Chapter 3: Tenkyo Dagger (3)

After Wei Ze sent Chen Degui away the night before, he slept well at night because he felt at ease. When he woke up the next day, he came out of the tent refreshed. Outside the tent was a sunny day, and the sun had risen in a clear sky. In such good weather, Wesser's mood was even happier.

Seeing Wei Ze come out, a communications staff officer immediately came to report, "Chief of General Staff, the vanguard from Changzhou is still fifteen miles away from Qixia Mountain. ”

This news made Wei Ze feel that a big piece of his heart had fallen into his stomach, and according to the marching degree of the troops, it could be completed in an hour of fifteen miles. With the command ability of Wei Changrong and Nguyen Hee Ho, and the operational ability of the general staff of the unit, the possibility of the troops getting lost in these last 15 miles can be ruled out.

Sure enough, Wei Ze washed his face and went to the camp for a temporary round, and then got the news of the arrival of the leading cavalry unit. When he returned to the big tent, he saw that there were many more war horses on the field where the military horses were located, and as soon as he entered the door of the big tent, Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao, who were waiting inside, immediately saluted Wei Ze.

After Wei Ze saluted them with a raised hand salute, he said calmly: "In the future, all our troops will adopt a raised hand salute, and in our troops, the etiquette system of the Taiping Army will be abolished." ”

Listening to Wei Ze's order, Wei Changrong's face was full of joy, and he replied loudly: "King Qi! Oh, Chief of the General Staff, we got it! ”

Ruan Xihao may be regarded as Wei Ze's second die-hard, he joined Wei Ze's troops in the Wuzhou area, and has been following Wei Ze ever since. Hearing the news, he said with some surprise: "Chief of General Staff, is the East King really finished?" ”

Wei Ze nodded, "The Heavenly King colluded with the Northern King Wei Changhui and the Yan King Qin Rigang, as well as the Winged King Shi Dakai, to jointly murder the Eastern King. This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has reached such a point that we can't stay any longer. My meaning is very clear, after I return to Changzhou this time, the Kingdom of Heaven will take his Yangguan Road, and I will take my single-plank bridge. In the future, everyone's well water will not interfere with river water, and there will be nothing to do with it! ”

This is the first time that Wei Ze has explained his views so bluntly, and the refreshment in his heart is really indescribable. Wei Changrong said: "Chief of General Staff, the Heavenly King is acting so recklessly, those people in the East Wangfu are still willing to listen to him?" Someone should have risen up and killed him to avenge the king of the east, right? ”

Wei Ze sighed, "Alas! Those people in the East Palace! They felt that it was Wei Changhui, the king of the north, who entered Tianjing City and killed the king of the east, which was his own opinion. I don't even know what they are thinking, without the Heavenly King uniting the kings, why did Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, listen to the orders of Wei Changhui, the king of the north? The Northern King Wei Changhui was tossed into such a miserable situation by the Eastern King, who would dare to put his life on the Northern King Wei Changhui? ”

"How many people did Wei Changhui, the king of the north, bring into Beijing?" Ruan Xihao asked.

Wei Ze smiled bitterly: "As far as I know now, the more reliable number is about three thousand. ”

This number made Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao dumbfounded, and after a while, Wei Changrong stared at his eyes and asked, "Do those people in the Dongwang Mansion still think that Wei Changhui is making his own opinion?" Did they drink ** soup? ”

The general staff is indeed far from the staff that commands the most advanced military forces in the 21st century in Wei Ze's heart, but these brothers have received formal military education, and they are not bad in terms of common sense. Even if Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao belong to the bystanders, the fact that outsiders may be able to figure it out in a few words is too simple, but the people of Dongwangfu who are in the bureau have to bite the and slip away.

Wei Ze didn't bother to talk about this unpleasant topic, he said to Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao: "I have talked to them several times, I think they can always figure it out." ”

Wei Changrong nodded, but Ruan Xihao shook his head in disagreement, "Chief of General Staff, when you taught us exercise techniques, you repeatedly said that we should use the strength of our abdominal muscles and not let the waist be stressed. You tell us which parts of the lumbar spine are prone to injury. At that time, I admired the marksmanship of the chief of the General Staff, but I really convinced you. But no matter what you say, I don't understand what it means to use abdominal muscle force and what it means to use waist force. Later, I practiced so hard that I really hurt my waist, and it hurt so much when I moved, and I knew why you wanted us to do that. It's not just me, it's many brothers who have had this experience. If you haven't suffered yourself, you don't know! Dongwangfu hasn't suffered much, I don't think they will listen to you. ”

Wei Changrong also suffered a lot when he practiced martial arts, and he nodded again and again when he heard this.

Wei Ze's face changed slightly, "I said let's not make this joke!" After you have a back injury, you can ask for leave from the training department, and the training department will also give you targeted physiotherapy. At the same time, the training is more scientific. But if the East Wangfu really suffers, then it is not the flesh and skin that suffers, it is going to kill people! ”

"Killed?" Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao's faces changed at the same time. Both of them have participated in the bloody vendetta of Turks in Guangxi, and of course they know what it means to kill someone. They themselves took people's lives in that cruel vendetta.

"Hey! Fourth uncle! What do you mean? Wei Changrong knew that Wei Ze was not a person who liked to play tricks, and when he heard that things were already very wrong, he changed his name in a hurry.

Wei Ze's face was clouded, "What do I mean?" I originally thought that although those people in Dongwangfu followed Dongwang to bully others, they might not be good people. However, since everyone is under the orders of the East King, I still remind them several times. I always feel that as long as they don't make stupid mistakes and don't really believe in the Heavenly King, with the current strength of the Eastern Palace, self-protection can always be done. But as Ruan Xihao said, the people of Dongwangfu don't listen to me at all, and they will still blindly follow their previous habits. They didn't believe that the King of Heaven wanted to kill them, but how could the King of Heaven let them go, the King of Heaven took the lead in setting up an ambush, and if they had any intention or not, these people would be terrible! ”

Wei Ze told his two henchmen this very dangerous judgment, but not only did he not relax, but he became even more nervous. Thinking that if the people of the East Prince's Mansion didn't take Wei Ze's words to heart at all, Wei Ze's heart beat rapidly. If this killing is done together, Tianjing City will immediately turn into a sea of blood.

Wei Changrong was obviously not as excited as Wei Ze, he scratched his head, "Uh......, Fourth Uncle, the Heavenly King is only going to kill the East King." The king of the east has bullied other people for so long, especially the king of the north who has been bullied like that, killed the king of the east, punished the king of the north, and knocked the people who beat the palace of the king of the east, isn't this matter over. You say this, just like the Heavenly King wants to kill the people of the Guangdong Palace. ”

Ruan Xihao still obviously stood against Wei Ze this time, "Chief of General Staff, you have killed all the Dongwang Mansion, what is left in the capital today?" As far as the information we have in Tianjing City, without the Dongwang Mansion, there are not even decent officials in Tianjing City. At that time, Tianjing City was empty, so it was better for us to have a random city in Anhui. No matter how much trouble the king makes, he won't make it to this point. This is not a matter of clearing the East Palace, this is suicide! ”

"Yes! Oh, yes! Wei Changrong immediately chimed in, "Anyway, the Kingdom of Heaven is also the Kingdom of Heaven of the Heavenly King, so he can't bring the Kingdom of Heaven to this point, right?" Such a simple truth, it is impossible for the king of heaven not to understand! ”

Wei Zeke was not moved by the reason of the two in the slightest, not only was he not moved by the reasonable words of the two, Wei Ze felt that his heart fell down in a straight line. What these two subordinates said was obviously true, and what these two subordinates said was still very reasonable. Wei Ze was also completely sure of one thing, the people of the Eastern Prince's Mansion would not believe Wei Ze's warning anyway. Because they can easily think of the truth that Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao thought of. After clearing the Dongwang Mansion, there was nothing left in Tianjing City. What can the Heavenly King do in this Tianjing City, where there is nothing left? Hanging yourself is nothing more than that.

These people can figure out the simple truths, and maybe they can also figure out some more complex truths. But none of them have figured out the simpler and more fundamental truth. If the Northern King Wei Changhui can't kill all the people in the East Palace, let the North King Wei Changhui become the truth of the Kingdom of Heaven, and let the killed Yang Xiuqing and the people of the East Mansion become the rebels of the Kingdom of Heaven, then Wei Changhui can only die obediently.

If Wei Changhui originally just wanted to kill Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, then after killing Yang Xiuqing, he could have escaped from the city again, or simply cut himself off. Up to now, in the news that Wei Ze has gotten, Wei Changhui has no sign of fleeing for his life at all, but has issued various extremely tempting orders from the Heavenly King's Mansion to the East Wangfu again and again. Behind these orders lies a bottomless trap.

As for Hong Xiuquan, Wei Ze had no illusions about him as early as when he was in Yong'an City, Guangxi. It's just that in order to put on the robes of the guards guarding his group of wives, Hong Xiuquan can make the combat troops hand over the robes and hats, and drench them in the heavy winter rain. Wei Ze himself couldn't do such a thing at all, and it was really time for war. If the front-line troops are not equipped enough, Wei Ze will only take out his own wife's coat and give it to the front-line troops.

For a person like Hong Xiuquan, making a choice between holding real power and continuing to be a puppet, Wei Ze really can't see any reason for Hong Xiuquan not to let Tianjing City turn into a sea of blood!

Thinking of this, Wei Ze didn't persuade anything anymore, at this time he knew that no matter how much he persuaded him, it was useless. Wei Ze sat down on the stool opposite Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao in a gloomy manner, and then told the story in a low tone.

Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao were stunned, and in just a moment, Wei Ze's voice sounded extremely dry, and even changed a little like a person. But the two quickly turned their attention to what Weeser had said.

"The owner took the hounds to hunt and never caught the rabbits. So the master scolded the hound angrily and said, "If you don't worry about eating or drinking, how can you not run away from the hungry rabbits in the field every time?" The hound replied aggrievedly, I ran for my mouth, but the rabbit ran for my life! ”

After telling the story, Wei Ze stood up a little staggered and asked, "How many cavalry do you bring with you now?" ”

Although he didn't understand the meaning of Wei Ze's story, Wei Changrong still knew his troops well, and he replied, "Three hundred! ”

"How many cavalry can come up from behind?" Weeser remembered that there were more cavalry units under his command than that.

"Eight hundred cavalry in total." Wei Changrong replied.

"Then divide the eight hundred cavalry into two teams, one team and two brigades of infantry slowly approaching Tianjing City. Keep a close eye on me. The other team is ready to support at any time. After saying that, Wei Ze walked out of the big tent with his head down. threw Wei Changrong and Ruan Xihao, who were full of puzzlement, in the big tent.

Stopping outside the big tent, Wei Ze looked in the direction of Tianjing City, under the blue sky, the sun that had risen was warmly basking in the sun, no matter how you look at it, it was a beautiful sunny day. However, in Wei Ze's eyes, it seemed that he was shrouded in a layer of darkness, and the good mood after getting up this morning completely flew out of the clouds, and Wei Ze only felt that his chest was as heavy as a lead block, so heavy that he could barely breathe.

The same beautiful sky has different colors depending on the viewing angle. The gate of the Tianwang Mansion in Tianjing City was opened, and the important ministers of the East Wangfu got off the sedan chair one after another and entered the Tianwang Mansion under the guidance of the female officials. As soon as they entered, the gate of the Heavenly King's Mansion was closed. This did not cause everyone to be nervous. Not to mention the Tianwang Mansion, which has basically not been opened, even the gate of the East Wangfu does not mean that it will be opened when it is opened.

The female officers led the people for a long time and led them into a rather large courtyard. There are many flagpoles on the edge of the courtyard, on which are hung yellow brocade. Under this clear sky, the brocade reflects a soft bright yellow luster, which is really a feeling of golden brilliance.

The female officers arranged for everyone to take their positions, and then stepped back. Zuo Tianhou Chen Chengying followed the female official to receive the order. A group of high-ranking officials of the Eastern Palace, with their real cronies, were waiting in the courtyard. Thinking of the reward they were about to get, and the internal struggle they would face after leaving the Heavenly King's Mansion, everyone was very nervous. At this time, no one wants to say anything.

Soon, a very gorgeously dressed female official appeared at the door leading to the courtyard from the inner house. The female official shouted in a crisp voice: "The king of heaven has a decree, and everyone in the East Wangfu will receive the decree!" ”

Everyone in the East Wangfu knelt down one after another, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not kowtow, but only knelt for a long time. Everyone knelt straight one by one, waiting with bated breath for the king's will. The female officer did not speak immediately, she first turned around and knelt down to the position of the inner house, muttering something in her mouth. The people could not hear clearly, and they did not dare to ask. I can only kneel honestly. Although the weather was fine, he knelt straight on the bluestone slab in the courtyard, and it didn't take long for everyone to feel uncomfortable in their knees.

No one dares to complain, and this is the etiquette of seeing the king of heaven. When the capital of Tianjing City was first settled, everyone had the experience of kneeling for half an hour to listen to the king babbling and saying a bunch of. In terms of etiquette, everyone should look very laborious when they get up, proving that they kneel very sincerely. And in that experience, everyone, whether sincere or not, staggered to their feet. Some of the body boards are not very good, and they are erected by the pro-soldiers. That experience was a memorable experience for the group. Many people already feel in their hearts that the king of heaven is afraid that he will still toss his brothers like this this time.

After kneeling for five or six minutes, some of the fat ministers in the Eastern Palace's body had begun to sway from side to side because their knees could not bear it. After another minute or two, the female officer finally got up and turned to the crowd. She unfolded the golden edict in her hand and prepared to read it. The important ministers of the Eastern Palace, as well as the henchmen of the important ministers of the Eastern Palace, also didn't care about the strong discomfort in their knees, and listened with bated breath.

"Everyone in the East Wangfu intends to rebel, and there is no forgiveness for killing!" The female officer read aloud in a crisp voice.

The important ministers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion didn't understand what this meant for a while, but this was not the case with what everyone had discussed! Could it be that this female official has failed to change the holy decree privately?

Before this thought could be turned into the next move, the yellow silk swayed, and suddenly rushed out from behind. They all held long and short weapons in their hands, and killed the important ministers of the Eastern Palace, who were close at hand.

Huang Weijiang was the first in the first row, and he was about to stand up and scold these soldiers, when a spear was stabbed in the chest. He subconsciously grabbed the barrel of the gun with his hand, while the other spear pierced Huang Weijiang's throat. In a burst of intense pain and suffocation filled with the smell of blood, Huang Weijiang's eyes darkened. The pain of dying had quickly subsided, and Huang Weijiang only felt an indescribable throbbing. It seemed to be infinitely long, and it seemed like an instant, and the throbbing feeling dissipated.

Huang Weijiang's last thought was, "What went wrong?!" ”

Those like Huang Weijiang may be a little lucky, and those in the center of the kneeling phalanx will experience the panic of seeing their companions in the Dongwangfu be killed before they die. At this point, all shouts are "What are you going to do?" Or, "Are you going to rebel?" ”

But the soldiers on the other side did not answer at all, but fought hard to carry out the killing without stopping. The important ministers of the Eastern Palace's palace had been kneeling for a while, and even after standing up, they felt that their legs and feet were not flexible. Even many of them have been licking blood all the way to the present, and their resistance is very futile when they have no weapons and their bodies are not in the best condition.

Not to mention the tacit cooperation between this group of soldiers, two or three people formed a small team, and at the same time attacked an important minister of the Eastern Palace's mansion with the spear in their hands. Even if a spear was caught by the important ministers of the Eastern Palace, the other soldiers continued to poke it without hesitation. Under such a stormy onslaught, the important ministers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion were on the verge of annihilation in the blink of an eye.

There are also real masters in the Dongwang Mansion, Futian Marquis Fu Xuexian's position is relatively far in the middle, and he is the representative of the Dongwang Mansion who has always strongly demanded to kill the Northern King Wei Changhui. Everyone else was judging the situation and thinking about it for themselves, only Futian Marquis Fu Xuexian only shouted all day long that he wanted to lead the troops to kill Wei Changhui immediately.

Even when he arrived at the East Palace, Futian Marquis Fu Xuexian's mind was still on killing Wei Changhui. This allowed him to get into combat with the quickest reactions. Before joining the Taiping Army, Futianhou Fu Xuexian was a mountain king who blocked the road and looted, because he had a strict skin disease since he was a child, and Futianhou Fu Xuexian, who had been discriminated against and bullied, had an extremely violent personality. When facing the enemy, his pale face was almost completely distorted, and the unexpected visual effect stunned the soldiers who rushed over. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Fu Xuexian grabbed the spear and kicked the soldiers in front of him.

Fu Xuexian didn't try to resist, he went straight to the gate he passed by, trying to fight his way out of here. However, a figure flashed out at the gate, the man was holding a handcuff, and before Fu Xuexian could react, as soon as the gunshot rang out, Fu Xuexian was shot in the chest, his body was weak, and he fell to the ground on his knees with a spear in his hand.

The three soldiers behind caught up and stabbed Fu Xuexian's completely exposed back. The tip of the gun pierced deeply into Fu Xuexian's back heart, back waist, and left ribs. There was no screaming, no moaning, Fu Xuexian raised his head and looked at the person who hit him opposite, his pale face was a little surprised. He opened his mouth, and blood flowed down the corners of his mouth. Futian Marquis Fu Xuexian's last words before he died were, "Zhang Yingchen, you ......"

Obviously, Zhang Yingchen taught the assassination technique he learned from Wei Ze very well, and more than 100 important ministers from the Eastern Prince's Mansion came. In less than five minutes, everyone was stabbed. The pikemen did not retreat, but without hesitation began to replenish their guns around the necks of everyone on the ground. After another two minutes, the last moans and begs for mercy died down. The glittering courtyard was finally quiet.

As soon as the killing was over, the guy who had followed Chen Chengying into the Heavenly King's Mansion ran over. He is a close confidant of Chen Chengying and a civil official under the Shangshu of the East Palace. This person is very familiar with people in the Dongwang Mansion, but he has no special ability. This morning, the important ministers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion were quite disdainful when they saw that Chen Chengying actually chose him to enter the Future Military Division's Mansion.

Not long ago, the important ministers of the Eastern Prince's Mansion who had shown a sneering look had all died on the spot at this time. Their corpses were uniformly posed face up by Zhang Yingchen's subordinates. This very considerate approach did not make the former civil official of the Eastern Palace's mansion feel relaxed, the familiar face covered with blood, the expression of death, and the expression of pain and shock frozen on the face of the deceased, all made the civil official feel a chill in his back.

But no matter how scared he was in his heart, this civil official had to carry out his task. In his trembling hands, he held a list of the names of the important ministers of the Eastern King's Mansion who had been tricked into the Heavenly King's Mansion this time. For each deceased person, officials put a check box after the corresponding name on the list.

After checking the names of more than 200 people, the civil official's face was so pale that his hands were so shaky that he couldn't even hold a pen. He hurriedly took the list and ran towards the room near the courtyard, and used the fastest way to get out of the Shura field full of dead people.

In the room, there were still three people, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, and Chen Chengying, the king of heaven, and Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, still did not participate in this meeting. After reading all the checkoff lists, Chen Chengying breathed a long sigh of relief. Wei Changhui showed a happy look. As for Qin Rigang, it doesn't matter.

"Zuo Tianhou, then the next thing will be tiring for you again!" Wei Changhui said with a smile.

Chen Chengying replied: "King Bei, can you hold the Beiwang Mansion after your soldiers retreat?" ”

Wei Changhui's face showed confidence, "You can rest assured about this, since the team of the East Wangfu is not uniformly assigned, don't say 30,000, even 100,000, what are you afraid of?" ”

Wei Changhui was so confident that Chen Chengying could only get up and say, "Okay! I'll do it now! ”
