Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the East Wangfu of Tianjing City. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yang Xiuqing, who has been in the deep palace for more than a year, looks a little pale. At this moment, he can be said to be very anxious.

Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, did not accept his summons, and now he is obviously self-reliant.

Yang Xiuqing made several statements to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, asking the Heavenly King to issue an edict, and directly Xuannan Wang led his troops to Tianjing to report on their work and accept the reward. Although he knew that Feng Yunshan would not come to Tianjing, at least he let many soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom, especially the old brothers of Guangxi, see his ugly face of betraying the Heavenly King and betraying the Heavenly Kingdom, which put him in a disadvantageous position in terms of righteousness. Otherwise, many old brothers in Guangxi, like Hu Yixuan and others, still think that the king of the south has never left the kingdom of heaven, but what is the hardship that cannot be helped.

Yang Xiuqing even suspected that some grassroots Guangxi brothers still had the Nanwang to develop and grow in their hometown of Liangguang, when would they be able to return to their hometown for a while.

Therefore, Yang Xiuqing wanted to force Feng Yunshan to express his position in the name of righteousness. As long as the King of Heaven issued an edict to let him come to Tianjing to meet him, whether he came or not, everything would make everyone in Heaven understand his intentions.

But the Heavenly King was worried about falling out with the Southern King, so he ignored it, and just asked Yang Xiuqing to seize the time to break through the Jiangnan camp and the Jiangbei camp, expand the territory of the Heavenly Kingdom, and at the same time, let Yang Xiuqing deal with the matter of Yan King Qin Rigang.

Yang Xiuqing knew that the Heavenly King also sensed Qin Rigang's self-reliance, so he let himself clean up this mess.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing was depressed again, and he couldn't imagine that he was a little defenseless and let Qin Rigang out, which caused such a situation. There are still too few generals around who can fight! The young general named Li Xiucheng, who was the same age as himself, was recently discovered, but it is worth paying attention to, and he will train him well, and he can be of great use in the future.

However, this Qin Rigang is really a white-eyed wolf who can't be fed! Like that Feng Yunshan, he also has the heart of self-reliance! Now staying in Liaodong, he has captured several prefectures and counties, and has gained a firm foothold. It depends on the next step, how the Qing Demon responds. On the one hand, Yang Xiuqing hoped that the Northern Expeditionary Army would continue to grow; On the other hand, they hope to be defeated by the Qing army, but it is best to let Zhu Xikun and them lead a living force to escape back to the heavenly kingdom. It's a very contradictory mentality.

But no matter what, Yang Xiuqing didn't want the elite Taiping Army in the Northern Expeditionary Army to get out of his control.

However, this Qin Rigang seems to be loyal and honest, but in fact he is very cunning.

Alas! There was Jiao Liang in the front, Feng Yunshan in the front, and Qin Rigang in the back, who constantly wanted to go out independently and establish himself as the king. Yang Xiuqing was in a nest, originally, all this belonged to the Kingdom of Heaven, to the King of Heaven and the Heavenly Father, that is, to himself.

Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing ordered people to summon Zeng Zhaoyang, Lu Xianba, Chen Zongyang, He Zhenchuan, Huang Weijiang, Liu Shaoting, Ji Chengzi, Fu Xuexian and other eight cronies who stayed in the Dongwang Mansion to discuss how to deal with the matter of Feng Yunshan and Qin Rigang.

The four of them soon came to the East King Parliamentary Hall. The four of them were all Yang Xiuqing's confidants, and Yang Xiuqing immediately expressed the doubts in his heart and asked, "Brothers, how should we treat King Nan and King Yan now?" ”

Zeng Zhaoyang blinked his eyes, he was extremely familiar with the king of the south, and the documents and regulations of the counties in the early days of the kingdom of heaven were all compiled by the king of the south, and he was also involved in it. Therefore, he admires Nanwang's talent very much.

Thinking of this, he said: "The king of the east is nine thousand years old, even if the king of the south has the intention of self-reliance, but he has not openly announced his separation from the kingdom of heaven, it can be seen that he still looks at the name of righteousness, why not take this opportunity to let the king of heaven issue an edict, first crown him as eight thousand years old, and then in the name of the king's 40th birthday, invite all the old brothers of Guangxi to gather in the palace of the king of heaven to celebrate, and invite the king of the south to come to tianjing together." I don't think he dares not to come! As a last resort, Zhao Yang thinks it's better not to tear his face. ”

"As for Qin Rigang, the lone army is in the north, and there are Zhu Xikun and Huang Wenjin here, so they can somewhat balance him. On the one hand, he directly ordered Qin Rigang to lead the Northern Expeditionary Army all the way to the south to fight back at Zhili, and at the same time sent a strong force from Tianjing to the north to respond; On the other hand, the king of the south can be entrusted to send a sailor to Liaodong to take it back to the Yangtze River area. ”

I have to say that Zeng Zhaoyang's vision is good, but his thinking is too ideal, and everything is based on his original impression of Feng Yunshan. He may not have imagined that the reason why the Northern Expeditionary Army appeared in Liaodong was that the Navy Division of the Expeditionary Army left it there.

"No! Prime Minister Zeng is also fallacious! It was Lu Xianba, the Marquis of Zhenguo, who had been by the side of King Dong, who spoke.

Lu Xianba joined the God Worship Cult when he was in the Bauhinia Mountain area, and he is also the patriarch of the church. He is coarse in writing and ink, and has compiled "Tiantiao Shu", "Three Character Classic" and other religious books together with Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan, and has always been valued by Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East.

He was worried that the King of the East would listen to Zeng Zhaoyang's opinion, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said: "Nine thousand years old, the King of the South has been independent since he broke away from the Kingdom of Heaven two years ago, and his behavior has long been no different from a rebellion. It's just that there are fewer and fewer old brothers in Guangxi under his command, but there are more and more bandits in the Heaven and Earth Society, and I heard that they have changed their doctrines, and they are actually not brothers in our sect at all. Therefore, his subordinates suggested that the king of the east forcibly order him to come to Beijing, otherwise he would be declared a rebellion! At the same time, he can reward his old brothers Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Chen Yucheng, Liang Litai, Lin Qirong and other generals under his command, even if they can't be drawn to heaven, they can make each other suspicious. ”

Lu Xianba is indeed ruthless, Yang Xiuqing's eyes moved, this is a good idea!

Lu Xianba then said: "As for King Yan, it is up to King Nan to act. If the king of the south is solved, according to the timid and cautious nature of King Yan, coupled with the presence of the two brothers Zhu Xikun and Huang Wenjin, he will definitely not dare to act rashly. Therefore, the subordinates think that it is better to concentrate on solving the affairs of the king of the south. King Yan is in the birthplace of the Qing Demon, which must make it difficult for him to sleep and eat, whether it is to attract the Qing Demon troops, or to let the Qing Demon spend money and salary, it is a valuable thing. Why not let the two brothers Zhu Xikun and Huang Wenjin strengthen their control over the subordinate soldiers, and it is best to order them to divide their troops and complement their subordinates, so as to further restrain the ambitions of King Yan. ”

I have to say that Lu Xianba's idea is very unique. Yang Xiuqing nodded and praised: "What Brother Lu said is very much in line with the king's wishes. ”

"That being the case, the king later went to meet the king of heaven and asked for a reward of 8,000 years of age for the king of the south, and he was limited to come to Tianjing within one month to participate in the celebration of the king's 40th birthday. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a rebellion from heaven, and everyone will be punished! Yang Xiuqing's face was straight, and he said majestically: "In addition, Feng Lin Fengxiang is the Marquis of Jinghu, Li Kaifang is the Marquis of Dinghu, Chen Yu becomes the Marquis of Pinghu, and Liang Litai is the Marquis of Hu, with a reward of 5,000 taels of silver each, and ten maidservants, and orders him to lead his troops to the north." ”

"As for the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, the soldiers were divided into three ways to attack the Demon Dragon's Lair. Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, led 20,000 troops and captured Fengtianfu City; Huang Wenjin led 10,000 troops and captured Phoenix; Zhu Xikun, the prime minister of Qiuguanzheng, led 10,000 troops to garrison Jinzhou and prepared to build a naval division of the Heavenly Kingdom. ”

Yang Xiuqing issued three edicts in a row, asking Zeng Zhaoyang to write the edict, and just wait for Hong Xiuquan to cover the Heavenly King Jade Seal before it can be officially issued.

……

Two hours later, Yang Xiuqing rushed to the Heavenly King's Mansion.

"The fourth brother is here, come and take a look, Mobao for the brother has grown again!" Hong Xiuquan didn't seem to remember that Yang Xiuqing hadn't read a book or could read words, so he said with a smile to Yang Xiuqing, who approached him.

"Oh, congratulations to the second brother!" Yang Xiuqing didn't break it, just frowned and said: "Second brother, I want our brothers to worship back then, but now that the king of the west has ascended to heaven, although the king of the south is here, he hasn't seen him for two years, as if he doesn't take the second brother and Xiuqing in his eyes." ”

Seeing that Hong Xiuquan was silent, Yang Xiuqing took a step forward, and then said: "A few days ago, I made a report that the Guangdong army under the command of the king of the south successively occupied the land of Liangguang and the five provinces of Munan, Chixi, and Fujian, and advanced half of Zhejiang. Why didn't the King of Heaven issue an edict and order him to come to Tianjing and bring those Cantonese soldiers and territories under the possession of the Heavenly Kingdom? ”

Hong Xiuquan was a little surprised that Yang Xiuqing was so straightforward today, and said: "Qing Pao, Nanwang is the third brother of me, but I can't think through it for the time being, don't force him to be too anxious!" Take the brother to find an opportunity to slowly persuade him to come to Tianjing to get together. ”

Yang Xiuqing was determined not to let Hong Xiuquan be so easy to dismiss.

directly took out the three edicts in his arms, handed them to Hong Xiuquan, and said, "Brother Tianwang, the matter is urgent, and you can't delay it." I also hope that the king of heaven will approve it, and let Xiuqing do the rest, what are the consequences, Xiuqing will bear it. ”

Hong Xiuquan shook his head, still not allowed.

Yang Xiuqing persuaded again, Hong Xiuquan simply closed his eyes and recuperated and silently recited the poem of his heavenly father.
