Wei Ze touched his chest, and the copy of Guan Wen that Chen Delong got for him was safely placed close to him. ~~~~ He had already been to Chen Delong's residence yesterday, and this guy did not live in the south of the city, but in the east of the city. If things can't go as he wishes, Wei Ze's next step is to go straight to Chen Delong's residence in the east of the city, and then pull Chen Delong, in the name of transferring troops to fight rebellion, and hurry back to Changzhou, at least to Zhenjiang to join the troops.

Once he had soldiers in his hands, Wei Ze took the initiative. At that time, Zai Xing troops went to Tianjing City, although there was a lot of trouble, but it would not lead to the worst result. As for Wei Ze's family, it could only be temporarily thrown in Tianjing City. If something really happened, Wei Ze could only admit it.

The more the troops moved forward, they saw more and more panicked small groups of soldiers and horses. Wei Ze ordered: "Raise the flag!" ”

The captain of the guard looked at Wei Ze's team of only more than thirty people, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "Chief of General Staff, are we more careful?" ”

Wei Ze sneered, "What else should you be careful about at this time?" The more careful you are, the more sneaky you look. Raising the banner of King Qi, those guys with ghosts in their hearts saw that we were right, and they didn't dare to come up and intercept them at all. The guy who has no ghost in his heart naturally wants to reason with us, at that time, I was the king of Qi, even if I couldn't order them, they really dared to arrest me? ”

The captain of the guard was originally just worried about being attacked, but now he is full of confidence when he listens to what Wei Ze said, although he doesn't understand the truth of what Wei Ze said, he also feels that he has a backbone. He ordered: "Raise the flag!" ”

The yellow silk flag with a length and width of eight feet was beaten up, and the triangular flag was embroidered with a water-red edge, and the red characters were written on it: "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Qi Wang Wei". With the guidance of this banner, Wei Ze's troops of more than 30 people immediately looked imposing.

Wei Ze naturally had an unspeakable reason in his heart, even if someone had to stop him, as long as the banner was raised at this time, they could only take Wei Ze to the East King's subordinates. After all, Wei Ze is still considered to be the number one general under the command of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and when the king of the East was killed and there was chaos, Wei Ze's name still had enough deterrent power.

Things weren't as bad as Weser thought, or about the same as Weser thought. The East King was killed in an elaborate "slashing operation". After the raiders killed the East King, they had no choice but to protect themselves first because of the lack of troops. At this time, the people of the Eastern King were in a hurry, showing a panic. At this time, Wei Ze acted so swaggeringly, not only did no one dare to stop Wei Ze, but many Taiping army troops saw Wang Qi and hurriedly knelt on the side of the road to greet Wei Zetong guò in accordance with the rules of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At this time, the focus of the city is near the East Wangfu in the south of the city, and the closer to the north of the city, the more nothing will happen. There was no obstacle along the way, and Wei Ze's team went straight to Chen Degui's barracks in the north.

There was still a mile to go from Chen Degui's barracks, and Wei Ze's troops slowed down. Yesterday, Wei Ze's guards privately contacted the staff officers of Chen Degui's troops, and the two sides agreed that everyone would meet here to discuss the issue of trying to return this unit, or at least the abolished staff personnel, to Wei Ze's troops after the Long Live Ceremony. This is, of course, a natural reason, and an excuse for Weeser's arrangement.

Looking nervously at where the agreement was, if he didn't see Zhang Yingchen's troops here, Wei Ze would have to think carefully about whether to continue to venture to Chen Degui's barracks, or simply follow another set of plans, turn to the east of the city and join Chen Delong. Hurry out of Tianjing City and go east to join the troops.

Just when he was in a state of flux, several people suddenly appeared on the street corner in front of him. Wei Ze's troops immediately became nervous, and even Wei Ze subconsciously touched the handcuff on his waist.

"Chief of the General Staff!" The men ran and shouted, "Is it the Chief of the General Staff?" ”

This title made Wei Ze feel a little relieved, in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, basically his own people who used such titles.

As soon as the men approached, they were stopped by the guards. Soon, the guard in charge of liaison with the staff shouted: "Chief of the General Staff, this is our brother. ”

"Let them come!" Wei Ze hurriedly ordered.

The man ran to Wei Ze, his face was full of excitement, "Chief of the General Staff, you're here!" I am Hayama, chief of the combat training section of the 16th Army! We learned that something was going on in the city, so we first contacted our brothers from the army staff, and then rushed over! We remembered that a fraternity would come here to meet us today, so we ran out to see if we could meet the brothers. I've waited so long and haven't seen you coming, we just heard that something happened to Dongwang, and we've been worried that something will happen to you too! Just now, someone came to say that the Qi Wangfu was also attacked by traitors, and some people said that something happened to you too! ”

Speaking of this, Hayama had tears in his eyes, and his voice choked up.

"How's it going in the army?" Wei Ze hurriedly asked.

Ye Shan hurriedly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and hurriedly replied: "When the army learned that Dongwang had an accident, everyone was in chaos for a while, but when the brothers in the staff contacted the commander and appeased the brothers, the army settled down." Now everyone thinks that there can be no chaos at this time, and the military spirit must be stabilized first. But everyone said that they are waiting for the chief of the general staff to come to the army, and with you, we have the backbone. ”

Wei Ze breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and he hurriedly asked, "How many brothers did you bring out?" ”

Hayama replied, "More than eighty people! But the camp gate in front is our brother, Chief of the General Staff, I will lead the way in front, let's hurry up! ”

"Lead the way!" Wei Ze ordered.

Hayama hurriedly ran to the street entrance, and soon, more than eighty warriors ran out with Hayama. At this time, there was no need to worry about anything else, and the top priority was to rush to the barracks and control the troops.

Weizer's troops ran forward after Hayama's troops, and soon, they saw the barracks gate. Hundreds of soldiers were loaded with guns and ammunition, and they lined up neatly outside the camp gate. Not only the infantry, but also the artillerymen dragged out the cannons, staring at the street leading to the camp gate.

Although he knew that the target of the opposite army was not his own, and although he knew that the troops on the opposite side were all his subordinates, Wei Ze's heart couldn't help but tighten up with this strict layout. If this force is not reliable, it will only be a matter of minutes for his more than 30 troops to be killed. Not only was Wei Ze a little worried about this, but the guards also subconsciously slowed down.

However, Hayama's troops quickly converged with the troops at the barracks' gate, and after a few moments, the troops blocking the barracks were divided into two columns and stood in an upright position on both sides of the passage leading to the barracks gate, and all the troops put their rifles on the left side of their bodies, and the gate to the barracks was opened.

Later, in the "History of the Chinese General Staff", it was recorded that "after the Tianjing Rebellion, the staff of the former 16th Army, which had been deprived of power, resumed its work, stabilized the people's hearts, quickly accepted the leadership of the central government, and saved countless lives." This experience has proved that the General Staff system is a very reliable and advanced system, and even in the event of a blow, the General Staff System can still restore its operational capability if there is any opportunity. It is precisely with such an advanced system that the victory of the revolution is guaranteed......"

In the military history of the former "16th Army", it is recorded as follows, "...... After the Tianjing Rebellion broke out, the Holy Lord immediately galloped towards our army. At this moment of confusion, all the officers and men of our army, which had already cancelled the number of the 16th Army, did not lose their revolutionary ideals, but quickly moved closer to the revolutionary forces centered on the saint and saved the revolutionary ......

…… At about 7 o'clock on January 24, 1855, the saint rode a white horse straight to the barracks, and the flag in front of the team was waving in the wind. When they saw the banner of the Holy Lord, our officers and soldiers immediately lined up to respond. The saint galloped into the army, and all the officers and soldiers cheered......

…… After that, our army made a collective special merit ......"

Except for the fact that there was no cheering, the actual situation was not much different from the record of military history. At that time, there was no time to cheer at all, at this time the staff had already taken control of a corner of the barracks, and Wei Ze had actually entered the camp secretly. Facing all the staff of the staff who took the opportunity to come, Wei Zeyan told everyone all the news, "The East King has been killed, and it was the Tianwang Group that killed the East King!" ”

Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan is not particularly sacred in Wei Ze's army, and as for Yang Xiuqing, the East King, since he has been killed, there is no reason to pay attention to it anymore.

But this news still shook hundreds of people up and down the staff department, "Is it really the hand of the Heavenly King?" Immediately, a staff officer asked questions.

Wei Ze said loudly: "You should have received the news that the troops who attacked the Dongwang Mansion this time are also the brothers of our Taiping Army. As far as I know, according to the deployment of the king of the east, the king of Yi and the king of Yu were in Hubei, the king of the north went to Jiangxi, and the king of Yan went to Taizhou. I brought dozens of people in Tianjing City. In the entire Tianjing City, there are still troops outside the Eastern King's subordinates. According to intelligence, it was Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, who killed the king of the east. If the two of them didn't have an internal response, how could they quietly enter Tianjing City, and then kill the East King and attack the Qi Palace? Everyone is from the General Staff, and I said that there is no internal response, do you believe it? ”

Listening to Wei Ze's words, many staff officers sneered. There is no need to discuss this truth in the General Staff at all, and if it is a sudden action of a few people, there may be a huge chance in it. The contingencies of the actions carried out by thousands of troops have been reduced to a very low level.

Wei Ze waved his hand to silence everyone, "Then who can say that the East King's troops will defect, and no one else can do it except the Heavenly King." Do you still have any questions about this? ”

"What about the Chief of the General Staff, how did you escape?" A staff officer couldn't help but ask. This issue immediately caught everyone's attention.

Wei Ze sighed, "I got married a few months ago, and I just returned to Tianjing City, my wife wants to go back to her parents' house, and the curfew is so strict, I simply live in my father-in-law's house." I didn't expect to escape with my life. ”

When everyone heard such an incomparably legitimate reason, they couldn't help but sigh out, feeling relieved for Wei Ze's fate.

"When I got out, I didn't think I could just walk away, so I hurried here. Brothers, this time the Heavenly King is not just to deal with the East King, this is to wipe out the East King's men! That's why I'm here to take you with me! ”

"All in one? Why is that? The chief of staff of the army was quite surprised by Wei Ze's analysis.

Wei Zeyan said: "This time, not only the Dongwang Mansion was attacked, but my Qi Wangfu was also attacked. What does this mean? This shows that the goal of the attackers is very clear, they are not attacking the East King to vent their anger, but with a clear purpose to eliminate all the upper echelons under the command of the East King's Mansion. Completely destroy the influence of Miè Dongwang's faction. When the upper echelons are removed, then it will be the brothers' turn. ”

The struggle at the top of the ...... made these rather clever guys in the General Staff scratch their heads for a while.

Wei Ze continued to explain: "If the East King and I are gone, although the rest of the East King Mansion still holds the military power, they will not have the right to speak in the government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which means that they will not be able to speak. At that time, no matter what they wanted to do, they had to go through a high-level like Guò Heavenly King to do something to the North King. At that time, they went to the king of heaven to reason, but they fell into the trap of the king. According to the system, they were not allowed to carry weapons when they went to see the king of heaven, but those who killed the king of the east were armed......"

Weeser didn't care about explaining the twists and turns of these struggles to these people, firstly, Weeser didn't think that he would use this method against his subordinates, and secondly, he also needed to make these subordinates a witness. The Tianjing Incident is definitely not the end here, and with the killing of Yang Xiuqing, a new stage will unfold. This is the same as in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the noble relatives and the ten permanent servants died together, which does not mean that the contradiction and struggle are over. First He Jin, then Dong Zhuo, and then Situ Wang Yun, and then even a military general under Dong Zhuo like Lu Bu could jump up and disrupt the situation. Once the bloody struggle within this system begins, it is basically impossible to stop until the trouble is brought to an end.

"I'll just ask you one thing now, do you want to come with me?" Weese shouted.

The staff officers looked at each other for a moment, and the answer did not need to be discussed at all, and all the staff officers replied in a loud voice: "Resolutely follow the Chief of the General Staff!" ”

The General Staff Department was originally the core organ of the army, and at this time, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, had been killed, and the system that once suppressed the troops was basically wiped out at this time. Wei Ze is the king of Qi, from the system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as soon as Yang Xiuqing dies, Wei Ze can rely on the status of this king of Qi to order any officers and soldiers with a status lower than him at will.

More importantly, the disbanded staff of the staff undoubtedly expected a rebuilding of the staff. Now all the truth is on the side of Weze, plus there is no movement of personnel between the troops and other troops. With Weese leading the way, the staff followed, and the commanders or former commanders of the various units were called into Weese's camp one by one. They also expressed their willingness to follow Weeser again.

The white cloth from the logistics warehouse was taken out and reorganized with the personnel of the troops in accordance with the previous establishment. All had a white cloth belt tied around their left arm. First, it was to distinguish it from other Taiping troops, and secondly, it was also to express condolences for the death of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East.

By the time Chen Chengrong, Marquis of Zuotian, entered Chen Degui's army in the morning, Wei Ze's side had already reorganized more than half of the troops.

The first to be rectified was the unit in which the commander of the Weese force was still in office, and there was no conflict yet. After the reorganization of this part of the troops, Wei Ze and the others immediately began to fully "protect" the commander who was inserted by Yang Xiuqing.

These people failed to comprehend the fact that they were protected, and skirmishes erupted. This movement immediately alarmed Chen Degui and Chen Chengrong in the big tent.

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard a commotion in the distance. It was the first time Chen Chengrong had come to Chen Degui's barracks, and Chen Degui could hear it clearly, and the noise was actually coming from inside the barracks. At this time, Chen Degui had already become a frightened bird, and he hurriedly ordered his opponent: "You go and see what happened now!" ”

Those who are sent out go quickly, and they return quickly. They returned to the tent at gunpoint.

"Are you going to rebel?" Chen Degui, who was soon accused, shouted in horror.

"They're not trying to rebel, they're just following orders!" With the voice, Weezer appeared at the door of the tent with the guards.

"King Qi! What do you mean? Chen Degui was still young, and when he saw this situation, he shouted at Wei Ze.

Wei Ze didn't answer this meaningless question, he asked calmly: "Chen Degui, why don't you kneel when you see this king?" ”
