In the eleventh month of the lunar calendar, in the Yamen of the Jinzhou Deputy Governor of Fengtianfu, the newly appointed Jinzhou Deputy Governor Sa Bing'a was anxiously stamping his feet in the official office, and he wanted to cry without tears: This month, too many things have happened in his jurisdiction. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

He spent nearly 30,000 taels of silver half a year ago in exchange for the opportunity to be promoted to the position of deputy capital of Jinzhou, if he can regret it, he would rather spend another 30,000 miles of silver, even if he is demoted back, or in the position of the captain of Kaiyuan City, he is also willing.

Three days ago, the Lushun Naval Division Battalion Coordinator first reported that a large number of warships were suddenly found in the southeast sea, and then the entire Lushun Naval Division Battalion was completely destroyed, and only the Lushun Naval Division Battalion Coordinator led a cadre of personal soldiers to flee to Ninghai County, which is now known as Jinzhou.

As the deputy commander of Jinzhou, Sa Bing'a is a military official and a second-grade official, and he is in charge of the Jinzhou City Co-Leader, the Lushun Water Division Battalion Co-Leader, and the Gaizhou City Guard, Fuzhou City Guard, and Xiongyue Defense Captain, and manages the banners and military affairs.

Therefore, he immediately ordered the escaped Lushun Navy Division Battalion Commander to be imprisoned on the spot, and prepared to escort Shengjing to Shengjing's general Yixing for punishment. He also ordered the leader of the Jinzhou City Association to lead the Lushun Water Division Battalion that had fled from the Jinzhou Association and take strict precautions.

Unexpectedly, yesterday, Sa Bing'a suddenly received an urgent report from the leader of Jinzhou City, saying that Nanguanling Village, which was three or four miles southeast of Jinzhou City, had been raided by hundreds of long-haired thieves!

Sabinga was so frightened that he jumped up at that moment.

His deputy capital of Jinzhou, Yamen, was in the original Ninghai county, and now it is renamed the city of Jinzhou. According to the report from the leader of the Jinzhou City Association, this long-haired thief was the long-haired thief of the Northern Expedition who made a lot of noise in Zhili a few days ago, and there were tens of thousands of people, and somehow, all came to his Jinzhou by sea.

And he, the deputy capital, has less than 10,000 soldiers under his command, and there are only less than 1,000 banner soldiers left in Jinzhou City. How to resist?

This damn monk Grinqin and Shengbao! With so many troops, the long-haired thieves got out of trouble! I, Sa Bing'a, must let General Sheng Jing Yixing ginseng a few copies of them.

Thinking of this, Sa Bing'a hurriedly sent someone to report and ask for help to his immediate boss, General Sheng Jing.

However, far water can't quench the thirst of the near, and even the flag soldiers in Gaizhou, Fuzhou, Xiongyue and other places under his jurisdiction have no time to be transferred, let alone Fengtian, which is 600 miles away.

Thinking of this gang of long-haired thieves, when they broke through Jiangning City, they slaughtered all the nearly 20,000 banners in the city, Sa Bing'a was terrified. He was afraid of death, and he wanted to run away, but he didn't dare.

This morning, tens of thousands of long-haired thieves have besieged the city on three sides, leaving only the north, and this kind of siege is undoubtedly hinting at letting him flee north.

He thought that he would resist a little and then evacuate Jinzhou City, so that he would not only be more decent, but also have an explanation to the imperial court and would not be punished.

Just as Sa Bing'a was thinking about it and being impatient, there was a killing cry outside the Dutong Yamen, and several pro-soldiers outside the door rushed in in a panic, carrying Sa Bing'a and fleeing: "Lord Deputy Dutong, the thieves have broken the city!" Come on! ”

What the? Breaking the city so quickly? Sa Bing'a's heart sank to the bottom, a fear struck, he broke away from the support of his own soldiers, who thought that he would stay in the city to resist, and just wanted to dissuade him, only to see him take off his official robe like flying, revealing a shabby Han costume, and quickly fled towards the north of the city.

The relatives and soldiers were stunned on the spot, and then they quickly scattered and fled!

The city of Jinzhou was easily occupied by the soldiers of the Taiping Army of the Northern Expedition.

Jinzhou City, as the seat of the Yamen of the deputy capital of Jinzhou, was looted with silver, guns, gunpowder, projectiles and grain jackets, and the soldiers of the Taiping Army were fully supplied and became more and more powerful.

The gunpowder in Jinzhou City alone seized 40,000 catties, and more than 20,000 cotton jackets, so that the Taiping army, which had no supplies, had no worries.

Immediately afterwards, Qin Rigang, who was overjoyed, assigned his cronies to lead the soldiers of the Taiping Army to occupy all the towns and villages of the entire Jinzhou Peninsula (that is, Dalian on the Liaodong Peninsula in later generations), and killed the banner soldiers who fled from Jinzhou City and Nanguanling Village.

Around Jinzhou, the land is vast and sparsely populated, Manchu and Han live together, and the fertile soil in the village is mostly occupied by the banner people, and the Han people are just tenants or slaves for them to drive, and the Han people have long been resentful. Now as soon as the Taiping army came, they occupied the villages, slaughtered the banner people, and forced the Han people to join the Taiping army.

Qin Riqing was Qin Rigang's younger brother, and he led 3,000 Taiping troops to discover a large imperial village thirty miles northwest of Jinzhou City. The Huangzhuang was guarded by a head of the Eight Rank Zhuang, leading hundreds of Zhuang Ding to prepare to resist. However, more than half of these Zhuang Ding were Han Chinese, and under the offensive of the Taiping army outside the village shouting "open the warehouse and release grain, distribute the land", they immediately collapsed, opened the gate of the village, and led the Taiping army into the village.

Qin Riqing found that this grain village mainly produces sorghum, millet, beans and other grains and some small oil crops, and there are tens of thousands of stones of all kinds of grain piled up in the village, and he can't help but be overjoyed, and immediately seized and escorted to Jinzhou City.

The same thing happened all over the Golden State.

Three days later, the city of Fuzhou was forcibly conquered.

The territory of Jinzhou and Fuzhou was occupied by Taiping soldiers.

The Taiping army recruited Han tenants and others who came to defect along the way, and quickly grew to 50,000 people. At the same time, tens of thousands of stones of grain were seized, guns and gunpowder, countless knives, spears and bows and arrows, thousands of horses, and nearly tens of thousands of taels of silver.

His initial goal has been achieved. But what made him a little depressed was that Huang Wenjin really captured Nanguanling Village with only 500 people, and he was still safe and sound. And Zhu Xikun is the same. In desperation, he had to rest all his cronies on the grounds that his troops had been fighting for a long time and needed to take turns to rest.

Qin Rigang claimed that in order to expand the results of the war, he sent Huang Wenjin to lead 2,000 soldiers to attack Gaizhou and Xiongyue City in the north; Send Zhu Xikun to lead 3,000 men to Liaodong to attack Xiuyan Hall and Phoenix City.

Qin Rigang's idea was to send two people to a small number of cronies and soldiers to the hinterland of the Qing Demon to attack the city and plunder the land. If you win, you are the main general, which is equivalent to occupying more territory; If he is defeated, it is better to die in battle, so as not to make it inconvenient for him to do it, and even if he does not die in battle, his cronies and subordinates will definitely suffer serious losses, and he will find another reason to punish him.

But no matter what, let's build the Golden State area first.

Qin Rigang has decided to develop this Jinzhou area into his own base, like Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, to lay a foundation, have his own territory, and then compete with Tianjing, claiming to be a one.

By the way, it is necessary to develop sailors and leave a way back for yourself.

Thinking of this, Qin Rigang called his second brother Qin Rinan, and ordered him to lead 3,000 Taiping troops and a group of strong men to cut down wooden ships, preparing to build good warships and form a sailor in the coming year.

At this point, Qin Rigang was a little satisfied, but he knew that he couldn't turn his face with Tianjing yet, he just quietly accumulated power.
