"Brother Wei, I don't know what kind of hardships you have encountered all the way south." Yang Xiuqing talked to Wei Ze in his new Dongwang Mansion.

Wei Ze imagined that there would be a meeting attended by the kings, but Hong Xiuquan and Hong Tianwang were a little sluggish, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, hurriedly went out to command the defense, Shi Dakai, the king of wings, left with Hong Xiuquan, and Wei Changhui, the king of the north, took Yang Xiuqing's order and went out to arrange the defense of the city. In the end, only Yang Xiuqing talked to Wei Ze alone.

Regarding Yang Xiuqing's question, Wei Ze replied respectfully: "The blessing of King Dong, the Qing demon is being led by the nose of King Dong, and I didn't notice that I was such a small group of people, I just walked some roads, and I didn't encounter any hardships." ”

"Take the demon by the nose? Ha ha! Yang Xiuqing smiled, but he didn't mean it seriously, he continued to ask: "Even if you have walked some roads, you can tell me which roads you have taken." ”

Yang Xiuqing must ask, and Wei Ze told Yang Xiuqing everything he had traveled all the way. Of course, he didn't dare to say anything about the attack on Wujiazhen with a paraglider, but after thinking about it, he couldn't do it without saying it. Let's just talk about it briefly. Wei Ze originally wanted to be as low-key as possible, but when he talked about his hardships along the way, his feelings couldn't help but get excited. The original simple narrative has gradually become colorful.

Yang Xiuqing just listened carefully, and occasionally asked some questions. He didn't make a fuss about the use of paragliders, but frowned slightly and asked Wei Ze to tell in more detail. Wei Ze didn't dare to talk about aerodynamics, but said that when he was young, he jumped down from a high place with an oilcloth umbrella, and felt that there was an umbrella in the way, and the fall slowed down, so he played a few more times. In the end, the umbrella was broken, and his father beat him. Just remember that clearly. And Wujiazhen was well defended, and Wei Ze had a whim in desperation and adopted this method. It was also good luck that he succeeded in the end.

After hearing this, Yang Xiuqing smiled and said: "Brother Wei, I see that you are doing things very calmly now, I didn't expect you to be so naughty when you were a child." If you break your umbrella, your father will beat him hard. ”

Wei Ze also smiled: "If it weren't for my father's hard fight, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to remember this incident." ”

Then Wei Ze said that he finally crossed the Li River, and happened to meet Lin Fengxiang, who came to meet him, and then he knew that Yang Xiuqing led the Taiping army north. Because he was unable to break the Qing army, Wei Ze could only make a detour and wanted to rush to Yongzhou. First, he sent a sentry to Yongzhou and met Yang Xiuqing's department. Then he learned that Yang Xiuqing was going south, so Wei Ze stopped in Daozhou.

"It's not hard, Brother Wei has really suffered a lot of sins along the way." Yang Xiuqing said with a smile, "Brother Wei, your winter official and deputy prime minister are still small. ”

"The subordinates are dedicated to fighting the demons, and the big and small things of this official position are all arranged by the East King." Weeser replied rather scruffily.

Yang Xiuqing didn't say anything about Wei Ze's words, but continued: "But I don't know who Brother Wei's subordinates have made a lot of contributions, but are there any people who want to be promoted?" ”

Wei Ze told Wei Changrong, Hu Chenghe and other major subordinates about their merits, and thought that they could be promoted again.

"Who of these people has the most credit?" Yang Xiuqing asked.

"Wei Changrong has the greatest credit." Weese replied.

Yang Xiuqing thought for a while before continuing: "Brother Wei, when King Nan ordered you to go south, I was actually very reluctant. It's just that the king of the south is very firm, and I can't refute the face of the king of the south. The 3oo people you brought said more or less, and said a lot less. When I attacked Guilin, I thought of you many times. I feel that if you are still in the army, with your ability, I am afraid that this Guilin will have already been defeated. I regret letting you go south at that time. But looking at it now, the king of the south is right to let you go south. This time, King Nan ascended to heaven in Lingyidu, if he was still there, he would definitely be extremely happy to see Brother Wei make such a great achievement. ”

Speaking of Feng Yunshan's death in battle, Wei Ze also felt quite regretful. Feng Yunshan has a steady personality, does things meticulously and thoroughly, does not fight for merit, does not seize power, and is deeply loved by everyone. His death was indeed a great loss for the Taiping army. Since Yang Xiuqing mentioned Feng Yunshan, Wei Ze said: "King Dong, my subordinates are also extremely sad to learn that King Nan has ascended to heaven. The subordinates heard that it was a Qing demon leader named Jiang Zhongyuan who killed the king of the south, and if the subordinates met this person in the future, they would definitely kill him to avenge the king of the south. But King Dong, you are the leader of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even if the Southern King ascends to heaven, as long as you are here, our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will not fall. Knowing that the East King was safe and sound, his subordinates were really happy in their hearts. ”

This sycophant is unscrupulous, and the loyalty is extremely explicit. Yang Xiuqing was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then smiled helplessly. He asked, "Does Brother Wei want to return to me?" ”

"Exactly!" Weese replied immediately.

"But you can't do it!" Yang Xiuqing put away a wry smile and said, "King Nan ascended to heaven, I will take over this palace and the baggage holy treasury, but a fierce general like you can't be placed in the Chinese army." You say you have 3,500 men, don't you? ”

"Yes!" Weeser already felt that something was wrong.

"How many old and weak women are there?" Yang Xiuqing then asked.

"Six hundred."

Yang Xiuqing said with a straight face: "You first organize these 600 people into the Chinese army and women's battalion. Among the remaining 2,900 people, Wei Changrong was the brigade commander and led more than 500 people. Since you have vigorously promoted Wei Changrong, I will promote Wei Changrong to the rank of military commander and incorporate him into my Chinese army. You now have a lot of soldiers, so you can send another 500 men to the Chinese army. ”

With such an arrangement, Wei Ze's direct subordinates changed from 3,500 to 1,900 in the blink of an eye. When Wei Ze was shocked, he heard Yang Xiuqing continue: "Brother Wei, the King of the West values you very much, and he has said several times on the way from Yongzhou to Daozhou that he wants to take you to his subordinates. A fierce general like you should have charged into battle, and it was best to be under the West King. I promised him, and when I arrived in Daozhou, I will assign you to his subordinates. ”

"East King!" Wei Ze didn't want to be kicked like a ball, he said quickly.

Yang Xiuqing interrupted Wei Ze's words, "Brother Wei, you are my subordinate, I naturally know it very well." When I transferred you to the king of the south, I sent you to the king of the south. Now I command you to go to the king of the west. You are my subordinate, and the king of the West is also my subordinate. If you're going to tell me next that you don't want to go to the North King, then shut up now. ”

Wei Ze saw that Yang Xiuqing's attitude was so tough, and he knew that it was useless to say anything, so he stood up depressedly, "My subordinates follow the will of King Dong." ”

Yang Xiuqing looked at Wei Ze's aggrieved look, and couldn't help but laugh again, "Brother Wei, you're only 19 this year." ”

"Yes." Weser replied unhappily.

Yang Xiuqing continued: "You are 19 years old, and you are already the prime minister of my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, waiting for us to build the Little Heavenly Kingdom and build the Little Heavenly Kingdom. At that time, it was not only the prime minister, but it was not uncommon to be crowned king. ”

Yang Xiuqing's tone had a strong taste of persuasion, Wei Ze didn't care about his being crowned king in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, what he cared about was overthrowing the Manchus. And although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was vigorous, it was not able to complete this task in the end. Wei Ze didn't care whether he could be crowned king or not, what he cared about was whether he could fight independently. When he was under Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, Wei Ze basically fought independently, so he was able to pull up the troops of his current size. Moreover, this unit was subjected to preliminary training for the modern army. If he went to Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, Wei Ze couldn't believe that he would have such a free opportunity.

Yang Xiuqing saw that Wei Ze was still unhappy, he also stood up and walked to Wei Ze's side, patted Wei Ze's shoulder, Yang Xiuqing lowered his voice and said, "Brother Wei, you are my subordinate, and King Xi is also my subordinate." Even if you are assigned to the king of the west, if I ask you to do something, will the king of the west still be able to stop it? But if you don't go to the king of the west now, how can I give an explanation to the king of the west? You're the prime minister now, don't be as angry as a child! ”

Since Yang Xiuqing said so heartfelt, Wei Ze couldn't be awkward any longer, he said with an unhappy expression: "My subordinates obey the will of the East King!" ”

It's natural to be unhappy in my heart because I can't fight independently, but Wei Ze's expression at this time is completely different from my heart. Yang Xiuqing just said that Xiao Chaogui and Wei Ze were Yang Xiuqing's subordinates. This is actually a real indication of attitude. As far as Wei Ze knew, Yang Xiuqing's position in the God Worship Sect before the rebellion was under Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui. In the subsequent war, Yang Xiuqing relied on his own ability and stepped step by step to the position of the political and military leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. And he regarded Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, as his subordinate, which was Yang Xiuqing's expression of establishing his position even more.

Wei Ze was very optimistic about Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East who did not believe in God worship at all. Although Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui did not really believe in the God Worship Sect, they both preached with Hong Xiuquan, and they had an inevitable common position with the God Worship Sect. However, Yang Xiuqing has little to do with the God Worship Cult. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is regarded as a company, Hong Xiuquan, Feng Yunshan, and Xiao Chaogui can be regarded as shareholders who adhere to the company's "cultural concept", but because the company is short of manpower, they have to personally participate in the company's operation. And Yang Xiuqing is undoubtedly the general manager of the company, the executive officer in charge. Since Wei Ze's goal was to overthrow the Manchus, he had to support Yang Xiuqing to the greatest extent possible.

Yang Xiuqing was busy with official business, and seeing that Wei Ze had accepted the order, he drove Wei Ze away. Wei Ze's troops were stationed outside Yongzhou City at this time, so Wei Ze walked slowly towards the camp. While walking, he recalled Yang Xiuqing's actions. The more I thought about it, the more I felt that Yang Xiuqing's handling was very exquisite.

first divided a part of Wei Ze's troops to Yang Xiuqing, which naturally strengthened Yang Xiuqing's direct subordinates. and then assigned Wei Changrong, the most capable of Wei Ze's subordinates, and Wei Changrong's direct troops to Yang Xiuqing's Chinese army, and at the same time achieved the goal of balancing the master and slave. and then transferred Wei Ze to Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, and better balanced the overall situation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Although he didn't dare to tell outsiders, Wei Ze also made every effort to analyze the system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Yang Xiuqing led the kings, although it strengthened Yang Xiuqing's position, but the kings were also checking and balancing Yang Xiuqing's power. And the biggest beneficiary of this system is undoubtedly the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. If you look at it from this point of view, Hong Xiuquan must maintain the normal operation of this system.

Thinking of this, Wei Ze's face couldn't help but smile. In the 21st century, the general manager led the division managers to rebel and overthrow the chairman, which is really not too much. If this really happened, Weeser knew that he must be one of the division managers involved in the rebellion. You can't go wrong with that.
