After Jin Shengheng of Jiangxi Province rebelled, he sent Wang Deren to lead a large army to attack the city of Qizhou on February 28, 1848.

The Qing troops held on, and Wang Deren did not capture Qizhou.

The attack on Qizhou was frustrated, and Jin Shenghuan convened his cronies in Nanchang to discuss.

Hu Tang, a curtain guest, said: "Taking advantage of the momentum of breaking bamboo, he went down the river with the banner of the Qing soldiers, and threatened to ask for help in the sky, Nanjing will open the door to accept the king, and its generals can be captured immediately." Then change the banner, sow the year number, sacrifice Ming Xiaoling, Teng Shandong, the Central Plains will hear the wind in response, the north and south of the river, the west and the mountains, Shaanxi, who has to be Qing also? This is the best policy. If you take Wuhan in the west, even Heng Yunxiang, and Hunan He Tengjiao, this is the middle policy. In case otherwise, the city will be attacked and destroyed, and nothing will be left behind, and it will be a rogue, so this is the next step. Although, the trial is like this, but it is not lost. When Yongli Shuai's sixth division is upright and then the Northern Expedition, the Qing soldiers arrive suddenly, and the infant city is self-defending, so there is nothing to do. ”

Most of the people attending the meeting agreed with Hu Tang's strategy, and Jin Shengheng was also a little moved when he saw it, and was about to adopt it.

His cronie Huang Renlong objected and said: "None of the three strategies are true! The general doesn't hear about King Ning? Ganzhou high into the library in the other. ”

Jin Shengheng is just a martial artist, he hasn't read many books, and he is a little confused when he hears it.

Jin Shengheng hurriedly asked, "What is the matter of attacking the king of Guanning in Nanjing?" And who is King Ning? ”

Huang Renlong said: "In the past, the name of King Ning was called Chenhao, but he was opposed to Jiangxi, so he was captured by Wang Shouren, the governor of Ganzhou, because he was not prepared for Ganzhou. ”

Jin Shengheng heard that there were also people in Jiangxi who rebelled, because they did not conquer Ganzhou at that time, and finally led to being exterminated by the governor of Ganzhou.

Jin Shengheng was frightened, and decided to transfer back Wang Deren's army and capture Ganzhou in total.

On 16 March, Jin Shenghuan personally led an army of more than 70,000 people to advance by land and water, directly attacking the Jiangxi border.

Gao Jinku, the general army of Ganzhou, saw that the troops were invincible, and ordered the whole army to enter the city and defend it by danger.

Ganzhou faces water on three sides, the terrain is dangerous, the city wall is solid, and it is an important town that is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Gao Jinku's supervision department put Hu Yousheng, Liu Bolu, Yang Yuming, Jia Xiong and others to resist stubbornly, and the two sides could not hold each other.

The protracted battle under the city of Ganzhou deprived Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren of the best opportunity to attack Jiangsu and Zhejiang and seize Nanjing.

Tan Tai, the general sent by the Manchu Qing Dynasty to conquer the south, led 12,000 Manchu and Mongolian cavalry and 60,000 Han troops to occupy Jiujiang, the gateway to Jiangxi, in leap April, and on the seventh day of the first month of May, approached Nanchang, Jin Shengheng's old nest.

When the news came, Jin and Wang had to order the whole army to retreat and return to Nanchang in order to save the nest.

Gao Jinku took the opportunity to order the department to open the city on the ninth day of May; Jin and Wang had no intention of fighting, and the rearguard troops lost their troops and retreated in embarrassment.

On 19 May, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren led the army back to Nanchang.

On the third day of the first month of June, Wang Deren led his elite soldiers out of the city to meet the southbound Qing army, but was ambushed and defeated by the Qing army at Qili Street, and retreated to Nanchang.

Tan Tai took advantage of the victory and marched forward and surrounded Nanchang on the 10th day of July.

At the same time, the troops were divided into four directions, sweeping away the periphery and cutting off the connection between Nanchang and other states and counties.

The Qing army plundered in Jiangxi, forcing hundreds of thousands of nearby villagers to dig ditches and besiege Nanchang;

The captured people only gave porridge one meal a day, and the summer overseers kept the sundial, exposed and steamed, and the deceased did not worry about more than 100,000 yuan.

The women who plundered were divided among the soldiers of each banner in Manchuria, and those in the same camp were divided day and night.

Around the ninth day of August, the trench work was completed, and the captured people were sold by the Qing army as slaves for each family.

For a time, Nanchang attached Guo to the east and west for dozens of miles, Tianhe, Shanmu, Lushe, and Qiu's tomb were all gone.

In addition to holding on to the city and sending people to Li Chengdong in Guangdong to ask for reinforcements, Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren in Nanchang City personally led their soldiers and horses out of the city many times to attack the Qing army guarding the trenches, but they were all repulsed.

Nanchang City was besieged for a long time, and there was a shortage of food and firewood.

The price of rice in the city first rose to 60 taels of silver for a stone, and then as high as 600 taels.

The situation of the soldiers and civilians in the city was very difficult, and many people escaped from the siege in order not to starve to death.

Unexpectedly, Tan Tai, the commander of the Qing army, had already made up his mind, whether it was to surrender the officers and soldiers or to escape the refugees, they would all be slaughtered.

Li Chengdong of Guangdong received a letter of rescue from Jin Shengheng, and in August, Li Chengdong ordered troops in the Guangzhou teaching field and personally led the army straight to Nanxiong.

When he arrived in Nanxiong, Li Chengdong relied on his many soldiers and horses, hoping to force the Ganzhou guards to surrender, and repeatedly sent letters to the Ganzhou guards of the Qing Dynasty to recruit them.

Gao Jinku adopted a strategy of delaying the army, and constantly sent envoys to reply that he was willing to do it anyway, so as to paralyze Li Chengdong;

In fact, when Jin Shenghuan and Wang Deren retreated, Ganzhou was besieged, and Li Chengdong's army collected grain in the nearby countryside before he arrived, and strengthened the city fortifications.

Just as the Manchu Qing were preparing to take advantage of the victory to conquer Nanchang in one fell swoop and exterminate the rebels of Jin Shengheng and Wang Deren.

The Manchu court received a 600-hundred-mile dispatch from Chen Tai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Only 6,000 of the 30,000 Qing soldiers were killed in the attack on Tong'an, and now Fujian is in danger.

There are only more than 10,000 soldiers and horses in Fuzhou City, the provincial capital, and only two or three thousand men and horses in Lianfu County in other places, and they are in danger of being attacked at any time.

On the second day of the ninth month, Prince Rui's Mansion in Beijing, since May of the third year of Shunzhi, Dolgon felt that the letter of the Shunzhi Emperor was stored in the palace, and every time he transferred troops and sent generals, he had to play the bell seal, which was very inconvenient. Therefore, he immediately sent someone to move the emperor's seal to his own mansion for later use.

He ordered the kings, the beels, the beziers, and the princes to stand by before their palaces every day to deal with the affairs of the government.

Dolgon, dressed in a gold-embroidered python robe, looked down on his courtiers.

Whenever he saw the ministers below saluting him, Dolgon's heart was filled with wantonness.

Although Shunzhi is the emperor, the power is always in his hands, and Emperor Shunzhi has to call himself uncle.

It can be said that it is below one person and above ten thousand.

After receiving the performance of Chen Tai, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, Dolgon himself could not make a decision for a while, so he handed over Chen Tai's performance to the ministers for consultation in the mansion.

After receiving the Chengzhang handed over by Dorgon with both hands, Ganglin, a scholar of the National Academy of History, respectfully received the seal handed over by Dorgon, and read aloud: "Today, Hunan, Jiangxi, and Guangdong are using troops everywhere, and the Qing Dynasty is beyond its reach. In case Zheng Haikou enters Jiangxi, colluding with the reckless, the disaster will become even greater. Therefore, the aunt took a strategy of appeasement, first imprisoned the thief, rested the army and raised the people, and observed his movements; If there is a negative side, it is still cut off. If he is ordered to go to Beijing to return to the flag, he will not be able to obey his orders, so there is no need to be suspicious. As for the issuance of the edict, it is not advisable to be rash. The governor should be given a secret message, and the words of success and success should be appeased, and the advance officer and Zheng Zhilong's family should be sent to him to announce their virtue. He was sincere and obedient, and if he wanted to obtain the imperial edict, he would declare it in the secret edict of the governor, which was quite convenient. If the attachment is not smooth, it will not damage the prestige and seriously hurt it. ”

After Ganglin finished reading, Dolgon opened his mouth and said, "What do you think of Chen Tai's meaning?" ”

Minister Leng Seng Ji immediately objected: "Regent, the minions don't agree. Zheng Chenggong disregarded his father's safety and raised troops to rebel against our Qing Dynasty, how can such a disloyal and unfilial person guarantee that he will not rebel against our Qing Dynasty after surrendering like Li Chengdong and others. The most feared thing is that when he takes advantage of our Qing Dynasty's heavy army to conquer Jiangxi, he will send troops to attack from behind, or go north to attack Nanjing, and then the south will no longer be owned by our Qing Dynasty. Therefore, the minions thought that they should send heavy troops to annihilate and subdue the southeast coast of our Qing Dynasty. ”

Although he was also concerned about what Leng Monk Ji said, Dolgon did not say anything, and there was no expression on his face.

Instead of responding to Leng Monk's suggestion, Dorgon simply glanced up at the other ministers.
