1. Fighting demon soldiers on the banks of the Lugang River
The Jingjiang River in Lugang Town, with dangerous terrain, is the southwest barrier of the Taiping Army in Wuhu. In November 1858 (the eighth year of Xianfeng), Yang Zaifu, the naval commander of the Qing army, led Li Chengmou, Ding Sibin, the deputy commander of the army, Yin Jingchang and Wei Yilin to attack the Taiping Army in the port area. After many fierce battles, they failed. Until April 18, 1862 (the first year of Tongzhi), the Qing army captured Fanchang County, which seriously threatened the defense of Taiping Army in Haogang. Therefore, the Taiping Army expanded its troops to station grain in the port of Hao and strengthened its military defense measures. Zeng Guofan said on the fourth day of April: "Wuhu thieves help, and they are potential port-wreckers, so as to increase the party and station grain in an attempt to resist." On April 18th, Lai Wenhong, Kuang Wang of Taiping Army, and Lin Youzhi, assistant general, led the troops to withdraw from Fanchang and station in the harbor, which was the vanguard of Wuhu. Zeng Zhengan, together with Li Chengmou and Li Jiming, the chief commanders of the navy, attacked by land and water on April 24. Zeng Zhen's relatives led Hengying and Yan Gongshan's Army Division Five Battalion to be stationed in Crab Rock. Li Chengmou Zhengyou Battalion and Zuo Guangpei, the 3rd Battalion of the Navy, Li Jiqing's Deputy Zhongying and Luo Shixian's 2nd Battalion of the Navy are berthed under Qiji and Xiebiji respectively. Zeng Zhengan ordered the Qing army to prepare more boats and rafts, set up pontoons to cross the river, and ordered the estuary to burst its banks so that the navy could sail into the harbor with wooden boats. Li Chengmou ordered Dai Dexiang to lead the soldiers to the south, echoing the naval gun boat entering the port. The next day, Lu Bing crossed the pontoon bridge with Zeng Zhengan's tie to attack the camp of Taiping Army on the north bank, Lu Bing of Yan Gongshan advanced along the levee of Haogang, Tao Baotang led Lu Bing to attack along the riverside avenue, Peng Chuhan's navy came out from the harbor, and more than 2 Taiping Army navy ships were destroyed. Because the Qing army entered the camp in the north of Henan Province in the port of Hao, the water army lost and was attacked between Scylla and Charybdis. The Taiping Army finally withdrew from the port of Hao and returned to the Wuchao camp.
2. A bloody battle at Jinzhuguan
After the Qing army captured Haogang Town, according to Ceng Guoquan's plan: "We must start with Jinzhuguan, then Wuhu and Jinling will be cut off in the middle of the lair, and the thief will be alone." On May 3, 1862, Peng Yulin joined the naval vessels of various battalions, sailed into Shijie through the needle fish mouth, burned the ship and destroyed the base, and landed with his troops. At this time, the Taiping army in Dongliang Mountain assisted the division, but the enemy retreated. Peng Yulin accepted the lesson of failure, and thought that it was necessary to go hand in hand with land and water. So the upstream navy was transferred below yuxikou, and Ceng Guoquan led the 15th battalion of "Ma bu" or horse stance just look to cross from Xiliangshan to the south, approaching Jinzhuguan, and set up camp for dozens of miles along the embankment. In order to prevent the invasion of the Taiping Army, Li Chaobin was sent to lead the New Right Battalion of Waijiang and the 3rd Battalion of Yu Junming and other inland water divisions to storm the rear of the Taiping Army. He also sent Cheng Faxiang and Deng Wanlin to camp around the inland river, Wang Mingshan, Wanhualin, Waijiang Navy Battalion 4, Huang Yisheng and Huaiyang Navy Battalion 8 to attack the Taiping Army from the downstream. Ceng Guoquan Camp was established. On May 19th, the army led the troops to bypass the Tri-fork River and Shangsi River. The navy was divided into three teams, one was guarding the river road, the other was rushing into the inland river, which matched the tower, and the other was landing with guns and bombarding around the city. In Jinzhu Pass, the Taiping Army was commanding, and the stone fell like rain, covering the air. The two armies fought fiercely until midnight, and the Qing army Huang Yisheng and others crawled forward with flaming sticks. Later, the Ximen Tower was shot by a rocket of the Qing army, causing a fire. The Qing army took advantage of the situation to attack Jinzhu Pass. Dongliangshan camp was also lost. Zeng Zhengan led the army to approach Wuhu along the river, and asked Li Chengmou to break the bank and release water, sail into the boat, and encircle Wuhu on all sides. Huang Yisheng led the inland river navy to fly out. First of all, Zeng Zhengan ordered Huang Runchang, the magistrate of the year, to make an appointment with Chen Xingdou, Shen Wanguo, Chen Taihe and Wang Pinlai, the defenders of the Taiping rebels in Wuhu. On May 2th, under Zeng Zhengan's land and water siege, the defenders of the Taiping rebels gave up Wuhu City, retreated in the direction of Guandoumen and Bujiadian, built camps in Nanxinwei and Sanligeng, and persisted in fighting.
3. Bloodstained Qingyijiang
In p>1863 (the second year of Tongzhi), Peng Yulin overseer Wuhu, sent Zhou Wanchuo and Wu Kunxiu to attack Li Shixian camp of Taiping Army in Nanxinwei, and sent navy officers Ren Xingyuan and Zuo Guangpei to station in Qingshui River, which was the outer water barrier of Wuhu City. On March 13th, Li Shixian army went down the river from Sanligeng and attacked Qingshuihe Ren and Zuo Navy. Wang Sanxi, the navy general of the Qing army, boarded the dike to supervise the war and was wounded by Taiping rebels' bullets. Later, he returned to Sanligeng because of too many casualties of Taiping Army. On March 21, Luo Fengyuan and Zhu Nangui led the territorial waters army to attack Nanxinwei on the edge of Wanqing Lake (now Wanchunwei), and the Li Shixian army lost. On March 22nd, the Taiping rebels attacked Qingshui River again from the Bay. Wan Hualin of the Qing army, Ren Xingyuan and Zuo Guangpei, the navy division, took advantage of the emptiness of the forces in the Bay, and sailed from the lower reaches of Qingyi River, and arrived at the fifth watch. At that time, all guns were fired. Whether the Qing army camp in the upper reaches of Qingyi River had just broken the Taiping rebels in xihe town, and the navy division of the Qing army went down the Qingyi River, and it was caught up and down. The morning mist that day. (This is what I gave to the representative of Chinese class.)
In those days at the beginning of the century, behind the verdant pine and cypress trees in Zheshan Mountain, the ruins of Anhui Public School were hidden. It was once called "Peking University in Anhui". In 195, when Chen Duxiu was teaching in Zheshan Wanjiang Middle School and Anhui Public School in Wuhu, he hosted Anhui Common saying to spread revolutionary ideas. The article "Revolutionary Activities in Anhui Cultural and Educational Circles before Xinhai" in the fourth volume of Memoirs of the Revolution of 1911 points out that "the birthplace of the Revolution of 1911 in Anhui is Wuhu, and the activity center in Wuhu is Anhui Public School (Anhui Public School is the brother-in-law school of Wanjiang Middle School). Revolutionary figures in this period include Chen Duxiu, Li Guangjiong, Zhang Bochun, Su Manshu (a famous poet, writer and editor of People's Daily), Xie Wuliang (a famous revolutionary, writer and calligrapher, one of the drafters of Sun Yat-sen's founding strategy), Zhang Shizhao, Liu Yazi and other famous figures. No.2, Zhongchang Street, was the Wuhu Science Bookstore in the 193s. It was founded in 193 by Wang Mengzou, a native of Jixi, and served as its manager. It has experienced the Revolution of 1911, the New Culture Movement, the May 4th Movement and the Northern Expedition, and all of them are the forewaves of the times. It is called "the stronghold of revolution" and "the matchmaker of new culture". It sells early revolutionary books and periodicals such as New Youth, Guide, Xiangjiang Review and Lu Xun's Scream. In the second half of 194, Chen Duxiu, who was a teacher at Anhui Public School and Zheshan Middle School in Wuhu, lived in the small building of the bookstore and compiled the semi-monthly Anhui Common saying. He went to Wuhu twice, lasting more than two years, and lived here. In 1926, A Ying, a modern writer, edited the radical and fresh magazine Boundless in Wuhu. Wang Ying, a famous performing artist and female writer born in Wuhu in 193s, her autobiographical novel "Bao Gu" vividly describes the local customs of Wuhu in the 192s, showing the prevailing style of Wuhu. In 1911, the new drama "Hate the Sea" was performed in the grand theater for many times, opening the first sound of Anhui drama performance. In the urban Zheshan Mountain, there is the tomb of Dai Anlan, a famous anti-Japanese, and the memorial hall of Wang Jiaxiang, the leader of the Party and state. In the southwest of Jinghu Lake, there are Buwen Pavilion to commemorate the sacrifice of Wang Buwen, the acting secretary of Anhui Provincial Party Committee in his early years, Wang Ying Memorial Hall for cultural celebrities, Aying Library, which compiled the early revolutionary book "Boundless" in Wuhu, and the place where Sun Yat-sen visited Wuhu. The former site of revolutionary ancestors Yun Daiying, Jiang Guangci and Liu Xiping when they were active in Wuhu in their early years. The People's Liberation Army (PLA), which boarded the first ship in the south of the Yangtze River, landed on the shore of Digang, Wuhu. These are the highlights of the "red land".
