The two good news brought by Xiande are a bit of a toothache for the current Guoxinga. First of all, Zhang Guoliang returned the favor, last time because Zhang Guoliang confiscated the head captured by Guo Xing'a, after coming back, Guo Xing'a sent Zhang Guoliang another ten gold bars, and in return, Zhang Guoliang directly gave Guo Xing'a 850 recruits this time. These recruits are all hungry people recruited by Zhang Guoliang, a group of bachelors who can kill anyone as long as they are fed. Training is a good soldier, but although Guoxinga is not short of food, he no longer has a salary in his hands.

The second good news is even more nonsense, Wang Jun, the wing commander of the Jiangnan battalion who has a good relationship with Xishou, heard that Guoxing'a urgently needed brass for casting artillery, and actually brought 8,000 catties of brass to Guoxing'a. Things are lacking in Guoxing, but there is no money to settle the bill! Wang Jun said that it was given to Guo Xing'a, but if Guo Xing'a really pretended to be confused, Wang Jun would have to turn his face immediately. Although the Jiangnan camp can't be jumped for a few days, even if Wang Jun dies tomorrow, Guo Xing'a has to give the money, otherwise he won't be able to mix in the future, reputation is very important.

Guo Xing'a can't wait to give himself two slaps, how good it should be if these two good things arrive a few days earlier, he either doesn't settle the bill for Big Peter, or brings less money to Rong Hong, and he can follow these two good things. But now there are only one hundred and twenty taels in the purse, and nothing is enough!

"Uncle Sai, spend the one hundred and twenty taels in the account! The people also received it, and the copper was also collected, and the reward for the visitors was a little more, and they said that I had gone on an expedition, and I would make a supplementary report when I came back to thank you! "Guo Xing'a can't escape now.

"Huh! Rest assured! Sezanne gritted his teeth and went out to send the men from both sides.

As for this bad news, it came too timely, and it was Xiande who came from Hechun. In the last battle of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, Guo Xing'a caused a lot of trouble, and the old men in the middle hall of the Military Aircraft Department thought that he disrupted the battle, so he still had to be punished. The specific content has not yet come down, but news has been revealed, and it is estimated that the Guoxing Asuo Department will be transferred out of Jiangnan.

Whether it is to go to the northwest to disrupt bandits, or to suppress the army in Shandong and Henan, there will be no more gains like Guoxing'a in Jiangnan. There are all bandits running around, and they can't even occupy a town, and there is no silver anywhere. Compared to income, being transferred away is indeed bad news. However, Guo Xing'a, who has a golden finger, knows that being transferred away at this time is good news, at least he can avoid the crisis of the rout of the Jiangnan camp.

And development is king, and looting is not the path to sustainable development. Guo Xing'a currently has about 2,000 people under his command, and it is okay to make a small fortune by robbery, but if there are really 10,000 brothers, even food and clothing are a problem. In fact, Guo Xing'a is now unable to make ends meet, and part of the money Rong Hong used to buy equipment was the soldiers' salaries and bonuses embezzled by Guo Xing'a. Unless you can plunder another country, you must have your own territory in order to develop. Whether it is Henan or Northwest, Guo Xinga believes that as long as he has advanced technology in his hands, it is not particularly difficult to make money. Zeng Guofan's territory is actually sparse, but people don't develop well by collecting money.

Relying on the soldiers and the little cash in their hands to send away the deliveries and gifts, Goxinga began to reorganize and produce new weapons. With the addition of the 850 recruits and teaching team sent by Zhang Guoliang, the total number of Guoxing's troops has reached more than 2,700 people.

The first step is to expand the cavalry battalion, baggage company, reconnaissance company, and artillery company that were not involved in the last expansion to 192 people, and the medical platoon to 42 people, and the rest of the people can be organized into two companies and two squads. For the extra people, Goxinga decided to form a new second infantry battalion, with Ji Ying as the battalion commander and Bo Ritu as the chief of staff, which was also a last resort within Guoxing's balance. They are also the two eldest brothers who were born in the world, and their grades are the highest in the Qing army except for Guo Xing'a, and long-term suppression is not a way, Guo Xing'a is reluctant to hand over the old team to them, so he can only balance it with new soldiers. Of course, the chief of staff of Bo Ritu is also in name, Guo Xing Ah is not at ease to put the two together, and the bad breed of Bo Ritu is more relieved to be by his side.

In terms of personnel adjustments, Guo Xing'a was a little surprised, and the two company commanders of the second infantry battalion, Ji Ying, only used one Jin Xi that he brought from his hometown. For another place, Ji Ying opened his mouth to ask for someone from Goxinga, and he wanted Hatan. Guo Xing'a can't play a little, although Ji Ying and Hatan have similar temperaments, and the two are not bad in the noisy place of the cavalry camp, but Guo Xing'a never thought that Ji Ying would ask Hatan. Now is an opportunity for Ji Ying and Bo Ritu to take power and restore, not to mention that they are Mu Shun and Feng Sheng, and they have no less people to install their own people, after all, everyone has selfish intentions. But Ji Ying actually asked for Hatan, and Guo Xinga had to say that Ji Ying was really a hearty man.

The second step is to cast the cannon, after returning from the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, Guo Xing'a has been studying the Weiyuan General Cannon. This kind of mortar cannon in the Kangxi period was not only an advanced weapon in the Kangxi period, but also extremely sharp in the Xianfeng period. It is no wonder that many people in later generations almost blew Dai Zi into the sky, this guy is indeed a rare weapon genius in China. Of course, Guo Xing'a had to carry out a transformation, although there were not many places that could be changed under the constraints of technical conditions, he still incorporated some mortar elements into General Weiyuan's artillery. The weight of the gun body was reduced, and the four-wheeled gun carriage was changed to a two-wheeled adjustable stand.

The sample cannon was made in the third year of junior high school, but because of the lack of brass, it has not been mass-produced. This time, I got the 8,000 catties of brass sent by Wang Jun, and all the problems were solved. This kind of treasure, which can fire 32 pounds of explosive shells and grenade shells, with a range of up to three miles, has produced a total of 20 guns, including cavalry, each company is equipped with one, and the artillery company is equipped with ten. The infantry support firepower of the Qing army has been greatly improved.

Saishana and Jiying stayed behind with the new barracks and teaching team, and Goxinga went out with all his main forces for the first time. The team of more than 2,000 people finally had a sense of grandeur, and Guo Xing'a, who was sitting on the horse, pointed at Wuhu again.

There is actually a profound reason why Guoxing's subordinates were able to wantonly plunder the rear of the Taiping army, but the Taiping army had nothing to do with him. The combat power of the Guoxing Asuo is extremely strong, which is simply incomparable with other troops, and the other Qing troops and the Taiping army can only fight one-on-one, while the Guoxinga Suobu can be one-to-five, or even one-to-ten. Unless the Taiping army gathers tens of thousands of troops, it will only be able to send a few heads if it fights against Guoxing at a time.

If other Qing troops attacked and harassed the Taiping army, the first thing to consider was the problem of grain routes, and they could not capture the key points of Tongqu, and the Qing army could not supply deep behind the enemy, so of course they would stop cooking. However, the attack on everything allowed the Guoxing Asuo Department to calmly feed the war with war, without worrying about the problem of food and grass, and without the need for rear supplies, and could bypass the heavy defense of the Taiping army at will, and wander around the rear of the Taiping army at will.

The Taiping Army, faced with the pressure of the Qing army in the Jiangnan camp, could not draw a large number of troops for Guoxing'a, and the Wuhu area of Guoxing'a for a long time was a typical case. Wuhu is stationed in the main force of Li Shixian of the Taiping Army, and Guo Xing'a has been dangling under his nose, but Li Shixian really doesn't dare to teach Guo Xing'a a lesson regardless of it. Because as long as Li Shixian in Wuhu moved, the Qing army in the Jiangnan camp would immediately stab him in the back, and Li Shixian could not afford the disastrous consequences of losing Wuhu.

Goxinga absorbed various ideas of guerrilla warfare in the 20th century, which was the main reason why he was able to succeed like a fish in water. Whether it is the Qing army or the Taiping army, they are still adapting to * combat, and they have just had an idea of tactical tactics. Goxinga's concept of sports warfare and guerrilla warfare was seventy or eighty years ahead of them, and the Taiping army was certainly powerless to parry.

Guoxing'a, which is beyond the reach of capable people, has opened the berserk mode, and Tubaqi has completely entered the harvest season. The main force of the Taiping army was nailed to death by the Jiangnan camp and did not dare to move, and Guo Xing'a could make trouble in the heavenly palace as he wanted. The inland Taiping Army, which was dominated by cold weapons, was almost powerless in the face of Guoxing'a, whose equipment was not inferior to that of the British and French coalition forces. Knowing that this was the last trip to southern Anhui, Guo Xing'a was thinking about saving some overnight food for the future, and he was even more eager to move everything away. In half a month, Guoxing'a swept through southern Anhui, successively conquered Fanchang, Nanling, Jingxian, Shitai, Jingde and other counties, and once took advantage of the night to attack Chizhou Mansion, although Chizhou was not occupied, but Chizhou's treasury was almost emptied by Guoxing'a. Li Shixian, who hated the crazy, almost went out to find Guo Xing'a in person, but Huang Chengzhong and Fan Ruzeng persuaded him for a long time before stopping him. In the end, Li Shixian, who was helpless, could only order the fortified walls and clear the fields in various places to be strictly guarded, and if he couldn't hold on, let the city go, and try to preserve the vitality.

Li Xiucheng, who was alone in Nanjing, also got information from Wuhu. He had fought with Goxinga's troops, and knew that unless a large army was dispatched, it would indeed be a meaningless sacrifice to deal with Goxinga in a small fight. But the king didn't know that Hong Xiuquan had already issued an edict and reprimanded him several times, and Li Xiucheng took care of it. Li Xiucheng is not for his cousin, even if it is another person, he will take care of it, because Wuhu is doing the right thing. The Heavenly King doesn't understand military affairs at all, and for the sake of the future of the Heavenly Kingdom, Li Xiucheng must take care of it.

Li Xiucheng now has no time to deal with Guoxing'a, and the sudden emergence of Guoxing'a is actually not a threat, jumping up and down is just to loot property, and the impact on the overall situation is still not great. In the overall situation of the war in the kingdom of heaven, Guo Xing'a is just a somewhat noisy monkey, and he can be left to his own devices. What really worries him is He Chun and Zhang Guoliang outside Nanjing, as well as Hong Xiuquan, who relies on everything in Nanjing.

During Li Xiucheng's hard stay in Pukou, his life was relatively difficult, and there was nothing he did not lack in food, salary, and weapons. And after Chen Yucheng left, there was no reinforcement from a single soldier. A group of bastards in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the slightly better Hong Renji is too junior and unpractical. Hong Xiuquan has become a religious madman, he is his God father when he opens and closes his mouth, he doesn't care about the government at all, everything depends on heaven, and the burden of 10,000 catties is on Li Xiucheng's shoulders alone. And in such an environment, Hong Xiuquan still didn't trust Li Xiucheng, and ordered the Yangtze River to be blocked, preventing Li Xiucheng from crossing the river into the city with a single soldier, and also detaining Li Xiucheng's wife and mother.

After the battle of the Dragon and Tiger Battalion, Liuhe was lost, and the situation was extremely unfavorable for the Taiping Army. After Li Xiucheng thought it through, he entered Nanjing alone and presented his plan to Hong Xiuquan. But his plan to turn things around in one fell swoop, in exchange for the answer he never expected, he was actually scolded by Hong Xiuquan. After a long period of confusion, Li Xiucheng understood the meaning of God's second son, everything has its own providence, what are you tossing blindly.

The tenacious Li Xiucheng went home to prepare for two more days, and then had a big debate with Hong Xiuquan on the Golden Palace. Li Xiucheng counted the positions and conditions of the various units of the Taiping Army, reported the situation of the Qing army, pointed out the critical situation, and then once again put forward his own plan to attack the camp in the south of the Yangtze River. Hong Xiuquan was furious in court, scolded Li Xiucheng again, and gave the highest instruction, everything has its own providence, and his God father will help.

Li Xiucheng, who was helpless, could only ask Hong Renji's door to seek a way to relieve the siege of Nanjing. And at this time, in a small town near Wuhu, a cycle of cause and effect came to an end. The biggest variable in Li Xiucheng's plan, Guo Xing'a, will no longer disrupt Li Xiucheng's deployment, and after ten days, Guo Xing'a will leave Jiangnan with his plump bags.
