Forward, forward, forward......

When Lin Haifeng and his entourage passed through Shouzhou and then arrived at Xuzhou to rendezvous with the headquarters of the Red Third Front Army, from west to east, all units of the heroic Red Army of the Celestial Empire had already launched a powerful offensive on the whole front in accordance with the operational orders issued by the Supreme Revolutionary Commander's Association.

The Red Army, this is a mighty army in the history of the Celestial Empire. From the beginning of the Eastern Crusade, after more than two years, in the battle of blood and fire, they relied on their two feet to break through an obstacle, walked around South China for more than half a circle, and left their heroic footprints on the land of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Fujian, Liangguang, Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan. One by one, the strong bodies fell, but they were followed by groups of fearless national elites.

It was an out-and-out Long March, and when they were about to leave Hanzhong and plunge into the final battle to the death against the Manchu regime (of course, they themselves would not know it now, and the north out of Hanzhong and the recovery of Shaanxi were only the first step in the next journey for them), and the Red Army had formed a huge group of twelve regular armies and millions of local peasant armies in Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan.

In addition to Zeng Shuiyuan, deputy commander-in-chief and deputy director of the Southwest Military and Political Commission, and other units of the Red Third Army guarding and operating all the localities under their control, the main force of the Red First Army, with a total of more than 200,000 men and horses, under the leadership of Lin Fengxiang, Huang Zaixing, and Qin Rigang, began to fight out of Sichuan in three ways in mid-April 1856.

The first road, under the personal command of Lin Fengxiang, entered the Bazhong Dajian Pass in Guangyuan, took the Golden Bull Plank Road, went north out of Mianxian County in southern Shaanxi, and then rushed to cross the Han River, seized Mian County, Luoyang, blocked the boundary of Baoxiegu Road, and went down to Pingguan in Xiayang, completing the encirclement of the west and north of Hanzhong Fucheng.

The second road led by Huang Zaixing, entered Micang Road from Bazhong, crossed Micang Mountain, and appeared in the south of Hanzhong.

The third road was under the command of Qin Rigang, and Wanyuan crossed the more steep Lychee Road to take Dingyuan first, and then raided Xixiang with a lightly armed elite army over Bashan, but the main force went east to attack Xing'an Mansion (now Ankang, Shaanxi).

Hanzhong was besieged.

Because it was unfavorable to supervise his subordinates to reinforce Sichuan to "suppress bandits" during his tenure as governor of Shaanxi and Gansu, he was demoted to the governor of Shaanxi, and was specially kicked to Hanzhong by Jing Shou, the new prime minister of the Manchu Northwest War and minister of the Qin Mission, to act as a shield.

This Saishan, a Mongolian Blue Banner person. Jiaqing's twenty-one years of translation is favored by the two generations of Daoguang and Xianfeng. Starting from the pen post style of the Li Yuan Academy, Zhang Jing, a military machine, to a bachelor's degree in the cabinet, even if he took the opportunity to withhold military pay and was impeached during his inspection of the Jilin army, he could still take the title of first-class guard, and then serve as the minister of Hami. Later, it was naturally a spring breeze all the way, and he was promoted to the cabinet bachelor, the squire of the relocation of the Urn and the deputy commander, and after a period of rectification in the Ministry of Industry, he went to Shengjing, Guangdong, Chahar and other places to do the envoy, and then went to the Minister of Military Aircraft to apprentice and walk, and served as the transfer department, the promotion of the Yuanyuan, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry and the capital, and the scholar of the Wenhuadian University, and the management of the household department.

The Taiping Army Jintian raised troops, because the governor Zhou Tianjue, Admiral Xiang Rong and other will be unfavorable, and the one who was remembered by Xianfeng again, experienced the vicissitudes of life, and was old and did not have the muscles and bones of Lin Zexu "died before leaving the division", so Sai Shang'a, a close minister, was about to express Xiàn Xiàn, he was honored as the minister of the Qin Mission, holding a special curb Bilong knife, and two million silver around his waist, and rushed to Guangxi and Hunan to prevent the Heavenly Army.

In Guangxi, it is said that he eliminated the old and weak among the soldiers, rectified discipline, and bribed spies, spies, and so on, and did a very good job of Xianfeng, and he constantly issued edicts praising him for "being able to plan the overall situation."

It's a pity that the Heavenly Army didn't give him face and captured Yong'an Prefecture, which made Sai Shang Ah "miss the opportunity and be demoted to four levels to retain". In the battle of Guilin, although Guilin was finally preserved, a series of senior generals such as Chang Rui, Changshou, Dong Guangjia, and Shao Heling died on the battlefield, and the main force of the Heavenly Army withdrew from the siege like a dragon.

Jiang Zhongyuan ambushed the Heavenly Army in Lingyidu, Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, sacrificed his life, and Sai Shang'a always got some face as the commander, needless to say, how happy he was. However, no one will give him face anymore.

The Heavenly Army immediately entered Hunan, and it was even trapped in Daozhou, Jianghua, Yongming, Jiahe, Lanshan, and Guiyang. When the army of the Celestial Empire attacked Liling, attacked Youxian, and besieged Changsha, Xianfeng couldn't bear it anymore, "the edict reprimanded Saishang A for having no way to dispatch, unclear orders, and improper rewards and punishments, so that the labor and teachers were paid, and the days were fruitless, and the dereliction of duty was arrested and punished in Beijing."

It is said that he wept bitterly on the ground at the officials who came to arrest him, regretting that he could not bear to kill people, and did not want to see the blood of the officers and soldiers who did not try his best to kill the thieves, and only then did he not want to kill the thieves, and only then did he go so crazy that he failed to live up to the grace of God, but it was definitely not that he did not want to do his best. Strange, when he heard the news of the sacrifice of Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, the executioner who died almost without excitement was still a good man who was afraid of bloodshed.

It is said that when Xianfeng heard the news brought back by the envoy, he was so angry that he almost wanted to hit his head and pull him down, and scolded Sai Shang'a for being shameless, "With his family, the three sons are resigned."

Angry and angry, annoyed and annoyed, less than half a year, Xianfeng still had to be gracious, and the same as the previous deduction of military salaries, big things turned into small things, small things again, Saishana was released from prison, and after studying for a month in the Governor of Zhili, he came to Xi'an with thousands of Chahar Mongol soldiers and became the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu.

The Celestial Empire entered the river in a big way, and to say that Saishana didn't do his best, it would really be wronged to death him. In addition to not daring to go himself, even the thousands of Chahar Mongol soldiers who he "treated like brothers" were put in, and he couldn't beat others, in his opinion, it was a reasonable thing, so that he was carrying a black pot of failure, and the Queen Mother was really not holy. Grievances and grievances, grievances and grievances, this time I was lucky not to be arrested and returned to Beijing.

But when he was thrown to Hanzhong by Jing Shou, he began to regret it, regretting that he should have made a bigger mistake in the first place, so that he could be escorted back to Beijing to discuss the crime, which is better than coming here to be this cannon fodder.

I'm really afraid of whatever I want, and it's not been two months since I sat in Hanzhong, and the land grabbers really came.

Not to mention that it is a Hanzhong, that is, one of all the prefectures and counties in southern Shaanxi, just like him Saishan'a, has long been frightened by the huge power of the Red Army of the Celestial Empire, and it is difficult to sleep and eat. Although a lot of propaganda materials about the new united front of the Celestial Empire government, and even rumors about guò began to spread everywhere, it was still late after all, and before that, a large number of gentry and official families had fled north, and they did not dare to spend Chinese New Year's Eve at home.

Fighting depends on the army, and the army that Sezana saw was collapsing at the touch of a button in front, and the one behind either looked panicked, or there was no one today, and there would be one less tomorrow, not to mention that there was no way to compare with the opponent in terms of numbers, even with this spirit alone, he also knew that he had no play at all.

The regular army is definitely not good, so what about the regimental training and village courage that the imperial court has been fooling for many years? Whoever dares to ask this question, Sezanne is definitely in a hurry with you. Team training? The head is gone, who is still in the group, who is still practicing? The Red Army of the Celestial Empire is more ruthless in regimental training than in their regular army, as long as they dare to come forward to organize and practice bravely to resist the Celestial Army, first kill you cleanly, and then launch the mud-legged people to divide your family and bankruptcy, that is not enough, the mud-legged people are afraid that those regimental training leaders will counterattack in the future, and you will definitely not be soft. Don't talk about the people involved, even those rich people who see or hear this kind of thing, who is not afraid?

Sezanne didn't dare to go out to battle with his four doors closed, how powerful the Red Army of the Celestial Empire was, although he hadn't tasted it in person until now, but the defeated soldiers who had escaped into the city by luck from all over the place had already told him. It's so good, before you look at your face, a locust plague will throw patches of "thunder" above your head, which one can stand it. What is that "thunder"? Cézanne heard the calloused ears, but he couldn't think of them anyway. He is not a lonely person, foreigners are the most powerful, then he is very clear, foreigners have quick grabbing, and there are heavy artillery that can fight far and bloom when they land. Alas, I haven't heard of this kind of "thunder" either.

Can't fight, of course, can't run, he has heard how powerful the little queen mother in the Forbidden City is, Su Zhongtang is powerful, the first emperor is no longer a trusted person, lost two Guang, and finally was not killed by the Taiping army, but it was difficult to escape the punishment of the queen mother. This time I'm going to run away, it's definitely light to raid the family and exterminate the clan, and the ancestral graves have to be dug out together.

So, there is only one way left, asking for help, eating the blood of his situation, hoping that Lord Qincha in Xi'an can look at the face of the Qing Dynasty and stretch out his hand to pull him.

In fact, wanting to wait for the rescue of Jing Shou, Mu Yin and others, even Sai Shang'a himself felt funny after sending out the emergency documents. Let's not talk about whether the messenger can run out, and don't say whether Lord Qincha is willing to send reinforcements, it's just a qiēshun lì, and the rescuers can't run here without a month, and when they come, I'm afraid that it should be too late to collect the corpses.

To say that this "blessed man" does not have to worry, Cezanne has been killed many times, and when he is desperate now, someone still deliberately reached out and pulled him.

The person who pulled him this time was not his friend, but his opponent.

All of Lin Fengxiang's vanguard troops out of Sichuan were lightly armed infantry, and his brigade of men and horses and supplies were still marching on every bumpy plank road. Just as Cezanne had heard, the three armies stood out for the same word "fast", and grenades and explosives were their only and most used siege "heavy" weapons. When the two armies met bravely, the brave won, and it was the incomparable momentum that was established that fiercely overwhelmed the enemy in front of them.

Surrender, under a quick and ferocious blow, followed by a surrender to the besieging enemy. This is called a slap and then a small sweet date to eat, and later some people said that this is a "carrot and stick" tactic. In any case, in order to solve the strong Hanzhong Mansion City, recruiting this is only a purpose, with a large number of his troops out of Sichuan, he also has to leave some time for Jingshou, who is far away in Xi'an, to see if he can save Hanzhong.

As a result, Saishana was honored to receive Lin Fengxiang's handwritten letter.
