Li Xiucheng trapped in the whole pepper, more than a month, the suffering is endless, so the general of the town of Tongwen, all the generals of the Heavenly Dynasty will be passed on to the party, and the day will be arranged to go to Zongyang in Anhui Province to account.

On July 20, 1858, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, Li Shixian, Wei Jun, Wu Ruxiao, Huang Wenjin, Gong Deshu, Zhu Fengkui, Zhang Chaojue, Chen Decai, Li Zhaoshou and others all went to Zongyang. Everyone discussed for eight days, swore an oath of one heart, and agreed that each department would draw troops and transfer generals to form two armies in the west and east, each with Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng in charge; The Western Army galloped to Luzhou, opened up northern Anhui, converged with the Eastern Army, swept the Jiangbei camp, controlled and choked Liangpu, and responded to Tianjing.

Hong Xiu was very relieved to read the whole contract, and then issued an edict: Meng Deen is the chief general of the Chinese army, and he is in charge of the military and government of the Heavenly Kingdom; Chen Yucheng was promoted to the former army commander-in-chief, and he was in charge of the battle and controlled the battle situation; Li Xiucheng was promoted to the chief general of the army, and the deputy commander; Li Shixian was promoted to the chief general of the Left Army; Wei Junsheng was promoted to the commander of the right army.

Mond said: The position of the main general, the younger brother is not talented, and he can be relieved at any time.

Xiuquan was in a trance in vain, woke up and replied: After many years before, one word can resist Jiuding! Now the years are all self-satisfied. Today's kingdom of heaven, only believe in Mengdi, the younger brother is the pillar of the heavens, and the defense of Tianjing City depends on Mengdi. Shi Da Kaibu, with 100,000 soldiers, would rather work in Zhejiang and Fujian than help my heavenly kingdom, ridicule? Just now the Father of Heaven came, saying that the house of heaven is full of rebels, and now only the three sons of me, Jesus, and Xiuqing are collected! and that the wings shall fall; And Fuqing maneuvered the Fujian realm, slashed demons and subdued demons, and had outstanding achievements, and could be the chief general of the Chinese army. What did Monti think?

Mondsey said: Heavenly Father's voice will benefit the kingdom of heaven. As the main general, the younger brother can be relieved at any time; Chen and Li may secretly complain.

Xiuquan said: This is not a painting cake and a plum, and it is not a peach and three scholars! When the old and the young brothers work together, the kingdom of heaven will be boosted. As the chief general of the Chinese army, a special person must be sent to report to Yang Zhi in six ways.

Yang Fuqing was in Pucheng, and he was the brother of the country, and he was also the chief general of the Chinese army, and he was pleasantly surprised, and he urgently said Yang Yiqing: This situation is too complicated, how can it be good?

Yang Yiqing said: Shi Yi defeated Ganjiang and Quzhou again, and entered Fujian in panic, like a lost dog; Attached to it, it is difficult to protect his life. Don't do two endlessly, simply say goodbye, go north to Jiangxi and Anhui, lead the armies, conquer the city, and support the heavenly kingdom.

Yang Fuqing said: If Shi Ruoqiang stays, how about it?

Yang Yiqing said: If Shi is strong, I will be strong; Shoot two and scatter, don't miss each other! When the king learned of this, he was also at ease.

Yang Fuqing said: I am weak, self-judge is not the enemy of the wing army, if you are in the same room, you will lose both sides if you are not eliminated. The wing hall is kind, and it will not be here. I order: The Fujian land occupied by our department will only leave Pucheng and give it to Shiyi; The rest of Songxi, Zhenghe, Jianyang, Shaowu, etc., all gave up, and immediately went north to southern Jiangnan to support the kingdom of heaven.

Yang Yiqing said: Shao Wu has many stone wings in the old department, or he doesn't listen to the tune.

Yang Fuqing said: Xian and tell it, go or stay, listen to it.

Yang Fuqing went north, Zhang Sui plotted not to be angry, forcibly used troops, and there was a small fire. Shi Da opened the block, saying: Assist the Qing Dynasty to move north, kill the Qing demon, not for rebellion; He is also a brother of heaven, let him go.

Shi Zhenjidao: is still a brother of the kingdom of heaven, Hong Xiuquan has removed our name, and after that, the surname Shi is no longer the national sect. It's come to this, so why not be unique; If you deserve to die, don't you want to be the emperor? I swear to the death with my brothers to open up the territory!

Zhang Suimou said: "This is Hong Xiu's strategy to divide the world, Hong is no longer benevolent, and the wing hall must not be righteous again." ”

Shi Da Kaidao: Don't count the fame, kill the demons, and serve the heavens.

Shi Zhen Jidao: In this case, there is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, so you must plan early.

Shi Da Kaidao: First hit the nearby states and counties, connect the land into pieces, rest for a long time, and then determine the place.

On August 16, 1858, Shi Dakai sent troops to besiege Songxi and Zhenghe; Two days later, they withdrew from the siege to the west to attack Chong'an, Shuiji, and Jianyang, and within half a month, they were overcome one by one.

Fujian Governor Qingduan urgently consulted Zhou Tianshou: Shuiji Town, the ground is wide, and it is the waterway of Fujian Province; If the Taiwan army enters Fujian, please work hard and raise troops immediately to annihilate this rebellion.

Northern Fujian was in an emergency, and Emperor Xianfeng also ordered Zeng Guofan to quickly move to the aid of Zhejiang's division, and attack Chong'an from Lead Mountain.

Zhou Tian was consulted, that is, together with his younger brother, Zhou Tianpei, the chief soldier of Heli Town, Dai Qingwu, a guerrilla, and Zhang Quanqing, the magistrate of Pucheng, the soldiers were divided into four routes and besieged Pucheng. The two armies fought for half a day, and the Taiping army broke through the west gate and retreated from the city.

Zhou Tian was overjoyed, and immediately supervised the troops to pursue and suppress, and in half a month, northern Fujian lost land, and all of them were recovered except for Shaowu.

Shi Dakai has been defeated repeatedly, and his subordinates are centrifugal.

On August 30, Hu Qixiang led 6,000 troops and said goodbye. On September 12, Jingluo Yang led 10,000 troops in Tian, left Fujian and entered Jiangxi, and went straight to Jingdezhen. Before long, Lin Caixin, the commander of the Citi Army, led more than 10,000 troops to enter Xincheng County, Jiangxi. Dakai's cousin Shi Zhenji also did not listen to the tune, formed an army without authorization, and advanced into southwest Fujian.

Zhang Suimou said: This momentum cannot be postponed any longer, and the wing hall must quickly determine the place to go.

Shi Da opened the road: According to the brother's wishes, the north enters southern Jiangnan, the west takes Hunan and Chu, and the nearest Sichuan.

On September 14, 1858, Zeng Guofan, together with Zhang Yunlan, Zhu Pinlong, and Wu Guozuo, marched to the mouth of the Jianchang River and slashed Hu Qixiang's army nearby.

Zhang Yunlan was anxious to enter Fujian, but Zeng Guofan did not allow it, and said: After passing through Fuzhou, Jianchang and Jingde, and Ji'an and Linjiang will be connected to make a piece, and wait for the thief to come.

On the same day, Zeng Guofan said: According to Shen Baozhen of Jiujiang Province and Li Yuandu of Candidate Dao, according to the confession of thieves, Yang Fuqing, the puppet national sect, and Shi Wei led more than 100,000 thieves. In May of this year, Yang Shun still pretended to be Yang Xiuqing's false name and claimed to be the East Palace, Shi Shun was jealous of him, and killed each other, so Yang Shun took 60,000 or 70,000 thieves to abandon Pucheng, disturbed Guangfeng and Yushan, and parted ways. There are still 70,000 or 80,000 people in Shizhi, entrenched in various genera of Fujian Province, and the wolves are rushing to the pigs, and they cannot measure their direction.

In mid-October, Shi Dakai led the army to attack Ruijin in southern Jiangnan, rested for three days, and divided his troops into four attacks.

The governor of Jiangxi, Qi Ling, was in the south of Jiangxi, and there were no soldiers to be allocated, so the Advisory Council Zeng Guofan allocated troops to rescue.

Zeng Guofan did not allow it, and said: The thieves of Southern Jiangxi, there are still many people, and there are few fierce ones, and it is not possible for a guest army to do it suddenly.

Emperor Xianfeng's edict: Shi Cheng is really a thief, and non-local group training can be destroyed. With the squire coordinating the overall situation of Anhui Province, there is no need to go north on the same day, and the south road is slightly loosened, and then go to the junction of Anhui and Chu to prepare for the overall situation.

The national domain had no choice but to temporarily stay in Jianchang.

Emperor Xianfeng issued another edict: Shi rebelled against Zhejiang, and the Zhejiang people impeached Yan Duanshu for poor handling and poor resistance; He Guiqing, the governor of Liangjiang, investigated and handled, and Hu Xingren temporarily acted as the governor of Zhejiang. The thieves are embarrassed, and they are no longer monolithic. In front of him, there was a monk Greenqin, who recruited Zhan Qilun's department, and Zhan Chen led Mao Yong to the south and won many times. Guanwen, Hu Linyi, Shengbao, Hechun, Zeng Guofan, etc., should also observe words and emotions and recruit anti-lawyers; For the way of war, it is not decisive to kill, and the blood flows like a river; The soldiers who surrender without a fight, the living beings are not slaughtered, and the good is great.

Hu Xingren was appeased, Zuo Zongtang was unhappy, and consulted Zeng Guofan: Brother Tai is a first-class member of Zhejiang, who can supervise 40,000 troops; Two months to come, this trip is fast? Zhejiang's reckless replacement, Nanke is a dream! Hu Xingren's qualifications are mediocre, he has more things to do and less to do, and Luo Fu has been impeached; Its people are in Zhejiang, and Suzhou and Hangzhou are empty!

Zeng Guofan also blamed himself: My temperament is so slow!
