His fingers crossed the road passing through Jiangxi, and Lin Fengxiang was silent. The other generals and lieutenants of the Fifth Army were also silent. If you want to get Wei Ze's support, you must open up the passage of Jiangxi. This corridor will connect Tianjing and Guangzhou. This idea is very good, but if the Taiping Army really has this strength, why would Lin Fengxiang ask the Guangfu Army to transport weapons to Jingdezhen.

"For the transportation of weapons and artillery, I can only ask King Qi for help." Lin Fengxiang finally made a judgment. After saying this, the eyes of the others with a little ill will or ridicule fell on Lin Fengxiang's face. Now everyone already knows that Wei Ze doesn't care about the tens of thousands of taels of silver at all. And Lin Fengxiang's subordinates actually dared to take money to blackmail Wei Ze's troops who came to deliver artillery, not to mention whether Wei Ze would deliberately make things difficult for Lin Fengxiang, Lin Fengxiang's subordinates did not do it properly.

"Is King Qi still willing to help?" Li Xiucheng asked eagerly.

Noticing those slightly sarcastic glances, Lin Fengxiang said calmly: "King Qi is not a small-bellied person, I don't have to worry about King Qi turning his face." But there is one thing I have to say first, everyone must not have the slightest disrespect for the king of Qi. If King Qi hadn't left, he would have been above us! ”

These words made everyone stunned a little. But in the blink of an eye, everyone also understood. The feudal kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were divided into the first wave of direction kings, that is, the four kings of the east, west, north and south. The title of Winged King itself is relatively unusual, and the Winged King Shi Dakai was able to be crowned king, not by the influence and contribution he had established in the worship of God mission, but by the four or five thousand relatives under him. Therefore, the title of this Wing King is inherently nondescript among the Direction Kings. The second wave is the King of Qi, the King of Yan, and the King of Yu, and theoretically Shandong, Hebei, and Henan are the fiefs of these three people. Coupled with the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, these nine princes are big names who are truly recognized for their status in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Wei Ze was the king of Qi who was crowned before the Tianjing Change, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has not dared to announce that Wei Ze, the king of Qi, is no longer a member of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. According to the system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, except for the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Wing King Shi Dakai, everyone else had to kneel when they saw Wei Ze.

However, when Lin Fengxiang said this, everyone was a little surprised. Everyone didn't deal with King Qi, wasn't it Lin Fengxiang's subordinates who really offended King Qi? Without waiting for everyone to say anything, Lin Fengxiang continued: "My subordinates just didn't respect King Qi this time, so they did something wrong. As long as we have respect, King Qi will not ignore us. ”

Hearing these words, some people nodded slightly, while others frowned. For example, Li Kaifang frowned, while Li Xiucheng thought so. At this time, no one dared to say irresponsible things to Lin Fengxiang, no matter what Lin Fengxiang had done, after the Wing King left, in terms of qualifications and military merits, Lin Fengxiang was undoubtedly the first person in the Taiping Army. Listen to Lin Fengxiang's dispatch or not, that is the matter of the commanders of the various armies. But at this time, no one dared to come out to refute Lin Fengxiang. And everyone knows that Lin Fengxiang can still let Wei Ze send 15o guns to Jingdezhen. The other generals and deputy generals of the armies were not even qualified to ask Wei Ze for help. If you want to get help from Wei Ze in the future, you have to rely on Lin Fengxiang.

After talking about Wei Ze's matter, the five army lords will continue to hold a meeting. Li Xiucheng put forward a plan to take advantage of Shi Dakai to attack western Zhejiang, and the Taiping army took advantage of the situation to advance eastward. And Lin Fengxiang immediately vetoed it, "At this time, the Hunan army may advance eastward at any time, and we may not be able to win immediately if we attack Zhejiang at this time." If the soldiers are entangled in Zhejiang, and the Hunan army comes to attack with all its might, we will fight on two fronts, and we really can't take care of the left and right. ”

Li Kaifang immediately agreed with Lin Fengxiang's opinion. He was under the pressure of the northern front of the Taiping Army, and if the Qing army attacked on a large scale, Li Kaifang would naturally have to fight to the death with the Qing army. If other allies come to reinforce them, the odds of victory will be greatly increased. Therefore, opening up the Zhejiang battlefield will only disperse the forces of the Taiping army. Maybe they will also mobilize generals from other directions to lead troops to fight together. This is not good for the increasingly tense northern front.

The Taiping army in southern Anhui was also under pressure from Jiangxi by the Qing army, and they also did not approve of opening the Zhejiang front at this time. As for the Taiping army in the direction of Yangzhou, they may be interested in attacking Jiangsu and fighting all the way to the sea. If they crossed the river to join the Zhejiang campaign, the Taiping army in the direction of Yangzhou was also unprepared.

After discussion, the final strategic direction was to attack in the direction of Jiangxi, and in the Huainan area, it was to contact the Huaibei Twist Army to jointly flank the Huai Army. At this time, the most important task was to hold the Huai River defense line no matter what, and not let the northern front of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have problems.

Looking at Li Xiucheng's disappointed expression, Lin Fengxiang said: "The matter of the Wing King, we put it first. rashly marched into Zhejiang, Yiwang was afraid that he would be unhappy. Although he has broken off his kindness to our Taiping army, there is no need for us to fight with the Wing King. ”

Li Xiucheng was stunned for a moment, and then understood what Lin Fengxiang meant. The Heavenly Brothers all chose to wait for Shi Dakai to fail. After all, the Wing King Shi Dakai is the number one general in the Heavenly Kingdom, and he also has the best watch for the Battle of Hukou in the battle against the Hunan army, and he naturally feels that he is the right person with his Heavenly Brother. If it was empty words, the Heavenly Brothers would not really think that Shi Dakai would be defeated. All the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could do was wait and see how the situation would go.

At the end of these meetings, the commanders of the corps returned to command their troops. Lin Fengxiang went to Beijing to attend Hong Xiuquan and reported the contents of the military meeting to Hong Xiuquan.

After a few days of tossing, Lin Fengxiang first leveled the king Hong Xiuquan and made him agree to the future strategy, and then sent someone to Guangdong to see Wei Ze and apologize solemnly to Wei Ze. But after a few days of leaving, he came back. What they brought back was not good news that they had been connected with Wei Ze, but it was not bad news, "Prime Minister, the epidemic in Jiangxi!" ”

Lin Fengxiang stood up, Jiangxi was the focus of the battle between the two sides at this time, and the outbreak of the epidemic at this time meant that both sides could not fight in Jiangxi. The most difficult thing for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to deal with at the moment is precisely the Qing army in Jiangxi, and the Jiangxi epidemic can make Lin Fengxiang not worry about the threat of the Jiangxi Qing army to the Taiping army for several months.

"Prime Minister, I'm afraid I won't be able to see King Qi this time." Lin Fengxiang's subordinates said a little nervously. Because of the epidemic, no one dares to go to the north of Jiangxi at all, and the road to Guangdong has been blocked. If you want to apologize to Wei Ze, you can only wait like this.

"It's okay!" Lin Fengxiang replied. At this time, the most important thing is that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom solves its own problems first. He got up and went to find Zhang Yingchen. Seeing Zhang Yingchen, the current "garrison commander" of Tianjing City, Lin Fengxiang told Zhang Yingchen about the situation of the epidemic in Jiangxi, and then asked: "Brother Zhang, you said a few days ago that you should conduct strict training for the troops, so that you can have a good example on the battlefield." But I don't know how long the training you said will take? I thought about taking advantage of the temporary stability in Jiangxi to quickly train my brothers. ”

Seeing Lin Fengxiang's somewhat anxious appearance, Zhang Yingchen smiled and said, "Brother Lin, I did say that you should train hard. But I also said that training is not only martial arts, but also cultural learning. There's a lot to learn. ”

"Is it difficult to teach the method of military training that I learned from King Qi to the brothers of Zhujun?" Lin Fengxiang asked straight to the point.

Zhang Yingchen heard these almost reproachful words, but he was not angry. He smiled before he said, "Brother Lin, the matter of military training is not an overnight thing. When King Qi did not leave Yong'an, he practiced strictly, and it was not until a year later that it was considered to have achieved results. I haven't been able to learn King Qi's ability, and I can't compare to King Qi at all. Even if Brother Lin is brave and good at fighting, if he wants to train his soldiers and horses to the point of King Qi, it will take a year anyway. What's the use of being in a hurry? ”

Lin Fengxiang shook his head, "If Brother Zhang thinks that I am accusing Brother Zhang, it is a mistake to see me." At this time, Jiangxi Qing Demon was unable to go north, and our army had a little time to train. This time will not be a year, and it would be good to have three months of free time to concentrate on military training. ”

"After three months of training, I'm afraid I won't even be able to finish the training of the main step and the queue." Zhang Yingchen still didn't have the slightest attitude of rejoicing.

"If you hurry up in those three months, you can practice only one item." Lin Fengxiang continued to ask.

Zhang Yingchen pondered for a while before replying: "If you want to be really effective, then it is better to build the staff system first." King Qi has been working hard to run the General Staff, and the brothers below are not easy to say, so they have to train the officers and old brothers strictly. ”

"Good! That's it. Lin Fengxiang immediately replied, "We will train in Wuhu." I will tell the Heavenly King to let Brother Zhang help in our army. ”

As long as Zhang Yingchen's troops were not mobilized, Hong Xiuquan happily agreed to Lin Fengxiang's request. However, after the conversation, Hong Xiuquan asked: "Brother Lin, can't the Yiwang defeat Zhejiang?" ”

Lin Fengxiang simply replied: "With the current situation, I think that the Wing King may not be able to defeat the Qing Demon of Zhejiang." ”

Hong Xiuquan couldn't help but smile with joy, "Will the Wing King return to Heaven?" ”

Lin Fengxiang was quite surprised, he didn't expect Hong Xiuquan to really want Shi Dakai to return to heaven. After thinking about it, Lin Fengxiang was also relieved. If Shi Dakai suffers a crushing defeat, he may return to heaven in desperation. At that time, a winged king who did not have the appeal of every call could only honestly listen to orders under Hong Xiuquan. This is a great thing for Hong Xiuquan.

However, Shi Dakai's personality is not a person who is willing to eat back grass, when Yang Xiuqing was doing things, Shi Dakai was most afraid of Yang Xiuqing's sudden "Heavenly Father Descending", and then cut off Shi Dakai's head. Even so, Shi Dakai still honestly worked under Yang Xiuqing. This shows that Shi Dakai is a very tolerant person.

Now that Shi Dakai has finally chosen to leave, then no matter what, it is impossible for Shi Dakai to return to heaven. Hong Xiuquan's idea is too idealistic.

It's just that this is not the time to refute Hong Xiuquan, Lin Fengxiang can only vaguely say that there is a possibility that this will happen.

After leaving Hong Xiuquan's Heavenly King's Mansion, Lin Fengxiang had already made up his mind that he would not accept Shi Dakai to return to Heaven no matter what. There is no feast in the world that will not be separated, and it must be broken up when it is time to break up. In Lin Fengxiang's heart, Shi Dakai is no longer a person who has passed by.
