Chapter 29: The Northern Expedition (1)
"King Dong, what kind of king do you want to give to your subordinates?" Wei Ze originally wanted to say this with a very serious, expectant, and even a little apprehensive attitude. But halfway through speaking, Wei Ze suddenly laughed happily. As for whether or not to get the king, Wei Ze didn't think there was anything really remarkable. It's just that he, an ordinary young man in the 21st century, has become a prince in a certain political system, and Wei Ze's feelings are full of joy, pride, and some overwhelmed feelings.
Looking at Wei Ze's appearance, Yang Xiuqing laughed, "As soon as you say that you will be a prince, you will be happy!" ”
Wei Ze said with a smile: "King Dong, if King Dong is a subordinate to be a king, of course his subordinates will be happy." However, his subordinates asked Dongwang not to look at his subordinates getting carried away, so he joked with his subordinates. If you suddenly sue me, this is teasing your subordinates, and your subordinates can't bear it! ”
Yang Xiuqing put away her smile and snorted, "If you don't say that, I really want to joke with you!" Since you said so, I won't tease you. Wei Ze, with your military exploits, there is still a lot of way to be crowned king. But I want to give you the title of king this time, because you are the first one in the Taiping army to send food to Tianjing without me talking. ”
Wei Ze also put away his smile and listened to Yang Xiuqing's words quietly, he could understand Yang Xiuqing's emotion very well. As the eastern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yang Xiuqing had to run the affairs of the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In the 21st century, enterprises rely on systems to complete their operations. For Yang Xiuqing in 1853, he could only directly order the generals to accomplish various goals. In the case that Yang Xiuqing did not give a direct order to Wei Ze, Yang Xiuqing suddenly received the most urgently needed grain from Wei Ze, and this kind of emotion was naturally impressive.
In this era, you can survive without silver taels, and you can't last three days without food. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could survive, they would not drive the old and weak women out of Tianjing City and let them "harvest rice" on their own. According to information from Wei Ze's intelligence system, after Wei Ze's first batch of grain arrived in Tianjing, the old and weak women outside the city were quickly recalled to Tianjing City for resettlement. No one wants to do that, if they can.
"King Dong, if it weren't for the fierce battle with the Qing Demon in Tianjing City with the main force, it would be impossible for your subordinates to do this anyway." Weese replied. This is not a polite remark, Tianjing City has always been the first line of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing army's northern and southern battalions attacked Tianjing City and the nearby Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, Wei Ze seemed to be far away from the center, in fact, Wei Ze was also far away from the war, away from the crisis. can easily and comfortably show in the Anhui region, where the Qing army is the weakest. In terms of credit, Yang Xiuqing has to account for at least half of it.
"Hmph, it's good that you know!" Yang Xiuqing said with a smile, "Since you have made the merit of sending grain, I will make you the king of Qi." ”
"King Qi?" Weeser repeated. He doesn't feel very good about this prince, and all the famous Qi kings in history basically end badly. Even a Ming lord like Qi Huan Gong was starved to death, and sixty-seven days after his death, the insects that grew on the corpse came out of the window Chapter 29 Northern Expedition (1)
The head crawled out before it was buried.
Wei Ze's expression thinking about this pile of historical anecdotes was misunderstood by Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing picked up a piece of paper and wrote the word "Qi", "You don't have to guess, it's this King of Qi." ”
Wei Ze retracted his thoughts, "Thank you, King Dong." King Dong, you have an official document to inform the whole army. The subordinates hurried back to Anhui, there are a lot of things to do! ”
These words made Yang Xiuqing angry, "Wei Ze! What do you think a king does? My notice? How did you come up with this?! ”
Maybe Wei Ze's attitude was too sincere, Yang Xiuqing thought that Wei Ze was crowned king, just posting a few notices everywhere, and the huge error between the two made Yang Xiuqing rarely unable to find the words to describe it.
"It's all up to the East King's arrangement! I will do whatever the East King arranges! Wei Ze could only answer like this.
During the establishment of Yong'an, the five kings of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom were the four kings of the east, west, north and south, and the winged king Shi Dakai. When they entered Tianjing City, there were eight prime ministers, including Wei Ze, all of whom were famous figures in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although Wei Ze is not Jintian's old brother, he is the first king outside the five kings. This time the king is undoubtedly announcing to the generals that a new round of the road to the king has begun. As long as you can make enough achievements, you can get the reward of the king.
Hong Xiuquan does not preside over military and political affairs, and ceremonial things are so good that he can come forward. Wei Ze's ceremony of sealing the king was presided over by King Hongtian. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not talk about prostration, so everyone just kneels and bows. Wei Ze had already been mentally prepared in advance, so listening to Hong Tianwang reciting limericks, he focused on his legs, which felt a little painful because of kneeling, and finally kept the whole process without being rude.
Wei Ze even had time to secretly observe Hong Xiuquan, the king of Hong Tian, but saw that Hong Xiuquan did not look tired of indulging in women. Wei Ze heard that Hong Xiuquan got wives for himself everywhere along the way, and after arriving in Tianjing City, he even got 88 wives. Even if you sleep with three wives a day, it takes about 3o days to do it again.
And Hong Tianwang looks good, although he is tired, he is the kind of person who stays up all night thinking about things. In other words, although he looked a little exhausted, a certain restlessness brought about by that anxiety was obvious. It is very different from the kind of exhaustion that is purely caused by extravagance, and the inability to concentrate at all.
Wei Ze did not have a good impression of Hong Xiuquan because of this, on the contrary, Wei Ze despised Hong Xiuquan even more. After marrying so many wives, you don't need it, this kind of behavior is a great waste of high-quality means of production. Then it's better not to marry a wife!
Because there was something in his heart, Wei Ze felt that the whole process was quite fast. As soon as the ceremony was over, the East King immediately asked the King of Heaven to escort him back to his house. Wei Ze had already told Yang Xiuqing that he wanted to stay in Tianjing City for a while. It's just that now that he is busy with official business, Wei Ze really wants to go back to work early.
Yang Xiuqing is basically in such a state, and he understands Wei Ze's anxiety very well. If it weren't for Chapter 29 Northern Expedition (1)
Wei Ze sent a large amount of grain from Anhui, and Yang Xiuqing would only be more anxious than now. Therefore, Yang Xiuqing agreed to Wei Ze's request not to set up wine in Tianjing to celebrate, and as soon as the ceremony was over, Wei Ze was ready to leave Tianjing.
Those who came to watch the ceremony were Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and Shi Dakai, the king of wings, and the two personally congratulated Wei Ze, but Wei Ze really didn't dare not accept it. Wei Changhui smiled: "Brother Wei is really the hero of our Wei family. ”
Different from Wei Changhui's words, Shi Dakai just said with a proud posture, pretending to be bland, "Congratulations to Brother Wei, you have to do a good job in the future!" ”
Wei Ze thanked the King of the North and the King of Wings. Wei Ze is not a good speaker, and Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai are not the types that Wei Ze likes. Wei Changhui gave Wei Ze the feeling that he was too feminine, and he was a kind of appearance of following other people's ideas in everything. As for Shi Dakai, Wei Ze's feeling is quite literary. Everything must be behaved. Because the Wing King is already a wrist.
In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze's favorite is Yang Xiuqing. Yang Xiuqing has always been doing things, and all the content of Yiqiē extension is to help Yang Xiuqing do things better.
As for the Winged King Shi Dakai, Wei Ze had a direct feeling that many of the things this person had done were to strengthen his status as the Winged King and the young military strategist of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This is not to say that Wei Ze doubted Shi Dakai's ability, Shi Dakai defeated the Hunan army several times in history, and almost forced Zeng Guofan to commit suicide by jumping into Poyang Lake. It's all real skills. But Wei Ze just didn't like Shi Dakai's energy.
Wei Ze was not familiar with the generals who stayed in Tianjing City, and he deliberately didn't want to make friends with these people, so after the king ceremony, Wei Ze quickly bid farewell to Yang Xiuqing and marched to Anqing with Qin Rigang.
At this time, Wei Ze felt that he could be crowned king, perhaps because he took the initiative to ask Yang Xiuqing to arrange for Qin Rigang to come to Anqing. After the Taiping Army entered Tianjing City, Qin Rigang was the prime minister of Tianguan, and Wei Ze was the prime minister of Dongguanzheng, and the two were quite different in rank. If Wei Ze was not crowned king, Qin Rigang would be able to command Wei Ze in Anhui. Even if the command is not possible, the friction between the two sides is indispensable.
At present, Wei Ze has sealed the king of Qi, and his status is above Qin Rigang. As the elder brother of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Qin Rigang's qualifications are much deeper than Wei Ze's, and it is impossible for Wei Ze to completely subdue Qin Rigang and turn Qin Rigang into Wei Ze's subordinate. Such a model of size and size, Wei Ze saw it when he was reading a book. However, the party involved experienced it for himself, and this was the first time. Wei Ze was not angry with Yang Xiuqing, he felt that Yang Xiuqing's treatment had taught him a good lesson.
In return to Yang Xiuqing, Wei Ze explained the process of his construction in Anhui to Qin Riganghe.
To Weizer's surprise, the senior did not blame Weeser for what he did. Qin Rigang not only did not criticize Wei Ze's policy, but even tried hard to learn from Wei Ze how to implement the essentials of "paying taxes on grain after completing grain" in Anhui. Wei Ze was a little nervous now, he was afraid that Qin Rigang would have a dove occupying the magpie's nest Chapter 29 Northern Expedition (1)
meaning, so he asked Qin Rigang not to touch the newly built bureaucratic system in Anhui for the time being. After all, the bureaucratic system established by Weeser is professionally trained and has targeted government practices. If Qin Rigang really wanted to stick a stick here, even if it was a stalemate with Qin Rigang, Wei Ze would try his best to stop it.
As a result, as soon as Wei Ze expressed his position, Qin Rigang immediately expressed his willingness to support Wei Ze's work. After some mutual discussion, the two sides decided that Wei Ze would first hand over Anqing to Qin Rigang to be stationed. Qin Rigang did not arrive in Anhui alone, but brought more than 5,000 directly subordinate troops. During the station, Qin Rigang could send some trustworthy people to receive Wei Ze's government affairs training. After Wei Ze confirmed that the training was completed, the gang took over power in Anqing.
With the increase in the strength of Qin Rigang's troops, Wei Ze gradually transferred his core strength to the Luzhou area. The main direction will be the Huai River. Qin Rigang held the military and political power in the Yangtze River region of Anhui with Anqing as the center, and was responsible for dealing with the operational requirements of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, in the Yangtze River valley.
After reaching an agreement, Wei Ze also breathed a sigh of relief. With Qin Rigang as his backing and responding to Yang Xiuqing's requests, Wei Ze was able to concentrate on fighting the Qing army in the Huai River Valley. If we can firmly occupy the Huai River, we will push the base area eastward along the Huai River. Once Wei Ze can occupy Xuzhou with a large army, he will completely complete the strategy of defending the river and defending the Huai. The communication between the north and the south of the entire Manchu Qing would be cut off. At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom completed the pattern of the Northern and Southern Dynasties in history, and the two sides confronted each other with the Huai River as the boundary.
At that time, the Southern Dynasties always had the strength to launch the Northern Expedition.
