September 22, 1854, Zhenjiang.

Wei Ze, the king of Qi, led 30,000 troops to be stationed in the city, while the troops originally stationed in Zhenjiang crossed the Yangtze River into the Anhui region.

In the General Staff, a meeting was held.

"That is to say, the king of the East wants us to strictly abide by the system of the Taiping Army, and what we are doing now needs to be corrected if it is inconsistent with the system?" Wei Changrong frowned and asked in a disgusted tone.

"Yes." Weser replied slowly with his teacup in his hand.

That is to say, the king of the east asked Hu Chenghe to bring 5,000 men and horses from Shouzhou to Zhenjiang. All our troops in Anhui belong to someone else? Ke Gongyu's eyes widened, and he asked in a tone of disbelief.

Wei Ze first blew the foam on the surface of the teacup, smelled the fragrance of the tea, and Wei Ze replied in a calm tone: "I have sent Lin Asheng to take over the arsenal in Luzhou. For the rest of the day, we also have two women's battalions at the military level. ”

Listening to Wei Ze's words, Ke Gongyu pressed his mouth with an angry trembling hand, and his fingers grabbed his chin hard. As if he was afraid that as soon as he let go of his hand, he would say something nasty.

"That is to say, we have to pay tribute to the East King 20,000 fire caps and guns in three months, and we have to hand over 500,000 fire caps to the East King in half a year?" The hatred on Lei Hu's face didn't dare to fully reveal it, and as a result, his expression looked like a smile rather than a smile.

Wei Ze had already taken a sip of tea, breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and took another breath. After tasting the aroma of tea in his nose, Wei Ze replied, "I sue the king of the east, and I can only do my best." It is estimated that it will not be completed. ”

After Weeser's words fell, there was silence in the General Staff. The generals looked at each other, not knowing what to say. There were all kinds of expressions in everyone's expressions, some were angry, some were puzzled, and some people's eyes flashed with weakness or shame.

Ju Junfeng's face turned red, and he finally shouted loudly: "Chief of General Staff, we have made such a great contribution, how can it be like this." Someone must have spoken ill of us in front of the King of the East! ”

Looking at Ju Junfeng's indignant appearance, Wei Ze suddenly remembered something. In Lu Xun's "The True Story of Ah Q", a joke was used, called "Regret should not be, drunk and mistakenly beheaded Brother Zheng Xian". It was a passage from the Peking Opera "Cutting the Yellow Robe".

Wei Ze doesn't love Peking Opera, but Wei Ze's father loves Peking Opera. Wei Ze's mother was not interested in Peking Opera, and once she was forced to go to see "Cutting the Yellow Robe" with Wei Ze's father, and said after coming back that when she originally listened to the commentary, she thought that Zheng En was very aggrieved that he was killed. really watched this play, and only then did I know that this guy's death was not unjust at all. I've seen a prick with pride, but I've never seen a thorn to such an extent.

Wei Ze has never seen this play, but he liked to listen to commentary when he was a child, and killing heroes has always been a tradition of Chinese feudal dynasties. So he just had some impressions of it.

Now looking at Ju Junfeng's expression as if he had been greatly wronged, a sentence came to Wei Ze's mind, "Thank you roommate for not killing!" ”

In college, there were people dying every year, and they didn't agree with each other, wielding fruit knives and stabbing people to death. For the sake of the sister-in-law, she was jealous and beat people to death. This is a regular program at the university every year. Playing a game on the Internet because I met a pig teammate, I scolded the pig teammate after I was unhappy, and the pig teammate dared to scold back, but several people ran to the pig teammate in a bullet train from different places, and the pig teammate beat me up.

Compared with these, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, was already benevolent enough to Wei Ze. You must know that Wei Changhui, the king of the north, is in charge of the defense of Tianjing City, which is equivalent to making the dignified king of the north become a garrison commander. personally determined the fact that the king of the east had one grain for two days to the king of the north, and it can be seen that the life of the king of the north in the city of heaven was not easy at all. Before getting the news provided by Qi Yuchang, Wei Ze really didn't know that Wei Changhui, the king of the North, was often called to the East Wangfu by Yang Xiuqing and scolded him angrily. After being scolded, Wei Changhui had to kneel on the ground and say: "What the East King taught is that the little brother is really tender and ignorant!" ”

In addition to Wei Changhui, the king of the north, whenever Yang Xiuqing played the arrival of the Heavenly Father, he made the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan kneel to listen to the order, and even scolded Hong Xiuquan with a cane. Compared to this, Yang Xiuqing really played Heavenly Father to descend and then killed Wei Ze, so what can it be?

Even the Winged King Shi Dakai is relied on by Yang Xiuqing, and everything has to be planned by the Winged King Shi Dakai. It is said that when Shi Dakai handed over the planned things to Yang Xiuqing, he was also trembling, and he didn't dare to come out. Later, the Western Expedition suffered a setback from Yan Zhan, and Yang Xiuqing ordered Shi Dakai to become the commander-in-chief of the Western Expeditionary Army. But every few months, Yang Xiuqing would call Shi Dakai back to Tianjing City for a period of time.

Compared with these people, Wei Zejue's Yang Xiuqing is already quite polite to himself. Not only did he not beat or scold, but he also did not restrict Weese's freedom of action. This is based on Wei Ze's sensibility and interest, if Wei Ze and Ju Junfeng feel wronged when they encounter something like this, it is estimated that Yang Xiu will clean up Wei Ze early in the morning.

Thinking of this, Wei Ze said with a smile: "Although we have left Anhui, the king of the east has ordered, let us go east to Jiangsu and Zhejiang." Jiangsu and Zhejiang are good places, and they don't know where to go compared to Anhui. And I have already asked the king of the east for instructions, and after defeating Jiangsu and Zhejiang, everyone will be able to get married. There are a lot of beauties in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and everyone will have big beauties to marry at that time! ”

Ju Junfeng still didn't give up, and Wei Ze didn't want to make any radical expressions. For this group of subordinates, Wei Ze has nothing particularly reassured. Don't look at the Huan who screams on their lips, at a critical moment, they really chose to break with the East King, and these people may not be so determined.

Wei Ze simply used the future beauty as an excuse, and there were people in the crowd who played in the round. At least Ruan Xihao said with a smile that he didn't get a beautiful woman last time, and now he finally has a chance, and he can get his wife as he wishes.

After the apparent storm passed, Wei Ze moved out of his plan to the generals. The best quality of the muskets of Weese's troops were converted from imported foreign guns. Therefore, the purpose of Wei Ze's eastward advance was to fight as far as possible near Shanghai, so that the troops could import foreign guns from Shanghai.

It was part of a deal that Mr. Weser had struck with Mr. Yang, who said he could provide Mr. Yang with cap guns on a large scale. But this must be on the basis of Weeser's ability to import foreign guns in large quantities. Although Yang Xiuqing is smart, he is a layman in making guns after all. Insiders and laymen have always been a pit.

Wei Ze's real idea was to give Yang Xiuqing the musket cap gun converted from the arquebus seized from the Manchus. Weize himself is fully equipped with a cap gun modified from a foreign gun.
