Wei Ze did not think that the construction proposed by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and others could not be taken seriously.

After Wei Ze left the Dongwang Mansion, Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan, and Shi Dakai continued to discuss the future strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The capture of Wei Ze was a good thing for the Taiping army, which was short of ammunition and salt, but it was not a win. More than 1,000 catties of materials simply cannot reverse the current predicament of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Even if Wei Ze successfully attacked the Qing army's grain convoy again, the looted materials would not be able to solve the dilemma faced by the Taiping army. Yang Xiuqing didn't care what kind of results Wei Ze could achieve.

As for Wei Ze's strategy of highlighting Yong'an City and solving the Qing army in the field, Yang Xiuqing did not feel that there was any need to discuss. The encirclement of the Qing army is tightening day by day, and the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have gradually agreed on the future strategy, and it is absolutely impossible to defend Yong'an City. In last year's battles, the Taiping army repeatedly attacked the Qing army in field battles, and the commander of these battles was basically Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east. Since the upper echelons of the Taiping Army have basically determined this tactic, it is very meaningless whether Wei Ze agrees with it or not.

The question at hand is where to go after highlighting Yong'an? The Qing army mobilized nearly 50,000 troops to besiege the Taiping army, and the real core combat strength of the Taiping army was only 10,000 troops, and there were more than 10,000 family members. Once it broke away from the state city of Yong'an, 10,000 Taiping soldiers fought a decisive field battle with tens of thousands of Qing troops, and there was no possibility of victory. In this case, the Taiping army had no choice but to adopt the previous tactics and deal a decisive blow in the field against the Qing army, which was marching separately. Where to go and what route to take are the focus of high-level discussions in the Taiping Army in recent days.

Discussions have come and gone, but there is still no more detailed and specific implementation strategy. The more likely direction of the breakout now is to the east. It's just that even if the Qing army is annihilated after breaking through, how to fight next, the upper echelons of the Taiping army still have no unanimous idea.

At the end of the meeting, Feng Yunshan said to Yang Xiuqing: "King Dong, I want to ask you for someone." ”

"Who do you want?" Yang Xiuqing had already roughly guessed who Feng Yunshan wanted. Let Wei Ze, a small Sima, express his views on strategy in front of the kings, and Feng Yunshan has made a lot of foreshadowing.

"I want Brother Wezewe." Feng Yunshan said calmly, "Brother Wei is brave and good at fighting, the last time he and seven other brothers captured eight forts in a row, this time with more than 20 people defeated the grain transport team of more than 200 Qing Demons. There is a shortage of such fierce generals among my subordinates, so please transfer the king of the east to my command for his brother. I wonder if the king of the east can agree? ”

Feng Yunshan's words were very sincere, and his posture was also very low. Shi Dakai couldn't help but cold his face, the kings of the Taiping Army each had their own deployment. Shi Dakai did not have any interest and good feelings for the God Worship Sect at all, but he was able to be crowned the Wing King, and his status was far higher than that of many predecessors who had made great contributions to the God Worship Sect, mainly because Shi Dakai led more than 4,000 people to join the Taiping Army. Its number accounted for more than 20% of the Taiping army. Shi Dakai's subordinates are naturally owned by Shi Dakai, and Yang Xiuqing's subordinates are also under Yang Xiuqing's full management. In this traditional mode of having soldiers as generals, Feng Yunshan directly asked Yang Xiuqing for his subordinates, which must be said to be very inappropriate.

Yang Xiuqing was silent, he was completely able to understand Feng Yunshan's thoughts. Yang Xiuqing was born as a charcoal burner, made a wide range of friends, and gathered heroes from three mountains and five mountains under his command. Xiao Chaogui is the leader of the miners, and his subordinates are resolute and resolute. Guangxi's living environment is harsh, and it is this harsh living environment that has forced many very outstanding people. Feng Yunshan was a native of Guangdong, and most of his subordinates were congregants who gathered in various places during the missionary period. Whether it is combat ability or command ability, Feng Yunshan's subordinates are relatively poor in the Taiping army. In the Yong'an system, the military system of the Taiping Army stipulated that promotion depended on military merit, and Wei Ze, a young officer who showed his prominence, and the 25 people under his command were all Guangxi brothers of the Taiping Army, and Wei Ze was in his hands. It is quite helpful to Feng Yunshan.

Now that he understood what Feng Yunshan meant, Yang Xiuqing also knew very well that it was actually difficult for him to refuse. Since he couldn't refuse, Yang Xiu, who was good at befriending the heroes of the rivers and lakes, smiled heartily, "King Nan, in that case, I will make up for Wei Ze's subordinates tomorrow, and then give him to you along with his subordinates." ”

Feng Yunshan didn't expect Yang Xiuqing to be so refreshing, he hurriedly replied, "Then thank you Dongwang." ”

Shi Dakai saw that Yang Xiuqing and Feng Yunshan had completed the transfer of subordinates, although he was not necessarily happy in his heart, he didn't say anything, but got up and said goodbye. Yang Xiuqing left Shi Dakai to eat together, and Shi Dakai replied: "I'll go back and eat with my subordinates." ”

Yang Xiuqing knew that this was Shi Dakai's style, Shi Dakai would not cook for himself alone, and would eat the same meal with his subordinates every time. Therefore, Yang Xiuqing no longer retained Shi Dakai. Shi Dakai bowed his hand to Yang Xiuqing and left the Dongwang Mansion.

Feng Yunshan didn't stay with Yang Xiuqing to eat either. Feng Yunshan was very happy to be able to ask for a fierce general like Wei Ze from Yang Xiuqing. Among the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, was the most respected, and he was crowned 9,000 years old. More importantly, Yang Xiuqing was the main army division of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the supreme commander of all the armies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Feng Yunshan also had to obey Yang Xiuqing's orders militarily. Feng Yunshan has been in charge of the actual missionary work of the Worship of God, and the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan considers himself to be the second son of the Heavenly Father, the reincarnation of Jesus' own brother. For Hong Xiuquan, he originally wanted to establish a new religion. It was Feng Yunshan who transformed the Worship of God Cult from a religious organization into a rebel organization, established the rules of the Worship of God Religion, and united many cultists under the same banner, which was Feng Yunshan's greatest contribution to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

And although Hong Xiuquan is obsessed with religion, it does not mean that the brains of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really believe in Jehovah and Christ Jesus. In 1847, Yang Xiuqing called on the congregation with "Heavenly Father possessed".

It was November 19, 1848, and Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, was also "possessed". It was an interesting Chinese public séance. On November 19, 1848, Xiao Chaogui pretended to ask his brother Jesus to go down to earth and had a conversation with Hong Xiuquan.

Brother Christ said to Heavenly King Yun: Brother Hong Xiuquan, do you recognize me?

The king said: "The little brother recognizes."

And after confirming Xiao Chaogui's "Heavenly Brother" Christian identity that time, a few days later, Hong Xiuquan had another conversation with Xiao Chaogui:

The King of Heaven said: Brother Tian, who is the military advisor in peacetime?

Brother Tian's Day: Feng Yunshan, Yang Xiuqing, and Xiao Chaogui are all military advisors! Hong Xiuquan's younger brother, the sun is Er, and the moon is Er's wife. Feng Yunshan has three stars, Yang Xiuqing also has three stars, and Xiao Chaogui has two stars. Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui are double phoenixes! ”

Regardless of what the congregation thinks of the worship of God, the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are very clear about this. Even though Hong Xiuquan's heavenly father "God Jehovah" and "Christ Jesus" have appeared on earth, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West who is possessed by Jesus, still said that Feng Yunshan, the king of the south who has not been possessed and manifested, is still more reliable than "Heavenly Father" Yang Xiuqing. Even in the Yong'an establishment, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, was given the title of 9,000 years old, the commander of the army, and the important task of leading the affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Feng Yunshan was also a figure in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who could compete with Yang Xiuqing. Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, took charge of the "Sacred Treasury" and held the logistics power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This permission alone can make Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, not dominate.

When Wei Ze seized the fort, Feng Yunshan noticed this young man, this time he robbed the Manchu grain transportation team, Feng Yunshan learned that Wei Ze was able to carve out a way out of the barren mountains and mountains, especially Wei Ze's words "Why do you have to care about the gains and losses of this city and a place" completely moved Feng Yunshan. Wei Ze's words are of course not unusual, but these days, in order to break through the matter, in addition to holding a meeting by himself, the kings have also discussed this matter with many middle-level generals. The mid-level generals were also unable to come up with a better idea. Compared with the construction of these generals, Wei Ze also failed to put forward a good construction, but Wei Ze's perspective on the problem was quite liked by Feng Yunshan. And he moved his mind to collect it.

Under Feng Yunshan, what is most lacking is such a general who can fight independently. Seeing that Yang Xiuqing was preparing to promote Wei Ze, Feng Yunshan had to immediately make a request to Yang Xiuqing. Because Feng Yunshan believed that Wei Ze would definitely be able to make more contributions, and now Wei Ze was just a pawn commander who had just been promoted. If he waited for Wei Ze to be promoted to brigade commander or even division commander, it would be impossible for Feng Yunshan to ask for someone from Yang Xiuqing anyway.

Now Yang Xiuqing is happy to give people, and even promised to make up for Wei Ze's subordinates. Feng Yunshan's mood was very good.

Leaving Yang Xiuqing's palace, Feng Yunshan originally wanted to summon Wei Ze. But after thinking about it, Feng Yunshan gave up this plan again. After all, Wei Ze is the person of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, even if he recruits Wei Ze to his subordinates now, he doesn't need to recruit Wei Ze in such a hurry. If he did this, the result would only make Wei Ze feel that Feng Yunshan did not have a city government. Anyway, the matter has been decided, so let's wait for Wei Ze to come and see him himself.

And Feng Yunshan was not completely unprepared, although the combat effectiveness of the troops under his command was insufficient, the number of people was not below Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east. Feng Yunshan had already calculated properly and was ready to hand over a team of weaker pawns to Wei Ze to lead. Since Wei Ze volunteered to rob the Qing army's grain route, bringing more people could grab more things. Feng Yunshan recruited Wei Ze because Wei Ze showed the ability to lead troops to fight. If Wei Ze can't lead the soldiers and horses to fight, Feng Yunshan also hopes that it is not that he has no one to make the best use of it, at least not because Wei Ze will fail because of the lack of sufficient troops.

After all, he is the actual pope of the God Cult, and Feng Yunshan has never been a person who will stumble on his subordinates.
