Two days later, Du Wuxiu led more than 1,000 people under his command to rush to the outside of Kunming on horseback and surrendered to Feng Yunshan in person. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Feng Yunshan was overjoyed and sent Li Kaifang and Wang Min out of the city to Mianshan, a few miles west of the city, to greet him on his behalf. He waited in front of the palace of the Yungui Governor in Kunming City to come and pay a visit. It's not that he's holding the shelf, but it's in this position, there's no way, if he is too enthusiastic to step forward, it will make his subordinates look down on him.

On the other hand, the leaders of the rebel army were inspected before entering the city, and they were not allowed to carry weapons before entering the city. Feng Yunshan is out of the city, and there is also a great risk in terms of safety.

Wearing a white turban, a scholar who looked like a descendant, led hundreds of people, and came to the governor's palace under the attention of thousands of soldiers and soldiers. It was Du Wuxiu, the leader of the Dali Righteous Army and the self-proclaimed marshal.

Looking at this descendant, Feng Yunshan got up to greet him: "Brother Du understands the righteousness, submits to the Holy Country, and avoids war, this king thanks you on behalf of many soldiers of the Holy Kingdom!" You and your brothers are welcome to join us! ”

"Wu Xiu greets His Royal Highness the Holy King!" Du Wuxiu stepped forward and bowed to the ground, and more than 100 generals behind him also bowed down together, shouting: "I'll wait to meet His Royal Highness the Holy King." I am willing to follow Marshal Du to submit to the Holy Kingdom, and I hope that the Holy King will be gracious! ”

"Good, good! This king is approved! Feng Yunshan laughed, stepped forward and helped Du Wuxiu with his own hands: "Brothers, rest assured, the Holy Kingdom is like a big family, here, the people of all ethnic groups are equal. In the future, we will all enjoy the peace and tranquility of the world together. ”

Then Feng Yunshan appointed Du Wuxiu as the director of Yunan Medical Education Bureau, responsible for Yunan's medical care and education.

Most of the rest of the leaders of the rebel army were willing to lead some of their capable subordinates to join the captive army, so Feng Yunshan broke them up, and the leaders of several major roads were appointed as the regiment commanders.

A total of 16 regiments were formed, including 2 artillery regiments and 2 engineer regiments, and the B11th and B12th divisions of the field army were newly established. Two infantry regiments were transferred from the 2nd and 6th Divisions to supplement the newly established 11th and 12th Divisions as the main force, and the 2nd and 6th Divisions were supplemented by four infantry regiments in the Righteous Army.

In this way, there were 20,000 more field troops at once, and although the weapons were still all swords, spears, birds, etc., they were complete after all. In addition, among the 20,000 Qing troops who surrendered in Kunming, 10,000 elite soldiers were selected and trained by Li Kaifang in Chenggong County, outside Kunming, to form the 13th Division.

These three second-class divisions were all equipped with the weapons of the Qing army, and for a while, they were also decent and murderous.

This is not counting, the 100,000 righteous troops in western Yunnan, in addition to the selection of 20,000 to be charged into the field army of the second division, there are also 20,000 strong, Feng Yunshan asked Li Kaifang to send people to command them, form four brigades, and become the local garrison of the Yunnan Military Region.

The original B17th Brigade became the first brigade of the Yunnan Military Region, numbered as the 601st Brigade of the Chinese Capture Army. Since Yunnan is the sixth province occupied by the Taiping Holy Kingdom, the other four brigades are the 602nd Brigade to the 605th Brigade of the Chinese Capture Army.

After dealing with these matters, Feng Yunshan asked the newly appointed Yunan Provincial Special Envoy Sang Chunrong and others to settle Du Wuxiu and the others.

At this time, two heralds from the herald company of the division headquarters of the 6th Division of the 6th Division rushed to report on fast horses, saying that the five regiments of the 6th Division had conquered the city of Chuxiong Mansion under the leadership of the division commander Luo Qiongshu.

Because Luo Qiongshu sent people to surround the north of Chuxiong in advance, Wen Xiang, the governor of Yunan, did not wait for the captive army to attack the city, so he took the gate from the south of the city, and fled to Tengyue Hall through Shunning Mansion, preparing to meet with the Qing army in Tengyue Town and discuss the way out.

It turned out that the general soldiers of Tengyue Town were the same as Wen Xiang, the governor of Yunan, who was a member of the Red Banner of Manchuria, and Wen Xiang, the governor of Yunan, saw that he led few soldiers and lacked horses, so it was difficult to escape back to Siqi, so he did the opposite and led 3,000 Qing troops to flee south.

Sure enough, Luo Qiongshu did not expect that the Qing army would not flee from southern Yunnan, but fled to the southwestern border of Yunnan. Anyway, the city of Chuxiong Mansion was occupied. Therefore, he sent people to report to the Holy King, and at the same time sent scouts to follow the Qing army and reconnoiter the enemy all the way.

Wen Xiang, the governor of Yunan, led 3,000 Qing troops, looted the horses of the horse gang along the way, and did not stop when he arrived at Yongchang City, but just transported all the food, gunpowder and other materials in the city and rushed to Tengchong City, the administrative office of Tengyue Hall. The Qing army gathered in one place and captured some young and strong villagers along the way, and the strength reached 7,000 people.

When Feng Yunshan heard the news, he suddenly had an idea! Originally, I was worried about how to find an excuse for sending troops to Burma, but now there is!

"Order, appoint Li Kaifang, commander of the Second Division of A, as the main general, and lead the Second Division A and the Twelfth Division to pursue the Qing demon head Wenxiang, without annihilation, just drive it to the territory of Myanmar in the south." Feng Yunshan looked at the map, pointed to Mandalay, the capital of Myanmar, and said with a smile: "It would be better if the Qing army was forced to enter the vicinity of Mandalay, the capital of Myanmar." Let Li Kaifang then use Burma to help the Qing army as an excuse to attack Burma and force it to surrender to the Holy Country and become a state of the Holy Country. ”

The first thing Feng Yunshan thought of was to preemptively occupy Ringanqiang, an oil-producing area in Myanmar, and after occupying this place, everything was easy to say. This is the most important purpose of Feng Yunshan's troops to Burma. As for the rest, wait until your own forces are strong.

Soon, the soldiers who received the order were in action. Li Kaifang led a total of 21,000 people from the 2nd and 12th Divisions, and took several guides and generals who were familiar with Burma to Tengyue via Chuxiong Mansion.

When passing through Chuxiong Mansion on the way, Luo Qiongshu handed over more than half of the foreign guns in the hands of his 6th Division A to the 2nd Division A and the 22th Division, so that the 2nd Division A was equipped with 8,000 foreign guns, and the 22th Division was also equipped with 2,000 foreign guns.

This was explained by Feng Yunshan, because he vaguely remembered that the second attack of the British on Burma was to dispatch 10,000 British troops and defeat the Burmese army. If the British didn't want to swallow Burma in one gulp, and took the initiative to withdraw their troops, this 10,000-strong army would be enough to wipe out the whole of Burma.

Therefore, for the sake of prudence, he is also equipped with 10,000 foreign guns, plus 10,000 soldiers equipped with cold weapons and bird guns, which should be able to defeat the Burmese army, and he is not afraid of the British army.

Moreover, the point is that he does not want to destroy Burma or occupy Burma entirely, but only fights it, and then supports the local forces in Burma against the British, which is much easier and most beneficial.

After dealing with these things, Feng Yunshan did not stay in Kunming again. He also had to go to Yangwantuzhou, Guangxi, to see what was a suspected oil field.

On the way back, although it will be much faster to take a boat along the river, it is still a problem whether the oil field can be found.

Even if he found it, how could Feng Yunshan leave without producing some oil? It takes time.

Feng Yunshan was worried that by the time he returned to Guangzhou, Cheng Lingnan had already given birth to a child. Therefore, he wanted to hurry back in time.

Fan Ruzeng took advantage of the ten or so days in Kunming to quietly leave more than a dozen spies of the Secret Service Department in Kunming, and the Yunan Intelligence Station had been established as early as a month ago when Feng Yunshan had not come to Kunming, but there were not enough manpower, and this time the manpower was strengthened, and most of the area in Yunan was already occupied by the Holy State, so it was naturally easier to develop spies.

In addition, Feng Yunshan gave up his blood and allocated 100,000 taels of silver from the silver seized from Kunming City, which was specially used for the intelligence investment of Yunan Station, the development and training of spies, and the development of infiltration intelligence personnel to Burma, India, Vietnam, Nanzhang, Siam and other places.

Zeng Yuheng, vice minister of the Ministry of Public Works, also brought more than a dozen directors and deacons of the Ministry of Public Works to Kunming.

Some of them were asked to go to the copper-producing areas of Dongchuan Province and Lin'an Province to inspect the situation of copper mines, prepare to take over and mine copper mines, and resume copper mining, which had been halted by the war. The other part of the people, according to the order of the Holy King, organized the 10,000 people who surrendered in Kunming to build a cement factory in Shilin, and started from Kunming, built roads, and began to change the ancient tea horse road to cement roads.
