Chapter 5 Tokens
Liu Chang is not familiar with the official system of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the reason why he said that he is in the inspection point is that he has a vague impression of Li Xiucheng's confession, that is, Li Xiucheng said that he was "a small official at that time" during the Tianjing Incident, and it seems that he held this inspection position.
It's just that impressionism is unreliable, in fact, Li Xiucheng's confession said that the "official small" is not an inspection, but a command position one level lower than the inspection, in fact, the status of this commander in the heavenly kingdom is not low, and the young famous generals such as Li Shixian and Li Yucheng, who were elected after the Tianjing Incident to lay the foundation for the overall situation, were only commanders at that time.
As for the location of the inspection point, you can know the weight by looking at Jin Peiquan's exclamation: "But one of the thirty-six inspection points in front of the palace?" ”
According to the official system of the Kingdom of Heaven during this period, first of all, there are princes and princes of all ranks, but most of them are false lords, and the actual status is not high, unless they have the title of military advisor, but in the end of the Heavenly Kingdom, this military advisor can be said to be the most valuable title, and the number of kings is up to 2,700, but there are only 14 military advisors before and after, including the three symbols of the young east king, the young west king, and the young south king.
Under the prince and Guozong is the prime minister, the Yong'an system only has the left and right prime ministers, and when it comes to Tianjing, it has become the prime minister of the six officials of heaven and earth, spring, summer, spring and autumn, and less than a year from the six official prime ministers, and the four levels of positive, positive, deputy and deputy have become twenty-four prime ministers, but by the fourth year of Xianfeng, the prime minister is still a very important title, such as Zeng Tianyang, Luo Outline and other heavenly generals are mostly leading the title of prime minister.
Of course, the title of prime minister is the title of the fastest demotion in the kingdom of heaven after the Tianjing Incident, in order to stabilize people's hearts, hundreds of prime ministers were sealed in one go, and it was even more widespread in the later period, in order to strengthen the leadership force, five hundred people set up ten prime ministers, and an average of fifty people have one prime minister.
And under the prime minister is the inspection point, a total of 36 inspection points, don't look at the appearance of 36 people, the number is very large, has been excluded from the core leadership of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but most of the inspection points are very important generals, such as Meng Deen, Lin Fengxiang, Li Xiucheng, Li Yucheng and others, are all famous generals in the Kingdom of Heaven with heavy troops.
Under the thirty-six checkpoints, there are seventy-two road commanders, one hundred generals, ninety-five generals, one hundred supervising troops, etc., but when Jin Peiquan was in Tianjing, the daily contacts were at most some brigade commanders, supervisors and the like, who would have thought that the Kingdom of Heaven would actually send such a big man over.
The small temple of the Red Turban Army can't afford such a big god!
The inspection point is a big man who leads at least thousands or even tens of thousands of soldiers in the kingdom of heaven, but although the Red Turban Army has entered Yueqing City, it is only three battalion heads, more than a thousand people, and the king of heaven sent this Liu inspection point, where can Qu Zhenhan go?
If there is a dispute, who should be the main and who should be the secondary? The Red Turban Army was not a Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and a central commissioner could seize the entire Soviet zone.
Jin Peiquan's face changed, and Qu Zhenhan's face darkened: "The King of Heaven sent Liu Jian to participate in the righteous act, what a blessing, but Liu Jian has a token of the Heavenly King or the East King?" ”
He didn't want a minister to descend from the sky and override him as a generalissimo, even if Liu Chang could take out the tokens of the Heavenly King or the Eastern King, he wouldn't mind beating it well.
Liu Chang also knew that he had made a mistake in this inspection, and the thirty-six inspections in front of the hall were not just a petty official as he imagined, but a very important figure.
But he didn't back down, but smiled slightly: "Naturally, there is a token given by the King of Heaven, Qu Shuai and Mr. Jin can rest assured that the King of Heaven sent me to eastern Zhejiang to fully assist the Hongjun in the uprising. ”
His face was very calm, but there were endless waves in his heart, and he knew clearly whether he could grasp a little power, maybe it would be if he could break through the threshold in front of him.
It's done, he can be regarded as a character! If it doesn't work, maybe Qu Zhenhan will pull him out and cut him as a Manchu spy, so he patted the notebook bag on his shoulder: "The token is here, and I will let Qu Shuai see the skills of the Heavenly King later!" ”
Jin Peiquan's heart was still full of doubts: "When I was in Tianjing, why didn't I see Liu Checkpoint?" Liu Jian is an old brother in Guangxi? ”
Liu Chang really has too many questions, not to mention anything else, his strange clothes and hair are exposed, not to mention that he knows very little about the affairs in heaven, and there are always some flaws in his words, so Jin Peiquan, as Qu Zhenhan's mastermind, directly pointed out the doubts.
"I'm from Teng County, and I followed the Wing King when I was in the camp of Jintian, and I can be regarded as an old brother." Liu Chang replied very decently: "I live in the Heavenly King's Mansion all the year round, and it is normal that Mr. does not know my name." ”
At this time in Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, was in charge alone, and Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, lived in a simple place, and the civil and military forces of the heavenly kingdom rarely had the opportunity to see Hong Xiuquan, and even to the extent that the Qing Dynasty officials said that Hong Xiuquan was purely a fictitious person, Liu Chang's answer made Jin Peiquan unable to find fault.
As for him saying that he participated in the Jintian regimental camp and was a real old brother in Guangxi, although Jin Peiquan had suspicions, he couldn't rush to Tianjing to verify the origin of this Liu inspection point, so he could only ask Guan Jian point: "Where is the token of the king of heaven?" ”
He has already made up his mind, although the Red Turban Army was appointed by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom casually sent a checkpoint and wanted to take it away, it was purely a dream, and those who made great things would do whatever it take, and they could only be sorry for this Liu checkpoint when the time came.
Liu Chang patted his notebook bag again, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, this token was invited by Heavenly Father, and it has earth-shattering ability, how can you invite it out casually!" ”
said that Bi Liuchang clasped his hands together and asked again: "Now that the Red Turban Army has entered Yueqing, is the military food and military salary worry-free?" ”
These words can be said to the bottom of Qu Zhenhan's heart, and what he is most worried about is the military food and salary of the entire Red Turban Army. Although he is a local tyrant in the countryside, he opened a sauce grocery store, and he also has some industries, but he does not have much property, just opening a dyeing shop in advance to make flags has already made him lose his family property, fortunately, there is a prison student who wants to be the emperor to sponsor a fund, otherwise there is no need to cause trouble, he will declare bankruptcy.
Rebellion is a cause with great investment and high risk, and it is the exclusive cause of rich and handsome people like Li Shicheng and Yang Jian, and those who rise in recklessness like Han Gaozu and Zhu Yuanzhang are definitely an outlier.
At the beginning of the incident, Qu Zhenhan had already exhausted his brain for military pay and military food, the officials forced the people to rebel, most of the Red Turban Army were hungry tenants in Yueqing Dongxiang, and they could not even afford to buy a weapon for self-defense, so they could only take out farm tools as weapons, and they fell into extreme economic difficulties from the beginning, so Qu Zhenhan appeased them, as long as Yueqing City was taken, all this would be better.
However, taking Yueqing City did not make the Red Turban Army have any improvement in the economy, since he boasted that he would do benevolent and righteous deeds, and the autumn did not commit any crimes, then after entering the city, the Red Turban Army naturally could not levy any money from the residents, and could only find a way to make a fortune from the homes of these corrupt officials and corrupt officials of Deputy General Yao and Kang County.
The result has come out, although a lot of property has been copied, but most of it is floating wealth such as vase calligraphy and painting, land deed, etc., the Red Turban Army still has empty hands in his hands, and Qu Zhenhan himself has a lot of complaints.
So he blurted out: "What can be done by Liu Checkpoint?" ”
Liu Chang replied: "Qu Shuai can rest assured that this artifact of mine was invited by the Heavenly Father, and it has the greatest power, and within half a day of storage, there will be several months of military pay and military food." ”
Qu Zhenhan was really surprised and delighted: "Is there really such a thing? ”
As a local tyrant in the countryside, he is also well-informed, and he also knows the tricks of many gods and Taoist priests to invite the gods, and he can be said to be half-convinced of Liu Chang's words, but after all, he has limited knowledge, and he has superstitious psychology, and he has a bit of luck: "If you can raise a monthly military salary and military food, this commander is willing to obey the inspection words!" ”
Liu Chang patted his chest and said: "Qu Shuai rest assured, I am not here to demolish the stage in eastern Zhejiang this time, but to be a pawn in front of the Hongjun formation, if this matter is successful, Qu Shuai will send me a few personal soldiers!" ”
Jin Peiquan also spoke: "Liu checks that this artifact can be conjured into silver?" ”
He had heard that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother had gone down to earth in Tianjing City, and after a little inquiry, he knew that Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing had played a trick, and that there were countless benefits in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but worshipping God was not a good thing, but it was similar to the White Lotus Cult.
It's just that he and Qu Zhenhan never understood, Liu Chang's hands were empty, and he only had a black shoulder bag on his shoulder, how could he conjure up the Red Turban Army's salary and food for several months, you must know that the Red Turban Army has no less than 1,500 or 600 people, even if it is calculated according to the need for four taels of silver a month, it has to be conjured up with 6,000 taels of silver.
One catty and sixteen taels, six thousand taels is nearly four hundred catties, even if this bag is full of gold, it can't make up six thousand taels of military salary, right?
Could it be that this Liu Jian has any earth-shattering ability?
Over there, Liu Chang had already said in a loud voice: "If you want to invite the holy relics, you must first invite the fathers and villagers in Yueqing City to testify!" ”
Jin Peiquan was afraid that he would show his ugliness in front of everyone, so he immediately asked again: "Can you give Zai Xia and Qu Shuai a sneak peek!" ”
Liu Chang nodded, had already unzipped it respectfully, and glanced at the notebook inside: "It's okay!" Let's find a secluded place, burn incense in our clothes, and then invite the fetish! ”
He was glad he had bought a notebook with an extra long standby.
He remembered very well that in Yang Zi's house, the laptop battery was already fully charged, and now there were almost seven or eight hours of power, and he had to use these six or seven hours to maximize its effectiveness.
