Although the Qing Dynasty government knew that Zhang Yuanzheng was independent, but there was nothing to be done about it, at this time the Qing court was not the independence of Zhang Yuanzheng, but the fierce attack of the Taiping army made the Qing court feel uneasy, Zhang Yuanzheng announced his independence to the world, but the impact was still not as big as the Taiping army, the peasant army led by Hong Xiuquan, the Qing army was defeated and retreated with the momentum of a bamboo, and in a short period of time, the area south of the Yangtze River basically fell, and the Qing army fled everywhere the peasant army went, without the slightest desire to fight, In just a few years, the Taiping army has developed to this point, which shows the corruption of the Qing court.

The offensive of the peasant army has affected the interests of foreigners, and the European countries have also sold their weapons to the Qing government in China, and the pace of the advance of the Taiping army has only stopped under the strong interference of foreign forces, and now the Qing court and the Taiping army have temporarily eased up, and the Taiping army will definitely attack Liangguang in turn, Zhang Yuanzheng decided that instead of waiting for others to attack, it is better to attack first and seize the opportunity.

At the military meeting, Zhang Yuanzheng stood up and walked to a map of China and said: "Comrades, the difficulties we will encounter in the future are enormous, we shoulder the future destiny of the country and the nation, we have no choice but to sprinkle blood towards the beautiful mountains and rivers, due to the intervention of foreign forces, now the Qing court and the Taiping army are in a period of relaxation, in a long period of time, the Taiping army will turn back and fight with us, now we are enemies on all sides, what is defense, offense is the best defense, Instead of waiting for them to attack us, we should take the initiative and take him by surprise. “

The military commanders asked for battle one after another, "Commander, let us go, as long as they dare to come, we will kill him and turn his horse on his back, and never let an enemy enter our territory, kill and kill ......."

Zhang Yuanzheng looked at these officers under him and smiled: "Okay, courage is commendable, and confidence is a good thing, but remember not to be blindly confident and arrogant." The 1st, 4th, and 5th divisions were ordered to attack Hunan, the 3rd Division stayed in Guangxi, the 6th Division was stationed in Guangdong, and the 2nd Division, as the general reserve of the whole army, was ready for battle at any time. “

The two lakes area can be said to be a big granary, if you can take the two lakes, you don't have to worry about the food in the future, on the Huguang border, the Wehrmacht and the Taiping Army broke out a big battle, the Wehrmacht soldiers touched the eyes of the Taiping Army, everything was ready, a fire rose, the signal of the attack was ignited, the soldiers of the first division flocked to the position of the Taiping Army like a tide, the Taiping Army was suddenly attacked, some soldiers were woken up by the sound of the Wehrmacht artillery before they woke up, a round of salvo, most of the enemy troops went to heaven in their sleep, When a group of Wehrmacht soldiers saw the results of the artillery, they all sighed that the power of the new cannon was better than the previous one, and if there had been such a cannon when fighting the British, so many brothers would not have died.

The battle on the periphery went very smoothly, the Wehrmacht began to march into Hunan one after another, and the Wehrmacht conquered several county towns one after another, and the Taiping Army had already reacted at this time, and many Taiping troops were rushing here.
