Chapter Eighty-Three: Li Xubinlik Jiujiang

Hu Linyi received the order, went to the battlefield in person, and supervised the attack.

Li Xubin said: Lin Qirong is a thief, he is desperate, and he still resists to the death.

Hu Linyi Road: The stone thief has opened and has entered Zhejiang; Li Thief Xiucheng, trapped in Quanjiao; Chen Yucheng and Wei Jun, two thieves, were defeated at the beginning and fled to Huang'an and Macheng; Li Mengqun and Shengbao recaptured Lu'an; This is the best opportunity for Kexun.

On May 8, 1858, Li Xubin blew up the city in the cave, destroying the south gate wall of more than 10 zhang, the Hunan army swarmed in, Lin Qirong ordered the defenders to throw the medicine barrel, burning and bombarding, the Hunan army was killed and wounded, the offensive slowed down, and the gap was blocked.

Continue to continue to dig, re-dig the road under the southeast gate, collapse the city wall more than 100 zhang, the Hunan army entered, and the whole city was washed in blood.

Jiujiang City, all the generals are happy. But Peng Yulin was angry.

Hu Linyi said: Victory and defeat are common feelings, and so am I. The year before last, the thief quarrel, Wuchang recovered; Go to the year of thieves, Hukou, Jiujiang Deke. If the thief is in trouble, the two cities will be gained? Lin Qirong guarded Jiujiang for five years, relying on the dangerous city, driving the lonely army, and the food was exhausted, but he was still stubborn. Citigroup is unruly and undisciplined, and Jiujiang City is broken, but it can die for it. Although the Hunan army is prosperous, there is no pay for half a month, and it mutinies, although it is good at fighting such as Xubin and Bao Chao, it is inevitable that it is a sigh that the soldiers are not as good as thieves, and it is difficult to understand. Generals, after rejoicing, reorganize the troops and weapons, and point to Anqing. As soon as Anqing is obtained, the overall situation is decided!

Peng Yulin said: Gewu Zhizhi, through the world, our generation original; In troubled times, he has no choice but to fight; The two armies are engaged in battle, and life and death are fate; Slaughtering the old and killing the young, this killing is fun?

Li Xubin was silent.

Hu Linyi sighed: In the realm of Xueqin, I might as well do it. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs; The saints are unkind, and use the people as dogs; The people are unkind, and they are dogs to each other. The thieves rebelled against Quanzhou and Cangzhou to slaughter the city, and we killed in Xuncheng, and regarded each other as dogs!

Emperor Xianfeng received Jiujiang Ke and folded, and was overjoyed, that is, he said: Hu Qing Lin Yi, clean up the Qiandi, settle the Hubei region, support Jiangxi and Anhui alone, overcome Jiujiang, and the first governor of the world is also the first governor of the world, and the prince is less protected. The official document of the governor of Huguang, full of banners, has a good way to manage Hubei, Xuncheng has been restored, and the contribution is indispensable, and the prince is less protected. Li Qing continued to be a guest, and he was appointed as the political envoy of Zhejiang, with the title of governor. Yang Qing Zaifu, the leader of the Yangtze River, and the governor of Hubei. Peng Qing Yulin, who supports Poyang Neihu, holds the title of political secretary.

Day after day, the official document was played again: Li Xubin, Zeng Guohua and others entered Jiujiang, and the rebels in the city had no way to run, and the shouts were unaudible, and they were wiped out from Mao to noon. But when the corpses were piled up, and the water was scarlet, they passed by in turn, and the houses were all ashes, and there was not a living thing in the city, except for the surviving women, all of whom were destroyed. The minions have been reading the Jiujiang Bandit Cave for six years, and more than 10,000 thieves are stubborn, and there is no good kind of them, and the people who are coerced will be designed to escape as soon as possible.

Emperor Xianfeng's edict: When is the time for retribution! However, the thieves rebelled and broke the city, and the people of the Han Dynasty were all killed, and they were very hateful. Li Qing and Meng Qun, resisting the twisting bandits in the north, arriving in Guangdong in the south, recovering Lu'an, and being in good service. Chin this.

Li Mengqun took over the decree and said: There is almost no land in the whole province of Anhui. Now there are Chu and Quan's thieves in the east, Qian, Tai, Shu, and Tong's Kou in the south, and Fengyang and Huaiyuan in the north. Only this Lu'an and Chu Yu are adjacent to the Liu'an of Kefu, and it is still a first-line road that can be passed. The Anhui soldiers used both the host and the guest, and the Anhui thieves fought between the north and the south.

Hu Linyi and the official text recital: Li Mengqun's soldiers bravely went to Luzhou, returned to Fuji, the two soldiers were united, and their forces increased to Gu Donglu. Shengbao chokes Yingbo North Road, Yuan Jia three blocks the Yuhuai Xu Road, and the south is forced to do so, so that the rebels will not be in a hurry to the north, and it will be difficult to restrain them. Li Xubin attacked from the middle, Duxing A entered the army from Sutai, and Yang Zaifu's water division attacked Anqing directly, so that the reverse could not be taken into account. Our army is easy to deal with.

Fu Ji also played: The military affairs of Anhui Lu are becoming more and more embarrassing, and in addition to the rebels, Zheng Kuishi's department cannot be dispatched.

Emperor Xianfeng did not allow Li Mengqun to go to Lu, and ordered him to go to Linhuai as soon as possible, not to be delayed. In addition, Fu Zhenbang, the chief soldier of Xuzhou Town, was transferred from Suzhou to Anhui, and Zheng Kuishi, the chief soldier of Shouchun Town, left Anhui and returned to Suzhou; to relieve the difficulties of blessings. He also ordered Hechun and Dexinga to attack Jinling, Jinling Deke, and everything was solved.

That night, Li Mengqun rode alone and met with Fuji, so that the general would not be subject to the orders of the monarch outside, and decided to attack Shucheng and support Huai.

He Chun received the order, mobilized a large army, and stormed Moling Pass. Li Xiucheng held on hard for April, killed more than 1,000 enemies, and killed the fierce general Hu Kunyuan.

He Chun was unmoved, still attacked, and after recovering Zhang Guoliang's attack, Zhang Ziliang disturbed.

Zhang Guoliang sent the general soldier Li Ruozhu to cross the outer Qinhuai and build 3 fortifications behind the side of Guojia Bridge to cut off the connection between Moling Pass and Yin Lane; Five days later, the Huangni Nunnery was captured. Zhou Tianpei, the chief soldier of Heli Town, disguised the Taiping Army and won the Xishan Bridge.

The Moling Pass and Xishan Bridge camps were all lost, and Li Xiucheng did not dare to fight again, so he broke through and retreated to Yuhuatai.

Li Ruozhu and Zhou Tianpei pursued the troops exhaustively, and the Sanshan Battalion, the Sanxia River, and the Dasheng Pass were captured one by one.

Hechun Xijuan: The situation in Jinling is based on Taiping and Shencemen as the left wing, Yuhuatai as the right wing, Sanshan and Banqiao as the throat, and Sanchai River and Xishan Bridge as the vein. Now the left and right wings have been cut off, since the big victory pass to the small line, dozens of miles of base cards are flat, and its momentum has gradually become a desperate bet. This is something that has not been seen in several years. After that, it can cut off the city thieves to help, and its momentum will be difficult for a long time. More than 50 miles in the northeast road, outside the barracks, the wall is affiliated, and it is difficult to fly over. All the way to the southwest, our division has joined more than 40 battalions, connecting more than 80 miles. Engrave Dexing's soldiers to restore Jiangpu and attack the thieves' nest in Jiuhuanzhou.

Li Xiucheng was defeated in successive battles, so he had to enter the city to face Chen Hongxiuquan, saying that the situation was in danger, and there was no way to save it without external transfer; When employing people, Lin Shaozhang and Wei Jun can be reused; In the eventful autumn, the two kings of An and Fu must not interfere in politics again.

Xiuquan considered it again and again and agreed one by one. Xiucheng then handed over the military affairs of Tianjing to Lin Shaozhang, the local official and deputy prime minister, and rushed to Wuhu from the south gate to discuss with his cousin Li Shixian about aiding Beijing.

Xiuchengdao: Tianjing City is sleepy, but Jiuhuanzhou and Qilizhou can be intermittently passed. I mean, one enemy on the south bank, one enemy on the north shore, echoing each other from afar, supporting Tianjing, but?

Li Shixian said: How long can Tianjing last?

Xiuchengdao: For a year and a half, there is no problem. Tianjing is rich in grain and materials, and there is more than one piece, although there are few soldiers in Beijing, there are food and fish and each is willing to fight, solid and stable. In addition, there are Wuwei, Chaoxian and Wuhu in Anhui Province, the solidity of Liangshan in the east and west, the grain of Hezhou, and the passage of the two Pu, which is solid and stable.

Shixian Dao: Detective, Yang Fuqing also regarded himself as the East Palace, and the Wing King was not on good terms with him.

Xiuchengdao: The theory of the east hall may be the strategy of the differentiation of the king. Shi Yang went north and south, running east and west, seeking no new ideas, no fixed residence, repeated defeats, how can he not disperse! So very good, Er and Wei Jun, plus Yang Bu, three-legged, Ningjun, Wuhu solid.

At the beginning of May 1858, Li Xiucheng crossed the Yangtze River to the north, gathered 20,000 people, and within half a month, Liankehezhou, Quanjiao, Chuzhou, and Lai'an, one step away from Pukou.

Dexing A was frightened, and said that Weng Tongshu said: Tens of thousands of thieves in Wuhu crossed the river in the upper reaches, met the thieves of Chao County and Wuwei Prefecture, and rushed into Hezhou from the Hanshan area, and attacked Quanjiao and Chuzhou, such as entering a no-man's land. Today, with the soldiers of Jiangbei Du Jinling going north, there is still a fear that the strength will not continue, and the situation will be increased by 20,000 people.

Weng Tongshu said: Jinling army tens of thousands, excavation of Changhao, the siege has been closed, only the remaining pass is rampant. And spring hesitant and full of ambition. The thieves of Jiuhuanzhou rebelled against the river, and the heart of watching was not stopped. The thieves in the west road in northern Anhui and Han are fluctuating and abnormal, and Xu Su is tight, and it is bound to spread. Li Zhixiucheng has crossed north again. I am surrounded by enemies, listen to what they want, once it becomes a prairie fire, it is really beyond imagination, quickly ask for help and spring.

Dexing Adao: Anhui Province is not a place for me to expel, do not fall into it.

He Chun heard that Jiangbei was in a hurry, and allocated 2,000 troops to help. Dexing A temporarily gave up Jiuhuanzhou, transferred troops and sent generals, and attacked Lai'an, Quanjiao, and Chuzhou.

Weng Tongshu took the lead, led an army of 4,000, divided the troops into three routes, attacked Lai'an in the north, fought for three days, and conquered it.

When he came to Ancheng and lost, Li Xiucheng did not entangle, so he ordered Li Zhaoshou to guard Chuzhou, led the army to Quanjiao, camped in Daliuzhuang, prepared for more than a month, and swept away the two Pu in the first battle, opened up the river road, and won the hearts of the people in Anjing.

Dexing A penetrated Li Yi, and then gathered the main force on Shimoi Bridge and Gaowang to block its way; He also ordered the horse team to ambush between the two bridges of Chen and Shi to cut off its way home.

On that day, Chen Kunshu took the new entrants as the vanguard, led the elite to supervise him, and wanted to strike later. Unexpectedly, the people were brave and defeated without a battle; The Chinese army could not stop it and retreated; The rear army did not know what was going on and retreated.

Dexing'a took the opportunity to attack, the Taiping army collapsed in an instant, and the 13 camps of Daliuzhuang and Quemiaoji also fell, and Li Xiucheng only fled to Quanjiao with a few horses, and did not dare to move again. It was a sleepless night, and Li Shixian said, the previous East King and the Wing King were in the dynasty, and they were invincible in all battles, and they were invincible in the wind, but now they have been defeated repeatedly, why not? Brothers work together, and their strength breaks gold. Our generation must not be shallow, and do not fight the autumn wind in vain.
