Chapter 400: The Past Is Gone and Waiting to Be Remembered
As soon as Xianfeng and Seng Greenqin died, coupled with the disappearance of Prince Gong, the Qing court was already leaderless, and it was difficult to turn up the storm, and the Taiping army was able to control Shuntianfu, the military and political center of the Qing Dynasty, and Shun took over the ruling scepter on the land of China.
Shortly thereafter, after several rounds of arduous negotiations, the cooperation agreement between the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Eight Nations was officially signed, and the Eight Nations categorically announced to the world that their armies would officially withdraw from the historical stage of this ancient power, and that they would return the power they once had to the new owner of the land, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
History has gone through a cycle and returned to a new starting point.
Huang Xu, with the assistance of Zhao Xiaofeng and others, took a series of measures to stabilize the shape of Shuntian in a relatively short period of time, and after that, issued an order to the whole army to march across the country, he wanted to completely sweep away all the remnants of the Qing Dynasty in this land and bring all of China into formal unification.
After careful planning and full preparation, Huang Xu divided his troops and began to sweep away the remnants of the Qing army.
And those separatist forces who dared to resist, in the face of the powerful offensive of the Taiping army, like the fallen leaves after the autumn, were destroyed and withered in one fell swoop, from then on, the world was unified, China fell into the hands of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Huang Xu achieved immortal achievements.
After achieving an absolute victory in military and political affairs, Huang Xu also casually disposed of Deng Dinggong, the general of the Qing army who had always wanted to curry favor with him, in his free time. gave him an errand and let him retire.
Huang Xu himself rested for a few days, and then issued an order to let the army rest and recuperate, giving the whole army a three-day holiday, and after three days, Huang Xu would hold a banquet in the camp to reward these hard-working soldiers.
At the same time, Huang Xu ordered Zhao Xiaofeng to repair a letter, play Hong Xiuquan, explain in detail that the matter of the purge has been completed, and ask the class master to return to the court, and list the details of all the generals' contributions, and ask for a reward.
After everything was done, Huang Xu and the whole army indulged in a feast, enjoying this rare good time, after working hard for so long, it was time to relax and relax.
Such days passed unconsciously in happiness, pinching his fingers and counting, more than a month has passed since Huang Xu gave the table to the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, but the king of heaven has not yet ordered it down, Huang Xu can't help but be a little anxious, but although he is in a hurry, Huang Xu can only endure it, because he must not go to ask in such a hurry, after all, the king of heaven is the king, he is a minister, and he is still the kind of minister who has high merit and shocks the lord, a special one.
Huang Xu can only endure, can only wait patiently. Fortunately, the morale of the whole army is good, the atmosphere is also good, and all the generals under his command will also manage every qiē perfectly, and he doesn't need to worry about it, he can wait with confidence.
Such a day passed like this, Huang Xu didn't know how many days had passed, one day, he was in the big tent of the military camp to check some information about the Japanese country from the palace, Huang Xu now began to put all his thoughts on the Japanese people.
"Marshal Qiyu, Mr. Zhao, please come to the palace." Suddenly, a tent keeper came in to report.
Entering the palace, Huang Xu was stunned, when did this Zhao Xiaofeng go to the palace, but when he turned his head and thought about it, he remembered that he hid in the big tent in the army to steal. handed over all the trivial matters to Zhao Xiaofeng. Entrusting Zhao Xiaofeng with full authority to deal with all the matters in the Shuntian Mansion, and Zhao Xiaofeng invited him at this time, it must be a new discovery.
Huang Xu stretched his waist and decided to go out for activities.
He ordered his horses to be prepared, and then he rode them towards the palace.
Huang Xu went all the way unimpeded, and after asking Zhao Xiaofeng about his behavior, he went straight to him.
Huang Xu was familiar with the road, and soon found where Zhao Xiaofeng was, Zhengda Guangming Palace, this Mr. Zhao, he really knows how to find a place, Huang Xu thought.
This Zhengda Guangming Hall is the place where the Qing Emperor and the ministers discussed politics in the past, Zhao Xiaofeng was waiting for him here, I don't know what this guy was thinking, Huang Xu walked towards the inner hall while thinking.
Who knows, he walked in and took a look, and was dumbfounded.
"Master Pony, you're here." If it weren't for Zhao Xiaofeng calling him on the side, his stupidity might not have disappeared.
What did Huang Xu see, which surprised him so much, he was not someone who was surprised so easily.
"What's going on." Huang Xu's face was filled with a happy smile, and he smiled.
Before Zhao Xiaofeng could speak, a voice that Huang Xu had to take seriously came from the high dragon chair: "Okay, you Huang Xu, now that you have a long ability, you don't even take this king seriously, right?"
When Huang Xu heard this, how dare he slack off, hurriedly took a few steps forward, saluted respectfully towards the place where the voice was made, and then said: "Minister, Huang Xu sees His Majesty the Heavenly King, may His Majesty be blessed and healthy."
It turned out to be the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, no wonder Huang Xu was surprised like that.
"Ha, ha, good boy, good, good." Hong Xiuquan laughed and laughed.
The more he watched it, the more he loved it, and he was very satisfied with Huang Xu in his heart, and he felt that only such a young man could be worthy of his two precious daughters.
"Thank you for your majesty's praise, this is all your majesty's teaching." Huang Xu said modestly.
He can't take credit in front of Hong Xiuquan, not only can't, but he also tries to push the credit to Hong Xiu's whole body, what he is most afraid of now is to leave the impression of a high merit in Hong Xiuquan's mind.
This companion is like a companion tiger, the boss is the opposite, how can he care if he is a son-in-law or not, how many heads may not be enough for Hong Xiuquan to cut off, Huang Xu doesn't want to find death.
"Ha, ha, count you kid acquaintance." Hong Xiuquan is very happy, Huang Xu is not credited, he is very happy.
To be honest, Hong Xiuquan was really a little afraid that Huang Xu's credit would be too great, and it would be difficult to control him in the future, but he didn't expect this kid to be a very good person.
"Xie Majesty." Huang Xu is honest.
"You kid must be scolding me, you're thinking, your kid has been giving me a table for so long, but there is no response, you must have scolded my ancestors for eighteen generations." Hong Xiuquan stared at Huang Xu with a smile, quite playful.
"Don't dare, don't dare." Huang Xu broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said.
This Hong Xiuquan is not a traitor, he knows what he thinks in his heart, it seems that in front of him, he must have a twelve-point spirit, otherwise, he must die ugly, Huang Xu thought.
"Okay, relax, I'm here, I don't have any special purpose, just to visit the soldiers, by the way, I'll talk to you, don't be too nervous, relax, ah." Hong Xiuquan said easily.
In fact, Hong Xiuquan came here to surprise Huang Xu and show his majesty in front of the army, so that everyone knew that although Huang Xu was the commander of the army and a first-class powerful person, he still had to bow his head and be respectful before he Hong Xiuquan was comprehensive, and he Hong Xiuquan was the real master of this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
There's a little bit of a declaration of kingship in it.
"Yes, but it's up to your majesty." Huang Xu is only authentic.
"Okay, I've met you too, so I'll leave first, and leave the rest of the time for you, so that you can get together with these old friends of yours, so as not to let you say that I am not close to people, and I am gone." Hong Xiuquan got down from the dragon chair, and after spewing out such words at Huang Xu, he left laughing.
It turned out that it was not only Hong Xiuquan who came this time, but also a lot of people came together, all of whom were Huang Xu's old acquaintances and good friends, all of whom were standing in this hall, Hong Xiuquan's close attendants, Liu Liqing, Yuan Bin, Yang Tong, Huang Xu's good brother, Lu Bo, Yu Zhendong. The three of Guan Tang, and even the miracle doctor Cui Jishi, are all old people, good friends, and good brothers.
When everyone said goodbye, they were all embarrassed, and they inevitably talked about it again, drinking until their legs cramped, and their speeches were dry in their mouths. It's a lot of fun.
In short, the crowd was very happy.
Too much wine. said that there are many things, and everyone told Huang Xu a great news again, his two beautiful girls, Hong Zhengyan and Hong Ruoyan, also came.
When Huang Xu heard this, he was overjoyed, and he couldn't stop complaining to everyone present, why didn't he sue him earlier, why didn't he sue him earlier.
The crowd just laughed happily and didn't answer positively.
Huang Xu knew that these people were deliberately and deliberately torturing him like this.
He took the opportunity to lose his temper, and then took the opportunity to slip away, leaving everyone to look at each other without knowing it, until Huang Xu walked away, everyone understood that Huang Xu was looking for an opportunity to run away, and everyone laughed for a while, and continued to eat and drink, and have fun.
After Hong Zhengyan and Hong Ruoyan met Huang Xu, they first complained, but they couldn't withstand Huang Xu's sweet words, and finally had to lose the battle and obediently go to bed with Huang Xu. to relieve each other's hunger and thirst for many days.
After endless joy, Huang Xu felt that everything was completely new.
A few days later, accompanied by Huang Xu and others, Hong Xiuquan inspected the army and rewarded all the meritorious ministers, and finally returned to the court.
To go back to Tianjing, Huang Xu is really a little reluctant, they came all the way from Anqing, went through a lot of hardships, passed the test, and finally defeated the ancient Qing Dynasty, and expelled the invincible Eight-Nation Alliance from the land of China, which can be understood by a few people, but, fortunately, a qiē has passed, with the departure of the past, they will embrace a better tomorrow.
Huang Xu believes that a better tomorrow will come, and he secretly swears that he will do his best to make China stand among the world's great powers, and he also believes that this day will come soon.
The old past has been buried, and a new page is about to be revealed. (To be continued......)
