Chapter 120: Jinling Tu Poor (12)
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom imposed a militarized administration of the city of Tianjing, and not only did it have a curfew, but the residents were assigned to various specialized departments according to their different skills. The house number is booked on the door, and it is written clearly how many people live there and the names of the occupants.
There is such a militarized management system, and yesterday those people in the Dongwang Mansion recaptured the Dongwang Mansion. The people in the palace were killed by Wei Changhui, but Wei Changhui did not burn the Dongwang Mansion, and the information about the population was intact. Chen Chengying, who was the prime minister of the Dongwang Mansion, took out these numbers, and Wei Ze also provided a prepared list. Both sides are in a hurry to complete this work, and the efficiency of cooperation is much faster than Wei Ze imagined!
"Chief of the General Staff, the city has kicked out all our people, and they are too lacking in morality. The people of Dongwangfu didn't let our people in the city carry anything, so they just got out of Tianjing City empty-handed! We don't have enough logistical equipment, what should we do? The chief of staff came back from outside and said angrily to Wei Ze
"What?" Weese was furious. Nanjing is south of the Yangtze River, and the climate is indeed much warmer than in the north. But now these nine cold days have driven thousands of people out of the city like this, and the camp of Wei Ze's troops was originally in the city, and they did not bring too much camping equipment. More than half of the thousands were women, and the rest were old and weak. Wei Ze will have to suffer in order to settle this group of people.
was in a rage, but someone from the Eastern Palace's mansion came to see Wei Ze outside. This time, it was not a big official like Chen Chengying, but a very ordinary clerk of the Dongwang Mansion. After the man came in, he reported to Wei Zeyu: "King Qi, we have sent you all the people on your roster. Some are not yet lifted up, and refuse to go out of the city. In order to satisfy you, King Qi, we will send all the people on the roster to you! β
"Humph!" Wei Ze sneered twice, and was about to say something unpleasant, but he heard the man continue: "King Qi, you have confessed, you want to send all the books of your father-in-law's family, we have spent a lot of effort, not only the books of Mr. Qi Yuchang's family, as long as it is a piece of paper, we will also send it to you!" β
"Haha! Ha ha! Wei Ze laughed angrily, "Then I thank you very much!" β
The people who worked in the Dongwang Mansion had seen Yang Xiuqing's imperial techniques, and they might as well be in the eyes of such a threat. Lai replied with an impeccable and calm attitude: "King Qi, I will go back to the East Palace, and when there is news, I will immediately come to inform King Qi." β
Wei Ze touched a soft nail, and opened his mouth in anger to say something hard, but after thinking about it, he snorted, "Then go and come back quickly!" β
Waiting for the envoy to leave, Wei Ze looked around angrily. Everyone in the staff department looked at Wei Ze at this time, and his posture was obviously waiting for Wei Ze to give an order to decide whether to use force against Tianjing City. What Wei Ze originally wanted to say could only be swallowed back into his stomach, and so far, Wei Ze has indeed created an advanced military system in China, and even in the world in this era. However, Wei Ze is a person in the 21st century, and he still understands the most basic political knowledge. The military cannot solve the problem of politics, and the military is a continuation of politics, not the other way around. Militarized management is a means of government, not the use of the army to manage.
Just as the current matter between Wei Ze and Tianjing City is a political issue, if Wei Ze uses military means to solve it, it will be tantamount to opening up another new problem, rather than solving the problem of appearance.
But Wei Ze had never met any decent political talents, and he got up in frustration and went to the back tent. Although he didn't marry a wife for a long time, Qi Hongyi, as Wei Ze's wife, could always listen to Wei Ze spit out his bitterness.
After hearing Wei Ze's depression, Qi Hongyi was stunned for a moment, and then said: "King Qi, why don't you directly lead the troops to the outside of the East King's Mansion after you seize the military power, and tell them that the North King is a rebel, and you lead the troops to rebel." Whoever doesn't go with you is an accomplice of the King of the North? β
"Huh?" Wei Ze was stunned. This idea was something he had never had, not that Wei Ze lacked imagination, and after making up his mind to break away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze's thinking never wanted to go in this direction. Before Yang Xiuqing's death, Wei Ze was still very suspicious that the final winner in the Tianjing Rebellion was Yang Xiuqing, so he didn't dare to find someone to really discuss all kinds of strategic thinking.
The solution proposed by Qi Hongyi is actually more proactive than many grassroots after Wei Ze. If Wei Ze had done this immediately, he would now be afraid that he would have a high chance of controlling the situation in Tianjing City. At least it won't let the people of the East Wangfu gather so smoothly. But Wei Ze always felt that this seemed to be a good situation, and the reason was something that made him feel very uncomfortable, after all, in the original plan, Wei Ze's goal was to pull his brothers out of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If you really take the route proposed by Qi Hongyi, it will become Wei Ze leading the Tianjing Incident. The so-called good shoes don't step on stinky shit, even now, Wei Ze still feels that he has no reason to get involved in this matter.
But things have come to such a point, and Wei Ze is also quite annoyed in his heart. He decided not to withdraw to Changzhou as originally planned, but to be stationed outside Tianjing City. In the end, what will become of the city in the end, Wei Ze also wants to see the ending. Or in the end, the situation will reach a point where it can't end at all, and then Wei Ze may really have a chance to completely take over the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Seeing that Wei Ze was silent, Qi Hongyi thought that what she said made Wei Ze very dissatisfied, she paused for a moment and changed the subject, "Zhang Jian still refuses to go out of the city?" β
"Zhang Yingchen......" Wei Ze also felt a little puzzled. According to the news he received, Zhang Yingchen was brutally rectified by Yang Xiuqing, beaten with 300 rods, and deprived of official and military rights. However, after that, Chen Chengying said that Zhang Yingchen was assigned a position to lead the troops. This time, Wei Ze's list also had Zhang Yingchen's name, but according to Dongwangfu, Zhang Yingchen was unwilling to go out of the city to follow Wei Ze. What happened in the middle, Wei Ze also felt very puzzled.
While he was thinking about it, someone from outside came in to report. "Chief of the General Staff, Wei Checkpoint and Ruan Checkpoint in Changzhou, each with a corps of troops are marching towards Tianjing City. They said that they would be able to reach the north of Tianjing City the day after tomorrow at the latest. β
This is really good news, although the staff in Zhang Yingchen's army did not have a reason to rebel against Wei Ze at this time, but after all, this army was out of Wei Ze's control for several months. A lot of things still didn't make Weser feel too comfortable. As long as Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao's troops could reach the north of Tianjing City, Wei Ze could let Zhang Yingchen's 10,000 troops escort the family members who came out of Tianjing City to Zhenjiang, leaving only 5,000 more reliable troops outside Tianjing City. In this way, while substantially dismantling Zhang Yingchen's troops, it will not make Zhang Yingchen's troops feel that they are suspected by Wei Ze. Wei Ze has a force of 15,000 people in his hands, and even if he encounters any sudden situation, he will not be at a military disadvantage.
The 15,000 troops lacking heavy artillery could not capture the Tianjing City guarded by the 30,000 or 40,000 defending troops, and similarly, the 30,000 or 40,000 troops in the Tianjing City who had been trained as the defenders of the city were not the opponents of the 15,000 field troops under Wei Ze in the field battle.
"Keep them in the throes of the army." Wei Ze ordered.
"So where do we go next?" The staff officer asked.
"When the troops are assembled, we will go to the area of Qixia Mountain and set up camp!" Weese replied.
The Eastern Palace's office was very nervous to pay attention to Wei Ze's dynamics, and when Wei Ze's receiving troops in the city completely withdrew from Tianjing City, the East Palace's palace was nervous enough. By the afternoon, the handover of thousands of people was finally completed. When Wei Ze withdrew his troops and began to retreat in the direction of Qixia Mountain, everyone in the Dongwang Mansion finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Chen Chengying said: "Everyone, it is not a good thing for King Qi to retreat to Qixia Mountain. Qixia Mountain is in the northeast of Tianjing City, very close to Zhenjiang. Zhenjiang to Tianjing is only more than a hundred miles, and the king of Qi has soldiers stationed in Zhenjiang, and he can get support when the time comes. β
"Isn't King Qi stationed in Zhenjiang a five-thousand-woman battalion?" Huang Weijiang asked. Wei Ze sent 5,000 female soldiers to garrison Zhenjiang, and this matter was once talked about in the Dongwang Mansion. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attaches great importance to women, but it also does not pay attention to Cheng DΓΉ, who allows female soldiers to guard a place alone. At that time, many people were saying that Wei Ze was afraid that the East King would lose his soldiers and horses again, so he let the female soldiers guard Zhenjiang. No matter how short of troops the king of the east is, he will not transfer these 5,000 female soldiers.
Chen Chengying said in an urgent tone of hatred that iron could not become steel: "King Qi's troops came from Changzhou, and it would take five days at most. It is already the second day, and now whoever can kill the king of the north and avenge the king of the east will be the orthodox kingdom of heaven. If we grind, I'm afraid that King Qi will take the lead! β
"Then please ask Zuo Tianhou to hurry up and ask for the will of the Heavenly King!" Huang Weijiang hurriedly said.
The people of the Eastern Wangfu were not just waiting for Wei Ze's news, they also discussed what to do next. In the end, everyone reached a consensus, first asked for the will of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, and announced that Wei Changhui committed suicide to the East King, which was a rebellion against the Heavenly Kingdom. He ordered the Eastern Palace's army to lead troops to kill Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang, two rebels.
After killing Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang, he asked the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to order to change the East Wangfu to the Military Division's Mansion. The military advisors of the Heavenly Kingdom are no longer divided by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, but are selected by the military division government itself. From then on, the Military Division's Office discussed the future with other forces of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Everyone may not fully believe in Chen Chengying, with Chen Chengying's status in the East Palace, he is also a strong candidate for the Zhengjun Division, at least whoever in the Dongwang Mansion can get Chen Chengying's support, and he can basically ensure the status of the Zhengjun Division. In order to get rid of their dependence on Chen Chengying, many of the generals in the Dongwang Mansion privately sent people to ask to see the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. And these people got the same reply without exception, "The king of heaven only saw Zuo Tianhou Chen Chengying!" β
finally solved Wei Ze's problem temporarily, and saw the possibility of getting the power assigned by the military division. At this time, everyone urged Chen Chengying to hurry up and see the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. Get things done as early as possible.
As for whether the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan really agreed to hand over the power of the division of the military division to the Eastern Palace, the generals of the Eastern Palace, did not have any doubts. When Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, was there, the king of heaven became a complete puppet. The scholars of the East Hall of the Eastern Palace, who took over the power of the Heavenly Kingdom. Although the East King is no longer there, in just a day or two, what has changed in the Heavenly King Hong Xiu?
Under the urging of the generals of the East King Mansion, Chen Chengying sat in a sedan chair and went straight to the Heavenly King Mansion before it got dark.
"It's finally getting started!" When leaving the Dongwang Mansion, Chen Chengying took a breath of the wet and cold winter air and said secretly in his heart.
