Chapter 455: How to Choose
Speaking of which, things are just separated by a thin layer of window paper, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er, the husband and wife, after two years of hard planning for the Tianjing Incident, things are finally developing in a better direction step by step as they expected. When they began to plan how to deal with the Tianjing Incident and make the West Hall control the power of Tianjing, the Wing King Shi Dakai was one of the objects of the couple's last plot. Although they had also thought about whether to borrow Wei Changhui's knife to get rid of this trouble once and for all during the Tianjing Incident, in the end, neither of them could make up their minds.
It is undeniable that the departure of the Wing King from Tianjing in history brought a huge blow to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom no less than the second Tianjing Incident. But in the eyes of Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er, Shi Dakai's departure was forced to be helpless, after Hong Xiuquan pacified the rebellion of the Northern King, he was very serious about anyone with a foreign surname, and he was only willing to crown Shi Dakai as the righteous king, and refused to give him real power, that is, to add the title of military advisor, but relied more on his two elder brothers, Hong Renda and Hong Renfa.
In this case, Shi Dakai has no power in his hands, and he is bound to do things, so what is the point of staying? If it were Xiao Yungui's choice, he would also run away. At the same time, it is precisely because of the example of Shi Dakai being forced to run away in history, so that the couple completely understood that Hong Xiuquan could not stay, and to seize power was to win the whole thing, although Shi Dakai also raised troops in history, but he was burdened by the name of loyalty, he couldn't let go of his hands and feet, and he didn't dare to pierce the layer of window paper, so that the Hong sect leader continued to lead the soldiers and people of the Kingdom of Heaven to go further and further on the wrong road, and finally led to the defeat of the Kingdom of Heaven. The reason for this is that Shi Dakai did not take advantage of the east wind of the Tianjing Incident to seize power at that time, and he gave up fighting for it afterwards. chose to open up another battlefield, and finally wiped out the entire army at the Dadu River.
In view of this, the ultimate goal of the couple is to completely pull Hong Xiuquan off the throne and seize the power of the kingdom of heaven, only in this way can things develop as they should be. And to seize the power of the Heavenly Kingdom, we must first solve Hong Xiuquan, Hong Xiuquan has already made arrangements, and the rest is to solve Wei Changhui, Yang Fuqing, Shi Dakai and others. Several other princes, Xiao Yungui is confident that he can handle it well, just like Yang Fuqing. Although he has hundreds of thousands of heavy troops, his foundation is unstable after all, and although it will take some effort to solve it, it is not too difficult. And Wei Changhui, Qin Rigang and others are already desperate, so it is better to solve it. If it weren't for Xiao Yungui's need for them to do something, these two would have gone to heaven a long time ago.
In the end, it was the winged king Shi Dakai in front of him. He has hope. has the ability and has a group of diehard loyalists, which is the biggest stumbling block in front of the king of his west, Xiao Yungui's plan at that time was to save Shi Dakai first and show him gratitude; Then there is the king of Qinqin, and in the name of the king of the west, he commands the king of wings. Hold down the Winged King in prestige; Then it was to force Shi Dakai into a desperate situation, whether it was the siege of Wuchang, the change of banners of the East Temple Naval Army, or the lack of food for the Wing Hall army. In fact, Xiao Yungui has calculated this, it is not by chance that Yidian is in a desperate situation, and Xiao Yungui of course knows that his old classmate will not let go of such a good opportunity. In the end, it is to open a showdown with Shi Da with the strong strength of the West Palace, and a showdown with a smart person like Shi Dakai, you don't need any rhetorical lobbying, let alone impress him with high-ranking officials (he is already the Wing King, what do you take to seal him?). can only impress him with the national righteousness of the country and the whole heart.
When Shi Dakai and others saw the Blue Water, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er's words were indeed very successful. These words are not sensational, but something that the two of them will often think about in later generations as college students studying history. Yes, when China was still a world power, why didn't the ancestors continue the glory? China's weakness was under the rule of internal friction and the perverted Manchu Qing Dynasty, which slowly precipitated, and finally accumulated weakness for a hundred years, allowing others to bully. The impact of more than 100 years ago continues to this day, the country is still struggling for living space, and the task of reviving and re-emerging a great power still falls on the shoulders of future generations.
The couple who studied history had thought about these questions in the past, and when they came back, these reflections and questions became spurs and encouragement to the two of them, and if they did not do well, future generations would really ask questions like they did back then, so that they could not sleep in peace.
So the words of the two of them were sincere and heartfelt, from the effect point of view, it was indeed very shocking to Shi Dakai and others, at least after speaking, even Han Baoying, who seemed to be the most uncontrollable among the three, did not come out to scold King Xi for being a chaotic minister and thief, although their words were disloyal, but they were sincere to the country and the nation.
Shi Dakai stood there quietly, but he was fighting between heaven and man in his heart, Xiao Yungui made the last mend in a timely manner, "Regardless of the name before his death, regardless of the posthumous evaluation." Da Brother, you and I have known each other for many years, is loyalty to one person not as good as responsibility to tens of millions of people? Although we seem to be disloyal and unrighteous at the moment, a hundred years later, we will not be scolded as thieves by future generations. But if we let the country and the nation collapse because of our internal friction, then we are the sinners of the country and the nation through the ages! Dasi, do you want to be a sinner through the ages, or a hero who controls your destiny? Think about it yourself, I'll be waiting for you in the ship's parlor, and come up and sue me after you have thought of the answer! After that, Xiao Yungui waved his robe and strode onto the deck of the Blue Water.
Hong Yun'er looked at Shi Dakai, whose face was uncertain, and said with a slight smile: "The Blue Water is about to set sail for Wuchang, don't think about delaying the sailor for too long." After Zhang Suimou and Han Baoying nodded slightly, they followed King Xi on the Blue Water.
This is perhaps the most wonderful political lobbying in the world, without the promise of all kinds of benefits, without the distribution of interests, and without deceit, and there is only a prospect of the future of the country and the nation, perhaps for two men who are equally open-minded and can pretend to be fields, these words are enough.
Luo Xuan didn't follow, he walked up to Shi Dakai and said, "His Royal Highness the Wing King, his subordinates are waiting here, and when the Wing King wants to board the ship, his subordinates will lead the way." ”
Shi Dakai didn't look at Luo Xuan, but asked rhetorically: "Brother Luo, you have followed the King of the West for the longest time, why did you choose to follow the King of the West instead of the King of the East back then?" ”
Luo Xuan didn't expect Shi Da to suddenly ask at a meeting. Without thinking about it, he said: "Because the king of the west is really doing things for the world." ”
Shi Dakai looked at Luo Xuan a little strangely and said, "Aren't the Heavenly King and the Eastern King not?" ”
Luo Xuan smiled, shook his head and didn't answer Shi Dakai's question, but said: "Your Highness, your subordinates and Su Sanniang are already preparing to get married, and I originally planned to invite Your Highness after I come back, but it seems that I should tell Your Highness first." ”
Shi Dakai sighed softly and said, "You and Su Sanniang are getting married?" She, she's married......"
Luo Xuan's mighty face was rarely slightly red, and he said with a cheerful smile: "It's the matchmaker made by King Xi, the red line drawn by King Xi's mother, King Xi is right, we are soldiers to fight." Are you not even afraid of death, are you still afraid of marrying a married woman? If you like it, you can marry and go home, it is better than dying on the battlefield in the future, leaving regrets in your heart. ”
Shi Dakai looked at Luo Xuan and smiled warmly, and said with a smile: "Then congratulations first." Then he asked, "But you were on the front line in northern Jiangsu." Why did you bring back the trolls this time? You fought Monk Greenqin in northern Jiangsu, but you didn't dare to take the next step in the south. ”
Luo Xuan said without concealment: "King Xi said that everyone in the West Hall will not stay in just one place. Each one will only appear where it suits him best. Many people on the side of the Dongdian Navy are my old subordinates. This time I came to relieve the siege of Wuchang is a matter, and the more important thing is to gather these old subordinates in the east hall, and in the entire west hall, I am the most suitable for this matter, so I came. The monk Lingqin in northern Jiangsu has already returned to Zhili, so I don't dare to go south if I am not in the Qing Demon. ”
Shi Dakai was silent. Luo Xuan opened his mouth and said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the Wing King, my subordinates are still waiting for you on the side." After speaking, Luo Xuan walked aside and chatted with a few subordinates, and smoked cigarettes to each other, and several people whispered and laughed. It seems that the relationship is extremely harmonious.
Although Luo Outline did not answer Shi Dakai's question, Shi Dakai had already only said the answer, Luo Outline had already lost his mind to the King of the West, and the same was true of the military and the people in the West Palace, and the fact that the King of the West could hold the hearts of the army and the people was actually a proof that he sincerely did things for the country and the people, and there was no need to say anything else.
Zhang Suimou stepped forward, he didn't know how to phrase it, and reluctantly squeezed out a sentence: "Your Highness, why don't we go back to Wuchang." ”
Shi Da was happy for a while, Zhang Suimou's words were very clear, he asked Shi Dakai not to wade into this troubled water, since the King of the West is ready to take over the power of the Heavenly Kingdom, the power of the West Hall is unstoppable, and Shi Dakai is unwilling to be caught in the middle of the difficult to do, under the dilemma, maybe returning to Wuchang to stay out of the matter is the best policy. In the future, whether the King of Heaven is in power or the King of the West is in power, or the Winged King is still the Winged King of Heaven, it is better than suffering here.
Shi Dakai muttered in disappointment: "Go back?" Zhang Suimou bowed his head slightly and said: "Wuchang is tight, and the Wing King is also needed to sit in charge there, the Wing King can ask the West King to follow the navy back to Wuchang, and the Wing King is not here, so it means that our Wing Hall will give up the heart of contention, and once Tianjing is determined in the future, no matter who enters Tianjing, we will act according to the orders of Tianjing." Returning to Wuchang is also an answer that King Xi can accept. ”
Han Baoying bit her red lip and said, "Father-in-law, it's better to go back first, since we can't do anything here, it's better to go back and kill the Qing Demon!" ”
Shi Dakai walked to the edge of the dock, looked at the surging river and was silent for a long time, and then turned back after a while and said, "Okay! We will go back to Wuchang, and in the future, we will be ordered by Tianjing, and all the soldiers and horses in the east hall and north hall in the headquarters will be handed over to the west king! But the great revenge of my wing hall needs the west hall to avenge it for us! ”
Zhang Suimou bowed his head slightly and said: "Yes, I believe that the king of the west will still be able to agree to the promise of exchanging the heads of Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang for the wing hall." ”
The discussion has been decided, Shi Dakai suddenly felt extremely relaxed in his heart, and when he was about to board the ship, Han Baoying suddenly blushed and pulled the corner of Shi Dakai's robe and said, "Father-in-law, can you talk to the King of the West, I want to stay in the West Palace." ”
Shi Dakai glanced at her a little strangely, and Zhang Suimou said: "Your Highness, it's good that someone is taking care of you in the West Palace, and the fourth girl is a person who can be trusted." ”
Shi Dakai hummed, and agreed, Han Baoying was very happy, looking at the tall ship's side and thinking in his heart, King Xi, King Xi, I want to see what kind of person you are. (To be continued......)
