Return to North Korea

When Wang Haiyang was a teenager, he worked as a helper with his brothers. I have developed a tough and aggressive temperament since I was a child. It is said that his well-off enemy once killed a squire because of a quarrel, and was chased by the government and fled to the rivers and lakes. He used to be a bandit in Dingyuan Mountain, resisting the repression of government forces, and his whereabouts were erratic.

Xianfeng came to Hezhou for three years and defected to the Taiping Army commanded by Shi Dakai. After the Tianjing Incident in Xianfeng six years, Shi Dakai left, and Wang Haiyang moved to Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian, Hunan and Guangxi.

Xianfeng left Shi Dakai, Peng Dashun and Tong Ronghai for ten years.

In August of the 11th year of Xianfeng, he met more than 200,000 loyal Li Xiucheng in Jiangxi. Hong Xiuquan praised this army and named it Helping Heaven Army. After Wang Haiyang arrived in Jiangxi, he attached himself to Li Xiucheng, joined Zhejiang, Hangzhou and Yuhang, and was promoted to Kang Wang.

Hit all over the country

In August of the second year of Tongzhi, the once prosperous situation in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces operated by Li Xiucheng was declining. At that time, the Qing army pressed Hangzhou and divided its forces to attack Yuhang. Ren Yuhang military affairs, Hangzhou Shoujiang listened to Wang Shili and refused. 165438+ 10, in the Qing dynasty, the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang came to Yuhang to supervise the war, and ordered Lan, Yang Changjun, Huang and other generals to attack Yuhang City with 13000 troops, which was repelled by Taiping Army. At the end of the year, there was a heavy snow, but Wang Haiyang remained strong. Seeing the bad weather, the Qing army quickly arrested the Taiping Army at five checkpoints. The next day, the main position of Taiping Army was attacked again. Lin Qingyan is located in the north of Yuhang. Wang Haiyang learned that he ambushed the Qing army at Henggang. The front team of the Qing army went deep and the back team had to stop. Ambush everywhere, attack from front to back, crush the Qing army. The Qing army dared not force Yuhang again.

In February of the third year of Tongzhi, Hangzhou fell, and Yuhang had to cry alone. Wang Haiyang was forced to give up eastward, from Huzhou to Anhui to Jiangxi, and then to the Guangdong-Jiangxi border. In July, after the fall of Tientsin, the whole army of Jiang Haiyang belonged to Wang Shi and Li Shixian. The king ordered troops to station at the junction of Changting, Liancheng and Shanghang, but Nanyang Township thought it was a dead end.

In the first month of the fourth year of Tongzhi, Liu Dian, a general of the Qing Dynasty, attacked Nanyang Township and fought the Taiping Army in Mayang Cave. Wang Haiyang led the troops to defeat the invading enemy and pursued Xinquan. Wang Haiyang led twenty thousand yellow and white troops to fight on the battlefield, and Liu Dian led Qin Bing to do or die. At this time, the Qing army reinforcements arrived and the Taiping Army was forced to retreat to the West Bank. Many people drowned while crossing the river. Wang Haiyang was almost captured, and his soldiers struggled to rescue him in the mountains.

During the Spring Festival, Wang Haiyang lost more than half, so he gave up Nanyang Township and went to Yong 'an and Baisha. Because Liu Dianjun followed, he went from Kanshi to Guiyang and entered peace. In May, after Li Shixian was forced to leave Zhangzhou,

Before that, in June, Ding Taiyang surrendered to the Qing army. In September, Liu Shunde betrayed Lin Zhengyang and died in Panyu; From then on, Wang Haiyang was the only Taiping Army galloping in Fujian, Guangdong and Wuling. The situation was very dangerous, but Wang Haiyang knew it was impossible. He is determined to fight the Qing court to the end. In October of the third year of Tongzhi, Wang Haiyang entered Fujian from Jiangxi and adopted flexible guerrilla tactics to preserve his strength. However, several times when I went north, I was stuck in the road. In June of the following year 165438+ 10, the Taiping Army was defeated in a fierce battle near Longnan, Jiangxi. Soon, after Li Youwang Yuanji and Wang Fenghuang and Peng Hou defected, the spy Gan Chong joined the Wang Haiyang army again.

In December of Tongzhi four years, Wang Haiyang was blocked from going north several times. In order to borrow the city for the New Year and let the tired teachers have a rest, he suddenly moved eastward from Li Anping, sprinting more than 200 miles a day, and taking advantage of his weakness to capture Jiaying House, a major town in eastern Guangdong, which greatly surprised the Qing army. However, due to the weak situation, the Qing army made full efforts to encircle and encircle Wang Haiyang's strategic plan, so it was necessary to set up Jiaying Prefecture. The Qing army is constantly flowing and heavily guarded.

In January of the fifth year of Tongzhi, Wang Haiyang led the army out of the city many times, captured the besieged Qing army in one fell swoop, and won many battles. However, due to the large number of Qing troops, Wang Haiyang was forced to abandon nearby villages and towns and reduce its troops in the city.

be killed in action

16, Wang Haiyang suddenly decided to cross the rubicon; Fight to the death with the besieged Qing army, divide our forces and rush out three ways. Liu Dian, the main force of Xiang army, resisted with all his strength. The Taiping Army fought bravely and marched forward bravely, and the roads and streams were stained with blood.

However, because the battle plan was leaked by the traitor ahead of time, Liu Dian learned from the traitor Ding Taiyang that every battle must start first, and ordered Ding to lead the Qing army to set up guns and carry out side attacks. When Wang Haiyang came to urge with a great army, Sun Ding and his gun were lit, and the children were like. Unfortunately, Wang Haiyang was shot.

The Taiping army died in countless deaths, and the Qing army dumped their bodies in the river, totaling no less than 3 thousand, all of which went down the river for five days.

After Li Shixian, Wang Haiyang was the only general who could command the whole army at that time, and his sacrifice accelerated the downfall of the rest of the Taiping Army.
