Chapter 156: Half of a Family

Chen Dingtian actually proposed half of the family, such a method is really strange. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info However, Feng Yuniang also felt that it was obviously a good way, because the Taiping Army wanted to master Zhenjiang, and that was because this Zhenjiang was the eastern gate of the Taiping Army, and if it was mastered by others, it might be in the face of the enemy's invasion at any time. Although the Heaven and Earth Society also belongs to the side of the rebel army, the current attitude of the Heaven and Earth Society is too weird, and the other side actually has dealings with Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which worries them the most. So it must be in their own hands, but this Zhenjiang is also very important to the Heaven and Earth Society, especially this Zhenjiang is in the hands of the Taiping Army, so they can launch an Eastern Crusade at any time, so there is no warning at all, then there will definitely be problems.

Therefore, in this way, they also have to occupy Zhenjiang in street battles to obtain a means of early warning, otherwise once the Taiping army suddenly turns around, they will also have a way to defend and mobilize in time. At present, although the Tiandihui and Fujian do not have many troops on the surface, in fact, they are closely related to the militia of all kinds of people, etc., adding up to hundreds of thousands. Although the quality of the army is relatively poor, it is still okay to wave the flag and shout.

Of course, the vast majority of the 800,000 troops of the Taiping Army are also of this color, and the real elite soldiers do not exceed 100,000. And none of these elite soldiers in Liangguang are more than 50,000, and even in fact, the backbone of the Taiping Army was formed by Liangguang people. Even the "believers" in this are not the majority, and in this case, it seems that the Taiping Army is amazing, but it is obviously not very strong.

Zhejiang, on the other hand, adopted the practice of hiding troops from the people, and did not openly organize large troops, but only mobilized them when needed. In this way, it does not attract people's attention, especially the attention of the surrounding forces, and avoids being listed as the target of the first wave of strikes, and the development of farming is good.

"Miss Feng Yuniang, I don't think we are really enemies, we are all the same as you, we are all anti-Qing. Even if we meet in the future, we will have to overthrow our common enemy first, we will overthrow the Manchus first, and then think about how to chase the Central Plains. Chen Dingtian said.

Chen Dingtian's meaning is very obvious, that is, the two sides will first maintain peace, and after the Manchu Qing is overthrown, everyone will fight for control of this so-called country. Especially in the case of a common enemy, the Manchus had to be defeated before deciding who would control China.

It is in the interests of both sides to take out the common enemy first. Anyway, that's it, this kind of thing is to fight the country, and it is also important to pay attention to who to fight first and who to fight first. At least clean up the Manchu Qing first, and then Chen Dingtian and the Taiping army will come to the Central Plains!

Of course, whether Chen Dingtian will fight with the Taiping Army or not, that is only known to the author.

"Half of the Zhenjiang family, so we have to report to the East King nine thousand years old!" Feng Yuniang said.

Hearing that this East King was nine thousand years old, Chen Dingtian immediately knew that this was Yang Xiuqing, Yang Xiuqing was currently the actual ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he had already set this Hong Xiuquan in the air. And the word "nine thousand years old" sounds very funny. However, in this era, 9,000 years old does not mean the meaning of later generations, but refers to the meaning of the ministers. In fact, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, is also a powerful minister, 9,000 years old.

This kind of thing is indeed not something that Feng Yuniang, a guard, can make his own decisions. Of course, with Feng Yuniang's many years of experience on the battlefield, of course she knew that this was not the time to fall out with heaven and earth. Chen Dingtian is right, it is not suitable to let the Taiping Army and the Heaven and Earth Society fight immediately, once they fight, the consequences will be unimaginable. In this way, once the Manchus were given a chance to breathe, and they fell into internal friction, then they would inevitably lose both. So if you can't fight, you still don't fight.

Feng Yuniang quickly passed the news to Jiangning, the city that had just been renamed Tianjing, through carrier pigeons, and this information was quickly sent to Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East.

"King Dong, Su Sanniang reported that they met the soldiers of the Heaven and Earth Society in Zhenjiang. Thousands of cavalry, very elite, and the person who led the troops on the other side was a female general, and Su Sanniang had a competition with her. However, it was obvious that he suffered a loss, because the other party was on horseback, and Su Sanniang was fighting on foot, so he suffered a lot. And Su Sanniang returned, she said that if the fight really started, the thousands of infantry under him alone would probably not be enough for the other party to stuff his teeth. ”

And Su Sanniang thinks that it is not suitable to start a war with Zhejiang at present, which is just to make the Manchu Tartars laugh. And Chen Dingtian, who is about the Heaven and Earth Society, put forward a plan, that is, Zhenjiang City will be jointly managed by the two sides, and half of the family will be in charge. Simulate the way they live in their nest in Shanghai, and set up a municipal council, and the so-called municipal council is managed by both of us, what do you think? Both sides can garrison troops here, but in principle each side cannot garrison more than 30,000 troops, and each side provides its own logistical transportation. ”

Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, saw this report and began to think about it. Based on the current knowledge of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, he is actually not the ordinary small handicraft of the year, and the king of the east, Yang Xiuqing, is actually literate, and he is definitely not the illiterate that ordinary people think. You must know that their leader Hong Xiuquan was born in Xiucai and has studied Western Christianity, so he is definitely not ignorant of the local culture and the international external situation, but knows the external situation more than many local people. If the Taiping army is measured by a simple magic stick, it is also the army. The cultural level of the top level of the Taiping Army is definitely the highest among the rebel armies in China, and even they have a lot of international vision.

Yang Xiuqing knows very well that it is not suitable to fight Ali with this world at present, so they are also very embarrassed now.

"King of the East, we have Heaven and Earth Society in the east, and Yiliang in the south. And these two forces, which were originally officials and bandits, broke one of Zhou Lichun's legs last time when Yiliang and Zhou Lichun, the original leader of the Heaven and Earth Society rebel army. But later, I didn't know what was going on, they actually colluded together, and even Yiliang supported the army and respected himself, and the relationship with the Heaven and Earth Society was very ambiguous. And Tiandihui seems to have a bad relationship with Qiu Erniang in Fujian, so it is also contained. Our current situation is very complicated, and Yiliang in the south has more than 100,000 troops, who can stab us in the back at any time. As for the ambiguous relationship between the heavens and the earth in the east and Yiliang, it is not good for us to move rashly, so it is obviously a move that affects the whole body. Hong Xuanjiao next to him said.

Because of the change of a small butterfly surnamed Chen, the relationship between Hong Xuanjiao and Yang Xiuqing is not as bad as it was in the original history. Of course, there is a reason for this, originally in the early days of the uprising, Xiao Chaogui's power and Yang Xiuqing were basically equal. Later, Yang Xiuqing continued to erode the power of other kings, which made Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui dissatisfied, and affected his wife Hong Xuanjiao. However, Xiao Chaogui's premature death in this time and space did not hold much power, and he could not even affect Hong Xuanjiao's perception of Yang Xiuqing. Therefore, in this time and space, Xiao Chaogui's premature death caused the relationship between Hong Xuanjiao and Yang Xiuqing not to be bad, on the contrary, the cooperation was relatively stable.

Yang Xiuqing accepted Hong Xuanjiao's proposal, and the current situation was too embarrassing, although they conquered Jiangning, but Yiliang, the governor of Liangjiang in the Manchu Qing Dynasty, had more than 100,000 troops in Jiangxi, and his strength was not only not damaged in the slightest, but increased a lot. As for the Oriental Heaven and Earth Society, I don't know why it has an ambiguous relationship with Yiliang, which is the weird place.

"It seems that we have to cancel the Northern Expedition!" Yang Xiuqing said.

Of course, Yang Xiuqing knew that he had to cancel the Northern Expedition plan, especially in this way, the Northern Expedition plan was originally hoped to send troops to the Northern Expedition to the capital after conquering Jiangning, and hoped that after conquering the capital, the world would spread the word. However, at present, there is obvious collusion between Yiliang and Tiandi in the south, even if it is not wearing a pair of pants, it is a very ambiguous relationship. So Yang Xiuqing is of course afraid that someone will stab him in the south, in case he sends the elite out of the Northern Expedition, what if Yiliang in the south stabs himself? You must know that although Yiliang is still the governor of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and Liangjiang, if he rashly transfers the elite, it will also be very dangerous for the Taiping army.

However, Yang Xiuqing obviously didn't know that he was stopped from the Northern Expedition, but in fact, it was also a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse. This avoids the attrition of tens of thousands of elites out of thin air, which is also helpful, and it is not a bad thing to save strength and use it in more useful places. On the contrary, it may be much better to use good steel on the blade of the knife, so that the prayer is much more effective.

"This is half of a family, I don't think you can't do it, as for what is that municipal council?" Yang Xiuqing asked.

Hong Xuanjiao quickly took the carrier pigeon and said: "This is not clear, it seems to be used for collective management and collective responsibility." Su Sanniang didn't know the specific things, and it was proposed by Chen Dingtian from the Heaven and Earth Society. This proposed by Chen Dingtian, that should be true. Especially the husband of Zhou Xiuying, the leader of the Chen Ding Tiandi Society, what he said should be more counting? ”

"Chen Dingtian, that is, the Chen Dingtian who wrote about the protracted war? He's actually in Zhenjiang? Yang Xiuqing was suddenly surprised.

In Feng Yuniang's place, he quickly received a reply from Hong Xuanjiao's carrier pigeon, and after opening the letter.

"Dongwang agreed to this condition, but he hopes that Mr. Chen, you will go to Tianjing in person and talk to him." Feng Yuniang said.

Mo Qing hurriedly said: "No, no, absolutely not!" ”

Mo Qing heard that Chen Dingtian wanted to go to Tianjing to discuss with Yang Xiuqing in person, so he obviously refused immediately. At present, Mo Qing knows very well that Chen Dingtian is the link between these women and the forces behind them, and Chen Dingtian's value is far more than what it seems. If the Taiping Army detains Chen Dingtian, what should I do if I want to blackmail Zhou Xiuying, Qiu Erniang and Mo Qing at the same time, if so, Zhou Xiuying, Qiu Erniang and Mo Qing are very embarrassed, so that they will not be slaughtered by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time?

And once there is any accident in Chengdingtian, the connection between Mo Qing, Zhou Xiuying, Qiu Erniang and even Yiliang will be completely broken, and the forces between several women will also lose hope of integration, and the complete split will not be bridged. Chen Dingtian is a person that everyone can accept, even if he really wants to support a nominal leader, only Chen Dingtian can be accepted by everyone. So once Chen Dingtian has an accident, it will be very dangerous.

However, Chen Dingtian said: "It doesn't matter, there is no big problem. ”

Chen Dingtian is still very relieved, because the Taiping Army still doesn't know the relationship between himself and Fujian Qiu Erniang, and they are also not clear, Mo Qing is behind Shandong Xiangma, and it is not clear that Chen Dingtian is also Yiliang's son-in-law, so in this way, the Taiping Army only knows that Chen Dingtian is Zhou Xiuying's husband, and he doesn't even have much power.

Maybe in the Taiping Army, Chen Dingtian is regarded as a little white face who eats soft rice! (Actually, too!) So in the eyes of most people, Chen Dingtian's value is not high, so the value of tying up Chen Dingtian is not big, so they won't do this kind of stupid thing.

Chen Dingtian can go to Tianjing with confidence, so there will be no big problems. Chen Dingtian thinks that Yang Xiuqing will not be so stupid to detain himself, because Chen Dingtian's value is only known by a few women, at most it is some high-level people, and these guys will not say it stupidly, because it will not be good for them. The value of Chen Dingtian's disclosure to the public is actually not high, and it is of little use if he is seized.

On the contrary, it is also possible to enter the Taiping Army and find out the reality of the Taiping Army, so that you can understand what kind of people are in the Taiping Army.

Although there are many slanderous words and phrases about the Taiping Army in history. Of course, this may be half-true, and some of it may be true, but it may be more deliberately written by some Qing Dynasty literati. Because of the class position of the Manchus, it was normal to slander vigorously. Therefore, Chen Dingtian thinks that maybe there must be problems with the Taiping Army, but it will definitely not be so exaggerated.

Specifically, you can consider entering Tianjing to find out what kind of people are there. After figuring out what kind of person they are, then we can really judge how to deal with their relationship, so as to ensure that they can really figure out how to treat them and what kind of attitude they should have.

However, what should be done is still to be seen as believing, and it cannot be judged only by the statements of the Manchus in history slandering the Taiping Army, and it is not appropriate to use it as affirmative.

"Mo Qing, it shouldn't matter if you follow me with thousands of cavalry. I think with thousands of cavalry following, it won't be too much of a problem, so I think we can get a good idea of what this Taiping army is like. And you follow me, I am very relieved, after all, we have also been in negative distance contact! Chen Dingtian whispered.

Mo Qing's face was quite shy, and she knew what this "negative distance" meant.

"Negative distance contact, what does that mean?" Feng Yuniang asked.
