Chapter 641: Hong Xiuquan's stubbornness
In the afternoon of this day, in the dormitory of the Golden Dragon Hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion, Hong Xuanjiao, the queen of the West who came to accompany the sister-in-law and take care of her cousin together, was chatting with Lai Lianying, who was in the "New Moon Palace" on the side. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info Suddenly, I heard Meng Deen and Lee so-sung arguing about something outside the door!
"Prime Minister, if the king can't be a director today, you are the chief general of the Chinese army and the head of the army, and you have to give you an idea. What should I do? This is Lee so-sung's voice.
"Nanwang said he was giving us a few days?" This is the voice of Mund's grace.
"Only for three days! After three days, you can't blame him for not talking about his previous feelings and directly attacking the city! Li Xiucheng was obviously in a low mood: "King Nan said that if we open Tianjing City and submit to him, we will treat Tianwang and all the old brothers well." If it stubbornly resists, it will make the original group of old brothers tear their faces and kill each other, and it is said that they have made the inner division of the city ready to cooperate with them in attacking the city at any time. ”
"Besides, Prime Minister, even if you give us five days, it's useless. The food in Tianjing City is not enough for three or four days. It was still the voice of Li Xiucheng, the deputy commander.
"This, for the time being, I can only hold on to the city, waiting for Uncle Lai's reinforcements. When the king is more sober, I will report to the king. "Meng Deen didn't have any ideas, so he could only push it on the Heavenly King.
"Prime Minister, we can't delay any longer! According to the position, it is better to use the only remaining food, lead the troops to break through the siege, abandon the capital on this day, and go to the Anman area. Now that the Qing Demon has been basically defeated by the captive army, the troops are empty, and our Taiping army has been put to death and survived, all the way to Henan, Shaanxi, Sichuan, Gansu and other places, as long as Sichuan and the northwest and other places are occupied, they can still compete with the southern king. Li Xiucheng finally said what he thought.
When Meng Deen heard this, he was shocked, and said in surprise: "If you can really occupy the northwest and other places, it is indeed not bad!" In that case, you quickly go down and reorganize your troops, and prepare to break out of the city! ”
At this moment, a voice shouted: "Who dares to give up Tianjing City?" One sentence not only startled Hong Xuanjiao and Lai Lianying, but Meng Deen and Li Xiucheng outside the hall were also alarmed and hurriedly ran into the hall.
I saw that Hong Xiuquan, who had always been a little crazy, sometimes good and sometimes bad, suddenly came to his senses, sat on the bed and shouted: "Mengdeen, Li Xiucheng, I entrusted the Kingdom of Heaven and Tianjing City to you, and this is how I do things?" It is unreasonable to give up Tianjing! ”
Meng Deen hurriedly knelt in front of the bed, kowtowed again and again and begged for mercy: "Long live, Deen doesn't dare." Deen swore to defend Tianjing to the death. ”
Li Xiucheng insisted: "Long live, if only Zhongshan is in my hands on the periphery of Beijing today, and other waterways will fall into the hands of the King of the South, Tianjing is already in great danger." Moreover, there is no food in Tianjing City, and if you don't give up Tianjing City to break through, there is only one way to die! ”
Hong Xiuquan was very calm, coughed and said: "At the beginning, we were besieged in Yong'an City for more than half a year, and then we were also short of food. Yong'an City is small, as the capital city is tall today, and there are many soldiers in my heavenly kingdom, so I am afraid that I can't hold it? ”
Li Xiucheng said gloomily: "Long live, at the beginning of Yong'an City, our Heavenly Kingdom soldiers were all old brothers in Guangxi, with strong combat power and high morale, and everyone was vying to follow Banzai to build a small paradise on earth." Moreover, at that time, he was facing a Qing demon with corrupt military discipline, and he had no combat power! But now, not only are most of the Heavenly Kingdom soldiers in Tianjing City no longer the old brothers of Guangxi, their morale is low, and their future is bleak. Living in the capital on this day, I can't experience the happiness of the little heaven at all, long live, the holy soldiers in the city are very complaining, and I can barely suppress it with military law. Moreover, the most important thing is that what we are now facing is no longer a Qing demon with corrupt military discipline and no combat power, but a captive army that crisscrosses the north and south of the river. How to fight it? ”
Li Xiucheng also let it go, and told the truth about Tianjing City in one go.
When Hong Xiuquan heard this, he was rarely not angry, but just sighed and said: "Although what you said is strong, but for the sake of your country, I don't blame you!" Tianjing must not give up, this is the foundation of the kingdom of heaven, and there can be no wavering! What about the troops on the side of Uncle Guo's Taiping Mansion, can't they be transferred back to rescue? ”
"Long live, the Taiping Mansion has been cut off a few days ago. Li Xiucheng and I guess that Lai Hanying will have fallen to the side of the southern thief! Meng Deen said.
Lai Lianying of the Zhengyue Palace on the side interjected: "No, Han Ying has always been loyal to Banzai!" ”
Hong Xiuquan snorted coldly and said, "It's hard to say! Your brother was on good terms with the thief. Now that I am in danger, who knows what I will do! Hum! With the heavenly soldiers in Tianjing City, I am not afraid, I still don't believe it, Tianjing is the land of my dragon, where the national fortune of the Kingdom of Heaven is, with me, who can capture Tianjing City? ”
"Long live, it's not a bad thing to give up Tianjing, and the pros and cons of the gains and losses can only be seen clearly later. I think what the deputy head said is very reasonable, give up Tianjing City, and take it back in the future? Moreover, Xijing (Xi'an) is also good, maybe it is more suitable for heaven to establish a small paradise on earth! But it was Hong Xuanjiao's voice, since the death of King Xi, she has not appeared in the upper echelons of the kingdom of heaven, and this time she rarely expressed her opinion.
Hearing that someone was helping him, Li Xiucheng took hope again, and mustered up the courage to say again: "Long live, now that the political situation of the Qing Demon is in chaos, the troops in Shaanxi and Sichuan are empty, and the captive army is not enough, and I haven't had time to capture these places, it is a great opportunity for my heavenly kingdom to rise again!" Ask the king of heaven to see the rise and fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the performance of the quasi-ministers. As he spoke, he also pushed Meng Deen next to him.
Meng Deen also hurriedly came to his senses, and he also knew that Li Xiucheng had more vision than himself, so he knelt down and gritted his teeth and said, "Long live, Deen seconded the proposal!" If you ask for a long live, you will be allowed to play the second palm! ”
Seeing that these two people were almost like a palace, Hong Xiuquan began to get angry, and he sneered: "Ridiculous! The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was created by me with my own hands, and I have worked hard for the Heavenly Kingdom, but you say that I have disregarded the safety of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? It's ridiculous! Shameless! It is all your useless people who have made my country smaller and smaller, and the state affairs are becoming worse and worse, and even Tianjing City is besieged by others! If the king of the east and the king of the west were alive, how would I have the worries of today? ”
But he forgot that the king of the east was eradicated by him, and the death of the king of the west had nothing to do with him.
"Rubbish! You're all a bunch of shit! Hong Xiuquan simply scolded, and threw a spittoon in front of the two of them in the bed collapse, the spittoon was torn apart, and the broken porcelain pieces splashed the faces of the two of them with pain: "Think about it, when I and the East King led tens of thousands of troops to conquer Wuchang City, and led 500,000 people to capture Tianjing all the way with the power of heaven and earth, what a momentum. Such a good situation has been brought to this point by you bundts! On the contrary, look at the gang of southern thieves, with more than 1,000 troops, thousands of old, weak, sick and disabled, they can rise step by step and lay down such a large area! If you bastards had half the ability of the Southern Thieves, why would I be where I am today! ”
After Hong Xiuquan finished scolding, his anger came up even more, and he lay down again angrily, and said: "Don't say it again, I will never go out of Tianjing, you are afraid of death, you all escape, I will stay alone, and live and die with Tianjing!" ”
Meng Deen was stunned, and kowtowed again and again to confess: "Long live, the minister is guilty!" It's all incompetent. ”
When Li Xiucheng heard such a heavy reproach from the king of heaven, he also hurriedly kowtowed and confessed his guilt again and again.
Only Hong Xuanjiao, who was next to him, sighed in his heart: "The King of Heaven is still so stubborn. The Kingdom of Heaven is over! For a while, I didn't know where I was going, and I began to worry about my future.
Hong Xiuquan was angry, and his anger finally subsided a little, looking at Meng Deen and Li Xiucheng, who were still kowtowing and confessing their sins under the bed, thinking that only these two people were the most loyal to themselves now, so he said: "Since you admit your mistakes, I will forgive you this time!" Hurry up and go to the castle tower to arrange the defense of the city! ”
