Chapter 36 (7) The arrival of the army of the king greatly increased Hong Tiangui's power, not only obtained a naval fleet of 1,000 men and 100 ships, but also obtained an army of 12,000 people.

Hong Tiangui incorporated it into the new army, and then reorganized it including the previous First Army, and officially named the original new army the First Army of the National Defense Force, Hong Tiangui served as the commander, Wang Jian served as the commander of the first division, Guo Yuanbao served as the commander of the second division, Ye Tianlong served as the commander of the third division, Wang Chao served as the commander of the fourth division, and Shi Jianming served as the commander of the fifth division. Wang Chao and Shi Jianming are both from the Shiwang Army and are one of the four temporary acting commanders in the Shiwang Army. The original Young Army was officially reorganized into the Second Army of the National Defense Force, with Li Rongfa as the commander, Zhang Guangshuang as the commander of the First Division, Sun Zhengping as the commander of the Second Division, Xie Zhihai as the commander of the Third Division, Sun Libin as the commander of the Fourth Division, and Guo Zonghui as the commander of the Fifth Division. Zhang Guangshuang, Sun Zhengping, and Xie Zhihai used to be the personal guards of the loyal king Li Xiucheng, because of their brave combat and outstanding performance, they were sent to the young army to assist Li Rongfa in taking charge of the three divisions, Sun Libin and Guo Zonghui came from the Shiwang army, they took a brigade of men and horses from their headquarters to join the second army, and then Hong Tiangui transferred a brigade from the original provisional fourth division and the provisional fifth division of the young army to the first army.

In addition, there were also several adjustments at the brigade commander level, and they were retained by Hong Tiangui and temporarily transferred to Hong Tiangui's personal guards.

Naturally, some people support and some oppose this readjustment, and most of the opponents are concentrated in the former Young Army, which is now the Second Army of the National Defense Force. It's just that now Hong Tiangui has the foundation of the First Army, so he is naturally no longer afraid of the backlash of the young army officers. Moreover, Hong Tiangui's study class has greatly stabilized the grassroots officers, and without the participation of the grassroots officers, even if there are some discordant voices in the Second Army, it will not hurt.

Seeing Hong Tiangui's reorganization order, Li Rongfa was a little panicked for a while.

He hurried to the Zhongwang Mansion and saw Li Mingcheng, who was dressed in military uniform and was about to leave Tianjing City.

"Second uncle, you have to get an idea for me, the young king is a naked seizure of power!" Li Rongfa said aggrievedly. The young army has always been with him since its establishment, but now it has been inserted into a jar by Hong Tiangui, although the three divisions of his descendants have basically not moved, but the two temporary divisions have been taken away by life, which makes Li Rongfa's heart extremely depressed.

Li Mingcheng looked at Li Rongfa, sighed, and said, "Rongfa, my brother came with a letter before, take a look for yourself!" ”

As he spoke, he handed a letter to Li Rongfa.

Li Rongfa opened it and looked at it, and his face instantly became ugly.

"Father is going to give up the Young Army?" Li Rongfa was a little unbelievable, Li Xiucheng's attention to the young army is obvious to all, the soldiers of the young army are only young, but the combat effectiveness is definitely not weak, don't look at their oldest is only fourteen years old, but some people have lived on the battlefield for two years, there are definitely some means, once they are a little older, they can definitely be called elite.

"This is also a matter of no choice, in the past month, the Heavenly King has urgently sent three edicts to his brother, ordering the elder brother not to attack Shanghai, and I have received news that the King of God is secretly contacting the foreigners in Shanghai, and the young Heavenly King is afraid that he will compromise with the foreign powers." Li Mingcheng said helplessly.

"Impossible, since the previous generation of Heavenly Kings, our Heavenly Kingdom has severed relations with foreigners, and completely put an end to cooperation with foreigners, is Your Majesty the Heavenly King going to overturn the policy of the previous Heavenly King?" Li Rongfa said in shock.

"I can't see through the king, and my brother can't figure it out, but my brother is bound to Shanghai, and now that the periphery of Shanghai has been almost cleaned up, my brother may launch a final offensive at any time, and I will leave here for Shanghai." I understand what my brother means, and giving the young army to the King of Heaven is probably also an exchange of interests, and I hope the King of Heaven will not drag him back. Li Mingcheng was helpless, no matter how powerful the loyal king was, he would no longer put the king of heaven in his eyes, but he was a courtier after all, and it was impossible for him to be indifferent to the three urgent edicts of the king of heaven.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always taken the restoration of the ancient system of the Han people as its own responsibility, and the most admired is naturally Yue Fei and Yue Wumu, who are loyal and righteous. But even Grandpa Yue, who had unparalleled combat effectiveness, had to return to the army in the face of the Yellow Emperor's seven emergency edicts, and finally died in vain.

"Just give up like that? Second uncle, I'm unwilling! Li Rongfa said in a deep voice.

"Brother said, for the generals in the young army, if you are not willing to stay in Tianjing, he can send a letter to the king of heaven and transfer you back to the front line in Shanghai, or even go to Shanghai to serve the king army in Jinhua, but I am afraid that the young army will not be able to take it away."

Li Rongfa's expression was cloudy, to be honest, as a general who rushed to kill on the battlefield, he was unwilling to stay in this quiet Tianjing City. Which hot-blooded man doesn't want to be a marquis on the battlefield and become a general with a lot of power, but the reality is always so helpless. Hong Tiangui didn't make a move on his young army openly, but his small actions in private were even more dangerous. Li Rongfa believed that even if he ordered the young army to leave Tianjing City now, he might not be able to take the young army out.

"Rongfa, although the young army is good, but there are not many of him and a lot less than him, as long as you go to the front line, with your ability, you can raise a new army. I'm leaving Tianjing City, this time my goal is to fight the king, and I can't mess around like before! "Li Mingcheng also has his own ambitions, he wants to become a powerful prince of the heavenly kingdom like his brother.

"I'm going to think about it!" Li Rongfa's expression was bitter, he couldn't make a conclusion about this kind of thing immediately, he needed to think about it carefully, and he also needed to probe the tone of the generals below. During this time, the three division commanders under his command had been received by Hong Tiangui, although afterwards they said that the Young Heavenly King only understood the situation and did not say anything inappropriate, but this also made Li Rongfa feel uncomfortable.

Back in the young army, Li Rongfa met with the three division commanders, and the three division commanders in military uniforms looked at their commanders with each other's faces, and couldn't guess what they were doing at this time.

"I'm going back to the front line in Shanghai, which of you wants to go with me?" Li Rongfa said in a deep voice.

"Commander, has something happened? Why so suddenly? Zhang Guangshuang, the commander of the first division, asked puzzled.

"I received an order from my father, and he told us to abandon the young army and lead the backbone back to Shanghai to participate in the final battle of Shanghai."

With Li Rongfa's words, the breathing of the three people became obviously short, but soon, one of them showed a thoughtful look on his face.

Li Rongfa's expression remained unchanged, but his heart sank. It has not been even two months since he came to the kingdom of heaven, and the three division commanders have different hearts from him.

"Commander, do you have an order from the Young Heavenly King?" Xie Zhihai, the commander of the Third Division, asked cautiously.

Li Rongfa looked at him and shook his head.
