"Of course, the Winged King can decide the affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom, but now it is even more necessary to rebuild the Six Divisions to manage the affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom. With so many soldiers and horses under your brothers, do you have to handle all your big and small things by one person? Don't you still let your brother in charge of affairs take care of it, you just make a decision. The same is true of the kingdom of heaven, let the Winged King ask about everything, let the Winged King decide, then I'm afraid that the Winged King will not have to eat and sleep! Although the content of what was said was extremely strict, Lin Fengxiang still tried to say it in a relaxed tone.

Shi Dakai was furious after hearing this, and what Lin Fengxiang said seemed to be very "concerned" about Shi Dakai's health problems. In fact, this is not the case, the "Winged King decides on the affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom" proposed by everyone refers to the fact that the Winged King Shi Dakai has the authority to manage all the affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom, including personnel rights and administrative powers, and Shi Dakai has the final say.

Lin Fengxiang's proposal to rebuild the six ministries first was to establish the six-department system first, and Shi Dakai was only the boss of the six ministries and was responsible for leading the work of the six ministries. Of course, Shi Dakai knew that he would definitely be able to be the supreme administrator of the kingdom of heaven, but the supreme administrator of the kingdom of heaven, who was responsible for the establishment of the six departments, and the supreme administrator of the kingdom of heaven, who led the work of the six ministries, were two completely different concepts. The former has the same power as Yang Xiuqing to open the government, and the Yiwang Mansion is the central government of the Heavenly Kingdom. The latter is the prime minister in the traditional Chinese system, although he is still above 10,000 people under one person, and he is a real powerful minister. But the sixth department is only Shi Dakai's subordinate, but not Shi Dakai's subordinate. The Heavenly Emperor Hong Xiuquan had huge personnel power in his hands, and he could influence the political and power balance in the court through personnel changes.

Shi Dakai looked at the old brothers of the Heavenly Kingdom who participated in the meeting together, Lin Fengxiang held such a meeting for the purpose of obtaining the support of the old brothers of the Heavenly Kingdom first. At the very least, the final result must be the one that the brothers of heaven agree with. The Heavenly Kingdom brothers were originally only aware of the military division system, and Lin Fengxiang's Jianyì undoubtedly pointed to a system of politics that had never been implemented in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. And this system is in a sense more beneficial to the old brothers.

Sure enough, Lin Fengxiang looked at a group of brothers who were frowning or thinking or at a loss, and then said: "Two days ago, the Heavenly King ordered to appoint Huang Yukun as the secretary of the Criminal Department. The brothers of the Heavenly Kingdom all understand the truth, where can anyone dare to kick over the table of the Shangshu of the Criminal Department because others do not salute their own family uncle! Is there any royal law left? ”

Lin Fengxiang used this incident as an example to explain to the representatives of the old brothers of the heavenly kingdom the reason why the military division system could no longer be implemented. It is nothing more than the concentration of power in the hands of one person, and the rights and interests of the brothers are not guaranteed.

After finishing his opinion, Lin Fengxiang continued: "Everyone believes in the Wing King, and I also think that the Wing King will not make the mistake of the East King again. Do you think so? ”

The generals were deeply impressed by Yang Xiuqing's domineering, and now although everyone is not angry that the king of heaven killed the king of the east and then killed the brothers of the heavenly kingdom indiscriminately, but the new system proposed by Lin Fengxiang can indeed protect the rights and interests of everyone. Many people couldn't help but nod their heads. If he only handed over the leadership of the six ministries to Shi Dakai, the king of wings, but limited Shi Dakai's personnel power, he could not arbitrarily appoint and dismiss officials because of his own preferences. This really protects the rights and interests of everyone.

Li Kaifang originally stood on the same front as Lin Fengxiang, and his confirmation was the same as this concept. Seeing that most of the brothers were moved by what Lin Fengxiang said, he immediately said: "I think what Brother Lin said is very right. Everyone knows that the Wing King is a person who understands and never makes his brothers feel uneasy because of himself. At this point, we have to settle the hearts of our brothers first. ”

As soon as these words came out, many old brothers nodded yes, and at the same time looked at Shi Dakai with expectant eyes. Shi Dakai had a smile on his face, and he wanted to strangle Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang to death in his heart. Shi Dakai really wants to "settle the hearts of the brothers", but that has to be "for the hearts of the brothers", so Shi Dakai must be allowed to take charge of the power of heaven alone. Now it has become the heart of the brothers An, Shi Dakai must give up the situation of establishing the Yiwang Mansion.

Originally, Hong Xiuquan lost the hearts of the people among the heavenly brothers because he killed the king of the east. If it were just Shi Dakai and Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly Brothers would undoubtedly choose to support Shi Dakai unconditionally. Now I didn't expect Lin Fengxiang to pop up to stir up the situation, of course Lin Fengxiang himself had no intention of becoming the supreme consul of the heavenly kingdom, and he even made it clear that he supported Shi Dakai as the supreme consul of the heavenly kingdom. However, this kind of support is not without a price, and the price is to overthrow the old system of opening the government by the regular army division, which should be a very traditional situation of the Chinese imperial court.

Shi Dakai knew that Lin Fengxiang had made a living by face-to-face before joining the Tianping Army, and it seemed that this face-to-face career had indeed given Lin Fengxiang a considerable political vision.

At this time, the eyes of all the brothers fell on Shi Dakai's face, and Shi Dakai could only reluctantly say: "This matter can be discussed again." ”

Li Kaifang is already in his fifties, he is old and has a high status, completely ignoring Shi Dakai's weak resistance, Li Kaifang said: "What is there to discuss again? Won't the Winged King lead his troops to fight in the future? If the Winged King leads the troops to fight, it is natural to need to have the secretary of the military department to be responsible for military affairs, and he can't run to the Winged King if the military department has something to do. And the military department must be a brother who can make the brothers feel credible. These six books really have to be recognized by the brothers! Jiujiang is the gateway to the upper reaches of our army, so we quickly determined these major events, and then discussed the matter of aiding Jiujiang. ”

As soon as he said this, the representative sent by Lin Qirong of Jiujiang immediately nodded like a chicken, "The Qing demon is powerful, please hurry up and save Jiujiang!" ”

Of course, Shi Dakai refused to give in lightly, and the brothers discussed fiercely, but seeing that the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan sat firmly in the seat with the unfathomable and profound expression of the divine stick, Shi Dakai suddenly felt a little puzzled, is he really not as good as a guy like Hong Xiuquan? Why did Lin Fengxiang still work hard to maintain Hong Xiuquan's leadership at this time?

As if hearing Shi Dakai's heart, Lin Fengxiang said to the brothers who participated in the meeting: "The affairs of the Kingdom of Heaven naturally have to be handled by the brothers of the Kingdom of Heaven. Each ministry is responsible for the affairs of each ministry, and if there is no document signed by the brothers of each ministry and the king of heaven, it cannot be counted. ”

Shi Dakai didn't know what to say after hearing this, he smiled bitterly in his heart, the basis of Lin Fengxiang's opinion is undoubtedly the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan's ability to make correct judgments. But Shi Dakai did not have a positive evaluation of the ability of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan at all. Of course, the major events of the Kingdom of Heaven do theoretically require the approval of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan before they can be implemented. But......

Thinking about his thoughts, Shi Dakai didn't hear a few words at all. Lin Fengxiang quickly raised his voice, and Shi Dakai was forced to interrupt his train of thought, forcing him to turn his attention back to the meeting. I heard Lin Fengxiang say: "At this time, we must unite sincerely and do great things together!" As long as the King of Heaven and the King of Wings are of one mind, with our old brothers, the Kingdom of Heaven will definitely be able to take over the world! ”

The old brothers also responded to the peace at this time. However, in their hearts, they didn't have any special thoughts about whether they could have the same heart with the Heavenly King and the Winged King. For example, Wei Jun, his elder brother Wei Changhui was killed by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Wing King Shi Dakai. As the defender of Wuchang, he also had to face great pressure from the Qing army. Internal and external pressures drove the young general insane. Wei Jun is extremely supportive of the new institutional structure proposed by Lin Fengxiang. Only the swift restoration of the central power can make the past pass. Otherwise, Wei Jun would not be able to feel at ease at all.

Most of the other brothers did not have Wei Jun's internal and external difficulties, but they also supported Lin Fengxiang's construction. Everyone basically supported the Wing King in the past, and most of the reason at that time was resentment of the Heavenly King's actions. Now that Lin Fengxiang has put forward the past, this is the end of it, and a large part of the old brothers in the appointment of officials in the future will also have the right to speak. After Yang Xiuqing obtained the power to open the government, he was arrogant and domineering, bullying his brothers. Lin Fengxiang's Jianyi no longer supports the power of the Wing King to open the palace, but still supports the Wing King to have the status of the highest administrator. This satisfies the interests of the brothers.

After Lin Fengxiang finished speaking, many old brothers immediately expressed their approval. And the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Wing King Shi Dakai were not very satisfied with this. The Wing King was a little younger, and his unhappy expression still showed a little. The Heavenly King still has that kind of divine expression, and everyone can't see any special feelings, but in the face of the expectant sight of the brothers, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan didn't say a word, and he couldn't see any signs of response.

The venue fell silent. The old brothers quickly saw the negative attitude of the Heavenly King and the Winged King, and if they supported it, it would have been long overdue to speak at this time. But Lin Fengxiang's construction is indeed very attractive, and the old brothers have no intention of objecting. Look at me, people, and I'll look at you. The Heavenly King and the Winged King didn't speak, and the old brothers were silent and talked to the two. The atmosphere inside the venue became more and more awkward, but there was no chance to break the embarrassment.

Yang Fuqing is Yang Xiuqing's eastern king "Guozong", he actually felt that Shi Dakai was afraid that it would be difficult to get rid of the matter of the king of heaven killing Yang Xiuqing. However, Yang Fuqing must face the reality, the East Wangfu was killed, where would Yang Fuqing, who was born in the "Eastern Kingdom Sect", not be afraid. Therefore, Shi Dakai extended an olive branch to Yang Fuqing, and Yang Fuqing immediately agreed.

Recently, the two discussed one thing, Wei Ze did not encounter any obstruction from the Qing army when he went south, and Shi Dakai thought that this might be a good time to march east to seize Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Yang Fuqing's troops are in Ningguofu, and if they go east, Yang Fuqing can take the lead.

Of course, Yang Fuqing hopes to be as far away from Tianjing City as possible, and he agrees with Shi Dakai's construction. If it weren't for Lin Fengxiang, the leader of the Jiangbei faction among the two powerful factions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who came out to speak at this time, he categorically refused to return to Tianjing City. And now, Yang Fuqing also thinks that maybe Lin Fengxiang's construction is much better than simply making Shi Dakai a regular army division. Yang Fuqing originally had no relationship with Yang Xiuqing, but the names of the two were very close, Yang Xiuqing proposed to let Yang Fuqing identify with the sect, at that time Yang Xiuqing was already the commander of the Tian** government, Yang Fuqing was naturally happy.

If the Zhengjun division system still exists, Yang Fuqing will always be someone else's subordinate. At most, the people above were changed from Yang Xiuqing to Shi Dakai or something else. If the old brothers can be allowed to participate in the election of the six Shangshu, Shi Dakai will be the consul of the kingdom, and Yang Fuqing's status will change from being subordinate to others to becoming an old brother with a certain amount of power. Choosing to support Lin Fengxiang is obviously more beneficial to Yang Fuqing. So no matter how many times Shi Dakai glanced at Yang Fuqing, Yang Fuqing didn't say a word.

As the silence lengthened, Shi Dakai felt more and more pressure. If Lin Fengxiang came to seize power this time, Shi Dakai would not be afraid. Among the two powerful factions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Lin Fengxiang, as the chief general of the three prime ministers of the Northern Expedition, has great influence on the Northern Expeditionary Army. Under Wei Ze's rule, Anhui implemented the payment of taxes on grain rations, which was far from the formal government system, but it was able to maintain the wartime system. There are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses under the command of the third prime minister, including nearly 10,000 old brothers in Guangxi, and 20,000 elites who have experienced the Northern Expedition. Compared with the Western Expeditionary Army, it is by no means inferior.

Even so, Lin Fengxiang had no way to compete with Shi Da for power, and the status and appeal of the two were too far apart. The old brothers won't really obey Lin Fengxiang.

But Lin Fengxiang insisted from the beginning that he supported Shi Dakai to lead the affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom, which made Shi Dakai powerless. Moreover, Lin Fengxiang let the king of heaven govern on the one hand, and on the other hand, let the old brothers greatly gain the right to speak. If Shi Dakai can open the Wing Palace, the six Shangshu can become Shi Dakai's bargaining chips to buy people's hearts. Through Lin Fengxiang's disturbance, the six Shangshu have now become a benefit that the old brothers think they should occupy. The chips in Shi Dakai's hand shrank greatly. At this point, his position as the chief of the affairs of the kingdom of heaven became immediately responsible.

There is the king Hong Xiuquan above, there are powerful factions like Lin Fengxiang below, and there are a group of old brothers with a certain right to speak. Shi Dakai felt that this position of the commander-in-chief of the affairs of the kingdom of heaven was more like a hot potato.

Shi Dakai hoped that this silence could continue, at least at this time, Tianwang Hong Xiuquan was more considered to be a person who did not support such an idea, once this meeting was over, Shi Dakai could put all the blame on Tianwang Hong Xiuquan in private communication.

"Brothers, I think what Brother Lin said is good, you can rectify the order of the heavenly kingdom like this! Change the Wing King to the Righteous King, and after the edict determines the candidates for the six Shangshu, the edict will be issued to the Kingdom of Heaven. King Yi began to take office. Hong Xiuquan said.

Shi Dakai was disgusted at this time, Hong Xiuquan's military and administrative abilities were very limited, and he was just a middle-of-the-ordinary person. can play political tricks, but Hong Xiuquan is very proficient. Looking at the promotion to the "righteous king" is a great step forward in status. But you must know that this "righteous king" has to be sealed by the king Hong Xiuquan himself, and there is also a set of complicated ceremonies for sealing the king. Under the observation of many old brothers, Shi Dakai knelt in front of Hong Xiuquan to accept the canonization. This is equivalent to Shi Dakai once again making it clear that he will give in to Hong Xiuquan and accept Hong Xiuquan's leadership. From the perspective of the current system of the Kingdom of Heaven, Hong Xiuquan is completely in line with the rules.

Accept it, Shi Dakai is not happy. Don't accept it, my brother looked at Shi Dakai with a blank eye! If he just flipped the table, the brothers wouldn't think Shi Da was right.

At this time, Shi Dakai fully understood that many of Yang Xiuqing's seemingly excessive practices at that time were actually forced out. It's just that Yang Xiuqing didn't underestimate Hong Xiuquan's ability, so he started first. adopted an almost solitary confinement method to cut off Hong Xiuquan's contact with the outside world. Shi Dakai only saw the imprisoned Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, so he really underestimated Hong Xiuquan. Looking at it now, even if he was imprisoned by Yang Xiuqing, Hong Xiuquan still had the ability to seize the opportunity to kill Yang Xiuqing. A person like Hong Xiuquan must be described as terrifying.

But at this time, Shi Dakai turned his heart sideways. If he continues to drag on like this, the situation will only become more and more passive. Instead of being forced by Hong Xiuquan step by step, it is better for Shi Dakai to take the initiative to participate. Thinking of this, Shi Dakai got up and said, "Heavenly King, the younger brother doesn't dare to take the name of the righteous king, it's good to use the name of Yong'an." But since the brothers love me, I will take on the errand of the Prime Minister's affairs of the Kingdom of Heaven......"

Before Shi Dakai finished speaking, all the brothers cheered in unison. Hearing the cheers of the brothers, Shi Dakai's heart barely became a little better.

It takes a lot of time to adjust to the new structure at the beginning, and it is not easy to agree on any one issue with many people with different interests. However, the Yellow River broke and was diverted, which bought precious time for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Zuo Zongtang had just arrived in Zhejiang, and for a while he was unable to form an army to attack. Zhang Guoliang of the Jiangnan battalion suffered a defeat at the hands of Zhang Yingchen, and it also took time to rebuild the elite troops. As for Jiang Zhongyuan and Li Hongzhang in northern Anhui, they were also affected by the diversion of the Yellow River.

Historically, the diversion of the Yellow River to the south has always been a terrible disaster, and the northward diversion has had a relatively small impact. However, after the diversion of the Yellow River, the runoff of the Yellow River, which once flowed through Xuzhou, shrank greatly, which allowed the Twist Army, which was also in northern Anhui, to gain a lot of freedom of movement. The Yellow River, which had to be crossed by a large number of boats, was even able to wade through the water in some places, and Jiang Zhongyuan and Li Hongzhang had to exert greater strength to deal with the active Twist Army.

As for Xuzhou, Shandong was always a place of turmoil in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and a small number of bandits from Shandong began to operate on the border between northern Jiangsu and Shandong. Although the number of these people is not enough to affect the situation, no one dares to ignore it. Most Xuzhou officials believe that there will be more bandits from Shandong in the future. Their attention is more on the north than on the south.

This gave the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom an extremely rare opportunity, and the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan finally had a chance to wash his blood-stained hands in the Tianjing Change. Yiwang Shi Dakai is also able to further package himself. At least at this time, the central government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to rebuild slowly but without pause.
