Thanks to the 1st Guards Tank Brigade, the tank is a big tip!
………………
Three days later, He Lu led more than 20,000 triad brothers and 7,000 triad brothers in Bao'an to successfully join forces and consider himself the leader. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Because there are not many Qing troops in Bao'an, the Qing soldiers have no time to transfer troops, so He Lu captured Baoa County in one fell swoop.
In the next few days, He Lu went all the way north to meet the counties of Huiyang, Boluo, and ZC that followed the uprising. The number of urban flood control troops along the way was too small, and they fled in despair.
The land commander stationed in Huizhou City personally led the 7 battalions with a total of 4,000 Qing soldiers to defend Huizhou Fucheng, and ordered all the Qing soldiers of the 3rd Battalion of Huizhou Association stationed in three places outside Huiyang City to gather together and join forces with a total of 2,000 people and go to Huizhou Fucheng to defend the city.
After He Lu received the righteous army outside Huiyang County, he did not attack Huizhou Fucheng, but continued to go north, passing through Boluo and ZC and finally arrived at Panyu County, receiving nearly 30,000 righteous troops along the way, a total of more than 50,000 people, sweeping down the way, occupying the left battalion and rear camp of the naval commander of only a few hundred Qing soldiers.
After capturing a large number of weapons, He Lu equipped 50,000 righteous troops, and used more than 700 ships to form a righteous army water division, and the waterway marched together, and the army drove from Panyu to Guangzhou City.
At the same time, He Lu successively sent several of his holy soldier brothers to report to Luo Xuan, who was stationed in the north in the direction of Qingyuan, informing him that an uprising had been launched and urging him to send troops to come to support as soon as possible.
He Lu referred to the content of the Taiping Holy Army, and asked Mr. Jiaoshu to write a "Discussion of Hu Xuan", which was released in all directions, denouncing the crimes of the Qing court, calling on the people of GD to "exterminate the Qing Dynasty", and at the same time calling on the righteous armies of the Heaven and Earth Society to take action and raise the banner to rebel. He even sent hundreds of brothers from the Heaven and Earth Society to spread the news and invite the anti-Qing rebels in the vicinity of Guangzhou Mansion to gather in Guangzhou Mansion in the middle of the eleventh lunar month to besiege the city of Guangzhou.
..............
In Nanhai County, Guangzhou Prefecture, Lu Shunde, the chief of Jinyi, and dozens of famous Cantonese holy army soldiers have settled down in the South China Sea under the leadership of Zhang Bashan, the leader of the Lechang Tiandi Association.
At the beginning, after the capture of Shaozhou, Lu Shunde and Zhang Bashan were sent by Luo Gang to the vicinity of Guangzhou City, looking for a place to secretly mobilize the Heaven and Earth Congregation, waiting for the opportunity to raise troops to respond to the Taiping Holy Army's attack on Guangzhou.
When Lu Shunde heard Zhang Bashan say that his cousin seemed to be a member of the Heaven and Earth Congregation, he followed Zhang Bashan out of Guangzhou City and came to Nanhai County, where his cousin was located.
Zhang Bashan's cousin is one of the big leaders of the Nanhai Tiandi Society, Kuang Neng monk, although he is a monk in Fengning Temple, but he has a close relationship with the big and small leaders of the Tiandi Society in the Nanhai, Sanshui, and Shunde areas. Under his recommendation, Lu Shunde and Zhang Bashan, who are alias Lu Er, also became one of the leaders of the Tiandihui in Nanhai County, with nearly 4,000 brothers.
On this day in September, Lu Shunde heard Zhang Bashan say that his cousin was the Kuang Neng monk of Fengning Temple, and he asked Lu Shunde to discuss something important.
"Monk Kuang Neng? Brother Zhang, are you sure that your cousin is Monk Kuang Neng? Lu Shunde exclaimed. When he left Shaozhou, Luo Xuan called him to the secret room to confess, and among the few names mentioned by the Holy King that made him pay close attention, there was Monk Kuang Neng. It's just that he has always only known that Zhang Bashan's cousin is the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society, but he doesn't know that it is the Kuang Neng monk that the Holy King said.
The two brought some cronies to Fengning Temple on the outskirts of Nanhai County, but found that hundreds of people had gathered together. When everyone was almost there, Monk Kuang Neng stood in the middle and explained in a loud voice: "Today, the monk called everyone to come and discuss important matters!" "Say, sell a pass;" First of all, I would like to introduce you to a few brothers in the club! ”
"The big leader of the Heaven and Earth Society in Foshan Town, Nanhai City, Brother Chen Kai! Brother Chen Kai has been accommodating the Jianghu brothers for a long time, and he is admirable, so please ask him to talk about this important matter! After speaking, Monk Kuang Neng stepped aside.
A five-short and stout man stood up, his eyes were attentive, and after nodding to everyone, he said loudly: "Brothers, Chen will be straightforward!" Yesterday, I got the news that the brothers He Lu, the big leaders of the Tiandihui in the east of Guangzhou Prefecture, mobilized the Tiandihui brothers in Dongguan County, Baoa County, Huiyang, Boluo, ZC Panyu and other counties to raise troops against the Qing Dynasty! He led a congregation of more than 50,000 people and stationed in Panyu County, preparing to capture the city of Guangzhou. I hereby send an invitation to us to jointly raise a major event and jointly attack Guangzhou. I wonder what the brothers think? ”
"Great! The brothers in the east have raised their flags and raised their troops, and our brothers in the west cannot lag behind, Leader Chen, monks, we will also raise troops together to drive away the Manchus! ”
"Yes! I've been waiting for this day for a long time. Let's elect Leader Chen as the big leader and start an incident together! ”
"I just don't know what Leader Chen means? If he is led, I, Gan Luosheng, are naturally willing to follow an anti-Qing movement. ”
"Didn't say that. Since Leader Chen has called us here, he has made up his mind to start an incident. Of course, I, the sixth king, followed. ”
Everyone was talking and excited, and they were all willing to follow the move.
Lu Shunde, who was on the side, admired the Holy King in his heart: "The Holy King's information is really accurate. Before attacking Shaozhou, he had already found out the information on the Guangzhou Prefecture so accurately. It must be Chen Kai and Kuang Neng Monk, who have long been anti-Qing. He was sent by the Holy King to find out. ”
At that moment, he shouted loudly: "Everyone listen to my Lu Er's words." Why don't we elect Chen Kaitou as the big leader, Monk Kuang Neng as the military advisor, we are all small leaders, lead our brothers, and follow the big leaders to raise a major event against the Qing Dynasty! ”
"Well said! This second brother Lu said to my heart. ”
“.........”
Then, Lu Shunde suggested that everyone go back and lead their brothers, gather in Mengqinggang the day after tomorrow, and take "anti-Qing Xinghan" as the slogan, vow to "live and die together, become a family", and announce the anti-Qing uprising. With Mengqinggang as the main camp, Dawugang as the auxiliary camp, and Fengning Temple as the base camp, and contact the congregation brothers in Nanhai City, ready to respond during the siege. Chen Kai ordered people to issue a document and proclamation to discuss the Qing government, recounting the corrupt rule of the Qing government, and proposing to establish a "fair and upright world" for Yao Shun's comeback. and promoted Chen Kai as the king of the South China Sea, and officially began to oppose the Qing Dynasty.
Lu Shunde hurriedly sent people to send the news of the uprising in Nanhai and Guangzhou Tiandihui to the territory of the Taiping Holy Kingdom.
Early in the morning of the third day, Lu Shunde and Zhang Bashan led a congregation of 4,000 men to assemble at the nearest Dawugang. After the assembly was completed, there were more than 30,000 congregations in Dawugang, each armed with various weapons, and attacked Foshan Town, the county seat of Nanhai County.
The rebels of the Mengqinggang battalion had already set out, and their number reached an astonishing 60,000 people.
When the Qing army guarding the city inside the city wall of Foshan Town saw the dense array of rebels outside the city, the flood defense soldiers of only more than 200 people were already frightened and just wanted to flee for their lives. None of them had the intention of defending the city. It is indeed impossible to hold, a small county town, 200 defenders, how to defend against the siege of tens of thousands of people?
With the assistance of the people in the city, the rebels stormed the city twice, then opened the city gate, rushed into the city, and occupied the county government and the official warehouse.
Lu Shunde led everyone to follow the main force of the righteous army, rushed into the county seat, and distributed some weapons and food. But he suggested to Chen Kai and Kuang Neng that the rebels should be restrained not to disturb the people, love the people, and win the hearts of the people. When Chen Kai heard this, he suddenly felt justified and gladly accepted it. He also appointed and dismissed Lu Shunde as the three leaders, assigned 20,000 righteous troops to Lu Shunde to lead, ordered him to attack Shunde County, and then joined forces to enter Panyu, and joined forces with He Luyi's army in the east to besiege Guangzhou City.
