I don't know how long Emperor Hu Tian and Emperor Hu have been, Xiao Yungui is immersed in the pleasure of a long drought and a rain, since it is a long drought and a rain, it is naturally impossible to be just a drop, and the thick physique of the King of the West made Xiao Yungui do seven times a night. Then he hugged the jade man in his arms and fell asleep deeply, it turned out that happiness was so simple, that is, his wife and children were just hot kang heads.

A call woke Xiao Yungui up, and he struggled to open his eyes to find that it was already dark. He gently moved Hong Yun'er, who was curled up like a kitten in his arms, and sat up to find that he actually had a sore back, Hong Yun'er's body was also a martial arts body, and he had ten drops of blood, and men always paid more in this kind of thing, so he also felt very tired.

Getting up and covering his yellow robe indiscriminately, Xiao Yungui walked to the door, but it was Tang Erniu who shouted softly outside the door: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, please get up, there is a report from the Li inspection point." ”

Xiao Yungui answered through the door: "I know, this king will come soon." He immediately turned around and put on his clothes, but saw Hong Yun'er on the gum pulling the embroidered quilt lazily, her snow-white arms and fragrant shoulders exposed, and asked with a smile: "What's the matter?" ”

Xiao Yungui sighed lightly and said, "The Baojie army over there in Ningbo has reported, I'll go and see first, you can sleep for a while." ”

Hong Yun'er shook her head and said, "I can't sleep, I also want to hear what the good news is." Then he got up and looked dumbfounded, and said with a red face: "It's all your fault for being in a hurry, my wedding dress is torn!" ”

Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment, and when he looked up, he saw Hong Yun'er pouting, holding the white Western wedding dress in her hand, but it was already in tatters and could not be worn anymore. Xiao Yungui laughed dryly and said, "Why don't you wear mine first, I'll lead the male soldiers away later, and then you and the female soldiers go back to your room to change your clothes." ”

Hong Yun'er blushed and said, "That's the only way." ”

Xiao Yungui quickly got dressed. Put away his Western clothes, and before leaving, he turned around and said, "Wife, why don't you pack up today and move in with me." ”

Hong Yun'er put on her close-fitting coat and was wearing Xiao Yungui's robe, the old man of the robe was dragged on the ground, and when she heard this, she smiled and said, "No, I don't live in the wolf's den." Then he blushed and said: "This kind of thing still has to be controlled, on weekdays, we would have gotten up to practice martial arts and work, and I will come to you if there is a situation in the future." ”

Xiao Yungui snorted and walked out of the room with a bitter face. This little girl also knows that she wants to catch this hand, and it seems that she will never want to be full.

Out of the door, Tang Erniu greeted him, and bowed and said, "His Royal Highness the King of the West, the messenger of Li Inspection has arrived." Ningbo Dajie ...... Yes?! It turned out that Tang Erniu raised his head after saluting, but saw that the mighty beard of the King of the West was gone. Submandibular clean. Almost unrecognizable at first glance.

Xiao Yungui touched his chin and smiled, "What? Haven't you ever seen anyone shave? ”

Tang Erniu said in a daze: "King Xi, didn't this parent of the hair and skin teach that you can't go easily?" ”

Xiao Yungui snorted, pretending to be very annoyed and said: "This king doesn't want to, he accidentally burned his beard by lighting the lamp last night, so he can only shave it first." This king is already very annoyed, and the West Queen Niang has also counted down this king, why do you want to say a few words? ”

Tang Erniu hurriedly bowed down and said, "Little brother doesn't dare, King Xi takes care of his body." In a few days, the beard will definitely grow again. ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said, "Let's go, let's see the good news." After saying that, he left first, but the corners of his mouth were snickering, this guy obviously shaved his beard for his own selfish desires, but in turn he pretended to be distressed, which saved a lot of trouble.

Arrived at the customs yamen hall, Wang Minyun, Qian Jiang, Lin Qirong, Zhou Lichun and others were there, everyone was very excited to talk about the victory in Ningbo, Tang Erniu shouted that His Royal Highness the King of the West drove out, and everyone tidied up their official uniforms and hats and bowed.

Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "It's all old brothers, so there's no need to be polite." ”

Everyone got up and looked at each other for a moment, and the beard of the king of the west was gone. Everyone didn't react for a while, and looked at Xiao Yungui in a daze.

Seeing everyone's expressions, Xiao Yungui immediately took the preemptive action, and said with a bitter face that his beard was burned off last night, and he was very annoyed, but blocked back what Wang Minyun and others wanted to ask. Zuihou Wang Minyun, Qian Jiang and others also comforted the king of the west, saying that this is a blessing and a misfortune, and the king of the west does not have to blame himself.

Seeing that everyone didn't pay attention to their beards anymore, Xiao Yungui asked about the battle in Ningbo, and Lin Qirong said after carrying the battle report: "After Li inspected the troops out of Hangzhou, he contacted He Wenqing and others of the Zhuji Lianpeng Party, and a total of more than 5,000 Lianpeng Party rebels were obtained. The Qing demon was shaken, and the Qing demon group practiced the township Yong one after another, among which the group training organized by Shengshan Shao Yuanxu Hongtou Yong and Simen Xie Jing and other organizations organized the largest number of Huangtou Yong, and they stuck to Yuyao, Cixi and other places together with the Qing demon. Li Jiandian then sent troops to Yuyao and contacted Yuyao heroes Huang Chunsheng and others to jointly attack Yuyao. Under the guidance of He Wenqing, Huang Chunsheng and other rebels, Li Jiandian swept Yuyao, Cixi and other places within three days. The Qing demon and the regimental training defeated the army and retreated to Ningbo. ”

Hearing this, Xiao Yungui hummed and asked, "He Wenqing and Huang Chunsheng have made a lot of contributions in this battle, where did the two come from?" ”

Lin Qirong said: "Li Jiandian said the deeds of the two in the war report, He Wenqing is more than 30 years old, the word is heavy, he is a national student, Zhuji Zhaojiaquan people, he has been practicing medicine for a living, he has a high reputation in the community, and the people and villagers everywhere call him a living Bodhisattva. Before the battle of Hangzhou, Xiang Rong and others in order to raise money and food, in Shaoxing, Zhuji and other places wantonly looted, the people were miserable, He Wenqing used the early years of walking the people when the creation of the Lianpeng Party as the basis, convened a more than 5,000 people of the rebel army, just waiting for our army to go south to raise the flag in response. Therefore, after Li Jiandian's troops arrived, He Wenqing took the initiative to contact Li Jiandian, and there was a great victory in Shaoxing. ”

Xiao Yungui sighed, and also remembered He Wenqing, the Lianpeng Party uprising in history was a few years later, because in history, the Taiping Army did not launch an Eastern Crusade after the capital Tianjing, the Qing army was very big in southern Zhejiang, and the Lianpeng Party and other righteous armies did not cause trouble. But now that Hangzhou has been breached, and a large number of Qing troops in Fujian have been pinned down in Xiamen, it is reasonable for the Lianpeng Party to rise up in advance.

Xiao Yungui asked again: "What about Huang Chunsheng?" ”

Lin Qirong continued: "Huang Chunsheng is also in his thirties, a native of Huang Li Bao Village, Zheng Xiang, Yuyao, and his family is quite wealthy. Sex likes to practice martial arts, has fought with the evil gentry and local tyrants to damage the left eye, is bold and righteous, often robs the rich and helps the poor, known as the king of Xiaochuang. Last year, there was a great drought in Yuyao, and this year there was a flood, and Xiang Rongbu Qing Demon urged Yuyao and other places to supply money and grain to the war, and the rich people of the government pressed very tightly. Huang Chunsheng thought about the livelihood of the common people's tenant farmers, donated a sum of money for the people, and asked the government to halve the tax on money and grain this year. How do you know that the local landlords surnamed Qu, Dong and Ye are not allowed. threatened to punish the officials, Yuyao Zhixian accepted Huang Chunsheng's donation of silver but repented, and still asked all villages and households to pay all the money and grain. In a fit of rage, Huang Chunsheng led the tenant farmers of Huang Li Bao Village to set up rent resistance bureaus, and Liang Lane, Cixi Longshan, Shijiudu and Shangyu and other places followed suit, a total of 18 rent resistance bureaus. Commonly known as the Yuyao Eighteen Bureau, the people pushed him as the head of the General Bureau. Against the government. Subsequently, the Qing demon gathered local regiments to train Hongtouyong, Huangtouyong and others to attack Huang Chunsheng's anti-grain rebel army. After Huang Chunsheng's army was defeated, he moved to Dagang to hold on. After Li Jiandian's army arrived, Huang Chunsheng also sent people to contact, and then attacked Yuyao and Jikecixi, and this person was quite popular in the local area. ”

"What official position did Li Xiucheng ask He Wenqing and Huang Chunsheng for?" Xiao Yungui asked after listening.

Lin Qirong looked at the war report: "Li Jiandian suggested that He Wenqing can be a general, and Huang Chunsheng is a supervisor. ”

Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "These two people have made great contributions, and the official photos were issued according to Li Xiucheng's suggestions." What happened to the Battle of Ningbo next? ”

Lin Qirong looked at the battle report and said: "After Li Jiandian conquered Shaoxing, Shangyu, Zhuji, Yuyao, Cixi and other places, the original army of more than 18,000 people plus the two rebel armies of He Wenqing and Huang Chunsheng has reached more than 30,000 people, and there are people nearby who have served like rain, and there are already more than 50,000 people when they arrive in Ningbo. Tens of thousands of family members of the people. Li inspected the troops in two routes, and attacked Ningbo from the north and south. Zhang Jingqu of the Qing Demon Ning Shaotai Dao and Chen Shizhang, the commander of the soldiers and horses, under the protection of the British consul Charifeus, the French consul Obra, and the American consul Braque, fled to Dinghai on a warship, while the governor of Yinxian County ran away from the city, and his life and death were unknown. The urban area south and west of the Sanjiangkou in Ningbo soon fell into the hands of our army. ”

Xiao Yungui snorted heavily and said: "These foreign brothers are really enthusiastic, they are doing a lot of business with us in Shanghai, and they are helping the Qing Demon in Ningbo, they really don't let go of both." ”

Lin Qirong nodded and said: "Exactly, Li Jiandian said in the war report that he sent many notes to the consuls of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, asking them not to help the Qing Demon, and the consuls of Britain, France, the United States and other countries in Ningbo replied one after another, only saying that they were out of humanitarianism and evacuated irrelevant personnel in the city, which was really talking nonsense with their eyes open." ”

Xiao Yungui snorted, signaled Lin Qirong and continued, thinking that Britain, France, the United States and other countries still have illusions about the Manchu Qing and shelter Zhang Jingqu, Chen Shizhang and other Qing army generals, but they are also worried that after the city is broken, these people will be killed by the Taiping army like Wu Jianzhang, and they will not be able to give a good account to the Manchus.

Lin Qirong continued: "The north bank of the river is a concession, and the consulates of Britain, France, and the United States are located there. When the Taiping army reached the periphery of Ningbo, the rich men and gentry inside and outside Ningbo also hid in the concession area. Li Jiandian knew that the war was not optimistic, and Zhang Jingqu and Chen Shizhang would definitely collude with local regimental training or pirates to counterattack when they fled. Therefore, Li Jianjian urgently convened the generals of all armies to discuss and redeploy. Subsequently, Li Jian ordered Huang Chunsheng to repair the forts demolished by the Qing soldiers along the river in Heyimen and other places, and the city walls that were collapsed by artillery fire; sent He Wenqing to lead a group of men and horses to seize Xiangshan, Ninghai, Taizhou and other counties on the periphery of Ningbo; Lu Xinlan, who joined the Taiping Army in Cixi, was appointed as the general system of Ningbo, established defense troops and territorial defenders in Ningbo and the counties that had been captured, and implemented a policy of taxation and grain collection in Ningbo and its subordinate counties; Get in touch with those who have revolted against the Qing Dynasty in various places, encourage and support them to expand Liliang, and cooperate with the army to fight against internal and external enemies. In order to guard against the Xiangyong in the Siming Mountain area, mainly Wu Fanglin who was entrenched in Dalan, Wang Xiaohao in Da Lei, Li Yi in Zhangcun, Ying Tingzhang and other local regiments to train and harass the rear of Ningbo, Li Jian sent two military horses with a total number of more than 5,000 people to guard the Jishi Port, the first line of Gulin and the first line of Bailiang Bridge on the Yinjiang River. Soon, the city of Ningbo was restored to its original order, the closed shops and shops were reopened, the silent streets were full of people again, and even the sound of drums resounded in the theater bookstore. Li inspected the notice to the people, ordered long hair, and changed clothes. Ningbo Prefecture was changed to Ningbo County, and Lu Xinlan, a native of Cixi, was appointed as the general system, with jurisdiction over 5 counties, Ci, Zhen, Feng and Xiang. The Manchu Customs Supervision and Taxation Department was expelled, and the Zhejiang Customs was changed to Tianning Customs, and our army had fully controlled Ningbo. (To be continued......)
