After ordering someone to send 100,000 stone of grain to Tianjing City, Wei Ze received an official letter from Tianjing City on September 15. The message inside is divided into three.

The first is about the system. Yang Xiuqing used official documents to Gao Weize, and all government affairs were decided by Yang Xiuqing, the division of the regular army. Then Yang Xiuqing led Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai to play the Heavenly King's decree.

This is a system that has long been prescribed, and Hong Xiuquan was originally introduced by Pope Feng Yunshan. Wei Ze also gradually figured out through various collected information later, it turned out that Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui, the two most powerful and powerful factions in the worship of God at that time, reached an alliance, and the Yang Xiao alliance controlled all the military and political powers, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was jointly signed by the Eastern King and the Western Wang.

As for the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan'......, after Feng Yunshan compromised with Yang Xiao's alliance, he only became a symbol called "Heavenly King".

The power is in the hands of the East King, which is itself the fundamental system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Wei Ze feels that Yang Xiuqing's formal writing is always a bit of a fuss. However, after reading it carefully, Weeser revealed something new in it.

This official document is the official document that established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom system, and it is clearly stated at the back that "the ministers are not allowed to do things". That is to say, only ceremonies such as greetings, congratulations, thanksgiving and other ceremonies that have nothing to do with political affairs can be submitted to the king of heaven, and even these must be stamped by Yang Xiuqing, and after examination, they can be submitted to the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan.

The system set by Yang Xiuqing openly required that the Heavenly Emperor Hong Xiuquan not allow Hong Xiuquan to directly review the political recitals related to the military and political affairs, as well as the ceremonial recitals that had not been reviewed by Yang Xiuqing.

Wei Ze never thought of giving Hong Xiuquan any recital, whether it was military or ceremonial. Not to mention that Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, is now completely elevating Hong Xiuquan from the system, even if Yang Xiuqing kills Hong Xiuquan, Wei Ze is not unhappy.

The second content is that the western expedition did not go well, and the Taiping army attacking Nanchang broke the siege after nearly 90 days of siege. At this time, the western expedition was handed over to the Wing King Shi Dakai to be responsible. Yang Xiuqing and Gao Weize did a good job of requisitioning grain in Anhui. However, he hoped that Wei Ze would be able to send troops to participate in the western expedition, at least along the Jiangbei to attack Hanyang.

The third content is relatively secret, Yang Xiuqing introduced some things about the Northern Expedition to Wei Ze, and Wei Ze obviously felt that Yang Xiuqing was not optimistic about the results of the Northern Expedition. However, Yang Xiuqing still had a glimmer of fantasy about the Northern Expedition, since the Taiping Army could fight from Jintian to Tianjing, it may not be impossible for the Northern Expeditionary Army to capture Beijing.

Wei Ze can fully understand Yang Xiuqing's mentality, after all, it is the elite of the 20,000 Taiping Army, and it is impossible for Yang Xiuqing to sit back and watch them fall without wavering. Synthesizing Yang Xiuqing's three contents, Wei Ze guessed that Yang Xiuqing's idea was that since Wei Ze was completely loyal to Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing reminded Wei Ze not to make unconscious mistakes because he did not pay attention to the system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

As for just suing Wei Ze for the Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition, it is estimated that half of it is due to Wei Ze's contribution to transporting grain, and he does not want to put so much pressure on Wei Ze immediately. The other half hoped that Wei Ze could continue to advance north and shorten the distance between him and the Northern Expeditionary Army as much as possible.

Wei Ze had already determined the fate of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and the Northern Expeditionary Army under his command had recently been unable to rescue at all. After thinking about it, Wei Ze suddenly figured out one more thing, with the momentum of Yang Xiuqing's hero, he gave himself such an official document so twisted and pinched, and the fundamental purpose was only to ask Wei Ze to enter Tianjing as soon as possible.

Fortunately, the grain requisition work has been regularized, and the troop training and defense system are also on track, and Wei Ze is not afraid that there will be something special about the moth. He led the guards straight to Tianjing City.

After arriving at Chaohu Lake, there is a very smooth waterway, and Hefei occupied by Wei Ze is also a place with a dense water network, and the boat is much faster than taking 6 roads. On September 22, Wei Ze appeared outside the Dongwang Mansion.

It's also quite sad to say, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has occupied Tianjing for almost half a year, and this is the first time Wei Ze has stepped into Tianjing City. Wei Ze heard that the East King also moved once, and the East Wangfu moved from the side of the Ming Palace in the Chaoyang Gate of the East Gate to the area of Luo Lang Lane to the east of the Dry West Gate and the west of the Chaotian Palace.

None of that mattered, the important thing was that Weeser felt that he really should come here to see it for himself. The East King's trust in Wei Ze will definitely not be unconditional, from this point of view, Wei Ze should actually come to the East King Mansion earlier to listen to Yang Xiuqing's orders.

After Wei Ze asked to see him, Yang Xiuqing did not let Wei Ze wait too long. The Dongwang Mansion does look magnificent, of course, this is also relatively speaking, Wei Ze feels that the Forbidden City may look more grand.

"How much more grain can you bring over each month?" Yang Xiuqing's first sentence after seeing Wei Ze was this.

Wei Zexian gave an honest gift, and then replied: "I can give 10,000 or 20,000 stones a month." ”

One stone is 12o catties, and one or two thousand stones a month is nearly 2oo catties of grain. Hearing this number, Yang Xiuqing finally relieved. He smiled and said, "Brother Wei, well done!" ”

Wei Ze didn't want to play anything pampered and arrogant, he asked with a straight face: "King Dong, my subordinates have something to ask about this time." If a subordinate goes to fight elsewhere, he does not know who can take over the territory laid by his subordinates. ”

Seeing that Yang Xiuqing was not surprised after hearing this, Wei Ze was sure that Yang Xiuqing already had a candidate.

"Brother Wei, who is the candidate?" Yang Xiuqing asked.

"King Dong, you're joking, your subordinates can't recognize all the high-ranking officials in our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, how do you know who can be sent to Anhui after your subordinates leave. The subordinates wanted to tell Dongwang about the situation in Anhui. Weese replied.

The base area in Anhui is the base area of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom second only to the control of southern Anhui, but Wei Ze estimates that the mobilization and taxation in Anhui will be better than that in southern Anhui. It was impossible for any Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army to disperse tens of thousands of people to the countryside to implement the payment of grain taxes. That's why Wei Ze was able to make such a big determination and do so much work.

Wei Ze also told Yang Xiuqing about his basic strategic concept for establishing the Anhui base area and the corresponding supporting measures. Yang Xiuqing and Wei Ze are both top talents in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the discussion between the two does not involve other nonsense at all, and the discussion completely revolves around how to operate the tax and conscription system in Anhui.

After the discussion, Yang Xiuqing said: "Brother Wei, if you go to fight in other places, I think it is most appropriate for Qin Rigang to replace you." ”

"Oh?" Wei Ze's impression of Qin Rigang was that he had fought a great defeat after highlighting Yong'an, losing thousands of Taiping soldiers at Longliaoling, and since then Qin Rigang has not been able to lead an army alone. With such a not simple system, whether Qin Rigang, the general of the defeated army, can manage it well, this is a question.

However, since Yang Xiuqing said it, Wei Ze naturally couldn't deny it. Besides, if he really asked him to send his subordinates to take charge of Anhui, Wei Ze still felt distressed. In the current situation, Wei Ze's own henchmen are in charge of Anhui, which is equivalent to handing over his henchmen and letting Yang Xiuqing use them. Wei Ze's loyalty to Yang Xiuqing is based on Wei Ze's loyalty to the line represented by Yang Xiuqing, but it is far from the point of selling his liver and kidney to support Yang Xiuqing.

So Wei Ze replied calmly: "Obey the will of the East King." If the king of the east arranges for Qin Rigang, then he might as well hurry up and let Qin Rigang go to Anqing, so that he can gradually become familiar with the situation in Anhui. ”

"When Brother Wei returns to Anqing, go back with Qin Rigang." Yang Xiuqing made a decision.

"King Dong, since this matter is over, then my subordinates want to talk about the fight against Hubei, and my subordinates may be able to send troops to Hanyang, but now the troops under him are capable of this. After all, the subordinates have to continue to fight north, and they have to pay taxes on the grain and send grain to Tianjing. Weese began to talk about the Western Expedition.

Yang Xiuqing said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about this, I have already ordered the Wing King to be in charge of the Western Expedition, you can do a good job of the affairs in Anhui, and leave these to Qin Rigang to do, but you can't lack the supply of grain and grass from Tianjing." ”

"Oh!" Wei Ze let out a long breath, and Yang Xiuqing didn't let Wei Ze attack everywhere, which really relieved him of great pressure. "Thank you, King Dong!" Wei Ze thanked Yang Xiuqing.

"Humph!" Yang Xiuqing laughed, and then asked, "Brother Wei, have you forgotten anything?" ”

Wei Ze was stunned, he couldn't remember what he had forgotten. Wei Ze never pretended in front of Yang Xiuqing, he asked: "May I ask the king of the east, what else have your subordinates forgotten?" ”

Yang Xiuqing said with a playful smile: "You swore that you wanted to be the prime minister of the day, but you were quite unhappy when you didn't become a prime minister. Fighting Tianjing did not promote your officials. You have done a great job by sending so much food now. Don't you have any thoughts about promotion? ”

"Can you still give me a king?" Weeser didn't know what to think, so he asked.

"Why not?" Yang Xiuqing replied.
