In the first month of the third year, the army went down to the south of the Yangtze River, and Fang Kai went to Nanjing first to attack Jubaomen. Not only Nanjing, but also Zhenjiang and Yangzhou. In March, he sent a letter to explore the Central Plains, taking Fang Kai as the general. In April, it broke through Huaiguan and reached Fengyang House. He entered Henan in May, crossed the river from Gongxian to attack Huaiqing House, entered Shanxi in the west at the end of July, turned back to the east, and entered Zhili from Henan. In September, it was directed at Baoding and Jing Qing earthquake. Xu Gong sealed Hu Hou. After crossing Cangzhou in the north, Tunjun was alone in the town, and quietly heard from Tai Ying in Fengxiang Jinghai. The Qing army dared not commit crimes.
Back to Fucheng in February of the following year, he died in Pinghu. In March, retreat to Dongguanglian Town. In April, Fang Kai led more than 630 cavalry to break through to Linqing to meet reinforcements. On the way, I learned that the reinforcements were defeated, so I entered Gaotangzhou and refused to follow Sheng Baojun, the remaining minister of the Qing Dynasty. Fang Kai made a ladder out of cloth on the wall facing west, and there was a tunnel under the south wall. The other three doors are all built on the civil foundation, leaving only a gap for easy access. After May 10 (May 20 in Gregorian calendar), they often go out of town for night raids. Every attack, the cavalry of the Qing army were scattered and many people died. On the night of June 19th (the first night of July in Gregorian calendar), Jilin cavalry dispersed first, and then swept from south to southwest. After playing Shengbao Camp, Shengbao became more frightened and more self-protective.
Fang Kai entered Gaotangzhou and sent a report to Fengxiang, saying that the reinforcements had dispersed. Please retreat immediately. He waited in Gaotangzhou and went back to the south together. In the first month of Yi Rong's fifth year, Fengxiang returned to the army, and the Qing emperor asked Shengbao for instructions, and ordered Senggelinqin to move to Gaotangzhou. He and Shengbao's men came to besiege. Fang Kai decided to break through when he saw that Sangrinqin's army had arrived and Fengxiang's army had been wiped out. There were more than 500 soldiers. On the evening of February 10th (the evening of the 29th day of the first month of the Gregorian calendar), Fang Kai led his troops out of the East Gate and rode south to Ma Xiangdong, intending to enter Fengxian County of Jiangsu Province economically and cross the Yellow River to return to Henan.
The next morning, I went to Fengguantun, Chiping County. Sanglin Qin led the cavalry to catch up, followed by infantry, besieged Feng Guantun, built castles on all sides, shelled villages and destroyed houses. The Taiping Army dug in the village, circled three times, and could pass underground, that is, dug a pit in the ditch to avoid gunfire. Outside the city, another small hole was dug, and the soldiers lay on the ground and looked out. As soon as the Qing army approached, the shotguns could hit them, and they fired. The Qing army suffered heavy casualties. Sanggelinqin didn't dare to advance, so she turned to planning. Because the Laohan River next to Fengguantun can be used to attack the river, water is used to attack the river and the canal is used to irrigate Fengguantun.
The Taiping Army opened a tunnel from the chariot to the southwest side of the Qing platform in order to break through the gap. On the eighth night of March (the night of February 28 in Gregorian calendar), we pretended to break through here first, and then cheated when we met the Qing army. The Qing army thought it was a defensive rock, and the Taiping army would not break through this aspect again, without warning. The next night, Taiping laid mines here, blew up the wall in front of the fort, rushed out immediately and killed the Qing army. The Qing army panicked and fled for their lives. When a siege occurred outside the fort, the Taiping Army was in a hurry to fill the city. Sanglin Qin had heard the police and flew troops to intercept the city. The Taiping Army could not enter the city, but seized the cannons on the battery together with other weapons and calmly returned to the ditch. The Qing emperor, who was defeated in the game, ordered Fu Yu, the minister of military affairs, and others to say with joy: "Even the soldiers were killed or injured, and the artillery positions were lost. Like this, ... with the courage of more than 10,000 soldiers and surrounded by more than 100 thieves, I am still uncertain and deeply worried. "
On March 13 (the fourth day of March in Gregorian calendar), the river diversion project of the Qing army was completed and flooded the next day. In the dike, there are three or four feet of water in the high place, five or six feet of water in the low place, and three or four feet of water in the hidden place of Taiping Army, and gunpowder and grain are flooded by half. On the second day of flooding, Shui Piao took out the gunpowder bags and mine baskets buried by Taiping Army near the Qing army battery in the northwest. Now that this place has been flooded, it is impossible to blow down the fence with mines. After March 29th (March 20th in Gregorian calendar), the water was surrounded and it was difficult to fly over the heavy city. However, the heroic Taiping Army never bowed its head in the face of difficulties and attacked the northern and southern fortresses of the Qing army overnight in an attempt to break through. In the end, due to the disparity in strength, the enemy was surrounded by floods and was intercepted and returned.
Sangolin Qin wants Fang Kai to live, thinks he loves his talents and wants him to vote. Fang Kai is at its wit's end, so why not cooperate? Instead, he decided to send Huang, a confidant pioneer, to lead 140 soldiers into the refugees on April 2 1 day (April 13 in Gregorian calendar), pretending to surrender and meeting the enemy outside. He saw the monk Ge Linqin sailing through the heavy city and thought that the enemy had been cheated. On the morning of 24th (Gregorian calendar16th), Taihō suddenly appeared, and the dust was flying, making it impossible to tell the north from the south. He wrote a fake surrender letter to monk Qin. Monk Qin told him to disarm first. Fang Kai led the soldiers, armed to the teeth, boarded a boat and pretended to come and disarm. He thought that Sangolin Qin would not be ready to surrender, while Huang and others were waiting outside to meet him. It's a good time to break through. As soon as he gets to the city, he can escape. Unexpectedly, Sengqin had already seen through his false surrender, so he killed Huang and others first, and he was helpless. Want to cross the river out of the city, he secretly sent a team of more than ten thousand people, surrounded by the left and right wings. Fang Kai was occupied by the enemy, and the soldiers were captured by this city.
Monk Qin sent Li and his subordinates Huang Ziduan, Li Tianyou, Tan, Wei Mingfu and Cao Dexiang to Beijing, and 100 soldiers were killed and sacrificed in Fengguantun. Fang Kai went on a hunger strike on the road, but officials refused to eat after repeated persuasion.
On the fifth day of the fifth year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (April 27th in the summer calendar), seven people, including Li, died in Beijing. When the enemy tied Huang to his upper body, he kicked two of them to death, wounded two and startled them. When I arrived at the execution ground, the audience was crowded with people. Duan Yi said loudly to the audience: "Since I left Tianjing, I have been invincible, and Clear The Demon is vulnerable, and its demise is just around the corner." When the enemy tortured Fang Kai and Duan Yi to death, they held their heads high, held their heads high and glared, showing their contempt for the enemy and unyielding heroism.
Thirteen years after the giant panda was opened, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom paid tribute to Gong Fang, chased the seal and invited the king, and his son Li Yongbao attacked the knight.
Lin Fengxiang (1825— 1855), general of Taiping Army. Wuyuan (now Wuming) people in Guangxi are called Guiping people in Guangxi; Talking about Jieyang people in Guangdong. Zhuang, a farmer.

185 1 (the first year of Xianfeng) joined the Taiping Army in Yong 'an (now Mengshan), Guangxi. As the Kingsguard. At the beginning of 1853 (the third year of Xianfeng), Ke Wuchang took the lead in boarding the city and became the deputy prime minister of Tianguan. In March, we attacked Nanjing and breached Yifeng Gate for the first time. After making Tianjin its capital, Li, Luo and Outline led the troops to conquer Yangzhou and Zhenjiang. In May of the same year, he served as commander-in-chief of the Northern Expedition with Li and Ji, and led more than 20,000 elite soldiers to swear allegiance to the Northern Expedition in Yangzhou. Passing through Anhui, Henan and Shaanxi, he invaded Zhili, defeated the governor of Zhili with more than 10,000 people in Linluoguan (now Yongnian) and sealed Hu Jinghou. Continue to lead the army from Shenzhou (now Shenxian) to Cangzhou, reach Yangliuqing, push Tianjin, and conquer Jinghai (a county in Tianjin). Because of going deep alone, food and grass are not available, and it is cold winter, I am gradually in trouble. 1854 south, retreat to Fucheng. Ji was killed and retreated to Dongguanglian Town. 1February, 855, the Qing army stormed Lian Zhen, and the inspector group fought hard and repeatedly made enemies. In March, Lian Zhen fell, was wounded and captured, and died in Beijing. Pursue the seal and beg the king.
[Edit this paragraph] Experience
Lin Fengxiang, Daoguang five years (1825), was born in Guiping, Guangxi. Because he lost his mother when he was a child, his father's affection was not contained, which led him to be bohemian. When I was a teenager, when I was in trouble, I stepped forward to help me. In the 28th year of Qing Daoguang (1848), the county magistrate arrested the evil gentry in the county, and the seventh uncle Lin Xiuzhong sold him four pigs for travelling expenses and left home. Wandering around the rivers and lakes, opening a shop to sell divination, and getting to know Hong Xiuquan and Yang. In the first year of Xianfeng (185 1), he joined Hong Xiuquan in jintian uprising and became one of the 40 sworn brothers.
Hong Xiuquan established Yong 'an, and Lin Fengxiang was named Sima. Since then, Lin Fengxiang has been a pioneer, leading the Taiping Army to attack Guilin, Changsha, Wuchang, Zhenjiang and Nanchang. He fought bravely and made brilliant achievements, and was promoted to deputy prime minister Tianguan.
In the third year of Xianfeng (1853), in February, the Taiping Army went south by land, and Lin Fengxiang led the troops to attack by land, which was invincible. In March, he led an army to break the Yifeng Gate in Nanjing, capture Yangzhou and seal Jinghu Hou.
In May of that year, during the Northern Expedition of Taiping Army, Lin Fengxiang was ordered to lead more than 20,000 people from Pukou (now Nanjing) to the north via Chuzhou, Anhui. In June, he conquered Guide (now Shangqiu), an important town in Henan Province, defeated more than 5,000 people of the Qing army and seized a large number of iron cannons and gunpowder. Because there are no boats, we can't cross the Yellow River to the north, so we have to follow the south bank of the Yellow River to the west. We mainly crossed the Yellow River in Gongxian (now Gongyi) in July.
After crossing the river, we surrounded Huaiqing (now Qinyang), besieged the city pool inside and guarded the reinforcements outside. Our army fought repeatedly with the enemy, failed to break the city and delayed the fighter plane. At the beginning of September, it was evacuated, entered Shanxi from Yuanqu, broke Pingyang (now Linfen), arrived at Hongdong, and then inserted into Taihang Mountain eastward. At the end of September, it broke the forest canopy (now Yongnian County, Hebei Province) and entered Zhili (now Hebei Province). During the earthquake in the Qing Dynasty, the Governor's Office was set up in the capital to transfer troops to stop the Northern Expeditionary Army from going north.
Lin Fengxiang escapes from reality and attacks imagination. /kloc-arrived in Yangliuqing, Jinxi at the end of 0/0, and camped in Jinghai and Liu Du town for reinforcements. Hong Xiuquan and Yang learned that the Northern Expeditionary Army was blocked in Tianjin, and in February of the following year, they mobilized 7,500 reinforcements from Anqing to the north. Lin Fengxiang waited for reinforcements for too long, and he was forced to withdraw from Jinghai and Liu Du Town.
In the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), he went to Dongguang County and made an agreement with Li to divide his troops. Li took the lead and went south to meet the reinforcements. When he arrived in Gaotang, Shandong Province, he learned that the reinforcements had been defeated in Linqing and had to move forward according to Gaotang's plan. Lin Fengxiang continued to be trapped in the town, lacking food and grass inside and no reinforcements outside, and stubbornly resisted the Qing army in Horqin County with inferior troops. In the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), xilian town was abandoned and Donglian Town was concentrated.
The commander-in-chief of the Qing army, Seng Gelinqin, surrounded the town layer by layer. When the rainy season came, the Qing army diverted water from the South Canal and flooded the towns, leaving the Northern Expeditionary Army in a state of running out of ammunition and food. However, Lin Fengxiang remained calm and continued to direct the breakout. Even the monk Green Bird thinks that the Northern Expeditionary Army is "besieged on all sides, cutting off grain and rice, feeding on the people, fighting or defending, taking it easy and without chaos", which fully shows Lin Fengxiang's military talent and general demeanor.
In the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), on March 7th, after nine months of fighting alone, Lian Town was finally captured by the Fourth Road of the Qing Army. Lin Fengxiang was badly injured, and some soldiers retreated to the tunnel darkroom. The next day, he was betrayed by the traitor stone and captured. Sills, such as assistant minister Qing and company commander Jing, sent people to Beijing to face the general to handle the case. Under the torture of the Qing court, Lin Fengxiang only left a 403-word "confession" which recorded his life and experience. Finally, he was killed in Beijing Xicheng. When the death penalty was executed (that year), Lin Fengxiang showed no fear. "Where the knife went, I still watched and didn't make a sound." He is thirty-one years old.
1863, Hong Xiuquan posthumously awarded Lin Fengxiang as the guardian of the heavenly army in front of the Summer Palace, assisting Xie Wang Chitose.
Note 1: Because the first meaning of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom took place in Guangxi, a large number of Zhuang people took part in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising. Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai (whose mother is a Zhuang), Li, etc. are all Zhuang people. Liu Lu, the first martyr of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was later dubbed the King of Huan, and Tan Shaoguang, Mu Wang and Meng En, who were later dubbed the King of Huan, were all strong men. Liu Lu was the most effective assistant of Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan before the Taiping Rebellion, and made important contributions to the Taiping Revolution. (Excerpted from Children of Zhuang Nationality in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Revolution by Huang Xianfan —— published in Guangming Daily 1956 in May) The most authoritative Minority in China (People's Publishing House 198 1 Edition) compiled by the editorial team of China Minority, the fifth series of ethnic issues of the State Ethnic Affairs Commission. It can be seen that the national composition of these heroes is beyond doubt. Today, some skeptics just make much ado about nothing or are far-fetched.
Luo Outline Hong Xiuquan jintian uprising, of course, mainly relied on Yang, Feng Yunshan, Xiao Chaogui, Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai and other "Shinto" backbones, but did not participate in the "Shinto" Luo Outline, and was also a major general who made important contributions to the development of Taiping Army from the beginning.
Luo Outline, formerly known as Luo Outline, was born in Lantian Capital (now Yuhu Town), Jieyang County. Born in Qing Dynasty (about1810-1814). He's not that ambitious. As an adult, he wandered around the rivers and lakes, "traveling back and forth in Tangqu, unpredictable"; It is often "extremely fierce" to rob the rich and help the poor. In the 29th year of Daoguang (1849), there was a famine in Lingnan, and Luo Outline led the hungry people to riot. In the second year, due to the urgent pursuit of officers and men, he followed the Boshan ship army up the Xijiang River and entered Guangxi. Joined the secret anti-Qing organization "Heaven and Earth Society", organized believers in Yong 'an (now Meng County, Guangxi), and moved in Xunwu, Wu, Yong 'an, Lipu and other places to attack the city and plunder the land and raid the Qing army. According to Luo Dun's "The Battle of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", Hong Xiuquan set out to fight with Feng, Yang, Xiao, Wei and Shi to the death in western Guangdong. "At that time, there were more than a thousand people in Shuikouluo Outline, looting Yongan House." They met Hu Yihuang. Hu Yihuang advised him to "return to Xiuquan". Then, the Taiping Army sent Feng Yunshan to do further work on Luo Outline, and he was "persuaded" by Luo Outline. Luo Outline accepted the Taiping Army's program of overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and establishing a new dynasty, and "loved the strictness of its military laws and the teaching of running the army". Finally, he obeyed the organizational principle of centralized and unified leadership of Taiping Army. At the beginning of the first year of Xianfeng (185 1), more than 2,000 people joined the Taiping Army from Guiping estuary and were appointed as commanders of the Second Left Army.
Since then, the outline of the "water bandit" Luo, which has more than 2,000 people, has become the backbone of the Taiping Navy. From March to September of that year, Luo Outline fought with Taiping Army, from Jiangkou to Bauhinia, to Wuxuan in the west, to Xiangzhou in the north, and to Jintian and Pingnan in the east. In September, Luo outlined that Xiao Chaogui, commander of the former military region, was the pioneer to attack Yongan. He used the tactics of a diversion to capture Yong 'an, beheaded Jam, deputy commander of the Qing Pingle Club, and Wujiang, the magistrate, which made great contributions to the Taiping Army's occupation of the first government. The Taiping Army was established in Yong 'an and rested for half a year. Luo Outline was familiar with the local valley residents and "recruited 3,000 people to make up for them" and was "well treated". At the same time, Luo Outline also invited Ren Wenbing to lead Boshan Ship Army to attack Wuzhou, tengxian, Pingnan, Guiping and other places twice to contain the Qing army.
After the Taiping Army captured Yongan, Ulantai led the troops to surround Yongan House. In the second year of Xianfeng (1852), on April 5th, under the command of Hong Xiuquan, Luo Outline led 2,000 dead soldiers to attack in the rain at night, breaking through Gusuchong, which was heavily defended by the Qing army and known as the "iron gate of the world", destroying more than 20 barracks and checkpoints of the Qing army, and seizing more than 0 tons of gunpowder/kloc-0 and other military materials, thus breaking through the Yong 'an Taiping Army. The Taiping army broke through successfully, the Qing army was defeated and Wulantai was killed. To this end, Luo outline once marched into Guilin under the false banner of Wulantai, hoping to win without fighting, but was seen through by the Qing army and besieged Guilin for more than a month. Luo Outline turned to attack Xing 'an and Quanzhou. After capturing Quanzhou, an important town in northern Guangxi, Luo outlined that "the soil will be upgraded to a general system to govern one army." It can be seen that Luo Outline has made outstanding contributions to the Taiping Army from the very beginning, both in strengthening the effective strength of the Taiping Army and in actual combat.
Since then, the outline of Luo has entered Hunan with the Taiping Army and moved forward. In mid-February of 65438+, he was promoted to general Jin Guanzheng of Yuezhou. In the second year of 65438+ 10, he served as the commander-in-chief of Shengdian in Hubei Province, and was in charge of the navy with Qin Rigang, the prime minister of Tiangong. After the Taiping Army captured Wuchang last month, it left Wuchang in early February and headed east along the Yangtze River. In the middle, Shi Dakai led the army to attack Anqing, an important town in Anhui; The water army defeated the Qing army and went to Chaohu Lake in the rat gorge in eastern Hubei. On March 6th, 2009, Lin Fengxiang, Lai and Ji attacked Nanjing. Luo Outline and Qin Rigang led the navy to defend occupied Nanjing.
After the Taiping Army made Nanjing its capital, the troops such as Pai and Li marched eastward, then turned back to the Northern Expedition and directly captured Yanjing. Luo outline led the water army to cooperate with the battle. On March 3 1 day, Luo outline and lieutenant Wu ruxiao were ordered to capture Zhenjiang by water. Zhenjiang, known as Jingkou, is the intersection of the Yangtze River and the Canal. It is not only the crossroads between north and south, but also the gateway to southeast Nanjing. Has always been a battleground for military strategists. After Luo Outline successfully captured Zhenjiang, he built six new city walls and six fortresses relying on the Beigushan Mountain, the Yangtze River and the Canal, making unremitting preparations for the war. In May and June, he lost in a row and attacked the Qing army. "Go up to the left five gates of the temple." In July, Luo Outline made a surprise attack on the enemy camp outside the North Gate, and then flew to the enemy camp outside the East Gate, which made the Qing army "all seven camps besieged the city", stabilized the situation in Zhenjiang, and was promoted to Prime Minister in the winter.
In Zhenjiang, Luo Outline also attached great importance to stabilizing social order and restoring normal economic life. He implemented the sacred warehouse system, requiring all workers to belong to the government, establishing male and female warehouses, mobilizing people to donate military supplies according to their abilities, and at the same time implementing the policy of "buy and sell equally". However, it is not advisable to burn Jinshan Temple and Kanluoji. To worship God and abandon the gods.
In the third year of Xianfeng (1853) and 10, in order to cooperate with the Taiping Army's westward expedition, Luo Gang and Governor Wu Ruxiao highlighted the support of Jiangnan and Jiangbei. In the battle of Tianjia Town, Wuchang Tongzhi recruited Na Chaoyong to surrender to Taiping Army, and Yang "almost ordered Luo Outline to take over", which gave Luo Outline greater autonomy in Zhenjiang. In March, Luo was transferred back to Nanjing and attacked (now Hefei) with him. In April, he was ordered to guard Anqing instead of Qin Rigang. 1 1 month, successively captured Jiande in Anhui, Liu Dong and Shimen in Raozhou, Jiangxi. 12, 10, Luo Gang (who has been promoted to Prime Minister of Winter Official, with great achievements) learned of the fall of Tianjia Town, that is, he led a Qingqi from Duchang to Jiujiang by land to meet the Western Expedition Army of Qin Rigang, the prince of Yan, and fought fiercely with the Xiang Navy in Xiaochi. Because Anqing Taiping army came to reinforce, defeated the Qing army and destroyed its camp. At the beginning of the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), Zeng Guofan's Xiang army approached Jiujiang, and Luo Gang led the army to cooperate with Shi Dakai's army, so as to lure the enemy in, divide and rule, and introduce the Xiang navy into the lake. 1 1 In February, at midnight, Shi Dakai took a canoe from Jiujiang, and Luo Gang raided the Xiang navy from Xiaochikou, burned more than 100 Xiang warships and captured Zeng Guofan alive. Zeng Guofan escaped from Luo Zenan military camp by boat and tried to commit suicide by drowning, but Luo Zenan stopped him. This battle greatly destroyed the arrogance of the Xiang army and played a positive role in the stability of the Sanke Wuchang and Anhui-Jiangxi base areas of the Western Expedition Army. Since then, although Luo Outline returned to Nanjing occasionally, he basically insisted on fighting in Anhui and Jiangxi, so he was killed in 1998. After his death, Hong Xiuquan was made King of Fen.
The history of Luo's death is different, but there is no doubt that he was killed in battle.
He fought bravely and used his troops "like the wind, and won the championship." In particular, he loves soldiers like
Parents, "can share joys and sorrows with others, and foot soldiers are happy to die", so "whenever there is a mutiny, it must be like this."
Follow the outline. "Even the so-called" thief information compilation "in the Qing data has to admit:
"Luo Gang alert, you thief interface for almighty, but because the old thief in western Guangdong, work on Qin Rigang.
There is no seal. "
Besides being brave and good at fighting, he was outstanding in the Taiping Army. The Outline of Luo deserves to be a great book.
The reason is that he has a unique strategic vision and outstanding diplomatic skills.
After the Taiping Army made Nanjing its capital, Hong Xiuquan and Yang were eager to win Yanjing. In this regard, Luo outline clearly put forward different views. He believes that "if you want to go north, you must first set Henan; You are stationed in Henan, and the army is crossing the river "; "Otherwise, if you go to the southern nine provinces first, you will have no worries, and then you will set off in three ways. One is Xiangchu, the other is Hanzhong, and you will rush to Xianyang, and you will sweep the left side of the mountain (Shandong) with Xu and Yang (Xuzhou and Yangzhou), and then sweep the right side of the mountain (Shanxi), and you will hunt swallows." He also warned: "If the troops are suspended in the depth and there is no backup for committing risks, the road to failure will also be lost." In addition to these two strategies, Luo Gang also pointed out that since Nanjing is the capital, it is necessary to build more warships and refine the navy. Before the warship is built, rafts should be used to intercept the river and seize the water advantage of the Yangtze River. Regrettably, these correct suggestions with strategic views were not accepted by the autocratic Yang. When the Northern Expeditionary Army left, Hong Xiuquan also told him with a "summons": "Infernal affairs are rushing to Yan Dou, and there is no greed to seize the city and land." It's really stupid In this regard, "Luo Outline" clearly and sadly pointed out: "The world is undecided, but I want to live in this capital. How long can it last? " I don't belong to any class "As expected, the Northern Expeditionary Army was defeated by Tianjin, and the Taiping Army was finally eliminated. Luo outline, unfortunately.
Luo Jiping guarded Zhenjiang and was ordered to participate in foreign affairs. Zhenjiang is the only way for foreign merchant ships to enter Nanjing. In the third year of Xianfeng (1853), on April 28th, Wen Han, the British minister and governor, and Midler, his entourage, went to Nanjing to spy on the Taiping rebels' attitude towards the West, and left Nanjing in May. Wen Han's trip to Zhenjiang. Luo briefly dealt with it. In Luo's letter, Taiping Army "condemned the Manchu Dynasty", but "benefited foreign countries, China people and business people", reminding the British side not to be used by the Manchu Dynasty and contribute to it. When he got the book and sent Midler ashore to see Luo's outline, Luo said earnestly that the two sides "agree with one god" and should help each other as brothers. And warned British businessmen to "stop selling opium". Midler also declared that he was willing to remain neutral. On June 5th, British missionary Dai Zuoshi arrived in Zhenjiang from Shanghai, visited Luo Outline, stayed for three days, and presented books about Jesus to Luo Outline. Luo Gang also came back with books published by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At the same time, he sent a letter to the British Consul in Shanghai. In this letter "Luo Gang's Letter to the British Consul in Shanghai about the fifth checkpoint in the temple", Luo Gang advised them not to come temporarily during the war. This is not "not to hinder trade, but to fight two rounds to avoid inconvenient communication with each other", and also to prevent the Manchu navy from taking the opportunity to attack the Taiping rebels. The book once again stated that "all those who worship God are brothers", and the book asked him to "move out all the books in his brother's office now and learn to teach reading seriously". This is tantamount to trying to publicize the views and opinions of the Taiping Army through the hands of missionaries. When dealing with foreigners, Luo Outline didn't know the nature of the invaders, but he was humble, reasonable and restrained, and was worthy of being an outstanding diplomat.
