Early the next morning, there was still wind and rain in the city of Guangzhou, but it was much smaller, and the streets of Dongcheng were full of oceans. Last night www.biquge.info, the Taiping Holy Army opened the east gate, and the rainwater from outside the city poured into the city along the city gate, causing the low-lying places around the east city to be full of water.

Unexpectedly, this ancient city wall is not only a military fortress, but also has a flood control function. But I'm less knowledgeable! Feng Yunshan, accompanied by Luo Xuan, Zuo Zongtang, Xu Xiangguang, Cui Datong and others, entered Guangzhou City from the east gate.

Lin Fengxiang led Liu Shengbang, Bai Huihuai, Chen Tianshi and other holy army generals, as well as the people of the Xu family led by Xu Daguang, to greet them in the city.

"Xiangguang, you were originally a Taoist in Guiping, Guangxi, proficient in civil affairs, and a native of Guangzhou. Now my Taiping Holy Army has been set in Guangzhou, everything is in ruins, and now the military disaster in the city has just passed, and it is a flood, a mess, and it is urgently needed to be governed by Zhang Luo, a person who understands political affairs and people's livelihood. This king ordered you to undertake the announcement for the second right side of the temple, and together with Ji Gao, take care of the civil affairs of Guangzhou for this king, how about it? Feng Yunshan once said that as long as the Xu family can help break the city, they will give Xu Xiangguang a great credit, and now it is a bit of a taste of rewarding meritorious deeds, but the main thing is to use Xu's connections and Xu Xiangguang's governance experience to settle down in Guangzhou as soon as possible. He also inquired that this Xu Xiangguang had a good official reputation when he was an official in Guangxi, but in Guangzhou, he still needs to beware of him relying on his power to give the Xu family benefits and strengthen his own power.

"Thank you for your trust! Xiangguang will do his best, smear the liver and brain, and return Guangzhou Qingning. Xu Xiangguang hurriedly knelt down and bowed, only to shout long live, and completely regarded Feng Yunshan as the emperor.

"The flood in the city depends on Xiangguang to organize the people in the city for treatment, and if there is not enough manpower, you can also ask the outline brothers for help. One thing is that plagues are prone to occur after floods, so it is important to explain to the people in the city that the water must be boiled before drinking! In addition, find more lime and sprinkle it everywhere in the dirty corners and low-lying areas of the city to kill viruses and bacteria. Feng Yunshan admonished.

"Xiangguang understands. It's just, Holy King, what are viruses and bacteria? The last four words Feng Yunshan said, Xu Xiangguang was puzzled.

"You will be a child of the plague, and you will harm people everywhere, and you can restrain it with lime." Feng Yunshan knew that he couldn't explain clearly, and he didn't bother to explain too much.

Seeing that Lin Fengxiang, Liu Shengbang and the others were all injured and braved the rain to greet him, Feng Yunshan took pity on the soldiers and asked them to go back to rest earlier, just let Lin Fengxiang and Liu Shengbang stay with him.

Walking all the way to the city, Lin Fengxiang introduced the battle situation last night all the way.

"Holy King, according to preliminary statistics this morning, the capture of Guangzhou City this time has caused more than 5,000 casualties among the soldiers of our Holy Army, and the detailed estimate will not come out until tomorrow." With so many brothers dead, Lin Fengxiang's voice was a little low.

"Annihilated more than 4,000 soldiers of the Eight Banners of the Qing Demon, and there were no prisoners. More than 2,000 soldiers of the Qing Demon Green Battalion were killed, 4,000 Qing Demon Green Battalion soldiers were captured, and 12,000 people were brave. Speaking of the results of killing the enemy, Lin Fengxiang was much more interested, and continued excitedly: "In addition, he also killed the Guangzhou general Mu Teen and the deputy commander and the assistant leader, as well as more than ten deputy generals, guerrillas, garrisons and thousands of generals were killed on the spot, and all the demon officials in the city, except for a few who committed suicide, the rest were captured. ”

However, he still let Bai Gui, the new governor of the Qing Demon, and the envoy of the superintendent and a few partial generals and guerrillas of Panyu Zhixian escaped. Last night, Lin led the holy army to attack the Guide Gate in the southwest corner, and listened to the surrendered guard that the governor Bai Gui led more than 1,000 Qing soldiers to escape from the Guide Gate, and brought several foreigners with him when he left the city. Lin Fengxiang continued.

"Bai Gui? Took a foreigner out of the city and ran away? Feng Yunshan suddenly felt that this scene was so strikingly similar. In the history of the previous life, when Bai Gui was the governor, the British launched the second Opium War, under the pretext of the "Yarrow" incident to send troops to attack the city of Guangzhou, when the governor of Liangguang Ye Mingchen was captured, the GD governor Bai Gui and the Guangzhou general Mukedenne surrendered to the British, Bai Gui also formed a local puppet regime under British rule to govern Guangzhou, and became a foreigner lackey. Now, he has fled with foreigners, where is he singing? Feng Yunshan didn't think much about it.

"Holy King, the other thing is the seizure of the city, it's really... It's just too much! Although it hasn't been cleaned up yet, Lin Mou took a few preliminary glances last night, and he felt shocked. Lin Fengxiang said.

"Oh, Brother Lin, who can make our great enemies not change color at the moment, are all captured in shock? The king was a little curious. Let's sort it out and look at the list. Feng Yunshan turned his head and asked Luo Xuan, "Brother Luo, after the city was broken last night, you asked people to contact the Heaven and Earth Society rebels in the north and west of the city, how did you settle down?" ”

"Holy King, after the city was broken, I asked a group of old brothers to persuade the rebels on both sides to stop the siege and return to the camp to rest. Due to the heavy wind and rain last night, it is estimated that the righteous army has not yet discovered that our holy army has broken through the city of Guangzhou. Luo Xuan replied.

Is that okay too? Feng Yunshan couldn't help but smile bitterly! Fortunately, this righteous army has basically been controlled by the Taiping Holy Army, otherwise, they would have used them to desperately attack the city to attract the firepower of the Qing army, and waited for the Holy Army to sneak attack and break through the city of Guangzhou, but they did not inform them, and they would not share the pie if they captured so much, but they were afraid that they would cause trouble.

Li Wenmao's troops had been persuaded by Fan Ruzeng of the fine battalion to join the Holy Army; He Lu is even more fine; The rest is the big boss Chen Kai. It's too late to let Lu Shunde probe the wind, this morning they will definitely know that Guangzhou City has been broken by the rebels, and they must take the initiative to tell them before that.

Feng Yunshan thought about it, so he asked Luo Outline to send someone to inform the rebels that the holy army had broken the city, and invited the leaders of the rebels to come into the city, and there was something important to discuss.

Seeing that no one opened all kinds of shops on both sides of the street, Feng Yunshan knew that the people and merchants were still afraid, and the doors of every household were closed. He turned back to the crowd and said: "The Holy Army has initially decided on Guangzhou City, and there are still many seizures that have not been cleaned up, and the people do not dare to go out these days, so it is better to put the whole city under martial law for a few days by the way, and then resume normal trading in the city when it is almost over." ”

Seeing that Luo Xuan, Lin Fengxiang and the others agreed, Feng Yunshan said to Zuo Zongtang and Xu Xiangguang again: "Ji Gao, Xiangguang, you two don't have to follow this king." First of all, I went to organize people to send some rice and grain to the homes of the people who lacked food, and informed and publicized the policy of our Taiping Holy Country. This is a very important matter, so let's do it first. ”

Zuo Zongtang and Xu Xiangguang hurriedly agreed to come down and led a group of holy soldiers to leave in a hurry.

…….

Outside the city, the leaders of the rebel army were shocked when they heard that the holy army had occupied the city of Guangzhou last night.

He Lu, Li Wenmao, Lu Shunde and others were naturally overjoyed, and immediately agreed to bring a small number of guards into the city with the messenger.

Chen Kai is here, but there are differences.

Monk Kuang Neng followed the advice of Zhang Bashan and Lu Shunde and decided to lead his men to join the Holy Army. He also persuaded the big leader Chen Kai to join the Taiping Holy Army to fight against the Qing demon.

However, Chen Xianliang and Lin Huanlong were very angry, and they felt that the main reason for breaking through Guangzhou City was the credit of the righteous army, and they had lost tens of thousands of righteous troops. They all encouraged Chen Kai to lead the righteous army into the city.

Chen Kai is in a dilemma.

But in the end, he was still moved by Chen Xianliang and Lin Xunlong, thinking that the Holy Army was just using the Righteous Army and wanted to annex the Righteous Army. And the rebels killed and injured countless brothers, but in exchange for the end of empty-handed, it is unacceptable in any way.

Lin Huanlong also said that once he joined the Taiping Holy Army, his brothers would be scattered everywhere, and all their belongings would be handed over to the holy treasury. These, dozens of small leaders under Chen Kai immediately made a fuss, and they all begged the big leader Chen Kai not to join the holy army and lead them to rebel against the Qing Dynasty on their own.

By noon, news came that Chen Kai had finally decided not to join the Holy Army. He asked the Taiping Holy Army to give up the north of Guangzhou and hand it over to the Righteous Army. The two sides are bounded by Tin Ping Street, and each complements each other.

When Feng Yunshan heard the news, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. Sure enough, this person is selfish, and he can't blame Chen Kai for them, and he is indeed a little improper. But the matter of ceding Guangzhou City was not negotiable. But Feng Yunshan knew that these rebels were to put it bluntly, although they were anti-Qing, they also had the purpose of making a fortune, and they would not give up if they didn't loot some officials and gentry and rob some property, and they would also survive.

But now that the entire surrounding area of Guangzhou Mansion has been regarded by Feng Yunshan as his own territory, how can there be any reason for others to eat the meat in his mouth? Feng Yunshan couldn't help but have a headache.

At this time, Tan Shaoguang, who was guarding the Liede Fort on the edge of the Pearl River, sent someone to deliver urgent news. In the vicinity of the fort, it was found that more than 1,000 people including Bai Gui, the acting governor of Guangdong, had escaped on civilian boats, Tan Shaoguang ordered the fort to open fire, sinking several sailing ships, and the remaining Qing ships were also damaged, and they were about to be completely annihilated.

Tan Shaoguang heard that the Holy King once mentioned that he would not fight with foreigners before he occupied the two Guangzhous. The Western warships were far away and did not attack the forts, so Tan Shaoguang did not fire at the Western warships, and watched as he picked them up.

Feng Yunshan was furious! But he thought about it, and there was an idea that could send Chen Kai and other rebels away and give foreigners a headache again.
