Silence, silence. After listening to Shi Dakai's account of the Tianjing Revolution and Shi Dakai's experience of leaving the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, at least Shi Dakai's own experience, the people involved in this terrible meeting were silent.

The Tianjing Revolution was undoubtedly the darkest and most tragic time in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The defeat in the battle, and even the sacrifice of important people failed to break the morale of the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, for everyone, those days were miserable, but there was no despair.

From the establishment of Yong'an to the prominence of Yong'an, all the way to Nanjing. Along the way, Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, died, and Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, died. Failed to attack Guilin, failed to attack Changsha, and had to give up after conquering Wuhan. The Taiping army had no base, did not stabilize the rear, and was surrounded by strong enemies, but the generals did not lose confidence. Everyone rose from defeat again and again, not being crushed by adversity, but constantly fighting and fighting. By the time of the Tianjing Rebellion, the Taiping army had taken control of a large area of land, built a Huai River defense line in the north, and prepared to attack with all its might in the east and west. At this glorious apex, the Tianjing Revolution broke out, and the sun that shrouded the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom disappeared without a trace. Since then, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been in decline.

But can this really blame someone completely, and put all the blame on someone? Even the generals who opposed Shi Dakai and Hong Xiuquan knew very well how domineering Yang Xiuqing was at that time. When Yang Xiuqing was in full swing, even if everyone suddenly heard that Yang Xiuqing had killed Wei Changhui, the king of the North, and Shi Dakai, the king of wings, they would be shocked, but everyone would not be surprised. At that time, everyone would not be surprised who Yang Xiuqing killed and who he blamed.

Of course, everyone can blame the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, blame the Wing King Shi Dakai, and even reprimand the Northern King Wei Changhui and Zuo Tianhou Chen Chengrong. But Yang Xiuqing, who let everyone live under that kind of horror, not be responsible? Everyone is a military general, and no one will stand still in the face of such a threat. Counterattacking can be completely understood, and not fighting back is a very unexpected thing.

Even if Shi Dakai's choice at that time could not be forgiven, including Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng, they all accepted Shi Dakai's explanation, and they really had no other way at that time.

After telling a lot of things, Shi Dakai was also a little tired. After a pause, he said, "Brothers, I didn't dare to talk about these old things. Because I always felt that I did the right thing, but I also knew that my brothers would not forgive me. I didn't figure out why my brothers couldn't forgive me, but now I finally understand. No matter where I Shi Dakai goes, I am a member of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. But I felt at the time that as long as I, Shi Dakai, broke off the righteousness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, I, Shi Dakai, would be able to create a piece of my own world. It was long before I left Tenkyo that I realized I was wrong! ”

With Shi Dakai's arrogance, he used to have to often say that "the little brother has a shallow stomach and is always easy to make mistakes, so please ask Dongwang for more advice." Aside from that, when did he really admit to others that he was wrong? But what really moved the kings and important ministers was not that Shi Dakai admitted that he was wrong, but that Shi Dakai said it to everyone's hearts.

In the matter of killing Yang Xiuqing, everyone didn't think that Shi Dakai had any special responsibility inside. Even if Shi Dakai didn't say it himself, everyone would have guessed that Shi Dakai knew about it, and Shi Dakai supported it.

After the Tianjing Change, Shi Dakai forced to death Wei Changhui, the king of Yan, Qin Rigang, and Chen Chengrong, the king of Yan, and returned to Tianjing City again. The generals are still willing to do their best to support Shi Dakai as the actual "regular army division". Hong Xiuquan has always refused to seal Shi Dakai as a regular army division, and the generals may not really oppose it. Everyone has seen the domineering attitude of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, after becoming a regular army division, but Yang Xiuqing was not like this before. Shi Dakai is indeed good before the regular army division, but who can guarantee that Shi Dakai will not become the second Yang Xiuqing after becoming the main army division.

The struggle for power between Shi Dakai and Hong Xiuquan is considered to be five-five. I sympathize with Shi Dakai more, but I don't have the idea that I must have Shi Dakai get the status of a regular army division.

What really made everyone dissatisfied with Shi Daxing was that even if he got most of the authority of the regular army division, Shi Dakai still didn't accept it. He pulled 200,000 elites out of the Jiangxi front, and since then he has parted ways with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If Shi Dakai can't leave, the generals will always be biased towards Shi Dakai, and once Shi Dakai leaves, he will no longer be a member of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Shi Dakai is still under the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which can only make the generals who remain in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom even more dissatisfied with Shi Dakai in their hearts.

"You finally know you're wrong?" King Chen Yucheng glared at Shi Dakai and said.

Shi Dakai also understood that someone would definitely say this, and it was quite appropriate for Chen Yucheng to speak first. When Shi Dakai led his troops to break away from the Jiangxi front, Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng resolutely refused to go with him. So Shi Dakai also played a small trick and wrote a letter to Hong Xiuquan, saying that Li Xiucheng and Chen Yucheng could be of great use, and let them lead troops to serve Hong Xiuquan. In fact, Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng and those soldiers and horses are all people who refuse to drive away with Shi Da.

Raising his eyes to look at Chen Yucheng, Shi Dakai was a little surprised to see that Chen Yucheng's eyes were a little red. Chen Yucheng is a person who would rather shed blood than tears, and this is the case at this time, which shows that he is excited. Shi Dakai said calmly: "Brother Chen, I was indeed wrong. ”

"Since you know that you are wrong, what face do you have to say bad things about King Qi again, and what face do you have to say that you want to kill your brothers. Isn't the change of Tianjing enough? Chen Yucheng said loudly to Shi Dakai. Hearing this, many of the kings and generals nodded slightly. Everyone is not a child, and it has been so long since the change of Tianjing, and it is impossible for everyone to remember it every day. Shi Dakai is willing to admit that his escape was wrong today, and this is said in everyone's hearts. Many people also feel that a knot has been opened. But Shi Dakai's evaluation of Wei Ze and the need to use strict military law to deal with homesick brothers today are unacceptable.

"I'll talk about these two things one by one, let's talk about King Qi first. Based on what I have experienced, King Qi is by no means as simple a person as everyone thinks. Shi Dakai said frankly.

The reason why Hong Xiuquan and the kings wanted to launch the Tianjing Revolution was that Chen Chengrong determined that Wei Ze was eager to let Yang Xiuqing be a long live, and the only way was to let Yang Xiuqing replace Hong Xiuquan. Wei Ze said that the king of heaven is just the king of heaven, and the king of the east is the father of heaven. What's wrong with Heavenly Father sitting on the throne? The meaning of this could not be clearer.

Inside, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, mastered the defense of Tianjing City, and outside there was the strongest field army in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Wei Ze's hands, and Wei Ze was ambitious to make Yang Xiuqing the first person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, became Long Live Live, Hong Xiuquan was destined to die without a place to be buried. Hong Xiuquan can only eradicate Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, for his own sake.

Shi Dakai knew very well that in the eyes of the generals who had always been loyal to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze supported the usurpation of the throne by the Eastern King, which was also Wei Ze's duty. Moreover, after the Tianjing Change, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, was killed, Wei Ze did not continue to realize his ambitions in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he left the two sides with his subordinates.

So Shi Dakai took his own experience as an example. Shi Dakai had escaped from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and because he had done so, he knew too well how difficult it was to pull an army out of formation. Shi Dakai's reputation was so high at that time, and Hong Xiuquan was so unpopular, but Shi Dakai also tried his best to pull away some of the troops. Many people Shi Dakai thought would definitely follow him, but they just didn't follow him.

At the time of the Tianjing Change, Yang Xiuqing was still killed by Wei Changrong, the king of the North, in the heavily guarded Dongwang Mansion. But Wei Ze brought dozens of personal soldiers into Tianjing City and lived in the Qi Palace. Wei Changrong sent troops to the Qi Palace, but Wei Ze escaped with his life. That's all it takes, Wei Ze only stayed in Tianjing City for one night, escaped the pursuit, and the next morning he was able to bring a dozen people and pull tens of thousands of horses away from the Dongwangfu system, which had no losses at that time.

"Everyone is a person who fought on the battlefield, if it is said that King Qi has no preparation at all, I absolutely do not believe it. With the shrewdness and strength of the king of the east, the king of Qi said that if he took away 10,000 people from the king of the east, he would immediately take away 10,000 people. If we hadn't all seen it, who among us would have believed? Shi Dakai asked loudly.

No one spoke immediately, and everyone's memory of the Tianjing Rebellion was the bloody massacre. For those people who were taken away by Wei Ze, everyone occasionally felt glad for them when they thought about it, if they didn't follow Wei Ze, they were afraid that they would be in the next massacre. Now after Shi Dakai said it, everyone realized that sometimes things may not be so simple.

Of course, the 10,000 people were taken away from Wei Ze by the East King, but this army was taken away for more than half a year, and the leader Zhang Yingchen was replaced by the East King with a trick. The officers of all walks of life were replaced by the cronies of the East King. Under such circumstances, Wei Ze raised his arms and shouted, and 10,000 people followed Wei Ze and left. The troops left the officers of the East King and followed Wei Ze away. Of course, this was a special situation at the time, but if this army had not always regarded Weezer as their true leader, such a situation would never have happened.

Looking at it a little further, Wei Ze is certainly the number one general under Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, but Wei Ze's troops are actually completely independent of the control of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east. Even the troops that had been taken away for more than half a year were completely loyal to Weese, not to mention the other troops. If Wei Ze is really as loyal to Yang Xiuqing as he seems on the surface, then even if Wei Ze refuses to avenge the East King, his subordinates are afraid that they will try to get Wei Ze to let Wei Ze avenge the East King. It is unlikely that Wei Ze will give the order to the troops to go to Guangdong, and the whole army will go to Guangdong immediately.

Shi Dakai admitted that he didn't think of himself as a member of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom when he left, so what was the attitude of Wei Ze, who acted more decisively, at that time?

Chen Yucheng was originally going to choke Shi Dakai hard, but now he is also silent. There are some things that you just don't want to do, and the more you think about it, the more scary it becomes.

Seeing everyone's thoughtful expressions, Shi Dakai continued: "I'm not saying that everyone can't be homesick, but now the old brothers' homes are in Wei Ze's hands. If they go home, then I would like to ask the brothers of the family, do these brothers regard Wei Ze's side as writers, or do they regard our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as writers? Do they recognize themselves as members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! ”

After saying this, no one spoke. Just when Shi Dakai felt that he had convinced everyone, Lin Fengxiang opened his mouth and said: "It's not that my brothers think that they are from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but whether our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom thinks that our brothers are our people." To leave our brothers behind is to let them live and die with us. At this time, if you don't even give your brothers the opportunity to choose a path, I don't think it's righteous. ”
