Chapter 9 Deliberation on the Expedition
In the past few days when I have been stationed in Jeonju City, there have actually been a lot of things. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć infoAs a traveler in later generations, Feng Shaoguang is not the original Feng Yunshan, he is lazy in many things and arranges for everyone to do it.
Feng Shaoguang asked Zeng Guanlan to transfer manpower from the pro-guard brigade and the women's battalion, and had already set up a separate detailed battalion, with only thirty or forty people forming a pawn for the time being, collecting all kinds of intelligence and directly selecting and reporting to himself. Before the city of Quanzhou was broken, Zeng Guanlan had already sent more than 30 old brothers from the guards to disguise themselves as refugees and spread out within twenty or thirty miles around Quanzhou to investigate. Especially in the vicinity of Lingyidu, not only did he let the fine work strengthen the investigation on both sides of the strait, but Feng Shaoguang specially told Luo Gang to send a few of his subordinates who were originally water cowards, dressed up as fishermen, and drove boats to squat on the river in that area.
But there are some things that he has to do himself. On this day, Feng Shaoguang went to the Fourth Military Camp to visit Sister Hu, another female battalion commander he had heard of but had not yet seen.
This is an ordinary village woman, in her fifties, with a typical Hakka face. The bridge of the nose is a little collapsed, and the cheekbones are a little protruding, but the warmth in the eyes makes people can't help but feel close. She was sitting on the head of the bed at the moment.
"Old sister, are you getting better?" Feng Shaoguang asked with concern as soon as he entered the door. From Feng Yunshan's memory, he and this eldest sister Hu are old friends. Hu Damei was one of the first members of his sect, and she was very enthusiastic and active in propagating the Holy Religion, and she not only brought all her family members into the church, but also mobilized more than 100 people from the surrounding neighborhoods to join the church. His son Liang Litai was recommended by the King of the South as the commander of the Second Army in Yong'an City at the end of last year and became Feng Yunshan's right-hand man.
"Hey, eldest sister see King Nan. Nanwang, you are busy with the affairs of the heavenly kingdom, why do you still come to see the eldest sister, I really don't want to go. Sister Hu was very happy and supported her to get down from the head of the bed, and the female soldiers around her hurriedly supported her. Feng Shaoguang also hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and said, "My old sister, don't be reckless." Rest well, take care of your body early, Yunshan is still waiting to kill the demon with you. ā
Sister Hu seemed to be really familiar with Nanwang, and she was not polite, she sat on the edge of the bed and smiled at Feng Shaoguang: "Okay, eldest sister listens to my Yunshan brothers." He turned his head to Liang Litai and Lu Qi behind Feng Shaoguang and said, "Tai'er, and the seventh member of the Lu family, how did you protect King Nan?" I heard that Nanwang was injured a few days ago, but fortunately it's okay. Otherwise, I will never spare you! ā
Feng Shaoguang hurriedly said: "Old sister, don't blame Litai and Lao Qi, it's me who sits in a sedan chair by myself, it's too eye-catching." They kill more demons, just vent their anger for me! ā
"Yes. Brother Yunshan, it's not the eldest sister who said you, don't be like everyone else, become a prince, just patronize and enjoy, forget the oath of punishing the demon and enjoying peace. Sister Hu also seemed to have something to say.
Liang Litai couldn't help but worry, and hurriedly shouted: "Eminem! ā
Sister Hu also knew that what she said was inappropriate, but she lost face in front of her son, and said stiffly: "What's the matter, Brother Yunshan is not an outsider." One sentence made Liang Litai cry and laugh.
Feng Shaoguang was a little moved in his heart, it seemed that Sister Hu really regarded him Feng Yunshan as her own person, and she couldn't get used to the style of the Heavenly King Dongwang, so she was upset for him.
Old sectarians like Hu Damei and Liang Litai turned out to be Feng Yunshan who got along day and night and brought them into the God Worship Sect single-handedly, and they had an emotional foundation for Feng Yunshan and a deep sense of identity. If you can hold this group of old brothers who first joined the religion in your hands, you will have a power that cannot be ignored in the kingdom of heaven, you must know that these old brothers have basically become the middle and lower backbone of the kingdom of heaven now. However, from the beginning of the official uprising of the Heavenly Kingdom, the Eastern and Western Kings united, first through the possession of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother, they mastered the power of the Sect, and their status was higher than that of Feng Yunshan, the actual organizer of the Holy Sect. After that, the military commander of the Eastern King and the courage of the Western King to charge into battle cooperated with each other, leading the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom to fight with the Qing army for more than a year, and the Eastern King and the Western King had mastered most of the military power of the Heavenly Kingdom, and their position in the Heavenly Kingdom became more and more stable.
Feng Yunshan knew that if this continued, as time went on, as the military talents of the East King were fully displayed, the old brothers in the Heavenly Kingdom became more and more respectful to the East King, and finally the Heavenly Kingdom was completely controlled by the East King like history. It seems that he must hurry up and strengthen his strength, break away from the control of the Eastern King as soon as possible, revise the teachings of the Holy Religion, and revitalize the system of the Kingdom of Heaven, so as to lead the Kingdom of Heaven to create a true path of peace. Otherwise, it will only be a tragedy like in history.
Suddenly, when he heard that the sword hand was coming, the king of heaven and the king of the east called everyone to discuss the military affairs of Hunan, and asked the king of the south to go to the Weide Palace where the king of heaven lived, that is, the yamen of the original Qing demon Zhizhou.
Feng Shaoguang came to the Zhizhou Yamen, and saw that the inside had been completely renewed, the walls were covered with brilliant gold paper, and the beams were also hung with embroidered dragon yellow satin. Feng Shaoguang couldn't help but sigh secretly, no wonder the Kingdom of Heaven fell so quickly, this Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan is really real, and he does not forget to be extravagant on the way to fight and escape, it can be imagined that after the capital of Nanjing is set in history, how corrupt it will be.
"Yunshan has seen Brother Tianwang, Brother Dongwang." Feng Shaoguang walked into the main hall, and after saluting according to the rules, he found the seat prepared for himself and sat down, only to find that the high-level officials of the Heavenly Kingdom had basically arrived.
"Nanwang's shelf is so big, let everyone wait for you for a long time." Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, suddenly blamed.
"Brother Dongwang, the King of Heaven has not yet spoken, Brother Dongwang preemptively blames Yunshan, is the Kingdom of Heaven not in charge of the King of Heaven?" The sudden strength of the king of the south today was also suppressed in the name of the king of heaven, which surprised the king of the east and everyone a lot. Feng Shaoguang ignored everyone's astonished eyes, and continued to turn to the Heavenly King and said: "Brother Heavenly King, your brother-in-law, and all the brothers, Yunshan only received the notice of this discussion before a stick of incense, and immediately rushed over, I don't want to be too late, Yunshan apologizes!" ā
"Before a stick of incense? The warden didn't give notice early in the morning. Chunguanzheng Prime Minister Hu Yixuan said strangely. Hu Yixuan is good friends with Feng Yunshan, he is from a martial arts background, but he is coarse and detailed, Feng Shaoguang understands that he deliberately said this to help himself.
Everyone immediately understood that it must have been a trick by the messenger and deliberately did not notify the king of the south until the meeting was about to start. But the warden was promoted by the East King, and everyone didn't have much to say.
Seeing that the atmosphere was embarrassing, Tianwang Hong Xiuquan hurriedly said: "Okay, they are all their own brothers, what does it matter if we wait." Mountain robe, Qing robe, you are both good brothers of mine, don't hurt the peace for trivial things. Today, we are convening everyone mainly to discuss the military affairs of the expedition to Hunan. Let's talk about what you think. ā
Wei Changhui, the king of the north, was the first to speak: "The king of heaven, the king of the east, the king of the west, the king of the south, brothers, my holy soldiers of the heavenly kingdom occupy the whole state, and the water village in the south of the city is captured, and the surrounding collection has more than 200 new ships, plus more than 100 old ships, a total of nearly 400 ships, and a little training can form a powerful sailor." In the past two days, the congregations of the nearby heaven and earth have come to vote, and more than 3,000 new brothers have been added. If you go north to Hunan, you will definitely be able to break the city. ā
Qin Rigang, the prime minister of Tianguanzheng, said: "The king of heaven, the king of the east, and the king of the west, just like the king of the north said, my heavenly kingdom sailor can be successful, and the day gang thinks that he should use the ship to set off from Quanzhou as soon as possible, attack Yongzhou and Hengzhou along the waterway of the Xiangjiang River, and take Changsha directly." ā
The statements of Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang represent the views of most Heavenly Kingdom soldiers, and it is indeed a good route to march.
Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, also said loudly: "Yes, I also agree with what Brother Rigang said. Second brother and fourth brother of the Heavenly King, we must go out as soon as possible, so as not to be on guard against the demons. ā
Seeing that everyone was a little bit in agreement, the Heavenly King looked at Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, and motioned for him to say a few words. The East King coughed lightly, cleared his throat, looked at the people in front of him majestically, and said, "The opinions of the Prime Minister of Heaven and the West King are my opinions. The soldiers are fast, and our army should immediately go to battle. Second brother, how about you set off early tomorrow morning?
When the king of heaven saw the approval of the king of the east, he said, "In this case, my heavenly soldiers will set out tomorrow." Brothers, go back to the camp as soon as possible to pack up and prepare for the expedition. ā
"Slow, Brother Tianwang, Brother Dongwang, Yunshan has something to say. More than ten days ago, Yunshan Road passed through the north of Quanzhou for more than ten miles, and a ferry called Lingyidu was Daohe Bay. The nearby Xiangjiang River is turbulent, and the ancient trees on both sides of the river are towering to the sky, if all the holy soldiers of our heavenly kingdom travel along the waterway by boat, it is very easy to be ambushed by the Qing demon near this Lingyidu. Feng Shaoguang stood up as he spoke, pointed to the location of the Xiangjiang River on the marching map hanging on the vertical beam of the main hall, and continued: "Yunshan proposes that the troops do not need to be impatient and march slowly. The front army will first open the way on both sides of the Xiangjiang River and spread reconnaissance extensively, while the rest of the armies and platoon tail baggage will follow up by boat, and the sailors will escort the front and rear, so that nothing can go wrong. ā
When the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan heard this, he didn't seem to be happy, shook his head and said: "The infantry will go first, and the waterway will follow, it will take a long time, and I am afraid it will take a few months to reach Changsha." What do you think of the robe? ā
Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, said: "What the king of heaven said is extremely true! Since the rise of my kingdom of heaven, the Qing demon has sent all the demon soldiers from Hunan to Guangxi, in a vain attempt to destroy my kingdom of heaven. However, in this way, the Hunan Qing Demon Army was empty and the defense was weak. This is a good opportunity given by the Heavenly Father, and now our heavenly soldiers should seize the opportunity to capture Changsha with the fastest march. ā
Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, also said: "Second brother of the Heavenly King, what the fourth brother said is very right. To miss this wonderful opportunity is to be disrespectful to the Father and to be ashamed of the Father's gift. ā
The Father was brought out, and everyone nodded in agreement.
"Yes, the opportunity given by the Heavenly Father to occupy Changsha, if you don't hurry up the march, the Heavenly Father will blame it, who can afford it?"
"Everything is fine with the King of the South, but he is a little timid, no wonder the King of Heaven and the King of the East slowly stopped letting him lead the troops."
Feng Shaoguang couldn't help but feel a sadness in his heart when he heard everyone's whispering discussions. He was a public heart, but he was considered cowardly. But he could not give up persuasion, because only he knew how many casualties would be if all the troops of the Kingdom of Heaven were loaded into ships that were not capable of self-defense and marched, without the protection of the infantry on both sides.
So, Feng Shaoguang turned his heart sideways, knelt on his knees, and shouted loudly: "Heavenly King, Eastern King, and all the old brothers of the Heavenly Kingdom, Yunshan knows that this is a good opportunity to capture Changsha, and Yunshan can't wait to rush to Changsha City immediately." However, please believe Yunshan, listen to me once, you can't let all the troops of the Heavenly Kingdom take the waterway, and the two armies must be separated from the two sides of the strait to go north along the way, especially near Lingyidu, and they must be reconnoitred on the shore first. If the capture of Changsha is really delayed, Yunshan is willing to lead the army to show punishment! ā
The Heavenly King hurriedly got up and helped Feng Shaoguang up, and reproached: "Why do you have to be so serious about the mountain robe, and still kneel, what do you say, you must not do it in the future!" He turned his head and said to the king of the east in embarrassment: "Qing robe, what do you think?" ā
Yang Xiuqing sighed and said: "Mountain robe, since you are so insistent, let your rear army be able to fight on both sides of the river, and the women's battalion and other baggage platoons will follow the armies by boat, and order the brothers to walk quickly and keep up with the boats without delay, if what?" ā
Feng Shaoguang knew that Yang Xiuqing could promise that there were combat strength troops in the rear army and march along the coast, which was already considered a concession, and at the same time, there was also the intention of punishing him. The march on the shore was slow and hard, and the officers and men of the rear army saw that the rest of the armies could go down the river by boat, but their own troops were laboriously walking, so they must have complained and hated Feng Yunshan.
But he also had to promise to come down, as long as he set off early, he rushed to Lingyidu to investigate. Just as he was about to reply and thank him, a neutral voice sounded: "Brother Tianwang, Brother Dongwang, the left army is also willing to march on both sides of the strait with the rear army to open the way for the waterway holy soldiers, please ask Brother Tianwang and Brother Dongwang for permission." "It turned out to be the Wing King Shi Dakai.
Yang Xiuqing was stunned when she heard this, then slapped her thigh, got up and said, "Nonsense!" Da Pao, are you following the mountain robe to mess around? How can it be child's play on military intelligence events? The soldiers are fast, you should know this truth better than me. What's more, in order to avenge the mountain robe, he has been delayed in the whole state for several days. How can you make the heavenly soldiers march in the wilderness on both sides of the Xiangjiang River because they are worried about the ambush of the Qing demons, and the hardships of the heavenly soldiers are not counted, and the time is wasted in vain, the marching schedule is delayed, and the plan of the heavenly kingdom to take Changsha is ruined. Don't! ā
Seeing that Yang Xiuqing was angry, Wing King Shi Dakai didn't dare to say anything more, but just glanced at Feng Shaoguang.
Feng Shaoguang didn't say anything more, and retreated to his seat and sat down.
Seeing that the atmosphere was tense and the scene was dull, Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan said haha: "They are all their own brothers, and they are all contributing to the kingdom of heaven, so there is no need to be like this." Brothers, do what Qingpao says. I'm tired, and I'm all gone. ā
