Chapter 494: Wei Changhui's death
The situation in Tianjing was completely out of control, and Hong Xiuquan was really worried. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
All along, he never included Wei Changhui in the ranks of the fight.
What really made him take it to heart was Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, at first. At that time, Feng Yunshan used his name to develop thousands of disciples in the Bauhinia Mountain and other Guiping and Pingnan counties, which made him vigilant, so he suppressed Feng Yunshan in the name of the Eastern King possessing the Heavenly Father.
Later, it was Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. Now, Yang Xiuqing has also been killed by Wei Changhui.
He thought that from then on, he would be in power, and no one would be able to compete with him anymore. Unexpectedly, Wei Changhui was already crazy, and he didn't care about it at all, and he didn't even care about him, the king. Thinking of the people in the East Hall in Tianjing City, they have been almost cleaned up, and outside Tianjing City, news is getting worse than the other, and Hong Xiuquan can't help it anymore.
Bastard! What are the soldiers of the East Palace, now that Yang Xiuqing is dead, they are all soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom, and they are all his own subordinates!
Can't be any weaker! Now even this Wei Changhui has bullied himself!
We can't wait any longer. Originally, he was still looking forward to the Wing King Shi Dakai coming to the rescue of King Qin, so Hong Xiuquan also asked his subordinates to keep an eye on the news outside Tianjing City, but he didn't expect that what he was waiting for was the news that Shi Dakai led his troops to return to the King of the South!
This stupid boy from the Shi family didn't want to stay in Heaven at all, and he didn't come to Tianjing to escort him at all.
In desperation, Hong Xiuquan had no choice but to launch an operation to kill Wei Changhui on his own.
At this time, Li Xiucheng in Zhenjiang City led 5,000 soldiers to the outside of Tianjing City by boat, asking to enter the city to defend the Heavenly King and meet the Heavenly King.
Wei Changhui naturally didn't allow it, and Li Xiucheng became more and more suspicious that Wei Changhui controlled the Heavenly King, took out the secret edict of the Bad Heavenly King, and threatened to attack the city and rescue the Heavenly King.
The war between the two sides is also on the verge of breaking out.
Wei Changhui did not have many descendants in Tianjing City, and he was inevitably worried, so he mobilized the original Taiping Army of the East Temple to step up the construction of fortifications and prepare to defend the city.
When the Tianjing City heard that the Zhenjiang Tianping soldiers outside the city came to attack the city, they were also panicked.
Wei Changhui was even more uneasy in his heart, so he asked to see Hong Xiuquan in person, and asked the Heavenly King to issue a decree announcing that Li Xiu had become a traitor to the party, clarifying that there was no secret edict, but Hong Xiuquan in the Heavenly King's Mansion did not respond.
Wei Changhui only knew at this time that Hong Xiuquan really wanted to unload the mill and kill the donkey and deal with him. He knew that Hong Xiuquan was delaying and waiting for Li Xiucheng's troops outside the city to rescue the troops, so he became even more impatient.
So, Wei Changhui ignored it, and directly led the troops to the front of the Tianwang Mansion, and sent people to storm the door of the mansion, the gate of the Tianwang Mansion was closed, and Hong Xiuquan ordered the door to be closed. Wei Changhui said directly, give another hour of time, if the king of heaven does not come forward again, he will set fire to the palace of the king of heaven.
Half an hour later, the gate of the Heavenly King's Mansion suddenly opened, and the banner of the Heavenly King was erected in front of the door, and a large group of guards of the Heavenly King's Mansion, as well as maids, rushed out in men's clothes, and there were thousands of people.
Wei Changhui and his sergeants saw that the Heavenly King's troops were really killed, and they were a little timid in their hearts, and they also killed them. I saw that the guards and maids in the Heavenly King's Mansion were extremely brave and desperate, but after all, they had never been on the battlefield much, and they were killed by the soldiers of the North Hall and retreated.
Wei Changhui led three thousand soldiers from the North Hall to attack the front gate of the Heavenly King's Mansion.
Seeing that the situation was critical, Hong Xiuquan ordered all the ladies and female officials in the palace to form a women's army, led by Meng Deen himself, and started a melee with the Taiping soldiers of the North Palace.
At this time, Hong Xuanjiao, the princess of the West in the West Palace, led nearly a thousand female officials and female soldiers from Guangxi in the palace to go around the side door to the back of the North Hall Army, and attacked back and forth, and the already small North Hall soldiers were finally defeated.
Hong Xiuquan took the opportunity to come forward in person, and immediately ordered the arrest of Wei Changhui in the name of the Heavenly King, and called on the people in Tianjing City to "report urgently and be promoted to the third level".
In this way, the original soldiers of the East Hall in Tianjing City were not long in Wei Changhui's hands, and now they have turned against each other and obeyed the orders of the Heavenly King to work together to arrest Wei Changhui.
Wei Changhui's North Palace, which was originally suppressed and endured for a long time, was flocked to the North Palace, and surrounded the North Palace, which was a frenzied attack. The remaining soldiers in the North Palace, as well as the maids in the North Palace, had no intention of resisting and surrendered one after another. But where can the red-eyed soldiers of the East Temple be controlled, in the chaos, Wei Changhui's family of more than 200 people was also slaughtered by all the soldiers who were killed.
Wei Changhui led the remaining more than 1,000 soldiers from the North Hall and fought hard to get out of the Heavenly King's Mansion, but there were only more than 600 people left. In desperation, Wei Changhui couldn't go back to the Beiwang Mansion, changed his clothes, pretended to be an ordinary Taiping soldier, and escaped from the Shuixi Gate.
Standing on the edge of the Qinhuai River, looking at the guards behind him who were less than three hundred people, Wei Changhui's heart was desolate.
He never imagined that he, who was about to take power and replace the king of the east, would suddenly suffer a devastating blow. It turned out that he was just a pawn used by the Heavenly King.
For a long time, Hong Xiuquan did not show the strength of his palace, and he couldn't imagine that a group of Guangxi women were so crazy, and their combat power was no less than that of ordinary Taiping soldiers.
For now, he had no choice but to flee and defect to Wei Jun and Zhang Zipeng, his cronies who were leading the troops outside. But when you get there, what should you do, you only occupy Huangzhou Mansion, and you can't develop it alone.
Wei Changhui's eyes suddenly lit up: Why don't you follow the example of the Wing King Shi Dakai and defect to the King of the South! With the current power of the king of the south, it is very possible to destroy the Qing demon.
Thinking of this, Wei Changhui swept away the desolate and decadent heart in his heart, and shouted to the three hundred guards behind him: "Brothers, although this king has failed, he still has capital. That is Wei Jun of Huangzhou Mansion and more than 10,000 other soldiers. This king has already made up his mind to go to the king of the south, are you willing to follow him? ”
All the relatives and guards were overjoyed and shouted their willingness.
So, Wei Changhui led everyone to find a few boats and crossed the river to prepare to go to Huangzhou Mansion in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River.
Unexpectedly, just out of the Qinhuai River estuary, upstream of the river, facing a huge fleet of ships, the ship held high the banner of the Taiping Army, with a big word on it.
However, it was Lai Hanying, who was stationed in Taiping Mansion, who led the sailors, and also received a secret edict from Hong Xiuquan, and went to Tianjing to escort King Qin, and happened to meet Wei Changhui and others who had escaped.
Wei Changhui was shocked and ordered the ships to avoid the detour, but unexpectedly, Lai Hanying saw a ship coming out of Tianjing City and ordered to interrogate the information in Tianjing City.
Wei Changhui's personal guards were already worried, and as soon as they were interrogated by Lai Hanying, they nervously revealed their stuffing.
So, the sad Wei Changhui wanted to pretend to be an ordinary soldier and escape, but he was captured by Lai Hanying's sailors in such a daze.
Knowing that Uncle Lai Guo led troops to help and captured Wei Changhui, Hong Xiuquan finally relieved.
He hurriedly issued an edict that all the Taiping soldiers in Tianjing City, regardless of the east hall and the north hall, would not be held accountable, and they were all brothers of the kingdom of heaven. At the same time, he successively ordered Meng Deen to lead the people to open the Shuixi Gate and let Lai Hanying lead more than 1,000 soldiers into the city, and open the Shence Gate to let Li Xiucheng, a Zhenjiang reinforcement outside the city, lead more than 100 Taiping soldiers into the city.
Wei Changhui was captured, knowing that he could not escape death, and kept shouting to see the king. But Hong Xiuquan ignored it and directly ordered it to be dismembered and beheaded for public display.
Wei Changhui died extremely tragically:
Meng Deen personally operated the knife, and he ordered someone to strip Wei Changhui naked, tie his hands and feet, and bind him to a wooden pillar, like killing a pig, but the order was reversed.
Cut off Wei Changhui's ten fingers and feet, let the four Taiping soldiers hold down Wei Changhui, who was constantly struggling, and put two large plates under it, which were used to catch Wei Changhui's blood, ready to be used to pay tribute to the soldiers of the heavenly kingdom who were killed by him.
This is not the end, Wei Changhui, who was fainted by pain, ushered in a more miserable experience.
He was blessed with the order of boiling boiling water, poured it from the top of his head and shoulders, scalded Wei Changhui's skin and flesh, and died and came back to life, and ordered two head shavers to shave his hair while drenching water and shaving his hair, and shaved Wei Changhui's whole body, who no longer knew whether he was alive or dead.
Then, Meng Deen held a sharp knife, broke Wei Changhui's white belly, took out all the internal organs in the belly piece by piece, put it on a plate on the side, cut off Wei Changhui's neck, took off the head, sent Hong Xiuquan to see it, and hung it on the gate of the East Palace's mansion for three days.
Lai Hanying and Li Xiucheng and other Heavenly Kingdom soldiers who watched the whole process were all awe-inspiring, knowing that this was because the Heavenly King hated Wei Changhui to the extreme, so he would be so ruthless.
The King of Heaven is warning the soldiers of the kingdom of heaven of what punishment will be given to those who betray him!
It's just that whether it is Lai Hanying or Li Xiucheng, although they know that Wei Changhui is innocent of death, they still can't suppress a cold sweat in their hearts, and they have the sad thought of the rabbit's death.
And Chen Chengying, the Marquis of Xingguo on the side, was even more cold in his back, and his heart was horrified. He couldn't help but feel uneasy, colluded with Wei Changhui and killed thousands of people in the East Palace, and in the back, he was afraid that the people of the North Mansion would tell him about him and kill the family members of the North Palace, and now he doesn't know what the Heavenly King Qing did not know what he did.
However, seeing Wei Changhui's tragic death, Chen Chengying saw the ruthlessness of the king even more clearly. He secretly wondered in his heart whether he should flee to his nephew Chen Yucheng, who was fighting in the north of the paste.
