Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    In the Golden Dragon Palace, Lin Haifeng told the kings in detail his battle plan to solve the Qing army's Jiangnan camp.

    In view of the strength of the Qing Jiangnan Camp of 30,000 men, he planned to use the First Red Army and the Teaching Brigade as the main force, and then mobilize the 30,000 men of Qin Rigang and Zeng Shuiyuan who were originally responsible for the defense of Tianjing to carry out a four-sided attack on the Jiangnan Camp.  Outflank and attack, annihilate them all in one fell swoop.

    After hearing Lin Haifeng's plan, King Hong Tian nodded in agreement, but he was still a little worried, "Qingyao Xiangrong's Jiangnan camp is not a weak enemy. After the Dakai brothers' army left Zhenjiang, Qingyao set up another camp outside Yangzhou City  The Jiangbei camp is headed by Qishan. To deal with the Jiangnan camp, I think that with 50,000 men against 30,000 men, the military advantage is not very strong. Once a stalemate is reached, I am afraid that one side will lose sight of the other, which will lead to a dilemma for both ends.  .¡±

    Zheng Nan chuckled and said, "Don't worry, King of Heaven. Our Heavenly Army's new grenade will make Qingyao unforgettable for a lifetime. Coupled with the half-equipped teaching brigade, it will be easy to defeat the Jiangnan Camp. Brother An and Wang  After repeated research, the battle against the Jiangnan camp can be resolved within one day at most. I think the key issue is when to conquer Jiangsu and Zhejiang and gain more room for development for the Celestial Empire."

    King Hong Tian thought for a while, "Okay, then we will act according to Brother Haifeng's plan."

    "With the Jiangnan camp destroyed, Tianjing will be much safer, and the supply channels for grain, grass and military supplies will be completely unblocked. Now that we have made sufficient preparations, we should implement it as soon as possible. To be prepared, you can call Zhenjiang Xu Zongyang and Su Sanniang  They are on strict guard and do not allow the soldiers of the old demon leader Qishan to cross the river." Yang Xiuqing looked at the King of Heaven and raised her hand, "In addition, Xuanjiao's female army and the card swordsmen from various prefectures have gathered together. Once  If necessary, you can invest in it. As for the Eastern Expedition, after this war, the army still needs some time to rest and the weather will slowly turn colder. Especially in Shanghai, there will definitely encounter interference from foreign devils, which should not be underestimated. If in winter,  Being dragged behind the walls of Shanghai may be detrimental to our army. I think it would be better to start the Eastern Expedition next spring."

    Lin Haifeng nodded, "Brother Dong Wang has considered everything carefully. However, according to the information obtained by my younger brother, Shanghai City has been controlled by Liu Lichuan's Little Sword Society. Qing Yao and the foreign devils have joined forces to try to exterminate the Little Sword Society. After we destroyed the Jiangnan camp,  , after a short rest and reorganization of Qin Rigang and Zeng Shuiyuan, we should send troops to the east as soon as possible. This is an excellent opportunity, and we cannot wait for the Xiaodao in Shanghai to be eliminated."

    Yang Xiuqing looked at Lin Haifeng, "How is the situation at the Shanghai Knife Fair you mentioned developing?"

    Lin Haifeng thought for a while and said slowly: "The Xiaodao Hui is originally one of the branches of the Tiandi Hui. In the first year of the Jintian regiment camp, Chen Qingzhen, an overseas Chinese in Xiamen, Fujian, met with Wang Quan and others in the Wuzu Temple at Flagpole Foot, Xiamen.  10 people established Xiao Dao Hui. Xiao Dao Hui inherited the organizational form of Tiandi Hui, and its chants, slogans and belts were the same as Tiandi Hui. Soon, it grew to thousands of people. The members used the knife as their symbol, so they were called Xiao Dao Hui. The main members are  Peasants, handicraft workers, sailors, porters, vagrants and a few industrial and commercial owners participated in the city. Later it developed to Shanghai. In August this year, the Xiaodao Society launched an uprising in Shanghai. However, their initial slogan was to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and established the so-called  In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Lichuan, the leader of the Tiandihui from Guangdong, said that the political and religious leader of the Ming Dynasty was the generalissimo, and Li Xianchi, the leader of the Small Sword Society from Fujian, said that the founding father of the Ming Dynasty, Ping Hu, was the governor. "

    "The Ming Dynasty?" Hong Xiuquan frowned, "How can we establish our own country?"

    Lin Haifeng looked at him and smiled, "They should have given up their country title by now, and Liu Lichuan also called himself the 'Generalissimo of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in charge of political and religious affairs.' Originally, they wanted to open up the connection with Zhenjiang last month, but unfortunately  The strength is not enough. The letter sent to the Celestial Empire requesting to be restrained may have never arrived due to an accident on the part of the messenger."

    When Hong Xiuquan heard this, his brows suddenly relaxed and his eyes turned to Yang Xiuqing.

    ¡°The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom¡¯s political and religious leadership recruits the generalissimo,¡± Yang Xiuqing smiled and shook her head, ¡°If this is the case, it would be sooner rather than later.¡±

    "Since there is a knife in Shanghai that can drag the demons away, why don't we develop the area around Tianjing as much as possible first, to raise money and food, and secondly to calmly replenish the army." Wei Changhui said while thinking, "Besides, the Eastern Expedition is inevitable  We have to take away many elite troops. Once Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are in a tight situation, what should Tianjing do?"

    Lin Haifeng nodded, "What Brother Bei Wang said is not unreasonable." As he said, he stood up, "Once the Jiangnan camp is broken, and with our army's eastward expedition, there is no threat to the south of Tianjing for the time being. King Yi's command  Our navy has completely controlled the Yangtze River Basin from Wuchang to Zhenjiang. Therefore, all garrison points along the river are not in serious trouble. Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are the northern gates of Tianjing, and there is Qishan's Jiangbei Camp outside Yangzhou City.  With hundreds of thousands of troops under control, key defenses are indeed needed there. Before the Eastern Expedition, appropriate defense forces must be properly arranged. The Eastern Expedition to pacify Jiangsu and Zhejiang requires fundamental?Solved the supply of grain and grass for the Kingdom of Heaven, Suzhou and Hangzhou have been rice grain rivers since ancient times.  By winning Shanghai, we can open up trade channels with Western countries, develop heavenly industry, and equip more new-style armies. Why worry about the uncertainty of the world?  "

    Yang Xiuqing glanced sideways and chuckled, "In April, Wen Han, the British Governor of Hong Kong and plenipotentiary envoy to China, wrote to the Celestial Empire, claiming that they would remain neutral. After discussing with the Celestial King, my brother also wrote to him, repeatedly stating that overseas  The British people came from thousands of miles away and surrendered to our dynasty. Not only did the soldiers of the celestial dynasty enthusiastically welcome them, but also the heavenly father and brother in heaven would also praise their loyalty and righteousness. They also allowed their foreigners to come and go freely, advance and retreat at will, whether it is to assist our heavenly soldiers in annihilation  The monster enemy, or the business as usual, just let them do what they want. Later, this Wenhan even brought people to Tianjing specially. However, these Yingyi people said one thing but thought another in their hearts. They originally wanted to take this opportunity  We bought some guns, ammunition, and food, but they left without even a single message."

    Hong Xiuquan shook his head, obviously disagreeing with what he said, "I believe that when dealing with Western countries, we must be sincere. They believe in God just like the Celestial Empire and are all the people of the Heavenly Father. Don't be impatient in everything, and be civilized slowly.  They will eventually be used by the Celestial Empire."

    Lin Haifeng sat down with a smile. He really couldn't compliment Hong Tianwang's words.  Also believe in God?  Haha, you have changed other people¡¯s gods in a messy way, and people don¡¯t think of you that way.  What is even more intolerable is that, as Yang Xiuqing said just now, the current foreign policy of the Taiping Rebellion is actually to acquiesce in the humiliating and humiliating treaty signed by the Manchu Qing government in order to win the favor of foreigners.  However, he can't reject their ideas right now, he can only do it slowly. Isn't King Hong Tian talking about "enlightenment"?

    "What the King of Heaven said is good!" He raised his fists and arched towards Hong Xiuquan, "However, as far as I know, after visiting Tianjing, Wen Han ordered his attach¨¦s to write their own inspection reports on Tianjing. From the political point of view,  , military, economic, commercial, religious, officer and soldier quality and other aspects to evaluate the Chinese regime, and based on this, he wrote a summary inspection report to the British government. He believed that the Chinese government's attempt to overthrow the current government will not succeed.'  It advocates supporting the Manchu Qing government and continuing to be 'neutral' on the surface. At the same time, it believes that sufficient force should be prepared to resist any attack by the revolutionary army.'"
