Fuzhou, also known as Rongcheng, is the capital of Fujian Province. It is located in the lower reaches of the Minjiang River. It is a large city with a population of more than 500,000. In the middle and early Qing Dynasty, Fuzhou was an important marine trading center in China. Its main trade targets were Ryukyu and Japan. Most of the people from Fuzhou Prefecture immigrated to Ryukyu and Japan. The economic development led to rapid population growth, and Fuzhou became one of the largest cities on the southeast coast of China.

In order to strengthen the control of southeast coastal cities, the Qing Dynasty set up the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, and led the military and political affairs of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces, and the ruling office was located in Fuzhou. In addition, the general of Fuzhou led more than 10,000 Banners Army to ensure the Qing Dynasty's rule in Fujian. After the Xinhua Kingdom captured Guangdong, Fujian's land admiral Putuobao led the green camp to participate in the war. The stability of Fujian was almost all controlled by the Eight Banners soldiers. However, the Eight Banners soldiers have never been a good thing. Under their robbery, the entire Fujian was in chaos.

On the morning of March 2, several knights rushed to the city of Fuzhou City. The people who were waiting to enter the city were panicked and hurriedly avoided. The soldiers guarding the city were also very nervous.

"Zhangzhou urgent report! Zhangzhou urgent report! Go away!" a leading knight shouted loudly.

The city gate official was shocked and quickly pulled his subordinates away. This was the army's emergency battle report. If he was hit and killed, there would be no room for reason.

The knights rushed to the Governor's Office and then stopped. These knights were the people sent by Fujian land admiral Putuobao to Fuzhou for help. The fierce attack of the Xinhua army easily broke through the Qing army's defense line, forcing Putuobao to ask for help from Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. However, he didn't know that when the people who were waiting for help arrived in Fuzhou, he had already died in battle.

"General, this is a letter from General Putuobao to the Governor." The knight handed the letter to the guards guarding the gate of the Governor's Office.

"Come, wait for these knights to rest." The guard commander ordered, and then quickly ran to the Governor's Office. Such urgent matters must be reported to the Governor as soon as possible.

Yi Liang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, has been unconscious these days. The Qing army has launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the Xinhua Army in Guangdong. However, hundreds of thousands of troops were blocked from Guangdong and could not enter. This disappointed him very much. The dignified Qing Dynasty actually fell to this point. It was first defeated by foreigners, and now even the abandoned people of the Celestial Kingdom in Nanyang dared to attack the Qing Dynasty. This is simply outrageous. Yi Liang, as a Manchu, has the supreme idea of ​​Manchu in his bones, believing that the whole world is Manchu and the others are their Manchu slaves. Now the slaves have risen to rebel. If he follows his ideas, he should kill all those rebel slaves.

"I don't know if General Pu and others can defeat the Xinhua Army? It's almost two months, but there is still no good news. Putuo Bao will betray the holy grace!" Yiliang sighed. The Fujian soldiers are all brave troops among the green camp soldiers across the country. Yiliang believes that Putuo Bao leads 30,000 Fujian Green Camps and 30,000 Zhejiang Green Camps to support it, so he can defeat more than 10,000 Xinhua Army deployed in Meizhou and Chaozhou.

"Governor General, General Putuobao urgently reported it!" At this moment, the guard commander ran in from outside the door.

"Hmph, what are you doing in a panic? The sky can't fall!" Yiliang said angrily.

"Yes, sir, I know that I'm wrong." The guard commander quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, and then handed Putuobao's letter of help to Yiliang.

Yiliang took it and looked at it, and his face turned pale in an instant.

"Bastard, what is Putuobao doing? He was defeated by the Xinhua Army. He still has the face to ask for help?" Yiliang said furiously. The Qing army was actually defeated by the Xinhua Army, which was completely beyond his expectations. At the same time, this also made him a little panicked. The army led by Putuobao is already considered all the armies of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. After they were defeated by the Xinhua Army, he had no soldiers to send.

"Come here, I will send an order to Zhangzhou and tell Putuobao that there is no reinforcements. He must defend Zhangzhou and block the Xinhua army from Fujian. Otherwise, I will not let him go." Yiliang said angrily.

"Yes, sir." The guard commander hurriedly retreated and sent someone to pass on the order.

Soon, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Yiliang sent people to invite Fuzhou General Bichang and Fujian Governor Liu Hongao. Now the Fujian water and land admirals are fighting in the south, and the three of them are the highest level of Fujian.

In less than half an hour, Fuzhou General Bichang and Fujian Governor Liu Hongao rushed to the Governor's Office. However, the two of them looked unfavorable. When they came, they had already learned why the Governor was eager to recruit them.

"Governor General, what should I do? If Putuobao cannot resist the Xinhua Army, then the entire Fujian will fall!" Fuzhou General Bichang said anxiously. The army led by Putuobao is already the main force of Fujian and Zhejiang provinces. If they are defeated, there will be no troops in Fujian that can fight against the Xinhua Army. Although he still has tens of thousands of Eight Banners soldiers, these Eight Banners soldiers can bully the people. If they are asked to go to the battlefield to fight against the Xinhua Army, they will probably be frightened.

"Governor General, what did General Putuobao do? He has an army of 60,000! With so many troops, not only did not defeat the Xinhua Army, but were defeated by the Xinhua Army. This is simply outrageous!" Fujian Governor Liu Hongao said angrily. If Fujian was captured by the Xinhua Army, as the Chief Executive of Fujian, he would inevitably be punished for losing territory.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Putuobao wrote to him that the Xinhua Army's attack was too fierce, especially the artillery fire was strong. He was about to be unable to resist. Do we have reinforcements in our hands to send him?" Yiliang asked. Although he said before that he would not give Putuobao a reinforcement, if Putuobao was really defeated, he, the governor, would not be able to escape his responsibility. They are all people on the same boat now, and if the boat capsizes, no one can escape.

"Governor General, where do we have reinforcements? The Fujian Green Camp and Zhejiang Green Camp were all sent to Zhangzhou. Now the stability of Fujian is achieved by the Eight Banners soldiers." Fuzhou General Bi Chang said with a bitter face. As a general of Fuzhou, he is of course very clear about the virtues of the Eight Banners soldiers.

"General Bi, if you have to send reinforcements, you may only be your Eight Banners soldiers." said Liu Hongao, the governor of Fujian.

"No, no. The Eight Banners soldiers have been in a state of disarray for a long time. If they are allowed to go to the battlefield, it would be a death!" Bichang shook his head quickly. What a joke? If even the green camps in Fujian and Zhejiang provinces were defeated by the Xinhua army, his Eight Banners soldiers would be useless even if they go to the battlefield. Maybe he would have to go to the battlefield. There is no eyeless swords and guns on the battlefield, and the Xinhua army is so powerful, it is really too dangerous.

"General Bi, is there any other way besides sending the Eight Banners troops to reinforce Putuobao? His lips are dead and his teeth are cold. If Putuobao is defeated by the Xinhua Army, it will be our turn soon." Yiliang said.

The governor of Fujian and Zhejiang Yiliang and the governor of Fujian Liu Hongao both asked Bichang to lead his army to Zhangzhou to reinforce Putuobao. However, Bichang was afraid of death and was unwilling to go, so he found a lot of excuses to make excuses. The three of them argued until the afternoon, but there was no result.

At this time, new news was sent from the front line. After Yiliang read the battle report, he sat back on the chair and seemed a little disappointed. Bichang and Liu Hongao suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.

"Governor General, what happened?" Liu Hongao asked hurriedly.

"Yesterday afternoon, the Xinhua Army captured Xiamen, Fujian Land Admiral Putuobao died in battle, Zhejiang Admiral Li Tingyu and Fujian Navy Admiral Sai Zhenbiao surrendered to the Xinhua Army. Now, the Xinhua Army is advancing towards Fuzhou." Yiliang said with a pale face. They are still arguing about sending troops to rescue, but now, the Qing army in Fujian has been annihilated by the Xinhua Army. This change makes Yiliang feel a little unbelievable.

"How could this happen? How could it fail so quickly?" Fujian Governor Liu Hongao also changed his face. At the beginning, Guangdong fell, and he also wrote to Emperor Daoguang to write to Emperor Daoguang, believing that Guangdong's military and political chiefs were incompetent. But now, he knew that it was not that Guangdong's military and political chiefs were incompetent, but that the Xinhua Army was too powerful!

Fuzhou General Bichang was scared in his heart. Fortunately, he did not agree to lead the army to reinforce. Otherwise, he might be attacked by the Xinhua Army halfway through the way. Will he still have the possibility of survival? The Xinhua Army easily annihilated 60,000 Green Camp, and his 10,000 Eight Banners soldiers were probably not enough to even stuff the other party’s teeth.

"General Bichang, since the green camp has been eliminated, the city defense of Fuzhou will be handed over to you. I believe that the Xinhua Army will soon attack Fuzhou." Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang, said to Bichang.

"Yes, Governor. But I only have ten thousand Eight Banners soldiers in my hand. Can we defend them?" Bichang was completely unconfident now.

"If you can't defend, you must defend it. Even if you die in battle, you will be rewarded with the emperor's kindness." said Yiliang, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang.

Bichang nodded, but he deeply disagreed with Yiliang's view. How could he die for his country at any time? He wanted to live a few more years.

After leaving the Fujian-Zhejiang Governor's Office, Bichang began to deploy the city defense in Fuzhou. However, when the Eight Banners soldiers knew that the 60,000 Green Camp had been destroyed and the Xinhua Army was about to attack Fuzhou, they were all in a bad situation. Even the 60,000 Green Camp was no match for the Xinhua Army, could they still resist the attack of the Xinhua Army? They didn't want to die! So, deserters appeared that night. At least a thousand Eight Banners soldiers fled Fuzhou with their wives, children and children.

When Fuzhou General Bichang saw this situation, he knew that Fuzhou could not be defended. So in the evening that day, he also led his confidant to escape from Fuzhou quietly. (To be continued...)
