After a few more days, Feng Yunshan was about to breathe a sigh of relief: the first and second batches of more than ten important subordinates all took the initiative to report the situation to him or specially or deliberately sent people to report the situation and express their loyalty. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info the people he values the most are at least fine.

At this time, an astonishing news came: Chen Yihe, commander of the 4th Brigade of the B, who was stationed in Yuanzhou Mansion, and Zhang Daguang, commander of the 9th Brigade of the 19th Brigade, who was stationed in Shaowu Mansion, Fujian, were preparing to lead the officers and men of the brigade from the garrison to the occupied area of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Among them, Chen Yihe and his cronies were taken down on the spot by the police department and the fine brigade sent by Fan Ruzeng to keep an eye on the people on the list, but Zhang Daguang led more than 300 people to leave the garrisoned Shaowuzhou and Jianning Mansion in the name of cooperating with the attack on Jinhua Mansion in Zhejiang, and entered the territory of the prefecture capital of Zhejiang.

…….

Chen Yihe was the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society in Guiyang Prefecture, and he led hundreds of people to join the Holy Army, just in time for the rapid expansion of the Holy Army, and was directly appointed as a brigade commander and division commander without much credit.

At the beginning, Chen Yihe was still cautious and abided by military discipline. But slowly, the habit of the head of the local council came out, and in the high position, there was a lack of restraint, so he wanted to pursue enjoyment.

But there are many rules in the army, even if Chen Yihe is the brigade commander, he can't say everything. Chen Yihe wanted to find a few women to indulge but couldn't do it, the brigade executive committee and deputy brigade commander in the army had too many constraints, especially the brigade executive committee member who believed that he was an old brother in Guangxi, although he was just a reckless man, he was a tendon and was foolish and loyal to the holy king. Chen Yihe tried several times to win over, but he was never successful.

The original Guiyang Tiandi congregation in the 4th Brigade was no longer very popular after being dispersed, and among the remaining 100 or so people, although they still respected Chen Yihe very much, they were not the same as before.

After the education and propaganda of the army and the fact that the scribes in the army often read the "Nanfang Daily" to promote the policy of the Holy Kingdom, these congregations of heaven and earth seem to have forgotten their original identity as congregations of heaven and earth, and have proudly regarded themselves as members of the army of conquests.

What made Chen Yihe helpless was that these original subordinates were already keen on their current status as soldiers of the captive army, and they were glad that the relatives in Guiyang's hometown could share one more person's land and pay half of the grain tax, and they had developed a deep dependence on the Holy Country and completely integrated into the Holy Country.

Chen Yihe received a secret letter from the Eastern King of Heaven, promising that as long as he led his troops to join the Heavenly Kingdom, he would be named the Marquis of Heaven. Chen Yihe had long been dissatisfied with his current life, he was ecstatic, and immediately secretly contacted the old troops and cronies in the 4th Brigade B, but what he didn't expect was that only a few cronies with less than 20 people were willing to follow him out of the Holy Kingdom and flee to Tianjing.

In addition, some of the rest of the old units also reported to the brigade executive committee of the 4th Brigade that Chen Yihe was preparing to defect, and the brigade executive committee of the 4th Brigade immediately reported to the meticulous work that had been monitored for a long time, and the meticulous brigade hurriedly set up control, and joined forces with the local police bureau to work with the credible officers of the 4th Brigade to arrest Chen Yihe and others immediately after they defected.

Zhang Daguang, the commander of the Ninth Brigade, is a native of Wuxuan, Guangxi, and although he is not an old brother of Guangxi when he was in the Jintian regimental camp, he can be regarded as a group of relatively old qualifications. He made a few small contributions, and he always felt that he was the best in the world, and his great mentality made him swell sharply. In his opinion, Li Kaifang and Chen Yucheng are lucky.

And even small minions like Lin Qirong and He Lu can be the division commander, although they are second-class divisions, they are also the highest-ranking generals in the capture army.

But what about him, the dignified old man of Guangxi, his merits were huge, and he was only awarded to a brigade commander who was still in the middle and bottom of the ranking, and he was a little angry at that time. Moreover, he was very dissatisfied with the Holy King's good reorganization of the Holy Religion and the change of the Holy Religion into a Chinese Revival Association.

He is a devout worshipper of God, in his opinion, those heaven and earth congregations and villagers who joined later are just foreign soldiers, especially Liu Changyou and Cui Datong, who surrendered to the Qing Demon, and the Holy King actually used them more than the old brothers in Guangxi, which made him even more dissatisfied.

It's just that because of the prestige of the Holy King, the entire Holy Kingdom brothers are fanatically worshipping the Holy King, so Zhang Daguang didn't dare to act rashly and waited silently.

Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East who was far away in Tianjing, actually sent him a secret letter, and he had an urge to cry at that time. Thinking of the Marquis of Bangtian promised to him by the King of the East, he decided to let it go.

Of course, he did not consider him a betrayal, and in his opinion, the Holy Kingdom had always been part of the Kingdom of Heaven. He was just transferred from the Holy King's "request" to the East King's subordinates.

It's a pity that Zhang Daguang secretly contacted several of his leaders who were close to him and asked them for their opinions on the treatment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but unexpectedly, only one of his clansmen expressed his approval of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The rest of the group leaders all felt that following the Holy King was the most promising.

In desperation, he could only forcibly convene the commanders of each regiment, saying that he had received an order from the palace that the Ninth Brigade would go to Zhejiang to cooperate in the capture of Jinhua Mansion, Hangzhou Mansion and other places.

Several regiment commanders didn't dare to say anything, Zhang Daguang was both the brigade commander and the brigade executive committee, and he had the highest status in the entire Ninth Brigade, and they just obeyed orders. Unexpectedly, the deputy brigade commander and brigade chief of staff, who were born in the Shonan Tiandihui, raised objections!

According to the usual practice in the army to capture the army, the dispatch order of several thousand troops of the entire division and brigade like this must be drafted by the General Staff Headquarters and signed by the Holy King, but this strange emergency dispatch was only a verbal order from Zhang Daguang alone, and there was no formal military order.

Moreover, the chief of staff of the brigade, who is familiar with the process of dispatching troops in combat, pointed out that the Saint King's Mansion is the assistant Saint King's handling of civil affairs and has no right to meddle in the movement of troops.

Zhang Daguang immediately changed his words and said that it was an order sent by the Holy King to convey directly.

However, the shrewd brigade chief of staff asked Zhang Daguang to call out the messenger sent by the Holy King to interrogate on the spot, but Zhang Daguang said that the messenger had rushed back to Guangzhou to resume his life.

Zhang Daguang's various abnormalities made the brigade chief of staff and deputy brigade commander already suspicious, and both of them questioned it, insisting that they could only send troops if there was a formal military order or a messenger confirmed that it was indeed the Holy King's personal order.

The commanders of several regiments also looked at each other and were suspicious.

At this time, Zhang Daguang, who was in a hurry, actually ordered the guards outside the camp to rush into the camp tent, preparing to arrest the brigade chief of staff, the deputy brigade commander and these regiment commanders, so as to forcibly order the officers and men of the Ninth Brigade to send troops.

Among the four regiment commanders, one immediately expressed his willingness to obey Zhang Daguang's orders. The other three regiment commanders, like the deputy brigade commanders, were all battle-hardened and not easily captured, so they resisted fiercely, and they were extremely brave. However, how could he be the opponent of Zhang Daguang's soldiers who had been prepared for a long time? They were soon wounded and captured, but let the deputy brigade commander run out of the camp.

At that moment, the deputy brigade commander immediately rushed to the military camp under his jurisdiction, summoned the battalion commanders to declare martial law for the whole brigade, and there was no formal military order, and all actions were strictly prohibited, waiting for the orders of the Holy King and the General Staff.

At the same time, Zhang Daguang, together with the regiment commander, announced that the deputy brigade commander was afraid of death and did not obey orders. At the same time, an order was issued to dispatch troops for urgent operations, and the officers and men of the brigade were ordered to set off immediately and march to the north.

At this moment, the fine work sent by Fan Ruzeng had been monitoring, and at this moment, he detected the internal movements of the Ninth Brigade and rushed to the barracks to assist the deputy brigade commander in controlling the situation.

As soon as the battalion commanders heard the statements of the deputy brigade commander and the detailed brigade, they all agreed to wait a little longer, waiting for the official orders of the Holy King and the General Staff.

Zhang Daguang asked his own soldiers to forcibly order the officers and men of each regiment to send troops immediately.

While the dispute was ensuing, two intelligence officers from the Intelligence Division of the General Staff arrived and loudly announced the arrival of the latest orders from the Holy King and the General Staff.

Seeing that the big thing was not good, Zhang Daguang didn't even want the troops of the regiment commander who was willing to follow him, so he and his cronies directly mobilized more than 300 troops directly under the brigade headquarters, including the guard company, reconnaissance company, and herald platoon, and sent troops overnight to flee to Zhejiang through Jianning Mansion.

The deputy brigade commander who reacted reported to the General Staff and the Holy King while leading his troops in pursuit.

At the border between Fujian and Zheqi, he found the brigade chief of staff and three regiment commanders who were discarded aside, but Zhang Daguang had a little conscience, did not do all the bad things, and did not kill the brigade chief of staff and others.

Entering the territory of Zhejiang, and pursuing further, he encountered dozens of soldiers directly under the brigade headquarters who refused to follow Zhang Daguang and defected to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At this moment, they had entered the sphere of influence of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and knowing that they could not catch up with Zhang Daguang, everyone returned to Jianning Mansion.

…….

Hearing the news of the defection of the two brigade commanders, Feng Yunshan was still a little sad.

Fortunately, there were no division commanders, only two brigade commanders.

He immediately ordered Chen Yihe to be escorted back to his hometown in Guiyang City and publicly executed for treason. At the same time, he also ordered the Xizuo Brigade to carry out a plan to eliminate traitors, and assassinate Qiu Changdao, who had betrayed the enemy before, and Zhang Daguang now.

However, Feng Yunshan's heart was still full of anger, not to these two brigade commanders, these two people were almost dead people, and Feng Yunshan didn't care about it.

What caused Feng Yunshan's anger was Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and really, he didn't provoke him Yang Xiuqing, and he bullied him to the end!

Originally, Feng Yunshan was still waiting for Yang Xiuqing and Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to fight, and then he would make a profit and come forward to clean up the mess! Now that his power has become stronger, Feng Yunshan feels that there is no need to wait any longer. Even if it was easier, it would allow him to receive the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom forces in a high-sounding manner, but Feng Yunshan was not willing to wait any longer!

Whether it is from the point of view of avoiding the fight between Hong Yang and the two, avoiding the blood flow of Tianjing, and reducing the heavy losses of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, or Feng Yunshan feels a sense of crisis, for the early rise of the Chinese nation, in a word, Feng Yunshan is anxious. He wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of the Anglo-French War in the Crimean War to unify the land of China as soon as possible.

And this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was located along the Yangtze River, was originally an ally to deal with the Manchu Qing together, but now Feng Yunshan's strategic layout has been constrained and turned into an obstacle.

Moreover, Feng Yunshan is already salivating for Yangzhou, Suzhou, Songjiang, Huzhou, Hangzhou and other areas south of the Yangtze River that are the richest in China. As long as these places are secured, it can be said that the Manchu Qing's finances and taxes will be basically cut off, and the seemingly powerful Manchu Qing will also be vulnerable.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan took a deep breath: no matter what Taiping Heavenly Kingdom he is, his holy kingdom will march into Jiangnan.

And these rich lands, Feng Yunshan did not want to be like in history, because the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were tug-of-war back and forth, causing the original paradise on earth to become a desolate land.

The rise of China is inseparable from the economic support of these rich lands. And Feng Yunshan, who came in later generations, could not tolerate this fertile land of the Han people and suffered heavy losses!
