Chapter 22 Jiang Zhongyuan's tender bamboo grows roots
Li Xingyuan sat in Wuxuan, physically and mentally exhausted, and gradually unable to support. Neglect: thieves cannot be peaceful, unfaithful; Raising can't end, not filial piety. After the death, he was used to serve as a regular servant, and he was to blame the ministers. He also held Zhou Tianjue and Xiang Rong's hand, and said: "But the grievances and grievances, and the thieves are rejected together." ”
The next day, Xingyuan looked east and died.
Emperor Xianfeng was left behind, sad and weeping, and gave mercy according to the governor's regulations. He also ordered Zhou Tianjue to temporarily serve as the minister of the Qin Mission with the title of governor, and Sai Shanga came to the front to take charge of everything.
At the end of April, Ulantai, the deputy capital of Guangdong, arrived with 500 green battalion soldiers.
Xiang Rong is angry and wants to attack.
Zhou Tianjue said: "The soldiers and horses of the Wubu are running from afar, only five hundred, and they can't make waves, I have made up my mind, and I will sit and kill the enemy." ”
Xiang Rong said: "I am watching from the wall, sitting on the well and watching the sky, with this method of war, I don't know when to perform." ”
Zhou Tianjue said: "The thief is very cunning, and he is not a rogue, he is good at seizing fighters; If we are defeated again, we will be defeated! ”
During the controversy between Zhou and Xiang, the Taiping army had broken through to the north. Zhou Tianjue did not dare to slack off, waved his army to follow, and surrounded the Taiping army in Xiangzhou.
Ulantai pleaded for punishment. Emperor Xianfeng, with his first arrival, pardoned; Secret Ulan Taishi Chen Guiqing should not be hidden.
Ulantai carefully inspected the half moon, and went up to the sparse: Zhou Tianjue played Xiang Rongqu to favor his son, causing the loss of public hearts, not for no reason. In the battle of Wuxuan Dongxiang, Qin Dingsan, Zhou Fengqi, and Zhang Jingxiu defended the company camp, and its blockade was unfavorable, and the pursuit of thieves was delayed, so they should be the same party. Tianjue impeached Dingsan, Fengqi was not as good as Jingxiu, and the people were not convinced. Xiang Rong's generals and Chun lost, Tianjue blamed the three not to work together, and the later visit was not a retreat, and Xiang Rong shirked his words. Because of this, there are gaps in Tianjue, Xiang Rong, and Dingsan. Tianjue is old, straight, strong, and soft-eared, and his son Guangyue intervenes, causing people to lose people's hearts. Xiang Rongchu has won many victories, and he is inevitably a light thief. However, there will be no one who will be honored in the military town. It is easier to be a soldier, but it can still make meritorious contributions.
Emperor Xianfeng ordered Sai Shang'a to play the nucleus. Saishan's nuclear was completed, and he asked for no blame for the past, and ordered Ulantai and Xiang Rong to control the generals, and Ulantai led Qin Dingsan, Li Rui, Chonglun and other three towns to have 5,000 soldiers, and Xiang Rong led the Chu army of 5,000.
At this time, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing are not on good terms. After being trapped for two months, Yang Xiuqing insisted on returning to Jintian again, and with a shot back to the horse, he might be able to turn around. Hong Xiuquan refused to allow it, and refused to "Bauhinia Mountain is barren, go north to Guilin, and have everything".
In the middle of the Ping Wei month, Zhou Tianjue, Xiang Rong, Ulantai, Liu Jizu blocked on all sides, Ba Qingde, Dahong'a, Changrui and others were approaching, and the situation of the Taiping army was becoming increasingly embarrassing.
Yang Xiuqing insisted on his own opinion again, and said: "The method of sitting in trap is to exhaust our food and resources, and then attack and kill; If this continues, we will perish. Piglets, Hammerhead Mountain, Fengmen Pass are all moat passes, few soldiers can defend, most of my pass through the pass, repair time in Jintian, and then determine the whereabouts. ”
Hong Xiuquan said: "The enemy who surrounds me does not dare to act rashly, only the black demon Lantai, who is new and vigorous, marches rapidly, and fights the firearms battalion, harming more than 100 of my brothers." Now it is located in the Dugui Ridge in the northwest of Zhongpingwei, in a vain attempt to encircle it on all sides, bloom in the center, and destroy me here! Dugui Ridge, the fate of our army. Shi Dakai listened to the order, quickly led the people of the headquarters, carried more artillery shells, and was sure to take down the black demon. The rest of the armies were temporarily on the defensive. Wait for the black demon to be extinguished, and then attack. In the battle of Dongxiang, the second army commander on the left, Luo Xuan, resisted Qin Dingsan, meritorious service, reward! His wife was sick and had to be taken care of. ”
Shi Dakai looked at the lone turtle ridge from afar, worried.
Shi Xiangzhen said: "I live in the east of the Luoxiu River, the river is locked, and I was hit halfway through. On the other side, the Guizhou army Tong Panmei occupied the Dujiao Ridge, condescendingly, and my actions were unobstructed. Li Ruigu's state camp and Ulantai's central military camp are located in the west, and they are tightly arranged, and they are horns of each other, and this battle is difficult to win. ”
Shi Dakai said: "Ulantai has five hundred firearms soldiers, and three or two thousand soldiers from Qin Ding, plus 1,000 people from Li Rui's department, and 1,000 from Weining's battalion. There are also Yongfu soldiers, more than 5,000. This lone turtle ridge, facing the river cliff, is difficult to break. Only at the south hill at the junction of the three battalions, there are no traces of soldiers for the time being, and it seems to be flawed. ”
Shi Xiangzhen said: "If you don't return to the Heavenly King, ask for reinforcements." ”
Shi Dakai said: "I also attacked half-crossing, the former Guan Yu flooded the Seventh Army, I also borrowed, and quickly sent people up the river to search for the ferry and the gate." ”
At two o'clock in the morning of June 9, the water level of the Luoxiu River plummeted, the flow slowed down, Shi Da set up an ambush, led thousands of troops to smuggle in, seized the top of the South Mountain, and set up artillery bombardment.
Ulantai said: "Night crossing sneak attack, stone thieves are cunning; I ordered, Tong Panmei, the deputy general of Weining Town, desperately guarded the Dugui Ridge; The rest of the armies returned fire with artillery until dawn, and then encircled and annihilated. ”
Suddenly, there was a lot of noise on the Dugui Ridge, and more than a thousand Guizhou troops howled and rushed down the mountain beam, and the rout was so strong that Ulantai and Li Rui couldn't stop it. At dawn, it was ascertained that the seven Taiping defeated soldiers, panicked, climbed from the southern cliff to the Dujiao Ridge, and mistakenly broke into the Weining camp.
Ulantai was furious, and the knife holder was on the neck of Panmei, and he ordered to attack. Tong Panmei cried and died. The battalion was headed by Fuzhu Longa and led his troops to recapture the Weining battalion. The Taiping army was defeated and retreated, Ma Shanbao, the general of the Chinese army in Fubiao, Guizhou, was reluctant to give up, waved the army to pursue, and the forward just crossed the Luoxiu River, and the river rose in vain, drowning countless Qing troops. Shi Dakai recovered, and together with the ambush soldiers in front, he killed the Qing troops who came ashore one by one.
Xiang Rong hurriedly sent troops to rescue, and Nai Yuan water did not quench his thirst.
In this battle, Ulantai was defeated, and the general Ma Shanbao, the guerrilla Liu Dingtai, Bole Guobu and other fifteen officials were killed, and the soldiers suffered countless casualties.
Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed, and then gave Shi Da troops and horses, so that he could completely annihilate the first army of Ulantai.
Ulantai was anxious, and it happened that Jiang Zhongyuan, the county magistrate, arrived with five hundred Chu Yong, and Zhongyuan Mao recommended himself and approached Shi Dakai's military camp to set up a fortress.
Ulantai, Xiang Rong and others all thought that Jiang Zhongyuan was frivolous and frivolous and would be killed.
Shi Dakai also arrived with Chu Yong, his foothold was unstable, and he was in a hurry.
Jiang Zhongyuan couldn't hold out, and ordered Chu Yong to return fire with a gun and a shotgun, and when Shi Da broke through to the camp gate, Jiang Zhongyuan jumped on his horse with a horizontal sword, and with five hundred Chu Yong, he came out and fought hand-to-hand with Shi Jun. Chu Yong was all strong, the Shi army had never met with such a battle, and retreated in panic, Jiang Zhongyuan chased after him, and won hundreds of heads in a battle.
Yao Ying saw it really, and wrote a book to Dahong Adao: Jiang Zhongyuan, Zhixian County, Xiushui, Zhejiang, is brave and abnormal, and he is very knowledgeable in leading the army. If the second brother sees it, he may wish to consult and adopt it, it will be beneficial.
Shi Dakai was defeated, Hong Xiuquan no longer insisted, and with a wave of the flag, the Taiping army quietly withdrew from Zhongpingwei and retreated south to Dongxiang; Along the road, climb the piglets, wear the hammerhead mountain, cross the wind gate, and then arrive at the Bauhinia Mountain.
One day, Hong Xiuquan was sipping tea in Chadi Village, investigating Xiao Desheng and his wife's secrets, Xiuquan showed his face, and said that small things such as Xiu Qing could be decided. Xiao Desheng is Xiao Chaogui's father-in-law. Yang Xiuqing ordered Xiao Chaogui to take care of himself. Xiao Chaogui is the military discipline, and the head of Xiao Xiao's victorious couple is displayed to the public.
Hong Xiuquan said: "In the past, Wu Qi killed his wife and begged for a general, and now the right Bizheng army division will destroy his relatives in righteousness, and the great cause of my heavenly kingdom will be accomplished; It's a pity that this nurturing grace is a pity. ”
