Seeing that the officers and soldiers only attacked the soldiers and horses outside the city a few times, they began to dig deep bases around and build a walled city, and they didn't know what the officials and soldiers were doing, so Li Yunzhong asked Hong Xiuquan to discuss, and when they arrived at the palace, they saw Yang Xiuqing and them looking around a box, and when he stepped forward to take a look, he saw that the box read: Hong Xiuquan, Li Yunzhong, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, and Feng Yunshan personally opened. So he asked them, "What is this box?" ”

Feng Yunshan said: "It was sent by the officers and soldiers outside the city, and Xiuqing and I are discussing how to deal with it." ”

Li Yunzhong said: "What are the good officials and soldiers doing when they send boxes, is it filled with human heads?" "Thinking of the head, there are no important figures in the Taiping Army who have fallen into the hands of the Qing Army recently.

Yang Xiuqing ordered someone to put the box in the courtyard, called a captive to open the box, and said, "I'm afraid that the Qing demon will use the organ to harm people." ”

Li Yunzhong secretly thought, fuss, 'boom', the prisoner was drenched in blood, lying on the ground without a sound, Li Yunzhong was frightened, he really couldn't imagine that there were such advanced people in the Qing army, who were advanced for more than 100 years at once, and could apply for a patent.

Xiao Chaogui said: "Fortunately, Xiuqing is alert, otherwise we would all be killed." ”

Beijing

Xianfeng looked at the three folds, his face was expressionless, and the teacup fragments on the ground were broken, he was really angry with these three minions, and he talked a lot, which one of them said that the city would be broken on the same day, but after waiting for so long, they were all secret reports of losing soldiers and losing generals, without an inch of merit, and not moving according to the soldiers.

Sai Shanga was just awarded the chief military minister by Xianfeng this year, and he boasted of knowing the soldiers, and now he saw that the emperor was sad for the rebels in Guangxi, and he was very unbearable, and knelt on the ground and said to the emperor: "These are the incompetence of the generals, and the ministers have been familiar with the art of war since childhood, and they are willing to share the worries for the emperor, and personally go to Guangxi to pacify the rebels, please ask the emperor for permission." ”

Xianfeng looked at Sai Shang Ah with a little relief, originally he dismissed Mu Zhang'a, and no one was available to pick Sai Shang'a, only to know that he was just a martial artist and didn't know how to govern, but he was indeed loyal and courageous, and he could share his worries for me, Li Xingyuan was useless, just let you go to supervise the division and suppress the bandits.

Thinking of this, Xianfeng said: "Passing the decree, Li Xingyuan appointed himself as the minister of the Qincha, without any merit, but made the rebels bigger, and dismissed them from their posts and investigated. ”

One day later, Saishan'a rushed to Hunan with a holy decree to discuss the suppression of bandits with Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Hunan.

Saishana sighed and said: "The officers and troops have been defeated repeatedly, all because the generals are greedy for life and afraid of death, and the green camp is even more unbearable, so I have to think of another clever plan." ”

I saw Luo Bingzhang whispering a few words to the person next to him, and after a while, the man led a man in his thirties in, pointed at him and said: "This person's name is Jiang Zhongyuan, he was born in the Jiang family, which is known as the strongest clan in Xinning, and although there are not many Chu Yong under his leadership, he is brave and invincible. He has made great contributions to the uprising of the party many times, and now he still holds the title of magistrate. ”

Sai Shang'a looked at Jiang Zhongyuan, the more he looked at it, the more satisfied he became, called him in front of him, and said to him very mysteriously: "These rebels of the Taiping Army are very difficult to deal with, and they are not quite the same as the bandits you exterminated in Hunan. ”

Jiang Zhongyuan asked: "What's different about these anti-thieves, are they very powerful?" ”

Saishan'a took out a letter written to him by a Guangxi official, and pointed to one of the paragraphs for Jiang Zhongyuan to read: "Once the bandits joined the God Worship Cult and rebelled against them, they were not afraid of death. ”

After reading it, Jiang Zhongyuan felt that the Eight Banners Green Battalion, which was leaned on by the imperial court as the Great Wall, was really useless, thinking of the Chu Yong he had raised, and the farmers with a little training were also more effective than the Eight Banners Green Battalion, why not let them join the army to exterminate the rebels? He spoke his mind to Seishan.

Sai Shang'a fell into deep thought, nodded slowly, and said to Jiang Zhongyuan: "This plan can be as low as 100,000 male soldiers, you immediately recruit and practice bravery, and follow me into Gui to suppress thieves." ”

Luo Bingzhang was slightly comforted when he saw the speculation between Jiang Zhongyuan and Sai Shang, and when he received the news of Hong Xiuquan's rebellion, he was extremely frightened, he knew Hong Xiuquan, they were all from Huaxian County, Guangdong, for fear of being affected by this little fellow, and they did their best to transport troops and grain to Guangxi. He couldn't figure it out, Hong Xiuquan also read books such as "Analects" and "Mencius", and he followed the path of the imperial examination, why did he rebel for Lu? Where did he know that Hong Xiuquan was frustrated in the imperial examination, and read a book "Advice to the World" in his depression, and since then he has a rebellious opinion, he thinks that the biggest demon in the world is the emperor of China, and he dreams of overthrowing him.

When Jiang Zhongyuan followed Sai Shang'a to Guangxi, there were already 1,200 Chu Yong around him, and he also invited his right-hand man Liu Changyou and three brothers Jiang Zhongjun, Jiang Zhongji, Jiang Zhongshu, as well as Jiang Zhongxin, Jiang Zhongyi and other uncles and brothers.

Li Xingyuan under the city of Yong'an heard that Xianfeng had sent a new minister to replace him, regardless of his serious illness, personally went to the city to supervise the battle, and ordered Xiang Rong, Ulantai and others to attack the city with all their might, the two of them for the first merit, desperately attacked Yong'an, fought for three days in a row, Li Xingyuan first could not support the death in the army, the suicide note said: "The thief can not be peaceful, disloyal; Raising can't end, not filial piety. After the death, he was used to serve as a regular servant, and he was to blame the ministers. "Xiang Rong and Ulantai retreated and repaired, and discussed not attacking Yong'an before the arrival of the Great City of Qincha.

Xiao Chaogui saw that Yong'an was not only not captured by the Qing army, but also became more and more stable, and held on for more than six months before less than 2,000 people were killed or wounded. He gathered all the great and small generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom together and said, "Jesus will come down to earth."

Brother Tian pointed at Hong Xiuquan and said: "Xiuquandi, you can be like this, Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chao have a lot of achievements, how can you not reward them." ”

Hong Xiuquan said: "The younger brother is already writing a reward and sacrifice text, so he is preparing to seal the vassals,"

……

In August 1850, Hong Xiuquan planned to divide the kings and called the main generals in the army to discuss.

Li Yunzhong objected: "Today, it is really inappropriate to occupy a place with a big palm to be crowned king, it will only make the Qing army work harder to encircle and suppress, and the king of heaven burns books everywhere he goes, and whips the statues of Confucius and Mencius, these are like the tyranny of the Qin Dynasty, if this continues, the scholars will oppose the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, how can they join." ”

Yang Xiuqing retorted: "Everything the Heavenly King does is called by Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother, how can it be wrong? I think you've been tempted by demons, and you should admit your mistake. ”

Feng Yunshan persuaded: "Now that the feudal king system is to stabilize people's hearts, we will discuss that we will break through from Yong'an in a few days, turn to attack Guilin, and then occupy Guangxi." ”

Li Yunzhong saw that they wanted to break through without consulting him, obviously wanting to let himself be a substitute for the dead ghost in Yong'an, so he immediately went out to convene the old army, let all the right army move to the north of the city, and without notifying Feng Yunshan, he brought the rear army to the north of the city and summoned all the brothers to him to discuss matters.
