When the imperial court received the news of the fall of the entire territory of Guangdong, it was already the end of September.

In September, the cold snap hit, and it snowed heavily in the northwest, and the riots of the Hui people gave the governor of Shaanxi and Gansu a headache.

The size of Sichuan's Jinchuan also made the governor of Sichuan anxious.

Only the rebellion in Shandong, Anhui and other places in the north, under the rapid dispatch of troops by the imperial court, encircled and suppressed, and appeased, lasted only two months before it ended.

Before you know it, it's November.

Since the imperial court did not have troops to go south, Nie Feng relied on Guangdong Province to expand his army, and at the same time hyped up the Taiping Sect and the Taiping Army.

A month later, Nie Feng appeased 50,000 Green Battalion troops and 30,000 Eight Banner troops in Guangdong Province, together with the original 50,000 Taiping troops and 10,000 Tiandihui congregations, and first attacked Guangxi westward.

In less than half a month, the panorama of Guangxi fell.

Then Nie Feng once again led his troops to attack Fujian.

A month later, Fujian Province fell.

At the beginning of November, the news of the fall of Fujian and Guangxi provinces reached the capital, causing Qianlong to fall seriously ill.

But because the time has entered winter, even if you have to send troops from other places, it is simply too late.

In desperation, he had to let Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Yunnan and other places strictly defend the Taiping army.

In the era of rebellion, we can only wait for the coming year.

It's a pity that Nie Feng will definitely not let himself stop.

In September, Nie Feng rebrainwashed the surrendered sailors.

At the end of September, sailors were sent to Siam to buy grain rice.

In November, the sailor rushed back with 100,000 stone of rice.

By November, the three provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, and Fujian had fallen into Nie Feng's hands, and the number of troops had reached 300,000.

This 100,000 stone of rice will last for a month at most.

So as soon as the sailor unloaded the rice, he set off again, taking the new team of sailors that Nie Feng had just trained.

Nie Feng's request to the sailor was to bring back one million stone of rice by March next year.

Once a decisive battle with the Qing court, this million stone of rice may only last for two or three months.

After all, in addition to the army, the servant army also needs to consume food and grass.

After entering November, the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Guizhou gradually stabilized, and Nie Feng continued to select the best of the best among the Taiping troops in various places, with 300,000 Taiping troops and 30,000 elites.

When he kept walking around, wanted to recuperate, and greedy for pleasure and other information, he confused the Qing court officials in Yunnan, Jiangxi and other places.

brazenly marched into Yunnan.

Yunnan originally had 100,000 Qing troops, facing off against the Truong dynasty in Vietnam.

Nie Feng blocked the news of the Taiping army's dispatch for a month, mobilized 30,000 elites, plus the firearms collected from Fujian, Guangdong and Guizhou provinces, and went straight to the Yunnan army station.

Nie Feng, Fang Shiyu, Hong Xiguan and other ten generals, fought together, won consecutive battles, half a month later, five battles, sixteen small stations, eliminated 50,000 captured Qing troops, and the remaining 50,000 Qing troops either fled or retreated to Sichuan.

After entering Layue, Yunnan Province was completely occupied by Nie Feng.

Originally, Nie Feng wanted to take the opportunity to occupy Sichuan again, but unfortunately the Taiping army was also very tired, and fought for several months to continue to cultivate.

Nie Feng had to turn the attack on the whole of Sichuan into the occupation of Panzhihua.

Panzhihua iron ore was only discovered during the Republic of China, and now Panzhihua is only a small village on the border of Sichuan and Yunnan.

When Nie Feng sent troops to occupy Panzhihua, the Qing court army did not resist at all, and gave up half of the southern Sichuan region.

After occupying Panzhihua, Nie Feng sent 3,000 artisan households and 50,000 troops to guard it, and finally relocated 50,000 poor people.

The entire 100,000 people, and the 150,000 stone rice that the sailor brought back for the second time, were all used to support the immigrants.

After entering Layue, Nie Feng's original plan to attack Jiangxi and Hunan had to be put on hold because of an unprecedented snow disaster.

Due to the appearance of the snowstorm, Nie Feng seized the opportunity to engage in cash-for-work, conscripted into the army, and built 500 firearms production lines in Fuzhou, Guangzhou, and Panzhihua in one go.

It can make 5,000 flintlock pistols per day.

Winter turned to spring, Nie Feng officially changed his name in January of the 37th year of Qianlong, proclaimed himself the Ming King of the Taiping Army, and other generals, such as Fang Shiyu and Hong Xiguan, were all made generals, or marshals, etc.

In addition to changing his name, Nie Feng also held the first Taiping Army imperial examination in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Fujian provinces.

The imperial examination is divided into Wenju, Wuju, and Daoju.

Wenju and Wuju are both imitations of the Ming and Qing dynasties, but the eight-strand text is removed, and the main assessment is hard work.

The Taoist is not the election of the Taoist school, but the election of the Tao of Gewu, which mainly selects the craftsmen.

The imperial examination held by Nie Feng began after the Lantern Festival in January and ended at the end of March, and a total of 500 people were elected, who were assigned by Nie Feng to various places to serve as pro-people officials, or assigned to the Taiping Army recruit camp as recruit coaches.

At the same time, because the previous year, the Taiping army attacked Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian, and Yunnan successively, and many problems were exposed.

Nie Feng founded the First Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou, and from the top 50 people in this imperial examination, he took turns to teach at the military academy to teach the generals of the Taiping Army.

Since Nie Feng is the principal, all the people at the rank of captain have to come in to study.

It's just that the Whampoa Military Academy was just established, and it could only have 300 people per batch.

The first batch of students entered the school in early April and graduated in early June, which lasted two months, which is the shortest batch of students.

According to the learning situation, Nie Feng conducted an award ceremony for this group of students.

And since the New Year, from February, the Tartar Qing court has been sending troops south to assemble.

By April, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Hunan, Guizhou, and Sichuan provinces had gathered a total of 600,000 troops, known as the million-strong army, to pounce on the Taiping army.

Nie Feng had already made arrangements and planted tens of thousands of mines on the offensive route of the Tartars' braided army.

As a result, the pigtailed army did not break through the border line at all, lost more than 100,000 and had to retreat.

The stalemate continued into June.

The first batch of cadets of the Huangpu Military Academy graduated and were assigned to Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Yunnan by Nie Feng.

Among them, Nie Feng personally commanded the elite of the 30,000 Taiping Army, which went straight to Zhejiang and opened the way with firearms.

In half a month, the 100,000 Qing troops gathered in Zhejiang were defeated.

Fang Shiyu led 50,000 Taiping troops to Sichuan, and fought with firearms.

At the beginning of July, Nie Feng sent people to negotiate with Jinchuan, and in the middle of the year, he canonized Jinchuan and won the titles of King Ba and King of Shu.

The two sides merged and drove the Qing troops out of Sichuan, and Fang Shiyu declared that he had completely occupied Sichuan.

Hong Xiguan led 50,000 Gui troops and marched to Guizhou.

Hong Xiguan's wife, Yan Yongchun, once lived in the place where Sichuan and Guizhou were handed over, and her reputation was very loud, and it only took a month for the husband and wife to officially occupy Guizhou.

Nie Feng had four armies, and the other way was handed over to Sun Shiyi to lead and attack Jiangxi.

Sun Shiyi actually persuaded the Tartar generals in Jiangxi to surrender.

Later, Nie Feng sent Sun Shiyi to attack Hunan after reorganizing the generals.

Hunan was led by Qianlong's general A Gui, and Sun Shiyi and A Gui were at a stalemate.

At this moment, Nie Feng had just occupied Zhejiang, basically south of the Yangtze River, except for Hunan Province, half of the Tatar Qing court was defeated.

It's just that at this time, the five hundred people gathered in the imperial examination in the first half of the year have now been distributed, and Nie Feng couldn't find more talents to help him manage the newly laid territory, so he had to suspend Xige.

In order to paralyze the Qing court, Nie Feng sent someone to send a message to Qianlong, asking for a confrontation between the north and the south, and the river was divided.

Qianlong got this information, and he was originally nervous to dispatch troops, but he suddenly eased up.

From August last year to the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, the Taiping army occupied half of the southern part of the country, which has made the Tartar Qing court panic.

The officials of the imperial court, thinking of the Mengyuan Empire, were also attacked by the former Ming Dynasty from south to north, and they were already panicked, and many officials began to sort out their packages and prepare to resign and go home.

Even many officials sent people to Nie Feng's generals, wanting to surrender.

It's just that Nie Feng really doesn't have his subordinates to govern the new territory, and the time to enter the army must not be delayed again and again.

By the end of October, Nie Feng gathered 200,000 troops of 200,000 stone rice brought back from Siam, surrounded them on all sides, and drove Ah Gui, who was entrenched in Hunan, to Jiangbei.

At this point, the entire south of the Yangtze River was occupied by Nie Feng.

At the beginning of October, the Qing court sent people south to discuss with Nie Feng about dividing the river and ruling the country.

In October, the north was freezing cold, and the Taiping army under Nie Feng were all southerners, and they would not be able to go north for a while, so they simply entered the Qing court and talked nonsense.

In November, Nie Feng officially ascended the throne in Hangzhou, with the country name 'Zhonghua', and proclaimed himself the first emperor, and the era was 4465 years after the Yellow Emperor era.
