Thanks to the ingenuity 86, Shenlin 8, I'd rather die on my knees, and the nine bachelors are rewarded!

The parade ground in Wuchang City, gongs and drums are noisy. This is www.biquge.info fourth "reasoning" activity after the Taiping army occupied Wuchang City.

Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, ordered people to build a high platform in the center of the parade ground.

Every day, he ordered people to "reason" on the high platform, and the scene was grand, and every time he struck the gong and called the people in the city and the new worshippers of God to come and listen, preaching the "merits" of the "Heavenly Father", the "diligence" of the "Heavenly King", and the "hard work" of the "Eastern King", so that everyone could wholeheartedly follow the "Heavenly King" and the "Eastern King" to fight the country.

Wing King Shi Dakai came out of the Wing King's Mansion changed from the Qing Demon Paste North School Administration, and was idle, so he took Shi Xiangzhen and Shi Zhenji and others to the parade to see the excitement.

At this time, the gongs and drums stopped, and the parade ground fell silent. "Reasoning" has already begun. But on the high platform, there was a person dressed as a scribe in his thirties, and Shi Dakai recognized it as Zeng Shuiyuan. It turned out that today he had come to preach the truth of the kingdom of heaven.

After listening for a while, Shi Dakai just wanted to leave, but saw a burly scholar suddenly push everyone away and defend loudly, refuting that what he said was to destroy Confucianism and Taoism.

Zeng Shuiyuan, who was on the stage, was embarrassed and angry, and ordered the Taiping sergeant to tie the person's limbs and head separately, and prepare five horses to divide the body.

The scholar smiled: "I died well, I don't forget Confucianism, and I can finally go underground to see my ancestors!" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan, who was furious, was "reasonable" or "unreasonable", and immediately ordered the soldiers to put him on five horses. Unexpectedly, the horse did not seem to be very obedient, and ran away without knowing it, and failed to divide the burly scholar.

Shi Dakai had just celebrated this scholar in his heart, but unexpectedly, Zeng Shuiyuan suddenly pulled out his waist knife from the Taiping sergeant next to him, and hacked the scholar who stood up to protest to death with one sword.

Shi Dakai couldn't help but be silent. Although he joined the worship of God, he felt that it was not a good idea to destroy all Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism, etc., all the way like this, and arouse the hatred of the world. But he is only the lowest-ranking Wing King, and the Heavenly King and the Eastern King are all asking for it, and they are powerless to change it.

Qin Rigang, as the vanguard, did not want to besiege the city, but he was busy burning down the Baotong Temple, Guiyuan Temple and Changchun Temple outside Wuchang City.

After delaying this time, all the demons outside Wuchang City were withdrawn into the city, and Chang Dazhen, the governor of Mubei, and the governor Shuangfu were cleared of the wall, and all the houses outside Wuchang City were burned, and the rest of the city gates except for Hanyang Gate and Wusheng Gate were all filled with earth and stone, and the stone bridges outside Wangshan Gate and Baoan Gate were also demolished.

As a result, the siege of the city in the early stage was extremely difficult, and the Taiping soldiers suffered heavy casualties. Fortunately, he then led his troops to arrive, using the method of digging tunnels, planting explosives, and blowing up the city wall of Wuchang, which broke the city.

Unexpectedly, the King of Heaven, who arrived at the end, thought that the biggest hero was Qin Rigang, who burned down the "Demon Temple and Demon Temple".

Thinking of this, Shi Dakai, who was uneasy, couldn't help but think of the king of the south who was far away in the south. He was originally depressed and angry, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

Oh, yes. No one could have imagined that King Nan led a group of old, weak, sick and disabled paiwei to occupy nearly two provinces in just over half a year, which was far stronger than the main force of the Kingdom of Heaven led by King Dongwang.

A few days ago, I heard from the captured Qing demon that the king of the south led tens of thousands of troops to unite with the congregation of the Heaven and Earth Society to attack the city of Guangzhou.

If Guangzhou is captured, the king of the south will completely occupy the land of the two provinces, which is something that the old brothers in Guangxi in the past dare not think of.

On the other hand, the king of heaven, the king of the east, led the main force of the kingdom of heaven, but let the kings, including themselves, compete for power and profit, and run around.

Originally occupied the land of Changsha, but it was still lost, but fortunately it occupied Yuezhou all the way, and now it occupies Wuchang City. However, Wuchang is the thoroughfare of the nine provinces, deep in the hinterland of the Qing Demon, and is attacked on all sides, so it is not a place of foundation. The king of the east has already revealed that he will abandon this Wuchang City after a while and march into Jiangning.

Thinking all the way like this, Shi Dakai unconsciously walked out of the horse reading ground, but came to a "tribute office" next to it.

This "tribute office" was set up by the king of the east himself after the Taiping army captured Wuchang City. In the four corners and the center of Wuchang City, a total of five places were set up to store the people's property.

Since yesterday, the king of the east has commanded the people of the city to pay all their goods to the public office. Not only gold, silver and jewelry must be paid, but also money, rice, chickens and ducks, tea, silk, and even pickles must be handed over, which is called "tribute".

After paying tribute, the Taiping army would issue a "voucher" to the tribute, with the word "tribute" written on it and a seal attached below.

The king of the east also stipulated that if someone hid something and did not hand it over, once it was found, he would be held down and spanked dozens of times until it was drenched in blood, as a warning. Therefore, it has only been a day or two, and because the extortion is too harsh, many people in the city have fled.

As for the big families of the official gentry, all of them were raided.

The ordinary squires were slightly better, and after all their belongings were confiscated, they also became ordinary people, and the Taiping Army didn't bother to pay attention to them.

Most of the official gentry and wealthy families helped the Qing demon to fight against the Taiping army, not only were all the family property confiscated, but the whole family was also captured, all the men were beheaded, and the women and children were assigned to the women's hall to engage in miscellaneous tasks such as pulp and laundry.

As for the Manchu bannermen, Han army bannermen and officials in Wuchang City, many of them committed suicide when Wuchang fell, and the rest were captured by the Taiping army, and they were all beheaded along with other captured officials and soldiers from He0nan, Shan0xi, Anman, Siqi, Yun0nan, Guizhou and other places who came to help.

Originally, for the imprisoned Qing soldiers who voluntarily surrendered, Shi Dakai suggested to the King of Heaven and the King of the East to recruit them as the Taiping Army.

But the king of the east thinks that the Qing demon is not credible, especially the Qing soldiers who are pursuing all the way from his province, they deserve to die, even if they take the initiative to surrender in the end, they will be beheaded!

However, for the sake of the face of the Wing King, for these local soldiers who surrendered in Wuchang City and the defenders in the city who took the initiative to surrender, they left their lives and acted as the vanguard of the Taiping Army's siege.

Two shouts interrupted Shi Dakai's musings.

But it was two female beggars with ragged clothes and dirty faces who were caught by the Taiping soldiers guarding the "Tribute Office".

Seeing Shi Dakai stop and signal, Shi Zhenji hurriedly stepped forward to ask.

But it turned out that two female beggars had no food, but they slipped into the "tribute office" and stole a few pieces of pickles that the people paid tribute to.

The Taiping soldiers of the public office wanted to send them to the women's hall, and the two female beggars begged bitterly. But although one of them was covered with dirt, he couldn't hide the beauty of his appearance, Shi Da moved happily, couldn't he be a lady from a big family, and escaped?

thought that once she was sent to the women's hall, her identity would definitely be exposed. Shi Dakai couldn't help but feel compassion. asked Shi Zhenji to come forward to reveal his identity and take the two female beggars aside.

Shi Dakai asked Shi Zhenji to take out some silver taels and give them to the two of them, and let them leave.

"Lingnan has thanked his benefactor!" The beautiful female beggar seemed to have a good tutor, politely thanked Shi Dakai, and wanted to leave.

"Lingnan? Lingnan! Shi Dakai muttered the name, paused for a while, quickly stopped the two of them, and said loudly: "Your surname is Cheng?" Named Cheng Lingnan? ”

"No, no! I'm not called Lingnan! … It's not called Cheng Lingnan, my name is Li Lingnan, yes, Li Lingnan! The female beggar denied it in a panic, but wanted to reveal that she was Cheng Lingnan.

Shi Da was happy. The thing that King Nan mentioned in the secret letter happened to happen so coincidentally.

At the moment, regardless of whether the two female beggars were willing or not, they directly brought them back to the Wing King's Mansion.
