Chapter Twenty-Seven: Enemies on All Sides

After Zhu Changlin and the others said goodbye and left, only Xiao Yungui and Zeng Shuiyuan were left in the hall, looking at Zeng Shuiyuan with a surprised expression, Xiao Yungui paced back and forth a few steps with his hands in his hands, and said lightly: "These people kill them as well as use them, in the past, we killed all the big households, robbing the big ones is actually the practice of killing chickens and eggs, who would dare to be with us in the future?" Brother Zeng, you have to understand that our rebellion is ultimately to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and let the poor people in the world live a good life, before overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty and taking over the world, all the people we can use can be used, and if we don't use these people, they will be used by the Qing demons, and if this continues, the road we will take will become narrower and narrower. ”

Zeng Shuiyuan was shocked in his heart, recalling that since Jintian raised troops, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always adopted a rogue-style combat method, after laying down a place, taking official warehouses, robbing large households, killing flag people, fighting to raise war, and attracting more people and horses, until now the scale of tens of thousands of elite soldiers, in Zeng Shuiyuan's view, killing the rich and helping the poor is a matter of course, and this is what the army wants to do, but now listening to Xiao Yungui say this, I can't help but feel a little confused.

Xiao Yungui saw Zeng Shuiyuan's solemn face, knowing that he was starting to waver a little, he smiled secretly in his heart, and then struck while the iron was hot, directly ruining his three views, so he coughed and continued: "In the long run, my heavenly kingdom wants to be the same in the world and share peace, I absolutely agree with this dream, but to realize it, it is extremely difficult, without careful deployment, can I Taiping just keep fighting north?" Where to go is a head? After leaving Guangxi, the big guys don't have an idea, so let's just keep being a rogue? ”

Zeng Shuiyuan was stunned for a while, Xiao Yungui's words hit the heart of him and most of the Taiping army, they fought from Guangxi to Hunan, where are they going? Indeed, no one knows, after the battle of Changsha in history, the leaders of the Taiping army began to discuss this matter, zuihou or Yang Xiuqing put forward a strategy to concentrate on Jinling, and the long-haired people had a raging war spirit, pushing all the way east from Yuezhou, 27 days to nearly a thousand miles, conquering Nanjing, I have to say that it is indeed a miracle in military history. But now Zeng Shuiyuan really can't see any strategy for Jinling in front of him.

Xiao Yungui said lightly: "Now that we have conquered Changsha, this is the first provincial city captured by our Heavenly Kingdom, and we should manage it well, so we can't kill people indiscriminately, divide and win over rich businessmen and giants, and let some people use it for me is the best policy." As long as we can gain a firm foothold in Hunan, whether we go north to Hubei, west to Yunnan and Guizhou, east to Jiangxi, or south to our hometown of Guangxi, we can be at ease. What's more, the Chenzhou brigade has not arrived, and there are some things that we can't act overstepping, do we still have to wait for the king of heaven and the king of the east to decide, otherwise we will do it brutally and ruin the plan of the king of heaven and the king of the east, this is not good, brother zeng, you are a smart person, you should understand. ”

Zeng Shuiyuan was confused by Xiao Yungui's words, and only felt that what King Xi said was indeed reasonable, so he immediately bowed down and said: "What His Royal Highness King Xi said is very true, and his subordinates understand." ”

Xiao Yungui nodded with satisfaction, his heart was happy, and Zeng Shuiyuan said again: "There are still tens of thousands of banner people in the city, can these people be killed?" ”

Xiao Yungui hesitated in his heart, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom originally raised troops under the slogan of expelling Hu Nu, and he had not killed the rich businessmen and giants, if he didn't even kill the Hu people, it would be too much to say, but most of these banner people Zeng Shuiyuan said were old and weak women and children, tens of thousands of people, and he couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

At this moment, the swordsman outside the hall reported: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Tong Qiangsheng, who went out to inquire about the news, has returned." ”

Xiao Yungui hurriedly said, "Hurry up and let him in." He really couldn't make up his mind to slaughter so many people, he could drag it out, and Tong Qiangsheng's arrival just broke his siege. …,

I saw Tong Qiangsheng sweating profusely and walked up to the hall, it seemed that he was rushing back, and without waiting for Xiao Yungui to ask, Tong Qiangsheng hugged his fists and said: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, the Qing Demon Admiral Bao Qibao led three thousand defeated soldiers to retreat to Xiangyin, and now he will join the Qing Demon Hubei Admiral Shuangfu to reinforce three thousand troops, and they are rushing to the north of Changsha City." There are also traces of the Qing demon enemy in the south, about a thousand Qing demons are stationed in Xiangtan, and many inquiries only know that this Qing demon is the Qing demon division besieging the Chenzhou brigade, and the leader is Deng Shaoliang, the deputy general of the Qing Demon Chuxiong Association. ”

Zeng Shuiyuan heaved and said angrily: "It's Deng Shaoliang again, this dog thief, this Qing demon has followed Xiang Demon Head and my holy soldiers to fight in Guangxi for more than a year, and how many of our brothers' blood are on his hands!" ”

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and muttered, "What about the east and west? ”

Tong Qiangsheng gasped a few times and then said: "There are also traces of the enemy in the west, our brothers in the west intercepted and killed a few Qing Demon messengers, and found someone to read the content of the letter, which is a reply from Jia Hengjin, the same knowledge of the Qing Demon Phoenix Hall, and Qu Tenglong, the deputy general of the Yongsui Association, to Bao Demon Head, this Qing Demon More than 2,000 people are coming to Changsha, and the Qing Demon Letter is here. ”

Xiao Yungui took Tong Qiangsheng's letter and opened it, Zeng Shuiyuan came forward to watch it together, and the letter was indeed as Tong Qiangsheng said, and there was also a Qing demon attack in the west.

After reading the letter, Xiao Yungui calmed down and asked, "What about the east?" ”

Tong Qiangsheng replied: "In the southeast, there is Wang Jialin, the chief soldier of Hebei Town, who raised troops from Anren to Youxian County, and there are more than 1,500 Qing demons under his command, and more than 1,000 Qing demons from the Jiujiang Battalion in Jiangxi Province are in one place, and they are about to arrive in Liling. ”

Xiao Yungui turned around and came to the table, opened the sheepskin map, picked up the brush and made a rough mark on the map, and then fell into deep thought. Zeng Shuiyuan looked at Xiao Yungui suspiciously at this time, when will His Royal Highness the King of the West be able to read so many letters and be able to write, and he still doesn't know the font. Of course Zeng Shuiyuan didn't know it, because the characters written by Xiao Yungui were simplified, but it was certain that what Xiao Yungui wrote was indeed Chinese characters, but the writing was very ugly.

The Qing demon has a complete post station to deliver the news, this letter looks at the date, it was sent out on the day of the fall of Changsha, and the Qing army post station in the west has not yet received the news of the fall of Changsha, so the messenger still came directly to Changsha, and was caught by Tong Qiangsheng's manpower. But it can be seen from this that before Changsha fell, the news of Luo Bingzhang and Bao Qibao's request for help had already been sent, and the Qing army was coming to Changsha in all directions, and the situation would only get worse and worse.

Xiao Yungui frowned and asked, "Is there any news from the Chenzhou brigade?" ”

Zeng Shuiyuan was still wondering about Xiao Yungui's sudden knowledge of so many words, Xiao Yungui asked again before saying: "There was news in Chenzhou in the morning, more than 1,000 people and horses led by Xi Wangniang and the women's camp and the children's camp were on the way to Changsha, and now that I heard the news of Brother Tong, I am afraid that they will encounter Qing demons on the road." ”

Xiao Yungui was stunned for a moment, then became furious, and scolded: "Damn, this is a war, what kind of fun is a group of women with their children?!" Don't you think Changsha is messy enough?! Whose fucking idea was this?! Do you want me to divide my troops to save them?! Damn, does Lao Tzu have so many soldiers and horses?! (New books for collection, recommendation)
