Relatively speaking, "Jiangnan Camp" is more powerful, and its commanders such as Zhang, Qin Ruhu and Feng Zicai are not ordinary people. In addition, the "Jiangnan camp" also trained a bunch of spies, let them sneak into Tianjing, make waves, and cooperate with the Qing army to capture the city. Zhang is the most famous spy of "Jiangnan Camp": he rebelled against more than 3,000 people, and before he died, Yang mistakenly "killed" 34 people, and then his car cracked.
Zhang sneaked into Tianjing and began a journey of destruction.
Zhang, also known as Zhang, is a native of Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, and a family of officials. 1In March of 853, the Taiping Army besieged Nanjing, and Zhang organized Yong ying and armed forces to rush into the city to cooperate with the Qing army to defend the city, killing many Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldiers. After the fall of Nanjing, Zhang entered the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom under the pseudonym Ye Zhifa and began his destructive spy career.
Born in an official family, Zhang has three advantages as a spy: excellent psychological quality, rich knowledge and smooth officialdom, which is very convenient for his work. After mixing with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zhang got a special position-an "official" in the north, who was in charge of a cultural and educational work in Wei Changhui and was regarded as a mentor.
Shortly after entering North Korea, Zhang met his "contact" and teammate Wu, a fellow villager who was in charge of the textile industry and specialized in making clothes for princes. From then on, the two began a spy journey: provoking infighting and cooperating with the Qing army to attack the city.
After provoking the "sailor incident", Wei Changhui was scolded 200 times, and the contradiction between the North King and the East King intensified.
1February, 853, the Taiping Army moved eastward from Wuchang, and fishermen, sailors and boatmen from Hubei and Hunan followed suit to help the Taiping Army transport food and soldiers. Yang once promised that after Hubei captured Nanjing, Hubei sailors could return to their hometown to live; Those who stay in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are not bound by the "separate camp system" and can lead a normal family life.
And the result? Yang failed to keep his promise, and the sailors on both sides were strongly dissatisfied. Zhang took advantage of the situation and said, "The East King treats Cantonese well, but Hunan people badly", which provoked the contradiction between Guangdong and Guangxi soldiers. 1February, 854, Zhang Zipeng, a general under the Northern King, came to Xiaguan River to prepare to lead the navy to reinforce the two lakes. Soldiers from two lakes are unwilling to return to their hometown. Zhang Zipeng was furious and directly beat the sailors, which led to the mutiny.
Sailors on the same coast make trouble. In order to stabilize the situation, Yang directly blamed 400. Wei Changhui, the northern king, had poor military discipline, and his staff was responsible for 200. Tang, a Hunan-born general, was promoted to commander of the navy and awarded the title of prime minister. In this way, the sailors of the two lakes stopped making trouble, but the contradiction between the North King and the East King intensified, laying a curse for the Tianjing incident.
Show the clues, escape into the mountains, and be captured alive by boy scouts.
The outbreak of the "sailor incident" had a great influence. Almost all the naval forces of Taiping Navy come from Hubei and Hunan. If they rise up and rebel and join hands with the Red Single Ship Fleet of "Jiangnan Camp" to besiege Tianjing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be in big trouble. In order to appease the sailors of the same country, Yang spared no expense in Heavenly Father's Descent, flogging Wei Changhui 200 times in public, offending the North King and reaping the consequences.
Soon, Zhang contacted the quack and prepared to assassinate Dongwang on the grounds of treating Yang's eye disease. Fortunately, Li Changjun, who is in charge of medical work, discovered that the "quack doctor" was powerless and exposed Zhang's conspiracy. At dawn, I fled to Zhang Shanli for refuge. Yang ordered the city to search for him.
The task of catching spies was carried out by the Boy Scouts. These 14-year-old soldiers have both passion and courage. Li Xiucheng's adopted son, Li Rongfa, led more than a dozen soldiers into the mountains to search for Zhang, and successfully captured him, making great contributions to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Wu rescued and cooperated with the Qing army to attack the city, and the door was in danger.
Zhang was captured alive and Wu was very nervous. He was afraid that the "spy organization" in Tianjing City would fall into the net, so he contacted Xiang Rong, commander of Jiangnan Camp, and prepared to capture Nanjing and destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this time, there were more than 3,000 interested traitors, 100 Wu's close friends, and some defenders were drawn together, ready to attack Tianjing and let the Qing army enter the city.
At night, Wu led 100 people to approach the door quietly, only to find that many fences had been set up at the door and connected with chains. Wu could only cut the chain and move the fence, which alarmed the defenders. Wu shouted: the loyalist came, and the gatekeeper panicked and was hacked to death. At this point, the expert Zhang led the Qing soldiers to attack the city gate and prepared to enter the city. The toilet door is a mess.
Fortunately, the fortification of the gate was strong, and Zhang went into battle lightly without siege equipment, so the siege was blocked. Soon, Taiping Army reinforcements rushed to the door, bombarded the Qing army with guns, and besieged Wu, finally stabilizing the situation.
Before he died, he pulled 34 people as a cushion, and Yang regretted it.
Wu failed to seize the gate, but it shows that the spy forces in the city are extraordinary and extremely destructive. The "spy network" of the Qing army must be completely destroyed, otherwise Tianjing will not be peaceful. Shi Dakai's father-in-law is in charge of criminal cases, trying Zhang Yi's case. Naturally, he also presided over it. As the boss, Wei Changhui also wants to participate in the trial.
In the face of evidence, Zhang admitted that he was a spy, but he was not the biggest leader. Tianjin has "big fish". So, who is the "big fish"? Wei Changhui wanted to know, but Zhang said that there were too many spies to remember. Please bring me the official roster and I will point it out one by one. Wei Changhui was very wise, and didn't give him a roster, so he could try to remember and say as many as he knew.
Zhang didn't get the roster, so he had to name the senior officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom one by one and give up 34 so-called "big fish", such as Wang Shangshu, Zhou Beishun, Yan Dingbang, the counselor of the Prince of Yan, and Deng Futing, the head of Chinese medicine.
After Wei Changhui got the list, he gave it to Dong Wangyang for him to decide. Yang was furious and beheaded all 34 people as punishment. Are these 34 people spies? Of course not, Zhang took this opportunity to provoke internal killings; With Yang's help, he pulled up the mat before he died. Soon, Yang knew about the "trap" and regretted it. He stopped the trial and directly dismembered Zhang.
