In the afternoon of the next day, Lin Haijiang visited Ye Mingchen, and Ye Mingchen also knew Lin Haijiang's origin and intentions, so both of them looked a little embarrassed, after all, one was the governor of Liangguang who was a feudal official, and the other was the admiral of the Guangdong Navy.

Originally, a woman with an identity like Ye Mingchen or Lin Haijiang was interesting, and generally people who wanted to get close would be reminded or warned, but Wanxin played a trick and made Ye Mingchen misunderstand, and Lin Haijiang carried the black pot, but the most bitter thing was Lin Haijiang, he couldn't explain it at all, and with the addition of Wanxin, no one believed it when he clarified it.

Ye Mingchen and Lin Haijiang added tea several times in a row, and for this accidental crash, Ye Mingchen finally said embarrassedly: "Brother Xian!" is the so-called romance is the foundation of this literati, and the people below the old man didn't inquire clearly, I don't know what happened to you in Qinghualou yesterday? ”

Ye Mingchen finally diverted the topic, but he was also very depressed, what can he do in the Academy?

Lin Haijiang said in his heart, no wonder he always said that literati scratch customers, and it was really enough, he always wanted to arch tender grass at such an old age, so he arched his hand and said: "I am diligent and ready for war every day, and I am grateful to serve the emperor and serve the court. ”

As a result, Lin Haijiang opened his mouth and Ye Mingchen immediately found that it was Lin Haijiang who was even more shameless than himself and thicker-skinned? If you go to the scoop to remember it, you can also involve the saint, and say that he is disrespectful! He had a solemn face again.

So the two sides had to laugh awkwardly for a while, and then Ye Mingchen served tea to the guests! This is Lin Haijiang, if he was someone else, how could Ye Mingchen give up? He is the governor of Liangguang, and he is equivalent to the same figure as the emperor in the local area, and robbing a woman with him is simply a birthday boy who hangs himself.

However, it can only be said that Wanxin's shield is very good, Lin Haijiang is Ye Mingchen's most important subordinate, although there are also some rumors about Lin Haijiang that have reached Ye Mingchen's ears, but Ye Mingchen laughed, after all, Lin Haijiang fought hard to fight for himself when the bandits attacked the city, and he was not only not punished by the imperial court, but also was rewarded heavily, which is the credit of Lin Haijiang.

Ye Mingchen is a person with clear grievances, if he knew that Lin Haijiang had such a leg with Wanxin, the boss of Qinghualou, he would have taken Wanxin out in a sedan chair and sent it to Lin Haijiang's mansion, the only thing that made him feel funny was that Lin Haijiang did it very secretly.

Now Ye Mingchen because of Lin Haijiang as the commander of the Guangdong Navy, Guangdong's shipping tax has doubled, and those ships that originally took the British flag in Hong Kong and did not need to pay taxes have also paid taxes, and the British rice flags have been replaced with pennants printed with tax flowers.

Ye Mingchen knew that this was Lin Haijiang's ghost, taking advantage of the fact that the main force of the British Far East Fleet was transferred away and only two or three kittens were available, pretending to be pirates to attack those who evaded taxes, no matter what the method was, after all, the tax was really increased, Ye Mingchen believed that as long as there was silver handed over to the imperial court, even if there was a little problem, the imperial court would not blame.

A few days later, the first batch of munitions to Tianjing quietly set sail in batches under Lin Haijiang's care, and the cargo ships sailed with the anti-theft fleet in the naval battalion.

According to Lin Haijiang's words, how bold a person is, how much wealth he can have! Hold up the bold, starve the faint-hearted! Most of these millions of silver were collected through the seizures of the Old Port, and most of them were contributed by the British East India Company.

Since the rise of the power of the Old Port, the fleet of the British East India Company has been repeatedly plundered, especially the plundering fleet of the East India Company has been attacked by the surname of destruction, and the attackers are very vicious, robbing, killing, and destroying ships! Since then, the British East India Company has lost more than three million pounds of cargo in the first half of the year alone, and the pension of the dead crew members has made the Indian Governor Glans very troubled.

The huge losses made Glans realize that someone was targeting him, but the Crimean War had affected the entire military power of the British Empire, and going to sea to suppress bandits could only be used as a means of self-comfort, at least for a while.

With the support of Prussia, the construction speed of the old port can be described as rapid, and Lin Haijiang's sale of old-style arms to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom undoubtedly opened up a way to generate income, but this premise is that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot collapse, otherwise he will not even be able to recover the freight from the old port to Guangzhou.

The Taiping Army has Lin Haijiang secretly sold the sample guns and foreign cannons in the past, and the combat effectiveness has really been improved to a certain extent, Lin Haijiang is quite unimpressed, the Taiping Army only lacks production capacity, and even the most basic maintenance and repair can not be done, such a lovely customer is simply difficult to find for Lin Haijiang, and it can be said that he dumps and sells old arms as an excellent object.

In September of the fourth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty, that is, in September 1854, Zeng Guofan commanded the Qing army in six provinces to attack the Taiping army in three ways, intending to compress the strategic depth of the Taiping army, echoing Xiang Rongyao in Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps, and strategically controlling the Taiping army's southward advance into northern Hunan from the periphery.

Zeng Guofan received a secret letter from Su Shun and learned that the Taiping army still purchased foreigners' weapons through secret channels, so he immediately urged Luo Zenan and Taqibu to lead their headquarters to the south to attack Daye and rejuvenate the country.

Bukeshen and Wang Guocai are the north road, attacking Qizhou and Guangji, and Peng Yulin in the middle road is the water division along the Yangtze River to the east. Zeng Guofan couldn't sit back and wait for the Taiping army to become stronger, and Su Shun's quick battle was very much in line with his original strategy, but this time the Sanxiang soldiers were definitely indispensable for a series of bloody battles.

What made Zeng Guofan helpless was that the foreign guns and cannons purchased by Lin Haijiang entrusted by the imperial court before were extremely sharp, and the price was fair, but now that Jing Shou and others were preparing to buy them in Shanghai, they were old and unbearable, and there were often many problems, and the opinions of each battalion were great.

Zeng Guofan was very puzzled, why did the imperial court go so repeatedly on this matter? The money for buying arms by himself is the hard-earned money raised by the fathers of Sanxiang? Unexpectedly allowed Jing Shou and other delusional people to be greedy for ink? The imperial court turned a blind eye and listened to it? Every time the Hunan army wins, it is a miserable victory? What is the rationale for this?

The more Zeng Guofan thought about it, the more cold he became, I am afraid that only Su Shun in the entire court can sympathize with his own Han Chen.

There was still no turning back arrow from the bow, and Zeng Guofan naturally would not sit back and wait for Jingshou's weapon, so Taqibu, the admiral of the Qing army on the south road, led the troops to Tieshan and camped, and arrived at Daye County at dawn on September 21.

The Taiping army also built a fortification in Wulipai to defend itself, Taqibu attacked in three ways, the middle road ambushed the bird gun team attacked under the tea tree, the Taiping army went out to meet the battle, the Qing army left and right took the opportunity to burn the Taiping army barracks, and was subjected to intensive fire by the Taiping army musket team.

The Qing army in a wide area had to risk death to raise a shield in order to force a breakthrough, but how could a wooden shield covered with iron cover resist a rifled gun like Shaliman? Although the Taiping army that attacked was repulsed, the Qing army that attacked the camp was strewn with corpses, and Li Zhibin, the fierce general of the Hunan army, was trapped outside the camp, unable to advance or retreat, and did not want to be captured and killed.

On the occasion of the bloody battle on the South Road, Peng Yulin of the Middle Route Army led the water division to arrive at Qizhou and Taoist Yuanshi and Weiyuankou, and attacked the Taiping army in Banbishan, and the Taiping army under the leadership of the general Shi Zhencang launched a bloody battle with the Qing army, and waited for half a month.

After a long attack, Zeng Guofan was furious and beheaded three guerrillas in a row, personally commanded the battle, and attacked Banbi Mountain by land and water. On the one hand, the Qing general Luo Zenan was sent to attack Banbi Mountain from Ma'anshan, and the Qing deputy general Taqibu was sent to take a detour to seize Fuchikou, which was five miles downstream of Banbi Mountain.

Zeng Guofan dispatched sailors to attack the foot of half of the mountain at all costs, used the big axe of the flood furnace to melt and chisel the iron cables, and used 20 twelve-pound foreign cannons purchased from Lin Haijiang to bombard the Oxliver Rock Fort to the Wuwangmiao camp.

More than 5,000 Taiping troops in Banbishan were attacked on three sides, but Shi Zhencang calmly commanded, using 30 foreign cannons that had been hidden on the fort to take advantage of Zeng Guofan's defense, and knocked out the Hunan artillery that entered its firing range at one time, and fired 2,000 muskets in four groups.

For a time, the swarming Hunan army fell to the ground like a sack, and the blood flowed like a river, and then Shi Zhencang turned the muzzle of the gun to bombard the main team of the Hunan army with scattered grenades, cutting off its connection with the forward.

But the terrain is extremely unfavorable, the soldiers can not be deployed, the soldiers who were shot fell into the river one after another, the battle until the evening, Zeng Guofan vomited blood and collected the troops, at this moment the river surface is floating everywhere the corpses of the Hunan army and the wreckage of the ship, Zeng Guofan sent three thousand men and horses to smelt the horizontal lock under the direct fire of the guns and cannons without survival.

When the news of Zeng Guofan's defeat reached Guangzhou, Ye Mingchen was shocked, and Lin Haijiang was surprised on the surface, but in fact he knew very well that if he hadn't been willing to give the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom this batch of weapons on credit, Zeng Guofan might have really won half of the great victory as in history.

Lin Haijiang knew that the Qing army could be completely defeated in this battle, but the Taiping army could not afford to lose, Banbishan was the last strategic place for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's western expeditionary forces to contain the Hunan army, and once the Taiping army was lost, it would face the loss of strategic initiative, which was extremely terrible for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Even in the later period, even a series of victories in the southern part of the Yangtze River and the northern camp of the Yangtze River could not regain the strategic initiative, which shows the important surname of the Battle of Banbishan.

Zeng Guofan's defeat can be said to have shocked the entire imperial court, you must know that Zeng Guofan is the most capable team at this moment, and Monk Lingqin's Mongolian iron cavalry Xianfeng is reluctant to use it like this.

However, Jing Shou and others, who were at ease in Shanghai, were a little uncomfortable, because Su Shun participated in their book heavily, attributing all the reasons for the defeat to the purchase of foreign guns and foreign cannons, and said that Jing Shou and others were shoddy in them, embezzling money, etc.

This defeat can be said to have greatly injured the vitality of the Hunan army, and the soldiers who can fight were all lost in the battle of Banbi Mountain, Xianfeng also began to seriously review the strategy of Jingshou, a mediocre talent, Xianfeng really didn't want to see Hanchen's power grow, but he didn't want to see the Qing Kingdom Mansion collapse.

This battle can be said to be the bitter fruit of the pit dug by Lin Haijiang, but the person who fell into the pit and tasted it was poor Zeng Guofan!
