The Romance of Empress Dowager Cixi's Scandalous History [13]

page views:1 Publication date:2023-03-24

In the thirteenth chapter, the pursuit of the Taiping rebels was thwarted by the Little Heavenly King's suppression of the Nian Rebellion. Zeng Guofan and Li Shidian, leading a band of fierce generals and soldiers, eagerly scaled the city walls. Following them, Bao Chao, Song Guoyong, and Sun Kaihua also led their troops in. The three surrendered rebels, Hong Ronghai, Lan Rende, and Yang Liugu, already adorned with their official hats, arrived shortly after. Wei Chaocheng, Xiang Daying, and Fang Chengzong, already inside the city, naturally acted as internal collaborators. However, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been destroyed and breached by the government forces. The emperor's uncle, Lai Hanying, and the four kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom—Ren Gan, Ren Zheng, Ren Fa, and Ren Da—were all helpless and awaited their deaths. Only the Loyal King, Li Xiucheng, had made some preparations beforehand. It was said that Xiucheng was a first-rate figure in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He served under the Northern King, Wei Changhui, and repeatedly distinguished himself in battle, and was recommended by the former prime minister, Hu Yibing. The man surnamed Hu, along with Lin Fengxiang and He Zhenchuan, were originally colleagues. The author, considering the characters to be ordinary, didn't elaborate on his deeds, but he introduced Li Xiucheng, who gained the Heavenly King's trust. The previous book states that Li Xiucheng plotted to seize Jiangzhe, and that the Assistant King Yang Fuqing and Attendant King Li Shixian were all directed and instructed by Xiucheng. At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was internally controlled by the four kings of the State Clan, and externally, various armies suffered defeats on all fronts. Xiucheng alone, with great courage, wanted to use a large force to defend Pukou, hoping to provide support from the north and south. The Heavenly King refused. The Heavenly King's reasons were twofold: firstly, he feared that too many troops would divide the forces, and secondly, he feared that Li Xiucheng harbored rebellious intentions. Therefore, while Xiucheng was away, the Heavenly King personally wrote a plaque with the four characters "Eternal Loyalty and Righteousness" for him and summoned him to the capital immediately. Knowing that the situation was hopeless, Xiucheng had no choice but to retreat to Nanjing, defending the isolated city to the death, at a loss for what to do. Xiu Cheng was both a skilled military strategist and a talented writer. I recall him composing two poems while in a besieged city: "Raising a cup to guests, I wield my brush daily, proud to contend for the Central Plains; The moon shines bright on the lake, I wear a green bamboo hat, Frost chills my tent, I wield Helian's sword.
Heroes have always been courageous, No one hesitates to cherish their reputation; I wish to ride the wind and return, The auspicious clouds stretch high above the Dipper and the Ox.
The drums beat loudly without ceasing, I care about the tail of Chu and the head of the Ox; Little did I know that after the sword's aura rises, The autumn dust of the barbarians will still swirl.
The vast land is fortified, A hundred years of life spent alone on the tower; Even a common man has a responsibility for the rise and fall of dynasties, Will I entrust my fame to the flowing water?"
These two poems, expressing Xiu Cheng's aspirations, do indeed reveal a certain ambition. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom declined day by day, collapsing completely, surrounded by enemies on all sides. Shi Dakai dominated Jiangxi, and Chen Yucheng was stationed far away in northern Anhui, unable to coordinate effectively. The nine generals had surrounded Nanjing, making it completely impassable. With the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan having committed suicide by poison, Xiucheng had no choice but to support the young Heavenly King Hong Fu. Together with the Imperial Uncle Lai Hanying, the Left and Right Chancellors, and the Four Kings of the Imperial Clan, they defended the city day and night, daring not to slacken their efforts.
At this time, landmines and artillery had breached Nanjing, and Li Chendian and his valiant generals swarmed in. Xiucheng first removed Hong Fu's clothes and hid him in a civilian house. This Hong Fu was also called Hong Fu Tian. Actually, the character "Tian" is a combination of the two characters for "True King," but due to a misunderstanding, Hong Fu was named Hong Fu Tian. However, that's another story. Having hidden the young Heavenly King, Xiucheng then deployed the existing Taiping army in the city, numbering no less than fifty or sixty thousand, in a series of fortified camps, resisting the enemy step by step. Even as the government troops pressed in like a dark mass, Xiucheng remained calm and composed, defending until the entire army was annihilated. Think about it, ordinary people, once they are ready to fight to the death, will disregard all personal gain or loss. After three days and three nights of fierce street fighting, Xiu Cheng glanced at his troops and saw that only a few remained. The palaces and houses in the city were a mess from the fighting. If they delayed any longer, the young Heavenly King might not be able to escape. So he changed his clothes, riding a mediocre horse himself and giving a magnificent steed to the young Heavenly King Hong Fu. He then rode a fine horse, and the young Heavenly King Hong Fu rode a swift steed. The malaria-like cloth was fed by the emperor, and the emperor was terrified. He was like a snake, its wings gleaming ... By this time, the Ninth Marshal's main force had entered the city and temporarily used the Heavenly King's Palace as their headquarters. However, the Heavenly Kingdom's imperial uncle Lai Hanying, Left Chancellor Lin Fengxiang, Right Chancellor He Zhenchuan, former Chancellor Qin Rigang, Prince Yan Luo Dagang, and the four princes of the Imperial Clan—Rengan, Renzheng, Renfa, and Renda—along with a host of other key rebels, had all been apprehended. Li Xiucheng was also brought in, and they were all imprisoned and guarded. A report was immediately sent to the main camp. His brother, Zeng Guofan, naturally arrived within a few days. At this time, a group of officers who had recaptured Nanjing came to pay their respects to the Ninth Marshal. The Ninth Marshal counted his officers and men, but Li Chendian, who had bravely scaled the city walls, was missing. Gentlemen, where had Li Chendian gone? You must know that this man surnamed Li is as handsome as Fan An, as charming as Song Yu, and only twenty-eight years old. He had long heard that there were many male prostitutes and seductive girls in the Heavenly King's Palace, and he had been drooling over them for a long time. At this moment, he desperately rushed into the city first, and with a wave of his hand, a dozen strong soldiers followed him into the Heavenly King's Palace. Forget about gold and silver, he hurriedly went into the inner palace, saw a woman, and without asking her any questions, stripped her of her clothes and did that soulless thing
. So he was not present at this moment. The Ninth Marshal greeted the officers and then took his brother to the prison to see the key figures who had been arrested. Before he could ask any questions, the guard handed a confession to Guo Fan, and the Ninth Marshal also rushed over and saw that it was Li Xiucheng's confession. The two men read it, shaking their heads and repeatedly exclaiming, "A genius!
A genius! If Hong Xiuquan had recognized talent, the outcome would have been uncertain." After reading, they asked Xiucheng, "Do you still intend to surrender to our dynasty?" Xiucheng laughed and said, "To be fickle like this, is that what a man should be?" Zeng Guofan immediately gave a thumbs-up and said, "A hero!" Then someone took Xiucheng into prison. Here, Commander-in-Chief Zeng Guofan prepared a detailed memorial and used a red flag to report the victory.
Within a few days, the imperial edict arrived: Zeng Guofan was promoted to First-Class Marquis of Yiyong, and Guoquan was promoted to First-Class Earl of Weiyi; all other personnel who contributed to the cause, such as Li Hongzhang who recaptured Suzhou, Zuo Zongtang who recaptured Hangzhou, Bao Chao who repeatedly made military achievements, as well as the officers and soldiers of the land and naval camps, those who fought on the front lines, and those who died in battle, were all promoted.粲胁睿荒翘旃睦钚愠桑耙话喙萃跚祝偶匆惶彖墒资局诘模陨旃ǎ凰刑幼咝√焱鹾楦＃癖嘏杀苣茫皇孤┩9昧苏坏郎馅停劝牙钚愠傻纫桓扇寺恚岢鲂行獭t谙掠幸荒浣粢钚The text appears to be a jumbled collection of characters and symbols, possibly representing a corrupted or incomplete text. It's impossible to translate meaningfully without further context or clarification. Upon receiving this order, Bao Chao did not delay. He immediately led three thousand Hunan soldiers from Nanjing to southern Anhui, met with Xi Baotian, and headed towards Jiangxi. The man surnamed Xi, brimming with confidence, said, "Last night I heard that a group of Taiping soldiers fled towards Yushan. Could Hong Fu be among them?"
Bao Chao said, "Since you're so confident, I'll let you have the credit; I'll provide support from behind.
" Xi Baotian, overjoyed, also led three thousand soldiers, pursuing them day and night. Reaching Yushan, they saw dust rising ahead, knowing there were fleeing troops. He shouted "Hurry!" several times… the horses seemed to leap into the air, and the men moved like they had wings. At this moment, I must pause my writing to briefly describe the fleeing troops ahead. These troops were none other than the Attendant King Li Shixian and the Assistant King Yang Fuqing, among whom was the Little Heavenly King Hong Fu. How did Hong Fu end up mixed in with them? It turned out that the man surnamed Hong had slipped out of Shuixi Gate with Li Xiucheng that day. Xiucheng's horse was inferior and could not escape. They were caught on the spot by Song Guoyong and interrogated and executed. Hong Fu, riding his swift horse, took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention and gave it a whip. The horse ran for thirty miles and arrived at the camp of Li Shixian and Yang Fuqing. He dismounted and rushed inside, where he saw Shi Xian and Fu Qing. He burst into tears. Shi Xian quickly said, "My lord, don't panic. Let's hurry back to Penghua Mountain and try to restore our kingdom." Fu Qing shook his head and said, "The matter is already lost. Rather than fighting in China and suffering from encirclement, we should seek a way out abroad, borrow foreign power, and fight our way back." Hong Fu nodded repeatedly and said, "That's the best option. But which country should we go to?" Fu Qing said, "It must be America. Isn't that American teacher, Robert Bart, our teacher? He secretly helped us when we started our uprising at Penghua Mountain, but he gradually became distant because our Heavenly Kingdom violated the rules of Christianity.
Don't you remember when Ren Gan went to Guangdong? By the time Ren Gan arrived, Robert Bart had already returned to America and was reportedly living in San Francisco. We should go to San Francisco this time, find Robert Bart, and settle scores with him to try to restore our kingdom in the future." Hong Fu said, "That's definitely the way."
Shi Xian said, "Let's cut to the chase. Even if we go to America, we must cross the ocean from Guangdong. We can't stay here any longer. Let's break off our ranks now." He counted his men; the Taiping army still numbered ten to twenty thousand, but their strength was crumbling. They set off the next day, and many fled along the way. When they finally reached Yushan, only about ten thousand remained, like startled birds or fish that had escaped the net. Hearing the approaching army, they abandoned their weapons and fled, wishing they had more legs. Seeing the situation was dire, Yang Fuqing ordered his trusted soldiers to change into embroidered yellow robes, and he himself disguised himself as an ordinary person. He rode a fast horse, carrying Hong Fu, and they fled. Think about it, what happened to those two... The plan was to escape to San Francisco, USA. Later, a triad society emerged in San Francisco, led by a man named Qi Tianfu, which implied great fortune. The triad's name, "Sanhe," is a play on words, combining the radical for water (氵) with the character "gong" (共). This wasn't a fictional addition; a group of students who had been to America understood this. Leaving aside the real Hongfu and Yang Fuqing's escape, let's focus on Li Shixian. Seeing the pursuing army, he quickly assembled the remaining Taiping troops and hastily engaged Xi Baotian in battle. Xi Baotian was incredibly brave at this time; his three thousand soldiers seemed to be full of life. Needless to say... Well, the camp was destroyed, the enemy was scattered, and Prince Shi, Li Shixian, along with Prince Kang, Wang Haiyang, Prince Xie, Tan Tiyuan, and Prince You, Li Yuanji, all fled in disarray, leaving behind a man in an embroidered dragon robe, riding a poor horse, who seemed to be a minor Heavenly King. Without asking any questions, Xi Yutian raised his hand, and his soldiers rushed forward and captured the man in the yellow robe. Xi thought he had struck gold, capturing the enemy's leader, and the rest of the Taiping army didn't pursue, hurriedly returning to camp to celebrate their victory. Then Bao Chao arrived, seeing that Xi Baotian had won a battle and captured the man in the embroidered dragon yellow robe... The Taiping rebels, believing it to be a stroke of good fortune, ordered the man surnamed Xi to escort him back to Nanjing to report their victory. Zeng Guofan, after a brief interrogation, submitted a memorial, the last two sentences containing doubtful words, suggesting a later development. Soon after, an imperial edict arrived, ordering immediate execution by beheading. Despite this, Guofan remained suspicious, and simultaneously dispatched Song Guoyong and Sun Kaihua, each leading 3,000 troops, to meet with Bao Chao, determined to pursue and annihilate the remaining Taiping forces. Bao Chao, however, was a man who preferred action to stillness. He learned that Shi Dakai was still harassing Jiangxi and Hunan, and taking advantage of the momentum of his conquest, he advanced eastward towards Pingyuan. Xidang.
The story goes that after Shi Dakai clashed with Wei Changhui, he suffered the ruin of his family and was left all alone. He no longer cared about the successes or failures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He gathered some Taiping soldiers to establish his own power base, hoping to establish a territory in the three provinces of Jiangxi, Hunan, and Hubei to develop his abilities. However, Jiangxi was heavily guarded by Zeng Guofan's troops, Hunan by Luo Bingzhang's troops, and Hubei by Guan Wen and Hu Linyi's troops. It was like playing chess; he encountered top-tier opponents on all three sides. No matter how he tried to break through, after five or six years of chaos, he ultimately couldn't escape and couldn't establish a firm foothold. He was born amidst a hail of bullets... In the past, he also indulged in some refined pursuits and expressed his aspirations. Five of his poems circulated among the people: "Once I gathered the fragrance of celery to enter the Imperial Academy, and further explored the osmanthus blossoms in the autumn wind; A young man, unrestrained like a crane in the clouds, His past traces drift like a wild goose in the snow. His reputation has scattered like clouds in the north, His writings have now spread throughout Jiangdong; Scholars of different eras should know me, I am only fit to finish this book on a famous mountain.
I do not seek divine favor in the imperial court, I am ashamed that my fame and position overshadow my writings; In this peaceful era, there are no precedents for generals and ministers, In this later era, I have my own principles. Moreover, the official career is full of illusions, How many seas of suffering and few joys; How much better to write works that will last a thousand years, So that a petal of fragrance may remain in the universe forever.
With whip in hand, I boldly march to the Central Plains, Not for enemies." Not for gratitude, but only because Heaven seems bewildered; how can one save the people with bare hands? For three years I've wielded the reins,
my horse weary; the masses, climbing mountains like sick monkeys; my ambition unfulfilled, and the people suffer too; everywhere in the southeast, there are traces of tears. If any general were to share the same fate as Wei Ding, how could he possibly achieve such a feat? How could he possibly achieve such a feat? How could he possibly achieve such a feat? How could he possibly achieve such a feat? How could he possibly achieve such a feat? The emperor's achievements are praised, the royal family's lineage is shrouded in mystery; merchants move their goods like divine tripods, village chiefs return home singing of the Great Wind. Only those who rise from humble beginnings are considered extraordinary; only those who encounter the emperor will not act. The poem reads: "The sweet spring's fragrant herbs have no roots, Liu Yu was once a humble countryman."
While these poems may not be considered particularly skillful, they possess a certain charm and elegance. They depict the beauty of life amidst hardship, a beauty that transcends time and space.

It seems to be a mix of Chinese characters, fragments, and possibly some other random words. A literal translation would be nonsensical. Therefore, a more accurate approach would be to describe the events: "Leaving aside digressions, let's talk about Bao Chao, Song Guoyong, and Sun Kaihua defeating Shi Dakai in Yuezhou. Knowing he fled to Sichuan, but due to the difficult journey, they didn't pursue him. Instead, the three of them, taking advantage of their victory, crossed the Xiang River and fought their way to Guangxi. Bao Chao, in particular, first occupied Penghua Mountain and set fire to the Taiping Army's existing palaces. Then Li Shixian, Wang Haiyang, Tan Tiyuan, and Li Yuanji colluded with the Miao..." The Yao chieftains set up camps in various mountain caves. The Xiang Army, led by Bao Chao, was equally adept at traversing mountains and gorges, using ravines and planks as cover. Wherever the Taiping Army camped, the Xiang Army would fight there. Their firearms were fast, their artillery powerful, and they were invincible. They only managed to chase Li Shixian, Wang Haiyang, Tan Tiyuan, and Li Yuanji to the Savage Mountain, where they set it on fire. All four, along with their followers, had already been taken in as disciples by the Fire Star Group. This piecemeal suppression finally wiped out the remaining forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Wealth and glory are fleeting, like a flower in the wind; even the darkest heavens cannot escape their grasp. He didn't have much time left. Bao Chao, Song Guoyong, and Sun Kaihua, having finished this battle, naturally rushed back to Nanjing. However, upon arriving, they found that Zeng Guofan had already been ordered to suppress the Nian Rebellion, and the Governor-General of Liangjiang had long since been replaced by Li Hongzhang. After meeting with Li Hongzhang, Bao Chao and the others, without further delay, led the Xiang Army to Zeng Guofan's camp. Don't you all remember the matter of suppressing the Nian Rebellion? Didn't the court assign the task to Senggelinqin, Sheng Bao, and Yuan Jiasan? Now, why has Zeng Guofan been appointed Imperial Commissioner and tasked with suppressing the Nian Rebellion? Isn't this just adding another head on top of another? You should know that at this time, Sheng Bao... The crimes have been punished, and Senggelinqin has died in battle. The intricate details of this situation are beyond my ability to fully explain with my pen. Now that the Taiping Rebellion has been quelled and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom destroyed, I can now recount the events of the Nian Rebellion over the years. I recall in Chapter Six that Chen Yucheng came to aid Zhang Luoxing, and after a fierce battle with Jin Guangjun and Zhang Yao, Zhang Luoxing escaped, and Chen Yucheng broke through the encirclement. Chen Guorui, however, had some merit, and because he was Sheng Bao's personal confidant, he was ranked first. After this victory, the military advisor Miao Pei surrendered to Sheng Bao. Miao's surrender was not genuine; he was merely spying on Sheng Bao's camp. In reality, he remained in league with Zhang Luoxing of the Nian Rebellion and Chen Yucheng of the Taiping Rebellion. Sheng Bao, oblivious to this, even made Miao Peilin his confidant, ordering him to train troops in Shouzhou. The army grew larger and larger, with seventy out of every hundred men being Nian soldiers and thirty Taiping soldiers. Before long, Nian leader Zhang Luoxing returned to Zhishui Town, and Taiping general Chen Yucheng rampaged through and conquered counties and prefectures in northern Anhui. Ren Zhu and Niu Hong frequently joined forces with Zhang Luoxing, and Li Zhaoshou openly continued... They were involved in the Nian Rebellion. At this very moment, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom sent Lin Fengxiang, Lai Wenguang, and others to advance on Beijing. According to Chen Yucheng's plan, they divided their forces into three routes: Lin Fengxiang as the first route, Lai Wenguang as the second, and Chen Yucheng himself as the third. Unexpectedly, Lin Fengxiang's first route reached Tianjin but was defeated by Senggelinqin. With nowhere else to go, he urgently sought refuge with Lai Wenguang.
At that time, Lai Wenguang and Zhang Luoxing had already joined forces, creating a stalemate between them and Lin Fengxiang. Just then, Duolonga led a large force, discovered Lin Fengxiang's route to Ruzhou, and surrounded him. The area was completely blocked. Fengxiang's situation worsened, and Lai Wenguang refused to send reinforcements. Desperate and without options, they changed their tactics, replacing their leader with Wang Tianhua as a double. Fengxiang escaped, but Wang Tianhua was captured by Duolonga, taken to Beijing, and beheaded. At the time, the Qing government believed Lin Fengxiang had been executed and greatly rewarded the monks Wang, Shengbao, and Duolonga. In reality, Fengxiang had already fled to Nanjing and was only executed along with Li Xiucheng and others after Zeng Jiu recaptured the city.
But let's leave that aside for now. Let's focus on Lai Wenguang's alliance with Zhang Luoxing, and Miao Pei... Lin then plotted against the Nian Rebellion. Imperial Envoy Sheng Bao, believing Miao Peilin's sincerity in surrendering, frequently ordered him to send troops. However, Miao was cunning and treacherous, claiming not only that the weapons were incomplete but also that the provisions were insufficient. The poor banner commander was manipulated by him, receiving weapons one day and provisions the next, until the entire camp was emptied of supplies. Not content with this, he even submitted a memorial recommending Miao Peilin, praising his competence and talent, and promoting him from a failed scholar to the position of Circuit Intendant of Northern Sichuan. Miao, with his wolfish ambition, showed no gratitude, instead believing his power was growing too large.
His dream was to have Zhang Luoxing, Lai Wenguang, and Chen Yucheng as his subordinates, and then he would occupy territory in Anhui and Henan, becoming a second Hong Xiuquan. I remember in the eleventh year of the Xianfeng Emperor's reign, he sent troops to occupy Huaiyuan and massacre people in Shouzhou. In Shouzhou, there was a powerful local gentry named Sun Yuwen, who was very fond of him, committing rape, plunder, and all sorts of atrocities. He also sent his cousin, Miao Jingkai, to harass Henan. Miao's earth-shattering actions could not be kept secret, and coincidentally, Sun Yuwen had already been promoted to Minister, so he submitted a memorial to Empress Dowager Cixi. Cixi, having just assumed power, already knew that Sheng Bao was incompetent and Miao Peilin was fickle, so she ordered Prince Gong Yixin to recommend suitable officials to suppress the Nian Rebellion. At that time, Yixin recommended Ding Baozhen and Yuan Jiasan. Ding's audience with the emperor resulted in a farcical situation, as you all know, while only Yuan Jiasan led a large force. Upon arriving in northern Anhui, Yuan Jiasan had a serious confrontation with Sheng Bao, demanding an inventory of the military equipment and provisions in the camp. Unexpectedly, Sheng Bao had used all of it to aid Miao Peilin. Yuan Jiasan was so exasperated that he stamped his feet, exclaiming, "This is outrageous! This is outrageous! Isn't this like raising a tiger that will become a menace?" Sheng Bao, angered by this rebuff, retorted sharply. Yuan Jiasan stormed back to his own camp, secretly drafting a memorial, and immediately gathered his troops to join Zhang Yao in a two-pronged attack. These two fresh forces overwhelmed a large contingent of Nian rebels. As fate would have it, four brothers from the northern Anhui defense force—Jiang Zhongji, Zhongyi, Zhongxin, and Zhongpo—were stationed at Chaohu. These four brothers were, in fact, brothers of Jiang Zhongyuan. In the early years of the Xianfeng reign, Jiang Zhongyuan distinguished himself in the Battle of Changsha, Hunan, by using artillery to kill Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui, achieving a unique military exploit. Later, the Taiping Army mobilized its entire army, and Changsha fell. Zhongyuan retreated, gathered the remnants, and pursued the fleeing enemy across the border. He traveled through Hubei and then down to Anhui. In the third year of the Xianfeng reign, he suffered a crushing defeat at the Battle of Luzhou, sacrificing his life in the process. After this loyal martyr's death, his four brothers were all filled with righteous indignation, hoping to sacrifice themselves for the country and avenge their brother. In the seventh and eighth years of the Xianfeng reign, with the strong recommendation of Hu Linyi, they all served in the military as circuit intendants. When Commander Zeng Jiu recaptured Anhui, the four brothers followed him in his campaigns. When Commander Zeng Jiu went to attack Nanjing, the four brothers stayed behind at Chaohu. At this time, the Nian Rebellion was active, and they, along with Quan Yugui, split up to intercept them. Ladies and gentlemen, I am deeply grateful to you for your understanding and support. I am committed to serving you with the utmost sincerity and integrity, and I am deeply grateful to you for your understanding and support. I am committed to serving you with the utmost sincerity and integrity, and I am committed to serving you with the utmost sincerity and integrity ...

Leaving aside Chen Yucheng's escape and subsequent refuge with Miao Peilin, and also ignoring Quan Yugui and the Jiang brothers' great victory and their relentless advance to join forces with the northern army at Zhengyang Pass, let's turn our attention to this very moment. Sheng Bao hastily wrote a letter and delivered it to Miao Peilin, rebuking him for his ingratitude: "Now that the army is assembled, the Khorchin King Senggelinqin will soon lead a large force to directly attack your stronghold. You must make your own plans now and not make a mistake." Miao, upon receiving this crucial letter, pondered deeply, for his own future was paramount. A petty man's cunning lies in bullying the weak and fearing the strong, avoiding the wicked and following the righteous. He learned that the Heavenly Kingdom was already in ruins and beyond repair, so he had no choice but to betray Chen Yucheng. Taking advantage of Chen Yucheng's solitary return, he used a clever trick to bind Chen Yucheng and escort him to Sheng Bao's camp. Sheng Bao's joy was like finding the moon in the sky. He quickly sent the victory report to the capital, boasting of his own achievements and requesting an award for Miao Peilin. In fact, Empress Dowager Cixi had already received a secret report from Sun Yuwen and a report from Yuan Jiasan, and was quite displeased with Sheng Bao. Upon receiving Sheng Bao's victory report, she immediately issued an edict to execute Chen Yucheng at the front lines and urged Senggelinqin to achieve immediate success. The Senggelinqin Prince, having received the court's strict order, led 20,000 troops and marched towards Zhengyang Pass, besieging Zhishui Town. At this time, the Nian Rebellion leader Zhang Luoxing was already trapped in his stronghold and sent messengers to Ren Zhu in Shandong, Niu Hong in Henan, and Lai Wenguang to request reinforcements. Needless to say, the three routes of Nian troops had already arrived. However, although the Nian army was numerous, the government troops from four routes of suppression had gathered here, and heavy troops were stationed within a hundred li of Zhengyang Pass. Miao Peilin was a newly surrendered general, while Chen Yucheng and Chen Decai had either been killed in battle or beheaded. Zhang Luoxing was extremely anxious. His nephew, Zhang Zongyu, being as cunning and shrewd as could be, immediately suggested, "We cannot hold Zhishui Town. Rather than gathering together and perishing together, I should allocate some troops to provide support from the outside." Luoxing agreed. So Zhang Zongyu selected three thousand fierce soldiers and left Zhishui Town, setting up camp thirty miles to the southeast. After Zongyu left, Sengling Geqin's large force arrived. The government troops attacked fiercely, while the Nian Army defended desperately. Niu Hong, Ren Zhu, Lai Wenguang, and Zhang Zongyu all provided support from afar, tying down the government troops. The government troops attacked for two or three months without success. On this day, Chen Guoduan, wearing a red jacket, and Quan Yugui, wearing a white robe, both spontaneously charged into battle. Zhang Luoxing, the Nian chieftain, stood on the earthen embankment, directing operations from all sides. Cannonballs thundered, bullets rained down, and from the thick smoke, two valiant generals, one in red and one in white, leaped forward. In the blink of an eye, the one in red wielded twin swords, the one in white brandished a worn-out silver spear, shouting in unison. Poor Zhang Luoxing, unable to react in time, fell off the embankment. Then, Senggelinqin's army surged forward, utterly destroying Zhishui Town, leaving not a single Nian soldier inside to escape.
This time, the campaign quelled the Nian Rebellion's stronghold and killed Zhang Luoxing. The Sengge King was rewarded for his achievements, and Chen Guoduan and Quan Yugui were appointed as the top officials. The campaign was a great success, and the victory was a significant achievement. 冒埔磺校け5囊馑迹晕徽邪裁琏毓矗荒艿谜庖换厥だ页鹿稹⑷窆笥质撬肯骆缃伤怖础＜派荫尤豢谏嗾γ醣憷淅涞囟允けpα肆缴怠.

The problem was that the Nian Rebellion moved like bandits, gathering and dispersing at will. Undeterred by Senggelinqin's formidable strength, they fought for over a year without achieving any significant victory, driving Senggelinqin to the brink of rage. Just then, a scout reported that the Nian leaders Zhang Zongyu and Lai Wenguang had encamped in Caozhou. Upon receiving this news, Senggelinqin acted without hesitation, rushing three hundred li in a single day and night to reach Caozhou. Before he could even set up camp, Zhang Zongyu and Lai Wenguang launched their attack. Senggelinqin ordered his men to engage, but exhausted and weary, they were quickly overpowered, and the two generals cut down the battle-hardened, first-rate Senggelinqin. The next day, Chen Guoduan arrived, collecting the body and sending a messenger to the capital. The court, upon receiving this alarming news, dispatched Zeng Guofan, the Governor-General of Liangjiang, to suppress the Nian Rebellion. What happened next remains to be seen; please read on.
