Not only could they not count on reinforcements from Shanghai, but with the further expansion of the Hong's offensive in Huzhou, even the remaining water passages were cut off by the Hong's army.

Now in the capital city of Huzhou, you can not only hear the roaring shelling, but also feel the ground shaking after the shelling, that is, the artillery of the Hong Army has finally come up.

In this case, Zhao Jingxian could only gather the important corners of Huzhou Mansion to discuss how to resist the offensive of the Hong Army, and as soon as he opened his mouth, he said: "Brothers, we have been fighting with the red thief for half a month, and now the red thief soldiers are gathered, we have to fight to the death with the red thief for the sake of Wuhu County!" ”

"Well said! You can say that again! Someone immediately praised and said: "Zhao Daotai, you and I have a blood feud with the red thieves, and now we are riding on the back of a tiger, if we don't defeat these red thieves, there is no way to live!" ”

Everyone glanced at this person, and immediately snorted: "Wang Yongyi, you are a Xiushui man who came to our Huzhou Mansion and asked us from Huzhou to resist the Hongjun for you, but there is no door!" ”

The person who spoke was called Wang Yongyi, not from Huzhou, but from Xiushui County, Jiaxing Prefecture, but his industry was in Shengze, Wu County, and he was a wealthy businessman in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Everyone is a native of Huzhou Mansion, and now that the war is unfavorable, there is not much thought of martyrdom with Huzhou Mansion, although there are many old brothers of the Taiping Army among the red thieves outside the city, but the mainstream is the most well-known dragon lance brigade among the red thieves - no, according to the latest battle report, they have changed their name to dragon spear division.

Although the red thief is ruthless, and even has the prestige of Liu Juehu, as long as he is willing to sacrifice the city to surrender, it will naturally be of great benefit

In particular, there are several well-known precedents, such as Gao Liangcai, who is now the prefect of Taizhou, Shi Jingfen who is the prefect of Wenzhou, and even Zhang Yuzao, the prefect of Taizhou, has won a very noble title.

Therefore, someone persuaded: "Zhao Daotai, Huzhou is Huzhou of Huzhou people, who let a Xiushui person come over to point fingers and feet, Huzhou can no longer be defended now, if the war affects the county."

I'm afraid it's just that the lives are ruined, why don't you open the city early, let the Hong army, and treat people without killing the officials......"

"Fart!" Zhao Jingxian was furious: "Pull this nonsense guy out and kill him, kill him!" ”

Over there, Wang Yongyi, as a Jiaxing person, hurriedly stood up to stop him, and he said repeatedly: "Zhao Daotai, hurry up, don't be angry!" Everyone is from Huzhou, why bother to kill for some disputes, I think Huzhou can be defended! ”

"How can Huzhou be defended?" Zhao Jingxian immediately asked, "Do you want to ask Brother Yongyi?" "Zhao

Wang Yongyi was not polite, he stood up, and shouted loudly: "Why Huzhou can be defended, lies in the foreigners, it is now in March, it is the time when the new raw silk tea is listed, the foreigners are the most important to the benefits of silk tea, and the benefits of Zhejiang's "Set Sail for Feiya" Jiang Silk Tea, half in Hujun!" ”

Although this is an exaggeration, Huzhou is indeed the distribution of silk and tea in Zhejiang, you know, during the Taiping War, part of the silk market in Huzhou turned to Shengze, and the Taiping army set up cards in Shengze to collect taxes, and collected hundreds of thousands of silver in taxes in two years.

You must know that only the tax revenue obtained by the Taiping army is definitely greater than the amount of money that is greedy by the township officials, and it is claimed that seven or eight out of ten go into the hands of private people, and two or three out of ten go to the Taiping army, so that a single town can collect such a heavy tax, you can imagine the extent of the silk trade in the entire Huzhou capital. …,

And Wang Yongyi's long sleeves were flicked, and his spirit was flying: "If foreigners can't buy Huzhou's raw silk tea in Shanghai, then they can only sit in the "Set Sail and Feiya" trapped in Shanghai, and there is no capital to transport foreign goods, and the market is naturally depressed. ”

Foreigners don't buy silk, Chinese don't buy cloth, this is the depressed scene of Sino-foreign trade under the economic crisis in the nineteenth century, and Zhao Jingxian also nodded again and again: "That's right, the number of silk tea produced by our Huzhou Mansion is probably not less than 10 million a year, and the foreigners' exports are half of Huzhou's mansion, so naturally they can't sit back and watch Hujun sit trapped, and they will be able to send troops to help!" Now it has been guarded for half a month, as long as it needs to be guarded for a few days, the situation will inevitably change greatly, and foreign soldiers will inevitably come to help, who doesn't understand this truth! ”

Everyone didn't dare to speak, everyone knew that this Zhao Jingxian and Zhao Daotai were extremely murderous, if they refused to attach themselves to him, they would definitely be accused of being a thief, and they would be pulled out and beheaded on the spot, so they could only make promises.

It's just that now that the soldiers are coming to the city, Huzhou's prosperous scene is probably about to be destroyed by Zhao Jingxian, and everyone feels a little chill when they think of this.

This Zhao Jingxian is also from Huzhou, why does he not care about his hometown so much! The rainbow army is like a tide, the original dragon spear division of more than 10,000, and now there are thousands of new Taiping troops, thousands of Panshi brigades, 20,000 strong soldiers will surround the entire Huzhou Mansion, Huzhou Mansion has few soldiers and generals, and there is no foreign aid, and I don't know how many villagers will be killed and injured in this military disaster.

But everyone looked at Wang Yongyi with hatred, what did he do when he came to Huzhou to support Zhao Jingxian? It's not Jiaxing people who died, but Huzhou people!

Over there, Zhao Jingxian turned his trusting eyes to Wang Yongyi: "Hujun City Guard, you have to rely on Brother Shouyi!" ”——～～～

"Well said! Say! Wang Yongyi let out a big word: "I am inseparable from the red thief!" Zhao Daotai, as long as he holds on for a few more days, the situation will definitely change! ”

With the support of Wang Yongyi, Zhao Jingxian's courage has also grown, and he is ready to defend Huzhou, whether it is the 800 soldiers retained by the monk King and Sheng, or the 600 old troops of Deng Shaoliang, as well as the six battalions of Jingzi that he himself has trained, they have all been mobilized.

He even mobilized the people near Huzhou, claiming that there were more than 60 battalions of new bravery, and there were 10,000 thousands of regiments inside and outside the city, which seemed to be enough to fight the Hong army.

Coupled with the foreign guns and cannons he purchased from Shanghai, although the Hong army had more than 20,000 people, it was not an easy task to break through the Huzhou capital city, but in the next two days, the battle between the two sides told everyone that a professional army is a professional army, and it is by no means the enemy of these hastily mobilized soldiers.

Within two days, the Hongjun soldiers marched 30 miles, the momentum was like a bamboo, along the way the regimental training of the brave troops either collapsed, or looked at the wind and left, a small number of people who dared to resist persisted in less than an hour was solved, in just two days, Huzhou soldiers were annihilated at least more than 3,000 people.

Moreover, the Rainbow Army has swept over from all sides, and the important strongholds that were besieged but not attacked in the past are now attacked by the main force, one by one, in fact, as soon as the siege heavy artillery of the Rainbow Army was shot, most of these large and small strongholds surrendered by themselves.

Bad news continued one after another, Zhao Jingxian was also extremely stubborn, he cut off dozens of heads one after another, and went around to save the emergency, whether it was the Huayang key corner in Shanghai, or the Jiangnan camp and the monk Shengbao in Jiangsu, and even the Fuji in Anhui Province and Yuan Jiasan in Lianghuai, all became the objects of his help.

Anyone who said a descending word had been killed by Zhao Jingxian, and some half-hearted military leaders and Huzhou gentlemen were also placed under house arrest by Zhao Jingxian.

"It is difficult for the country to set sail and Feiya, and I am not at odds with the red thief!" Zhao Jingxian said to the cronies beside him: "If I save for one day, then Hu County will save one day, Lake County will save one day, and the southeast half of the wall can be saved for one day, and the country will ...... Well! ”

When he was talking to the fullest, he saw that a red flag had been planted at the head of the flag, and the six camps of Jingzi were in an uproar, shouting loudly: "Huzhou City is broken, Huzhou is broken!" ”

"Damn Wang Yongyi! Jiaxing people just can't be trusted! Zhao Jingxian is an extremely smart person, and he scolded loudly: "I can't wait to slaughter Xiushui County!" ”
