"His Majesty the Heavenly King has retired, this was announced in front of the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty. Moreover, His Royal Highness the Young Heavenly King punished King Fu as soon as he came to power, transferred the household department from King Fu to King Gan, and ordered the British royal department on the western front not to divide the army, and resist the eastward advance of the thieves with all their might. ”

"The god king is responsible? The King of Heaven did not object? Li Xiucheng still didn't believe it. Different statuses mean different thoughts. The idea of the king is much simpler than him, after all, the king does not want to go back to Tianjing City to participate in the intrigue, and King Zhong is different, he is the current ranking of real power figures in the kingdom of heaven, and his return can greatly change the situation in the entire Tianjing City.

"The Heavenly King has retired!" The messenger said firmly.

Li Xiucheng frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Do you know that just this morning, the Heavenly King was assassinated!" ”

"What!?" The messenger's face changed.

King Chung looked at him, looking not like he was fake, and he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When the Heavenly King was assassinated, the first suspicious person he thought of was the young Heavenly King Hong Tiangui. However, judging from the performance of the messenger, it is obvious that he did not know before, and the Young Heavenly King was able to send him to ask for troops from him, this person must be the confidant of the Young Heavenly King, and his performance can partly show that the relationship between the Young Heavenly King and the Heavenly King is not incompatible.

"The messenger panicked, and the king was only injured, not in danger of his life. The edict of the Young Heavenly King will soon be sent to the army. Now let's talk about the problem of returning to Tianjing. ”

"Lord Wang, His Royal Highness the Young Heavenly King has already issued an order to draw an army from the Royal King's army, doesn't the Lord want to act according to the Young Heavenly King's orders?" The messenger frowned, a look of displeasure on his face.

Zhongwang Chengfu is deep, naturally he will not worry about a messenger, he smiled, and said: "The messenger has misunderstood, how can this king not listen to His Highness's orders, but now that the front-line war is imminent, even if we want to withdraw our troops, the Qing demons and foreign devils entrenched in Shanghai City may not be willing, so it's not that I don't transfer troops to Tianjing City, I really can't just transfer them!" ”

"Hmph, His Royal Highness King Zhong's excuse is not clever, His Royal Highness has an army of 100,000 under his command, and there are 80,000 elite descendants, can't even 15,000 people be transferred? Lord Wang, if you really don't want to, I don't dare to force a small messenger, but His Royal Highness the Young Heavenly King blames it, I'm afraid it's not so simple. The messenger's eyes widened, not in the slightest fear that he was the most honorable prince of the kingdom of heaven.

The messenger's surname is Zhou, the name is undoubted, before the capital of the Kingdom of Heaven is Tianjing, he is a poor talent in Tianjing City, and when the East King is in power, he entered the military department as a clerk, after the Tianjing Incident, the peasant prince above the court is in charge, and their somewhat sour scholars are naturally even more unwelcome, and this time he is valued by the young king, and he came to the loyal king here to transfer troops, no matter what, he can't go back empty-handed.

"Are you threatening the king?" King Chung's face slowly sank, a small messenger, even if he was hanging on the errand of the military department, he did not put it in his eyes.

"Don't dare, if His Royal Highness the King of Loyalty insists on this, then go and explain to the Young Heavenly King yourself! Leave! Zhou Budo finished speaking and left.

King Chung's face was gloomy, and a murderous intent rose in his face.

Zhou Budo, who turned to leave, felt a fear in his bones. But he didn't pause in the slightest, and his steps became more determined. At that time, he studied hard for ten years and was admitted to Xiucai, and his life trajectory would be like other Qing Dynasty scholars to participate in the state examination step by step, and if he was lucky, he would become a master, and if he was unlucky, he could also go to a big family to do a Western seat, in short, there was no problem with food and clothing for a lifetime. But the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ruined all this, he changed from a Manchu scholar to an anti-thief official, in the face of the Taiping Army's bright knife, he decisively became a subordinate of the Heavenly Kingdom, because he was literate and young and clever, he was valued by the subordinates of the Eastern King and brought into the military department.

Zhou Budo wanted to show his strength in the military department, but he didn't expect the Tianjing incident to kill the soldier who appreciated him, but fortunately, he was usually cautious enough, coupled with his innocence, so he was not implicated. Even so, he was reduced to a dispensable figure in the military department.

Zhou Budo always has the urine of some scholars, and adheres to the idea of familiarizing himself with the books of sages and sages and selling them to the emperor's family, and the current emperor's family is the Hong family. Hong Xiuquan forgot it, this moody leader was really unbearable for him, a scholar who was silent and weird. The young king gave him a good feeling, although he was still a little immature, but he was decisive, and the face-to-face contact made Zhou Budo strengthen his determination to be loyal. And this errand is an opportunity to show to Hong Tiangui, so Zhou Budo will definitely not show the slightest timidity, because he now represents the majesty of the young heavenly king who has just ascended the throne.

When he reached the door, the words of King Chung finally came from behind him.

"The Courier stays!"

Zhou Budo breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, slowly stood still, and turned his head with an indifferent face.

"The messenger has misunderstood, how can this king not respect the order of the young king, and now this king will send an army back with the messenger. In order to show the sincerity of this king, this king will let my son Rong Fa return with the messenger. ”

Zhou Budo's face showed joy, and he was very excited in his heart. The person in front of him was the prince with the most troops in the kingdom of heaven, and such a person bowed his head in front of him, this sense of accomplishment was something he had never felt, and it also strengthened his determination to be loyal to the young heavenly king.

"His Royal Highness the Loyal King is loyal, and Zhou Budo thanked the prince on behalf of His Royal Highness the Young Heavenly King!" Zhou Budo said respectfully. As long as the goal is achieved, Zhou Budo will naturally put away his previous arrogance, he is not a fool, he can use some means in order to complete the task, but usually facing King Zhong like this is purely looking for death.

King Zhong smiled and nodded, and waved his hand to let his subordinates send Zhou Budo out.

Soon, King Zhong was promoted to the account, and all the generals rushed from their respective armies, including Li Rongfa, the commander of the young army.

When King Chung announced the transfer of the young army to Tianjing, Li Rongfa was greatly dissatisfied.

"Father, don't go to Tianjing, your sons want to lay down Shanghai City for your father." The Young Army is an army composed of teenagers under the age of fifteen who joined the army after Li Xiucheng opened up Sufu Province. Handed over to his adopted son Li Rongfa to command, the number of young troops was somewhat smaller than that of the regular army, only 8,000 people. Although the soldiers in the army are young, their combat effectiveness is not weak at all. The Kingdom of Heaven has been fighting for many years, and in order to ensure the supply of soldiers, the age range has been constantly lowered, and now the youngest soldier of the Kingdom of Heaven is only twelve years old, which is about the same age as Hong Tiangui. If the war is tense, Li Xiucheng naturally has no heart to engage in any young army. Now that Sufu Province is stable, he has 100,000 elites under his command, and concentrates teenagers under the age of fifteen to form a separate army for training, which can be regarded as a potential army, as long as it is trained for two years, the age is also appropriate, and the combat effectiveness will become more powerful.

"Nonsense, this king said, your young army and Rong Chun's new army are not involved in this Shanghai battle, this time the young king edict came, my father had to send an army to go, count the current armies, only your young army has the lightest combat mission. The Father will draw 5,000 strong men from the baggage army to join your young army, which is not much the same, although it is not in the same number. ”

"But...... There was no battle in Tianjing City! Li Rongfa said dissatisfiedly.

"You are still young, and there will be battles to fight in the future. Now that the Young Heavenly King is in power, I'm afraid that the Kingdom of Heaven is about to change, and you can also help your father take a look at the situation when you go to Tianjing City. We must not allow the Tianjing Incident to happen again. Li Xiucheng said in a deep voice.

Li Rongfa was silent, the Tianjing Incident was too far away for him, but from the words of his fathers, they knew that the blood was flowing at that time, and the people who died were all meritorious generals who rose up in the Heavenly Kingdom, and some of them were even people whom his father Li Xiucheng admired very much.

"Rong Fa, this time I went back to Tianjing City, everything should be low-key, and I will report to my father in time if there is any situation, this Tianjing City, I ...... Sooner or later, I'm going back! Li Xiucheng said meaningfully.

Li Rongfa's expression was shocked, and a fine light shot out of his eyes.

"Father, rest assured, the child will do his best."

Li Xiucheng patted him on the shoulder, with a look of relief on his face.

Li Xiucheng was born in poverty, his own ability is undoubted, but his people are also extremely competitive, the most outstanding is naturally Li Shixian, who has been appointed as the king, and the younger son Li Rongfa and nephew Li Rongchun are also first-class generals, it can be said that most of the forces of the heavenly kingdom are now in the hands of his Li family.

It was determined that the young army would return to Tianjing, and the generals would listen to Li Xiucheng's military orders again.

"Shanghai City is not in a hurry to attack, during this time, the various departments will clear the strongholds on the periphery of Shanghai according to the plan formulated before, and this king will fight Shanghai." Li Xiucheng's eyes were full of determination.

He only wants to capture Shanghai now, and even go back to Tianjing City to participate in the alternation of power in the heavenly kingdom for the time being.

At this moment, Hong Tiangui didn't know that the king and the king of Zhong had withdrawn an army and returned to Tianjing City. He is a little anxious now, because the Heavenly King was assassinated, the Imperial Forest Army entered the city, and the entire Tianjing City was in chaos. Especially at night, all sorts of strange things can happen. And one of the most depressing things for Hong Tiangui happened last night, when the whole family of a four-grade waiter in the Ministry of Industry was killed, and more than 100 people did not leave a single living mouth, such a shocking case made the already chaotic Tianjing City even more turbulent.

"Check, check for this king, who did it?" Hong Tiangui roared angrily, a four-grade squire was exterminated overnight, and the perpetrator must not be simple.

Jing Zhao Yin Sun, who was kneeling in front of Hong Tiangui, trembled, and didn't dare to take a breath.

"Your Highness, Weichen is soft-spoken, should this matter be investigated by the Criminal Department?" Jing Zhaoyin said in horror.

Hong Tiangui looked at him coldly, and said in a cold voice: "You are the parent official of Tianjing City, you don't dare to care about such a big public security incident in Tianjing City?" What use does this king want from you? Hong Tiangui's expression was extremely gloomy.

"Your Highness spares your life, and the subordinates will check immediately!" Jing Zhaoyin shouted loudly.

"Before dark, this king must see the results, otherwise he will come and see him!" Hong Tiangui said coldly.

Jing Zhaoyin sat down on the ground all of a sudden, and then seemed to think of something, bounced up like a rabbit, and quickly rushed outside.

Hong Tiangui rubbed his head with a headache, there was no one under him! I don't know how Hong Xiuquan maintained it before, in addition to these officials, none of them can be used in major matters.
