After the battle, it was necessary to recuperate, and Weese's troops marched and fought for more than two months, and with the recent incident, the troops did not come out immediately.

At this time, Wei Ze was naturally not in a very good mood, he was in a bad mood, and he wanted to harm others. So he wrote a letter to Qi Yuchang and talked about the marriage of Qi Yuchang's daughter Qi Hongyi.

Qi Yuchang is not stupid, after seeing Wei Ze's letter, he immediately replied to Wei Ze that he was willing to marry his daughter to Wei Ze, but he didn't know if Wei Ze had ever married a wife.

Wei Ze replied very seriously, saying that he had not yet married a wife. If you can marry Qi Hongyi, then Qi Hongyi is the original match.

Qi Yuchang immediately replied, saying that he was willing to marry his daughter Qi Hongyi to Wei Ze.

The distance between Nanjing and Zhenjiang is very close, and the exchange of these four letters is only five or six days. And Qi Yuchang also seriously told Wei Ze one thing in the letter that promised Wei Ze to ask for marriage, and when Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, waited for Wei Ze to leave Tianjing City, he withdrew Wei Changhui, the king of the north, from the errand of the commander-in-chief of the defense of Tianjing City, and let Wei Changhui go to Anhui. When Wei Changhui handed over all the military power and happily prepared to go to Anhui to take office, Yang Xiuqing withdrew the previous errand with an order.

At this time, Wei Changhui not only did not have the military power of Tianjing City, but also failed to go to Anhui to take office. The dignified King of the North had no military power in his hands at all and was kept in captivity in Tianjing City. It is said that Wei Changhui angrily ran to the king of heaven to complain, and he knelt in front of the king and cried. Although the Heavenly King tried his best to appease, he was helpless. The angry Wei Changhui ran to the back garden of the Heavenly King's Mansion and cut down the flowers and plants with his sword.

Although Qi Yuchang did not make any comments on this, the meaning of this matter was written in the letter agreeing to Wei Ze's courtship, and the meaning was self-evident.

"It's finally begun!" Wei Ze just said something in his heart, and let the queen reveal this content to Wei Changrong.

Wei Changrong's eyes blinked for a while after reading the news, and then he found out the topic, "Fourth uncle, did the East King let the North King stay in Tianjing City like this?" ”

"Before the East King finishes dealing with the Northern King's subordinates, he will temporarily let the North King stay in Tianjing City." That's all Weese could answer.

Wei Changrong opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, and finally could only say with emotion: "Fourth uncle, I suddenly feel that Dongwang is still good to us now!" ”

Wei Ze was amused by such humorous words, and he smiled bitterly: "This is just the beginning. ”

Wei Changrong knew the purpose of Wei Ze's disclosure of the news to him, and it didn't take long for the General Staff to know the news. The General Staff, which had been depressed, finally regained its former efficiency.

Just after the troops rested for ten days and resumed physical training. The new news reached Zhenjiang.

In early August, the Western Expeditionary Army suffered a crushing defeat at Xiangtan. The Hunan army led by Zeng Guofan launched a fierce attack on the southern route troops of the Western Political Army attacking in Hunan, and the Taiping army was defeated at Xiangtan. The Hunan army immediately attacked the Taiping Army's South Route Army in Hunan, and the Taiping Army's Western Political Army South Route Army, which was scattered throughout Hunan, was defeated and retreated.

Until mid-September, Lin Shaozhang led his troops westward, linking Longyang (now Hanshou), Changde, and Taoyuan in the south of Lianke Lake.

At this stage, Yang Xiuqing was working with Wei Ze to solve the Qing army's Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps. After breaking through the Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps, Yang Xiuqing immediately organized reinforcements. After the defeat of Xiangtan, the Taiping army's naval division suffered heavy losses, and most of the Taiping army's warships fighting on the front line were burned by the Hunan army. If the Taiping army wanted to fight the Hunan army again, it had to send warships to reinforce it. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, was well aware of the importance of the Western Expedition to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he immediately "sent an edict" to Wei Changhui, the king of the North who was at leisure, "and asked him to send people to the water camp to select gunboats and gallop to the front line in Hunan and Hubei." ”

The king of the north did not dare to slack off when he received the golden edict, and he immediately "admonished" Zhang Zipeng, the second right of the north hall, to go to the water camp to handle the matter. Zhang Zipeng belongs to characters such as villain Dezhi, and he usually uses the power of the North King to bully the people of Li in Tianjing City. When he received the "commandment" from the king of the north, he immediately rushed to the water camp. However, when he arrived at the water camp, he was not in a hurry to choose a warship, but first let Tang Zhengcai, the head of the water camp, entertain him with good wine and meat, and regarded himself completely as a minister. After he was full of wine and food, he still didn't immediately go to see those boats to adapt to the rescue in Hunan and Hubei, but took a horsewhip to look east and west, full of nonsense and scolding. When he saw that the sailor was not pleasing to the eye, he raised his hand and struck, and when he raised his foot, he kicked it. A few sailors were not accustomed to coming up and reasoning with him, and were cut down to the ground by the men he brought with them, and they were killed on the spot. As soon as Tang Zhengcai, the head of the water camp, persuaded him twice, several big men pounced on him again, so frightened that he turned around and ran to hide, and did not dare to come out again.

Zhang Zipeng's misdeeds angered many soldiers in the water camp, and someone came forward to gather more than 1,000 Taiping soldiers in the water camp, and they each rushed towards Zhang Zipeng's boat in their boats, preparing to besiege Zhang Zipeng. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Zipeng knew that he had committed the anger of the public, so he ordered the sword player he brought to rush out of the way and fled back to Tianjing in a panic.

After hearing that the knife player brought by Zhang Zipeng came back and told him what happened, Beiwang knew that Zhang Zipeng couldn't pick the boat, but almost made a big mess. He was angry and anxious, on the one hand, he had Zhang Zipeng arrested and beaten with a hundred lashes, and on the other hand, he was ready to send another person to pick up a boat in the water camp, and by the way, he apologized to Tang Zhengcai, the head of the water camp, and all the aggrieved brothers. He thought, "I have to finish these things quickly, and when I am done, I will hurry to the East King's Mansion to confess." However, the reckoning office didn't plan to come here, just when he had just finished beating Zhang Zipeng and had no time to arrange for someone to go to the water camp again, he suddenly heard a loud gong outside the house.

Hearing the sound of the big gong, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, hurriedly opened the door and ordered someone to lock Zhang Zipeng and escort him out.

After the establishment of the capital of Nanjing, the Eastern King installed "Luocha" in various parts of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Zhang Zipeng's misdeeds in the water camp had already been reported to the king of the east by Luo Cha. The king of the east was taken aback by this secret report, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the dominant naval army fighting in the south of the Yangtze River, and if the water camp changed, the consequences would be unimaginable. So on the one hand, he sent his cronies Hou Qianfang, the prime minister of the Dongwang Mansion, to the water camp to comfort the wronged soldiers, and on the other hand, Tang Zhengcai, the head of the water camp, added officials to the knighthood. In order to show that he attached great importance to this incident, he also specially asked a few brothers from the water camp to watch how he was angry with those who had been wronged.

According to Qi Yuchang, who followed the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, when the Northern King Wei Changhui led everyone to welcome the Eastern King into the gate in a sincere panic, the Eastern King who was sitting in the Jinyu did not wait for the Jinyu to stop and couldn't wait for the Jinyu to stop, and he couldn't wait for the Jinyu to stop: "Bring that bold fanatic Zhang Zipeng to me the lock." When the king of the north waited for the king of the east to walk out of Jinyu, he immediately knelt on the ground and played: "Zhang Zipeng is bold and reckless, and his crime deserves death." The younger brother had already taken him down, and was about to send him to invite the nine thousand years old. After speaking, he turned back and commanded: "Quick! Hurry up and escort Zhang Zipeng over to invite the nine thousand years old. ”

Qi Yuchang thought that Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, was going to kill someone. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, said: "Brothers of Shuiying, Zhang Zipeng did something wrong in Shuiying, and injured your brothers in Shuiying, and he should have been beheaded!" Remembering his first offense, you will do it, and you will give him a thousand rods. ”

As soon as the king of the east gave an order, the brothers of the water camp who were holding back the fire immediately rushed forward, they first took off Zhang Zipeng's pants, and then picked up his military sticks. After being beaten down by a thousand military sticks, Zhang Zipeng's buttocks had become bloody cotton wool, and Zhang Zipeng fainted to death many times.

After beating Zhang Zipeng, everyone just wanted to breathe a sigh of relief. The king of the east turned his face to Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and shouted: "Zhang Zipeng is a subordinate official of the North Palace, you are not strict in discipline, he dares to act so recklessly, and now he almost dispersed the water camp, and you will not escape the responsibility." ”

Seeing that the king of the east blamed himself, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, was so frightened that he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "The junior brother is not using people properly, it is really difficult to escape the involvement, but it is just ......" Before the king of the north finished speaking, the king of the east said to the few brothers in the water camp who had just finished Zhang Zipeng: "Go!" and three hundred more rods for your brethren in the water camp. ”

I heard that the king of the east asked them to go to the king of the north of the cane, and the brothers of the water camp were stupid, one of them did not hate the king of the north, and the other was that even if the king of the east ordered, they did not dare to fight the king of the north even if they ate the gall of the bear's heart and leopard. Seeing that several brothers in the water camp were standing there stunned and did not dare to make a move, the king of the east completely ignored the bitter pleading of the king of the north, Wei Changhui, and turned to the guards of the palace of the king of the east who came with him and ordered: "The king of the north is at fault, and the punishment is not enough to serve the people, you wait for him to come forward and stick him for three hundred." ”

Everyone was afraid of the majesty of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and the guards of the east hall did not dare to disobey the order, so they stepped forward to press the king of the north, lifted his robe and fought, although they were merciful, but these hundreds of sticks were beaten down, and the face of the king of the north turned red first and then white, and finally turned as white as white paper. After the beating of the three hundred rods, he was carried back to the Beiwang Mansion.

After reading Qi Yuchang's letter, Wei Ze's heart was really stunned. In Wei Ze's opinion, Dongwang Yang Xiuqing's actions are still far from really making a move, and this is by no means simply to fight Wei Ze with all his might. So in the face of this situation, in addition to trying his best to show his deference, when Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, proposed that Wei Ze immediately take out 20,000 fire cap guns, Wei Ze immediately argued with reason.

As Wei Ze expected, Yang Xiuqing actually didn't really plan to do anything about Wei Ze, seeing that Wei Ze was not wronged or complained, he completely informed Yang Xiuqing of Wei Ze's difficulties on a case-by-case basis. Seeing that the goal of striking and scaring Wei Ze had been achieved, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, ordered Wei Ze to be in charge of the Eastern Crusade, and the matter of paying tribute to the fire cap gun could also be slowed down.

Looking at it now, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, really didn't really want to deal with Wei Ze, and the purpose of beating Wei Ze first was completely to clean up the northern king Wei Changhui later. Wei Ze also suspected that Yang Xiuqing wanted to hit the gang of guys who were interested in Anhui's big fat meat this time. From this point of view, Wei Changrong's attempt to go to Wei Ze to inquire about the situation in Anhui was completely stupid.

It's not that Wei Ze can't understand the method of such a trick, but if he really asks him to do this, Wei Ze really can't do it. And Yang Xiuqing not only did this, but also seized the excellent time. First, he deprived the Tianjing soldiers and horses led by Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and made full use of the mistakes of Wei Changhui's subordinates to attack Wei Changhui and Wei Changhui's subordinate Zhang Zipeng.

After this cane reprimand, Yang Xiuqing can logically let the northern king Wei Changhui "recuperate". Within a few months, Wei Changhui would no longer have to think about taking charge of the army. At this time, no one can think of the original deprivation of Wei Changhui's military rights, all that everyone knows is that Wei Changhui, the king of the north, was punished by the king of the east because of his poor discipline of his subordinates. The king of the east looked at the face of the king of the north, and also bypassed the life of Zhang Zipeng, a subordinate of the king of the north.

This set of ruthless methods is extremely beautiful, and others can't say anything they want to say. Although Wei Ze was extremely glad in his heart, his previous actions finally allowed him to get rid of this round of blows, but Wei Ze finally understood one thing, why Yang Xiuqing died earlier than Hong Xiuquan. After doing such a thing, Yang Xiuqing and Wei Changhui sang as in a song, "Those who plant melons get melons, those who plant beans reap beans, whoever sows hatred will suffer himself!" ”
