The long-distance attack on Fuzhou was by no means a whim of Lin Haifeng, but a well-arranged strategic action.

In the era when Lin Haifeng lived before, the peasant uprisings of all dynasties were something that everyone talked about, and the vigorous operation of the propaganda machine made what you didn't want to know will also be familiar to you. What's more, he's a person with a heart.

Under Lin Haifeng's prompting, Shi Dakai of Xilu contacted the Tiandihui branch forces gathered in northern Guizhou and southern Hunan, He Lu, the leader of the Guangdong Triad, Hu Youlu and Zhu Hongying of the Guangxi Triad, and Jiao Yujing, Xu Xianggui, and Xu Yuegui, who secretly gathered people to raise trouble in the name of the Southern Hunan Zhaojuntang, which greatly shortened the time for recovering southern Hunan.

Similarly, the Red Turban Army led by Qu Zhenhan and Jin Peiquan in southern Zhejiang also gave great help to his Eastern Expeditionary Army. When besieging Hangzhou, digesting the area under his control, and vigorously training the Red Army troops, he did not forget that he had accepted his orders and was creating a foundation in the mountainous areas of western Fujian, that is, Lin Wanqing, a well-known "bandit leader" in Fujian who had been pursued and suppressed by the Manchus for a long time.

Despite the repeated repression of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the leaders of the Xiaodao Society were arrested and killed from generation to generation, and the Qing Dynasty even brutally killed the organized people, "poking at the childish, blunt and bloodless knives tied up several people and threw them into the river." Zhupu Village, the hometown of Jiang Yuan, the former leader of the Little Knife Society, was set on fire for three days and nights, and the original village of more than 600 households was left with only a few dozen families after the disaster. All this qiē failed to intimidate the indomitable people. Instead, it provoked a fiercer resistance.

，

Huang Wei and Huang Demei, who led peasants, vagrants, fishermen, boat owners, dock workers, urban poor, lower-class soldiers, and even individual landlords, joined the Little Knife Society, which revolted in Haicheng in May 1853, linking Haicheng, Zhangzhou, Xiamen, Tong'an, Zhangpu and other places. The rebel army established power in Xiamen. Huang Wei issued a proclamation in the name of "Generalissimo of the Han Dynasty and Ming Dynasty", denouncing the crimes of the Qing rulers and calling on the people to rise up and fight. Wherever the rebel army went, the military law was very strict, and the people were reassured. The price of rice grain is not allowed to be sold expensively, and the people do not commit any crimes in autumn."

Not long after the Huang Wei and Huang Demei uprisings, Lin Wanqing of Yongchun in Fujian Province led the Red Money Society and the Black Money Society, which are also branches of the Heaven and Earth Society in central Fujian and northern Fujian, as well as the Wuqi and Baiqi congregations in Putian and Xianyou to revolt. The rebel army successively captured Dehua, Yong'an, Datian, Shaxian, Longxi, Xianyou, Anxi and other prefectures and counties, and once grew to tens of thousands.

Lin Wanqing, formerly known as Lin Jun, was a native of Xialing Village, Yongchun Prefecture, Fujian, and his father Lin Jieyun was a member of the Manchu Dynasty. Lin Wan was famous for his heroism when he was a teenager, and all good boys liked to serve him as their leader. He is good at riding and shooting, has excellent bravery, and has been admitted to the martial arts of the Manchu Dynasty. Later, he went to the provincial capital to take the township examination, and after passing various examinations, although he passed everything, he was still rejected and not admitted. Lin Wanqing was already angry to death, who wanted that when he gave up taking the exam and switched to business, he was blackmailed by Dehua County officials in all kinds of ways.

As the so-called forced Liangshan, Lin Wanqing saw through this ** Manchu court, he pretended to go to the provincial capital to take the exam, and connected with the secret envoy sent by Hong Xiuquan to mobilize his uprising in Fuzhou. After the promise of "Yu tried to recover my Hanjia and the mountains together with Brother Hong", he returned to his hometown, first in the name of resolving the brawl between the two villagers, and then connected with other friends to rebel in Yongchun. Not only that, but he went against the actions of other rebels, and at the beginning of the uprising, he was led by Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, and all foreign edicts were issued in the name of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Because Huang Wei and Huang Demei stayed alone in Xiamen, they did not seek to unite with Lin Wanqing. After holding Xiamen for half a year, he was forced to abandon Xiamen, Huang Demei was killed in battle, and Huang Wei led part of the rebel troops to withdraw to the sea. As a result, Lin Wanqing's troops were subjected to more brutal repression by the Manchus. At the end of the same year of the uprising, in the arduous battle to defend Dehua, Chen Hu, the leader of the Black Money Society, was killed, and the rebels suffered heavy casualties.

It was also at this time that the secret envoy sent by Tianjing Nian arrived. According to Tianjing's instructions, Lin Wanqing gave up central Fujian and led his troops to evacuate Dehua and retreat into the mountainous areas of western Fujian, preserving his strength and insisting on fighting. Lin Wanqing's troops, who had withdrawn into the mountainous areas of western Fujian, were no longer as enthusiastic about capturing the prefectures and counties as before, but were almost silently fighting and making small troubles, and they were really doing the great thing of settling down and establishing a career. This is also the reason why Wang Yide reported to the imperial court and won praise for himself, and the bandits in Demin Province were no longer in trouble.

In the spring of this year, the Celestial Empire's Eastern Expeditionary Army besieged Hangzhou and began to sweep all parts of Zhejiang on a large scale. In addition to helping him reorganize the army, the technical personnel led by Zou Guojian also began to guide and organize craftsmen to manufacture earth explosives and various weapons, mainly mines and grenades. Although the usual black powder was used, and the power was far less than that produced in Tianjing, for Lin Wanqing's troops, it was enough to have this qiē.

When Lin Wanqing first retreated into western Fujian, the number of troops had been sharply reduced from nearly 30,000 to less than 10,000, but now he has gradually recovered his vitality, and the number of troops is increasing day by day. When the Red Army entered Fujian, his troops not only recovered to the number of people in the prosperous period, but also the number of Suzhì is not a pity today. Not only that, but he also already owned a large area west of Nanping, Sanming, and Yong'an, backed by Wuyi Mountain, as a base.

The Red Second Army went south to Nanping, and the Fujian Provincial Self-Defense Army, which had been reclaiming and lying on the ground for nearly a year, went out to take advantage of Rao Tingxuan's rescue of Nanping in Sanming, and attempted to flank the besieging Red Army on both sides, and took Sanming in one fell swoop. Rao Tingxuan failed to rescue, but lost his nest, and was afraid of falling into the two-way attack of the heavenly army, so he had to retreat into Shaxian County, not daring to act rashly.

Lin Wanqing did not stop, and then led the army to Shaxian. As early as a month ago, when the Red Second Army had just occupied Jianyang, Lin Wanqing had already sent the old brothers of the black and white flags in the Puxian area to sneak back to their hometowns, and the fire of the congregation was burning again. Wang Yide of Fuzhou knew that he felt that Fuzhou, which was firmly anchored in the rock, was actually surrounded by raging fire on all sides, reinforcements? Where there are any reinforcements, it would be good to be able to protect themselves.

In Fuzhou, after a day's rest, the Red First Army turned around and returned to reinforce the Ningde front. At the same time, the teaching brigade sent troops to the horsetail. At the beginning, the ten independent divisions and 80,000 troops that were pushed up several times later, under the command of Lin Fengxiang, all began to be invested in the Nanping front line at this time. An army of more than 100,000 people, effortlessly, broke through Nanping and Kesha County.

Ten days later, in addition to Rao Ting and others who died in the chaos, which was considered a fluke, Wang Yide, Lu Yansun, Deng Shaoliang and other officials of all sizes met, but the place where they met did not bring them any joy of reunion, just frustration, sighing, and more horror. Of course, it is estimated that there will be some regrets and the like, but it doesn't matter anymore, life is only once for them, and it is the last time.

After the jubilant public trial, Wang Yide and others were put on the gallows. To their amazement, the person who announced their death warrant was Lin Wanqing, the governor of Fujian in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who they had suppressed for more than two years and never understood.

The powerful military strength of the heroic Red Army, coupled with the surging uprisings of the common people in various places, the parts of Fujian, which had lost their leaders and the main force of the army, were in turmoil. The Manchu county officials in Putian and Xianyou saw that the people were about to burn into a riot, and they knew that it was difficult to protect, so they took the initiative to come to Fuzhou to surrender. Yong'an, the county seat where the Red Money Society's forces have always been there, the people twisted the county magistrate who refused to surrender to the Celestial Empire government in Sanming. Some small towns, small towns, this kind of thing is more.

Some wealthy people and officials in central Fujian who have not yet been touched are running southward, not for southern Fujian, because it is obviously no longer a safe area, and their only remaining target is Guangdong.

"How about it, Commander Lin, you should rest assured that the Red First Army will be handed over to Chen Yucheng, right?" is about to go on the expedition again, Lin Haifeng deliberately pulled a few people from the headquarters to enjoy Pingshan accompanied by Lin Wanqing. There are many monuments in the period of the Han Yue King here, the Yeshan at the southern foot of the mountain has the Ouye Pond that is said to be the Ouye Pond where the swords were smelted in that year, the Drinking Horse Pond, the Qin Stone, and the Golden Chicken Well of the Yue King. Shannan also has the Tang Dynasty Thorn Shi Pei Zhiyuan in the opening up of the stadium, is expected to Jingshan, Guanhai Pavilion, Yuquan Pond, the mountain has Huanfeng Pavilion, Juexue Liao, Shenghui Pavilion, Cuitao Pavilion and many other scenic spots. As soon as he came out of Hualin Temple, Lin Haifeng looked at Lin Fengxiang and asked with a smile.

"Well, this guy is good. Originally, I was still a little worried, but now that I look at it, I can still preside over an army well. Lin Fengxiang smiled and nodded, "What's the matter, now His Highness wants to straighten him out?" ”

"There's no hurry." Lin Haifeng took the lead and walked towards the mountain, "Let's talk about it after taking Xiamen and other places." ”

Huang Zaixing thought for a while, and suddenly said with a smile, "Your Highness, I guess you want to let go of the army of the Eastern Crusade, right?" ”
