"What does the lord think of the kingdom of heaven?"
Faced with Sun Maolin's question, Zhu Yifeng fell silent again, he knew that he was not making his own words, or lobbying himself, more precisely, he wanted to know his inner thoughts.
What about the kingdom of heaven?
For the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Zhu Yifeng has never had a good feeling, and even said that the bad feeling is almost not inferior to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. After pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of a couplet, and his eyes instantly lit up.
"What kind of God religion, dare to call the heavenly father and brother, lose the heavens, destroy the heavens, and even stir up the blue sky and the white sun, when to stretch out the sky to ask for the power of the sky, the genius has eyes; These slaves are full of ruffians, ghosts, and people, and the poor blessed places are made into hell, and they smoke land taxes everywhere, and the land has no skin......"
This is a "couplet" borrowed by Zhu Yifeng, and the original author regarded Taiping Tianwen as an enemy; At the same time, the miserable life situation made him extremely dissatisfied with the decay and decline of the Qing Dynasty. It can be said that in such a couplet, both of them are scolded to the bone.
Perhaps nothing better represents his attitude towards the so-called "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" and the Manchu Qing Dynasty than this couplet.
“……”
After a moment of surprise, Sun Maolin looked at each other, and said in a thoughtful elongated tone:
"Lord, how long do you plan to defend the land of the four battles in Wuchang like this?"
Sun Maolin's words made Zhu Yifeng change color, guard? What does he mean?
Sun Maolin ignored the change in his face, but continued:
"Do you want to keep it for a year, or do you want to keep it for five years? Or is it seven or eight years? ”
Knowing the meaning of his words, Zhu Yifeng's face became heavy.
Sun Maolin retracted his gaze, looked directly at Zhu Yifeng, and said:
The ancients had a saying, "A gentleman is born different, and he is good at faking things", that is, people who have done great things in the world are not born with a few more arms than others, but are good at borrowing external forces. ”
With a slight frown, Zhu Yifeng immediately understood the meaning of Sun Maolin's words, he was telling himself that he should borrow external forces, rather than blindly resist external forces.
Nodding slightly, Zhu Yifeng thought for a while and then said.
"Brother Chengyu, you keep talking!"
Picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then Sun Maolin continued:
"Today's world is full of three trends, one is the Qing court, which is the power of the whole country, and has the power of two hundred years of rule, although it is dominated by a foreign race, but two hundred years of prestige, the people have long regarded it as orthodox, but its government is corrupt, the people suffer from the oppression of the government, and the battalion soldiers are even more erosive and unbearable...... The second is Hong Yang, which started in Guangdong Province recklessly, since the beginning of the army, with the teaching of demagoguery, the desire to fight is strong, the front of the army caused by almost no one can stop, but it is not outside the countryside people, short-sighted, blindly xenophobic, a little have, will fall into poverty and luxury, so that the peace can become a great thing......
After commenting on the first two one by one, Sun Maolin turned his gaze to Zhu Yifeng again, and the corners of his lips raised slightly.
"Then there is the lord of the Han righteous army, the same from the reckless, but know to appease the people, run the place, recuperate, it seems that the soldiers are not as good as Hong Yang, but over time, its momentum is by no means comparable to Hong Yang, although Hubei is located in the belly, for the land of four wars, but there is the wealth of the land of fish and rice, if it is properly managed, this place of four wars can also become the place of the king, today the lord in Wuchang is to imitate Zhu Hongwu, that is, why should this place of the king become the land of the four wars?"
And why turn this place of hegemony into a place of four wars...... Sun Maolin's words only made Zhu Yifeng's brows frown slightly, although he didn't know what he wanted to say, but he had already guessed what the other party wanted to say from his previous performance.
"Chengyu, what should I do in your opinion?"
Noticing that Zhu Yifeng didn't seem to have any reaction, Sun Maolin knew that he had already guessed his intentions, so he said:
"In fact, the method is also simple, one Three Kingdoms can be. Fang Jin's momentum, since it is a three-legged trend, then two of them can become a ...... of Han and Wu."
Frowning, Zhu Yifeng said in embarrassment:
"I've also thought about this matter, but first, whether Nanjing can wait for me equally, this is the question, if I live under the Taiping Army, not to mention that the Taiping Army has no tolerance for people, to be honest, I have no intention of living under it; Second, I'm afraid that I just walked up to the door, as soon as I heard that I had a grudge with Yang Xiuqing, I was afraid that I would also be hated by him, I was only worried that these three heads might not be able to resolve the resentment between me and Yang Xiuqing! ”
Of course, this is only one of the concerns, but not all, in fact, the three heads, is just one of the choices, and on the other hand, he is ready, just when the Taiping army is marching westward, it is really not possible, it is convenient for the Jiujiang area, with the cover of six "warships", with the help of the tear and kill, and then take advantage of the victory to "make peace", of course, this is just a forced plan.
After all, for the Taiping Army and Yang Xiuqing, the real enemy was the Manchus, not himself.
Sun Maolin took out the dry tobacco, knocked "Toto" twice, lit it and took a deep breath.
"The second thing is a little bit more about that later. Let's talk about this first thing, I give the lord an idea, and there is a way to resolve this! ”
"Oh? Please also teach me Chengyu! ”
"It's easier said than done!"
Sun Maolin "snorted" and said:
"It's not a bad thing to live under this person, wasn't Zhu Hongwu also under Liu Futong back then, and was sealed by the red scarf in the north? But the key is not whether to be sealed or not, but whether to listen to the tune after being sealed, the lord doesn't have to care about what "lives underneath", and there is the amount of tolerance, the lord has no intention of being under it at all, so why bother with this? It's okay to have a "listen to the seal or not"? ”
"Listen to the seal and don't listen to the tune......"
Hearing this, Zhu Yifeng pondered for a moment and said:
"I've thought about this too, but will Nanjing agree?"
Three years later, the Twist Army, which was active in northern Anhui, cooperated with the Taiping Army under the premise of "listening to the seal and not listening to the tune", but it was three years later, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom experienced the "Tianjing Rebellion", it could only strengthen its momentum in this way.
As for now, they don't need it at all!
"Hmph, will Nanjing disagree? How does the lord know the current situation in Nanjing? If it was a monolith, it would naturally not agree, but the problem is that it is absolutely monolithic now! ”
Hearing this, Zhu Yifeng's brows jumped slightly, and he suddenly woke up and asked.
"Chengyu, you mean...... Now the kings of Nanjing are already suspicious of each other? ”
How could it be so early?
But after a moment of surprise, Zhu Yifeng immediately realized that this was entirely possible, after all, many problems did not break out suddenly, but were constantly accumulated after the formation of dissatisfaction, and in the end, these dissatisfaction and suspicion led to the "Tianjing Incident". If that's the case, maybe you have a chance!
"Exactly!"
Sun Maolin nodded, and said contemptuously:
Ever since they had taken Jiangning and renamed it Tianjing, those old brothers from Guangdong Province had indulged in pleasures, completely ignoring the fact that the Qing court had not yet been destroyed. "At the same time as the construction of the earth, the kings and nobles of Tianjing are also competing for luxury and wealth, which is short-sighted, which is really rare in the world......"
After shaking his head and sighing, Sun Maolin continued.
"At present, the king of the east advocates the Northern Expedition, as for others, they advocate the western expedition to shield Tianjing, and although the Eastern King advocates the Northern Expedition, he also knows that he has to go west to shield Tianjing and solve the difficulty of Tianjing's grain and grass, and although his army is claimed to be one million, there may be only 100,000 fighters, and the army defending the city is not only a northern expedition but also a westward expedition, and the army is already insufficient, and now he not only wants to defeat the Qing army along the river, but also wants to swallow the lord's Hubei in one bite, which is obviously impossible, so he will send his subordinates to lobby the lord......"
When Sun Maolin spoke, Zhu Yifeng just nodded silently, as far as his understanding of history is concerned, the Taiping Army of the Western Expedition can be said to be extremely smooth, and the Northern Expeditionary Army is also very smooth, but in contrast, the latter has never been supported by solid rear reinforcements, and some people even suspect that the Northern Expedition is a knife to kill.
"As for the lord of the Northern Expedition, there is no need to worry. Now in the kingdom of heaven, only the king of the east is eager to go north to determine the Central Plains, but he does not know that he has committed the taboo of dividing the army, even if the western expedition has the help of the lord, it is only an increase of 10,000 troops, and the direction along the way is only thousands of miles. Why didn't the lord take advantage of his current eagerness to go north to settle the Central Plains, in order to increase his reputation, and he needed to go west to shield Tianjing, accept his seal, ease the relationship with the heavenly kingdom, and implement the policy of "listening to the seal and not listening to the tune", so how can he worry about living under it? ”
After pondering for a while, Zhu Yifeng nodded and said.
"That's a good idea......
Indeed, having someone who understands the internal situation of the Taiping Army is indeed more important than anything else.
"In this case, if the lord can make a plan and accept the title of the prime minister of the heavenly kingdom, then his majesty can return to Tianjing to resume his life!"
"Hmm!"
With his eyes wide, Zhu Yifeng couldn't help but be stunned.
"Chengyu, who are you?"
Why does he have to go back?
"Back to the lord, under the appointment of the king of the east, to and from Wuchang is to persuade the lord to accept the canonization of the kingdom of heaven, but although the lord intends to accept the canonization, but because Huangzhou was abandoned, he has concerns, so he does not dare to believe, so, naturally the subordinates need to go to Tianjing to lobby the king of the east, the ministers can not go, and furthermore, the ministers also need to return to Tianjing to return to the king of the east! And the lord also needs someone to have Yu Tianjing to open his eyes for the lord! ”
"Cheng Yu! You ......"
Looking at Sun Maolin, who was extremely serious, Zhu Yifeng's words were paused, and then he commanded:
"That's it, I won't say anything else, I just hope that Chengyu will leave Tianjing as soon as possible and come to Wuchang to help me! That day Jingzi was not a blessed land! ”
"Please rest assured! Your Majesty can say that tens of thousands of elites of the Wuchang Han Army belong to my heavenly kingdom, which is a great achievement! Even if it is not a blessed land, what do you worry about?"
When he was talking, Sun Maolin had already stood up, first gave a salute, and then said.
"The tea is cold, and I'm going to bed too! After all, tomorrow, I will lobby Zhu Dadu in public to return to my heavenly kingdom! ”
"Sun Angel go slowly!"
Zhu Yifeng personally sent him to the door and watched him walk back to the room. I was still excited for a long time, if this matter was completed, at least the worries in the short term would be lifted, and the opponent in the short term would only be the Manchu Dynasty...... (To be continued.) )
