Changsha satrap Luo was dismissed, and Zhang was ordered to convene people to discuss how to defend Changsha. Bao Qibao, the new waterway prefect, made suggestions to move the Bodhisattva statue of Chenghuang Temple to the south gate, which could resist the invasion of long hair. Everyone scoffed, but at least it could improve the morale of the soldiers and civilians, so we had to agree.

Wang Yao Temple, a strange peak near the south gate of Changsha, became the temporary base of Taiping Army. Decided to attack the city from the south gate, but the city gate could not be broken for a long time. With extraordinary courage, Kang Lu took the lead in climbing the city wall and setting fire to the Bodhisattva statue, which greatly dampened the morale of Changsha defenders. At the critical moment, Luo's reinforcements (Chu Yong-Deng Shaoliang) transferred from Xiangtan came from the rear and resolved the danger.

Changsha city suddenly came in with many foreign troops, and the management was once chaotic. Zhang saw that Chu Yong-jun of Heyuan was orderly and had a clear-cut stand, so he thought it was high time for him to visit. According to the current situation in Changsha, he suggested that we should take the initiative to attack. Although the Qifeng has been lost, the grave of Cai Gong can't be lost again. In addition, we recommend "Three Lights"-"Old Ming Luo Zenan, Xiao Ming Liu Rong"

One day, Ouyang went to Baishui Cave in Dongshan, where Zuo lived in seclusion, to chat with him and comment on poetry. Tell Mrs Zuo that Zuo lied that there was a man on board with a knife to resist a hundred water thieves. In fact, it was a dream. Zuo refuted the dreams of predecessors and later generations took them seriously. About half of "Twenty-four History" is a story about Zuo fighting a water thief on a boat, which has not been refuted, and his new poems have not received enough attention. Zuo regrets that his favorite "Urging Andy to Draw Plums" has not been appreciated. Suddenly I feel that Zuo is not only the first-class Guan Zhonghe, but also the heart of Tao Yuanming. The two men chatted with Zeng Guofan. I used to have a little trouble with Zuo before, and I spit on each other.

Zuo received a letter from Daoming, saying that Zhang blackmailed him with 100,000 taels of silver as his salary. Zuo was furious and rushed to Changsha. He learned that it was just a routine for Jiang Zhongyuan to lead himself out of the mountain, and he could only promise to help defend Changsha.

Changsha must first solve the problem of military pay. Zuo offered a suggestion, gave a banquet in the yamen, invited several bosses and businessmen, and invited Ouyang to do the work from the inside. Finally, he bullied and lured, and successfully borrowed120,000 taels of silver.

After the fortification of Tianxin Pavilion in Cai Cemetery, the Taiping Army could not attack for a long time, but other places were extremely brave. Even the deep pit leading to Tianfei Palace exploded under the walls of Changsha. Xiao Chaogui, the Queen Mother of the West, was shot in the chaos. East Wang Yang calmed down his morale and decided to focus on the overall situation, waiting for the heavenly kings to meet and then going north to Jinling. The next day, he ordered Shi Dakai to lead 3,000 troops across the Xiangjiang River and plunder food to the west. Left took the opportunity to order, He Chun, and pursued in three ways. As a result, all three roads were defeated and left heart was furious. That night, the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan announced that the imperial seal of the Ming Dynasty had been found at the bottom of Wang Yao Temple, which inspired the whole army.

Zuo believes that these long-haired troops are powerful and need to be trained to defend against the enemy. He first thought of Luo Zenan, but his qualifications were still lacking, and finally decided to recommend Zeng Guofan.
