry and vomited blood. When Wen Qing said the news before, they were still a little skeptical, but now that the British adviser Lieutenant General Albert has also said the same thing, then they have nothing to doubt. It's just that the regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu's reaction was too amazing, she was so angry. Of course, everyone can understand that. This battle was too important for the Manchus.

"Your Highness, Your Highness! Come on, hurry up and announce the imperial doctor! Wen Qing and other military ministers shouted.

Soon, the Imperial Doctor arrived in a hurry. After a period of scramble, the regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu was sent to the side hall behind the upper study to rest. I love Xinjueluo for a while. Mianyu came to her senses. After the imperial doctor's diagnosis, he was fine, but he was a little angry for a while. Now that the blood has been spat out, nothing is serious. Just rest for a while. It's just that the current situation is not for the regent Aixin Jueluo. Mianyu, do you still have time to recuperate?

The regent Aisin Jueluo. After Mianyu came to her senses, she once again convened the ministers of military aircraft to discuss countermeasures.

"Let's all talk about it, what are we going to do now? I really didn't expect that we were defeated in Runing, and that guy from Seng Lingqin had the emperor's grace! The Qing Dynasty treated them well, but they actually surrendered to the rebels! "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said sadly. The surrender of Monk Grinchen. It was a huge blow for him. For two hundred years, the Mongols were loyal lackeys of the Manchus. Now that even the Mongols have rebelled, will the Manchus really become loners?

"Your Highness. For those who surrender, we must exterminate their nine clans, and we need to punish them severely, so as to set an example and make an example of each other. In the future, when fighting against the rebels, no one will be left to chance. Mu Zhang'a, Minister of Military Aircraft, said.

"Master Mu, do you want to force all the Mongols to rebel?" Minister of Military Aircraft Wen Qing said coldly. Lieutenant General Zheng Gaoxiang, commander of the 13th Army of the Qing Army, and Lieutenant General Yu Wanqing, commander of the 14th Army. I don't care what to do with him. Anyway, these Han people, if they die, they will die. However, Monk Grinqin is different. He was the prince of the Horqin Mongols and was influential in all the Mongol tribes. If you want to exterminate the nine clans of Seng Lingqin, then I am afraid that the entire Horqin Mongolia will be wiped out, and even the royal family will be implicated. After all. The royal family is also considered to be within the nine clans of Seng Lingqin. That's the case. The entire Mongol tribes would have opposed the Manchus. Without the support of the Mongol tribes, the Manchus would be even weaker.

"Master Wen, those Mongolians have clearly been in trouble with the rebels. Otherwise, how dare Monk Grinqin surrender to the rebels? "The Minister of Military Aircraft, Mu Zhang'a, did not give in. Although Wen Qing is the chief minister of military aircraft, the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition. However, his qualifications are much older than Wen Qing, and he doesn't believe that Wen Qing dares to do anything to him. Moreover, on this matter, he thinks he is reasonable.

"Alright. Everyone, stop arguing. sent someone to raid the homes of Zheng Gaoxiang and Yu Wanqing, their families. Kill them all! As for Seng Gelinqin, sue the Mongol tribes, Seng Gelinqin surrendered to the Manchu Qing and has nothing to do with other Mongol tribes, and I will not target them in the Qing Dynasty. "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said. Zheng Gaoxiang and Yu Wanqing are both Han Chinese, and killing them can deter others. In order to prevent the whole of Mongolia from falling to the Chinese Empire, the Manchus had to adopt a policy of gentleness, otherwise the Manchus would lose faster.

"Yes, Your Highness!" Chief Military Minister Wen Qing nodded. He was very glad that the regent loved Xin Jueluo. Mianyu is not impulsive.

"In addition, the situation we are facing is already very dangerous, let's talk about it, what should we do next to keep the Qing Dynasty?" The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu looked at everyone. Now, he no longer mentioned defeating the Chinese Empire, after the defeat of Runing, the Qing army suffered heavy losses, and the entire Henan battlefield is estimated to be unable to survive. The so-called decisive battle in the Central Plains also failed. It was impossible to defeat the Chinese Empire at this time. Ai Xin Jueluo. What Mianyu wants is just to keep the Manchu Dynasty. Now, however, it seems that this has almost become a luxury.

"Your Highness, what we have to do now is to stabilize the front as much as possible. Now that winter is coming, once the snow falls, it will not be conducive to the development of large-scale military operations. When the time comes, we'll have a winter respite in between. "said British adviser Lieutenant General Albert. As for whether the Qing army still had the strength to defeat the Chinese Empire after winter, it is not clear. However, it is unlikely to come to terms with it.

The regent Aisin Jueluo. Mianyu nodded, and then said: "In terms of military affairs, we have to ask Your Excellency the Advisor to give us more ideas." As long as the Qing Dynasty can be saved, this king will never treat His Excellency the advisor badly! ”

"Your Highness, as an advisor sent to the Qing Kingdom by the British government, I will do my best to help the Qing Kingdom win the war!" Lieutenant General Albert said. However, he also knew that judging from the current situation, it was impossible for the Manchus to win the war. All he could do was postpone the fall of the Manchus as much as possible.

"General Albert, can Britain directly send troops to help the Qing Dynasty? With the help of the British, we should be able to defeat the rebels soon! Minister of Military Aircraft and Foreign Minister Saishana said. Since the Qing army was no match for the Chinese Empire, it had to ask for foreign aid. Everyone looked at the British adviser, Lieutenant General Albert, in anticipation of his answer.

"I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. The British Empire has always maintained a neutral attitude in this war. The British Empire will remain neutral in the future and will not participate in war! Lieutenant General Albert said. Are you kidding? At this time, it is simply impossible to get Britain into the war. There was only one possibility that Britain would enter the war, and that would be if the Qing army would be victorious and the Chinese Empire would be defeated. At that time, Britain had come to share in the fruits of victory. Now that the Chinese Empire is about to win, how could Britain be involved in the war at this time?

Lieutenant General Albert's answer disappointed everyone. However, the British were reluctant to help, and they had no other way.

"Yu-sama, let's find a way to form more armies! After the defeat of Runing, our forces are empty, and we need more troops! "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said.

"Yes, Your Highness! The Ministry of War will expand the army again! Minister of Military Aircraft and Minister of War Shangshu Yucheng said. However, the expansion of the army requires not only men, but also weapons and silver. At present, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's finances are almost exhausted, and all weapons and equipment are imported from abroad. The navy of the Chinese Empire had already blocked all the seas of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and even with money it was impossible to buy weapons. If you want to build more armies, it is simply impossible.

"Ladies and gentlemen, although the current situation is very unfavorable to the Qing Dynasty! However, the ancestors of the Qing Dynasty will definitely bless us to tide over the difficulties. The current defeat is only temporary, and we will definitely be able to defeat the rebels in the future! "The regent loves Xin Jueluo. Mianyu said to everyone. The more times like these, the less you can afford to lose faith. Otherwise, once the hearts of the people are scattered, it will really be all over.

"Yes, Your Highness! The Qing Dynasty will win! All the ministers of military aircraft shouted as if the Qing Dynasty had not yet failed. It's just that everyone knows very well in their hearts that this is just self-deception. The demise of the Qing Dynasty has entered the countdown.

The Minister of Military Aircraft, Mu Zhang'a and Pan Shien, looked at each other, and the two of them didn't say anything more. Previously, the little emperor advocated sending people to contact the Chinese Empire, and the withdrawal from the Guannai was a condition for asking the Chinese Empire to support Emperor Xianfeng to claim the throne in the northeast, and they also thought that Emperor Xianfeng was whimsical. But now it seems that I have to admire Emperor Xianfeng Although he is young, he has a good vision. It is clear that now the Manchu Qing separation will not work. If you can keep the Northeast and retreat to the border to establish a country, it is already a very good choice. As for Kannai, although the conditions are much better than outside Kansai. But the Manchus simply didn't have enough strength to keep the pass, so they had to give up!

After the end of the Battle of Runing, the forces of the six armies of the Imperial Army continued to attack after resting for two days. In the Battle of Runing, the losses incurred by the Imperial Army were very small. Whether it was the Qing army besieging the city of Runing or the Qing army attacking the north bank of the Ru River, the imperial army was on the defensive. The Imperial Army could deal with the Qing army with dense firepower, while hiding in the fortifications itself. As a result, the losses inflicted by the Qing army on the Imperial Army were very small. After the entire Runing War, the losses of the Imperial Army were less than 2,000 men. And there were not many casualties or serious injuries, almost all of them were only minor injuries. It can be said that this victory was a complete victory!

After that, the Imperial Army began to advance northward, further attacking the Qing forces in Henan.

On 4 November, the Imperial Army launched an attack on Xuchang. The 3rd Infantry Corps and the 6th Infantry Corps of the Qing Army, which were stationed in Xuchang, fled to Kaifeng before the Imperial Army could arrive. The commander of the Qing army in Henan, Boqin Gongwu, prepared to hold Kaifeng on the one hand, and asked for help from the Manchus on the other. However, by this time, the Imperial Army had already launched an attack on the Eastern Front, and the Qing army simply did not have extra troops to support them.

On November 5, the 8th Army of the Imperial Army defeated the 12th Army of the Qing Army, conquered Luoyang, and approached Kaifeng from the west. (To be continued......)
