Lin Qirong was the first to learn that Shi Fengkui of the Tenth Army outside the West Gate had made a big move, and it was the news from the junction of his army and the Tenth Army. Hearing that the troops of the Tenth Army were gathering, he was a little inexplicable, the general headquarters did not issue any instructions about the large-scale movement of the besieging troops, he couldn't understand, what kind of reputation was this Shi Fengkui doing?
His habitual prudence and meticulousness prompted him to send people to inquire about the situation of the 10th Army and report to the general headquarters of Jishui on the other hand.
Before the results of the two inquiries returned, the fierce gunfire of Simon began. When the report came back, he got the news that the Qing army had broken through from the West Gate.
This sudden news made Lin Qirong stunned. Out of prudence, he did not assign troops to reinforce the Tenth Army, but personally led the two main divisions to quickly cross Lushui to the west, preemptively deploy defenses along the Chenshan River, block various ferries, and prevent the Qing army from rushing into the rear of the Heavenly Army.
At this time, Zhou Yuheng and Wang Benwu's two roads were like birds out of the cage, Wang Benwu crossed the river in Guantian, and then went all the way to the west to start burning and looting. Zhou Yuheng waved his army south along the small river, and he also killed people when he met them, and set fire to them all the way to Yongyang when he met a village, and he also needed to cross Heshui from there. What he didn't expect was that just as he was about to arrive at Yongming, the vanguard in front of him encountered the interceptors sent by Zeng Tianhe, and once they fought, they were quickly defeated.
Zhou Yuheng panicked, if he couldn't cross the Heshui from here, as soon as the sky was bright, a large number of Taiping troops nearby would wake up, and they would judge the shape and besiege it, and at that time, they would not be able to run even if they wanted to. He hurriedly reorganized the team and hung a heavy reward, wanting to open a passage in one fell swoop. However, he was already tossed to the end, and he didn't have to wait for any daylight, the troops of Bai Huihuai, the commander of the Twelfth Army, had already surrounded him from behind.
Under the cover of those two groups of men and horses, and after using a small number of men and horses to divert the attention of the following heavenly army, Yu Bingtao moved forward at a rapid pace, planning to cross the Chenshan River in the area of Zhouhu Lake to carry out his large-scale revenge plan.
This is a sudden contest, and the success or failure of every step of the way, the opportunity comes from the adaptability of every commander on the battlefield.
Lin Qirong's decisiveness made the Qing army, which had been busy all night before panting and approaching Chen Shanhe, not only disappointed, but also fell into a desperate situation. There was an interception in front, and there were chasing soldiers sent by Zhang Suimou in the back.
Yu Bingtao's dream was shattered, but the consequences he brought to the Heavenly Army were severe. Just as Hu Yihuang was worried, Wang Benwu, who was chased by Zeng Tianhe all the way like a rotten duck and fled in battle, relied on these routs who were almost all panicked and lost their fighting spirit, and actually opened the door of Yongxin County. Of course, the gates of the city were opened by the Yongxin defenders themselves, and in the face of the rushing Qing army, the soldiers defending the city may not believe their eyes. In their hearts, the demons are all surrounded in Ji'an waiting for death.
The red flag jumped over the Tingjiang River and went straight down to Longyan Shanghang. It's really busy to pack up a piece of gold and divide the fields. ”
From the moment he approached Longyan, Lin Haifeng couldn't help but think of the old man's popular poems. It's a pity that he can't directly repeat the old man's path back then, he is an advanced Longyan and Shanghang, and only then can the red flag jump over the Tingjiang River.
The Eastern Expeditionary Army was divided into two routes, on the left road, Lin Fengxiang and Huang Zaixing commanded the headquarters organs and the Red First Army and the Red Third Army first conquered Quanzhou, and then marched to Zhangzhou. On the right road, Lin Haifeng accompanied Qin Rigang's Red Second Army, Teaching Brigade and five independent divisions, let go of the small county towns along the way, and drove directly to Longyan City.
Longyan was surrounded. Chen Tingxiang led the special service battalion of the teaching brigade to take the commanding heights of Beishan with only one fierce charge, and the artillery battalion pulled up Beishan and began to bombard the north gate of Longyan condescendingly. With a bag of cigarettes, the north gate will be broken. Soon, the Red Fourth Division, which had broken through the West Gate, joined the Teaching Brigade in the city, and Longyan was recovered.
Similarly, Qingrui, the governor of Fujian of the Manchu Qing Dynasty stationed in Zhangzhou, completely gave up the will to resist when the natural barrier Tianbao Mountain was occupied by the Red Army and the general soldier Zhong Baosan was killed, and he gave up Zhangzhou in a hurry and retreated to Xiamen.
The victorious Red Army officers and men did not stop there, but sent troops in all directions, and the red storm swept through southern Fujian.
The large-scale military operations on land in Fujian came to an end completely. Lin Fengxiang and Huang Zaixing began to collect ships and plan the Jinxia Campaign. According to King An's instructions, the island of Taiwan was temporarily abandoned, and after taking Xiamen and Kinmen, the Eastern Expeditionary Army would turn to Guangdong to fight.
Lin Haifeng, who was about to go to Jiangxi, took advantage of the brief opportunity in Longyan to hold several short-term training courses for the peasant movement and military to train peasant associations and backbone peasant army cadres in various localities.
The Red Second Army has begun to enter Jiangxi from Changting one after another, and Lin Haifeng is also about to leave for Ningdu. Before leaving, he came to Shanghang on the bank of the Ting River. "I'm going to see the Wenchang Pavilion in Mosquito Ocean." These are the words he said to the officials who greeted him as soon as he arrived in Shanghang.
The Wenchang Pavilion in Jiaoyang, Shanghang, is a building that took 13 years to build from the sixth year of Qianlong (1741) to the nineteenth year of Qianlong (1754), and later set up the Tianhou Temple and the Five Grain Hall on the left and right sides of the Wenchang Pavilion respectively. Wenchang Pavilion looks like it has six floors on the outside, but it is actually four floors inside. The first to third floors are enshrined with statues of Confucius, Emperor Wenchang and Wen Kuixing, and the top floor is an umbrella-shaped cantilever structure. The local people built this pavilion in the center of the village in order to pray for cultural prosperity. It is said that since the Wenchang Pavilion was built here in Jiaoyang, it has been prosperous and talented. Therefore, on the third day of March every year, the literati and gentlemen of the whole township will gather in this high pavilion one after another, "praising and wishing", thinking that "saving oneself and denying oneself to help".
Lin Haifeng looked at every corner of Wenchang Pavilion carefully, he didn't say anything, and his expression was not as relaxed as before, not to mention the local officials, even the people accompanying him were very puzzled.
In the end, he stood quietly in front of Wenchang Pavilion for a long time.
"Relying on prayer will not bring prosperity to culture." Lin Haifeng looked at the local officials in Shanghang around him, and then looked at the president of the peasant association in Mosquito Yang, "The township and the county have to pay money, please sir, run a school, and let all the children come here to study, this is the real way to prosper in cultural luck." ”
Stepping on the road to Changting, Lin Haifeng is still looking back on Shanghang from time to time.
"Your Highness, have you ever been here?" Liu Xianghe asked strangely. She could see that His Royal Highness's expression in Wenchang Pavilion was obviously full of admiration and reverie.
"Nope." Lin Haifeng looked at her and casually chanted, "The wind and clouds have changed abruptly, and the warlords have resumed their war." Sprinkled to the world is resentment, and a pillow of yellow sorghum reappears. The red flag jumped over the Tingjiang River and went straight down to Longyan Shanghang. It's really busy to pack up a piece of gold and divide the fields. What do you think? ”
"That's great!" Liu Xianghe tasted, "This seems to be written by us, but it's not quite." Who wrote it? ”
"Huh." Lin Haifeng smiled, "I didn't write it anyway." ”
