In June of the 29th year of Daoguang's reign, Li Dianyuan and Iktan's troops surrounded Zijing Mountain in two groups, and the war was about to break out.

Yang Xiuqing quickly stabilized the hearts of those who worshiped God through the phrase "Heavenly Father Comes Down to Earth" and called on God-worshippers from all over the country to rush to the Jintian regiment camp.

Iktanbu, however, took advantage of the opportunity and led 500 people to Jintian Town first. Xiao Chaogui quickly gathered more than 2,000 carbon-burning workers, took the weapons that Wei Zheng had made for several months, and suddenly killed the officers and soldiers when they passed by Jintian.

Come out, in this battle, all the officers and soldiers killed fell on their backs, and less than a hundred people fled. The general Iktanbu was killed in the battle, and the God-Worship Cult emerged in this battle with many heroes: Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, Qin Yuegang, Ji Wenyuan,

Zeng Tianyang and others.

After this defeat, Li Dianyuan did not dare to underestimate the rebels, and asked the army to block the exits of Zijing Mountain, waiting for reinforcements. Zhang Guoliang, feeling that the green camp was not enough, rushed to his hometown to recruit Chao Yong with the invitation document.

They waited for two months, and Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui and others took the opportunity to gather the religious people scattered in various counties, divided them into male and female battalions, and competed with the officers and soldiers for the pass out of the mountain.

Pingnan County

When Li Yunzhong learned that the officers and soldiers of Xuzhou Prefecture were restrained by Yang Xiuqing and others, he summoned the main generals in the army to discuss matters and marched to Teng County as previously discussed.

Meng Shengsheng introduced: "I received a letter from Ling Shiba yesterday. They have started an uprising in Xinyi, defeated several encirclement and suppression attacks by local officers and soldiers, and have broken through to the direction of Wuzhou Prefecture."

"Then it's decided like this. The women's battalion, the Boy Scouts, and the rear army will stay outside Pingnan, while the other armies will head towards Teng County and join up with the right army." Li Yunzhong decided.

When Zhang Suimou led more than 3,000 right-wing troops to Teng County, there was no army in Teng County that could compete with them. The magistrate of the county asked regiments from all over the country to practice, and all the people from the inspection department rushed to the county seat. Zhang Suimou worshiped the cooperation of the God Church there.

It was easy to capture various villages and towns.

Li Yunzhong came to Teng County, divided the believers and refugees gathered in Teng County into camps according to the method in Pingnan County, and formed three brigades to join the Chinese army. When he arrived at the county seat of Teng County, the entire army already had one

Fifteen thousand people.

As usual, he asked Wang Gang's second brigade to blow open the city gate, and ordered the right army and left army to rush into the city. Looking at the white smoke slowly rising from the city, Li Yunzhong thought: It's time to rectify the discipline. Thinking back to the rebels in his previous life

Of the military regulations, what I remember most is the discipline song of the Red Army.

The magistrate of Tengxian County rushed to his study when the city was breached and hanged himself. During the street fighting, the left army suffered more than 300 casualties, and the right army charged in front and suffered more than 500 casualties. In the end, some people got jealous and killed everyone on sight.

Robbery and arson in the city.

Outside the city, Li Yunzhong ordered people to suppress all those who participated in the robbery, sentenced them to death, and let the whole army watch. Watching the heads being chopped off one by one, Li Yunzhong thought to himself: When did he become so callous and ruthless?

stand up.

At this time, everyone heard someone shouting at the top of his lungs, "Liu Bang kills Han Xin, Han Xin is going to die...".

Li Yunzhong looked at the man who was about to be beheaded and confirmed that it was him who called him. He motioned to Jinzi and Yinzi to bring them over. Huang Jinwen and Bai Yinwu had been assigned to the fifth brigade, which was the guard brigade, by Li Yunzhong.

"What's your name?" Li Yunzhong asked

"The villain's name is Li Yiwen. He is from Xinwang Village in Dalili. He picked up two ingots of gold ingots during the siege and forgot to hand them over. He was reported by his companions and asked the general to spare his life. The villain never dared to do it again." Li Yiwen knelt on the ground and kowtowed.

, he understood that life and death were decided in this person's hands.

Li Yunzhong felt that he had killed enough people. A total of more than 100 people had been beheaded, so he said: "Since I picked it up, forget it. However, the death penalty can be avoided, but the living penalty cannot be avoided. I will give it twenty more blows."

"Thank you, General. I will change my mind and be a new person. From now on, I will be called Li Xiucheng." The guy who should be called Li Xiucheng knelt on the ground and kowtowed excitedly.

Li Xiucheng? Damn it, I almost killed him.

"After you recover from your injuries, report to me and serve as company commander in the fifth brigade." Lieutenant Li Yun helped Li Xiucheng up and patted the dust on his body.

Li Yunzhong asked someone to copy the discipline song he had written and distributed it to each class. It read:

Six disciplines that every rebel must remember;

First, I don’t take anything from the people, and the people support and like me;

Secondly, if we obey the orders of our superiors, our victory will be more guaranteed;

All third-party confiscations must be returned to the public. Private attacks on local tyrants are not tolerated by the discipline.

Fourth, the buying and selling prices must be reasonable, and hygiene must be maintained everywhere when entering the city.

Fifth, if the borrowed furniture has been used, return it in person and do not lose it;

Sixth, if something is damaged, compensation according to the price must be done immediately;

Su Sanniang read the discipline song in a low voice, and saw that Li Yunzhong's eyes were different from before, and he no longer spoke coldly to Li Yunzhong.

Guilin, Guangxi

Governor Zheng Zuchen had just received the news that Pingnan County had fallen. Less than a day later, he received the news that Teng County had also been captured by rebels. He realized that this rebellion was unusual, so he sent people to continue to inquire about the news of the rebels.

Liga hurriedly sent official letters to Yanjing and the Governor-General's Office of Guangdong and Guangxi, and ordered Admiral Min Zhengfeng to immediately send troops to quell the rebellion.

At this time, Min Zhengfeng was mobilizing the entire province's army to encircle and suppress the bandits. Except for leaving some troops to garrison in dangerous places, the rest were transferred to the front line to suppress the bandits. He was now risking his life. If he did not destroy the rebels before the imperial edict was issued, he might not be able to escape.

As a result of the dismissal and investigation, he heard that the rebels had captured Teng County again, and that a group of religious people from Guangdong had fled to Guangxi. Both groups were approaching Wuzhou. Min Zhengfeng already understood that Wuzhou was in danger. If the rebels were allowed to capture Wuzhou again,

Then he might even have his whole family exiled. He quickly ordered the nearby Green Camp, Tuanlian, and Xiangyong troops to go to Wuzhou.

Soon Zheng Zuchen and Min Zhengfeng received an official document from Xu Guangjin, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi: Wu Lantai, the deputy governor of Guangzhou, had been sent to lead 500 soldiers to Guangxi to coordinate the suppression of bandits.

The prefect of Wuzhou heard that Teng County and Pingnan County were both captured by rebels who blew open the city gates. After the reinforcements entered the city, he personally supervised and sealed the city gates with bricks.

Li Yunzhong led the army to attack Wuzhou non-stop. Before the city gate of Wuzhou exploded, he knew that the government was ready to hold on. Wuzhou is a big city, and the government was prepared. There must be many soldiers and horses defending it. Even if the city was forced to attack, the damage would be heavy. Do it.

If it's not good, they will be defeated by the defenders. After all, Li Yunzhong leads some common people who have never experienced the test of war. The two victories he fought were both achieved when he was several times more powerful than the enemy.

Seeing that more than 20,000 people had surrounded Wuzhou for two days, and the 5,000 soldiers and horses mobilized by Min Zhengfeng were all concentrated in Yong'an Prefecture in the north and refused to leave, this made Min Zhengfeng so anxious that he personally went to Yong'an to urge and summon the generals to discuss the matter.

"Everyone, the traitor army has been attacking Wuzhou for two days. They must be exhausted. As long as our army and the defenders cooperate inside and outside, the traitor army will be defeated." Min Zhengfeng came up and encouraged the generals.

"Admiral, the rebels did not attack Wuzhou, they just surrounded it. They were practicing under the city day and night. The spies can see it clearly." A bearded official said carelessly. He won over the generals.

Echoing voices, they know what their men are like. Let alone fighting, they have never even done regular training, and they have eaten at least half of their free wages from top to bottom. It's okay for them to defend the city, but fight in the field.

It's okay to deal with the refugees, but the people under Wuzhou City are all strong men. With thousands of them trying to rescue them, there is no chance of returning. That's really like a Buddha: I will go to hell to rescue you. What's more, this admiral, the three

They withheld their pay and wages twice, and then asked them to die when there was a war. Of course, all the military leaders were full of dissatisfaction.
