Compared with the mourning of Beijing, Jiangning, which has been renamed "Tianjing" at this time, is full of joy, although this Jiangning suddenly poured into hundreds of thousands of people, making the people in the city reach as many as one million, but for the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, after the eastward crusade, they have such a foothold. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info no longer need to go east and west like in the past.

And for the prince of heaven, they finally have the opportunity to put on a ceremony that once made him laugh in his dreams.

A mighty piece of ceremonies drove over, ten pairs of big gongs and drums opened the way, and a yellow silk banner was leading, which was: "The True Heavenly Mandate Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Comfort Master, He Nai Master Redeems the Sick Lord, and Zuo Fu Zhengjun Division East Wang Yang." "Seven or eight hundred soldiers supported it before and after. As the second person of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, sat in a sixteen-carried sedan chair, and felt not very satisfied, because his guard of honor was much inferior to the Luan driver when the king entered the city that day. Nine thousand years old is not more than one step away. In the minds of the military and the people, he must erect a tall and dignified image of himself, and there must also be dragons and flags in the guard of honor, as well as more and bigger gongs and drums, and bigger sedan chairs.

"That's it!"

Because at this time, everything in Tianjing was created, even if it was the Heavenly King's Mansion, everything could only be simplified, but the plaque of the Governor's Yamen Council Hall was covered with a layer of yellow silk, and the words "Golden Dragon Palace" were written on it, even if it was the temporary main hall of the Heavenly King. The furnishings in the house are already simple, a gold-lettered plaque of "Emperor's Grace" is hung on the beam, and a few Taishi chairs and coffee tables under the beam are now also covered with plaques and rewritten into the words "Heavenly Grace and Greatness", thanking Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother for leading them on the glorious road of anti-Qing victory. The etiquette of the dynasties was divided into two classes when Yong'an drew up the court rules, the eastern, western, and southern kings stood to see the driver, while the northern king and the winged king knelt to see the driver.

At this time, for Hong Xiuquan, who is the king of heaven, because of the relationship between the first ascending to the throne, he is very embarrassed to sit and accept the worship of the kings, so after the east king, the north king and the wing king entered the palace, the three kings have not yet entered the council hall, Hong Xiuquan took the initiative to greet him, and the east king stood and arched his hand:

"The younger brother Yang Xiuqing asked the second brother for peace."

The King of the North and the King of the Wings were just about to kneel down to salute, but they were stopped by the King of Heaven and said:

"My brother, excuse me, the hall is empty, it's still a little cold this day, hurry up and sit in the house."

This will be for Hong Xiuquan, who is the king of heaven, he has not yet been conscious of being a king, and he still speaks as in the past, after entering the house and sitting down, the king of the east and the others are scattered in the chair of the prince, looking at the three kings in front of him, Hong Xiuquan said happily:

"Since you and my brother rebelled in Jintian for more than two years, traveled thousands of miles, and have been fighting with demon soldiers, there is no place to settle down as a base, and today I finally settled down in Tianjing......

When the King of Heaven spoke, the King of the North kept nodding, but did not speak, as for the Wing King Shi Dakai pondered, in fact, earlier on the issue of the capital, Hong Xiuquan's idea was refuted by Yang Xiuqing, but because of the four people, three advocated Jiangnan as the base, Yang Xiuqing could only compromise in the end, and now seeing the King of Heaven re-mentioning the matter, Yang Xiuqing naturally did not express any opinion.

Hong Xiuquan saw that Yang Xiuqing was speechless, so he tried to say:

"That is to say, it has now been decided to take Jiangning as Tianjing. Then there is one more thing to do, that is, although this governor's yamen has a lot of houses, it is not a palace layout, and it is not decent for the army and the people, let alone showing the momentum of my heavenly kingdom, so it must be cleaned up again, although the foolish brother does not advocate luxury, it must always be like a palace system. ”

In this regard, Yang Xiuqing did not object, he nodded and said:

"This is easy to do, simply demolish and rebuild, and then expand the nearby houses to make it bigger, and there will be few foreigners to worship in the future, the palace is about the appearance, and it should cost some money."

Wei Changhui, who is accustomed to coming from left to right, also hurriedly smiled and said:

"Along the way, we seized a lot of gold and silver from the treasury of various places, and the income from the "pioneer" along the way is more than 10 million taels, and the money is not spent. However, it must be completed within the year within a limited time, and a large court meeting can be held in the new palace on the first day of next year. ”

Seeing that no one objected to his proposal, Hong Xiuquan nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile:

"The military and political affairs of the Qing compatriots are heavy, and there are many people who have to do things, so we must have a decent palace and start building it together."

Hearing the Heavenly King mention himself, Yang Xiuqing nodded and responded:

"Although there are more than 300 houses in the Yamen of the Domain, it is a pity that the layout is dull; It's not very grand, and I want to start construction in a different place. Someone told me that the Qing Demon Jiangning General's Mansion is the original Ming Imperial Palace, with great spirit, the palace pavilions and platforms are ready-made, and the garden is also large, so I am ready to go and see it, and if it is suitable, I will move over. ”

Regarding Yang Xiuqing's request, Hong Xiuquan naturally did not object, and said in order to show that he had not forgotten his brother

"The main cell and the big cell have all stayed, right? And what about the two kings of the south and the kings of the west? ”

Shi Dakai took the opportunity and said:

"The bereaved family of King Nan lives in the original Huangtai Yamen, and Princess Xuanjiao's family of the West has no place to live for the time being."

"That's not going to work."

Hong Xiuquan hurriedly won people's hearts.

"If the Qing compatriots move to the General's Mansion, the remaining feudal division yamen will be changed to the West Palace."

Seeing that the king of heaven was using his residence to win people's hearts, although he was annoyed, Yang Xiuqing had no choice but to cover up:

"Yes, I was trying to choose a first-class place for the West Palace, to comfort the fifth brother's spirit in the sky, and when I moved away, I would like to invite the West Princess's family to live in."

Hong Xiuquan also wanted to ask about military matters, but that was the scope of the East King's power, so he said cautiously:

"Qing compatriots, Tianjing has been taken, how to fight the next battle, have you decided?"

"It's settled."

Yang Xiuqing said arbitrarily: "But when Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang capture Zhenjiang and Yangzhou, they will be sent to lead the Northern Expedition!" ”

Shi Dakai glanced at the East King in surprise, not understanding why he didn't consider the threat of the Qing army Xiang Rong who was near outside the city, and couldn't help but ask. "Fourth brother, more than 10,000 soldiers of the demon army are coming to the city, only one or twenty miles away from the city, you can launch an attack on Tianjing at any time, and if you attack closer, the cannonballs can hit the city.

Wei Changhui also said:

"That is, as the saying goes, people have no long-term concerns, they must have near-term worries, and if they don't drive away the demons, they will have worries about the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition. We can't settle down when we live in Tianjing City. When the time comes, he is busy fighting with the demon army outside the city every day, and he can still take care of other battlefields? ”

As soon as he saw that his proposal was put forward, it was opposed by everyone, Yang Xiuqing suddenly became displeased, his face was flat, and he said sharply:

"What a long-term worry! What you think, I have long thought of it, the Northern Expedition is our established policy, this way the demon officials and demon soldiers were frightened, and they fought from Wuchang to the city of Nanjing in a month, it can be seen that the demon army has no ability to resist, not to take advantage of the time when they are frightened, to take advantage of the high morale of victory, the Northern Expedition to destroy the demon, when to wait? The distance from Tianjing to Beijing is similar to that from Wuchang to Jiangning, because it is a land route, it will take two or three times as long to prepare for it, and it can also reach the city of Beijing in three months. When Beijing takes it down, the snake can't be headless, what kind of demon and glory demon will escape overnight, and we still need to fight with our strength? This is called capturing the thief and capturing the king first. Don't worry, Xiang Rong, the demon head, is a defeated general in our hands, he will only stare at us from afar, but he doesn't dare to come to the city to fight, I am about to contain this army of soldiers and horses, save me from following the Northern Expeditionary Army to make trouble, and let them die outside Nanjing, isn't it good? Why all the fuss! ”

It can be said that since Jintian raised the army, the Taiping army has been acting in accordance with the strategy formulated by Yang Xiuqing, whether it is entering Hunan, taking Wuchang and going down to Jiangning, all of them are formulated by it, and one success after another, coupled with the general trend that the world will gain for the kingdom of heaven at any time at this time, it is even more Yang Xiuqing floating, in his opinion, the Northern Expedition is the last battle against the Qing demon, and when the time comes, not only can he win the world in one fell swoop, but more importantly, the reason why he will decide to go out of the Northern Expedition is because as long as he takes Beijing, he will make immortal achievements, When the hearts of the people turned to the king of the east, he pushed the boat to force the king of heaven to abdicate.

And this is the reason why he advocated the Northern Expedition!
