Chapter 408: Heaven Wants to Unite and Ask for a Monthly Pass
Hong Xiuquan got up from the warm kang, stretched his waist, and looked at the child around him with satisfaction, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl as delicate as a flower was wrapped in a quilt, her hair was scattered and lying on the side, and there were still a little tears on her face.
This girl was sent to the palace by the head of the women's battalion in the name of celebrating the great heroes of Huaxian County, she is tender and delicious, and she is still a stunning beauty - compared to the appearance of the harem beauty, Hong Xiuquan must be the most glamorous among the three "emperors" in China at the moment. The Taiping Army's superior women's battalion system is there, and the beauty of one out of thousands of girls can be worse? And in terms of the number of harem concubines, King Hong also has an overwhelming advantage. At present, there are 24 famous Wang Niang alone, and there are 23 famous positions under Wang Niang, such as Ai Niang, Hip Niang, Miao Nu, Jiao Nu, Yin Nu, Yuan Nu, etc., with a total of five or six hundred people! In addition, there were more than 1,000 female officials who served in the palace, and a total of nearly 2,000 women accompanied King Hongda.
There are more and more beauties around him, and King Hong is naturally in a good mood, and the career of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been developing smoothly recently. Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, does have the ability, Baisha Town and Huaxian defeated more than 200,000 Qing demons in two battles, and now Beijing City is still surrounded! As soon as Beijing is in place, the world is already in hand...... How did you agree with Zhu Jishi at the beginning? The king of the first to enter Beijing! The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom entered Beijing first, and it is the rightful lord of the world.
Of course, he also knew that Zhu Jishi would not be willing to be a vassal in the north, but in fact, he didn't have that idea, and he was satisfied to have a northern brother and a southern brother with King Zhu. However, his sister Hong Xuanjiao can be the queen of Zhu Jishi, how can the sister of the dignified Heavenly King be small? This is what King Hong can endure, and God and his old man will not agree!
In addition, what made Hong Xiuquan not very satisfied was the Western beauty that Zhu Jishi had promised. It hasn't been delivered yet. It's really a little anxious to wait - in fact, Zhu Jishi has long forgotten about this stubble. Otherwise, they would have sent someone to Istanbul to buy a few to send to Luoyang.
Hearing the movement of Hong Da Tianwang getting up, several female officials who were waiting for Hong Xiuquan hurriedly came in, gargled mouthwater, sent hot towels, and dressed His Majesty the Heavenly King, put on socks and shoes, and were busy around Hong Tianwang. Speaking of the rules of the harem, Zhu Jishi and Daoguang can't compare with Hong Xiuquan, and the Zhu family has a harem to interfere in politics. Aixin Jueluo's family was deceived by the Internal Affairs Bureau, and only Hong Xiuquan managed the harem of more than 2,000 people obediently, and there were a lot of rods and precepts, and even the torture of splitting the corpses of five horses or lighting sky lanterns hung on the heads of these harem women......
Wiping his face, Hong Xiuquan sobered up a lot, and asked while rinsing his mouth: "Is there any good news from King Yang Dong?" ”
The person in charge of Hong Xiuquan's official affairs is also a female official, but she is only familiar with some words, and can understand the simple official documents written by Feng Yunshan and Hong Renji in the vernacular. Anyway, Hong Xiuquan doesn't care about anything, before Prime Minister Yang Xiuqing was in power, and now Yang Xiuqing is leading the Northern Expedition, and Feng Yunshan is presiding over the government. Hong Renji assisted from the side. As for how to deal with it, there is basically no need to talk to Hong Xiuquan. He won't listen to it, King Hongda's main job now is to manage the harem. However, when it comes to the military affairs report of Yang Xiuqing's army, Hong Tianwang is still interested in listening to it. He is still very concerned about when Beijing will be conquered.
Hearing the Heavenly King's question, the female official replied respectfully: "Back to the Heavenly King's words, the military reports in the East Hall all say that it is going well, and the latest one arrived three days ago, saying that the army has besieged the city of Beijing, and it will be a few days before the good news comes." ”
"...... three days ago" Hong Xiuquan frowned, this Yang Xiuqing is even troublesome to report once a day? The 300,000 troops of the Kingdom of Heaven are all in his hands, shouldn't he report to Luoyang every day?
He thought about it again, but he still felt that there was no need to worry about Yang Xiuqing. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can have today, Yang Xiuqing has made great contributions, and he can pass on the decree on behalf of his Heavenly Father, but it is not easy to move him, it is better to come to the future.
Hong Xiuquan waved his hand, trying to send the female official to retreat, but another female official hurriedly ran in outside, and when she saw Hong Xiuquan, she knelt on the ground, kowtowed, and said, "Lord Tianwang, it's not good......
"How do you speak?" Hong Xiuquan frowned and glared at the female officer. The female official's body trembled, but she didn't stop, and continued: "The East Palace has reported urgently, King Xiao Xi died in battle under the city of Beijing!" ”
"What? Shaw...... Xiao Chaogui died in battle? Hong Xiuquan was stunned at first when he heard the news, and suddenly he was shocked: "Is Beijing still around?" Can the Qing demons in the city break through? ”
"I didn't ...... No, it doesn't say in the documents of the East Temple. The female official handed a volume of documents to Hong Xiuquan with both hands, Hong Xiuquan opened it and looked at it, and his face suddenly became gloomy: "Quick, hurry up King Xuannan and Hong Renji enter the palace, hurry!" Just go! ”
Unlike Zhu Ming, Zhu Jishi's monopoly is that this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is more like a joint-stock company, with Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan and Wei Changhui and other five people all major shareholders. Among the five shareholders, it is true that Hong Xiuquan, who is the "chairman", is the "general manager", and there are two "deputy general managers" Xiao Chaogui and Wei Changhui. The main troops dispatched by the Northern Expeditionary Army this time were the men and horses of Yang, Xiao, and Wei. Among them, Yang Xiuqing has the most soldiers, followed by Xiao Chaogui, and Yang Xiao and Xiao have always been at odds, and they just want to contain each other, but now, they ......
Xiao Chaogui died in such an unknown way! Who will belong to the tens of thousands of elites of the West Hall under his command? No need to ask, it must have been annexed by Yang Xiuqing! There is still one Wei Changhui left, who can contain Yang Xiuqing? Just kidding, Yang Xiuqing represents the highest existence of God in the God Worship Sect! Don't say it's Wei Changhui, even he, the king, can't help him. Now that Yang Xiuqing has made immortal achievements in the Northern Expedition, even if he pretends to be God's self-proclaimed king, he can convince the public!
Hong Xiuquan only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and after turning around for a long time, the more he thought about it, the more scared he became, Feng Yunshan and Hong Renji had already been ordered to come to the Heavenly King's Mansion.
"Xiao Chaogui died well! It was really timely, not sooner or later, just before breaking Beijing...... He has all the military power in his hands, so that he can plot to usurp the throne! ”
In the palace chamber, Hong Xiuquan gritted his teeth and tore up the military report in the east hall, and he was still angry, so he threw it on the ground and stepped on it a few times. I knew that Lu Dao had today, and he should personally lead the troops to the Northern Expedition, thinking that his ability to fight with soldiers would not be worse than Yang Xiuqing, if he could win, he would definitely be able to, so that the military power would not be left behind.
"Order, prepare the frame and prepare to go north!" Hong Xiuquan stood still and ordered loudly.
"Heavenly King, you can't go north!"
"Heavenly King, please think twice!"
Feng Yunshan and Hong Renji persuaded in unison. Feng Yunshan said: "Heavenly King, once Beijing is acquired by the East King, it will inevitably become the territory of the East King!" If the king of heaven goes north, he will be caught in a net......"
Hong Renji also said: "The king of the east claims to be God, and he has a heavy army, if he really wants to do something wrong, His Majesty the King of Heaven may be harmed!" ”
It's not that you are afraid of being harmed, but that you must be harmed! Hong Xiuquan is not stupid, how could he really hit Yang Xiuqing's muzzle?
"If you don't go north, how can you restrain the king of the east? Ordered Wei Changhui Xu Tuzhi? Hong Xiuquan frowned.
"No," Feng Yunshan said, "if it doesn't work, the great cause of the Kingdom of Heaven will be ruined in one fell swoop, if it succeeds...... Who rules the king of the north? ”
Hong Xiuquan's face sank: "You can't let the East King usurp the throne, right?" ”
Feng Yunshan waved his hand and said: "The king of the east can fight well, like the king of Chu who has been in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years, and the king of heaven should follow the example of Han Gaozu and give both grace to the king of the east." Luoyang can be Tianjing, and the king of the east is ordered to open the capital of Beijing and control the armies east of the Tiger Pass. Then he ordered the king of the north and Qin Rigang and Hu Yihuang to pass through Shanxi, and then join the king of heaven to capture the land of Ganshan as the foundation. ”
"Really give Beijing to Yang Xiuqing?" Hong Xiuquan was unwilling.
"Heavenly King, we have given the burden of the entire east of the Tiger Prison Pass to the East King, so that we can concentrate on the west." Feng Yunshan said solemnly, "Although the Manchu Qing Dynasty was defeated, Yu Wei is still there, and Zhu Ming has half of the south of the Yangtze River, and he must look north at Yanjing, this burden is not light!" ”
Feng Yunshan mentioned Zhu Ming, Hong Xiuquan seemed to think of something, and whispered to himself: "Zhu Ming...... It's also a great enemy! ”
Feng Yunshan leaned into Hong Xiuquan's ear and lowered his voice: "Don't let Zhu Ming know that there is a gap between the Heavenly King of the Dao and the King of the East!" You can send an envoy to Zhu Ming to purchase guns to aid the Eastern Wang Army, and as for Xuanjiao's sister, you have to let Zhu Jishi make her the queen! (To be continued......)
