In the Golden Dragon Palace, Lin Haifeng told the kings in detail about his battle plan to solve the Jiangnan camp of the Qing army.

In view of the strength of the 30,000 horses of the Jiangnan battalion of the Qing Dynasty, he planned to use the 1st Red Army and the Teaching Brigade as the main force, and then mobilize 30,000 troops from Qin Rigang and Zeng Shuiyuan, who were originally responsible for the defense of Tianjing, to carry out a four-way attack on the Jiangnan battalion and annihilate it in one fell swoop.

After listening to Lin Haifeng's plan, King Hong nodded in agreement, but he was still a little worried, "The Jiangnan camp of the Qing Demon Xiangrong is not a weak enemy. After the army of the Dakai brothers left Zhenjiang, the Qing demon set up a Jiangbei camp led by Qi Shan outside Yangzhou City. Dealing with the Jiangnan battalion, I thought that the advantage in military strength was not very strong with 50,000 against 30,000, and once the fight became a stalemate, I was afraid that it would be difficult for both sides to take care of one or the other. ”

Zheng Nan smiled hesitantly, "Heavenly King, don't worry, our Heavenly Army's new grenadier will make the Qing Demon unforgettable for the rest of his life, plus the teaching brigade that has been fully equipped with half of it, it will be easy to level the Jiangnan camp." The younger brother and Brother An Wang have studied it repeatedly, and the battle of the Jiangnan camp will be resolved within one day at most. The younger brother felt that when to conquer Jiangsu and Zhejiang and strive for greater development space for the Celestial Empire was the key issue. ”

Hong Tianwang thought for a moment, "Okay, then act according to Brother Haifeng's plan." ”

"If the Jiangnan camp is defeated, Tianjing will be much safer, and the supply channels of grain, grass and military supplies will be completely unblocked. Now that you are well prepared, implement it as soon as possible. In order to be prepared, Zhenjiang Xu Zongyang and Su Sanniang can be asked to be strictly guarded, and not allow a soldier of the old demon head of Qishan to cross the river. Yang Xiuqing looked at the Heavenly King and raised his hand, "In addition, Xuanjiao's female army and the card knife players from various provinces are all gathered, and if necessary, they can be thrown in." As for the Eastern Crusade, after this war, the army still needed a period of rest and recuperation, and the weather slowly cooled. Especially Shanghai, where there will definitely be the intervention of foreign devils, which should not be taken lightly. If our army is dragged under the city of Shanghai in winter, I am afraid that it will be disadvantageous to our army. In my opinion, it is better to go on the Eastern Crusade in the spring of next year. ”

Lin Haifeng nodded, "Brother Dongwang is thoughtful. However, according to the information that the younger brother has, Shanghai City has been controlled by Liu Lichuan's Knife Society, and the Qing Demon and the foreign devil have teamed up to try to extinguish the Knife Society. After we exterminated the camp in the south of the Yangtze River, after a short rest, and reorganized the two departments of Qin Rigang and Zeng Shuiyuan, we should send troops to the east as soon as possible. This is a great opportunity, and we can't sit back and wait for the knives in Shanghai to be wiped out. ”

Yang Xiuqing looked at Lin Haifeng, "What is the development of the Shanghai Knife Club you said?" ”

Lin Haifeng thought for a moment and said slowly: "The Little Knife Society originally belonged to one of the tribes of the Heaven and Earth Society. In the first year of the Jintian regimental camp, Chen Qingzhen, an overseas Chinese from Xiamen, Fujian Province, established a knife club with Wang Quan and 10 other people in the Wuzu Temple at the foot of the flagpole in Xiamen. The Little Knife Society inherits the organizational form of the Heaven and Earth Society, and the songs, slogans, and waist certificates are all the same as the Heaven and Earth Society. Soon, it grew to thousands of people. Members are marked by knives, so they are called knives clubs. The main members were peasants, but in the cities there were handicraft workers, sailors, porters, vagrants, and a small number of business owners. Later, it developed to Shanghai. In August of this year, the Xiaodao Society launched an uprising in Shanghai, but their initial slogan was to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty, and established the so-called Ming Kingdom. ”

"Da Ming Kingdom?" Hong Xiuquan frowned, "How can you build your own country?" ”

Lin Haifeng looked at him and smiled, "They should have given up the national title by now, and Liu Lichuan also called himself 'the generalissimo of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom'. Originally, they wanted to get in touch with Zhenjiang last month, but unfortunately their strength was not enough. The letter sent to the Celestial Empire asking for moderation may also have been sent due to an accident in which the letter was delivered, so it never arrived. ”

Hong Xiuquan's brows suddenly stretched when he heard this, and his eyes turned to Yang Xiuqing.

"The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the generalissimo of political and religious recruitment," Yang Xiuqing smiled and shook his head, "If that's the case, then it's better to do it sooner rather than later." ”

"Since there are knives in Shanghai that will drag the Qing Demon, why don't we develop the area around Tianjing as much as possible, first, to raise money and food, and second, to calmly replenish the army." Wei Changhui thought about it and said, "Moreover, the Eastern Expedition is bound to take away many elite troops, once Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are tight, how should Tianjing deal with it?" ”

Lin Haifeng nodded, "What Brother Beiwang said is not unreasonable. As he spoke, he stood up, "Once the Jiangnan camp is broken, coupled with our army's eastward expedition, there will be no threat south of Tianjing for the time being." The naval division of our army under the command of King Yiwang has completely controlled the Yangtze River basin from Wuchang to Zhenjiang. Therefore, all the garrison points along the river were not in serious trouble. Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are the northern gates of Tianjing, and there is a northern camp in the north of the Yangtze River outside Yangzhou City, which controls more than 100,000 horses, and there is indeed a need for key defense. Before the Eastern Crusade, it was necessary to properly arrange appropriate defensive forces. The Eastern Expedition to pacify Jiangsu and Zhejiang fundamentally solved the supply of grain and grass in the Kingdom of Heaven, and Suzhou and Hangzhou have been rice and grain since ancient times. If we take Shanghai, we will be able to open up trade routes with Western countries, develop the industries of the Kingdom of Heaven, and equip more new armies. ”

Yang Xiuqing squinted his eyes and laughed, "In April, Wen Han, the British Governor of Hong Kong and the plenipotentiary representative to China, sent a letter to the Celestial Empire, claiming that they would remain neutral. After consulting with the King of Heaven, Brother Wei also wrote to him, repeatedly stating that the overseas British people came from thousands of miles to submit to our court, and not only the soldiers of the Celestial Dynasty enthusiastically welcomed it, that is, the heavenly father and brother of heaven, but also praised his loyalty. Moreover, its expatriates are allowed to come and go freely, advance and retreat at will, whether it is to assist our heavenly soldiers to annihilate the demon enemy, or to conduct business as usual, at their own convenience. Later, this Wen Han also brought people to Tianjing. However, these Yingyi, with one thing in their mouths and another in their hearts, originally wanted to take this opportunity to buy some guns, gunpowder, and food, but they didn't even hear from them when they left. ”

Hong Xiuquan shook his head, obviously disagreeing with his statement, "I think that dealing with Western countries should still be based on sincerity, they believe in God like the Celestial Empire, and they are all the people of the Heavenly Father. Don't be in a hurry in everything, you must slowly civilize them, and eventually use them for the Celestial Empire. ”

Lin Haifeng sat down with a smile, he really couldn't compliment Hong Tianwang's words. Also believing in God? Hehe, you've changed other people's gods in a mess, and people don't see you like this. What is even more intolerable is that, as Yang Xiuqing said just now, the current foreign policy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is actually to acquiesce in the treaty signed by the Manchu government to lose power and humiliate the country, so as to win the favor of foreigners. However, he can't veto their thoughts at once now, he can only take his time, isn't King Hong talking about "enlightenment"?

"What the King of Heaven says is good!" He raised his fists and arched at Hong Xiuquan, "However, as far as the younger brother knows, after that Wen Han visited Tianjing, he ordered the attachés to write their own inspection reports on Tianjing, and to evaluate the regime of the Celestial Empire from various aspects such as politics, military, economy, commerce, religion, and officers and soldiers, and on this basis, write a summary inspection report to the British government. In his opinion, the Celestial Empire's attempt to overthrow the current government will not succeed. He advocated supporting the Manchu government while maintaining its 'neutrality' on the surface, while believing that it should 'be fully prepared to defend itself against the revolutionary army or an incoming attack.' ’”
