Chapter 488: The Women's Pavilion

Meng Deen looked back, it was no one else, but his old acquaintance Lu Deshun, this is also an old man in Guangxi, the general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Boat Division, who participated in the Jintian Shouyi, and he was coming over with a large group of personal guards: "Lu Deshun, you want to rebel?" Do you want to be from the demon? Why didn't you go? ”

Lu Deshun laughed three times before he said: "How can this be said to be a demon, I am a righteous person!" We didn't want to follow the Heavenly King's divine stick for a long time, but we didn't have a chance to pull the team out, not to mention that our relatives were all in Tianjing, but now it's okay, since the Heavenly King is gone, our opportunity will naturally come! By grace, do you want your brothers to die for that rod? ”

After the Tianjing Rebellion Wing King fled, the religious kingdom of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could no longer be maintained, and even to the point that people's hearts were scattered, and it was completely the high pressure of the Qing army and the clan relationship that made these old brothers of Liangguang follow the Heavenly Kingdom to the death, and it lasted until the final defeat of Jiaying Prefecture.

Meng Deen couldn't help but sigh: "But I'm sorry for the Heavenly King!" ”

His feelings for the King of Heaven are very complicated, but Lu Deshun said: "When we broke Tianjing, you also saw the fire in the city, and now tens of thousands of Guangxi men and women and their families in Tianjing City will also be burned?" Will you follow me? ”

When the Taiping army entered Tianjing, except for the suicide wave of a few Han people, the biggest military disaster came from the burning of the city, and only a few hundred people remained in the entire Jiangning Manying camp afterwards, so although Lu Deshun was an old man in Guangxi, he also wanted to leave a way for these Guangxi people to live.

And Meng Deen just asked: "Lu Deshun, what benefits did Liu Jiehu take to buy you." Even make you forget where you came from? I have been blessed ......"

He said very excitedly, although his skills were mediocre, but Hong Xiuquan's kindness was something he couldn't repay in his life: "From a humble background." He has no long skills, and he is appreciated by the king of heaven, and he only learns Zhuge . Don't learn ......"

It's just that the next moment, Meng Deen's fingers kept shaking, and he suddenly scolded: "Bullshit! Bullshit, it's all bullshit, Lu Deshun, you open the city to welcome Liu Jiehu, Lao Tzu is from it, don't hurt a single hair of my child! ”

Lu Deshun had long been in contact with several Taiping troops in the city. Therefore, when he heard the words of Monten, his heart rejoiced: "Good! Good! Good! Outside the city is Li Shixian, who is also the old man of our kingdom of heaven, and he promised never to add swords and soldiers to the old people of heaven, and never kill one more person......"

When Hong Xiuquan was leaving, he had already promised Meng Deen a position as prime minister, so Meng Deen also said logically: "The first important thing at the moment. It is to open the city, and then welcome the heavenly soldiers into the city! ”

That's right, now Liu Chang's rainbow army is a heavenly soldier.

In fact, the official opening of the city was about four hours after Hong Xiuquan left Tianjing City, and the city gate was opened. The defenders at the head of the city hung a red scarf on their arms as a sign of distinction, and Lu Deshun won the favor of Meng De to greatly benefit their righteousness, while although there were many Hong Xiuquan dead friends in Tianjing City, they had lost confidence and did not even openly conspire.

Anyway, it is anti-Qing, followed by Hong Xiuquan is anti-Qing, followed by Liu Jiehu is also anti-Qing, so like the last time Nanjing City was broken, the large-scale suicide wave did not come, only dozens of people committed suicide, and hundreds of people fled, the most important thing is that some of Hong Xiuquan's dead friends took advantage of the opening of the city, to break through to the west, the total number of troops before and after a total of thousands of people, they are ready to cross Wuhu, to Jiangbei to meet Hong Xiuquan - these people are the most loyal elements of the kingdom of heaven.

The infantry regiments, infantry battalions, and infantry companies of the Third Division of the Hong Army soon entered Tianjing City, but now the city has been renamed Jiangning, and the commander of the Third Division, Jin Peilun, and Jiangning Jingluo Yucun have finally returned to their theoretical station. …,

After three years, Kim Peilun has returned to the city, but now he has mixed feelings.

At the beginning, he and Qu Zhenhan had a grand plan, but when he looked back about these plans, he found that they were all just words on paper, even including the real masters of the city.

The city continued to prosper greatly, although the war and blockade that lasted for several years had greatly reduced the city's population from a million people to a fraction of its original size, especially the extremely difficult food problem caused many women and children to be persuaded and driven out of the city by the Taiping army.

But the city still has a population of hundreds of thousands, as Xin Qiji's poem Yongyule said, "Thousands of years, heroes are nowhere to be found, Sun Zhong seeks a solution." The dance pavilion is always blown away by the rain and wind. The grass and trees in the slanting sun, the ordinary alleys, and the humane slaves once lived. Think about back then, Jin Ge Iron Horse, swallowing thousands of miles like a tiger......"

There is a Qing generation, the status of Su Xin words is very low, especially the status of Xin Qiji's words is even lower, the Western Zhejiang School almost pointed at Xin Qiji's nose and scolded, and rated the most important lyricist in the history of Southern Song Dynasty words as almost useless, even in the Xianfeng period, Xin Ci is still generally non-mainstream, but in the folk, there are always those extraordinary readers who like Su Xin's bold words, Jin Peilun is one of them.

Things are not people, the once invincible King of the East has become a thing of the past, the Qu Zhenhan who directed the country has also turned into the past, and the only thing left is Jin Peilun, a third-rate strategist, but he is now returning to this city with many pride as a master and conqueror.

"Yu Jingluo, this is Lu Deshun, the general of the boat division!" He introduced his old friend to Yu Village, the Jiangning Jingluo, who he met during the Tianjing period: "When I came to Jiangning three years ago, I had a relationship with the Lu Deshun brothers. ”

Lu Deshun smiled, and he bowed to Yu Cun: "I've seen Yu Jingluo, I don't know when I can go to see His Royal Highness King Yan!" ”

When the two sides were negotiating, the old relationship between the two sides played a big role, but Jin Peilun himself was only an acting division commander, although he wanted to recruit some old Heavenly Divisions, but he knew that he could not overstep his authority, so he only dared to promise Lu Deshun to come over and be a regiment commander.

However, now there are a large number of people and horses who have changed banners in Tianjing, and there are thousands of old brothers in Guangxi alone, in addition, there are also a large number of old sisters in Guangxi and their families, plus the brothers and sisters of the two lakes and the newly recruited brothers and sisters after entering the Yangtze River field, the total number is as many as 100,000, and there are tens of thousands of veterans with combat effectiveness, which can be said to be an extremely precious treasure, which cannot be summarized by an infantry commander.

Therefore, Lu Deshun wanted to set his position as soon as possible, if he saw Liu Chang, he should have a better arrangement, but Yu Cun over there had more ideas: "That's right, you and I will go to Hangzhou to see His Royal Highness King Yan, and before His Royal Highness King Yan makes a decision, you must not touch a single grass or tree in Jiangning, and not a single soldier ......."

"Before His Royal Highness King Yan decides!" Jin Peilun also agreed with this idea: "The matter of Jiangning, whether the two of us say it or not, His Royal Highness King Yan has the final say!" ”

It's just that Meng Deen obviously thought too much: "Please rest assured, as long as you give us food, everything can settle down, we are already homeless, no...... This day the capital is our home! I ordered the women's hall to be rebuilt. ”

Rebuilding the Women's Pavilion? Lu Deshun said dissatisfied: "What do you want to do?" ”

The men's and women's branch library was one of the basic policies of the early Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and even to the extent that married men and women were executed when they had a relationship, so that although the generals of the Heavenly Kingdom had power in their hands, they did not dare to engage women, so they had to engage men, and they were often followed by several handsome men with special favors, such a policy was strictly adhered to even by the Northern Expeditionary Army far away from Tianjing, when the famous Li Kaifang surrendered, he still carried two sixteen or seventeen-year-old prostitutes by his side, and the people of the time said that these two prostitutes were as beautiful as women, and afterwards the monk king in order to retaliate, The two prostitutes were dug out and executed. …,

It's just that such a policy that violates human nature, although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be said to be the best peasant rebel army in the past dynasties on the issue of men and women, and even when Chen Yucheng rescued Anqing in the later period, the abducted scholars still found that the Taiping Army still maintained extremely high standards on the issue of men and women, but it was destined to not last, and in the end Yang Xiuqing could only cancel the men's and women's branches, and Tianjing City set off an unprecedented marriage frenzy after the fact.

The policy of men's and women's branch libraries has always been unpopular, and now that the old things have been brought up again, it is naturally even more unpopular. ”

Not to mention the Taiping Army, even Jin Peilun and Yu Village, the cadres of the Third Division, also expressed their incomprehension, and Meng Deen was fortunate to be favored by the King of Heaven, so he naturally had his general truth: "Now that the King of Heaven has left, dozens of concubines have been left in the harem alone, and there are many wives and daughters and sisters of the rest of the generals and soldiers in foreign armies, and there are innocent daughters in the city. ”

As soon as he said this, everyone understood that this Meng Deen's ability to pat Ma Fengying in front of Hong Xiu was first-rate, and usually others couldn't understand the myths and myths of the Heavenly King, only this Meng Deen understood as soon as he heard it, and now he hit the idea on Liu Jiehu.

It's just that these Taiping Army officers already understood his mind when they heard Meng Deen's words, but Meng Deen raised this point with confidence, and they couldn't refute it with confidence.

You must know that Liu Jiehu's lustful name has been spread to the entire north and south of the country, since this women's pavilion has nothing to do with his wife and daughter, then it's okay, Liu Jiehu likes his daughter, just set up a women's pavilion, Hong Xiuquan's shortcomings are in a bad woman.

Although there are eighty-eight concubines as decorations, Hong Xiuquan is definitely a not so strong emperor, and his energy and ability in this area are very limited, so Lu Deshun pushed the problem to Jin Peilun: "Master Jin, what do you think of this matter of setting up a women's pavilion?"
