In the Dongwang Mansion in Changsha, the lights in the Dongwang's study flickered on and off, and Yang Xiuqing's thin and dark face loomed, and he looked at the music in his hand and was speechless for a long time. Chen Chengying, who was already the deputy prime minister of the local government on the side, put down the wolf pen in his hand, got up and served a bowl of tea soup and stepped forward and said: "Dongwang is nine thousand years old, use some tea soup." ”

Yang Xiuqing rubbed her temples, put down the paperwork with a sigh, and took the bowl, but she put it on her lips for a long time but didn't drink it, and suddenly raised her head and asked, "Chen Chengying, is there a new book coming from the West Hall?" ”

Chen Chengying bowed down and said: "Back to the East King is nine thousand years old, after the arrival of the Song Jie document that captured Nanjing the day before yesterday, no new document has arrived. ”

Yang Xiuqing asked with a gloomy face: "Recently, there have been rumors, what do you think of the proverbs of "Tui Bei Tu"? ”

Chen Chengying lowered his hand and said: "This is a helpless move by the Qing Demon Qian's donkey skills, maliciously slandering the Kingdom of Heaven, but the Kingdom of Heaven has won battles one after another, and this rumor is self-defeating." Speaking of this, Chen Chengying squinted his eyes and looked at Yang Xiuqing slightly, and said hesitantly: "But, it's not ......."

Yang Xiuqing said impatiently: "But what? There are only you and me here, and it doesn't hurt to have anything to say. ”

Chen Chengying lowered his head and said, "However, the king killing the king in the rumors of the Qing Demon must be guarded against." ”

Yang Xiuqing snorted and said, "You go on." ”

Chen Chengying saw that the king of the east was not angry, and boldly continued: "The western palace is going to the east, connecting important towns such as Wuchang, Jiujiang, and Anqing, and now it is recovering Nanjing, with more than 100,000 people, and the momentum is growing, and there are ...... There is already a big tail that will not fall......"

Yang Xiuqing snorted coldly, raised her hand to interrupt his words, and said coldly: "What is your intention in saying this?" ”

Chen Chengying was startled, and knelt on the ground with a pop, but still gritted his teeth and clenched his fists and said: "King Dong, what his subordinates said is from the bottom of his heart, once the King of the West is full-fledged, there will be no dissent, now Nanjing has been conquered, this is the place where the Ming Dynasty Taizu Longxing is, and it is necessary to prevent the King of the West from following Ming Zu and carrying the Red Turban Army." ”

Yang Xiuqing scolded angrily with a straight face: "What nonsense! The Red Turban Army was suspicious of the lord and weak ministers back then, and Ming Taizu replaced it, how can it be compared with my heavenly kingdom? What is the reason why the king of the west has no trace now? ”

Chen Chengying was speechless, Yang Xiuqing snorted and said: "Our six kings of Shouyi are like brothers and sisters, how can we do things like brothers?" Saying this, Yang Xiuqing paused, sighed lightly and said: "The most important thing at the moment is not how to guard against the King of the West, but how to stabilize the King of the West, first discuss the rewards of the meritorious people reported by the King of the West, and then edict all the armies, the rumors spread everywhere must not be spread, but those who find nonsense will be punished!" ”

Chen Chengying bowed down and hugged his fists to receive the order, but the corners of his mouth raised a sneer, and said secretly in his heart, you Yang Xiuqing also know that the West King is difficult to control, so you can only appease, not move lightly, but you just refuse to say it.

At this time, the voice of Zeng Shuiyuan in the east hall outside the house came: "Qi Qi East King, there is a book in the west hall." ”

Yang Xiuqing suddenly stood up from the seat and said, "Send it in!" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan sent the book, Yang Xiuqing hurriedly opened it to watch, the more she looked at it, the more her brows wrinkled, and she breathed a sigh of relief after reading it.

Chen Chengying and Zeng Shuiyuan both didn't know why, they looked at Yang Xiuqing together, and the East King handed over the document and said: "The King of the West asked the King of Heaven and the King of Heaven to move to Nanjing, hoping to take Nanjing as the capital and set the capital, and at the same time willing to hand over the cities along the Yangtze River Wuchang, Jiujiang, Anqing and other cities, and said that the heart of the Qing demon will not die, and the rumors circulating in the market are all nonsense, and he is still a loyal minister of the Heavenly Kingdom, and he will definitely not have a second heart." ”

Chen Chengying and Zeng Shuiyuan hurriedly took it and read it, and after only reading a few words, Chen Chengying said happily: "King Dong, it seems that the King of the West must have heard those rumors and took the initiative to show his loyalty to the King of Heaven and the King of the East." Since the West Hall is willing to hand over the cities occupied along the river, and even advises the King of Heaven and the King of the East to move to Nanjing, then we can transfer to Nanjing. ”

Yang Xiuqing shook his head and paced a few steps with his hands in his hands and said: "Now our soldiers and horses are counted as new soldiers, there are 100,000 horses, but Changsha and other places also need to be guarded by troops, and after taking over the city along the river, how many soldiers and horses can there be when we arrive in Nanjing?" How many Xidian soldiers are there in Nanjing? ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Chengying and Zeng Shuiyuan were stunned, yes, once the troops are thinned, when they reach the city of Nanjing, the West Palace's troops must be extremely dominant, if the West King does not have a second heart, it is okay, once the trouble arises, the King of Heaven and the East King will be extremely passive.

Yang Xiuqing waved his hand in annoyance and said: "Send these books to the Heavenly King, summon the North King and the Wing King back to Changsha to discuss, you also think about how to decide, the capital of Nanjing is related to the fate of the Heavenly Kingdom, it is better to think about it in the long run, you go down first." Then he turned around and looked at the map hanging in the house.

Chen Chengying and Zeng Shuiyuan turned out of the house, and before going out, Chen Chengying looked back, only to see Yang Xiuqing staring blankly at the map, muttering to himself: "What do you mean by this?" What do you mean by that? ”

Chen Chengying also understands what Yang Xiuqing is worried about, the king of the west is now taking the initiative to show weakness, which makes Yang Xiuqing worried, but he is afraid that there is any conspiracy in it, and if he wants to blame, he can only blame the king of the west Shili for expanding too fast, and he can almost compete with the Changsha brigade, and it is no wonder that the king of the east will make such a move.

Three days later, the king of the north and the king of the wings returned to Changsha one after another to gather, Yang Xiuqing convened the generals in the East Palace, and the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan also came out of his palace for the first time and went to the East Palace to participate in the discussion. Since entering Changsha, the King of Heaven has rarely taken care of the government, and has devoted himself to studying the doctrine in the palace of the King of Heaven, but this time it is a major event related to the capital of the Kingdom of Heaven, and the King of Heaven still comes to listen to the government. Why don't you go to the Heavenly King's Mansion to discuss matters? It's just that there are dozens of princesses in the Tianwang Mansion, which is not very convenient, so Hong Xiuquan has no choice but to succumb to the East Wangfu.

In the East King's Mansion, the important ministers and famous generals of the Kingdom of Heaven gathered, Yang Xiuqing sat under the head of the King of Heaven Hong Xiuquan, and did not want to talk nonsense, and said slowly: "Now that the King of the West has come to play the book, the city of Jinling has been down, the King of the West has broken the name of the demon taken by the Qing Demon, changed Jinling to Nanjing, restored the old name of the Ming Dynasty, and at the same time asked the King of Heaven and the King to move to Nanjing, and advised the capital of Nanjing, thinking that the Kingdom of Heaven is the foundation. The establishment of the capital is the most important thing in my heavenly kingdom at present, and it is to gather all the brothers to come back to discuss, is it possible to set the capital of Nanjing? ”

The ministers of the Heavenly Kingdom discussed it when they heard it, for no other reason, the people in Changsha heard some rumors, and after the generals returned to Changsha, they also received the news, and everyone actually understood that the King of the West was declaring his loyalty to the King of Heaven and the King of the East, handing over all the cities that had been fought hard, and proposing to set the capital of Nanjing, in order to eliminate the doubts of the King of Heaven and the King of the East, and also to stabilize the hearts of the army and people of the Kingdom of Heaven. Yang Xiuqing did not talk about the merits of the king of the west, but only discussed whether it was feasible for the king of the west to make the capital of Nanjing, it seems that the king of the east still has some concerns about the capital of Nanjing, but everyone can not guess the mind of the king of the east, you must know that the king of the west used to be the hardcore brother of the king of the east, and there are many people who whisper and talk about it for a while, and there are few people who really speak.

Wei Changhui, the king of the north, got up first, the king of the west went on an expedition, and the king of the east counted him as the highest, and when he saw that everyone did not dare to speak, he could only get up and get up. At that moment, Wei Changhui coughed and said: "When I first arrived in Changsha, my heavenly kingdom had a policy to determine the country, that is, the nine provinces in the south of Dingnan, and then the Northern Expedition of the Three Route Army, which would hunt Yandu, expel Hunu, and restore China." Now the sister-in-law of the West King has laid down Nanjing, which is the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties and the place of Longxing in the Ming Dynasty. ”

Wing King Shi Dakai nodded and said: "Nanjing City is a tiger in the dragon plate, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and there is the Yangtze River natural danger, my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wants to set the nine southern provinces, and Nanjing must be the capital." Now the king of the west has conquered Nanjing, most of the cities of the four provinces along the Yangtze River, Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu and Hubei have been returned to the territory of the kingdom of heaven, the king of heaven and the king of the east are in the middle of the command, and the people of the kingdom of heaven are attacking separately to attack Jiangxi, Hunan, Fujian, and the land of the two provinces can be passed on to the table, and then the west enters Yunnan, Guichuan, and half of the south of the Yangtze River can be determined. ”

Qin Rigang, Hu Yihuang and others also echoed their words, agreeing with the words of the North King and the Wing King, in fact, at the moment the North King wants to continue to stay in Xiangbei to operate, Xu Tu went north to Jingxiang, and the Wing King made a breakthrough in the direction of Liling, after Jiang Zhongyuan retreated to Nanchang, the soldiers and horses of the Wing Hall also began to prepare to enter Jiangxi, the two kings actually have their own small ninety-nine, where the capital is actually for the two kings, the important thing is that the king of heaven and the king of the east go to Nanjing for the two kings is the most happy to see.

Due to the appearance of Xiao Yungui, history has changed, and the Taiping army is much stronger than in history, but it also quickly exposed the shortcomings of too many kings. Historically, the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had their own soldiers and horses, and it was only in the Tianjing Incident that the soldiers of the North Hall killed the soldiers of the East Palace, and later the King of Wing led the troops to the chaos of the King of Qin, and each king had his own cronies and horses. After the north hall entered and occupied Xiangxi, it has expanded to 50,000 soldiers and horses, and the wing hall is in the land of eastern Hunan and western Jiangxi, and there are more than 40,000 people and horses.

Yang Xiuqing had already noticed this, which could be seen from the words of the Northern King and the Wing King, but he remained silent, looked back at the Heavenly King and said: "Second brother, now that the brothers want to set the capital of Nanjing, will they move to Nanjing and change their name to Tianjing, thinking that they are the capital of the Heavenly Kingdom?" ”

Hong Xiuquan stroked his palms and smiled: "Dingdu Nanjing, renamed Tianjing, as it should be, as long as the tiger is in Tianjing, then half of the south of the Yangtze River can be for me." Hehe, the king of the west is still a loyal minister of the kingdom of heaven, and you brothers should no longer take anything that the king of the west has a heart to heart. "Yang Xiu has a ban early in the morning, and he is not allowed to pass on the matter of the king of the west, otherwise he will light the sky lantern, and only Hong Xiuquan dares to mention it, and the leader of the Hong sect is ready to set the capital of Kaifeng, Henan, but when Changsha makes a decision, the generals have already set the strategy of the nine southern provinces and then the Northern Expedition, and the capital of Nanjing is naturally better than nesting in Changsha, you must know that Nanjing has always been the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties, and it is the best choice for the emperor.

Yang Xiuqing nodded and said lightly: "Since this is the case, then let's go east to Tianjing and build a capital and establish a business." When the generals heard this, they all cheered together.

After the cheers of the generals stopped for a while, Yang Xiuqing said again: "Since it is Tianjing, then the king of the north and the king of the wings will naturally go together, so the king of the north will lead 20,000 soldiers of the north palace, the king of the wings will lead the soldiers of the wing hall 10,000, the general leader of Qin Rigang will have 50,000 soldiers in Changsha, and the families of the generals and important ministers of the army will go to Tianjing together, and we will enter the capital of Tianjing to enjoy happiness together." ”

Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai were slightly surprised, the two of them were also going to Tianjing, so what should they do about the war in Hunan and Jiangxi? Before the two of them came to their senses, Yang Xiuqing continued: "Lai Hanying led 20,000 soldiers in Changsha and 30,000 soldiers and horses in the North Hall in Xiangbei, continued the war in Xiangbei, and prepared to take over Wuchang and other important places, Hu Yihuang led 20,000 soldiers in Changsha and the troops in Xiangjiang and Jiangxi, and continued to attack the Qing Demon in Jiangxi Province. The rest of the civil and military forces will go to Tianjing, and we will have the capital, so we will go to the small paradise together to enjoy happiness. ”

Everyone was shocked, Yang Xiuqing cut most of the military power of the North King and the Wing King with a few words of understatement, the North King Wei Changhui never dared to disobey Yang Xiuqing's order, seeing the smile of the Heavenly King, he knew that he could only obey his fate, and the Wing King was hindered by the virtuous name, and it was not easy to refuse, so the two kings had to get up together to receive the order.

Yang Xiuqing's hand played beautifully, not only eliminated the hidden dangers of the North King and the Wing King, but also had more than 80,000 people in the Changsha Brigade that went east, recruiting some new soldiers along the way, and it was not difficult to expand to more than 100,000 people when he arrived in Nanjing. Under this arrangement, Yang Xiuqing not only lifted the threat of the North King and the Wing King, but also had the capital to compete with the West King, which shows his ability to play with power, but will the West King wait for him in Nanjing?
