After Ruyang borrowed grain, many poor people saw hope, and the twisting party can be seen everywhere in southern Henan. The leaders of the twists in the counties and townships around Pingyu Street are all leading the twists, and their power has grown again and again. In addition, in view of the fact that the twisters around Anhui Province have been transformed into a twist army and become a regular combat force. So Chen Daxi also called on the twisting party in various places to speed up the establishment of boxing rings and conduct combat training every day. There are 30 to 50 people in the shed, and they have become mainly young people who trade in illicit salt, poor families, bankrupts, and frustrated people, and even Tuan Yong and Xiang Yong have joined the shed. The boxing ring stipulates that one person is in trouble with the gang, and each gang is in trouble. Learn weapons and combat every day. At the same time, weapons are crafted, gunpowder and thunder are made. Chen Daxi served as the head coach, and He'er, Chen Wen, and I Luo Jie all went to various sheds to teach various skills. Turning the twists that used to be scattered into organizations that work together is bound to eventually form a fighting force.

In order to propagate the twist, to cause a class struggle. At this time, there was a struggle for the batch of holes.

Shandong Confucius, the name Qiu, the word Zhongni, because of the second ranking, so it is also called Confucius Er. Kong Lao Er defended the slave system and was hostile to the slave uprising. In order to use Confucius's Confucianism and Taoism as a tool to enslave the people, the dynasties tried their best to blow Kong Lao Er and called him a sage. Build Confucian Temple and Confucian Forest in Qufu. and his descendants as saints. The emperor even conferred the title of "Yan Sheng Gong" of Confucius's descendants, and this title can be hereditary, and built the Yan Sheng Gong Mansion (that is, Confucius Mansion) near the Confucian Temple. The Confucian Mansion is a hereditary aristocratic estate, and the land occupied by the Confucian Mansion is all over Shandong, Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, and Hebei, up to more than one million acres. These later generations brutally exploited the poor peasants and lived a life of prostitution. They even set up private courts to keep in mind that they would torture and brutalize peasants at every turn, and do all kinds of evil.

Signing here, the literati in the Twist Army told such a story: More than 2,000 years ago, Kong Lao Er preached in Chen Cai (now Shangcai, Henan) to confuse the people, and was besieged by the common people, starving and dying. He shamelessly sent his disciples to force a poor old man, Fan Dan, to lend the only little food he had at home. Later, he became an official and made a fortune, but he did not admit it and refused to repay the debt. The rich scholars now are all students of Confucius and descendants of Confucius. Both the twisters and the poor are descendants of Van Dane. Fan Dan's descendants have the right to collect old debts from Kong Lao'er's descendants. This simple story soon spread among the Twist Party in various places, and the Twist Party masses all decided to fight the bureaucracy and landlords to the end. Later, the Confucian Temple in Shandong was destroyed, and the Confucian Mansion was besieged and destroyed by the Twist Army.

After the alliance of Anhui's twist party, it attacked from northern Anhui and entered Henan from Yongcheng and Luyi. Chen Daxi called on the twisting party in all parts of Henan to cooperate with the Anhui twisting army to fight together. And many times led the twist party in Henan to seize the property of the government and the landlords and gentry. Chen Daxi stipulated: The targets of the attack are the government, landlords, and gentry, and they are not allowed to harass the poor and poor. The property obtained by the raid shall be divided according to the head of the person, and shall not be concealed without permission. ------ at this time, Chen Daxi actually used the name of helping Anhui to expand and expand his strength, killing two birds with one stone. In the seventh year of Xianfeng, there was a large-scale locust plague, and there was no food to fight around Pingyu. In order to solve the problem of famine, Chen Daxi decided to go north.

This is an extraordinary fight, and this is the only way for us to get money. More practically, to keep our team from being destroyed by hunger, disease, etc., we have to fight out (without food, people's hearts are unstable, and the twisters will have to leave the ring to find their own way). Chen Daxi arranged those who were proficient in martial arts to the front-line battle, and in the middle were a mixture of various livestock vehicles and ordinary twists, and many twists were also arranged in the back. And, of course, the many eyeliners we wear on the outside keep an eye on the movements of the various forces around us. We headed north, passing through Xiangcheng, Huaiyang, Taikang, and Tongxu, and arrived at Kaifeng. Kaifeng Prefecture then dispatched troops to intercept it. Chen Daxi commanded us to the west, avoiding reality and coming to Mixian and Yuzhou to launch an attack. The government was caught off guard. At the same time, he broke through many stockades and captured a lot of money, grain, mules and horses. Then, we loaded the money and food into the car, and the whole team served as escorts, all the way back. Along the way, the poor begged us for food, and we gave them one by one. Therefore, the people everywhere learned Chen Daxi's name, and our team was supported and loved by them. Later, we went all the way, and the newly laid money and food, in addition to meeting the daily expenses of our team, the rest was distributed to the local poor families on the spot. As a result, many young adults have joined us, and our team has grown rapidly.

In the following years, every spring and autumn when the weather was warm, Chen Daxi would lead our team out to fight. At the same time, the twisters, women, and craftsmen at home were ordered to make weapons, artillery, gunpowder, fireballs, and steel balls to make full preparations for future battles.

Now about the other forces:

Twist Army:

On November 30, 1856, Gong Deshu defeated the Qing army at the Huhe Bridge. Later, he led the army to attack Mengcheng and Haozhou, and crossed the Huai River.

In March 1856, Su Tianfu led his troops to cooperate with his brothers' army, besieged Yongcheng, occupied Xiayi, defeated Qiu Lianen, the commander of the Qing Dynasty, and besieged the hero Yu Guidecheng, the governor of the south of the Qing River.

On June 19, 1856, Pheasant River Ji fell, and Sun Kuixin and Su Tianfu retreated south with Zhang Lexing. On July 16, it conquered Zhengyangguan and Sanhejian, important towns in the upper reaches of the Huai River (now Sanhejian Town, Gushi County, Henan Province). A large amount of supplies was obtained, a large number of personnel were replenished, and morale was restored. He returned to the army and went north, and on August 24, he recaptured Pheasant River.

Taiping heavenly kingdom:

In March 1856, Shi Dakai defeated the Hunan army Zhou Fengshan in Zhangshu Town, occupied more than 50 prefectures and counties in Jiangxi, and besieged Zeng Guofan in Nanchang. However, Wuhan was still besieged by the Hunan army, and the war ended in a stalemate. The Taiping Army's westward expedition lasted nearly three years, and it controlled the three major towns of Anqing, Jiujiang, and Wuchang in the upper reaches of Tianjing, and occupied Jiangxi, Anhui, and eastern Hubei Province, becoming the main strategic base of Taiping Tianjing, effectively shielding Tianjing, ensuring food sources, and creating conditions for Taiping Tianyuan to persist in the struggle.

On April 5, 1856, the Taiping army conquered Yangzhou again and broke through the "Jiangbei camp". In June 1856 (the sixth year of Xianfeng), the Taiping army broke through the "Jiangnan camp" and relieved the three-year siege of Tianjing. Qing commander Xiang Rong committed suicide on August 9.

In 1856, the Taiping army broke through the Qing army's "Jiangnan camp" and relieved the three-year siege of Tianjing. Yang Xiuqing pretended that "Heavenly Father descended to earth" and forced the Heavenly King to seal himself from "nine thousand years old" to "Long live". Wei Changhui, the king of the north, asked the king of heaven to kill the king of the east at this time, but the king of heaven refused. Later, Chen Chengying reported to the King of Heaven, saying that the King of the East had an attempt to kill the king and usurp the throne, and the King of Heaven secretly ordered the King of the North, the King of Wing, and the King of Yan Qin Rigang to eradicate the King of the East.

Hong Xiuquan ordered Wei Changhui to lead more than 3,000 Taiping troops from Jiangxi Province to Tianjing on September 1 and besiege Dongwangfu. In the early morning of the 2nd, Yang Xiuqing and his family were killed, and more than 20,000 people from the Dongwang shogunate, their families and other soldiers and civilians were also killed, which is known as the "Tianjing Incident". At the beginning of October, after Shi Dakai learned of this situation, he hurriedly rushed back to Tianjing from Hubei in a hurry, and loudly asked Wei Changhui how he could kill innocents indiscriminately at will? But unexpectedly, Wei Changhui became angry and angry, and the two broke up unhappily. On the same day, someone secretly reported to Shi Dakai, saying that Wei Changhui was going to kill him, and it was very urgent, the soldiers had secretly set off, Shi Dakai escaped from Jinling City that night, but all his family members (including his wife and children) were killed by Wei Changhui and did not leave any of them.

After Shi Dakai learned the news, he was heartbroken and almost cried to death. So, he hurriedly mobilized 40,000 troops from Anhui Province, Hubei Province and other places, and prepared to return to Beijing to seek revenge on Wei Changhui. Shi Dakai raised troops in Anhui and wrote to the king of heaven, asking him to kill the king of the north to make the people angry. Seeing that all the soldiers and civilians supported Shi Dakai, the Heavenly King issued an edict to punish Wei. Later, under the secret order of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, Wei Changhui and more than 200 of his henchmen were all executed, ending Wei Changhui's two-month reign in Tianjing. Subsequently, he hurriedly sent the heads of Wei Changhui and others to Shi Dakai, who was preparing to lead troops to attack Wei Changhui in Ningguo Mansion in Anhui Province, and ordered Shi Dakai to return to Beijing to assist the government. In November, Shi Dakai returned to Beijing with an edict, and was respected as the "righteous king" by the military and the people. He did not care about personal grievances, and when he was held accountable for the massacre, he only punished the chief evil, and did not blame his subordinates, and the relatives of the northern prince were also protected and reused, and the people's hearts quickly settled down. Although Wuchang fell shortly after Shi Dakai returned to Beijing due to the lack of food and aid, under Shi Dakai's deployment, the Taiping army held the key passes, waiting for an opportunity to counterattack, in order to reverse the crisis, Hong Xiuquan personally took charge of the military and government, Hong Renxuan, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng and a number of other young generals were appointed, and the new leading group was rebuilt and strengthened to stabilize the situation.

Shi Dakai, the winged king who returned to Beijing to assist the government, was not only a very good person, but also wise and brave, so he was deeply supported and welcomed by the military and people of Tianjing, as well as trusted. However, it may also be because the time limit of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has arrived, or it should be destroyed, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom recommended Shi Dakai to preside over the government, but Hong Xiuquan was afraid of Shi Dakai's prestige and talent, and refused to grant him the status of "military advisor", and only named him "the main general of the Holy Spirit Telecommunication Army". Therefore, after a short time, the king Hong Xiuquan began to constantly exclude dissidents, and constantly crowned their family members surnamed Hong as the princes of the main yamen, and gradually controlled the real power of each yamen, while the winged king Shi Dakai was gradually hollowed out, so in this case, Shi Dakai was very afraid that he would suffer the same fate as Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, so he had to leave Beijing at the end of May 1857 and go to Anqing. In our current proverbial saying, it is a complete parting of the ways. The Tianjing Incident caused the three kings to be killed, and the Wing King left, which was a turning point in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
