Chapter 367: Zhu Hailan

"What's the solution?" Huo Qiu immediately became anxious: "If I cry to the inspection point, I can solve a group of cadres, but it is only a few hundred people." ”

Yun Tian laughed and said: "There are tens of thousands of Taiping troops in Jiangxi, and there are many old brothers in Guangxi and Liangguang, as long as we can pull some of them, we can solve our big problems!" ”

Huo Qiu was already overjoyed when he heard this: "That's right, whether it's an officer or a township official, as long as we can come over, we dare to use it, this is more reliable than the surrendered Qing Demon."

Shi Jingfen's face was a little ugly, but he still put forward his own suggestion: "The old man of the Taiping Army is indeed available, but it is also necessary to grasp the problem of a degree, not too much, and the balance between the thieves in Guangxi and the thieves in the two lakes also needs to be grasped by the overseers!" ”

As soon as he said this, Huo Qiu smiled and said: "What Guangxi thief, Liangguang thief, as long as they are willing to come over, they are their own brothers, I heard that there is now internal strife in Tianjing, presumably there are not a few people in the Jiangxi Taiping Army who are not easy, we will strive for it, as long as we can win over one or two thousand people, we can solve the big problem!" ”

Shi Jingfen knew that there was chaos in Tianjing, but she didn't think so: "Although Hong Yang is in civil strife, how far can it be popular, don't put too much hope in this regard, it would be good if a few hundred people took the initiative to come......"

"A few hundred people is not bad!"

Huo Qiu said repeatedly: "Anyway, we have to fight for it on the side of the Taiping Army, but now it is too far away from Tianjing, and I don't know what the actual situation is......"

Shi Jingfen, as a demoted official, still has a personal position: "Tianjing has Hong Xiuquan presiding over the overall situation, presumably there will be no big mess, it is good to be able to come over with a few hundred people!" ”

But Shi Jingfen's prophecy was obviously miscalculated.

“！” Juton couldn't help frowning: "What's the matter, why is there gunfire in the north?" ”

Now Zhao Jingxian is to adopt the tactics of high ditch and deep fortress to engage in a tug-of-war with the Hong Army, after several battles, although many Tuanyong have lost confidence and withdrawn from this battle, there is still no lack of stubborn Tuanyong who continue to confront the Hongjun.

And because of the accident in Jiaxing Mansion, the speed at which the Rock Brigade came up to support was also slower than expected, so Qu Jie wanted to organize a large-scale model to destroy the defense line built by Zhao Jingxian in one fell swoop.

But just as the Hongjun was about to take a break, there was a dense sound of gunfire from the north, and they didn't know what was going on, so everyone was hesitating, not knowing if this was Zhao Jingxian's conspiracy.

"Whether it's a conspiracy or not, rush up and talk about it!" It was Lin Mengchu who spoke: "Our entire infantry brigade is here, Zhao Jingxian just wants to eat us, and he doesn't have the ability!" ”

As soon as Lin Mengchu said this, Zhu Dun had already made up his mind: "Pull out all the artillery in the regiment and let the troops work harder, Chu Meng, although there are more recruits in your regiment, this is also a godsend opportunity to train the troops, let's go together!" ”

It's just that the officers were a little hesitant, and some officers said: "Brigade Commander Qu hasn't given the order yet!" ”

Juton knew that this was the result of the last battle, and everyone did not have enough confidence in themselves, so he shouted loudly: "I will be responsible for what is responsible, I can give you written orders, fighters are rare!" ”

The attack went more smoothly than expected, and the Qing army that had originally held the defensive line now disappeared for more than half, and the remaining Qing army was also frightened by the artillery fire and the Rainbow army phalanx, which attacked all the way and captured three villages in one go.

And then there was good news, Qu Jie had already led the main force of the brigade to support the operation of the dragon spear regiment, and the gunfire in the north was getting denser and denser, what happened? …,

When Zhu Dun still had questions, he heard that Lin Mengchu had already brought a woman and ran over: "Head Zhu, Head Zhu, looking for you!" ”

Zhu Dun glanced at it, this woman is very handsome, but she is holding a short knife in her hand, shrewd and capable, and she is not an ordinary person at first glance: "Who is the girl?" ”

"I'm Zhu Hailan, ...... in front of the East Palace",

There was a roar of cannon fire in the distance, and Juton didn't hear what she said: "Are you?" ”

"Do you know Zhu Jiumei? That's my sister? Zhu Hailan shouted: "She is by your side!" ”

"Zhu Jiumei?" Zhu Dun had already remembered that there was indeed such a woman by Liu Chang's side, and it was said that she was also a representative sent by Yang Xiuqing: "You are from Tianjing?" ”

"That's right!" Zhu Hailan thrust the knife into the ground and said loudly: "We have more than 400 people entangled by the Qing Demon, please help us and rescue these 400 people!" ”

Juton immediately asked, "What happened to Tianjing?" How did you come to Huzhou? ”

As soon as Zhu Hailan heard this, she began to cry, but she quickly sobered up: "Don't talk about this, this is more than 400 lives, this general, you can't save it!" ”

"Save! Of course save! Jutun had already given the order: "Send a reinforced battalion over to pick up the friendly troops from Tianjing, what happened to Tianjing?" ”

"What happened?" Zhu Hailan suddenly sat on the ground again and began to cry: "Heaven is over, Heaven is over...... The East King is also finished, the people in the East King Mansion are also finished, and the entire Tianjing is killed! ”

There had been sporadic news about the Tianjing Incident reaching Zhu Dun's ears before, but Zhu Dun only thought that this was just a palace political upheaval, and did not expect that the scale of the Tianjing Incident would be so large that it would become an indiscriminate massacre. The Tianjing Incident can be said to have destroyed the core backbone of the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and some people have made statistics that after the Tianjing Incident ended, the entire early princes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were almost completely wiped out.

Like the Eight Kings of Shouyi, except for Hong Xiuquan, there is only one winged king Shi Dakai left, and the Heavenly Fathers of the feudal marquis were almost slaughtered in the Tianjing Incident, and only six are left.

As for the prime minister, inspection point, and command level in Tianjing, it was even more slaughtered, and almost all of the subordinates and backbones belonging to the Dongwang Mansion were destroyed in this incident, and the backbone of the Northern King, the Wing King, and the Yan King also lost most of them.

As a result, there is an exaggerated saying that in the years between the Jintian Incident and the Tianjing Incident, the Heavenly Kingdom lost only more than 5,000 key personnel, and the Tianjing Incident lost more than 20,000 in one breath

It's just that in this time and space, a little change happened, and Zhu Hailan, the old department of the Eastern King, was forced to go south in the midst of waves of slaughter and slaughter in Tianjing City.

Zhu Hailan cried for most of the day before saying: "Our people in the Dongwang Mansion have been killed wave after wave, not only have the Dongwang's sect been killed, so the old ones have been killed, and even those of us who do things have been killed, we know that we can't survive in the city of Tianjing, so we can only rise up and go south!" ”

After Yang Xiuqing's clan relatives were killed, what now belongs to the Dongwang system are some Guozong surnamed Yang who commands troops outside, such as the famous Yang Fuqing, but these people are nominally Guozong, but in fact, the relationship with Yang Xiuqing, the East King, is very weak in blood, and Yang Changmei has become a ray of hope for these old departments of Dongwang.

And Zhu Hailan, because of her sister Zhu Jiumei's relationship in the Hongjun, advocated going south, but the result was that taking advantage of the chaos in people's hearts, the remnants of Yang Xiuqing's old troops broke out of the city one after another and went south to Liu Chang. …,

As he was talking, the gunfire stopped over there, and the infantry of the Dragon Lance Regiment had already received three or four hundred Taiping troops, men and women, old and young, but Judon understood at first sight: "These are all old brothers!" ”

That's right, most of these three or four hundred people are so-called "long-haired thieves", who have had long hair for a long time, some are old brothers from Guangxi, some are old brothers from Lianghu, and some have joined the Taiping Army after entering Jiangnan, but it has been a long time, and their hair is already very long.

On the Hongjun side, most of them have short hair, so the first feeling after the merger of the two troops is: "That's long hair?" ”

"This is the Red Thief?"

And now Qu Jie has also come up, and he personally introduced himself: "Qu Jie, the commander of the First Brigade of the Dragon Lance of the Rainbow Army, has seen you!" ”

And Zhu Hailan is almost the supreme commander of this team: "Zhu Hailan, the former female of the East King Palace, do you have anything to eat?" ”

"Yes!"

Qu Jie also saw clearly, this group of Taiping troops is quite embarrassed now, they rushed from Tianjing to the south in a hurry, went through thousands of mountains and rivers, and they don't know how much they have suffered, their clothes are in tatters, and many people don't even have shoes.

"It's all our own people, we are the team of Liu Chang in front of the palace, our own people, you can rest assured when you come here!" Qu Jie said: "Food, clothing, and use, no problem!" ”

He didn't know that these people who didn't wear shoes didn't lose their shoes, but Yang Xiuqing's basic cadres, all of whom were real old brothers in Guangxi, and they had a tradition of being barefoot.

And after these Taiping troops were picked up by the Hong Army, they were also relieved that they were able to escape from the purgatory of Tianjing Jiancheng, and broke through to Huzhou under the siege of the Qing army, and I don't know how many battles they experienced.

Now that they have finally arrived at their own territory, some of the Taiping soldiers simply lie on the ground and are ready to sleep.

Juton said repeatedly: "Don't sleep yet, don't sleep yet, let's entertain our friends well, and we'll be fine when we get here!" ”

Zhu Hailan saw that the three or four hundred people under his command had been taken out, and he breathed a long sigh of relief, but said loudly: "I will trouble Brigade Commander Qu and Regiment Commander Zhu next!" ”

Now she has figured out that although Qu Jie is only the commander of a brigade, this brigade commander is completely different from the brigade commander of the Taiping Army, the brigade commander of the Taiping Army is only a grassroots officer, with a maximum of 200 people, while Qu Jie, the brigade commander, is enough to command sixty or seventy people.

And Qu Jie said very politely: "Zhu Chengxuan, they are all their own people, just open your mouth if you have anything!" ”

Zhu Hailan immediately said: "We are dividing into units to break through from the city of Tianjing, and there are still many brothers behind who have already come to Huzhou, and please General Qu and General Zhu will take them over without hard work!" ”

"How many are there?"

Zhu Hailan hesitated for a moment, and immediately replied: "When I left the city, there were still five or six thousand people, and now that they are surrounded by the Qing Demon and lost a little, there should be three or four thousand people, right?" ”

Three or four thousand!
