Of course, compared to most of the Xichuan army and horses whose morale has collapsed under the internal and external attacks; Xichuan Jidu made Gao Renhou and his dental soldiers undoubtedly existed at the last moment of the battle.
However, the flesh-and-blood body filled and supported by the last bravery and blood, the superb martial arts and sophisticated armor that have been fighting for many years, after all, can't withstand the hot lead and diffuse shots under the roar of the guns;
Those warriors who followed Gao Renhou and fought on the land of Sanchuan, claiming to be able to capture the flag many times, could only use layers of corpses and the blood that gathered to spread the class leading to the last stronghold on the mountain wall.
It’s just that after the stronghold on this ridge that was used as a lookout post was completely blasted, the Taiping Army elected fighters who swarmed in could only find one wearing a black gold among the broken pieces of blood. The big armor is a corpse with a bloody face that is difficult to identify.
However, from the back of the mountain wall, they found several ropes that were laid down from the cliff, extending to the forests of the mountains and forests under the cliff wall of the back mountain. For a while, the life and death of this Xichuan "Human Shuai" turned out to be a mystery.
And just a few hours after the dust settled in Dasanguan, a three thousand army horses, who were also under the banners of "Xichuan Xingying" and "Shuzhong Pioneer Horse Discussing Envoy", also seemed to be pinching. The time is generally late.
However, at this time they saw the fireworks of Sanguan City, with flags representing the Xichuan Army and Sanguan Camp still being planted; however, he did not hesitate to rush to call Guan, and then it was easy. The fishlily entered.
Then, they were greeted warmly by the volley of gunfire from all directions on the city wall and the preset positions in the pass, surrounded by the ubiquitous fighting and shocking ten sides; in an instant, this light and unprepared reinforcement was turned upside down. The upset broke up.
So after dozens of generals, including Zhang Qianyu, the yellow-headed army soldier and horse leader, were killed by the fire at the first time, the remaining Shu soldiers also completely lost their fighting spirit; they were crying. Amidst the clamor from heaven and earth, he abandoned his weapon and begged for mercy.
On the second day, the pioneers who crossed Sanguan and set off again easily took down Chencang County, which was located at the mouth of Sanguan Road/Chencang Road and was obviously negligent. Until this moment, the more than 20,000 Shu troops stationed in Qizhou and all over the southwest of Gyeonggi Province reacted like a sloth after being stung for a long time, and moved quickly.
However, because they were scattered in many places to eat (copy and plunder), they never prevented attacks from the rear of the Shu area; in addition, the elite parts of them had been taken to the city of Chang'an by Wang Jian, the pioneer capital of Jiannan Sanchuan. Help.
Therefore, in the true sense of the group of dragons without a leader, in the process of re-assembling and mobilizing each, it is inevitable that various delays and slowness will occur.
Therefore, in a blink of an eye, the Shu army stationed in Guoxian, Qishan, Yinxian, Yixian, Qiyang, Linyou and other places in Qizhou was almost the Taiping army that was violently attacked at a time when the thunder was too fast to hide. Easily defeat and fall into the present with local advantages;
Then, the surviving Shu troops in southwestern Beijing, who were doing their own work, burying their heads in search and gathering, were shocked. While spontaneously gathering on the martial arts line along the Weishui River, they sent many batches of envoys to Chang'an for help. .
However, this time, the Taiping Army Survival and Ranger squads in the outskirts of Guannei and Gyeonggi became active again; almost all of them attacked and intercepted a number of western aid couriers.
As a result, it was not until the third day after Chen Cang's fall, that the rebuilt Guannei camp and the guarding court in Chang'an City received a report from a small group of messengers who had escaped because of a detour; however, since then, the Nanan Yingcuo County, which faces Wugong across the Weishui River, was reported. It's already sinking.
And with the change of hands in Yucui County, the Luogu crossing-Luoguguan on the middle line of the three roads into Shu, and the Ziwu crossing on the east line – Ziwuguan; also successively exposed to the offensive of the Taiping Army; however, this is only It's just a beginning.
Because, the Taiping Army in Lantian Pass/Lantianyu in the southeast of Gyeonggi also suddenly made a big move towards Lantian City, once again defeated the Qin and Cheng (zhou) defenders responsible for surveillance and siege, and once again went straight down to the city as Mingde Inside the gate, food and equipment supplies and replacement soldiers were transported.
As a result, the confrontation and stalemate that had been kept for most of the spring intermittently were broken again. And along with the Taiping Army's offensive in Shu, Chang'an City set off a panic and panic that collapsed.
—I am the dividing line between north and south —
"The so-called cyclical rate of the rise and fall of the dynasty has its own corresponding realistic signs and reflections. Like the rise of the new dynasty, the political harmony and the rising period, plus the lessons of the previous dynasties are not far away, most people will try to find the problem, and it is enough To solve the problem and avoid repeating the same mistakes;"
"In the mid-term when the dynasty rule is gradually consolidated and the bureaucratic system is stabilized/ossified, the error correction function of the bureaucratic system can still detect problems, but it is more to deal with the problems temporarily at the minimum cost, or to cover them up. Problems to maintain the status quo and vested interests."
"And when the dynasty is heading towards the end of the age, the most obvious sign and manifestation is the habitual ignorance and ignorance of endless problems from top to bottom; The exclusion, persecution and even the elimination of those "dissidents" who dare to put the problem on the surface.
"
"So when problems and contradictions can no longer be concealed and completely intensified, there will naturally be thousands of people who can't bear it, using their feet to vote and smash and overthrow everything from the bottom up..."
And in the Jiangling city in the atmosphere of combat readiness, Zhou Huaian also just finished an open class called "Dynasty Cycle and the Bureaucratic System" in the hall of the large workshop, and walked amidst the sound of worship. Came out.
It was possible that Zhou Huaian, now the king of Chu and the chief governor, still insisted on spending half a day every ten days, and the two special courses of politics and economics were taught publicly. The former mainly includes the governance philosophy of "governance for the government and capital" at the macro level, while the latter is the basic law and common sense of the state's operating system.
This is also the only occasion where Zhou Huai'an has openly carried out policy-based releases and demonstrated attitude orientation. Because no matter how precise and detailed the content is, in the process of uploading and distributing the transfer and implementation, it is inevitable that due to personal positions and attitudes, human factors will cause a multiplicity of deviations;
Therefore, someone needs to make regular comparisons and references for the correct orientation. These theoretically come from all walks of life and the whole world, the auditors regard this course and its follow-up work as an honor, but also the best grassroots feedback contact and potential error correction force in the future.
As the construction of state power has become more and more complete, various large and small matters have become more and more tedious. Therefore, as the master in charge of all this, he also needs to have enough energy and insight to select and distinguish the real key links and points, instead of being overwhelmed by the massive and detailed affairs generated by the bureaucracy. , And even have the tendency and idea of lazy administration and decentralization.
However, this is the beginning of the expansion and self-expansion of the bureaucracy, manifested in the form on the table, as the top and ultimate goal of thousands of officials, "coincident power" and "monarchial power", and even the "eunion party" extended by the monarchy Game and competition among forces such as "foreign relatives" and "honorable".
Since Zhou Huai'an established this relatively advanced and improved regime system on the basis of ancient society, it is impossible to completely avoid similar problems before the productivity reaches a higher level, and he can only try his best to take advantage of the situation. Adjust and mitigate its negative effects.
Zhou Huaian thought about it so slowly, and returned to the back garden of the palace, but saw Cao Hongyao in formal dress and a group of female family members greeted him and shouted:
"Congratulations, Lord,"
"What's wrong again, He Xizhiyou?"
Zhou Huaian couldn't help but be surprised:
"I think it's a good news for the back house, or a good news for being a couple!"
Cao Hongyao, who is the mother, said in a gentle and sincere voice:
"Oh, it's great news for the occasion..."
Zhou Huai settled down and said with joy:
And in an attic in the back garden;
"The sky is pitiful, the sky is pitiful..."
Cui Wanrong, the former dowry maid, was also touching her belly without any signs or signs, and prayed sincerely to God. She was finally pregnant with the blood of King Chu, which also meant that the Cui family, who was on the verge of extinction, received basic protection and the possibility of continuation here.
It's just a little surprising that there is another woman who was pregnant with her almost at the same time, as Luo Zhen, the female companion who had shared the corresponding punishment in private; this made people feel mixed and confused. Is that really necessary
And on the pier outside Jiangling City, as the ship responsible for escorting Tang Xizong arrived, Lin Shenhe, who was travelling with him, also received a message sent back from the siding signal tower along the way, and his expression apologized to his belly more and more protruding. Li's whispered:
"I'm afraid that I'm going to break my promise to the lady. After the wicked thief, Li Maozhen (Song Wentong), after the city fell, he led the remnants and fled into the various Qiangs of the West Mountain. For a while, it will be impossible to pursue..."
"It's okay, you will have a long time in Japan; as long as it is under the rule of the Taiping Army, there will always be a moment of condemnation and hatred:"
Li's smile can be said:
"The slave can't wait to see the two sisters in Lang Jun's house."
Hearing this, Lin Shenhe inevitably got a little big head again; in order to escape the over-enthusiastic friendship between the two, but the one who ran away in private has not been able to explain, now he brought a wife back, just afraid There is going to be a turmoil in the house again.
With his return, the Metropolitan Government also gave him two choices: one is to continue to maintain his current identity, to continue to be active for a period of time as the last prime minister of Li Tang, the country’s subjugation; or to use his current identity. "Die in a sudden illness", and then return to the original life with a new face.
Therefore, he pondered over and over again and chose the first one; because in this way, even if something happened privately, there would be a "big picture" approach to help him out; it would not make private matters too much. Look at that. (End of this chapter)
