"This is Luo Jingpeng's name is Chongxin, Sichuan Province, from Chengdu, Sichuan," Zhu Qingzheng, wearing a yellow robe, pulled a white-faced scholar out in the official office of Ganzhou City, introduced to a group of men with braided books: "Our new Ganzhou prefect of the Song Dynasty, turned out to be my secretary, who had just arrived the day before yesterday, haha."

As he said that, he introduced his guests to Luo Jingpeng: "These are the Tiandihui patriots in the seven counties around him. Those are the Tiandihui brothers in the Nanchang area. Let's talk to Luo Taishou about the uprising and the Qingxiang. Xiao Luo is also a veteran of the Qingxiang. I am only responsible for military affairs now." Zhu Qingzheng smiled.

"General, when will you attack Nanchang and defeat Jiangxi? We people have been exploited by the Qing demon for a long time and have suffered too much!" The representative of Nanchang behind them could not bear the book of nature and shouted.

Zhu Qingzheng didn't say anything. He thought for a while and said with a smile: "Every step by step is still needed. But Jiangxi must be from the Song Dynasty! You and the prefect talk first."

When I came out of the living room, Li Wenmao, the commander of the Sun and Moon Legion, was waiting for him to repay: "General, the seven iron chains blocking the Ganjiang River have been pulled up. Please go and inspect."

"Okay!" Zhu Qingzheng immediately walked towards the door, and ordered as he walked: "How about the defense of the fortress camp outside the city?"

"According to your orders, deep ditches, high walls, antlers and mines are everywhere." Li Wenmao reported to Zhu Qingzheng, then frowned, and screamed with a long breath.

"Big Brother Bait..." Hearing that such a title came from behind, Zhu Qingzheng's pace of walking towards the horse slowed down. He slowly turned around and looked at the brothers and subordinates of the Tiandihui who were born in the Cantonese opera martial arts, knowing that he would say something difficult to say with such a gang title.

"Wenmao speaks." Zhu Qingzheng waved his hand.

After looking at the guards around him, Li Wenmao sniffed his mouth, as if a fish bone was stuck in his cheeks. He looked at Zhu Qingzheng and said, "Brother, why should we guard this little Ganzhou? This is equivalent to taking half of Jiangxi! It is the right way to follow the Ganjiang River north to take Nanchang to occupy the entire Ganzhou Province! You have also seen that the Qing Yao is vulnerable."

"This is Your Majesty's strategy." Zhu Qingzheng was stunned for a moment and said seriously.

"Your Majesty?" Li Wenmao shook his head and sighed: "Your Majesty is afraid of his hands. We attack Yunnan and Guizhou in the west, and destroy the man of Kunshou in the north. No one is our Taiping Army... The Song army's local rival... If we don't go to attack Hunan and capture Guizhou, we go straight to the Yangtze River to compete for power, but we will trek through land to attack Ganzhou Province?"

"Do you think I didn't tell him?" Zhu Qingzheng said in his heart, but his face was speechless: "I believe in Your Majesty, I obey Your Majesty, just like obeying God."

In March 1854, Zhu Qingzheng, a powerful general under the Guangdong thief Zhao Kuo, led 8,000 Changmao from the south to invade Jiangxi of the Qing Dynasty, Dingnan, Quannan, Longnan, Xinfeng and Nankang counties successively fell. In April, Zhu Qingzheng occupied Ganzhou, the capital of Ganzhou Prefecture in the southern part of Ganzhou. The Qing court was shocked, but it was shocked and did not vomit blood.

Because the Western Expedition Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was tossing and rushing around the Qing Dynasty in the Yangtze River Basin, relying on the Yangtze River waters, it was like a Sun Hou Book. Xianfeng mainly vomited blood Yang Xiuqing, and with the speed of the Zhaokuo bandit gang in Guangdong, he was a good bandit.

Of course, the emperor was not anxious, and the officials in Nanchang, the capital of Jiangxi, were so anxious that they rolled all over the ground. This province was like a piece of fat. Changmao had just besieged Nanchang for a few months and could not get out. The Guangdong thieves came to rob him again. However, Jiangxi itself was not capable of force and could only be forced to do so.

The strategy of the Qing Dynasty officials to treat the rebel army and local governments was always: "to use blockade as a suppression, defend and wait for assistance." When encountering bandits, defenders from all over the country sent letters to the provincial capital, and then waited for others to attack or withdraw. Although the Taiping Army was resisted by Jiang Zhongyuan, the number one war god of the Qing Dynasty, under the superior forces of the Taiping Army (6,000 Changmao vs. 16,000 Qing soldiers, 6,000 outside the city, 10,000 outside the city), they did not take down Nanchang City. However, they also snatched all around Nanchang City.

Now this beautiful woman in Jiangxi has been harassed by Zhao Kuo, a bandit in the south. The Qing Dynasty officers and soldiers once again raved and retreated to Nanchang, and then asked for help.

Xianfeng naturally had no time to pay attention to them, and Nanchang officials placed all their hopes on Zeng Guofan, who had won several great victories.

Now Zeng Guofan has drawn his powerful general, Army Commander Taqibu, led 6,000 Hunan soldiers to urgently assist in Jiangxi and attacked Zhu Qingzheng.

The strategic importance of Jiangxi is self-evident.

Not only did Zhao Kuo salivate, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Hunan Army were also drooling against Jiangxi.

Food and pay were a pillar of war, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the barbarian war. In this era, there were no Patriot missiles, Global Hawk drones, and F22 Raptors. It can be said that food is soldiers, food is victory, and food is the key to life and death in the war!

Sun Shu said: "If the army has no anchor, it will be destroyed; if there is no food, it will be destroyed; if there is no accumulation, it will be destroyed."

Some people also say: "The success or failure of the battle and defense is a matter of being a good example, and the life of the three armies is actually related to food. There are those who have enough food and lose, and those who have no food and can survive for a long time will never be heard."

As a bandit-like political system, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom registered 240,000 residents in Nanjing at this time, and more than 100,000 non-combat women and children. Moreover, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was promoting "communism" in Tianjin: confiscate residents' private property and return it to the sacred warehouse, split the families, split the family into camps, halls, and implement the consumption supply system of Niu Bi Chongtian.

With so many people and such a strict division of occupations, in a productive society like the late Qing Dynasty, it can be imagined that the economic capabilities of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were instantly destroyed.

A year after occupying Tianjing, a food crisis occurred in Tianjing. For example, the women's restaurant only paid 4 taels of rice per day, and the people could not eat enough.

So Yang Xiuqing, general manager of God Company, was eager to get the grain production land - Chairman Jesus' brother was no longer in charge at this time.

Jiangxi, Huguang (Hunan and Hubei) and Anhui are grain-producing areas where wealthy people are jealous of in troubled times.

Moreover, these areas are connected by the Yangtze River, and grain transport can be transported directly to Tianjing along the river. This is why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom launched a Western Expedition when it was surrounded by the Qing army city.

The Northern Expedition was to become emperor, and the Western Expedition was to "harvest food".

It is "grain harvesting is not occupation, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is still the idea of ​​traveling enemies. The cities will be thrown away as soon as they are fought, as long as the food and grass are not ground, so Jiang Zhongyuan, the god of war, guarded Nanchang.

Originally, there were only 6,000 Taiping Army who fought against Nanchang. He launched various Qing soldiers in the city and trained 10,000 Qing soldiers to defend the city. There were 10,000 Qing reinforcements outside the city to "watch" (watching the Taiping Army attacking the city, but they didn't go up, they just used the power of the Qing Dynasty to intimidate Changhai). In this way, the Taiping Army did not come specifically to attack people. This also blew up the Nanchang wall several times, and Nanchang was almost done. But in the end, because Jiang Zhongyuan was too brave, one person was worth 100,000 Qing soldiers or 1,000 Hunan Army. 6,000 Changhai outside the city was still defeated, and only a few boats and grain was collected and transported away.

Zhao Kuo definitely doesn't want to think of the Taiping Army as a joke. He is not a great man, he is just a scum of the underworld. He can only make national strategies according to his professional qualities--that is, he will take every step of the way, and if he occupys it, he will treat it as his own territory to defend it.

It's completely a hyena style that pees around the edge of his territory.

Because Zhao Kuo did not have a sacred database and did not engage in advanced "communism" and "consumption supply system", all the expenses of the army were obtained by him. It was impossible for him to be the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as he said, "the whole nation is soldiers, and there is no place to "bandit" - Guangdong is located at the edge of the Qing Dynasty, and he was determined to take over the grain-producing province to expand his strength.

The question is which one to take and how to take it.

The great man once said: "Under the conditions of a strong enemy, no matter how many troops he has, within a time, there should be only one direction of main use. There should not be two."

In the words of a military strategist, we summarize the judgment of the above great man: "At any place and any time, we must strive to form an advantage in the enemy's strength."

Should I attack Hunan or Jiangxi? Zhao Kuo will not attack from all directions, he will focus his main force at one point and attack it!

The top books of the army would not have the effect of the Hunan Army as a variable in the astronomy of the brain. After defeating Hunan, they immediately entered the Yangtze River water system. Then they could use the Yangtze River and its water system to move back and forth in the hearts and consciences of the Qing Dynasty; one could recover Guangxi along the way because the Guangdong Uprising was successful. Guangxi was already full of war and there were uprisings every day, and the Qing soldiers were unable to suppress it.

On the contrary, if you attack Jiangxi, there are not many waterways in southern Jiangxi, and only after taking Ganzhou can you rely on the Ganjiang River to enter the Yangtze River system. This is a bit troublesome in the attack in the early stage.

"What I value is the Yangtze River Water System. Do you really think this is an advantage?" Zhao Kuo pointed to the Qing Dynasty map of the kindergarten level and said to his subordinates: "As the emperor, I can say that you have 100% promoted you by me. I do not doubt your combat skills, courage and loyalty at all. However, I cannot help but say that the Yangtze River Water System will be the battlefield for the decisive battle between me and Qing Yao, but I think you have overlooked one point in strategy. At this moment, it is not me who competes with the Qing Dynasty for hegemony, but me, Qing Yao and Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for power!"

This statement immediately made Dou Wenjian, Zhu Qingzheng and other generals unable to close their mouths, but when they closed their mouths, they could only nod.

The Romance of the Three Kingdoms is by no means as simple as the anti-Qing and restoring the Ming Dynasty.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was a landlord's book nation in the Song Dynasty, and he protected the Song Dynasty because he was in the north of the Song Dynasty.

At this time, except for time travelers, everyone in the Qing Dynasty was questioning whether the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would replace the Qing Dynasty and have the world. It was definitely not as Zhao Kuo knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had no kingly appearance.

Therefore, the Qing Dynasty's arrangement of rebels was mainly based on national defense. The problem was that there were two: the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Song Dynasty, one in front and one behind, one in large and one in small.

If you have troops, how do you deal with it?

Therefore, the Qing generals led by Xiang Rong all believed that they should first destroy the biggest and most fundamental one and wipe out the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Song Dynasty will naturally be over. In this era, doing business with foreigners is not a big deal. Just like when you buy a Vietnamese bride in the future, no one cares about this.

And if you divide your troops against Zhao Kuo, what if you are attacked by Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Song Dynasty? Putting troops into the middle of two rebels will be completely dead.

Therefore, the heavy troops of the Qing Dynasty still surrounded Tianjing and handed Zhao Kuo over to the Qing Dynasty to encircle.

The problem is that it was rotten in the early morning, and the local Qing soldiers were unable to deal with Zhao Kuo. If Zhao Kuo didn't attack them, they would give gifts and bribe Sakyamuni. In the history that Zhao Kuo knew, it can be said that the Guangdong Red Head Ship still played a role. The entire coastal attack was all about asking the Guangdong Red Head Ship to provide firepower or transportation, but now Guangdong has been captured by time travelers---the other places are naturally worse. To attack Guangdong? It is surrounded by weak and poor provinces, so don't even think about it!

But what will happen if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom nominally permitted the status of the vassal state of the Song Dynasty?

"What will happen to them if we have a border with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Don't tell me, Yang Xiuqing will present flowers to us!!" Zhao Kuo directly passed this question to his subordinates, and his reply was deep silence.

They were absolutely not afraid of the Qing soldiers, nor did they know that Zeng Guofan was practicing "The Magical Art of Necklace", but they were not afraid of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom they betrayed.

It can be said that their victory was on the shoulders of the old boss, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they knew the power of the Taiping Army.

If the Song Dynasty mainly attacked Hunan and attacked the north and south to destroy the local Qing army, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Song Dynasty immediately had a barrier. Zhao Kuo was called emperor with the unofficial emperor, he would likely be attacked by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom - this is in line with all the Chinese people's understanding. The uprising on this land has been for thousands of years, and everyone has rich experience. They all know that there can only be one head in this place! The other heads and his family, the mother and child, and the family, only one word death!

"No one is talking?" Zhao Kuo snorted coldly, pulled out a cigar from Yunsong Box Book in front of him and lit it. He took a deep breath and vomited a cigarette ring.

"Yunnan and Fujian have no strategic value or strength. The Qing Yao in Jiangxi is insufficient. There is a local regiment training in Hunan, with sufficient troops. If you attack Hunan, it will be that our Song Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will attack the Qing Yao. If you attack Jiangxi, it will be the benefit of the fisherman who fights the Qing Yao and the Heavenly King." Zhu Qing was not easy to speak.

"That's right." Zhao Kuo raised his legs to the conference table, snatched a cigar and said, "We already know that not long ago, the king of heaven was repelled from besieging Nanchang. He had already begun to attack left and right, fighting with the Hunan Qing demon Zeng Guofan to death. This is equivalent to the Nanchang Qing demon fighting against the Heavenly King for us, and the king of heaven held the Hunan Qing demon again... The Qing demon Zeng Guofan's hind legs, when will he not easily take Jiangxi at this moment?"

"But if Zeng Guofan is really good at fighting, we will definitely be hit by his reinforcements to Jiangxi!" Dou Wenjian said.

"That's right." Zhao Kuo sneered, "But don't forget that it's me, Qing and Tian Sanjia, Hunan Qing Yao must be on guard against the Wing King on the Yangtze River, and will not do his best to deal with us? If he goes all out to help Jiangxi, we will invite Wing King to confiscate his hometown in Hunan!"

As he said that, he frowned and said, "What I am worried about now is what will happen after taking Jiangxi and facing the Yangtze River."
