Zhao Ziqiang's performance in the Battle of Xiaobeishan sounded the alarm for Zhou Shixiang. In order to avoid disagreement between the generals of the town in the future, or the disagreement with the governor and the governor, resulting in the failure of the war, Zhou Shixiang decided to establish a field army in Guangxi to integrate the troops of various towns in Guangxi, clarify command orders, unify the powers, and avoid the phenomenon that the generals fight on their own and disobey the orders. At the same time, they also prevent the generals from holding troops and respecting themselves.

The Guangxi Army consists of the fourth town, the fifth town, and the newly formed wolf soldiers. There are more than 31,000 soldiers, 5,200 guns, 83 cannons, several weapons such as knives, spears, bows and arrows, and wolves. There are also 725 iron armor, 100 cotton armor, 652 war horses, and 1,360 slow horses. The newly integrated Guangxi Army is currently the main task of annihilation of the Qing army of the Guoan headquarters on the front line and blocking the Guizhou-Guizhou border.

In view of Shizhong's outstanding performance in the Battle of Xiaobeishan, Zhou Shixiang ordered him to serve as the commander commander of the Guangxi Field Army, and the system of officers and soldiers in the following towns remained unchanged. The fifth town was still under the command of Shizhong as the commander commander.

Yu Shizhong was very loyal to the Ming Dynasty and the Yongli court. Since his expedition to Guangxi, he wrote three letters to Zhou Shi to invite him to enter Yunnan as soon as possible, so he appointed Yu Shizhong as the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Field Army. There were many debates within the military commander's office. Zhao Sihai, who suppressed bandits in western Hunan, even went back to Yuanzhou specifically and said bluntly that he used the surrendered general Zhao Ziqiang as the governor of the Expeditionary Army, which was already a shameless brothers. However, because the Expeditionary Army used troops to Annan, this move was somewhat similar to exile, so the brothers reluctantly recognized it. But Yu Shizhong was just a vestor school before, and he was from Zhejiang. How could he just overwhelmed Shao Jiugong and jumped to serve as the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Legion?

In response, Zhou Shixiang's reply was that those who are talented should be valued regardless of their background. If those who have made great contributions are not rewarded and those who have made mistakes are not punished, how can they establish an army and how can the whole army be returned to their hearts?

He also told Zhao Sihai privately that Yu Shizhong was loyal to the Ming Dynasty, but our Taiping Army was also a soldier of the Ming Dynasty, and we were also a member of the Ming Dynasty. How could we not allow those who were loyal to the Ming Dynasty to occupy a high position in the army?

Compared with Shi Zhong who was promoted to the commander-in-chief of the Legion as a voyage school, his old brother, Shao Jiugong, no longer served as the general of the Fourth Town, but was replaced by his deputy general Wang Youxi. At the same time, the Guangxi Governor's Yamen moved to Nanning, and Liuzhou was changed to the headquarters of the Guangxi Governor's Yamen. The former General of Hu Ben, Wang Xing, the head of the Thousand Town General of the Thousand Town, was still under the command of the Guangxi Governor. The future mission of the Thousand Town is to wipe out the native armed forces in the south and western mountains of Guangxi under the command of the Guangxi Governor's Yamen. In other words, the Thousand Town will mainly engage in bandit suppression for a long time, so that the Guangxi territory will be essentially subordinate to the Ming throne. Shao Jiugong, the Guangxi Governor, will also become a true governor in the future, and its main energy will be focused on restoring production, resettlement of disaster victims, recruiting refugees, and establishing local governments in Guangxi.

In terms of power alone, the power of the governor Shao Jiugong has dropped a lot. Before, he led the Taiping Army in Guangxi as a governor, and captured the military and political affairs of Guangxi. Now, he can only manage the local governments and only has the power to command the tenth town that has been transferred to Guangxi garrison troops. This cannot be said to have been deposed.

However, Shao Jiugong did not feel much disappointed about not being able to serve as commander of the Guangxi Legion. Instead, he felt like a thousand pounds of relief, and his heart fell like a big rock.

It is important for people to be self-aware. Shao Jiugong is well aware that his talents are limited, he has more to rely on his weight and lacks in progress. This is a rare quality in normal times. However, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, the Taiping army is fighting against hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the southwest. It seems a bit inappropriate to rely too much on his weight. If he could be more bold in the battle of Xiaobeishan, Wu Mazi would not die in the battle. If he pushes forward, Gao Jinku may not be defeated in Dushan Prefecture. In short, Shao Jiugong believed that he could not lead the army. If he really wanted him to continue to preside over the war in Guangxi, he might make some mistakes. It was actually Shao Jiugong's suggestion that he would give the Guangxi Field Army to Yu Shizhong, because he also felt that Yu Shizhong was better than him.

Shao Jiugong readily handed over the Fourth Town to Deputy General Wang Youxi, and then brought a group of subordinates from the yamen to congratulate Yu Shizhong, who was the commander of Rongsheng. All the supplies in Liuzhou were sealed and allowed to be accepted by Yu Shizhong, and he did not take anything away. After the handover, he left Liuzhou by boat and went to Nanning alone to take office.

After Yu Shizhong became the commander-in-chief of the Guangxi Army, he took seven days to integrate the various departments. After a batch of newly transported medicines from Guangdong arrived in Liuzhou, he commanded the fourth town and the fifth town launched an attack on the Qingyuan line Ministry of State Security.

The establishment of the Taiping Expeditionary Force and the Guangxi Field Army took a lot of energy from Zhou Shi, and even postponed the strategic deployment of the originally scheduled entry into Guizhou to annihilate the Qingping Prince Luo Keduo in early April.

Zhao Ziqiang led his troops to Qinzhou on a naval warship. When Yu Shizhong led his troops to attack Qingyuan Prefecture City, a Juren suddenly came to Yuanzhou. The Juren brought a book to Zhou Shixiang, titled "Military Artifacts".

Zhou Shixiang was not the Juren who met first, but the book "Military Artifacts" he read first. After reading it, he slapped the table and asked someone to bring the Juren who presented the book in immediately.

This juren is Cheng Hanbin, a scholar from Huguang who had just returned from Beijing at the beginning of the year. Cheng Hanbin originally wanted to go back to his hometown in Hubei to visit his parents, but Hubei was in chaos due to the invasion of the Kuidong army, and the water and land transportation were inconvenient. Therefore, Cheng Hanbin turned to Baoqing Prefecture, Hunan, and after inquiring about the situation of the Taiping Army in Hunan, he went straight to Yuanzhou.

On the way, Cheng Hanbin was several times called to be captured by the Taiping Army, but he heard that he was going to Yuanzhou to join the Taiping Army General, and the Taiping Army in various places opened a convenient door for him. Guo Dengdi from the Ninth Town heard that a lie who went to Beijing to participate in the Qing court examination was coming to join the Taiping Army, and even sent someone to escort Cheng Hanbin all the way to Yuanzhou. This move greatly increased Cheng Hanbin's favor for the Taiping Army. Cheng Hanbin also saw the suffering of the people of Hunan along the way and remembered it in his heart, thinking that he would make a comment to the "thief scholar" after arriving in Yuanzhou.

After arriving in Yuanzhou, the soldiers escorted by the Ninth Town sent Cheng Hanbin to the Military Commander's Mansion and returned to the garrison. The blind Li was the one who was in charge of the guards of the Military Commander's Mansion in Yuanzhou. When he heard that a juren came to surrender, the blind Li was also curious. The Taiping Army had never received any scholars from the Qing dynasty area to surrender (the surrender at the city is not counted), so it was rare that a juren took the initiative to surrender.
