Bauhinia Mountain, a winding mountain road, Hong Xiuquan and the generals of the Taiping Army returned to their hometown and told each other about the experience of these battles. After a few victories, everyone was in a very good mood. The mountain is still lush and green, and it is the height of summer, and all kinds of trees are rejuvenated, but they are growing upward. The small flowers under the tree, the famous nameless, red, yellow and other colors, are beautiful.

"Last year, we were still working here and preaching, and now we are the masters of this area." Feng Yunshan was very emotional, almost all of him developed in this area of Bauhinia Mountain alone, and he pulled out so many believers, and the hardships in it were really unbearable to look back on.

"yes, it's not easy." Hong Xiuquan was even more emotional, he was a down-and-out scholar before, but now he has called the emperor and become the emperor, which feels like a dream.

"Now the charcoal burners in Bauhinia Mountain are blessed, as long as they sell charcoal to our heavenly kingdom, we will exempt them from charcoal tax." Yang Xiuqing said with a smile, they used to be charcoal workers here, and the carbon tax of the Qing court has always been a big mountain on their heads, and everyone hates it. Therefore, as soon as the kingdom of heaven was established, this charcoal tax was the first to be abolished among all kinds of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

"No, the tenants of our heavenly kingdom are also blessed, those lackeys and landlords who have taken refuge in the demons have distributed their land to the poor tenants, and the rent has been reduced by half compared to before. In the past, they had to sell the grain for silver and pay rent, but now we will collect the grain, and they don't have to be exploited by profiteers again, so they are happy. Shi Dakai also continued the topic, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has indeed done a lot of good things in the local area.

"The land must be divided evenly, and women must have a share, and children under the age of sixteen must keep half of it." Hong Xiuquan instructed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom paid great attention to the equality of men and women, and men and women were the same.

"Everything in our kingdom of heaven is good, but some brothers complain that the rules of heaven are not allowed to drink, gamble, and are not allowed to **, and they are too tightly controlled." Wei Changhui muttered.

"We are all good believers in God, and we can't have those bad tendencies in heaven, and these regulations must be adhered to." Feng Yunshan immediately took over the conversation, and his tone was very firm.

"Feng Aiqing is right, Wei Aiqing, you have to talk to everyone more about the doctrine, we must not have any nonsense in the Kingdom of Heaven." Hong Xiuquan paused, "Everyone is tired of walking, the front used to be a land temple, and now it has become our chapel." There's also a grass pavilion in there, let's all go there and rest. He smiled and pointed to an old land temple on the mountainside ahead.

This grass pavilion is really well built, surrounded by big trees and a large area of greenery. The scorching heat can cool off, the bad weather can shelter from the wind and rain, and the climbers can rest their feet when they are tired, and worship the Bodhisattva by the way, of course, now it is to worship God.

There is a large stone table in the grass pavilion, and several stone benches are built around the stone table. Hong Xiuquan naturally sat on the upper seat, Feng Yunshan, Yang Xiuqing and other major generals sat around the stone table, and the others also sat on a circle of stone platforms under the pavilion in turn.

"Come on, come on, see what I've brought to you?" Hong Xiuquan beckoned to the guards beside him.

The guard approached, and he had a cloth bag on his shoulder, bulging and looking heavy.

"What is it, take it out and take a look." The crowd gathered around curiously.

The guards put the cloth bag to the side of the stone table, untied the rope on the mouth of the bag, and poured it into the middle, and the red jujubes rolled out at once.

"This is a northern jujube, we are a rare thing here, let's come and grab some to taste." Hong Xiuquan pointed to the jujube on the table.

"Emperor Xie, it's so big, it's about the same as a pigeon's egg."

Everyone was amazed, and happily took one and put it in their mouths and chewed, "It's so sweet!" ”

"Where are these good things?" Someone was surprised.

"Thanks to Yang Aiqing, we have won such a big battle. The landlords in the Guiping area were frightened and paid tribute to our heavenly kingdom, and this jujube was a tribute. Hong Xiuquan said with a smile.

"Where is the emperor, the minister is just planning on paper, and when it comes to credit, Xiao Junshi played beautifully. The heads of the imperial court and the prefect were picked off for him, and the two red tops can be heavy. After this battle, Yang Xiuqing's prestige in the army has risen even more, he knows that he can't run away from his credit, and he still mentions his brother more on this occasion.

"Xiao Junshi's establishment is not small, but this first merit is the first to push the stone general, he lured the enemy deep and let the Tartar into our trap." Feng Yuanshan also continued.

"Shi Aiqing, I'm a little curious, what if that Tartar is stupid and follows you into the valley?" Hong Xiuquan said curiously.

"The minister had already laid gunpowder on the mountain road, and when he dared to come in, he blew up the rocks and blocked the road. Xiao Junshi happened to follow behind with 6,000 heavenly soldiers, and his horse team couldn't show it in the valley, so let's give him an urn to catch turtles. Shi Da slapped the table and said excitedly.

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed, "What a turtle in an urn."

"However, in this battle, Qin Junshuai fought without authorization, causing the entire Dongling to be almost taken by the old thief, if it weren't for Hong Mei's tenacious defense, Xiaoshan would have reinforced in time, and the consequences would be unimaginable. The minister asked for Qin Rigang to be severely punished and rewarded Hong Xuanjiao and Yang Xiaoshan. Yang Xiuqing clenched his fists and asked Hong Xiuquan for instructions.

"Marshal Qin is also very meritorious, and besides, he was injured because of this, and he is still recuperating in bed, and I ask the emperor to spare him for the sake of his bravery and loyalty." Wei Changhui interceded for Qin Rigang.

"I know Qin Aiqing's loyalty, so I 。。。。。。 it" Hong Xiuquan pondered for a moment, considering that Qin Rigang was also an old man in the sect after all, he had to give some face.

"This is not good, there must be clear rewards and punishments in the army. This time, if Qin Rigang had listened to the previous orders of his ministers, such a thing would not have happened, and he would have asked the emperor to make a holy judgment. Yang Xiuqing insisted unrelentingly.

"Well。。。。。。 this" Hong Xiuquan was a little hesitant and embarrassed.

"Qin Rigang did not do it steadily this time, and he should be punished, but considering that he is injured now, it is not appropriate to use the punishment. Just write down the board first, and the emperor will send someone to reprimand him a few words, and then he will be tortured when he is injured. Feng Yuanshan stood up and mediated.

"This 。。。。。。。" Yang Xiuqing also wanted to say that if this board is recorded, it will definitely not be fought again after seeing the situation, there is no actual punishment at all, at least he should be demoted by one rank.

"I look at it according to Master Feng, and the matter of Marshal Qin is like this. However, Hong Mei and Xiaoshan, I think they should really appreciate it. Hong Xiuquan immediately changed the subject.

"The minister plans to promote the two of them to the first rank, Hong Xuanjiao will be promoted from military marshal to supervising army, and Yang Xiaoshan will be promoted from division commander to military marshal." Yang Xiuqing suggested.

"I don't agree." Hong Xuanjiao suddenly stood up.

Everyone looked at her in amazement, this is strange, how can she not agree with her promotion?

"Oh? Is it too much of a rise? Shi Dakai quipped.

The crowd burst out laughing.

"No, guarding Dongling is what a minister should do, not to mention that so many brothers have died, and the minister really has no face to ask for a reward." Hong Xuanjiao was saddened when she thought of so many brothers and sisters who had died in Dongling.

"Sister, you have passed Qianla, I have learned about the experience of Dongling, you have done quite well, you should be rewarded!" Hong Xiuquan waved his hand.

"I still don't agree with Yang Xiaoshan's reward!" Hong Xuanjiao bit her silver teeth and glared at Yang Xiaoshan fiercely.

Yang Xiaoshan's heart was empty, he didn't dare to look at her, he turned his face away, and his heart beat a drum, this is not going to sue himself now.

"Oh? Why is that? Xiaoshan arrived in time and saved you, why can't you reward him. Hong Xiuquan asked strangely.

"He's a scumbag。。。。。。 He used the method of the next three to sneak attack Qin Dingsan and stabbed him in the foot with a dagger! Hong Xuanjiao's words came to her mouth, but she still didn't say it, she really hated Yang Xiaoshan, but she couldn't find anything else, so she could only find such a lame excuse.

"Hey, then Qin Dingsan is the lackey of the Qing Demon, why bother paying so much attention on the battlefield, I think Xiaoshan is doing it right." Xiao Chaogui pulled Lahong Xuanjiao's sleeve.

Hearing Xiao Chaogui's defense of Yang Xiaoshan, Hong Xuanjiao was so angry that she couldn't speak. This cuckold is worn by everyone, and you still help him speak!

After all, Hong Xuanjiao's identity is special, and everyone is not very easy to express her position, although she doesn't say it, she can't help but have four words in her heart, "the benevolence of women".

"The minister is just the credit of running errands, the battle in Dongling was all commanded and led by Chen Yucheng, and Qin Dingsan was also killed by him. The minister really didn't dare and couldn't rob him of his credit. The emperor really wants to reward his ministers, just reward a few more red dates. Yang Xiaoshan hurriedly came out, he knew that Hong Xuanjiao hated him very much, in case he angered her, he didn't know what would happen, so it was better to go with her.

"Hahaha." Everyone laughed, and they couldn't help but think a little higher at Yang Xiaoshan, it was too rare not to take credit at a young age.

"Chen Yucheng is your nephew." Hong Xiuquan turned his face away and looked at Chen Chengying.

"Back to the emperor, it's really Weichen's nephew." Chen Chengying's face was overjoyed, and he hurriedly stood up and replied.

"Aiqing has a good nephew, a young hero, a talent, give him a military rank." Hong Xiuquan smiled again and said to Yang Xiaoshan: "It's up to you, you can take as many dates as you want, don't eat them and spoil your stomach." Hong Xiuquan also took into account that Yang Xiaoshan did rise a little fast, he was alone, he joined the church late, and he didn't fight much. If the people who are about the same rank as him are not the old people in the sect, or if they don't bring their subordinates and family property to join the gang together, they are too high for fear that the other old brothers will not accept it and affect the balance in the heavens. But Yang Xiaoshan had already given him an excellent impression, and it was only a matter of time before he was promoted.

"Emperor Xie, Yang Junshi's reinforcements this time are really beautiful, and the minister is just a little light, enough is enough." Yang Xiaoshan hurriedly thanked him.

"Reinforcements? Well said, what a fitting description! Hong Xiuquan patted Yang Xiaoshan's shoulder again, revealing an approving look. Yang Aiqing, how many people have made meritorious contributions in this battle, how to reward them, Aiqing will look at it, and finally give me a piece of music to see. Hong Xiuquan was happy in his heart, and everything was entrusted to Yang Xiuqing.

"Emperor Xie, there is one more thing about the minister, my heavenly kingdom has won consecutive battles, and there are more and more fathers and villagers around me who want to join, and the minister plans to let Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang go to Wuxuan County next door to recruit troops and horses, and strengthen the prestige of my heavenly kingdom." Yang Xiuqing said.

"There is no need to report these things, and military matters are all dependent on Aiqing." After several victories in battles, Yang Xiuqing is indeed talented, everyone obeys him, and Hong Xiuquan is also happy to be a shopkeeper.

"The minister also wants to go and select talents for our heavenly kingdom." Yang Xiaoshan interjected, did he really want to go, Jintian Village is so big, it is inevitable that he will meet Hong Xuanjiao again, who knows how this woman will fix herself, or find an excuse to slip away.

"Okay, you go with you." Hong Xiuquan agreed with a smile.
