Chapter 502: Kill the Pig Demon and Protect the Heavenly Kingdom
Xuzhou Mansion, Jiuli Mountain.
The royal banner of Wei Changhui, the northern king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, fluttered high in the middle of this long mountain range in the northern part of Xuzhou City.
The soldiers of the Taiping Army Brigade have gathered at the foot of Jiuli Mountain from Henan and Shandong provinces, and the number is so large that it is difficult to calculate, and the entire northern foot of Jiuli Mountain is a company camp of the Taiping Army. However, this huge army looked quite embarrassed, the uniforms were broken, and most of the officers and soldiers looked disgraced. The meal was soon coming, and large iron pots were set up outside the camps, and each pot was churning, and all the soup was boiled with stick gnocchi, but there were not many gnocchi, but there were all kinds of wild vegetables.
Even such a gnocchi soup with wild vegetables and sticks is not enough for every soldier of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping army has always been strictly hierarchical, but there is no equality between officers and soldiers. The three levels of grass-roots officers, such as the commander of the pawn, the commander of the army, and the two Simas, can all be open and fed. Before they finished eating, the ordinary holy soldiers could only stare dryly with their saliva and dry eyes, and their eyes looked hungry and green.
At this time, the logistics supply of the Taiping Army is already very difficult, it is good to ensure the elite of the descendants of the Eastern King, and the rabble under the command of the Northern King still want to be full?
And Miao Peilin is also a ruthless character, the army of the Northern King all the way to Huaibei, and found that around the road, there are few people, most of the villages have been burned, and the fields are empty. Sending troops to attack, small troops often come back with a disgraced face, and it is extremely difficult for large troops to attack, and the gains after breaking the castle after paying heavy casualties are also a drop in the bucket for hundreds of thousands of troops.
Wei Changhui, the king of the north, had no choice but to order to hurry up the efforts to levy grain in Henan. The materials obtained will be transported eastward immediately. But the attrition of so many troops. How can the territory of half of Henan Province be supported!
But in the big tent of the Chinese army of Wei Changhui, the king of the north. But it is still a big banquet, four o'clock and eight treasures, cold and hot and sweet, gathered together, and there are beautifully dressed beauties to sing and dance to cheer up. All the officers present here are officers above the division commander under the command of the Northern King, plus Zeng Tianyang and Qin Rigang, two newly promoted princes, all gathered together. Ate a mouth full of oil.
Wei Changhui looked worried, and he didn't have any appetite, he quietly watched the officers below eating and drinking, and only after everyone had passed three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, did he nod lightly: "It's really hard for you to fight in the south and north these days, and our food and grass are not enough, you must not have eaten and drunk well, right?" Come back to Kaifeng, and you will definitely let everyone live happily for a month......"
Zeng Tianyang touched his beard and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Northern King, where did this come from." We are already slashers who lick blood from the knife edge, and if we really don't have to go to the battlefield. Staying in the gentle township of the palace every day, I am afraid that the muscles and bones of the whole body are not comfortable! ”
Qin Rigang also echoed: "If you want to go to Gentle Township to get drunk, you have to wait until you defeat the pig demon, what does Heavenly Father say about his old man, kill the pig demon and protect the kingdom of heaven!" ”
The officers below also shouted: "Yes! Kill the pig demon! Defend the kingdom of heaven! ”
"The splendid mountains and rivers of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can't be taken away by a pig demon!"
"We are going to kill the pig demon and take away the ...... of the Huahua World in the south of the Yangtze River."
"Kill the pig demon and protect the kingdom of heaven", a slogan with a bit of fantasy fairy tale flavor, was not released in the name of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, but was conveyed by the Heavenly Father after he possessed Yang Xiuqing. The so-called pig demon is of course not Zhu Bajie, but a generation of heroes of our Ming Empire, when today, it is said that the great angel with six wings is reincarnated Zhu Jishi!
According to Yang Xiuqing's Hakka Heavenly Father's latest holy edict, before Zhu Datian became an immortal, he was originally a pig spirit in heaven, but he became an immortal because he listened to Heavenly Father's preaching, and made meritorious contributions to the Heavenly Father's four battles, became the chief of all angels, and married the daughter of Heavenly Father - the taste of this story is heavy enough! The Father's daughter is married to a pig......
And now, this pig demon who ate swan meat has betrayed his Heavenly Father, and has also imprisoned his sister Hong Xuanjiao in a small black house, serving with leather whips and wooden horse candles every day, it is really a great crime, and the uncle and aunt can't bear it! Therefore, Heavenly Father ordered King Yang Dong to preside over the rebellion and eliminate the demons, and start a war with the pig demon Zhu Jishi!
Wei Changhui stood up at this time, and the tent suddenly fell silent, and he looked at everyone with cold eyes: "The battle with the pig demon is related to the survival of my heavenly kingdom!" You must not fail to live up to the high expectations of Heavenly Father and the King of the East! Now this king commands! The whole army is ready to attack on November 20 (the celestial calendar). There will be internal cooperation in Xuzhou City, and you must fight in Xuzhou City! Before the end of the third year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, we must completely sweep away all the pig demon rebels north of the Huai River. Then go down to the south of the Yangtze River, kill the pig demon, and dominate the world! ”
……
"The dog is the king of the east, the lower and the lower and the lower are the ninth rank, and they know that the ghost barks on the road, there is no whole mile, and the road will die in the future, and the road will be buried ......"
In Luoyang, Tianjing, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in the Tianwang Mansion, the second child of God's family was scolding with a mouthful of Hakka dialect, scolding and still angry, he picked up a teacup and smashed it, but it was not enjoyable, and he knocked down a bottle. It was full of porcelain slag, and the female officials of the Heavenly King's Mansion all stood aside with their hands and shoulders down, and they didn't dare to come out.
Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, passed on God's decree and the news of the war with Zhu Ming came, which immediately made Hong Xiuquan jump.
This Yang Xiuqing is really too unpopular! I don't want to think about who is the king of this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom! When it came to starting a war with Zhu Ming, he didn't know about himself, no, he shouldn't ask for advice from himself, the king! He just had a drink with Zhu Ming's envoy here, and he was going to "kill the pig demon", isn't this telling the whole world that he, the king of heaven, has lost the power to control the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? What's even more infuriating is that he actually said that Zhu Jishi is a pig demon, and he is his brother-in-law! Isn't this tantamount to saying that his sister married a pig? Don't bring such disgusting people......
What's even more hateful is that Yang Xiuqing's henchman Yang Fuqing actually handed over the Gongshun Wang's father and son to Seng Lingqin in exchange for Xi'an City after hearing that Tongguan was broken by Feng Yunshan, and also closed the city gate to prevent Feng Yunshan's people from entering!
He slapped the table in a rage. Yang Fuqing refused to hand over Xi'an, I'm afraid it was just to leave it to Yang Xiuqing as a way out! If Yang Xiuqing is defeated by Zhu Jishi, he will retreat to Shaanxi through Shanxi, continue to fight against Zhu Ming according to the dangerous terrain, and put himself, the king of heaven, in front, and Luoyang will be besieged by the Ming army at that time.
The more he thought about it, the more Hong Xiu's whole body trembled, and all kinds of thoughts were intertwined, making him finally roar and jump up: "Go and call the King of the South, the King of Gods, and the Heavenly Sister!" ”
Several female officials breathed a sigh of relief, and ran out of the palace to call people, in fact, Feng Yunshan, Hong Renji and Hong Xuanjiao had already arrived at the Tianwang Mansion, so they all appeared in front of Hong Xiuquan after a while.
"I want to go to Beijing in person to see how Yang Xiuqing dares to jump!"
Feng Yunshan and Hong Renji glanced at each other, and Hong Renji persuaded: "Heavenly King...... Dongwang is not in Beijing now, and the city of Beijing is full of Dongwang's people. ”
Feng Yunshan also said: "Heavenly King, you should go to Xi'an, Yang Fuqing will definitely not dare to fight your Tianwei." ”
Hong Xuanjiao snorted: "What if Yang Fuqing doesn't dare to fight with the Heavenly King?" At most, he will withdraw from Xi'an City, and he will not take refuge in the king...... How many soldiers does the King of Heaven have now? How many soldiers does the king of the east have? If it weren't for the East King's troops, how would the Heavenly King gain a foothold in the Northwest with the strength in his hands? ”
Hong Xiuquan glared at his sister when he heard this, and said in his heart: "It's really a girl who is outgoing, and she actually wants to ask your brother to go to the northwest to eat sand!" ”
However, Sect Master Hong still calmed down a little, although Zhu Jishi's suggestion of "Heaven lives in the west, and the Ming Dynasty lives in the east" is clearly to borrow a knife to kill people, and wants to use the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to sweep the northwest and buffer the Russian threat, but it is also a way out. And if you want to settle down in the northwest, you must get the elite of the East King, otherwise it will be difficult to say who will clean up whom. But you can't rush to collect the remnants of the East King, you have to wait for Yang Xiuqing, the bastard bastard who "dies on the road and buries under the road", to be defeated by Zhu Jishi, it would be better if it was a lose-loser...... (To be continued......)
