Tianjing was stabilized because of Hong Tiangui's victory, but the interior of the Tianwang Mansion was completely deserted, and Hong Xiuquan's concubines were all sent out of the mansion by Hong Tiangui, while his mother Lai went to Nanchang to take care of Hong Xiuquan's daily life. For the departure of his mother Lai, Hong Tiangui couldn't stop it, although the mother and son had no family affection, the blood connection was real. Although Lai's has no culture, she is a traditional woman, she can't make any big sense, and she has no rights in Hong Tiangui's illusory mythical harem, but she is Hong Xiuquan's wife, even if her husband loses all rights, she will never leave her. At the same time, Lai's also used his own actions to prevent Hong Tiangui from continuing to attack Hong Xiuquan to avoid another cannibalistic tragedy of father and son in the future.

The huge Tianwang Mansion was completely empty, and when Tianjing City was ****, in order to prevent Hong Xiuquan from catching them, Hong Tiangui's four concubines left Tianjing City in a panic, and after Tianjing was settled, Hong Tiangui's first thing was to look for them, but no one could tell their whereabouts.

Hong Tiangui and Wing King Shi Dakai successively sent thousands of people to search for them secretly, but there was no news.

Hong Tiangui wanted to look for it with great fanfare, but was stopped by the Wing King. Now that the entire kingdom of heaven is in a kind of superficial calm, if the news of the disappearance of the Heavenly Princess leaks out, I am afraid it will cause a great ****.

Although Hong Tiangui was anxious in his heart, he also understood that it was best to search for secrets at present.

Despite the successive victories of the Kingdom of Heaven, the environment of war did not fundamentally change, except that the threat of war shifted from the West to the East. As a representative figure among the last ministers of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, Li Hongzhang was much more difficult to deal with than the upright Zeng Guofan, and his Huai army recruited a large number of Western soldiers as officers, adopted Western training methods, and was in full swing training every day, and did not avoid the investigation of the heavenly kingdom at all, and this kind of self-confidence invisibly caused huge pressure on Li Xiucheng and others.

Li Xiucheng sat in Qingpu, and the king inspected the defense lines every day, and the Taiping army put on a stubborn posture.

In Li Xiucheng's big tent, the king who had just returned from his inspection looked solemn.

"Shixian, what is the mood of the divisions and brigades? Is it worth a war? Li Xiucheng stared at the undulating sand table on the table and asked in a deep voice.

The sand table was made by Hong Tiangui, and it was just sent to Li Xiucheng's army not long ago, and it was referred to a large number of maps, although it was not 100% accurate, but it was much better than the flat map.

In order to make the sand table more accurate, he sent a large number of scouts during this time, ostensibly to explore the movements of the Huai army and the foreign army, but in fact, to measure the accuracy of the sand table map.

"The mood of the various units is quite tense, and there have even been incidents of soldiers defecting en masse in the third and fourth divisions, and there have also been incidents of desertion of soldiers of varying degrees in other divisions, and the situation is not optimistic." Li Shixian said in a deep voice.

"But no one in the teaching brigade escaped, what did you think of?" Li Xiucheng raised his head and said in a deep voice.

The teaching brigade is a newly formed unit formed by Li Xiucheng, which is organized and trained according to the official brigade of the Hong Tiangui National Defense Army, and the biggest difference between this brigade and other divisions and brigades is that it has placed 300 instructors sent by Hong Tiangui.

Li Xiucheng did not disobey Hong Tiangui's orders, but that a big war could break out at any time, and it was really unwise to adjust the whole army at this time, so he formed a teaching brigade, and the purpose was self-evident.

At present, there is no war, and no one knows how the combat effectiveness of the teaching brigade is, but from the feedback from all sides, the appearance of the teaching brigade has improved greatly, and in just half a month, the barracks in the army have taken on a new look, the army is spotless, and the slogan of soldier training can be heard from a camp apart, and what makes Li Xiucheng feel most extravagant is that these political commissars organize training during the day and organize the soldiers of the whole brigade to study literacy at night. Just what is the use of literacy in fighting wars?

Li Xiucheng has been observing, and nothing else has been seen, but not a single deserter in the whole brigade compared the other divisions and brigades under Li Xiucheng's command.

"Report to the marshal, the logistics troops will escort the third batch of supplies to arrive."

The heralds hurried.

Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian showed joy on their faces, during this time, two batches of logistics and heavy troops arrived, sending a large amount of food and ammunition, which greatly supplemented the loss of the Zhongwang army.

What made the two even more look forward to was the third batch of supplies, which came from Hunan and were transported by water, and were weapons captured from the Hunan army, including thirty-six large-caliber Franc cannons, which was undoubtedly a big surprise for King Zhong, who lacked heavy weapons.

"Dashuai, this is the details of this supply, please take a look!" Lu Guangda, the young general in charge of escorting the supplies, said in a deep voice.

Lu Guangda from Hong Tiangui's direct national defense force teaching team, is also the first batch of members of the Chinese Liberal Party, he was born in a family of scholars, his father is a Manchu Xiucai, although his father spent his life in the imperial examination, but let him receive a traditional education, after joining the teaching team, especially after listening to Hong Tiangui's lectures, Lu Guangda became a loyal believer of Hong Tiangui, with a flexible mind and solid cultural skills, Lu Guangda stood out from the teaching team and became the first batch of officers to transfer field troops from outside the teaching team, He is now the acting head of the 1st Logistics Baggage Regiment.

Looking at the young man in front of him with clear eyes and a demeanor that was neither humble nor arrogant, Li Xiucheng's eyes flashed with appreciation.

"Captain Lu, it's been hard all the way, what instructions does the Heavenly King have?" Li Xiucheng said with a slight smile. There was a touch of affection in the words.

Although Lu Guangda is the regiment commander, at most he is a middle-level officer, and he can't be compared with the loyal king who controls tens of thousands of troops, but he was born in the teaching team of the National Defense Army, and everyone knows that the people trained in it are Hong Tiangui's henchmen, and such people have a bright future, even the loyal king does not dare to underestimate them.

His Majesty the Heavenly King explained that all the 20,000 rifles and 5 million rounds of ammunition in this material were placed by the marshal himself. In addition, 36 large-caliber mountain guns and 108 small- and medium-caliber artillery guns will be formed into an independent artillery regiment, which will be used by the commander, and the commander of the artillery regiment will be temporarily deputized by the subordinates. Lu Guangda said in a deep voice.

Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian's faces changed at the same time.

"Commander Lu, that's not what the Heavenly King's edict said before." The squire said in a deep voice.

"The Servant, this is the latest edict." Lu Guangda took out an edict from his arms and handed it to Li Xiucheng calmly.

Li Xiucheng bowed, and then respectfully accepted the edict, and his face gradually became calm.

"Head Lu, I'm going to trouble you in the future." A smile appeared on Li Xiucheng's face.
