Chapter 22 100,000 Qing soldiers besiege Yong'an

Li Xingyuan stared at Zhou Tianjue and Xiang Rong fiercely, and scolded: "You know that you are fighting for merit, and you don't want to suppress thieves, but even Yong'an was occupied by thieves, and I don't know how the emperor wants to blame, even I have made you tired." ”

"Report ......" At this time, a guard came in from the gate.

"Come in, what's the matter?"

"Lord Qiyu, the thief Kou Hongxiu fled from Wuxuan to Yong'an, and Yang Shun and Xiao Shun also set off from Guixian to Yong'an." The guard replied.

"Zhilu Dao, go down." Li Xingyuan waved his hand to the guard, and after the guard left, he turned the teacup on the table to Xiang Rong and Zhou Tianjue, and scolded: "It's okay now? You don't have to fight, let's go to Yong'an together, this time we must work together, and we can't let the traitors escape. ”

"Chirp" Xiang Rong and Zhou Tianjue replied at the same time. Far from being relieved, the two resented each other even more, and after Zhou Tianjue went back, he wrote an excerpt of impeachment against Xiang Rong. said that he connived at the rebels and sat back and watched Yong'an fall into the thieves.

Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan met Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui's army on the way to Yong'an, and they marched to Yong'an together, and the officers and soldiers along the way were afraid of the momentum of the Taiping army and did not dare to stop it, only Li Xingyuan, Xiang Rong, and Zhou Tianjue led tens of thousands of troops followed behind, and Li Xingyuan ordered reinforcements from other provinces to arrive directly to Yong'an to join the army.

When the Taiping army arrived in Yong'an, the people were full of voices, and everyone was elated, after all, Yong'an was the first big city under the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan occupied the state government of Yong'an, and Yang Xiuqing's mansion was chosen to be in the Capture Department; Xiao Chaogui stationed in the ancestral hall of the Hexi River clan; Feng Yunshan stationed in Mojia Village in the south of the city; Wei Changhui lives in Jiuxian Village; Shi Dakai is stationed in the ancestral hall of Cen Wu in Datang, Dongxiang. And sent people to post notices, let the people grow their hair, wear Han robes, destroy all temples, family separation, men and women are not allowed to live together, and the people of the city are not allowed to live together, and the people in the city are required to believe in God, what is more violent is that Yang Xiuqing ordered to kill all the rich families in the city, confiscate family property, etc., the first two Li Yunzhong is very agreeable, the latter few are very incomprehensible, and Hong Xiuquan has mentioned it, seeing his resolute attitude, Feng Yunshan, Yang Xiuqing, and Xiao Chaogui on the side all have a lot of reasons, and he was dizzy and went back very angrily.

Yang Xiuqing proposed that the middle army, the front army, the rear army, and the left army each guard some dangerous points, exchange some men and horses of the right army, and take turns to garrison them in the future.

Li Xingyuan's army reached Yong'an on the third day, and gathered reinforcements, with a full 100,000 people, which was twice as many as the men, women, and children of the Taiping Army combined, but compared with Han Xin, who "the more the merrier", these three people were not so happy.

These three people lead the troops, and the more soldiers there are, the worse it is.

When the 100,000-strong army marched to Guangxi, they had not yet fought with the Taiping army, and they themselves started to fight. As the saying goes: the Eight Banners are not in harmony with the green battalion, and the green battalion is at odds with the regimental training. The Hunan soldiers were not accustomed to the Yunnan soldiers, and the Yunnan soldiers were not used to the Guangdong soldiers...... Bing and Yong like to scold each other, Dongyong and Xiyong are even more "friendly", people fight directly with knives, and they see red everywhere...... As the commander Xiang Rong and Zhou Tianjue are even more incompatible, when he learned that Zhou Tianjue wrote a recital 'black' him, he even wrote three copies in a row, telling Zhou Tianjue that he was old and unconscious, and he didn't know about the military but commanded blindly, causing the thieves to escape from the encirclement smoothly one after another...... What made Li Xingyuan even more devastated was that some Guangdong soldiers actually started trading with the Taiping army, selling weapons, food, medicines, etc. to the Taiping army at high prices, and the generals of other provinces saw that the Guangdong soldiers had all made a fortune, as if they had pink eye, they vied with each other to do business with the Taiping army, and they even fought for this reason, killing and wounding many people, but the generals lied to Lu Shangguan that they were killed and injured in the battle with the Taiping army. These things made Li Xingyuan, the minister of the Imperial Mission, unconscious and terminally ill.

This can make Xiang Rong and Zhou Tianjue very happy, and they don't quarrel anymore, they each convene and deploy, prepare to go alone, and quickly make some contributions, so as to replace Li Xingyuan.

Xiang Rong first attacked the only place to Yong'an, the Taiping army Lin Fengxiang heavily defended the horseback ridge, this place is condescending, the danger is extreme, if the Qing army passes directly from the path below, the Taiping army as long as the Qing army on the top of the arrows, stones, fire or something will definitely suffer heavy losses. Xiang Rong sent Zhang Guoliang, who had recently taken refuge in him, to lead his troops to attack, and Lin Fengxiang had already set traps on the ground, prepared bows and arrows, and made stones and sharpened wooden sticks to shoot at the Qing army, and the Qing army lost more than 300 people in the first wave. Xiang Rong took turns to send people to attack Mabei Ridge for a full day, and by dusk he had left more than a thousand dead bodies before retreating.

Zhou Tianjue saw that Xiang Rong had worked in vain for a day, and while he had lost his troops and lost his generals but gloated without an inch of merit, he couldn't help but secretly worry that even Xiang Rong, who had always known the soldiers, was bleeding in front of the rebels, and he had no chance to make a contribution. Even the ancients believed that forcibly attacking the city was the best method, and there must be a clever plan to destroy the thieves without using soldiers. After thinking about it for a day and a night, I thought about my hair a lot grayer, and finally had an inspiration when I was drinking tea, and hurriedly sent someone to find out if there were any wells or other water sources in the city. The more he thought about it, the more he thought that this plan was very good, and that he could exterminate the rebels without spending a single soldier, and even the reluctance was written: he found that there was no well spring in this city, and he drank the water of the river flowing outside the city. 10,000 kilograms have been purchased before and after and put into the river. If a thief drinks it, he will surely die...... In addition, Xiang Rong's unit only knew how to blindly attack by force, causing heavy losses to the officers and men, and demoralization ....... ”

Xiang Rong hit all the dangerous places outside the city for half a month, but he found nothing, and while scolding his subordinates for their incompetence, he also secretly worried when he saw Zhou Tianjue's pride in the spring breeze these days. It was still Ulantai who gave Xiang Rong an idea, since the strong attack could not be achieved, then besiege the city, prevent the people and thieves in the city from leaving the city, and starve them to death. To prevent them from going out of the city, a lot of land mines were buried outside the city and on the road, and they did it for three days, Xiang Rong saw that the people who went out of the city, the rebels went out of the city and were killed by the bombing, and the wounded were injured, and applauded, I heard that Zhou Tianjue had written a great victory excerpt, and he also hurriedly wrote a fold, so as not to break the city later, so that the emperor thought that it was all the credit of Zhou Tianjue, and the fold wrote: The fire machine was triggered, the whole mountain collapsed, the mountain collapsed, the mountain collapsed, the ground cracked, the flying rocks were scattered, tens of thousands of thieves and bandits were killed, and the wounded were countless, and the rebels were frightened, and they did not dare to go out of the city, and the city could be broken in a few days. (It's so shameless that the land mine is described as an atomic bomb)

Ulantai also has his own careful thoughts, he is the deputy capital of Guangzhou, and his official position is much lower than that of Xiang Rong and Zhou Tianjue, and he also wants to make meritorious contributions, great merit. He didn't have so many soldiers and horses for Xiang Rong, and he didn't have any subordinates in Guangxi, so if he wanted to make meritorious contributions, he had to rely on himself, and after thinking about it for a few days, he finally remembered a small gift given to him by foreigners, a small organ, and some explosives were put in the box, and if someone opened the box, the gunpowder would explode immediately. He was quite curious at the time, thinking that he could use this to harm people, so he did the same, although he failed, but now he is eager to make meritorious contributions, and he has to try anything, and it takes seven days to try, and many people were injured in the process of doing it, and he excitedly thanked the note on the box: Hong Xiuquan personally opened. After a while, he felt that the credit was not big enough, and added the name of 'Li Yunzhong', but he was still not satisfied after writing, and added the names of 'Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, and Wei Changhui', promised a lot of benefits to his henchman, and sent him to the city. After thinking about it, I also learned from Xiang Rong and Zhou Tianjue, and wrote a recital: the minister came up with a strange plan, the leader of the rebel bandits, Gu has been ambushed, and the city is broken in the near future.
