Chapter 35 - The Two Kings of the Taiping Army
The forced palace turned into a mutiny......
Li Qing also wanted to vomit blood at this time, but now he had more important things to do, and he didn't have time to think about why the forced palace turned into a mutiny?
After a period of silence, Li Qing immediately yelled and asked his subordinates to immediately set up a radio station......
After some tedious operations, the radio soldier said that he could already contact the outside and asked Li Qing if he had contacted the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Bureau.
Li Qing immediately yelled, "At this time, you still contact the headquarters, are you not dying fast enough?" Do you want to give you a ride in person? ”
The radio soldier had a white face and said in a low voice: "Then who do you want to contact?" ”
"Contact Lao Tzu immediately, a little faster, and ...... move"
After some turnover, Zhang Yun, who was preparing to fall asleep in Xiangxi, received urgent information from Li Qing, and of course, in Caozhou, Shandong, there were other radio stations that also sent the same information. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Because of the Taiping Army's station, such a position is obviously not only the agents of the Military Intelligence Bureau here, but also many other Zhang Yun's eyeliner.
After a little consideration, Zhang Yun picked up Li Qing's telegram without hesitation.
Just at the first glance, Zhang Yun almost spurted out a mouthful of blood......
"Li Xiucheng's death?"
Zhang Yun's heart set off a monstrous wave, what kind of rhythm is this!
At this time~ time is racing against time, the Taiping army may collapse at any time, and the situation in the whole world may go beyond recognition......
At this juncture, Zhang Yun doesn't want to go to anyone to discuss, what should he do about this matter?
On the contrary, he made a quick decision, went to the telegraph room, and ordered the telegraph staff on duty around the clock to immediately get in touch with Li Qing, who was far away in Shandong.
After some twists and turns, Zhang Yun finally got in touch with Li Qing directly, and after some understanding......
When Zhang Yun knew about the Taiping Army, the little by little and bit when there was a mutiny...... immediately gave an order to Li Qing, "Help Yang Desheng beside you to get up and sit on the other throne of the Taiping Army." ”
"All kinds of follow-up support will then arrive in Shandong, and all the intelligence networks in Shandong and its surroundings, as well as the resources of various patriotic forces in the surrounding area, are at your disposal, and there is only one...... You must help Yang Desheng up! ”
"and the remaining Zhou Yuancheng of the Taiping Army, forming a situation of equality......"
After receiving the order from Zhang Yun, Li Qing turned his head to look at Yang Desheng and said, "General Yang, oh no, it's Lord Yang, Li is here to congratulate you first!" ”
Yang Desheng was a little inexplicable, he was still guessing that he would be beheaded, but now looking at Li Qing's expression, it looks like he is about to be lucky, which makes Yang Desheng a little confused.
And Li Qing was still a little confused when he saw Yang Desheng!
After thinking about it, he patiently explained to him: "You also heard the information from the Taiping Army just now, where is Li Xiucheng, and the other three, who were co-opted by Li and ready to support the prince, all of them are hanging in the chaos army......"
"Now the Taiping army is in chaos, some people want to take refuge in the puppet Qing, and some people want to stand on their own...... The part of the people who want to stand on their own, we don't want to care about it, but the part of the people who want to take refuge in the puppet Qing Dynasty......"
"Resolutely fight!"
Yang Desheng didn't wait for Li Qing to finish speaking, and said aggressively.
Li Qing smiled, this person is still quite on the road, and said: "Just now Li received an order from the marshal to support you Yang Desheng, and Zhou Yuancheng, who survived the chaos and had great development, became the two kings of the Taiping Army......"
"So from now on, Li will call you Lord Yang......"
Yang Desheng's heart was shocked, could it be that the ancestral tomb was about to smoke? I, Yang Desheng, can also be strong! Make a name for yourself in the whole world?
However, although he was very excited in his heart, Yang Desheng did not show the slightest appearance on the surface, but instead leaned into Li Qing and said: "Yang Moufu is thin, I'm afraid I can't take on this heavy responsibility, I'm afraid I will live up to the hard work of the handsome man when the time comes!" ”
When Li Qing heard this, he almost laughed out loud!
That's not that much! Yang Desheng is already such a dog, no wonder the big handsome insists on supporting Yang Desheng...... Such an acquaintance, if you don't mention him~ Who can the handsome person mention?
Of course, Li Qing didn't show these thoughts at all, just relying on the information sent by Zhang Yun and various hidden words as evidence......
In full force by radio mobilization...... The strength of the Patriotic Army near Caozhou, Shandong, these miscellaneous forces made Li Qing an eye-opener......
Among the brothels, bandits, peasants, monks, Taoist priests, storytellers and merchants, and even local officials who have fallen to the Patriotic Army, etc.!
These powers, which were previously unreachable at Li Qing's level, are now under his control...... This is Li Qing's heart, but there are some ups and downs!
Originally, the great credit was about to be obtained, and he saw that he was about to return to Xiangxi, but this civil strife in the Taiping Army, which was provoked by himself, deviated from the track he set......
Don't know what good results you can get in the future? Will it be attacked!
However, at the moment, Li Qing didn't plan to think about this, and seized the opportunity to put Yang Desheng in the position of the prince first, so that he could also redeem his guilt and reduce his guilt in the future.
Moreover, the current situation is already very urgent, if it is done a little later, the hundreds of thousands of Taiping soldiers will probably be scattered......
Therefore, Li Qing immediately took Yang Desheng and went straight to the original station of the Taiping Army.
……
"Bang Bang ......"
When Li Qing rushed back with thousands of elite men and horses, hurried, slow, and hurried, the entire original garrison of the Taiping Army had already become a pot of porridge.
However, Li Qing let go of the heart he had been carrying...... How did the Taiping Army fight? Even if the human brain beats the dog brain...... It's none of my business!
As long as these people are still here and don't flee in all directions, Li Qing is happy, after all, his main purpose is just Yang Desheng and Zhou Yuancheng to help them to become the throne.
There is a prerequisite for this, that is, each person must have at least 100,000 soldiers and horses, and then the two of them can work together to be supported by Zhang Yun...... Hold back the main forces of the Manchus.
And now, Zhou Yuancheng himself already has more than 100,000 troops, so now as long as Li Qing wins for Yang Desheng and attracts more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, this trip to Shandong will be successfully over!
In the mountainous area, more than ten miles away from the battlefield, Li Qing ordered his troops to set up camps. At the same time, send several scouts to the places where the fighting is most fierce to find out the military situation!
After everything was in order, Li Qing had time to talk to Yang Desheng...... It's just that what makes Li Qing cry and laugh is ...... Yang Desheng was looking at himself intently.
Li Qing didn't hide it from Yang Desheng along the way, so ~ Yang Desheng at this time can be said to be up and down in his heart...... In the blink of an eye, the old hen turned into a duck! Zhang Yun actually wants to support himself as a king?
All right! Even if it's not the king.
That is also one of the two kings of the Taiping Army, looking at Zhang Yun's meaning, with the dispersion of hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops, I am afraid that the Taiping Army will only have two princes in the future!
One is Zhou Yuancheng, and the other is himself.
Therefore, Yang Deshun's mood at this time could not be calmed down, and he never doubted Zhang Yun's energy...... Zhang Yun said that if he supports himself and becomes one of the princes of the Taiping Army, he will definitely be able to do it.
So from the time he heard the news, Yang Desheng has been staring at Li Qing closely.
You must know that in the Taiping Army now, there are still many military leaders who can come out, and some are not even worse than Zhou Yuancheng, who has more than 100,000 soldiers and horses.
Supporting anyone is more than supporting oneself at present, not to mention anything else, at least the energy to pay, I don't know how much can be saved......
If he didn't keep an eye on Li Qing, in case he gave Zhang Yun a sentence, "Yang Desheng died in the chaos, and his subordinates were forced to have no choice but to make a decision and support those who are good at our patriotic army...... Other generals of the Taiping Army ......"
Treat others with yourself!
Yang Desheng feels that the incidence rate of this kind of thing should not be low...... At least if you stand in Li Qing's position, who is supporting you is not supporting, why do you have to support Yang Desheng?
The most important thing is that you Yang Desheng don't have a soldier or a pawn, and you have to ask Lao Tzu to work hard for you, looking at the whole world, is there a lot of such good things?
Originally, these secret thoughts, with Yang Desheng's personality, could be hidden very well, but it was a pity that he cared about it, and when it came to his own vital interests, he couldn't take his eyes off Li Qing.
That is, Li Qing had been busy in front of him and didn't notice him, and when this busyness came to an end...... Li Qing finally found Yang Desheng and was watching him all the time......
"Haha......"
Therefore, Li Qing laughed unscrupulously!
It wasn't until he felt that Yang Desheng was gradually unable to get down the steps that Li Qing suppressed his laughter and said, "Yang Tianwang, Li knows what you're worried about...... Here, Li wants to say to you, your worries are simply superfluous. ”
The entire Patriotic Army ...... up and down No one has dared to disobey the meaning of the marshal, of course, there are those who dare to disobey the marshal, but those people ...... I'm afraid the bones have long since dried up!
"And you also heard with your own ears that the handsome man wants to support you to be the prince, in this case, who are you afraid of? Don't look at the group fighting happily now, but if you leave the support of the big handsome! ”
"Hey......
Yang Desheng slandered himself in his heart, such a big thing, of course Lao Tzu has to care, how can it be up to you Li Qing to say whatever you say!
But this kind of words, of course, he hid in his heart, and did not show the slightest on the surface, but said sincerely: "What is the prince not the prince...... In front of your brother Li, it's just a joke! ”
Looking at Yang Desheng, where he couldn't help but make a big fuss, the corners of Li Qing's mouth curled, and he was about to say something......
"Report ......"
The sound of the sentinel reporting in the distance instantly made Li Qing lose the interest to continue talking!
After the sentinel arrived, Li Qing inquired in detail about the parties that were fighting......
Ten minutes later, all the information has been told by the sentinel, but Li Qing's face is bitter, now the Taiping army is divided into three groups, those who don't want to be soldiers anymore and want to go to the world to be happy have already left the scene...... Nowhere to be found!
The rest of the people are the resistance faction led by Zhou Yuancheng, and the surrender faction with more than 100,000 people, fighting for the remnants left by the Taiping army......
There are more than 100,000 guns on each side, and since Li Xiucheng's death, they have been fighting until now, but unfortunately there has been no result, and the battlefield is currently in a stalemate!
After all, after Li Xiucheng's death, the silver taels and grain left by the original Taiping Army are not a small amount.
The faction that wanted to surrender to the Manchus also wanted to pull away this batch of money and grain, and use it to raise it as a stepping stone to open the mansions of high-ranking Manchu officials!
And Zhou Yuancheng is just the opposite, he has already won the clear support of Zhang Yun in Xiangxi, but he wants to take all the money and food left by Li Xiucheng into his hands and transform them into strength in his hands.
When Li Xiucheng broke through from Nanjing, he was like a dead dog!
But when he got Zhang Yun's support, the old hen turned into a duck in an instant, and he became a king, that majestic ......
And the self who broke through from Nanjing together can only be like a green leaf with saffron, all the light is covered by Li Xiucheng!
And this time, the great opportunity is in front of him, and the position of the king he once dreamed of seems to be only a stone's throw away from him!
At this time, some people want to jump out and surrender to the Manchus, counting on the Manchu masters to take a fancy to their combat strength, and then they can win glory and wealth, and glorify their ancestors!
After all, in the eyes of some short-sighted people, the Manchus still represented orthodoxy after all...... If you want to glorify your ancestors, you still have to find the Manchu Qing!
Originally, Zhou Yuancheng was very happy to see them do this, but if they wanted to leave with this batch of money and food and go to their new master, Zhou Yuancheng would never allow this kind of thing to happen......
As a result, the war has been fought from the moment Li Xiucheng died until now!
And when Li Qing and Yang Desheng learned all this, they couldn't help but look at each other!
After a while, Li Qing spoke: "The situation is not optimistic! ”
Yang Desheng nodded again and again with a bitter face......
