Chapter 109 - Rendezvous with the Taiping Army

The army began to move, and Jin Yishan also began to frequently send scout cavalry to maintain close contact with the two grass kings of the Taiping army. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The two sides agreed to reconvene at the foot of Beijing City, and then decide how to attack Beijing City......

At this time, what Jin Yishan was most worried about finally happened, Li Hongzhang, who was in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, was frequently mobilizing troops and horses, wanting to have a big action!

Just when Jin Yishan thought that he was about to confront Li Hongzhang again, a message came from the border of Jiangxi and Guangdong, which made Li Hongzhang dare not move again!

That is, Jiangxi and Guangdong, the Patriotic Army each stationed three integrated corps, and made a posture of attacking Anhui and Zhejiang.

In this way, Zhang Yun quieted Li Hongzhang again in minutes, continued to nest in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces, and never dared to come out again.

Zhang Yun's thunderous action made Jin Yishan stunned, and at the same time, when this news reached the ears of the two grass-headed kings of the Taiping Army.

Their reactions were also different, according to the spies lurking in their army, the news that came back showed that Yang Desheng did not show anything...... On the contrary, when Zhou Yuancheng heard the news, his face was gloomy!

Of course, Jin Yishan believed that he could receive this kind of information, so Zhang Yun knew more details than he would be.

Therefore, Jin Yishan no longer worries about it in the future, but after meeting with the Taiping Army, I am afraid that he needs to beware of Zhou Yuancheng......

Of course, these things are still far away, not to mention it, the current thing in front of Jin Yishan is, how to catch up with the footsteps of the Taiping Army, don't lag behind them too much!

Because Yang Desheng, who is closest to Beijing, has already arrived in Handan, Hebei Province...... Even Zhou Yuancheng is about to enter the territory of Hebei.

And he was still in Kaifeng City and did not set off, so he couldn't help but be in a hurry!

Of course, as soon as Jin Yishan was in a hurry, the cavalry below fell into bad luck, and they were all busy.

The cavalry were not the busiest, but the busiest were more than 10,000 people, young and old, who came to join the Patriotic Army......

This time it's the real blood mold!

Of course, they didn't dare to complain about anything, and it was obviously impossible for them to continue with pots and pans in the next rapid march.

So when the army marched the next morning, a large number of pots and pans suddenly appeared outside Kaifeng City, as well as inferior fabrics.

And these made the poor people in Kaifeng City very much picked up the foreign fall, so they didn't hate the Patriotic Army as much as they did yesterday!

After all, since the Patriotic Army attacked Kaifeng City, it can be said that there is no crime in the autumn, of course, this is for ordinary people.

As a peasant army uprising force, the Patriotic Army was not so polite to the landlords and gentry in Kaifeng City......

From Kaifeng to the capital, it takes 1,300 miles, with the footsteps of 60,000 cavalry under Jin Yishan, the limit speed is 100 kilometers a day, and it only takes six or seven days to reach the capital.

But this time it was obvious that it was impossible for Jin Yishan to reach the limit speed of the cavalry, even if the cavalry under his command was all one man and three horses.

Because Miss Fang, who was delicate and delicate, was still in the army, Jin Yi obviously slowed down, and it was not until ten days later that Jin Yishan walked to the border of Baoding.

After arriving here, Jin Yishan sent a message to Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng, asking them to come to Baoding to gather......

Since this place is mostly plains, the cavalry scouts are also very powerful, and almost on the day that Jin Yishan issued the summoning order, Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng had already received the news from him.

The two could only curse and scold at the same time...... Begin to lead the troops closer to Jinyi Mountain!

The next night, the two parts of the army finally merged into one, and Jin Yishan naturally took over the command, for this, Yang Desheng didn't say anything, but Zhou Yuancheng was awkward......

Of course, he didn't dare to express any dissatisfaction on his face, and in the end he could only acquiesce, after all, all the rifle bullets in his army came from Zhang Yun.

From a certain point of view, the entire Taiping Army is regarded as Zhang Yun's supernumerary troops, unable to resist, and cannot resist Zhang Yun's rule at all!

And when Jin Yishan took over the command of all the armies, he found out the specific number of the three armies combined, but he was suddenly taken aback.

Why are there so few people?

As soon as they inquired, it turned out that Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuanyuan each hid a hand, and each of them only brought 50,000 or 60,000 troops.

In the face of Jin Yishan's doubts, Zhou Yuancheng and Yang Desheng are full of words, and Lao Tzu has to guard against Li Hongzhang in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Anhui!

This sentence blocked Jin Yishan speechless, and at the moment he could only send the specific situation back to Hainan in the form of a telegram to sue them, and in addition, Jin Yishan had no other way.

However, the telegram sent by Jin Yishan was like a stone sinking into the sea, and there was no response, and he immediately knew that Zhang Yun had nothing to do about this situation.

After all, the generals are outside, and the military orders are not subject to it!

What's more, the two grass kings of the Taiping Army are separated from the Patriotic Army system by a layer, so although Zhang Yun has a lot of influence in their minds, it is impossible for him to completely control their behavior, and influence is just influence after all!

In the absence of any choice, Jin Yishan had no choice but to continue to set off towards Beijing City with these hundreds of thousands of troops, and it was expected that he would enter Daxing County in three or two days.

At this time, the Manchu court, even if it was sluggish, finally reacted at this time......

These thieves together wanted to come to Beijing, so the current Manchu court was in a hurry to recruit Li Hongzhang into King Qin.

It's a pity that Li Hongzhang, who was pinned on by them with high hopes, was pinned down in Zhejiang and Anhui by Zhang Yun's six integrated legions at this time, and he was unable to go north at all.

Therefore, despite Cixi's anger, Li Hongzhang could only keep stating his difficulties, and did not want to send troops to the north immediately.

And he also knew very well that as long as he just walked on the front foot, the more than 300,000 troops and horses of the Taiping Army behind him would immediately enter Anhui and Zhejiang and take away his last base area......

If this really happened, Li Hongzhang felt that Zeng Guofan's fate would soon be his turn!

After all, if there is no territory, there will be no source of money and food, and there will be no soldiers and horses, and what kind of fate will it be for those who have no soldiers and horses under their hands, and his predecessor Zeng Guofan is a good example.

Li Hongzhang's refusal to send troops finally made Cixi feel a trace of regret!

should not be so hasty to treat Zeng Guofan, and now this kind of consequence is really a headache for Cixi......

Of course, Cixi has one last resort, since she can't summon this group of Han minions, but she also has a Manchu minion Rong Lu, waiting for her to summon it!

And when Cixi tried to issue a summoning order to Rong Lu, Rong Lu did not hesitate at the moment, and quickly took tens of thousands of his subordinates to set off towards Beijing City, preparing for King Qin......
