Shi Shan is a general manager of the Green Battalion Foreign Affairs Committee, and the rate belongs to the Jiaxing Association, but now Jiaxing has become an empty city, and the people have fled, scattered, and he is currently the highest governor of the entire Jiaxing County.

"Lord General, there seems to be a thief outside the city, let's run away!" A soldier panted and found Stone Mountain.

Shi Shan has become numb to this kind of news, and there are always some boring gangsters pretending to be thieves these days, wanting to come to earn the city, and asked listlessly: "How many people are here this time, thirty or fifty." ”

The little soldier gestured with his hand, "There are a lot of them this time, more than 100 people, and the general adult, the small one, I don't understand what the guerrilla adults want you to stay." ”

"Admiral Zhang ordered General Feng to leave 1,000 people in Jiaxing, and General Feng sent General Li to lead 500 people to stay in Jiaxing, so General Li Shen left 200 people for Zhou Gui, but Zhou Gui's bastard ran away by himself, leaving only 50 people to Lao Tzu, who you said called me to always outsource! The blame pushes back and forth, and it falls on my head! Looking at the confused soldier, Shi Shan secretly wondered how to spit out a groove on a small soldier.

"By the way, you just said that there are more than 100 thieves in the city? What weapons did they carry? Clothes or the usual old white surname clothes? "When it comes to his own life, Shishan must figure it out.

"They are holding big knives in their hands, and their clothes are a bit similar to ours, but there are no words on them!" The soldier replied truthfully.

Shi Shan recalled Zhou Gui's confession, "If you encounter bandits, gangsters, **, you are not allowed to escape, and if you encounter short hair, you must flee, and come to Hangzhou to receive the reward!" ”

"Gather all the brethren, put on the clothes of the people, and flee by the south gate!" Shi Shan explained, and took the soft that had already been packed up and slipped towards the south gate.

Suzhou

Li Xiucheng, the governor of Jiangsu, Zuo Zongtang, the general of the Southern Expedition, Li Chunfa, the commander of the First Army, Li Shixian, the commander of the Fifth Army, Lin Fengxiang, the commander of the Sixth Army, and Li Kaifang, the commander of the Eighth Army, sat in two rows.

Li Yunzhong stood up, came to the map, pointed to the Huzhou area and asked, "Have all the Qing troops here been evacuated?" Is the Qing army really preparing for a decisive battle with our army in Hangzhou? ”

Zuo Zongtang replied: "According to the report of the vanguard I sent, all the Qing troops in Huzhou Mansion and Jiaxing Mansion have withdrawn to Hangzhou, and the vanguard has captured Deqing County and gradually surrounded Hangzhou. ”

Lin Fengxiang was still wary of the Qing army's insistence on the city, such as the original attack on Guilin, Changsha, and Chongqing, which were all heavy casualties, and proposed: "I think it is better to bypass Hangzhou and attack Shaoxing Mansion and Ningbo Mansion, and wait for the Qing army to attack Hangzhou after it is in chaos!" ”

Li Xiucheng was very confident in the attack power of the Han army, and disagreed with Lin Fengxiang's cautious style of play, and vetoed: "Wherever our Han army goes, the enemy is invincible, and small Hangzhou can block the four armies of the Han Dynasty?" I have already ordered craftsmen to build siege equipment, I have built 100 ladders, 20 giant stone throwers, 50 trebuchets, and 8 assault vehicles. ”

Li Shixian echoed: "A few people may not know the way, the King of Han has transferred 200 cannons from all over the country, and the foreign gun team has also been transferred to the front line of Hangzhou in the name of escort, and only 30,000 people of our first army can take Hangzhou!" ”

Thinking of the achievements of the Han army, there was indeed no city that could not be attacked, Lin Fengxiang's face was flushed and embarrassed, and he reminded himself in his heart to observe how the Han army attacked and insisted on the whole process.

Li Yunzhong was arrogant and shouted: "The army will send troops to Hangzhou early tomorrow morning and capture Zhang Guoliang alive!" ”

late at night

Li Xuan, the director of the Ministry of Rites, said to Zuo Zongtang worriedly: "Brother Ji Gao, what does Your Highness mean by this, do you want to be the general of the southern expedition?" ”

Zuo Zongtang said with a smile: "Liutian doesn't have to worry, His Highness is just fighting the battle of Hangzhou, after all, it is the essence of the Han Army, and it is normal for His Highness not to worry!" ”

Li Xuan let go of his worries and said again and again: "That's good...... As long as Ji Gao can be on his own. ”

"Rest early, I'll have to get up early tomorrow!" Zuo Zongtang got up to see off the guests.

On the evening of February 14, 1852, the 60,000 troops of the Han army had all arrived in Hangzhou, and 200 cannons were lined up in four rows to face the city wall.

Li Yunzhong summoned the generals above the group level to have a banquet in the big tent, and more than 50 generals crowded around, talking and laughing, so it was not lively.

Ye Lian beckoned Zhou Xiuying, the only female general in the tent, to the front, took her hand and said with a smile: "Sister, it turns out that you are also the head of the regiment, why don't you be transferred to our division and accompany those big men all day long!" ”

Zhou Xiuying was very moved, and said worriedly: "It's just a slapper to change generals privately, unless the Ministry of War issues an official document?" ”

Ye Lian patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, sister, this matter is on me, as long as I win the battle tomorrow, I will say to King Han again, I will definitely be able to do it." ”

Zhou Xiuying said enviously: "Is my sister familiar with King Han?" ”

Ye Lian said embarrassedly: "I'm not familiar with it, I've only said three sentences, but His Royal Highness is very easy-going, and I will definitely agree." ”

"Everyone, be quiet, King Han has something to say!" Chen Yucheng shouted loudly below.

Hearing that King Han had something to say, the big tent instantly quieted down, put down the wine glass and food, and all looked at Li Yunzhong intently.

Li Yunzhong raised a glass of wine and said sensationally: "Brothers, such a beautiful day, what I am thinking of at this moment is not to make meritorious contributions, nor to restore China, I just hope that the brothers who drank this cup of wine with me can finish this battle peacefully, and drink the celebration wine with me again, dry!" ”

"!"

Beijing, Upper Study

Xianfeng saw that Su Shun had to come in a hurry to ask for peace late at night, and knew that something big had happened in Lu Dao, so he immediately summoned him in the upper study.

"Chen Su Shun knocks on the emperor, long live the emperor, long live long live!"

Although he was anxious, but the most important rules of the Manchurians, Xianfeng still waited for Su Shun to finish greeting before he eagerly asked, "Is there any news in Hangzhou?" Did Shorthair really send troops to attack the city of Hangzhou? ”

Su Shun took out the fold from the embroidery of his clothes, and presented it with both hands: "According to the report below, Li Yunzhong, the short-haired puppet Han king, personally led 100,000 troops to Hangzhou, counting the days, and today should also come, this is the fold of Zhang Guoliang, the governor of Jiangnan, please take a look at it!" ”

The eunuch An Dehai took the fold and turned around and respectfully handed it to Xianfeng.

After taking the recital, Xianfeng quieted down, opened it as usual, looked at the eight big characters on it, and was deeply moved.

The city survives, the city survives, and the ministers die

Xianfeng held back his tears, picked up the red pen, and wrote twelve words on it:

Hangzhou can be lost, and Zhang Guoliang must not die.

"Li Thief is fierce, everywhere he goes, all the city is ruined, how many days can this Hangzhou City last? Even if you persist, there will be no reinforcements to send in the Qing Dynasty, and I will lose Zhang Qing! Xianfeng handed over the twist to Su Shun and admitted his mistake for the first time.

Su Shun took over the fold from An Dehai's hand, took the opportunity to check it, and saw a few big characters on it, and couldn't help but sigh: Zhang Guoliang will not die this time, and he will be a great minister.

"The emperor doesn't have to worry, Zhang Guoliang has experienced a hundred battles, he is really the pillar of the Qing Dynasty, and he has resisted Li Thief's soldiers several times, I believe that this time he can also be auspicious and defend Hangzhou City!" Su Shun had the heart to befriend Zhang Guoliang, and said: "It's better for Your Majesty to promote Zhang Guoliang and his cadres to the official rank, which can be regarded as an explanation for them." ”

Xianfeng thought so, bowed his head and thought for a while before speaking, "Zhang Guoliang is loyal and brave, and has made many military exploits, and is now promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, the third-class lieutenant of the light car, and Feng Zicai is the chief soldier of Hangzhou......"

The more Su Shun listened, the more frightened he became, a few days ago, the Hunan army sent three great victories in a row and did not get this kind of reward, but only lightly promoted Taqibu to the governor of Hunan, Hu Linyi was promoted to the political envoy of Hubei, Zeng Guofan's merits were offset, and the rest of the rewards were petty officials such as deputy generals and generals.

"Is it inappropriate to make Zhang Guoliang a third-class lieutenant of the light car, after all, he is Han, and he is leading troops to ...... outside" Su Shun plucked up the courage to admonish.

Xianfeng nodded and said: "The third-class light car lieutenant is indeed too light, and then Zhang Guoliang will be crowned as a first-class baron, and he will be in the shadow for three generations!" ”

Baron of the first class, three generations in the shadow! Su Shun hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The emperor thinks twice, and suddenly seals Zhang Guoliang, for fear of causing dissatisfaction among other armies, it is better to wait for Hangzhou to be safe and sound before sealing!" ”

Xianfeng also felt that it made sense, and replied: "Quasi"
