In the Jiading County Government Office, Xiao Yungui pointed to the map and arranged a rebellion to Zhou Lichun and other Qingpu generals. This map was jointly created by the Xidian Map Tester and Bai Zetang. After the Taiping Army captured Wuxi, Xiao Yungui ordered the Map Tester to start drawing detailed maps of Shanghai based on the maps retrieved in the Qing army's official office. At the same time, it was changed based on some geographical information sent back by Bai Zetang spies. It was found that the maps of the Qing army were all old maps from decades ago. Fortunately, with the news from Bai Zetang, the map was improved. Not only did the Shanghai county be clearly depicted, but the scope of concessions in various countries that were added in the later period was also divided.

According to the news that Tong Qiangsheng finally sent back, at this time, there were more than 1,000 Qing army green camp soldiers, more than 2,000 new Yong camps, and more than 800 foreign soldiers from various countries. The Qing army green camp soldiers ate opium, and the firearms were rotten. Most of the Yong camps were small outside the gangs in the city. They often fought with gangs in different systems, and there were few firearms. Only the foreign soldiers of various countries were hired by the Qing court for silver and money. Most of the soldiers of the South China Sea were from Indians and native Indonesians. The rest were made by exiled people from various countries. Although they came for silver and money, the firearms were excellent and the military strategy was well-founded, which was actually a strong enemy.

Recalling the news that Tong Qiangsheng came back, Xiao Yungui knew that this time he attacked Shanghai, he would join Qingpu's rebel army. Although he had a slight advantage in number, the Qingpu rebel army was not strong in combat, and the foreign soldiers from various countries participating in the war were actually mercenaries hired by the Qing court. Thinking of this, Xiao Yungui couldn't help but curse. Whose mother came up with this trick? The foreigners didn't want to be involved in the civil war, but some people in the Qing court thought of the mercenary move, which caught Xiao Yungui off guard.

Mercenaries are soldiers employed by any country or nation and fight for regardless of the interests of the country and nation and all consequences. They can be criminals, gangsters, adventurers, from barbarians in the ancient Roman army to exiled to Africa and Asia during the post-colonial period. Mercenaries have always been regarded as a group of "five money but not life". In many people's understanding, mercenaries only bring death and pain to others, and the only motivation to fight was money. Xiao Yungui estimated that the Qing court must have used customs duties or land rights in the concession to lend money to foreign foreign companies. Otherwise, with the current Shanghai tariffs to deal with the situation of the Suzhou-Hangzhou War, Wu Jianzhang would not be able to provide any money to hire mercenaries.

Since these mercenaries helped Wu Jianzhang eliminate Xiaodaohui, they could naturally open fire on the Taiping Army under the monetary power. They had no national interests in their eyes. Even Britain, who had signed the treaty, could say that what the mercenaries did had nothing to do with Britain. This trick was very beautiful. Who gave Wu Jianzhang such a bad idea? Xiao Yungui couldn't guess, just like the previous rumor of Tuibei, the invisible enemy disrupted his deployment in a few understatement.

Originally, Xiao Yungui and Zuo Zongtang had planned to take Suzhou and Hangzhou first, take Suzhou as the rear, conquered Kunshan, Jiading, Qingpu, Songjiang and other places outside Shanghai, complete the siege of Shanghai, and finally contacted Xiaodao Club in the city, and captured Shanghai in one fell swoop. But the situation has changed now, Xiaodao Club will be eradicated by the Qing court, and Shanghai has foreign mercenaries to help defend. If you wait for a few more days, you still don’t know what the mastermind behind the scenes will do, so Xiao Yungui had to make a quick decision, and set up a partial army to lead him and attack Shanghai personally. The effect he wanted was to play the cards without the common sense and stir up the pot of water. Intuition told Xiao Yungui that the deployment of the person behind the scenes could also be disrupted.

Xiao Yungui looked at the map and snorted coldly, thinking to himself: "Since these Indian San and Indonesian monkeys dare to join the mercenary? If you dare to shoot me, I want you to go without going back!"

At present, Xiao Yungui ordered Li Zuoche and Tang Erniu to lead 500 Taiping Army, supplemented by Qingpu Rebel Army, and 1,000 each. In the afternoon, he rushed to the west of Shanghai County, controlling the official road from Suzhou to Shanghai and controlling Dongjiadu, attacking Baoshan and establishing camps in Baoshan. Xiao Yungui and Zhou Lichun, Zhou Xiuying led the rest of his troops to capture Hongqiao, then captured Xujiahui, and besieged the south of the city.

After the division was decided, all the generals were ready to go, and Xiao Yungui proposed to follow Zhou Lichun and his daughter to see the soldiers of the Qingpu Rebel Army. After the Qingpu Rebel Army arrived in Jiading, the Taiping Army gave food and money. Zhou Lichun was grateful and naturally agreed.

Xiao Yungui took the West Palace guards to the garrison of Zhou Lichun and his daughter to the Qingpu Rebel Army's garrison in the east of the city. This was originally the schoolyard of the Qing army in the city. The small schoolyard was full of Qingpu Rebel Army. Most of them were farmers, wearing straw sandals and jackets, and many of them didn't even have shoes. The clothes on their bodies were ragged, and they were holding hoes and hatches, and some even held shoulder poles.

Xiao Yungui looked and pondered: "After the capture of Suzhou City in a few days, the brothers in Qingpu should be able to obtain the official number clothing and weapons of the Kingdom of Heaven, but at present, this is the only way."

Zhou Xiuying said: "His Royal Highness, why should we wait until we capture Suzhou City? As long as we can enter Shanghai, we will have military weapons and clothing?"

Xiao Yungui smiled slightly. Zhou Xiuying is not as good-looking as Hong Xuanjiao, Li Xuanji and other women, but her wheat-colored skin and plump body are extremely youthful and healthy. Combined with her glutinous Jiangnan accent, it has a unique charm, but the idea is too simple. Xiao Yungui said at this moment: "Although there are not many Qing Yao in Shanghai, they have foreign soldiers to help, and the other is waterways to pass through. We cannot conquer Shanghai at once. We should first sweep away the camps of Qing Yao outside the city, and we can only conquer Shanghai step by step. This battle will not be won quickly."

Zhou Lichun gave Zhou Xiuying a look and scolded: "What are the nonsense about girls? Do you think war is just playing house? You are not afraid of the King of Western Affairs. Stay there, talk less, and do more."

Xiao Yungui smiled. It seems that women in this era are still discriminated against. Whether it is their biological father or husband, they always like to suppress their daughter and wife in front of outsiders. Xiao Yungui waved his hand and said, "Old hero Zhou doesn't need to be scolded. I think Miss Zhou is a person with a heart. It is rare that she can think of these things. After fighting Shanghai, she will spend time to learn more military tactics. I think Miss Zhou will also become the female commander of my heaven."

Zhou Xiuying was scolded by her father, so she had to bow her head timidly, but when she heard Xiao Yungui's words, her eyes lit up and she said happily: "Xi Wang, do you think I can really be the military commander?"

Xiao Yungui laughed and said, "Of course, there is nothing difficult in the world. I am afraid of those who are determined. As long as you have perseverance and perseverance, learn more and practice more, and lead troops to make great contributions in wars, you will naturally become the commander of the army."

Zhou Xiuying was naturally full of joy, while Zhou Lichun smiled bitterly and said, "Don't spoil the child by the Western King."

Xiao Yungui smiled and turned his slogan and asked, "Old Master Zhou, tell me about your Qingpu fighting food. There are too many rumors in the world, and I don't know which one is true."

When Zhou Lichun heard that the King of Western thought about his glorious deeds, he felt a little embarrassed and laughed: "That was forced by the government." Before Zhou Lichun could explain in detail, Zhou Xiuying started talking nonstop.

This Zhou Lichun was originally from Tangwan Township, Qingpu County, Jiangsu Province. Chongtangwan was loved by people and was considered to be a government official. Qingpu County belonged to Songjiang Prefecture, and in the Qing Dynasty, Jiangsu, Song, Taihe, Hangzhou, Jia and Lake in Zhejiang Province had the heaviest grain quota, and the government exploited it layer by layer, and the people suffered a lot. By the Daoguang period, especially after the Opium War, the grain frailties were even worse. Su, Song and other places had so-called large households and small households. Not only farmers and tenants suffered more serious exploitation, but also small landlords had to bear the grain tyrants and tyrants.

As for the end of the bankruptcy of food, Xiao Yungui understood that under the Qing Dynasty, even under the rule of the Qing Dynasty, even if you are in a rich place, you will be exploited by the government, you will not be able to eat enough, and you will be bullied. What is ridiculous is that the ignorant young people in later generations thought that the Jiangsu and Zhejiang had always been rich, but they did not know that it was a prosperous place, and the more opportunities they would be exploited, because every official thought that Jiangsu and Zhejiang could make a fortune. Everyone thought that no matter how rich the property was, they would be exploited.

In southern Jiangsu, it was the exploitation of such government officials and landlords and wealthy people, and the land became increasingly concentrated and the contradictions became increasingly sharp. In the first month of the 26th year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty, the farmers in Zhaowen County, Jiangsu and Zhenyang County, Jiangsu Province rioted one after another, attacked the county government offices, destroyed the houses of the grain collectors, gentry, landlords, and used farm tools to fight against the officers and soldiers. In fact, on the eve of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's rise, the farmers in Jiangsu and Zhejiang had already started fighting.

In the spring of the second year of the Renzi period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping Army defeated the Qing army in Yong'an Prefecture, Guangxi, and the news of the attack on Guilin reached the people in southern Jiangsu. This year, the drought was drought, and the rain was only rained until the end of May. It was already a mistake to plant rice. When it was too late, Yu Longguang, the magistrate of Qingpu County, chased the thirty-year-old Daoguang money and grain that had been exempted from paying. He called the whole county's land guarantee to the county government, with a pale face and said, "I asked you to collect the old grain from Daoguang thirty years ago, why not hand it over? I ate the imperial grain and don't care about the matter!" All the land guarantees, including Zhou Lichun, looked at each other and avoided the money and grain from paying for the thirty years of Daoguang. This was the imperial decree, but no one dared to answer.

Yu Longguang said angrily: "Don't say anything, do you want to disobey our county?" Zhou Lichun couldn't help saying: "Master, it's not that we don't collect it, we can't force oil out of the stones, and the people really can't pay the food! Besides, the court has waived money and food, so it's not right to let the people pay it!"

"Yes! Master, Brother Zhou is right, the people really can't hand over!" The local guards in each village immediately said in unison when they saw someone leading the way.

"Fuck! The imperial court's order is to suspend payment. Now it's two years old in Xianfeng. The grain from three years ago must be paid! Even if it sells men and women, it must be paid!" Yu Longguang almost roared.

Zhou Lichun was so angry that his face flushed and said loudly: "Master, only the association borrowed money from the wife, but did not sell men and women to pay the money and food."

Yu Longguang shouted angrily: "Stop! How can we not pay the money and grain in our wealthy land in southern Jiangsu? Go back and collect the grain immediately. If the three limits are not delivered, our county will send a urged ship to the countryside to see who is a troublemaker dare not pay it!"

Zhou Lichun and the landlords angrily left the county government office, walked out of the city, and wanted to scatter back to their hometown. Zhou Lichun called them and said, "Brothers, Daoguang's thirty years old grain has been exempted, and dog officials cannot tolerate excessive taxes; and there is no need to accept the food in the drought, and the people are too busy to die. Where can I get the food to the dog officials? We must not pay it!" "With Brother Zhou's decision, we are not afraid, we must not pay it!" Everyone shouted in unison. So the first limit passed, the second limit passed, and the third limit came, and no one in the county handed over the grain to the county. Yu Longguang was furious and sent a urging ship to Tangwan.

As soon as the grain urging boat landed, the tolerance was like a group of evil ghosts. They crashed into other people's houses, and all the jars and jars turned over; they punched and kicked, and the farmers handed over the grain. The farmers couldn't bear it anymore, so they gathered up and beat the tolerance urging boats to death. Some of them were beaten to death. Those who escaped the dog's life also had their heads and foreheads cracked. Then the people dragged the grain urging boats ashore and burned them. Seeing that the people had already taken action, Zhou Lichun beat the official officer to death, so he gathered them together, headed towards Qingpu City, rushed into the yamen, and looked for Yu Longguang. At this time, Yu Longguang knew he was afraid and hid in the back hall and shivered.

Zhou Lichun dragged him down to the west gate, held his ear and asked him, "You can't hear the suffering of the people in the yamen, so I'll tell you to come out of the city to listen. If you don't listen to the voices of the people, what use does it do?" A young man ran up and bit off the left ear of the county magistrate of Gou. Everyone stepped forward together, punched and beat him to pieces. In the middle of the beating, the soldiers arrived and saved Yu Longguang's life. Then Zhou Lichun took the people back to the countryside, and more than a dozen villages protected themselves and resisted the delivery of food.

Later, the Qing Dynasty changed to a Qingpu magistrate. In September, this man recruited a group of Guangyong and personally brought him to arrest Lichun. He was frightened when he heard the sound of the gongs of the farmers gathering. The Suzhou magistrate brought more than a thousand soldiers to come and set up camps to suppress the farmers. The farmers immediately gathered together. He picked up hoes, hoes, thorns, and jin and other farm tools, beat them head-on, defeated the officers and soldiers, and killed many people. So the farmers in Qingpu area resisted and fought like a prairie fire.

Xiao Yungui heard it with relish and nodded and said, "So that's how it is. The Qing Yao official is so hateful. It doesn't matter if he issuing an order to exempt food. It seems that the Qing Yao is just a fart when speaking. With such an official, such a court will naturally overthrow him!" The father and daughter of the Zhou family said it together.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Xiao Yungui ordered the troops to prepare meals. After a full meal, he led the army to Shanghai, leaving only one soldier to guard Jiading City.
