Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Feng Sixian never expected that he and his officer corps would have such big differences on this issue. Almost all the officers in the conference room stood up and protested to him for being too soft on Anqing Shi Dakai: "Your Excellency, Governor, I think  You were so kind to Shi Dashi that it affected the entire Anhui war situation!"

    Shi Dakai now controls Anqing, the most important city in the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River. From this place, he can make advances in Jiangxi and Hubei, and in the bottom, he can make progress in Anhui and point directly at Jinling. However, now Shi Dakai is under the pressure of the Hong Army and can only hold on to his determination to defend his achievements.  That is, they dare not attack upstream, nor dare to advance downstream, and can only be trapped in Anqing.  .

    Ever since Feng Sixian entered southern Anhui, Shi Dakai in Anqing has maintained a relatively friendly relationship with Feng Sixian. The envoys from both sides have never been interrupted, and they have also cooperated many times. Shi Dakai obtained a lot of strategic materials from Feng Sixian. In return,  He also sent troops to cooperate with Feng Sixian's operations.

    It's just that Feng Sixian didn't expect that his cooperation with Shi Dakai would actually trigger the cooperation of the entire officer corps: "What do you mean? Shi Dakai is not our enemy!"

    An officer put forward his own point of view: "But it is not one of our own. Now we can see clearly that it is either the enemy or one of our own!"

    Now the situation in the entire Anhui battlefield, and even the entire Chinese battlefield, has become clear. The next step will be a decisive battle between the two major forces. Therefore, it is either the enemy or one of our own. There is no room for a third party. Feng Sixian's voice was low.  He continued: "But, he is Shi Niangniang's brother"

    "Empress Shi will support us!" These officers refused to give up their point of view: "We must achieve complete victory in the entire Anhui battlefield. Teams like Shi Dakai who used the Taiping flag and had frequent contacts with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and  At an important point in Anqing, we think you have made a fatal mistake"

    "What will you do if I don't agree"

    Feng Sixian wanted to shout these words out, but he didn't dare. He didn't expect that he was in the Eighth Division, which he thought had the strongest control.  It's surprising to find such protests, and to some extent, they seem to have a good attitude towards the problem.

    Now is the time to decide the outcome of the entire Chinese battlefield, not the time to consider Shi Tinglan's personal emotions.  It¡¯s time to solve the Anqing problem!

    He agreed that the issue became stronger in Shi Dakai: "Tell Shi Dakai that it is not just a matter of changing flags, his troops must accept the Hong Army's adaptation!"

    Anqing.

    One thing worthy of irony is that this is almost the last big city in this time and space to fly the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom flag. This city and several nearby towns still fly the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom flag, and use the most primitive official system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and even use it.  Some edicts of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

    These edicts and printed books.  Even though the rest of the Taiping Army led by Hong Xiuquan himself has been abandoned, this army still maintains the most primitive aspect of the old Taiping Army.

    And in history, after Shi Dakai's expeditionary force was all wiped out, his remnants were still active for several years. Apart from Li Wencai's troops, they were almost the last remaining Taiping Army troops.

    It¡¯s just that this city, which was flying the yellow flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, had to change its flag. Shi Dakai, who was now wearing a yellow robe, frowned.  He turned to Lai Yuxin, who was standing down, and asked: "Yuxin, what do you think? Feng Sixian falls out faster than he can turn over the pages of a book. He is really not a good friend!"

    Lai Yuxin has always been the number two figure in Shi Dakai's small group.  Not only could he lead the army in battle, but he was also the mastermind of Shi Dakai. He immediately said: "I think this is just Feng Sixian's intention, not His Highness King Yan's intention!"

    "What's the difference between Feng Sixian's opinions and Liu Juehu's opinions!" The person who said this was Shi Zhenji. He was the sect of the Kingdom of Heaven. Although he was named Shi Dakai's brother, he was actually just a sworn brother with the same surname: "Liu Juehu is coming.  We have only one word to deal with us. That is to fight!"

    As soon as Shi Zhenji said fight, the general in charge, Zhu Yidian, said: "Fight, what are we going to use to fight? We are trapped on three sides, not to mention that King Yan also has a navy and steam steamer to help!"

    When Shi Zhenji mentioned the steam wheel, he felt a little relieved: "Then what do you think we should do? Are we just going to hand over the troops and capture them without mercy?"

    He is unwilling to hand over his troops. You must know that although he is Shi Dakai's sworn brother in name and absolutely obeys Shi Dakai's command, in fact Shi Dakai cannot command his troops at all. He has always been separated from Shi Dakai's military operations.  , His defeat in history is also related to this. He broke away from the Shida Kaifeng activities and encountered his subordinates who snatched the wife of the leader who had just formed an alliance. He rushed over to suppress them and wanted to kill all the Hubei people who violated military discipline.  Before, it turned out that they accounted for the majority of the troops.?There was a violent backlash among the people in Hubei, thinking that the old brothers from Guangdong and Guangxi were bullying the brothers from Guangdong and Hunan, so a mutiny broke out.

    After a mutiny, Shi Zhenji¡¯s original army of tens of thousands almost collapsed. In the end, Shi Zhenji was captured by a small number of Qing troops. This can be said to be a very tragic young general from heaven.

    In fact, not only him, but almost the entire generals of the Yidian Expeditionary Group were a tragedy. An important figure like Lai Yuxin, who played an extremely important role even in the early stage of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was missing in the end, and no one knew about it.  Where did he die and why? There are many people like him in the Shidakai Group whose whereabouts are unknown, and many people who appear suddenly have no trace of their early experiences.

    However, at this time, Shi Dakai's Wing Palace Expeditionary Force still retains the ambition and pride of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: "Can't hand over, can't hand over, can't hand over the troops!"

    It was Wang Haiyang who spoke. He was just a mid-level officer when he left Tianjing, but now he has become a capable general in the Yidian Army: "If it doesn't work, let's go back and join the King of Heaven."

    Historically, Shi Dakai chose a wrong marching route. He first marched into Fujian and Zhejiang. As a result, he failed to conquer Quzhou, then hastily withdrew his troops from Fujian, and finally decided to return to his hometown in Guangxi. Who would have thought that Guangxi alone could not support these 400,000 troops?  One hundred thousand troops were almost starved in Guangxi, so a group of generals such as Tong Ronghai and Zhu Yidian led two hundred thousand troops back to the DPRK to defect to Hong Xiuquan. Hong Xiuquan, who was in trouble at the time, was overjoyed and immediately named this army the "Heavenly Army to Support the Chao".  .

    Although this Fuchaotian Army was not very effective in fighting and produced many traitors, there were also many who were loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven. Wang Haiyang and others even persisted to the last state of Jiaying Prefecture. It could be said that they were a mixed bag, so Wang Haiyang proposed to fight with them.  The alliance of the heavenly kings immediately won the approval of many people.

    Shi Dakai was not a person who was good at making decisions. When he heard that so many people agreed and thought that the Hong Army had the advantage of the water and would lose more than they won in the battle, he immediately decided to send people to Zhihe to gather his party. However, although Lai Yuxin was  The second-rate military strategist knew very well that Zhiheji was a place that could not support soldiers since the Yellow River captured the Huaihe River.

    "Are you willing to give up such a good place like Anqing? Even if you want to give up, you have to buy thousands of foreign guns and cannons from King Yan!" Lai Yuxin was happy: "Under the current situation, Anqing is indeed undefendable, but even if  King Yan has the advantage of water, and if he wants to conquer Anqing Mansion, it will not take him a short while!"

    "Then what do you think we should do?" Shi Dakai was shaken again: "Write a letter to my sister?"

    This is the intention of letting Shi Tinglan turn a deaf ear to Liu Chang, but Lai Yuxin does not agree: "Even if His Royal Highness King Yan can tolerate you, can Feng Sixian, Huo Qiu and Shi Tuiji allow you to continue to occupy Anqing Mansion? You are so trapped now.  It¡¯s better to give up Anqing and take the initiative to march north!¡±

    Lai Yuxin and Chen Yucheng had the same idea on the northward march. Feng Sixian had completely taken the initiative on the battlefield in Anhui. Instead of waiting for death, it was better to capture Kaifeng and then move forward. However, Wang Haiyang, a rough man, immediately shouted  : "Anqing is our foundation, why would we give it to that villain Liu Juehu without firing a shot!"

    "Although we are giving up Anqing, we are definitely not giving it up to Liu Juehu without asking for anything!" Lai Yuxin had a good plan: "At least it will allow us to keep Anqing for a while, and then we will give up Anqing after we enter Henan, and we  We should ask for a military name from Liu Juehu."

    So far, the Hong Army is just the name of two armies. Although there is a decision to form a third army based on the third division, after Sun Huzi resigned, the deputy division commander Yu Cun still cannot suppress the entire third division.  situation, so the establishment of the Third Army is only a paper operation. Now Lai Yuxin keenly demands the establishment of an army: "Not only does it need the name of an army, but it also needs it to support a large number of guns and ammunition. We will go there on their behalf."  Fight in the north!"

    "Don't hand over the team?" Shi Zhenji is concerned about this: "As long as you don't hand over the team, I agree!"

    With Shi Zhenji's support, Lai Yuxin was at ease: "We can learn from the lessons of the Northern Expedition and manage the Central Plains after entering Henan. However, the Central Plains is a battleground for military strategists. If we cannot gain a foothold in Henan, we can continue to move westward.  Fight for the whole of Shu."

    Although Lai Yuxin had planned several strategic march routes, either taking Jiangsu and Zhejiang from the east, returning to Guangdong, or marching into the two lakes, his ultimate goal has never changed, which is to strive for the Kingdom of Abundance and attempt to separate Sichuan: "Sichuan rebels are rising everywhere.  Qing Yao has no ability to control the whole of Shu, as long as we march into Bashu, we can spread the message, and Han Gao's old fortune can be easily obtained!"

    Although Lai Yuxin¡¯s strategic plan can be said to be full of flaws, in the eyes of Shi Dakai¡¯s small military group, it is now as bright as heaven¡¯sThe clothes were flawless and the whole room immediately cheered: "Okay!"
