Basically, Gao Maoqing, a newly emerged as the Jiangxi Observer, had some tricks. He not only recruited and pacified the local armed forces and miscellaneous forces distributed outside the Taiping District to control the area, and successively defeated Zhu Congli of Chongren and Huang Tianhan of Xincheng and other rebel troops.

In the end, he took advantage of the situation to unite him and attacked Yuzhang, the city of Hongzhou. The remnants of the powerful and powerful people in the city took advantage of the time to attack and assassinate the remaining commander Pan Yu, who went to the merchant's house to attend the banquet, and Li Fengcheng, the deputy commander; he wanted to take the matter of fighting for the outside world.

However, after these two old rebels were shown, most of the Taiping soldiers did not collapse. Instead, they were left to the camp to summon the remaining troops who shared the same hatred of the enemy, and counterattacked the city wall to clean up. Finally, before these rebel armed forces and local Uttar regiment coalitions arrived, the hasty aggression was suppressed.

It has been eleven days since the attack was finally broken before the broken city siege guarded by the three Taiping Army battalions. Then the remaining Taiping Army soldiers did not collapse immediately. Instead, with the help and support of Kaishi slaves and servants who were several times more than they were in the city, they retreated into the relatively intact sub-city (inner city) (inner city) to defend.

However, these rebel coalition forces did not stop. While taking the opportunity to rob Hongzhou City, they massacred and liquidated the people who assisted and exchanged with the Taiping Army, they also sent people to set up checkpoints on the river with coalition boats to temporarily block the ship transport and transport channels outward from the Gan River Basin.

But I didn't expect that the main force of the Taiping Army would return from land; so I was beaten to a great loss at the city and ran away in a row.

There is more than that. In the south, there is also a man who claims to be the governor of Jizhou Wei Quanshen, who has raised the rebellion; he has occupied Xinxin, Chongren and other places between Fuzhou and Jizhou. In addition, in Jizhou, Yuanzhou and Qianzhou, there have been various disturbances and attacks on Taiping Army strongholds.

After learning about this, Zhou Huaian couldn't help but sigh. After all, he got up early and captured too quickly and was too easy. He was far away from the base area and lacked time and manpower, so he had no time to clean up the place. It seemed that this return journey would be a bloody road with people.

Zhou Huaian led the alliance to about 10,000 people, but after a series of rotation and supplements from Jiangdong Road, he collected a large number of soldiers from other rebels. After choosing to select strong soldiers to enrich the army, the number increased several times and finally maintained at about 30,000 people.

Later, while several groups of troops were divided into the south to guide the strategy and led the elite troops to Huainan, they were able to expand and collect a lot of people in the local area. Therefore, in addition to the people and Ding Zhuang who had returned the return one after another, the team that was operating together with Zhou Huaian this time has grown to more than 50,000 people.

Therefore, the more than 20,000 people who were transported away with water were eliminated, and the new soldiers carefully selected from Jiangdong, Zhejiang and Huainan were now accompanied by Zhou Huaian on land, and there were more than 30,000 relatively experienced mixed troops. As long as you let go of your hands, it would be enough to suppress and clean up the situation anywhere.

After all, compared with the initial military service outside the Ridge, there was obviously a dilemma of insufficient manpower management; this time, Zhou Huaian had more than 2,000 new and old members of the "Three Detachments" trained in Jiangdong and Huainan, about 100 comprehensive teams, and tens of thousands of troops as a guarantee of execution.

"According to the Xuanzi No. 3 Plan, for areas that have occurred repeatedly, level three cleaning measures will be implemented..."

“…”

"For key areas that have fallen, implement a first-level cleaning plan..."

"All adult men on the list of five types of molecules will be immediately executed after investigation, census, and work, and the execution order is unanimously agreed by the three captains of the team. They only need to report afterwards."
