Dongwangfu, this military meeting was the lowest morale since entering Yong'an. The Taiping army in Yong'an was almost in a desperate situation. Everyone drooped their heads, was silent, and after a series of failures, Yongan has become a lonely city, and the situation has reached a critical moment.

"This battle is really unfought, I don't know when Xiang Rong, the old thief, will come back, and he will bring a large number of demons and heavy artillery. They learned to be obedient this time, no matter how much we harassed them, they didn't rush forward, and they used the fire of heavy artillery to advance layer by layer, and the defenders to the north of me had retreated to the south bank of the Shangyang River, and stationed at the mouth of Chashan Chongkou, behind which Yong'an had no way to retreat. Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, pulled the turban on his head, irritable, he had never fought such an aggrieved battle.

"My situation here is similar, the firepower of the Qing Demon is too fierce, we gave up Luanling and Tongpan Village, and retreated to the Huangqiao area. I'm afraid that it won't take many moments, and it is estimated that even the Yellow Bridge will not be able to hold it. Wing King Shi Dakai also looked very depressed, changing his heroic appearance in the past.

"The Qing Demon's cannonballs have hit Yong'an City many times, and each time we have to fire back to force it back. Today I sent someone to get gunpowder, why did the treasury say that the supply would be halved, what is going on? "Wei Changhui, who is in charge of the city defense, has also been busy recently, and the Qing demons have repeatedly invaded Yong'an City, making a lot of trouble for everyone in the city. The Heavenly King didn't dare to live in the mansion now, and he went to sleep in the tunnel at night.

"Our channel is broken, you don't need to ask about this, in short, the supply of gunpowder and salt will be halved in the future, and it won't last long." Yang Xiuqing knew about the scriptures, but this scriptures were also very thieves, seeing that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was declining, he was afraid that he would be implicated in the future, so he immediately cut off contact with them, and killed the pro-soldiers who were in charge of trading with the Taiping army, and let him carry the black cauldron.

After Yang Xiuqing finished speaking, everyone was silent again, and now they are in a dilemma both internally and externally.

"Trees move the dead and the living, I know everyone has this idea, so I'll open this mouth. Yong'an is a place where there are few people and few places, and it is not an ideal place for me to become a big thing in heaven, so let's take a long-term view and break through to find a broad sky. Yang Xiaoshan first proposed. He knew it was time to leave Yong'an.

The others nodded again and again when they heard this, they would never be able to hold on to being beaten so passively one day, it was better to leave in time and jump out of here, but there would be a glimmer of life.

"Xiaoshan is right, and this king agrees with him. Is there anyone against it? Yang Xiuqing glanced at everyone present.

Generally speaking, people in this era are more conservative, Yong'an has been staying for half a year, everyone is already very familiar with this place, if it is not a last resort, everyone is reluctant to leave here.

But now there is no objection, because everyone realizes that if they stay here any longer, they will really sit still.

"Then let's discuss where to break through and where to settle down?" Yang Xiuqing asked.

"Why don't we go back to Jintian, we know each other over there, we are all from the villagers, and it is easy to communicate." Someone suggested.

But there were very few people who agreed, and the Jintian side was too barren, and after so many battles, there were many fewer people. Most of the people who are willing to follow the kingdom of heaven have also followed, and there is not much point in going back.

"How about we go south to Wuzhou and then march to Guangdong?" Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, opened his mouth and said, he is from Guangdong, and Guangdong is still very rich.

"Most of our Taiping Army are Hakka, and there are many people in Guangdong and their influence is great, which is not conducive to our development. I disagree. "Shi Dakai is a Hakka, and most of the Taiping Army are Hakka. The dispute between the Turks and the Turks was very serious in that era, and the two sides often fought with each other, and water and fire were incompatible. (The earthwork is the first resident, and the guest is the second resident, similar to the locals and outsiders)

"I also disagree, Guangdong's regimental training is much more powerful than ours, and many Guangdong sectarians wanted to come over and join our Taiping Army, but most of them were intercepted. When we enter Guangdong, we will face even greater difficulties. Yang Xiuqing disagreed.

"If we want to build a small paradise, of course, we must choose a rich area, and only by having more food can we achieve the great cause of our heavenly kingdom. We might as well take a long-term view, Nanjing is located in the south of the Yangtze River, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, since ancient times, we can first go north to Hunan, along the Yangtze River all the way east to kill the past, and finally build the capital in Nanjing, set up our little paradise. Yang Xiaoshan knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would have its capital in Nanjing in the future, so he simply brought it up first.

"Nanjing is a good place, in the past, the old Zhu family was the capital of Nanjing, and later the Northern Expedition took over the world. This lottery is not bad, and we must be able to do it too. Shi Dakai first agreed.

"There are a large number of brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society in Hunan, who have been rebelling against the Qing court over there in the past few years, if we pass, they will definitely join us, and our strength will definitely develop rapidly at that time." Luo Xuan said excitedly, Hunan Tiandi will continue to revolt, but most of them have not succeeded, and they are scattered all over the place after failure, as long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom goes, these people will definitely come to take refuge.

"Jiangnan, but it's a good place, the land of fish and rice, there is so much food that you can't eat it, isn't this a small paradise? Is it a little paradise? This feeling is good! Just Nanjing. Xiao Chaogui patted his thigh and agreed.

"We must march along the waterway, firstly, the water supply is convenient, which is conducive to supply, and secondly, the people who follow us walk very slowly, and all kinds of baggage are difficult to transport, only by boat to carry them, so that we can increase the speed of the march in the field and deal with the encirclement of the demons more calmly." Yang Xiuqing analyzed the marching route, although the road was relatively far, it was still feasible, and nodded.

Most of the Taiping soldiers were born from hardships, and they especially longed for a place where they could eat and drink without worry, and they had an unrealistically strong longing for a rich place like Jiangnan, just as Westerners thought that the East was full of gold. The king of the east agreed, and no one else had any objections.

"Then who will be the vanguard officer and open the way for my heavenly kingdom to break out of the encirclement? Did anyone volunteer? East King Yang Xiuqing asked.

This responsibility is too great, ordinary people can't bear such a great pressure at all, and the peril of the kingdom of heaven depends on this vanguard officer to save it. Now that the Kingdom of Heaven drags on for one more day, it will be dangerous for one more day, and the encirclement must be broken out as soon as possible. If you want to go to Hunan, you have to pass through Guilin, and if you want to go to Guilin, you must break through the Yulong Pass in the northeast, which is a gate of the Qing army.

In the past, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, and Shi Dakai, the king of wings, were all scrambling to share worries for the country, they were the most capable team in the kingdom of heaven, but at this moment the two of them rarely had no interface, during this period of time, the troops received blows from the Qing army again and again, and their morale was very low.

"What? No one wants to marry? Yang Xiuqing was a little angry, how did the Taiping army that was alive and well become so depressed, this should have been a moment of scrambling, why was everyone shrinking back?

"Why don't you speak? Dumb? No one wants to? Yang Xiuqing said angrily, a rare look of anger appeared on his face, "Yang Xiaoshan, you come!" ”

Yang Xiaoshan looked at Dongwang in surprise, and said secretly in his heart: "How could it be me?" I have hundreds of soldiers under my command! ”
