After the Taiping army entered Wuchang City, they did not release the Han captives according to the previous system. This time, the Taiping army screened and beheaded all those who had been to Changsha, which was to avenge the king of the west.

After a period of killing, the Taiping army began to restore order in the city, cleanse the bloodstains, repair the city walls, and build an earthen wall half a mile outside the city to prevent sudden enemy attacks. At the same time, a watchtower several feet high was built on Huanghu Mountain to monitor the movements of the Qing army, and once the Qing army intended to attack, it would sound the alarm and let the defenders go up to the city to defend.

In the city, the Taiping army also strictly disciplined, prohibiting burglary, robbery and rape, and if there was a violator, it would be punished. Step into a house with your left foot and cut off your left foot, and step into a house with your right foot and cut off your right foot. When the Taiping army first entered the city, several hooligans in Wuchang City also pretended to be the Taiping army to rob money everywhere, but they were captured by the real Taiping army and cut off their heads in public, maintaining the order after the Wuchang war.

Yang Xiuqing also checked the household registration in Wuchang, compiled the household registration, and seized the Qing soldiers hiding in the houses. According to the establishment of the Taiping Army, every 25 Wuchang residents formed a unit, which was managed by a single Sima. The men and women in the city were divided into camps, and all of them untied their braids and wore short clothes with the number of the kingdom of heaven printed on them. Among them, orphans, disabled people, and sick people who have no ability to live have also made arrangements and set up camps to manage food and housing.

For the wealthy merchants, the Taiping army let them make offerings for a limited time, and established a "tribute office". Tributes range from gold and silver, grains, to chickens, ducks, fish, and tea. IOUs for daily necessities, precious metals, and certificates of honor. Those wealthy families in Wuchang were afraid that the Taiping army would raid their homes, so they came to the public office with large bags of things to pay tribute. The highest man paid a tribute of ten thousand taels of silver to save his life.

For spiritual beliefs, Dongwang also did not relax, requiring all residents to believe in God, and smashed some Buddha statues and Guanyin statues. All of them had to go to the racecourse in batches to listen to the clergy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom talk about religion, the laws and policies of the Heavenly Kingdom, and carry out political mobilization, which was collectively called "reasoning."

Finally, he was almost busy, and Yang Xiuqing had time to summon Xiaoshan.

Xiaoshan has been waiting for a long time, and Yingzi's matter has not been dealt with yet.

"I heard from the guards that you came to look for me, is there anything wrong?" Yang Xiuqing asked, still thinking about things.

Yang Xiaoshan didn't dare to talk about the little girl as soon as he opened his mouth, so he could only make a detour and say: "It's nothing, I just want to ask when we will head to Nanjing, so that we can be prepared." ”

Yang Xiuqing raised her head and said with a smile: "What? Just laid Wuchang, so impatient? We have to stay in Wuchang for a while and take a good rest, you don't know that this time we have gained a lot! The treasury silver of this provincial city alone has reached millions of taels, and there is also the governor of Huguang, Cheng Xucai, although he is not in Wuchang, but his mansion is here, guess how much silver he copied? ”

"A hundred thousand silver?" Yang Xiaoshan guessed, because he knew that the Chang Governor's family had only copied out a few hundred taels of silver. 100,000 is already guessing in the highest direction.

"One hundred thousand? Xiaoshan, you underestimate the financial resources of these corrupt officials too much, and tell you that a total of three million taels of silver, which is three times more than the treasury silver of their imperial court. Yang Xiuqing smiled, so much silver was all cheaply given to the Taiping Army, can you not be happy?

"Three million?" Yang Xiaoshan was taken aback, these corrupt officials are really greedy, and a medium-sized family only spends a dozen taels of silver a year.

"How can this Qing court be so corrupt? My kingdom of heaven will take its place. Yang Xiuqing said and stood up excitedly.

"What are the plans of the East King?" Yang Xiaoshan knew that Dongwang was going to assign a task.

"You let Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang take 2,000 people respectively to capture Huangzhou and Wuxian, there are not many Qing troops in these two places, and they will have a defensive effect on Wuchang after they are defeated." Yang Xiuqing really thought it through and did not lie on the credit book for success.

"Okay, I'll let the two of them go when we get back." Yang Xiaoshan received the order.

"Also, you have to strengthen the strength of our Taiping Army as soon as possible, the weapons and equipment personnel must be enhanced, and the warships will be built more, and the Qing Demon will send us money, so we have to turn the money into greater combat power to rob them of more money." Yang Xiuqing said it sonorously and forcefully.

"We have money now, and this king plans to pull the entire people of Wuchang to Nanjing. We must have a population to establish a kingdom of heaven before we have the strength to compete with the Qing court, and now that we have money and the grain depot of the entire provincial capital, it will not be a problem to raise hundreds of thousands of people. "Yang Xiuqing's heart is really big.

"This Wuchang is estimated to have 400,000 people, plus the original team, there must be 500,000 people, let's take so many people?" Yang Xiaoshan admired the courage of the East King a little.

"So now we must hurry up and make the ships as soon as possible, and take advantage of this time to reason with them more, so that they will yearn for heaven from the bottom of their hearts and be willing to go with us." Yang Xiuqing continued.

"I heard that the king wants to go to Henan?" Yang Xiaoshan has heard some rumors in the past few days.

"The king of heaven really wants to go to Henan, he is a scholar, and he always feels that Henan is the Central Plains, where the orthodoxy of Zhou is. However, this king has already convinced him that in the land of the Henan Plain, our newly rising naval army has no use. What's more, we have no cavalry, and the Qing army on the plain is very disadvantaged, Henan is the land of four wars, there is no danger to defend, and Nanjing has the Yangtze River, the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, and the grain and grass are enough to supply our army, in comparison, of course, Nanjing is the most suitable for building the capital. Yang Xiuqing said very excitedly, it seems that it took some time to convince the Heavenly King.

Yang Xiaoshan said yes in his mouth, and guessed in his heart that with the stubbornness of the Heavenly King, it was not possible that the Eastern King used the Heavenly Father's tricks to "persuade" the Heavenly King. However, the king of heaven always thinks that things are not based on reality, and it is no wonder that he is resisted by the king of the east, the king of the east is responsible for so many people, and the king of heaven is only responsible for himself, which is too idealistic.

"Is there anything else? If you have nothing to do, step down, and this king needs to have a good rest. "Yang Xiuqing has been busy these days, and she has too little time to rest, and now she is a little sleepy.

"Xiaoshan has a little thing in the end, please ask my father for permission." Yang Xiaoshan knew that he had to mention Yingzi's matter at this time.

"Whatever you want, just say it." Yang Xiuqing was a little absent-minded.

"Qiao Niang has never had a maid to serve, recently Xiaoshan found a little girl who thinks it is very suitable, and wants her to be a maid for Qiao Niang." Yang Xiaoshan finally said the purpose of coming this time.

"Is it really for Qiao Niang? Or do you want it yourself? Yang Xiuqing's eyes were like torches.

Yang Xiaoshan had a ghost in his heart, so he didn't dare to look at him.

"It's just a little girl, you can do it yourself. Remember, don't be taken by others, you are the son of the world, and you can't violate the discipline of the Taiping Army. Yang Xiuqing nodded, agreeing.

Yang Xiaoshan breathed a sigh of relief, the East King has the most important military discipline, if it weren't for his great achievements, I am afraid this matter would not have passed the East King Pass so easily.

Leaving Dongwang, Yang Xiaoshan took the token and went to the women's camp to pick up Yingzi as agreed. He took out the gold collar and played with it in his hand, there were some words on it, but it was not Chinese, and he didn't know the tadpole shape, so it shouldn't be a Han thing.
