Sun City, in the Golden Dragon Palace, there are exactly six kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom now.
Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, first introduced Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan to the various military deployments in the early stage of the Celestial Empire, and then looked at the two of them with an inquiring gaze, "I wonder what the two virtuous brothers have to do with these deployments?" ”
Lin Haifeng looked at Zheng Nan and cleared his throat, "The younger brother is new here, and he still needs to have a process of understanding Yiqiē, so I can't talk about anything, just talk about some of my superficial opinions, if there is anything wrong, please ask the brothers to advise." At present, it is also the best policy to lead the army to the west by the brother of the Wing King. However, I think it is better to cancel the Northern Expedition for the time being. The Northern Expedition was weak in military strength, and it could not achieve great things, and once there was a mistake, it would lose these old brothers in vain. These old brothers from Guangxi are our wealth! ”
The Wing King nodded, turned his head and looked at Yang Xiuqing with an inquiring gaze, "I think it's all about this, since you can't draw out more military strength to organize the Northern Expedition, it's better to postpone it for a while." In order to buy time, so that Lin Fengxiang and the others would not enter Shanxi according to the development of history, the younger brother had already sent a messenger last night to inform them to prepare to return to Yangzhou and Zhenjiang. Brother King of Heaven and Brother of the East King, what do you see? If you think it is feasible, you will immediately send a decree back to them. ”
Hong Xiuquan thought about it and didn't say anything, but set his eyes on Yang Xiuqing. In his heart, he was unwilling to edict Lin Fengxiang and them, since Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan could predict the future development of events, they could use this to guide the soldiers of the Northern Expedition and ensure that the Northern Expedition could proceed smoothly.
Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan have different ideas. In the end, he is a strategist who actually controls the overall situation, and he also sees that if the Northern Expedition continues like this, it may not be able to achieve the previous strategic purpose, and it can only contain the Qing demons in the north, so that there will not be more people and horses to besiege Tianjing at once. Especially the last sentence that Lin Haifeng said moved him, the soldiers of the Northern Expedition were all brave people who could conquer and fight habitually, and they were even more loyal to the Celestial Empire, and they were all his original subordinates in the past. Thinking of this, he waved his hand vigorously, "Since both of you think it is feasible, I naturally agree." Immediately inform the men and horses of the Northern Expedition to return quickly, just so that they can concentrate their forces and wait for the opportunity to defeat the Jiangnan camp of Xiang Rong, the old demon head, so that he will always be an eyesore outside Tianjing City. What do you see, Heavenly King? ”
Seeing that the East King and the Wing King had a rare unanimity, and both supported Lin Haifeng's statement, King Hong Tian said regretfully: "It's just that the rare good situation of the Northern Expedition has been lost, and the soldiers have paid the price of blood in vain. ”
"It's not a pity," Lin Haifeng looked at King Hong, "Qing demons have a large number of men and horses in Shandong and Zhili who are about to join the encirclement of the Northern Expeditionary troops. Xianfeng will also draw the elite horse team of the Mongolian monk Grinqin, and the Northern Expeditionary Army is strong against the Qing army. According to our current situation, in order to ensure the safety of Tianjing, we can neither give up Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, nor can we withdraw people from Tianjing. Lin Fengxiang and they can only fight alone. Without backup and room for maneuver, this kind of operation will not have an end. ”
Hong Xiuquan nodded, "Changhui, what do you think?" He pinned his only glimmer of hope on Wei Changhui, who was silent.
Wei Changhui didn't expect that the East King would have such a tacit understanding with the new King An, and he felt that his status in the Celestial Empire had begun to decline, and he was bowing his head and feeling a little sad. Hearing the Heavenly King ask himself, he hurriedly raised his head, and said without the slightest hesitation: "The junior brother is completely in favor of canceling the Northern Expedition, and it is a taboo for soldiers to go deep alone, and it is the best policy to get rid of the Jiangnan battalion." ”
"Well, since everyone is so unanimous, let's settle it like this first." Hong Xiuquan said helplessly.
Yang Xiuqing smiled and looked at the Heavenly King, "King An and King Ning are both great talents, for the sake of the great plan of the Celestial Empire, Xiuqing thought that the two of them should preside over the military decision-making of the court, and Xiuqing was willing to give up the position of military advisor." Please follow the king's permission. ”
Hong Xiuquan was happy for a while, and just wanted to express his position, but Lin Haifeng took the lead.
Lin Haifeng shook his hand again and again, looking at Yang Xiuqing sincerely, "Brother Dongwang, it's not good like this." Speaking from the heart, Zheng Nan and I are still very unfamiliar with the current real world, and we can't replace Brother Wang's role in the Celestial Empire. ”
As he spoke, his gaze swept over King Hong, Shi Dakai, and Wei Changhui one by one, "We can give advice to the Celestial Empire and do our best to assist your royal brothers." ”
"King An is right," Zheng Nan said with a smile, "We are just doing some practical work to make the development of the Celestial Empire better." ”
The words of the two of them made Hong Xiuquan feel a little disappointed, but Yang Xiuqing added a lot of good feelings to them. He shook his head and said from the same heart: "The two brothers need to have power, otherwise they will not be able to use your abilities. ”
"I want power from the King of Heaven." Lin Haifeng smiled, "I want to organize a new army, King Ning needs to build a large armory, and he also needs the approval of the Heavenly King, as well as the great help of the royal brothers." ”
Yang Xiuqing looked at the Heavenly King without thinking, "This is a good thing, of course we have to rely on it and support it." ”
Hong Xiuquan also smiled and nodded, "Yes, of course." ”
Shi Dakai looked at Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan, "With the support of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King, the two of you can ask for people and money." I hope that you will do your best to build a foreign gun team, and when the time comes, you will have to make the demons tremble. As he spoke, he smirked.
Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing also smiled with satisfaction.
"It's not a foreign gun team," Zheng Nan corrected with a smile, "It's our own gun!" ”
"This gun, oh no, is it really that powerful like the one you say?" Hong Xiuquan looked at Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan with some disbelief, "To be honest, that foreign gun is already powerful enough, if we really have a guy who is more powerful than a foreign gun, then wouldn't sweeping away the demons be like walking on the ground?" ”
"What is a foreign gun," Zheng Nan snorted disdainfully, "When King An has trained the new army, you royal brothers can go and watch it." At that time, the royal brothers will appreciate the role of new weapons. I dare say that, as long as we are fully prepared, dozens of our soldiers can stop thousands of Qing soldiers in one place and immobilize him. ”
"Okay," Hong Xiuquan nodded again and again, "Then the Haifeng brothers will do their best to train the new army, but I can't wait." As he spoke, he smiled.
"Yes, it is necessary to pay close attention to the establishment of a new army." Shi Dakai smiled at Lin Haifeng, "Brother Haifeng, can you talk about your next arrangement for the Celestial Empire?" ”
"Okay," Lin Haifeng readily agreed, "Just as the East King said just now, after Lin Fengxiang's troops are safely withdrawn, we will first concentrate our forces to destroy Xiang Rong's Jiangnan battalion." Then he sent troops to the east, seized Shanghai, and pacified Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the land of fish and rice, and with Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we have the space and backing for development. ”
"What to do with the camp in Jiangbei?" Yang Xiuqing asked. Of course, it was a good thing to be able to follow the Eastern Expedition, but he couldn't help but consider the threat that the hundreds of thousands of Qing troops in the Jiangbei camp would bring to Tianjing once the Eastern Expedition was carried out.
Lin Haifeng smiled, "I want to try not to rush to move it in the short term." In order to consume the strength of the Qing army, first stick Qishan under the fortified cities of Yangzhou and Zhenjiang. At the same time, you can also give Xianfeng a reassuring pill to eat, Qi Shan and these people like to report good news and not bad news. After we pacify Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we will settle the general account with him. ”
