Zhu Jinglun is still convinced that because he has visited Baigui, Baigui is really seriously ill and dying.
He has been dead for a long time. In 159, before the Anglo-French Coalition forces withdrew from Guangzhou, he was outside the city under the triple pressure of the resistance and the foreigner emperor.
However, Zhu Jinglun’s birth rewrote history, and he helped recover Guangzhou City, so that Baigui not only died of exhaustion, but was promoted and promoted to the rank, and finally the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi naturally eliminated all diseases.
But this time he was really ill, and he was still stressed and exhausted. When Zhu Jinglun saw him, he found that his heart and lungs were failing.
When I think about this period, Bai Gui is still very helpful to myself. If it weren’t for Bai Gui sitting in the Qing court in Guangzhou to appease "himself", I’m afraid he wouldn’t have been able to merge Guangdong warm boiled frogs into the flag step by step for such a long period of calm, and it would have to be a bloody battle to separate Guangdong.
Without Baigui in Nanshao, the anti-Zhu faction would have taken action long ago. Zhu Jinglun must be passive. Once the challenge is rebellion, the Qing court must mobilize the Xiang army in Jiangnan. At that time, the Xiang army in Jiangnan may not be able to mobilize, but the Jiang Yili department of Guangxi Xiang army must be able to mobilize.
Jiang Yili is also a member of the club. He said, "Little unruly is not harmonious with traveling around the village." In fact, it was the restless youth war in the village that gave him a chance. The Taiping rebels fought against Zeng Guofan in Hunan to form the Xiang army. He signed up for the Xiang army in Luo Zenan, and Luo Zenan valued his brother Luo Zenan. Later, Li Xubin took the place of Luo Zenan. Jiang Yili and Li Xubin did not agree with him. Li Xubin was surrounded by the Taiping rebels. Fortunately, he fought back to the death. The Taiping rebels felt that there was no future in the army, so they abandoned their posts and retired. At this time,
In troubled times, there is always a chance for this kind of warrior. Lao Chongguang was unable to resist the request for reinforcements from the Xiang army at his home in Hunan. At this time, the main force of the Xiang army was in Jiangnan, so Jiang Yili was transferred to help Guangxi, and he set off with 1,500 soldiers from his hometown. He has been fighting in Guangxi for several years, and now he has been the provincial judge of Guangxi, Shidadu, and he has been rushed to Sichuan.

Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi also hated Jiang Yili because of their disagreement with Xiang’s famous Li Xubin. However, they often played against Zeng Guofan. It is said that Zuo Zongtang valued Jiang Yili many times and asked the Qing court to transfer Jiang Yili to him for help. However, due to Zhu Jinglun’s separatist regime in Guangdong, the Qing court kept Jiang Yili in Guangxi.
In the past two years, Jiang Yili has repeatedly returned to Hunan to recruit soldiers. At present, Jiang Yili has 20,000 troops in Wuzhou, and he can send troops at any time. In case of war, Zhaoqing will be Zhu Jinglun’s biggest enemy.
In Nanshao, a group of civil servants recruited 100,000 rural volunteers. On the contrary, a group of Uzbeks posed little threat. I heard that supporting these rural volunteers drove the merchants and rich gentry crazy in Nanshao. Even if Zhu Jinglun didn’t beat them, they estimated that they could toss themselves to death.
However, Zhu Jinglun’s coping strategy is to fight Xiang Yong first. He wants to break up 100,000 Xiang Yong in Nanshao Liandao with one blow, and then let these civilian officials slowly gather the pieces and go to Zhu Jinglun to take this opportunity to attack and fight Jiang Yili in Zhaoqing.
The plan was made long ago and the soldiers were mobilized. The only thing I didn’t expect was that Baigui was dying at this time.
If Zhu Jinglun doesn’t care, he will die.
But Zhu Jinglun still has some hesitation. It’s not that he doesn’t have the heart to feel guilty about Baigui. It’s not that he died early. In Zhu Jinglun’s heart, Baigui was always a puppet traitor who worked with foreigners. This is the national justice, isn’t it? It’s just that he saved Baigui. He still has a little hope. If this guy is alive, he may be able to play a little later.
Therefore, he quietly helped Baigui cure a disease, and the mechanical body wanted to save this degree of disease.
But there was no cure to keep him in a sickly posture, but there was no worry about his life
Save him from making trouble at this time.
Instead of making trouble, Bai Gui gave birth to a resignation. He told Zhu Jinglun that he had no mood to stay in Guangdong. He begged Zhu Jinglun not to oppose the court, but also to wait until he died. He said, please send him back. He wanted to be buried in Beijing with his ancestors after his death.
Zhu Jinglun met his last request and sent a boat to send him to Shanghai, leaving him alone.
Bai Gui left, and then when the provincial alternate officer exam bell rang, Nan Shao Lian Dao Xiang Yong rushed into the border of guangzhou fu.
Zhu Jinglun didn’t play for half a year. He had professional staff officers who had already worked out several coping plans. When he saw Nanshao Liandao Township bravely going out of Shaozhou Prefecture and rushing straight to Fogang Hall, he had a complete set of action plans to stop his main force in the Fogang Hall, while the main force crossed Daluoshan and made a big detour to the flank.
Where has Xiang Yong seen this kind of general battle? Zhu Jinglun’s army also has Xin ‘an and Wukeng armies, which can achieve this kind of strategic organization ability at present. The two armies will directly defeat the so-called 100,000 Xiang Yong and retreat 20,000 new troops just equipped with muskets and artillery. The second army of Xin ‘an, which has completed the training and consolidation, has formed a big Jun Hong, and immediately attacked all the way along Beijiang River to Yingde. The main force has turned around. Guangzhou has already had a navy to make a fire at the dock and they will be transferred to the battle of Jiang Yili, the Xiang Army in Zhaoqing.
At this time, the middle school students in Guangfu Xuegong simply don’t know what’s going on outside. They are immersed in answering questions one by one. Their sadness and hard work during this period make people lament the poor people’s desire to get into the body, which makes everyone forget to eat and sleep. They can learn everything by heart after passing the fourth and fifth grades. Zhou Zheng even chewed on math and math. I can’t say how good it is. Anyway, the teacher gave an example. That’s every symbol in his mind.
When they walked out of the examination room with satisfaction, annoyance or a dying heart, Zhu Jinglun’s army had arrived in Zhaoqing.
Jiang Yili’s Xiang army had already completed the encirclement of Zhaoqing downstream before them, and built the Tuzhai Zhaoqing Prefecture on three highlands. At this time, Gaoyao City was surrounded on three sides and left in the east, but the earliest war started in the south of the city. Because the navy of Gaoyao City, which is adjacent to the south of the city, had a fierce battle here, it was necessary to compete for river control first.
Zhaoqing Port can dock 1,000 tons of ships in the later generations. Compared with the Yangtze River, the Pearl River waterway is more abundant and silted, and the shipping capacity is not serious. Therefore, although the shipping capacity is slightly worse than that of the later generations, the problem of navigating 5-ton ships is not serious. In the preparation period of the first half of the year, Zhu Jinglun spared no effort to pass through the main channel from Guangzhou to Zhaoqing and strengthened the major docks in Zhaoqing, which made his gunboats accessible.
Each gunboat has a displacement of 5 tons and is equipped with one cannon of various types, so that Zhu Jinglun’s navy can crush Xiang Navy’s navy with firepower.
The advantage of Xiang army lies in their number. Jiang Yili built a large number of warships in Guangxi, and the number was as large as two.
One side has the advantage of firepower, and the other side has the advantage of quantity, which makes the water war extremely tragic. From the morning encounter to the night, the Xiang army will never retreat, trying to rely on the advantage of quantity to approach the Guangdong warships to seize the ships in melee or arson. On this side, it relies on the advantage of firepower to form a linear array and collect dense firepower to break the Xiang warships into pieces.
The Guangdong navy didn’t want to fight the midnight oil, and slowly retreated to berth in the Antelope Gorge before sunset, intending to launch an attack again after dawn. After a day of water fighting, they thought that nearly half of the warships of the Xiang army had been sunk. Whether it was an American naval consultant or an inexperienced naval officer, they all thought that the other side no longer had the power to compete with themselves for water control.
But when they just wrapped up the earth in the night and the smell of smoke didn’t disperse, there were two loud noises outside Zhaoqing, and the Xiang army captured two fortresses guarded by Guangdong officers and soldiers
One is Guiding Mountain on the north bank of Xijiang River, which is located in the southwest of Zhaoqing City. The terrain is not high, but it sits in the south of the river bank plain. The river stands out and the river is an isolated hill. If that’s all, it doesn’t matter. But the river is urgent in the south of this mountain, and there is another mountain on the other side of the river.
The mountain on the south bank is shaped like a censer and looks like an ancient tripod. It is called Dading Mountain. The foothills of this mountain protrude out of the river about ten feet. There was a temple called Dading Temple, which is really terrible.
"Gaoyao County Records" recorded that Dading Temple was built in Dading Mountain. In the second year of Yongzheng, the army was established in Kongyu, and the people in Wanxi were ordered to expand and expand. Since then, Daoguang has been added.
Why did the Qing court force the army to expand the temple? It was not because he believed in Buddhism, but because he valued the geographical location here.
Guiding Mountain and Dading Mountain are both deep into the Xijiang River and forced into a canyon called Dading Gorge. Whoever occupies the two mountains will control the Xiajiang River. The cost of the battle has dragged on the Guangdong Navy, but the result is to capture the two mountains. Their water army suffered heavy losses but controlled the Jiangxia. In the end, they won the battle.
As soon as this result woke up, we were proud that the US Navy was an officer and selected excellent officers from the army to be officers. The Navy let them know that the Xiang army also knew how to fight, especially how to fight water.
That night, the naval officer confessed to Zhu Jinglun, and Zhu Jinglun replied that he would beat them well and that was all, and he did not intend to interfere with the officer’s command.
The next day, Lu Haijun’s collaborative landing battle is going to cooperate with water and land to show the battle around two mountains. At this time, a real large-scale battle is really started
Section three hundred and thirty-seven Zhaoqing Battle 1
? Huang Peifang, a scholar in Xiangshan, wrote a poem when he visited Dading Temple in Daoguang for nine years.
The situation in Duanzhou is in a state of control.
Fanyu is embedded in thousands of trees, and rivers flow in the wide places of mountains.
The spring scenery stops, and the west wind is leaning against the building.
At one time, the flute and drum were tilted to Cangzhou in the newspaper reading competition of the Dragon Temple in Qin Dynasty.
Jiang Yili saw this poem on the side wall of a temple facing the river. Jiang Yili felt that this poem was excellent, especially good, especially the sentence "Fan Yu is embedded in thousands of trees and the mountains are wide enough to let the river flow". He wants to set up a cannon on the mountain to seal the river.
He knows that there are ships in the Guangdong navy. He is not stupid. He is an expert. He has fought for more than ten years. He has grown from a restless ranger in the past to a well-known general. Does Zeng Guofan and Hu Linyi dislike him? It doesn’t mean that he has no knowledge. Zuo Zongtang takes a fancy to him, and he doesn’t dislike him because of Zeng Hu. He is a true story.
Since it has long been clear that he stayed in Guangxi to cope with the changes in Guangdong, he didn’t start work for such a long time because he had already found out the strength of the Guangdong army, especially the water army. After he found out that there were many ships and cannons on the other side, he knew that it was impossible to formally fight with the other side on the river. However, Xiang always attached importance to controlling the river and driving the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the isolated city of Nanjing. They knew that Jiang Yili, who had mastered the water control key, would never give up the waterway and let his army be besieged.
Therefore, he has already formulated the strategy of seizing two mountains and controlling the gorge.
Is it the navy’s loss in World War I or his angina pectoris? Those are all my hometown brothers.
He admitted that he still looked down upon the other navy, and the foreigner steamboat was really fierce.
But now that Jiang Yili has taken control of the important place, he thinks he has won the battle for the time being. Then he knows that he needs to stay here and the other party will stop sending people to die unless they don’t want Zhaoqing.
Xiang has always been so good at reversing offensive and defensive positions, occupying a position that makes the other side uncomfortable, and then switching defense from defensive to offensive to destroy the enemy. When they are tired of fighting, Xiang is further occupying a place that makes the other side even more unacceptable.
Now in Jiangxi, the city base is controlled by the Xiang army, and the Taiping rebels still control many places, but mainly in the countryside. Now they are not interested in attacking the Xiang army stationed in the city, so they hide in the countryside to collect grain. It seems that they have forgotten that the Xiang army wants Guangdong Zhu to spend money in Zhaoqing, so Jiang Yili takes Zhaoqing conveniently and then continues to push forward. They need to nibble at each other step by step to consume each other.
Zhu Jinglun has already felt that this war, which consumed the first time, has brought great pressure to logistics.
The waterway to Zhaoqing is smooth, including Zhaoqing City, which should ensure that the Kowloon Stock Exchange can have enough materials, have money and can’t buy anything. The pressure mainly comes from transportation.
In the past, the troops used to travel by themselves, but the scale of the former battle rarely exceeded 10 thousand. This time, the main two armies have entered Zhaoqing area, and there are more troops where the transportation pressure is extremely great. There are still tens of thousands of people in Zhaoqing who need living materials.
It is obviously not enough to rely solely on military transportation. Zhu Jinglun rejected the request of the military supplies department to recruit civilian ships, but told them to hire civilian ships and entrust them to the civil and commercial fleet for transportation, which could save a lot of management power and require some logistics personnel to ship and accept them
At one time, the army threw money at a large number of Guangdong civilian ships and got a lucrative order, which was already at a disadvantage in the competition with western ships. They once again encountered a good year.
In Daoguang and Jiaqing years, there were still more than 1,200 sea-going ships in Guangdong, and as many as 200 to 300 merchant ships sailed to Singapore every year, but now they are almost excluded from this route. The only thing that keeps the scale is more than 300 salt ships relying on salt monopoly protection.
Their ships are small, slow and consume a lot of manpower. These unfavorable factors have finished the competition, but the western ships have been squeezed into the river shipping field step by step, but the British shipping company has opened up the provincial and port transportation industry, and this last way is about to be wiped out.
