Therefore, only after the sun rose again the next day, the soldiers and civilians trapped in the city of Luchuan could clearly see the Haohao **** fleet sailing toward the upper reaches of the Zhongjiang River again. And the brigade of men and horses and continuous flags that went along the Wenshui fish couple.
The Luchuan defenders, who had the courage and determination for them, faced the generals outside the city and the vacant fortifications, and they didn't even dare to go out of the city to test one or two. On an inconspicuous vehicle and ship on the river, Wang Zhongba, who was draped in his entire body and looked majestic, was also listening to the overnight report from the ground-based pioneers.
"Zhonglang, Gongjing County in Rongzhou has already opened its doors; then the defenders of Weiyuan, Asahikawa, Heyi, and Counsel City have also abandoned their defenses and fled one after another, waiting to be organized into new garrisons. Settled in..."
He nodded slightly. After all, after the past two years of transportation of salt smugglers, the relevant places such as Rongzhou have already been infiltrated into a sieve, so if it cannot be taken down relatively easily, it would be an accident. Then I saw the navy officer Yuhou report:
"It's just that, in those places far away from the river bank, there are still some obstacles; the main reason is that the government officials in the villages left by Gao Renhou have their registered permanent residences and set up fences in order to resist..."
"But it is also reasonable. At least compared to those of the corpse meal prime generation, this envoy is still worthy of responsibility and action. These hukou in the village are all in the past in the Xichuan people's change, and they have been recruited. The separated people of China are much harder and more effective in guarding their homeland and their vital interests than those of rich family names, large families, and local courage."
Not surprisingly, Wang Zhongba slowly said:
"However, we must also pay special attention to them. This should not be our main goal. As long as we spend some time blocking and cutting off the way out between the mountains, we can ensure that the places along the river are well controlled..."
"Yes.."
The navy waiter continued:
"The pioneer teams from Jingyan County of Lingzhou and Yinshan County of Zizhou have reported. There are more than a thousand salt and hundreds of mines in the local area, and they are willing to join the army as a follower and pioneer..."
"Predecessor or something is unnecessary. It is necessary to prevent people from acting recklessly in the name of the Taiping Army, ruining the place and causing trouble. The teams are ordered to select a few loyal and reliable people as their guides, and the rest will be left on the spot for the rear team. Take over and reclassify as a choice for labor and auxiliary soldiers..."
Wang Zhongba only pondered a little and decided:
At this time, a clipper with a brightly-colored exclusive flag was also quickly released from the river, and then leaned on the side of the large vehicle and ship with the flag of the Chinese Army; a piece of wood wrapped in tarpaulin was pinched. When he arrived in front of Wang Zhongba, another waiting officer on duty announced:
"The pioneer ship group that arrived in Luohu Town, Jiazhou reported that there was an accident in the city of Longyou in Zhouzhi (now near the urban area of Leshan); the large merchants led by the local tea gang and the mule caravan gang attacked and imprisoned the officials of the old dynasty. General officials, and sent people to negotiate with the Pioneer Ship Corps..."
"But what is the so-called request?"
Hearing this, Wang Zhongba only got a little bit of energy.
"They are willing to dedicate the city to join the army, but they want Zhonglang to issue a monogram to protect their wealth..."
This name Yuhou read again:
"Did you seize a good time?"
Wang Zhongba raised his eyebrows and said:
"I will give those people a list for the time being. The scope of protection is limited to the net worth in the city, not including the slaves and maids they belonged to. Afterwards, they must move to another country. If this is unacceptable, just wait for the army to accompany the things of the old dynasty. Let's burn the jade together!"
As the number one person in the navy sequence of the Taiping Metropolitan Governor’s House, he seems to be very beautiful; but he is just a big advantage as a first-mover who has an early turn in and an old enough seniority; after these years of great development and expansion, it is worthwhile. There is no shortage of candidates who can replace the Taiping Governor’s Mansion, which is said to be full of talents.
Therefore, he will not use the unique opportunity to make merits that he has so easily obtained, as well as the possibility of furthering the existing capital order, to endorse the speculative behavior of these unfamiliar local people, and let his own merit book be contaminated. There should be blemishes and stains.
After that, his password became the figure of several messengers who boarded the ship ashore, and then hurriedly flew upstream along the land route. Then, Wang Zhongba continued to say in a deep voice to the left and right:
"Although progress is very good at the moment, the various ministries must not be slack or negligent. They should advance steadily with guards against arrogance and rashness, and ensure that they grasp the strongholds and towns along the river, and protect the waterway and the transfer of grain. First priority and first priority."
Although following these orders, the battalions of the Taiping Army who entered the territory of Nanchuan slowed down the momentum of attacking the city to a certain extent, and turned to consolidate the waterway and water and land transportation lines along the river; but the officials who fled from Nanchuan The scholars still voluntarily passed the interception of Mei, Jian, and Qiong prefectures on the edge of Chengdu Plain, and brought the news to Jinguan City.
So it was so easy to escape from the ensuing coups and counter-turmoil, the sluggishly settled people of Chengdu also set off a new wave of mass exodus; only this time their direction of fleeing was changed to the west. Maozhou, Pengzhou, or Hanzhou and Mianzhou to the north.
The Xingzai/Xichuan Imperial Court in Chengdu City was also shocked by various rumors and daily rumors that were flooding the market. Even at the emergency meeting, someone once again proposed to enter Fengtian. Zi Shengjia, this is the suggestion to leave Chengdu and travel fortune in Xishan City.
It’s just that the prime ministers Zheng Changtu and Zhang Jun who restored power, Shang Shupu shot Du Rangneng, the official department Shangshu, Tongping Zhangshi Wei Zhaodu, and other courtiers; or the left and right guard lieutenants Liu Jingxuan and Ximen Junsui of Xinjianba. So he was confused; instead he persuaded Tang Xizong, who was a little restless, and quickly came up with a general countermeasure:
That is, Liu Jurong, the general of the Zuo Hujun who was restored to his original post, led the Chengdu Unity and the soldiers and horses of the dragon, sword, Han, and Mianzhou who came to the king of Qin, which was about 20,000 people, and moved south to defend Shuzhou and The Wenshui between Meizhou and Xinjin City is the first line of thieves.
The other group of soldiers and horses from Wei, Feng, Mao, and Peng Qinwang were dispatched to Jintang County, at the junction of Tuojiang River and Mianshui River, which is north of Chengdu to the east, and at the exit of the river between Yuanshan Mountain and Tongguan Mountain. Inside; don’t set it as the east camp and take Li Shouzhen, the first hero in overcoming difficulties, as the capital.
Li Maozhen led the more than a thousand soldiers of Xichuan Township who had stayed at the festival, and then moved to the area to fight against each other with the fifth battalion of the Shence New Army led by the Shence Supervisor Dou Xingshi; he stayed in Hanzhou since then. Among the Uyghur and Maoqiang soldiers of a generation, more than a thousand Zhuangqi were selected to be stationed in Shuangliu City between the two camps. They belonged to the new two lieutenants and were called Yi Congdu.
They also opened warehouses to release grain and help the people, and recruit strong men to work for repairing the city. For a time, under the utmost effort from the top and bottom of the emperor and ministers, it quickly stabilized the panic of the people in Chengdu and even around Yizhou, and showed a confident and well-organized corresponding posture.
However, this situation did not continue for long. The Dongchuan reinforcements they had been waiting for have not arrived, but they waited for their exodus in Mianzhou and Hanzhou. They wanted to flee to Dongchuan to avoid disaster, but they turned around. The bad news brought by the people who fled back to the east of the Lutou Pass, the gateway to the border between East and West, found the flag of the thief army.
This news is like a huge boulder igniting thousands of waves, and it explodes as if the sky is breaking when walking inside; the trembling monarchs are dizzy and relatively speechless for a long time; in the end, Tang is still strong. Xi Zong initially made a decision to pick up the eastern wall and supplement the western wall. From the sword pavilion and Yinping, where there is still enough power, he transferred five thousand troops to help Lutou Pass.
But when the speeding messenger hadn’t left for a long time, he once again ushered in Lin Shenhe, the deputy envoy of the line to the north, and his party, as well as the battle under Nanzheng in Xingyuan Mansion, under the command of Yang Fugong. The Sanguan Xingying camp collapsed, and the benevolent Xichuan Army was defeated by another bad news.
Tang Xizong, who was extremely angry and anxious at the scene, suddenly developed a wind syndrome and his whole body twitched and his mouth was drooling. He leaned on the throne and could no longer speak; and then, following the reality that he had stopped for several days, The wave of escapes that had ceased in Chengdu has become intensified.
But this time, even the generals and officials who guarded the gate would inevitably take off their obvious robes and get mixed in, and disappeared.
—I am the dividing line —
In the Palace of the King of Chu in Jiangling City, it also ushered in the first bathing day on the third day of the birth of a newborn; therefore, it is also known as one of the ancient customs of "washing three" and "baptizing children." Therefore, in the courtyard that has been renovated early, any objects that may affect and hinder the newborn have long been cleared, and large and soft blankets and curtains are used to spread and surround it.
And on the carpet outside the curtain floating in the warm spring breeze, children’s clothing, accessories, toys, and other gadgets of various colors specially sent as gifts are piled up like a mountain. And as a reward to witness the guests and female praises, and the gifts of female appearances, the "laundered money" shining with exquisite patterns and gold and silver colors was spread on the silk cloth.
This is also one of the contemporary customs. The baptism of ordinary people’s homes is to entertain the guests who come to greet and congratulate guests with gnocchi and soup (similar to tangyuan or dumplings). In addition to the basic banquets, some laundering money will be specially made for blessings and blessings.
In the old palace hall, during the birth of the prince and the prince, they will also give away the Splendid Compilation Group, carved pots and bowls of gold and silver, gold and silver fruits, gold and silver coins, silver leaf seats, Gold and silver collars and so on are made in-house. Of course, the Taiping Army will not engage in these vain heads, and just take the newly issued gold and silver coins as gifts.
At the same time, the old day palace will invite contemporary distinguished scholars to write poetry blessings for the newborn. Just like Li Qiao and Zheng Ming of the previous dynasty, there are "The Full Moon Serving System for Princess Changning on the Birthday of Zhongzong", and the "Song Ye Anle Princess Full Moon Serving System" by Du Shenyan and Shen Quanqi.
In the Taiping Army’s chief governor, similar roles were started by Yang Shigu and Luo Yin, the highest-ranking civil servants in the governor’s office, and Pi Rixiu and Lu Guimeng, who were the most talented in contemporary literary circles, were responsible for the end; facing Zhou Huaian. Holding the children with Cao Hongyao in their hands, it is a grand gathering of poem solitaire chanting full of blessings and full of beautiful feelings.
(Of course, the most famous "baptism ceremony" in history occurred during the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. An Lushan, a generation of great anti-thief and super dramatist, exhausted all means to recognize Yang Taizhen as an adoptive mother, and used it exclusively in the court. Colored silk wraps the obese and fat four to walk down, and it is an absurd farce by the palace maid to throw money on it.)
Standing among the ranks of high-level female families, Zhang Hui, the wife of the third wife of Zhu Lao San, who had just been presented with a pair of red-eyed, green-scaled and red-gold dragons. While holding hands, he has become much more cheerful not long after entering school, and Xiaoer Yaoxi (Zhu Yougui), who is full of curiosity and restraint; looking at the crying newborn baby, he made another secret decision in his heart.
