Chen Dingtian was inexplicably engaged to this Bian Sanniang, and Bian Sanniang couldn't resist the unanimous opinion of so many high-level people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so she had to be forced to get engaged to Chen Dingtian. Bian Sanniang was also extremely depressed www.biquge.info like this, she was so impulsive before, and she actually said something to force Chen Dingtian to marry her.

For the first time, Bian Sanniang felt that her temper was so short and impulsive, and she suffered a big loss. Everyone felt afraid of her before, and they didn't dare to annoy Bian Sanniang in terms of not being able to marry, so Bian Sanniang had never experienced this kind of thing, so naturally she was inexperienced. As a result, Chen Dingtian, a fearless man, dared to directly sarcastically mock Bian Sanniang, but Bian Sanniang was so stimulated that he said what forced Chen Dingtian to marry her. As a result, once the words are spoken, they cannot be taken back.

inexplicably got engaged to Chen Dingtian, but Bian Sanniang still didn't give Chen Dingtian a good face, obviously treating Chen Dingtian as an enemy. Chen Dingtian didn't dare to offend this woman more, this Bian Sanniang was short-tempered, shouting and killing at every turn, Chen Dingtian didn't think that she was engaged to him, and her temper would change much, so Chen Dingtian, a literati with small arms and legs, it was better to stay away. As a result, although they are nominally unmarried, they look at each other unpleasantly.

"Oh, isn't this the eldest brother Shi Dakai?" Chen Dingtian shouted at Shi Dakai.

Chen Dingtian is very interested in this Shi Dakai, who is almost the same age as himself, because this Shi Dakai is only in his twenties this year, in fact, he is almost the same age as Chen Dingtian. Even if you exclude the factor of travel, according to the year of this time and space, Chen Dingtian was born in 1830 AD, and this Shi Dakai was born in 1831, in fact, Chen Dingtian is one year older than this Shi Dakai.

Chen Dingtian actually has a lot of "admiration" for these high-level leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, because this Shi Dakai is only in his early twenties, and he has become a commander, and even later he was deeply respected by the Taiping Army and was called the "Righteous King". And Yang Xiuqing is actually only thirty years old, thirty years old is a middle-aged age in the next generation, and many people's careers are just on the right track. However, Yang Xiuqing actually became the de facto military and political leader of the Taiping Army, and the command of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was quite organized.

They have all reached such a status at a young age, so this actually makes Chen Dingtian very envious. Chen Dingtian knew that if he hadn't crossed over, even if he had crossed over, and hadn't relied on this harem to save the country to integrate the forces, it would be impossible for him to fight for such a huge cause.

Chen Dingtian actually just integrated the forces behind several women, and did not create and establish it himself. In this way, he is still very convinced of these capable people, they are the real sons of the plane!

And since Chen Dingtian has already booked this cousin of Shi Dakai, it is not impossible to call him uncle.

"What are you looking for me for?" Shi Dakai asked coldly.

This Shi Dakai still has a very bad attitude towards Chen Dingtian. Because his cousin was given to Chen Dingtian by Yang Xiuqing as a gift, Shi Dakai was very depressed. Although he is not his own sister, Shi Dakai promised his uncle to take good care of his cousin. But your cousin is actually going to be given as a gift to another man, how can you let a big brother accept it?

As an older brother, when he hears that his sister is going to be given as a gift to other men, which big brother can accept it with peace of mind? This is not that Shi Dakai has any bad thoughts about his cousin, but any brother's love for his sister. If it was his sister's own choice, then Shi Dakai had nothing to say. However, Shi Dinglan was given to Chen Dingtian by Yang Xiuqing, which made Shi Dakai very unhappy as the eldest brother. As a result, Chen Dingtian's attitude towards him is also very bad.

"Uncle, do you think the Kingdom of Heaven should be a Western Expedition or a Northern Expedition?" Chen Dingtian asked.

Shi Dakai thought for a while and said, "Actually, what Dongwang said is right!" In fact, I also think that we should go west, not the northern expedition immediately. But I also don't want the King of Heaven and the King of the East to quarrel, if the King of Heaven and the King of the East completely turn their faces, then our foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven will also be ruined. From Guangxi to Tianjing, how much we have paid. At the moment of the great enemy, we should not fall out like this. ”

But Chen Dingtian asked: "You propose that the Northern Expedition and the Western Expedition be carried out at the same time, that is, are you hoping for the mud?" ”

Shi Dakai replied: "Yes! ”

"But if you do this, I'm afraid it won't work! Isn't that a waste of strength if you do this? When the time comes, neither of them will work! Chen Dingtian said.

But Shi Dakai replied: "Even so, it is better than the division of our heavenly kingdom!" ”

Shi Dakai obviously expressed his attitude, what he hoped for was a united and complete Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and this united and complete Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was more important than anything else.

Chen Dingtian also agreed with this Shi Dakai's statement, this Shi Dakai is actually a very good talent in the Taiping Army. In the original history, the high-level members of the Taiping Army were collectively corrupted, including Yang Xiuqing, but only this Shi Dakai was decent and honest, and he was not greedy for enjoyment, and took the overall situation into account.

But there are too few people like him in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and his position of power in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is very embarrassing, to say that he has some power, but he obviously can't compare with Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan. Even Wei Changhui, the king of the north, and Qin Rigang, the king of Yan, can't compare, but he has a lot of popularity.

Shi Dakai clearly realized that a complete kingdom of heaven was very important for the future anti-Qing Dynasty. If one's own internal contradictions lead to a civil war in the heavens, the consequences will be unimaginable. How many power groups are not perishing with foreign countries, but with themselves! In many cases, the strongest fortresses were breached from within, and the external invasion was not enough, so it served as the last straw that broke the camel's back.

This was the case in the Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty. And even the Manchu Qing Dynasty, in the face of the invasion of the Western powers, was also because of internal struggling, which missed the opportunity to re-correct the country's development again and again.

Shi Dakai was deeply aware that infighting was the biggest enemy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so Shi Dakai wanted to maintain peace.

"Uncle, this is all in vain. I think it's all in vain for you to do this, because the conflict between the king of the east and the king of heaven is not only between the king and the courtiers, but also between the religious power and the secular power. The origin of this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is related to religion, but it will also suffer from the shortcomings of many religions. Such a ******** country will definitely have a big conflict. Although the king of heaven is overthrown, he is also a religious leader. Although the king of the East is also a believer on the surface, he represents the secular power, and the contradictions between them are irreconcilable. ”

But Shi Dakai was a little lucky and said: "Isn't that able to make the East King take the initiative to back down?" After all, the king of the east is a courtier......"

Chen Dingtian hurriedly retorted and said, "Uncle Shi Dakai, I don't think the East King should back down. Because of politics and religion, I think it is necessary to separate. Religion should not interfere in politics, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

In fact, even true Christianity does not support religious interference in politics. I remember a famous saying in the West that said, 'Render to God and Caesar to Caesar.' ’。 This famous saying is that religion and secular power cannot be confused, but this is obviously a deliberate conflation, which will only lead to the state of heaven to the point of no return. Chen Dingtian said.

Shi Dakai asked, "Then what should we do?" ”

Chen Dingtian said: "In this way, Uncle Shi Dakai, you take the initiative to ask Ying to lead the troops to the west." Strive to take away as much essence as possible, and at present, a group of real essence troops of the Heavenly Kingdom are in Zhenjiang, as for what their purpose is, I won't say more, it is nothing more than to defend our Heaven and Earth Society and Yiliang. Therefore, the elites that the Kingdom of Heaven can draw are only more than 20,000 people, and when the time comes, in the name of the Western Expedition, you will transfer these elites to the Western Expedition, so as to ensure that a large number of elite troops will be taken away as much as possible. ”

"When the time comes, when you go west, you will open up your territory, and you can even take the opportunity to recruit soldiers to expand your power. Then leave this Tianjing, leave this storm core! ”

Shi Dakai hurriedly refused: "I can't do this, at present, the East King of the Heavenly Kingdom and the Heavenly King are so quarrelling, and there is even a danger that a civil war may break out at any time." If I'm not here, I'm afraid they'll fight even more. ”

Chen Dingtian shook his head again and said, "No, Uncle Shi Dakai, I don't think you are wise to do this. Because of the struggle between the king of the east and the king of heaven, it is irreconcilable. So if you stay here, no matter how much you try to persuade them, you won't be able to reconcile the contradictions between them. Rather than this, it is better to take the elite away quickly, and then try to participate in the western expedition. In this way, it can ensure that the elite does not fall into internal friction and will not cause losses due to internal friction. ”

"Otherwise, instead of dying on the battlefield against the expulsion of the Tartars, they died in internal strife, how unworthy of this is!"

Chen Dingtian actually has a general understanding, it was originally the so-called "Tianjing Incident" in history, Hong Xiuquan killed Yang Xiuqing and cleaned up Yang Xiuqing, a powerful minister. But Hong Xiuquan did a stupid thing, that is, implicating the innocent. This Hong Xiuquan killed Yang Xiuqing, and even killed many people who Yang Xiuqing promoted, including all kinds of people with real ability to do things, as well as various Yang Xiuqing's original subordinates.

At that time, tens of thousands of people died in the Tianjing Incident, and it was almost bloodbathed. What's even more terrifying is that the people who died in this Tianjing Incident were all elites, and they were all real talents and real backbones of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The death of these people was a huge blow to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom both physically and mentally, and it completely tore apart the so-called family of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the so-called harmonious relationship between brothers and sisters. And he tore apart the kindness of Hong Xiuquan, a benevolent religious leader, and completely exposed the of Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing in front of ordinary low-level people.

In this way, the Taiping army lost a lot of essence and suffered a profound blow ideologically, which resulted in a decline in combat effectiveness. Therefore, most historians later believed that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom went into decline after the Tianjing Incident.

A large number of elite civil and military officials were killed, and the ideological system collapsed, which was the biggest reason why the Taiping army was strong and in decline. Shi Dakai was also forced to leave the kingdom of heaven and finally died in battle.

"Uncle Shi Dakai, I think you should have heard of the result of being out of the house back then, right? Although Chong'er left, he kept hope for returning to China in the future. You do the same now, take the essence with you as much as you can, and leave this place of right and wrong. As long as you can leave this place of right and wrong, there is still hope for you to come back in the future. Otherwise, if a large number of elites are consumed in the infighting, they will inevitably collapse in the end. On the contrary, if these elites are brought to the west, not only will they not necessarily lose, but they will become stronger and stronger. I think that with your eldest brother's ability, he is definitely getting stronger and stronger. ”

"When the time comes, take the elite away, even if a civil war breaks out between the Eastern King and the Heavenly King, it is not that the elite is fighting, and the loss will not hurt the bones. On the contrary, when the time comes, your eldest brother can take the opportunity to come back and turn the tide, which is the best way to stop the civil strife. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a pity to let a large amount of essence be consumed in the infighting? ”

Chen Dingtian also put a high hat on this Shi Dakai, and such words really made Shi Dakai fall into deep thought. As Chen Dingtian said, he was safe outside, but later became one of the five tyrants of the Spring and Autumn Period. On the contrary, if there is a meaningless sacrifice, it will not achieve anything in the end. Retain strength in time, and take away the real essence troops as much as possible by using the Western Expedition as an excuse, which is conducive to preserving the essence and not consuming these essences due to infighting.

Leaving the whirlpool of right and wrong in Tianjing like this will help you accumulate strength, and your strength will be enough in the future, even if a conflict breaks out between Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan, then you have the strength to turn the tide, and you can ensure that you can use your huge strength to suppress the contradictions when necessary.

And if he stays in Tianjing, then this whirlpool that eats people and doesn't spit out bones may be involved in it for nothing, which will not only be detrimental to himself, but will damage a large number of elites. Leaving in a hurry not only avoided the whirlpool, but also had the strength to accumulate strength in the future to turn the tide.

Shi Dakai finally said: "Okay, I'm going to ask for the order of the west, hoping to leave some seeds for our heavenly kingdom!" Also, Chen Dingtian, let me tell you, don't bully my sister! If, if you treat her and you give up on her, even if I try my best, I will not let you go! ”

After Shi Dakai finished speaking, he immediately turned around and left. (To be continued.) )
