Zeng Tianyang led the troops to fight, led 3000 soldiers to land by boat and met Taqibu. Zeng Tianyang stabbed Tachibu with a flying spear and injured his mount. It's a pity that Ma Bi was killed by a bullet.

general situation
Among the members who worshipped God at that time, Tianyang was the organizer. He has a long beard and a big figure. Jintian uprising, he has more than 50 years old, and unusually brave. At the beginning, he was awarded the Kingsguard. In the Taiping Army, he was called a warrior.

In June, go to the temple to behave. /kloc-in October, I was promoted to Qiu Guan and became the Prime Minister.

Military events
In June, Zeng Guofan attacked in three ways with an amphibious division. Tianyang was invincible in New Wall, Junshan and Leigong Lake, and withdrew from Yuezhou. Chenglingji War, with casualties, Lien Chan is undecided. Zeng Guofan was refused to go to the East.
In July, Zeng Guofan transferred Chen Huilong, the company commander of Dengzhou Town, and Sha Zhenbang, a Guangdong guerrilla, to lead the Guangdong Navy. On the fourth day of the fourth lunar month (July 16th in the summer calendar), Chen Huilong fired a cannon, and the sound shook Shanpu, which was as thin as Ji Ling. Chu Ruxing and Xia■, the generals of the navy, joined forces to attack at the same time. When the enemy was upstream, the south wind was blowing, the current was sharp and steady, and the ship was flying. However, they retreat easily, and they are afraid of water wars. Seeing that the enemy had miscalculated, Tianyang immediately led a small team to go out first, while the latent brigade was in Huxuan Port. When it received the battle, it cheated and went downstream. When the enemy got new recruits, Sha was really the leader of the governor's team, followed by Chen Hui. The ship was very heavy and ran aground in the whirlpool rapids. Tianyang brought a sampan to attack, and all the hidden ships in Huxuan Port were dispatched. Cut Chen Huilong and Sha Zhenbang. Chu Ruhang and Xia came to help, and Tian Yang rescued Chu Ruhang. Xia was also injured and fell into the water and died. At this time, Zeng Guofan's Xiang navy was founded, boasting that he was capable. Chen Huilong and Chu Ruhang, both his generals, were killed by Tianyang, and the enemy navy was deterred.
On the sixth day (July 18th in the Gregorian calendar), Tian Yang pursued his victory and took 3,000 people ashore from Chenglingji, intending to camp in danger. Without success, Zeng Guofan's army general Tachibu led the army to cover. Tianyang remembered Lin's hatred for Xiangtan's defeat as soon as he saw Taqibu commanding the battle in front. Anger rose from his heart, and he couldn't help being angry for a while. He rushed into the enemy line alone, took Taqibu directly, and shouted, "Tower demon! I'm here to kill you! Stabbed with a spear, Tachibu rode on a horse, pulled out his spear and stabbed again. He used too much force, slipped and fell, and the Qing soldiers swarmed in and died under the enemy's disorderly knives. After two months, Wu Hehan was defeated.
Heart has eleven years on the 15th of the first month, the young master issued a letter, and Lu Mingxin pursued knighthood at the same time. The letter said: "You must not forget your great contribution. You should honestly bring up the Earl and reward him for his loyalty to the Lord. Today, Lu Mingxin is specially praised as the nine imperial censors of China ■ Tianyi, and he was named as the nine imperial censors of China to reward his achievements. " Lu Mingxin's deeds are unknown and he is a hero, so he had to be sealed on the same day as Zeng Tianyang.
function
Zeng Tianyang was one of the most famous generals in the Western Expedition. In the campaign of the Western Expedition, he repeatedly made meritorious military service. In addition to defeating the army, he can also take a surprise victory, defeat the enemy navy and kill its generals, which not only dealt a heavy blow to the enemy's fierce flame, but also shocked the enemy's heart and gallbladder. It was because I couldn't bear resentment for a while and forgot to teach and preach, so I was defeated in the face of the enemy, which caused great losses to the military of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After Tian Yang died in battle, Zeng Guofan reported to the Qing court: "By the 18th World War I, when the enemy was fighting the flames, Zhang Zhihui stepped forward and defeated the fierce front, and his heart was set." He also said: "After Tianyang's death, the coerced followers dared to escape, and there were tens of thousands of people, and the relationship between thieves and robbers broke out one after another." As can be seen from the counter-revolutionary reports, Tian Yang's death is related to the transfer of victory and defeat between the two sides, one of which is very important. Many wars tell us that as a commander, we must never act rashly and engage in a special activity. He must have a sense of responsibility to everyone and regard the army under his command as a part of everyone. Because of his personal adventure, sometimes it will cause great misfortune to his army, and the defeat of his army will inevitably affect the whole people, and sometimes it will even be unimaginable. Tianyang made such a big mistake.
