"I heard what the Bujia brothers said, this time they came in handy, of course, this is their own statement, what is the truth, I can only ask you. Wei Qing snorted: "But in my experience, at least they won't disappoint." “

"Yes." Bai Yi had a positive attitude towards the Bujia brothers: "The brothers are really rare geniuses, but it's a pity that the two of them don't have much interest in business, otherwise it would be a matter of achieving their own business empire." “

"It's enough to be obsessed with design." Wei Qing said: "Third Uncle heard that you have done something amazing with the Bujia brothers this time, and I am very happy, let us give you a gift." “

"Gifts?" Bai Yi was taken aback: "We do things for the organization, and the organization has always been business-oriented, what is going on this time, there is still an unexpected joy?" “

Hearing the ridicule in Bai Yi's words, Wei Qing was not angry: "The organization has organizational regulations, but individuals still have some emotions, why, appreciate you, so give a small gift, and now it will become an explicit rule in the organization?" “

Fu Yu glared at Bai Yi, and Bai Yi laughed: "Okay, let's take a look at what kind of gift the third uncle gave." （）“

Wei Qing took out the painting from the box, and Shen Bing immediately exclaimed: "This is too extravagant, right?" “

This portrait is very interesting, not to mention the ancient paintings, there are actually gems inlaid on it, Bai Yi looked at the woman above, and also felt very interesting, the woman in the ordinary painting is either in the flowers, or in the mirror makeup, this woman, actually rolled up her sleeves, is bending over on the ground looking for something, and her dress, "This woman is a woman in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period." Bai Yi said immediately.

On the painting is not very exquisite, not a famous painter, but very cherished, especially in the woman's hair inlaid with gems, the owner of this painting must be very fond of the woman in the painting, Bai Yi came closer to see, suddenly saw the woman's clothes faintly two words, his heart moved, it was the woman's name, he carefully lifted the painting, and looked at the light carefully...... "Xuanjiao." “

"There's something interesting about this painting." Bai Yi said: "This woman seems to be looking for something, and looking at the background, it is dilapidated, what will she be looking for on the battlefield?" “

"Xuanjiao. Wei Yi also saw those two words, and his face suddenly changed: "Does the third uncle want you to ......?"

"It doesn't seem to be an ordinary gift-giving." Even Wei Qing also understood: "It's strange, when the third uncle saw me, he just gave me this painting and asked me to bring it to you, and he didn't say much about the rest, what's going on?" “

Daring to give gifts is just Wei Qing's statement, Bai Yi was a little helpless, Fu Yu went to check the box containing the painting, and sure enough, he found a letter underneath: "Here." “

Wei Yi blamed: "The third uncle didn't say it, it was because he was a nobleman, and it was not easy to take the time to come out, what about you, I didn't ask clearly, so I thought that the third uncle suddenly changed his style." “

Wei Qing was a little embarrassed: "It's that I'm thinking too much, who asked me to send this point, I thought it was a reward." Although there was no precedent before, the rules are dead, and people are alive. “

"Let's find what the people in this painting are looking for." Bai Yi smiled bitterly: "It's just a painting, I don't know anything except that this is a female general, Hong Xuanjiao of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, what kind of medicine is sold in this gourd of the third uncle?" “

"Who is this woman?" Xiaoshan asked curiously.

Shen Bing shrugged: "Didn't Bai Yi say it, the female general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xuanjiao is also." “

The earliest mention of this female general is "Hong Xuanjiao's Biography", which is described like this: "Hong Xuanjiao, known in the army as Xiao Wangniang, Tianwang sister, and the noble wife of the Western King Xiao Dynasty." Under the age of thirty, Yan is peerless, brave and abnormal, from hundreds of female soldiers, good at fighting, and meritorious. Xiao Wangniang and the female soldiers are all produced in Guangxi, deeply worship Xiuquanjiao, and worship the emperor first in every battle. Light makeup out of the battle, waving double knives, sharp and snowy. Riding a horse, the saddle waist cage is white, the long body is white, and the skirt is blue and bright. Facing the wind, commanding the women's army, the shirt is mixed, and he thinks he is a celestial. Female soldiers are all pennants and silver shields. In the middle of the war, Xiao Wangniang undressed and rode into and out of the Manchu army. The inner clothes are wrapped in apricot yellow silk, the knife skills are wonderful, the color of the clothes is illusory, and the army is terrifying. “

Hong Xuanjiao is Hong Xiuquan's half-sister. Hong Xiuquan's father, Hong Guoyou, married three wives and gave birth to three sons and one daughter, Hong Xiuquan and Hong Xuanjiao were born to the second and third aunts respectively. After Hong Guoyou's death, the family fell into the middle, and the children divided their things in order to make a living. After repeated attempts, Hong Xiuquan founded the Society of God, and later launched the Taiping Rebellion. Hong Xuanjiao joined a gang of wandering artists and went around performing for a living. In the artist team, Hong Xuanjiao has learned a good kung fu.

Once Hong Xuanjiao went to Wuxuan Lulu Cave to perform art, Xiao Chaogui, a son of a local Yin Shi farmer, fell in love with Hong Xuanjiao at first sight and wanted to redeem her and marry her. Hong Xuanjiao was also tired of wandering around and acting on the spot, so she agreed to Xiao Chaogui's marriage proposal. Xiao Chaogui ransomed her with fifty taels of silver and welcomed her into the Xiao family. But Hong Xuanjiao and Xiao Chaogui just lived together, and they didn't marry through the Ming media. Later, Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao participated in the Taiping Rebellion together. The Taiping Army founded the country in Yong'an, and Hong Xiuquan married Hong Xuanjiao to Xiao Chaogui, who had been named the king of the West. Hong Xuanjiao became the "Princess of the West." After the Taiping army left Yong'an, it entered Hunan through Guilin and Liuzhou. The war was extremely tragic, and in the fierce battle at Lingyi Ferry, Feng Yunshan, the king of the South, was shot and died; During the siege of Changsha City, Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West, was killed again. Hong Xuanjiao, who was newly married, became a widow.

There is a sentence that says, there are many rights and wrongs in front of the widow's door, and there are all kinds of stories about Hong Xuanjiao, such as her political skills, which are said to be no less than Wu Zetian and Cixi, Hong Xuanjiao's main deeds in the Taiping Army are to manage the "women's camp." "At the beginning of the Taiping uprising, everyone was allowed to bring their families with the camp. In order to facilitate management and action, at the suggestion of Hong Xuanjiao, all the female dependents were gathered together and a "women's camp" was established. Hong Xuanjiao is the commander. After arriving in Nanjing, the war was temporarily suspended, so the "women's battalion" was changed to the "women's pavilion", and Hong Xuanjiao was still in charge.

It is said that Hong Xuanjiao was bedridden when she was young, and she seemed to see an old man calling her in a daze, and said to her: "Ten years from now, there will be a person from the East who will teach you how to worship God, and you should be truly obedient." After Hong Xiuquan launched the Taiping Heaven Movement, Hong Xuanjiao decided that what she saw in her illness was God, and she had the ability to talk directly with God. At that time, there were only two people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who had such ability. One is the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan himself, who can "ascend to heaven"; One is Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, who can pass on the orders of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother.

Hong Xuanjiao wanted to become the third, so she also imitated Hong Xiuquan's method and ascended to heaven. Who would have thought that Hong Xuanjiao broke the political pattern of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by doing this, and neither the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan nor the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing recognized that Hong Xuanjiao had such an ability. Yang Xiuqing used "Heavenly Father to go down to earth" and severely scolded her for sixty boards, and the Heavenly King also specifically scolded Hong Xuanjiao for "not obeying the orders of heaven and talking nonsense." Since then, Hong Xuanjiao has been much more negative in politics, not as enthusiastic and simple as before.

But Hong Xuanjiao's political energy still exists, and she has a major relationship with the occurrence of the Tianjing Incident. Yang Xiuqing made outstanding contributions in the early stage of the development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and began to rely on his high merits, and finally the incident of "forcing the seal to live long live" occurred.

Hong Xuanjiao persuaded her brother Hong Xiuquan to get rid of Yang Xiuqing at that time. At first, Hong Xiuquan couldn't bear to start, and said: "I and he are good brothers who live and die together, and share weal and woe, how can I bear to do it?" Hong Xuanjiao said: "If God alone can't bear it, then everyone in Heaven will have to endure Yang Xiuqing's domineering." Hong Xiuquan was a little moved at this time, and secretly summoned Wei Changhui back to Tianjing, killed Yang Xiuqing, and burned down the Dongwang Mansion.
