Chapter 153: The Kingdom of Heaven Enters Jiangning
Before the winter of 1852, the Taiping army began to storm into the Yangtze River from the Changsha waterway, and then marched eastward along the Yangtze River, all the way to Jiangxi, and then began to attack Jiangning. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoThis Jiangning, also known as Jinling, is a famous ancient capital, and the Taiping army wants to seize Jiangning and establish political power.
In the city of Jiangning, Yiliang, the nominal governor of the Manchu Qing Liangjiang, was already listening to the report.
"Report, Lord Yiliang, Changmao has broken through our defense line in Jiangxi and is heading down the Yangtze River to begin an attack on our Jiangning."
Yiliang sighed lightly and said, "Okay, we should be ready too!" ”
Behind the Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, Chen Dingtian and Guan Qin sat here without any panic. Chen Dingtian knew that it was impossible for Yiliang to hurt him, because Yiliang did not know the relationship between Chen Dingtian and Qiu Erniang of Fujian. At present, the relationship between Chen Dingtian and Qiu Erniang has not been told to Yiliang, and it is not suitable to tell Yiliang at present. However, Yiliang only knows the relationship between Chen Dingtian and Zhejiang, and as for Qiu Erniang and Mo Qing in Shandong, they must not know about it.
"Father-in-law, what do you think is next? I think it should be according to the plan, let's hurry up and solve the problem, right? If you don't retreat, it'll be too late. We should retreat quickly, so that we can guarantee that you can retreat to Jiangxi. This Taiping army is attacking from the waterway, with what you call the Yangtze River water army, can you stop them? Definitely not, so it's better to retreat quickly! Chen Dingtian said.
Yiliang finally nodded, according to the previous plan, this is to retreat to Jiangxi. Because everyone knows that in terms of this water army, it is very difficult for them to fight against this Taiping army. I have to say that after Chen Dingtian arrived, Cinderella had a very huge butterfly effect, which made the Taiping army change the hand of attacking from the land route and changing the attack from the water army. The navy of the Taiping Army has more than 100,000 people, and its strength is no less than that of the Taiping Army.
The Taiping army can clean up the land and water, and the Liang army is very complete, which is the huge butterfly effect brought by Chen Dingtian. However, the Manchu Qing Dynasty, on the contrary, invested very little in the navy, and even though they knew that the Taiping army had invested in the navy, they did not attach any importance to the navy. This is because the current internal strife of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is too strong, and of course it is impossible for the army to support the rise of the navy. On the contrary, the Taiping Army is currently in the entrepreneurial stage, and they will do it as long as there is a benefit.
Therefore, the Taiping Army is currently very strong, and it can even become the basis for the development of the navy in the future. At present, although it can only be the Yangtze River Naval Army, it can gradually develop in the future.
The navy of the Qing army, especially the navy of the governor of Liangjiang, would definitely not be able to stop the navy of the Taiping army.
"Father-in-law, let's retreat next and give up a lot of territory. However, this Jiangsu can still retain a part, so that we are south of Jiangning, Jiangsu, and we will have to go a part of the heaven and earth, and you can each keep a part. We can even give a part of this Taiping Army as appropriate in the future, so that we can divide this Jiangsu together. ”
According to the plan, Chen Dingtian has begun to retreat from this Jiangsu. This Jiangsu must be ceded to the Taiping Army, and Chen Dingtian has no idea of fighting the Taiping Army for Jiangsu. Let's kill the Manchus first, and then don't fight yourself. So back down a part, that can also make them relatively stable.
Even as long as Zhejiang and Yiliang maintain a certain tacit understanding, so as to ensure the threat to the Taiping army, then this is still possible. In this way, a strange balance can be formed, the Taiping army in the north has the Manchu Qing, while the Yiliang and Tiandi in the south have an ambiguous attitude, so that the Taiping army will fall into a state of being attacked by the enemy. In this way, the Taiping army will act very cautiously, according to Chen Dingtian's opinion, the Taiping army should not be stupid to continue the Northern Expedition, such a strategy is simply death. Because there are two "tigers" in the south with ambiguous attitudes, do they still dare to transfer the elite out of Ali to go to the Northern Expedition?
This creates a strange balance, and all three parties are bogey, so that they can maintain their balance, but it is not easy to fight. As for Chen Dingtian's heaven and earth, as long as he doesn't want to delay the Taiping army in fighting against the Qing Dynasty, it can also be done.
Yiliang also roughly understood Chen Dingtian's plan, that is, to support the army and respect himself, anyway, the alliance between the Heaven and Earth Society and Yiliang already has a foundation. Of course, Yiliang didn't know that Qiu Erniang in Fujian was already Chen Dingtian's woman, and Moqing in northern Shandong also gave birth to Chen Dingtian, who was born now, but it was a girl, not a boy. This made many people in the Heaven and Earth Society also breathe a sigh of relief. Although there is an agreement, an agreement about the heir, but this is only an agreement between the top and has not been popularized to the grassroots level. This kind of thing must be kept secret, otherwise the more people who know about it, the greater the possibility of leaking secrets, so at present, only a very small number of high-level patriotic people know about it. Of course, there are also a few gringos, but the gringos are currently wearing the same pants as Chen Dingtian, and Chen Dingtian's interests for foreigners are obviously greater than those of the Manchus after Chen Dingtian won the world, so they don't mind that this China is unified under Chen Dingtian.
Yiliang then quickly said: "Okay, give the order immediately, the army is ready to touch, and prepare to evacuate Jiangning." Let's go to Jiangxi to fight against the invasion of longhair! ”
Chen Dingtian was really moved by Yiliang's shameless spirit. This Yiliang actually said that he was going to Jiangxi to fight against the Taiping Army, which was simply shameless. You must know that the governor of Liangjiang is in Jiangning, and at this time, everyone knows that the main target of the Taiping Army is Jiangning, but Yiliang ran to Jiangxi, so it is not the opposite direction. But in this troubled world, who has so many accountants, so what should be the case.
Yiliang quickly mobilized troops to prepare for evacuation, Yiliang had already prepared, in fact, there was already a day to prepare for evacuation. Isn't he trying his best to loot this Jiangsu territory just so that he can have more capital when he evacuates in the future? Then, after evacuating, you can try not to leave too many things for the Taiping army, and take as much as you can. Even the population is looted as much as possible.
Soon, Yiliang's mighty ranks began to be reasonable, and hundreds of thousands of people began to evacuate. Including the main characters in Jiangning, even all kinds of wealth have been looted. Only a few people remained, and hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangning have almost been taken away.
And just ten days later, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, came to Jiangning with a naval army.
"King Dong, the Qing army in Jiangning has no defense, and Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang in the Manchu court, has retreated, and he has retreated more than ten days ago. The entire Jiangning can almost be said to be empty, with only a few people. ”
Su Sanniang, a female general of the Taiping Army who had just landed in Jiangning City and was exploring the way, said.
Yang Xiuqing's heart was like 10,000 grass and mud horses passing by, he had worked hard to train the navy for more than half a year, and how much capital he had invested, just to conquer Jiangning once, but at this time, the governor of Liangjiang didn't fight with him at all, and directly smeared oil on the soles of his feet and left.
This made Yang Xiuqing very depressed, and she took off her pants with me, and you let me feel the same way when I saw this. I knew that these guys would evacuate, so why did I train the navy so desperately, I could have attacked it a long time ago.
"That's it, the Qing army is also afraid of us, it can be regarded as our victory!" Yang Xiuqing complained.
However, Yang Xiuqing is also very clear that the so-called iron must also be hard, if he does not have enough strength, it is impossible for this Yiliang to take the initiative to retreat. This Yiliang took the initiative to retreat, it was based on his own strength, otherwise why would Yiliang take the initiative to retreat!
Therefore, this is not in vain, and there are advantages of not fighting without war, so that at least losses can be avoided, and it is also a good result.
Yang Xiuqing entered this Jiangning and immediately began to give orders.
"Order, establish our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Jiangning, and respectfully invite the Heavenly King to enter the Tianjing of our Heavenly Kingdom!" Yang Xiuqing said.
"Respectfully invite the Heavenly King into the city!" The Taiping shouted.
Soon a ship began to sail over, this is Hong Xiuquan's dragon boat. He had just arrived at the place that had just been renamed Tianjing, and when he came down, he found it empty.
"Long live the King of Heaven!"
And Yang Xiuqing suddenly "descended from heaven" at this time and began to pretend to be a ghost. And Hong Xiuquan can only stand it, at present, Yang Xiuqing is the actual ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and even Hong Xiuquan has been hollowed out. Hong Xiuquan can only endure it, who makes Yang Xiuqing capable at present, and pulls and supports his subordinates everywhere, so Yang Xiuqing's strength is very great, so that Hong Xiuquan is also afraid.
"My God, this is also the legendary ancient capital of Jiangning? How is it so empty? Henry Dunan was surprised.
At present, Henry Du Nan is already a member of the Taiping Army medical camp, and he is responsible for training the medical personnel of the Taiping Army with a lot of achievements.
But Henry Du Nan always thought that this ancient Nanjing was very prosperous, but he didn't expect it to be so desolate.
"The Heavenly King, Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, is afraid of the divine power of our heavenly soldiers, and has long coerced the people to flee to Jiangxi. That's why this Jiang Ning seems so empty! Yang Xiuqing said.
Hong Xiuquan said: "Do you want to chase it quickly?" ”
"Heavenly King, I don't think so, it's better not to have extraneous branches for now. At present, since Yiliang has retreated, although he has taken away hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangning, he can't take too many people from other places. We don't have to be nervous, there are still a lot of people in Jiangsu! Royal sister Hong Xuanjiao said.
"That's right, what Xi Wangniang said is good, at this time, it's still not a big deal, it's better to be poor and don't chase after it!" Yang Xiuqing said.
At this time, it is better to quickly establish the regime, rather than fighting with Yiliang. Yiliang's matter can be talked about later, but at present, it is better to build his own political structure first, otherwise how will he command the world in the future. Although the establishment of the reward Yong'an system has been initially established, it will continue to be reorganized.
This Yang Xiuqing still has a lot of things to do, so it is inevitable to tidy it up, so that he can improve his status and strive to influence the stability of power, otherwise what is the point. Now get things done as soon as possible, and deal with these things well in the future, it will also be good for Yang Xiuqing.
If you go after Yiliang, it may not only cause all kinds of problems, but if Yiliang is forced to jump over the wall, it will not be a good thing. Yiliang has more than 100,000 people, rabbits bite when they are in a hurry, and Yiliang's army of more than 100,000 people is not vegetarian. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom claims to have an army of 800,000, Yang Xiuqing is not completely relieved of his combat effectiveness. At this time, you can still stand firm or stand firm, don't rush to fight with Iran.
"There is still the Heaven and Earth Society in the east, let's not rush into trouble with Yiliang, so that we are afraid that who knows if the Heaven and Earth Society will come over and mix?" Hong Xuanjiao also said.
The current situation in Jiangsu is so strange, so they are obviously very delicate, because although the Taiping army has entered Jiangning, Yiliang's strength has not really been damaged. On the contrary, the Heaven and Earth Society is also on the side, and the situation is unknown. According to the current information of the Taiping Army, this Yiliang may have an ambiguous relationship with the Heaven and Earth Society. Judging from the intelligence system of the Taiping Army, the current Heaven and Earth Society does not know what is going on, and the relationship with Yiliang is ambiguous. Although it had been fought before, even Yiliang's artillery had planned to hit one of the legs of the old leader Zhou Lichun. But after that, I don't know what happened, the two people who were supposed to be officials and bandits obviously colluded and tacitly understood.
This made the Taiping army also at a loss, and they couldn't figure out the situation here.
"At present, we should respond to all changes with the same, and at present, we have not figured out what the relationship between Heaven and Earth will be behind Yiliang. If we start a war with Yiliang, what will be the attitude of heaven and earth? Who knows what their specific internal relationship is, but we should not act rashly. Yang Xiuqing agreed with Hong Xuanjiao's analysis.
But then Yang Xiuqing said: "Zhenjiang Mansion in the east of Jiangning is the east gate of our Jiangning, so it must be paid attention to." So I think we should send a good general to capture and defend Zhenjiang. ”
Soon, a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old beautiful royal sister general took the initiative to stand up and said, "King Dong, I'll go!" I will be in charge of guarding Zhenjiang Mansion, and I will not give the Heaven and Earth Society a chance to break through Zhenjiang, the eastern gate of our Tianjing. ”
"Sanniang is out, then I believe it will be possible." Yang Xiuqing said.
"Go on the expedition and take Zhenjiang!" Su Sanniang said to the thousands of elite soldiers under him.
Su Sanniang began to move towards the east of Jiangning with thousands of soldiers and horses, preparing to take Zhenjiang. Thousands of elite soldiers left Jiangning in a mighty manner, and then rushed towards Zhenjiang. These are all veterans who have followed Su Sanniang for many years, and have experienced the baptism of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's previous battles, and they are obviously very elite. It shouldn't be a problem to take down a Zhenjiang.
