After fighting with Zhu Jinglun to capture Guangzhou two years earlier, Zhang Qianshan was promoted to guerrilla and continued to be stationed in the Nanxiong area. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Until last year, after the Tianjing Change, Shi Dakai, who led his troops to leave Nanjing, first fought in Zhejiang for a while, and then went to Jinglufujian, which was always untenable, and finally laid a piece of territory in Nan'anfu, southern Jiangxi, and divided troops from Nan'an to attack everywhere, and sent 20,000 troops across Meiling to attack Nanxiong.

In this battle, Nanxiong deputy general died in ambush, Zhang Qianshan was fine, led the horse team to retreat, some people said that he escaped, but then he was not only fine, but because of a later robbery camp, repelled Shi Dakai's troops, because of this merit promoted to Nanxiong deputy general, I heard that he can get rid of the crime and promotion, because he gave a very heavy gift to the Guangzhou general.

The general of Guangzhou was not only in charge of the Guangzhou army, but he also had the final say in the promotion of officers in the whole province.

In fact, even if he didn't bother Mukdenne, the Qing court would not dare to remove him, and even if he really escaped, no one could control him, because he had soldiers in his hands.

In short, Zhang Qianshan was extremely lucky, and he was promoted because of misfortune.

His good fortune seems to end there.

Bai Gui not only transferred him to Heshan and other counties, but also discussed with Mukdenne, and decided to temporarily let him act as the chief soldier of Nanshao Town, that is to say, he was promoted again, only because the imperial court could not be contacted, the governor of Liangguang and General Guangdong decided to temporarily let him act, once he established contact with the imperial court, he would definitely let him perform his real duties.

It seems that Zhang Qianshan's relationship is really strong, not only did he give a heavy gift to Mukdenne, but I am afraid that he did not miss Baigui's share, it is estimated that he robbed the camp of the Taiping Army and gained a lot.

Zhang Qianshan, who was promoted, was naturally very happy, the general soldier of Nanshao Town, the full name of the general soldier of Nanshao Lianzhen, in addition to the chief Nanxiong and Shaoguan, there is also a Lianzhou, and the station is in Shaozhou Mansion.

As soon as he was appointed, he came to Guangzhou, and in addition to thanking Bai Gui and Mukdenne, he also held a banquet to celebrate his promotion. The people invited are mainly some military attachés, civil officials such as the governor of Liangguang, it is not very convenient to attend, but Mukdenne, a Manchurian magnate, does not have so many scruples, he attends generously, and the banquet is also very arrogant, the Eight Banners magnates are the most comfortable group of people living in this era, nothing can make them sad, even if there are rumors that Beijing is occupied and the emperor is gone, he still can't sweep his Yaxing.

Zhu Jinglun is accompanied, he hasn't left for the time being, he has to wait for news in Guangzhou.

After the lively entertainment, Zhang Qianshan was already drunk, and everyone else left, but he left Zhu Jinglun, he had to ask Zhu Jinglun to spend the night at home, and at the same time said that if Zhu Jinglun had not called him back to Guangzhou at that time, he would not be where he is today, saying that Zhu Jinglun is his nobleman.

Anyway, Zhu Jinglun has nowhere to go, so he lives happily in Zhang Qianshan's house, otherwise he will have to go to live in a stinky post house.

Soon Zhu Jinglun knew that it was not for nothing that Zhang Qianshan left him, this wine woke up so quickly, and he knocked on the door energetically after a cup of tea.

His purpose is very simple, that is, he wants to inquire about the details of the Tuke weapon fight in Heshan and other counties from Zhu Jinglun, the reason why the government has been silent about the Tuke weapon fight in recent years, in addition to the lack of force intervention, the most realistic reason is still fear, and the two Tuke Tuan Yong who kill the red eye are really not so easy to deal with. Especially the Hakka Tuanyong, it is really notorious, the earliest core of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom is all Hakka, and even the official documents of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom use the Hakka dialect, which is something that everyone knows.

Although Guangdong is different from Guangxi, most of the Hong soldiers rebelled against the Cantonese people, but the officers and soldiers have always had an advantage in dealing with the local people. This is one of the most important reasons why the government slowly leans towards the natives and acquiesces in the natives' siege of the Hakka - fear!

But we must not ignore the fighting of the Turks, there was no strength to intervene before, and now that Zhu Jinglun has temporarily suppressed the fight, then we must not watch the fights happen again, the officials of Guangdong know very well that this is a big hidden danger, and only one reason is enough to make them concerned, that is, the initiation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is closely related to the fighting of the Turks in Guangxi.

A big reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was able to suddenly flood and why so many Hakka people followed Hong Xiuquan was that there was also a Turkish and Hakka weapon fight in Guangxi. After Jiaqing, the contradictions between the Chinese and the land reached a critical point, various rural social problems occurred frequently, and during the Jiaqing years, a large-scale armed struggle broke out in Hunan, when the government still had control, and Jiaqing finally dismissed some officials because of the improper handling of local officials.

In the Daoguang period, there was also a Tuke weapon fight in Guangxi, and at this time, the control of the government had been significantly weakened. In Guangxi, they basically did nothing, and the difference with Guangdong is that in Guangxi's Tuke fighting, the Hakka people have a disadvantage from the beginning, because they can rise to prominence in Guangdong, the first is to have the support of the government, and the second is to have a brave spirit.

However, the place in Guangxi is still relatively remote in this era, the capital of the Cantonese people in Guangxi is a barbarian, the local people are extremely strong, and the Hakka people are comparable in bravery, and even the local barbarians are stronger than the Hakka people, in the case of the neutrality of the government, the Hakka people were jointly suppressed by the local Han people and the Sinicized Zhuang people at the beginning, and a large number of Hakka people were beaten cornered, it happened that Hong Xiuquan was preaching, they joined Hong Xiuquan's organization, and at the beginning became the core force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Therefore, at the beginning of the Taiping Rebellion, the reason why the officers and soldiers were able to defeat overwhelmingly was not unrelated to these Hakka veterans who were trained in the Tuke weapon fight. Especially after entering Hunan and other places, he was invincible in the competition with the local green camp that had been peaceful for a long time.

With the experience of Guangxi, the Guangdong government is actually always paying attention to the development of the Hakka armed fight, and is extremely vigilant about the actions of the Hakka regimental training, so as soon as the local Turen Hong soldiers were suppressed, the most powerful Hakka regiment Yongma was transferred from Longbu to the mainland to fight the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Now the Tuke weapon fight is easy to subside, if it is caused by improper management, it causes repetition, not to mention whether the imperial court will be angry, whether it will remove a few officials, once it triggers an uprising such as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Bai Gui can't eat and walk, so when Zhu Jinglun excuses his soldiers are tired and suggests recruiting village warriors in the local area, Bai Gui is to prevent Zhu Jinglun, and also to transfer a profitable figure to sit in the town, from any point of view, Zhang Qianshan is very agreeable.

"That's the rough picture. Master Zhang must not be careless when he goes. ”

Zhu Jinglun explained to Zhang Qianshan what he knew about the fighting of the Turks, and he had no need to hide it, although this was a pit he picked, but he didn't transfer Zhang Qianshan to it, and no one could see that he picked this pit.

As for why he reminded Zhang Qianshan, because Zhu Jinglun believes that this pit is big enough and deep enough, and whoever goes will have to fall into it, even if Zhu Jinglun stays by himself, he may not be able to gnaw a mouthful of mud.

"Thank you Lord Zhu for your advice, I will definitely be careful in the future."

Zhang Qianshan said that he was indeed a cautious person, as could be seen from the last time he hit the fort.

After waiting for another six or seven days, a shocking news reached Canton, and the news that Beijing had been occupied by the British and French forces was confirmed, and that it had been occupied a month earlier.

After the occupation of Beijing, the provinces were temporarily lost, and now no one knows where the emperor has gone, or even whether the emperor is alive or dead.

I don't know what the intentions of the foreigners are, if the foreigners occupy the city of Beijing and will obediently give it up, it is estimated that the Chinese of this era will not believe it, and as officials in Guangzhou, they will not believe it, they know very well how difficult the process of recovering Guangzhou is.

For a while, there was an endless stream of people who visited Baigui, and all the counties below who received the news also wrote to Baigui. They don't know what to do now, whether to go north to capture the king, or to wait and see the general trend of the world, these all need Bai Gui's ideas.

Zhu Jinglun also ran to see Bai Gui, but behind a group of officials crowded in front of the governor's yamen, he was the first to be invited in.

During this time, everyone was actually paying attention to the situation of the British and French forces going north, and many people probably thought that the end must have ended with the signing of a treaty, in fact, most of the officials in Guangdong had no hope that the imperial court could win. Not only the officials of Guangdong, but also the officials of other provinces also have their own ideas, some of them are the main battle, and some are the main peacemaker. There are also the same from the main battle to the main peace. The most resolute main battles are the Beijing officials in the court who know the least about foreigners, especially a group of young and vigorous imperial historians.

But they didn't expect that what they were waiting for was not another treaty, but the news of the capture of Beijing, the news came from Hong Kong, especially the first time that the foreigners published a newspaper to celebrate, as a Guangdong official, everyone already has a consensus, that is, the news released by the foreigner's government is generally true. So everyone panicked.

When Zhu Jinglun saw Bai Gui, Bai Gui was the only one, and it turned out that he didn't see any officials.

At this time, he very much wanted to hear Zhu Jinglun's opinion.

Especially the truth of the news, even if he already believes eighty percent in his heart, he still needs others to help him confirm it, because this news is too unacceptable.

Bai Gui actually has his own news channel, since October, he has never received news from Beijing, everyone thinks it is very strange, local officials like Bai Gui generally have their own people in the capital, always collect all kinds of dynamics. Even Zeng Guofan was no exception, Zeng Guofan received the news of the fall of Beijing, not through official channels, but through a businessman in Beijing who came to tell him, and obviously that businessman was Zeng Guofan's eyeliner.

got the news from both the foreigner and his own eyeliner, and Bai Gui still needed Zhu Jinglun to help him confirm it, which shows how much this news shocked him.

Because this is the first time that Beijing City has fallen into the hands of the enemy since the Eight Banners entered the customs, no one knows what will happen.

Zhu Jinglun did not hesitate to tell Bai Gui that if it was an official battle report released by foreigners, it would generally be credible.

He had to make Bai Gui believe, and he had to make Bai Gui panic, because he needed to determine a major matter when Bai Gui was the most godless and unassertive.
