In the five days after the Taiping Holy Army captured the city of Guilin, they occupied the city of Guilin and the counties and prefectures of Lingui, Yongfu, Yangshuo, Yining, Yongning, and Lingchuan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

On this day, Liu Changyou, who was in charge of organizing the statistics of the personnel, was shocked to find that there were as many as 530,000 taels of silver sent to Guilin City alone. There are more grains such as grain, and some of the granaries of the landlords and old rich families have insects and moldy grains, and they don't know how long they have been old. Even Liu Changyou didn't expect that Guangxi, which has always been barren, would contain so many huge wealth in the countryside, no wonder the people of Li were poor, it turned out that the wealth was concentrated on the gentry and landlords.

With food, it is natural to recruit more holy soldiers. On the 28th day of the eighth month of the lunar calendar, the Taiping Holy Army recruited holy soldiers at the former site of Jingjiang Wangcheng in Guilin City.

In three days, 14,000 holy soldiers were recruited. The young and strong villagers of several counties in Guilin Prefecture enthusiastically went there, and even the villagers of Jingzhou and Liuzhou Prefectures in nearby Hunan Province, heard that the Taiping Holy Army was recruiting troops in Guilin Prefecture, and they also set off to join the army one after another.

Then, Feng Yunshan ordered people to remove the plaque from the Guangxi Gongyuan, the site of recruitment, and ordered Liu Changyou to take the lead in the creation of the Lijiang Academy, preparing to hire scholars who are willing to take refuge in the Holy Kingdom as teachers, and teach talents and cultivate literate people for the Holy Kingdom.

Just as Feng Yunshan was resting for a while in Guilin City, fighting local tyrants and inferior gentry with great fanfare, and happily recruiting troops to grab grain, suddenly an urgent report from the north poured a scoop of cold water on him.

The Qing army broke through the city of Changsha.

In fact, it is not considered that the Qing army has broken through, if Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing insist on resisting, they can hold on for a while longer. But they recognized the situation: trapping Changsha City was a dead end.

Five days ago, Yang Xiuqing led the main force of 30,000 Taiping troops to withdraw from Changsha City on his own initiative, and as in history, attacked Yiyang in the northwest. The Liuyang Tiandi congregation and the soldiers of the Tianwang Yiwang lineage such as Hu Yixuan and Shi Zhenji stayed in Changsha City to block the Qing army from entering the city and buy time for the main force of the Taiping army to retreat, but they were all trapped in the city.

Feng Yunshan understood that this was obviously Yang Xiuqing's forte. The Taiping army wiped out all the rich squires in Changsha, and Changsha was the capital of Hunan Province, so the wealth obtained must have been amazing, so naturally it would take a lot of money and twists and turns to carry it when evacuating, which would require the sacrifice of a part of the troops to delay the time for its break. Yang Xiuqing has always disliked the congregation of heaven and earth, and there is a chance to weaken the party of the Heavenly King and the Wing King, so naturally the Liuyang Tiandi congregation and Hu Yixuan, Shi Zhenji and others will fall into Changsha City.

Even though the trajectory of history became inconsistent with what Feng Yunshan knew after the Taiping army broke through Changsha City, it was slowly pulled back to its original trajectory by the power of the underworld. Now that the Manchu court has recovered Changsha and pursued the Taiping army Yang Xiuqing, they are sure, but now that Feng Yunshan and the Taiping Holy Army are in this variable, they will definitely not pursue the Taiping army that attacked Yueyang with all their might as in history.

Feng Yunshan expected that in addition to sending troops to pursue Yang Xiuqing and them, they would definitely mobilize a large number of Qing troops to encircle and suppress themselves, but they didn't know whether to attack the front line of Chenzhou and Shaozhou first or the side of Yongzhou and Guilin. Feng Yunshan guessed that he should attack Yongzhou and Guilin first, after all, Guilin is a big provincial capital, and its status and influence are not comparable to that of Chenzhou and Shaozhou. All that remains is the question of how much troops are mobilized.

To be able to break through the city of Guilin, there is no need for spies, and the Manchus can also know the strength of the Taiping Holy Army. Without 30,000 or 40,000 elite soldiers, the Manchu Qing Dynasty would not come to touch the mold.

Thinking about it, when he faced himself with more than 30,000 or 40,000 Qing soldiers, Feng Yunshan suddenly felt a lot more pressure. Fortunately, the Qing army's troops on the front line in the south were already relatively small, and they were scattered in all directions, and it would take a long time to mobilize troops of such a scale, and there should be some time.

Taking advantage of this time, the Taiping Holy Army took advantage of the situation to go south, and must take the land of Liangguang as existing in a short time, so that there is room for strategic detours, and there are enough soldiers and financial resources to confront the Manchus. Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan's eyes became firm, he couldn't stay in Guilin anymore to rest, he had to rush to occupy Liangguang before the Qing army organized a counterattack.

There are also a group of captured Manchu officials in Guilin City, just as Hu Yixuan, Shi Zhenji and others fell into the hands of the Manchus, Feng Yunshan thought of sending people to exchange prisoners of war with the Manchus, even if it didn't work, he could paralyze and delay the Manchus one or two, so that they thought that they were still a part of the Taiping army, and maybe the spearhead would focus on the "thief leaders" Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing who went north. By the way, Feng Yunshan expected that Yang Xiuqing would not send someone to rescue him, just disgusting him, so that the old brothers of the Taiping Army had a gap in his heart.

After making up his mind, Feng Yunshan ordered people to escort Lao Chongguang, the governor of Guangxi, who had suffered a stroke, and Li Xian, the prefect of Pingle Prefecture, to Yongzhou Fucheng, and asked Peng Yulin to send a fast boat to contact the Qing army in Hengzhou Fucheng and exchange prisoners of war by name. Feng Yunshan knew that with the cold nature of the Manchu Emperor and the Huguang officials who wanted to be promoted and made a fortune, it was impossible for them to really exchange prisoners of war with him, but he was also a gesture.

On the one hand, Feng Yunshan hurriedly ordered Luo Xuan and Chen Yucheng, who were resting in Shaozhou, to lead the holy soldiers south along the Beijiang River, enter Yingde and Qingyuan, and force the city of Guangzhou. At the same time, he ordered Lin Fengxiang, who was in the Yangshan area of Hexian County, to lead his troops to march into Wuzhou Mansion, preparing to seize the benefits of the Xijiang River, and then besiege Zhaoqing Mansion and Guangzhou City along the river.

And he himself led 15,000 holy soldiers down the Guijiang River, capturing Yong'an and Zhaoping along the line, until Wuzhou and Lin Fengxiang's troops converged.

Li Kaifang and Luo Qiongshu led 10,000 holy soldiers to attack Liuzhou Mansion, and attacked Nanning Mansion along Wuxuan and Xunzhou Mansions. It's just that his troops are relatively small, and Feng Yunshan ordered Bai Huihuai, the guard of the Imperial Forest, to go to Guixian County with a small amount of work, and Huang Dingfeng had been sent out before contacting.

Previously, Feng Yunshan sent Huang Dingfeng and Wu Ruxiao to Guangxi to contact the Heaven and Earth Congregation to prepare for the Taiping Holy Army. I thought that it would be a year later to march into Guangxi, but now the situation has changed rapidly, and we must immediately capture Liangguang. Because the time was too short, Huang Dingfeng had not contacted him, and Feng Yunshan guessed that he had not started yet. Therefore, Feng Yunshan didn't have much hope, he just wanted to find out the information through Huang Dingfeng and understand the movements of the Qing army.

As for Wu Ruxiao, he can't count on it. Originally, because he had a friendship with Ling 18, Feng Yunshan sent him to contact and persuade Ling 18 to lead his troops to defect to him, but he didn't expect that more than a month ago, Feng Yunshan received the news that Ling 18's righteous army was wiped out by Xu Guangjin, the then governor of Liangguang. Wu Ruxiao has also been out of touch.

However, it is impossible to attack the two broads without relying on the party forces of the two broads. Now in the Taiping Holy Army, in fact, the main strength is all from the Hui Party, and Feng Yunshan is naturally impossible to ignore.

Feng Yunshan remembered that during this period of history, the party uprisings in the Liangguang area were frequent.

In April of the second year of Xianfeng, the Wu Lingyun brothers of the Zhuang nationality in western Guizhou rebelled in Xinning Prefecture.

In June of the second year of Xianfeng, Li Wencai, a native of Shangnan in Yongchun County, Nanning Prefecture, rebelled with a flag in Pinglang.

In August of the second year of Xianfeng, an uprising led by Zhu Hongying and Hu Youlu broke out in Nanning Prefecture, and this rebel army grew rapidly from thousands of people to 30,000 or 40,000 people, with red scarves on their heads, and was called the Red Turban Army at the time. Historically, they later moved from Nanning to the border of Guangxi and Hunan, conquered Yongming County, Yongzhou, Jiahe, Lanshan, Linwu, Ningyuan and other counties in southern Hunan, and established the "Shengping Heavenly Kingdom" in Guanyang, Zhu Hongying was called the king of Zhennan, and Hu Youlu was called the king of Dingnan. However, it has just started not long ago, and it should still be near Nanning Mansion.

The most sensational was the uprising of Chen Kai and Li Wenmao, the leaders of the Guangdong Tiandi Society. After besieging the city of Guangzhou for more than half a year, if it were not for the lack of organization and military training, and the help of the Manchu government from the West, the city of Guangzhou would have almost been breached.

As long as he makes good use of and encompasses these parties, and contacts them to suddenly act together while he is marching on his own, it will be much easier to capture Liangguang, and he can even quickly disintegrate the defensive arrangements of the Qing army. If it can be contained, it will greatly strengthen the strength of the Holy Army.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan personally repaired a few letters, in the name of the Holy King of the Taiping Holy Kingdom, canonized some of the other party's nominal official positions, such as "Zhennan General" and the like first enveloped the other party, and then politely but with anti-Qing righteousness to trap the other party, and agreed to raise troops within a month at the same time, and cooperate with the Taiping Holy Army to capture Guangxi.

Now that the Taiping Holy Army has conquered Guilin, the momentum is immense, and there is a move to divide the land, and those Heaven and Earth will inevitably respond!
