Xianfeng three years, is also the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom three years, the second day of the first month, counting nine cold days, the wind is cold, just captured Wuchang is less than ten days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army of 100,000, with tens of thousands of family members, known as 500,000 people, from Wuchang to the east one after another. Riding five or six thousand warships, they went down the river mightily. This fleet is even more fluttering flags, gongs and drums, shaking the valley roaring, the river is boiling, the boats are connected, the sky covers the river, just like the dragon sees the head and does not see the tail, how mighty, how majestic!
And in the middle of the sailor on a tall building boat, fluttering the former army commander "True Mandate Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Left Army Chief General Yiwang Shi" yellow silk banner, two high-backed chairs are placed on the floor deck, the wind is howling on the river, the cold is pressing, the chair is draped with a tiger skin mattress taken from Wuchang City, several palace guards are wearing swords and sanitation, and in the middle sits the yellow wing king Shi Dakai with a robe and hood and the princess Chun'e wearing a gray squirrel skin cloak of a gold satin hundred sons, and two maids stand behind her. As the princess, Chun'e gave birth to Shi Dakai's second child during the siege of Wuchang, because the Taiping army won a series of battles and was named "Shengke", which was already full moon. As the royal family of the heavenly nobles, its status has long been different from what it used to be, although Chun'e herself has enough milk, but she still hired a wet nurse and handed over the child to the nurse to breastfeed.
At this time, Shi Dakai was chic and elegant, and there was no trace of the "bandit appearance" in the imperial court newspaper, but his appearance was more like an elegant young scholar, and he looked at the river, only to see the large and small ships on the river one after another, equipped with cannons, and the pioneer ships full of soldiers, were sailing smoothly under the water. The generals on it include Qin Rigang, the prime minister of Tianguanzheng, the commander Luo Gang, and Lai Hanying, the wife and brother of the king of heaven.
And the line of sight moved to the shore, among the trees hanging with thick snow, there was no movement, but Shi Dakai was very clear that on the north bank of the land division there were Chunguan Zheng Prime Minister Hu Yihuang's soldiers and horses, and the south bank of the land division was led by Li Kaifang, the prime minister of the local official, and Lin Fengxiang, the deputy prime minister of the heavenly official.
It can be said that all the elites of the Taiping army gathered on the banks of the river, and the good generals who had fought a hundred battles since the Jintian uprising were now all under the unified command of the king of his wings. Before leaving Wuchang, he had already convened a meeting of the generals to hold an Eastern Expedition meeting, and issued the marching routes of the troops and horses on land and water, the Northern Route Army mainly attacked Qizhou, Anqing, Hezhou, and Jiangpu, the Southern Route Army mainly attacked Jiujiang, Chizhou, Tongling, Wuhu, and Taiping, and the naval division sailed along the river, striving to join Jiangning within a month.
And Jiangning is the purpose of their trip. The reason why Jiangning was chosen, in addition to being close to the prosperous place in the south of the Yangtze River, is that Emperor Hongwu laid the foundation of the Ming Dynasty in Jiangning, which was known as "Jiqing" at the time, and launched the Northern Expedition in Jifu, which achieved the immortal cause of expelling Mongolia and recovering China.
At this time, the high-spirited Shi Dakai standing on the bow of the ship once again echoed that when leaving Wuchang, he led the generals to the palace of Emperor Guan Temple to bid farewell to the king of heaven, and the king of heaven Yin Yin told him.
"Brother, Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother bless me, my brother will be successful in this trip. I hope you will be kind to the soldiers, love the people, and on the day of the city, do not kill or disturb the people, and I should listen to the sound here. Once Jiangning is taken, they will drive eastward, and the day of meeting is not far away. ”
After his resignation, the king of the east and the king of the north were sent to the wharf by the river, and the king of the east, who was not close to him in the past, seemed extremely close, took his hand and said:
"Seventh brother, I will deliver it to you with the elite of the whole army, and the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty will be successful or unsuccessful. Although the Qing demon has been defeated again and again, the main force has not been lost, and the demon officials along the way have fortified layer by layer, and they must also pay attention to the fact that they should celebrate my brother's success when they break through Jiangning! My sixth brother and I will also set out to support my brother. ”
And the king of the north also took his hand and said with a grin.
"Seventh brother, your vanguard army this time is not as good as the two or three thousand people at the time of the King of the West, you led an army of 60,000, and it is divided into two land divisions in the north and south, and the middle water division is mighty, and it is not just to attack a city, along the river docks Jiujiang, Anqing, Wuhu, Nanjing and other dozens of places are all up to you to clean up, it is indeed a long way to go. The fifth brother is gone, this burden must be picked up by you, and the sixth brother can only envy your immortal exploits, haha! Come aboard, brother, see you in Jiang Ning! ”
As soon as he thought of all this, Shi Dakai was excited, completely forgetting all the unhappiness, at this time, he was in command of tens of thousands of elites in the kingdom of heaven, recalled his ambitions in life, and thought that when he read history books since he was a child, he never had no desire to be a good general in the world one day. Today, as the commander of the 60,000-strong army, he led the army to the east, and saw that half of the country was about to be recovered, how not to make him very excited.
The whole person was very excited, and he was very proud, and he couldn't help but whisper Yue Fei's "Man Jianghong".
"Angry hair rushes to the crown, leaning on the railing, Xiaoxiao rain rest. Raise your eyes, look up to the sky and roar, and be fierce. Thirty fame, dust and earth, eight thousand miles of clouds and moons. Don't wait, the young man's head is white, and he is empty and sad......"
At this point, I thought that when Yue Fei recovered the Central Plains and filled in "Man Jianghong", he was already in his thirties, and he, the Wing King Shi Dakai, was only twenty-two years old! He will achieve far more brilliant deeds than Yue Fei, and when he thinks of this, he can't even stop groaning.
Chun'e glanced at Shi Dakai, and said with a smile:
"Brother Seventh is so interested, are you making poetry?"
Shi Dakai, who knew that his daughter-in-law was illiterate, did not despise him because of this, and then disgusted with the sweetness and bitterness of his "big-footed mother-in-law" who came all the way from Guangxi, but explained with a smile:
"I'm reciting a poem by Yue Wumu, have you heard of Yue Wumu?"
How many people in the country don't know Yue Wumu? Chun'e hurriedly nodded and smiled:
"How can I not hear of Yue Wumu, Yue Wumu vs. Jin Bing, who doesn't know, but unfortunately he was later killed by Qin Hui, and this Northern Expedition to fight for gold will naturally be abandoned halfway, Seventh Brother, you said that people like Yue Wumu, why would anyone want to harm him, is there no one thinking about the Great Song Dynasty?"
The speaker was unintentional, but it sounded intentional, Shi Dakai was stunned for a moment when he heard his daughter-in-law's words, and suddenly smiled bitterly:
"Yes, Yue Wumu is such a character, there are still people who hate him and want to kill him, this world is ......"
With his eyes half-closed, Shi Dakai's heart, which was still full of pride, sank again, and he thought of the disagreement and unhappiness with Dongwang and others, and even just a few days ago, because of the incident at the Hankou dock, he really pointed to Dongwang's short-sightedness, so that Dongwang was very angry.
Isn't it short-sighted?
Although the price of the foreign gun is higher, if you can get tens of thousands of foreign guns, why worry about driving the great cause, but the king of the east is heartbroken for millions of taels of silver, and he has to kill chickens and eggs, so short-sighted, it is really ...... What's more, even if you kill chickens and take eggs, you should wait until the foreign gun is in hand before you can kill them.
Even from Shi Dakai's point of view, he prefers to raise pigs than killing chickens and taking eggs, isn't that person in Shanghai? Just wait until he hits Shanghai in the future, and he can directly raid his home, where can he flee to when the time comes?
Now it's good, not only have no people killed, but even the tens of thousands of foreign guns are intact and ready to use, and after this explosion, only two or three percent remain, which is really ......
Thinking of Dongwang's annoyance, especially his accusations, it seems that if he continues to develop like this, will he become the next Yue Wumu?
What if one day he becomes the next Yue Wumu? was calm, and Shi Dakai, who originally seemed to be in high spirits, became more and more dull, and there was still the interest of pointing out the country before.
The river is surging, the sky is silent, but the sound of the wind and water is heard, and it is sent directly to Shi Dakai's water and land division to the east. Two days later, its land vanguard came to the city of Huangzhou, which is the place where Su Shi of the Northern Song Dynasty once degraded, and he left a poem that will be famous for future generations, such as "Nian Nujiao Chibi Nostalgia", "Former Chibi Fu", "Later Chibi Fu".
The rumbling of cannons on the advance ship of the sailors broke the silence of the river for two days. However, as soon as they heard the sound of artillery, the officers and soldiers in Huangzhou City fled, and there was no resistance at all. Then Hu Yihuang of the Northern Route Army conquered Qishui and met with the sailor in Qizhou, Hu Yihuang got on the handsome ship and saw the Yiwang and laughed:
"His Royal Highness the Winged King, this way is like entering a no-man's land, I have never seen a demon officer and demon soldier, where is this fighting, just in a hurry."
The subordinates' words made Shi Dakai barely put away some uncertain mood, and laughed:
"In this way, the qi of this Manchu demon head has been exhausted, it seems that we jumped out of the Xunzhou Mountains and broke into such a vast world, this road is the right one."
