Hong Xiuquan settled down in Yong'an, and a few days later summoned Yang Xiuqing and Feng Yunshan to discuss the affairs of the kingdom of heaven.

Yang and Feng waited in the hall for a while, and Hong Xiuquan walked in from the back hall.

"Let the two Aiqing wait for a long time." Hong Xiuquan walked in with a smile on his face, he was always disturbed by the war in Jintian Village, and this time he could finally sleep peacefully in Yong'an.

"Yes, hooray." Yang and Feng were about to kneel down and salute.

"Excuse me, excuse me, if there are no outsiders, we don't want these false courtesies." Hong Xiuquan attaches great importance to them, this Wen Yiwu is his right-hand man, and he is an important minister of the kingdom of heaven.

"It's been a few days since I entered Yong'an, what's the important thing?" Hong Xiuquan looked at the two.

"I have good news here to tell long live, our Taiping calendar can finally be used after such a long time." Feng Yunshan was very excited, he began to study this calendar in the prison of Xiangzhou. Since then, I have continued to consult books and experiment and improve, and I can basically use it at this moment.

"Yunshan, when we were young, we knew that you would calculate the astrological calendar, but I didn't expect to really get it for you, how did you get it?" Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed, although he had already established the country, he did not have his own calendar. This is very embarrassing, I have built a new dynasty, how can I still use the calendar of the Qing Demon?

"This set of celestial calendars is based on the ancient method of the year, month, and day of the Ganzhi, but it is not the lunar calendar. The minister made the calendar, with 366 days as a year, the 31st day of a single month, and the 30th day of a double month. The beginning of spring, Qingming, mangzhong, the beginning of autumn, cold dew, heavy snow are all 16 days, and the rest are 15 days. Referring to the Western calendar, every seven days is a week, and there are Sundays. The average day of the Taiping is perfect, and there is no deficiency. Feng Yunshan was very satisfied with the celestial calendar he had created.

"It is very good, let us date in our own way, and this country will be more justified. Let's be Zhengshuo in the future, see how the Qing demon calls us bandits? Feng Aiqing, you have made a great contribution this time. Hong Xiuquan is well aware of the importance of having his own calendar for the country. In Chinese history, the acceptance of the calendar of the suzerainty by the surrounding vassals was equivalent to the recognition of the suzerainty of the suzerain. The calendar is of great political importance to the regime.

"Great, wait for the next court, I'll let the clerks go to Feng Junshi to learn our own calendar." Yang Xiuqing is also very happy, the documents have always been written according to the calendar of the Qing Dynasty, how awkward it is to read.

Yang Xiuqing then said: "The minister has some city defense matters to report here, and the minister has arranged them outside Yong'an City。。。。。。 ”

"There is no need to say much about military matters, Aiqing can make up her own mind, and there is no need to tell you." Hong Xiuquan still trusts Yang Xiuqing very much, and without him, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would not be able to go today.

"In addition to these, there are two more documents to be signed. This is to let the soldiers hand over the gold, silver, jewelry, and silk treasures obtained from killing demons, and they must not hide their personal interests. The second is to count the merits of the war, and to reward the meritorious soldiers according to their merits. Yang Xiuqing said unhurriedly.

"Aiqing said very well, we have gained a lot from several battles, especially to build such a big city as Yong'an. I've also heard that some people don't hand over their secrets, and such signs must be nipped in the bud. If everyone hides their secrets, it will not be enough for us to build a golden mountain, and our strength will not be concentrated in one place, and we will not have the strength to fight against the Qing Demon. Hong Xiuquan very much agreed with Yang Xiuqing's suggestion, "It is also necessary to reward meritorious deeds, but it must be fair and just, and honest people must not be allowed to suffer, otherwise no one will be willing to die on the battlefield in the future." ”

"Before coming to Yong'an, many of our brothers sacrificed their lives for the kingdom of heaven, should we also reward them?" Feng Yunshan opened his mouth on the side and proposed.

"I agree." Yang Xiuqing immediately agreed that only by rewarding the dead can the living be reassured, which is very helpful to morale.

"Give it to their children, and give to their relatives what they have no children. Not only to reward, but also to seal the official, they can't enjoy it when they die, they can also leave it to their children, and the official position allows their children to be hereditary. Although Hong Xiuquan said that he likes to enjoy, he is also quite generous to the people below. Especially with such a high hat as an official position, don't spend your own money anyway, give it to the brothers, and everyone will be happy.

"In addition, it is time to knight our old brother, and this matter should not be delayed. Now that we have settled down, we should simply seal them together, which is also the purpose of my summons today. Hong Xiuquan suddenly spoke, "I asked Chen Chengying to draft a title list according to my wishes. I am called the king of heaven, the four military advisors have made great contributions, and they are divided into four kings, east, west, north and south, and Da Kai has always been a whimsical man, so I gave him a pair of wings and was crowned the king of wings. Do you guys have anything to add? ”

Yang Xiuqing and Feng Yunshan took the edict drafted by Hong Xiuquan and stepped forward to watch.

On the edict, it was written in black and white, "Hong Xiu's full name is the King of Heaven, long live; Yang Xiuqing was named the king of the East, called 9,000 years old, and governed the eastern countries; Feng Xiao Chaogui was the king of the West, called 8,000 years old, and ruled over Western countries; Feng Yunshan was named the king of the south, called 7,000 years old, and ruled the southern countries; Feng Wei Changhui is the king of the north; He is called six thousand years old, and rules over the northern countries; Feng Shi Dakai is the winged king, called 5,000 years old, winged heavenly dynasty. All the kings of the above titles were subject to the control of the king of the east. ”

The order on the edict was still in the order of the divisions of the four armies at that time, and it did not change. But Yang Xiuqing was very satisfied when he saw that "all the kings sealed above were controlled by the king of the east", which was equivalent to Hong Xiuquan officially establishing his position under one person and above ten thousand people.

There is also the ranking of the marquis at the back of the edict: "Feng Qin Rigang is the Marquis of Dingtian, Feng Hu Yihuang is the Marquis of the Protector, Chen Chengying is the Marquis of Xingguo, Lin Fengxiang is the Marquis of Jinghu, Li Kaifang is the Marquis of Dinghu, Yang Xiaoshan is the Marquis of Tongtian, Huang Yiyun is the Marquis of Destroying Hu, and Feng Meng Deen is the Marquis of Zantian。。。。。。 ”

When Yang Xiuqing saw Yang Xiaoshan's ranking, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said loudly: "Since the Heavenly King has sealed Xiaoshan Tongtianhou, why don't you write his name at the front?" Since it is already through the sky, it is naturally higher than the top of the sky. ”

Feng Yunshan was stunned for a moment, this Yang Xiuqing was so bold that he dared to have an opinion on the edict, the Heavenly King was just polite, he smiled and said: "Xiaoshan is still young after all, if he ranks first, I am afraid that some people will not accept it." ”

"Not convinced? Who would dare to disagree? Since the Jintian Uprising, he has killed the deputy general Yiketambu, killed the general Qin Dingsan, killed the traitor Zhang Zhao, killed the brother of Ulantai Wulankang, killed the staff leader Ma Shanbao, captured the Yong'an prefect Wujiang, attacked Yong'an to seize the grain depot, and defeated the Guangxi governor Xiang Rong, none of these things have anything to do with him. If such a talent is not placed in the first place, who can still be placed in the first place? Yang Xiuqing counted the credits of Xiaoshan one by one, and even Hong Xiuquan was secretly surprised, he couldn't imagine that the inconspicuous Yang Xiaoshan had made so many contributions.

"It's my negligence, I can't imagine that this Yang Xiaoshan is not only talented, but also a lucky general. Wherever he goes, my Celestial Empire will win. Okay, just follow the king of the east and rank Yang Xiaoshan first among the marquises. Hong Xiuquan didn't have any unhappiness, and happily picked up the pen and hooked Yang Xiaoshan to the first place in the marquis's list. If it were someone else, he might still suspect Yang Xiuqing of nepotism, but Yang Xiaoshan's credit was over there, and Hong Xiuquan also felt that Yang Xiuqing's suggestion was right.
