Senggelinqin's surrender is undoubtedly a great thing for the empire. It does not only mean that the Battle of Runing is over early. Without the restraint of Senggelinqin's tens of thousands of cavalry, the Imperial Army can continue to attack northern Henan at least a week in advance. It is almost November now, and all northern provinces will enter a cold winter. Once it snows, it will cause trouble for the Imperial Army's attack. Although the empire has prepared enough wintering objects.

However, fighting in the snow will definitely affect the combat effectiveness of the troops. Originally, the Imperial General Staff only planned to establish a victory before the arrival of winter, but now this step has been achieved ahead of schedule and more than 200,000 troops have been wiped out, including more than 100,000 cavalry. After the Qing Dynasty has been defeated, the Imperial Army will further expand its advantages and wait for the winter to pass. When the spring next year comes, it will launch a decisive attack on the Qing Dynasty.

"Your Majesty, Senggelinqin surrendered to the Empire. We can use these surrendered Mongolian cavalry and the cavalry trained by the Empire itself to form a large-scale cavalry unit." General Niu Meng, chief of staff, said with a smile. For a long time, because there were not enough war horses and cavalry, the cavalry of the Imperial Army was built. Each infantry brigade was equipped with a cavalry company of the brigade to detect the enemy situation. Now there are tens of thousands of Mongolian cavalry at once, and with the cavalry trained by the Imperial Army over the years, it should be enough to form two cavalry troops.

"Well! However, the loyalty of these Mongols remains to be verified. We must obtain their loyalty before forming a cavalry unit!" Long Yufei said. Ensuring the loyalty of these Mongolian cavalry is undoubtedly the first priority. Only in this way can we ensure that the empire controls this unit. Otherwise, even if a powerful cavalry unit is built, it will not only not be used by the empire, but it may become an enemy of the empire, and everything will be in vain. Long Yufei doesn't want to see this scene happening.

"Your Majesty, in addition to this, we also need a large number of war horses. In addition, these Mongolian cavalry use sabers and they need to be trained." said Lieutenant General Sun Hao, Minister of Operations. Due to financial resources, the cavalry of the Qing army basically used cold weapons. The cavalry of the empire focused on using hot weapons. Therefore, after these Mongolian cavalry were mixed with the empire's own cavalry, it took some time to train. In addition, war horses were also a big problem that has always troubled the empire. The empire's current control area does not produce war horses, and the war horses used by the cavalry of the imperial army were all smuggled Mongolian horses. As the empire and the Qing Dynasty started a war.

After that, the smuggling passage was completely cut off. It was impossible to obtain war horses again. Fortunately, the Imperial Army, which marched northwest from Sichuan, has controlled Shaanxi and once again opened up the path to the grassland. It can buy a large number of war horses from the grassland again. Of course, if it can win the support of all Mongolian tribes, the cavalry of the empire will not be short of war horses. On the entire Mongolian grassland, the Mongolian tribes can easily gather millions of war horses, which are enough to form the Imperial Army cavalry. Senggelinqin also has a considerable influence among the Mongolian tribes, and his surrender will help the empire to win over the Mongolian tribes.

"Well! I will tell the Military Intelligence Bureau. Now the Qing army is doomed to fail. I think the Mongolian tribes on the grassland should be able to see the future clearly and make a choice!" Long Yufei said. The empire sent to the grassland to contact the Mongol envoys, but it was not successful. When the battle situation was not clear, the Mongols were still unwilling to make a choice. Now, the situation is completely clear. The Mongols will definitely make a new choice for the future of their tribes. This is the opportunity for the empire.

"Your Majesty, we have now gained a decisive advantage in the Western Front battlefield. The General Staff believes that our other forces can also be dispatched to launch another decisive attack on the Eastern Front battlefield, completely destroying the Qing army and pushing the front to the bank of the Yellow River. Then wait for an opportunity to see if there is a chance to attack Beijing and end the war within this year!" General Niu Meng, chief of staff, said. Although the strategy previously decided was to lay an advantage when winter came, and to destroy the Qing Dynasty in one fell swoop next spring. But now, the situation has changed, and the Imperial Army may be able to destroy the Qing Dynasty in advance. In this case, it will undoubtedly be more beneficial to the Imperial Army.

Long Yufei nodded and said, "If the Qing Dynasty could be destroyed earlier, it would be the best. Let the troops on the Eastern Front launch an attack! Attract the main force of the Qing Dynasty, and then the reserve team we had prepared long ago will be dispatched to log in to Tianjin and attack Beijing. Of course, if the landing battle is launched if the weather allows, if the weather does not allow it, we can only postpone it until next year!"

"Yes, Your Majesty. The General Staff will start preparing immediately!" said General Niu Meng, Chief of Staff. The quick decision of the victory and defeat on the Henan battlefield gave the Imperial Army more opportunities. If there was no accident, perhaps the Imperial Army could solve the Qing Dynasty before the end of this year.

The next day, the Imperial Daily and other official newspapers of the Empire reported a large number of great victory for the Empire in Runing, as well as a appreciation for the wise move of Senggelinqin to surrender to the Empire. They also claimed that the Imperial Army's victory in the Battle of Runing indicates that the Empire had completely gained the upper hand in this war. The Empire was able to completely destroy the Qing Dynasty. The huge victory of the Imperial Army further aroused the enthusiasm of the Imperial people, and people celebrated the victory. Although the Imperial people supported the war against the Qing Dynasty, after the war began, it would inevitably have a certain impact on the lives of the people. Not to mention anything else, almost all the troops ran on the railway from Guangzhou to the north, which had a great impact on the travel of the Imperial people. If the war could end as soon as possible, it would naturally be the best.

The news of Senggelinqin surrendering to the Chinese Empire was still obtained by the Qing Dynasty from the Imperial Daily. After the war began, the Qing Dynasty's ambassadors in Guangzhou had been expelled. However, they still secretly left some intelligence personnel to spy on the news. These intelligence personnel were usually hiding in the British embassy, ​​so the empire had no choice but to deal with them. After seeing the news of Senggelinqin's surrender in the newspaper, the Qing Dynasty's intelligence personnel immediately sent a telegram to Beijing and reported the news to the court. This immediately caused an uproar in the Qing Dynasty.

The intelligence department of the Qing Dynasty was under the supervision of the Chief Military Aircraft Minister Wen Qing. When the intelligence officer reported to Wen Qing, Wen Qing's face suddenly turned pale. Senggelinqin's surrender would inevitably cause the Qing army to collapse on the Henan battlefield. What impact would have at that time be very clear. This would make the Qing army's painstakingly defeat the decisive battle in the Central Plains, and even cause the rapid demise of the Qing Dynasty.

"Come here, prepare a sedan chair and go to the palace immediately. In addition, inform several other military ministers to go to the palace and discuss with everyone if there is an urgent matter!" Wen Qing tried hard to calm down his mood and ordered.

"Yes, sir!" The people below hurriedly went to prepare for it.

When Wen Qing arrived at the Forbidden City, it was already half an hour later. Other military ministers arrived one after another, and even Mu Zhanga and Pan Shien, two people who were often excluded, arrived. Before the Regent Aisin Gioro and Mianyu arrived, the Military Minister and Foreign Minister Sai Shanga saw that Wen Qing's face was a little wrong, so he asked in a low voice.

"Mr. Wen, is something happening?" Although Sai Shanga lowered his voice, the study room was not very big. Even if he spoke in a low voice, others could hear it. Sure enough, several other military ministers were paying close attention to their conversation.

"Let's talk about it when His Highness Regent arrives!" Wen Qing said.

Sai Shanga nodded and stopped asking questions. However, Wen Qing's attitude made him feel a little bad.

Soon, the Regent Aisin Gioro and Mianyu arrived. Several military ministers quickly got up and saluted him. Although Aisin Gioro and Mianyu became the Regent because of their support, the identities and status of both sides are now different. When the emperor did not take power, the Regent was the highest decision-maker of the Qing Dynasty and the masters of these slaves.

"Sir, please sit down! Lord Wen, what happened?" said Regent Aisin Gioro Mianyu.

"Your Highness, I just received the news that our army suffered a crushing defeat in Runing. Senggelinqin has surrendered to the rebels!" Wen Qing said.

"What? How is this possible?" Yu Cheng, Minister of Military Affairs and Minister of War, was the first to object. If he was really defeated, why didn't he, the Minister of War, know about it?

"Sir Wen, where did this news come from?" asked Regent Aisin Gioro Mianyu.

"The rebel bandits have published news of the great victory in their "Imperial Daily"." Wen Qing said.

"Mr. Wen, is this a conspiracy of the rebel bandits? For victory, those rebel bandits can do anything!" said Pan Shien, the Minister of Military Affairs.

At this time, British adviser Lieutenant General Albert arrived. He looked serious and said after seeing everyone: "Gentlemen, tell everyone a bad news. The Qing army failed in the Battle of Runing. The Qing army commander Senggelinqin has led the remaining tens of thousands of cavalry to surrender to the Chinese army!"

"Puff!" After hearing this news, Regent Aisin Gioro Mianyu spurted out blood and fell on the chair in an instant. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better, updated and faster!
