Huang Wenjin didn't expect Sun Huzi to look such a reckless man, but he also had such great ambitions, he asked: "Old Sun, you really have a hand!" I knew that we would work together to do a big game, and when I returned to my hometown in Guangxi, I invited you to eat my home-brewed old wine, which I buried with my own hands before the uprising! ”

Lin Song on the side was skeptical, he said: "Overseer, your idea is very good, and your ambition is also very broad, but we don't have to think about such a wide range of issues, now we only occupy most of eastern Fujian, northern Fujian, and western Fujian, not to mention killing Wuling, it is estimated that it will take a long time to level the whole of Fujian!" ”

This is the truth, this Fuzhou battle finally made the main force of the Qing army and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, the governor of Fujian, the political envoy of Fujian and other important personnel in the city run out, and they quickly retreated south and reorganized

Although Fujian is a coastal terrain, it is not suitable for large troops to deploy, not to mention that there are still a large number of gray miscellaneous armed forces in the area occupied by the Hongjun, and even a small number of Qing troops are still active.

Therefore, according to Lin Song's idea, if there is no large number of reinforcements into Fujian, it will take at least six months to occupy all of Fujian with the existing strength of the Hong Army in Fujian, and it will take at least three months to settle down in Fujian, which is still based on the condition that the second Shi Yunqing is not born.

However, Sun Huzi has his own thoughts: "Guan Jian is team should be pure, and they all say how good the old third battalion is, but when the camp was first formed, you don't know, I know best, our rock battalion is almost all half-hearted green battalion soldiers, ready to run at any time, but now see which of them is not loyal to His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

He came to a conclusion: "The key is that the cadres must train the political workers to keep up, and among the various units of our Rainbow Army, the political workers in our Fujian region are the weakest, and the cadres are the weakest, so I am ready to fight while reorganizing the army......

Regarding the consequences of this army reorganization, Lin Song and Qu Zhibin did not expect it, and even Sun Lixing did not expect the final result.

"The War History of the Fujian Military Region" summed up this army reorganization in official language: "Under the supervision of Sun Lixing's supervising army, all units stationed in Fujian carried out the first vigorous army reorganization, and this time the army rectification eliminated the bad influence of Shi Yunqing's traitor group, and introduced a large number of new cadres who were young and strong and loyal to the Hong Army, which greatly boosted the morale of our army and built the Hong Army stationed in Fujian into the most effective unit of His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

The official war history of the Third Division, "Solid as a Rock", loudly praised their cooperation with Sun Lixing in this regard: "While carrying out the Jiangnan Campaign, we assisted the commander of the army, General Sun Lixing, who was the overseer of Fujian at the time, in the reorganization of the Fujian army. ★ ”

A few years later, the personnel department of the army summed up: "The reorganization of the army in Fujian is a glorious stroke in the history of our army, which has created solid conditions for building a solid and reliable army, but there are also some sequelae, such as the identification of 143 cadres at that time as Shi Yunqing's dead party and the remnants of the Red Turban Army, and all of them were removed from the army and transferred back to their hometowns. In addition, 210 cadres of the Red Turban Army were transferred to posts in Jiangsu, and all of them were demoted to one level, and now these cadres are strongly dissatisfied with this and demand that their original benefits be restored.

The reaction of the parties concerned was even stronger, and many parties who actively or passively participated in the Shi Yunqing Revolution appealed one after another: "We are a group of veteran cadres and veterans of the former Fujian First Independent Brigade and the Fujian Second Independent Battalion, most of whom were veterans who joined the army in 1855 and 1856, and a considerable number of them were veterans who participated in the initial establishment of the Hongjun Army in the Wenzhou and Taizhou periods. …,

However, the main leaders of the Fujian Military Region ignored the facts and replied to the cadres and soldiers who were forced to join the rebel army without information. ★ Not only did some of the veteran cadres who had previously held positions in battalions, companies, and platoons re-emerge as soldiers, but their military ranks were also recounted from 1 July 1557.

In the past few years, we have silently made all the dedication to His Majesty the Emperor and the country, but with the passage of time, compared with other comrades-in-arms who joined the army in the same period, the treatment has become bigger and bigger, such as Lieutenant Ding Xiaoshun, thirteen comrades-in-arms who enlisted in the army at the same time and place with him, today there have been people who have been promoted to major generals, most of them are colonels and lieutenant colonels, only a few people are minors, only he himself only has the treatment of lieutenants, as for the salary is even worse, according to our survey, compared with the comrades-in-arms who enlisted in the army at the same time, The difference in pay is at least 70 percent, and in some cases as much as three or four times.

In view of our loyalty and reliability in the past years, we strongly demand that the erroneous practices of the Fujian Military Region be corrected, that our military status be counted from the time of actual enlistment, that our comrades-in-arms who have already met the age limit be promoted normally, and that they should enjoy all the benefits of veteran cadres in the early days of the Hongjun Army. ”

For example, General Yun Tianzong's private conversation bluntly stated: "Although Fujian has made great achievements in reorganizing the army, it has also hurt some cadres, and more than 1,000 cadres and fighters have been directly affected, of which hundreds have either been transferred to local work or have been transferred to their hometowns, and some cadres have been transferred to Jiangsu for demotion and use, while cadres transferred from the Third Division to Fujian have been promoted and used, causing a rather bad impact. There were even serious consequences of the flight of a large number of cadres and fighters, and XX of them became shameful traitors, which caused considerable obstacles to our army's next move in Fujian. ”

But even the most resolute opposition, even historians like Wu Hongchuan, have to admit: "Although Sun Lixing's so-called Fujian army rectification was in fact a real purge, through such a violent purge, the Fujian bandit army completely eliminated the influence of Qu Zhenhan, the old Red Turban Army, Shi Yunqing, and other real anti-Manchu uprising forces, and became the lackey of the Liu thief, which has since created a huge disaster for the people of China and the world, and its serious consequences have been affected to this day, and Sun Lixing must repay this blood debt." ”

But at this moment, Liu Chang didn't know that the next whole army action that swept the entire Hong Army had started in Fujian, and Sun Lixing's report was still on the way from Fujian to Wenzhou, even if this report arrived in Wenzhou, it would still take a few hours to send it from Wenzhou to Hangzhou, and such a report, Liu Chang would see it at least the next day.

After all, military action is the first place now, and the army's training can only be in a secondary position, but Liu Chang is a little idle today.

Whether it was entering Hunan and Anhui, or besieging Jinling, or capturing Fuzhou, or landing in Yangzhou, the Hong Army made unexpected progress, and even Liu Chang's most optimistic estimate was much better.

The progress of southern Anhui is completely out of Liu Chang's expectations, originally in the estimation of the Rainbow Army's combat department, there are many Qing troops in southern Anhui, and it will take at least three months to solve the entire southern Anhui, but the battle has only been more than half a month ago, and the entire southern Anhui has been captured by the rainbow army two-thirds, and the remaining few states and counties are also under siege by the rainbow army, and the fruits of victory can be picked at any time. …,

The victory in the direction of Tianjing was even more unexpected, no one expected that the Jiangnan battalion would go without a fight, directly cross to the north, and even retreat directly to Xuzhou without even defending Yangzhou, while the battle on the periphery of Jinling presented a polarizing scene.

The Taiping army loves and hates the Hongjun army, which has a blood relationship with itself, and some of the Taiping army will surrender to the whole army as soon as they encounter the Hongjun, and sometimes the officers and commanders who lead the team are unwilling to surrender to Chengcheng, and the following generals will directly launch an uprising, and some soldiers will not want to surrender, and the officers are also willing to abandon the troops and flee alone.

However, some troops fought against the Rainbow Army to the end, and sometimes the troops suffered two-thirds of the casualties and were still resisting, and the Rainbow Army was considered to be the most tenacious enemy encountered since the Battle of Shanghai, and there were even some ★ fanatical believers who worshipped God and worshiped God who wanted to die with the Rainbow Army.

For such a team, the Hongjun side is also respectful and loving, admiring the tenacity, loyalty and fighting spirit of others, but also knowing that this is the most hopeless group of religious madmen in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, fortunately, there are not many such madman troops, but the closer they get to Jinling City, the more such madmen there are.

On the whole, although the fighting has been repeated and the troops have suffered casualties, they are still under control, and Jin Peilun, Yu Cun and others on the front line said: "It will take one to two weeks to recover Nanjing!" ”

Therefore, Liu Chang also had free time to accompany his baby daughter, but Ye Niangzi didn't give him a good look: "Husband, don't come to make trouble, I want to take two children!" ”

Now this pair of baby daughters are really crying and making trouble, so that Ye Niangzi can't be busy, Liu Chang usually has few children, but now he is even more in a hurry, and he can't even change diapers.

Liu Chang could only tease his daughter and said: "Yudie, why do you bother to make trouble for yourself, there are obviously so many wet nurses and maids, but you have to be stubborn, and you have to take two children alone!" ”

"I don't want my child to be called another woman's mother!" Ye Niangzi said something else: "I heard that Ning Bing performed well in Yangzhou? ”。 ）
