Chapter 495: Hong Xiuquan's Solicitation (Seeking Support)

Hong Xiuquan, who stabilized the situation in Tianjing City, didn't have time to rejoice, and was shrouded in a dark cloud: the Qing army in the camp in Jiangbei Province attacked Zhenjiang again when Li Xiucheng led the 5,000 Taiping soldiers from Zhenjiang to return to Heaven after a failed sneak attack some time ago. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info this time, Zhenjiang did not have a capable general to lead, and the defenders in the city encountered the Tianjing Incident, the people were panicked and had no intention of fighting, and they were actually attacked by the Qing army in one fell swoop and captured.

Even, the Taiping soldiers in the city, who originally regarded death as home, actually went to two extremes after the city was broken. Of the 4,000 defenders, less than 500 were killed in the attack, and before the Taiping soldiers at the head of the city could come to their senses, Zhenjiang City was broken. The remaining 3,400 Taiping soldiers, more than 1,400 people, after breaking the city, bravely counterattacked, wanting to recapture Zhenjiang, and rushed to the Qing army with superior strength as if they were dead, and were slaughtered; The other 2,000 Taiping soldiers, seeing that the situation was not good, could not care about escaping, and even surrendered directly to the Manchu Qing.

Hong Xiuquan, who learned the news, was scolded, but he was terrified.

Although he didn't know very well why these Taiping soldiers were like this, he vaguely realized that it was related to the chaos in Absolute Tianjing.

In fact, Hong Xiuquan calmed down a little, and he could see clearly: whether they were the Taiping soldiers who died in suicide or the Taiping soldiers who surrendered, they were all the original soldiers of the East Palace, originally under the hands of the East King, with high morale and full of fighting spirit. That is because they believe that the king of the east is the pillar of the kingdom of heaven, and the possession of the heavenly father, the holy divine wind of the holy religion, the divine and noble, with his leadership, the kingdom of heaven will kill all the demons and establish a peaceful and prosperous world and a paradise on earth.

But after the tragic death of the king of the east, their faith completely collapsed.

Not to mention them, ordinary Taiping soldiers, even those military commanders and commanders, they couldn't believe that the Eastern King of the Holy Sect's Holy Divine Wind Body could be killed. After that, when the Father has no possessed people, how will he descend to earth, how will he deal with the affairs of heaven, how will he redeem their souls, and lead them to heaven?

All the faith and hope of these Taiping soldiers in the East Temple were greatly damaged, and they fell into a crazy situation. Either frantically seeking death, or even breaking down and committing suicide; Either they completely overthrew their past beliefs, felt that they had been deceived, and the main general Luo Jilong was killed in battle, Zhenjiang City was broken, and he would be punished by the king of heaven for fleeing back to Tianjing, so he simply surrendered to the Manchu Qing Dynasty, completely abandoned his past beliefs, and began to pursue wealth and glory.

Hong Xiuquan, who felt that his heavenly kingdom was in danger, didn't care about damaging his face, as if he had never issued an order to declare Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, as the East Rebellion, and put all of this on Wei Changhui's head.

He issued an edict announcing that Wei Changhui, the king of the north, harbored evil intentions and intended to rebel, first killing the king of the east, then forcing the king of wings away, and even attacking the Heavenly King's Mansion to replace himself, and blaming everything that happened before on Wei Changhui's head.

Then, in the edict, Hong Xiuquan revoked Yang Xiuqing's charge of plotting to usurp the throne, announced the restoration of Yang Xiuqing's title of East King, and crowned Yang Xiuqing as the "Holy Spirit", announcing that the day Yang Xiuqing was killed, the sixth day of the sixth month, was the "East King Ascension Festival".

Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, was not killed, but in this form, ascended to heaven and went to heaven to follow his Heavenly Father.

Hong Xiuquan not only publicly rehabilitated Yang Xiuqing, but also remembered his previous achievements. Not only that, but he also passed his fourth son to the king of the east, attacked the king of the east, called the king of the young east, sat in the palace of the east king, and rebuilt the east hall.

Of course, his purpose was not to just occupy the nominal East Temple, but to restore the hearts and minds of the soldiers of the East Temple. By rehabilitating the king of the east and encircling the soldiers of the east hall, he still returned to the king of the heart.

Then, Hong Xiuquan not only pardoned all the soldiers in the east and north halls inside and outside Tianjing City, and announced that he would not be held accountable, but also issued edicts one by one, ordering Zeng Shuiyuan, Hu Dingwen, and Yang Fuqing, who surrendered to the king of the south some time ago, to return to heaven.

For the winged king Shi Dakai, Hong Xiuquan specially issued three edicts in a row, ordering Shi Dakai to return to Beijing, and, in order to envelop him, he was named "the king of righteousness of the electrician master general", which can be called nine thousand years old, and immediately hurriedly ordered someone to engrave a gold medal of the righteous king, and sent someone to Chaoxian to send it to Shi Dakai, asking Shi Dakai to return to Tianjing and take over the status of the auxiliary prince of the East King.

Obviously, Hong Xiuquan saw that the power of the Heavenly Kingdom had been greatly reduced, and even Zhenjiang City was conquered by the Qing demons in the Jiangbei camp, so he came up with this strategy, wanting to use it to recall the Taiping army that had left the Heavenly Kingdom.

But not to mention the Taiping soldiers outside Tianjing, even the Taiping soldiers in the East Hall in Tianjing City are suspicious. That's right, not long ago, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, announced in the name of the king of heaven that he would not pursue the crimes of the soldiers of the East Palace, and deceived thousands of subordinates of the East Hall into the weaving hall to watch the cane punishment of the North King, but he was deceived and was slaughtered in the weaving hall.

Even the smell of blood in the weaving hall has not been removed until now, how could the Taiping soldiers of the East Temple immediately believe what the Heavenly King said, who knows if it is another deception and massacre?

The soldiers in the east hall in Tianjing City were numb, and they were not the slightest happy with Hong Xiuquan's edict.

Zeng Shuiyuan, Hu Dingwen, Yang Fuqing and others did not respond to any news, and still took care of the matter of contacting the Taiping Holy Kingdom in the south. They were completely disillusioned with the kingdom of heaven and were determined to follow the king of the south.

And the Winged King Shi Dakai has already made up his mind, and after waiting for so many years, he is finally going to run to the South King, and he doesn't want to be disturbed anymore no matter what. In the face of the huge reward sent by King Hong, and the power of the auxiliary prince under one person and above ten thousand people, Shi Dakai resolutely refused, and asked someone to give a clear answer to the king of heaven: Dakai originally defected to the Jintian uprising, just to defect to the king of the south, not the king of heaven.

This sentence made Hong Xiuquan inexplicably sad and angry, but he was helpless.

However, the strange thing is that Hong Xiuquan didn't care about Wei Jun in Huangzhou Mansion in Mubei, and seemed to forget his existence.

On the contrary, on the second day after killing Wei Changhui and pacifying Tianjing City, Hong Xiuquan personally wrote a letter to Feng Yunshan that he thought was sincere.

In the letter, Hong Xiuquan first recalled his youth, as a cousin, sheltered Feng Yunshan from the wind and rain, studied private school with Feng Yunshan, and went out to study together. Then, he talked about the establishment of the God Worship Church, mentioned that the two went to the house of his cousin Huang Shengjun in Guixian County, Guangxi, and preached everywhere, and praised Feng Yunshan for his efforts to develop the church when he left Guixian County and returned to Guangdong, and shared the arduous experience of the two of them developing and growing together in Bauhinia Mountain and other places.

As the conversation changed, Hong Xiuquan mentioned how Feng Yunshan assisted him at the beginning, and vowed to assist him, the king of heaven, in establishing a paradise on earth.

In the end, Hong Xiuquan earnestly asked Feng Yunshan in the letter not to blame him for being deceived by the East King before, and he felt very remorseful for wronging Feng Yunshan before, and now he has found out that the East King Yang Xiuqing harmed Feng Yunshan, so he killed the East King at the expense of the turmoil in the Heavenly Kingdom, and was angry for his cousin. However, because he wanted to win over the soldiers of the East Temple, he did not declare the East King a rebel for the time being.

I hope that my cousin can return to heaven and assist him, and the two brothers will take charge of heaven together, kill the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and create heaven on earth together!

Along with the handwritten letter, there was a reward stamped with the great seal of the Heavenly King: Feng Yunshan, the king of the Southern Crown, was named the "Holy Spirit Commander and the King of the Earth", which corresponded to his Heavenly King, who was also known as Long Live and was in charge of all the government of the Heavenly Kingdom.
