Feng Sixian didn't expect that he and his own officer corps would have such a big difference of opinion on this issue, and almost the entire officer in the conference room stood up and protested to him that he was too soft on Anqing Shi Dakai: "Your Excellency, I think you are too merciful to Shi Dashi, so much so that it affects the entire Anhui war situation!" ”

Shi Dakai now controls Anqing, the most important city in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River, this place can enter Jiangxi, Hubei, and go down to Anhui to Jinling, but now Shi Dakai is under the pressure of the Hong Army, and can only hold the determination to defend it, that is, he does not dare to attack upstream, nor dare to enter the downstream, so he can only trap Anqing.

Since Feng Sixian entered southern Anhui, Shi Dakai in Anqing has maintained a relatively friendly relationship with Feng Sixian, the envoys of the two sides have not been interrupted, and they have cooperated many times, Shi Dakai has obtained a lot of strategic materials from Feng Sixian, and in return, he has also sent troops to cooperate with Feng Sixian's operations.

It's just that Feng Sixian didn't expect that his cooperation with Shi Dakai would actually trigger the cooperation of the entire officer corps: "What do you mean by this?" Shi Dakai is not our enemy! ”

One of the officers put forward his own point of view: "But it's not our own people, and now we can see it very clearly, either the enemy or our own people!" ”

Now that the situation of the entire Anhui battlefield and even the entire Chinese battlefield has become clear, the next will be a decisive battle between the two major forces, so either the enemy or his own people, there is no room for the existence of a third party, Feng Sixian's voice lowered: "However, he is Shi Niangniang's brother......

"Shi Niangniang will support us!" However, these officers refused to give up their views: "We must win a complete victory in the entire Anhui battlefield, and we think that you have made a fatal mistake by a team like Shi Dakai, who has been in contact with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from time to time under the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and is at an important point in Anqing......

"What will you do if I don't agree......"

Feng Sixian wanted to shout out this sentence, but he didn't dare, he didn't expect that he would find such a protest within the Eighth Division, which he thought was the most secure. And in a way, they seem to have a good attitude towards the problem.

Now is the time to decide the outcome of the entire Chinese battlefield, not the time to consider Shi Tinglan's personal emotions, but the time to solve the Anqing problem!

He agrees that the issue in Shi Dakai has become a little stronger: "Tell Shi Dakai that it's not just a matter of Yi Zhi. His troops must be reorganized by the Rainbow Army! ”

Anqing.

One thing to be ironic about is this. This is almost the last big city in this time and space to carry the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and this city, along with several nearby towns, still carries the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, using the most primitive official system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and even carrying out some of the edicts of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

These edicts, the printing of books. Even though the remnants of the Taiping Army led by Hong Xiuquan have been abandoned, the most primitive side of the old Taiping Army is still maintained in this army.

In history, after the expeditionary force of the same Shi Dakai was wiped out, his remnants were still active for several years, except for Li Wencai's department. Almost the last remaining Taiping troops.

It's just that this city with the yellow flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has also come to have to change its banner, and now Shi Dakai, who is wearing a yellow robe, twisted his eyebrows, and he asked Lai Yuxin who was below: "Yuxin, what do you think?" Feng Sixian turned his face faster than he turned a book, he was really not enough friends! ”

Lai Yuxin has always been the number two person in Shi Dakai's small group, not only can he lead the army, but he is also Shi Dakai's mastermind, he immediately said: "I think this is just Feng Sixian's meaning. It's not what His Royal Highness King Yan meant! ”

"What is the difference between Feng Sixian's opinion and Liu Jiehu's opinion!" It was Shi Zhenji who said this, he was the Emperor of the Heavenly Kingdom, although he was nominally Shi Dakai's brother. In fact, it's just a righteous brother with the same surname: "If Liu Jiehu wants to clean us up, we only have one sentence, and that is to fight!" ”

As soon as Shi Zhenji said to fight, the next general, Zhu Yidian, said: "Fight." What to fight, we are trapped on three sides. What's more, King Yan also has a sailor and a steam steamer to help! ”

As soon as he talked about this steam steamer, Shi Zhenji was a little slack: "Then what do you say, do you just hand over the troops and capture them!" ”

He is unwilling to hand over the troops, you must know that although he is nominally Shi Dakai's sworn brother, absolutely obeying Shi Dakai's command, but in fact Shi Dakai can not command his troops at all, he has always been independent from Shi Dakai, and his defeat in history is also related to this, he broke away from Shi Dakai's independent activities, and encountered his subordinates who robbed the wife of the head of the alliance just formed, he rushed over to suppress it, and wanted to cut all the Hubei people who had violated military discipline in front of the battle, and as a result, the Hubei people who accounted for the majority of the troops rebounded violently, It was thought that the old brothers of Liangguang were bullying the brothers of Lianghu, so there was a mutiny.

After a mutiny, Shi Zhenji's original tens of thousands of troops almost all collapsed, and finally Shi Zhenji was captured by a small number of Qing army training arms, which can be said to be a very tragic young general of the heavenly kingdom.

In fact, not only him, but almost the entire generals of the Yidian Expeditionary Group are a tragedy, such an important figure as Lai Yuxin, even in the early stage of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was an extremely important role, but in the end his whereabouts were unknown, no one knew where he died, and why he died, in the Shi Dakai Group such a missing figure abounds, and many characters who suddenly appeared could not find out their early experience.

However, at this time, Shi Dakai's Wing Hall Expeditionary Force still retains the ambition and pride of the beginning of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: "Can't hand, can't hand, can't hand over the troops!" ”

It was Wang Haiyang who spoke, he was only a middle-level officer when he left Tianjing, but now he has become a general who can fight well in the Yidian Army: "If it really doesn't work, let's go back and join the Heavenly King." ”

Historically, Shi Dakai chose a wrong route of marching, he first marched into Fujian and Zhejiang, but first failed to conquer Quzhou, and hastily collected troops from Fujian, and finally decided to return to the old nest in Guangxi, who expected that Guangxi Province could not support the 400,000 troops, hundreds of thousands of troops in Guangxi almost starved, so there were a group of generals such as Tong Ronghai and Zhu Yidian who led 200,000 troops back to North Korea to defect to Hong Xiuquan, Hong Xiuquan, who was in a predicament at that time, was overjoyed, and immediately named this army as "Fuchao Heavenly Army".

Although the combat effectiveness of this Fuchao Heavenly Army is not good, and there are many traitors, there are also many loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven to the end, Wang Haiyang and others even insisted on the last state of Jiaying Prefecture, which can be said to be mixed, so Wang Haiyang proposed to join forces with the Heavenly King, which immediately won the approval of many people.

Shi Dakai was not a person who was good at making decisions, as soon as he heard that so many people agreed, and thought that the Hongjun army had occupied the advantage of the water, and the battle was more defeated and less victorious, he immediately had the heart to send people to Pheasant River to gather his party, but although Lai Yuxin was a second-rate military division, he knew that Pheasant River was the place, and since the Yellow River captured Huai, there was no way to support soldiers there.

"Anqing is such a good place, are you willing to give up? Even if you have to give up, you have to exchange thousands of foreign guns and foreign cannons from King Yan! Lai Yuxin was happy: "In this situation, Anqing is indeed undefendable, but even if King Yan has the advantage of water, if he wants to conquer Anqing Mansion, it is not a matter of time and a half!" ”

"So what do you say?" Shi Dakai shook again: "Do you want to write a letter to my sister-in-law?" ”

This is the meaning of letting Shi Tinglan blow the wind in his ears beside Liu Chang, but Lai Yuxin also disagrees: "Even His Royal Highness King Yan can tolerate you, can Feng Sixian, Huo Qiu and Shi Huiji tolerate you to continue to occupy Anqing Mansion?" Now that you are so trapped in Anqing, it is better to let go of Anqing and take the initiative to go north! ”

On the point of advancing north, Lai Yuxin and Chen Yucheng have the same idea, Feng Sixian has completely occupied the initiative on the battlefield in Anhui, instead of sitting still, it is better to take Kaifeng and then move later, but Wang Haiyang, the rough man, immediately shouted: "Anqing is our foundation, how can we give it to the villain of Liu Jiehu without letting go of a shot!" ”

"Although it is to give up Anqing, it is definitely not to give up anything to Liu Jiehu!" Lai Yuxin has a good calculation: "At least it can allow us to temporarily keep Anqing for a while, and then let Anqing out when we enter Henan, and we should ask for an army from Liu Jiehu." ”

The Rainbow Army is only in the name of two armies so far, although there is a resolution to form the Third Army with the Third Division as the backbone, but after Sun Huzi resigned, Yu Cun, the deputy division commander, could not suppress the situation of the entire Third Division, so the formation of the Third Army is only a paper operation, and now Lai Yuxin is keenly demanding the establishment of an army: "Not only in the name of an army, but also for him to receive a large number of guns and ammunition, we will fight north for them!" ”

"Not handing over the team?" Shi Zhenji is concerned about this: "As long as you don't hand over the team, I agree!" ”

With Shi Zhenji's support, Lai Yuxin was reassured: "We can learn the lessons of the Northern Expedition and run the Central Plains after entering Henan, but the Central Plains is a battleground for soldiers, and if we can't gain a foothold in Henan, we can continue to move westward and strive for all of Shu." ”

Although Lai Yuxin has planned several strategic march routes, either to take Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the east, or to return to Guangdong, or to enter the two lakes, but his ultimate goal has never changed, that is, to strive for the country of abundance, trying to seize Sichuan: "Sichuan rebels are everywhere, and the Qing demon is unable to control the whole of Shu, as long as we enter Bashu, it depends on the legacy, and Henkel's old business is at your fingertips!" ”

Although Lai Yuxin's strategic plan can be said to be full of flaws, now in the eyes of Shi Dakai's military clique, it is as seamless as if it were seamless, and it was immediately applauded by the audience: "Good! ”
