Chapter 705: It is easy to beat Manzhou, but it is difficult to beat Tang Sanshui

Since the fall of Guangzhou, officials from all over the country have been worried every day and are restless, fearing that a large and peaceful gang of Taiping bandits will come from the city gate after a night, and they will make their own heads move, which will also turn the wealth they have spent all their efforts to accumulate into the treasures of others.

Fortunately, there were heroes in the country. After the powerful general Wu Liuqi, another hero appeared in Guangdong, but the Yuan Deqing guarded Tang Sanshui. This person was very good. He killed Hu Quan, the early thief leader of the Taiping gang, with a mere 800 soldiers, and defeated the bandits. The bandit scholar was really scared by Tang Sanshui and could not stand in Luo Ding, so he had to lead the remaining thieves to abandon Luo Ding City and flee in a panic. It was a pity that God was not open to his eyes and actually asked the bandit scholar to escape from death. He captured Xinhui City like a blind cat hitting a rat, and since then he became a major concern for the Qing Dynasty.

King Pingnan died, King Jingnan surrendered to the thief, General Hahamu, Governor Li Rutai and others died one after another. For a moment, all the civil and military officials in Guangdong were frightened. Those who surrendered to the thief, those who abandoned the thief, and those who died waited for death, no one dared to have the courage to fight with the thief. In the end, the imperial army that had been waiting for thousands of hardships was defeated by the thief, and Prince Jian Jidu became the second prince of the Qing Dynasty to die after Nikan.

The arrogance of the thief and the losses of the Qing Dynasty have never been seen since the founding of the country! Just when everyone said that Shaozhou and Nanxiong would be out of protection, and officials of the two prefectures were busy packing up their fine lines and preparing to escape, good news came!

The person who reported the victory was Tang Sanshui, who was promoted to deputy general of Zhaoqing. He personally killed the bandits and persuaded the surrender in the camp and made a bold statement that "I was born as a Qing Dynasty person, but died as a ghost of the Qing Dynasty." Then he carried the coffin and personally supervised the soldiers in charge of the troops. From early morning to dusk, he was still standing in front of the formation without retreating, shouting "killing the bandits". His subordinates felt that the general was brave and everyone fought to death. He actually defeated the bandits with few victory and severe damage. He won Renhua and Yingde, and killed thousands of heads at the thief, and saved Shaozhou, a north-shangzhen town in Guangdong, in one fell swoop, which made the Taiping bandits no longer look north again.

It is reported that a saying among the bandits was left, "It is easy to attack Manzhou, but it is difficult to attack that bastard Tang Sanshui!" Some people even said that when the leader of the Taiping gangster, Xiucai, cried and cried when he heard the news of the defeat in front of him, he said to the thieves around him: "If there were one or two Tang Sanshui in the Qing court, wouldn't we die without a place to die!"

No one knows whether the rumors are true or false. After all, no one can confirm them personally to the thief scholar. However, one thing is clear, that is, the appearance of Tang Sanshui was like the Dinghai Dinghai needle in the East China Sea Dragon Palace, severely suppressing the arrogance of the Taiping Kou. It not only saved the Qing Dynasty and wanted to enter Guangdong to settle Shaozhou, but also successfully locked the Taiping Kou in Guangdong, so as not to have the opportunity to wander north to Jiangxi and even southern Zhili.

After hearing about the heroic deeds of Tang Sanshui, the Emperor of Qing Dynasty personally wrote the name of Tang Sanshui after Pingfeng, and was generously awarded the title of Guangdong Admiral. Later, he was given the title of Prince's Young Tutor and wrote the four words "Da Qing Tongliang" to Tang Sanshui.

It is even more popular among officials from the capital. The court intends to regard Tang Sanshui as the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. If this matter is true, then Tang Sanshui will be the first Han person to be promoted to governor since the founding of the Qing Dynasty, and it is even more enviable than the governors who came out of the Han army flag.

For the officials of Shaozhou and Nanxiong, the existence of Tang Sanshui is the guarantee of their lives. For example, the Bodhisattva who is still effective in the Buddha, is the great savior around them. If it were not for Tang Sanshui, Shaozhou and Nanxiong would have been defeated by the Taiping gangs long ago. How could they have their official positions and status today? How could they be able to maintain their own family and furniture?

The officials of both prefectures were scholars who studied hard on the books of sages. They were grateful to the young master Tang. Weng Tiren, the magistrate of Qujiang County, even established a ancestral temple for the young master Tang at the county middle school temple. They also set up a family temple at home, and prayed that the young master would live a hundred years of life and live in Guangdong forever. In this way, the magistrate Weng would be rich and prosperous in this life and no longer have the danger of losing his life.

However, starting from June this year, the Taiping gangs, who had been quiet for more than a year, began to take action against Shaozhou again. They plundered the countryside, surrounded the county town, and shouted that "the city would be massacred if they didn't open the city." As a result, Tang Sanshui led his troops to attack again, fought three times in succession, and defeated the Taiping gangs who came to attack. They even built hundreds of bandit heads to form a Jingguan at the junction of Shaozhou and Lianzhou to show their shock.

This move really worked. For more than half a month, no trace of bandits was found in the counties under Shaozhou. The Taiping gang on the opposite side became honest again as before. This made everyone think that the Taiping gang had gone to Guangxi and Huguang, and his arrogance was once again arrogant, and his military advance became more and more powerful. This time, the officials of the two prefectures who turned to Guangdong would definitely go north to the north. The thought of the rumors that the bandit army had feared Admiral Tang in the past were full of confidence, and they believed that as long as the Shaofu was in one day, the bandits would not dare to peek into Shaozhou.

A few days ago, news came from the capital that the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty was preparing to personally enlist in the Guangdong bandits. The proclamation for the attack on the Guangdong bandits had arrived in Shaozhou, which made people excited and excited to read it.

"Since ancient times, only virtues lived in the world. Shang Tang was a man from Dongyi and inherited the Xia Dynasty. Although King Wen was a Western Rong, his destiny replaced Yin. My Qing Dynasty started in Shuobei and rose in Liaozu. At that time, the Ming Dynasty was confused and had lost its virtue. My Taizu rebelled in Fengtian and suddenly had all Liao. Taizong successively fought with the enemy and took over Mobei. When the enemy was trapped in Beijing, Chongzhen died, the regent king then promoted the righteous army and entered the pass to revenge. Therefore, the enemy was appointed as the leader, and the Chou died. The great achievements were brilliant. Isn't the destiny belonging to the Great Qing Dynasty? However, the Guangdong thief Zhou Shixiang was originally a scholar who was not of the title of scholar. He did not think of the great Qing Dynasty, but gathered rogues and beg for chaos and riots. He entrusted the former Mingzong king to live in a fake title, gathered thieves and gathered thieves and killed all directions."

However, just two days after the proclamation for the attack on Guangdong bandits, Shaozhou Prefecture once again found that the Taiping gangs in Lianzhou were gathering on the border, and the momentum was even stronger than before. The Seizuo sent there sent a message saying that the thief scholar was going to lead the Taiping gang to the northern expedition. This news surprised Shaozhou and Nanxiong prefecture officials. Before the emperor arrived, the Taiping gangs took the lead in the northern expedition. If they really wanted to gather a large army to fight, Shaozhou was the first to be the first to be the brunt. Although the young master was brave and powerful, he was a living Zhang Fei in this world, but after all, the troops were less than ten thousand, and the enemy was large and we were few. If we couldn't defend it, wouldn't everyone have their own lives?

While they were worried, officials from all over the world received an invitation from the Admiral Tang Sanshui, asking them to gather in Shaozhou Prefecture to celebrate their 40th birthday.

The army of Taiping Countries gathered and was about to attack. How could the Admiral still have the heart to celebrate his birthday?

All the officials were confused, and then some smart people analyzed it, saying that the Admiral was confident and did not fear the thieves at all. He knew that we were worried and worried, so he used this name to make everyone feel at ease. After this analysis, the officials immediately understood that the Admiral wanted to make everyone feel at ease. So, they prepared heavy gifts one by one and rushed to Shaozhou with big and small carriages. The Admiral celebrated his birthday, but there was no reason to go empty-handed. (To be continued.)
