Chapter 256 Lurking in Fujian
"The last general was accidentally attacked by the Democratic Alliance Army, and he is willing to accept the responsibility!" After being untied, Li Xiucheng led the soldiers to kneel down with interest.
To tell the truth, Yang Xiuqing hated to cut Li Xiucheng with a thousand knives, as long as he was a little vigilant, why not? Wang Feng patted his ass and left, the mess left by Tianjing couldn't be cleaned up at all, not only was the morale of the army shaken, but more importantly, he had to face Hong Xiuquan's anger and blame, if Wang Feng could really kill Hong Xiuquan, it would save trouble, but Wang Feng didn't mean it.
The cold eyes flickered for a while, and Yang Xiuqing said in a deep voice: "Let the foreign enemy enter the city, and you should be beheaded according to the law, but you didn't notice it before you fell for the trick, and the heart is not like this, so this king gives you a chance to make meritorious contributions, however, the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime is unforgivable. ”
"Thank you for the grace of the East King!" Li Xiucheng sighed secretly, he was promoted from a holy soldier to a military commander, and he was not from Jintian's Hongyang lineage, the hardships and dangers are difficult for outsiders to understand, this dismissal, two years of hard work was in vain, and he returned to the pre-liberation period overnight, but at this time, what else can he do except give his hand to thank him? And surprisingly, he didn't have any hatred for Wang Feng in his heart, and he could only consider himself unlucky when he got into this situation.
"Take it down!" Yang Xiuqing waved his hand and asked forward, "Wang Feng, why haven't you returned the Heavenly King, do you have to regret it?" ”
Wang Feng turned his head and gave Li Xiucheng an apologetic look, and said lightly: "King Dong, what's the hurry?" It's not bad for these few miles, leaving the range of artillery, Wang should return to the king, and Wang has a word of advice. Please keep up with the three of you, if you let Xiang Rong pick up the cheap, don't blame Wang for not expecting it. ”
"Keep up!" Yang Xiuqing waved his hand angrily and led the cavalry out of the south gate of Yuhuatai.
The NLD army marched south, and it took half an hour. threw Hong Xiuquan to the ground, and then sped up his travel.
The Taiping army hurriedly stepped forward and untied the rope for Hong Xiuquan, especially the stinky socks in the mouth, which could smoke people to death, and everyone thought that they would bear Hong Xiuquan's anger. But Hong Xiuquan was like crazy, holding his head in his hands, screaming, vomiting while rolling on the ground!
Everyone can understand Hong Xiuquan's grievances. Nearly a thousand wives were taken away, treasures were looted, and he appeared in front of his subordinates with such a humiliating image, which was even more uncomfortable than being killed with a knife, but at this time, what can I say, I can only take Hong Xiuquan as the center, and kneel on the ground in a circle.
Hong Xiuquan's screams became more and more poignant. There was no sign of stopping, Wei Changhui glanced at Yang Xiuqing, who was two or three positions away, and whispered to Shi Dakai: "Since Jintian came out." The emperor has never suffered such a big loss, if he is just angry, we as junior brothers naturally have to bear it, but this king is worried that the emperor will force us to attack Su Song too often.
Although the king is very reluctant, he must admit it. Our strength is inferior to that of the Democratic Alliance, and the attack is just for the soldiers to die in vain. I don't know if the Wing King has a countermeasure? ”
Shi Dakai had a headache, which was exactly what he was worried about. I couldn't help but scold Wang Feng in my heart, it's not that he hates Wang Feng to the core, Wang Feng raided Tianjing, he can understand, and it didn't bring too much damage to Tianjing, he just felt that Wang Feng was too much, since he didn't kill him, then he would save some face for his old man!
"What is the opinion of the King of the North?" After a while, Shi Dakai asked back.
Wei Changhui muttered: "The only way to do this is to leave Tianjing, and after strengthening our strength, we will return to attack Su Song Taichang and be ashamed of the Heavenly King." ”
Wei Changhui's idea was very simple, he was worried that he would be ordered by Hong Xiuquan to attack Wang Feng, and he was worried that he would be held accountable, so he thought that he pulled Shi Dakai to advance and retreat together.
Shi Dakai didn't expect this, nodded and said: "It's okay, we have obtained the military order of the East King, and strive to leave tomorrow, it is not a way for the King of Heaven to be like this, let's send the King of Heaven back to the palace first." ”
Yang Xiuqing thought about it, and together with Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai, he helped Hong Xiuquan up and walked back, although Hong Xiuquan howled and struggled, but these three people had kung fu and were almost unaffected.
Yang Xiuqing suddenly realized that Hong Xiuquan's capture may not be a bad thing, at least his reputation will be greatly hit, in Chinese history, except for Ming Yingzong, no one who has been captured alive has ever been able to turn over, he believes that Hong Xiuquan is no exception, which means that the Hong Xiuquan era of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has come to an end, as long as he goes to the outside world, he can change the dynasty at any time, thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing's mood has improved.
In the opposite direction, because they brought a large amount of gold and silver treasures and nearly a thousand Wang Niang, it was not until the evening that the Democratic Alliance army rushed to the Niushou Mountain Range, that is, the valley where the Fuxing Department was originally ambushed, and Wang Feng ordered a temporary rest.
In the valley, the smoke was cooked, the Wang Niang squeezed the car for a day, and had already been tossed back and leg pain, and they got off the car to move their muscles and bones, and a considerable number of the soldiers had participated in that battle, regardless of the identity of the Taiping Army or the Qing Army at that time, they all showed mixed feelings, who would have thought that this small valley would change their lives?
Zhou Xiaoying couldn't help but sigh: "Manager Hong, I remember that you were standing on the top of the mountain at that time, and I was by your side, watching Commander Wang lure the Fuxing Department into the valley, and now that I think about it, it seems to have happened yesterday." ”
Hong Xuanjiao also sighed: "Yes, a year has passed in a blink of an eye, at this time last year, I was still in Wuchang to spend the New Year with my sisters, looking forward to the growth and development of the Taiping Army, but on the same day this year, I captured the king alive with my own hands, which is incredible." ”
Wang Feng smiled: "Hong Xuanjiao, you are only twenty-one years old, why do you like to remember the past as much as the elderly?" In fact, you should be glad that we have stifled the development momentum of the Taiping Army, we cannot deny the justice of the Taiping Army's anti-Qing Dynasty, which has nothing to do with Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui and other careerists, but the Taiping Army is too destructive, where it passes, thousands of miles of red land, China can not withstand the toss of the Taiping Army, and when we solve the external troubles, we will send troops to attack Nanjing, temporarily establish a country with Nanjing as the capital, and build Nanjing into a modern, international metropolis comparable to London and Paris! ”
"Hmm!" Hong Xuanjiao nodded, there was a strong yearning in her beautiful eyes, she returned to Nanjing today, to be honest, she was surprised, she didn't expect that in just half a year, Nanjing City was already full of ruins, but thinking about it from a different angle, isn't it more rewarding to rebuild on the ruins?
"Come!" Wang Feng beckoned again: "While it's not dark, let's go and see what good treasures Hong Xiuquan has!" ”
Everyone was moved, followed Wang Feng forward, found a car casually, opened it, and suddenly there was a green light in his eyes, and the car was full of gold utensils, all of which were made of gold!
There are gold bowls, gold chopsticks, gold plates, gold mirrors, and all kinds of gold jewelry, the most conspicuous of which is a gold crown.
Hong Xuanjiao explained: "This crown was cast by the Heavenly King after the capture of Wuchang, and it used eight catties of gold, and the Heavenly King would wear it whenever he attended important ceremonies. ”
"Damn, no wonder Hong Xiuquan's neck is very hard, and if we change eight catties of gold on our heads, we will get cervical spondylosis sooner or later." Wang Feng scolded with a smile, and suddenly sniffed twice: "Huh? Where does the smell of urine come from? Then he focused his gaze on a pot-shaped object.
A soldier's eyes lit up and said, "Commander-in-chief, are you talking about this?" This is a urinal, but it is made of pure gold, and the smell is a little unpleasant, but it can be washed and melted into a gold ingot, alas, I don't know what it feels like to pee in a golden urinal, will it pee a little more than usual? ”
"Would you like to try it?" Wang Feng looked over with a smile.
"Hey~~ Forget it." The warriors rubbed their heads and sneered.
The soldiers all laughed, but Wang Feng beckoned to Chen Alin: "Chen Alin, you are from Fujian, from Fujian to Guangdong, is there any other road except Shaoguan?" ”
Chen Alin didn't think about it and said: "Commander-in-chief, Shaoguan is just a big road, and there are some unknown mountain paths. ”
"Good!" Wang Feng shouted loudly: "Chen Alin, I will give you a task, next month you negotiate with Ding Daquan, gather enough 1,000 people, take you as the leader to sneak to the mountains of Fujian, secretly monitor Chen Village in Shunde, once Ding Zhuang goes to sea, I will arrest the old and weak women and children as quickly as possible, how sure are you?" ”
Chen Alin didn't answer immediately, but thought about it, and then said: "It's not difficult to sneak into the mountainous areas of Fujian, you can break it into pieces and settle in one after another, it's not difficult to capture the old and weak women and children in Chen Village, start at night, the action is fast enough, the local government may not be able to deal with it in time, the only thing that is a little troublesome is how to return, it is obviously not possible to take the sea route, and you can only pretend to be a Qing army by land, please rest assured that the commander-in-chief will rest assured, the ship will naturally go straight to the bridgehead, and the subordinates will act carefully, ten percent sure that they dare not boast, and eight or nine percent are still there." ”
Wang Feng patted Chen Alin on the shoulder: "Remember, safety first, it doesn't matter if you really have difficulties and give up, you will start acting on the sixteenth day of the first month!" ”
"Yes!" Chen Alin gave a military salute.
Wang Feng nodded, and asked a special combat member, "How much gold and silver did you get, can you have statistics?" ”
The soldier saluted: "The silver is two million three hundred and fifty thousand taels, and the satin brocade and other high-grade silks are nearly five thousand, but the gold cannot be weighed for the time being because many of them are gold objects, but the subordinates estimate that one hundred thousand taels should not be a problem." ”
"That's it?" Wang Feng frowned, the Taiping army swept Jiangnan, how could it be like this? To put it mildly, the assets of any of the four richest people in Suzhou are probably more than this number, and Hong Xiuquangui is the king of heaven, is the property not as good as a local businessman?
You know, where the Taiping army goes, don't be too happy to eat a big household for three years, the historical stabbing horse case is related to the treasures of the Taiping army, the governor of Liangjiang sent by the Qing court to die one by one, and finally Lafayette recognized the shape and acquiesced to the division of the Taiping army's treasures by the Hunan army.
