With this kind of treatment, it must be a lie to say that Lin Fengxiang and the others do not feel flattered.
Man relies on ideal support to survive. From ordinary peasants, in just three years they became real warriors, completely dependent on their devotion to the Cult of God and their love for their leader. Here, it can only be said that they are fighters, and not revolutionaries in the true sense of the word. Although some people say that they are revolutionary, and perhaps they themselves think so, they are not yet revolutionary.
They do advocate the doctrine of the Datong society, and they are willing to go to the trouble and scatter their blood on the battlefield for it. But in their subconscious, they are still silently accepting a reality, that is, an old emperor was overthrown and a new emperor was erected. If it weren't for the arrival of King An and King Ning, they would not even have any objections to the simple issue of kneeling in the past, but now they have to kneel in Datong. It can be seen how terrible the inertia of human thinking should be!
So far, Lin Haifeng can only say that he has done a smart job. He still holds high the banner of the King of Heaven and sings the theme song of "The Great Harmony of the World". It is precisely because he saw this that Hong Xiuquan is still the spiritual leader of the entire Celestial Empire's military and civilians, without him, how can it be called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Lin Fengxiang: The same is true for them. The Heavenly King is still their supreme spirit. Although the Heavenly King has done some unsatisfactory things, and even because of Shi Zhenji, everyone has almost thought of military advice, but they will not tear down their idols.
When they came to the Heavenly King's imperial study, Lin Fengxiang and the others always felt that the Heavenly King seemed to have something else to say, but he didn't say it at the banquet. The Golden Dragon Palace's banquet, if it is simply as the king said, is because of the merits of breaking the Jiangnan camp, it can be said to be a redundant move. Because, on the day the camp was broken, a celebration banquet had already been placed. Besides, the destruction of the Jiangnan camp is not only the credit of the Red Army, since it is for this, why didn't Qin Rigang and Zeng Shuiyuan come together?
As if he had seen through their thoughts, Hong Xiuquan changed his posture of sitting in the precarious position in the past, and took the silver toothpick from the female official very casually, and looked at these generals with a smile while picking his teeth, "Everyone is at ease, I declare that you have nothing else to do." As you know, since I entered Tianjing, I have been concentrating on revising the Heavenly Rules, and I have not had the opportunity to go outside to see. You have worked hard, and I can only call you here to catch up with you. I've heard that the Red Army is not ordinary, and if I hadn't seen it today, I really wouldn't have imagined what you would have looked like. ”
As he spoke, he turned his face to look at Chen Yucheng again, and nodded at him with his hand, "Yucheng, how about it, the name I changed for you is good, good luck." What is the position now? ”
Chen Yucheng smiled shyly, his original name was Picheng, because he led the boy battalion to capture Wuchang City last year, the king of heaven rewarded him, and also changed the name Yucheng to him. He understood what the Heavenly King was asking him now, so he replied with a smile, "Back to the Heavenly King, according to the title of the Heavenly Dynasty, the junior general is still the canonical holy grain of the Fourth Army of the Left, and the position is the same as that of the supervising army." ”
"Oh," Hong Xiuquan smiled, "then don't you have an equivalent position as a brigade commander?" ”
"Back to the Heavenly King, there is no need for this in the Red Army." Chen Yucheng replied seriously.
"This is not good, if you have military exploits, you will be rewarded. Some of the people who are your equivalent in the Wing King have already been promoted to command and inspection. Speaking of this, Hong Xiuquan smiled, "Well, it's actually not bad, at least you can go into battle to kill demons, and you don't have to make trouble like before." ”
Chen Yucheng lowered his head embarrassedly. Since the defeat of Wuchang last year, he has been exceptionally promoted to the canonical holy grain of the Fourth Army of the Left, serving as the same supervising army. But this is a logistics errand, for this reason, he has made a lot of noise to change positions, and even asked his uncle Chen Chengrong to ask the king of heaven. He has only one purpose, that is, to immediately cross the sword and be a real general who makes all the demons fearful. It's a pity that because the East King has always used his young age as an excuse, he insisted on not sending him to kill the demon directly.
In fact, he knew very well in his heart that Dongwang felt sorry for him, after all, he was only sixteen years old, and in Dongwang's eyes, he was still a child. Until the last resort, Dongwang will not call the children into battle. In Wuchang last year, it was only time short, and after the explosives in the tunnel were detonated, the bravest and most fearless people were needed to rush in first, and Chen Yucheng's boy boy camp happened to be the "most brave and fearless soldier" in the whole army, so this arduous task would fall on them. It is said that when King An selected hundreds of children from the boy boy camp to join the teaching brigade, King Dong was reluctant at first. After breaking the Jiangnan camp, Dongwang was even very sad because of the death and injury of many children in the boy camp. In the Heavenly Army Cemetery in the Purple Mountain, in front of the tomb of every child, there are footprints of the East King, as well as the ten thousand years of green placed by the East King himself.
Hong Xiuquan put down the toothpick in his hand, pointed to the teacups in front of several generals, and smiled, "Drink tea, this is Hunan Hibiscus tea, it tastes good, and it is still the tribute tea designated by the head of the Qing Demon in Beijing." This tea is produced in Anhua, and Tao Shu, the governor of the Qing Demon Daoguang period, once made a poem for this tea in his hometown, "Only then did Gu Yu see the flag gun and arrange the fire pit packing box." There are many female companions on the top of Furong Mountain, and the fairy tea is fragrant with mist. Although there is a suspicion of boasting that the tea in his hometown is good, the taste is really good and it is worth tasting. ”
Seeing that Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and Ji Wenyuan all picked up the teacups, tasted them carefully, and praised them from time to time, Hong Xiuquan nodded with satisfaction. Then he turned his face to look at Chen Yucheng, who just politely touched the teacup, and the three of them didn't move much, he was a little strange again, "Why don't you drink?" Don't like it? ”
Chen Yucheng hurriedly shook his hand, "Back to the Heavenly King, this tea is really good tea, and you can smell the overflowing aroma before you drink it." It's just that we don't drink tea. ”
"This is fresh, why don't you like tea?" Hong Xiuquan looked at Chen Yucheng and smiled.
"The Heavenly King doesn't know anything," Lin Fengxiang put down the teacup and arched his hand to the Heavenly King, "His Royal Highness King An doesn't drink tea, so the teaching brigade will start this habit." ”
"Haha, I see, no wonder." Hong Xiuquan smiled happily.
"That's not bad, at least the teaching brigade has also reduced the supply of tea, and it can save some silver taels." Li Kaifang looked at Chen Yucheng and them, and then at the Heavenly King, and smiled, "However, we are used to it, and we can't quit." ”
"Good, good, the ancients said, don't take good as small and don't do it, don't take evil as small and do it. A few people may not be able to see anything if they are thrifty, but when there are more people, it becomes wealth. To be a general is to learn to be kind to the soldiers and be strict with yourself, so that the soldiers can sincerely support you. Hong Xiuquan tried his best to use his imagination and said a lot of words about how to cherish the soldiers and the people. True or fake, at least when he said this, he must have not included himself.
A few people who listened nodded their heads. In the same way, no one seems to have delved into the reasonableness of the extravagance of the Heavenly King. They all have only one thought, that is, the Heavenly King can correct the Heavenly Article more reasonable, and don't have a tragedy like Shi Zhenji, don't do it again
Later, Hong Xiuquan also talked about shaving hair in the Red Army. He said that this shaving was not in line with the rules, but considering the actual effect, he still recognized this Yunyun, and tried his best to show his open-mindedness and sanctity to the generals.
When the generals were about to say goodbye and leave, Hong Xiuquan actually took Chen Yucheng's hand and said earnestly, "I didn't see the wrong person at the beginning, since ancient times, heroes have been teenagers, and you will definitely become the mainstay of the Celestial Empire." Do a good job, don't let me down with my hard work. As for the official position, I think that it is better to be bigger than smaller, and it is easier to do things when you are bigger, and you can better serve the Celestial Empire. In this way, I will talk to the king of the east, and I will reward you with a favor first. Hehe, I just don't know if Dongwang will have a different opinion this time. Hong Xiuquan said casually. In fact, he knew very well in his heart that his mention would not be brought up at all, and he would not bring it up with Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East. Because, on the issue of not promoting the old official position in the future, the kings have already reached a tacit understanding.
