The officials in Shanghai were all panicked, and the Susong Grain Road Yangfang Road: Jiading, Taicang, Qingpu, and Songjiang were all lost, and the British and French fleets also arrived, and we were already trapped in the urn.

Su Song Taidao Wu Xu said: Yi people, we don't have to worry, in Shanghai, Yi people already have a garrison; Passing by this morning, his camp was peaceful, and there was no sign of war.

Xue Huandao, the governor of Jiangsu, said: I can make the Huaer foreign gun team fight the Cantonese bandits in Songjiang, I am afraid that the ships will be strong, and the Cantonese bandits are also afraid. Although the number of Huaer foreign guns is small, they are all admirers of the guns, or they can be a blockbuster. If the battle is opened, I will be attacked by the enemy on my back, and this will not be feasible. I will immediately meet with the British and French ministers to welcome the priest.

When the British and French fleets sailed to the Wusong wharf, the British envoy Ergin said to the French envoy Grodao: Six years ago, when I went to Nanjing in person, Hong Yang replied to me 31 articles and asked 50 questions, and he regarded the world as one family, categorically rejected our "Treaty of Nanjing", and said that we should pay tribute to him, etc., and his heart was only self-respecting and could not be negotiated.

Ge Luodao: The people of the Qing Kingdom do not pay lip service, regard the law as nothing, and are full of benevolence and righteousness, but for their own selfishness, they dare to kill people and set fires. The state of his country is as dark as the sky of my Middle Ages. However, the Qing people in Shanghai were quite civilized.

Erjin Dao: Shanghai is not the end of our trip, we are only waiting for the envoy to be stationed in Beijing, the exchange of seals, the settlement of military expenses, and the compensation for land cession. I intend that it should not be confined to the concession area, but the whole of Shanghai should be assisted in defense. 400 French soldiers guarded the east and north gates of Shanghai; The west gate and the south gate, the direction of the enemy's main attack, were guarded by 900 English soldiers. We will raise enough supplies and immediately set off to the north.

Gro smiled and said: The Qing officials in Shanghai are extremely deferential, and the cost of my army to defend the city has already been prepared; The shortage of freshwater vegetables, meat, and eggs on our warships has also been supplemented; As everyone knows, our fleet going north is to attack its lair.

Erjin Dao: The Qing Dynasty and China, Britain and France, do not have a deep hatred, and we are waiting for this trip only to exchange contracts and settle claims for the trade envoys. If the Qing emperor is obedient, I will not let go of a shot.

The captain of the foreign gun team, Huaer, received the order to attack Songjiang, and he was full of spirit, and said: Raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, the contemptible people will definitely live up to the high expectations of Messrs. Xue, Wu, and Yang Zhu.

Deputy team Bai Qiwen said: We have only 100 soldiers, sailors, deserters, and Manilans are temporarily formed, and the training is less than half a month, can it be done?

Waldau: My Burke-type front-loading musket-loading flintlock pistol, Brunswick-type front-loading rifle-starting pistol, the range of the ultra-clear human rifle is two or three times that of the shotgun; Today's most advanced Enfil firing rifle is also equipped with me. Our gun team has not arrived, and the enemy in Songjiang City may have fled when they heard the news.

On July 2, 1860, Waldor led a foreign gun team to attack Songjiang; A hundred guns were fired in a row, lasting one day, and did not approach the city walls. That night, Lu Deshun, who recognized the righteousness of the sky, led the Taiping army out of the city to counterattack, and the foreign gun team was crushed at the first touch.

Wu Xu and Yang Fang summoned Wall and said: Victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers!

Waldau: Your country has repeated two and no more, and there is also one drum of vigor and two drums of decay and three exhaustion, there is no need for three, I will cut the weak and the disabled, recruit the brave, buy guns and cannons, and fight again; If it is lost again, the gun team will disperse.

After Wall finished speaking, he immediately entered Shanghai and asked the British and French ministers for the purchase of guns, and the British and French ministers were gloomy.

Waldau: Your fleet has already set off to the north, if Shanghai is broken and 30,000 bandits pour in, how long can you stop it? My foreign gun team, taking over the periphery of Shanghai, is really a guardian and so on.

The Yi army was defeated in the first battle, and Li Xiucheng consulted the king of heaven and the king of the gods: the people of Yi are not Erer. Re-attack Lu Deshun: The Qing army's capital street garrison Yu and the political heart are attached to the kingdom of heaven, which can be used as an internal response; Brother Lu let go of his hands, attacked Baoshan again, and advanced into Shanghai.

On July 15, Lu Deshun led his troops to dump out of Songjiang and attack Baoshan County. Shunde improvised out of the city, and the city gate was wide open.

Wall saw that he was right, personally led the foreign gun team, attacked Songjiang at night, and broke the city in one fell swoop. Li Hengsong, the deputy general of the Qing army, settled in, and found out that the garrison of Dusi Street was Yu Youzheng and the bandits. Jiangsu Governor Xue Huan secretly arrested Yu Youzheng, but did not trigger it.

Lu Shunde could not attack Baoshan, and when he heard that Songjiang City was lost, he retreated to defend Qingpu. The next day, he went north and captured Jiading.

Wall conquered Songjiang, non-stop, and then attacked Qingpu. Shao Tianyu and Zhou Wenjia were defeated and quickly asked for help.

Songjiang City was lost, Qingpu was in a hurry, Xiucheng did not dare to slack off, and personally led an army of 20,000 to Shanghai.

When Li Xiucheng secretly invited the British missionary Joseph to go out of Shanghai, he had a long time to discuss with him, and Joseph agreed to persuade the British and French envoys to stop the war.

Hong Renji said: They are both brothers in heaven, if they are united, they will take Shanghai; Go up the river, take Wuhan, Jingxiang, and then go east from Sichuan to Shaanxi, and the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven will be accomplished.

Li Xiucheng said: The soldiers of the Kingdom of Heaven are strong and generals, take Shanghai as something in the palm of your hand, and start a war without following what is discussed. If you can't talk about it, you can only fight it. The time limit is half a month, and whether it is peaceful or not, the attack will be carried out.

Hong Renji said: The will of the king of heaven, we are both brothers in heaven, don't kill each other!

Joseph returned to Shanghai to inquire about the British and French envoys in Shanghai.

The British and French ministers both said: It is absolutely impossible to lay down your arms and let others slaughter them. The county seat of Shanghai and the concession were occupied by the Anglo-French forces, and the allied forces hereby warned all the people that the allied forces had the right to respond by force in the event of an armed attack on the Allied garrisons.

Half a month later, there was no news. Xiu Chengqin led a large army and besieged the Huaer Yang Guns.

Wall was defeated, was shot five times, and fled in disarray.

On August 12, Xiucheng conquered Songjiang. On the 18th, Xiucheng defeated the Qing army from all walks of life, and then occupied Sijing Town, Qibao, Hongqiao, and Fahua Town, and the troops came to the city of Shanghai.

Xiucheng was afraid that the Yi people would intervene, so he personally wrote to the ministers of Britain, France, the United States and Russia: The army will attack Shanghai, do not disturb your department, and hang the yellow flag to make identification.

On that day, Xiucheng led a large army to Xujiahui, and the French soldiers retreated without a fight. Xiucheng thought that the people were neutral and overjoyed, so he ordered the siege of the city. As soon as they approached the city wall, the Yi people immediately opened fire, and the British and French warships on the Huangpu River also opened fire on them.

The people turned against him, and Xiucheng had no intention of attacking again, so he retreated stupidly.

After March, Hong Renji signed an entente with the British and French ministers to never attack Shanghai within a year.

He Chun, Zhang Guoliang, Xu Youren died, the south of the Yangtze River was erosive, and Emperor Xianfeng lamented: The Guangdong bandits are chaotic inside, and the people are in trouble outside, and I have supported it for ten years, and I don't want to become today's predicament. Quickly pass on my order, Xue Huan, the governor of Jiangsu, and Wu Xu, the governor of Shanghai, must work together to strangle the thieves and appease the people, and stick to Shanghai; Hangzhou general Ruichang and Zhejiang governor Xu Youren actively prepared for war and tried their best to protect Hangzhou.

Su Shundao: My emperor forgives his sins, allows his servants to speak in vain, and this dynasty has been full of Han for nearly 200 years; There is no need to stick to the rules now, if you want the dynasty to prosper, you must use the Han people. Jiang Zhongyuan, Luo Bingzhang, Luo Zenan, Hu Linyi, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, etc., followed one after another, to protect the land of Hunan and Chu in the Qing Dynasty. It looks like it is long, but it is really for trade and profit; Monk Greenqin has a good way, just like last year, Dagu is not broken, and Beijing and Tianjin are unharmed. Hu Linyi is in Hubei, and the measures are perfect, and they cannot be moved, so it is better to use Zeng Guo to supervise the two rivers, and the upstream and downstream will be successful.

Emperor Xianfeng said: Last year, although Dagukou won, but the war can not be opened, and the British and French people, always have to take the situation as the key, so as not to end the war. Even if Anqing succeeds, and Su often loses, and southern Jiangsu is fully eroded, it is also more difficult to remedy. I immediately allowed Zeng Guofan, the acting governor of Liangjiang, to go to the aid of Su Chang, in order to take into account the overall situation, or if I could not go deep into the rescue, I could also choke the surface of the river and use Du Bei to channel, which is the most important. Zuo Zongtang is familiar with the situation in Hunan, defeats the attack, and has a good schedule; Alternate of the four products of the Kyodo. Should Zuo Zongtang still be ordered to hold regimental training in Hunan, or should he be transferred to the military camp of Zeng Guofan, so that he can do his best in order to gain the effect of people.

Yixin said: Guanwen, Hu Linyi, Zeng Guofan, etc. are all in Anhui, Gao Shilian also said: Kefu Anqing, raise troops to the east, its momentum is smooth; Ke revived the state, back to the upstream, its trend reversed. Those who want to achieve extraordinary achievements must not follow the current view, and those who want to decide the strategy of victory should first judge the form of urgency. Officials, Hu, and Zeng have repeatedly held their own opinions, and they may not be able to help.

Emperor Xianfeng said: If the city of Anqing can be restored in the near future, the governor of the department may wish to Ke Anqing first, go down the river, take advantage of the emptiness of the thieves in Jinling to smash the lair, and send reinforcements and force to attack Suzhou, so that the thieves can not take care of the head and tail, which seems to be more convenient. Can Anqing be restored immediately? Can Jinling be attacked? Zeng Guofan besieged Anqing, so as not to involve the troops, and to fortify the city for a long time, or to try to solve the danger of Su Chang first, and to deal with it properly and appropriately.
