Since Rong Lu took Jurong City, all the defense lines of the Taiping army outside Nanjing City were completely broken, and there was no danger outside the East City, Rong Lu reorganized the soldiers and horses in Jurong City for three days, and then continued to advance eastward, and now has captured the Xiaoling Guard outside the East City.The Hunan army also gathered a large number of troops in the north, south and west of the city, and the city of Nanjing was besieged on all sides, and it was a matter of time before the city was broken.The people in the city were panicked, because there was no food and grass supply, and the famine had lasted for a long time, so the king called on the people to eat the dumplings made of weeds, and called it "sweet dew", and finally even the weeds in the field were eaten cleanly.Li Xiucheng, the loyal king, was sympathetic to the people and didn't want them to be buried with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he opened the city gate and released all the victims in the city.The division commanders of the various divisions of the Yaqing Character Army in Suzhou Prefecture gathered together, except for Wang Shijie, who was far away in northern Shaanxi, they all rushed back from the front line, chatting excitedly in the outer hall and waiting for Qiao Zhiqing's arrival.The nine divisions of the Qing Army, except for Wang Shumao, commander of the left division, Hu Wenhai, commander of the middle division, Feng Zicai, commander of the rear division, Wang Shijie, commander of the new second division, Gu Yunfei, commander of the other four divisions, Gu Yunfei, commander of the right division, Chen Bingwen, commander of the former division, Zhang Zongyu, commander of the new first division, Chen Yucheng, commander of the new third division, and Huang Wenzhong, commander of the naval army, were all from the Taiping Army.The Qing Army is also worthy of the name and has half the blood of the Taiping Army."
Hey, it's all talking, Ben Shuai is still worried that you guys won't have anything to say."
As soon as Qiao Zhiqing walked outside the hall, he heard the excitement inside, and after entering the house, he teased the generals."
Handsome."
All the teachers stood with their bows bowed, clasped their fists and saluted."
Let's all sit down, everyone hasn't been together for a long time, even on the day of Ben Shuai's wedding, it happened suddenly, and everyone has never been so together.But you also have a friendship in private, so Ben Shuai won't introduce it to you.The purpose of inviting you here this time is to discuss the issue of seizing the city of Nanjing. ”Qiao Zhiqing waved his hand easily and motioned for everyone to sit down."
Dashuai, the guns that our left division is waiting for this day are rusty, you give an order, this time to attack Nanjing City, our left division guarantees to complete the task."
Wang Shumao was the first to hug his fists and ask for battle, his face was full of impatience, his main task was to defend Suzhou City, since he came to Suzhou, he had not fought any major battles, but the newly established divisions behind were all trained by their left division, and most of the middle and lower generals were also from the left division, so the left division naturally became the big brother of the Qing army."
Division commander, you can give the order."
The other division commanders also hugged their fists and asked for battle, only Chen Yucheng's face was slightly embarrassed, he had not yet adapted to his identity.Qiao Zhiqing glanced around at everyone and waved his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.Holding the baton, he introduced to the topographic map on the wall, "Don't worry, let me give you a brief introduction to the current military situation."
Today, the area along the river in the north of Nanjing City is occupied by Bao Chao, the sailor of the Hunan army.The Jiangdong Bridge to the west and south, the Upper Gate, the Gaoqiao Gate, the Shuangqiao Gate, and the Seven Bridge Urns were all occupied by the Jizi Battalion of the Hunan Army.Xiaolingwei to the east has just been occupied by Ronglu.Now we are left with only the breakthrough of Tianbao City on the top of the Purple Mountain, if we take Tianbao City, Nanjing will have no danger to defend, and we can drive directly from Taiping Gate. ”"Handsome and wise."
All the teachers and commanders hugged their fists in agreement and said yes, and what Qiao Zhiqing said was the same as what they thought."
I would like to remind you here that the purpose of our campaign is not to compete with the Hunan Army and the Eight Banners Army for credit, so after the city is broken, the Qing Zi Army will not be stationed in the city, nor will it be necessary to chase and suppress the remnants of the enemy in the city."
Qiao Zhiqing looked at the generals and added slightly."
Marshal, then what are we going to do in the city" Hu Wenhai couldn't help but ask, and the other division commanders also had the same expression."
There are four division commanders sitting here who used to be commanders in the Taiping Army, so they naturally know the holy treasury system in the Taiping Army.One of the purposes of our attack on the city of Nanjing this time is for this holy treasury. ”Qiao Zhiqing paused slightly, took a sip of the tea bowl, and moistened his throat.All the division commanders lowered their heads and nodded secretly after discussing for a while, smiled knowingly, and listened to Qiao Zhiqing's meaning, this time it was to grab money."
On the other hand, if Zeng Guoquan takes Tianbao City, then the Taiping army in the city will really become a turtle in an urn.The Hunan army will not show mercy to the Taiping army, and in order to prevent the Taiping army in the city from being slaughtered, this pass must be guarded by us.If they are willing to lay down their arms if necessary, we can free up a way to survive and reunite this enemy force.This not only saves their lives, but also strengthens us.So the purpose of this time is two, one to grab money and the other to rob people. ”Qiao Zhiqing stretched out the index finger and middle finger of his right hand with a serious face, and summed up a sentence.The division commander under the seat exchanged his head for a while, and the division commander Feng Zicai asked a little unwillingly, "Dashuai, the first emperor has an edict, if whoever takes Nanjing City first will be crowned king, don't we want this?"
”Qiao Zhiqing explained lightly, looked at Feng Zicai and chuckled."
Yes, Marshal."
All the teachers and commanders clenched their fists knowingly, and their expressions were different, and everyone could see it clearly in their hearts.After the city of Nanjing was broken, Qiao Zhiqing would inevitably take action against the imperial court, which was also an ironclad thing.As the saying goes, "The cunning rabbit is dead and the lackey cooks, and the birds are good and the bow is hidden." ”Everything Qiao Zhiqing did was a big crime of beheading, if the Taiping Army rebellion was suppressed, then Qiao Zhiqing would have no use value.When the time comes, Qiao Zhiqing will not oppose the imperial court, and the imperial court will definitely not allow Qiao Zhiqing to toss again."
Okay, now that everyone is clear, then the commander will explain the specific actions of each division."
Qiao Zhiqing stood up straight, and raised the baton in his hand and pointed it at the topographic map."
Please command, Marshal."
The division commanders stood with their fists clenched."
Feng Zicai and Chen Bingwen listen to orders.""
The end will be.""
The headquarters of your two divisions is the closest to Nanjing City, and the commander ordered you two to leave a brigade in each city to garrison, and the others will launch an attack on Tianbao City tomorrow.After taking Tianbao City, stick to the standby, your main task is to defend Tianbao City. ”"The last will obey."
Feng Zicai and Chen Bingwen hugged their fists to lead the order."
Zhang Zongyu, Gu Yunfei obeys orders" "The last general." ”"Your task is mainly the holy treasury in the city, after the Tianbao City is taken, you two must break through the Taiping Gate after you arrive, take the holy treasury in the city, and escort all the gold and silver in the holy treasury back to Suzhou."
The last general commands."
Zhang Zongyu and Gu Yunfei hugged their fists to receive the order, and the two of them had already used the siege of the city freely, with confidence on their faces, and there was no pressure at all."
Wang Shumao, Hu Wenhai, and Chen Yucheng obey orders.""
The end will be."
Your three divisions are responsible for the defense of Suzhou, and you must do your best and not relax in the slightest."
The last general commands."
Wang Shumao and Hu Wenhai's faces showed a trace of disappointment, Chen Yucheng breathed a sigh of relief, just now he was still struggling with how to face his former brothers, so soon each of them was the master, and the sword and soldiers met each other."
Huang Wenzhong obeyed orders.""
The last general" "You are responsible for responding in the water, and if there is a change in the road, you will immediately provide support. ”"The last will obey."
Huang Wenzhong finally took the order."
Okay, if you don't have any problems, go down and prepare, Ben Shuai is waiting for your triumphant return in Suzhou."
Qiao Zhiqing smiled at the generals, and waved at the generals.The generals hugged their fists and said goodbye, only Feng Zicai hesitated and stayed."
Master Feng, do you have something," Qiao Zhiqing asked with a frown."
Tell the marshal, I heard what you mean just now, if after the city of Nanjing is breached, will the next target of our Qing Zi army be the imperial court?"
Feng Zicai replied with his fists clenched and his head bowed."
That's right, before this Division Commander Feng joined the Qingzi Army, Ben Shuai had explained it to the generals, does Division Commander Feng have any ideas" Qiao Zhiqing did not hide the translation in his heart, and looked at Feng Zicai with a chuckle."

No, the subordinates just confirm what they think.The subordinates saved this old life by the marshal, what the marshal wants to do, the subordinates naturally have no complaints.It's just that the world is not easy to be peaceful, and the marshal wants to fight again, and it is the people who suffer. ”Feng Zicai sighed helplessly, and the last glimmer of hope in his heart was shattered.Although the court was sorry for him, he was loyal to the court and did not dare to have the slightest dissatisfaction, Qiao Zhiqing's words put him in a dilemma."
Master Feng, as long as the imperial court is still ruled by the Manchu Tartars, the world will not be peaceful, and the common people will not be able to live a good life for a day.If you don't want to deal with the imperial court, Ben Shuai doesn't want to embarrass you, but all this will be said after the city of Nanjing is breached, your current task is to lead the rear division to take Tianbao City, if the action is not effective, the military law will deal with it. ”Qiao Zhiqing snorted coldly, with a hint of unhappiness on his face."
The subordinates receive the order, the marshal can rest assured, the subordinates will not disappoint the marshal."
Feng Zicai clenched his fists and replied, and after Qiao Zhiqing waved his hand, he lowered his head and retreated silently.Qiao Zhiqing returned to the study with a tired face, Zhou Xiuying was sitting on the couch with melon seeds, waiting for him boredly, and after seeing Qiao Zhiqing enter the door, he hurriedly got up to greet him."
Xiuying, how are things going" Qiao Zhiqing picked up a towel and wiped his face, stretched his waist and sat down opposite Zhou Xiuying.After returning from his hometown after the Chinese New Year, Qiao Zhiqing began to arrange the problems of Shanxi, and sent Zhou Xiuying to send a large number of guns and ammunition to the brothers of Huaxing League in Taiyuan Mansion, Shanxi, preparing to launch a riot in Taiyuan Mansion, forcing the imperial court to transfer Wang Shijie's new second division to Shanxi.asked Zhou Xiuying to come over today, also to inquire about this matter."
Don't worry, the brothers are ready, just waiting for your order."
Zhou Xiuying's face was confident, and she smiled at Qiao Zhiqing."
Okay, I will fly a pigeon today to send a message to Wang Shijie to prepare, once the order of the imperial court is issued, I will continue to go directly to Shanxi in the name of suppressing bandits.You let the brothers of Huaxing League pretend to be returning to the army, and someone has to carry the black pot for this matter. ”Qiao Zhiqing smiled wryly and said a word to Zhou Xiuying
