"My lord is really smart, this Hong Tingnan is really in the same group as the thief!"

A round-faced official smiled and said hello to the majestic Sun Shiyi.

"Hong Tingnan is a brave man, there are many generals under him, the last time he exterminated the Heaven and Earth Society, the military exploits reported by other generals were at least hundreds of levels, and he only had more than 30 subordinates, I suspected it at that time, this time the imperial court let the Taiping Sect be exterminated, it can be said that Hong Tingnan is just a handful!"

Sun Shiyi is still very satisfied with his strategy.

"Lord Gao, this time to exterminate the Taiping Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society in one breath, the headquarters will definitely ask the emperor to ask for credit for you!"

Sun Shiyi sat on the top of the bell tower, took out a telescope, and looked into the distance.

More than eighty percent of the people in Guangzhou Mansion do not know that there will be turmoil tonight.

Everyone was getting ready to pack up the vendors and go home to rest.

The sun is slowly setting.

It's five o'clock in the evening, and it's about six o'clock in the evening.

On an August day, at six o'clock, the dusk drum was beating, and there were not many people on the street.

Suddenly, the officers and men of the brigade came out from all directions, armed with steel knives, and gathered in the direction of the bell tower.

Sun Shiyi's eyes were not good, he turned his head, looked at a few subordinates behind him, and said angrily: "Whose soldier is this?" Why did you go out in advance? ”

"This, the lower officials don't know!"

"The last general has not yet been appointed!"

"Back to the Governor, the Eight Banners are already in place......

……

Sun Shiyi heard the report of his subordinates, his heart suddenly burst, and he hurriedly raised the telescope and looked down again.

The nearest team of 100 was already approaching the bell tower, but about two hundred paces away from the bell tower, it stopped far away, and then the head of the gun was pointed at the bell tower.

"It's a thief!"

Sun Shiyi's heart was shocked, and he guessed the identity of these officers and soldiers, and was shocked. Hurriedly use the skills of the battlefield soldiers, at a glance.

At least dozens of torrents have gathered and surrounded the bell tower.

"Anti-thief?"

The other military attachés did not have binoculars, and looked into the distance, feeling no different from normal officers and soldiers, which was completely inconsistent with the information they received.

The spies of the imperial court in the Heaven and Earth Society claimed that this time the Taiping Sect and the Heaven and Earth Society rebelled with red clothes and shirtlessness, but the tens of thousands of people in front of them were all dressed as officers and soldiers.

Not only is the costume wrong, but even the timing is wrong.

It's only five minutes now, and it's more than an hour away.

It is believed that the barracks at this time are eating, and once they are attacked, they will be hungry......

Among the officials present, there was no shortage of people of insight, and when they thought of this, their faces turned pale in an instant.

It's been calculated!

The intelligence does not match at all.

Everyone instantly glared at a round-faced official.

The round-faced official, the beads of sweat on his forehead fell down.

"This must be a mistake, my lord, the dog must have been deceived!"

"Arrest Master Gao!"

Sun Shiyi has a total of six generals, namely Hong, Chen, Li, Zhang, Huang, and He.

Among them, the general surnamed Hong is Hong Tingnan, and now his identity has been confirmed, he is the master of the Red Dragon Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he is a chaotic minister and thief.

In addition, Chen, Li, Zhang, Huang, and He's five generals held on to the four city gates and the governor's palace in the southeast, northwest, and northwest, preparing to wait for work and eliminate the traitors.

Sun Shiyi is only 2,000 people in the bell tower at the moment, and in the face of nearly 10,000 sieges, there is no dangerous terrain to hold.

Basically, it can be expected that all the ministers present will be loyal to the country.

Sun Shiyi asked people to arrest the tall man first, and the other officials were basically civilians, or adjutant generals, and they couldn't think of a plan to retreat at all, panicked, noisy, and the officers and soldiers outside suddenly ripped off their clothes, revealing the red robes inside.

"What are you arguing about," Sun Shiyi was the governor of Guangdong for two years, and his majesty was extremely heavy, and his roar stopped everyone.

"These anti-thieves, gathering but not attacking, should want to wait for a good opportunity. The way of soldiers, pay attention to the speed of soldiers, they wait for a moment and a half, and our reinforcements will come......"

Due to intelligence errors, Sun Shiyi had to be patient at the moment to appease the army.

In fact, the best way is to cut off the tall man's head directly.

It's just that Sun Shiyi is not a murderer, and this tall man left a dog's life.

Sun Shiyi was nervous about when the reinforcements would arrive, when he suddenly heard a noise in the backyard of the bell tower.

"Report!"

A herald, sweating profusely, rushed up to the bell tower.

"What's going on next?"

Sun Shiyi looked at the herald sweating profusely, and suddenly felt bad.

"Lord Hui, just now there was a pair of thieves who pretended to be officers and soldiers and hijacked the relatives of your lords......"

"Huh?"

"My lord, hurry up and send troops to save people!"

"Where are the soldiers now......

Sun Shiyi received a report two days ago that there were rebellious ministers and thieves rebelling today, and he formulated a detailed plan to bring together the relatives and families of these officials in order to reassure all officials and to let all officials not 'make mistakes for life'.

At this moment, when everyone heard that the family members had been abducted, everyone was in the dark, crying and shouting, asking Sun Shiyi to help recapture the family.

"My lord, Mrs. and Miss were also taken away!"

In Sun Shiyi's expectant eyes, the herald told the last information, and waited for the governor of Guangdong in front of him to give an order.

Whether it is war or peace, it is the words of the governor of Guangdong in front of him.

If Sun Shiyi wants to fight, I am afraid that not only the families of the officials who were robbed will not be able to save their lives, but even his only daughter will encounter accidents.

"Alas, it's really a bad move!"

Sun Shiyi glanced at the dejected official, sighed, waved his hand, and took the lead downstairs.

When Sun Shiyi came downstairs, the 10,000 Taiping troops led by Nie Feng had already surrounded the bell tower, and the 3,000 musketeers only fired 500 rounds, instantly defeating the officers and soldiers protecting the bell tower.

"Master Sun, long time no see," Nie Feng and Sun Shiyi are not meeting for the first time, during the Chinese New Year last year, he was a wealthy businessman in Guangzhou and donated money to build a school.

Sun Shiyi smiled coldly: "I regret that I didn't recognize your identity at the beginning!" ”

"Master Sun, don't be angry," Nie Feng laughed, becoming a king or defeating a king, he is qualified to put on a stand in front of Sun Shiyi.

Seeing Nie Feng wave his hand, the three thousand soldiers quickly tied up the officers and soldiers in the bell tower, and did not pull any of the officials inside.

"Lord Sun, I don't want to persuade you to surrender, now that the general situation has been decided, please also ask Lord Sun to give an order to let the other armies give up resistance, so that the people of Guangzhou Mansion can also be at peace!"

Nie Feng said, and with a wave of his hand, the follower Sanjie monk held a desk and sent it over, with all the treasures in the study room on it.

"Please give an order, otherwise the lives of Guangzhou Mansion will be ruined, and Lord Sun's sin is not small!"

The eyes of the monk of Sanjie are cold, when he was young, his parents were oppressed to death by the government, and later the monk of Sanjie wandered on the streets, was taken in by the best Zen master, and Nie Feng is also an old acquaintance.

When Nie Feng wanted to oppose the imperial court, this Sanjie monk was the first to sign up, and now he follows Nie Feng's side, which is considered a hardcore cronie.

"My lord, please order," the Sanjie monk put the desk in front of Sun Shiyi, who had a straight waist, and turned his palm over, revealing a hosta.

Sun Shiyi's eyes contracted, he recognized this hosta, it was his daughter's headdress, and he originally planned to maintain the demeanor of the governor of the imperial court, but in an instant, he felt that all the strength was taken out of his back.

Everyone present breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Sun Shiyi bending over and obediently filling in the Yu order.

At this time, the general trend of Guangzhou Mansion has been decided.

With Sun Shiyi's order, Nie Feng ordered Fang Shiyu and the others to rush to the four city gates, as well as the governor's mansion, to take all the Qing soldiers into custody.

And the five generals Chen, Li, Zhang, Huang, and He, faced Sun Shiyi's request to surrender, and they really did not resist.

After an hour, the entire Guangzhou Mansion had fallen into a state of tranquility, with 10,000 Taiping Army, 10,000 Heaven and Earth Society's Iron Blood Hall, and Red Dragon Hall's subordinates, 20,000 people not only having to take care of nearly 30,000 prisoners, but also maintaining order in Guangzhou Mansion, which can be said to be very troublesome.

The important thing is that Nie Feng's subordinates don't have any capable skills that can be used.

The only thing Nie Feng could do was to order martial law, all the rebels were not allowed to harass the people, and at the same time, the ruffians and hooligans in the city would be killed directly if they took advantage of the chaos to make trouble.

In Guangdong Province, in addition to the 30,000 green battalions directly under Sun Shiyi's control, there are also 20,000 Eight Banner Army, a total of 50,000 people.

In addition to this, there is also the Admiral of the Navy, who has a fleet of 15,000 sailors.

These naval divisions were stationed in Guangzhou Bay, and the Guangzhou government transported a batch of military rations on the third day.

The second day of Nie Feng's incident was the day of transporting military rations.

With Sun Shiyi's Yu Order, and the cooperation of other officials, Nie Feng took down the Guangdong Navy Division at no cost, only a few small rebellions of Manchurian Banner people, after more than a dozen heads were cut off.

At dawn the next day, the entire Guangzhou Mansion, the people of Guangzhou Mansion, trembled all night, and then found that the sky had changed.

First of all, Nie Feng and Sun Shiyi jointly signed and stamped the edict of An Min.

This was followed by a joint order issued by Nie Feng and Sun Shiyi to other provincial capitals in Guangdong, calling on the local government to surrender to the newly established Taiping Army in Guangzhou.

Due to the military strength of the whole of Guangdong Province, the vast majority is in Guangzhou Prefecture, and there are only a small number of local troops in other places.

In the face of the heralds sent by Nie Feng, these state capitals either fled in fear of the wind, or did not dare to resist and surrendered on the spot.

It can be said that in less than three days, Nie Feng's 50,000 Taiping troops placed in various state capitals in Guangdong Province have successfully taken over the defense of the entire Guangdong Province.

Ten days later, the Tatar Qing court received an urgent report of the fall of Guangzhou.

By the time the news of the fall of Guangdong Province reached the capital, it was already half a month after the official uprising of the Taiping Army.

And after Nie Feng occupied the entire Guangzhou Prefecture, on the one hand, he asked the Taiping Army, which had long been arranged in the county capitals of Guangzhou, to attack the state capital.

The results were exceptionally good, and in less than three days, the state capitals were captured.

Subsequently, in order to maintain good military discipline, Nie Feng conducted a three-day special military training, and then ordered the expansion of the army.

At the end of August, the warehouses of the state capitals in Guangdong Province were almost full, and Nie Feng took out part of it to appease the people and part of it to call up soldiers.

According to Nie Feng's requirements, all these soldiers were recruited from the countryside, and there was no need for any ruffians and hooligans from the cities.

Keeping the army clean, this is Nie Feng's request to the Taiping Army.
