Chapter 235: Following the Right Person (12)

"Hong Xiuquan" was formerly known as Hong Renkun, and later participated in the imperial examination, but failed to pass the examination three times in a row. After the failure of the third imperial examination, he fell ill at home, was bedridden for forty days, and could not be cured for a long time, so in order to recover his body as soon as possible, he changed his name to "Hong Xiuquan". The name Hong Xiuquan later became both a communication code word and a political proverb when he established the "God Worship Religion". His surname "Hong" is composed of "3821", and this "3821" is the contact code of "God Worship Religion" and the name of the legislature. The name "Xiuquan" is composed of "He", "Nai", "Ren", and "Wang", because the pronunciation of the word "He" and the word "I" is similar, and it is pronounced as "I am the king of people", that is, Hong Xiuquan is a leader sent by God.

This act of pretending to be a god has always been a characteristic of Hong Xiuquan's establishment of the Worship of God Religion, and the king of Hong Tianwang died of illness in 1864 when the Hunan army besieged Tianjing City, and now he has lived for four more years. In history, most of the energy of Hong Tianwang in the later period was spent on compiling the scriptures of the worship of God, and in the four years of his life, Hong Tianwang wrote a lot of content. As long as the generals of Tianjing Chang'an thought that they would no longer have to read and recite these broken scriptures, they felt extremely relaxed in their hearts.

If Hong Tianwang just wrote the scriptures by himself, and watched it by himself after compiling it, everyone would never deprive Hong Tianwang of his hobbies and fun. But in the last few years, in addition to writing it himself, Hong Tianwang also had to force everyone to learn to memorize it. Hong Tianwang's relatives even said, "Wei Ze asked the schoolchildren to learn the books he wrote, and we must also make the whole kingdom of heaven memorize the books of the Heavenly King!" ”

Not only did he write textbooks and ask the children to memorize them, he also made all the examination systems revolve around this knowledge. What is even more excessive than Hong Tianwang is that Wei Ze even made a Xinhua dictionary, and even the common script is stipulated. The generals of the Taiping Army knew all these things.

However, after reading Wei Ze's book, the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom knew very well that the content written by Wei Ze was mathematics, physics, chemistry, and Chinese. Probably the only one that bears the Weeser name is the "Weeser periodic table". Although the ghost-like periodic table looked very strange, the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not understand it at all. But they also know very well that this Weeser periodic table is by no means about how Weeser is holy, and it is definitely not about everyone who must be willing to serve Weizer as the master.

Therefore, after King Hong returned to heaven, the shock of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was by no means the object of everyone's incomparable admiration. Hong Xiuquan killed Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and a bloody cannibalism ensued between the kings. Since then, Hong Tianwang's status in everyone's hearts has become completely mundane. He is the nominal leader of the Heavenly Balance Kingdom, but he is just a human being like everyone else.

After being "escorted" from Nanjing to Chang'an by the Guangfu Army, the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not even have the feeling of having two days. Not only was the Manchu Qing still there, but there were also strong men like Wei Ze in China. The survival of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has not been decided in the hands of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself, and when Wei Ze thinks that there is no need for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to exist, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will perish.

After the death of Hong Xiuquan Hong Tianwang, his son Hong Tiangui naturally became the new Heavenly King. If Hong Xiuquan is regarded as a tiger, this little doll is just a cat. And Hong Xiuquan instilled in Hong Tianfu all day long that he was the true son of heaven, so he should naturally sit in the world, so this cat itself is not a healthy cat, it can probably be called a sick cat.

After the envoy of the Guangfu Army arrived in Chang'an, Hong Tianfu did not know that this major event had happened, and the envoy was now the real two giants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Shi Dakai, the king of wings, and Lin Fengxiang, the king of Zhang.

In order to show respect, Wei Ze asked Hei Chenggang, the military political commissar of the Northern Command, as a representative. Whether it was Shi Dakai or Lin Fengxiang, in fact, as long as Wei Ze didn't go in person, they would have long forgotten who the generals under Wei Ze were. In the era when they were colleagues with Wei Ze, Hu Cheng and these people couldn't get into the eyes of the two at all.

"But I don't know what Brother Wei has planned?" Lin Fengxiang asked bluntly. Before Wei Ze's envoy arrived here in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the important ministers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom except for Hong Xiuquan's relatives had already discussed it. Everyone is not optimistic about the current situation. If you can divide the world, it is naturally best to maintain a small imperial court in the northwest, but no matter how you look at it, Wei Ze will not agree to this matter. If Wei Ze did not agree, the next best option was to maintain the de facto separation, but nominally submit to Wei Ze.

"There is a building yì in 陛xià, I don't know if you want to hear it?" Hei Cheng replied bluntly.

Hearing that there was only one option, Lin Fengxiang and Shi Dakai were quite calm, but Hei Chenggang observed that the pupils of both of them couldn't help but shrink.

Of course, Lin Fengxiang was very nervous in his heart, when Wei Ze only gave one Jianyi, the result of not accepting Wei Ze's Jianyi was naturally eliminated. If it is just from the perspective of friendship, Wei Ze saved Lin Fengxiang's life, and then helped Lin Fengxiang many times, Lin Fengxiang owes Wei Ze a great favor. But when Wei Ze really wanted to ruthlessly destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Lin Fengxiang could only swear to fight Wei Ze to the death.

After a while, Lin Fengxiang opened his mouth and asked, "But I don't know what Brother Wei proposed." ”

Hei Chenggang took out a map and spread it on the table, he pointed to the map and said: "Our Guangfu Army heard that the Taiping Army has leveled almost the entire northwest, and the chaotic party that shouted to destroy the Han Dynasty has now fled to Xinjiang. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is willing to surrender to our People's Dynasty and send troops to Xinjiang to exterminate these rebellious parties, we can accept your de facto semi-independent status. ”

The first half of this request was still expected by Lin Fengxiang and Shi Dakai, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not become a regime on an equal footing with Wei Ze. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ran from Nanjing to Chang'an, in fact, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, including Hong Xiuquan, was very aware of this matter. The reason why Hong Xiuquan Hong Tianwang wrote those scriptures that demanded infinite loyalty from others was to dispel this idea from the ideological point of view.

What the Taiping army didn't expect was that Wei Ze was so able to endure it, and he didn't come to negotiate until Hong Xiuquan returned to heaven. If Hong Xiuquan is still alive, everyone really doesn't know what will happen then.

But the second half of this construction was completely unexpected, Lin Fengxiang and Shi Dakai didn't expect Wei Ze to ask the Taiping Army to march into Xinjiang.

"Into Xinjiang? What about Shaanxi and other places? Lin Fengxiang asked.

"Of course, these territories must be handed over to the central government of the Republic of China." Hei Chenggang gave a clear answer.

Hearing this, Lin Fengxiang and Shi Dakai could no longer suppress their feelings, and their faces changed together.
