Chapter 33 The Northern Expedition to Luzhou
Xing Weng is Yao Ying's number, no wonder Wang Zhiyuan is not familiar with it, but some people still make idiots from time to time, Yuan Hongmo said inappropriately: "Who is Yao Ying?" ”
"Xing Weng is a famous literary master in modern times, try to learn ancient literature from Mr. Yao Nai, a giant Confucian in Tongcheng, and get its essence. Yu Daoguang served Mr. as a junior in the county, and Daoguang stayed in Taiwan with Mr. for 20 years. In the Qing-British War, Fujian, Zhejiang and Guangdong all lost their land and lost their divisions, Mr. Du and Da Honga defended Taiwan repeatedly broke the Yingyi, but after Jiangning signed the contract, Yingyi and the magnates framed the Taiwanese officials, Mr. and Da Honga were dismissed successively, and the rest returned to Li. Long Feng said eloquently.
Wang Jiongyuan only remembered that there were people who wrote "Chronicles of the Heavenly Kingdom" in later generations who had a legend of the dragon and phoenix in the biography of the sage who took the exam, but he didn't expect that he was still Yao Ying's high apprentice! followed Long Fengwei's words and said: "Mr. Yao is a hero of the Qingying War, and he is on a par with Lord Lin Zexu!" ”
"Oh, I hate foreigners the most in my life, Mr. Yao turned out to be the same as Lord Lin, he is like Yue Fei's grandfather, loyal to the country! I Yuan Hongmo will definitely go to his old man's grave and kowtow a few times if he has a chance! "Yuan Hongmo is a bloody man, and the people he admires most are Yue Fei and Lin Zexu.
The heroes who "definitely have the opportunity" to resist foreign humiliation and protect the country and love the people are still worthy of respect. Wang Jiongyuan turned his head and arched his hand to Long Fengwei and said, "I didn't expect Mr. Long to be an anti-British righteous man!" Respectfully, respectfully! ”
Long Fengwei saw that Wang Jiongyuan had some insight, not like the bandits and hooligans who didn't know etiquette, so he was greatly relieved, and said with a smile: "False praise, barely counted as a pawn, by the way, I don't know what the little general is called!" ”
"Our adults are the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Golden Eight General System, originally named Wang Jiongyuan, and later changed his name to Huang Jiongyuan because of avoidance!" Jiang Wan replied while writing on the ground.
Is he your father, or is he your uncle? I want you to rush to answer, and go back and clean you up! Wang Jiongyuan slandered thousands of times in his heart.
"The name is good, the knife belongs to gold, it originally belonged to the earth, gold, fire, water and soil, if it can be changed back to the king's surname, twelve is wood, and it can still be the number of the five elements." Long Daxian casually gestured a few times.
"It's not worth mentioning!"
"Mr. can also tell fortunes, or give me a fortune!" Yuan Hongmo, who was mentally handicapped and forgot to take medicine, interjected.
"Haha, this general is honest and honest, but he is a rare fierce general. The little general came to the humble house late at night, and Xiucai knew the general idea. Today, Likang Yongqianjia IV is peaceful, the country is rich and the people are sufficient, and the four seas are peaceful. However, in modern times, the government was corrupt, land was annexed, and disasters were frequent, and the national strength was weakened. Yangyi took the opportunity to invade the east, seized our land, killed my people, and demanded a huge amount of money. However, the royal magnates betrayed the country to seek glory and repeatedly harmed the loyal and good, and Lin Zexu and Yao Yinggong's ambitions were difficult to express. Good generals fight in civil strife, and civil ministers fight in the court! Long Feng Bian loudly counted the sins of the Qing court, which made the reckless generals completely see the ugliness of the Qing court, and their blood boiled for a while.
"The young general doesn't dare to say anything, but he asks for the assistance of Mr. to clear the world and revitalize China!"
"I don't dare to be an assistant, thanks to the general's love, I am like-minded with the general, and there is only one word in my chest to teach the general!" Long Fengwei said modestly.
"What's that?"
Long Feng Wei didn't answer, but wrote on the ground, and everyone saw that it was a big "human" word.
"It's this 'person', Han Gaozu got Xiao He Cao Shen, Zhou Bo Fan started from Pei, had to stay with Marquis Zhang Liang and Hanzhong was crowned king, and Han Xin, Marquis of Huaiyin, was called emperor. Zhu Hongwu won Xu Da, often met spring and won the world, and Liu Bowen established the world for 200 years. Generals should be 'people'-oriented, and only by gathering talents from all over the world can they rise! Lao Xiucai is stupid, and he only learned a 'person' from Xing Weng in half his life, and the general's daughter buys bones, and he is willing to sell them to the general. ”
"Okay, this character book is accepted! Please also ask sir to be a scholar in my army! ”
Wang Jiongyuan was assisted by Long Fengwei, so he ordered him to be in charge of military affairs. Wangjiang was initially decided, he didn't fight outside to do more panhuan, and immediately ordered the old and young of Longfeng Zhai to pack up and lead the troops back to the county seat.
On the part of the Northern Expeditionary Army, it was rumored in the previous war report that on August 26, the important town of Kezhili had defeated the Qing Qincha minister, Wenyuange University Scholar, and Zhili Governor Nerjing, and on the same day, they occupied Shahe, Xuanlian Keren County, Longping, Baixiang, Zhaozhou, and Luancheng. Within the reach of the soldiers, it will be destroyed, and it will be broken day and night, and the Qing court will be shaken. Xianfeng issued an order to arrest Nerjing and go to prison, after beheading the prison. The urgent order of Prince Hui Mianyu was ordered to be the general, and the former minister of the Imperial Palace, the prince of Horqin County, was the Counsellor Minister, commanding the Beijing soldiers and the elite Mongolian troops to go out of Beijing. Wang Jiongyuan estimated the days, and at this time, the two armies were afraid that there would be a fierce battle on the outskirts of Tianjin.
Compared with the outstanding results of the Northern Expeditionary Army, the Yangzhou defenders in the east operated dismally. In February 27, in Yangzhou, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang went on a northern expedition in early April, and Zeng Lichang was the commander to defend Yangzhou. Yangzhou, the Qing Dynasty canal land, the tax city, Fujian and Zhejiang Governor Huicheng, the Department of Caoyun Inspector Wenjing, Caoyun Governor Fuji, the left deputy capital Yu Shi Lei Yicheng, the minister of the Qin Mission, Qi Shan, etc., have come to attack. Zeng Lichang relied on the city to hold on to the canal, and defeated the enemy several times before and after, but he was never able to break the siege.
The most dazzling thing is that the winged king Shi Dakai commanded the Western Expeditionary Army, including the Jinba General System Wang Zhiyuan Kewangjiang, Dongliu, Jiande, Guichi, Zongyang, and Shipai have all become the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this time, when the autumn grain was put into storage, Shi Dakai took the lead in advocating the collection of grain per mu, and told the good people to pay grain and pay taxes as before, and changed the policy of returning the initial harvest to the public, and the people of Anhui Province were excited about it, and they rushed to pay grain and taxes to township officials at all levels, and the military rations of the Taiping Army were sufficient.
On the ninth day of the first month, someone from the Anqing base camp announced that the Wing King would convene a meeting of the generals in Anhui in Anqing on the eighth day of the first month of this month. Wang Jiongyuan entrusted government affairs to Long Fengwei and Pan Hefu, and entrusted military affairs to Yuan Hongmo and Lu Yaoling, led Jiang Wan, and was escorted to Anqing by Xie Zhenke and Peng Dashun. Peng Dashun gave the bun shop to his neighbors yesterday, and he didn't have much to worry about, so he moved into Wang Jiongyuan's camp that night.
Wangjiang is not far from Anqing, and it will arrive in the middle of the day. Anqing has undergone a rectification by the Yiwang, and its appearance has changed greatly, and many residents have returned to the city when they heard that the Taiping Army's new policy is beneficial to the people, and the city has gradually become vibrant. The Anqing military conference was convened by all the generals in Anhui, and none of Shi Xiangzhen and Wei Junbu of the expedition to Hubei participated, and only Lin Qirong of Jiujiang sent a general to attend the meeting. Without the attendance of many national sects, Wang Jiongyuan finally had a seat in the hall of the Yiwang Mansion, but it was still behind the seat of Hou Yutian, the second deputy general of Jin.
At this meeting, Wang Jiongyuan saw many familiar faces, in addition to the officials who were too familiar to be more familiar, such as Shi Dakai, Hu Yihuang, and Zeng Tianyang, as well as Huang Wenjin, who had worked together in the Taiping Mansion, he was also promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Right Sixth Army. Then there is Ye Yunlai of the Second Army, who is also on the same level as Wang Jiongyuan and took over from Liang Xiuren as the general system of the Second Army.
There are also two acquaintances on the seat, that is, Xu Zongyang, the seventh commander on the left of the two former governors' palaces, and Zuo Chongji, the twenty-eighth commander on the right of the palace. Wang Jiongyuan greeted him diligently, but Xu Zongyang and Zuo Chongji didn't treat him very well, but they were slapped twice.
Xing Weng is Yao Ying's number, no wonder Wang Jingyuan is not familiar with it, but some people still make idiots from time to time, Yuan Hongmo said inappropriately: "Who is Yao Ying?" ”
"Xing Weng is a famous literary master in modern times, try to learn ancient literature from Mr. Yao Nai, a giant Confucian in Tongcheng, and get its essence.

Long Feng said eloquently.
Wang Jingyuan only remembered that there were people who wrote "Chronicles of the Heavenly Kingdom" in later generations who had a legend of the dragon and phoenix in the biography of the sage who took the exam, but he didn't expect that he was still a disciple of Yao Ying! followed Long Fengwei's words and said: "Mr. Yao is a hero of the Qingying War, and he is on a par with Lord Lin Zexu!" ”
"Oh, I hate foreigners the most in my life, Mr. Yao turned out to be the same as Lord Lin, he is like Yue Fei's grandfather, loyal to the country!

The most dazzling thing is that the winged king Shi Dakai commanded the Western Expeditionary Army, including the Jinba General System Wang Jingyuan Kewangjiang, Dongliu, Jiande, Guichi, Zongyang, and Shipai have all become the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this time, when the autumn grain was put into storage, Shi Dakai took the lead in advocating the collection of grain per mu, and told the good people to pay grain and pay taxes as before, and changed the policy of returning the initial harvest to the public, and the people of Anhui Province were excited about it, and they rushed to pay grain and taxes to township officials at all levels, and the military rations of the Taiping Army were sufficient.
On the ninth day of the first month, someone from the Anqing base camp announced that the Wing King would convene a meeting of the generals in Anhui in Anqing on the eighth day of the first month of this month. Wang Jingyuan entrusted government affairs to Long Fengwei and Pan Hefu, entrusted military affairs to Yuan Hongmo and Lu Yaoling, led Jiang Wan, and escorted to Anqing by Xie Zhenke and Peng Dashun. Peng Dashun gave the bun shop to his neighbors yesterday, and he didn't have much to worry about, and moved into Wang Jingyuan's camp that night.
Wangjiang is not far from Anqing, and it will arrive in the middle of the day. Anqing has undergone a rectification by the Yiwang, and its appearance has changed greatly, and many residents have returned to the city when they heard that the Taiping Army's new policy is beneficial to the people, and the city has gradually become vibrant. The Anqing military conference was convened by all the generals in Anhui, and none of Shi Xiangzhen and Wei Junbu of the expedition to Hubei participated, and only Lin Qirong of Jiujiang sent a general to attend the meeting. Without the attendance of many national sects, Wang Jingyuan finally had a seat in the hall of the Yiwang Palace, but it was still behind the seat of Hou Yutian, the second deputy general of Jin.
At this meeting, Wang Jingyuan saw many familiar faces, in addition to the officials such as Shi Dakai, Hu Yihuang, and Zeng Tianyang, who were too familiar to be more familiar, as well as Huang Wenjin, who had worked together in the Taiping Mansion, he was also promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Right Sixth Army. Then there is Ye Yunlai of the Second Army, who is also on the same level as Wang Jingyuan and took over the position of Liang Xiuren as the general system of the Second Army.
There are also two acquaintances on the seat, that is, Xu Zongyang, the seventh commander on the left of the two former governors' palaces, and Zuo Chongji, the twenty-eighth commander on the right of the palace. Wang Jingyuan greeted him diligently, but Xu Zongyang and Zuo Chongji didn't treat him very well, but they were slapped twice.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the Qing Demons in today's world are corrupt and incompetent, and my heavenly kingdom is thriving, which is in line with the Heavenly Father's heavenly opportunity to send all the sons to the lower realm to eliminate demons!" At the beginning of the military discussion, Hu Yihuang came out to pat the kings' ass, only to hear him say: "A month ago, the Northern Expeditionary Army Lin Li Jisan, Prime Minister Keshanxi, Pingyang, Hongdong, and Lucheng, broke into the province of Sinli, and Beiyan was shaken!" And the Western Expeditionary Army, under the leadership of Shi Guozong, Kejiujiang, arrived in Hubei, and Wu Xuan was just around the corner! And I have been living here for a long time, and I have not made an inch, how can I see my father and brother! ”
After the king set the capital of Tianjing, he changed Beijing to Beiyan, and changed Zhili Province to Sinli Province, while Shanxi and Wu Xuan avoided Feng Yunshan and Wei Changhui. Wang Jingyuan guessed that Hu Yihuang might propose to raise troops in Luzhou and capture central and northern Anhui.
However, as said, except for the so-called "Battle to Welcome the King" before the founding of the country, he Hu Yihuang did have few great achievements, and wherever the army fought, he followed with his relatives and troops. At the same time, Lin Fengxiang, the guard of the imperial forest, and Li Kaifang, the supervisor of the army, had already surpassed him, and separated from the position of deputy prime minister of Tianguan and prime minister of the local official.
At this moment, Hu Yihuang seemed to be desperately chasing after him, only to see him impassionedly said: "At this time, the autumn ripe grain is full, it is the time for us to prepare for the war, the new governor of the Qing Demon Jiang Zhongyuan, now Hubei is tired of running for his life, and the armies in central Anhui are not subordinate to each other, and this generation can be attacked!" ”
"I am willing to follow the prime minister to destroy the demons!" The generals seemed to feel something, and shouted in unison. Hu Yihuang said is true, at this time there is the Anqing Taiping Army in the south of Anhui, there is the North Anhui Twist Army, the generals of Anhui Province are stretched, the Qing court had to transfer the guest army to help, for a time the southern Anhui soldiers, the Hanzhong soldiers, the Guide soldiers, the regimental training soldiers, the Eight Banners, and the Jiangbei battalion soldiers are scattered and deployed, and they are not under their control.
"Okay, Prime Minister Hu Cheng has been fighting for a long time, and he is on the mission of the northern expedition! In the name of the chief general of the left army and the superintendent of the western expedition, this king ordered you to be the main general of the northern expedition, and Zeng Tianyang, the prime minister of the autumn official and the prime minister, as the deputy general, and Keri led the division to Anhui! Later, this king will write to the king of heaven and the king of the east, asking for the mandate of heaven for the prime minister! Everything was as arranged, and the Winged King announced the appointment of the ally.
Later, Liu Chengfang, the prime minister of the Yifu Mansion, was officially assigned the combat mission, commanding Xu Zongyang to guard Dongliu and Jiande on his behalf, and the general system was Wang Jingyuan of the Heng Dynasty to guard the river. Huang Wenjin's right Sixth Army was subsumed under Zeng Tianyang's account, and the Eighth and Second Armies on the right. The twenty-eighth commander on the right of the palace is the third and ninth on the right, Liu E is the fifth on the right, and Cheng Ying, the fourth deputy general of Jin, is the seventh on the right, with a total of about more than 10,000 people from the six armies marching north.
Wang Jingyuan didn't expect to be drawn again, and wanted to rest in Wangjiang for a while, so he asked to fight in Hubei, and Wuchang was the main battlefield of the Kingdom of Heaven in recent years. However, it is not difficult to explain that after several battles such as Ruizhou and Tianzhen, Wang Jingyuan is already recognized as a brave and good general in the Western Expeditionary Army. There are also 3,000 people in the Eighth Army on the right, which is more than half of the holy soldiers of the other armies. A few days ago, Shi Xiangzhen had begged Zeng Tianyang but couldn't. Although Zeng Tianyang is a well-known good man, he can't lend his subordinates to others.
The northern expedition to Luzhou was very urgent, and that night Shi Weiheng led his troops to take over Wangjiang with Wang Jingyuan, and the next day the whole army rushed to Anqing to wait for orders.
On October 10, Hu Yihuang, with Zuo Chongji as the vanguard, took the lead in attacking Jixian Pass, 20 miles north of Anqing City, defeated Zhang Xiyu, the envoy of the Qing Dynasty, and killed 300 people under Mei Guocheng who were attacked by the Qing guerrillas, occupying the key pass.
On the 13th, Zeng Tianyang, Hou Yutian, and Cheng Ying led the sixth on the right, the eighth on the right, and the second on the second to attack Tongcheng. Zhang Xiyu, the defender of the Qing army, did not dare to fight and closed the city to defend it. On the same day and night, the Taiping army dug tunnels and buried earth mines to collapse the south gate city wall several zhang, the right Eighth Army took the lead in attacking the city, injuring dozens of people to occupy the whole city, and the enemy general Zhang Xiyu took the county people to wait for the city to come out.
