Chapter 11: Separation (2)

On February 7, Shi Dakai, the winged king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, sat on his handsome boat and muttered. A few minutes ago, he had just sent Wei Ze's messenger out of the handsome ship, and there was so much information that Shi Dakai had to think about it.

This time, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan ordered the killing of Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King, the Northern King, the Yan King, the Wing King, and the three powerful kings of the Heavenly Kingdom all received orders. It was a rather classified operation and a very hasty one. If you add the "former Yan King", the seven surviving kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the King of Heaven, the King of the East, the King of the North, the King of Wing, the King of Qi, the King of Yan, and the King of Yu, three of the seven kings obey the orders of the King of Heaven, and the two kings are the descendants of the King of the East. Wei Ze, the king of Qi, and Hu Yihuang, the king of Yu, had more than 50,000 troops in their hands, plus the troops of the Dongwang Mansion, and the Dongwang family had at least 100,000 elite soldiers. And the Heavenly King family can only use less than 6,000 troops under the North King, Yan King, and Wing King.

Even so, the Wing King Shi Dakai finally led two thousand soldiers to Tianjing City. In any case, as the prince of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Yong'an system, King Yi must take his own stand at this time. If the East King kills the Heavenly King, the Winged King Shi Dakai will not have a good time in the future, because the Winged King is sealed by the Heavenly King, not the East King. As soon as the Heavenly King was finished, the Winged King Shi Dakai really couldn't see any reason for the East King to maintain the Winged King's position in the Heavenly Kingdom.

Along the way, Shi Dakai, the king of Shangyi, received three waves of letters, all of which were sent by Wei Ze, the king of Qi, to send messengers along the Yangtze River. Shi Dakai was very surprised that Wei Ze, the king of Qi, had expected that the winged king Shi Dakai would lead his troops down the river. People with such vision are by no means very human.

Wei Ze's letter was placed on the small table in front of the Wing King Shi Dakai, and it was clearly written on the letter that the Heavenly King killed the East King, and then killed the East King's people and the relatives of the East King's people, and killed 15,000 people. Wei Ze, the king of Qi, announced that he was going to break away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and from then on, everyone went their own way, and the well water did not interfere with the river water. Regarding this news, Yiwang Shi Dakai sincerely felt relieved.

When Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, was in charge of the power of Tianjing City, Shi Dakai, the king of wings, was responsible for reviewing the military and political measures drawn up by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and filling in the gaps, and his status was basically reduced to the role of a senator. With Yang Xiuqing's dominance, what the winged king Shi Dakai was most afraid of was that Yang Xiuqing "Heavenly Father descended to earth" that day, and ordered Shi Dakai to be killed.

Of course, Shi Dakai doesn't believe in such a thing as "Heavenly Father", he knows very well that his value to Yang Xiuqing lies in being able to put forward valuable opinions to Yang Xiuqing. Therefore, what Shi Dakai is most worried about is that Wei Ze continues to make great contributions. As Wei Ze, who was the first king after the establishment of Yong'an in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his contribution is indeed very great.

After occupying Anhui, Wei Ze did not engage in the Tianchao Tianchao system of acres of fields, but introduced the system of "paying taxes after completing grain". The Song System quickly completed the management of Anhui, not only feeding an army of tens of thousands of people, but also began to supply grain and grass to Tianjing City. In one fell swoop, it alleviated the dilemma of food shortage in Tianjing City.

Shi Dakai saw very clearly, there was no shortage of food and grass, and there was no need to worry about the military threat from the north of Tianjing City, Wei Ze completely stabilized Yang Xiuqing's military and political status. Yang Xiuqing named Wei Ze as the king of Qi, which is indeed a deserved reward. When other regions had to raise their own grain and grass, and even needed Tianjing City to provide the initial supply of soldiers and grain and grass, only Wei Ze became Yang Xiuqing's pillar.

Especially in the Second Northern Expedition, Yang Xiuqing was initially dissatisfied with Wei Ze's rapid retreat after saving people all the way north. But it didn't take long for the Qing army to strengthen the siege of Tianjing City, and Wei Ze immediately turned to the Qing army's Jiangnan and Jiangbei camps.

If it was someone else, Yang Xiuqing was afraid that he would have cleaned him up a long time ago. But the drastic changes in the strategic situation in reality made Yang Xiuqing have to agree with Wei Ze's actions. In the end, he just confiscated Wei Ze's territory in Anhui and seized another army from him, so he exposed the matter. In terms of Yang Xiuqing's personality, this is already an extremely generous disposition.

Of course, Shi Dakai knew that Yang Xiuqing was not the kind of "generous" person, and if it weren't for reality proving that Wei Ze's choice was correct, Yang Xiuqing would definitely not say a word about Wei Ze's failure to attack Beijing.

As a powerful faction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Shi Dakai also saw it very clearly. From Wei Ze's point of view, he still holds the largest corps in the Kingdom of Heaven in his hands, and he still has Yang Xiuqing's trust. Moreover, Yang Xiuqing allowed a large army like Wei Ze to save zĂ i, which also had the intention of balancing other forces in Tianjing City. In the changes in the situation after this, Weeser did not lose anything. If Wei Ze had predicted today's situation, he would have been able to completely get rid of the shackles of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and be able to spread his wings and fly into a wider space.

Like Chen Chengying, Shi Dakai also saw something beneath the table. Wei Ze's judgment on entering Tianjing City is also correct, as the number one general under the East King, the only reason for entering the Tianjing City is to avenge the East King. If Wei Ze did this, he would only let himself be exhausted in the ensuing series of battles, and pull the kingdom of heaven to the end. So Weeser's words are completely credible.

As for Wei Ze's request for someone from Hong Xiuquan, no matter whether the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan gives it or not, there is no loss to Wei Ze. As the number one general under the Eastern King, it was only natural for Wei Ze to ask the Heavenly King for the families of the people who were killed under the Eastern King. If the King of Heaven gives people to Wei Ze, as Wei Ze said, the brothers of the Kingdom of Heaven will feel the benevolence of the King of Heaven.

Weeser also pointed out one more thing. The king of heaven killed the king of the east, killed the people of the king of the east, and killed the middle-level officers of the army of the king of the east, which can be explained by the rebellion of the king of the east. Although the brothers in other parts of the kingdom of heaven feel that the king is ruthless, they can still accept this fact, and even feel that the king has the ability to control the overall situation. But if the Heavenly King continues to kill, then there will be no way to explain to the Heavenly Brothers morally.

Shi Dakai received three letters from Wei Ze along the way, and in Wei Ze's latest letter, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan really killed the relatives of the Eastern King's subordinates. This is indeed breaking the lower limit. If the previous killings are still a question of whether the Heavenly King is considered the supreme leader of the Heavenly Kingdom, the subsequent killings will directly become a question of "whether the Heavenly King is still a human being". As long as there is at least the least mercy in his heart, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan can't be so cruel to his brother's relatives.

Wing King Shi Dakai repeatedly judged the current situation, and finally came to a relatively optimistic estimate. When the king killed the families of his brothers, he also fell into a situation where people's hearts were lost. Wei Changhui, the king of the north who followed the king of heaven to move the Tianjing Incident, and Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, also had no future. If the Heavenly King does not want the other brothers to completely deviate from morality, then he must give an account to the Heavenly Brothers, and the two who directly carried out the massacre will have no future.

When Shi Dakai led his troops eastward, Hu Yihuang, the king of Yu, was seriously ill, and it was unknown how long he could last. And Wei Ze, the king of Qi, had to break away from the Heavenly King. Among the seven kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only Shi Dakai, the winged king, is the only one who can live until now, can stay until now, and his hands are clean and his appeal is still the same.

Realizing this situation, Shi Da's ecstasy was almost irrepressible. But after all, he is the winged king Shi Dakai, and he is also a figure who has experienced a period of fear under Yang Xiuqing. This joy did not make him immediately get carried away, Shi Dakai thought about the matter several times, and finally made a decision. That is, I didn't go to Tianjing City first, but went to Changzhou, where Wei Ze was located, and had an open and honest conversation with Wei Ze.

If Shi Dakai wants to get the most out of this situation, he must first ensure that Wei Ze must truly break away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If Wei Ze is not capable of controlling his troops, and a considerable part of his troops are unwilling to leave the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in order to maintain the unity of his troops, Wei Ze can only choose to march into Tianjing City and fire and merge with the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. That's a different story.

For Shi Dakai, among the seven kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the East King died, and as long as the Heavenly King did not want to be reduced to the point of being alone, then the North King and the Yan King must be held responsible for the Tianjing Incident. Then the king of the north and the king of Yan have reached the end of the road in politics. Hu Yihuang is seriously ill and doesn't know how long he can last. Among the seven kings, the king of the east, the king of the north, the king of Yan, and the king of Yu, these four kings can basically be excluded from the political territory in the future. As long as the King of Qi decides to leave the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, then there will be a discredited Heavenly King and a pure and flawless Winged King, and it is not clear who the brothers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom support.

At that time, as long as the Wing King Shi Dakai took over the position of the Left Auxiliary Army Division of the East King Yang Xiuqing, it was a sure thing, and there was no need for the Wing King Shi Dakai to ask for it himself, and the Heavenly Kingdom brothers below would also take the initiative to make such a request. Ask the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to hand over the position of Zuo Fuzheng Military Division to the Wing King Shi Dakai to inherit.

At this juncture, all the Wing King Shi Dakai needed was to meet Qi King Wei Ze once. If Wei Ze really wants to leave, then naturally there is no need to worry, Wei Ze is not such a smart person, there is no need to kill the Wing King Shi Dakai before leaving. If Wei Ze doesn't really want to go, it will be even better, in the current situation, Wei Ze, as the "remnant of the East King", still wants to mix in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he needs a character who completely overthrows the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. And the winged king Shi Dakai is undoubtedly the best candidate.

After thinking about this seemingly dangerous action several times, Shi Dakai decided to go and meet Wei Ze, the king of Qi. After making a decision, Shi Dakai called Luo Xuan, the prime minister of Dongguanzheng, who came with him, to discuss with him. Luo Xuan has always refused to join the God Worship Sect, and this behavior is naturally resented by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. It's just that the East King is dictatorial and reuses the Luo Outline, so that he can have today's status. Of course, Luo Xuan has a good impression of the East King.

Luo Xuan is good at water warfare, and in the Battle of Hukou, he was the right-hand man of the Wing King Shi Dakai. This time he came to "King Qin", and the winged king Shi Dakai would rather throw Hu Yihuang in Wuchang, and also use an excuse to take Luo Outline with him. The reason was that he was worried that after Luo Xuan learned the news of the killing of the East King, he would take some impulsive actions.

At this time, the East King was killed, the East King Mansion and the East King were all killed, and Luo Xuan had no one to rely on. Shi Dakai believes that the only thing Luo Outline can choose is himself. Since this is the case, he can't hide the current situation from Luo Xuan.
