Wuxu, forty miles south of Nanning City, is entrenched in more than 4,000 people with red scarves on their heads, but they are the main force of Zhu Hongying, Hu Youlu and the "Gongyitang" righteous army led by them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhu Hongying, a native of Dong'an County, Yongzhou Prefecture, Hunan Province, originally made a living as a carpenter, entered the Tiandihui in his early years, and after learning a martial arts, he established a branch of the Tiandihui in Dong'an and the neighboring Quanzhou and Guanyang in Guangxi, and developed members. He was deep and ambitious. After the Taiping army went north, he found out that the Qing troops in the hinterland of Guangxi were all transferred to Guilin and Hunan, and felt that he had an opportunity. He organized his members to enter the important land of Guangxi and Nanning in batches, continue to develop the congregation, and wait for the opportunity to prepare for the incident.

Hu Youlu, a native of Wuxuan, Guangxi. As early as the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang, he and his brother Hu Youfu, Luo Outline and others gathered thousands of people in Baijiaping, Ningyuan to revolt, but after the failure of the Qing army, they retreated to Guangxi, and after a few months of recuperation, they led the crowd to attack Yangshuo, unfortunately failed again, and his brother Hu Youfu was also arrested and beheaded for public display.

Luo Xuan left and returned to Xunzhou Mansion to develop a boat army with Ren Wenbing on the Xun River, and later joined the Taiping Army. Hu Youlu, who was full of bitter hatred for the Manchus, sneaked back to Nanning, Guangxi, and took refuge with his brother Hu Youfu's old friend Zhu Hongying, and together they secretly developed the Heaven and Earth Congregation in Nanning, and established the "Righteous Hall", a branch of the Heaven and Earth Society with thousands of people.

As early as a month ago, the Taiping Holy Army's "Fengtian Discussion of Hu Xubu Quartet" had been smuggled to Nanning by the cousins, causing a lot of discussion among the cousins. At this time, the Taiping Holy Army began to capture Liangguang. The second person of the Taiping Holy Army, the name of the Luo outline of the first inspection point on the left side of the palace, naturally also spread to Nanning.

Hu Youlu heard the name of the Luo Outline, and was in the Taiping Holy Army, so he naturally knew that it was the Luo Outline that had an incident five years ago and was separated after the failure. He sent someone to contact Luo Xuan, but there was no reply. He didn't know that the messenger sent had already been intercepted by Zhu Hongying and sank into the Yongjiang River.

Zhu Hongying, who pretended to be a descendant of Empress Ming in history, established the "Shengping Heavenly Kingdom", which originally had the dream of being an emperor. Later, because his troops were too lacking in combat power, he couldn't defeat the Qing soldiers, and it happened that Hong Xiuquan wrote a letter to solicit him, so he wanted to take refuge in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he pretended Hu Youlu to be the "King of Dingnan" on the surface, and he called himself "King of Zhennan". It's just that now, Guangxi's troops are empty, and he is determined to strangle Hu Youlu's idea of defecting to Luo's outline.

He had already discovered clearly that there were only four battalions of Qing troops in Nanning, totaling more than 1,600 people, and another regiment of more than 1,000 people, while the Hui Party, which he concentrated in the area of Xuanhua County, Nanning Prefecture, was close to 5,000 people.

Originally, according to the plan, Zhu Hongying and others were ready to launch an uprising at the end of August. He sent his subordinate Chen Yongxiu in advance, and led the brothers of the 500 Hui to dress up in disguise and blend into Nanning City one after another. Seeing that the time for the uprising was approaching, but he found that a large number of Qing troops had bravely entered Nanning City one after another, Zhu Hongying was tenacious by nature, thinking that the Qing army was on guard, so he dispelled the idea of starting an incident here, and prepared to change the place where the Qing army's strength was weak to start again. However, the brothers in the city could not be contacted. You must know that the more than 500 people are elite brothers who can fight in the meeting, how can they abandon them, so they have been circling in the mountains and forests not far from Nanning City --- Wuxu area.

……………

On the twenty-third night of the ninth month of the lunar calendar, in an alley in the front street of Jiangmen Neifu Street in Nanning City, there is a small courtyard, but there is a cellar in the yard. There was no light in the cellar, and a few people were whispering something in the dark.

No one would have imagined that half a mile away from the yamen of the Nanning Prefecture and the Zuojiang Provincial Administration, there would be so many anti-Qing "righteous church" congregants hidden under such an ordinary courtyard. This courtyard and cellar are the places where the scheming Zhu Hongying carefully prepared for the incident after more than a year and a half. The cellar was stocked with dry food and water, and there were two similar dens in the city of Nanning. The brothers in the meeting who entered the city as the inner responder hid in the cellar, waiting for the order to bring back the incident from the outside to inquire about the news.

Chen Yongxiu, who was sent into Nanning City by Zhu Hongying and commanded the brothers in the city, was in the middle of this cellar at this moment.

"Lord Chen Xiang, the hall master said that the incident would start at the end of August, and then it was delayed until the beginning of September, but it is almost the end of September now, why hasn't there been any movement?" After a while, the brother asked.

"Yes, Lord Chen Xiang. A few days ago, I heard a report that there are more and more Qing soldiers in Nanning City, and the inspections are becoming more and more strict. I think we'd better get up sooner, right? The other interjected.

"That's right, Lord Chen Xiang, there is not much dry food, and it can last for ten days at most!"

"Brothers, I, Chen Yongxiu, am more anxious than you. It's just that at the moment, the hall master has not yet launched an attack signal outside the city, nor has he sent a letter in to agree on when to attack the city together. Wait. Chen Yongxiu, who looked worried, replied that he was worried that the visiting brother who would enter the cellar in two or three days to inform him of the news had not delivered the news for several days.

"It's the dead of night right now, why don't you let the brothers go out into the yard to breathe?" The previous congregation proposed.

"No! My eyelids are jumping these days, and I always feel that something is going to happen! Moreover, the brother who was originally responsible for listening to the news outside has not gone down to the cellar to deliver the news from the outside for several days. Otherwise, I will ask the two of you to go up with me and inquire about the news outside, while the rest of us wait patiently, and the results will be available in two or three days at the latest. Chen Yongxiu made up his mind, called the two of them, and carefully opened one of the lids of the cellar together.

A broken water tank is pressed on the lid to ventilate. Chen Yongxiu was about to push open the courtyard door when he suddenly heard someone whispering outside the wall.

"Luo Si, this is the deserted yard you said? Let's hide here, and tomorrow night we will go to the prefect's yamen and the Taoist yamen next to us to set fire to the siege signal? ”

"Exactly! Don't talk nonsense, take the brothers to the hospital quickly, the weather is a little cold, don't get sick and delay tomorrow night's big event! ”

With a creak, the wooden bolt of the courtyard gate was removed with the back of a knife, and the door was pushed open. A group of soaking wet strong men entered the courtyard, and there were hundreds of people in total.

When the leader saw Chen Yongxiu and the three of them, his face was shocked, and he shouted in a low voice: "Brothers, take down the three of them, so as not to leak the news." ”

Chen Yongxiu hurriedly stepped forward to reveal his identity. As soon as he heard that it was a brother in the Heaven and Earth Society, Luo Si hurriedly stepped forward to salute.

After listening to Luo Si's talk about the situation in Nanning City, Chen Yongxiu immediately expressed his willingness to lead the brothers in the three dens to help the Taiping Holy Army as the inner response in the city, and attack from the inside and outside tomorrow night to seize the city gate.

Luo Si Daxi. Originally, there were fewer people entering the city, and there were not many hidden places, if there were more people coming in from the inland river tunnel, it would be easy to be discovered by the Qing demons, which would not be good. Now with the help of the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society, acting as an internal response in the city, there is no need to take such a big risk, and the chances of breaking the city have also increased greatly.
