Jiujiang, the entrance to the three rivers and the thoroughfare of seven provinces, is also the northern gate of Jiangxi. Lu Jianfeng, the imperial envoy, and the second governor of Liangjiang, the second general of Wen Zheng, has left Wuchang, and in just six days, Lu Jianfeng lost Jiujiang.

The news in Lu Jiansu's comments was against the trend and was unparalleled. It was obviously a bad news for the court. However, before the imperial decree came down, the news of frequent land losses in Anhui spread to the court again.

Before the court could react, Anhui Province, the title of the first state of Wu and Chu, was lost again!

If Anqing is lost, Jiangning is in danger! The court has no choice but to strictly order Lu Jianhui to defend Jiangning. Jiangning is also known as Jinling, Nanjing, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and the inner and outer cities. The city walls stretch for 120 miles, making it the most powerful city in Jiangnan.

As a result, in less than twenty days, the news that the long-haired bandits surrounded Jiangning came to the court again.

Now Emperor Xianfeng could not sit still. Jiangnan was the place of finance and taxation for the Qing Dynasty. If Jiangnan was lost, most of the national treasury would be lost!

The court was busy dispatching troops and generals. The Green Camp in Jiangbei and the elite Eight Banners of the capital had not yet assembled into an army, and Jiangning was lost! Lu Jianxian died among the chaos, and Jiangning General Xianghou relied on the inner city and only guarded for two days. The inner city of Jiangning was a city full of people and a place where people lived. As a result, none of the people in Jiangning were spared.

All of these are nothing. If you lose the city and then fight back, it is not unacceptable to kill tens of thousands of people. However, what the long-haired thief did next really touched the bottom line of the Qing court. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has long been known, but the court only called the so-called Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by Fa Ni and the long-haired thief.

After conquering Jiangning, Hong Yang rebelled and publicly established the country and established the capital of Jiangning. Jiangning was changed to Tianjing. These things were all manifesto, which could spread the world's manifesto.

The Qing Dynasty was the Manchu court, and the world was the Qing Dynasty. Determining the capital and claiming the country was undoubtedly the most feared thing for the Qing court. Back then, the ancestors entered the pass from the north, and now the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom started the affairs from the south. The court was not allowed to be furious.

The dispute between Manchu and Han has not stopped for two hundred years. Most of the generals who suppressed bandits in Jiangnan were Han officials, and the military chief was also Han officials. When the country was uncertain and the country was unstable, the division between Manchu and Han was particularly conspicuous.

The Jiangnan suppression of bandits could not use all Han officials, Han generals, and the military chiefs could not be controlled by Han officials. Suspicion began to spread in the capital. Since the Taiping Army's uprising, the court has used many Manchu ministers, but the endings are not very good. Dahonga, Ulantai, and Saishana either died or dismissed.

The Manchu ministers withered and the Han ministers rose. They led troops to attack Changmao Xiangrong. Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Anhui, from the governor to the governor were all Han officials. They were frightened and suspected that they spread quickly between Manchu ministers. Will the capital of the capital become the next city in Tianjing?

How many people in the world are interested in the thief? These are questions that I dare not say. All the officials and workers in the world are all Han officials. Thinking about what the Qing Dynasty did in Jiangnan when they entered the pass, how could it not be shocking to think about the number of Han people?

The large number of dismissals of the Han officials can only have the opposite effect. Promoting a group of Manchu and Mongolian ministers is what the emperor should do. Four-color sticks have learned a lot of imperial power and skills. At critical moments, they also know what to do and what not to do. After counting the number of Manchu and Mongolian ministers, they are pitifully few.

Senggelinqin, Mu Yin, Lin Kui, Sai Shanga... Another one is his sixth brother Yi?, using Senggelinqin to command troops and use the sixth brother to join the military aircraft, there is no suitable candidate at hand, so it is impossible to choose people at will. The only two royal relatives can take out the four-color stick. After using these two, the four-color sticks felt a little calmer.

The emperor and the royal relatives in the capital were in a hurry and stopped quickly. Although he was granted the title of imperial envoy, Xiang Rong knew that there were too many imperial envoys now. Governor Lu Jian-chung of Liangjiang was the imperial envoy, Qi Shan, who was temporarily appointed as the governor of Henan, was the imperial envoy, Zeng Guofan, the Minister of the regiment training, was the imperial envoy, and even Yang San fools were named the imperial envoy.

The strength of the long-haired thief is getting bigger and bigger, and Xiang Rong is also very clear that the complaints reported to the court everywhere are often more than 100,000 or hundreds of thousands. Many of these comments are speculations, but Xiang Rong knows that the number of long-haired thiefs is really increasing in the past two years. When fighting Changsha, there may be only a few thousand elite soldiers, but after Changsha, the number of long-haired thiefs is at least about 30,000 to 50,000.

When the long-haired thieves left the three towns of Wuhan, they were not counted. There were always hundreds of thousands. Although most of them were ordinary people, they could still become long-haired thieves when they picked up swords and guns!

How did Wuchang City be recovered? It was not because Yang San’s fools were killed by the people. Hundreds of thousands of people could only take hundreds of thousands of people to take swords and guns!

With more than 20,000 entries, can elite soldiers have five or six thousand? The rest are all strong shops, people who eat hard food and smoke smoke cigarettes. It is not a big problem to fight a thief with one or two thousand hair, but if there are too many, there is only one way to run away.

Since learning that Anqing has fallen, Xiang Rong has been slowing down. After Jiangning has fallen, this person simply stationed on the spot.

Henan Governor Qishan, after the three towns of Wuhan, has also been known as an imperial envoy, but such an errand was the one he most reluctant to do. Why did he get down on his horse? Isn’t it because he was not strong enough to lead troops in the Boxer Army?

Qishan walked slowly than Xiang Rong. After hearing the news of Jiangning's fall, this person stopped. The so-called first come first, then defeat later, defeat together, defeat together, defeat together, and not defeated! At this time, the two men who led the new army of the court chose to wait and see, but they didn't want to save Jiangning, but they really didn't dare!

Waiting and watching has also become something that many people in the world are doing or going to do. The Taiping Army captured Jiangning and changed Jiangning to Tianjing. After establishing its capital, the 120-mile city walls of Tianjing blocked this flood that could destroy the Qing court that started from Guangxi.

He attacked the city and captured the villages all the way, and finally arrived in Jiangning. The top leaders of the Taiping Army all felt a sigh of relief. The Taiping Army carried hundreds of thousands of refugees and people along the way. There were also 600,000 or 700,000 people in Jiangning City. They killed the ones they deserved, and they were responsible for tribute. Compared with Yong'an, Wuchang, Anqing, and Xindu Tianjing, it was undoubtedly a world of colorful things for Hong Xiuquan.

It's time to enjoy it. Choose beauty to be the queen mother and choose young children to be eunuchs. Overnight the atmosphere of the Taiping Army seemed to change. The time for the army to rest is also the time for the kings to enjoy. The great Jiangning City slowly rose up.

Waiting is also a torment for Yang Meng. He holds an army of more than 100,000 elite troops, but it cannot be used. He can only wait for news of the Taiping Army's invasion in the three towns of Wuhan. Yang Meng is very anxious and irritable these days.

It has been almost a month since he was stationed in Wuchang. The successor Governor Zhang Liangji did not come from Hunan. He is afraid that he is also watching? Waiting to see the movements of the Taiping Army, if the Taiping Army returns to invade the three towns of Wuhan, he will continue to delay his journey. If the Taiping Army shows no signs of invading the three towns of Wuhan, he will take office.

Yu Biao was training the new army, Gu Yayue and Wei Zhiqing were also busy waiting for information. However, Yang Meng stayed in his house and arrived at the place to discuss matters. Yang Meng felt anxious. He was looking forward to the arrival of the Taiping Army, but he did not want to fight the Taiping Army.

The combination of politics and military is very annoying! In order to take into account the general trend, I can only see it now.

There was nowhere to vent her anger, and the women in the back home came at the right time. In the past two days, Yang Meng also lived a good day and night singing day and night, and was anxious. Yang Meng sought a way to vent, and Lian'er was naturally the first one.

Yang Meng was rude and it was hard for a person to withstand it. In order to vent, Yang Meng would occasionally knock a secret medicine, and the women in the back house quickly formed an alliance.

Lian'er and Tang Meiyi are in the same gang, Burina and Ram are in the same gang, Wei Zhiqing and Gu Yayue are in the same gang, and Solang Baima, who is provoking trouble, has become a lonely man and is also the most rude to Solang Baima and Yang Meng. This Tibetan girl is hateful!

She almost provoked the battle in the back house, and could not be beaten or killed, but Yang Meng had tricks to torture her. She had various moves. As long as Yang Meng wanted, she would try them on Solang Baima. The best ones were used on other women. If they were not good, Solang Baima would have to bear it if they had fun.

"Master, news comes from Jiangning."

"explain!"

Regardless of Solang Baima's cry, Yang Meng also listened to the report while working.

"It's a big deal! You'd better take a break and listen!"

Gu Yayue and Wei Zhiqing can freely enter and exit the back house. No matter what Yang Meng is doing, as long as they have military information, they will report it to Yang Meng after they have sorted it out.

"I forgot how she treated you, tell me!"

Gu Yayue is also a person who is willing to work with Solang Baima. Although he will suffer every time with Solang Baima, he is also a shortcut for Gu Yayue to integrate into the back house.

"Thank you sister."

The relationship between the two has been very good during this period. Solang Baima also knows that her husband is intentionally torturing herself, but the boudoir is mostly happy. Although sometimes, she is really shy, it is always thousands of times better than being neglected.

Solang Baima did not forget to be grateful to Gu Yayue. If it weren't for this woman these days, she might not be able to withstand it!

"Master, since the Taiping Army entered Tianjing, Hong Xiuquan has been busy enjoying it, but the people below are still doing things, at least 200,000 troops are under training.

General Yu analyzed that the Taiping Army had three roads to go. The first one was to quickly consolidate the Jiangnan region, occupy the Yangtze River waterway, and then carry out the Northern Expedition based on the Jiangnan region.

The second article is to go directly from the canal to fight the capital while the army was in full swing. The third article is to control Jiangnan and go north from Henan to Zhili to fight the capital.”

After listening to the general information, Yang Meng also searched his memory in his mind, but Yang Meng didn't know much about what happened after the Taiping Army established its capital in Tianjing.

According to Yu Biao's analysis, Yang Meng felt that the most practical thing was to consolidate the territory of Jiangnan. The Taiping Army had conquered a large number of people in the early stage, which was undoubtedly a clever plan, but now it is a foolproof move. One Tianjing cannot support millions of people, and even hundreds of thousands of troops.

If the Taiping Army wants to accomplish things in Tianjing, money and food are indispensable things, especially food. The gold and silver plundered by the Taiping Army may be enough, but food will always be the most important military resources.

"Don't talk about these things, let's talk about the specific situation in Tianjing."

Hong Xiuquan has lived a more luxurious life since Yong'an. In Yang Meng's opinion, Yang Xiuqing is much better than Hong Xiuquan's king. Unfortunately, Feng Yunshan laid a solid foundation for Lao Hong back then, and it was difficult for Yang Xiuqing to replace him!

If the two were smarter, they should immediately consolidate their defense along the Yangtze River. But if the two really did this, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would not be defeated.

Although Gu Yayue only mentioned a little about Hong Xiu's pillow for enjoyment, Yang Meng smelled a different smell.

"There are not many such information. One is that the Taiping Army divided the men's and women's halls in the city of Tianjing, and selected a large group of beautiful women in the tribute court and distributed them to the kings. Then, they also made many young children as eunuchs.

No one survived in the city of Jiangning. The Taiping Army killed Taoist priests and nuns very seriously and destroyed countless temples. It is said that it was to build a Heavenly King's Mansion for Hong Xiuquan!"

When Yang Meng heard about choosing a concubine and choosing a young eunuch, his face was obviously much worse. When he heard that the Taiping Army destroyed the temple and wanted to build the Heavenly King's Mansion for Hong Xiuquan, his bad head couldn't help but wrinkle. To be honest, just the Taiping Army's things, if they demolished the temple and built the Heavenly King's Mansion, they could only destroy good things.

"Is there any famous scenic spot in Tianjing?" (To be continued...)
