Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Qing Army Arrives

Hong Xiuquan's palace is set in the former Liangjiang Governor's Yamen, that is, Lu Jianying's unlucky man's residence, the next day of check-in, Yang Xiuqing played: the younger brother Yang Xiuqing stood in His Majesty, and the younger brother Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai knelt in His Majesty, playing for the construction of the palace of the Heavenly Dynasty

Hong Xiuquan readily agreed, and as a result, the Tianwang Palace entered the construction preparation stage.

But this qiē has nothing to do with Wang Feng, you know, the construction of the Heavenly King Palace is a fat difference, he is excluded by the subordinates of the East Palace, such a good thing is naturally not his turn, he is also happy to be idle, patrolling the city after the soldiers, teaching modern military skills, and at the same time practicing in the morning and evening, and strive to restore his strength, and his life is extremely fulfilling!

Since Hong Xiuquan entered Nanjing, the system of separate camps for men and women has become stricter, not to mention Wang Feng, even Huang Weijiang and other Yang Xiuqing's cronies have been forced to separate from their wives and concubines, and they can only answer loudly through the door of the camp when they meet.

Wang Feng has never seen his beloved Sister Luanxiang and the straightforward Sister Shanxiang again, unlike Hong Xuanjiao, Yang Shuijiao and Su Sanniang, the first three need to patrol out the task, if you have a heart, it is not difficult to meet, and the Fu sisters specialize in clerical work, and there is no chance to go out at all, Wang Feng can only sigh in vain!

All of a sudden, not only the people of Nanjing were complaining, but the soldiers of the Taiping Army were also secretly dissatisfied, and they followed Hong Xiuquan's rebellion to run for a good life, but they didn't see a good day, and they weren't even allowed to touch their own women, who could eat it!

Unconsciously, half a month passed in a flash, and in the early morning of this day, Wang Feng had just left the camp with some soldiers, but it was "Bang Bang~~" The gong sounded loudly in the direction of Dongcheng!

"Master Shuai, is there a Qing demon attacking?" Li Erhu couldn't help but guess.

"Good!" Ding Daquan screamed loudly: "Master Shuai, hurry up and ask the East King for orders to fight, his subordinates have not touched a woman since they joined the Taiping Army, and the birds are faint, ahhhhhhhhhh I'm going to kill a few demon cubs to vent my fire! ”

The soldiers cast their sympathetic colors.

This time, Wang Feng did not reprimand, his soldiers, the youngest fifteen or sixteen years old, the older one was no more than thirty, it was the time when the men's fire was at its peak, due to the damn male and female camp system, Wang Feng could only use the harshest means to consume their physical energy, they were also like self-abuse, extremely cooperative with Wang Feng's oppression, but the fire on the body was easy to extinguish, but the fire in the heart could not be extinguished!

"Alas~~" Wang Feng sighed helplessly, he also missed women, but unfortunately Hong Xuanjiao didn't give him a chance again, and even sometimes in the dead of night, he would think of Yang Shuijiao, his mind was poisoned but his body was charming, how to say that he was also a big girl!

"Wang Feng!" When he was thinking wildly, a herald ran over: "The Qing Demon Xiang Rong Department has arrived in the east of the city Xiaolingwei, and the East King has sent you to Chaoyang Gate (now Zhongshan Gate, Nanjing) to meet with it!" ”

"Yes!" Wang Feng arched his hand, and then ordered: "Li Erhu, Ding Daquan, you lead the brothers to continue to inspect, don't be slow!" ”

Due to the arrival of the Rong Department, the whole city of Nanjing is under martial law, the air is full of tension, Chaoyangmen is an urn city, is the communication of Xiaolingwei and the inner city of Nanjing, when Wang Feng rushed to the city at the fastest speed, Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai, Yang Shuijiao, Su Sanniang, Hong Xuanjiao, Lin Fengxiang, Lai Hanying and Li Kaifang and other high-level generals of the Taiping Army were all present, only Hong Xiuquan was not seen!

After saluting the main characters separately, Wang Feng set his eyes on the city, about three or four kilometers away, more than 20,000 Qing troops were encamped, although they were busy, but they were orderly, the camp was strict and lawful, and it was unfolded according to the terrain.

Su Sanniang beckoned: "Wang Feng, what do you think of the Qing army outside the city, you might as well say it and let my sister hear it." ”

Wang Feng knew that Su Sanniang was obviously asking for opinions, but in fact, she was giving herself a chance to express herself in front of everyone, so she turned her attention to Yang Xiuqing.

Yang Xiuqing nodded slightly, Wang Feng muttered: "The Qing army has just arrived, the foothold is not stable, and there are only more than 20,000 soldiers, our army should do its best to defeat it in one fell swoop, and then take advantage of the situation to advance eastward, take Changzhou, Wuxi, Suzhou, and Zhenjiang Yangzhou, the first three places are the land of fish and rice, and are the main tax sources of the Qing court, and the latter two are the nodes of Caoyun.

As for Shanghai, since there is a concession and the situation is more complicated, the subordinates thought that they should first communicate with the foreigners, and strive to persuade the foreigners to adopt a wait-and-see attitude, and then it was not too late to decide on the course of action. ”

Su Sanniang and Hong Xuanjiao both nodded slightly, even Yang Shuijiao, although she snorted very unconvinced, it was rare that she did not refute it, she thought that Wang Feng's mention was still very pertinent, first take the rich land in the south of the Yangtze River, have money and food in hand, and it is easy to say.

Lin Fengxiang pointed downward: "Brother Wang, I don't agree with your opinion, Xiang Rong is stationed in Xiaolingwei, and Xiaolingwei is on higher ground, if our army attacks, it must be from the bottom to the top, and has suffered a big loss invisibly, you don't have to underestimate Xiang Rong, and the generals of the Qing army are either born in civilian officials, or hereditary by the banner people, this person was born in the army, because of his merits all the way to the promotion, once suppressed the Henan Tianlijiao uprising, Xinning Li Yuanfa uprising, Tiandihui and Xinjiang Zhangkar uprising, accumulated rich experience in fighting the righteous army.

The year before last, the king of heaven raised the righteous Jintian, the first encounter was the encirclement and suppression of the Xiang Rong Department, although it lasted more than half a year of whirling operations, in the autumn of the same year to break Xiang Rong, but in fact, we all know that the reason for the victory is not the lack of combat power of the Xiang Rong Department, but the internal contradictions of the Qing army, disagreement, action disagreement, and ineffective attack, so that our army can find an opportunity to take advantage of.

The same is true of the Yong'an breakthrough after that, since Yong'an, Xiang Rong led his troops to chase after him, and was awarded the minister of the Qin Mission, specializing in military affairs, and fought with our army many times, and he can be regarded as the old opponent of our Taiping Army, and our strategy and tactics are often targeted arrangements.

Brother Wang, if you look carefully, the Qing army's camps and villages protect each other, with a total of hundreds of cannons, mainly for defense, obviously to prevent our army from advancing eastward into the south of the Yangtze River. ”

Lai Hanying also added: "The morale of the Qing army is when it is strong, and it is forced to attack, even if it is taken, it will inevitably suffer heavy casualties, our army can ignore it for the time being, and deal with it with procrastination. ”

In fact, Lin Fengxiang and Lai Hanying's mention cannot be said to be wrong, but they consider everything, but their vision only involves the tactical level, and does not rise to the strategic level to look at the problem, which also fully reflects that they are only generals, not handsome.
