Wei Changhui, the king of the north, almost thought that he had misheard, he turned his head, and glanced at Zeng Tianyang, who had just captured the 74th Yan Shenggong Kong Fanhao alive from Qufu and Tai'an, and both of them saw an unbelievable look on each other's faces.

Wei Changhui suppressed his doubts and said, "Arrogant soldiers? The voice trembled slightly, if the inside of Xuzhou City should be meat buns, what is he Wei Changhui?

Yang Xiuqing said: "Yes, it is a plan to be arrogant, how can you lure the enemy if you are not arrogant?" Zhu Jishi is not a fool, he will not take the initiative this winter. ”

Wei Changhui and Zeng Tianyang both nodded at the same time, now the internal affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are not doing well, and the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" has encountered great resistance in the process of implementation. Even in areas where the "Heavenly Dynasty System of Fields and Mu" has been successfully implemented, the peasants' enthusiasm for growing grain is not high, and the land has been seriously abandoned. In areas where the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" was not implemented, due to the war and the resistance of the local gentry, there was also a scene of a large amount of barren land. After the spring of next year, there will definitely be a famine in the territory under the jurisdiction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and then it will be the best time for Zhu Ming's Northern Expedition.

Wei Changhui lowered his voice: "His Royal Highness the King of the East, even if we are defeated in Xuzhou, Zhu Jishi may not become an arrogant soldier, right?" ”

Yang Xiuqing said: "It's hard to say that Zhu Ji is not fooled in the world, but we always have to do our best, and the current situation is that the more it drags on, the more unfavorable it will be for us." ”

Wei Changhui and Zeng Tianyang also sighed, people at their level knew that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was going downhill. It is not only the problem of insufficient food and poor weapons, but the lack of vigor and courage before entering Beijing is gone.

Tianjing Luoyang didn't talk about it. Not long ago, Zhu Jishi also sent more than a dozen Western female slaves to Hong Xiuquan, this Hong Tianwang actually liked it, and they were all included in the harem, and he was greatly pampered, and he had no time to manage the government.

The situation on the side of the East King is similar, that is, he is restrained in the issue of building a house...... There is the Forbidden City in Beijing, and there are "three mountains and five gardens", each more magnificent than the other. It's like a wonderland. Of course, Yang Xiuqing didn't need to build another palace, and directly lived in the Old Summer Palace in the Garden of Ten Thousand Gardens.

As for beauty, Yang Xiuqing is more important than quantity, unlike Hong Xiuquan, who is eager to get all the women in the world into the harem. Yang Xiuqing wants a lady who is both talented and beautiful. It's better to be the daughter of a famous family. A while ago, he specially instructed Zeng Tianyang to find him a few ladies from the Qufu Kong family to fill the harem.

The so-called upward and downward effect. The eldest and second of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are like this, what else is there to be polite about the princes and generals below? One by one, they are fighting for houses, women, and money, and they are very busy. The mind of fighting a war is much weaker. As for the grassroots officers and "old brothers" of the Taiping Army, they all thought that the world had been gained, and it was time to enjoy the blessings of the country, and their previous efforts should also have a satisfactory return.

Of course, Yang Xiuqing knows what he is thinking, his "God" is not real, if he doesn't give the brothers below real benefits, who will follow him? Therefore, Yang Xiuqing can only give the following people the title of official. The old brothers who followed from Guangxi and Xiangxi are all officials, even if they are still working as holy soldiers in the army, they all have the official positions of army commander and pawn commander. And you can't just give an official position and not give money, otherwise this "poor official" will still be boring.

This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is not like Zhu Ming, it maintains the old feudal land ownership system, so there is no way to replace military salaries with land rewards, and it must be sent to the lower levels with real money or other good things. However, the backward social productive forces here in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not keep up with the growing material needs of the large number of officials. As a result, the old brothers below were always dissatisfied and couldn't muster up their energy, and the high-level leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom above had no choice but to continue to write empty checks, promising to give as many benefits as they could after conquering the land of wealth in the south of the Yangtze River, which temporarily stabilized people's hearts. But anyone can feel that the Taiping soldiers' belief in the God of the Heavenly Father Emperor is becoming more and more faint as their status is getting higher and higher, and their wealth is increasing. If it really comes to the time when faith is completely lost, will the Taiping Army be able to maintain its original combat effectiveness?

When he was worried and worried, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, spoke again: "King Bei, King Lu, you know the situation of the kingdom of heaven, and Zhu Jishi must also know the Tao...... The reason why he killed the demon first was not to rush to dig Nurhachi's grave, but to wait for us to decay! ”

Wei Changhui and Zeng Tianyang's hearts sank, and it has only been a few days since the Kingdom of Heaven rose? Why is it going to decay?

Yang Xiuqing sighed again, stretched out his finger and pointed to his head and said: "Our heavenly kingdom is flourishing here, and the people below believe in God and heaven, so they are not afraid of death or hardship and are obedient, millions of people have one heart, which overturned the splendid country of the Qing Demon." Then he pointed to the location of the heart, "The error of the kingdom of heaven is wrong here, and it is wrong in the human heart...... The worst of all hearts! "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" is so good...... The fields under heaven are cultivated together, everywhere is uneven, no one is not fed, no one is not selfish, and all things belong to the Lord. ”

He paused for a moment and said: "Such a good system is bad in a selfish heart, it should be that everyone is not selfish, but now everyone is selfish. Not only are the new brothers in the north selfish, but even the hearts of the old brothers who have followed them all the way from Guangxi have changed......"

This is said to be to the root, Zeng Tianyang, who has been fighting hard in Shandong for more than half a year with the troops, is the most deeply touched, this person's heart changes, and the team is difficult to lead, he just wanted to say two words of echoing, Wei Changhui spoke first: "Alas, King Dong, since the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" does not work, why should we hang ourselves on a tree?" It's better to learn from Zhu Jishi and get scholars, and then go back to the old road of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and the former Ming Dynasty, and go to share the world with scholars! ”

What could be more important than sitting in the world? Yang Xiuqing sneered: "I also know that Dao must share the world with the scholars, why don't I keep Kong Fanhao for what?" But there are few scholars and doctors in the world who want to share the world with our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and their hearts are now focused on Zhu Ming, if we can't defeat Zhu Ming, we will have no place in the Central Plains. And if you want to defeat Zhu Ming, you must lead Zhu Jishi to the Northern Plains...... This king estimates that Zhu Jishi will definitely fight in person, and when the time comes, we must do whatever it takes to kill him on the battlefield! In this way, even if my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot dominate the world, it can still have half of the country! ”

He looked at Wei Changhui: "King Bei, if you don't hurt Miao Peilin, Zhu Jishi will not come out, Zhu Jishi is now the Son of Heaven, as long as he comes out, he will not be willing to return empty-handed...... Therefore, you must do your best to attack Xuzhou, don't be afraid of the dead, people, there are! As much as you die, I will replenish you as much as you want! ”

……

"Qufu was captured by the Taiping army? Did Kong Fanhao escape? The herald Miao Peilin must find out, if Kong Fanhao is not dead, he must find a way to rescue him. In addition, let Wang Yunjiao keep an eye on the Cao Gang and the Worship God Sect, but don't startle the snake......"

"Your Majesty, the princess has returned to the palace......"

In the Forbidden City of Tianfu, Emperor Zhu Jishi's words were interrupted by the secretary Weng Tongyi, and then he remembered that Wang Yunjiao, who had been in charge of the Jinyi Guard for many years, had been taken care of by Empress Luo.

"Then pass the order to Wei Shaoguang and let him think more." Zhu Jishi said lightly.

Wei Shaoguang was the peasant who led the anti-British resistance in Sanyuanli, followed Zheng Hong in a Sanyuanli uprising, and then fought the Battle of Furong Mountain, and then withdrew from the military circle and became a spy. Because the starting point is relatively high, it was Jinyiwei's affair from the beginning, so it was Jinyiwei's acquaintance very early, and after Wang Yunjiao returned to the palace, the commander made it for him, and it was considered shit luck.

However, Zhu Jishi always felt that his ability to engage in intelligence was worse than Wang Yunjiao, and this spy leader was really not easy to do.

Weng Tongyi handed over another excerpt at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, this is an excerpt handed over by Miao Peilin, the governor of Huaibei, and the Taiping army in the direction of Henan and Shandong seems to have signs of going south. In addition, the worship of God and the Cao gang in Xuzhou began to be frequent again. It seems that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is about to make a big move. (To be continued......)
