The Chenzhou Brigade finally joined forces with the West King and the Yiwang in Changsha. After some red tape, Hong Xiuquan led Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, Shi Dakai, and other civil and military generals of the heavenly kingdom to pay tribute to the emperor and God.

The sacrificial text was made by Hong Xiuquan himself, and it was also read aloud by him himself, when reciting the sacrificial text, Xiao Yungui peeked at it, only to see Hong Xiuquan's face of piety, his eyes were full of reverence, and he held the sacrificial text meticulously with both hands, and the tone of the recitation was peaceful and firm, and the voice was thick and powerful, which made people feel indescribably comfortable after listening to it, and at the same time he revered the God he admired even more.

As the founder of the God Worship Sect, Hong Xiuquan preached and reasoned everywhere, and if the voice was not infectious, it seemed impossible to gather so many congregants. His piety also affected everyone, and when the memorial was burned, the soldiers and civilians of the Heavenly Kingdom in the audience shouted Long live God the Father. Hong Xiuquan's interest was undiminished, and he reasoned with the soldiers and civilians on the stage.

Xiao Yungui didn't expect Hong Xiuquan to come on stage to reason in person, but what he heard him talk about was "The Original Dao Awakening World Training", this document and "The Original Dao Salvation Song", "The Original Dao Jue Shixun", "Baizheng Song" and other documents are all from Hong Xiuquan's hand, all of them are included in the "Taiping Edict", which was engraved and distributed in Yong'an at the beginning of the year, and Xiao Yungui also has a copy of the "Taiping Edict", but he has never read it.

"If you come to bless, you will have a large amount, and if you have a large amount, you will be an adult; The small amount of blessing is small, and the small amount is a villain. It is to Mount Tai without giving up the soil, so it can become its high; The river and the sea do not choose a trickle, so they can be deep; The king is not only a man, so he can become his virtue. All of this is done in quantity. It's hard to say as hard as it is today! The world is obedient, people's hearts are thin, loved and hated, and one is selfish. ”

Hong Xiuquan's speed of speech is moderate, fortunately, what he said is not too difficult, Xiao Yungui understands it, Hong Xiuquan is talking about the selfishness of human nature, and he doesn't understand a lot of the following paragraph, what is the same country that hates this province and this county, and hates this province and this county with other provinces, and hates this province and this county. Without him, its view is small, so its quantity is small.

Xiao Yungui seems to understand a little, Hong Xiuquan is saying that fighting and killing each other is because human nature is selfish, and he doesn't think so, people in later generations are even more selfish, human nature is originally selfish, what's strange. After that, a large part of it tells the style of the ancient Yao Shun when he ruled the world, and how people loved each other at that time. Xiao Yungui is also dismissive, Yao Shun time? Who can tell what happened thousands of years ago? Eighty percent was made up by Lao Hong himself. In short, it is to persuade people to be kind, to promote the ideal of one family in the world and to share peace.

After finishing the speech, Xiao Yungui was a little impatient, and secretly laughed in his heart, what kind of world is preached here, sharing peace, and when he turned his head, he was about to kill those big families and banner people, or as the Kingdom of Heaven preached, these people are all demons and monsters, and they are all damned people, so they are demons, and they are not people.

After Hong Xiuquan finished reasoning, he motioned to Lu Xianba, who was the left palm next to him, to continue reasoning, and he took square steps under the guidance of Xiao Yungui and walked into the governor's yamen.

The governor's yamen had already been cleaned up by Xiao Yungui's order, and it was whitewashed, but Hong Xiuquan didn't seem to be satisfied, frowned and said: "The demon official office here is quite demonic, and it must also be rectified." ”

Xiao Yungui was a little unclear, so Yang Xiuqing said lightly on the side: "There must be other courtyards in the city for the second brother to rest, and this is the place where the court nobles prepare for this king, but is this?" ”

Yang Xiuqing's question was directed at Xiao Yungui, and Xiao Yungui suddenly understood that Hong Xiuquan disliked the old governor's yamen and did not want to live here. After secretly scolding a few words in his heart, Xiao Yungui smiled slightly and said: "Exactly, this is the place where the fourth brother is prepared to deal with military and political affairs, and the second brother's residence is arranged separately." ”

Hong Xiuquan smiled, shook his hand and said, "It's okay, it's good to have tiles to cover your head, and you don't need to bother your compatriots to find another place." ”

Xiao Yungui didn't blink his eyes, and said slowly: "The Heavenly King is the Lord of the Heavenly Kingdom, and he controls all the people on behalf of the Heavenly Father Emperor God, how can the place where he lives be simple? There is a mansion in the city of Huang Mian, the former official of the Qing Demon, a large mansion with seven entrances and seven exits, the younger brother has raided Huang Mian's house the day before yesterday, and the house is also cleaned and prepared, which can be used by the king of heaven to stay. After the discussion was over, the younger brother personally led the second brother over. ”

Hong Xiuquan sighed, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Seven in and seven out of the courtyard? It's rare for the compatriots to bother, if they push it back, it will be in vain for the compatriots to work hard, so let's wait for the discussion and go over and take a look? ”

Xiao Yungui bowed down and said, "Little brother must be ready." ”

After speaking, the kings, civil and military generals went to the hall and sat down to prepare for the discussion. Xiao Yungui walked behind, beckoning to Tang Erniu, the protector of the West Palace, Tang Erniu rushed to him, Xiao Yungui said in a low voice: "You hurry up and take more people to Huang Mian's mansion, clean up the inside and outside, and prepare everything for me as needed, and the Heavenly King will go over later." Tang Erniu bowed down and hugged his fists to receive the order, and went quickly.

Hong Yun'er walked over and smiled softly beside Xiao Yungui: "You are very quick to adapt, seeing the wind makes the rudder pat the ass, it is really powerful." ”

Xiao Yungui was very thick-skinned, his face was not red, and he said lightly: "It is necessary to arrange the leader's food and lodging, learn it." After saying that, she strode towards the hall, Hong Yun'er pursed her lips, snorted and scolded a few shameless words, and then followed.

On the small Hunan Governor's Yamen Hall, it was full of princes, prime ministers and civil and military generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan sat on the first throne, Yang Xiuqing sat on the side of the lower head, sat on the left hand side of the West King, the right hand sat on the North King, the West Wang Niang sat next to the West King, the Yiwang sat next to the North King, and the rest of the prime ministers, civil and military generals at all levels sat down one after another, crowded to the brim.

Everyone sat down and quickly quieted down, the West Temple Counselor escorted the hot tea, Hong Xiuquan raised the teacup and said: "Brothers, let's celebrate with tea instead of wine, congratulations that we have finally built a provincial city, and the foundation of the Kingdom of Heaven will prosper from then on!" ”

Everyone stood up and raised their glasses and shouted, "Long live the kingdom of heaven!" He drank tea and sat down again.

Hong Xiuquan hummed with satisfaction, looked at Yang Xiuqing beside him and said, "Brother Xiu, tell me about it." ”

Yang Xiuqing was also not polite, it seemed that he had long been impatient to speak, and stood up and said: "At this moment, we have successfully come to Changsha to meet with the former army of the Western King, but there are also Qing Demon Xiang Rong, He Chun, Qin Dingsan, Jiang Zhongyuan and others behind him with demon soldiers to follow, and there is also Qing Demon Hunan Governor Zhang Liangji leading the demon soldiers in the north, how to use the troops next, I don't know if you brothers have any ideas?" ”

Before the words fell, everyone was talking about it, and at this time, Xiao Yungui saw a person behind him standing up, and when he looked back, this person was Luo Xuan, the fierce general of the Tuyi General System at the time. I saw that he had a sideways face, a bearded face, and a rough appearance, and he tore open the broken gong and said loudly: "The King of Heaven and the King of the East are glorious, and the younger brother thinks that there is a good plan to do." The best policy is that the Qing demon lair is entrenched in the northern frontier, if you want to map north, you must first set Henan, the king of heaven and the king of the east can lead me to continue the northern expedition, the big driver is stationed in Henan, sweeping the Central Plains, the army can calmly cross the Yellow River, the north of the rivers and mountains, if the king of heaven and the king of the east feel that this strategy is too urgent, the younger brother still has a middle strategy. This middle strategy is, first according to Changsha, send troops from all sides to attack, Dingnan nine provinces, no internal worries, and then three ways out of the division, one out of Hunan Chu, one out of Hanzhong, the rapid trend of Xianyang, with Xu, Yang swept the left of the mountain (Shandong), and then out of the right of the mountain (Shanxi), will hunt Yandu, this strategy is a little slow, but it can be guaranteed to be foolproof. ”

Xiao Yungui sighed softly, he didn't expect that Luo Outline seemed to be such a rough character, but the general outline in his heart was so clear, and the two sides he said were good choices.

But Yang Xiuqing seemed to be a little unkind to see Luo Xuan, and frowned slightly: "The army continues to go north, it is almost winter at the moment, Jiangbei is suddenly cold, I am afraid that the southern soldiers are not used to it, and Jiangbei is not as rich as Jiangnan, I am afraid it will be difficult to get food." Well, it's worth discussing. ”

Xiao Yungui's heart moved, to determine the nine southern provinces and then the Northern Expedition, it seems that the general direction is set, Yang Xiuqing intends to seek stability, he doesn't want to cross the Jiangbei Expedition so quickly, he also knows that the Qing army is still very big at this moment, the Northern Expedition of the whole army is more like a big gamble, the bet won the peace of the world, and even his life was lost if he lost the bet.

At this time, a person beside Hong Yun'er stood up and said loudly: "What the king of the east said is very true, first determine the nine southern provinces, and then plan the northern expedition, this is a foolproof strategy. But at present, if you want to determine the nine southern provinces, you need to determine Hunan first, but except for Changsha, the rest of Hunan are in the hands of the enemy, and Changsha is surrounded by enemies. The younger brother thought that he should send troops and horses to attack from all sides and quickly defeat the Qing Demon before he could settle Hunan. ”

This person has a dark and thin face, sword eyebrows and sideburns, a mustache, and a fierce appearance, Xiao Yungui also recognized it, but it was Qin Rigang, the prime minister of Tianguanzheng. Although there are as many as 24 prime ministers in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there are only two prime ministers in Yong'an, Qin Rigang and Chunguanzheng Prime Minister Hu Yihuang, and no matter how many prime ministers, the status of the prime minister of Tianguan is not ordinary, and he is called the leader of the court, and his official position is the highest under the kings.

Qin Rigang's speech is also very weighty among the hundred officials, he is sure of the middle strategy, but he said that what the East King said is very true, as if this strategy of first determining the nine southern provinces and then planning the Northern Expedition was Yang Xiuqing's idea, and the sycophants were not visible, which made Xiao Yungui admire for a while. However, he only said that everyone is aware of the situation at the moment, and the suggestion he said is only to send troops from all sides to grab territory, which is all unnutritious words, and if he says it, he doesn't say it, who doesn't know that he will send troops to grab land now?

After Qin Rigang finished speaking, everyone began to talk in a low voice again, but no one stood up to speak, Yang Xiuqing frowned and coughed lightly, looked at the three kings of the northwest wing, and said slowly: "Do the three virtuous brothers have a high opinion?" ”

Shi Dakai groaned: "Prime Minister Qin Cheng said that sending troops from all sides is afraid that the strength of the Heavenly Kingdom at this moment will not be enough. The younger brother thought that when the dangerous places such as Miao Peak in the south of Changsha City, Xiangjiang River in the west of the city, and Yuelu Mountain were used as barriers to prevent the Qing demons such as Rong in the south, two troops and horses were divided, and one entered Jiangxi Province in the east, captured Nanchang, and tried to dominate Jiangxi. The other group went north to Hubei Province, attacked and occupied the three towns of Wuchang, and dominated southern Hubei. After the victory of the two armies and horses, and then land and water and attack to take Jiangsu and Zhejiang, thought that the foundation of the kingdom of heaven, after Jiangsu and Zhejiang were taken, Guangdong, Fujian and Guizhou can be passed on to decide, then the army will point to the west, and it is not difficult to pacify Yunnan, Guichuan and Sichuan! ”
