The New Second Town of the Taiping Army was ordered to attack Xingguofu in the northeast of Ganzhou. [Love ↑ Go △ Xiao ↓ Say △ Net WwW.AiQu] The town general Zhu Qinglai personally led a brigade of soldiers to break the five wooden cities set up by Kang Qingquan, the defender of Qingxingguo, and captured more than a thousand Qing soldiers. At noon on the 24th, the Taiping army entered five or six li away from Xingguo City. The next day, the Taiping army began to siege the city. At that time, the torrential rain upstream caused the river to swell, and it was impossible to cross the city. Zhu Qinglai ordered digging piles on the dry road outside the west and north gates and the south gate to prevent the Qing army from breaking through.

After successive defeats, and lost contact with Nanchang and Ji'an, the Qing army was unstable. The Taiping army besieged the city for only two days, and then the Qing army disintegrated and fled across the river at the east gate day and night. The Taiping army occupied Xingguo City, and Zhang Tianwen, the prefect of Qing Xingguo, bound himself and surrendered. Zhu Qinglai ordered Zhang Tianwen to still be the prefect of Xingguo, and ordered to publish a list to calm the people, leaving hundreds of troops in the town, and the rest of the troops followed the Qing army and launched an offensive in the direction of Ningdu.

The Qing army who was defeated and fled was a guest army from the north, and had no concept of local land. On the way to escape, they even wanted to harm the people. At this time, the Ming and Qing Dynasties were in conflict, and the world was not at peace. People with a little wealth would bury their gold and silver treasures and take them out when the world was at peace. Some local people saw the Qing army coming, they did not think the Qing army was defeated and fled. Intimidated by the prestige of the Qing army in the past, they offered food. The money man is roasted on the fire, and if the bitter master refuses to hand over the hidden money, he will be roasted alive. Some obese people are often left with fat after death, which is extremely disgusting and tragic.

In addition to beating and demanding money, the Qing army even kidnapped women, and all the beautiful women in the common people's homes were taken captive, or taken to remote places for humiliation, or to make fun in the face of their father and brother. When the Qing army was defeated and fled for their lives, they grabbed a boat, so they simply tied the grabbed woman to the boat, and they messed around on the boat day and night. If these robbed women wept a little, they would have their heads cut off immediately.

The actions of the Qing army's defeat and evil aroused the anger and dissatisfaction of the people of Xingguo and Ningdu. Tens of thousands of people in the two places spontaneously cut their braids, or besieged the county government, or guided the Taiping army, or killed the Qing army on the road, or provided the Taiping army. The intelligence made the advance of the new two towns very fast, and in a few days they went down to six county towns.

The atrocities of the Qing army in Xingguo and Ningdu were heard by Zhou Shixiang, who was commanding the attack on Ji'an City. Zhu Qinglai, who was in charge of raiding Xingguo, Ningdu, Guangchang and other places, received the warrant, and immediately ordered the more than 600 Qing troops who had been surrendered and captured to be killed. Refund, this move is very popular.

.........

Yongning County belongs to Ji'an Prefecture. Due to the order of the Admiral's office, 400 soldiers from the Green Battalion, originally stationed in the county seat, were moved to the city to help defend against southern Guangdong bandits. The defense of the city was filled by the county magistrate Guanyongchaozheng recruiting young villagers, and the specific defense of the city was in charge of the general washing Qianjun.

On this day, the county magistrate held a banquet in the county court to invite the big gentry in the city to discuss raising grain and salaries, but a guard of the city bravely came to report, saying that a large group of battalion soldiers from Yongxin County had come, and they were making a noise. into town.

To the east of Yongning is Yongxin. How did Yongqin's soldiers come to Yongning? Is Yongxin lost?

The magistrates of the county and the washing hands were always surprised, and the big gentry in the county were all discolored. Everyone knew that the matter was of great importance, and immediately surrounded the magistrate to look at the head of the city to see if it was really the defeated soldiers from Yongxin from the east.

After everyone went to the city, Guo saw that there were two or three hundred Green Battalion soldiers under the city making a noise. These soldiers were in tattered clothes, and many soldiers were still wearing bandages, apparently injured, and most of the soldiers had no weapons in their hands. Seeing that the defenders in the city did not open the city gates, these battalions were furious and scolded their fathers and mothers unbearably.

Hearing these battalion soldiers scolding badly, the gentry couldn't help frowning, but Guan Zhixian didn't care about it, he stretched out his head and asked loudly, "Where are you from?"

"Yongxin!"

Really Yongxin's soldiers?

Guan Zhixian felt a sudden shock, looked at it carefully, and asked again, "Where is Mr. Yang Qian?"

The Yang Qianzong mentioned by Guan Yongchao was Yang Xiaozhong, the nephew of Ji'an general soldier Yang Wenyuan. In the light of his commander-in-chief uncle, Yang Xiaozhong took up the post of Qian Commander at a young age. When Guan Yongchao went to Fucheng on business in March, he had a drink with Lu Zhifu, and Yang Xiaozhong was there at the banquet. Although Yang Xiaozhong was a military officer, he was quite elegant, very good at reading, and respected scholars. Every year, he supported students from poor families in the county to go to school, so he was well received by the gentry and the common people. Guan Zhixian and Yang Xiaozhong had several friendships, and when he heard that the soldiers of Yongxin were under the city, he naturally wanted to ask Yang Xiaozhong's whereabouts.

Hearing the shouts from the city, the next commander from the city stepped out of the crowd, raised his neck and shouted: "The city's gang, the Taiping bandits have entered Yongxin City, Yang Qian told the bandits to kill them, and the bandits blocked their way to Ji'an. We have nowhere to run, so we retreated to you, Yongning... You should open the city gate and let me wait in, otherwise the Taiping bandits will come and no one will help you defend the city, so they can chase after you. , it won't take long for you to call me!"

Taiping Kouben Yongning is here? !

Guan Zhixian and all the gentry were shocked, and two timid gentry were so frightened that their legs went weak and they almost fell to the ground. [Love ↑ go to △ Xiao ↓ talk △ WEB WwW.AiQu] The soldiers in the city, Ding Qingzhuang, all changed their color when they heard it, and the general's cheeks shook violently.

The county magistrate was in a panic. There were not many garrison troops in the county. A few days ago, the commander-in-chief dispatched most of them with a single order. Now there are more than 200 soldiers. There were not many people in the city. He burned incense every day and hoped that the Buddha would bless him. Taiping bandits all went to Fucheng and provincial capital. Don't worry about his small place. Never thought that the Buddha would not bless him, and the Taiping bandit who killed him still came. He was very flustered, but Guan Zhixian still tried to cheer up and stabilize his mind, and asked the general: "How many people have Taiping bandits come here?"

"Who knows, I'm waiting for the patronage to escape, who would dare to turn around and inquire... But I guess there are thousands of people." The manager looked impatient.

Not less than a thousand people?

Guan Zhixian's face was extremely ugly. If there were not many Taiping bandits coming, he would mobilize the whole city to guard together, and he would always be able to survive. But this time there will be no less than a thousand people, and I am afraid that this number of people in the city can't stand it.

That boss ran for his life all the way, and his throat was smoking long ago. Seeing that the city was patronizing and asking questions, and he didn't open the door to let them in, he couldn't help but get anxious, and shouted: "What are you waiting for, let us enter the city quickly, If the Taiping bandits come over, I can still help defend the city."

Hearing this, a gentry immediately shook his head, "Your Majesty, you can't let them in, you can't trust this defeated soldier!"

After hearing this, the others all agreed, and they did not agree to let these Yongxin defeated soldiers enter the city, because they were worried that the defeated soldiers would loot and cause chaos when they entered the city, and the consequences would be no worse than that of the Taiping bandits. . These days, as long as it is not a native soldier, it is unbelievable. President Xi Qianjun had no idea, he looked at Guan Zhixian and listened to his decision.

Guan Zhixian was very hesitant and pondered there. Seeing that there was no response from the city, the new soldiers outside the city were also anxious, and they kept shouting and urging. The young soldiers guarding the city would not dare to open the city without the order of the magistrate.

After pondering for a long time, Guan Zhixian made up his mind, gritted his teeth and instructed the general manager, "Open the door and let them in."

President Xi Qian hesitated for a moment and said, "Aren't the county magistrates afraid that these defeated troops will cause chaos?"

Guan Zhixian shook his head and said, "They are exhausted and scarred. How can they be chaotic? Besides, they are all officers and soldiers of the imperial court. As an official of the imperial court, how can I refuse them from the door." If you don't let these soldiers in, if someone is called to the governor's yamen, you will not be able to eat and leave.

When all the gentry saw that the county magistrate had made a decision, they did not dare to object. So President Xiqian ordered people to open the city gate, and two or three hundred Yongxin defeated soldiers outside the city immediately rushed into the city excitedly as if they had seen a savior. Fortunately, these defeated soldiers were very honest after entering the city, and the chaos and looting that the gentry feared did not happen. The county magistrate asked President Xiba to place these defeated soldiers in the barracks. After less than half an hour, the sound of horses’ hooves could be heard far outside the city, and dust was swept up in the air.

The number of Taiping bandits who came was really large, there were hundreds of light cavalry, and the rest were all foot soldiers. These Taiping pirates did not immediately start sieging the city after they landed on the city, but shot several letters of persuasion into the city. Chinese military officials and their entire families were all killed.

A group of gentry were terrified, and some people persuaded Guan Zhixian to surrender in Kaicheng, but Guan Zhixian gritted his teeth and would rather die than surrender the thieves. The leader of the army, General Xiqianjun, received many benefits from the county magistrate on weekdays, and since his whole family was in Ji'an, he did not dare to surrender. He was afraid that if he surrendered, his whole family would be killed by the Qing army.

In order to stabilize the hearts of the people, and at the same time to inspire the young and strong people to be brave, the county magistrate opened a warehouse, took out all the taxes and silver that had just been collected in the county, plus some money raised by the big gentry, and distributed ten to each soldier. Two silvers are rewarded, Qingzhuang is three twos per person, and he kills pigs and prepares wine. He also leads the county magistrate and the master to visit the door. After some actions, the people in the city are a little calm, and the situation can still make a difference. .

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden change in the city. Dozens of people set fires everywhere in the city, and the fire was soaring to the sky in an instant. In a short time, the Yongxin battalion soldiers who were put into the city during the day rushed to the city gate to seize the city. They killed the Yongning soldiers and Qingzhuang who were guarding the city, and stepped on their bodies to open the city gate. They will wait outside the city as early as possible. Hou's Taiping bandits were placed in the city.

When the accident happened, the county magistrate was discussing with the county magistrate Lin Yuankang, the general secretary Qianjun and others about the city defense tomorrow. After reporting that the Yongxin soldiers who had been brought in had actually served as the inner responders to the Taiping bandits, the county magistrate regretted his bowels. But the matter had come to an end, and he could do nothing but die to repay the king.

In desperation, the county magistrate went to the back hall to find his wife and prepared to hang himself for the country, but the county magistrate Lin Yuankang and the president of the county took people to organize soldiers Ding Qingzhuang to fight the Taiping army.

"Long-haired bandit, I fought with you!"

Lin Yuankang, the prime minister of Yongxin County, who was powerless to tie the chicken to death, bravely swung a long sword and rushed to the Taiping army with his old servant.

"Am I not as good as a weak scholar!"

The general washing Qianjun was moved by Lin Yuankang's loyalty and righteousness, and he took his own soldiers to fight with the Taiping army. However, although they were heroic, they were outnumbered after all. In addition, the Taiping army had already spread throughout the city. The so-called general situation was over, and how could they be able to turn the tide. In just a moment of effort~www.NovelMTL.com~ the general and the personal soldiers under his command were all chopped into meat sauce by the Taiping Army.

Lin Yuankang still had several knives in his body to fight the Taiping army desperately. Although he tried his best to slash the Taiping army with his sword, he could not injure one person. hacked. Guan Zhixian did not die, in the final analysis he was still afraid of death. The moment the rope was wrapped around his neck, his heart softened, so he was **** by the Taiping Army and sent to meet their general.

The leader of the Taiping Army did not enter the city, but was at the city gate. When Guan Zhixian was escorted to the city gate, he found that the gang of Yongxin defeated soldiers he had put in during the day were all there, as well as the general who deceived him.

That one was not asking for credit for himself in front of the Taiping army general, but grabbing the braid on the back of his head and shouting to his subordinates: "What braids do you have for a good man!" Then he took the dagger and cut it fiercely Get rid of your own braids, and your subordinates will follow suit. Everyone yells and cuts off the money braids at the back of their heads.

The commander of the Taiping Army saw Guan Zhixian who was being escorted over, and asked his subordinate who this person was. When he found out that he was the governor of Yongning, the commander waved his hand impatiently and said to his subordinate: "If you say it in the daytime, you won't surrender. Killing his whole family, why did you bring people here?"
