Time is the same for everyone, whether it is the Manchu Qing Dynasty kneeling to foreigners, or Wei Ze understands that he has to start a comprehensive enlightenment education, or Wei Ze's wife Qi Hongyi is dissatisfied with the future imperial power and is attacked by Wei Ze. The years 1859 passed day by day.

The Liberation Society began to experiment with political enlightenment education internally, while the whole army was training and participating in the construction of various industrial projects. Everyone's days are full of life. And only a few people know that Wei Ze is waiting for the opportunity to enter Guangxi.

The time was also ripe, and from September 1859 onwards, the Shi Dakai Division, which had been defeated and retreated into Guangxi, was fully divided. After Shi Dakai retreated to the barren land of Guangxi, his feelings were depressed, and even when his subordinates asked Shi Dakai what he should do in November, Shi Dakai, who couldn't hold his face, said in public the words of "returning to the mountains and forests".

Originally, the subordinates who followed Shi Dakai sought to create a new world, and they ran into walls everywhere in Zhejiang, Fujian, Jiangxi, and Hunan, but they always couldn't open the situation. Traveling thousands of miles all the way, it is not an incomprehensible thing to ask Shi Dakaiben. But the result of the questioning was to force out the sentence "return to the mountains and forests", which completely broke the hearts of the brothers.

A few days after Shi Dakai said "return to the mountains and forests", a Citi army from Guangdong broke away from Shi Dakai's sequence. The leaders of this team are Li Hongzhao, Zheng Qiao, and the pioneer Tan Xing. In 1855, after the great uprising of the Guangdong Tiandihui and the Triads, and the failure of the siege of Guangzhou, this team marched westward into Guangxi, then north into Hunan, and then into Jiangxi. Joined Shi Dakai's battle sequence in Jiangxi.

This army was not originally loyal to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and after being disappointed in Shi Dakai, they chose to stand on their own. It is hoped that independent forces can be established at the local level. They did not go to Guangdong, which Wei Ze occupied, but went to Hunan to fight.

After the troops who were only loyal to themselves and believed that they could carve out a piece of the world in the troubled times broke away one after another in November, the troops who still had a certain loyalty to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to break away from Shi Dakai's troops. Fu Zhongxin and Tan Tiyuan established a new bureaucracy at Shi Dakai that were equivalent to high-ranking officials at the level of prime ministers, and these two troops set out on the road back to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in early December.

Within a month, nearly 30,000 soldiers and horses broke away, which had a great impact on Shi Dakai's department, which was still known as 200,000 soldiers and horses when it entered Guangxi, but only had 120,000 troops in actual strength.

But even so, Shi Dakai did not absorb the lesson. He didn't send troops after the brothers, but he didn't reflect on his actions in the slightest. In addition to sitting in Qingyuan and preparing for the winter. Shi Dakai took out the style he had done when he left, and adopted the practice of not liaising and not cooperating with the other rebel forces that were still fighting in Guangxi.

By January, a force had marched east from White in an attempt to join Shi Dakai's headquarters. The leader of this army is Shi Zhenji, this Shi Dakai's clan relative, who followed Shi Dakai's veteran when Shi Dakai joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with 4,000 clan villagers. But Shi Zhenji and Shi Dakai have contradictions, if it weren't for Shi Zhenji's ability to fight, Shi Dakai was afraid that Shi Zhenji would have been killed a long time ago.

Shi Zhenji began to lead an army to break away from Shi Dakai's control when Shi Dakai attacked Zhejiang, since it was likely to encounter accidents in the team of the Wing King, it was better to separate.

After Shi Dakai was defeated in Fujian and retreated into Jiangxi, Shi Zhenji led his troops from Jiangxi all the way to the west. He did not fight the Qing army in Hunan, but fought all the way back to Guangxi. When Shi Dakai entered Guangxi, Shi Zhenji was attacking Baise and trying to capture the state capital.

If it weren't for the fact that there was really no other way to go, Shi Zhenji would not choose to go to Shi Dakai again. After the failure of the attack on Baise, Shi Zhenji originally wanted to make a detour, but when he passed through Tianzhou, the governor paid tribute and surrendered the horses. According to the military discipline of the Taiping Army, Shi Zhenji said that he would not invade any grass or tree in the locality, and would not arrest a single person. Violators will be beheaded.

The military discipline of the Taiping Army is very strict, and even to such a point, Shi Zhenji himself adheres to the ethics of habit formation. Seven years ago, when the Taiping army went all the way north from Guangxi, no matter what level of officer, those who plundered the people and robbed the money were killed. Strict military discipline also ensured that the Taiping army never suffered resistance from the people.

Shi Zhenji's subordinates have more Hubei people, and more than 1,000 people have been captured in the local area. Shi Zhenji ordered the return of the population, and the ministries released the population, but the local surrendered governor Cen Hong begged Shi Zhenji to release his wife. Shi Zhenji was surprised, after ordering the release of people, there were still people who dared to hide the population? He immediately led people to search in person, and found Cen Hong's wife from the Hubei pioneer officer. According to the military discipline of the Taiping Army, such a serious crime is naturally unforgivable. Shi Zhenji immediately beheaded the head of the Hubei pioneer officer to correct the military law and set an example.

However, at this time, the Taiping Army was no longer the Taiping Army when it was killed in Guangxi, and there was a rumor that "Shizhenji was going to attack the Hubei people" in the Shizhenji army. And the officers from the two lakes connected in tandem, and even made a bloody alliance to kill Shi Zhenji on the grounds that Shi Zhenji was protecting the people of Guangxi. As a last resort, Shi Zhenji led more than 1,000 people from his cronies to break away from the brigade and go to join Shi Dakai first.

Along the way, Shi Zhenji was extremely resentful in his heart. Although the rebellion of the Hubei soldiers made Shi Zhenji heartbroken, they followed Shi Zhenji from Hubei into Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, and then into Jiangxi, went to Hunan, and finally arrived in Guangxi. traveled thousands of miles along the way, but I didn't expect to end up in the end of a war against each other. Shi Dakai, the Wing King, was also extremely annoyed. Shi Dakai had hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, and after entering Guangxi, he attacked everywhere and turned Guangxi upside down. Instead, he retreated in the Qingyuan area, which meant that he did not violate the river water with the well water of the Qing army.

The Qing army was short of troops, and of course it did not dare to make a move against Shi Da now, but the Qing army chose to attack other small forces. Shi Zhenji was attacked by the Qing army without stopping.

Just as I was thinking, there was a sudden noise in front of me. A moment later, a pioneer brother ran back to report, "Someone is calling, big brother!" ”

"Is it the Qing army?" Shi Zhenji hurriedly asked.

"It's not the Qing army, it looks like it's from the Tujia family." The brother in front replied.

Hearing that there was no Qing army, Shi Zhenji finally relieved his heart, and he scolded: "What is there to be afraid of the people of the Tujia family? Rush with your troops! ”

The battle ensued.

On the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth days, the grain and grass in Shizhenji's belt were almost exhausted, but the Tujia troops not only did not break through, but surrounded Shizhenji's troops, which were getting smaller and smaller, near the Red River.

The fierce Guangxi troops are not only Hakka, in the Tujia war in Guangxi, there are naturally heroes like Wei Ze who owe a lot of blood debts to the Tujia, and there are also strong men who have slaughtered Hakka villages. Wei Ze took Wei Changrong to defect to the Taiping Army, but because he killed too many Tujia people, he was besieged by a large number of Tujia warriors hired by the Tujia people at a high price. After Wei Ze escaped from the siege and escaped with his life, he could not return to his hometown, so he could only run.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom left Guangxi with a large number of Hakka heroes, which does not mean that Guangxi has lived in peace since then. Without the Hakka leaders with strong combat effectiveness, the Tujia were able to calmly form regimental training with the support of the imperial court, build fortresses, and then attack the Hakka. What Shi Zhenji encountered was the Tujia group training in the Red River area.

Seeing that the food was about to be eaten, Shi Zhenji had to fight to the death. He led his troops to break through.

The difference in numbers between the two sides is too far, Shi Zhenji's department is only more than 1,000 people, and Tujia Tuanlian has gathered more than 10,000 people. Familiar with the terrain, they blocked the key points with arquebusiers. Even Ishijin Yoshibe, who used a musket gun, didn't have the upper hand in shooting.

Shi Zhenji personally commanded the platoon of guns, and he was very clever and constantly used his shots to provoke the salvo of the superior forces of the Tujia. The smoke of gunpowder gradually filled the battlefield, and this was the moment that Shi Zhenji wanted. If you could open the passage with a fire cap gun, let alone now, it should have been able to be opened five days ago. The Tujia regiment had a strong training force, and in the past five days it tried to break through with the superiority of the fire cap gun, and each time it brought a dozen or dozens of brothers with casualties. The Tujia regiment, which occupied the high ground on the hillside, was more ferocious than the Qing army in the Yangtze River valley, and was not afraid of death.

But when the smoke filled, the arquebus reached its lowest power. At this time, it depends on the hand-to-hand combat skills of Shi Zhenji's department. A shout, "Brothers, follow me!" Shi Zhenji rushed forward with the remaining five hundred or so brothers, and those who could move among the wounded in the rear team also followed forward with crutches. If Shi Zhenji's department could rush out, he would not turn around and pick up the wounded. The wounded who can't keep up with the team have only a dead end.

Feeling the charge of the Taiping army, the Tujia group practitioners in the smoke quarreled, not a wail when they were frightened, but a howl when they instigated a hand-to-hand charge. A moment later, the Tujia Tuanlian on the opposite side also came out from the high place and rushed down the hillside.

Shi Zhenji's heart was relieved, and it was a good thing to be able to fight the enemy with a white knuckle. The guy relies on his ability, killing one is enough, killing two earns one. Thinking of this, Shi Zhenji stepped under his feet and quickened his pace in the white and pungent gunsmoke.

Suddenly, Shi Zhenji felt a sharp pain in his leg, and he subconsciously grabbed it with his hand, but saw that he had grabbed a slender bamboo pole, and a long iron needle was tied to the head of the bamboo pole. This iron needle pierced Shi Zhenji's thigh deeply, and because of the excessive force, it even pierced Shi Zhenji's thigh completely.

Shi Zhenji only felt that the injured place was first in severe pain, then hot, and then the strength in his body seemed to be sucked away by an iron needle pierced, and his knee weakened, and the injured leg knelt on the ground.

Looking at the Tujia group practice rushing down in the smoke behind him, Shi Zhenji knew that his road had come to an end. The past flashed through his mind like a marquee. One of the images is nine years ago, not long after the Kaneda Uprising. The Qing army fought fiercely with the Taiping army. The Taiping army, which lacked long-pole weapons, used the method of tying long iron needles to the heads of bamboo poles to deal with the Qing troops who rushed up. In that battle, this weapon was excellent, and Shi Zhenji used a long bamboo pole to poke at the Qing army that rushed up. In the end, the Taiping army defeated the Qing army!

"Is this the cycle of cause and effect?" Shi Zhenji couldn't help but think.
