Emperor Xianfeng called Yang Qingxi into the palace: "Qingxi, you bring Chang Dachun's excerpt from last time, I want to see how many sailor ships there are in the Hubei Navy." ”

"Wow." After a while, Yang Qingxi presented the excerpt of Chang Dachun, the governor of Hubei, and Emperor Xianfeng opened it with great interest to see the contents, and immediately darkened his face, snorted coldly, and said to Xingzhen with a hesitant expression: "Lan'er, look at his excerpt, take it, I will allow you to see it!" Hey, although your method is excellent, it's a pity that those minions in Hubei won't take precautions, and the whole Huguang is such an idea, and this clever woman is difficult to cook without rice! ”

Xingzhen opened Chang Dachun's fold, looked at it, her face was still very calm, her heart had already erupted like a volcano, sparks splashed, my God, such as the Buddha Jade Emperor, a huge Hubei Province, Hubei Navy Division actually didn't have any decent big ships, only a few regular patrol boats, and those ships didn't even have half a cannon! Is this a sailor? It should be said that it is a fishing boat! Okay, it's a shame to be in front of the emperor like this, and it's a big shame for the middle of the girl!

What? What comes to mind? Female middle Zhuge ...... Xingzhen looked at Anqian on the ground and was boiling the jade girl Changchun soup in a small copper stove with mud gold, the smokeless red Luo charcoal was burning, and there were a few more layers of heat in the already warm pavilion, Xingzhen's face was flushed, her eyes were shining, her body was excited, and the spiritual light flashed in her mind, Xingzhen's long eyebrows jumped violently, and her eyes looked directly at Emperor Xianfeng: "Your Majesty, this is the negligence of the concubine, but the concubine still has a plan, maybe it can be remedied!" ”

"Lan'er, come quickly!"

Jiangnan Shuangfu first supervised the Qing army to build a large number of forts, fortifications, and barracks outside the city, preparing to resist stubbornly outside the city, and when the Taiping army arrived, he inspired all the fortifications, leaving more than 800 people to stay, and he entered Wuchang City and passed the order of the governor Chang Dachun: "If you can't do it, you can retreat by burning and destroying!" "More than 800 people were unable to resist the offensive of the Taiping army, and it was only half an hour before they burned the fortifications and forts, and then scattered as birds and beasts. Yang Xiuqing and the generals of the Taiping Army were full of pride, and they all said that the spirit of the Qing Dog Army was so low that Wuchang City was just around the corner.

The residents outside the city of Wuchang hung outside the city, lest they be captured by the Taiping army, they asked to enter the city, help the official army to defend the city, Chang Dachun and Shuangfu opened the city gate, and launched artillery attacks on the Taiping army who tried to plunder the people surrounding the city gate, and introduced the people into the city.

Xiang Rong led reinforcements of 10,000 troops to Wuchang outside the city to conquer the stronghold of the Taiping army in Hongshan, and his subordinate Zhang Guoliang also defeated the Taiping army several times. However, due to the fact that Shuangfu and Chang Dachun obeyed the emperor's orders to abandon the strongholds outside Hanyang, Hankou and Wuchang, the Taiping army had completely surrounded the isolated city of Wuchang, and the Taiping army blocked the river, built pontoon bridges, and reinforcements continued to come and go.

In the eyes of the Taiping army, Wuchang was already a dead city.

"Anqian, take the Romance of the Three Kingdoms on the shelf!"

"Yes, sissy."

Xingzhen took the fully embroidered copy of the Romance of the Three Kingdoms sent by Anqian, flipped through it a few times, found the one she was looking for, and handed it to Emperor Xianfeng.

Emperor Xianfeng suspiciously opened the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and looked back, and when he saw it, he still couldn't seem to find any clue at first, and then pondered a little, the north wind outside the window blew by, and with a bang, the lantern outside the palace door fell in response, and Emperor Xianfeng suddenly occupied it, and his eyes were shining!

The epilogue of that chapter reads:

"Seven Star Altar Zhuge sacrifice wind, Sanjiangkou Zhou Yu arson!"

On October 20 of the second year of Xianfeng, the governor of Hubei.

"It's the plan of fire attack!" Chang Dachun in the study and Hubei Governor Chang Lu, Hubei General Soldier Wang Jinxiu, Jiangnan Governor Shuangfu, and three Hanyang, Hankou, Wuchang prefect six people held a closed-door meeting, in order to prevent leakage, even the maids and servants were sent away, and a few people could only pour tea and drink by themselves regardless of decency. Chang Dachun whispered out the plan granted by Emperor Xianfeng.

Chang Lu, the governor of Hubei, was a black-faced man, with a hint of groan in his dark face, Chang Lu put down the bowl and asked: "The emperor's plan to attack the fire is naturally good, and the lower officials are just afraid that Hong Shun and Yang Shun, the pseudo-king of the East, will not obediently let the water army let us burn?" ”

Shuangfu nodded in agreement, Wang Jinxiu was a middle-aged man with a yellowish face and a fierce expression, he sat on the pear blossom wood Taishi chair, and the green tendons of his hands on the armrests were exposed, and he was silent.

"The emperor has issued a secret decree, and this secret decree is only known to the seven people here, and those who leak it will be beheaded!" Chang Dachun cut the railway, "Because I want to let the long-haired rebels fall into the scheme, so the walls are cleared, and the army of rebels is consumed under the city of Wuchang, and take the opportunity to attack and win!" I'll just take my orders! The two prefects, passing on my orders, completely emptied the two cities of Hankou and Hanyang, opened the treasury, distributed food and clothes to the people, drove the people into Wuhan, gave the young and strong workers, and ordered the city to assist the officers and soldiers to defend the city! Chang Admiral, Double Admiral, two elevated Wuchang City, rectified defense, drilled regimental exercises, and cleaned up internal affairs to ensure that the spies would not disturb the morale of the army in the city! Mr. Wang! Chang Dachun turned his head and looked at Wang Jinxiu with a solemn expression, "I order you to collect the ships of the Hubei Naval Division, bring 3,000 soldiers and horses, burn the dock, burn the unfinished ships, and transport away all the oil, explosives, rattan armor, saltpeter and so on stored in Hankou and Hanyang!" Immediately go to the upper reaches of the Han River to find a secluded place to settle the sailor, and after the rebel army builds a pontoon bridge and besieges Wuchang, you act cheaply, and when the time comes, go down the river in one fell swoop, and burn the pseudo-thief sailor, without worrying about our defense! Chang Admiral, the double admiral is on fire on the river watching in the city, and when the rebel is in chaos, he will go out of the city to attack! The emperor has promised that the three towns of Wuhan only need to defend Wuchang City without losing, the army and the people will not be coerced, and kill more enemies, and this battle will be a great victory! From Youxugong! ”

"Wow!"

Chuxiu Palace, it was night, the north wind was howling, and the lantern that fell on the ground outside was ignited by the candle flame, and the wind borrowed the fire, the lantern burned faster, and a little eunuch came over lightly.

"The three towns of Wuhan face each other across the water, now the military heart is decadent, it is difficult to echo each other, can not be fully defended, for today's plan, can only abandon the two cities and protect a city, in the view of the concubines, when the most people, the most abundant grain and grass, the tallest city wall of Huguang first Xiongcheng Wuchang City, since you want to protect Wuchang City, simply empty the two cities of Hankou and Hanyang, lest the thieves coerce the local people, and get money and food to strengthen the momentum! In addition, in order to facilitate the capture of Wuchang City and obtain supplies, the army of sailors replenished from Yuezhou must have gathered on the Sanzhen River. Xingzhen pointed to the upper reaches of the Han River on the map, and said solemnly: "Choose a brave will hide in the upper reaches of the Han River, and wait until the rebel thief has been in Wuchang for a long time, and when he is impetuous, he will shoot the boat and kill it downstream, if the thief's ship is not connected, it will be just that, they can only disperse their naval army, if they are greedy for trouble, the ship's iron chains are linked, we don't have to learn from Zhuge Liang to borrow the east wind, directly follow the north wind, and then let the fire burn through both sides of the Yangtze River!" ”
