Xunzhou Mansion, Wuxuan County, Guhaoli, Luxin Town. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

Luxin Town is located in the southwest of the county thirty miles, is the only way for Wuxuan to Laibin County, is known as the west gate of Wuxuan, Luxinwei is a famous Daxu near and far, originally a very prosperous place for commerce, but these years the world is not very peaceful, and it has gradually deserted.

Huang Dianyuan rushed to Luxin Town, to see Chen Yagui, who is the number one person in the whole Guangxi, walked into the largest restaurant in the town, ordered wine and food, he was not in a hurry to eat, and put the wine glasses and chopsticks in accordance with the joint method of the Heaven and Earth Society.

Coming to a secluded single courtyard, as soon as he entered the door, a sturdy man in his thirties with a medium stature greeted him and said with a smile: "Brother Outline brought a letter, saying that Huang Dangjia was coming to Xuanwu, but we could ..... the hard work we were looking forward to." ”

Huang Dianyuan arched his hand and said with a smile: "When I entered Guangxi, I heard the name of the Chen family, which can be described as thunderous, and I am fortunate to be lucky." ”

"Compared with the Huang master, we are not worth mentioning." Chen Yagui said, "Huang Dangjia, please——。 ”

The Taiping army rose up in Guiping Jintian, even the battle was victorious, the momentum was like a rainbow, there were not a few people who went to take refuge, but Chen Yagui did not go, although his Guangyi Hall rose late, but the strength expanded rapidly, just over a year, more than 1,000 people gathered under his command, there was no need to look up to people, and later heard that Hong Xiuquan was not tolerant, and he disdained the Taiping army.

However, Huang Dianyuan, a brother of the Heaven and Earth Society from Nanyang, was rich and generous and provided a thousand Western muskets to Luo Outline and the God Worship Society for free, but he heard about it, so Huang Dianyuan who listened to it came to Wuxuan, he was happy that he didn't sleep well for a few nights, Guangxi is now in chaos, and if he has a gun, he is the king of grass, if he can also get the support of the Nanyang Heaven and Earth Society, the strength and power will inevitably expand rapidly, and it will not be inferior to the God Worship Society.

Entering the house and sitting down, Chen Yagui was not polite, and said straightforwardly: "Huang Dangjia came to Wuxuan, but if there is any place that can be used in our Guangyi Hall, although it is ordered, we will never shirk anything that we can do." ”

Seeing him so refreshing, Huang Dianyuan said with a smile: "Since Chen is so refreshing, I won't hide it." After a slight pause, he continued: "I came to Wuxuan this time in the hope that Guangyitang can stir up the situation well, and it is best to be able to fight a dozen county seats." ”

Hearing about the county seat, Chen Yagui's expression froze for a moment, and he groaned slightly, before he said: "Huang Dangjia may not know much about the situation in Guangxi, don't look at our noisy joy, but mostly in the countryside, very few people go to attack the city, everyone knows that hitting the city will attract the officers and soldiers to frantically encircle and suppress, and will be stared at by the officers and soldiers, and will be chased after relentlessly, which is not only harmful to the locality, but also to ourselves." ”

Huang Dianyuan asked in a sullen voice, "Why?" ”

"May the reason be simple." Chen Yagui said: "Local officials have the responsibility of defending the land, the city is their bottom line, if the city falls, they are derelict in their duties, the light one loses the official dismissal, and the heavy one loses his head, so we generally don't fight the city, and the government also turns a blind eye to us. ”

No wonder the Taiping army is always nesting in Jintian, it turns out that there is this reason, Huang Dianyuan groaned for a while, and then said: "But I heard that someone has attacked the county seat, and the guests of Liyuba and Taoba, Wang Yazhuang of Gui County, and ..... of Qianjiang County have all attacked the county seat. ”

"It's true that I've hit the county seat." Chen Yagui said with a smile: "But it's not to occupy the county, enter the county town to loot or extort, and then take the initiative to withdraw, Guangxi's officials will do everything possible to conceal it for their own future, and it will be fine, but if you want to occupy the county seat and erect a flag to rebel, it will be different." ”

No wonder Guangxi is in chaos like this, Huang Dianyuan was speechless for a while, it seems that if you want to lift the lid of Guangxi, let the imperial court notice and attract enough attention, the general small fight is definitely not good, after a little thought, he said: "The Taiping Army won two battles and two victories, and killed more than ten generals of the same size as the deputy general and the general Qian, will the officers and soldiers of Guangxi encircle and suppress?" ”

"Yes, definitely!" Chen Yagui said without thinking: "Hong Xiuquan proclaimed himself Allah of the Taiping, and the congregation is also called the Taiping Army, and killed so many imperial court officials, it is completely different from us, the imperial court will definitely encircle and suppress on a large scale, and we estimate that we will all be implicated." ”

"The city gate caught fire, and the fish in the pond were affected." Huang Dianyuan said in a deep voice: "There are three roads in front of Guangyi Hall, either they will be exterminated by the imperial court, or they will be recruited by the imperial court to fight the Taiping army, or they will be attached to the Taiping army. ”

Chen Yagui smiled slyly, "Huang Dangjia should be able to show us the fourth way, right?" ”

"Yes, indeed." Huang Dianyuan said: "Like the God Worship Society, gather the brothers of the Guangxi Heaven and Earth Society to stand on their own, we can provide the necessary money and weapons to support you, but the premise is that you have to have this ability, and the silver of our Nanyang is not washed by the sea, you must first prove that the Guangyi Hall is worthy of our strong support." ”

Chen Yagui's eyes narrowed slightly, "Capture the city and erect a flag to rebel?" ”

Huang Dianyuan smiled and said, "There's no need, you just need to take a city and stay for a few days and take the initiative to exit." ”

"It's not the same time it used to be." Chen Yagui said: "Now that the worship of God will make such a fuss, the whole Guangxi is staring at our Xunzhou Mansion ....... ”

Huang Dianyuan interrupted him and said, "Cross-border robbery, isn't it your forte? ”

This time, Chen Yagui is really tempted, crossing the border to hit a county, the difficulty is there, but the difficulty is definitely not big, can get the strong support of the Nanyang Heaven and Earth Society, Guangyi Hall can definitely rise quickly, if it can really integrate the Heaven and Earth Society in Guangxi, the momentum is definitely above the God Worship Society.

As he was muttering to himself, a middle-aged man walked in quickly, and it seemed that Huang Dianyuan glanced at it, and said in a loud voice: "Min Zhengfeng led five thousand men and horses to enter Shilong Town, it should be Chong Guiping, but it must go through our Wuxuan, do you want to avoid it?" ”

The person who came was Liu Yawu, the third master, who had always been a big grin, and there were not many people who knew that Huang Dianyuan sent a gun, Chen Yagui didn't dare to introduce him, and even said: "Even if it is Chong Guiping, we don't need to pay attention to it, forgive them and don't dare to provoke us if they have nothing to do, but if you order to go down, just leave a few spies in the city, and others will not be allowed to enter the city recently." ”

"That ......." Liu Yawu hesitated and said, "Do you want to send a message to Jintian?" ”

"People don't take us seriously, why should we stick to other people's cold butts with a hot face." Chen Yagui waved his hand and said, "People are Allah of the Taiping, if it is the Taiping Army, how can we be courteous?" ”

Min Zhengfeng? Guangxi Admiral Min Zhengfeng! Finally, there is a bit of movement, but with 5,000 troops, can you beat the Taiping army? Huang Dianyuan was secretly pondering, Chen Yagui was already cheerful: "We can't be compared to those pretending to be ghosts, isn't it just a city, and when they start a war, let's do it." ”

On the eighth day of the first month of September, Hong Xiuquan officially established the name in Jintian, he himself changed his name to the Heavenly King, named the country Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and took this year as the first year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Xin Kai, announced the accumulation of hair and easy service, and ordered the Quartet.

At the same time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set up 100 officials and divided the five armies into commanders, with Yang Xiuqing as the chief general of the Chinese army, Xiao Chaogui as the chief general of the former army, Feng Yunshan as the chief general of the rear army, Wei Changhui as the chief general of the right army, and Shi Dakai as the chief general of the left army.

Later, he worshiped the military division, worshiped Yang Xiuqing as the left auxiliary army division, Xiao Chaogui as the right Bi and the main army division, Feng Yunshan as the leading deputy military division, and Wei Changhui as the rear guard and deputy military division. Yang Xiuqing, the division of the main army, presided over all military and political affairs, and the military division was subordinate to the six departments of officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers, with twelve members in each department, a total of seventy-two members, who were in charge of state affairs; Twenty-four members of the announcement, the Lord gives orders. The state affairs of the whole country, all directions to the regular army division, by the regular army division Yang Xiuqing issued an edict command.

Then, the Taiping Army was further rectified, and various military regulations and military disciplines were issued, the most striking of which was the separation of men and women - men and women were not to be separated, even husbands and wives had to live in separate camps, and it was forbidden for husbands and wives to have sex together, to date in private, and once discovered, they were punished by beheading.

Originally stranded in Shilong Town, Guangxi Governor Min Zhengfeng, who had no intention of going to Guiping to encircle and suppress, finally couldn't sit still after receiving the news, and urged the troops to go to Guiping to encircle and suppress, although this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was built in a mountain nest and did not occupy the city, but how to say that it is a country, this is not a joke, or a joke!

In September, the whole of Guangxi became a pot of porridge, Guangxi Governor Min Zhengfeng encircled and suppressed the Taiping Army in Guiping, Chen Yagui took the opportunity to send troops to bypass Xiangshan County, Lianke Xiuren and Lipu counties, and the troops approached Guilin, the boat army on the Wujiang River in Xijiang, Zhang Jiaxiang's department in Nanning, Liyuba and Taoba in the guests, Wang Yazhuang in Guixian County, and other armed forces of the Tiandihui in various places moved one after another.

Guilin, Guangxi Governor's Office.

He didn't know why the good situation that had been maintained suddenly changed completely, but he knew that he couldn't indulge anymore, and he couldn't whitewash it anymore, otherwise Guangxi would be chaotic!

Moreover, he also received news that the gentry and merchants of various prefectures and counties in Guangxi were dissatisfied with the laissez-faire of the local Chi Zhi and that they were concealing the truth that Guangxi's public order was chaotic or even out of control, and recommended representatives of several prefectures and counties to go to Beijing by sea from Guangdong to file a complaint against the imperial court.

In addition, next year will be the year of the township examination, and with the current public security situation, the township examination will inevitably be greatly affected.

After thinking about it again and again, he drafted a compromise to report to the Beijing Division, and implored the imperial court to transfer troops to Gui to exterminate the bandits. After writing the excerpt, he read it again and again, hesitated again and again, he knew very well that as soon as this excerpt was sent out, what would be the result waiting for him, demotion would be light, and if it was not good, it would be dismissal.

Slowly put down the fold, he sighed, these years of the Qing Dynasty has not been peaceful, all provinces are full of natural disasters, not to mention the emptiness of the treasury, Daoguang is getting older, and he doesn't like to hear troubles, and Mu Zhang'a, the chief military minister who has a good personal relationship with him, said clearly in a private letter that the state funds are constant, and it is not allowed to use them at every turn.

The reason why he concealed the drought in Guangxi, concealed the banditry in Guangxi, filled the cracks everywhere, whitewashed the peace, and reported the good news but not the bad news, was actually a last resort, and he wanted to whitewash it for a few years and transfer away from this place of right and wrong, but he didn't want things to reach the point of being out of control so quickly.

Just when he was hesitating, Tang Shenghuai, the general of the Fubiao Left Battalion, hurriedly came in and reported: "My lord, Min Junmen Guiping has been defeated. ”

Even Min Zhengfeng was defeated? Zheng Zuchen was shocked, and hurriedly asked, "How about the casualties?" ”

"Lord Hui, there are no casualties among senior military attachés." Tang Shenghuai bowed slightly and said, "However, now that Min Junmen has retreated to Siwang, he doesn't dare to attack rashly. ”

Even Min Zhengfeng was defeated, it seems that this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is really a big trouble, Zheng Zuchen sighed secretly, waved his hand to retreat, and then calmed down and pondered, if it is said that the general bandits, it is still due to the lack of public security, but the nature of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is different, if it is reported truthfully, I am afraid that it will be dismissed! If one is not good, you may also be held accountable.

After pondering for a long time, he picked up his pen and wrote another excerpt, directly impeaching Yi Zhizhi and conniving at Yuanqi for smuggling Western firearms, so that Guangxi would be surrounded by bandits, and the disturbing places would not be peaceful. In addition, the reply of Liu Jizu, the prefect of Xunzhou, to investigate the sale of Western firearms was slightly changed, and he was transcribed and attached to it.

Of course he didn't know that Yuan Qi was behind the ghost, but he knew that no matter whether this matter had anything to do with Yuan Qi or not, attacking Yi Zhizhi and attacking Yuan Qi was his last straw, the reason was very simple, Mu Zhang'a and Yi Zhi's contentment are not compatible, it is already known to the whole world, pouring this basin of dirty water on Yi Zhi's content and Yuan Qi's head, it is not dirty but dirty, which will inevitably make Mu Zhang'a very satisfied, and the other party will inevitably try his best to excuse him.

Guangzhou, Xiguan, Lei Garden, Changle Book House.

After reading the information about Guangxi's chaos like a pot of porridge, Yi Zhizhi casually transferred the information to Bao Shichen, and smiled secretly in his heart, Huang Dianyuan is really a talent, this thing is really beautiful, and now in such a situation, look at how Guangxi officialdom still hides it! As soon as the lid of Guangxi is lifted, it will inevitably attract the attention of the world.

After reading the information, Bao Shichen shook his head and said: "There is no city or a place, so I am in a hurry to call the king Ding, the big shopkeeper is afraid that this time it will be out of sight, this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is afraid that it will be difficult to become a climate, and since ancient times, there has been no religion to achieve things, the Yellow Turban Army, Wudou Mijiao, Taoism, Mingjiao, White Lotus Sect, what kind of religion is this now?" Christian? ”

Yi Zhizhi nodded approvingly, and said: "Sir's eyes are like torches, this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is indeed difficult to achieve, and the loss of that Hong Huoxiu is also a scholar, Zhu Sheng assisted Ming Taizu's nine-character strategy - 'Build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king.'" It's so popular, hasn't he read it?

is so desperate to be called the king, sealed the official, accepted the concubine, and accepted twenty-one concubines in one breath to gather the thirty-six palaces, but the subordinates are separated from men and women, abstinence, how can this become a big thing. ”
