Chapter 482 Xianfeng: You sixth brother, I will rebel too! (please order, vote)

The fourth year of Xianfeng, December 25th.

The bitter morning breeze wrapped around the goose feathers and snowed coldly across the head of Fengyang County. On the top of the tall city, a group of Huai army officers and soldiers were all stunned, as if they had seen some peerless scenery. A large flag embroidered with the word "Miao" danced violently in the north wind, like a giant dragon with teeth and claws.

This is the prefecture of Fengyang Prefecture, Anhui Province of the Qing Dynasty. This city wall is of great origin. It is the legacy left by Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty. It was built according to the regulations of the capital. It has been reinforced recently. It is so tall and majestic, as strong as a copper wall. Anyone who sees it will sigh "indestructible"! Since Yang Xiuqing captured the Huainan part of Sizhou, Anhui, Fengyang County has become a key force to resist the Taiping Army's westward advance along the Huai River. Zeng Guofan, who was in charge of military affairs in the Liangjiang River, handed the city over to Miao Peilin, the leader of the Huai Army.

When the Battle of Baoying was in full swing, Miao Peilin made excuses, saying that he would resist the Taiping Army in Sizhou and defend the retreat of Luzhou and Anqing, and he had to be wary of Nianzi in Huaibei, and he would not move his troops. He would take the 18th camp under his command to defend Fengyang County, and he would not want to let him move even if he came, let alone fight side by side with His Majesty Emperor Xianfeng.

But who would have thought that Miao Peilin would not go to find Xianfeng, and "Xianfeng" came to the door today, and brought the Taiping Army to attack Fengyang! At this moment, he was escorted by a team of Taiping Army under Fengyang City, with more than a dozen dejected guys wearing "yellow jackets" beside him.

As soon as the "Xianfeng" opened his mouth, he was an authentic Beijing film. He shouted with a sad face: "Miao Peilin, please listen, I love Xinjueluo Yizhu, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty! Now I have worshipped God and surrendered to heaven. The Qing Dynasty is dead! Don't resist stubbornly, quickly surrender to the East King Jiu thousand years old. The East King is unparalleled and righteous..."

Miao Peilin on the top of the city was shocked! He was still here to do his duty to defend the Qing Dynasty. The Qing Emperor was the first to surrender and brought the Taiping Army to persuade the surrender. What is this? How can I defend this city? How can I be a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty?

Miao Peilin was stunned. When he didn't know how to answer, the group of camp leaders and staff around him had already started to talk about it as if they were in a panic.

"What? The Qing Emperor was caught by Changmao? Is it true or false?"

"It seems... it's true! A few days ago, Lord Yuan and Lord Li's soldiers fled back. I heard that Master Xianfeng was defeated in Baoying and was captured alive by Du Jinchan, a female general of the Nian Army's yellow flag!"

"Du Jinchan? Is it Dajin, the wife of the leader of Zhang Da of the Nian Army?"

"Yes, it's her... The leader of the Zhang Da is going to make a fortune now, at least he has to be named a marquis!"

"Oh, he asked me to join his Nianzi Army back then, why did I..."

"So too! I regret it so much..."

Some people already think that they were following the wrong master, and they were in front of Miao Peilin. Although the voice was not loud, the meaning was obvious. This was a public warning to him to recognize the reality! Now is not the time when he was foolish and loyal to the Qing Dynasty. If Miao Peilin was still obsessed with it, then others would not be as simple as gossiping, and maybe they would be stabbing the knife in the back.

Miao Peilin was clear about his heart and what kind of virtues were all these people under his command. Like Zhang Lexing, they were all small wealthy families in Huaibei. The living environment north of the Huai River in Anhui is very harsh. It is sandwiched between the Yellow River and the Huai River. Either the Yellow River flood or the Huai River floods. If the Yellow River and the Huai River are frozen, it will probably cause a drought.

If you want to survive in such a harsh environment, don’t think about being a compassionate people. You must unite and form an alliance. When the weather is good, you will be a farmer in your heart. Once floods and droughts come, pick up the guys and go to eat other places to eat big farmers. These gathered Huaibei farmers are called "nian", which means "one gang, one gang". Over time, Huaibei has the custom of "living for the people, and when you leave", and this folk custom is so fierce!

Zhang Lexing gathered a large group of Nianzi to fight against the Qing Dynasty and worshipped God, while Miao Peilin led a group of Nianzi Zhongqing to organize a group training. Although their camps were different, in fact, they were all a group of small powerful men gathered together. Zhang Lexing and Miao Peilin and other big leaders had to coax the little powerful men below and take them to drink the delicious food, otherwise these people might draw their swords at any time.

Now, the Taiping Army is at its peak, and Zhang Lexing is in the limelight. If Miao Peilin doesn't change his family and worship God, others might have cut off his head and offered it to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Thinking of this, Miao Peilin sighed and said loudly: "Emperor, I am going to fight to the death, but you surrender first, Your Majesty... Well, if you want your minister to surrender, you have to surrender! Come and open the city gate, welcome peace, and worship God!"

As soon as Miao Peilin surrendered, Yang Xiuqing's road to the westward into the Central Plains was wide open! Moreover, the Qing army in Anqing and Lujiang prefectures were also caught in the enemy's back. As long as "Jin Aduo" runs more, they might all go down, "If the king wants his ministers to surrender, the ministers have to surrender."

Of course, this is not the best thing. The biggest good thing for Yang Xiuqing is that the two leaders of the Nian Army surrendered to him. Next, he can take over all the Nians in Huaibei. With the help of the Nian Army cavalry, Yang Xiuqing's Northern Expedition Army could traverse the Central Plains!

And at about the same time, there was a similar scene outside Haizhou City.

But I saw a group of people wearing yellow jackets surrounded by a lame pockmarked seed. The pockmarked seeds were wearing a "winter crown" on their heads and a black suit. There were three or four thousand soldiers around, and they looked crooked, like a group of shrimps and crab generals who had dispersed. Look at their clothes, they were all kinds of, including the Eight Banners New Army, the Huai, Lu, and Xiang, and some green camp soldiers. They were all covered in dust and were like a group of unlucky people who fled in panic, and were in a very embarrassing situation.

At this time, an old man in a yellow jacket with a loud voice as loud as a bull, stood beside the lame stinging slim horse riding a thin fur, shouting at the top of his voice: "Listen to the city, the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty is here, so why don't you open the city gate quickly to welcome you!"

Hey! Another Emperor of the Qing Dynasty!

This person is Aisin Jueluo Yizhu, also known as Emperor Xianfeng. However, it is different from the fake Fengyang, this person is really Xianfeng.

Thinking about Xianfeng, there were still 20,000 troops to protect him, and another Jin Aduo helped him lead the pursuers away. He successfully escaped from the battlefield north of Baoying City that day. Pingqiao Town, which was storing supplies and food, was surrounded by Taiping cavalry. Xianfeng, who was retreating in panic, dared not fight against the powerful Taiping cavalry. In desperation, he had to bypass Pingqiao Town and go to Huai'an.

This circle of things was a big trouble. He lost the opportunity to retreat into Huai'an City and was taken first by the Taiping Army who rushed directly to Huai'an from Baoying. Xianfeng could only lead his troops and fled along the Huai River downstream of Huai'an, thinking about finding a boat to cross the Huai River.

But the Huai River downstream of Huai'an has been flooding for years, with a sparse population along the coast, and even rarer ships. When the war broke out, those who could run were gone. As soon as Xianfeng's army arrived along the Huai River, they immediately fell into the double dilemma of supply difficulties and crossing the river without boats. There were also pursuers from the Taiping Army behind them, chasing them all the way, like chasing a group of stray dogs.

Fortunately, God opened his eyes and suddenly it started to snow heavily. The Taiping Army retreated back to Huai'an to avoid the cold. This allowed Xianfeng to find ships in Renhe Town, which was almost at the East China Sea, and also grabbed some food. Narenhe Town was originally a place that sells private salt, and it was a bit popular, so it was easy to find a boat.

But by then, the 20,000 troops under Xianfeng's command had already lost more than 70% of them, leaving only less than 4,000 defeated soldiers.

After Renhe crossed the Huai River, Xianfeng took a lot of trouble before he ran to the city of Haizhou. At this time, the one guarding Haizhou was Ma Xinyi's troops of the Huai Army, who were controlled by Zeng Guofan.

Ma Xinyi was standing on the top of the city with his three sworn brothers Zhang Wenxiang, Cao Erhu and Shi Jinbiao, looking outside the city, looking confused and at a loss.

Zhang, Cao and Shi were originally the little powerful men in the nickname, and they took over Ma Xinyi with their brothers and became the main force of the "Shanzi Camp" (Ma Xinyi's "Gushan Mountain". Ma Xinyi's "Shanzi Camp" did not participate in the Battle of Baoying, and the system was still complete. There were about 1,500 people left, barely guarding Haizhou. I originally thought that when the Taiping Army came, they would apply oil to the bottom of their feet and escape, but I never expected that the Taiping Army did not come, but waited for Xianfeng, which was more troublesome than the Taiping Army.

The moment Ma Xinyi saw Xianfeng in the telescope, he cried in his heart: "No, it's a big deal now!"

Now the Tongde Dynasty of the Qing Dynasty was in the Qing Dynasty. As a minister of Emperor Tongde, he encountered a Emperor Xianfeng who was supposed to be captured by the Taiping Army and called him. And looking at the appearance of Xianfeng, he didn't look like he was captured.

"Brother, is that man really Master Xianfeng?" Ma Xinyi's good brother Cao Erhu looked at the pledge brother and asked with confusion.

"Yes!" Ma Xinyi nodded with a wry smile, "It's Xianfeng, what should I do?"

"What should I do? It's naturally loyal to Emperor Tongde!" Zhang Wenxiang immediately took over the conversation and said, "The Qing Dynasty now has a new emperor, and we are all ministers of Emperor Tongde."

"But we can't send Xianfeng's head to Emperor Tongde, are they? They are brothers!" Shi Jinbiao, the younger brother among the "Four Brothers", obviously had a little fantasy about brotherhood.

No mistakes, one song, one post, one content, one reading!

Ma Xinyi sighed and shouted loudly at the top of his voice: "Listen to Master Xianfeng, the lower official is Ma Xinyi, the new Haizhou magistrate. I really can't open the door for you!"

"What?" Zeng Jia Linshu, the old man beside Xianfeng, was furious when he heard this, "What did you say? How dare you not open the door for the emperor?"

"I'm sorry, the Qing Dynasty now has a new emperor!" Ma Xinyi said loudly, "The new emperor issued an order to say that Emperor Xianfeng was captured by Changmao. Changmao recently took Emperor Xianfeng to call the door everywhere, so he ordered all the guards in various places to not give it to him."

"What? What did you say?"

Before Ma Xinyi finished speaking, Xianfeng yelled at the top of his voice: "I am not dead and not captured. Why did they make the eldest prince the emperor?"

"Emperor Xianfeng, you misunderstood that the new emperor is not the eldest prince, he is the original Prince Gong! The year name is Tongde, and the brothers are Tongde!"

When Xianfeng heard this, he was furious: "Oh, you sixth brother, you are planning to usurp the throne, Ma Xinyi, please open the door for me quickly, I will raise troops to attack Yi Xin in Haizhou!"

Ma Xinyi dared not open the door for Xianfeng, but he didn't want to fight with Xianfeng, so he could only bow and say, "Emperor Xianfeng, don't, that's a serious crime of rebellion."

"Rebellion?" Xianfeng was so angry that he laughed, "I just want to rebel from Lao Liu! Sushun, Duanhua, Yuan Bao, Linshu, Tupolev. Siege the city for me!"

"Attack...attack the city?"

"Your Majesty, we are now struggling, I'm afraid..."

The two brothers Sushun and Duanhua were both confused, so how could they dare to attack the city? But if they don’t attack the city, where can their remnants go?

Just when they were at a loss, Zeng Jia Linshu pulled out his waist with a clang and shouted: "I am Zeng Linshu, the father of Zeng Guofan, and I died at the hands of Ma Xinyi today!"

As he spoke, he rushed towards Haizhou City with his waist knife...
