Chapter 119: Jinling Tu Poor (11)
Chen Chengying brought Wei Ze's three requests back to the East Prince's Mansion, and after listening to Wei Ze's request, Huang Weijiang, who temporarily ranked first in the East Prince's Mansion, asked suspiciously, "Who wants to follow Wei Ze, can't we stop it?" ”
The first two of Weese's three demands, money and people, are easy to understand, while the third is not very easy to understand. What good will it do to take away all the people in the city who are willing to go with Wesser? Or is it that Wei Ze is going to attack the East King and the North King at the same time after all the people who are willing to follow him in the city leave Tianjing City?
"Wei Ze must have some tricks!" Chen Degui said without hesitation.
Everyone knows Chen Degui's dislike of Wei Ze, so no one takes Chen Degui's attitude to heart. But Chen Degui's words expressed everyone's common idea, Wei Ze would not withdraw from Tianjing City so simply. Staying in Tianjing City, Wei Ze is one of the players in the current game. After leaving Tianjing City, the change that decided the central pattern of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was not something that Wei Ze could participate in casually if he wanted to. From this point of view, Weese is asking for too little in return.
"Let's do the first two. The third is just an excuse for Wei Ze not to leave Tianjing City, let's send more troops and horses to prevent him from succeeding in his treacherous scheme! Liu Shaoting said.
Just when these people were discussing, Wei Ze's wife Qi Hongyi also asked Wei Ze suspiciously why he made such three requests. Wei Ze first told Qi Hongyi about the situation in Tianjing City, and then asked, "But I don't know what Madame thinks." ”
Qi Hongyi frowned and thought for a while before replying, "If what they did was unreasonable, it would be unreasonable. But I always feel that they are not strong enough. ”
Wei Ze felt that these words were too ordinary, and he really couldn't arouse his interest in answering, so he simply snorted twice in his nose, but didn't answer.
Qi Hongyi looked at Wei Ze's thoughtful appearance, and simply asked, "King Qi, if you come to implement the Dongwang Mansion, will it be different from them?" ”
The question was like a brain teaser of empathy, and Weser pondered for a while before answering, "If I get to their point, I'm afraid I will do the same thing as them." But I'm fundamentally different from them in one thing. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Ze subconsciously pinched his chin with his fingers, his gaze was straight, but his eyes looked very empty, as if his gaze was cast on another ethereal world that only Wei Ze could see, "I will never believe that I can control the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, but those people in the East Prince's Mansion believe that they can control the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan." In fact, not only do they think that they can control the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, they feel that they can control the whole situation. They believe that the balance of heaven is in their hands. ”
Speaking of this, Wei Ze suddenly closed his eyes, and after a while, Wei Ze opened his eyes, he stared at Qi Hongyi and said, "Originally, I heard a saying that people only believe what they believe. The people of the Dongwang Mansion believed that the situation they faced was still the same as when the Dongwang was alive, and many powers should still naturally exist. But in fact, this is not the case at all, even if they are sure to force out of Tianjing City, even if they can kill the North King, there is still the King of Heaven, the Wing King, the King of Yu, and the three prime ministers of Anhui. In the name of what they have to face, there are many opponents in the secret. But now they seem to have a chance to win, and I still think they are ridiculous. But when I think about it, my mind is no different from theirs now. Looks like I'll have to be careful myself. ”
Qi Hongyi didn't expect Wei Ze to criticize herself in the end, she chuckled, "King Qi, can you anticipate the enemy first, isn't it okay to be a little proud at this time?" Although yes, there is no need to be too yourself. ”
Wei Ze smiled a little embarrassedly: "I think I'm really better than those guys in the East Palace, but in fact, now it seems that I and them are just a dog, at most a fifty steps and a hundred steps apart." So I had to introspect myself. If you say harsh, you may not be able to talk about it. ”
Qi Hongyi shook his head, "King Qi, all things are done without resignation, born without being, for the sake of not worrying, and for success." Fu Wei Fuju is not going to go. From the perspective of the concubine, the king of Qi has not yet done what he can do, at most he can give birth without having it. ”
With such a wonderful person talking, Wei Ze couldn't help laughing, "It sounds very powerful, but now I can't figure it out, and I don't want to argue anymore." I've already remembered that there are a few things that I haven't overlooked, so I'll go ahead and do things first. Madame, let's rest early. ”
Back in the big tent, Wei Ze immediately wrote a letter to the three prime ministers of Anhui, telling them about the birth of Tianjing City. However, Wei Ze did not directly say that the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan commanded the matter, but wrote, "Someone instructed Wei Changhui, the king of the North, and Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, to murder the king of the east." There is also an internal response in Tianjing City, otherwise the Northern King Wei Changhui and they would not have entered the south gate of Tianjing City so easily. ”
Originally, Wei Ze also felt that with the strength at hand, he could completely ignore the upper echelons of the Heavenly Kingdom who had no special dealings with him on weekdays. But after reflecting on the reasons for the failure of the East Palace, Wei Ze suddenly figured out one thing, normal communication is a necessity. If Wei Ze didn't have any news now, he just stayed in Tianjing City with pride, and at this time, there were other "well-intentioned people" who spread the news that Wei Ze had privately communicated with the Northern King and the Eastern King to the Taiping Army outside Tianjing City, and Wei Zeke would be completely passive.
Nothing is taken for granted, seeing with his own eyes the fate of Yang Xiuqing, and seeing with his own eyes the foolish behavior of the people in the East Palace, Wei Zexian's current advantage is completely the generational level gap between the 21st century and the 19th century. As for Weeser himself, compared with these people, he is not more advanced in many places.
Putting away his arrogance, Wei Zexian took advantage of the news dissemination very seriously. Originally, Wei Ze felt that since he was determined to leave, he didn't have to care about many things at all. Looking at it now, if Wei Ze doesn't want to go, many things can be settled in the future. Since Wei Ze must go, everything must be handled clearly in black and white. The world is afraid of the word serious, and if Wei Ze wants to go from one victory to another, he must be more serious than anyone else.
Sending news to the prime ministers in Anhui and other places, Wei Ze then ordered his troops to immediately send people to arrange the communication line to ensure that the news of the north gate of Tianjing City could reach Zhenjiang Changzhou safely. Originally, Wei Ze only sent several waves of messengers to inform the defenders of Changzhou, and immediately sent troops of three armies to the north of Tianjing City.
Now Wei Ze wrote down the things that happened in Tianjing City today, and sent them out to Changzhou. At the end of this information, Weeser wrote, "For now, the struggle is only the beginning. If our army is not willing to kill with blood in order to fight for power, then we can only choose to prepare to break off with the Heavenly King Grace now and completely separate! ”
Of course, such an urgent thing, Wei Ze did not go out immediately. He arranged all the things he needed to prepare for tomorrow, and then he returned to the back tent tiredly, yawning and lying down. Without waiting to think about one more thing, Wei Ze fell into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, Weser got up and had breakfast. As they were arranging what they were going to do today, the reconnaissance troops came to report that about 20,000 Dongwang troops were moving to the north of the city, and they were carrying guns and cannons, and they looked very aggressive.
Even if it was properly arranged, there was still a lot of tension in the staff. The staff officers were all like they had eaten gunpowder, and they spoke at the slightest news worth being nervous about. Wei Ze was very unhappy when he saw this, but after thinking about it, he felt that such an expression was not incomprehensible.
Don't talk about the troops, even if the commander of the troops, Wei Ze, no matter how calculating, no matter how much he wants to seek the greatest benefits from it. In fact, Wei Ze didn't want to go to war head-on with the troops of the Eastern Palace. Not only the troops of the Eastern Palace, Wei Ze himself did not want to fight with any Taiping troops. Wei Ze is such an idea, not to mention the troops below.
But now the troops have to guard against the attack of the East Palace, and under the strong mental pressure, it is strange that they are not nervous. At this time, Wei Ze didn't dare to let the troops relax their vigilance, and the gang in Dongwangfu had nothing to fear. The scary thing is that there are still several guys with ghosts in Tianjing City now, and if they can't keep them, they will make something out of it.
In this tense situation, Wei Ze finally waited for Chen Chengying to come and ask for a meeting.
After a night's rest, Chen Chengying's complexion was much stronger than yesterday. After seeing Wei Ze, Chen Chengying first gave a salute, and then said: "Qi King Chitose, I have already discussed it with my colleagues in the Eastern Palace. You said that you want to leave Tianjing City in the entire Tianjing City, but we can't do it. So who knows that after you leave, we will not stop those who are willing to go with you. Whoever you want, we will give it to you. I don't know what you think? ”
Wei Ze also knew that he couldn't shout in the capital on this day, so he asked, "Then what are you going to do?" ”
Chen Chengying took out the plan of the East Palace, "Let's transport 500,000 taels of silver outside the city first, and you go outside the city to receive the silver." Besides, when you have taken the roster, send five hundred brothers into the city, and we will give you all your men." Whoever wants to go with you, we will not hinder you. What does King Chitose of Qi think? ”
"So I have to leave Tianjing City now?" Weeser gets to the heart of the matter.
Chen Chengying replied without backing: "King Chitose of Qi, since you promised to withdraw from Tianjing City, what does it matter if you are early or late?" With your cleverness, we won't talk nonsense. You are outside the city, and there are people on your list, how dare we not let them follow you? ”
Wei Ze thought about it, but he also felt that it made sense. As long as Wei Ze withdrew from Tianjing City, the main contradiction in Tianjing City immediately became the contradiction between the Eastern Wangfu and the Northern King. At this time, Dongwangfu held the idea that more things were better than less, and they didn't dare to stop Wei Ze's people. Thinking of this, Wei Ze replied: "Okay, you transport the money out of the city, and I will bring the troops to receive it!" ”
