Chapter 103: The Winged King (Part II)

That's it for today!

"Wing King, do you remember the decree that this king gave you? Now that the Kingdom of Heaven is in a critical period of transformation, I need you to return to the court to help me. Hong Tiangui said straight to the point.

The Wing King's expression was a little solemn, and he shook his head half-loudly and said: "The minister has been away from the center of power for many years, and I am afraid that I can't do anything if I go back now, Your Majesty, you have been doing a good job since you ascended the throne, and the Kingdom of Heaven will inevitably grow stronger and stronger in Your Majesty's hands." Shi Dakai didn't want to return to Tianjing, even if six years have passed since the Tianjing Incident, the pain still exists, and it doesn't disappear slowly with time.

"Uncle Yiwang, the past is over, for the sake of the kingdom of heaven, we must unite and look forward. Although the king single-handedly formed the national defense army and made some military achievements, but the king's own family knows his own situation, and the king does not know the art of war, but many wars are won by luck, and the king knows that luck cannot always be here in the king, so the king needs to really understand the military and have people who can suppress these proud soldiers in the kingdom of heaven. And Uncle Yiwang, you are the best choice. Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice. For the Wing King Shi Dakai, he is bound to win. Originally, the loyal king Li Xiucheng was a good choice, but the last time they met, although the loyal king did not deviate from the kingdom of heaven, it is not difficult to see Li Xiucheng's selfishness from the formation of Sufu Province, and now among the several powerful princes of the kingdom of heaven, the Li family accounts for two, if Li Xiucheng becomes the commander of the heavenly affairs, I am afraid that Hong Tiangui will not be able to sleep at night no matter how generous he is.

"Your Majesty, there is really nothing the minister can do!" The Wing King said with a wry smile.

"The Wing King doesn't have to shirk, since this King has spoken, he must bring you back to Tianjing City. During this time, the Wing King can inspect the National Defense Force and learn about the problems of the National Defense Force, because in the next period of time, the National Defense Army will successively form the second, third, and fourth armies, which need to be presided over by you. Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty must not, although the old minister has led the army for many years, he has never established a strong army like the National Defense Army, and the old minister can serve in other aspects, but the ministers on this side dare not accept the order." The Winged King refused resolutely. Hong Tiangui didn't give him much choice, and it was not difficult to hear from his words that if he didn't return to Tianjing City, I was afraid that there would really be a big problem with the Heavenly King. Now that the westward passage of the Wehrmacht has been opened, and there is only one Yangtze River separated from the eastern Sichuan base area opened up by him, with the strength of the Heavenly Navy on the inland river, it is not an extravagant hope to open up the main road of the Yangtze River, and when the time comes, eastern Sichuan will inevitably be included in the rule of the Heavenly Kingdom, and where can he hide if he wants to hide from the regime of the Heavenly Kingdom?

"This king will naturally participate, but after all, this king is the lord of heaven, and he is busy with affairs, so it is impossible to stay in the army for a long time, and the Wing King, you have reassuring this king in terms of qualifications and ability, so this matter belongs to you." Hong Tiangui waved his hand, the formation and training of the national defense force has traces to follow, the rest is only training and improvement, Hong Tiangui is already preparing for the Tianshi Academy, thinking that with the military academy, training ground, weapons and equipment in place one after another, the national defense force will eventually become a powerful escort force in heaven.

The Wing King was silent, not that he didn't say it, but that it was useless to say it.

"This king will appoint the king of England as the commander-in-chief of the Western Front, with the First Army of the National Defense Army as the main force, cooperate with the army of the Yiwang and your army, guard Hunan, gradually begin to infiltrate Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou, consolidate and expand the base area in eastern Sichuan, and lay the foundation for the next step of seizing the whole of Sichuan. Yang Fuqing, the auxiliary king, sat in Changsha City, and the logistics support of the British army and the maintenance of local law and order were temporarily under his control. After waiting for the security army to take over the city defenses, the army marched westward and incorporated it under the command of the British king. Wing King, what do you think of this king's arrangement? Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty is wise!" The Wing King smiled bitterly, Hong Tiangui was determined to bring him back to Tianjing, and even the 20,000 troops he belonged to were forcibly left behind, which seemed to cut off his way to the west.

"Wing King, I know that you have spent a lot of effort to open up the eastern Sichuan base, but you must see that for the kingdom of heaven, the real pressure is in the north and the east, the east temporarily has the king of Zhong in charge, and there is the king of the chamberlain to assist, although the pressure is great, but there is no worry for a while, but there is no good general in the north to guard, this king has long wanted to wave the northern expedition, if you can occupy Hefei, you can expand the strategic depth of the kingdom of heaven, and ensure the safety of the capital of heaven. Wing King, do you understand the painstaking efforts of this king? Hong Tiangui said in a deep voice.

"The minister understands that the minister will do his best to share His Majesty's worries."

With the Wing King by his side, Hong Tiangui felt that many things had become much easier to deal with. The Wing King is definitely a great talent among the generals of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the most rare thing is that this person is not only proficient in the military, but also extremely good at government affairs. After the capture of Hunan, the mess was handled in an orderly manner in his hands.

Hong Tiangui has no shelf, he thinks that the king of wings has the ability to learn from him seriously, Hong Tiangui's humble and serious attitude to learn makes the king of the wings have a good impression, the scruples in his heart slowly disappeared, and he handed over his experience of government affairs and the military to Hong Tiangui without reservation, so that Hong Tiangui has significantly improved both in government affairs and the military.

When the dust settled, there was no war for the time being, Hong Tiangui and Yiwang led an army of 200,000 to the east, and after several days of marching, the army came to Nanchang.

The reason why Hong Tiangui chose the training location here instead of Nanjing is because the space of Nanjing City is limited after all, and now the entire land of the Heavenly Kingdom is more in the west and less in the east, coupled with the fact that foreigners are eyeing each other, it is possible to break the monopoly of the Heavenly Navy on the Yangtze River at any time. The location of Nanchang is in the center of the kingdom of heaven, with Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a barrier in the east, Hunan as a backing in the west, the Yangtze River in the north, and the vast mountains in the south, which can be described as a stable place. Although Hong Tiangui will not move the capital, it can greatly improve Nanchang's status in the heavenly kingdom.

And Hong Tiangui requisitioned the original Jiangxi governor's mansion as the palace of the Heavenly King, and before the reorganization of the new army was completed, Hong Tiangui was not ready to leave for the time being.

At the same time, a large number of cabinet officials were transferred from Tianjing City and sent to Nanchang by the navy.

For these people, although Hong Tiangui had to use them, he held an exam. Moreover, in order to improve the ability of these people as much as possible, Hong Tiangui conducted written examinations and interviews for these people in accordance with the situation of the civil service examination in his previous life. During the interview, facing the two great gods of the heavenly kingdom, Hong Tiangui and the Wing King, how many people can not be nervous? The performance of the candidates varied.

Of course, it is gold that shines wherever it goes, and some people are really good, even if there are limitations of this era, but there is a lot of potential for development.
