On March 15, 1859, Chen Yucheng's former army was killed in Pukou, with an army of 40,000 troops, facing each other, from the west of Pukou to the east of Jiangpu; Li Xiucheng also ordered the army of Jiuli Mountain to swoop down; The Taiping Army of Jiuhuanzhou poured out 10,000 troops and controlled the southwest.

Zhang Guoliang was defeated, the camps outside Jiangpu City were all breached, and the deputy general Zheng Chaodong, the guerrilla Zhang Zhankui, and the 3,000 soldiers were all cut down.

He Chun hurriedly sent the general soldiers Feng Zicai, Zhang Desheng, and Xiong Tianxi to lead 7,000 troops to aid Jiangpu; He also ordered Chen Shizhong to lead the sailors to assist in sailing to the mouth of the West River. Shengbao also sent Li Zhaoshou to return to Chuzhou.

He Chunfei played Emperor Xianfeng: Chen Yucheng gathered the evil party, intending to break through the Jiangpu Pass and respond to Jinling, and its momentum was unstoppable. The only way to do this is to block and suppress, to rush hard, to consolidate the overall situation first, and then to sweep away.

Feng Zicai and other reinforcements arrived, and Zhang Guoliang went out of the city to fight again, gradually reversing the decline.

Chen Yucheng said that Li Xiucheng said: Zhang Demon Guoliang is also a fierce opponent. Our regiment gathered in Liangpu, and it was difficult to show our troops. Brother guarded Pukou, I went out to attack, transferred Zhang and divided the troops, and the camera surrounded and killed.

Li Xiuchengdao: Yes. I am in the southeast of Pukou, straight to Jiuhuanzhou, and jointly build a long wall to connect with Jinling.

On April 30, Chen Yucheng arrived in Liuhe, joined forces inside and outside, and injured Fu Ming'a, the deputy minister of Jiangbei, and Zhang Yuliang, the general soldier.

Zhang Guoliang quickly dispatched the general troops Feng Zicai, Xiong Tianxi, and General Deng Lianke to join forces for reinforcements. Shengbao also sent Zhang Desheng, the general soldier of Yichang Town, to lead 4,000 troops, and quickly strangled from Xianjian Town; He also ordered Li Zhaoshou to respond quickly to the river; Then send the governor of Hubei De'an, quickly from the sky, south to Liuhe.

Most of the Qing army gathered in Liuhe, Chen Yucheng did not want to wear out, left a garrison in Zhuzhen, led the main force, crossed Lingyan Mountain, went straight into the territory of Yizheng, threatened to attack Tianchang, Yizheng, Yangzhou, and threatened to cross the river by Yizheng to rescue Jinling.

Fu Ming'a was seriously injured, and He Chun couldn't guess what he meant, so he ordered Admiral Ju Dianhua, General Soldier Zhang Yuliang, Xiong Tianxi, and An Yong, and the four of them joined forces to temporarily handle Jiangbei military affairs.

Zhang Guoliang consulted: Ju Dianhua is violent and wanton, every battle is unfavorable, and he insults soldiers at every turn, so he cannot be reused.

And Chunfu listened.

On May 10, 1859, Governor Chen Yucheng led a large army to pass through Yizheng along the path, broke into Yangzhou, and besieged it on all sides.

and spring fear, ordered Zhang Yuliang and Ma Dezhao to rush to help. Then it was repeated: Yangzhou was in danger, Shao Bo, Gao Di and above, martial law everywhere, and there were large soldiers. Only the existing soldiers of Liuhe were brave for the time being, and they retreated step by step over the camp and retreated to Yangzhou. Arranged separately, the county town was guarded for the general period, and the key to the north and south was heavy.

On the 12th, Zhang Yuliang arrived. Chen Yucheng left a block, led the main force, and marched north into the sky.

Tianchang was in a hurry, and Shengbao urgently ordered Li Zhaoshou to gallop from the river to the fortification outside the Great Wall of Heaven, and Shengbao led the main force to attack Zhuzhen, thinking that it was a countermeasure.

On the 14th, Chen Yucheng led the army to Tianchang, Yucheng saw that De'an and Li Zhaoshou were stationed outside the city, and after he led a detour to the De'an camp, there was a burst of gunfire, that is, the Hubei Admiral De'an was killed in front of the battle. Yucheng took advantage of the victory to attack Li Zhaoshou's camp, and as soon as Zhaoshou arrived, the camp was caught off guard and left in defeat. Katsuho personally came to fight and was also defeated. Shengbao retreated to Jiupu, and ordered Li Zhaoshou to garrison the half-tower set, and said that Li said: The south road has its own Hechun cuisine, thieves attack Jiupu, and then occupy Xuyi, and enter the land of no one in the north; At present, the only urgent thing is to strengthen the road ahead.

Chen Yucheng left a department to stick to the sky, disturb day and night, and contain Shengbao; Yucheng led the main force, turned back to the south, and then conquered the stream, and re-encircled Liuhe.

Shengbao is alone in the north, and he plays in panic: Chen Yucheng is a dead party of 60,000 or 70,000, and he gathers in Anhui, counting from Liuhe to reach the sky, and it spreads horizontally, which is quite difficult to clean up. The ministers marched and suppressed less than 5,000 foot soldiers, and the cavalry was only 800. Weichen pleased, played and went north in harmony with the spring festival, and jointly resisted Chen Rebellion.

Emperor Xianfeng took over, and ordered Hechun: If Xuyi is broken, Yue and Twist are reversed, and they will inevitably join forces and wreak havoc on Jianghuai. Quickly dial the elite soldiers in Jiangbei, go to Tianchang, meet with Shengbao, and punish the thieves. He also instructed Guiliang, a scholar of Dongge University, to stay in Shanghai in Shanghai, in exchange for the ruling of the Treaty of Tianjin.

Su Shundao: The temperament of the Yi people must be exchanged in Beijing, and the slaves will knock on the request, so be sure to plan early.

Emperor Xianfeng said: Ruilin, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, rushed to Tianjin, assisted the minister of the Qin Mission, Monk Greenqin, and swore to defend the Dagu coastal defense.

He Chun received the edict, refused to obey the tune, and said: On April 27, the main force of thieves and rebels fled down from Tianchang, and drove three long roads, gathering in Lingyan Mountain, Babu Bridge, Chenjiaqiao and other places in the northeast, and located in the Donggou area of Yizheng; From the northeast of Liuhe, straight to the Donggou River, a hundred miles of camp, repeated defeats, the picture of the Hongshan kiln is very urgent, always want to cut off my salary. Hongshan kiln is more than 20 miles away from Liuhe, close to Donggou, bypassing Guabu, and is the throat of Daying's salary. If the thief is attacked, the Liuhe will be broken. Engraved form, Yangzhou, Yizheng slightly loosened, the minister ordered Zhu Chengxian, the deputy general of Yangcheng, to go to Liuhe, and the general Zhang Yuliang also attacked Donggou by Yizheng. The engraved momentum, the southern camp of Weichen, the army did its best, and the soldiers who came to the north could not be deployed.

Chen Yucheng raised his troops and was about to attack again, when he suddenly received the holy decree of the king of heaven to enter Beijing.

Liu Yinglin said: Recently, the whole army has been talking about it; What kind of person is Hong Renxuan, who entered Beijing for half a month, that is, the elite loyal military division of the Celestial Dynasty to support the king of the Dynasty, and the king of the gods added military divisions, which was unique to the east hall before! Li Zhaoshou and Xue Zhiyuan rebelled one after another, and the king of heaven also suspected Xiucheng, detained his mother and wife, and closed the river to cut off the connection; If Li Xiucheng has a disobedient heart, half of the kingdom of heaven will be lost.

Chen Yucheng said: The extremes of things must be opposed, and the king's move may force good people to become prostitutes.

Liu Yinglin said: The heart of guarding against people is indispensable, and when entering Beijing at this moment, do not pass through Pukou.

Chen Yucheng said again: If Li Xiucheng is opposed, why wait for this mountain to be exhausted, we are too worried!

On June 15, 1859, Chen Yucheng crossed the river to meet the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.

Hong Xiuquandao: When the Chen brothers were loyal and brave, they were specially crowned the king; In the Celestial Dynasty, below the king, the brothers of the king can ask for dispatch. The Ganwang Hong brothers, who were very familiar with me and the king of the south, were very familiar with each other; The new work of the Ganwang brothers, "New Film of Senior Administration", has a novel idea; The Crown Brothers can take a look. The deputy chapter led Li Xiucheng, and it was just a matter of repeated negligence, Li Youzhaoshou's wife and mother were also released by him without authorization, and he has been in frequent contact with Li Demon recently, what kind of system! People's hearts are separated from the belly, and I can not guard against it! Wei Jun, the brother of the Northern Rape, has contributed very little for a year, and has repeatedly refused to listen to the tune, and his heart is grassy? Recently, Wei Jun and Li Xiucheng have frequently passed on books, and they are very close.

Chen Yucheng said: Li Zhaoshou conspired against him, and Weichen also knew it; At that time, the military situation was critical, and there was no time to take care of it. Xue Zhiyuan led the two pus, and I consulted. Li Xiucheng is a bodhisattva and is kind to others; Wechen guarantees that it has no antipathy. Previously, Wei Jun was offensive and defensive, and decisive in killing; Recently, absent-minded, seems to have thoughts.

Hong Xiuquandao: The British brothers can maneuver between Liuhe, Xuyi, and Dingyuan, kill demons for leisure, and watch the show become a trend. Wei Jun's army must also be on guard, I have ordered Yang Fuqing to enter the army emblem and Chi Erzhou, and persuade each other with good words. They are both brothers in heaven, so why fight each other.

Chen Yucheng said: The teachings of the king of heaven are always kept in mind. Just got the report, in the east of Liuhe City, my forty camps were all destroyed by demons, the front line is urgent, and Weichen must be rescued immediately!

Ganwang Hong Renxuan said: Shi Da opened more than 100,000 troops, attacked southern Hunan, and led many demons, compared to Li Zhaoshou and Xue Zhiyuanliu, it seems to be more powerful.

Hong Xiuquandao: Shi Dakai has left the kingdom of heaven, and this person's life and death have nothing to do with the affairs of the Celestial Empire.

Hong Renxuan said: The British brothers are good at destroying great enemies, and their fame shocks the world, which is rarely matched in the world. I saw it today, and sure enough. The two armies are at war, real and false, virtual and real. I thought that the guide would go north, and the spring demon would not dare to look north, so that it could be successful.

Chen Yucheng arched his hand and said: Long live the king of heaven, long live long live, long live the king of heaven, and the king of heaven is very reasonable, that is, ask the king of heaven to dispatch Li Shixian's department, cross the river to the south and return, and feign to enter southern Jiangsu in Dongba to contain the spring demon.

Hong Xiuquandao: The Ganwang brothers are already loyal military divisions, and the army of the heavenly kingdom is dispatched by them. Since then, the king of England has been asked for foreign affairs, and the king has been asked for internal affairs.

On June 19, Yucheng returned to Liuhe, cleaned up the remnants of the rout, suddenly withdrew the siege, and attacked Xuyi in the north. On the 25th, Chen Yucheng's army arrived at the Forty Mile Bridge.

Forty-mile bridge is the southeast pass of Xuyi, if this is lost, Xucheng is difficult to protect. Shengbao made a desperate bet, leaving 300 regiments to practice defending the city, and led 600 horses to gallop to help.

When Chen Yucheng heard that Xuyi was outnumbered, he immediately sent a roundabout attack, and he was defeated in half an hour.

Shengbao was annoyed and ashamed, and hurriedly went up: Now the armies in the north and south of the river are surrounded by the southeast, the west, and the north is alone. Or is it that the northern cities do not belong to them, but beggars the leading countries! It is not true of Jinling, that is, the siege of Liuhe is also the same. The previous time Yue's rebellion disturbed the sky, and the ministers repeatedly begged the north and south of the river with a lone army, and divided the divisions to suppress it, but there was no response for a long time. I hereby give an edict to the thieves to be very blazing, and to order Hechun and others to be close to the various armies under the command of Zhang Yuliang and Xiong Tianxi, and send thousands of them to attack and suppress them together with the ministers. The holy will is earnest, and the thoughts are very earnest. And He Chun and the others always thought that they were afraid of fleeing, and they turned a deaf ear and did not move, and now it has been several months, how can they ever see the division of their brigade come to respond? Do the bandits regard their counsel as a story, or do they regard the hadith as fashionable! Check the 70,000 Jiangnan army and take a corner of Jinling with it, why is it difficult to encircle. Anhui only has an army of 20,000 thousands, spanning more than 700 miles, living everywhere in the land of thieves, attacking bandits in the north, suppressing Guangdong in the south, and benefiting from the soldiers by dividing them. Today's official text uses the Chu division to aid Hunan, but it is not possible to suppress it; Hechun has a heavy army in vain, only trapping thieves in Jiangcheng, and cannot be sent with a single soldier, and in the siege of thieves, they are all lacking in the north, and they are bound to order the north to attack. With the strength of the north and south of the river, he can't encircle it yet! What the minister said is all from the bottom of his heart; The block in the chest is fast. The minister immediately galloped to Jiangba, strengthened the rectification, and looked for an opportunity to overcome Xuyi and curb the thief's idea of going north.
