Jiang Zhongyuan took Zhang Fu, the governor of Jiangxi, all the way to the north, passing through Jianchang and De'an, and met some remaining Taiping troops, knowing that Nankang Mansion had been occupied by the Taiping army, he did not dare to stay, and hurriedly detoured to continue northward and came to Jiujiang Fucheng. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Jiujiang is a big city, with the Yangtze River, plus 2,000 sailors led by Chu Ruhang and dozens of fir warships, and more than 4,000 Qing army green battalions in Jiujiang City, which finally made Zhang Fu feel at ease.

However, it was only a little more reassuring, he was still worried that the Yue thieves would continue to attack north, and he could only flee to Hubei, which would be out of the territory of Xixi, and he was the governor of Xixi.

However, Nanchang City was lost, and he couldn't escape this crime of losing his land. Unless Nanchang City is recovered, how is that possible?

In the land of the two rivers, many parts of Jiangnan Province and Chixi Province have been occupied by the rebels. Now that is, there is no slight force in southern Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the rest, after the attack of the Taiping army, has been thinned out of troops, and when they hear the news of the rebels, they are afraid that they will be panicked, not to mention taking the initiative to conquer the rebels, it is very good to be able to barely resist.

A few days later, before the Qing court issued an order to investigate and punish Zhang Fu and Jiang Zhongyuan, the Taiping army Zeng Tianyang and Tang Zhengcai led 12,000 people who withdrew from Nanchang City, and after the rest of Nankang Mansion, they arrived outside Jiujiang City and began to capture Jiujiang.

Tang Zhengcai led 5,000 sailors and a large number of ships, and soon defeated Chu Ruhang's 2,000 sailors. Seeing that Jiujiang could not be defended, Chu Ruhang led the remaining more than 1,000 Xiangyong sailors to escort Taqibu and fled back to Wuchang directly along the Yangtze River.

As soon as the sailor left, Jiujiang's natural danger was gone, and Jiujiang was soon broken by the fierce Zeng Tianyang and his troops.

Jiang Zhongyuan took Zhang Fu, the governor of Jiangxi, and led the only remaining more than 2,000 Chu Yong, passed through Ruichang, and fled to Xingguo. At this time, the Qing court's decree arrived, and Zhang Fu was once again dismissed from the post of governor of Jiangxi, and sent to Beijing to punish the crime; Jiang Zhongyuan, on the other hand, was dismissed from his post and urged to rush to Luzhou City, the provisional provincial capital of Anman, to garrison him.

On the one hand, Jiang Zhongyuan has always known how to fight and is very appreciated by Xianfeng, and on the other hand, because the situation in Luzhou is too grim.

Hu Yihuang and Zhang Zipeng, who were originally stationed in Anqing, only left Zhang Zipeng to lead 2,000 people to defend Anqing, and Hu Yihuang led 5,000 Taiping troops all the way north, connecting Tongcheng and Shucheng, and approaching Luzhou.

Therefore, Xianfeng gently let Jiang Zhongyuan go and urgently sent him to lead his troops to Luzhou to defend.

And Wei Changhui, the king of the north, personally led 8,000 troops, plus Guozong Shi Xiangzhen and Wei Jun each led 5,000 Taiping troops to Anqing, Wei Changhui left 8,000 Taiping troops to supplement Anqing's city defense, and he personally guarded Anqing City. Sent Shi Xiangzhen and Wei Jun to lead 10,000 Taiping troops to continue along the west of the Jiangxi and came to Jiujiang with great momentum.

Knowing the news that Jiujiang had been conquered by Zeng Tianyang, Wei Changhui was overjoyed, and while thinking about Tianjing to report the good news, he transferred Zeng Tianyang to lead 5,000 people back to Anqing, preparing to cooperate with Hu Yihuang to attack Luzhou and other places in northern Anhui.

Wei Changhui sent Zhang Zipeng to guard Jiujiang, and ordered Shi Xiangzhen, Wei Jun, and Tang Zhengcai to lead more than 14,000 Taiping troops to continue westward and attack Wuchang.

And when the Taiping army was in full swing to attack the Qing army, the captive army was not idle.

The 3rd Division and the 7th Division of the First Division captured Nanchang City, taking advantage of the great defeat of the Qing army and the withdrawal of the Taiping army, they sent troops everywhere and seized Jing'an, Fengxin, Yining, Xinjian, and Jinxian in Nanchang Prefecture, and Anyi, Jianchang and other prefectures and counties in Nankang Prefecture.

Then, Peng Yulin led the Seventh Division to stay in the area of Nanchang Mansion. Chen Yucheng led the Third Division to the east, attacking the Raozhou Mansion specially assigned by the Holy King Feng Yunshan, Jingdezhen, Leping and Dexing County in Fuliang County.

At the same time, Peng Yulin sent an urgent report to Guangzhou, informing the Holy King of the good news of the capture of various places, and at the same time, requesting the Holy King to send officials and soldiers to garrison the place.

Feng Yunshan received the news of great joy and specially wrote a letter to encourage Peng Yulin and Chen Yucheng to commend the soldiers of the Third Division and the Seventh Division. At the same time, there is no shortage of local officials to frustrate.

The soldiers stationed in the garrison were barely enough, and Feng Yunshan asked the General Staff of the Capture Army to send three local garrison units, the 18th Brigade, the 19th Brigade, and the 20th Brigade, to Nanchang Mansion in the west of the country, to find the passes of Zhou County and towns, and fortify them everywhere.

At the same time, Feng Yunshan also ordered 2,000 Dresser M1841 needle fire muskets and 20 30-pound framed front-loading smoothbore guns to be transported to Nanchang by the Liangguang Ocean Company and distributed half to the 3rd and 7th Divisions.

Feng Yunshan remembered something again, and after thinking about it carefully, he still wrote a secret letter and sent someone to send it to Peng Yulin in Nanchang City.

A few days later, Peng Yulin received a secret letter from Feng Yunshan and hurriedly managed to contact the Taiping army occupying Nankang and Jiujiang Mansions. Peng Yulin personally rushed to De'an, the junction of Nankang Mansion and Jiujiang, to meet and talk with Zhang Zipeng, the general of Jiujiang, and informally agreed on the boundary between the two armies, that is, to take the actual occupied area and Poyang Lake as the boundary, and not to invade each other.

At the same time, Peng Yulin promised to ask the captive army not to get involved in Mubei, Anman and other places, so that Wei Changhui, who was far away in Anqing, felt a lot at ease. Only then did Zhang Zipeng of Jiujiang be instructed to verbally agree.

Although the two sides did not draft an agreement, they both agreed in the name of the Father, and naturally there was a certain weight.

Since then, the Taiping army has actually occupied only a few counties in Jiujiang Prefecture and Nankang Prefecture in the west of the country, and even some parts of Raozhou Prefecture that were originally occupied were given up early by Zeng Tianyang and given up.

Then, the vanguard of the 3rd Division, Shi Huanzhi, led more than 1,000 soldiers of the 1st Regiment to bypass the capital city of Raozhou and rush straight to Jingdezhen, preparing to occupy Jingdezhen on the edge of the Changjiang River first.

However, at this time, the porcelain industry in Jingdezhen, although it has begun to decline, is still the world's largest porcelain capital, there are more than 200 gang organizations, in the head of a group of officials and businessmen and the instigation of the tooth industry, even organized more than 5,000 porcelain workers to intercept, obstructing Shi Huanzhi and other more than 1,000 soldiers to enter Jingdezhen.

Shi Huanzhi was originally born as a squire, how could he not understand the faces of these people, they are all bullies and afraid of the hard. He was ruthless, and at the sound of an order, more than 1,000 soldiers of the captive army pointed their foreign guns at 5,000 hired men, and ordered everyone to disperse and make way in and out of the town.

Several gang leaders invited by the Qing court incited everyone in the crowd and rushed forward to ask for the army, but they were ordered by the sharp-eyed Shi Huanzhi to climb on the roof of the house with a few shots and shoot them all by sniping and shooting. Suddenly, the 5,000 hired laborers were not instigated, and they retreated.

Shi Huanzhi sent people to shoot several leaders of the gang organization at the front of the line, and suddenly, the hired workers dispersed in a hurry. The officers and men of the first regiment entered Jingdezhen smoothly.

Shi Huanzhi led his troops to occupy the Qing Imperial Kiln Factory in Jingdezhen, set up the Imperial Kiln Factory as a camp for the captive army, and declared Jingdezhen to be the jurisdiction of the Taiping Holy Kingdom. At the same time, the military scribes and instructors at all levels, and medical guards were sent to the streets to preach the policies of the Holy Country, and to diagnose and treat various physical problems of porcelain hired workers free of charge.

At this time, Chen Yucheng, who captured the capital of Raozhou, led the Third Division to Jingdezhen, and after a short rest, he continued to face west, passing through the border of Wuyuan County in Anyuan, and came to Dexing County, the capital of copper mines, ----.

Chen Yucheng had no interest in Dexing County, and directly sent troops to capture a group of squires in the city and carefully interrogate the nearby mining situation. Soon, several squires competed to show their merits and led the captive army straight to a mine thirty miles northeast of the county seat, located at the foot of Peacock Mountain in the Huaiyu Mountains.

Judging from the location of the minerals, Chen Yucheng is very sure that the minerals here are the extraordinarily large copper mines that the Holy King has given the instructions for, and must be found and occupied.

At the moment, Chen Yucheng directly left two main regiments to garrison the perimeter of the copper mine, and strictly guarded the area around the copper mine for more than 30 miles.

After completing the task assigned by the Holy King, Chen Yuchang breathed a sigh of relief. His biggest concern was that the copper mine would not be found or would be occupied by the Taiping army first.

Then, Chen Yucheng led the remaining four regiments to attack Guangxin Province in the southeast, preparing to take all the surrounding areas, leaving strategic space for the development of copper mines here. (To be continued.) )
