"Wing King Shi Da Kai ......" Lin Asheng read this term slowly, seeing the eyes of the other participants who were a little surprised, Lin Asheng explained, "I haven't heard this title for a long time, and I can't pronounce it a little." ”

The comrades who had been in the Heavenly Kingdom only smiled when they heard this, and it was only a year since they left the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had become an insignificant existence in the minds of these brothers. I have experienced too many things in Guangdong and have gained too much knowledge. Thinking back to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, everyone thinks it's weird. Some people didn't even laugh, and people like Li Yuchang who came from Long Weize originally had no impression of the Wing King Shi Dakai, and they didn't have any nostalgic feelings at this time.

"Governor, is there any information about why Shi Dakai left the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" Lin Asheng then asked.

Shi Dakai gave Hong Xiuquan a table and said that he was going on an expedition. Before the expedition, he ordered those in his team who were loyal to Hong Xiuquan to return to Tianjing. That's about it. Wei Ze said flatly.

"Is this an exodus?" Li Yuchang was quite surprised.

Hearing this question, Lin Asheng just glanced at Li Yuchang, but didn't say anything.

Wei Ze didn't care that Li Yuchang didn't understand military affairs, he replied: "There is no need to talk about the discipline of our army. Even when Yang Xiuqing was alive, whoever dared to do this in the Taiping Army would definitely cut off that person's head. ”

"Shi Dakai wants to rebel?" Li Yuchang asked in surprise.

"Shi Dakai wants to rebel?" Hong Xiuquan asked angrily.

In front of Hong Xiuquan was Lin Fengxiang, the prime minister of Tianguan, at this time, Lin Fengxiang had already listened to what Hong Xiuquan said, and compared these situations with the situation that Lin Fengxiang got from others, Lin Fengxiang probably determined the whole process of the matter.

Since last year, the Huai army has begun to move south. Jiang Zhongyuan first divided his troops into two routes, one way to feint Fengyang to contain the Taiping army near Fengyang, and the other way to storm Shouzhou. Shouzhou is an important town, which can be said to be a shield in Huainan. If Shouzhou is captured by the Qing army, the entire Huai River defense line will be finished. Li Kaifang, who commanded the Huainan War, mobilized troops to reinforce Shouzhou.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Zhongyuan was a false shot, and when Li Kaifang's reinforcements arrived in Shouzhou, Jiang Zhongyuan sent a small force to pretend to be the main force of the Qing army, and the real main force suddenly advanced eastward and joined forces with Li Hongzhang, who had already begun to attack Fengyang. After a hard battle, they actually captured Fengyang. Although Fengyang is not as important as Shouzhou, it is also an important city on the Huai River. The Huai army had Fengyang as a springboard and began to calmly send a large number of troops south.

When Wei Ze was in charge of Anhui's military affairs, the Taiping army had cleared the Qing strongholds south of the Huai River and vigorously infiltrated north of the Huai River. At that time, the Taiping Army looked thriving, and the local landlord regimental trainers were honest. After the Tianjing Revolution exploded, the local landlord armed forces thought that the Taiping Army was just such a muddy commodity that could not support the wall. As soon as the Qing army moved south, they rose up one after another to respond to the Qing army, and the entire Huainan situation was a mess in an instant.

Faced with such a bad situation, Lin Fengxiang had to go to southern Anhui in late January to direct the war. Only Hong Xiuquan and Shi Dakai were left in Tianjing City. At that time, Lin Fengxiang felt that Shi Dakai actually didn't want him to leave Tianjing City, but Lin Fengxiang was the only one who could command the two prime ministers of Huainan. Although Lin Fengxiang felt that there were many contradictions between Shi Dakai and Hong Xiuquan, the military situation was urgent at this time, and he didn't care so much. Moreover, Lin Fengxiang felt that when the situation in the Kingdom of Heaven was in a difficult situation, Hong Xiuquan and Shi Dakai should always be able to endure each other and not cause conflicts again. But Lin Fengxiang didn't expect that only three months after he left Tianjing City, Shi Dakai and Hong Xiuquan completely fell out.

Seeing that Lin Fengxiang didn't speak, Hong Xiuquan asked, "Prime Minister Lin, is Shi Dakai going to rebel?" Is he going to learn from Weizer? ”

Lin Fengxiang really didn't want to answer Hong Xiuquan's question, especially when Hong Xiuquan actually took out Wei Ze to talk about things, Lin Fengxiang became even more unhappy. Before Lin Fengxiang left, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom got the news. In Guangdong, Weeser fought with the British army because of the ban on smoking, and finally defeated the British army. Of course, this news was also specially spread by Wees. The purpose was to shake the Manchu court. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was also quite surprised when they learned the news, Hong Xiuquan said something that made Lin Fengxiang feel how unhappy he was, "Wei Ze actually fought with the foreign brothers!" ”

Not only did Lin Fengxiang listen to it unpleasantly, but Lin Fengxiang could see that Shi Dakai was also unhappy. The ban on smoking is a tradition of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Hong Xiuquan doesn't support Wei Ze, and Hong Xiuquan's tone sounds quite regretful about Wei Ze not being defeated by the British.

More than a year after the Tianjing Incident, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom actually had the same heart as Ming Spiegel, if it weren't for Wei Ze's lack of wanting to kill each other with the Heavenly Brothers, it would be more than enough to use Wei Ze's forces in Tianjing City at that time, as well as in Zhenjiang and Changzhou, to gather together and kill Wei Changhui, Qin Rigang and others, and kill the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, who was in command behind the scenes. Hong Xiuquan didn't remember Wei Ze's goodness, he could at least shut up and not mention Wei Ze. But talking like this behind your back, listening to the ears of the brothers will chill the brothers.

Lin Fengxiang felt that Hong Xiuquan had not been able to let go of the knot of Tianjing's change at this time, and he was very jealous of his brothers. It's just that he can't blame Hong Xiuquan for this, if he does, I'm afraid that Hong Xiuquan will be even more jealous psychologically.

"Heavenly King, the minister thinks that the Wing King will not have the intention of rebelling." Lin Fengxiang looked at Hong Xiuquan's slightly nervous expression, and finally said what he thought.

Hearing Lin Fengxiang say so surely, Hong Xiuquan's expression also relaxed slightly, and he continued to ask: "Shi Dakai wants to learn from Wei Ze?" ”

Lin Fengxiang sighed in his heart, Wei Ze's influence in the Taiping Army did not diminish with his departure from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. On the contrary, as Wei Ze gained a firm foothold in Guangdong and marched into Guangxi, he was about to occupy Liangguang. When many Heavenly Brothers mention the "King of Qi", they all have an indescribable feeling. When Wei Ze was in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he made great achievements. At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could be said to be extremely prosperous. The Taiping army broke the surrounding Qing army, and it was able to establish a solid position in front of it. After Wei Ze left, the Taiping army was besieged by the Qing army, and the fighting was fierce in various places, but it was difficult to break through.

When the famous "King of Qi" was in the Taiping army, he was brave and good at fighting, and he was invincible in all battles. After the famous "King of Qi" left the Taiping Army, he was still invincible and dominated the world. Comparing the situation of the two sides, it is impossible for everyone to have no ideas. And Lin Fengxiang can obviously feel that although everyone is vague when they mention Wei Ze, they are actually more afraid that it is Wei Ze's top boss, Dongwang Yang Xiuqing. Although Yang Xiuqing is domineering, he is indeed the backbone of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. With Yang Xiuqing in the center, no one dares to disobey the order, and all armies can cooperate with each other.

When Yang Xiuqing was in charge, Hong Xiuquan had no chance to speak. Not having the opportunity to speak certainly makes everyone feel that the king is worthy of sympathy, and not having the opportunity to speak will also make everyone unable to see Hong Xiuquan's problem. After Hong Xiuquan killed Yang Xiuqing, he was finally able to speak loudly as the king of heaven and give orders. So everyone clearly saw that whether in military or administrative terms, Hong Xiuquan really couldn't compare with Yang Xiuqing. The gap between the two made the brothers very disappointed.

According to the information that Lin Fengxiang knew, before Shi Dakai led his troops to leave Tianjing City on the grounds that the Jiujiang war was urgent, Hong Xiuquan did a very strange thing, he transferred Lin Fengxiang to Zhang Yingchen's headquarters, who was finally transferred to Changzhou to guard the town, back to Tianjing City to station. Zhang Yingchen is the one who survived after participating in the Tianjing Incident, and he is also a person that Hong Xiuquan can trust. Among the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zhang Yingchen is also the one who has won the true biography of Wei Ze and has a very strong combat ability.

Lin Fengxiang could understand Hong Xiuquan's thoughts, and transferred Zhang Yingchen back to Tianjing City to take charge of the defense of Tianjing City, so that Hong Xiuquan could suppress any possible "rebellion" at any time. Hong Xiuquan has suffered a lot and lacks a sense of security in his heart. For him, this is not unusual.

As the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, positioning himself in a position that requires the use of force to obtain security is completely self-deprecating. The brothers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are all smart people, and Hong Xiuquan is clearly threatening his brothers by doing this, and he doesn't treat his brothers as his own at all.

When Lin Fengxiang was in Tianjing City, he spent a lot of effort to eliminate the deep contradictions caused by the change in Tianjing. For example, he did not accept Shi Dakai's establishment of the Yiwang Mansion and followed Yang Xiuqing's old path. Similarly, Lin Fengxiang also resolutely opposed Hong Xiuquan to make his two elder brothers kings and use them to "balance" and suppress Shi Dakai. Lin Fengxiang knew that there was no trust between the Heavenly King and the Wing King, so he tried his best to let the remaining two of the six righteous kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom be in the same boat.

Looking at it now, Lin Fengxiang feels that he is still too idealistic. He actually tried to rebuild what had been completely destroyed, and if the Heavenly King and the Wing King could get back together, then they wouldn't have made such a fuss about not believing each other at all.

However, Hong Xiuquan didn't seem to have reflected on his own question at all, he saw that Lin Fengxiang didn't speak, and asked again, "Does Shi Dakai want to learn from Wei Ze?" ”

After listening to this question, which was asked three times, Lin Fengxiang wanted to ask rhetorically, "Why can't Shi Dakai learn from Wei Ze?" "Wei Ze couldn't stay in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at all, he chose to break away for himself and for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Since Hong Xiuquan didn't care about appeasing Shi Dakai at all, he had to beware of Shi Dakai in everything, so what was the point of Shi Dakai staying in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

These words of criticism of Hong Xiuquan are all on his lips, but Lin Fengxiang can't say anything, after all, he is one of the more than thirty righteous brothers in the Jintian Uprising, and now there are not many of these old brothers left. Therefore, Lin Fengxiang wants to hold on to his ideal of heaven. Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Lin Fengxiang replied: "The Wing King said that he was going on an expedition, and he might come back after he came. It's just that now he must have his own plans, and I'm afraid that he won't come back for a while. ”

Hearing this, Hong Xiuquan breathed a sigh of relief. Lin Fengxiang didn't know whether this ease was aimed at Shi Dakai's not coming back now, or if he would come back in the future. However, Lin Fengxiang couldn't pay attention to these things, and Lin Fengxiang was also very dissatisfied with Shi Dakai's separation. When Shi Dakai left Tianjing City, he used to rescue Jiujiang as a reason. Now Shi Dakai not only did not go to the rescue of Jiujiang himself, but also sent Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Wei Jun and others who did not choose to follow Shi Dakai back to Tianjing City. Nominally, he recommended a "capable" young general to Hong Xiuquan.

These people were originally people who supported the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and had no intention of leaving the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They were arranged as generals, which in itself proved the attitude of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom towards them, so why did Shi Dakai need to recommend them?

Shi Dakai has now gathered a group of generals in Jiangxi who want to break away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and stand on their own, no matter where they go next, but they will definitely no longer serve the overall strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but must first satisfy their own strategic interests.

This army with the Western Expeditionary Army as the core broke away from the strategy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Shi Dakai also sent the troops who refused to go with him back to Tianjing City, and now the reinforcements to rescue Jiujiang are equivalent to disbanding themselves. And Jiujiang is already in danger, if the Hunan army captures Jiujiang, the next target is undoubtedly Anqing. If Anqing falls again, the Hunan army will be able to go down the river and go straight to Tianjing City. At that time, the situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would collapse immediately.

While Lin Fengxiang was frowning and pondering, Hong Xiuquan opened his mouth and said: "Since the Wing King is going on an expedition, the army cannot be left without a commander for a day, so let's rebuild the chief general of the five armies now." ”

Lin Fengxiang was slightly stunned, he didn't expect Hong Xiuquan to come up with a coping strategy at this time. No matter what, Hong Xiuquan is the king of heaven, he opened his mouth, and Lin Fengxiang had to listen to it first.

And Lin Fengxiang soon realized that Hong Xiuquan's construction was not ridiculous, and even very operable. The system of rebuilding the chief general of the five armies has become the chief general of the five parties here in Hong Xiuquan. Jiangxi direction, Changzhou direction, Yangzhou direction, southern Anhui direction, Huainan direction, these are the five main strategic directions of the Taiping Army. In every strategic direction, the Qing army was carrying out offensives.

Hong Xiuquan proposed to form a force in every strategic direction, and the commanders were all the current generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Ji Wenyuan, Zeng Lichang, these four people are all subordinates of Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, and they are also veterans who made great contributions when conquering Tianjing City. And Li Xiucheng is a newly rising young general, but Hong Xiuquan is also particularly promoted.

If it's just such an arrangement, it can only be said to be a headache. Hong Xiuquan proposed that Wei Jun should be Lin Fengxiang's deputy, Chen Yucheng would be Li Kaifang's deputy, and several other generals who were embarrassed by the Tianjing Revolution were appointed as the deputies of the five main generals.

As soon as this construction came out, Lin Fengxiang's opinion of Hong Xiuquan immediately changed a lot. At this time, what the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom needed most was to appease people's hearts, and the main generals of the five parties were all people that Hong Xiuquan trusted, and none of them participated in the Tianjing Change. Giving those who were implicated in the Tianjing Revolution and whose minds were unstable to them as deputies can also stabilize people's hearts. Needless to say, Wei Changrong's younger brother Wei Jun gave Lin Fengxiang as his deputy, and Lin Fengxiang was sure to let Wei Jun settle down.

Seeing Hong Xiuquan calmly arranging the personnel work, Lin Fengxiang had an indescribable feeling in his heart. Let Hong Xiuquan take on administrative and military responsibilities, Hong Xiuquan is indeed not a capable person. However, when it comes to political struggle, Hong Xiuquan has shown quite unusual skills. It doesn't matter if you kill Yang Xiuqing, or if you arrange the main generals of the five parties now. Hong Xiuquan showed some admirable points.

"Obey the order!" Lin Fengxiang finally replied.
