Hong Xiuquan won a big victory and was arrogant.

The guards of the royal forest bowed when they were blessed with the flood and shouted: "The king of Hong is mighty. ”

Feng Yunshan listened to the heart, so he ordered Zeng Shuiyuan to organize the enthronement ceremony of the king of heaven, and declared Hong Xiuquan as the "king of heaven" and Hong Tianguifu as the young master.

After the enthronement ceremony, Hong Xiuquan announced to the world in the name of the king of heaven and named the country the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; The army is called the Taiping Army; Feng Yang Xiuqing was appointed as the left auxiliary army division, leading the main general of the Chinese army; Xiao Chaogui is the right Bi Zheng Army Division, leading the former army commander; Feng Yunshan is the leading deputy military division and the chief general of the rear army; Wei Changhui is the deputy military division of the rear guard, leading the main general of the right army; Shi Dakai led the chief general of the left army.

Hong Xiuquan Dongxiang was founded, and Zhou Tianjue, Xiang Rong and others were indignant and determined to fight to the death.

Tianjue said: "The flood thief claims to be the king in vain and swears to destroy it." From Sanliwei to Dongxiang, the rebels camped for fifteen miles, and I couldn't eat a bite; You can concentrate your forces and attack the Wei Changhui bandits in Sanliwei first. I intend that the soldiers will be divided into four ways and attack together. the main attack on the front of the military gate; Liu Jizu and Zhang Zhao attacked Dongling Village in the southwest of Sanliwei; Zhang Jingxiu attacked Taicun in the northwest of Sanliwei, and after succeeding, he went south to Dongling, joined Liu Zhang, and attacked Sanliwei from the south; Qin Dingsan led his army to attack Sanliwei from the north. Zhou Fengqi and Li Nengchen guarded Wu Xuan and acted as a response. ”

Xiang Rong said: "There is no room for loss in this battle, each army has set up a supervising team, and those who retreat from the battle will be killed!" ”

The soldiers pressed the border, and Wei Changhui urgently asked Dongxiang for help.

Hong Xiuquan said: "The water comes to cover the soldiers and will block, and I will also divide the soldiers into four ways and fight back." ”

Yang Xiuqing said: "Qiyu Heavenly King, the Qing Demon will fight hard, not to be underestimated, and not to fight hard." The area of Dongling, with dense hills and ravines, is well ambushed, which can be the main battlefield. I concentrated the main force, attacked Liu Jizu and Zhang Zhao first, and surrounded but not annihilated. Zhou Tianjue and Xiang Rong will be saved. I can take advantage of the situation to wrap Zhou and Xiang into the circle and annihilate them together. North Road Qinding Department 3, Luo outline blocks. After speaking, I called Xiao Chaogui, Luo Outline, Zeng Tianyang, Shi Dakai, etc., and asked them one by one. ”

Liu Jizu attacked Dongling, Qishun was incomparable, and he felt that it was inappropriate, and Xiao Chaogui's army came out and besieged Liu. Zhang Jingxiu came to help, but was outflanked by Zeng Tianyang. Xiang Rong learned that Liu Zhang was in a tight situation, so he came to rescue him quickly, and was caught in the circle by Shi Dakai's 4,000 army.

Xiang Rong sighed: "Fall into the trap of thieves again!" He Chun and Zhang Guoliang listened to the order, did not entangle, found Zhang Liu, joined forces in one place, and fought their way out of the encirclement. ”

In the first battle of Dongling, the Qing army suffered more than 1,000 losses. Xiang Rong shouted that the army's salary would not continue, the soldiers were in an uproar, and the combat strength plummeted.

Zhou Tianjue said: "Er Bing will get one or two silver for every victory, and three will be hesitant!" What is the penalty for defeat? What is the position of his soldiers? Why didn't you attack and defend according to the original plan, but were led by the nose, resulting in this defeat and a vain battle. ”

Xiang Rong said: "War is war, why is it in vain?" My soldiers are flying with flesh and blood, and I am also wounded in two places, why is it in vain? Adults are old and old, talking about soldiers, humiliating our generation! ”

Zhou Tianjue was angry: "Xiang Rong, in the thirteenth year of Daoguang, I have returned to Banquan to be selected, and Erfang is a baby." Now in my old age, why is he rash and tongue-in-cheek! ”

Li Xingyuan heard that the battle was defeated again, Zhou Tianjue and Xiang Rong attacked each other, so they had to go to the sick and compromise and reconcile.

Li Xingyuan said: "Just one thing, if the thief occupies Guilin, everyone's head will not be guaranteed." To the Admiral, is there still a strategy to defend against the enemy? ”

Xiang Rong snorted.

Zhou Tianjue said: "Repeatedly attacked, the advance and retreat are lost, and it is difficult to find a perfect strategy." I can dig deep ditches around the thief, build more fortifications, set up more artillery positions, and stock more explosives, and when the thief arrives, he will open fire, and when the thief retreats, he will rest for a while. This is a trap, our soldiers are confined to the barracks, they are alive, and if they are broken, they are all dead. Life is held in his hands, and it can still be concentric. ”

Li Xingyuan said: "This party is available. I will play my emperor, quickly send important ministers and elite soldiers, and wait for the thief to run out of food, and annihilate in one fell swoop. ”

Emperor Xianfeng heard that Zhou and Xiang were not in harmony, and the thief was already sitting big, and he was heartbroken. He then ordered the scholar of the Mandarin Palace and the chief military minister, Saishan'a, to be the minister of the Qin Mission, and specially gave him a sword to curb Bilong, cut it first and then play, and cut it off in case of trouble; and allocate another two million taels of treasury money for immediate use; Deputy Commanders Ba Qingde and Da Honga led the Beijing army to accompany them, and Yao Ying and Yan Zhengji participated in the military and food and salary; He also transferred Jiang Zhongyuan, the county governor of Hunan, and Wulantai, the deputy capital of Guangdong, to Guizhou as soon as possible.

Saizan Ah knows that the Cantonese bandits are fierce, the future is unpredictable, and he is afraid that he will never return, and tears ripple on the banquet.

Zhuo Bingtian, the sixth son of the emperor Yixin and a university scholar, wept and said: "Saizhongtang is about to stay away from Beijing, and I will work hard. ”

Zeng Guofan was disdainful and sighed: "Ba Qingde and Dahong A-Neng are good at fighting, Yao Ying and Yan Zhengji are old-handed, Jiang Zhongyuan has young bamboo roots, and the long-term battle to the commander has become a stalemate. The crossbow of a thousand golds, lighter than a shot? ”

Su Shun said: "Disheng is very interested. ”

Zeng Guofan said: "I'm scared to death, it's Yuting, my words, brother, listen?" ”

Su Shun said: "It can be described as righteousness! My emperor sent an edict, among all the people, Yao Ying and Da Hong Awai, I thought that Jiang Zhongyuan, who was recommended by Wei Disheng, could be of great use. We are many bastards, Saizan Ajia, the holy decree has been issued for twenty days, and the fuck will not leave, regardless of the life and death of the country. When I thought about Emperor Taizong, our banner people immediately shot arrows and hit every shot; Into the forest to drive away the beast, the tiger sees the chestnut. Nowadays, the training of soldiers in the teaching field, the iron rod and the eagle, and the frolic like a child, have become normal. As everyone knows, if the country dies, the whole clan will be destroyed. ”

Zeng Guofan said: "Jiang Zhongyuan can be of great use? ”

Su Shun said: "Di Sheng once said that he has never seen such a talent in his life, I think that Brother Di will not look away." ”

Zeng Guofan looked at this person who had "relied on death and relied on death", and he actually liked it a little.

On that day, Zeng Guofan said: Every time the minister is in the sacrificial ceremony, he looks up to the emperor to Yue Suyong, and he must be cautious in his steps, and ordinary things are also pushed to be refined, and the virtue of respect and prudence is also. And if it is not identified early, its disadvantages are trivial, and it cannot be prevented.

People and ministers are kings, and the etiquette is solid and thoughtful, but it is not a court sacrifice ceremony, and it is difficult to ensure that there is no negligence. That is, in the case of Guangxi, the most important thing is the position of talent, the second is in the examination of geographical advantages, and the second is in the prudent military needs. Now there are not many people sent to Guangxi, and the location is not perfect. Yao Ying was nearly seventy years old, and he had made a name for himself, so it was advisable to give him a little prestige, so that he could not be appointed as a counselor of the shogunate. Strictly and Zhengji handles the grain platform, and the humble position is difficult to suppress, and the division of power is easy to be involved.

The husband knows it but does not use it, and does not know it; It is inexhaustible, and it is not the same. There are many generals, and it is appropriate to divide them into three paths, each with its own special responsibilities; The middle road is dedicated to Wuchang large shares, the west road is divided into Sizhen Nantai, and the east road is divided into seven prefectures and one state. As for the geographical advantage, it is advisable for the minister to be stationed in Hengzhou, but it can be planned for three routes. The grain station should be specially set up in Wuzhou, and the silver rice will be sent from Hunan, temporarily in Guilin, and then lost in Wuzhou; Those who went from Guangdong to Zhaoqing for the time being, and lost to Wu in the second place. Then the four are convenient for support, and the robbers cannot plunder.

Today, the army has been prosperous for a year, and the outside has not submitted a map to plan the whole situation, and the inner government has a Kangxi map and a Qianlong map, and has not heard that the cardinal invited the emperor to be familiar with the audit. As for the theory of military quarters, the game of donation and loss must not be opened in the two Guangdongs. Those who donate their lives are all in the army, and the donations are all borrowed and moved, and they are still taken from the grain station. All three of these are as far as Guangxi is concerned, and today's plans are also. Even if there is nothing to do in Guangxi, and all those who are courtiers should pay attention to talents, pay attention to geographical advantages, and plan the national plan, so as to be ambitious, that is, they may as well be subtle.

Since ancient times, he has been a direct minister, not a special envoy who became famous. Gai will borrow its medicine stone to break the pride of the lord, cultivate its bones, and raise its prestige, so as to prepare for the use of something to fold, the so-called wind knows the strength of the grass. If you don't take this, you will take a kind of harmonious and soft person, who will not dare to say a word against the ear and the heart, and the one who has a slight edge will do his best to defeat his strength and destroy his strength. Once there is something, the court is full of exhaustion, and there is nothing to be done.

The reason why the emperor today made Sai Shang look at the master was that he didn't know that the crossbow of a thousand gold was lighter than a shot, and Gai also saw that he was a person who had nothing to fear in the court. The husband does not store upright people on weekdays, but cultivates his character and bones and raises his prestige, and uses the talents obtained in peace! At present, the military affairs alarm, planning in one person, depends on Russia, the emperor is alone, and the ministers do not share their worries, so that Guangxi will not be peaceful, and China and foreign countries are also worried. However, Guangxi is peaceful, and the emperor is in his mind or said that there is nothing difficult to do in the world, and there is no one who can help me in front of him.

The distinction between the two is early, only a few micrometers. If the disadvantages are achieved and then reversed, it will be difficult to do anything. The minister is accompanied by the emperor, fortunately when the saint is on top, why not endure the foolish pillow, in order to rely on the accident. Although the words are inappropriate, they dare not be eager to speak up, nor do they dare to please only Ah. Fu Wei Holy Mercy Enlightenment. Sincerely.

Emperor Xianfeng's criticism: Zeng Guo's feudal article Chen Yifolded, and I added a detailed review, which was intended to be good at Chen Shan's criticism and prevent malpractice, although it was pedantic and unreasonable, it was still desirable. Yi So, except for the Guangxi geographical advantage military aircraft has been investigated, Yu or the language is too radical and cannot be leveled; Or only see the deviation, too stubborn. Reading its intention is to advance, and I will not rebuke it. As for the people who are discussed, they will be self-conscious, and they will like to be disgusted and straightforward, which is quite important. Self-esteem bows to the thin morality, sleeps all night, and sometimes has the idea of not being able to check the body, if it is not taken sparingly because of one or two excessive words, and the adoption is not widespread, it is the germination of arrogance. I think about the difficulty of being a king, and the ministers should also think about the difficulty of being a minister, consult each other, sit on words and deeds, and the country can achieve practical results.
