Wei Ze stayed in Youxian for two days, and in these two days, he sincerely asked Xiao Chaogui for advice on how to be a man. Don't look at Xiao Chaogui, who has never seen a computer, and who doesn't understand calculus, but it really opened Wei Ze's eyes in terms of being a person. He is like a litmus test that can directly test the core points of people's minds.

The two most important missionaries in the early Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were Feng Yunshan, the king of the South, and Xiao Chaogui. Xiao Chaogui undoubtedly has a strong political sensitivity. Zhang Zhao, the "big-headed demon" who had defected to the Taiping Army and later defected to the Manchu Dynasty, had a notice long before he betrayed the Taiping Army, pointing out that Zhang Zhao was actually the essence of accumulating wealth under the pretense of preaching, and had a-for-tat struggle with Zhang Zhao. Although Zhang Zhao claimed that he betrayed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom because he was forced, if such opportunistic and rebellious guys really became generals in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it would be an unforeseen disaster.

Wei Ze followed Xiao Chaogui to run military affairs in Youxian, and what he saw was that Xiao Chaogui could always point out the key to the problem in a few words. He can always be on the front line in doing things, and these two skills make Xiao Chaogui's subordinates very respectful. Wei Ze also respects Xiao Chaogui very much. In terms of doing things, Xiao Chaogui is too much stronger than Hong Xiuquan.

When he is a little free, Xiao Chaogui will also talk to Wei Ze. After all, he is a person of the 21st century, and Wei Ze is definitely not a good man and a woman. Coupled with his youth, Xiao Chaogui couldn't really see through Wei Ze at all. Wei Ze, on the other hand, was able to see through a lot of things, and he had already determined his place in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At least I know what the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom think of Wei Ze.

Whether it was Xiao Chaogui or Yang Xiuqing, these two leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with deep insight shared a common view of Wei Ze. In the Taiping army, most people were rather passive towards the Manchus. The reason why they are now fighting to the death with the Manchus is because if they don't fight to the death with the Manchus, they will have to be killed by the Manchus. And Wei Ze is even if he dies, the Manchu Qing will fight to the death. There are really only a handful of people in the Taiping army who have this attitude. Xiao Chaogui was quite appreciative of Wei Ze's point, which was why he was willing to point out Wei Ze.

Xiao Chaogui had only one worry about Wei Ze, that is, he was afraid that Wei Ze would act "childishly" and only do what he liked, which would destroy the unity of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The so-called adults are not comfortable, and they are not adults. It refers to a person's self-positioning in the organization, if he can't obey the overall situation, if he can't go against his personal likes and dislikes to do something that is beneficial to the whole organization, that is, the greater the ability, the greater the danger.

Because of a misunderstanding of Wei Ze's dislike for the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, Xiao Chaogui thought that Wei Ze was just young and vigorous and didn't like Hong Xiuquan's words and deeds. For Xiao Chaogui, who dared to play the trick of "Heavenly Brother Possession", he did not believe in heaven and hell at all, let alone God and Jesus. Regarding Wei Ze, a rising star in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom system, Xiao Chaogui hopes that Wei Ze can understand that even if Hong Xiuquan does many things inauthentically, the current system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot be opposed. If the Taiping army could not rally around the worship of God, it would lead to a complete rupture within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After figuring out Xiao Chaogui's thoughts, Wei Ze certainly has the ability to make Xiao Chaogui believe that Wei Ze will never destroy the authority of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan again, and will do his best to maintain the authority and image of the Heavenly King. Ensure the final victory of the rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

For those in the 21st century who are mixed in the system, these are just the most basic skills. Xiao Chaogui thought that Wei Ze was determined to destroy the Manchus, and then he could understand that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the common cause of all members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he would obediently obey the status quo of this system. If Wei Ze is not a person from the 21st century, perhaps Xiao Chaogui's expectations can become a reality. But Wei Ze is a person in the 21st century after all, Hong Xiuquan's set of God worship religion doesn't even believe in "Heavenly Brother" Xiao Chaogui, how can Wei Ze believe it? Wei Ze is even less likely to have the idea of defending Hong Xiuquan.

After talking with Xiao Chaogui, Wei Ze determined two things, the first of which was naturally to determine Wei Ze's own status in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. As the general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, whether it was Xiao Chaogui or Yang Xiuqing, King Duxi was able to use the power of Wei Ze to complete the great cause of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to overthrow the Manchu Dynasty. As long as Wei Ze himself did not endanger the safety and survival of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze was a general who both supported and trusted.

The second thing is Weesel's thoughts based on his perception of his own status. Wei Ze has already decided that after the Taiping Army has reached a certain level, he must get rid of Hong Xiuquan. Without Hong Xiuquan, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement would have been able to rise to a higher level. That's what Weeser wants.

Since Xiao Chaogui and Yang Xiuqing had to take advantage of Hong Xiuquan's worship of God because of the current situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, then when the situation no longer needed to worship God, Wei Ze believed that the two of them would also choose to abandon Hong Xiuquan. All Weeser has to do is fight hard and push the situation to that stage as soon as possible.

In the past two days, Wei Ze certainly couldn't pull Xiao Chaogui, who was busy with military affairs, to talk about the ideological top-level issue. He mainly assists in military affairs and runs his own affairs along the way. Xiao Chaogui was quite appreciative of Wei Ze's decision to build his own weapons, especially Wei Ze's preparation to cast cannons, which was even more appreciated by Xiao Chaogui. The Taiping army was able to capture a lot of things, but the Taiping army could not make their own weapons. Wei Ze's efforts are tantamount to figuring out how to make their own weapons for the Taiping Army, and once successful, it will be too helpful.

When Wei Ze stayed in Youxian until the second day, he finally waited for the treasurer of the Lianfeng, Wang Dazhu. Listening to the nickname, Wei Ze felt that Wang Dazhui was a strong man with a big waist and a round waist, and when he saw the real person, Wei Ze realized that Wang Dazhui was a young man in his twenties who was not tall.

Wang Dazhui's real name is Wang Qixiu, because he is engaged in such a hard work as a blacksmith, his muscles are quite strong. It's not the kind of muscular man who is knotted, but because he doesn't have any fat, his body still looks a little thin. Hearing that Wei Ze was looking for him to cast a cannon, Wang Qixiu's face immediately had a look of surprise, and he hurriedly asked, "Does Master Wei really want to cast a cannon?" ”

After talking to Wang Qixiu for a while, Wei Zexian is an "engineering man" in the Qing Dynasty. As soon as I heard that I could participate in the field of cannon casting that had not yet been involved, I immediately felt a hundred times more energetic. In addition to enthusiasm, Wang Qixiu is quite cautious in technology. He said, "Master Wei, I have a cousin of the same sect, and he is also my senior brother. His name is Wang Qinian. I used to follow my master to cast cannons for the government. At that time, he was still young, so he could only fight, but he had forged cannons with my master, so it would have been easy to invite him to come! ”

Wei Ze couldn't help but ask, "May I ask how is the Venerable Master now?" ”

Wang Qixiu's face was a little gloomy and he replied: "My master has passed away, in fact, my nickname of Wang Dazhui was originally my master's nickname." After my master passed away, this was the love of the villagers, and they just called me that. Compared to craftsmanship, I am far worse than Master. It's also better than many of my senior brothers. ”

"But I don't know where your senior brother is?" Since he had met an experienced craftsman, Wei Ze certainly refused to let it go.

"My senior brother went to Guiyang Prefecture City to open a Lianfeng number, and Master Wei wants to find him ......, this is not easy." Wang Qixiu also knows something outside.

Wei Ze himself came out of Guiyang Prefecture City, how could he not know the situation there. The Qing army recaptured the state city after the Taiping army left Guiyang, and it was very difficult to bring the blacksmith out of the city at this time. Although it is a pity, it can only be stopped.

The two sides negotiated the salary, and Wang Qixiu proposed that he hoped to cast cannons in Youxian, after all, the guys he struck iron were all in Youxian. Wei Ze couldn't accept this, and he proposed to bring all the guys who could be used to Yongxing. After all, the troops are to be stationed in Yongxing, and it is too dangerous to put important casting in Youxian.

Wei Zejian said: "Brother Wang, once we finish casting the cannon, we will send your things back to Youxian." Besides, you can go to the countryside and cast iron bells for people, and they don't have as much to offer as Yongxing! As for the damaged things in the handling, we will give you a deposit first, and we can compensate you according to the price after the work is completed. ”

Wang Qixiu has never seen such a kind "big official", and Wei Ze's construction is also quite good. He also designated the guy to bring, and more than 200 people carried a large number of equipment to Yongxing County. Wei Ze said goodbye to Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, "King of the west, my subordinates wish you success!" ”

Xiao Chaogui said with a smile: "Brother Wei, if you can't defeat Changsha, I have to ask you to come with your newly cast cannon to help!" Do a good job and don't let me down. ”

After the two broke up, Wei Ze rushed back to Yongxing. When I first arrived in Yongxing, I learned that the Qing army had tried to attack Yongxing.

Yongxing and Chenzhou are considered to be corners, but Yongxing County was chosen instead of Guiyang Prefecture to do this horn, firstly, Yongxing is in the north of Chenzhou, so it is closer to the north to raid Changsha Xiao Chaogui's department.

At this time, the Qing army divided its troops, and the army led by the Chuntong army was in the west of the Chenzhou and Yongxing line, and Chang Lu led more than 3,000 Qing troops to the east of the Chenzhou and Yongxing line. Holding the line between Chenzhou and Yongxing can effectively isolate the troops of the Qing army. At the same time, to the north of Yongxing was the large city of Hengyang, Hunan, where the Qing army was stationed under the leadership of Cheng Xucai, the governor of Huguang, who was ordered to besiege the Taiping army. When Xiao Chaogui raided Changsha, if Cheng Chucai led the Qing army to Changsha to help in the battle, Wei Ze would immediately lead his troops to Hengyang. Hengyang is very close to Changsha and is a wealthy Hunan city. If the Taiping army can capture Hengyang and support Xiao Chaogui to attack Changsha nearby, it will be more advantageous than entrenched in the front line between Chenzhou and Yongxing.

Regarding the Qing army's threat to Yongxing, Wei Ze only ordered the troops to strengthen the defense, and at the same time ordered the reconnaissance troops to grasp the movements of the Qing army as much as possible. If there is an opportunity, a war of annihilation will be carried out against the Qing army. He himself went into production with a temporarily expanded technical department. Weeser drew up a plan to solve the production of equipment at this stage in three areas: "weapons, medical care, education".
