"Bastard!" Hearing that Hong Renji actually persuaded the Heavenly King to surrender to Feng Yunshan, Xu Zongyang was so angry that he scolded on the spot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Nonsense! Hooray, please kill this thief! And Lin Shaozhang directly grabbed his arms and prepared to come up and catch this scholar.

Meng Deen was also shocked in his heart, this person was really bold, and he even dared to say such a thing. Others don't know that he has been serving by Hong Xiuquan's side, but he knows very well what the King of Heaven is thinking. If you want him to surrender to his former subordinates, it is impossible to rely on the extreme temperament of the Heavenly King, and it will also cause the Heavenly King's anger!

"Heavenly King, the younger brother is also sincerely thinking about the Heavenly King. Moreover, the Holy King promised that he would still respect the position of the Heavenly King in the religion, and the old brothers of the Kingdom of Heaven would also be used more heavily. This is a great opportunity, Heavenly King. Hong Renji's clumsy persuasion made everyone's faces change even more.

Sure enough, I saw Hong Xiuquan's gloomy face, his pale face turned purple directly, and he shouted directly: "Come on, this person is a spy sent by the southern thief, for the sake of his fellow villagers in Huaxian County, he will be exempted from the death penalty, but the living crime will not escape, and the guards will be ordered to detain him and keep him strictly guarded." ”

Hong Renji's face changed, he thought that he had a good relationship with Hong Xiuquan, and thought that he was also wholeheartedly thinking about his brother, but he didn't expect that Hong Xiuquan would treat him like this! He hurriedly asked the other two clan brothers next to him, Hong Renfa and Hong Renda, and his uncle Lai Hanying for help: "The two clan brothers, and Brother Han Ying, help the younger brother intercede and save the younger brother!" ”

Hong Renfa and Hong Renda themselves were unable to protect themselves, so they were demoted by Hong Xiuquan, how dare they say more, they could only look at this clan brother sympathetically, and kept silent.

And Lai Hanying on the side spoke: "Long live, Renji is also his own family, and he must have been bewitched by that side, so he will be treated leniently, if he is handed over to his subordinates or two Tianan, take care of them with him, and by the way, he can also ask for a little information over there." ”

Hong Xiuquan still gave Lai Hanying face, after all, he was his brother-in-law, and he was now the only defender of the territory except Tianjing City, so he took advantage of the situation and said: "In this case, Uncle Guo is busy with military affairs, so the two Tian'an will take care of him." ”

At the moment, Hong Renfa and Hong Renda were ordered to lead the troops to take Hong Renji down, and Hong Xiuquan said to Lai Hanying, Meng Deen, Chen Chengying, Xu Zongyang, Li Xiucheng, and Lin Shaozhang: "What did that guy say just now, let me lead the kingdom of heaven and return to the southern thief, what do you think?" ”

For example, today, the hundred officials of the country, headed by Meng Deen, hurriedly said: "Long live, the ministers swear to defend the kingdom of heaven to the death, long live loyalty." ”

As a result, Chen Chengying, Xu Zongyang, Li Xiucheng, and Lin Shaozhang also said in unison: "Long live the sworn follow!" ”

Hong Xiuquan nodded with satisfaction and said: "That is the case, now the troops of the southern thieves have already gone out on the northern expedition, and the southern thieves have seized Zhenjiang City, Danyang City, Yangzhou City, etc., which occupied the kingdom of heaven, as well as Anqing Jiujiang and other places on the western front, all of which have been invaded by the southern thieves. Expand the territory of the Kingdom of Heaven and defend Tianjing! ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, such as today's country's troops are weak, morale is low, and there is no food for soldiers, and the soldiers have no intention of fighting at all. You must know that many of the Taiping soldiers below now want to flee and join the captive army and take refuge in the King of the South, and the order of the King of Heaven will completely provoke their abandonment.

So, Lai Hanying first preemptively said: "Long live, no." Now that the army of my heavenly kingdom is insufficient, it is okay to defend itself, and if we want to send troops, we will have to consume a lot of food, but I am afraid that the food in Tianjing City will not be enough, and the people in the city will be hungry! ”

Meng Deen also hurriedly said: "Long live, if you send out the already small number of troops in Tianjing City, who will defend Tianjing?" Long live protection? If you want to send troops, you can only send troops from the Taiping Mansion. He was good, in a word, he pushed the problem onto Lai Hanying. The Taiping Mansion sent troops, which was naturally his Lai Hanying's business.

Chen Chengying, Xu Zongyang, and Lin Shaozhang also persuaded one after another that they could not send troops, as long as they held Tianjing tightly, first sent a small number of troops to collect grain around them, and when the grain and grass were sufficient, they would recruit and expand troops in the city, and then find an opportunity to go on the expedition.

Hong Xiuquan sighed, and he also understood in his heart that although what these people said seemed to be reasonable, they were simply perfunctory, persuading himself not to send troops.

Now the power of the traitor has increased greatly, and not only has he occupied the whole south, but even the north has begun to attack the city and plunder the land. Waiting for time on your own is just waiting for a dead end.

Could it be that these subordinates of his own are already planning to defect to the southern thieves? Hong Xiuquan became vigilant. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. They are all old brothers in Guangxi, and when the southern thieves lead the troops to Tianjing and surrender the city, they will be greatly meritorious, and the southern thieves will definitely be treated preferentially, so they don't want to attack the southern thieves at this time, so as not to surrender in the future! It must be so!

Suddenly, Hong Xiuquan was full of anger and said coldly: "What is your intention to resist my will and be unwilling to send troops?" ”

Everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect the Heavenly King to suddenly get angry.

"Long live, my subordinates are willing to lead the troops to the expedition and recover Zhenjiang!" Li Xiucheng knelt down and said.

Hong Xiuquan looked at Li Xiucheng, and secretly said that Li Xiucheng was loyal and led the troops well, but he only wanted Li Xiucheng to lead the troops to Tianjing, and only he led the troops to rest assured. First, Li Xiucheng was completely promoted by him, loyal to himself, and able to lead the troops, and secondly, because he is a newcomer, his prestige is not enough, and he does not have to worry about leading the troops to betray him, such a person makes him the most relieved, on the contrary, if the leader is outside, he is worried that he will not be able to suppress the old people in the army.

"Long live, my subordinates are also willing to lead the troops to go on the expedition, and if they don't lay a piece of territory for Long Life, they will never return to Beijing!" Chen Chengying suddenly said loudly.

Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed, Chen Chengying was an old man in heaven, with prestige, and it was most suitable for him to lead the troops. However, he is the nephew, but he is under the hands of the southern thief, he can't be unguarded, thinking of this, he said: "Xingguo Hou is loyal, so Xingguo Hou and Da Tianan will lead the troops together and go to Zhenjiang!" ”

At present, Hong Xiuquan restored the early system of the chief general of the five armies, named Chen Chengying as the chief general of the former army, Li Xiu as the chief general of the rear army, Xu Zongyang as the chief general of the left army, Lin Shaozhang as the chief general of the right army, and Meng Deen as the chief general of the Chinese army and the leader of the government. It was clarified that Chen Chengying would lead the troops to the battle, but Hong Renda would be used as the supervisor to monitor the army.

But not half a day after Chen Chengying sent out the army, Hong Xiuquan fell ill again, and he deliberately rushed to the Heavenly Father's Palace, pointing to the bronze statue of Heavenly Father and scolding Kong Qiu, causing him to fail to be admitted to Xiucai. Moreover, this time, even the national doctor Liu Chunshan couldn't wake up, and there was chaos in the Tianwang Mansion. In desperation, Meng Deen could only send someone to recover Hong Renda, who had sent troops with Chen Chengying, and invited Hong Renfa and Xi Wangniang, Hong Xuanjiao, Lai Wangniang and others to Hong Xiuquan to wake up the king together.
