"As long as we do things together, it would be a joke to say that everyone doesn't want others to do more and do less. But if someone does it, it's called bullying! Didn't our brothers rise up and rebel, don't we all want to be bullied? But let me ask you again, so if we don't get bullied, do we want us to bully others? ”

There was silence in the General Staff at this time, and when Wei Ze came up with the criteria for determining good and evil, everyone couldn't immediately find a reason to refute it. When everyone rose up to rebel, they naturally felt that they were being bullied, and compared with other heroes, everyone felt that they had done more but gained less. This feeling of being bullied brought about a sense of despair about the world, which eventually led to the choice of people to stand up and overthrow the Manchu regime that was pressing on them.

When Weeser asked if they were going to be the new bullies, the brothers instinctively thought they didn't want to be that bad, but they knew they weren't really refusing to do it.

Wei Ze did not want to force everyone down the path of a new group of oppressors, his goal was to make his brother realize that the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been reduced to a new group of oppressors. Although this matter started a little late, Wei Ze couldn't help it. Until the incompetence and depravity of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were fully recognized, his incitement could only be considered as having ulterior motives.

Being under the command of people means that he has no ability to decide the general direction, and the only way Wei Ze can take out his hand to confront the current system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the General Staff system. He brought the conversation back to the General Staff.

The construction concept, organizational model, and operational methods of the General Staff were elaborated in detail. Wei Zeqing said with a full feeling: "Our General Staff is the fairest, the brothers perform their duties, and whoever has the ability will be on the job." After taking office, everyone's responsibilities were clearly assigned. We are able to win every battle because of this general staff system. Therefore, we must keep this system of the General Staff. It doesn't matter if the king of the east wants to be sealed or not! As long as our General Staff is there, I can say that none of our brothers will be bullied! ”

"Dongwang won't let the system of our General Staff continue?" Lin Asheng, who doesn't like to talk much, asked.

Lei Hu laughed dryly, and said in a tone full of mockery: "The king of the east has sent his nephew Chen Delong, with his virtue of not knowing anything, if this guy is in charge of the General Staff, will we have any good results?" ”

This taunt and warning was immediately recognized by the generals of the General Staff, who had worked in the General Staff for so long that everyone basically knew the ability of the other generals of their own troops. If everyone is completely satisfied with their own and others' job arrangements, it is certainly not possible. However, at least everyone can accept these personnel arrangements. The ability of the generals in each post has also been recognized by other generals.

But Chen Delong, such a hairy boy, has neither outstanding military exploits nor outstanding knowledge and insight, just because he is Yang Xiuqing's nephew, he became the deputy chief of general staff. In recent days, the generals have known too much about how Yang Xiuqing violently attacked the powerful faction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. No one believed that this was Wei Ze's original intention, if it wasn't for Yang Xiuqing to suppress Wei Ze, it would be impossible for Wei Ze to accept such a personnel arrangement.

Seeing that Weeser asked everyone to maintain the General Staff system, all the generals reached a unanimous opinion. And this point of view was said loudly by Wei Changrong, "We will resolutely follow the chief of the general staff to maintain our general staff system!" ”

"That's right!" "We follow the Chief of the General Staff!" "Chief of the General Staff, you just say what to do. I resolutely obey the orders of the Chief of the General Staff! The generals expressed their positions one after another.

Wei Ze was waiting for such a result, and he immediately said: "You still need to be hard to strike iron, let's not care about Dongwang's side for the time being, let's first re-elect the personnel of the General Staff according to the system." With the 45,000 troops in our hands, we can complete the personnel arrangements for the entire unit. Remember, Chen Delong must not be allowed to interfere in this matter. This is our General Staff, not his Chen Delong's General Staff! ”

Of course, everyone looked at Chen Delong unpleasantly, and Wei Ze gave such a clear order. The generals didn't care anymore and all expressed their approval. At this time, Yang Xiuqing still let Wei Ze's troops garrison Zhenjiang, and Wei Ze made an extremely bold arrangement, he first reorganized the 19th Army. The 19th Army was an all-female force, and they were stationed in Zhenjiang along with two brigades of male troops. After the defeat of the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, the possibility of Zhenjiang being threatened was greatly reduced. As long as there are two brigades of male troops, they can hold it.

This arrangement was really violent, and the generals were dumbfounded, and they were so shocked that they didn't even think of asking "Will the king of the east be blamed?"

"You can't let the women's battalion go to the front, can you?" Weeser explained.

"But can they be defenders? Not enough training. Hu Chenghe, the new head of the Combat Training Division, expressed doubts.

Weeser pointed to the map and said, "The thousand-strong unit is in charge of military training. When the Qing army moved in large numbers, our army would naturally be able to appear early. If a small force attacks, as long as the defenders of Zhenjiang can resist for two days, our reinforcements in Changzhou will be able to reach Zhenjiang. What's so scary? ”

From a purely military point of view, Weeser was right. It's just that an all-female army is responsible for guarding a city, and it doesn't feel right. Everyone has a lot of work to do, and there is no time to waste discussing this matter. There is a female army of 5ooo people and a male army of 1ooo people, as long as it is strictly managed and there is no cause of men and women, it is enough to guard Zhenjiang at this stage. So the matter passed for the time being.

After arranging the defenders of Zhenjiang, the General Staff began to review the troops. A series of cultural examinations, military skills examinations, and the evaluation of combat merits. Weeser's principle for this major adjustment is to "break up all of them." In the past, Weeser's troops were arranged on a geographical basis, and in an environment surrounded by mostly fellow villagers, it was easy for the fighters to blend in.

The principle of total dispersal is to completely disperse soldiers from different provinces and different origins. At present, the core personnel of the unit have been getting along for a year or two, and they are already familiar with each other. There is no longer a need to maintain a geographically based organizational model.

There is a higher level of awareness in the General Staff, and the complete dispersal of the troops also minimizes the possibility of forming gangs. Fellow villagers are the easiest relationship to collude with, and after suppressing this relationship, the covert power that can confront the General Staff has been greatly weakened, and the actual control ability of the General Staff has immediately increased by a large margin.

Although Chen Delong was actually set aside, he was still the deputy chief of the general staff on the surface. Recently, the matter of Wei Ze's army was still transmitted back to Tianjing City through Guò Chen Delong, and with the eyes and ears of Dongwang in Wei Ze's troops, the whole picture of Wei Ze's latest troop adjustment was also seen by Yang Xiuqing.

The reason for Wei Ze's major adjustment this time is that he has fought many battles recently, and he should be rewarded for his meritorious deeds. This is a fact, Yang Xiuqing transferred Wei Ze's troops around, and Wei Ze never had time to praise the meritorious soldiers. So Yang Xiuqing didn't think there was anything suspicious about Wei Ze's doing. However, the female army of the Nineteenth Army was arranged to be stationed in Zhenjiang, but Yang Xiuqing was very puzzled when she arrived.

The army of 5,000 people is indeed a force to be reckoned with, but these 5,000 people are women, and Yang Xiuqing does not feel that there is anything to be afraid of. He just didn't understand it. So Yang Xiuqing ordered a comprehensive investigation of this female army to find out what Wei Ze's plan was. Unconsciously, most of Yang Xiuqing's attention was attracted by this female force that was close to Tianjing City.

This is the purpose of Weez, this female army is only a reserve, and does not have the military strength to really conquer the city. Wei Ze is doing a suspicious plan, making a thing that is completely reasonable in theory, but does not conform to common sense. It is to attract the attention of people who are interested in Wei Ze, and Wei Ze's other actions that seem to be normal, but actually harbor evil intentions, are not easy to be noticed.

The more skilled a person is, the more capable he is of intelligence gathering, and he is often confused by the information he collects and his meticulous thinking. This is the norm in the world. The success of the Suspicious Strategy is to take advantage of the enemy's own ability to gather intelligence and the enemy's inability to properly analyze and control intelligence.

This toss took half a month, and as Wei Ze expected, at this stage, Yang Xiuqing, the only one who could strike at Wei Ze's actions, remained silent, neither immediately urging Wei Ze to move eastward, nor publicly questioning Wei Ze's purpose in doing so. Making full use of this time, Weeser completed the reorganization of the troops and strengthened the control of the troops by the General Staff.

At the end of the reorganization of the troops, Wei Ze received the latest news from his father-in-law, Qi Yuchang, from Tianjing City. Tianguan Zheng, Prime Minister Zeng Shuiyuan, was killed!

Wei Ze could see Qi Yuchang's shock from the intelligence. Zeng Shuiyuan was the deputy of Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, when he was alive, when Xiao Chaogui was seriously injured in Changsha City, he took over the command of Xiao Chaogui and led Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and others to continue to fight. After the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom established Tianjing City, Zeng Shuiyuan was awarded the title of Prime Minister of Tianguanzheng, the first of the 24 prime ministers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he was the number one person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, also entrusted Zeng Shuiyuan, the highest official of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the prime minister of Tianguan, who was responsible for the affairs of the Eastern Palace.

Qi Yuchang was quite upside down, and finally explained what he saw clearly.

On December 21, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, pretended to ask his Heavenly Father to go down to earth, and ordered the water source and Li Shouchun, the secretary of the East Palace, to come. Every time Yang Xiuqing descends to the earth, it is not just for him or a few people to see it, all the princes and high-ranking officials in Tianjing City have to come to worship the Heavenly Father and listen to the holy decree. This time, Yang Xiuqing called the East Wangfu and the North King Wei Changhui and others.

The "Heavenly Father" asked, "Do you know how the female official was in a hurry at the gate of the palace?" How do women speak, and have you ever heard of them? One by one. ”

Zeng Shuiyuan said: "The kid really saw that the female official was extremely hasty at that time, just because the kid was extremely ignorant, and when he saw the female official in such a hurry, his heart flew timid, because he was helpless. ”

The "Heavenly Father" said: "The female official once said that if the king of the east ascends to heaven, it will be difficult for them to become officials. Have you heard of this? ”

Zeng Shuiyuan said: "This sentence has been heard by a female official. ”

The "Heavenly Father" interrogated Li Shouchun again and said, "Li Shouchun, have you ever heard of what the female official said? ”

Li Shouchun said: "The kid has also heard this. ”

The Father said, "And I have heard it, and there is no excuse for sin." ”

The Father said to His Highness, "And my sons, what is the sin of the two of them?" ”

The officials responded: "These two people are so deceitful and deceive the king of the east, they are really innocent of death." ”

The Father said, "And when the boys said that they were worthy of punishment, they were sent out and beheaded to show them to the people." ”

The officials shouted in unison, "Obey the Father's will!" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan is the prime minister of heaven, but the prime minister of all the ministers. Li Shouchun is a scholar of the Eastern Wangfu. The six departments of "officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers" in the Dongwang Mansion are now the administrative system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. "Official" refers to civilian officials, which is the same name as "official", which is equivalent to modern civilian civil servants. The Ministry of Officials is in charge of the appointment and dismissal, examination, promotion, decoration, transfer and other affairs of the subordinate officials. Among the six parts, the status has always been in the list. Yang Xiuqing East Wangfu six, each 12 books, a total of 72 books. Li Shouchun is the head of the East Palace.

Now Yang Xiuqing, in the irresistible way of Heavenly Father's descending to earth, openly killed Zeng Shuiyuan, who ranked first among the 24 prime ministers in the official system of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom and was in charge of the affairs of the Eastern Palace, and killed Li Shouchun, the first Shangshu among the 72 Shangshu of the Eastern Palace.

According to what Qi Yuchang wrote, there was only one reason for killing them. Hong Xiuquan sent female officials to the Dongwang Mansion and said to the prime minister, Shangshu and other officials working in the Dongwang Mansion: "If the Dongwang ascends to heaven, it will be difficult for everyone to be an official!" ”

Of course, Wei Ze knew the actual meaning of this sentence: "You helped the East King to bully other people outside his East King family today, and when the East King died, you would have no good fruit to eat!" ”

This is an extremely sharp sentence, the female official is from Hong Xiuquan's Tianwang Mansion, which naturally represents Hong Xiuquan's attitude. Zeng Shuiyuan and Li Shouchun did not report to Yang Xiuqing when they heard about it, Yang Xiuqing not only did not try to cover up the matter, but made public the contradiction between himself and Hong Xiuquan, and forced the courtiers and officials of the Dongwang Mansion to say, "These two people are so deceitful and deceitful of the East King, they are really more than innocent." Then they killed them.

It seems that not only the East King Yang Xiuqing has decided to make a move against the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, but the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan has also made his attitude clear. Both of them no longer care about maintaining a superficial harmony with each other, and instead try to find out the contradictions, co-opting the upper echelons who once did not know the form and still tried to remain neutral when they knew the form shì.

Wei Ze didn't know how to evaluate Yang Xiuqing's approach, and now that the contradiction is completely public, Yang Xiuqing has shown an extremely naïve side. If Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan still maintain a minimum of superficial harmony, then it is not a bad thing for Yang Xiuqing to slowly try it. Now that Hong Xiuquan has openly intensified the contradictions, Yang Xiuqing did not say that he would act immediately, but violently killed the important ministers who refused to publicly stand on Yang Xiuqing's side.

It seems that Yang Xiuqing must not have heard of the "silent majority" in the vocabulary of modern politics. Silence means cooperation, it means acquiescence. Looking at it now, Yang Xiuqing seems to think that only those who openly oppose Hong Xiuquan and support Yang Xiuqing can be regarded as people who can be allowed to save zài. This is simply a child's play against the brutal political struggle!

If it was Wei Ze, his response would naturally be to directly kill Hong Xiuquan, and then execute the female officials under Hong Xiuquan for the crime of improper service. even took advantage of the fear of death of female officials, and asked them to bite out the person who "killed Hong Xiuquan". Using such means, Yang Xiuqing can easily use the crusade and rebellion as a reason to kill all opponents justifiably.

The gap between modern and ancient people's perception of politics is so large that Wei Ze feels that he can't laugh or cry in his heart. Wei Ze asked himself, he was not a flatterer at all. But when it was time to make a statement, Wei Ze did not hesitate to say that he was only loyal to Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. Death to the King of Heaven!

Originally, Wei Ze thought that Yang Xiuqing understood that Wei Ze was really unwilling to support Hong Xiuquan, but he may not believe that Wei Ze really supported Yang Xiuqing. Now he finally felt that Yang Xiuqing really believed that Wei Ze was loyal to Yang Xiuqing.

For people who are naïve in places where they shouldn't be, Wei Ze feels that Yang Xiuqing is really hopeless!
