Huang Demei led thousands of small knife congregations, and as soon as he entered the city of Xiamen, he saw a Qing army general, but he was a guerrilla general, leading three or four hundred Qing soldiers to train bravely and come forward to resist. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

I saw that this person was unusually brave, a big knife made the dragon fly and the phoenix danced, and in the blink of an eye, several volunteers were chopped to the ground by him. In addition, there were more than 20 personal soldiers around this guerrilla general, who were also brave and good at fighting, and for a while, Huang Demei and others were unexpectedly broken open by this Qing army.

Moreover, more than 100 Qing soldiers in the back were armed with shotguns and began to bang their guns at the rebels who rushed into the city gate. Suddenly, as soon as they rushed into the city, more than a dozen of the bravest soldiers of the rebel army fell.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he rushed into the city, he encountered a team of elites!

The best way to rush into the city quickly is to kill this guerrilla general, and his soldiers will naturally collapse without attacking. Huang Demei understands it very well, but she is very helpless.

They were nearly a hundred paces away, and there were only a few earth guns in an army, not even a shotgun, how could they kill from a distance?

Although they had strong martial arts in the Knife Club, they were all blocked by the shotgunners of the Qing army in front, and even if they rushed close to the Qing army regardless of their lives, it was difficult to break through more than 20 personal soldiers and kill the guerrilla general with high martial arts.

Just as he had a headache, he saw Huang Feixing beside him, took out a very short musket from his arms, and then untied a package of packaged gunpowder from his waist, stuffed it into the barrel, and smashed it twice, aiming at the guerrilla general is shot.

I only heard a bang, and through the green smoke, Huang Demei saw the guerrilla general who was wielding a big knife, and fell down in response.

Huang Demei's face showed a look of fear, this musket could hit so far, and the Manchu guerrilla, that brave, was actually shot and fell to the ground.

Unexpectedly, Huang Feixing, the messenger of the captive army, smiled lightly and said: "Leader Huang, this is called a revolver, which is a sharp firearm of foreigners, although it is not as good as the firing musket that my captive army is equipped with a large number of soldiers, but it is most suitable for close-range charge combat, and now it is not too much in my captive army." ”

Huang Demei was even more shocked when she heard this. I didn't expect that the firepower of the captives was so fierce, but the little abacus in my heart had to be put away.

It's just that he didn't have time to think about it at the moment, he just blushed his face, and ordered the righteous army beside him: "The general of the Qing army is dead, let Lao Tzu rush in!" Kill! ”

The rebels poured in.

The Qing soldiers were in a mess, and the shotgunners panicked when they saw that the generals led by them were killed, and they were already afraid, and without anyone to restrain them, they scattered and fled towards the city under the leadership of a general. Suddenly, the remaining dozens of personal soldiers, before they could carry the guerrilla general away, were killed to death by the rushing rebels and fled.

After cross-examination, it was learned that the person who was killed by a single shot was the guerrilla general Zheng Zhenying.

On the same day, the rebels captured the city of Xiamen.

After the occupation of Xiamen, Huang Wei and Huang Demei, under the recommendation of Huang Feixing, officially announced that they had joined the Taiping Holy Kingdom, and issued a proclamation in the name of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, denouncing the crimes of the Qing Dynasty: "The fathers and elders have been harsh on the law for a long time, corrupt officials and corrupt officials, and the government is harsh for the tiger, and they have exhausted their marrow", and called on the people in Xiamen to support the Xiaodao Society and the captive army.

After the rebel army entered Xiamen, Qiu did not commit any crimes, and was warmly welcomed by the people on the island. The rebels also issued a proclamation abolishing exorbitant taxes and reducing the burden on the people.

At the same time, the day after the rebel army occupied Xiamen, Huang Feixing suggested that Huang Wei, Huang Demei, and others send hundreds of people to Quanzhou and Taiwan to immediately establish contact with the leaders of the Hui Party in Taiwan, exchange information, and launch an uprising of the Hui Party together. On the other hand, Huang Feixing also sent people to urge the officers and men of the First Division led by Lin Fengxiang to rush to Xiamen Island and Zhangzhou Mansion as soon as possible to guard the place.

The next day, under the arrangement of the military advisor Cai Maozhao, the righteous army captured the entire territory of Tong'an County and Anxi County respectively.

At the same time, Cai Maozhao, who was born as a peasant, used the herd mentality to widely publicize, and absorbed the people who followed the uprising all the way, and the ranks of more and more righteous troops expanded to tens of thousands of people in a few days. By the tenth day of April, it occupied Pinghe, Guanxi, Tongshan, Yunxiao and other places.

At this time, the 1st Division, which occupied Haicheng County, was also stationed in Xiamen City. Lin Fengxiang and Huang Demei met smoothly.

I saw tens of thousands of soldiers of the first division who entered the city, standing in a forest of flags, and thousands of soldiers at the front, all holding foreign guns, mighty and majestic! A murderous aura of Xiao Su came to his face, worthy of being a division of a hundred battles, which suddenly made the hearts of the people of Xiamen and the righteous army who were onlookers feel terrified.

Huang Demei laughed and led Lin Fengxiang and the others into Xiamen City.

Lin Fengxiang had already received Huang Feixing's report, and he knew Huang Demei's thoughts, so he said straight to the point: "Great Commander, now the Holy King has implemented a new Shengguo Tianmu system in Liangguang, which has provisions that as long as you are not a lackey of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, your land will not be confiscated. However, if there is too much land, the rent should be reduced appropriately. ”

"Really? Didn't it say that the Taiping army wanted to kill all the landlords in the world and distribute all the fields equally? In this way, Huang does not have to worry that he is a landlord, and he will become the target of the Holy King's attack. Huang Demei said happily.

"Where is the Great Commander! You are a hero of the anti-Qing Dynasty, and the Holy King will command and reward you! I also ask the Grand Commander to let the brothers of the righteous army know that the captive army led by the Holy King will not confiscate everyone's property and confiscate it, nor will it rob everyone's land. Lin Fengxiang declared.

Huang Demei was completely relieved now. Originally, although he claimed to join the Taiping Holy Kingdom, he had always been a little worried, but after hearing Huang Feixing and Lin Fengxiang say this, he finally stopped worrying.

At this time, news came from fishermen that it was a diplomatic battle between the captive army from Guangdong and the Fujian sailors of the Manchu Qing Dynasty on Kinmen Island. The captive army and sailors suffered a little loss and retreated to Xiamen Island.

Lin Fengxiang was shocked!

After a short time, I saw Luo Xuan and Liang Peiyou leading hundreds of warships to dock at Xiamen Wharf. It turned out that the fort on Kinmen Island had several coastal guns, and the firepower was sharp, and there were many warships of the Manchu Four Towns Naval Division, and Luo Jian and others were too close, too light on the enemy, and suffered some losses for a while.

I heard that Xiamen Island had been conquered by the rebels, so Luo Xuan led the sailors to dock, preparing to think about the Fujian sailors on Kinmen Island in the long run.

At the moment, Huang Wei and Huang Demei and other leaders of the Little Knife Society's rebel army, seeing Luo Outline and Liang Peiyou, who were originally the leaders of the Heaven and Earth Society, naturally had a cordial relationship, and they all admired each other.

At this time, Cai Maozhao, the military advisor of the righteous army, came up with an idea to use the family members of the generals of the Qing army's naval division who were captured in Xiamen City to force the generals of the Qing army's naval division to surrender.

When Luo Xuan heard this, he was overjoyed and ordered to release dozens of Qing soldiers captured by the sailors and let them bring back the news. He also asked the scholars in Xiamen to copy the letters of their families and send people to distribute them everywhere.

For a time, the Qing army sailors on Kinmen Island were panicked, and the Qing army began to gradually flee back to Xiamen Island. (To be continued.) )
