Chapter 18: Separation (9)
"Brother Qin, what do you think of the matter of the Wing King?" Chen Chengying asked Qin Rigang.
As Chen Chengying thought, Qin Rigang didn't immediately come up with the key point here, he replied: "We have to catch up with the Wing King!" As long as you can catch up with the Wing King and persuade him to return to Tianjing City, then everything is easy to say! ”
Chen Chengying knew that Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, lacked talent and couldn't see through many things. If it was an ordinary time, Chen Chengying, who was a friend of Qin Rigang, still felt that this was Qin Rigang's advantage. But now that the situation is critical, Chen Chengying must let Qin Rigang fully understand the current point. So Chen Chengying slowly explained: "King Yan, it's not a matter of catching up with the Wing King now. The Wing King came back this time because he wanted the North King to take the initiative to back down, and the Wing King would be the left auxiliary army division. He didn't expect that the North King didn't have the slightest intention of backing down, but wanted to make the Wing King back down. The two clashed......"
After the death of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, Chen Chengying always thought that the one who wanted to inherit Yang Xiuqing's power the most was Wei Ze, the commander of the strongest legion in the Heavenly Kingdom, but now it seems that Wei Ze's desire for Yang Xiuqing's power is pitiful. On the contrary, there was a fierce struggle between Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui for the power of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East.
In the initial conspiracy, Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui returned to Tianjing City at the same time, and the North King and the Wing King shot together, and they were able to calm the field immediately. But the actual situation became that when Wei Changhui made his move, Shi Dakai was still swaying slowly outside. The responsibility for the murder is completely borne by Wei Changhui, and the purpose of Shi Dakai's visit to Tianjing City this time is not to endorse Wei Changhui's platform, but to make Wei Changhui hand over the supreme power.
Chen Chengying underestimated Shi Dakai's insidiousness, and on the night when he and Wei Changhui did not reach a deal, Shi Dakai decisively escaped from Tianjing City. This is also enough to prove that the purpose of Shi Da's return to Tianjing City is by no means to quell the incident, but to obtain the political legacy left by Yang Xiuqing.
The struggle between Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai is not something that Chen Chengying can interfere in, but Chen Chengying also has his own position. First of all, he supported the greatest orthodoxy of the Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan, and secondly, Chen Chengying had no plans to bury anyone. If Wei Changhui, the king of the north, has no future, he doesn't care about letting Wei Changhui bravely take responsibility for the killing of Yang Xiuqing and the East Wangfu.
But how far Shi Dakai will do things is something that Chen Chengying is not sure about. But no matter how far things go, Chen Chengying can't kill Shi Dakai. If Shi Dakai is killed, the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will undoubtedly fall apart, and everyone will simply go home.
After listening to Chen Chengying's careful narration, Qin Rigang also understood. As the Wing King Shi Dakai, who was able to confront the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Northern King Wei Changhui in terms of status, he undoubtedly represented the attitude of the various forces outside the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Tianjing City at this time. That was to immediately quell the turmoil and hold Wei Changhui responsible for the killing of the East King.
"Isn't the king of the north dead?" Qin Rigang said nervously.
Seeing that Qin Rigang finally understood, Chen Chengying continued to analyze it at a deeper level, "Brother Qin, whether the Northern King will die or not is now a sure thing. But whether I will die or not depends on what Shi Da will do when he has a meeting. If Shi Dakai just wanted to kill the North King, we would naturally be fine. If Shi Dakai is ready to take our lives, then I am afraid that we will also be in danger. ”
Unexpectedly, Qin Rigang was not so excited about this question, "I am loyal to the Heavenly King, and the Heavenly King naturally knows." If the Wing King wants to move us, then the Heavenly King must agree. If the King of Heaven really wants our lives, then let's admit it. ”
"Huh?" Chen Chengying didn't expect Qin Rigang to think so, this kind of judgment of the worst situation is correct, but the response to the worst situation is too negative.
However, Chen Chengying is a smart person after all, and he has experienced so many lives and deaths, especially so many people died in this Tianjing Incident, he is a little open. It is very difficult to say how the situation will unfold at this stage, although Shi Dakai has occupied a huge advantage, but Yang Xiuqing has a greater advantage back then, didn't he die in the same way? At this time, the most important thing is to wait, not to mess up first.
After determining this, the two pretended to chase after Shi Dakai behind. To move forward is to move forward, but the degree of catching up is not fast. Of course, if Shi Dakai was unlucky and stopped, the two would not have deliberately released Shi Dakai.
Two days after Qin Rigang and Chen Chengying went out, they suddenly got the news that their people were coming from Tianjing City, and Wei Changhui, the king of the north, ordered Shi Dakai's entire family to be killed. Except for Shi Dakai's father-in-law Huang Yukun and Huang Yukun's daughter who did not die, Shi Dakai's other family members were killed cleanly.
Is Wei Changhui crazy? Chen Chengying and Qin Rigang both had such thoughts in their minds.
Wei Changhui himself felt that he was not crazy, but he hoped that he was crazy. Ever since he finished talking to Shi Da, Wei Changhui has fallen into a deep despair that he can only feel when he has to face reality. He originally thought that as a great contributor to the extermination of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, how could he immediately take over Yang Xiuqing's authority. But Wei Changhui soon realized that he was wrong to think that some of the generals outside were Dongwang Yudang. It's not that some of the generals outside are the Dongwang Yu Party, but the generals outside are all the Dongwang Yu Party.
Whether it is Shi Dakai, Qin Rigang, or even Wei Changhui, they are all people sent out by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. It's just that Yang Xiuqing didn't know that these people had already contacted the Heavenly King privately. Except for these three people, the others were all sent out as Yang Xiuqing's trusted subordinates. Like the gang in the East Palace, they are all Yang Xiuqing's subordinates.
Now Wei Changhui completely understands where his failure is, and he completely missees what kind of power Yang Xiuqing has in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This power is so great that too many people, even if they know that Yang Xiuqing is a rebel, because they are inextricably linked with Yang Xiuqing, they must execute the person who killed Yang Xiuqing. In other words, even if it was the Northern King Wei Changhui who killed Yang Xiuqing, the Northern King Wei Changhui would have to pay Yang Xiuqing's life.
This kind of realization undoubtedly made Wei Changhui fall directly from heaven to hell, if he is really crazy, then he can naturally live in the paradise that he has constructed with his spirit. But now there is no paradise for Wei Changhui to escape into, he can only accept the mental torture soberly.
After a few days of torture, Wei Changhui's spirit could not bear it. In an attitude of self-abandonment, Wei Changhui ordered the killing of Shi Dakai's entire family. "Since Lao Tzu is dead, then don't think about it!" When Wei Changhui gave the order, he thought indignantly.
Shi Dakai's family had already been arrested and put into the Beiwang Mansion, and with an order, these people were dragged out and cut down at the gate of the Beiwang Mansion. Knowing that the family members of his biggest rival in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had been killed, Wei Changhui finally felt a little better in his heart.
It was in the morning to kill Shi Dakai's family, and just after noon, a violent gunfire suddenly came from outside the Beiwang Mansion. Wei Changhui was stunned, who was so bold that he dared to kill the Northern Palace? But this surprise didn't last long before it turned into worry, when he first entered the city, he only brought five hundred people, and most of the three thousand troops who entered the city were Qin Rigang's soldiers. At this time, Wei Changhui's other troops had not yet returned from Jiangxi, and he himself knew that he had created too many killings in Tianjing City, so he did not dare to recruit the troops in Tianjing City to supplement the guards of Beiwangfu. Now it is still the five hundred people who guard the Northern Palace. Five hundred people is a lot, but it is not enough to guard the Northern Palace.
In a panic, Wei Changhui vaguely heard someone shouting outside: "The king of heaven has a will, Wei Changhui kills people indiscriminately, and he must be arrested." The other brothers have nothing to do with Wei Changhui, lay down their arms, we won't kill you! ”
"The king of heaven has a will, Wei Changhui kills people indiscriminately, and he must be arrested. The other brothers have nothing to do with Wei Changhui, lay down their arms, we won't kill you! ”
The shouts were repeated over and over again, and with each repetition, the gunfire and shouting outside diminished a little. Wei Changhui is also the person who killed the scene, and he knew that something was wrong as soon as he heard the voice. He immediately called out to the guards and went out.
In the garden of the Beiwang Mansion, Wei Changhui's guards were surrounded. I saw that that person was Zhang Yingchen, a close minister under the command of the King of Heaven, and Zhang Yingchen's face was frosty at this time, and when he saw that more than 1,000 people led by him surrounded the Northern King Wei Changhui and Wei Changhui's guards, he immediately waved his hand.
All of Zhang Yingchen's subordinates aimed at Wei Changhui and Wei Changhui's guards with fire, and one person next to Zhang Yingchen came out of the crowd, his voice was like a bell, and everyone on the other side could hear it clearly as soon as he opened his mouth.
"The king of heaven has a will, Wei Changhui kills people indiscriminately, and he must be arrested. The other brothers have nothing to do with Wei Changhui, lay down their arms, we won't kill you! ”
After only shouting three times in a row, Wei Changhui's guards saw that they had no chance of winning at all, and resistance was just a dead end, and they didn't know who took the lead first, but they saw that everyone threw down their weapons and left Wei Changhui's side. In just a moment, Wei Changhui became a loner, standing alone in the courtyard.
Looking at the wolf-like enemies around him, Wei Changhui subconsciously took a step back, but now that his eyes, which had been a little uncomfortable by the sun, suddenly became comfortable. It turned out that he had retreated into a shadow. Looking up, it was a tall lookout in the garden.
This is Wei Changhui in charge of the defense of the Tianjing City when the building was built, from this lookout can clearly see the signal on the city wall, once the enemy army attacked the city, Wei Changhui personally climbed the high-rise command, during the day to blow the horn and wave the flag as the signal, at night to hang the lamp as an order, the soldiers will attack with the order, the Qing army. At that time, Wei Changhui commanded tens of thousands of Taiping soldiers to work day and night to defend Tianjing City. But now in Wei Changhui's house, he is left alone in his garden.
Zhang Yingchen's troops did not wait, more than a dozen people pounced on Wei Changhui like wolves and pressed Wei Changhui to the ground, and the ropes tied up and blocked Wei Changhui's mouth at the same time.
"Close the door, I'll be here today." Zhang Yingchen ordered. When the gates were closed, Zhang Yingchen's troops also controlled Wei Changhui's subordinates. Zhang Yingchen ordered: "These people have killed too many Heavenly Brothers, kill them all!" ”
