Qi Yuchang wore the official uniform of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze's research on the official system and official uniform of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was very limited, and he couldn't figure out what kind of official position and level Qi Yuchang was at the moment. Wei Ze looked at Qi Yuchang in a daze, but he didn't understand what was going on.

Qi Yuchang was not as surprised as Wei Ze, or because he had been surprised before greeting Wei Ze, so Qi Yuchang said after saluting Wei Ze very calmly. "King Qi, my subordinates have come to greet King Qi."

"I'm tired!" Wei Ze smiled subconsciously.

"Please ask the king of Qi to go down with his subordinates to see the king of the east." Qi Yuchang said. There were also people around, and Wei Ze couldn't talk to Qi Yuchang immediately. However, Wei Ze was already thinking in his heart, finally having someone he knew to do business in the East Palace, whether he could turn Qi Yuchang into his source of information in the East King Mansion. If the Qing army's Jiangbei camp can be resolved, Tianjing City and Yangzhou will already be able to travel freely, and Wei Ze needs more news from Tianjing City at that time. In fact, not only in the future, but at this stage, Wei Ze really needs information in Tianjing City.

However, this is obviously not the time to expand the source of intelligence, Wei Ze needs to report to Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, about the future battle arrangements, of course, the most important thing is that Wei Ze has to figure out Yang Xiuqing's battle arrangements first.

After meeting Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, Wei Ze felt that Yang Xiuqing seemed to be a lot more cheerful. However, it is difficult to say whether it is the influence of Wei Ze or not, after saluting Yang Xiuqing, Wei Ze did not say much, just waited for Yang Xiuqing to open up.

Yang Xiuqing was silent for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "Have you grown a lot?" ”

"King Dong, your subordinates can't always be children." Weser laughed.

Yang Xiuqing waved his hand to let Wei Ze sit down, and said, "This is also true." The Qi Yuchang person you know is good, why didn't you recommend such a person to me earlier? ”

Wei Ze sat down steadily, and said solemnly: "How can the subordinates know who the East King needs?" And at that time, his subordinates were full of errands assigned to his subordinates by King Chengdong, so where did they have the strength to search for someone. ”

"Then how did the attack on Jiangbei camp go?" Yang Xiuqing asked.

Wei Ze told Yang Xiuqing all about his plan, including Wei Ze didn't know much about the situation and was ready to fight with the Qing army first. After saying this, Wei Zecai said: "My subordinates don't know when they will be able to hit Yangzhou, since they haven't arrived in Yangzhou, it's all false to say anything." Now that his subordinates have finally arrived in Yangzhou, they immediately came over to ask Dongwang what arrangements he had for this? ”

Yang Xiuqing seemed to accept Wei Ze's explanation, he first pondered for a moment, and then said a little gloomily: "Brother Wei, there are many people who have always said that I spoil you and never force you to do things. When I heard this, I always thought, I don't need to rush you, you have done all the things I have given you, I just urged them, and they have not been able to do what they asked them to do! ”

Wei Ze didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only reply in general: "My subordinates have said a long time ago that my subordinates are subordinates of the East King. It is the duty of subordinates to serve the king of the east. The king of the east is not thin on his subordinates, and he is promoted to the official of his subordinates, and he is the king of Qi. The subordinates are really grateful to Dade! ”

Listening to Wei Ze's words, Yang Xiuqing smiled and said: "If you are the king of Qi, that is also the master of the king of heaven!" ”

Wei Ze shook his head slightly, "King Dong, if others think like that, my subordinates don't know." However, in the eyes of his subordinates, it is the East King who is the one who is under him! That's right. ”

Yang Xiuqing just waved his hand at Wei Ze, meaning that Wei Ze should not mention this matter again. He said: "Brother Wei, there are no soldiers and horses in Tianjing City, and you can only let Brother Wei do it yourself to attack the Jiangbei camp." ”

"But I don't know how many soldiers and horses there are in Tianjing City?" Weser couldn't help but ask. He had a very limited understanding of the situation in Tianjing City, especially the forces in Tianjing City in Yang Xiuqing's hands.

"There are 100,000 people who have to say something," Yang Xiuqing replied.

Wei Ze didn't dare to answer, most of the time he had to shake the burden behind when he spoke like this. Sure enough, Yang Xiuqing continued: "It's just that among these 100,000 people, there are seventy or eighty thousand old and weak women. ”

In less than a second, Wei Ze calculated a result based on the figures Yang Xiuqing said, there were as many as twenty or thirty thousand elite troops in Tianjing City. Even if there were only twenty or thirty thousand people, Wei Ze couldn't quite understand why Yang Xiuqing couldn't solve the Qing army in the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei. Could it be that these Qing troops are as cunning as Xiong Qi in the tile kiln, so that the Taiping army cannot find fighters?

Wei Ze's negotiations with Yang Xiuqing did not last long, and Yang Xiuqing was also a very pragmatic person. Since he decided to put Weese in full charge of the battle, it made no sense to exercise direct command of Weese's battle. And since Wei Ze has not conquered the Jiangbei camp at the moment, it is even more ridiculous to discuss what Wei Ze will do after winning the battle in the future at this time. So Yang Xiuqing asked Wei Ze to go first to see how Yang Xiuqing arranged the house for Wei Ze in Tianjing City.

Wei Ze knew that sooner or later he would have to have a house in Tianjing City. Theoretically, he, the king of Qi, is a prince with a fief, but this is the rule formulated by the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan. Whether Yang Xiuqing will support this system in the end, Wei Ze is very unconfident. If Yang Xiuqing really wanted to engage in the traditional model of centralization, the feudal system would not be realized, and Wei Ze himself would have to settle down in the capital.

The house had no electricity, no running water, no gas and no heating. No matter how big it looked, it was too far from Weese's hope. This house is quite close to the old Manchu City, and the Manchurians in Tianjing City have been killed cleanly, so there are many empty houses. Wei Ze was not interested in his own house, nor was he interested in who the previous owner of this house was. After gaining a certain amount of freedom of movement, Wei Ze had already sent someone to contact Qi Yuchang.

In the evening, Qi Yuchang really came to Wei Ze's house. When the two met this time, there was no difference between superiors and subordinates in the officialdom, although Qi Yuchang had never been an official before, but in order to keep his family's book collection, Qi Yuchang was also quite proficient in interpersonal relationships. After just a few words, he made it clear that he was willing to provide Wei Ze with information about the interior of the Eastern Palace.

"I'll arrange for someone to connect with you in Tianjing City." Weeser said. Since it is an intelligence network, it is naturally hidden, no matter whether Qi Yuchang sincerely cooperates with Wei Ze or not, Wei Ze cannot fully trust Qi Yuchang.

After roughly determining how to get in touch, Wei Ze smiled and said, "Mr. Qi, when I met the East King today, the East King praised you quite a lot!" ”

Qi Yuchang hurriedly waved his hand, "That's the East King False Praise!" I've just read a few more books. Some people used a lot of allusions to the recital proposed by the East King, and the East King asked me to help explain it. Before I came into contact with the King of the East, I thought that King Qi you were the unparalleled heroes in the Taiping Army, and after meeting the King of the East, I knew that there were no less than the King of Qi in this world. ”

Qi Yuchang praised Yang Xiuqing so much, Wei Ze became interested, "I have actually been fighting outside, and I haven't had much contact with the East King, but I don't know how Mr. Qi got under the East King." I don't know what Mr. Qi thinks of Dongwang. If Mr. Qi doesn't care, can you tell me? ”

Qi Yuchang briefly introduced the exhibition. In order to prevent his daughter from being drafted, he asked Wei Ze for help. Wei Ze wrote a letter to Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. Unexpectedly, the East King attached great importance to this, and actually called Qi Yuchang to the East King Mansion in person. After the two talked, Yang Xiuqing learned that Qi Yuchang was a bibliophile, so he said that he wanted Qi Yuchang to go to the East Wangfu to be Yang Xiuqing's staff. Qi Yuchang knew that there was no chance for him to refuse at this time, so he had no choice but to agree to Yang Xiuqing's request.

Although this is a forced story, Qi Yuchang couldn't help but get excited when he talked about being Yang Xiuqing's staff, "Dongwang is really a genius in the sky. When someone quotes scriptures, he asks me to find the corresponding allusions. I just know where those allusions come from, and although Dongwang doesn't read much, after I tell those allusions in the vernacular, Dongwang can not only understand these allusions, but also understand the truth behind these allusions. Compared to people like Dongwang, my book is simply for nothing! ”

Wei Ze chuckled twice, the heroes in history may not have read a lot, but they all have strong comprehension skills without exception. Wei Ze's achievements today are due to the fact that he has a growth environment that is countless times better than that of China in 1854. And Yang Xiuqing himself can only rely on his own talent and talent.

After Qi Yuchang praised Yang Xiuqing so warmly, he began to reveal some news to Wei Ze, "King Qi, it is you who have mentioned to the East King that you must guard the Huai." ”

"Yes." Wei Ze replied in surprise that he didn't believe that Yang Xiuqing would tell a new aide like Qi Yuchang about the grand strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Qi Yuchang explained: "The king of the East asked me to look up some allusions, I checked many books, and repeatedly thought about the connections in these books. Later, I heard them mention it by chance. That's when it dawned on me. I have also seen a lot of people in the Dongwang Mansion, and I am afraid that you are the only one who can have this kind of knowledge. The king of the east has been thinking about this matter recently, and has also found a lot of books from the southern and northern dynasties......"

"Mr. Qi, you can just think about these things yourself, don't go out and talk nonsense." Wei Ze hurriedly persuaded.

Qi Yuchang naturally knew that Wei Ze said this for his good, and he immediately replied: "This is natural, I don't dare to talk nonsense about such a big thing." ”

The two talked a few more words, after all, Qi Yuchang had just entered the Dongwang Mansion, and he knew very little news. So soon there was no news to tell Sù Weeser. And Wei Ze repeatedly explained to Qi Yuchang, "You have to keep yourself as the most important thing." If you don't get the news to me right away, I'll just get the news sooner and later. If you let others know that you have passed on the news to me privately, then we have both committed a great crime! Do you know that? ”

"Of course I know this!" Qi Yuchang replied quite solemnly with some gratitude.
