Tuqing: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 146 Jiangxi Dajie enters the palace! Hong Renli sacrifices his life!

On the top of Nanchang City, the flag of the Taiping Army slowly lowered.

The dragon flag of the Qing court and the flag of Su Yi's new army were slowly raised.

Then most of the new troops immediately climbed onto the city wall and entered a defensive state.

At this time, Yang Fuqing had not given up. After the city was broken, he led the last few hundred people to retreat to the governor's office and continued to resist.

One thousand Su Yi's new troops continued to pursue him.

Then, a new round of fighting took place in Jiangxi Governor's Yamen.

But at this time, Yang Fuqing's army was obviously in trouble.

It's not that the combat effectiveness suddenly dropped, but that the will to fight collapsed.

Before this siege, Yang Fuqing was actually full of confidence.

Although he failed to attack Jiujiang, he had pushed up the city wall many times, and if Lin Qirong's Taiping Army had not joined the battle at the last moment, Jiujiang City might have been breached.

So in Yang Fuqing's mind, Su Yi's new army might be powerful, but... that's just the way it is.

But this time, Su Yi attacked the city with 3,000 men, and he defended the city with 2,000 men.

According to conventional theories, this battle can be won.

He felt that he could defend Nanchang City. As for the Hunan Army's tens of thousands of troops, he would wait until they arrived.

But when the fight actually started, they didn't expect that Su Yi's new army would perform so well in a battle under such an environment.

First of all, not to mention the fierce internal strife last night, Yang Fuqing's two thousand people were extremely tired. The key is that once Su Yi's new army has a numerical advantage and can suppress firepower, its combat effectiveness will be completely explosive.

First carry out fire suppression in a small area, and then continuously send death squads and drop gunpowder.

Finally, more than several thousand kilograms of gunpowder was used to directly detonate the city gate.

This tactic has been completely verified when attacking Yangzhou City, and it is very easy to use.

Therefore, much to Yang Fuqing's expectation, the battle only lasted for an hour before Nanchang City was breached.

At this time, although he retreated into the governor's Yamen with several hundred people, it was of no avail.

These hundreds of people had long been beaten and were extremely tired.

If this continues, it will only be a matter of time before the entire army is destroyed.

And Yang Fuqing also saw this.

He knew that the governor's Yamen could no longer defend it, so instead of escaping, he walked towards the backyard of the Governor's Yamen.

Because Prime Minister Hong Renli is still there.

When Hong Renli rushed in, he sat there quietly.

"Prime Minister, go quickly, go quickly."

"Su Yi's army is about to move in, and Nanchang City is about to be destroyed."

"His army is not large. It is impossible to guard all the city walls. If you can still escape, I will cut off the rear for you and block Su Yi's army for the last period."

"Go quickly, go back to Tianjing!"

But Hong Renli was still sitting there, motionless.

Yang Fuqing said loudly: "Prime Minister, leave quickly."

Hong Renli said: "Yang Fuqing, I have betrayed the Kingdom of Heaven. I am Su Yi's man. Yesterday I poisoned Wei Jun's cup, but he did not surrender. I am the instigator of the internal strife between the two of you."

As soon as these words came out, Yang Fuqing was stunned.

I couldn't even react at all, it was like hearing a book from heaven.

Hong Renli said: "There is also the imperial edict of King Tian to confer you as the auxiliary king, which is also false. Now in Tianjing City, King Tian and King Yi are fighting openly and secretly, and they don't pay attention to your side at all."

This is another critical hit.

"No, it's impossible, absolutely impossible." Yang Fuqing was trembling all over.

Hong Renli said: "Yang Fuqing, please surrender. You are an outstanding general. You will have a place under Su Yi's command."

Yang Fuqing's eyes gradually became crazy.

"No, no..." Yang Fuqing roared: "You lied to me, you lied to me."

"You are the Queen of the Kingdom of Heaven and the Prime Minister of the Kingdom of Heaven. How could you betray the Kingdom of Heaven? It is absolutely impossible to betray the King of Heaven!"

"You must be possessed by a monster, you must be possessed by a ghost."

"Who are you? Leave the Prime Minister's body quickly, or I will cut you into pieces, pieces into pieces..."

Then, Yang Fuqing rushed up as if madly, trying to strangle Hong Renli's neck and force the evil spirit out of her body.

Hong Renli dodged lightly and dodged easily.

"You evil spirit, I will kill you, kill you..." Yang Fuqing waved his sword and slashed at Hong Renli desperately.

"I'll kill you, kill you!"

But Hong Renli was so skilled that even if he didn't fight back, he wouldn't be able to hurt her at all.

As for Yang Fuqing, who was in a state of madness, his steps were staggering and his moves were completely messed up.

And this time!

Su Yi has already invaded the governor's Yamen.

"Bang!" The door was pushed open.

Su Yi rushed in, and dozens of new troops rushed in, all aiming at Yang Fuqing.

Yang Fuqing couldn't help being stunned, looked at Su Yi, then at Hong Renli, and then let out a series of miserable howls.

Su Yi knew that it was absolutely impossible for the man in front of him to surrender.

"General Yang Fuqing, I know it is impossible for you to surrender. I will give you dignity and you can commit suicide yourself." Su Yi said.

Yang Fuqing looked at the sharp sword in his hand, and then at Su Yi.

"I'll kill you, I'll kill you, despicable Qingyao!" Then, Yang Fuqing brandished his sword and rushed toward Su Yi crazily.

"Bang bang bang..." Dozens of new troops opened fire at the same time!

Suddenly...

Yang Fuqing was stunned as if he had been hit by a hammer.

There were dozens of bullet holes all over the body.

A trickle of blood.

Then, the whole person collapsed to the ground and died with his eyes open.

Hong Renli looked at Yang Fuqing's body on the ground, sadness appeared on her extremely beautiful face, and tears fell from her eyes.

Su Yi waved her hand.

Dozens of new troops retreated.

One of the new soldiers even closed the door.

Then, they stood guard at the gate of the governor's office and no one was allowed to come into contact with him.

Hong Renli looked at Yang Fuqing's body, took off his cloak, covered it and said slowly: "After I die, I will definitely not be able to go to heaven. I will definitely go to hell."

"Su Yi, the new world you mentioned had better be good enough, and it had better be the real kingdom of heaven, otherwise... I won't let you go even if I'm a ghost."

Su Yi stepped forward without speaking.

He held her beautiful face and kissed her gently.

Hong Renli couldn't bear it anymore and cried loudly.

Then, respond even more enthusiastically.

Su Yi was still hesitating, but her hand had already been stretched out. The two men pulled into the inner room and could no longer see the body.

"enter!"

"Into...me!"

"Kill me to death!"

"Death to this woman who deserves to go to hell."

Then, Hong Renli seemed to turn into a female beast.

Su Yi seemed to have been raped.

Hong Renli ran his horse wildly, almost torn apart, venting his inner pain.

......................................................

When Su Yi returned to the city wall again, she only felt hot.

Fortunately, there are no bones, otherwise I would have broken bones.

Su Yi realized for the first time that he could not beat a woman.

Moreover, she does not allow you to take a break, it is completely uninterrupted.

She had toiled herself to the point of exhaustion, but... how fierce this person was.

and so……

Not only was Su Yi feeling hot, she even felt like she was being hollowed out.

Backache!

At this time, there was a violent sound of horse hooves in the distance.

A troop of cavalry approaches from far away.

The leader is Luo Zenan.

When he discovered the flag on the city wall and saw Su Yi's new army on top of the city, Luo Zenan was almost struck by thunder.

The worst happened.

Damn it, Su Yi.

He actually occupied Nanchang City.

He...how did he do it?

There were at least 15,600 rebel defenders in Nanchang City. How did he defeat them in such a short period of time?

Their Hunan Army was already fast enough, with almost no delay, and they had not even moved so vigorously.

As a result, it was still too late.

Su Yi said: "Lord Luo Zenan, are you here to support me? Thank you very much!"

Luo Zenan didn't speak, but waved his hand.

The two thousand cavalry behind them stopped hard, and then looked quietly at the head of Nanchang City.

"Go and report to Master Hu Linyi as quickly as possible."

Then, Luo Zenan dismounted and camped on the spot.

He ignored Su Yi, but didn't retreat either.

It was obvious that he was waiting for orders.

............................................................

An hour and a half later.

Hu Linyi heard this thunderbolt.

The whole person stood still.

I couldn't react for a long time.

"Sir, what should we do now? We will simply attack Nanchang without stopping, kill Su Yi, and then blame Fa Ni, and we can seize Nanchang City ourselves."

Hu Linyi couldn't help but look at this man.

Are you crazy?

If this is done, then the Hunan Army has only one way.

Direct rebellion.

The worst happened.

Su Yi captured Jiujiang and Nanchang.

Li Xubin said: "Sir, since you are here, you cannot go back empty-handed. Nowadays, there are still many state capitals in Jiangxi that are in the hands of Fa Ni. Guangxin Mansion, not far away, was captured by Fa Ni."

Hu Linyi almost gritted his teeth and shouted loudly: "Send troops to Guangxin Mansion and take back Guangxin Mansion!"

Doing all this doesn't make much sense anymore.

But this time the troops are dispatched with great fanfare, there must be an explanation.

There must be an explanation both to the emperor and to all the soldiers of the Hunan Army.

Otherwise, it would be too demoralizing to come in such a grand way and come back empty-handed.

......................................................

Next, these tens of thousands of Hunan troops seemed to go crazy.

Fighting all over Jiangxi, it seemed that he wanted to vent all his anger on Su Yi on the Taiping Army.

After losing Nanchang and Jiujiang, the remaining strength of the Taiping Army in Jiangxi was no longer significant.

The Hunan army swept past like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.

One state capital after another was recovered.

However, it was no longer possible.

Because when he left Beijing, he made it clear that whoever captured Jiujiang and Nanchang would be the governor of Jiangxi.

So far!

The battle to regain Jiangxi is over.

Of course, this is an afterthought.

..................................................................

Inside Nanchang City.

Shen Baozhen and Su Yi had a secret conversation. "There is one thing that your Excellency may need to know." Shen Baozhen said: "At that time, I led the Hunan Army to attack Jiujiang twice, but failed. In the end, Your Majesty captured Jiujiang City without bloodshed and let Lin Qirong go."

Su Yi nodded and said, "So, the Hunan Army impeached me?"

Shen Baozhen said: "Yes, the giants of the Hunan Army, together with many people in the imperial court, impeached you for being opportunistic, similar to Boyan, who stole Jiujiang City, and colluded with Lin Qirong to frame friendly forces, which is also to frame me."

This... is indeed a fact.

After suffering such a big loss, the Hunan Army will definitely not swallow this sigh of relief.

Su Yi said: "Then have you impeached me?"

Shen Baozhen said: "I did not impeach, of course not because of my integrity, but because I had other ideas at the time. I wanted to wait until Nanchang was captured before submitting a memorial to impeach, which would give you a fatal blow."

This is indeed Shen Baozhen's style.

Shen Baozhen said: "Looking now, I am extremely lucky that I was not impeached at that time. Whether it is the Hunan Army or those in the court, the charge of impeaching your Excellency will eventually fall on me, because I am the only victim."

"So, as long as I take action, everything will be wiped out."

"I know what is best for you, please don't worry."

Therefore, smart people are sometimes really appreciated.

Even if it is a person with bad personal ethics.

..........................................................................................

At this time in the capital.

The emperor was a little worried.

Su Yi has recaptured Jiujiang, and the court has received this matter.

However, it was not Su Yi's good news. Because at this time, Su Yi did not send any good news to the court.

It was the impeachment memorial of Hu Linyi, Luo Bingzhang and others.

He impeached Su Yi for colluding with Lin Qirong and jointly plotting to murder the Hunan Army led by Shen Baozhen.

The impeachment of Su Yi did not defeat Jiujiang at all. All the battles were fought by Shen Baozhen.

Impeachment Su Yi made a deal with Lin Qirong, exchanging food and silver for Jiujiang Empty City.

The Hunan army was bleeding and dying, but Su Yi never fired a shot or fought a single battle. He relied on opportunism and deals with the rebels to capture Jiujiang City.

What is the difference between this and Boyan at that time?

As the eldest son of Prince Horqin, Boyan was beaten to the end for being opportunistic and falsely reporting military exploits.

What about Su Yi?

Isn't there any processing?

How unfair?

If that's the case, it's okay.

The most important thing is the next report from the Hunan Army.

Shen Baozhen successfully persuaded Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing to surrender, and Nanchang was about to change its flag, and it was about to capture the city of Nanchang without any blood.

This way.

The contribution of the Hunan Army is about to exceed that of Su Yi.

Nanchang is the provincial capital and is undoubtedly more important than Jiujiang.

That means.

Su Yi obtained an empty city in Jiujiang through dishonorable means.

As for the Hunan Army, they actually surrendered the two rebellious clansmen, subdued more than 30,000 soldiers and horses, and also recovered the city of Nanchang.

In this way, a judgment has been made.

Of course, this is nothing. The emperor and Su Yi had already discussed this, and this was a way to provoke the generals.

His troops were not strong enough, so he mainly wanted to stimulate the Hunan Army to regain Jiangxi.

But now, the Hunan Army giants are impeaching Su Ye for colluding with Lin Qirong to frame Shen Baozhen.

But Su Yi didn't even bother to write a memorial to defend himself.

Ever since, the impeachment memorial came like snow flakes.

If the Hunan Army really makes a great contribution to regaining Jiangxi, then... then it must give the Hunan Army an explanation.

The emperor had been waiting for Su Yi's defense memorial.

I just couldn't wait.

But at this time, a major accident occurred at Dongling. During the construction of the imperial tomb, it collapsed and hundreds of people died.

This matter also involves Su Yi's brother Su Quan.

The reason is that the Ministry of Industry is expanding the imperial mausoleum, and the money allocated has been spent long ago, resulting in a lot of overspending.

Therefore, as usual, the Ministry of Industry borrowed money directly from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

This is indeed a common practice, and it does not even need to go through the military aircraft department, as long as the account can be settled in the future.

Moreover, Du Han of the Ministry of Industry was a favorite of the emperor, and Weng Xincun, the minister of household affairs, and others basically responded to all requests.

Moreover, Du Han can settle the accounts every time and bring huge benefits to everyone.

Why not?

Therefore, it only takes a few days for the money to go to the Ministry of Industry and be invested in the construction of the imperial mausoleum.

But...he was stuck by Su Quan, a doctor from the Ministry of Finance.

He was very serious and said that this amount of money did not follow normal procedures and could not be allocated.

He is a person who cannot tolerate sand in his eyes, so he directly exposed this matter, causing the money to be directly stuck.

His behavior was actually loyal to the king.

However, the group of people who built the imperial mausoleum could not get the money. Under the guidance of caring people, the public was outraged and the work was stopped midway.

And at the critical moment when the imperial mausoleum was being built, a major collapse occurred.

This part of the imperial tomb that had been built collapsed, and hundreds of people were buried inside.

The incident caused an uproar.

Su Quan impeached the Ministry of Works for overspending on the construction of the imperial mausoleum. He also borrowed and misappropriated funds from the Ministry of Household Affairs without authorization, cut corners and cut materials, which contained corruption.

The Ministry of Industry impeached Su Quan as the main culprit of the collapse of the imperial mausoleum, and asked the emperor to deal with it.

Over there, many people in the Hunan Army and the imperial court impeached Su Ye for colluding with the bandit leader Lin Qirong and murdering friendly army Shen Baozhen.

On the surface, these are two different things.

But actually, it's a thing.

Political struggles always go hand in hand.

Next, the political opponents in the court were waiting for good news.

Nanchang changed its flag, and Shen Baozhen officially regained Nanchang.

And this good news must be accompanied by a memorial to impeach Su Yi for colluding with Lin Qirong.

At that time, another general attack will be launched.

Your Majesty, you can't remain indifferent to such a serious crime of collusion and rebellion, right?

Even if you continue to favor Su Yi, you must be severely punished.

Is it possible to let it go gently? How can you convince the public in this way?

At this time, Prince Horqin Seng Gelinqin reported that he was ill at home.

This is a grievance for his son.

As for his son Boyan, he only speculated on seizing Xincheng and Liuhe. At best, he falsely reported his military exploits, and he received such a severe punishment.

As for Su Yi, isn't the crime of colluding with rebels, murdering friendly troops, trading with rebels, and seizing the empty city of Jiujiang even greater?

Why does the emperor favor one over the other?

Wouldn’t it chill the hero’s heart?

........................................................................

At the meeting this day.

Tit for tat again.

Because the good news from Shen Baozhen's side has not yet come, the political opponents just grabbed Su Quan to criticize.

"Your Majesty, Su Quan secretly withheld money, causing the imperial mausoleum to collapse and killing hundreds of people. He is so pedantic and has so little regard for human life. Please punish him severely, Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, please punish me severely!"

Chongen came out and said angrily: "It's ridiculous. Your Ministry of Works has overdrafted the project funds in advance. Is this reasonable? Su Quan blocked the funds to protect the national treasury. This is to be loyal to the emperor and the country. What crime is there? You just misappropriated it. Public money, but no guilt?”

The right minister of the Ministry of Industry sneered: "Lord Chongen, you are pragmatic and know nothing. This time the expansion of the imperial mausoleum was due to the digging of underground water layers, resulting in a large amount of water accumulation. Over and over again, the budget was exceeded. So the Ministry of Industry We will temporarily borrow the money from the Ministry of Household Affairs and deduct it from the budget of the Ministry of Industry next year. This has been done for a long time, don't you know?"

"Su Quan indiscriminately withheld the money and ignored the orders of the Hubu Hall officials. Instead, he said there was corruption. This directly led to the suspension of the siege of the imperial tomb, the suspension of the roof construction, a large-scale collapse, and the death and injury of hundreds of people. "

"For such a serious crime, please punish me severely, Your Majesty!"

Chongen sneered and said, "Who knows if you cut corners during the project or committed corruption, which is difficult to conceal, so you simply took the opportunity to cause trouble and put the blame on Su Quan."

These words directly stimulated the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs, and several chief officials came out one after another.

"I ask your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"

"I ask your Majesty to investigate thoroughly!"

"Your Majesty, I am impeaching Su Yi for colluding to rebel and frame friendly forces!"

Many people present were stunned and looked at the second-in-command of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Didn't he say that he would wait for Shen Baozhen's victory in regaining Nanchang before attacking Su Yi collectively?

Why did you start early?

And supposedly, the good news from Shen Baozhen should have come a long time ago, and it should have been sent to Beijing a few days ago.

Otherwise, now that we have started.

Then focus your firepower and impeach.

"I impeached Su Yi, colluded to rebel, and framed friendly forces."

"I impeach Su Yi!"

"I impeach Su Quan."

The emperor gritted his teeth and had a headache. This was the first time he knew how many times.

In the past few days, every court meeting will evolve into this situation.

Su Yi, why don't you submit a memorial or defend yourself?

Self defense? What is the use?

Empty words are useless.

As long as we take Jiujiang and then take Nanchang, all criticism will be wiped out.

In this situation, whoever wins will be justified.

In the final analysis, this is a battle of merit between the Hunan Army and Su Yi.

Who gets the most credit? Who is right?

Next, the entire court fell into a fierce confrontation.

Chongen and Tian Yugong fought with each other.

Wo Ren also participated in it and lashed out at the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

At this time, Tian Yugong, a Han official, was still weak in combat effectiveness.

Chongen, on the other hand, is full of firepower, and will immediately criticize anyone who impeaches him.

This is already the third day that this situation has occurred.

The emperor's patience was almost exhausted. Every time a critical battle situation occurs, there will be a factional attack, which bothers him very much.

"Six hundred miles urgent!"

"Six hundred miles urgent!"

At this time, there were waves of shouting coming from outside.

This time is in the middle of the court meeting, which is suitable for delivering good news.

Therefore, there is also a specific time when the good news will enter the palace. It is not random, but the best time arranged by Su Yi and Shen Baozhen after discussion.

The whole court fell silent.

Here comes, finally here!

I've been waiting for this for several days.

In the past few days, there have been quarrels and anxiety in the court every day, but there is no result.

Just waiting for this.

Under the guidance of the eunuch, the messenger entered the temple. Everyone saw that the messenger had a red cloth tied to his right arm.

The emperor also breathed a sigh of relief, at least it was a good news.

Even if it is a good news for the Hunan Army, it is a good news.

Just take Nanchang.

"Great victory in Nanchang, great victory in Nanchang!" The messenger kowtowed: "The emperor is very happy. Su Yi, the commander-in-chief of Ganzhen, has recaptured Jiujiang and the provincial capital Nanchang!"

"The rebellion in Jiangxi has been basically put down!"

"Congratulations to Your Majesty, Congratulations to Your Majesty!"

For a moment, everyone in the audience was shocked.

what?

Wasn't it Shen Baozhen's Hunan Army who recaptured Nanchang?

Everyone over there has recommended Wei Jun as the commander-in-chief and Yang Fuqing as the staff general?

Wasn't the Nanchang flag change carried out?

Why did Su Yi regain Nanchang?

........................................................................

Note: This is the first update. Every time I say I won’t stay up all night, but every time I stay up all night, I’m speechless!

If my benefactor has a monthly pass, remember to give it to me! See you that night!
