Zeng Guo was trapped in Jiangxi, and he had relatives in his heart, and he also played: Weichen was in Jiangxi, and he was a civil and military subordinate, and he regarded his ministers as guests and his boss as the main one. The guest and the host have been discriminated against, and it is difficult to respond to it. The huge salary, Ding Cao, and the military officer, dare not overstep the line to conspire; Those who pay the most are advised to donate a penance, and as a guest official, the state and county are not willing to follow it, and the people will not be able to believe it. Wu can't make up for the fact that the general foreign affairs committee can't be under the jurisdiction of the government, the state and county officials. There is no land, no talent, no place and no people. Bitter! However, the generals under the command of Weichen are brave and diligent. At present, the eight genera of Nanchang and the four genera of Yuanzhou are all cleared. The four genera of Nankang have been restored to the third, and the four prefectures of Linjiang, Ruizhou, Ji'an, and Jiujiang also have two genera and four genera each. The current situation, after a while, Ganxi will recover.

Zeng Guofan lacked silver, and he suffered from Bi Jinke. Jinke is a native of Linyuan, Yunnan, not a great-grandson. The military rations were exhausted, and there was no money at all. Jin Ke was helpless, left Raozhou at night, entered Nanchang, and went to see Wen Jun, the governor of Jiangxi, facing the war, and kneeling to beg for food.

Wen Jun said: "I haven't arrived, the general will attack Raozhou, the thief will not break, he will not return to the boat, and he will be brave." Jingdezhen in the northwest of Raozhou, thieves have been in it for many years, and the general captured it, and the salary is abundant. ”

Zeng Guo blocked and said: "Jingdezhen! Wei Jun's more than 10,000 troops were newly stationed in the defense, which was a moth to the fire. ”

Bi Jinke said: "Death horizontally and vertically, starvation is the most shameful; The soldiers held the battle, attacked the city and plundered the land, and died as they deserved. ”

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Bi Jinke led a thousand troops, rushed to attack it, entered the city and did not see a person, led ten soldiers to search and arrest, the defenders swarmed, injured seven of them, and killed three of them, Jin Ke stabbed himself vertically and horizontally, trampled blood out, and retreated to Wangjiazhou.

Wei Jun ordered the soldiers to attack with a nozzle canister, but Jinke had no way to avoid it, and many bullets pierced his body and died.

Wei Jun besieged and killed Bi Jinke, and many parties were shaken, and Shi Dakai ordered Wei Jun to integrate the army of eastern Gan and reinforce Linjiang and Ji'an. Wei Jun received the order, divided the troops and sent generals, from Leping, Wannian, and Anren, to Dongxiang and Fuzhou; The rear soldiers were divided into two routes, leading all the way to help Lin and Ji. In addition, it was divided into a road to Yiyang and Yingtan to attack Li Yuandu's Guixi camp.

The battle in Linjiang was tight, and Liu Changyou marched west from Yuanzhou, captured Xinyu, and camped in Taiping Ruins. Xiao Qijiang captured Yingangling. The two of them are horns for each other, and they jointly resist Wei Jun's army.

Liu Changyou said: "Yingangling, Zhangshu in the south, Xinyu in the west, Yifeng in the north, the soldiers must fight." I allocated 1,000 troops to help the platform, and you and I will work together to help each other in the same boat. ”

Xiao Qijiang said: "Lord Xie Zhentai took care of it, Huang Mian, the prefect of Ji'an, captured Xiajiang County and opened up the connection between Linjiang and Ji'an. We support each other, and the thief can refuse. ”

Eastern Jiangxi was in turmoil, and Shi Dakai ordered Wei Jun, Shi Zhenji, and Yang Fuqing to gallop together to pacify eastern Jiangxi and support western Jiangxi. Shi Zhenji was reluctant to send Wei to the fence, and Yang Fuqing also regarded Wei as an enemy. Shi Dakai was helpless, so he ordered Shi Zhenji and Yang Fuqing to enter Fujian from Jiangxi and expand their territory.

Wei Jun sighed: "People are not like the old, the right is not exclusive, the heart has been separated, and the body can't help itself." "Then Jishui rescued Xiajiang, and divided more than 10,000 troops to gather Jishui and aid Ji'an in the south; Wei Junzi led an army of 20,000 troops, divided into four routes, and attacked Yingangling.

Xiao Qijiang used an army of 3,000 to block the left and the right, and struggled to support it, and the situation was precarious.

Taipingxu Barracks, Liu Kun of the Camp Office: "Xiao Bu will be wiped out overnight, save it?" ”

Liu Changyou said: "Qijiang is brave, but it can last for more than a month, and it is too early to say that it is too late." Zeng's army, if you win, you will raise a glass to celebrate, and if you lose, you will desperately save each other. Xiao Naixiang, an old general of the Xiang army, Zeng's will not die without help. Yingangling is forty miles away from Ruizhou, and if Liu Tenghong is saved, he will arrive in half an hour. Liu Zhi, I also poured out. The thief will perish. However, Zeng's heart is like a rock; You and I must be on the back foot and be ready to help. ”

Liu Kun said: "In the past, Liu Tenghong and Xiao Qijiang were under Luo Luoshan, working side by side, and Liu Dang considered it. ”

Xiao Qijiang was in a hurry, Liu Tenghong wanted to be saved, and Zeng Guofan consulted: Ruizhou is a city that is the key to the whole province, and if this city is pulled, the soldiers can be divided by him.

Liu Tenghong looked up at Jiancheng and sighed.

Wei Jun couldn't attack for a long time, so he suddenly turned around, turned to attack the Taiping Ruins, and lined up for more than 20 miles, first clashes with Xiao Cai, and then surrounded by strange soldiers. Second, Liu was not supported, and the whole army was defeated. Liu Changyou dismounted and led the saber to cut himself, Liu Kun stopped strongly, hugged the horse, and surrendered the insurance.

Liu Changyou was defeated, Zeng Guofan's heart palpitated, and Zhao Liewen said: "I don't move my soldiers, Liu Zimo hates it?" ”

Zhao Liewen said: "Draw the sword and cut yourself, how can a strong man be at the end of the road, how can he be hateless." However, the army pressed the border, and Liu and Xiao divided their troops, and they took the blame. Liu didn't save Xiao, and Xiao didn't help Liu. Liu is first, and hatred is short. ”

Guofan said: "Liu Zimo is like Peng Xueqin, not greedy for merit, not trying to escape; Zhuang respects the merits of self-improvement, and his life is like a day, where does hatred come from? Hateful Wei rebellious, Wei rebellious and hateful, bad and absolutely good. Bi Yinghou, who was brave enough to go down to the Tazhi Pavilion, was actually a handful of silver taels, and died in the hands of Wei Wei. I am ashamed to correspond to Hou, and I am ashamed to correspond to Hou. The country said nothing, and tears wet his clothes. ”

The next day, someone from Xiangxiang came to Yanguo's father's funeral. The national clan howled day and night, and his body and mind were involuntarily, and then he went to the top: since he served as an official, for more than 20 years, he has not been able to serve his relatives for a day. In the past, the mother's funeral was not weekly, and the ink was not in charge, and now the father's funeral is not regarded as a funeral. And the military camp for several years, and there are too many achievements, in the country for a useless person, at home there are a hundred bodies of inatonement, Ruizhou to the minister's house is only ten days of time, the same day to return home. Chachen handled the incident, with the sailor as a major end. Admiral Yang Zaifu, Taoist Peng Yulin, Waijiang Neihu, more than 500 united front ships, more than 2,000 gun positions, this is not something that a minister can do. The material resources of several provinces, the management of various governors, and Yang Zaifu's war exploits for several years have become this naval army. Please send Yang Zaifu to supervise the affairs of the water division of the outer river and the inner lake, and Peng Yulin to assist the affairs of the water division, and the two will be able to clear the situation on the river. And asked the Hubei Fuchen to raise 50,000 yuan of silver every month to hand over the water camp to avoid starvation.

The national domain is sparse, and he does not wait for the emperor's permission, that is, he will go away with Guohua and Guoquan.

Jiangxi Governor Wen Jun was annoyed, and said that Xi'an General Fuxing said: "I have gone to the army, and we have no right to dispatch Xiangyong, so how can we resist thieves?" ”

Fuxing said: "When I went to Ruizhou, Xiangyong didn't listen to the tune; Yang Zaifu is far away in Jiujiang, how can he be dispatched? Chu Zhixiang Yong, Zeng Zhi forbidden. Zeng's messy behavior, people and gods are angry! ”

Wenjun and Fuxing will play: Anhui Province's military affairs are only the air raid on the East Road, Guangxin is related to the province's fence, and the military strength of the two counties has been empty for a long time. However, unless you have a heavy army, you must not be determined to win. The bandits spread, and their armies were not only defending the fortified city as a horn, but also dividing the town to defend it; There are a lot of guns, rice and grain, and the roads are different, and they are connected to the Jilin Roads. Our troops who advance and suppress must divide and march together, first set up and pass the pass, and cut off each other, so that they cannot wait for the gap to rush and support each other, so that they can advance and attack with all their might. Otherwise, the thieves are outnumbered, and no matter how deep the lone army is, it will be overwhelming; Even if they set up camp premises, they were also afflicted by the enemy on several sides. Now the Jiujiang First Army on the North Road is tightly encircled by land and water, and its momentum is difficult to draw; Linjiang and Ji'an, there are no soldiers to divide; To the situation of Ruizhou, the battalions excavated Changhao, besieged on all sides, there is a great opportunity to take advantage of, if because of the division of troops, the failure of the death, it is a pity. Others have no other division to adjust and plan the journey, and the thieves on the east road cannot be left to their own devices, so don't let them change. In the case of suppressing Fujian, it is especially necessary to block the gateway of Rao County first. Blocking is insufficient, suppressing is even more difficult, and the minions and other people are also troubled and anxious. Roughly calculated, it will always take a strong force to make a lot of money, and it will take at least six or seven thousand to be able to start.

At this time, Wei Jun led the army and re-attacked Yingangling. The national vassal camp is worried, Liu Tenghong is no longer fettered, and the troops are coming. Wei Jun didn't want to be hard to wear, so he withdrew the siege and went south, from Jishui to Shuidong, and crossed the river one after another to help Ji'an.

Wei Junbing came to the city, and Fuxing, Zhou Fengshan, and Wenyi were all panicked.

Fuxing was surprised: Jijun has been in February, and more than 10,000 thieves have been suddenly added, and the backlash is very strong. And there are Jishui and Xiajiang bandits, and they think about copying my back road. The thieves of Yongfeng disturbed Taihe, and recently went up to Wan'an. Our army has thousands of people on land and water, and they are overwhelmed by both prevention and suppression.

Zhou Fengshan said: "The generals of Hunan and Chu, the wisdom and courage are not as good as Luo Luo Mountain and Ta Zhi Pavilion, the two generals are gone, and my ordinary people are at a loss, so they are sitting and watching." Ten thousand thieves attacked, and they ignored it and killed themselves; Gather together, swear to fight to the death, and survive the Jedi. ”

Wen Yi said: "My generation Tongji camp, many generals don't listen to the tune, it's difficult!" ”

Fuxing said: "The two armies are fighting, the enemy is current, the Zeng brothers, they are in a hurry, leaving only a few words, hoping that we will die soon?" ”

The war in Jiangxi was embarrassing, and Emperor Xianfeng dismissed Wenjun and promoted him to the governor of Jiangxi.

Wei Jun fought for two months, the soldiers were tired, and he did not attack in vain, only around Ji'an, raising food and silver to recruit troops, and waiting to fight again.

One day, news came from Tianjing, saying that Wei Jun had left Wuchang without permission, and the king wanted to kill the monkey and make an example of the chicken.

Wei Jun listened, sighed and sighed, and led the army north to Jingdezhen, and no longer had the heart to fight.
