Aspirations for Nation and Beauty: Section 51 Color change

At the same time, in the early morning of November 13, 695 in the mainland calendar, Cangzhou Prefecture, the capital city in the southwest of Yanyun County, was personally led by You Daofang, a master of the Taiping religion, and nearly 100,000 people in the city Under the instigation and planning of thousands of Taiping believers, the poor and landless peasants suddenly rushed to the streets of Fucheng and besieged the city guard. Surprisingly, the garrison stationed in the city at this time was instigated by the secret line of the Taiping Sect to defect. In this defection, three regiment captains loyal to the empire were killed, and the rest surrendered and rebelled.

On November 14th, Tu Yifei, Director of the Interior of Qinghe Mansion in Beiyuan County, said that he had an important matter to discuss. He lured the city guard and the director of administration of Qinghe Mansion to his house, beheaded them, and announced that he would take over the entire Qinghe Mansion. , accepted the leadership of the Taiping Sect, and the police force of the prefecture also announced that they would accept the management and leadership of the Taiping Sect on the same day. Anyone who disobeyed would not be forgiven, and the whole Qinghe Mansion immediately fell into a **** storm.

On November 16, large-scale Taiping Rebellion uprisings took place successively in Anyuan Prefecture, Lulong Prefecture, and Yulin Prefecture, including the capital, in Beiyuan County. The scale of the mansion was unprecedented. The rebel army passed through the town and the market. The guard troops who came to suppress were either collapsed or fled. The situation was appalling.

On November 18th, the city of Anyuanfu fell without any resistance. Before that, three regiments of a division's garrison had been destroyed in the battle. They defected and surrendered, and nearly a thousand imperial officials from Beiyuan County Magistrate Tang Degui surrendered. On the same day, Xiang Qianqiu, the Imperial City Guard of Yulin Prefecture, surrendered to the rapidly advancing Taiping Army Yu Zhiyong. So far, among the five prefectures of Beiyuan County, only Lulong Mansion, which is the most remote in the west, has not yet completely fallen. There, the garrison troops and the Taiping Army fought fiercely, and the battle situation became stalemate.

On November 19th, You Daofang, the great master of the Taiping Sect who arrived in Anyuan City, announced the official establishment of the Taiping Holy Kingdom at the largest Anyuan Square in Anyuan City. The army was officially named the Crusaders, and You Daofang also announced that it would be his duty to save all the suffering people in the empire from suffering, and vowed to let the people of the Holy Kingdom live a happy and fulfilling life. In order to achieve this goal , the decaying rule of the imperial Situ family must first be overthrown.

On that day, the political organization of the Holy Kingdom of Taiping was also established. The holy king had two ministers, civil and military, who were in charge of government affairs, and military affairs in charge of military affairs. Miao Mingkun, You Daofang's second disciple Lan Bailin served as deputy literary minister, Bo Jinchen naturally served as military minister, and Xu Wenzhe, You Daofang's first disciple as deputy. Responsible for administration, finance, internal affairs, economics, foreign affairs and other affairs, the military minister has several generals who are responsible for commanding the crusader army. Since Bo Jinchen is commanding in Kansai, the responsibility of the military minister's office is mainly borne by Xu Wenzhe. He also served as General Anton of the Crusaders, and he controlled the most elite army of 100,000 in the Crusaders. So far, the central government of the Holy Kingdom of Taiping has taken shape.

On November 20th, the Taiping Sect uprising army in Yunzhong Prefecture, another large prefecture in Yanyun County, which is close to Anyuan Prefecture, joined forces with the Crusaders who came from Anyuan Prefecture to conquer Yunzhong Prefecture City. All officials, big and small, of Yunzhong Mansion surrendered.

In the area under its control, the Taiping Holy Kingdom also followed the example of the empire and appointed a large number of local officials to gradually improve the political institutions at all levels. The position, especially the appointment of Xiang Qianqiu, the former imperial city guard of Yulin, as the governor of Yulin Mansion (equivalent to the position of city guard of the empire), caused a lot of controversy in the church, but they were suppressed by You Daofang with his personal prestige. This appointment also caused a sensation in the entire Taiping Sect-controlled area. Some landlords and gentry were secretly thinking about whether the existence and development of the Taiping Holy Kingdom would really replace the empire.

Prior to this, the Kingdom of Poole mobilized almost all the elite troops in the country. A total of 360,000 troops from five regiments pressed the northern border of the empire, forcing the empire's first and second legions and several independent divisions to gather at the northern border Confronting the army of the Kingdom of Poole, small-scale conflicts continued, and there was a tendency to explode.

It wasn't until the Taiping Sect uprising in Beiyuan County and Yanyun territory spread with lightning speed that the commander of the northern military region of the empire realized that it turned out that the Taiping Sect and the Kingdom of Poole had teamed up to play a trick It's a trick, but even though it's a trick, it comes at the price of strength. If the Empire's First and Second Legions and other subordinate troops don't press up quickly, the army of the Kingdom of Poole can break through the empire's border defense line and drive straight down. What will happen then? No one can tell. However, this gave the Taiping Sect great convenience for the rebellion. There is no regular army division stationed in Beiyuan County, and there is only one independent army division stationed in the capital Beipingfu in Yanyun County, so it is completely unable to cope with this day. Changing situation.

And when the Taiping Army completely controlled the entire Beiyuan County, especially the two prefectures of Yulin and Anyuan, the Second Empire Army was actually facing the danger of a pincer attack from the Crusaders and Poole's army. As soon as they took control of the two prefectures, the Second Imperial Army lost its logistical supplies. How could the more than 100,000 imperial troops that were confronting Poole's army maintain it? As a last resort, after learning the exact information about the fall of Anyuan and Yulin and the danger of Yunzhong Mansion, the Second Empire Army quickly moved eastward through Yunzhong Mansion and moved to Beiping Mansion to garrison, completely abandoning Beiyuan County's defense line. As expected, Poole's army did not take advantage of the situation to move south, but moved eastward, continuing to maintain huge military pressure on the empire at the border.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains changed flags in a blink of an eye, and the dark clouds of the Taiping religion suddenly permeated the northern and western regions of the empire. As a result, Heshuo County, which was in the middle of the gap, was affected by this, and the situation in the territory became more and more severe. Many farmers spontaneously They organized to fight against donations and taxes, boycotted labor, and even developed to drive out local officials, kill local bully landlords, and rob local big families. All of these things don't end together. And the response methods adopted by different regions are not the same. Some local officials are worried that conflicts will intensify and even lead to greater disasters, so they adopt propaganda and education methods to calm down the situation; Forceful suppression; or the first type first, if it doesn’t work, then switch to the second type. Officials are all worried that the matter will make a big difference, echoing the Taiping Sect in the south and north, that is the real big thing.

The story of the Taiping Sect's uprising in the north spread throughout the empire within a few days. No matter whether it was in the middle of the country, or in front of or behind the house, whether it was a dignitary or a countryman, they all talked about the north when they met. How bad the situation is, how fearless the rebel army is, and how vulnerable the imperial army is, almost everyone has become a political and military commentator for a while, talking about state affairs without exception, but the worries in their hearts Panic is hard to hide.

The atmosphere in the imperial capital was even more tense. The passers-by walking in the streets and alleys not only walked a lot less than before, but also moved faster, and the clothes wrapped around their bodies were tighter. They came and went in a hurry, and there were heavily armed imperial gendarmes from time to time. Walking past with the Imperial Guards, the shops closed early, and the merchants were particularly concerned about the frontline wars. After all, this is no joke. The closest area controlled by the rebels is less than three hundred miles away from the imperial capital. It seems that they can do it overnight Hit to the imperial capital. People in the city are full of panic. Many rich and noble families are already considering whether to transfer their assets to Jiangnan or Donghai. After all, it is far away from the north and west. If there is any trouble, they can get up and escape immediately. Many people who have relatives in other places also started to contact each other in case of emergency.

In the Qinzheng Palace of the Imperial Palace, Situ Mingyue's complexion, sitting high on the imperial chair, could no longer be described as gloomy. There were many more wrinkles on her bluish cheeks, and her eye circles were slightly dark, obviously due to poor sleep. Only those eyes that were radiant with cold light proved that he was still sane, and the words that were so harsh, sarcasm, and even mixed with one or two foul words just now really couldn't make people believe that they were spoken from the mouth of the emperor in front of him. , but at this moment, all the ministers and princes had already knelt down on the ground, not daring to lift their heads, accepting the scolding from His Majesty the Emperor like hail and rocks.

There was no sound in the hall, except for His Majesty's heavy breathing, which could be clearly heard, there was no more noise. All the ministers were trembling, fearing that His Majesty would be killed if he offended His Majesty. Prior to this, two officials from the General Administration Bureau who were in charge of inspecting the officials of Beiyuan County had been dragged out and beheaded directly, and the Minister of Supervision, Duke Du Wen, who was in charge of official supervision and the eldest brother of the Empress, was also sentenced to fifty scepters on the spot. Going down with ten sticks, I can see that there is less air intake and more air output, but His Majesty still does not allow the imperial doctor to treat him, saying that he will have to be treated in the prison if he wants to be treated. Duke Wen is about to die. Even the empress, who has always been known for her virtue, was scolded mercilessly by His Majesty, and all the ministers felt that this storm was about to blow.

Under the rage, Situ Mingyue barely recovered after issuing several edicts in a row, but none of the ministers dared to raise their heads to take a look. His vicious eyes wandered around the hall, as if to find the next person to relieve his hatred. Today's court ministers came very neatly, and no one was absent. Everyone knew that today's court would be sad, but no one dared to ask for leave, even if they were sick. , and had to go to court with illness.

Seeing that the ministers who were usually eloquent and eloquent, she thought she was kneeling on the ground, and no one dared to look up, Situ Mingyue felt an indescribable boredom and anger surging in her heart, as if she was about to explode When he came out, he felt as if he was being squeezed in his chest, and he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. When he stood up, he felt dizzy for a while, his eyes went dark, and he fell sideways on the side of the imperial chair.

"Father!" "Your Majesty", seeing His Majesty fainted, all the courtiers in the palace were like chickens that had been fried, and they were in a mess, at a loss. It was Lu Wenfu, the Minister of the Interior, who reacted first and ordered the guards to invite him immediately. At the same time, the imperial physician hurriedly ordered someone to send His Majesty the emperor to the palace to rest.

He Zhiqiu walked out of the hall with a group of ministers in a daze. His Majesty the Emperor had already been sent back to the palace. After being noisy for a while, the ministers received a notice from the palace, adjourned the meeting temporarily, and went back to their homes.

Is the sky going to destroy Tanghe? At this moment, He Zhiqiu was at a loss. Although he was kneeling at His Highness just now, he had been thinking about how to deal with the extremely critical situation in front of him, but His Majesty the Emperor actually fell. How can we talk about the deployment of the situation? If time is delayed, the situation may deteriorate, and by then, it may really become unmanageable.

Auspicious people have their own celestial phenomena, maybe His Majesty the Emperor will recover tomorrow? He Zhiqiu can only think so, I hope.

Wufeng was as caught off guard by the sudden change of situation. The accumulation of more than ten years of Taiping Sect was fully released in these short few days. In just eight days, the four prefectures of Beiyuan, except Lulong Mansion, were still resisting. ~IndoMTL.com~ The other four prefectures and the two prefectures to the west of Yanyun County fell into the hands of the Taiping Sect. It can be said that with a flick of a finger, the rule of the empire in most areas in the west and north was wiped out, and the Taiping Sect was replaced. China also made an appearance.

At this time, Wufeng realized that he still underestimated the strength of the Taiping Sect hidden under the water. How deep is the level of collusion between these three parties? And the Taiping Sect organized hundreds of thousands of troops in a few days, which made Wufeng's dismay at the power of religion, and he secretly thought about how to deal with the aggressive situation.

The Lulong Mansion must not fall into the hands of the Taiping Sect. Fortunately, Ling Tianfang and Fielding have already made contact. The fighting power is far from comparable to that of the other prefectures, and the battle is extremely fierce. Although the army of the Taiping Sect is several times larger than that of the Lulong Mansion's garrison, the garrison still insists on withstanding the enemy's attack, although it is very difficult. However, the huge pressure from the Kamanians in the north made Ling Tianfang and Fei Erding, who originally intended to send reinforcements, not dare to act rashly, so they had to seek help from Wufeng, who was far to the south.

Wufeng who heard the news did not have time to verify it. Rescue is like fighting a fire. If there is a slight delay, the fire may burn Lulong Mansion to ashes. The regiment quickly cut through the deep hills between Bonan Longdong and Lulong Mansion, and immediately reinforced Lulong's garrison. The Third Division of the Northwest Army Corps, composed of Gaoyue soldiers, went straight north and passed through the Liupan Mountains through another road.
