Yan King Qin Rigang led the army on October 20 from Jiangning Shence Gate sworn division, along the river to Zhenjiang, in Yanziji encountered the harassment of Zhang Guoliang, although the number of Zhang Guoliang is small, but also dare to fight, a day of fierce battle, beheaded Shi Dakai's own brother, known as the "iron rooster" Shi Xiangzhen, Xiang Rong heard the joy, hurriedly reported to the Xianfeng Emperor.

Zhang Guoliang fought and retreated, and Qin Rigang only marched all the way, connecting Shibu Bridge, Ganjia Lane and other places. The Qing troops in Dongyang, Longtan, Cangtou, Xiashu and Xiangrong, Zhang Guoliang and other Jiangnan camps confronted each other. And the governor of Jiangsu, Gil Hang'a, fought in Gaozi and Wu Ruxiao, the leader of the Taiping army in Zhenjiang, at Yandun Mountain.

Xingzhen was waiting for the emperor's pen and ink in the Yangxin Palace, looking at Emperor Xianfeng proudly looking around on the map, excitedly writing something in the folds of the courtiers from the south, Xingzhen was a little curious, "Your Majesty, what are you writing here?" ”

"Oh, Queen, I looked at the map, there are some strategies to be taken care of by the courtiers on the front line, presumably according to my method, Jiang Ning will be just around the corner!"

Xingzhen secretly glanced at the red pen written in the fold, and was speechless for a while, and the unclear rear pointed out that the ever-changing front was a taboo in the army, and she was about to open her mouth to persuade her, but she thought of something, smiled slightly, and stopped talking.

No one is stupid and knows what to listen to and what not to hear, as long as the excerpt that is reported afterwards is that it is done exactly according to the emperor's will in order to have such an achievement, and this is enough.

Xianfeng remembered one more thing, raised his head and said to Xingzhen: "Queen, I have something I want to ask you about. ”

"The emperor is in charge of everything, why do you need to ask the concubines."

"It's not about foreign courts. It is the matter of the mausoleum of the queen mother, the first emperor originally put the mausoleum of the queen mother and Concubine Lin in the concubine garden together, but now someone is chewing his tongue, "Emperor Xianfeng's eyebrows are twisted together, "I said that I treat my brother badly, and I will treat my adoptive mother again!" It's really annoying, I thought of a way to build a treasure wall outside the queen mother's coffin to show respect, and lift the concubine's tomb as a queen's tomb. What do you see? ”

Xingzhen didn't understand any of this at all. I could only nod hurriedly, "The emperor said very much." ”

The next day, Emperor Xianfeng issued an edict, "In the future, the Empress Dowager will be safe." That is, it is planned to use the Muling Concubine Garden as a mountain mausoleum. But behind the castle of Baocheng. A wall must be built,...... There is also a road to the fence. "Empress Xiaojing is buried in Baocheng, and sixteen concubines are buried outside Baocheng to the middle. The entire concubine garden bed formed the shape of a large garden set of small gardens centered on Empress Xiaojing. This not only does not violate the will of Emperor Daoguang, but also highlights the position of Empress Xiaojing. In order to further show filial piety, Emperor Xianfeng decided to change the green glazed tiles of the original concubine tomb to yellow glazed tiles, add a god kitchen library in front of the mausoleum, and change the concubine garden bed to the back mausoleum - it is for Mu Dongling.

Gaozi, Yandun Mountain.

Gilhang'a's strategy is quite useful, since he arrived at this Yandun Mountain, blocking the Taiping army in Zhenjiang from transporting grain and grass to Tianjing's grain route, the Taiping army defenders in Zhenjiang were in a hurry, and they had attacked this side several times, and their more than 1,000 men and horses were almost defeated several times, but fortunately, Xiang Rong did not care about his own unauthorized actions, and sent another thousand people over, which was able to hold.

Now it's time to divide the victory and defeat, Gil Hang'a looks at the Taiping army marching from the direction of Zhenjiang on the top of Yandun Mountain, and his heart is cold, and the rebel army of Zhenjiang seems to have poured out!

The Taiping army under the mountain immediately launched an attack, but the regiments surrounded Yandun Mountain on all sides, and Liu Cunhou, the prefect of Jiangning, knew a lot about military affairs, standing on the side of Gilhang'a, frightened but forced to calmly admonish: "Lord Patrol Taiwan, this is to annihilate us completely!" ”

"We have blocked the grain route that has been rebelling for so long, if we don't want to annihilate us, how can the whole army set off." Gilhanga said lightly, not in the slightest worry about the current situation.

"The hateful Jiangbei camp actually turned a deaf ear to the situation here!" Liu Cunhou high-fived.

Gilhang'a shook his head, "You can't blame Jiangbei Battalion, now they are besieging Guazhou, and they are also lacking in skills, but it's a pity that the monk king is far away in Henan, and he has earned enough money by relying on these soldiers of ours to harass Jiangning so far," Gilhang'a looked solemn, and the original indifference turned into firmness, "The herald soldiers, now there is no way to retreat, but to fight bravely to kill the enemy!" ”

"Wow!"

Wu Ruxiao, the commander of the Taiping Army's Muyi General System and the Left First Army, looked at the thousands of Qing troops on the mountain, facing some commotion in the face of the army surrounded by his own regiments, the formation gradually became panicked, and nodded with satisfaction, "After the three drums, the whole army attacked, the Qing demon here is just a small addition, we still have to join the Yan King!" Quick! ”

After the three drums, the Taiping army in Zhenjiang swarmed up, the momentum was monstrous, the Qing soldiers on the mountain changed color when they heard it, if there was a way to retreat, it must have been dispersed now, but Wu Ruxiao made up his mind to solve the Qing army of Yandun Mountain that had harassed the grain road for a long time, surrounded on all sides, but aroused the defenders' mortal heart, Gilhanga personally waved the battle flag to boost morale, and the Qing army held for two days, and did not see any decline.

And in Dongyang, Longtan, Cangtou, Xiashu and the Taiping Army Yan King Qin Rigang confronted Xiang Rong's troops have been fighting fiercely for more than a month, and after receiving a rescue letter from Gil Hang'a, Xiang Rong shook his head, "How can there be surplus soldiers to rescue him now!" But he couldn't help it, so he could only send Zhang Guoliang to lead a cavalry to the rescue, which was better than nothing.

On the third day, the Taiping army's charge was more violent, the artillery and muskets took turns to play, and even the personal soldiers guarding the side of Gilhanga were also sent up one by one, except for the gunsmoke, it was the smell of blood, the Qing army slowly couldn't resist, retreated from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, Gilhanga drank three times, waved the battle flag to no avail, Wu Ruxiao looked at the Gilhanga who supervised the battle was very tired - if it weren't for this person, I'm afraid that he would have gone west to join the Yan Wang, and ordered the musket team to snipe and kill this demon first.

Several groups of musketeers rushed up, across a row of Qing troops, snapped, and hit Gilhang'a, a large ball of blood stains on the corner of the Jinji's mouth on Gilhang'a's body slowly flashed away, Liu Cunhou, who was wielding a knife to command, heard the bursts of exclamations behind him, and the brick saw that the corners of Gilhang'a's mouth were covered with blood foam, and slowly fell, Liu Cunhou was shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Lord Futai!" Rushing forward to hold on, the corners of Gilhang'a's mouth slowly coughed up a lot of blood, staining Liu Cunhou's sleeves, Gilhang'a smiled miserably, "Now it's time to fight for the country, Governor Liu, do you know what Gilhang'a means in Manchu?" Without waiting for Liu Cunhou to answer, "It's like a wren, this kind of bird hides when it sees people, and my friends in Beijing laughed at me for being cowardly in the old days, but now who dares to say that I am cowardly!" Gilhang'a's eyes were scattered, "The matter of Yandun Mountain is no longer possible, you can lead the army to break through." After saying that, he let out a long breath, then froze and did not move again.

"Lord Futai!"

On the first day of November in the fourth year of Xianfeng, Jiangsu governor Gil Hang'a led the army to be surrounded by the Taiping army in Yandun Mountain, fighting for three days and nights, personally holding the flag and waving, Wu Ruxiao built camps on all sides and pressed, "guns and cannons hold each other day and night". On the third day of November, Gilhang's middle artillery was killed on the spot, and Liu Cunhou, the prefect of Jiangning, was also killed in the battle to protect the corpse. Emperor Xianfeng was shocked and posthumously presented the governor of Gilhang'a, and gave him the rank of first-class lieutenant of the light car, and he was brave and martyred. A special shrine was built in the place of martyrdom, and a special shrine was also built in Shanghai. Zi Wenyu inherited the hereditary position and gave him a foreign officer. Posthumously presented Liu Cunhou with the post of Captain of the Cavalry, and he was stubborn. (To be continued......)

PS: For the sake of Gilhanga, who sacrificed his life for the country like a wren, let's have a few tickets
