Chapter 15 Dingdu Tianjing
"Bang Bang Bang" Yuan Hongmo's fist was like rain, knocking on the door of this Fu Shan Building, and after a while, a fine man in his thirties trembled and opened half of the door and leaned out from inside.
"Master Jun, the small shop confiscated the Qing Army!" As he spoke, the man stuffed a piece of broken silver into Yuan Hongmo's hand.
"What are you doing? How many people do you have in your family? But are they all there? The more flattering this person was, the more it made Yuan Hongmo suspicious.
At this time, Wang Jingyuan walked over, Yuan Hongmo immediately handed over the silver nugget and whispered a few words, while Wang Jingyuan looked at the man in the door from time to time. When the man saw this, he was so frightened that he immediately fell to his knees, sweating profusely.
"You get up, don't panic, I'll be ordered to search for the fish that has slipped through the net, you can open the door and ask your family to come out." Wang Jingyuan spoke.
The man didn't dare to delay, and hurriedly opened the door and welcomed Wang Jingyuan and the others into the house. With another soft call, a young woman with a boy came out of the backyard, and two or three helpers. Finally, a young woman came out, wearing a plain shirt and a pleated skirt, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes.
"It's all your family?" Wang Jingyuan thought to himself, this woman is probably really the only female champion in ancient and modern times.
"Yes, Master Jun, these are bad wives and cheap sisters, and these are cooks and helpers."
"Yongxiang, take someone in and have a look! Don't spoil a thing! Wang Jingyuan peeked at Fu Shanxiang from time to time, but he still wanted to make sure again, and said to the shopkeeper: "Fu Shanlou, is it your name?" ”
"The villain is called Fu Shanqi, the name of this store was given when his father was alive, and there will be afterglow in the house of goodness."
"Fu Shanqi? That Ling Mei called? Wang Jingyuan was about to ask, but Jiang Wan encouraged him.
"Back to Master Jun, the little girl's name is Fu Shanxiang!" This Fu Shanxiang is also not restrained, but he really looks like he can be the first female champion in the ages.
"Haha" Wang Jingyuan was a little embarrassed, and was about to chat with this rare talented woman for the ages, but he didn't want to lose his stomach and make a fuss, causing everyone to laugh.
I don't want this Fu Shanxiang to be quite understanding, and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, I still have some wine and food at home, so it's better to eat a bite." ”
Fu Shanqi saw that Wang Jingyuan had good intentions, and his sister said so, so he immediately said with a pleasant face, and said: "That's it, the little ones go and burn the silver carp in the backyard pool, and then steam a few pots of rice." ”
"Oh, sir, this wine boss has a good feeling! Let's eat him" Yuan Hongmo heard that there was fish to eat, and he immediately became interested.
"This is not good, our Taiping Army has an order" To be honest, Wang Jingyuan came to this world and did not eat a few good meals.
"Captain, let's not talk about this, no one knows" Lu Yaoling was also a little anxious.
"Then let's eat, Lao Lu called a few people to help, and then asked a few people to guard outside, taking turns. But to say well, not a drop of wine can be touched! ”
"Come on, brother, hurry up and get it, I want to stew soup, stew fish soup!" Yuan Hongmo was happy.
Taking advantage of the cooking, Wang Jingyuan deliberately asked Lu Yaoling to find a notice, and said to Fu Shanxiang: "Can Miss write, there are few literate people in our camp, can you help me copy a few points of this." ”
Fu Shanxiang agreed, Wang Jingyuan thought that the words of the only female champion in the ages were still commemorative, so he fooled Fu Shanxiang to sign it, but Jiang Wan was angry and kept pouting.
This fish soup eats the two pawns with round stomachs, and Fu Shanqi also fried a few catties of big eels.
Before leaving, Wang Jingyuan returned the piece of broken silver given by Fu Shanqi, touched his whole body again, and gave him the waterproof lighter that he still had to keep to express his gratitude. Speaking of this lighter, it is also the only thing he kept in the afterlife, and it was not damaged when he touched it in the water several times. Although he had some thoughts about Fu Shanxiang, this was not the time for him to call the shots, so he just said goodbye before leaving.
Jiangning did not last long after the city was broken, and all the gates of the outer city were conquered that night, and Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, Ji Wenyuan, Zhu Xikun and other armies gathered on Zhongzheng Street and Xihuamen Street, and only the city was left.
The next morning, Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang conquered Xihuamen, Xiaomen, and Bei'anmen, and entered the city, and 20,000 soldiers and their families under Jiangning General Xianghou and Deputy Commander Huo Longwu were killed, and the Qinhuai River turned red.
In the following days, the Taiping army in Jiangning was hunting and killing the fish that the Qing army had slipped through the net. And the meritorious ministers also began to be rewarded, Lin Shaozhang led the radical to break the west gate of the water, promoted to the Golden Four General System, and led the first four armies, which was equivalent to changing the substitute into the main force, and followed Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, and Luo Outline to fight Zhenjiang. Zeng Chunfa of the second general system of the wood was also promoted to the secretary of the East Palace, Li Zhenhui, the former commander of the second army on the left, was promoted two levels in a row and was promoted to the second general system of the wood, and Peng Yisong was less qualified and was promoted to the commander of the second army on the left. As for Wang Jingyuan, it made the new chief Li Zhenhui a little embarrassed.
The promotions of the Taiping Army were reported by the supervisors at all levels, the low-level positions were determined by the Shangshu of the Military Department of the Eastern Prince's Mansion, and the military commander and above were personally awarded by the Eastern Prince. When Lin Shaozhang was leaving, because Wang Jingyuan was newly attached, he had only been in the camp from Anqing for more than a month, and only reported a brigade commander. Wang Jingyuan's exploits are obvious to all, so he changed his report to the commander of the rear battalion, and the military department of the Eastern Wangfu did not approve it for the first time, and was appointed only after Li Zhenhui and Peng Yisong were promoted. This is also a common practice in the Kingdom of Heaven, the Kingdom of Heaven is the first brother of Guangxi, followed by the generals of the two lakes, and the last is the subordinates of Jiangnan Xinfu.
Wang Jingyuan's official position has been decided, and his subordinate Zhong Liangxiang has been promoted to a brigade commander. Hu Yongxiang was the first to ascend the city tower, and Yuan Hongmo killed Cheng Yu, the leader of the four products, and was promoted to the brigade commander. There are a total of five brigade commanders in the rear battalion, and there are two left, and Shangguan Peng Yisong personally ordered the two Guangxi brothers Ren Guixin. Another brigade commander, Wang Jingyuan, chose the former among Lu Yaoling and Xie Zhenke, while Xie Zhenke was left as the division commander and lieutenant of the guard, and Jiang Wan also reported in the name of Jiang Changshou as the division commander of the same brigade commander.
On the 24th day of February (the 20th day of the second month of the summer calendar), the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan and the king of the east Yang Xiuqing, accompanied by generals and officials at all levels, entered the city through the west gate of Shuixi. Sixty-four people carried the sedan chair of the king of heaven, and thirty-six people carried the king of the east, and each of the people under them decreased one by one, and the scale was very grand. Luan Jia temporarily lived in the Yamen of the Sanshan Street Domain, and greatly expanded the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion as the Tianwang Mansion, while the East King built the East Wang's Mansion in Huangnigang in the west of the city, and the North King and the Yiwang each elected a government office. The official capital of Jiangning, called Tianjing, changed to the Celestial calendar, and promulgated the "Tianchao Tianmu System".
The city gates were then closed and the household registration was checked. Men 25 people for a card, age from 20 to 50 called "card head", 20 below 50 more than the "tail", more than 50 called "old guy", young called "baby", all the head of the card into the Taiping Army, a total of 95 army, the main force of each army 5,000, the rest of each army 2,005. Twenty-five people are in a museum, and men are not allowed to enter the women's hall where they live, and fathers and daughters, husbands and wives can only speak outside the museum, and those who violate the order will be beheaded. The property of hundreds of thousands of households in Tianjing was confiscated, and millions of taels of gold and silver were obtained, and countless grains and straw were obtained.
On the 26th (the 22nd day of the second month of the summer calendar), the first commander of the left in front of the palace, Luo Xuan, and Wu Ruxiao, the general of Muguanzheng, defeated Yang Wending, the governor of Jiangsu, and occupied Zhenjiang. On the 27th (February 23rd of the summer calendar), Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang conquered Yangzhou and cut off the transportation of Cao in the south of the Yangtze River.
Soon after, the second army on the left moved to the east of the city, the new station was in the east gate, also called Chaoyangmen, after the Taiping army captured the city, it was garrisoned by Zhu Xikun, who had just been promoted to the third inspection point on the left, and Chen Zongsheng, the fifth commander of the right of the palace, also guarded the Chaoyang Gate. Zhu Xikun is an old hero of the Jintian Uprising, although Wang Jingyuan doesn't know how he fought, but it is certain that Zhu Xikun is definitely stronger than Lin Shaozhang. After the Taiping army conquered Tianjing, they chose to concentrate the most elite Lin and Li forces to force Yangzhou and sweep away the Qing army along the Yangtze River, while ignoring the key passes around Tianjing. Just a few days after the second army of the left army entered Chaoyangmen, Xiang Rong, the minister of the Qing army, and his subordinate Zhang Guoliang raised 20,000 troops from Wuchang to chase after them, occupied Shazigang 20 miles east of the city, and went around from Moling Pass to the east of Nanjing, and then built a camp in Xiaolingwei to firmly control the east of Tianjing City. The top level of the Qing army quickly realized the importance of Xiaolingwei, and reinforcements from Zhejiang and southern Jiangsu gathered here, and tens of thousands of troops camped in 19 for dozens of miles, in a vain attempt to surround Tianjing and blockade the Taiping army. When the top brass of the Taiping army discovered that it was too late for the Qing army's tricks, the elite was exhausted, and the remaining troops were not enough to uproot Xiang Rong's tens of thousands of troops, so they had to let him show off his might under Tianjing City. On March 12 (the ninth day of the third month of the summer calendar), Qi Shan, the minister of the Qing Dynasty, also rushed to the outside of Yangzhou with 20,000 troops to form an offensive against Yangzhou.
When the news of Lu Jianying's death and the Taiping Army's capital reached Beijing, Emperor Xianfeng was so angry that he gritted his teeth and ordered the Guangxi government to excavate the ancestral graves of three generations of Taiping Army leaders such as Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, and throw their bodies exposed. At the same time, Yiliang was appointed as the governor of Liangjiang, and before his arrival, Yang Wending, the governor of Jiangsu, was temporarily deputized. Xiang Rong, the minister of the Qincha, was ordered to go down the Yangtze River from the south bank of the Yangtze River, and tried to keep Suzhou and Changzhou. Because he was worried that the Taiping army would advance north into the Central Plains and attack Beijing, he ordered Jilin and Heilongjiang provinces to transfer 2,000 troops each, and Zhili to transfer 1,000 Miyun soldiers to Beijing for defense; 2,000 soldiers from Suiyuan and Ningxia rushed to the Huaiyang area and handed them over to Huicheng, the governor of Sichuan, who was preparing to prevent blockades in Jiangbei. 4,000 Shaanxi and Gansu troops were transferred to the junction of Shandong and Jiangsu to strengthen the defense. He was awarded a bachelor's degree in the cabinet of Shengbao, and assisted in military affairs with Qi Shan, the minister of the Qin Mission. Lu Xianji, the squire of the Ministry of Labor, returned to his hometown of Anhui to handle the regimental training and anti-suppression matters, and Yuan Jiasan, Hanlin editor Li Hongzhang and others took care of military affairs.
