On February 22, the Chinese army under the command of Yang Xiuqing arrived in Anqing. Weeser immediately led the team to meet him. Seeing Wei Ze coming out of Anqing, Yang Xiuqing was stunned, "Prime Minister Wei, didn't you already arrive in Nanjing, why are you in Anqing again?" ”

Wei Ze had already practiced what he had to say many times, and he went up to salute first, and then said, "King Dong! I've got you in wait! ”

Yang Xiuqing stepped forward and pulled Wei Ze up, "What the hell is going on?" ”

Wei Ze replied: "When I arrived at the city of Nanjing, I didn't hold it for a while, so I started to beat the city of Nanjing. But after attacking for a while, it was not defeated, and then Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang of the front team arrived with troops. The subordinates heard that there was a Qing demon who wanted to fight Chizhou, so they remembered that their subordinates were opening the way for the Dongwang army. Then I hurriedly brought my brother back. ”

"Huh!" Yang Xiuqing was amused, "Prime Minister Wei, did you really try to hit Nanjing?" ”

"The subordinates tried to fight Nanjing, but they couldn't beat it." Wei Ze had an embarrassed expression on his face.

"Let's go into the city." Yang Xiuqing had already straightened her face, and her tone was a little unhappy.

Anqing's governor Yamen, Yang Xiuqing sat on the main seat and stared at Wei Ze, his sharp gaze seemed to be to see through Wei Ze's innermost thoughts. This is the first time Yang Xiuqing has looked at Wei Ze with such a gaze, and I have to admit that the pressure on Wei Ze's heart is still quite great.

But for people in the 21st century, talking to leaders is just a skill. Since Wei Ze knew that he was wrong, he was almost prepared for the rest of the words. So it's kind of withstandable.

"King of the East! The subordinate is now the prime minister of Dongguanzheng, and the subordinate thinks all the way, only by making great contributions can he be ranked among the prime ministers of Tianguan, so the ghost began to fight Nanjing. At that time, his subordinates felt that if his subordinates had made a lot of contributions, it would be much easier for the East King to promote his subordinates. "Wei Ze This is complete nonsense, don't say anything about the prime minister, even if he is the king, he doesn't have any feelings for Wei Ze.

However, this reason is quite normal in the Taiping Army, Yang Xiuqing listened to Wei Ze's reason, and his face softened a little, "And then?" ”

Wei Ze gave a brief introduction to what he did under the city of Nanjing, and of course, some of the contents were hidden. In general, Wei Ze's evaluation of himself was, "I don't know how to attack the city, so I can't take it!" ”

Yang Xiuqing was quite unhappy, he scolded: "If you don't know how to attack the city, don't fight indiscriminately!" How are you going to clean up a mess left behind? ”

Being reprimanded like this, Wei Ze was relieved in his heart. Yang Xiuqing's reaction shows that Wei Ze's judgment is correct, and Yang Xiuqing does not seem to want others to get involved in the great achievement of capturing Nanjing.

"My subordinates know it's wrong!" Weeser bowed his head and replied.

Seeing that Wei Ze was still sensible, Yang Xiuqing scolded a few more words in anger, and then began to ask about Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang. Wei Ze left all his seized materials to Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang at that time. He told Yang Xiuqing about this, and also told Yang Xiuqing about some of the arrangements of Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang when he left.

After hearing this, Yang Xiuqing closed her eyes and thought for a moment. Weese hurriedly presented the map he had drawn. Yang Xiuqing saw a more detailed map of Nanjing, but he let out a long breath and began to ask Wei Ze for more details.

After all the questions were finished, Yang Xiuqing breathed a sigh of relief, "Fortunately, you still know how to withdraw." If it weren't for the vanguard going fast, if you stormed for a few more days, the Qing demons outside Nanjing would surround you, and you wouldn't be able to leave if you wanted to. ”

Wei Ze was actually very unconvinced in his heart, if the Qing army played field warfare, Wei Ze was not afraid at all. But the Qing army was afraid that it didn't have the guts. But this is not the time to fight otherwise, Wei Ze quickly admitted his mistake.

Since Wei Ze had a good attitude, Yang Xiuqing had no intention of chasing him to the end, he said: "You ran all the way back from Nanjing, and you can be regarded as knowing how to advance and retreat." I haven't forgotten that you are a pioneer. You can go to Nanjing with my brigade. ”

"King Dong, my subordinates don't want to fight Nanjing. The subordinates want to guard Anqing. Weese replied.

"Why?" At this time, Yang Xiuqing frowned, obviously not understanding Wei Ze's thoughts.

Wei Ze hurriedly said: "King Dong, with King Dong presiding, capturing Nanjing is just a gesture. After we take Nanjing, we will have to capture Wuchang and Changsha again. In that case, let's not give up Anqing. If you give up at this time, it will be difficult to capture Anqing again. The subordinates went down the river this time, and felt that Anqing was indeed a place to be guarded. ”

Yang Xiuqing looked at the map, Anqing's geographical location is indeed of great strategic value, it is located between Nanjing and Wuchang, holding the Yangtze River. With Anqing, whether it is to the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, or simply go north to Henan, or to march into Jiangxi, it has heavy military value.

Wei Ze is now betting on Yang Xiuqing's strategic vision, and in history, the Taiping Army and the Hunan Army fought in Wuchang and Changsha repeatedly, and they will definitely not fail to hold Anqing. And now that the Taiping army has given up Wuchang, it will also choose to abandon Anqing. When everyone was thinking about how to build the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Jinling, it was a good opportunity to be crowned an official and knighted, and they took the initiative to apply to stay in Anqing, which was the best opportunity. At this time, no one grabbed this "drudgery" with Wei Ze at all.

Seeing that Yang Xiuqing's attitude had loosened somewhat, Wei Ze continued: "King Dong, my subordinates have made such a big mistake under Nanjing City, let my subordinates go to Nanjing again." The subordinates also felt that they couldn't hold their faces. Moreover, his subordinates ran back to Anqing from Nanjing, and the brothers were tired enough, and it would be useless to go to Nanjing again. It's better to let your subordinates guard Anqing, and when your subordinates are willing to let Dongwang fight Nanjing, there will be no worries! If you can keep Anqing, this is also the credit of your subordinates! ”

"Oh?" Yang Xiuqing frowned, "Isn't it okay for the Chunguan to be the prime minister?" Isn't it okay for Xia Guanzheng to be prime minister? Do you have to be an official and prime minister that day? ”

As soon as Wei Ze saw that Yang Xiuqing was finally led to the track prepared by Wei Ze, Wei Ze immediately climbed along the pole, and he stammered a little with a look of shame: "King Dong!" Subordinate...... subordinates, subordinates feel that they almost ruined the affairs of Dongwang, so they can't help but want to find a good excuse not to go to Nanjing. In fact, what his subordinates really want is to keep Anqing and make meritorious contributions. So please don't get angry with your subordinates. ”

Sure enough, after Yang Xiuqing heard this, her expression returned to normal. After all, Wei Ze was a general who made it clear that he was only loyal to Yang Xiuqing, although this attack on Jinling almost ruined Yang Xiuqing's arrangement. Fortunately, Wei Ze knows that his mistakes can be corrected, and Yang Xiuqing is not a small-bellied person, he smiled: "Brother Wei, you are childish!" According to what you just said, do you think that this prime minister can be anyone if I say a few words casually? ”

"The subordinates don't dare to ask for official positions anymore, as long as the East King is not angry with his subordinates and lets his subordinates continue to work for the East King, the subordinates will feel relieved." Wei Ze said seriously.

After Yang Xiuqing thought about it for a while, she saw that Wei Ze really understood the truth, and felt that she couldn't give up Anqing so lightly. He said: "Brother Wei, you have been traveling all the way, from Wuchang to Nanjing, but you have worked hard. ”

"Willing to serve the East King!" Wei Ze replied categorically.

Yang Xiuqing thought for a moment, stared at the map for a while, and finally made up his mind, "Brother Wei, let you guard Anqing, you will guard Anqing for me, don't make any other trouble." If you give me nonsense like you did in Nanjing, I won't spare you! ”

"Yes!" Weese replied with a bowed head.

After receiving the order, Wei Ze was relieved and sent Yang Xiuqing to the fleet. Watching Yang Xiuqing's big boat go down the river, Wei Ze only felt that his mood at this time felt as refreshing as a bird that had been released. finally understood the mistakes he made, and got the opportunity to exhibit freely, Wei Ze was really happy.

Whether it's under bastards like Hong Xiuquan, or under a hero like Yang Xiuqing, it's not easy to mix. After more than a year, Wei Ze knew his temperament, no matter how bitter he was, he really couldn't willingly succumb to the people of the past era. In that case, it's better to find a way to go it alone.

Returning to the troops, Wei Ze conveyed the news of holding Anqing to the troops. At this time, the officers were tossed, and many brothers did not understand why they had to leave Jinling City suddenly. Hu Chenghe asked: "Prime Minister, is someone trying to drive us away?" ”

This question resonated with many brothers, and everyone stared at Wei Ze with burning eyes, waiting for him to speak. And Ke Gongyu simply shouted, "We have worked so hard to build Jinling, who dares to drive us away, and wants to monopolize this great achievement, I will never agree." ”

The brothers are all coming to such an incomparably prosperous big city as Jinling for the first time, and they are about to leave before they can enjoy it for a while, and it seems that everyone has a lot of resistance.

Hearing these words, Wei Ze was afraid for a while. His subordinates have already hit the city of Nanjing, and they still care so much about whether they can make great contributions to Nanjing. If Wei Ze really captured Nanjing, what would the generals of other troops think? What will Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, think? Gathering everyone's grievances, it is really the end of a thousand people.

But there are some things that can't be explained clearly, if Wei Ze sues the brothers, I made a mistake in Nanjing. I'm afraid that these brothers will not only not understand, but will also feel that other people are jealous and do everything possible to stop it.

Wei Ze said with a smile: "This Nanjing is indeed a land of flowers, and there are many interesting places." My brothers have been with me for so long and know my character. If there is a brother who wants to fight Nanjing, I can arrange for him to go with the team. But anyone wants to go? ”

As soon as these words came out, the brothers who were clamoring to stay in Nanjing were silent. Guys, look at me, I'll look at you. Everyone complained and complained, and they really let them out of the team, and they were also unwilling.

Wei Ze knew what these people were thinking, and he said, "If no one wants to leave our team, then don't say useless words. Anqing is the provincial capital of Anhui and a big city. Let's have the final say here, think about how to take root in Anqing! ”
