    The city of Shanghai fell in one day. Wu Jianzhang, Songtai Dao of the Qing Dynasty, and Yuan Zude, the magistrate of Shanghai, were killed. More than 2,000 green battalion Qing soldiers and more than 4,000 new officers were trained in bravery. More than 2,000 people were killed or injured, and the remaining 4,000 people surrendered.

    During Lian Yong's gang leaders, such as Mu Guandao from the Guandao Gang and Xie Yinglong from the Ningbo Gang, they actually ordered their gang members to immediately take off their Qing army hats and wrap the red cloth headscarves around their heads when the city was breached.  , transformed into the Taiping Army.  They welcomed the Taiping Army into the city and led the Taiping Army to chase the Qing Army everywhere. Their motivation was much higher than when they were the Qing Army, but their uniforms and attire of the Qing Army did not look very stylish.

    The gang members in Lian Yong suddenly rebelled, leaving the Qing army even more at a loss. Wu Jianzhang, Yuan Zude and other officials wanted to escape from the city in disguise and hid in the foreign rentals. On the way, they were intercepted by Mu Yinghong, a female general of the Guandao Gang.  Take it.  Yuan Zude pretended to be a teacher and wanted to get away with it, but he had previously coveted Mu Yinghong's beauty, proposed marriage to Mu Guandao several times, and wanted to marry Mu Yinghong as his third concubine. Yuan Zude would recognize Mu Yinghong even if she turned into gray.  At that moment, Yuan Zude was caught, and Wu Jianzhang was also brought out.

    After the city of Shanghai was defeated, Chen Yucheng led more than a thousand troops into the city. Mu Guandao, Mu Yinghong, Xie Yinglong and other rebel generals sent Wu Jianzhang, Yuan Zude and others to meet him.  Chen Yucheng immediately ordered his men to chop off the heads of Wu Jianzhang and Yuan Zude, and then went to the Western King's tent outside the city to pay the order.  King Xi had already decided how to deal with Wu and Yuan, but he did not issue an order to deal with gang leaders such as Mu Guandao, Mu Yinghong, and Xie Yinglong. Chen Yucheng had to order someone to take several gang leaders outside the city.  Go and meet the King of the West.  Chen Yucheng was afraid that the thousands of gang members would cause trouble again, so he ordered the Taiping Army to surrender their weapons first and keep them under guard on the spot. As a result, these gang members became prisoners of the Taiping Army.

    When Mu Guandao and others saw that the Taiping Army had surrendered their weapons and treated them as prisoners, they immediately quit.  They clamored to see the King of the West and seek justice.  Chen Yucheng immediately led his troops to suppress them, and coldly warned Mu Guandao and others that if they dared to resist the heavenly soldiers, he would not care about another battle!  If you want to see the King of the West, how to deal with these gangs will have to wait for the King of the West's general order.

    At that moment, Mu Guandao and others were sent to the camp by Chen Yucheng to meet Xiao Yungui. Mu Guandao and others complained about Mu Yinghong along the way, saying that the information she brought back from the King of the West was not accurate.  clear.  They could become high officials in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but now they are treated as prisoners.  Mu Yinghong bit her thin lips tightly, her eyes were red, and she allowed others to criticize her, but she did not dare to say a word.  In my heart, I just hope that Xiao Yungui can keep his word.

    Xiao Yungui returned to the camp and was very tired from fighting for days.  After eating something.  He leaned on the seat and rested for a moment. He suddenly thought of Li Xuanji's charming appearance in his mind. His heart was like a monkey scratching his head. He coughed lightly and ordered the guards outside the tent to find Li Xuanji. He just said that he had something to ask.  she.

    After a while, Li Xuanji arrived.  After Xiao Yungui ordered his personal guards to go out, he asked her to sit down at the bottom and looked at this talented woman in the Taiping Army with evil intentions.  Li Xuanji was seen wearing a tight-fitting red shirt with a round neck and tied around her waist with a piece of red and green silk crepe.  And open the skirt on the left side, which is called "Zuo Ren". This is the difference between Taiping Army women's clothing and Manchu women's clothing.  For the convenience of riding and walking, there are slits on both sides of the hem of the dress, and underneath is a pair of light blue lace large-leg pants.  Li Xuanji's exquisite figure was wrapped in an ordinary outfit, and paired with Li Xuanji's charming face, Xiao Yungui could only swallow his saliva.

    Li Xuanji felt embarrassed when he looked at him. She lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes and asked in a low voice, "Why is His Highness the King of the West looking for his subordinates?"

    Xiao Yungui said with a playful smile: "It's okay, I just want to ask you how the situation is in the women's camp? And how is your situation?"

    Seeing King Xi's frivolous smile, Li Xuanji felt flustered and did not dare to look up at him. She only said: "Everything is fine. My subordinates are managing the women's camp with Sister Xiuying. Recently, they have collected an additional one thousand three hundred and twenty  The three female soldiers are all lonely women who have fled. They have been registered and reported to the women's camp. The subordinates The subordinates and sister Xiuying are very good. During the day, they practice martial arts, wash clothes, cook, etc. with the sisters in the women's camp.  Transporting food, taking care of the wounded soldiers, at night I led everyone to learn how to read, collect shoes, and weave cloth, everything was fine"

    Xiao Yungui saw that she was talking more and more quietly, and her head was getting closer and closer. In the end, Li Xuanji could hardly speak anymore, and the blush on her face made Xiao Yungui fascinated.  He followed Xiao Yungui and leaned forward and whispered: "Sister Xuanji, have you ever thought about getting married? Do you have someone you like? What do you think of me?"

    Xiao Yungui slowly approached Li Xuanji, just like a tiger slowly playing with the prey in his arms. The teasing meaning of his words was obvious. Li Xuanji blushed and did not dare to look up. She was so ashamed that she only said:  : "King Xi, King Xi, don't be like this, it would be bad if Queen Xi found out"

    Seeing her wanting to refuse but welcoming her, Xiao Yungui felt a surge of desire in his heart and said, "She won't know." After saying that, he stretched out his arms to hug Li Xuanji's slender waist. Li Xuanji was very anxious.He hurriedly tried to get out of the way, but Xiao Yungui's big hand held his arm and he couldn't get away.

    Li Xuanji was shy and anxious. Just when she didn't know what to do, the guards outside the tent suddenly loudly reported: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang from Hangzhou have urgent military information sent to them!"

    Xiao Yungui's desire suddenly cooled down, and he cursed in his heart that the military situation had come at a bad time. He stood up, coughed and said, "Send the military situation in!"

    Li Xuanji hurriedly stood up and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the West has important matters to deal with, so my subordinates will leave first."

    Xiao Yungui raised his hand to stop and said: "Wait a moment, let's listen to the military situation together and give me some advice."

    Li Xuanji had no choice but to sit down, but she sat at the last seat in the tent, far away from Xiao Yungui's seat, as if she was afraid that Xiao Yungui would be frivolous again.

    The personal guard introduced the messenger sent by Lin Fengxiang. The messenger delivered a letter sealed with fire paint. Xiao Yungui opened it and read it carefully. After a quick glance, he said with great joy: "Great! Hangzhou City also takes it.  Down!"

    Li Xuanji was also overjoyed when she heard this. She seemed to have forgotten Xiao Yungui's frivolity just now. She stood up and took a few steps forward and asked, "Your Highness, the King of the West, has Hangzhou also been captured?"

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Yes, look, this is a military report jointly sent by Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang. Just the day before yesterday, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and Ji Wenyuan's troops joined forces and immediately began to attack Hangzhou City. Qing Dynasty  The demon imperial envoy heard from the old demon leader that Suzhou had been lost and Jiang Zhongyuan's reinforcements had been repulsed. Li Tingyu returned to Fujian, but reinforcements failed to arrive. Our heavenly soldiers attacked again and abandoned the city that night. Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang pursued and intercepted them.  The town defeated Qing Yao, killed more than 13,000 Qing Yao people, captured more than 10,000 Qing Yao people, and captured the Qing Yao Hangzhou General Du Xing'a, the general Hu Songlin, the head of the Criminal Department Liu Cunhou, etc. Qing Yao Counselor Qin  Ruhu, the county magistrate Ding Guoen and others were killed, which can be said to be a great victory, but it is a pity that the old fox Xiangrong escaped again."

    Since Li Xuanji joined the Taiping Army, she has been working with Hong Yun'er, but she has always served in the women's camp and women's hall.  After finding Wu Sangui's treasures in Yuezhou, she and Yang Dongqing helped Hong Yun'er manage the treasures.  What I have been doing has always been about financial management.  Since the battle of Shapo Ridge in Xiangyin.  After the female battalion brigade commander Hu Sister died in battle and the Queen of the West was almost in danger, the West Palace no longer allowed the female battalion to go into battle. Li Xuanji rarely had contact with the military. This was the first time she saw the military newspaper, and she couldn't help but curiously read it twice.  Eye.

    Xiao Yungui handed over the military report with a smile and said: "Take a look. Later, I will order someone to copy a few copies and distribute them to the generals." At this point, he paused, rubbed his hands and smiled.  Said: "Hangzhou and Shanghai have been conquered, and all the land in southern Jiangsu belongs to me. Okay, okay, now we finally have a place to stay. The next step is to manage this territory well. It seems  I have to meet those foreigners as soon as possible, and then return to Suzhou to lay out the strategy on how to manage the territory. Oh, by the way, I have to go back to Tianjing, so I will be very busy."

    Xiao Yungui said to himself, and Li Xuanji looked at the military report: "Your Highness the King of the West, how about I help you write the military report so that all the armies will know the good news earlier." Xiao Yungui  Hehe smiled and nodded, and immediately Li Xuanji started writing behind the desk.

    At this moment, the guards outside the tent reported that messengers from Chen Yucheng's department in Shanghai City had arrived, and several gang leaders asked to see the King of the West.

    Xiao Yungui didn't know that Chen Yucheng had given him a difficult problem, so he waved his hand and ordered everyone to come into the tent. Unexpectedly, after Mu Guandao, Xie Yinglong and others entered the tent to salute and exchange their names, they started shouting in all directions.

    Xiao Yungui's old face sank, he slapped the table and shouted angrily: "Why are you making such a fuss! Do you think this is a vegetable market? If you make any more noise, I'll pull him down and hit him with a hundred military sticks!"

    Xiao Yungui's voice was as powerful as Zhang Fei's. He immediately suppressed Mu Guandao and others and did not dare to say anything. Only then did Chen Yucheng's messenger deliver two wooden boxes. Xiao Yungui opened them with a straight face and was almost frightened.  I had to sit on the ground to go up, and it turned out that inside were the heads of Wu Jianzhang and Yuan Zude.

    Xiao Yungui calmed down and read Chen Yucheng's military report. The letter mentioned the achievements of Mu Guandao and others in capturing Wu Jianzhang and Yuan Zude. However, Chen Yucheng felt that these gang members waited until the city was broken before they rebelled.  , the intention is not sincere, and is so inconsistent, it will be embarrassing in the future, please ask the King of the West to make a decision.

    After Xiao Yungui read the letter, he ordered the heads of Wu Jianzhang and Yuan Zude to be taken out to the whole camp to watch the command gate. He saw Mu Yinghong looking at him pitifully, and remembered what he said to Mu Yinghong that night.  After that, he comforted Mu Guandao, Xie Yinglong and others with a smile. While he was comforting them casually, he was thinking about how to arrange things for Mu Guandao and the others.  As Chen Yucheng said, after Mu Yinghong was released, she also told these people that if gang leaders like Mu Guandao really wanted to join the Taiping Army, they would have rebelled long ago.  When preparing to attack the city, it was time to raise troops to respond, but they did not do so until the end.It is obvious that the Taiping Army will not rebel unless they gain the upper hand.  To put it bluntly, these people are typical wallflowers. Once the Qing army gains the upper hand, they will definitely rebel again without hesitation.

    These people cannot be reused, but Xiao Yungui will start to govern Shanghai and other places next. These people may have other uses. Just when he was thinking about it, the guard outside the tent reported again: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, outside the camp  There are more than a dozen foreign brothers claiming to be ministers asking for an audience."

    Before one end was finished, the foreigners came again. It seemed that the Taiping Army's capture of Shanghai really pushed a set of dominoes. Xiao Yungui frowned. There were a lot of problems at the moment, how to appease the local forces, how to deal with the foreigners, how to  In terms of managing Sunan and how to deal with Tianjing, it seems that conquering Sunan is just the beginning, and troubles will follow one after another.  To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
