Chapter 989 Seeds run away from death (2)

Therefore, just after the sun rose again the next day, the soldiers and civilians trapped in Luchuan City could clearly see the vast fleet sailing towards the upper reaches of the Zhongjiang River again, as well as the large group of people and flags that were passing along the Wenshui.

The Luchuan defenders, whose courage and mind were captured by him, were afraid to leave the city to test the generals and most of the camps that were vacant. Just on an inconspicuous car and ship on the river, Wang Chongba, who was sitting all over his body and looked majestic, was also listening to the overnight report from the pioneer troops on the land.

"Zhonglang, Gongjing Prefecture in Rongzhou has opened the city; then Weiyuan, Asahikawa, Kazuoyi, and the defenders of the various cities have also abandoned the guards and fled one after another, and are about to be organized into a new garrison group."

He nodded slightly. After all, after two years of traffic in smuggling and selling salt, Rongzhou and other places with interests have already been penetrated into sieves. Therefore, if they cannot be taken down relatively easily, it will be an accident. Then he saw the navy warrior report:

"But, in those places far away from the river bank, there were still some obstacles; mainly because of the military farming officials left by Gao Renhou, most of them had household registrations to go up the mountain to set up a barrier to resist."

"But it is reasonable. At least compared to those who are in corpse and have no seats, this Gao Envoy is still quite responsible and responsible. The household registrations of these military farms are all the discrete people recruited by the Xichuan people in the past. In terms of guarding the countryside and vital interests, they are much more dedicated and effective than those rich and wealthy families, the Tumen and Township Warriors who are rich and wealthy families."

Wang Chongba said slowly without surprise:

"However, we must pay special attention to them. This should not be our main goal. Just spend some time blocking and cutting off the way out between the mountains and ensuring good control of the river."

"yes.."

The navy guard continued:

"The pioneer teams from Jingyan County, Lingzhou and Yinshan County, Zizhou have reported that there are more than a thousand salt depots and hundreds of miners in the local area, and they are willing to join our army to think that they are subordinates and front-wheel drive..."

"There is no need for front-drivers or something. We must prevent someone from doing something randomly in the name of the Taiping Army, harming the local area and causing trouble. We ordered each team to select a few loyal and reliable people as their guides as appropriate, and leave the rest on the spot for the rear team to take over and reorganize them into labor service, and choose the auxiliary soldiers."

Wang Chongba decided to do it after just thinking for a moment:

At this time, a clutch with a bright and exclusive flag was quickly released from the river, and then leaned against the large ship with a central army flag; a wooden clip wrapped in tarpaulin was sent to Wang Chongba, and another guard on duty read it out:

"The vanguard ship who arrived in Luohu Town, Jiazhou came to report that an incident occurred in the city of Longyou, the city of Leshan (now near Leshan City). The local tea gang and mule horse gang led a large number of merchants and merchants attacked and imprisoned the officials of the old dynasty, and sent people to negotiate with the vanguard ship..."

"But what do you mean by asking?"

Hearing this, Wang Chongba was slightly motivated.

"They are willing to offer the city to join our army, but they just need the Zhonglang to issue a handwritten letter to protect their wealth..."

This man said again:

"Have you seized a good opportunity?"

Wang Chongba raised his eyebrows and said:

"I'll give those people a notice. The scope of protection is limited to the capital of the city, nor does it include the slaves they belong to; they must move to a foreign land afterwards. If this is not acceptable, just wait for the army to accompany the old dynasty to burn together!"

As the number one figure in the Taiping Governor's Office's naval army sequence, he seems to be very glorious; but he just has the advantage of taking over early and experienced first-mover. After years of great development and expansion, there are many candidates who can replace him in the Taiping Governor's Office, which is full of talents.

Therefore, he will not use the opportunity to make achievements on his own and further possibilities in the existing order to endorse the speculative behavior of these people who have never met before, and will contaminate his credit book with defects and stains that should not have.

Then, his command turned into several messengers who boarded the ship and rushed to the upstream along the land route. Then, Wang Chongba continued to whip to the left and right:

"Although the progress is very good at the moment, the troops of all departments shall not be slackened or sloppy. We should steadily advance with the aim of guarding arrogance and impetuousness to ensure that we master the strongholds along the river and the city walls, protecting the waterways and transfer grain channels, which is the first priority and priority."

Although with these orders, the Taiping Army camps that entered Nanchuan all slowed down the momentum of siege and turned to consolidate the river channel and water and land transportation lines on the spot; however, the officials and civilians who fled from Nanchuan spontaneously crossed the interception of Mei, Jian and Qiong Prefectures on the edge of the Chengdu Plain and brought the news to Jinguan City.

So after finally coming coups and rebellions, the Chengdu people who had settled down heavily once again set off a new wave of large-scale escape; however, this time their escape direction changed to Maozhou, Pengzhou, or Hanzhou and Mianzhou to the west.

The small court in Xichuan, located in Chengdu City, was also shocked by various rumors and rumors that were flooding the market and the growing popularity of the day. Even at the urgent court meeting, someone once again proposed the suggestion of serving the Emperor's Holy Driving and leaving Chengdu to visit the Xishan City.

However, whether it was Zheng Changtu, Zhang Jun, Shangshu Pushe Du Rangneng, Shangshu, and the Minister of Personnel, Tongzhang Shiwei Zhaodu and other court officials; or Liu Jingxuan, the lieutenant of the left and right guards of Xin Jianba, and Ximen Junsui, they did not lose their position because of this. Instead, they persuaded Emperor Xizong of Tang, who was a little restless, and soon came up with a general countermeasure:

It was ordered that Liu Jurong, the general of the Left Guard, who had restored his original position, led Chengdu Tongjie, who had turned against him in front of the formation and the Long, Jian, Han and Mianzhou soldiers and horses, about 20,000 people, to move south to defend the Wenshui rush between Shuzhou and Meizhou, in Xinjin City, which was believed that the camp in the south corresponded to the front line of the thief power.

The other part of the king-supporting troops from Wei, Feng, Mao and Peng were concentratedly dispatched to the intersection of Tuojiang River and Mianshui in the northeast of Chengdu, and at the exit of Jintang County where the river flow was crossed by Fenyuan Mountain and Tongguan Mountain. It was set as the east camp and Li Shouzhen, the first hero in overcoming difficulties, was the chief commander of Li Shouzhen.

He also ordered Li Maozhen to lead more than a thousand Xichuan Town soldiers who stayed at Jieya to move to the other side of the five battalions of the Shence New Army led by Shence General Dou Xingshi. From the Wei and Maoqiang soldiers who were stranded in Hanzhou, they selected more than a thousand Zhuang cavalry to station in Shuangliu City between the two camps, and were assigned to the two new lieutenants and named Yi Congdu.

He also opened warehouses and released grain to help the people and recruited strong men to repair the city yard. For a time, while working hard by the ruler and his ministers, he quickly stabilized the panic of the people around Chengdu and even Yizhou, and showed a confident and leisurely corresponding attitude.

However, this situation did not last long. The reinforcements from the Dongchuan side that they had been waiting for had not arrived for a long time, but they waited for the bad news that the suspects of the flag of the thief army were found in the east of Lutouguan, the gateway between the East and West Sichuan.

This news was like a huge rock stirring up thousands of waves, and it exploded like the sky collapsed and the earth cracked. The monarchs and ministers were dizzy and speechless for a long time. In the end, Emperor Xizong of Tang, who was still energetic, initially decided to pick up the east wall and repair the west wall. He dispatched 5,000 troops from Jiange, Yinping, who had spared his strength, and rushed to Lutouguan to help.

However, before the speeding messenger had walked out, he welcomed another bad news that Lin Shenhe, the deputy envoy of the Transportation Transportation, and his group, and the battle under Nanzheng City that had just broken out in Xingyuan Prefecture. The Sanguan Camp under Yang Fugong was defeated, and Gao Renhou's Xichuan Army was defeated and another bad news was that Gao Renhou's Xichuan Army was defeated.

Emperor Xizong of Tang, who was extremely angry and anxious, suddenly developed wind symptoms and his whole body was twitching and his saliva was flowing. He leaned back on the throne and could no longer speak. Then, with the reality of stopping the journey for several days, the wave of escape that had stopped in Chengdu became increasingly rampant.

And this time, even the generals and officials who were guarding the gate could not help but take off their obvious robes and get into it, and disappeared.

——I am the dividing line—

The Chu Palace in Jiangling City also ushered in the first day of the third day of the birth of a newborn; therefore, it is also known as one of the ancient customs of "washing three" and "baby washing ceremony". Therefore, in the courtyard that was newly renovated early, any objects that may affect and hinder the newborn had been removed, and were spread out with large fine and soft blankets and curtains.

On the carpet floating outside the curtain in the warm spring breeze, various children's clothes, accessories, toys, and other gadgets specially sent as gifts were piled up like mountains. As a gift to the guests and women present, the gifts of the women were spread on the silk cloth with exquisite patterns and gold and silver colors.

This is also one of the contemporary customs. The baby-washing gifts for ordinary people are to entertain guests who come to greet and congratulate them with dumplings and soup cakes (similar to dumplings or dumplings). When a high-ranking family with a status is still in addition to basic banquets, they will also specially make some baby-washing money to pray for blessings and benefit from it.

In the old palace, the imperial palace would be distributed to the Jinxiu Group, gold and silver carved pots, bowls, bowls, gold and silver fruits, gold and silver coins, silver leaves, gold and silver skulls, etc. Of course, the Taiping Army would not do these stupid things, just take the newly issued gold and silver treasure money as gifts.

At the same time, the old palace would also invite famous scholars of contemporary times to give poems and blessings to newborns. Just like Li Jiao and Zheng Yan of the previous dynasty, they wrote "The full moon banquet of Princess Changning on the birthday of Emperor Zhongzong", and "The full moon banquet of Princess Anle on the New Year's Eve" by Du Shenyan and Shen Quanqi.

A similar role in the Taiping Army's Grand Governor was Yang Shigu, who had the highest status in the civil service of the Governor's Office, with Luo Yin in charge of the beginning, and Pi Rixiu and Lu Guimeng, who were the most famous in the contemporary literary world, were responsible for the ending; a grand event of poetry recitation full of blessings and beautiful feelings.

(Of course, the most famous "Babying Ceremony" in history took place during the Tianbao period of Emperor Xuanzong of Tang Dynasty. An Lushan, a great rebel and super dramatic spirit, recognized Yang Taizhen as his adoptive mother through all means, and specially wrapped the obsessive, fat and fat man around in the palace, and let the palace maids throw money at him.)
