Previously, Zhang Lexing, Gao Yongqing and others came from Henan to contact their old friends and wanted to mobilize the two to three hundred thousand Nien troops. However, they did not expect that except for Li Zhaoshou and a few people, these two to three hundred thousand Nien troops would People's hearts are not under their control at all.
The Nian Army are all bloody men. They made a promise to Du Jinchan and will not break it. Someone immediately said: "Mother Du, please lend me your sword!"
"Okay!" When Du Jinchan heard about the sword, her face immediately turned red. She handed over the dagger about a foot long, and then Wang Huaiyi pricked her hand with the dagger, drawing blood. It was unbearable to see the dripping glass, but Wang Huaiyi said happily: "From now on, we will follow Du Niangniang and His Majesty Emperor Zhenyuan. As long as Your Majesty does not abandon us old people, our hundreds of thousands of star grass in northern Anhui will be Follow Du Niangniang until death!"
"Follow Empress Du and His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live His Majesty the Emperor!"
"Long live the empress!"
Following such a call, Nianshou formed an alliance in their familiar way. Almost everyone used the dagger to stab themselves, and then handed it back to Du Jinchan. Du Jinchan also tightened his grip. Holding the sword: "I will never abandon you naughty people!"
From now on, the sword in her hand has a deeper meaning than before. Holding this dagger will not only play the role of Shang Fang's sword in northern Anhui, but also in every corner of the country, Anhui fellows will be excited about this sword. I couldn't help but kneel down.
And now thousands of Nien troops are cheering, having heard the details of the negotiations. Emperor Zhenyuan has already taken care of them and found a way out for them, but the prerequisite is to defeat Zhang Lexing, the old leader of the alliance.
As long as you can eat enough. Even if they wanted to take advantage of Zhang Xingle's father, they all shouted long live to His Majesty the Emperor three times, and then started shooting into the air in celebration.
This was also the gunshot that Ren Huabang heard at first. He quickly brought an infantry company to protect Du Jinchan and Liu Sanniang, but what he saw was a joyful scene. Under the escort of tens of thousands of Nian troops, Du Jinchan's convoy headed for Pheasant River Ji again.
Several Nian heads have already promised everyone that Woyang County will be established immediately when they arrive at Zhiheji, and thousands of tables of flowing banquets will be set up. This money does not need to be paid by the government. These Nian heads will find a way on their own - a few years down. Their coffers definitely have a lot of money.
Seeing that Du Jinchan and Liu Sanniang were both in peace, Ren Huabang also breathed a sigh of relief: "Two ladies, the villain Ren Huabang has already gathered at Zhihe, no, it's Woyang County has prepared a banquet, Please come over quickly, ladies and gentlemen!"
"No rush, no rush!" Liu Sanniang enjoyed the current joy: "We want to see more of our old friends. Brother, feel their mood. You can raise more food and drinks. We will then assist the officers to eliminate Li Zhao Shou, Miao Peilin, beat Zhang Lexing again"
Ren Huabang nodded. With the support of tens of thousands of people, the situation in northern Anhui has been greatly improved. Just as he was about to say something, Du Jinchan asked: "Are you Ren Zhu Ren Huabang?"
"The villain is none other than Ren Zhu and Ren Huabang!" Ren Huabang laughed immediately: "Yes, the villain is Ren Zhu. He was in Hefei. Unfortunately, the villain's cavalry was defeated by the big army. Since it was unfortunate, It¡¯s also a blessing!¡±
Du Jinchan nodded and said: "As expected, it was Ren Zhu Ren Huabang. When he left the capital, His Majesty specifically mentioned you."
Ren Zhu couldn't help but feel happy. He was a rising star in the Nian Army with very little qualifications. The reason why he could serve as the leader of the 12th Regiment was entirely due to the love of his elders. However, he didn't expect Liu Juehu to mention him specifically: "Thank you very much." Your Majesty is very kind."
He was concerned about what Liu Chang said, but Du Jinchan quickly said: "Your Majesty said, although Ren Zhu was defeated by me in the provincial capital, it was not a crime of war, but he is worthy of use. I don't know if he is willing to I am willing to go out to Anhui and serve the country!"
This Ren Zhu and Ren Huabang are definitely a famous figure in the history of the war between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Nian Army. Zeng Guofan said that "Ren Huabang's cavalry is the most powerful. Cheng Xiang Yu's wife is also a weirdo among people." Li Hongzhang said that he " Ren Zhu ruled for ten years and had thousands of horses. He defeated the three eastern provinces and the Mongolian cavalry. He was regarded as the first-class cavalry general today. He was regarded as the first cavalry general in the Xiantong period. However, Ren Zhu died in battle. Within dozens of days, the two Nian armies in the east and west were completely destroyed. One can imagine his status among the Nian armies.
It's just that at this time, Ren Zhu was not an experienced Nian Shu, but a rising star with no weight in the Nian Army. When he heard Liu Chang promoting him like this, he immediately fell to his knees and said, "Your Majesty loves Ren Zhu deeply, Ren Zhu. Naturally, I am willing to die in retribution, but I don¡¯t know where to go out of Anhui to fight?¡±
Du Jinchan told Ren Zhu: "This time our army will fight the Qingyao and the Russian cavalry in the north, so Zhou Xiuying's cavalry army was established. He still lacks a cavalry brigade commander, and one of the cavalry regimentsIt is adapted from the cavalry of the Nian Army, and there is also a regiment of the Hong Army's elite cavalry. If General Ren is willing to go and serve, he can also select a regiment of cavalry in northern Anhui to serve. All expenses will be verified by Governor Feng Sixian. pin!"
Ren Huabang couldn't help but be overjoyed. He kept kowtowing on the ground and kept saying, "Thank you for your majesty's love, and thank you for your love! I am willing to serve your majesty and my queen."
In his heart, Liu Changgui is the great emperor of a country, and the personnel he usually pays attention to are key positions at the provincial and military levels. How could he have thought that the head of a production group like him must be Du Jinchan in Liu Chang'er After blowing the pillow wind, he was promoted and appointed.
In the Nian Army, although some old generals have held positions at the division and brigade level of the regular army, none of them has served as a chief officer, and he can be said to be the first person, not to mention these generals who led the third cavalry regiment and the first regiment. The old brothers he brought out from Northern Anhui are the most convenient. There is also a group of old brothers from the Nian Army who should be trustworthy. There is also a group of disciples of the Emperor who are definitely good enough to fight.
He is very optimistic about his future.
With his support, Du Jinchan's propaganda campaign in northern Anhui seemed much smoother. At least there was no collapse of local political power. Everyone respected the dagger in Du Jinchan's hand like a god, but Liu Sanniang looked down upon it. Looking funny, while the two of them were having a private meal, she said with a smile: "I didn't expect that this short knife could be used for so much more than just shaving. I really didn't expect"
Du Jinchan¡¯s face turned red, but she fought back: ¡°When His Majesty favors you next time, I will help you do it¡±
Liu Sanniang is not afraid of jokes like this: "Okay, let's just wait for His Majesty's favor and see which one His Majesty favors first"
When it comes to topics between women, Du Jinchan is no match for her. She lowers her head, not daring to look Liu Sanniang in the face, and the atmosphere becomes ambiguous.
Liu Sanniang found it more and more funny and was about to say something when there was a burst of hurried footsteps outside, and then came a piece of bad news: "Guide Jinlou Village, Gao Yongqing and Liu Gou have rebelled, and it has now been conquered. Ma Muji is besieging the county seat"
Return to virtue.
This place was renamed Shangqiu in another time and space, but in this time and space, Shangqiu is just a small place name that can be omitted on the map. It was because of the opening of the railway that Shangqiu continued to expand, and finally swallowed up Guide Prefecture, and was no longer on the map. Guide Prefecture with a long history cannot be found, only Shangqiu County.
This place can be said to be a battleground for military strategists. The famous Zhang Xun defended Suiyang here. However, there were several battles to defend the city that determined the fate of China. For example, King Xiao of Liang defended Suiyang and Li Zicheng attacked Guidefu twice. , even Song Gaozong Zhao Gou ascended the throne here, and today Guide Mansion once again encountered enemy siege.
But compared with the famous city defense battles in history, today's Guide defense battle is a mess. There are almost only two infantry platoons and some non-combatants such as heavy troops and health soldiers left in the city. They are facing the tide. With such a siege, it seemed that this small force could not even defend the city wall. Fortunately, a small number of militiamen were temporarily mobilized, and the strong people in the city were mobilized, so they could barely maintain a defensive state.
But the situation was getting worse and worse. From the beginning of the battle, the defenders were in a situation of frustration. First, almost all the basic militiamen and ordinary militiamen in Jinlouzhai participated in the rebellion, and even some rural soldiers participated in the rebellion. Then Ma A platoon of rural soldiers from Muji and a platoon from the Guide Army Battalion were almost completely wiped out. Only three people broke out and came back. They only brought despair, and the main force of a company from the Guide Army Battalion is now missing.
"Where is Magistrate Liu?"
"Where is Zheng Zhixian?"
"Where is Battalion Commander Chu?"
"Where is Company Commander Zhang?"
The whereabouts of several officers serving as the center of the guard were unknown, and the siege outside the city became increasingly tight. Soon an infantry squad at Nancheng Pass and the thirty or forty heavy troops and militiamen who assisted them in the defense were completely defeated by the rebels. No one has escaped to report the news, and according to unreliable news, almost all the rural soldiers platoons, basic militia companies, and *** battalion companies and platoons near Shangqiu have been wiped out. At least one thing is certain, that is, the rebels The army also held many modern firearms, such as percussion rifles, flintlock muskets, and some small Western cannons.
Under such an offensive, the entire Guide City could be breached at any time, and the defenders in the city could not even find a reliable commander. In desperation, they could only elect a departing Qing Dynasty commander. The magistrate is responsible for the garrison and command of the entire city.
The deposed magistrate of Liu County could only reluctantly take office. He knew that after the rebel army entered the city, he would not be the first to spare the gentry class like him: "Please rest assured, my lords, I swear to Li Gua to teach Gao Yong?There is no contradiction. "
