In the battle of the Yinlong River between the Huai army and the East Twist army, why did Liu Mingch

After Liu Mingchuan learned about the situation of the East Twist Army, he directly rushed over, which can be said to be a surprise to the Twist Army. Is it strange that such a sudden attack is not victorious?

At the beginning, it was because he understood the situation that he could win, and then he kept pursuing it, which would lead to defeat, and the arrogant army would be defeated.

It can be said that the twisted army was caught off guard. Is it strange that such a sudden attack is not victorious? Ran away with the Ming army and defeated the East Twist Army at Guanshan Pass

In the summer of 1864, Zeng Guoquan led his troops to capture Tianjin. Later, Li Xiucheng, the Young Heavenly King, and Hong Ren were successively **, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed. However, at that time, there were still many rebels under the control of the Qing **

The main forces were the nieces in the north and the remnants of the Taiping army in the south. Lai Wenguang did not inherit the Qing Dynasty in the south with his subordinates, but chose to join his niece in the north.

In 1866, the Nian army was divided into two branches in Henan. One is Lai Wenguang and Ren Huabang. This is the niece of the East, and the other is the niece of the West, led by Zhang Zongyu and Zhang Yujue

At the end of the same year, the Dongning Army had close relations with Hubei. Dongnian's activities have been in Shandong and Henan. This time, the development to the south immediately sounded the alarm to the Qing **.

As a result, Zeng Guoquan, Liu Mingchuan, Bao Chao and others were asked to lead their troops to the front line to surround Dongnian and finally annihilate Dongnian. All parts of the Qing army soon reached the designated position and surrounded the eastern part of the country (present-day Jiukou Town, Zhongxiang City, Hubei).

At the beginning of 1867, in order to cross the river, the Dongning Army wounded Guo Songlin, the general of the Hunan Army, and Zhang Shushan, the general of the Huai Army, and was forced to march along the river。Liu Mingchuan learned about the situation faced by the Eastern Nephew, and fled with the Ming army to kill people, and defeated the Eastern Nephew at Guanshankou, and the Eastern Nephew was defeated and repaired in Yinlong River and other places. At the same time, the Ding army, under the leadership of Bao Chao, marched to Jiukou.

In mid-February, Liu Mingchuan learned that his eastern nephew had assembled at Yinlongjiang, so he wrote to Bao Chao, agreeing that the two armies would attack Yinlongjiang at some point the next day. On February 19, 1867, the Battle of Yinlongjiang broke out. However, Liu Mingchuan advanced the attack by an hour in order to win the honor.

Moreover, according to historical records, Liu Mingchuan had 20 battalions under him, with a total number of nearly 10,000 people. He wanted to withdraw two battalions, so the Ming army that participated in the war was only 9,000 people, and the Dongnian army that came into contact with the Ming army had more than 100,000 people, including nearly 40,000 elite troops.

After Liu Mingchuan learned of the situation faced by the East Twist Army, he took the Ming Army and ran away to defeat the East Twist Army at Guanshan Pass

I thought that at the beginning, I would win because I had the right strategy, but then I lost because I was too proud.

He rushed away with the Ming army, defeated the East Twist Army at Guanshan Pass, and the East Twist Army was defeated and repaired to Yinlong River and other places. At the same time, the Thunder Army, led by Bao Chao, marched to Usukou.

In the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), he joined the Hunan Army Naval Division as a sentry officer, and repeatedly fought against the Taiping Army Naval Division in the Yangtze River from Yuezhou (now Yueyang) in Hunan Province to Hukou in Jiangxi. In the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856), he was ordered by Hu Linyi, the governor of Hubei, to recruit 3,300 Lu Yong, known as the Thunder Army, which was the most fierce one in the Hunan army and was relied on by Hu Linyi.

In the seventh year of Xianfeng (1857), Chen Yucheng of the Taiping Army was blocked in Huangmei, Guangji (now northwest of Wuxue) and other places in eastern Hubei Province, and there was no retreat in every battle. In the following year, he besieged Anqing (now Anhui), an important town on the western front of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and was later annihilated in the Battle of Sanhe by Li Xubin's troops, and retreated west to Susong. In the spring of the tenth year of Xianfeng (1860), in the battle with Chen Yucheng of the Taiping Army, he desperately captured Taihu Lake in Anhui Province with a hollow phalanx and serial marksmanship.

Later, with Zeng Guofan, he was stationed in southern Anhui, and the number of people increased to 6,000. In October, the Taiping army began the second westward expedition, and the camp of Zeng Guofan in Qimen, southern Anhui was in an emergency, and he led his troops from Xiuning to save Guixi.

In the spring of the first year of Tongzhi (1862), he entered southern Anhui from northern Jiangxi, occupied Ningguo (now Xuanzhou), and actively cooperated with the Hunan army Zeng Guoquan to attack Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (now Nanjing). He was promoted to the governor of Zhejiang, and the number of people in the department was expanded to more than 10,000. In May of the second year of Tongzhi (1863), Bao Chao's division re-entered northern Anhui and occupied Chao County, Hanshan, Hezhou (now He County) and other places, so that the Taiping army's plan to "enter the north and attack the south" to save Tianjing failed.

In the summer of the third year of Tongzhi (1864), due to the Hunan army besieging Tianjing, the Taiping troops from all walks of life on the periphery entered Jiangxi one after another and were ordered to aid Jiangxi. After August, the Taiping army Wang Haiyang was defeated in Fuzhou by the tactics of flanking and outflanking, and forced the Taiping army of Chen Bingwen to land more than 60,000 people.

In March of the fourth year of Tongzhi (1865), because he did not want to go on an expedition to Xinjiang, he mutinied in Jinkou, Hubei (southwest of Wuchang), and Bao Chao was ordered to go to Guangdong to participate in the destruction of the rest of the Taiping Army in Jiaying Prefecture (now Meixian District, Meizhou City). In February of the fifth year of Tongzhi (1866), Bao Chao and Liu Mingchuan, the general of the Huai Army, attacked the Eastern Twist Army at the Yinlong River in the Beijing Mountains of Huhu, and turned defeat into victory (see Battle of the Yinlong River). After the war, due to the struggle with Liu Mingchuan, he left the camp and returned home, and the department was repatriated.
