It is rainy in the south of the Yangtze River. After a few days, the temperature is extremely low, making people feel that the spring cold has not yet passed. The drizzle in Tongxiang County has been falling for several days. The rain stopped on this day, but the fog was filled and it slowly disappeared until noon. Looking up at the sky, there was no sun. It was so drizzling all day, until the night fell.

At the hour of the 19th, Tongxiang County was silent, and there were occasionally a few guards walking around the city walls to keep warm. The white paper lanterns hanging on the city gate tower did not stay shaking in the cold wind, emitting a hazy light in the night. The people in the city had already fallen asleep, and most of the defenders had fallen asleep. The rains caused muddy roads for several days, and Jiaxing Prefecture City was in front of the north. Tongxiang defenders did not expect the Taiping Army to come. However, the Qing army in Tongxiang did not know that just yesterday, the Sixth Town of the Taiping Army had conquered Jiaxing and captured Fubiao guerrilla Liu Chengyin alive. In order to capture the Qing army near the left and the Qing gentry, Su Na, the general of the Sixth Town, ordered Liu Chengyin and dozens of Qing military academies to behead him.

The army was very fast. After conquering Jiaxing in one fell swoop, Suna immediately ordered the Ding Brigade of the town to march towards Tongxiang, while the C Brigade attacked Pinghu. He himself led the A Brigade and the B Brigade and the Zhenwei Headquarters to attack Haining Guard in order to wipe out the Qing army in Jiaxing in one fell swoop. After that, the whole town had no worries and led the entire town to Hangzhou and seize Zhejiang in one fell swoop.

Ding Brigade attacking Tongxiang was a brigade formed by the sixth town in Suzhou, with the surrendered Qing army and the newly formed Zhejiang army. Wang Xingzhi was originally the army of Zhang Huangyan of the Zhejiang Army, and his father Wang Deyuan was a general of the Dongjiang Commander Mao. Later, Mao was killed. The generals in Dongjiang Town fought for power and profit and killed each other. Wang Deyuan was unwilling to fight with his colleagues, so he fled from Dongjiang and settled in Laizhou.

After the Jiashen Kingdom Reform, Wang Deyuan moved south with his family and later joined the troops of Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi, to fight against the Qing Dynasty, and was appointed as deputy general. In the third year of Yongli, Wang Deyuan died in Zhoushan, and his troops were taken over by Wang Xingzhi. Later, he participated in the anti-Qing wars of the Zhejiang Army, and was deeply appreciated by Zhang Mingzhen, the Marquis of Dingxi and Zhang Huangyan. Wang Xingzhi had the help of using spears. When he was in Jinxia with Dingxi, he was guided by Duncan, a Taixi man, and trained a gun formation of more than a hundred people in the army.

After the Zhejiang Army was defeated by Yanping's army, Wang Xingzhi followed the Shangshu Zhang Huangyan, and the remaining troops of the Zhejiang Army were rescued by the Taiping Army. After the Taiping Army conquered Nanjing, most of the Zhejiang Army was reorganized into the Yangtze River Navy, and the remaining few soldiers who were good at land war were incorporated into the Taiping Army towns. Wang Xingzhi was transferred to the sixth town stationed in Suzhou as a brigade school. He was appointed as the deputy general in the Zhejiang Army, but the Taiping Army's brigade school was only 1,000 households, which was a high-ranking and low-ranking vocational school. However, the Zhejiang Army had no complaints. On this side, the Taiping Army was much stronger than the Zhejiang Army, and on the other hand, it was because the Taiping Army was a life-saving benefactor of the Zhejiang Army. Of course, Zhang Huangyan's coordination also played a major role.

After the Taiping Army's Jiangbei War, Zhou Shixiang had been integrating the surrendered troops of the Qing army, the Zhejiang army and the Zheng army, striving to be institutionalized. The most important point was to abolish the official ranks and duties of the original army, and the Taiping Army was the basis. For example, even if the general was a general, in the Taiping Army, they could only take the military positions of the Taiping Army as the basis. For example, Wang Xingzhi, there were many deputy generals who were changed to Qianhu brigade schools, and there were even more generals who served as deputy brigades.

Wang Xingzhi's Ding Brigade accounted for about two-thirds of the Qing army and the Zhejiang Army, and the remaining one-third were drawn from the other three brigades. Originally, Suna was not satisfied with the force of the military commander's mansion to force him to a brigade school from Zhejiang Army, but after seeing Wang Xingzhi and seeing his spear, Suna didn't say anything else.

There were only a few hundred Qing army in Tongxiang, and Xie Junzhi, who was stationed in the Qianzong, was originally from the Yanping vassal state. Last year, before the Zheng army entered the river, this person brought two ships and several firearms to surrender to Zhejiang Governor Tong Guoqi, and revealed the Zheng army's strategic intention to attack Nanjing on a large scale. However, although his intelligence was important, it was too late, so Tong Guoqi did not use it heavily, and only gave him an air rank of Qianzong. If it weren't for the fact that the Qing army in Zhejiang was really useless, Tong Guoqi would not have given him the opportunity to lead troops.

Although Tongxiang is a small town, it is also built strongly. Because there are guerrilla Liu Chengyin in the north to guard Jiaxing, and the rain has been raining for several days, Xie Junzhi did not think there was any danger in Tongxiang, so he rested in the house with his wife Liu early.

The main general was like this, and the people below followed suit. The defense of Tongjiang City was very careless. When the soldiers walking around to keep warm on the city wall yawned, under the city gate, there were a few figures crawling towards the city wall in the night. They moved very slowly and moved forward little by little. When they approached the city gate, several figures rolled in vigorously, then put down a few medicine bags, and then rolled around.

With a loud "boom", the city gate was exploded. The Taiping Army, who had been lurking outside the city for a long time, immediately jumped out of the hiding place and rushed into the city before the defenders could react.

The Qing army, who came back from the explosion, shouted: "The Ming army has entered the city, the Ming army has entered the city!"

An officer led the soldiers to block the city gate, but there was no way to resist the Taiping Army that rushed in like a tide. It was quickly chopped to the ground. The shouts of shouts, curses, and the sound of swords and swords echoed in the city of Xiaoxiaotongxiang.

Xie Junzhi and his wife Liu rested in the room, and the explosion woke him up. Decades of military career made him jump out of bed instinctively. Before he could light the light, he put on his robe instinctively, and took a big knife and jumped into the yard.

Outside the courtyard, countless people were rushing towards them, and shouting everywhere. In the dark night, there were countless Ming troops coming. Xie Junzhi shouted to them while wearing the armor from the personal soldiers who had arrived after hearing the news: "You all come with me!"

These personal soldiers were brought out by Xie Junzhi from Zheng's army and were very loyal to him. He did not hesitate when he heard the order, and they all followed Xie Junzhi with a knife.

Xie Junzhi did not go towards the shouting of killing, but headed towards the south city where the movement was less. Unexpectedly, he just rushed out of the yard, but someone grabbed the back of his arms. When he looked back, his wife Liu grabbed her eight-year-old daughter and chased her at some point.

"Master, don't leave us mother and mother!"

Liu clutched her husband's clothes tightly, while her daughter cried and hugged her mother. Seeing this, the personal soldiers wanted to come forward to help the mother and daughter walk together, but Xie Junzhi stamped his feet and shouted, "Let go quickly, the Taiping Army is coming here, I don't care about you anymore!"

After saying that, he swung his knife and cut off a large piece of clothes, broke free from Liu's head, and rushed into the night without turning back. Liu grabbed it tightly, and her husband couldn't help but cut off her robe. He immediately had no way to exert force. He leaned back and sat on the ground and cried loudly. His daughter was also so scared that she cried loudly. The mother and daughter looked at the direction where Xie Junzhi disappeared, and were in pain.
