Chapter 69: The Disputes of the Kings of Tianjing City

The two camps in Jiangnan and Jiangbei were broken, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, couldn't help but be overjoyed, and the gongs and drums opened the way, and he patrolled the city defense. Liu Yang, the official of the Yellow Gate of the Heavenly King's Mansion, blocked the car and said: "The noise is noisy, disturbing the Heavenly King; Please silence the drum and pass quietly. ”

Xiuqing was angry and wanted to kill Liu Yang. Xiuquan is not allowed. Xiuqing's whole body shook suddenly, and his heavenly father possessed him, and shouted: "Xiuquan boy, you live in the deep palace, indulge in pleasure, ignore state affairs for three years, and have forty scepters to blame, and pass with Mier; From now on, my brother will consult with his compatriots in everything before acting. The official of the Yellow Gate, without the king of the east, will be cut down immediately! ”

Hundreds of civil and military officials knelt together, all of them pleaded for Xiuquan, but the king of the east did not allow it.

Hong Xiuquan ate forty rods, dragged his body painfully, and secretly summoned Lai Hanying and Meng Deen to discuss the matter.

Lai and Meng both advised: "The matter has come to this point, we must preemptively strike." ”

Xiuquan said: "Dongshan's government has been in power for a long time, and the city is full of his henchmen, and we are alone, I am afraid it will be difficult to succeed." ”

Meng Deen said: "Secretly summon the King of the North and the King of the Wings, and give orders on the spot." ”

Xiuquan said: "Dakai to Hubei, Changhui to Jiangxi, all the east assigned, rash return, the east will be suspicious." ”

Lai Hanying said: "You can issue a clear edict, saying that the heavenly father trusts the dream, and wants to travel to Suzhou and Hangzhou, what does this dream mean, call the kings to solve it." ”

The king of the north and the king of the wings returned after the edict, Xiuquan was secretly summoned, and cried: "I went back to Guangdong to farm and study, and I said goodbye to the two brothers." ”

Wei Changhui, the king of the north, gritted his teeth and said: "Yang is rebellious, we already know." There are all Yang rebels in the four seas, and there are no things such as the king and me! This guy, what mansion Nine Heavens, Wan Guo Army; Clearly a sinister and cunning man. Please issue an edict from the King of Heaven, and I will kill this rebellion! ”

Wing King Shi Dakai said: "Yang Xiuqing is flying high, and everyone can be punished." However, the big thing has not been accomplished, the brothers are on the wall, and the hatred is happy. ”

Wei Changhui said: "Yesterday the cane king was forty, and today it is said that Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, and Chen Chengrong, the marquis of Zuo Tian, are the first of my neck!" Brother Wing King, huh? ”

Shi Dakai said: "Please issue an edict from the King of Heaven, and I will kill Yang Shun with the King of the North!" ”

Hong Xiuquan said: "The king regards the minister as a sibling, and the minister regards the king as the heart; The monarch regards the minister as a dog and a horse, and the minister regards the monarch as a countryman; The king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as a wolf. Yang Zhi regards me like a mustard, and I regard Yang as a brother. Ping in the mountain to Tianjing City, decadence and prosperity together, do not confuse people's minds! The two brothers are my siblings, and I am also dependent on them. ”

Wei Changhui said: "Qi Qi Heavenly King, I am the secret palace of the king, and I will be edicted at any time." ”

Hong Xiuquan said: "Yang's minions are all over the world, and His Royal Highness's six Shangshu are bound to reach my brother." The second brother quickly returned to the battlefield and controlled the army, and the second brother had military power in his hands, and I was safe, and the world was safe. If there are unforeseen circumstances, I will secretly edict my brother and others, and my brother will know the benefits and disadvantages, and he will determine his own interests. ”

Wei Changhui said: "The matter has come to this, does the king of heaven have a strategy to subdue demons?" ”

Hong Xiuquan said: "Becoming a king or losing a coward is a common thing in life and death." If you want to do things quickly, you can't reach it, and so do I, Yang, and the two brothers. The situation is that the Qing demon has not been destroyed, and there is an emergency in various places, so you can't lose a big one because of a small one! ”

Fu Shanxiang, the prime minister of the East Palace, said to Yang Xiuqing: "The rod blames the lord of the country, and the joy of the moment attracts the resentment of people and gods."

Hate, wings, north to Beijing, no worries? “

Xiuqing smiled and said, "It's okay! I ordered Wei Changhui to wave his army to Jiangxi and Shi Da to aid Wuchang, and Yang Guozong quickly pulled out the camp and galloped into Beijing. My command, those who disobey, punish them! What a trip to Suzhou and Hangzhou, a dream! ”

Wei Changhui arrived at Hukou again and ordered Huang Wenjin to attack Raozhou, and Huang Yukun to rescue Fuzhou.

The city wall of Raozhou is like a ruin, and there is no danger to defend it, and the elderly of Gannan Province consulted Zeng Guofan for help. Zeng Guofan immediately sent Jin Shilian, the candidate magistrate He Huchen, and the capital Bi Jinke to aid by land and water.

Huang Wenjin led 4,000 troops and set up an ambush to trap them. The elderly were middle-aged, and hundreds of people were annihilated; At the critical moment, Bi Jinke arrived and repelled the Yellow army.

On July 6, 1856, Wei Changhui personally led a large army and attacked Raozhou in five units. The elders sent troops to meet them, and they were ambushed again. Changhui took advantage of the victory to break the city.

Bi Jinke was coerced by the rout, defeated and retreated to Nanchang, angry, recruited 200 dead soldiers, and swore to take Raozhou; And said: "If you don't break the thief ashore, I won't return to the boat!" Bibu's army was greatly inspired, and Rao Cheng was overcome. ”

Wei Changhui supervised the resumption of the attack and broke Raozhou again. Jinke led his troops to fight again, and they were overcome again. Raozhou fell again and again, and Changhui had no intention of repeating it, so he turned to Jingdezhen.

Huang Yukun sat in Linjiang, received Wei Changhui's military order, and immediately divided 3,000 troops, from Tangbu and Qiuxi, to the opposite bank of Shangdundu, and responded to Fuzhou.

Li Yuandu said that Lin Yuanen said: "Resist the enemy on both sides, lose more and win less; Brother Lin besieged the city, and I attacked the yellow thief camp at night. ”

That night, Li Yuandu led 4,000 troops, quietly crossed the river, took advantage of the chaos to besiege, and won the battle.

At the end of the month, Wei Changhui arrived in Linjiang and supervised Huang to attack again.

On August 1, 1856, Huang Yukun personally led an army of 7,000 people, and then went to Shangdundu. Li Yuandu sneak attacked and won again. Huang Yukun tun troops for nine days, no progress, so he made an appointment with Yu Zi'an, the defender of Fuzhou, to attack inside and outside. On that day, the heavy rain poured out, and the defenders of Fuzhou poured out, Li Yuandu was caught off guard, and the defense line was disordered. Huang Yukun took the opportunity to enter Fucheng.

Jiangxi Xuezheng Lian Zhaolun lamented: "The rebels are getting more and more numerous, and our soldiers are getting older and more tired, and it is difficult to overcome the city!" ”

The next day, Huang Yukun was discussing with the guard general Yu Zi'an about a plan to break the siege, and suddenly received Wei Changhui's order to "go to Linrui and help the division with the two lakes"; Yukun was helpless and led his troops to rush.

Yang Xiuqing's nephew Yang Guozong, in Ruizhou, received Xiuqing's secret edict, physical and mental exertion, that is, from Yongfeng to the north, one month, Lianke Huangpo, Guangchang, Nanfeng, Luxi, Guixi, until Guangxin Fangxi.

Zeng Guofan was trapped in Nankang, like sitting on pins and needles, and urgently ordered Li Yuandu to divide his troops to help.

Guangxin only has 400 Qingyong, Xuezheng Lian Zhaolun and prefect Shen Baozhen went out to raise salaries and recruit soldiers, there was no commander in the city, and the gentry and people were panicked.

Only Lin Puqing, the wife of Shen Baozhen, came to the city in person to comfort the three armies. I also heard that Rao Ting, Yushan, Zhejiang, selected a huge number of soldiers, Puqing was surprised, holding a sword and breaking his fingers, and writing with a bloody hand: General Rao's Zhangjiang achievements, tsk the population, and the women and children in Liqu don't know that there is a public circumvention in the sea! This general is also named after the world's aids. During this time, Taishou heard the letter of Ji'an's loss, prepared to defend the city, and went to the estuary with Lian Shilang to raise salaries and recruit. However, because the situation is urgent, recruitment may not be possible; It is especially difficult to recruit and return, and drive the people to fight. I came to investigate the report, and I learned that Guixi was lost yesterday, and the emperor of the people's hearts, the officials and the shopkeepers, all migrated, and the child servants in the department went one after another. The righteousness of stubbornly guarding is not enough to blame this generation, so I have to listen to it, and the clan relies on the sword and the well for his life. Taishou will return to the county tomorrow morning, the husband and wife are very gracious to the country, and they can't repay it with their hands, and they will be responsible for their deaths. The general stationed the Zhejiang army in Yushan and fortified the defense of Zhejiang. Guangxin shielded for Yushan, thieves got Guangxin, took advantage of the victory to reach Yushan, Sun Wu can not be a plan, Ben Yu can not be guarded, Quyan area, I am afraid can not ask. Quanguangxin is to protect Yushan, not to wait for the wise to distinguish it, Zhejiang Province officials can not cross the border to blame the general. The clan devoured blood for help, and the long Xun was on standby, and the dead and dead were flesh and bones, all looking to the general's will. The first palace Bao Wenzhong Gong was edicted to go out of the teacher, the middle way of the Zhi, so far I think it is in deep pain, and now I have to die here, in order to kill the thief, in the spirit of the sky, the real formula is relied on. The villagers did not know their hearts, and greeted them with chariots, went to the forbidden mountain to avoid thieves, pointed to the sword and the well, and wept away. After the Taishou returns tomorrow morning, he should be dedicated to the service again. The team has to pull out the sound, when the pot pulp is eaten, in order to reward the monarch, dare to worship the envoys, and ask for the lives of the creatures of Qiyi. In the past, Suiyang Infant City, Xu Yuan was also immortal. is too loyal to the liver and iron, and the general Gu is not stingy with the same interpreters. Otherwise, Helan's division will have the same roots, but the general will choose the benefits and do it. Pierce the blood of Chen Shu, and wish to hear the fate.

Rao Tingxuan, the chief soldier of Anyi Town, is the old department of Lin Gongze, and the blood book of the forest girl is in tears, that is, two thousand elite soldiers are ordered, and the starry night gallops. The value of the heavy rain rose, the boat rushed to Guangxin. The Taiping army has reached the Taiping Bridge in the west of the city. Tingxuan and Baozhen opened the city to fight, from morning to dusk, destroying its long siege, and the army roared. On the second day of Yue, Yang Guozong led the army to retreat and marched north to Dexing.

Li Yuandu troops went to Liufang, heard that Guangxin was besieged, and then divided his troops to attack Yihuang, and defeated in a battle; Five days later, he attacked Chongren again and regained it.

Fuzhou guards Yu Zi An Wenlin and Li divided their troops, flew to Jingdezhen Taiping Army to attack Xu Wan, and personally led an army out of the city, attacked Li Yuandu's camp, and killed Geng Guangxuan, the official of the Hunan military camp.

Li Yuandu and Lin Yuanen were all panicked, the two legions gathered together, retreated four or five miles and camped, and flew to transfer the divisions of Yihuang and Chongren back to the old camp in Fuzhou. Ercheng Xiangyong was busy eating, drinking, and having fun, and refused to be tuned.

At that time, the Jingdezhen Taiping Army arrived close to the periphery of Xuwan, which was the supply place and donation bureau of the Qing army.

Lin Li's old camp was torn apart, and his troops were empty. Yu Zi'an took the opportunity to go out of the city to attack again, and the Taiping army in Jingdezhen also gave up Xu Bay, crossed the river from Ziliufang, and attacked Lin and Li.

The two armies were in a scuffle, Lin Yuanen was shot and killed, Li Yuandu saw that the general trend was gone, set fire to the camp, drew a knife and killed himself, was stopped by his own soldiers, and fled to Xuwan. Most of the 7,000 troops under it were lost.

Zeng Guofan ordered Li Yuandu to move his army to Guixi and rest and stand by; Please keep the Rao Tingxuan Department stationed in Guangxin, and Wu Shenxiu's department will remain in Fengxin, and the transfer to Guangxin will be postponed to relieve the situation.

When He Guiqing, the governor of Zhejiang, heard about it, he impeached: Jiangxi's Zeng State Domain, and there will be no big battle for several months. In mid-September, in the city of Fuzhou, only hundreds of thieves came out, and the whole army had fled!
