Speaking of Li Guanlong, he was originally the deputy commander of the 4th Division and the deputy executive committee member of the division, but because most of the people in the 4th Division were composed of Qiu Changdao's original subordinates of the Heaven and Earth Congregation, Li Guanlong has never been able to integrate in, but because of this, many other non-Qiu brothers surrounded him, but also formed some forces, that is, the 3,000 brothers he had divided his troops at the beginning.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Li Guanlong arrived in Longyou County. Originally, according to normal development, Li Guanlong, a 10,000-strong soldier, would have fallen into the trap of Qiu Changdao and Jiang Yunkang, the prefect of Quzhou, and would fall into the situation of being attacked on his back. But at this time, things changed, Li Guanlong's new subordinates, there was a person named Zhao Si'er, but he was a person from Wuyuan, knowing that Longyou Zhixian was also a fellow villager and a fellow clan, so he suggested to Li Guanlong to persuade Longyou Zhixian to surrender this distant relative of the same clan.

Li Guanlong naturally readily agreed.

This Zhao Si'er is also very good, and he is really stubborn to persuade Longyou Zhixian County, who is also a fellow villager of Wuyuan and surnamed Zhao, to agree to surrender to the Taiping Holy Kingdom.

Hearing the news, Li Guanlong was overjoyed. However, immediately afterwards, a piece of news shocked him into a cold sweat: Qiu Changdao, the commander of the 4th Division, led nearly 2,000 men under his command and surrendered to the Manchu court. The rest of the officers and men of the 4th Division of B, who died and those who escaped, were almost wiped out, and the entire 4th Division of the B, only his partial division remained.

Fortunately, after learning the news, he did not fall into Qiu Changdao, and at that moment, Li Guanlong immediately ordered to stop advancing and ordered the evacuation of Longyou County. At the same time, troops were sent to ride fast horses around Quzhou and report information to the captive army in the western part of the country.

After that, Li Guanlong organized his county into the 4th Division, led more than 10,000 soldiers, turned the road to the south, and marched towards Suichang, Yiping and the prefecture capital.

At this time, the captive army in the western part of the country also urgently transmitted the news of Qiu Changdao's rebellion to the Holy King Feng Yunshan and the General Staff, Feng Yunshan was furious, and ordered the General Staff to transfer the B 3rd Division, which was about to be sent to Jingdezhen to garrison, and transferred it to Zheqi, led by Lin Qirong, and went to Quzhou.

This Ninth Division is a newly established first-class division of the captive army, which was trained by Feng Yunshan himself, and can be regarded as the ace division of the captive army. The key is that half of the men of the Ninth Division have a foreign gun, and the rest are cold weapons such as knives and spears, and there are also dozens of artillery pieces composed of artillery, which are well-armed, and Feng Yunshan sent them, which shows the determination to break Quzhou City and the hatred of traitors.

On the western front, the 11,500 officers and men of the Second Division of the First Division, under the command of division commander Li Kaifang, had already occupied the two prefectures of Kaihua and Lin'an, and the surrounding small counties had no time to occupy them one by one, so Li Kaifang led his army directly north and marched into Yunanfu. However, the Yunnan Mountain Road is difficult to walk, the plague miasma is everywhere, although Li Kaifang is a rough man, he does not dare to slack off a little, and carefully opens the mountain to build the road, and the marching speed is extremely slow. But even so, from time to time dozens of people are bitten by poisonous snakes and poisonous insects.

Subsequently, in desperation, Li Kaifang ordered all the large heavy artillery to be abandoned, so that the people still transported back to Guangxi, while they only transported some grain, rice and gunpowder, and went into battle lightly, even so, it was still less than ten miles a day.

Finally, in December, he arrived at Yunan Mansion, but at this time he found that Kunming City was as strong as an iron barrel under the original Wu Sangui management, and Li Kaifang did not have large artillery in his hands, so it was difficult to conquer at all. However, Li Kaifang led the Second Division and did not forcibly capture Kunming, but sent troops to occupy Yunnan Mansion and Chuxiong Prefecture and other prefectures and counties around Kunming.

The 6th Division and the 4th Brigade of the B, under the leadership of the division commander Luo Qiongshu, entered Yunnan from Zhen'anfu, Guangxi, and directly entered Guangxi Prefecture.

In mid-December, nearly 16,000 soldiers of the captive army appeared outside Guangxi Prefecture like divine soldiers. There were only more than 1,000 Tusi soldiers in the city of Guangxi Prefecture, and when they saw the army that could not be seen from the head and feet, they were extremely frightened, and the Tusi in the city hurriedly bowed to the ground, claiming that they were willing to lead the soldiers and civilians of Guangxi Prefecture to surrender together.

Also, Tusi like them, no matter who is in charge of the Central Plains style, as long as it does not threaten his rule, no matter who you are, he will surrender.

By the end of December, Luo Qiongshu and others led their troops to Qujing Mansion. Qujing is a big city, the city is high and the walls are thick, and Luo Qiongshu is ready to attack.

Unexpectedly, Wang Jinxiu, the deputy general of the Qujing Association stationed in Qujing, was a person with a heart. His hometown is from Shonan, and he learned from his hometown that the Holy Kingdom carried out land reform in Shonan, which was deeply supported by the people. Moreover, some members of his family have already participated in the captive army, and once the court learns about it, he will be convicted. This kind of life of reminding people has long been reluctant to live more.

This time, tens of thousands of captives attacked, and the defenders in Qujing City had long lost their will to fight, and Wang Jinxiu's generals were even more side-knocking, asking non-stop, people's hearts floated, and Wang Jinxiu knew it in his chest. In addition, he had already intended to surrender to the Taiping Holy Kingdom, and he had been suffering from no way, this time, it happened to be a great opportunity!

Therefore, he secretly summoned his generals to discuss the surrender. After some preparations, all the generals who did not want to surrender were imprisoned, and some Manchus were put under house arrest, and then more than 1,000 Qing troops were disbanded, and he and a group of subordinates led nearly 1,000 cronies to surrender to Luo Qiongshu.

Luo Qiongshu was naturally overjoyed.

Immediately report to the Holy King Feng Yunshan and ask for credit for Wang Jinxiu.

And with Wang Jinxiu, a general who is familiar with the local area of Yunan, the Sixth Division of the First Division has been like a bamboo, successively conquering Dongchuan Mansion, Wuding Prefecture, Chuxiong Mansion and other places, and together with Li Kaifang's Second Division, the entire Kunming City of Yunan Prefecture has been surrounded.

Bao Qibao, the former governor of Yunnan, had been encircling and suppressing the Taiping army in the south of the country, and finally died in the city of Changsha. However, the new Yunan Admiral Hengchun was in Dali City, and for a time, Kunming City was crumbling, and the Qing army asked for help everywhere.

However, at this time, the captive army did not focus on Kunming City, but focused on the major copper mines in Guangxi, Qujing, Chuxiong, Wuding, Dongchuan and other places that they occupied.

Nearly 30,000 soldiers of the captured army did not rush to attack the city of Kunming, but hurriedly took the captured governors of the state capitals and the chief bookkeeper and others, and asked them to lead a cadre of soldiers to go to the deep mountains and old forests to occupy the major copper mines, and began to garrison troops in the mines, mobilize the people to start building roads, and connect the copper mines with the roads between the prefectures, counties and state capitals.

In the city of Kunming, Hengchun, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou, and Wu Zhenqi, the governor of Yunnan, both looked puzzled. I heard that the Cantonese thieves did not immediately attack Kunming City, so they finally breathed a sigh of relief, but why they didn't even besiege the city, and ignored it as if Kunming City did not exist, but only Sichuan occupied the wilderness, which made them very unable to think about it.

In the end, the master gave them an analysis: these Cantonese thieves are not very interested in their Kunming City or even the entire Yunnan, and they are only interested in the copper mines that they only see in the countryside below the state capitals of Yunan.

Then they realized, I see!

Still, even so, they had to be on their guard. Now in Yunnan, the Qing army is weak, so they can only hold Kunming City steadily, waiting for the Qing army in Sichuan and Guizhou to come to help. However, now that the state affairs are erosive and the salaries are lacking, who knows if there will be reinforcements. They are also doing their duty as vassals.
