Victory came too easily! In less than half a month, eight prefectures and counties were occupied. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoHe Lichuan, like the other leaders of the Knife Society, felt that the Qing soldiers were vulnerable.

happened to encounter the invitation of the Heaven and Earth Club in Suzhou Prefecture, and after a little discussion, the leader of the Little Knife Society decided to continue the attack on Taicang Prefecture City, aiming at the prosperous provincial capital city --- Suzhou.

Liu Lichuan even fantasized that after capturing the city of Suzhou, how would the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom reward himself, whether it would be for a marquis or a prince?

Liu Lichuan actually hoped to defect to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Although he didn't like that Rausch to worship God, he liked the high privilege of the Heavenly Emperor. That's the king!

As for the Taiping Holy Kingdom in the south, he didn't particularly like it.

Long before the Knife Society revolted, he had found out.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom only crowned Qin Rigang as the king of Yan not long ago, and there are already several princes, and they will definitely continue to be rewarded in the future. And the holy country of Guangzhou has only one prince from beginning to end. Even if he has been following the Holy King for so long, he has not been crowned king, and I believe that he Liu Lichuan defected to the Holy Kingdom, and there will be no possibility of being crowned king.

For this reason alone, he gave priority to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Tianjing.

However, it was clear that the Holy Kingdom was even stronger, which made it difficult for him. But two days ago, he secretly met with his old friend and current Daming State staff officer Xu Weiren to ask him what to do, and Xu Weiren inadvertently reminded him.

The icing on the cake is not as good as charcoal in the snow!

The kingdom of God occupies several provinces, while the kingdom of heaven has only a small amount of territory. He Liu Lichuan wants to be the one who sends charcoal in the snow! Obviously, only a little bit of land in the Heavenly Kingdom saw him as a charcoal in the snow.

……..

Just as the rebels of the Little Knife Society set off to prepare to attack Taicang, in the city of Suzhou, the governor's yamen had been changed to the temporary yamen of the governor of Liangjiang.

Xu Naizhao, who succeeded Yang Wending, who was defeated and dismissed, and became the governor of Jiangsu, was bowing his head, and with the two people next to him, he sat down and listened to the reprimand of Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang, who was sitting on the main seat in the hall.

"Xu Naizhao, Gilhang'a, this riot in Songjiang Mansion, especially the riot of the Little Knife Club in Shanghi City, the emperor has learned about it, and Long Yan is furious. The edict ordered this official to immediately supervise and order Er and others to lead the troops to Songjiang Mansion to encircle and suppress them! Yiliang, who is in his sixties, was full of anger, and Xu Naizhao's ears hurt.

"Humble command!" Xu Naizhao lowered his head and answered.

"By the way, I heard that there are already chaotic parties operating in the border between Suzhou and Taicang, and this official has ordered Bo Chengsheng, the chief soldier of Langshan Town, to lead the troops to Taicang first. After leading the troops, he made peace with him and went to Songjiang to suppress the rebels. ”

"Yes! Producer-sama! Xu Naizhao and Ji Hang'a, the political envoy of Zhu Subu and the member of Changzhen Tonghaidao, answered together.

Xu Naizhao felt depressed for a while.

Since taking over as governor of Jiangsu at the beginning of last year, there has not been a day of ease.

Needless to say, the former governor Lu Jianxuan died in battle.

The former governor Yang Wending defeated the long-haired thief soldiers, was dismissed from his post by the imperial court, and is now imprisoned in the prison of the Criminal Department.

He took over as governor of Jiangsu in great trepidation, and also served as the assistant of the "Jiangnan Battalion", actively campaigning, in Suzhou, Changzhou, Songjiang and other areas to implement tax reduction, set up refugee bureaus to resettle refugees, and created a method of donating instead of endowment to increase the treasury revenue, not only won the praise of Xiang Rong, the minister who commanded the "Jiangnan Battalion", but also won the support of the people in the Changsusong area.

Seeing that the number of displaced people in the Susong area has become fewer and they have settled down, this has just improved a little, but I didn't expect that this gang of bandits in Shanghi City would riot!

Moreover, in just more than ten days, not only occupied Shanghi City, but also captured almost all of the entire Songjiang Mansion, and even the bandits in Suzhou Mansion were also ready to move.

Now, he Xu Naizhao has worked hard for nearly a year, and everything he has worked hard to manage has been in vain!

Out of the governor's yamen, Xu Naizhao returned to the Suzhou prefect's yamen, his governor's yamen was occupied by Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang, and he could only occupy the Suzhou government as the governor's yamen.

Xu Naizhao, who was worried, was worried about where there were so many officers and soldiers to exterminate the bandits, and Menzi led a sergeant to report: "The villain is ordered by the chief soldier of my family, Lord Hu Songlin, to inform Lord Futai: He has led 4,000 soldiers along the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal to assist Lord Futai in encircling and suppressing the thieves, and now he has passed the border of Wuxi County. Due to the rush of sending troops, there was not much military rations, and I asked Lord Futai to prepare the soldiers' rations in advance, get ready, and send troops together. ”

Hearing this, Xu Naizhao was overjoyed!

It seems that Qin Cha treats himself well to adults.

Xu Naizhao is also the assistant of the "Jiangnan Battalion", responsible for preparing military salaries, grain and grass, but he knows how great the pressure is on Xiang Rong to lead the Jiangnan Battalion and besiege Jiangning City, which is a long-haired thief. Basically, since the formation of the Jiangnan camp for more than a year, a holy oracle has been sent from the Beijing division every month, scolding Xiang Rong and scolding him for why he has not conquered Jinling as soon as possible.

In this way, Xiang Junmen also sent a strong army of 4,000 sergeants to help him encircle and suppress the rebellious party, which is really a great kindness.

Wrong! Even if Xiang Junmen is benevolent to himself, he will not transfer troops indiscriminately. And this time it's so proactive!

Could it be? This is what the emperor meant?!

Xu Naizhao was shocked into a cold sweat! He already knew it in his heart.

It seems that this Shanghi City in Songjiang Mansion is even more important than he imagined! It was so important that the emperor thousands of miles away couldn't sit still, and directly transferred the troops besieging Jinling City, the heavy land of long-haired thieves!

Xu Naizhao felt more and more intense pressure. After exterminating the long-haired thief soldiers, everything is easy to say, and he can even make a great achievement. But if he fails to eradicate it, he Xu Naizhao is estimated to be a little worse than his predecessor Yang Wending, maybe it will be the result of directly copying his family and beheading.

Thinking of this, Xu Naizhao didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly gathered his subordinates to prepare money and food to meet the army.

At the same time, he sent someone to contact Bo Chengsheng, the chief soldier of Langshan Town, and told him the news that the general soldier Hu Songlin had led troops to help, and agreed to meet in Kunshan County.

The next day, Xu Naizhao led more than 1,500 pacesetters from Benfu, plus more than 2,000 people from the Suzhou regiment, a total of 3,500 people, and then brought more than 1,000 villagers carrying grain led by local squires.

The Qing soldiers joined forces and killed the Tiandihui Party in Wujiang and Kunshan. All the way like the autumn wind sweeping away the leaves, more than 1,000 Hui parties who were just about to raise an incident scattered and fled, and hundreds of people were directly killed by the fierce Qing soldiers.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Naizhao and Hu Songlin joined up with Bo Chengsheng, the chief soldier of Langshan Town, in Kunshan, and the Qing army had as many as 10,500 troops.

Xu Naizhao and others suppressed the sporadic uprisings of the Tiandihui in Suzhou Prefecture in less than two days, and at this time, the Xiaodaohui happened to attack Taicang Prefecture under the command of Li Xianchi, the governor of Pinghu, and Chen Alin, the left marshal and Zhou Lichun.

Xu Naizhao immediately dispatched Bo Chengsheng, the chief soldier of Langshan Town, to lead 3,000 officers and soldiers of the headquarters to rush to the outside of Taicang City, and rushed to help defend the city of Taicang Zhizhou.

Li Xianchi, the governor of Pinghu, was a little suspicious, Taicang Prefecture City was not big, and it was so difficult to attack, and all of a sudden, the idea that the officers and soldiers were all soft eggs was shattered. He felt something bad and retreated.

But Marshal Zuo Chen Alin insisted on capturing the city of Taicangzhou. He continued to command the Little Knife Society to launch a fierce attack, and finally, after the tragic price of killing and wounding hundreds of Little Knife Society brothers, the city of Taicang was breached.

Chen Alin was overjoyed, Li Xianchi also began to be optimistic again, Zhou Lichun was even more overjoyed, and the three of them led the troops to rush into Taicang City.

At this moment, Bo Chengsheng, the chief soldier of Langshan Town, led three thousand green battalion soldiers to arrive and blocked the small knife society rebels in Taicang Prefecture.

Seeing that the Qing army reinforcements arrived, Li Xianchi didn't think much about it, and hurriedly ordered the rebels to retreat. However, the brave Chen Alin and Zhou Lichun still led their men to fight fiercely in the city.

At this time, the main forces of the Qing army such as Xu Naizhao and Hu Songlin also rushed to Taicang one after another, and Li Xianchi saw that the situation was not good, and directly led his subordinates to retreat to Jiading.

The Qing army surrounded the city of Taicang and killed the rebels trapped in the city. Chen Alin and Zhou Lichun were shocked and led the troops to fight bravely. Although the two escaped, the rebels trapped in the city suffered heavy losses, Chen Alin's department was better, only lost more than 1,000 people, and Zhou Lichun directly lost more than 2,000 people. In the battle of Taicang alone, the rebels suffered 3,500 casualties.

Only then did the leaders of the Little Knife Society realize that they were too arrogant, and that the Qing army was far stronger than they thought. Li Xianchi, who learned of the loss of the rebels, was even more frightened, and fled directly from Jiading to Shanghi City.
