    I don¡¯t know how long Hu Tian and Hu Di have been together. Xiao Yungui was immersed in the joy of the rain after a long drought. Since it was a rain after a long drought, it couldn¡¯t be just a drop. The Xi Wang¡¯s physique was as strong as an ox, which made Xiao Yungui do it all night.  Seven times Lang.  Then he fell into a deep sleep with the beauty in his arms. It turned out that happiness was so simple, it was just a warm bed between his wife and children.

    A call woke up Xiao Yungui. He tried to open his eyes and found that it was already bright.  He gently moved away Hong Yun'er who was curled up like a kitten in his arms. He sat up and found that he also had a sore back. Hong Yun'er's body was also a martial arts body, and she had ten drops of blood every time.  Men always pay more for this kind of thing, so he also feels very tired.

    After standing up and covering his yellow robe haphazardly, Xiao Yungui walked to the door, but Tang Erniu called softly from outside the door: "Your Highness, King of the West, please stand up. There are troops reporting victory over Li Check."

    Xiao Yungui responded through the door: "I know, I will be here soon." He immediately turned around to put on his clothes, but saw Hong Yun'er lazily starting to pull the embroidered quilt on her gums, her snow-white arms  With his shoulders exposed, Hexiang asked with a chuckle, "What's the matter?"

    Xiao Yungui sighed softly and said: "The victory army in Ningbo has reported in. I'll go take a look first. You can take a rest."

    Hong Yun'er shook her head and said: "I can't sleep anymore. I also want to hear the good news." Then she stood up and was dumbfounded. She blushed and said angrily: "It's all your fault that my wedding dress was ruined."  Tear it apart!¡±

    Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment. He looked up and saw Hong Yun'er pouting and holding the white Western wedding dress in her hand, but it was already in tatters and could no longer be worn.  Xiao Yungui laughed dryly and said, "Why don't you put on mine first, and I'll lead the male soldiers away later, and then you and the female soldiers can go back to your room to change into clothes."

    Hong Yun'er blushed and said, "That's all."

    Xiao Yungui quickly dressed up.  He put away his Western clothes, and before leaving, he turned around and said, "Honey, why don't you pack it up today and then move in with me."

    Hong Yun'er put on her close-fitting clothes and was wearing Xiao Yungui's robe. The long robe was dragged on the ground. When she heard this, she smiled sweetly and said, "No, I don't live in a wolf's den." Then she followed.  Blushing, he said: "This kind of thing should be done in moderation. On normal days, we would have gotten up to practice martial arts and work. If there is any situation in the future, I will come to you."

    Xiao Yungui let out a laugh and walked out of the room with a grimace.  This little girl also knows how to play hard to get, and it seems that she will never be full.

    After leaving the room, Tang Erniu came up to him and bowed to him: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Li Jiandian's messenger has arrived. Great victory in Ningbo ah?!" It turned out that Tang Erniu raised his head after saluting.  But he saw that King Xi's mighty beard was missing.  The jaw is clean and smooth.  It's almost unrecognizable at first glance.

    Xiao Yungui touched his chin and said with a smile: "What? Have you never seen anyone shave?"

    Tang Erniu said in a daze: "King Xi, didn't your parents say that you can't leave easily?"

    Xiao Yungui laughed, pretending to be very annoyed and said: "I don't want to. I accidentally burned my beard when lighting the lamp last night, so I have to shave it first. I am already very annoyed, and Queen Xi also scolded me."  King, why do you want to say a few words?"

    Tang Erniu hurriedly bowed and said: "I don't dare, King Xi, take care of yourself. The beard will definitely grow back in a few days."

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "Let's go and read the good news." After saying that, he left first, with a snicker on his lips. This guy obviously shaved for his own selfish reasons, but on the contrary, he pretended to be sad.  Saved a lot of trouble.

    Arriving at the lobby of the Customs Yamen, Wang Kaiyun, Qian Jiang, Lin Qirong, Zhou Lichun and others were all there. Everyone was talking excitedly about the great victory in Ningbo. After Tang Erniu called out that His Highness the King of the West had arrived, everyone sorted out their official duties.  Put on your clothes and head and bow.

    Xiao Yungui smiled and said, "We are all old brothers, so there is no need to be polite."

    When everyone got up and looked at each other, they all looked at each other in shock. Is King Xi¡¯s beard gone?  ?  No one reacted for a moment and looked at Xiao Yungui blankly.

    Seeing everyone¡¯s expressions, Xiao Yungui immediately took a pre-emptive strike and told them with a grimace about how his beard was burned off in the fire last night. He looked annoyed and blocked what Wang Kaiyun and others wanted to ask.  Finally, Wang Kaiyun, Qian Jiang and others also comforted the King of the West, saying that this was an unexpected event, and the King of the West did not need to blame himself.

    Seeing that everyone was no longer paying attention to his beard, Xiao Yungui asked about the war in Ningbo. Lin Qirong handed over the battle report and said: "After Li Jian ordered his troops to leave Hangzhou, he contacted He Wenqing and others from the Lianpeng Party in Zhuji. In total, more than 5,000 Lianpeng Party rebels were obtained.  With the support of the Lianpeng Party, they went to Shaoxing, Shangyu, Zhuji and other places for several days. Qingyao was shocked, and the Qingyao regiment trained local warriors to raise their troops. Among them, they defeated Shan Shao.The Tuan Liang Hong Tou Yong and Simen Xie Jing organized by Xu Xu had the largest number of Tuan Liang Huang Tou Yong. Together with Qing Yao, they stayed in Yuyao, Cixi and other places.  Li Checkpoint then sent troops to Yuyao, and contacted Yuyao hero Huang Chunsheng and others to jointly attack Yuyao.  With the support of He Wenqing, Huang Chunsheng and other rebels, Li Checkpoint swept through Yuyao, Cixi and other places within three days.  Qing Yao and Tuan Lian were defeated and retreated to Ningbo.  "

    Hearing this, Xiao Yungui hummed and asked, "He Wenqing and Huang Chunsheng have made great contributions to this battle. Where did they come from?"

    Lin Qirong said: "Li Jiandian's battle report mentioned the deeds of two people. He Wenqing was in his thirties, named Zhou Zhong. He was a Chinese student and a native of Zhaojiaquan, Zhuji. He had been making a living by practicing medicine before. He practiced medicine and treated diseases everywhere, and he was quite famous among the people.  High, people and villagers everywhere call him the Living Bodhisattva. Before the Battle of Hangzhou, Xiang Rong and others plundered Shaoxing, Zhuji and other places in order to raise money and food. The people were miserable, so He Wenqing used the Lotus Powder Party created when he was walking among the people in his early years.  For this reason, a rebel army of more than 5,000 people was summoned, and they raised the flag to respond as soon as our army marched south. Therefore, after Li Jiandian's troops arrived, He Wenqing took the initiative to contact Li Jiandian, and the Shaoxing victory was achieved."

    Xiao Yungui said oh, and also thought of He Wenqing. Historically, the Lianpeng Party uprising happened a few years later, because historically the Taiping Army did not launch the Eastern Expedition after it established its capital in Tianjing. The Qing army was very powerful in southern Zhejiang, and Lianpeng Party  The party and other rebels did not rise up.  But now that Hangzhou has been conquered and the large Qing army in Fujian is contained in Xiamen, it is reasonable for the Lianpeng Party to start the rebellion in advance.

    Xiao Yungui asked again: "What about Huang Chunsheng?"

    Lin Qirong continued: "Huang Chunsheng is also in his thirties. He is from Huanglibao Village, Zhengxiang, Yuyao. His family is quite wealthy. He likes to practice martial arts. He once fought with evil gentry and local tyrants and lost his left eye. He is a generous and righteous man, and he often robs the rich and gives to the poor.  He was called the King of Little Chuang. There was a severe drought in Yuyao last year, and there were floods this year. Xiang Rongbu Qingyao also urged Yuyao and other places to supply money and grain for the war. The rich government officials pressed hard. Huang Chunsheng cared about the livelihood of the common people as tenant farmers, and donated a fortune for the common people.  I asked the government to halve this year's money and grain taxes. Who knew that the local landowners named Qu, Dong, and Ye would not allow it. With threats of prosecution and punishment, the Yuyao magistrate accepted Huang Chunsheng's donation but regretted it, and still asked each village and household to  Pay all the money and food. In anger, Huang Chunsheng led the tenant farmers in Huanglibao Village to set up an anti-rent bureau. The anti-rent bureaus were established in Liangnong, Cixi Longshan, Shijiudu and Shangyu, with a total of 18. Commonly known as the Yuyao Eighteenth Bureau,  The common people elected him as the head of the general bureau. They fought against the government. Later, Qing Yaojiu gathered local regiments such as Hong Tou Yong and Huang Tou Yong to attack Huang Chunsheng's anti-grain rebels. After Huang Chunsheng's defeat, he moved to Dagang to defend. After Li Jiandian's army arrived, Huang Chunsheng also sent  He contacted the enemy, and then attacked Yuyao and Cixi. This person is quite popular in the local area."

    "What official position is Li Xiucheng seeking for He Wenqing and Huang Chunsheng?" Xiao Yungui asked after listening.

    Lin Qirong read the battle report: "Li Jiandian suggested that He Wenqing could be the general and Huang Chunsheng the supervisor."

    Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "These two have made great contributions, so the official license was issued according to Li Xiucheng's suggestion. What happened next in the battle of Ningbo?"

    Lin Qirong looked at the battle report and said: "After Li Checkpoint conquered Shaoxing, Shangyu, Zhuji, Yuyao, Cixi and other places, the original army of more than 18,000 people plus the two rebel armies of He Wenqing and Huang Chunsheng has reached more than 30,000 people, and there are also nearby  The people surrendered like rain, and when they arrived in Ningbo, there were already more than 50,000 people. There were tens of thousands of people's families. Li Jiandian divided his troops into two groups and attacked Ningbo from the north and the south. Zhang Jingqu of Qingyao Ningshaotai Road, the military commander Chen Shizhang, the British consul Xia Lifu, and the French  Under the protection of Consul Obra and American Consul Brak, they took a warship and ran to Dinghai, while the governor of Yinxian County left the city and fled, his life or death unknown. The urban area south of Sanjiangkou and west of Ningbo soon fell into the hands of our army."

    Xiao Yungui snorted heavily and said: "These foreign brothers are really enthusiastic. They are doing business with us in Shanghai, and they are helping to eliminate demons in Ningbo. They really don't want to let go of both ends."

    Lin Qirong nodded and said: "Exactly, Li Checkpoint said in the battle report that he repeatedly sent notes to the consuls of Britain, France, the United States and other countries, asking them not to help eliminate demons. The Ningbo consuls of Britain, France, the United States and other countries responded one after another, saying that they were doing it out of humanitarianism.  , to evacuate irrelevant personnel from the city is really telling lies with open eyes."

    Xiao Yungui hummed and motioned to Lin Qirong to continue. After all, Britain, France, the United States and other countries still had illusions about the Manchus and protected Zhang Jingqu, Chen Shizhang and other Qing generals. They were also worried that after the city was broken, these people would be killed by the Taiping Army like Wu Jianzhang.  It is difficult to explain to the Manchu and Qing Dynasties. Their approach of trying to please both ends may offend both the Taiping Army and the Manchu Qing Dynasty.

    Lin Qirong continued: "The north bank of the river is the concession area, and the consulates of Britain, France, the United States and other countries are located there. When the Taiping Army attacked the outskirts of Ningbo, the rich and gentry in and outside Ningbo also hid in the concession area. Li checked deep  Knowing that the war situation was not optimistic, Zhang Jingqu and Chen Shizhang would definitely collude with local regiments or pirates to counterattack if they fled. Therefore, Li Jiandian urgently convened the military generals to discuss and redeploy. Then Li Jiandian ordered Huang Chunsheng to take over Heyimen and other placesThe forts demolished by Qing soldiers along the river and the city walls collapsed by artillery fire were repaired; He Wenqing was sent to lead a force to seize Xiangshan, Ninghai, Taizhou and other counties outside Ningbo; Lu Xinlan, who joined the Taiping Army in Cixi, was appointed as the general commander of Ningbo.  Establish defense troops and local officials in the captured counties, implement taxation and grain collection policies in Ningbo and its subordinate counties; get in touch with people who have revolted against the Qing Dynasty in various places, encourage and support them to expand their strength, and cooperate with the army to fight against internal and external enemies  Fight.  In order to prevent local regiments from the Siming Mountain area, including Wu Fanlin in Dalan, Wang Xiaohao in Dalei, Li E and Ying Tingzhang in Zhangcun, from attacking the rear of Ningbo, Li checked and sent two teams with a total number of  More than 5,000 troops and horses guarded Jishigang, Gulin Line and Yinjiang Bailiang Bridge Line.  Soon, the city of Ningbo returned to its original order. Closed shops and businesses reopened, people came and went again in the quiet streets, and even the sound of drums resounded in theaters and bookstores.  Li checked and issued a notice to calm the people, and ordered them to grow their hair long and change their clothes.  Ningbo Prefecture was changed to Ningbo County, and Lu Xinlan, a native of Cixi, was appointed as the general governor, with jurisdiction over 5 counties: Ci, Zhen, Feng, and Xiang.  The Manchu and Qing Customs Supervision and Taxation Departments were expelled, and Zhejiang Customs was renamed Tianning Pass. Our army has taken full control of Ningbo.  "(To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
