Summary: The Qing court set up two large camps in the south and north of the Yangtze River, wanting to attack Tianjing City in the north and south, but disturbed the people before they succeeded; The barefoot immortal occupies Jinling and is busy building the palace, and he wants to enjoy the blessings before he gets the country, who cares about what happens tomorrow!

On the 10th day of the first month of the third year of Xianfeng, the Taiping army broke through the two cities of Wuchang and Hanyang in Hubei. There were thousands of civilian boats, hundreds of thousands of young women, and all those who did not want to be killed in the boats. As a result, the river water is red, and the blood does not disperse for a long time.

The Taiping Army was smooth sailing and high-spirited; The Qing armies of all walks of life were corrupt and incompetent, and they were defeated and retreated one after another.

Zhang Liangji, the governor of Huguang, led the army to retreat to four counties and one state, and Qi Shan, the minister of Qincha, and Qinglin, the governor of Hubei, each led men and horses to the junction of the two lakes. They were all so frightened that their hands trembled and they panicked, and they didn't dare to eat peacefully during the day, and they couldn't sleep soundly at night.

On the third day of Yue, the Taiping army suddenly abandoned Wuchang and Hanyang, went down the river, mighty and mighty, covered the river with banners, and broke through the city of Jiujiang in Anhui on the 11th. and three thousand strong, and more than seven hundred beautiful women. Gold, silver, grain and grass are even more numerous. The momentum of the Taiping army became more and more powerful, and the Qing troops from all walks of life did not dare to fight. On the 17th, the Taiping army broke Anqing, the capital of Anhui Province; On the 10th day of February, the Taiping army finally occupied Jinling, the provincial capital of Jiangning, as planned. In the battle, General Jiangning was hereditarily loyal and brave and Gongxianghou died in battle, and Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, committed suicide.

After the Taiping army fully occupied Jinling, God Hong promulgated the Heavenly Decree the next day: the edict changed Jinling to Tianjing, and set Tianjing as the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Subsequently, he ordered Lin Fengxiang, deputy prime minister of Tianguan, Li Kaifang, prime minister of the local government, and the governors to lead the heavenly soldiers and generals of the department to set out from Yangzhou to Pukou to meet with Ji Wenyuan and Zhu Xikun, and take Anhui directly to distinguish the offensive of the army. In fact, it was also to divert the attention of the Qing army and reduce the pressure on Tianjing itself.

After Xianfeng got the report, he was stunned and fell to the ground.

After Xianfeng woke up, he immediately summoned Su Shun and other close ministers into the palace.

In front of Su Shun and others, Xianfeng, who was in a lot of chaos, jumped and jumped, scolded and howled, without any regard for his dignity in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, and was no different from the gangsters in the market.

Except for Su Shun, who was slightly calmed, the other ministers were all trembling with fright, and kowtowed all over the place.

On the same day, the holy decree was transmitted: the minister of the Qin Mission, Xiang Rong, the governor of Jinling, with about 100,000 people, was stationed in Xiaolingwei, which was the camp in the south of the Yangtze River and recovered Jinling at any time; The governor of Hubei, the governor of Qishan, the governor of Hubei, and the men and horses from all walks of life in the north were also more than 100,000, quickly aided Yangzhou and stationed on the spot, and camped in the north of the Jiangbei region, together with Xiang Rong and others, to besiege the Taiping army that occupied Jinling, and to recover the opportunity. At the same time, let the military aircraft department order all provinces, day and night, to step up the delivery of salaries and grain to the two large battalions in Jiangnan and Jiangbei, which are about to be built, and those who dare to slack off will be killed!

At this time, Xianfeng put all his energy and resources into Xiang Qincha and Qi Qincha.

Xiang Rong is not an idle person, he is a well-known and often defeated general since the rise of the Qing Dynasty.

Xiang Rong was born in the ninth year of Zeng Guofan, a native of Daning, Sichuan, and was born in Guyuan. The word is happy, and he was born in martial arts. After joining the army, he followed the army to suppress the uprising of Li Wencheng in Huaxian County, Henan. Later, he was promoted to the chief soldier and the named commander. In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, he served as the governor of Sichuan. In March of the thirtieth year, he was transferred to the governor of Hunan to suppress Li Yuanfa's uprising. In September of that year, he was the governor of Guangxi. In February of the first year of Xianfeng, Hong Xiuquan raised the flag and led the army to Guiping to fight against it. Defeated, fleeing like flying. He ordered to pursue and suppress the Taiping army, and the overseer army chased the Taiping army to Wuxuan and Xiangzhou. The Taiping Army ignored it. Xiang Rong thought that the Taiping Army was afraid of him, and began to let go of his pace. Unexpectedly, the Taiping army marched to a dense forest and hidden, and when he arrived, he suddenly fired artillery to kill. Xiang Rong led the army to run wildly again, and the Taiping army couldn't catch up no matter what. The Taiping army stopped and continued to advance. Xiang Rong didn't dare to slack off, and immediately raised the army and chased after him, as if he was escorting the Taiping army. The East King Yang was so angry that he came up with a thousand tricks and tricks, but he couldn't get rid of him; God Hong even hung the words "to the demon head" on his lips all day long, but he couldn't help it. In the past few years, wherever the Taiping army fought, Xiang Rong followed. Although he fought with the Taiping Army countless times during this period, almost escaped in defeat every time, and was dismissed by the imperial court twice because of this, he was unharmed and his body was very good.

Someone asked Xianfeng to send a capable person to replace Xiang Rong several times, but Xianfeng insisted on not allowing it, and he also had a strong remark and praised the person who folded up: "Xiang Rong is a capable person!" You see, he is the only one who can exterminate the Cantonese bandits for me in the future! He has fought so many vicious battles, and the Cantonese bandits can't help him in the slightest, how capable is this! ”

After Xianfeng said this, he rewarded Rong Qin with the rank of minister and specialized in military affairs.

Holding the holy decree, Xiang Rong himself couldn't believe that it was true. For many days, Xiang Rong either slapped his mouth or pinched his thighs fiercely, fearing that he was dreaming.

A few days after the decree was issued, people from all walks of life in the north began to march towards Yangzhou under the order. But Qi Shan did not dare to act rashly. The people from all walks of life in the north who were heading for Yangzhou began to do their own thing. Looting villages, forcibly looting people's money and food, raping and ruining people's daughters, and so on, there were more than a dozen cases a day. The magistrate sent a fast horse to report the news to the capital.

Jingshi was a sensation, and there was a lot of discussion for a while. Xianfeng was shocked when he heard the news.

Soon, the holy decree was sent to the hands of Qishan by 800 fast horses: there was a decree before, and the governor of Qishan from all walks of life in the north should quickly aid Yangzhou and station on the spot. etc. Now that people from all walks of life have galloped to Yangzhou, Qi Shan, as the minister of the Qincha, thinks that he has been on the journey for many days, where is he going? How many days do you have to arrive? Write a real report. Chin this.

Within a few days, another piece of holy edict was handed to Qi Shan, the governor of Hubei, Qinglin, the governor of Hubei, and Jiang Zhongyuan, the assistant commander of the Chu army in charge of Hubei military affairs. The decree ordered Zhang Liangji, the governor of Huguang, together with the governors Qinglin, Zhen Sijiang Zhongyuan, and others, to restore Wuchang as soon as possible, without hesitation.

Jiang Zhongyuan, who was born in the first list and started by relying on regimental training, officially entered the ranks of the three constitutions of one province.

The so-called three constitutions refer to the governors, political envoys, and procurators of a province. In a province, the governor is in charge of the general, and the political envoy (the full name is: Cheng Xuan Political Envoy Sibu Political Envoy) is in charge of the province's financial endowment, local official performance appraisal and other matters, and the procurator (full name: the procurator is the procurator of the procuratorial department) is responsible for the province's criminal cases and the discipline of the supervision officials, and is the highest official of judicial affairs in a province.

In the Qing Dynasty, the governor, the political envoy, and the inspection envoy were collectively called the three constitutions of a province.

What was God Hong doing after he occupied Jinling? He was in the imperial tour of the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, the Northern King Wei Changhui, and the Wing King Shi Dakai to play this chapter on the mandate of heaven.

The title of this chapter is: Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, asks Xinggong to build the palace of the Celestial Empire.

This chapter says: "The younger brother Yang Xiuqing stood in His Majesty and the younger brothers Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai knelt in His Majesty, playing to build the palace of the Celestial Empire, and played the Ming Thing in advance: the younger brother and others were ordered to recruit carpenters and masons to build the palace of the Celestial Empire. Today, by the grace of the Heavenly Father, Zhang Chaojue, the fourth inspector on the right side of the hall, returned the craftsmen from Anhui to make brothers, and the younger brother planned to lead the craftsmen to serve in the court after the extension of the guard, or the inner palace first, or the forest garden after repairing, waiting for the second brother to illuminate, so that the younger brother could transfer the official to follow the order. For this reason, this chapter is set to start the implementation of the Imperial Decree of our Lord. ”

Before he finished reading this chapter, God Hong was already too excited to help himself. The occupation of Jinling, the provincial capital of Jiangning, heralded that his dream of becoming emperor was about to come true. He will have a gorgeous palace on par with the emperor of the Great Qing Dynasty, and he will have four palaces and seven courtyards, and five thousand beauties will be distributed! (The ancient emperor was three palaces and six courts, and three thousand favors, and God Hong must surpass them!) ）

He wiped away his tears, and put pen to paper on this chapter with a trembling hand, "Imperial Zhao: Tomorrow will be carved to work." Chin this. ”

Sending the female officer away from this chapter, Hong Tianwang soon became immersed in his own fantasies again. When Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, walked in and wanted to talk to him about things, not only did he not notice it, but he was still smiling beautifully, like a fool.

Yang Xiuqing smiled and said, "Little brother is here to give-"

Hung was startled, thinking that the Assassin had arrived; Yang Xiuqing hurriedly closed her mouth and swallowed what she was about to say back into her stomach.

God Hong looked at Yang Xiuqing in a daze.

Yang Xiuqing couldn't be looked down upon, so she had to say: "Little brother retires." ”

Looking at Yang Xiuqing's back, God Hong was at a loss at first, then reflected, and finally woke up.

"This jumping foot god and charcoal burner, he probably doesn't want to live in a thatched hut anymore." God Hong thought so.

In order to let his brothers, who share weal and woe, also have some holy grace, and stay away from the thatched huts, he then issued a heavenly rule to "build the palaces of kings and kings".

After Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai and others received the order, they were really happy. Jinling, the ancient capital of several dynasties, began to build a large number of palaces one after another.

Soon after, God Hong had a whimsical idea and issued an edict to "change the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to God's Heavenly Kingdom."

The edict said: "I know it before: my brother and I sit in heaven, the heavenly kingdom is peaceful and the sky is raised, the heavenly kingdom is the head, and the Taiping dominates the mountains and rivers; Now changed to the Kingdom of God, the whole world is one and the father and the emperor, since now the seal is re-engraved, the Kingdom of God is glorious, the jade seal is changed to the Kingdom of God, and each seal is engraved with the top of the Lord. I will go to heaven and earth tomorrow, and God the Father will be the only one, and this will open up the greatest outline. I now ponder that God and Christ have descended to bring me and become the lord of the Celestial Empire, although the Lord is the father of the Taiping Emperor and the brother of the Taiping Lord, in the end, the Lord is the sole respect, all respect God, and change the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the Heavenly Kingdom of God, which is more in line with the truth. From now on, the four characters of 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom' in the jade seal have been changed to 'God Heavenly Kingdom'; all the Heavenly Dynasty has engraved the cross crown of 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Heavenly Dynasty Nine Gates Royal Forest' before the title of the title, and it has been re-engraved 'God Heavenly Kingdom Heavenly Kingdom Nine Gates Royal Forest'; all edicts have the four characters of 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom', and they have changed to 'God Heavenly Kingdom', so that the outline of filial piety and respect for the Lord is always the same, and the whole family belongs to the elder brother, and the world is both in the world, and the world will always be in harmony with the endless. Greatly. ”

Less than two days after this edict was issued, God Hong issued another "edict of polygamy".

God Hong stipulated in the "Edict of Polygamy" that the inhabitants of the Kingdom of Heaven and the people overseas are all proud of polygamy, "the king of the east and the king of the west each marry eleven people, the king of the south to the king of Yu each marry six people, three high-ranking officials, two middle-level people, and one low-level person." God Hong himself could have women "eighty-eight."

This edict was issued, and Yang Xiuqing was the first to express his dissatisfaction behind the people: "Fuck the eggs!" He now sleeps with more than eighty-eight aunts in one night! ”

On the day of the completion of the Dongwang Mansion, Yang Xiuqing selected more than 400 young and beautiful women from the plundered women to be included in the mansion, which was always used by himself to vent his desires.

Not to be outdone, the other kings sent people to the occupied areas to select beautiful women.

On the premise that no fundamental victory has been achieved, the princes of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have begun to enjoy the fruits of victory. At this time, God Hong had no intention of inquiring about the battle situation of the former enemy, changing the name of the country today, issuing an edict tomorrow, doing whatever he wanted, and there was no rule at all; I was so busy all day that I was sweating, my back was sore and my legs hurt, and I had to be served by more than 20 beautiful women every night to fall asleep.
