The letter written by Hong Tianfugui in Shi Da's open hand is an open letter and an "abdication announcement". Hong Tianfugui did not claim that as the current Heavenly King, he would lead the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to surrender to the Min Dynasty, nor did he brand Shi Dakai and others as traitors.

Hong Tianfu publicly informed these people in the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom that based on his views on the Min Dynasty and his judgment of the situation, Hong Tianfu gave up his position as the Heavenly King and defected to the side of the Min Dynasty. As for who the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would elect again, Hong Tianfu only suggested that his younger brothers should not be dragged into this troubled water. Adults can do whatever they like.

If this was a document asking the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to surrender, Shi Dakaida could publish this, and then claim that the Guangfu Army had robbed Hong Tianfugui through Zhang Yingchen, an inner line that had been ambushed for a long time. Now it's just a peaceful and grim abdication edict, and it's a bad thing.

In fact, the kings have long been extremely dissatisfied with the little doll of the Hong family sitting on the country, and many people think that the winged king Shi Dakai should sit on this country. As soon as Hong Tianfugui's abdication edict came out, it gave these people hope. However, this hope was based on the recognition of the abdication edict by these people. To admit this abdication edict, you have to admit that Hong Tianfugui went to the side of the Guangfu Army according to his own will, and the Guangfu Army did not abduct Hong Tianfugui and other means.

The other kings also read the letter, and they were silent. In fact, with the situation of Hong Tianfugui, the "former king", many people doubt that this edict is really Hong Tianfugui's writing and sincerity. Everyone has seen what kind of opportunity this is. The upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can really shuffle the cards!

"Smack!" Shi Da slapped the table, "This letter must be fake, it's all nonsense!" ”

No one echoed Shi Dakai's statement, and the situation at this time had reached the point where they had no time to play self-deception tricks. The pursuers of Hong Tianfu encountered the troops of the Guangfu Army on the road, and this force had already crossed the "border line" between the two sides and moved in the direction of Tongguan. Taking advantage of the enemy's confusion is a common choice in military affairs. Now, if the important ministers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really use some nonsense to perfunctory each other, it will only delay their own time.

After a long period of silence, Yang Fuqing cheered up and said with great perseverance: "I think let the Wing King be the Heavenly King!" ”

He thought that this would cause a big sensation after he said this, but after looking around, the kings and important ministers were silent. Everyone is a prince, even if the status of the Wing King is more noble than everyone, but this is still a relative status. If the Winged King Shi Dakai is made the emperor, then he will have the power to kill and kill the generals. This change is not as simple as putting the Winged King in charge. This is to put all his net worth and life in the hands of the Wing King Shi Dakai. Except for the kings and important ministers who had clearly stood on Shi Dakai's side, no one was willing to make such a decision easily.

Lin Fengxiang no longer had any thoughts about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at this time, Wei Ze had already sent someone to visit him, and the messenger told Lin Fengxiang that Wei Ze would not make a wish to these people in the upper class, but he would definitely let the lower brothers in the Heavenly Kingdom live a normal life. Those who are willing to return to their hometowns will return to their hometowns, and those who are willing to stay in the northwest will stay in the northwest. Lin Fengxiang did not tell the envoy that he would cooperate with Wei Ze's actions. But he knew very well in his heart that Weezer would definitely send troops to attack. So Lin Fengxiang didn't care about Shi Dakai's faction's jumping up and down.

Yang Fuqing was worried that Lin Fengxiang would take the lead in opposing it, and he even prepared some ways to refute Lin Fengxiang's words. But Lin Fengxiang didn't say anything at all, which made Yang Fuqing extremely surprised. Could it be that at this critical juncture, Lin Fengxiang couldn't admit it?

Silence, silence, silence, silence, silence in the venue. was so silent that Yang Fuqing felt a little creepy. Not only did Lin Fengxiang not speak, but others also did not say anything. It was as if Yang Fuqing hadn't said anything. This silence made Yang Fuqing understand that at this point, the princes outside Shi Dakai's faction had no intention of supporting Shi Dakai.

The Liberation Army was looking forward to such a situation, and when the Military Commission discussed, everyone's opinion was basically to use Hong Tianfu to force the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to surrender. Wei Ze's suggestion was to divide the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. "The northwest is too big, what difference is there between forcing them to surrender and us taking them down everywhere. If you really want to solve the problem at the lowest cost, it is better to let those who want to go go and those who want to stay stay. ”

Swallowing the Northwest in its entirety will be a costly war, and the Ministry of Finance is already wailing at this time, and now it is really running out of money financially. Large-scale infrastructure construction is a gold-swallowing beast, and large-scale education is also costly. In another large-scale Northwest War, it is not uncommon for the Ministry of Finance to rush to the Military Commission and the Military Commission to die together.

At this time, the Henan Military Region had already sent troops to Tongguan, the Sichuan Military Region attacked Hanzhong, and the Shanxi Military Region also marched westward. The first target of the three military regions was Chang'an, the capital of the current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After being silent for a long time, Lin Fengxiang finally said, "Let's talk about this matter in two days." This was approved by the kings, and they dispersed. The basic issues cannot be discussed, and all other discussions have no basis.

There was no need to say anything, and each faction automatically went to their respective leaders to have a small meeting. Lin Fengxiang and his family gathered at King Zhang's Mansion, and everyone waited for Lin Fengxiang to give his judgment on the future. Lin Fengxiang didn't let everyone wait, he said bluntly: "I won't leave Tianjing City." Brothers can do what they want. ”

"What should I do if the Liberation Army calls?" Chen Yucheng raised this rather boring question.

"Call me, I'll talk to the Liberation Army." Lin Fengxiang also gave a rather boring answer.

The kings were silent, and now the key was to go or surrender. Chen Yucheng, as the first tactician of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, couldn't help but continue to ask: "If we stick to Hanzhong and Tongguan......

Lin Fengxiang replied: "Then how long can you keep it?" We won't talk about the escape of the Heavenly King, and the Liberation Army will also talk about it. How many of your brothers do you think will really be willing to fight? ”

The princes of Lin Fengxiang and his family are silent, this is the biggest problem at the moment, and in such a situation, the decisive battle with Chang'an as the center and the Guangfu Army is a sure defeat.

Looking at Chen Yucheng, who wanted to stop talking, Lin Fengxiang continued: "If any of you want to take the troops away, you can also go to find the Wing King, he is estimated to be very well prepared." ”

The intelligence department of the Liberation Army was in full swing at this time, and the Heavenly King Hong Tianfugui ran to the Liberation Army, and announced that the abdication had spread in the lower levels. Of course, there will be people from the Taiping Army who will scold the Guangfu Army for kidnapping the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Heavenly King Hong Tianfugui, which is not authentic. However, the reaction of many more people to this was not so indignant. The Liberation Army can even get rid of the Heavenly King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so who else can't get the Liberation Army?

The Taiping Army's will to fight was not only not aroused by the "misdeeds" of the Liberation Army, but fell to a new low because of the major defeat of the Taiping Army. The Tongguan guard was a subordinate of Ji Wenyuan, who was rescued from Hebei by Wei Ze more than ten years ago. The Guangfu army fought outside Tongguan, and the two sides discussed privately for two days, and the defender simply surrendered with his unmotivated subordinates.

Tongguan is the gateway to Guanzhong, and as soon as Tongguan is broken, Guanzhong will be immediately exposed in front of the Guangfu Army. Shi Dakai actually knew that Chang'an could not hold it, and Yang Fuqing publicly asked to choose Shi Dakai as the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. And Shi Dakai didn't talk nonsense with the kings at this time, but led his faction to prepare for the west.

Chang'an City is dominated by Lin Fengxiang's line and Zhang Yingchen's Imperial Forest Army, Shi Dakai because of previous problems, his descendants are mostly in Gansu and Ningxia. Shi Dakai walked briskly when it was time to leave, and after giving an order, he walked away with the troops and his family. His faction was also gone.

Before leaving, Shi Dakai asked Lin Fengxiang for the jade seal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was a symbol of the supreme power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After Hong Xiuquan's death, Hong Tianfugui was gradually deprived of the power to use the seal, and the power to keep the jade seal was controlled by Lin Fengxiang and Shi Dakai.

Looking at Shi Dakai's indifferent gaze, Lin Fengxiang couldn't help but ask, "Wing King, have you already made up your mind?" ”

Shi Dakai replied coldly: "Life and death are fate, King Zhang doesn't want his brothers to kill more, I don't think there's anything wrong with King Zhang at all." It's just that what I want is different from King Zhang, even if we see each other on the battlefield in the future, everyone will be fine for themselves. ”

Lin Fengxiang smiled bitterly, "I just want to go home and farm, and I think I will never meet the Wing King on the battlefield." ”

As he spoke, the guards of the two had already unlocked the lock with the keys of the two of them and took out the box where the jade seal was placed. Lin Fengxiang took the box first, opened it under the vigilant gaze of Shi Dakai's men, and then handed the box to Shi Dakai. Shi Dakai took out the jade seal and looked at it, and sure enough, it was the jade seal he was familiar with, and it was not dropped.

Let the subordinates stamp and verify the seal. Shi Dakai turned around and asked Lin Fengxiang, "King Qi won't be unfavorable to the Hong family, right?" ”

"I don't think so." Lin Fengxiang replied, "Besides, what's the use of the Wing King bringing the Hong family?" ”

The handover of the jade seal was also a small ceremony, officially representing the complete end of Hong Xiu's family's control of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The two no longer mentioned the statement of the king of heaven, and the title of Hong Xiu's family became "Hong family".

Shi Dakai also wanted to take a Hong Xiuquan son away, and he also had a basis in case something went wrong. But he could also see Lin Fengxiang's resolute opposition, and after Zhang Yingchen ran away, the Imperial Forest Army immediately switched to Lin Fengxiang's side. Shi Dakai must rob people, but I'm afraid it's also very difficult to get hands. For Lin Fengxiang, who doesn't like to talk too much, Shi Dakai once again realized how powerful he is. This made Shi Dakai wonder what role Lin Fengxiang played in Zhang Yingchen's escape with Hong Tianfugui.

When he was thinking about whether to ask, Shi Dakai's subordinates reported: "Wing King, the jade seal is real." ”

As soon as these words came out, it meant that Shi Dakai officially took over the authority of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Shi Dakai's personality has no reluctance to give up on the things decided, and he doesn't want to say anything more, but just arches his hand to Lin Fengxiang, "King Zhang, don't leave it at that!" ”

"Wing King, take care all the way!" Lin Fengxiang also replied flatly.
