What meritorious military service has the fearsome Xiang Wu Iliad made?

When it comes to the late Qing dynasty, we have to mention the Xiang army, and when it comes to the Xiang army, we have to mention the "auspicious word camp"; Zeng Guofan's brother Ceng Guoquan is in charge of auspicious words camp. As far as talent is concerned, Ceng Guoquan is not weaker than Zeng Guofan, while Ceng Guoquan is brave and aggressive, and he is cruel by nature, and soon becomes the number one soldier of Xiang. Attacking Anqing and skyshatter Beijing, he made outstanding achievements, which was unparalleled at that time, and Ceng Guoquan's success was closely related to his "auspicious word camp".

The auspicious word camp was originally composed of a group of outlaws. Ceng Guoquan promised to rob the city for three days after it was broken. Therefore, the auspicious word camp is even more deadly in combat. Even a "war maniac" like Bao Chao should stay away from the auspicious word camp, which shows how fierce the auspicious word camp is. Here, let's take stock of the five Iliad in the auspicious words camp, that is, the five experts that Ceng Guoquan relies on most. Let's see who they are:

Top, 5 Guo Songlin

Guo Songlin is from Xiangtan, Hunan. His early deeds are unknown. Later, he joined the Xiang Army, affiliated to Ceng Guoquan, and became a member of the "auspicious word camp". This Guo Songlin is unusually brave, and it is one of the best in a place where fierce people come forth in large numbers. Every war is a charge, and later it is caused by official positions; When Ji 'an besieged the city, Shi Dakai, the first general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, came to help. When the two sides fought fiercely, Guo Songlin led the troops to sink in and defeated the Shi Dakai army. Later, Anqing was besieged, and Guo Songlin led a group of people to suppress Chen Yucheng Department in Xiaochiyi. After Anqing was conquered, Guo Songlin was promoted to a guerrilla for his work and was awarded the title of brave Batulu.

After being transferred to Li Hongzhang, Huai Army became one of the best valiant soldiers under Li Hongzhang and defeated Taiping Army many times. Although Guo Songlin's official position has soared, he still listens to Ceng Guoquan. When Ceng Guoquan was ordered to pacify the Nian army, he asked Guo Songlin to recruit soldiers to support him. He confessed without saying anything, and almost died because of Zhongfu. After his recovery, Li Hongzhang named him "Wu Yijun". After that, Guo Songlin followed Li Hongzhang to the north and south, and finally settled the West Twist Army and the East Twist Army. Because of his work, he was awarded a yellow jacket and a captain position. He was awarded the magistrate of Hubei and transferred to Zhili. The following year, Guo Songlin died of illness, and the Qing court chartered to build a special ancestral temple named "Wuzhuang".

Top, 4 Poetry Days

Zhang is from Xiangxiang, Hunan. He fought in Jiangxi and Luo Zenan in his early years. After his death in Wuchang, Zhang Ba moved to. Those who can be transferred are basically tough people, and they are the kind of unruly tough people. Zhang is like this. In the "auspicious word camp", no matter whether you cross Helong or Shanglugen, you have to stand up. After all, Ceng Guoquan is a statue of "killing God". Zhang found a sense of belonging and gave full play to its role in the "auspicious word camp". Since then, he has repeatedly made meritorious military service, becoming one of Ceng Guoquan's confidant generals.

When attacking Anqing, Zhang led three battalions to defeat the reinforcements of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Zongyang. After the conquest of Anqing, Zhang Yingong was promoted to lieutenant and was named Batulu. When attacking Tianjing, Zhang led the troops to repel the counter-offensive of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom many times. After breaking the city, he led many people to climb Longguang Mountain, seize the emergency exit, move from the gate to Shishan Mountain, and seize Yifeng Gate. The Qing court awarded the company commander of Xuanhua Town, Zhili, with the title of first-class teacher. Later, he followed Zeng Guofan to pacify the Nian Army, and died after his illness.

Top, 3 Xiao Fusi

Xiao Fusi joined Xiang Army in his early years, followed Luo Zenan to Jiangxi and Hubei, and was promoted to garrison for work reasons. Later, he supported Jiangxi with Ceng Guoquan and was assigned to Ceng Guoquan after the war. So far, he has become an expert under Ceng Guoquan. Xiao Fusi made the greatest contribution in fighting Xiaochiyi and recovering Taihu Lake, so he was named Yongbatulu. After the war of Anqing, Xiao Fusi was registered as the company commander again for work reasons, and was awarded the positions of prefect and company commander of Guide Town, Henan Province. When Ceng Guoquan was preparing to attack Tianjing, Xiao Fusi volunteered as a striker, attacking the city and pulling out the village all the way to the capital of Tianjing, and was registered as a prefect for his work.

Under Tianjing, Xiao Fusi repelled Li Xiucheng reinforcements and gave him a yellow jacket. Later, he attacked Yuhuatai Shicheng with the company commander Li Chendian, chased it to the bridge, cut thousands of enemies, broke the thief card at Moling Pass, and made Fujian Army the prefect. After the invasion of Tianjing, Xiao Fusi led many people to the north and south, but he still refused to go to the front line. After the attack on Tianjing, Xiao Fusi found out the hidden Li Xiucheng and Hong Xiuquan's second brother Hong Renda in the houses. Give a first-class baron for his work and flowers for his eyes; He was strong after his death.

TOP, 2 Li Chendian

Li Chendian is from Shaoyang, Hunan. He/kloc-joined the army at the age of 0/8. He was originally a subordinate of Wang Zhen, and later Ceng Guoquan supported Jiangxi, belonging to Xiang's "auspicious word camp". This Li Chendian is a real outlaw. He is brave and good at fighting, ranking in the top three of the "auspicious word camp" and is Ceng Guoquan's most trusted hardcore confidant; In the Battle of Ji 'an, Ceng Guoquan suffered heavy losses. Li Chendian fought bravely and chased the Taiping Army to Yongfeng and Xingan. Ceng Guoquan was shocked and shouted, "Zhang Fei is still alive". After the war, he was promoted to the garrison of Baoqing Battalion. In the subsequent battle to recover Jingdezhen and Fuliang, Li Chendian was the pioneer.

And in the battle of Anqing, Ceng Guoquan was injured and fell from his horse, thanks to the rescue of Li Chendian; Moreover, in a critical moment, it was Li Chendian's desperate charge that broke the siege of Taiping Army and Anqing was able to break through. After the war, he was promoted to join the army and was named "Gangyong Batulu". When attacking Tianjin, Ceng Guoquan looked at the high walls and barriers in Tianjin, but he was helpless. Therefore, Li Chengdian volunteered to dig a tunnel under the wall of Tianjing day and night with Wu Zongguo, the lieutenant, hid a huge amount of ammunition in the tunnel and blew up the wall. After that, Li Chendian led an army into the city, and ordered those who saw long hair and had new haircuts to be killed, and finally killed more than 100,000 thieves. However, during this period, Li Chendian treated ten women in succession, relying on strength without rest, and finally died in bed. After the reward of merit, Li Chendian came first, sealed the first viscount with tin, and gave him a yellow jacket and a pair of eyes. At this time, Li Chendian was already in the column, sealed under the crown prince, loyal and strong. There are special shrines in Ji 'an, Anqing and Jiangning.

Top, 1 Zhu Hongzhang

Zhu Hongzhang is from Jinping, Guizhou. Before joining the Xiang army, Zhu Hongzhang was already a warrior who had fought many battles, but was later demoted because of defeat. When Ceng Guoquan attacked Jingdezhen, he led the troops with the levy and was reinstated because of his meritorious service; Ceng Guoquan saw Zhu Hongzhang's bravery and warrior, so he deliberately transferred Zhu Hongzhang to his own command, and Zhu Hongzhang also admired Ceng Guoquan. The key point is that "auspicious word camp" is very suitable for Zhu Hongzhang's taste. At that time, if the army was the richest, the first one was the "auspicious word camp" in Ceng Guoquan. After the city was broken, it robbed the city for three days. That's not a small sum. Isn't being a soldier fighting for promotion and wealth?

Maybe he was afraid of poverty before, so this Zhu Hongzhang is more fierce than others. Every time he breaks a city, he has to dig three feet. After the battle of Anqing, tens of thousands of Taiping rebels surrendered. Although Ceng Guoquan is a statue of "killing God" on the battlefield, he has done a lot of things to kill prisoners, but he still hesitates to kill so many people at a time. While struggling with what to do, Zhu Hongzhang proposed that "only killing is the best". Ceng Guoquan couldn't bear it, so he left it to Zhu Hongzhang. This Zhu Hongzhang is also cruel, killing tens of thousands of people in half a day. The means are cruel. Later, when attacking Tianjing, Zhu Hongzhang took the lead, but because he was not from Hunan, he was finally ranked third by Li Hongzhang. Moreover, Zhu Hongzhang's official position has not been high since then. Ceng Guoquan has applied for an official position for him, but there is still no result.

If Xiang Shuo was the trump card in the late Qing Dynasty, then "auspicious word camp" was the trump card in the trump card. Basically, this is all done by criminals, and it happens that Ceng Guoquan can stop them. And Ceng Guoquan's "Iliad Army" are actually arrogant people, especially Zhu Hongzhang and Chen Lidian, who are simply "human flesh weapons" that ignore life. They not only regard other people's lives as dirt, but also don't care about their own. Perhaps Zhu Hongzhang was not reused in his later years, which also originated from this. Except Ceng Guoquan, it is estimated that no one has the confidence to control him; Only this Li Chendian died a little funny.
