Shi Da opened the clairvoyant mirror in his hand, and said with an exclamation on his face: "Holy King, in this battle, my captives can easily capture the Qing Demon's fort, which will open Da's eyes!" ”

He was really touched. At www.biquge.info the beginning, he saw thousands of warships of the Taiping Army's naval division attacking the Mouse Gorge Pass set up by Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the Mouse Gorge on the border of Guangji County, in the north of the country. However, their Taiping army and naval division of 20,000 or 30,000 people attacked for two days and one night, killed 4,000 or 5,000 people in battle, and lost more than 600 warships before they captured the Mouse Gorge Pass.

Now that I think about it, if there were more than a dozen such Western-style warships at that time, and nearly 100 such powerful cannons were concentrated, I am afraid that it would not take two hours to take that pass.

"Holy King, originally you said how powerful the foreigners, especially the Yingyi people, Da Kai didn't feel much, but now seeing the power of these warships, Da Kai was deeply uneasy. If the foreigners really had hundreds of such warships and thousands of such cannons attacking, the Holy Kingdom would really not be able to resist it. Shi Dakai voiced his concerns.

Zuo Zongtang next to him also sighed: "Yes, Holy King! Zong Tang can be regarded as an eye-opener! Unexpectedly, Zong Tang always thought that foreigners who only knew strange skills and tricks were so far ahead of our China, these Western warships, one is afraid that one can be worth ten ordinary wooden sailing warships, and those artillery, beyond Zuo's imagination, can shoot four or five miles away, which is really amazing. ”

Then, Zuo Zongtang also expressed concern: "However, from what the Holy King said, that Yingyi and other Western countries can have warships of this scale, and can occupy India, Nanyang and Hong Kong Island and other places thousands of miles away, it is indeed very powerful, and the Holy Kingdom is not capable of being defeated." Now that our Holy Kingdom has fought against them several times, and even recovered the Yingyi Concession and captured their warships, according to your Holy King, it may be that they are temporarily unable to separate themselves and cannot send troops, once they end the war on the European side, I am afraid that they will send a fleet to retaliate, and our Holy Kingdom should prepare as soon as possible! ”

Feng Yunshan nodded, he deliberately brought Zuo Zongtang and the others here, and this was the purpose. Now that he saw that the righteous kings Shi Dakai and Zuo Zongtang were deeply touched, realizing the strength of Western warships, and worrying about the strength of Britain and other Western countries, Feng Yunshan felt that he had achieved his goal.

"It is precisely because of this that this king feels that defeating the Qing demon as soon as possible can have a chance for the rise of my Chinese Han people. Otherwise, if our China is still in the hands of the Qing Demon Tartars, or if the south is in our holy country and the north is in the hands of the Qing Demons, I am afraid that it will affect the situation of the entire China and be unable to face the invasion and occupation of the Western powers. Feng Yunshan sighed.

He who knows the original direction of history is the most worried one. Especially a neighboring island country, although it is not yet vigilant, it will not be long before the so-called ZTE will be launched, and for the enemy of this century, Feng Yunshan now, naturally will not give it a chance again!

Feng Yunshan and the others only waited for the high tide in the evening and rushed to Tianjin Fucheng on the warship "Annihilation".

For this battle plan, following the march route of the Second Opium War in later history, Feng Yunshan mobilized more than 40,000 soldiers from the four land divisions of the 1st Division, the 8th Division, the 9th Division, and the 1st Division, and nearly 30,000 soldiers from the 15th Division, most of the 10th Division, and the 5th Division, accounting for almost half of the strength of the Holy Kingdom.

Feng Yunshan had reason to believe that under the attack of the soldiers of his powerful Holy Country, it would be difficult for the Qing army to resist, and it would be difficult for Tianjin to hold for long.

At the mouth of Dagu here, the 5th Division A and the 5th Division B were in the Zhigu River, followed by the land division of the capture army on the bank of the river, advancing in unison and advancing westward. After the 10th Division sailed 11 warships and more than 20 warships, in the middle was a logistics unit led by Zhou Shengfu to transport heavy loads, and together with the shipwrights of the Liangguang Ocean Company, led some local garrisons to assist in transporting war materials.

40,000 soldiers of the army division, 30,000 officers and men of the navy division, nearly 200 warships and warships, and more than 300 baggage boats marched up the Zhigu River in a mighty way.

……

On the north bank of the Zhigu River, about 60 miles away from Tianjin City, there is a river port town, called Military Grain Town, because its location is also 50 or 60 miles away from the mouth of Dagukou, it is just on the bank of the river between the mouth of Dagu and Tianjin City, since ancient times, it has become the place where soldiers of Tianjin Mansion must fight, and it is also the earliest river port of Tianjin Prefecture.

The Military Commissariat City is actually a small town made up of four or five villages.

At this moment, in the largest village called Yangtai Village, the courtyard of a large family is brightly lit. Hundreds of Qing soldiers were stationed in the courtyard, and in the middle room of the north wing, Baoheng, the commander of Zhili, Shi Rongchun, the chief soldier of Daming Town, Lan Li, the chief soldier of Tianjin Town, and Leshan, the chief soldier of Hebei Town, were sitting together and discussing the military situation all night.

"Junmen, Lord Zhangtai ordered overnight yesterday, urging us and other supervisors to urgently rush to Dagu, Tanggu and Beitang to garrison, especially the Dagukou Fort, and even let me wait for 3,000 people to be deployed, plus more than 1,600 guards from the existing Dagu Association in the town of Dagu, wouldn't it be that Dagukou should be deployed with nearly 5,000 people?" Lan Li, the chief soldier of Tianjin Town, asked with some curiosity: "What happened, why didn't you listen to the movement all the time, and suddenly it was so urgent?" ”

"Yes, Junmen, we are waiting for this to be stationed in our own jurisdiction, and this time we suddenly ordered to mobilize horsemen and rush to Beitang to garrison. I can't wait. I also hope that the military gate will reveal one or two, so that the subordinate officials also have a bottom in their hearts. Shi Rongchun, the chief soldier of Daimyo Town, also felt the same way, and asked suspiciously.

Zhili Admiral Bao Heng is a fifty-year-old Qing general, with a rough personality, frowning and saying: "This governor is not very clear. I heard that it was an edict issued by the emperor himself, so I asked me to hurry to the mouth of the Zhigu River to set up defenses, and beware of the thieves in the south to take the sea route and land from the mouth of the Zhigu River to attack Tianjin! ”

As he spoke, he snorted, spit out thick phlegm, slapped the table and said: "Damn, the emperor ordered him Gui Liang to personally lead the troops to rush to the Dagukou Fort to garrison, but this old boy, who shirked his own frailty and illness, let Lao Tzu go to Dagukou instead of him." On such a hot day, Lao Tzu is old, riding a horse and galloping for dozens of miles, his buttocks are all upside down, how can he not rest well? ”

Lan Li, the chief soldier of Tianjin Town, was probably a little worried because Dagukou was under his jurisdiction after all, so he reminded: "Junmen, the emperor's order is difficult to disobey, since the master of Taiwan is talking about rushing overnight, rushing to Dagukou and Beitang and other places, I will wait here for a while, and I will leave immediately." ”

Bao Heng's face turned cold, and he scolded: "Lan Li, you are a bastard, do you listen to Lao Tzu or listen to that fucking Gui Liang?" If you want to go, you lead your Tianjin Town to rush here! Lao Tzu can't run anymore, so he needs to take a break! ”

Lan Li's face changed, the corners of his mouth squirmed, and he wanted to say something, but he still didn't dare to gnaw. And Shi Rongchun, the chief soldier of the famous town on the side, hurriedly interjected to ease the atmosphere: "Chief soldier Lan, you see, everyone has worked hard, and the military gate is too tired. Let's have a good night's rest and leave tomorrow morning. ”

Le Shan, the chief soldier of Hebei Town, who had not spoken much, also said loudly: "Yes." Just march again tomorrow morning, let the horses rest for the night, and run fast, and they will arrive in an hour or two. What else can not be done in just one night? Besides, arriving at night won't make much difference. ”

Seeing that everyone had such an opinion, Lan Li had no choice but to smile and say, "What the military gate and the adults said is true. The little brother is anxious! ”

Bao Heng turned his anger into joy at this time: "That's right!" Mr. Lan, this is your territory, let people fetch wine, Ben Du is too hard today, I want to drink two glasses to relieve fatigue. ”

"What the military gate said is extremely true!" When everyone heard this, they all agreed in unison.

"The subordinate will go and order." Lan Li's face changed slightly, but he reluctantly agreed, and turned around to order his own soldiers to do it.
