"Brother Wei, I didn't expect to be able to walk hundreds of miles in a row to be the territory of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." Lin Fengxiang praised. At this time, everyone took a large canopy boat in a large fleet, and the task of this fleet was to transport grain from Luzhou to Tianjing City, and the guards were relatively tight. Yang Xiuqing ordered Wei Ze, Lin Fengxiang and others to go to Tianjing to restore their lives, and Wei Ze chose to take such a fleet.

Obviously, being able to not encounter the Qing army within hundreds of miles, and always being in the control area of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this feeling made Lin Fengxiang couldn't help but admire. The Northern Expeditionary Army was always in the encirclement of the enemy, and the feeling of embarrassment of being surrounded by enemies everywhere really caused too much pressure on everyone.

Wei Ze smiled at Lin Fengxiang's admiration, this large area of land was developed by Wei Ze, and if he said anything, he would be suspected of boasting. So after a moment's pause, Wei Ze replied: "If it weren't for the fact that the Eastern King of Tianjing City commanded the brothers of Yangzhou and Zhenjiang to hold the downstream, Brother Lin's Northern Expeditionary Army attracted the attention of the Qing Demon in the north, and the Wing King of the Western Expedition fought for the upstream. Where is this situation in Anhui. ”

Lin Fengxiang was originally a fortune teller, and after listening to Wei Ze's words, he smiled and said: "Hehe, Brother Wei will always find something nice to tell others." If Brother Wei led the Northern Expedition, I am afraid that this Beijing city will be defeated. ”

"I'm not good at sports warfare, and I'm not as good as Brother Lin in this regard." Weeser replied bluntly. In fact, Wei Ze thought to himself, even if he could take Beijing City, he would not be able to fight. Do you want to get a Weize version of the burning of the Old Summer Palace? Although the garden was a royal garden, this did not mean that anyone had the right to destroy it. And even from a personal point of view, after the Manchu Qing is finished, Wei Ze will have the opportunity to go there to play.

Of course, Lin Fengxiang didn't know that Wei Ze already had so many thoughts in his heart for a moment, he listened to Wei Ze's sincere words, so he sighed: "Brother Wei, if you can fight with the Qing Demon head-on every time like you, you can win the battle after the war." The casualties of my own soldiers are small, and I don't want to run around at all. It's just that I can't do it with my brother, and in order to be able to hit Beijing, my brother can only walk around like this. ”

Since Lin Fengxiang expressed his support for Wei Ze's attitude, Wei Ze said a little tentatively: "Brother Lin, we have now returned to the south of the Huai River to rest, I think so, first level the Qing demons around Tianjing, and then try to expand the territory to other places." It's like cleaning the yard, running out of the yard before the things in front of the door are cleaned, and always feeling that you are running too far. What do you think? ”

Although these words seemed to be chatting, Wei Ze was actually communicating with Lin Fengxiang about whether to continue the Northern Expedition. If Yang Xiuqing still adhered to the original plan, took advantage of the fact that the Qing army's combat effectiveness was not strong now, and quickly established the national power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, then Wei Ze was afraid that he would become the main force of the Northern Expedition.

This is not just Wei Ze's personal imagination, after receiving Yang Xiuqing's will, Wei Ze immediately took action. It is impossible for Lin Fengxiang and the others' troops to gather directly in Luzhou, which is really an inefficient way to deal with it. Wei Ze arranged these three prime ministers to the three regions of Chuzhou, Dingyuan, and Wuhe. Originally, because of the lack of troops, Wei Ze's control over these three regions was not very effective. At this time, since they want to replenish the men and horses in Anhui, they will naturally let them be stationed in these three places separately, which can also help Wei Ze deter the place.

However, on April 18, Yang Xiuqing came to another will. Originally, the order of Feng Xiang and others to expand the army to 30,000 in central Anhui was slightly modified and changed to 45,000 people. Under Yang Xiuqing's planning, the three prime ministers of the Northern Expeditionary Army originally brought out nine armies, and each of these nine armies was expanded to 5,000 people. Lin Fengxiang ordered the four armies, Li Kaifang led the three armies, and Ji Wenyuan led the two armies.

In addition to this will, Yang Xiuqing also gave Wei Ze a new will, in which he told Wei Ze that Yang Xiuqing was ready to wait for the three prime ministers' troops to be reorganized and trained, and then send them to break the siege of Yangzhou by the Qing army. It seems that Yang Xiuqing seems to be very confident in breaking the siege of Yangzhou, and he does not talk about how to fight, but tells Sù Wei Ze that after the siege of Yangzhou is lifted, the troops of Zeng Lichang, the Xia official and deputy prime minister who are guarding Yangzhou, will be taken to Anhui for recuperation and reorganization. Zeng Lichang and the others' troops had a total of 22 corps, and Wei Ze couldn't help but smile bitterly after reading the number mentioned by Yang Xiuqing in the order.

Naturally, Yang Xiuqing could not compare Zeng Lichang with Wei Ze, Lin Fengxiang and others, and it was impossible for Zeng Lichang's 22 armies to be handled according to the establishment of an army of 5,000 people like Wei Ze and Lin Fengxiang. Each army has 5,000 men, and 22 corps is a force of 110,000 men. The total number of male and female troops in the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom is now only more than 2o thousand, and the 110,000 troops are immediately the largest army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

If it weren't for the establishment of a large army of 110,000 people, Wei Ze would have to consider what Yang Xiuqing had in mind, especially mentioning the number of these 22 armies in the official document. Writing official documents is not about talking, but when you speak, you just think about something, or you have something in your heart, and you casually say a limited number of things that have a limited relationship with the things at hand, which is a common thing. So what does Yang Xiuqing mean by specifically proposing the numbers of these 22 armies?

All the wills of the East King, Wei Ze will discuss them in the General Staff. If Wei Ze could still treat it calmly, the other generals were a little confused. In the near future, Lin Fengxiang will be replenished with more than 30,000 troops, which has already made Wei Ze's General Staff have the meaning of a ghost crying and howling. Wei Ze's total strength is only 60,000, and this guy has to divide half of it, and no one can stand it. The order of 110,000 troops has been completely out of the strength of the central Anhui region.

Wei Ze didn't think that Yang Xiuqing could be confused to the point of giving orders indiscriminately. Wei Ze controls Wanzhong, and he does have the ability to levy food and soldiers, but everything has its limits, if Yang Xiuqing clearly orders Wei Ze to complete this task, it can only mean that Yang Xiuqing is going to attack Wei Ze personally. In fact, Yang Xiuqing only mentioned such a sentence slightly, and there was no follow-up. Therefore, Wei Ze guessed that Yang Xiuqing's desire to win a national victory was more likely to be Yang Xiuqing's hope that Wei Ze would lead the Northern Expedition after completing the siege of Yangzhou.

This strategy is quite unreliable, Wei Ze chatted with Lin Fengxiang, the purpose is to figure out Guò to get Lin Fengxiang's support, and try to dispel any military plans related to the Northern Expedition in the near future.

Lin Fengxiang seemed to support Wei Ze's point of view, and he replied: "I also feel that the Northern Expedition is too anxious. I waited all the way from Guangxi to here, and I thought that the Qing demon was vulnerable. only knows how to defend the city, so it is a gamble to march quickly and go straight to Beijing. Look at it now, the Qing demon can still fight. Katsuho and I fought several battles, and we won all of them. However, Katsuho can continue to fight again after being defeated every time. Our army's logistics and troops could not afford to expend, and in the end they did not dare to fight again. It only takes one defeat to doom. ”

Wei Ze can fully understand Lin Fengxiang's feelings, the party was able to rapidly expand its base area in the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, firstly, because it occupied the righteous name of the national war, and after this squadron arrived in the Japanese occupation zone, it was the squadron that was recognized. Moreover, this army is fully integrated with the masses of the people and has a relatively deep social foundation. Therefore, the troops can be scattered like dandelions on the vast territory of China, and then take root with great difficulty and flourish.

But now, the Taiping army is considered a traitor, and after choosing the tactics of rapid advance, it is even more impossible to rise up and move the masses. If it weren't for the fact that the Manchus had rotted to the roots, Lin Fengxiang's sense of despair in the north would only have intensified.

Thinking of this, Wei Ze couldn't help but ask Lin Fengxiang, "Brother Lin, why did you join the Taiping Army back then?" ”

"Hehe, I'm not the Taiping Army who joined first, I'm participating in the God Worship Sect." Lin Fengxiang replied with some feelings. He told Weser about his past. Lin Fengxiang was born in Wuyuan, Guangxi (now Wuming) in the fifth year of Daoguang (1825), because he lost his mother at a young age, his father's love was not checked, so that he was uninhibited. When he was a teenager, but when he encountered injustice, he stepped forward to help. In the twenty-eighth year of Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty (1848), because he killed the inferior gentry in the county seat, the county ordered him to be arrested, and his seventh uncle Lin Xiuzhong sold 4 pigs to him as travel expenses and went to other places. Lin Fengxiang then wandered the rivers and lakes, set up a fortune show, and was able to get acquainted with Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing. In the first year of Xianfeng (1851), he participated in the Hong Xiuquan Jintian Uprising and was one of the 4o brothers of the alliance.

"Oh!" After listening to this, Wei Ze knew that Lin Fengxiang was a veteran of the Taiping Army, "Then Brother Lin, if we establish the Little Heavenly Kingdom, what do you think the Little Heavenly Kingdom should look like?" ”

"What does Little Heaven look like? Didn't the King of Heaven and the King of the East already say it? Lin Fengxiang replied.

Wei Ze was speechless at this time, Wei Ze suddenly appeared, in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze is an extremely rare person who really reassures the system of the Little Heavenly Kingdom and the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System". As for what the Little Heavenly Kingdom looks like, and what the newly established country will look like in the future, Wei Ze has asked many people. Everyone's answer is similar to Lin Fengxiang's, and they all think that the new world that Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, told everyone is the world of the future. No one really thought about it further.

In this regard, Weese once felt that this might be the ignorance of the peasants. However, as time passed, Weeser felt that it was his own ignorance. Great people can see the future from the past of their lives, and ordinary people can basically make themselves do things that can basically maintain the better situation they have lived. Weeser is a time-traveler, and he has really seen the future. It is still a future that is fundamentally different from the current China.

So Wei Ze thinks that everyone should be able to see the future...... is it someone else's fault, or is it Wei Ze's fault? The answer seems to be obvious.

Thinking of this, Wei Ze didn't guide Lin Fengxiang anymore, he smiled and said, "Then after the establishment of the Little Heavenly Kingdom, Brother Lin should be able to be crowned king." ”
