When Chen Dingtian lamented the fate of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the original history, in this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom conference hall, he still continued to quarrel. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Yang Xiuqing and Bian Sanniang, the king of the East, quarreled over the next Taiping army's plan to support the army, and no one around dared to persuade them. Because Yang Xiuqing is a powerful minister of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he is the de facto ruler. But although this Bian Sanniang is also a female general on the surface, in fact, there is the king Hong Xiuquan standing behind him, although this Hong Xiuquan does not seem to have much power, but it is not something that ordinary people can easily oppose. Because Yang Xiuqing is the de facto ruler, but Hong Xiuquan is not bad, he is also the nominal ruler. Although Hong Xiuquan does not have much power, it also depends on which level. If it may not have much power for the high-level, but for the middle and low-level, then he can make you unlucky. Therefore, the vast majority of people chose to protect themselves in this conflict, and did not dare to open their mouths casually to help either side.

"I think it is still necessary to occupy Jiangnan, only after occupying Jiangnan and Huguang, can we really lay the foundation, and have the foundation to go to the Northern Expedition to the Manchu Qing! Otherwise, if we don't even have a foundation, how can we be stable? Yang Xiuqing asked.

But Bian Sanniang snorted: "Hmph, as long as we concentrate our elite forces and directly attack the capital north, then our heavenly kingdom can directly destroy the Manchu Tartars, don't worry about anything." At that time, once the capital is breached by us, the world can almost be passed on, what else is there to fear? At that time, our Heavenly King could directly ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan and truly establish our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! ”

Hong Xiuquan also smiled, of course he hoped to enter the capital as soon as possible, so that he could ascend to the throne as soon as possible. This Hong Xiuquan has no real faith, and the reason why this Hong Xiuquan rebelled is just because of his own ambition. As for what he said about building the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and building an ideal society, this is not his idea. He just wants to be a king, although most of his power is currently emptied by Yang Xiuqing, he still wants to be an emperor. To be an emperor, this is what many men want. Even if it's just an emperor with little real power, it's very attractive. Hong Xiuquan thinks that as long as he sits on the throne first, then he will take the righteousness in his hands first, and then he will be the king and minister, and he can fight with Yang Xiuqing at that time. The coming day is long, and there is no hurry at this moment.

But Yang Xiuqing is not stupid, this Northern Expedition is obviously a pit. Let's not talk about whether the Northern Expedition can capture the capital, can you meet this long journey of the Northern Expedition, all kinds of logistical supplies and various support needs along the way? Obviously, it is impossible, and the current weak logistics system of the First Taiping Army can only be supplemented by local looting. Even if you take a step back, let's just say what will happen after you conquer the capital? After conquering the capital, this will cause the collapse of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and once the central government of the Manchu Qing Dynasty collapses, the local officials and powerful factions of the Manchu Qing Dynasty will take the opportunity to make independent rebellion everywhere. At present, Yang Xiuqing is clear that various local powerful factions in the Manchu Qing Dynasty have begun to form armies and so-called militia groups. Once the Manchus lost control, the consequence was to create more enemies for the Taipings.

Because the central power of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is still there, the local powerful factions dare not go too far, because there are still people to restrain them. On the contrary, if the Manchu regime falls, the local powerful faction will completely lose its restraint and swell even more. At that time, the enemies of the Taiping army were many times more inflated out of thin air, and most of the local powerful factions would win the so-called popular hearts and minds in the name of avenging the Manchu regime. The Manchu Qing Dynasty has been in the customs for many years, and the vast majority of the people have recognized the legitimacy of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and when the time comes, they can recruit talents under the banner of revenge for the Manchu Dynasty.

At that time, even if the Manchu Qing were defeated, in the end, the Taiping army would make more enemies. On the contrary, if the Manchus were retained, their internal struggle might become more intense, and the Manchus would both use and guard against the local powerful factions, and on the contrary, they would restrain those local powerful factions to a certain extent. Moreover, under the coordination of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the enemies of the Taiping army were still "controllable". If there was no Manchu coordination, the Taiping enemy's enemies would become "uncontrollable" and unpredictable, and this would be the biggest trouble. In a sense, a controllable enemy is much safer than a group of uncontrollable enemies.

The Northern Expedition to destroy the Qing Dynasty was just a taken for granted. Let's not talk about whether it works militarily, first of all, politically, it will do more harm than good, so that Yang Xiuqing is not stupid!

But this Hong Xiuquan has been carried away by the emperor's position, which makes him very embarrassed, Yang Xiuqing is an East King after all, even if he is "nine thousand years old", but he is still a thousand years old from long live! This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom relied on religion to start its business, and it was also because of religion that bound him. If it weren't for religious factors, Yang Xiu would have usurped the throne early in the morning, and he would have played as much as he wanted.

"I don't agree, the Northern Expedition obviously did more harm than good, and it was chaotic. Zhu Yuanzhang also said back then, build a high wall, accumulate grain, and slowly become the king, why are we in such a hurry to go to the Northern Expedition? Yang Xiuqing asked.

However, as Hong Xiuquan's "mouth", Bian Sanniang directly began to refute: "At present, the world is in chaos, as long as we destroy the Manchu Qing Dynasty and prove our strength, then the world will not dare to disobey!" When the time comes, who will dare to disobey the leader of our Heavenly King, who will dare? ”

Yang Xiuqing asked rhetorically: "Our heavenly kingdom is so powerful?" If others don't know, don't we know ourselves? How many of our 800,000 troops are truly reliable? Our army of 800,000 will definitely not exceed 100,000 real elites, and this so-called elite is actually counted as those who are trained. If according to the standards of real elite soldiers, it is not bad that we can actually have 50,000 elites. So, are we really so powerful that we can subdue everyone in the world? ”

But Bian Sanniang scolded directly: "King Dong, you are growing up others to destroy your own prestige, what do you mean?" ”

"I'm just talking about things, and our current conditions are not yet ripe. We only need more food and territory, and we still need more time to train our soldiers and horses, so that the soldiers and horses can strive to become elite soldiers as soon as possible, and the real elite soldiers will talk about the Northern Expedition. We're just fat, fat! Yang Xiuqing said.

This is an internal meeting, and Yang Xiuqing doesn't mind saying that. Of course, in fact, the Taiping Army is fat, and many people understand this. The so-called 800,000 troops of the Taiping Army are not really elite. Even if the Manchu Qing had enough troops, they could concentrate their forces together to suppress the Taiping army. At present, the Manchu Qing Dynasty has a twist army involved in the north, and legend has it that the twist is millions, so the Manchu Qing Dynasty does not dare to move easily. Coupled with the surging of various rebel forces, the Manchu forces began to be overstretched. At present, the Taiping Army has been able to achieve such achievements, and it is due to many factors. Not only because of their leaders, but also because of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the face of the surging rebel forces, they also felt great pressure and did not dare to move easily. Even the Manchu Qing's Jiangnan grain and salary channels had been cut off, and their logistics were insufficient.

Bian Sanniang directly scolded and said: "Yang Xiuqing, are you looking down on the Heavenly King?" What do you mean by this, don't you want to enter the capital as soon as possible, and then let the Heavenly King ascend to the Ninth Five-Year Plan? Or rather, you want to usurp the throne? ”

Bian Sanniang's words immediately made the county silent, and the needle drop could be heard! Bian Sanniang actually used the word "usurpation", which immediately made everyone even more angry. Because this is not a general problem, I can't say that this time it is about to start a showdown. Although Yang Xiuqing is currently a powerful minister, he still has not come to the step of usurping the throne. But if Bian Sanniang said so this time and directly used the word "usurpation" to force Yang Xiuqing, would Yang Xiuqing be forced to have a direct showdown and directly force Hong Xiuquan to abdicate. If you do this, then you are causing chaos in the Taiping Heavens!

The foundation of this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was founded by religion, and religion will inevitably deify some people, such as Hong Xiuquan. If Yang Xiuqing dared to usurp the throne, then perhaps the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's military and economic strength would not be dealt a big blow, but it would be seriously destroyed in terms of ideology. Because of the ideological system, this thing seems to be invisible and intangible, but human beings still have thoughts, and once the ideology and belief collapse, it is just a living dead. Because of the stubbornness of the religious system, Yang Xiuqing did not dare to go to the step of usurping the throne, because the slightest carelessness is an abyss!

Yang Xiuqing clenched his hands into fists, obviously not knowing whether to have a complete showdown. At present, the capital of Jiangning has just been determined, and if there is a rash civil strife, it will be a huge blow to the Taiping army forces that have not heard of it.

Hong Xiuquan was also nervous for a while, he actually didn't expect this Bian Sanniang to say the word "usurpation" so openly, and it was too late to stop it. If Yang Xiuqing is forced to have a showdown, then Hong Xiuquan may not be sure to stop it. In fact, Hong Xiuquan was not ready for a showdown with Yang Xiuqing, so now he is extremely embarrassed.

The atmosphere became strange, and no one dared to speak.

However, as the winged king Shi Dakai, whose status is second only to the four kings of the southeast and northwest, he took the initiative to break the deadlock at this time.

"I think so, it's better to carry out the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition at the same time!" Shi Dakai said.

Shi Dakai is planning to dilute the mud, if this matter is not solved as soon as possible, the consequences will be unimaginable. If Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan are really forced to start a showdown, the civil war in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom may break out. If that's the case, it's too funny, the Manchus didn't solve it, and the Taiping army itself actually broke out into a civil war, so that's the real funny.

Shi Dakai hurriedly worked with the mud to try to suppress this matter.

However, Shi Dakai and the thin mud were obviously not very successful.

"Do we have enough troops? Do we have enough troops to start both the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition at the same time? Yang Xiuqing asked.

Shi Dakai was speechless, as if they really didn't have enough troops! Originally, in history, the Taiping army launched the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition at the same time, which was established in the east and had a small knife uprising, which contained a large number of Manchu troops. At that time, Xiaodao would have the same common enemy with the Taiping Army, so naturally he would not go to the Taiping Army's bad luck. And Jiangxi, which was originally in the south in history, did not have Yiliang as an enemy.

But in this time and space, the Heaven and Earth Society has ruled Zhejiang because of Chen Dingtian's butterfly effect. And the relationship between the Heaven and Earth Society is very ambiguous, although they are all rebels, but the enemies of the so-called enemies are not necessarily friends. Zhu Yuanzhang was not the same back then, Zhu Yuanzhang first destroyed those forces that were also rebels, and then the Northern Expedition to Mengyuan. No one dares to guarantee that this heaven and earth will be absolute friends, and you dare not bet on them!

And Yiliang in the south, the power is actually not damaged, Yiliang took the initiative to withdraw from Jiangning, not was repulsed, so the power was actually not damaged, on the contrary, it has increased a lot, and it is more condensed. What's even more terrifying is that Zhejiang Tiandihui and Yiliang have an ambiguous attitude, and even Yang Xiuqing knows that Chen Dingtian, the husband of Zhou Xiuying, the leader of Zhejiang Tiandihui, is also Yiliang's father-in-law. It can be said that there is a connection between them, and no one is sure whether this Yiliang and Heaven and Earth will be mixed together. Therefore, the Taiping army must leave tens of thousands of elites in the south, and cannot fight on two fronts at the same time.

In short, the situation of the Taiping Army in this time and space has changed, they only have a group of troops to fight, although don't look at the 800,000 army, but they themselves actually know in their hearts that there are not many real elites. Only by concentrating the elite to either go on the Northern Expedition or the Western Expedition, there is absolutely no possibility of fighting on two fronts at the same time.

Soon, Yang Xiuqing had no choice but to pretend to be a magic stick. Yang Xiuqing pretended to put on a few gestures, as if it was a precursor to the so-called "Heavenly Father's descent to earth". It is a privilege for this Heavenly Father to descend to earth, and it is the privilege of Yang Xiuqing to be able to set aside Hong Xiuquan at the beginning, and of course this is also Yang Xiuqing's own ability. And this Heavenly Father's descent is a sharp weapon to curb Hong Xiuquan's identity as a religious leader, so Yang Xiuqing is ready to forcibly pass the plan of the Western Expedition through the Heavenly Father's descent to the earth.

Hong Xiuquan saw this Yang Xiuqing pretending to be a ghost, and he was immediately very annoyed. At that time, he valued Yang Xiuqing's so-called talent and allowed him, the "Heavenly Father", to descend to earth. But now the other party actually used this to counter himself, making Hong Xiuquan's face dark. Whether there is a "Heavenly Father" or not, Hong Xiuquan, as a god, understands very well, but there is no way.

And Chen Dingtian, who was outside, saw that Yang Xiuqing wanted Heavenly Father to go down to earth, and immediately hurriedly said, "Wait a minute, I have something to say!" ”

Chen Dingtian then hurriedly walked in and appeared in front of everyone. (To be continued.) )
