Left throw stones to block the wall. What are the details of Changsha Defence War?

185 1 year 1 month, Hong Xiuquan was in jintian uprising, Guiping, Guangxi. In September, the Taiping Army established a system of sealing the king in Yong 'an, with great momentum. The imperial court sent Cezanne as an imperial envoy to command the Qing army to pursue and intercept the Taiping Army. 1in April, 852, the Taiping Army laid siege to Keke and Guilin and turned to Quanzhou. The value of the river soared, so it went down the river. Jiang Zhongyuan of Xinning led a delegation to cut down trees for piles at the coir crossing, blocking the river and refusing to fight. Taiping was ambushed by this ambush and suffered heavy losses. Feng Yunshan, king of the South, was shot and killed. The Taiping Army abandoned the ship and landed in Hunan from the east coast path, attacking Yongzhou.

However, the Yongzhou River was too wide for the Taiping Army to cross, so it turned to Daozhou. 12 June, Daozhou was captured. Taiping Army issued a campaign in Daozhou, casting more than 300 guns and sewing various military uniforms. Thousands of people come to join the army every day, and the number of troops has increased to 50 thousand. After 50 days' rest, Taiping Army regained its glory. /kloc-in August of 0/7, Taiping Army conquered Chenzhou. On 28th, Xiao Chaogui led an army from Chenzhou and swept all the way to conquer Anren, Guxian, Chaling and Liling.

On September 1852 and 1 1, the Taiping Army raided green camp, Xi 'an Town, Shimapu, south of Changsha, killing their chief commander and deputy commander. Zhu Han, the deputy commander stationed in Jinpanling, fled without fighting, and a large number of munitions fell into the hands of Taiping rebels. The next day, the Taiping Army attacked Huangtuling and the Qing Army retreated to Changsha. Taiping Army marched into Miaofeng Mountain in the south of the city, occupied Xihu Bridge and Jinji Bridge, and controlled solid houses and commanding heights. 12 to 18, Taiping Army shelled Changsha City.

Because Jiang Zhongyuan led the troops to seize the Cai Gongfen highland in the southeast of the city, the Taiping Army was weak and had to gather in a corner of the south of the city to attack the city. Although the number of Qing troops in the city is small, they can concentrate their forces according to the risks. Xiao Chaogui, the Queen Mother of the West, took the lead and raised the flag to bid. Unfortunately, he was shelled by the enemy and died heroically. Soon, the Qing army's Deng Shaoliang department rushed out of the city from Xiangtan, and the Taiping Army was attacked between Scylla and Charybdis, and the siege was frustrated.

Hong Xiuquan

Hong Xiuquan and Dong Wangyang heard that Changsha was in an emergency in Chenzhou and immediately led troops to Changsha. On October 5th, 65438/KLOC-0, the vanguard troops of Taiping Army arrived in Changsha, joined the rest of Xiao Chaogui, and stormed the position of Jiangzhongyuan Cai Cemetery. Xiang Rong destroyed the houses near the city with heavy shelling, which made the Taiping army lose its cover and could not get close to the city, and the attack failed. 65438+1October 1 1, Hong Xiuquan and Yang arrived in Changsha, and fought with the Qing reinforcements in the south of the city, Jingwanzi and Tokyo, but failed.

At this time, the Qing army in Changsha has increased to 40,000-50,000, including 1 deputy minister, 2 governors, 4 prefects, 8 commanders, and more than a dozen mid-team leaders and Taoist priests. And reinforcements from all over the country came all the way, from Tianxin Pavilion to Xinkaipu to camp and dig trenches. The Taiping Army, with its back water as its camp, was attacked on three sides and was in critical condition.

Hong Xiuquan changed his strategy, divided his troops and crossed the west to occupy Hexi area. 65438+ 10 65438+July, Shi Dakai, the wing king, led the troops to cross the Xiangjiang River from Zhuzhangdu and Houzishi, occupied Shuiluzhou, Jinjiang, Yuelu Mountain and Xiaowan Town, and harvested late rice as rations from Yanghu source. Build a pontoon bridge on the Xiangjiang River to connect the positions on both sides. Hexi is the main road from Changsha to Dongting Lake, from which Taiping Army won the initiative again.

The Qing army was terrified and sent troops to cross the river many times, but they were all repelled by Shi Dakai. On June 3 1 day1October 3 1 day, Xiang Rong led an elite force to attack the land and water continents. Shi Dakai, who was only 2 1 year-old, was resourceful, ambushed heavily in the Woods, annihilated thousands of Qing troops, and escaped. After this war, the Qing army never dared to cross the river easily again. Taiping rebels in the south of the city stepped up their efforts to dig tunnels to attack the city. The earth camp composed of Chenzhou miners is good at digging tunnels. They attacked the tunnel under the city wall, then filled it with gunpowder and detonated it. They have blown down the wall four times.

Zuo is the adjutant of Hunan Governor Zhang. A repayment of 654.38+220,000 yuan was raised from Huang Mian and Sun, wealthy businessmen in Changsha. When there is a gap in the wall, anyone who throws stones at the gap will get a reward of 1000 pence. Suddenly stones rained down, and the Taiping Army and the Qing Army were buried at the same time, and the gap was immediately filled. The Qing army also asked the blind fortune-tellers in the city to "listen to the ground" at the root of the city wall and closely spy on the excavation activities of the Taiping Army soil camp. As soon as I found anything, I killed it underground with a cannon. It can be said that the Tao is one foot high and the devil is ten feet high.

During this period, Hong Xiuquan commanded Yang to attack the city slightly, and at the same time reorganized the army, set up official letters, reorganized the army, promoted Lai, Li and other generals to prefect, general and bodyguard respectively, and promulgated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom decree. At this time, the Taiping Army had attacked Changsha 8 1 day, which could neither annihilate the enemy outside the city nor break through the city. However, the Qing army kept coming from all over the country, and the situation became more and more unfavorable. Hong Xiuquan sized up the situation and decided that Yang would lead the main force to cross the river, meet the Shi Dakai department and prepare to attack Jinling in the north.

Hong Xiuquan

Before the Taiping Army withdrew from the encirclement, it made a suspicious plan, pretending to dig tunnels to blow up Tianxin Pavilion, and keeping the Qing army busy digging trenches to prevent tunnels from appearing in the city. At the beginning of the rainstorm, the night was boundless, and the main force of Taiping army crossed the river quickly. When the Qing army came to its senses, it was too late to pursue it. Since then, Yang sent a small group of troops south to pretend to attack Xiangtan, while the main force went straight to Ningxiang, Yiyang and Yuezhou.

1853, the Taiping Army conquered Wuchang and Nanjing along the Yangtze River and established the Chinese regime. 1854, in order to consolidate the Tianjing regime, the Taiping Army sent and Lin led troops to the western expedition, and fought fiercely with Zeng Guofan's Xiang army in Yuezhou, Ningxiang, Xiangyin, Jinggang and Xiangtan, and planned to attack Changsha after capturing these places. Taiping Army beat Xiang Navy in Jinggang, and Zeng Guofan was ashamed and angry. He drowned himself three times, rescued his men and fled back to Changsha. However, the Taiping Army was defeated in Xiangtan, with more than 1,000 casualties/kloc-0. Victory in other places was wiped out and forced to withdraw from Hunan.

Hong Xiuquan

The Taiping Army's two attacks on Changsha ended in failure, but they dealt a heavy blow to the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, exercised the army, promoted the anti-Qing revolutionary struggle in Hunan, and laid the foundation of China's regime. At the same time, the victory of the Qing army in Changsha guarding city and the rise of Xiang army made Zeng Guofan, Zuo, Hu Linyi and others take this opportunity to become famous officials in the late Qing Dynasty. Hunan folk customs changed, which had a great influence on the historical process of modern China.
