Chapter 15: Separation (6)

The night was dark, and on the city wall of Tianjing City, several officers who were not low in rank from the military uniform gathered together. A rope was tightly tied to the battlement, and a man dressed in the skin of an ordinary soldier was surrounded by these mid- and high-ranking officers. The officers said in an affectionate tone.

"Wing King, you must come back!"

"We're waiting for you, Wing King!"

Shi Dakai patted the shoulders of several officers seriously, and said in a firm tone: "I will come back!" Take care of yourself! Then he reached out and climbed up the dock and slipped down the rope.

After seeing the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and the Northern King Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai understood that he had guessed the wrong shape. Hong Xiuquan is still a bit scheming, and he has never publicly stated his final position and attitude until now. Wei Changhui was full of thought that he had killed Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and had killed nearly 20,000 Yang Xiuqing's "henchmen". The brothers of the heavenly kingdom did not bow down to Wei Changhui and sing loudly to Wei Changhui, that is the fault of these brothers.

When Yang Xiuqing was in power, Shi Dakai was relatively little suppressed, so he was still able to look at the situation relatively objectively. Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan doesn't care about anything, the people in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Tianjing City are of course Yang Xiuqing's cronies, and the people outside Tianjing City are also people arranged by Yang Xiuqing. No matter what kind of contradictions and conflicts these people have with Yang Xiuqing, they will not think that Wei Changhui's killing of Yang Xiuqing is a gratifying thing. Between Wei Changhui and Yang Xiuqing, they are undoubtedly inclined to Yang Xiuqing.

In such a situation, Wei Changhui indiscriminately killed his lower-class brothers. The families of these brothers are not all in Tianjing City, and many of their family members are fighting in other troops, and they are not in Tianjing City at this time. Just such a group of people outside can create a huge wave of opposition. These people probably also knew about Yang Xiuqing's desire to usurp the throne, and they might not dare to directly oppose Hong Xiuquan, the titular Heavenly King. But against Wei Changhui, that is what everyone expects.

Therefore, Shi Dakai quickly made a judgment that he needed to leave Tianjing City immediately and completely dissociate himself from Wei Changhui from now on.

How unreliable Wei Changhui's foundation is, it is extremely clear at this time. On the night when Shi Da drove into Tianjing City, he easily found the subordinates he had commanded before. When they learned that Shi Dakai was going to leave Tianjing City privately, they immediately supported it with practical actions.

These people didn't do it themselves, but introduced Shi Dakai to the other brothers on duty. The other brothers took Shi Dakai out of Tianjing City. This series of people linked, but they did not alarm the Northern King Wei Changhui in the slightest.

When he arrived at the city and let go of the rope in his hand, Shi Da secretly exclaimed in happiness. Wei Changhui was determined to become the commander of the Zuofu Army, if he really imprisoned Shi Dakai, Shi Dakai could only agree to sign in order to survive. Once he was forced to tie up with Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai's future was over.

The officers at the head of the city who were looking forward to Shi Dakai's return were actually not Shi Dakai's acquaintances, and they didn't even have familiar faces. Their actions were obviously in a hurry to get off the broken ship of Wei Changhui, the king of the north. Even Wei Changhui's subordinates have such an attitude, and other people's thoughts don't need to be considered at all.

When Shi Dakai escaped this time, he didn't dare to take all the guards with him, let alone the people in the Wing Palace. He just took one of his guards and started trying to run. At this time, the guards had already arrived under the city first, and when they saw that Shi Dakai had also gone down to the city, they immediately took Shi Dakai and rushed towards the direction of the camp.

With the conviction that the forces in Tianjing City had no chance, Shi Dakai rushed to the camp of his troops. Luo Xuan didn't expect Shi Dakai to rush to the camp at night, "Do you want to leave now?" Luo Xuan asked a little redundantly.

"Let's go now!" Shi Dakai's answer was categorical. It's not just the Northern King Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai is actually worried about the pursuit of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. Wei Changhui was already finished at this time, and outside the Tianjing City, no one was completely loyal to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. Shi Dakai fled, in the eyes of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, this is an attitude that is completely split from Hong Xiuquan. The possibility of being pursued by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan is not small.

In Luo Xuan's arrangement, he did not choose to take the waterway when he ran away at night, and the boats were guarded at this time, and he was afraid that he would be arrested before leaving. He and Shi Dakai led the troops to immediately leave the camp and march westward by 6 routes. Early the next morning, Shi Dakai's troops finally began to rest. At this time, there was no news that someone was chasing, and Shi Dakai finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about the road ahead, all sorts of thoughts rose in the heart of this talented and ambitious young man.

At the same time that Shi Dakai escaped from Tianjing City, a unit of Wei Ze arrived in Anqing. This is the starting point of Wei Ze's conquest of Anhui, and it is also the place where Wei Ze has invested a lot of effort.

It was Levi who led the team to Anqing, and the friendship with Wei Ze, especially after risking his life to meet the king Hong Xiuquan, Levi finally gained Wei Ze's trust. If it had been before, Levi would not have been able to take charge on his own anyway.

Of course, Wei Ze was determined to leave, and when he was in Tianjing City, Wei Ze managed to take away the relatives of the troops in Tianjing City. After meeting with the troops, these relatives were surprised and delighted, and they hugged their relatives tightly, crying like tearful people.

The largest number of soldiers in Wei Ze's army are from Anhui, and a considerable number of these people chose to follow Wei Ze in order to mix up the treatment of family members when Wei Ze implemented the grain and tax payment. As far as the current situation is concerned, the Taiping army cannot hold the Huainan area in central Anhui. Wei Ze will not come back for several years. In case the family members of Wei Ze's subordinates were slaughtered, Wei Ze also felt guilty of conscience. If you can bring the families of the troops to the south together, you will naturally be able to stabilize the morale of the army.

Of course, in addition to winning over military families, Levi's other task was to recruit civilian officials and civilians who were willing to go with Weser. Even now, Levi doesn't care at all whether he has completely made the split of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom public. Soon, new notices appeared on the streets of Anqing.

This is an essay by Wei Ze, which informs the intellectuals why the Manchus were Tatars and why Wei Ze was Chinese.

In the opening chapter, Wei Ze realistically informed the military and civilians in Anhui that Hong Xiuquan, who was fighting in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and aimed at establishing theocracy, had a falling out with Yang Xiuqing, who aimed to unify the world after the anti-Qing Dynasty. Hong Xiuquan killed Yang Xiuqing.

Then, Wei Ze explained that the purpose of Wei Ze's participation in the Taiping Army was to defeat the Manchu Qing and restore China. In such a situation, Wei Ze chose to break away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and continue the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty. Because the target is the reader, Wei Ze simply but unambiguously describes the process and the relationship, and the reader can naturally understand what the reader writes.

Why the Manchus were Tatars, Wei Ze engaged in politics, economy, culture, three aspects of analysis.

On the political zhì, the banner people have great privileges. The number of these people is very small, but the system gives them half of the official quotas. Wei Ze counted the Manchu civil and military officials he had killed and arrested along the way, as well as the Manchu civil and military officials who had fought against him until now and had not died, half of whom were banner men.

In addition to preaching his great martial arts very covertly, Wei Ze asked a question, can a regime that guards against the Han people all the time and suppress the Han people with banner people all the time? What reason does a non-Han regime have for the Han people to work for it?

After talking about politics, the next step is the economy. Wei Ze's evaluation of the landlords and gentry was actually lower than that of the Manchu government, so he did not write this part of the content himself, but asked a group of literati led by his father-in-law to write it, and Wei Ze picked some key points to organize it. Even so, the Manchu Qing Dynasty's various institutional plunder, exorbitant taxes, and so on are very interesting to write.

After talking about the economy, and finally about culture. Wei Ze's critique of Manchu culture is naturally extremely reliable, from the money rat tail, to the clothes, from the abuse of kneeling to the misinterpretation of the word adult.

This does not need to be made up by Wei Ze at all, and the nobility of the Han doctors boasted in the history books is in stark contrast to the slave culture of the Manchu Qing Dynasty. In the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, the lord and the scholar knelt together, and the prime minister and the emperor of the Tang Dynasty sat on the stool together, and now the slave culture is rampant.

In the end, Wei Ze called on the Chinese sons and daughters who want to be liberated to follow Wei Ze. Wei Ze not only wanted to overthrow a corrupt and degenerate Manchu Qing Dynasty, but also to establish a new China that was fresh and bright, with noble aspirations.

After the Anhui Daily was transferred to Luzhou, the local gentry in Anqing felt that the newspaper was very good, so they got Wei Ze's permission to create a weekly magazine called "Anqing News". The weekly magazine also immediately published Wei Ze's article. With this publication, which had a huge influence among intellectuals, Wei Ze's essay immediately spread throughout the Anqing area.

After learning that there was civil strife within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, many scholars faced the matter with great joy. But the news that Weezer was leaving made them feel complicated. Wei Ze's policy of paying taxes on grain undoubtedly greatly offended the landlord and gentry class, but at this time the Manchu culture had fallen into a stagnant pool of suffocating water. The rise of the Jingshi School was not the sudden appearance of one or a few people like Jiang Zhongyuan, but the fact that a large number of intellectuals also saw that social contradictions had intensified to the point of irreconcilability, and fierce social conflicts would inevitably explode.

Although Wei Ze's payment of taxes for the completion of grain greatly offended the landlords and gentry, it was very effective in alleviating social contradictions. At least when Weeser's government has revenue, it doesn't loot anymore. Not only are the poor living better, but even the rich feel that there is a lot less trouble. Many intellectuals who were not from large landlords had no vital interests, but they quite appreciated Wei Ze's administrative ability.

Knowing that Wei Ze was leaving, many people were naturally full of joy, and many people were quite disappointed or even panicked.

Soon, the southbound registration point set up by Levi ushered in the first group of people, most of them were literati who worked as temporary workers in the Weeser government, these people had a poor livelihood and had little local strength, and they completely relied on temporary workers to support their families. The Eastern King Yang Xiuqing died, and Wei Ze wanted to break away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they were even less optimistic about the future of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Since Wei Ze called on them to go south together, they were worried that the Manchus would liquidate them after retaking Anqing, so they simply defected to Wei Ze.

The school set up by Wei Ze was also officially closed at this time, and Wang Mingshan had just finished the third-grade homework in the fast class, and the Chinese language was naturally to learn "modern Chinese", mathematics, geography, nature, art, and physical education, and these courses opened Wang Mingshan's eyes. Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, decimals, fractions, basic geometry, and related volume and area algorithms all open up knowledge that cannot be learned in traditional culture in any way.

Wang Mingshan had actually made up his mind, and after graduation, he would simply go to Luzhou, where Wei Ze was located, to become an official official. Unexpectedly, Wei Ze was about to leave suddenly, and the school was closed immediately. After Wang Mingshan was anxious for a day, he decided that he wanted to follow Wei Ze.

Whether the Manchu Qing Dynasty is Yidi or not, whether Wei Ze is Huaxia or not, none of these matters to Wang Mingshan. The important thing is that Wang Mingshan's book has not been finished yet.

After confirming this, Wang Mingshan went to visit Shen Xin, a classmate from his private school days. Shen Xin had been working as a temporary worker in the Anqing government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After Wei Ze left, Qin Rigang was in power in Anqing, and he did not change any of Wei Ze's systems at all.

When I arrived at Shen Xin's house, I saw people going in and out of Shen Xin's house, and everyone was moving things outside, from furniture to pots and pans.

After seeing Shen Xin, Wang Mingshan hurriedly asked, "What's going on?" ”

"I've sold everything, and I'll take all the money and go to Wei Ze, the king of Qi!" Shen Xin replied neatly.

"When are you leaving?" Wang Mingshan continued to ask.

"I'll collect all the bills tomorrow and leave the day after tomorrow!" Shen Xin replied.

Wang Mingshan opened his mouth, but he didn't know what to say. Originally, he really wanted to go with Wei Ze, but in Wang Mingshan's feeling, this was something that could be discussed calmly. A few days early or a few days late is not a problem, but what I never expected was that Shen Xin would leave with his mother the day after tomorrow. This degree made Wang Mingshan a little at a loss.

"How can it be so fast?" Wang Mingshan finally said.

Shen Xin has been a temporary worker for two years, although he is only nineteen years old, he looks like an adult. Seeing that Wang Mingshan wanted to speak so much, Shen Xin couldn't help but smile, "Mingshan, if you really want to go with me and others, then you might as well make up your mind now, you don't need to ask for anything, go directly to the registration office to register, and there will be a group of people leaving tomorrow and the day after tomorrow." You're going to follow tomorrow's group. If you hesitate, I'm afraid you won't be able to go. As far as I know, King Qi's people won't stay in Anhui for too long this time, and when you understand, they will definitely be finished! ”

"Why?" Wang Mingshan asked in surprise. He wasn't really surprised why Weezer would leave immediately. However, before Wang Mingshan could speak, Shen Xin immediately saw that Wang Mingshan wanted to go together, which made Wang Mingshan surprised from the bottom of his heart.
