Shi Dakai is a meticulous and meticulous person, he believes that Lin Fengxiang is telling the truth, and he still asks those who are traveling with Lin Fengxiang. After the investigation, Shi Dakai determined that what Lin Fengxiang said was completely true. After sending the last person to be questioned out, Shi Dakai sat down in his chair dejectedly, as if all his strength had been drained.

The treatment that Lin Fengxiang enjoyed in Nanjing and the life of the people of Nanjing are the same as the descriptions of different people, and the focus of attention is different. Shi Dakai doesn't care about this, Nanjing has always been a prosperous place, and it is also a proper meaning to live far beyond other places. What really frightened Shi Dakai was the change in Wuyuan's poor place.

In recent years, the changes in Henan and Sichuan, which are close to the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom, have been quite amazing, Shi Dakai just feels that Henan and Sichuan are originally richer than Shaanxi, and Wei Ze is strong, and there is nothing special about these places becoming better than Ganshan. After listening to the changes in Wu Yuan, Shi Dakai discovered one thing, whether the place occupied by Wei Ze was originally rich or not actually had a limited impact. The greatest influence on those regions was the time of Weese's rule there. The longer it was ruled by Weez, the greater the local changes.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom left Nanjing, the old brothers in Guangxi certainly felt unhappy. However, Shaanxi is still much better than Guangxi, and everyone can accept it. But the people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who were originally from Jiangnan were not so optimistic. Climate change and backward economic conditions have made everyone very dissatisfied.

If the true situation in Guangxi, Jiangnan and other places spread all over the Taiping Army. I'm afraid that the cohesion that has begun to loosen will only be worse. If Wei Ze took advantage of this time to enter Shaanxi, the Taiping army would have no chance of winning, and now there would be no possibility of victory. How can the Taiping Army be more forcefully condensed? Shi Dakai was worried about this.

In June 1871, the Guangfu Army received news that a group of high-ranking officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, led by Shi Dakai, began to spread some content that defiled Wei Ze. The intelligence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was basically unilateral and transparent to the Liberation Army, and there were already too many people in the Taiping Army who were inclined to collude with the Liberation Army. Even if they did not openly betray the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they thought they could do something to provide some information in exchange for the favor of the Liberation Army.

Wei Ze did not think about solving the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom militarily, but it cost a lot to march into the northwest, and with the current financial situation, after recovering the northwest, he would have to invest in the northwest, and if he had this money, it would be better to build more tractors. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the kind of person who does not live and does not live in the northwest, Wei Ze does not care about letting the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom live until the government's finances improve.

Now that Shi Dakai has acted purposefully, the intelligence analysis department of the Liberation Army feels that it cannot sit idly by like this. After analyzing and processing the intelligence, the intelligence department of the Guangfu Army discovered that Shi Dakai's purpose was to demonize Wei Ze through guò to increase the hostility of the Taiping Army towards the Guangfu Army.

Wei Ze frowned after reading the report, Shi Dakai deliberately provoked hostilities in order to prepare for war now? Or do you want to fight against the pro-Guang restoration forces in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? At the time of the Tianjing Change, Shi Dakai had a bad record of engaging in infighting. And in the days that followed, Shi Dakai himself also split the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Wei Ze's departure did not change the strategic advantage of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, at that time there was a Huai River defense line in the north, and the enemies in the east and west were heavily damaged, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still had a certain strategic offensive advantage. What completely shattered this advantage was that Shi Dakai took the initiative to break away from the Jiangxi battlefield with 200,000 elites and began to attack Zhejiang.

In history, as soon as Shi Dakai left like this, there was nothing left of the field army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng and other generals who originally had no special names came out to support the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Northern Expeditionary Army, which was rescued because of Wei Ze's appearance, guarded the Huai River defense line, which made the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at this time more able to hold out than in history. Even so, the offensive and defensive momentum changed, and the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not be reversed.

Perhaps it was Wei Ze's prejudice against Shi Dakai, who suspected that Shi Dakai's old illness had relapsed and was ready to have another internal struggle.

The Guangfu Army has long not regarded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as a real opponent, and now it is only using the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to suppress the northwest. Therefore, the main generals of the Guangfu Army also know what Shi Dakai really wants to do. It's just that Shi Dakai polluted Wei Ze's reputation and claimed that Wei Ze was the culprit of the Tianjing Revolution that year. This made the generals of the Liberation Army who had experienced that period feel that they could not ignore it.

The Tianjing Revolution was a great counterattack by the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom against the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing trying to gain the highest power, and the leader was of course the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, and the other kings were all under the banner of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. In that situation, Wei Ze's departure certainly damaged the strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time. But if Wei Ze didn't leave at that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would immediately fall into a fire.

Weezer's troops were brave and good at fighting, and the other kings combined had an army of 200,000 troops. Even if Wei Ze could win more with less and annihilate the main forces of the kings in large numbers at a very small cost, it would only make Lin Fengxiang's local army leaders have to come forward to stop it. It was difficult for Wei Ze, who was an enemy of the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, to ride a tiger, so he could only work hard to the end. Then both sides died together, allowing the Manchus to pick up the benefits for nothing.

If Wei Ze was really a careerist blinded by power, as Shi Dakai advertised, his choice at that time must have been to fight to the death with the kings. At that time, the generals of the Guangfu Army were also young and vigorous, and everyone would never think about it so much, and would only follow Wei Ze all the way to the black.

Fortunately, Wei Ze was a strategist with a long-term vision and a politician with a broad mind, so he decisively chose to break away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and lead his troops directly south. Such a choice not only saved the Liberation Army, but also saved the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. His family knows his own family affairs, especially the vision of the Guangfu Army, to the point where he is now, and he has seen the past things more thoroughly. Everyone felt that it was tolerable and unbearable, and they all took some measures to beat the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Looking at the indignation of the old guys, Wei Ze proposed a suggestion, "Knock it, knock it." We might as well publicize the situation in the Jiangnan and Liangguang regions to the Taiping Army, and tell the Taiping brothers from these areas that if they are willing to return to their hometowns to live a good life, we will welcome them back without any blame. ”

Hu Chenghe was a little surprised, "Dudu, they have been mixed up in the Taiping Army until now, and they are also a leader." Let them come back as ordinary people, will they agree? ”

"What does it have to do with us if they are mixed up or not? Could it be that if they are the leaders of the Taiping Army, they can be officials of the same level with us? Does that make sense? Weser asked rhetorically.

Hu Chenghe hurriedly explained: "That's not what I meant. I mean, they're just afraid that they won't abandon their glory and wealth, and come back honestly to live. ”

Wei Ze sneered, "Hmph! Now there are quite a few people in the Taiping Army who hook up with us, but they refuse to take a stand immediately. What do you think they're trying to do? They can't let go of their current status, and they know they can't beat us. That's why I thought that there were some benefits on both sides, so that when it came time for both sides to tear their faces, there was hope. Of course, we don't want to kill each other with our old brothers, but now is also a good time to make them understand what we can offer, and cut off their unrealistic delusions. When that day really comes, it will also make everyone less saliva. ”

As soon as Wei Ze said this, the members of the Military Commission did not say anything more. Don't look at them, worry that because Wei Zekai's conditions are not enough, he can't buy the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If Wei Ze really agreed to treat the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with the same level of treatment, these committee members were afraid that they would immediately jump out and oppose it.

"Then we'll send someone to ask about those who have contact with us." Hu Cheng and Jian yì Dao.

"Don't come this kind of thing in secret, let's come in the open." Wei Ze categorically denied Hu Chenghe's Jianyi.

On May 4, 1871, the political commissar of the Luoyang Military Subdivision of the Guangfu Army personally went to Chang'an to ask for a meeting with the current Heavenly King Hong Tianfugui. The current Heavenly King has no ill will towards the emissaries of the Liberation Army. When he met with the envoy of the Guangfu Army, he sat on the dragon chair of the Golden Palace, and looked condescendingly at the soldiers of the Guangfu Army wearing grass-green military uniforms with curious eyes.

"I am ordered by His Majesty Wei Ze, the Emperor of the People's Dynasty, to convey our greetings." The political commissar said calmly.

For Wei Ze, Hong Tianfu has heard it too many times. According to the news from his late father, Weser was a big badass. But other ministers have different assessments of Weese. Therefore, Hong Tianfugui had a strong curiosity about Wei Ze, and when he heard that Wei Ze's envoy brought Wei Ze's greeting, Hong Tianfugui looked at the political commissar excitedly, nodded and said, "Ask Wei Ze too." ”

This kind of answer is quite normal, and the ministers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Golden Palace are slightly relieved. Shi Dakai felt that something was wrong with Wei Ze sending someone to see the Heavenly King Hong Tian Fuguipo at this time. But the envoy never wanted to reveal his tone, although Shi Dakai didn't want the envoy to see Hong Tianfu, the other kings thought that Wei Ze should not be offended so much, and finally Shi Dakai had to agree to tell the news to Hong Tianfugui. Seeing such an answer, Shi Dakai knew that it was time to say something important, he looked at the envoy, waiting for the envoy to explain his purpose clearly.

"Heavenly King, the old brothers of the Taiping Army are basically southerners. Liangguang, Lianghu, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, each province has the family of the old brother. Their families also miss their loved ones a lot and hope that their relatives can come home to see them. We also don't want to see our relatives separated, so we promise never to force our Taiping brothers to visit home. I also hope that the King of Heaven can promise to let those Taiping brothers who want to go home go home to have a look. The commissar said the purpose of the trip in a calm tone.

Hong Tianfu had a good impression of the envoy with the Guangfu Army, he thought about it, smiled and said, "It's also a good thing to go home and see......"

As soon as these words began, Shi Dakai immediately interrupted Hong Tianfugui's words loudly, "Heavenly King, no! ”
