Ten days before Qin Rigang was sent to attack Taizhou, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, suddenly called Wei Changhui, the king of the north, who had been beaten hundreds of strokes a few months ago and had been "recuperating in bed" until now, to the Dongwang Mansion and ordered him to lead his troops to Jiangxi.

After Wei Changhui, the king of the north, led more than 8,000 people to leave Tianjing City, five days later, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, called Qin Rigang into the Dongwang Mansion, and first scolded him angrily, accusing Qin Rigang of failure in Tianjia Town. After making Qin Rigang's scolded dog bloodless and worthless, the king of the east ordered Qin Rigang to lead his troops to attack Taizhou.

Qin Rigang led the troops out with a stomach full of anger, and on the way, he saw Wei Ze, who was now thriving, and his mood was even more depressed. However, the East King's orders are extremely strict, and as long as someone disobeys the order, he will definitely fall to the ground. He never expected that Wei Changhui, the king of the North who had been driving for several days, would suddenly appear on the way to Taizhou now. Going to Jiangxi and going to Taizhou, one to the southwest and the other to the northeast, this is the opposite direction.

However, at this time, Qin Rigang did not want to cause trouble. If it is known that the North King suddenly appears here, I am afraid that the North King Wei Changhui's life will not be guaranteed. Even Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, may not dare to kill Wei Changhui, but a violent beating of hundreds of rods is indispensable. So Qin Rigang didn't say much, he first asked his cronies to firmly guard the surroundings of the big tent, and then took Wei Changhui into the back.

Wei Changhui was not as nervous as Qin Rigang, after he entered the back tent, he lifted his hood, looked around casually, and said in a rather mocking tone: "Brother Qin, seeing that you are so careful, I think you are afraid of Yang Xiuqing." ”

Qin Rigang carefully closed the curtain, turned his head and said anxiously: "King Bei, how did you get here?" Shouldn't you be on your way to Jiangxi now? ”

Wei Changhui was more than 18o tall and had a sturdy figure, his eyes drooped, he stared at Qin Rigang and said: "Brother Qin, the Heavenly King said that you have always been loyal to the Heavenly King, and now the Heavenly King has a will, and wants you to lead the troops to follow me." Would you like to? ”

"The will of the Heavenly King?" Qin Rigang was stunned. It has been a long time since the King of Heaven has had no special will, and even if he has a will, it is just the same words, "If you obey the arrangement of the King of the East, you will serve the Kingdom of Heaven!" ”

Now all of a sudden, Hong Xiuquan has a will, or a will handed over to Wei Changhui, the king of the north. This could not but surprise Qin Rigang extremely much. He was suspicious, but he couldn't question it directly. After thinking about it, Qin Rigang said: "King Bei, although you were not ordered to go to Jiangxi. Brother, I can't report this to the king of the east, so brother arranges a fast boat, and you hurry up and take the boat. Although the time is poor, it can still catch up with the troops. I'll arrange it now! ”

Hearing this, the proud and calm look on Wei Changhui's face suddenly softened, and he said with great relief: "Brother Qin, at this time, you still put my safety first. I didn't misread you, and the King of Heaven didn't misread you! ”

After speaking, Wei Changhui took out an edict from his arms and held it in his hand, and said in a solemn voice: "Yan King Qin Rigang listens to the order!" ”

"King Bei, when is this going on, you still get this!" Qin Rigang didn't believe Wei Changhui's words after listening to them, but thought that Wei Changhui's actions were all self-made, and he wanted to try to get Wei Changhui to stop getting this moth, hurry up and go to Jiangxi, and don't let Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, come to Taizhou without permission.

"Yan King Qin Rigang, don't you believe that this is the edict of the Heavenly King?" Wei Changhui, the king of the north, said in a calm tone, "If it weren't for the edict of the Heavenly King, would I dare to come to your army so disregarding life and death?" ”

"This ......" Qin Rigang was shocked by the momentum on Wei Changhui's body, and was silent for a while, Qin Rigang finally knelt down and said, "Minister Qin Rigang takes the order!" ”

As a result, the edict in Wei Changhui's hand, Qin Rigang opened it, and the edict turned out to be a font that Hong Xiuquan was familiar with, and then looked at the big seal of the inscription, which was indeed the seal of the Heavenly King. Wei Changhui was still worried that it was fake, so he stood up and walked under the lamp to check for himself, and finally made sure that it was right. It was only then that his heart fell back into his stomach. Looking at the content of the will, he actually ordered Qin Rigang to lead his reliable cronies and subordinates to act with Wei Changhui, the king of the north.

Putting down the edict, Qin Rigang said excitedly: "King Bei, where are we going?" ”

Wei Changhui took out another edict and held it in his hand, "The Heavenly King has already given an order, but this edict can only be shown to you after it gets the place!" ”

"Good!" Qin Rigang actually had some numbers in his heart, but at this time, he felt more of a kind of joy, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, the supreme ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, finally ordered. After suffering so much anger and suffering so much under Yang Xiuqing's hands, Qin Rigang naturally chose to follow the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.

Qin Rigang's anger towards Yang Xiuqing has been for a long time, and this is not because Tianjiazhen was robbed of the crown after the defeat. Qin Rigang felt that he had indeed lost the battle, and he was not aggrieved when he was deprived of the title after the defeat.

The matter that made him completely deviate from Yang Xiuqing was born in early 1854. At that time, one of Qin Rigang's wranglers was sitting in front of the door, and Yang Xiuqing's uncle, who was born in the same year, passed by the door of Qin Rigang's house, and the wrangler did not stand up and salute. Yang Xiuqing's uncle was furious and beat the Wrangler with 200 lashes.

After the fight, Yang Xiuqing's uncle took this wrangler to see Qin Rigang. Of course, it is impossible for Qin Rigang to dispose of his own Wrangler without asking. Seeing this, Yang Xiuqing's count immediately took the wrangler who was beaten half to death to Huang Yukun of the Criminal Department to ask for "severe punishment". This uncle of the Yang family asked for another 200 boards for the Wrangler.

Huang Yukun, the official of the Criminal Department, felt that Uncle Yang Xiuqing was too arrogant and did not buy his account. This Yang Shushu was even more angry, kicked over Huang Yukun's table, turned around and ran to his nephew Yang Xiuqing to complain.

Yang Xiuqing was furious when he heard this, he didn't give his uncle face, he just looked down on himself, so he immediately ordered Shi Dakai, who was in charge of the Criminal Department at the time, to arrest Huang Yukun. After Huang Yukun got the news, he immediately wrote a resignation letter to Yang Xiuqing, Qin Rigang felt that this matter was caused by himself, Huang Yukun resigned, and Qin Rigang also immediately submitted his resignation. Zuo Tianhou Chen Chengying is Qin Rigang's hardcore brother, and he immediately resigned. Yang Xiuqing was thunderous and ordered to beat Chen Chengying with 100 rods, Qin Rigang with 200 rods, and Huang Yukun with 300 rods. Finally, the hapless wrangler was dismembered to his uncle.

At that time, what Qin Rigang hoped most was that the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan regained power, as long as the Heavenly King returned to power, Yang Xiuqing would not be able to do whatever he wanted. Qin Rigang and his friends were not bullied by Yang Xiuqing. Now that the Heavenly King's will that he had been waiting for had finally arrived, this could not help but make Qin Rigang feel excited.

"King Bei, I'll take people and horses with you tomorrow!" Qin Rigang said impatiently.

Wei Changhui had already regained his usual cordial appearance at this time, and he said in a low voice: "You can't take the whole army out. The will is clear, take your trusty brother with you. Others also continue to travel to Taizhou! ”

"Good!" Qin Rigang replied briskly. He didn't even think about why Wei Changhui knew that his destination was Taizhou.

Because there was something tomorrow, the two of them hurried to rest. Early the next morning, Qin Rigang immediately selected more than 2,000 of his hardcore troops, and the other thousands of soldiers and horses were led to Taizhou by the deputy general. Qin Rigang was behind in the name of pressing the formation. When the troops in front of them couldn't see the shadow, Qin Rigang led more than 2,000 people to cross the Yangtze River, and then abandoned the boat and landed. Go straight to the south of Tianjing City.

Yesterday, Qin Rigang's troops only walked for one day, and this day was only half a day. It's not a long way to get out. At this time, the camp in Jiangnan and Jiangbei was broken for several months, and the once tense defense of Tianjing City had long been relaxed.

After the troops landed on the shore, they went straight to the south gate of Tianjing City, and someone answered them halfway through. Qin Rigang and the others swaggered straight to the south under the banner of other troops, and finally arrived outside the south gate of Tianjing City after dark.

There are already troops outside the south gate to respond, and depending on the scale, the number is about four or five hundred. The two groups of men and horses combined had 3,000 men and horses in one place. At this time, Qin Rigang's subordinates had been marching for a long time, and they were all tired enough, so everyone simply sat on the ground and tried to rest.

But Wei Changhui didn't stop, he took out another holy decree and held it up under the lamplight, "Yan King Qin Rigang takes the decree!" ”

Qin Rigang did not hesitate at all this time, he knelt on the ground to accept the order. When I opened it, it was still a font that Hong Xiuquan was familiar with, and only one sentence was written on it, "Order Qin Rigang to follow Wei Changhui into Beijing to punish thieves!" ”

This is vague, but Qin Rigang is not ambiguous. Of course, there is a thief in Tianjing City, and this thief is Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. Qin Rigang put away the holy decree, he knelt up straight, and said loudly in the direction of the Heavenly King's Mansion: "Minister Qin Rigang receives the will of the Heavenly King!" ”

Waiting for Qin Rigang to get up, Wei Changhui said: "Brother Qin, it's my business to go in and punish the thief. All you have to do is send soldiers and horses to surround the thief's mansion, and whoever escapes will be killed! ”

"Honoring the will of the king of the north!" Qin Rigang replied without hesitation.

Wei Changhui saw that Qin Rigang fully understood the order, he grabbed the hood he was wearing on his head and threw it on the ground. He pointed in the direction of the city gate in the distance and said, "Go! Kill the thief! ”

Three thousand people lined up in a neat queue and rushed straight towards the south gate of Tianjing City. In the darkness of the night, the south gate is close. However, as the force approached, the tall gates shook for a moment, and then slowly opened. By the time Qin Rigang and Wei Changhui led their troops to the gate, the city gate was completely open to this army.

The inside of the city gate hole is dark, and you can vaguely see a cannon muzzle outward, and the cold winter wind rushes from the city gate hole. Qin Rigang was blown by this wind, and couldn't help but shudder. Placing an artillery position in the city gate cave was still a method set by Wei Changhui, the king of the north, when he was in charge of the defense of Tianjing City, Qin Rigang suddenly had a feeling that the cannons in the city gate cave might fire fiercely at Wei Changhui and himself, and beat the two of them into meat sauce together.

But the cannon didn't fire, Wei Changhui simply ignored the cannon's storage, he shouted: "Ignition!" ”

The officers and soldiers carrying torches in the troops behind him immediately lit the torches in their hands, and the firelight illuminated the surroundings, Qin Rigang saw that there was no one operating behind the cannon, and there was no one guarding the entire south gate.

"Let's go!" Wei Changhui pulled out his long sword, took the lead and rushed through the south gate of Tianjing City, and went straight to the city to kill.

Qin Rigang followed closely behind Wei Changhui and rushed towards the city.
