Chapter 238 Kill Xiang Jingshi

When the capital, the capital and other parts of the country were shocked by Hong Tiangui's behavior, Shen Ye was already near Tianjing at this time, announcing to the world that the Taiping army from all over the country was going to gather.

Hong Tiangui's name as the Young Heavenly King is really orthodox enough, coupled with his deeds of killing Zeng Guofan, it is very popular, and it didn't take long for more and more Taiping troops to gather in the nearby villages outside Tianjing City.

At the beginning, the Qing soldiers occupying Tianjing City dared to come out to provoke, but as more and more Taiping troops gathered, these Qing soldiers in Tianjing City did not dare to come out again after all, and even under the fear of some officials, there were already signs of fleeing when they saw that the situation was wrong.

In a small village outside Tianjing City.

There are not many people in this small village on weekdays, but today it is a gathering of tens of thousands of soldiers, these people are all Taiping Army, after being dispersed, everyone is a group of dragons without a leader, but since the young king stood up, they suddenly only Hong Tiangui Ma is the first to look forward to it, and become their leader!

On this day, as more and more Taiping troops gathered, in a private house, a group of generals were discussing their next plans.

“... Personally, I think that with the strength of the Young Heavenly King, return to Jintian, lurk for a few more years, and develop and expand our army, then, we will definitely be able to fight against the Qing army in the future!"

One of the generals spoke eloquently, and he advocated a temporary retreat and a return to Taoguang to recuperate.

Another general shook his head and said: "Go back to Jintian, Tianjing City will be very good, these days, everyone has also seen it, the Qing soldiers don't dare to come over at all, let's go back directly, it's good to reoccupy it, there is a young king here, who dares to come again?"

"It makes sense, but in the end, it still depends on the plan of the young king. At this time, Li Yucheng stood up, and his eyes fell on Shen Ye, who didn't speak much.

As soon as these words came out, everyone quieted down, and all eyes were on Shen Ye, in their eyes, only Shen Ye's words were the golden rule, no matter what he decided, everyone naturally supported it together.

However, what shocked everyone was that Shen Ye directly said a few words indifferently: "Kill the Jingshi." ”

"What!"

Everyone looked at each other.

Before, everyone was still talking about a temporary retreat, or staying in Tianjing City, but no matter what was discussed, no one discussed directly overthrowing the Qing court, after all, this idea was too terrifying.

"This ......," the general who advocated a temporary retreat did not know what to say.

Even Li Yucheng didn't know how to answer for a while: "Young Heavenly King, now our vitality is greatly damaged, although the army has some morale, but it is not the opponent of the Qing court after all, we will go, will it be too rash?"

"Yes, the Manchurian has cleared Zeng Guofan, and there are many other masters, with hundreds of years of heritage, plus the support of foreigners, I'm afraid that we are not people's opponents. All the generals said so.

"There's nothing to worry about, no matter how many masters they have, they are no match for me. Shen Ye shook his head and said, "The target has ruled Huaxia for many years, it's time for them to give way." ”

"This, this is okay, I'll follow the Young Heavenly King!"

Li Yucheng saw that Shen Ye had made up his mind, and after thinking about it, he could only clench his fists violently and show his obedience to Shen Ye, while the rest of the generals saw this, and immediately knelt down and expressed their approval.

......

When Shen Ye waved his army north and prepared to march into the Beijing Division, the Qing soldiers in Tianjing City directly broke and fled, and Shen Ye's attempt to kill the Beijing Division was like a hurricane, which filled the entire China in an instant.

In the largest tavern in the capital, countless people were discussing the Taiping army heading north, full of horror.

“...... Since the Taiping army had Hong Tiangui, not only did it not retreat, but also did not occupy Tianjing Chen, but went directly north to kill our capital!"

Someone gossiped and said, his face was full of sorrow, he had a huge property in the capital, and once the war broke out, his wealth would be ruined, so he was naturally very worried.

A young man who looked a little thin, who seemed to be a weak scholar who was full of poetry and books, saw the panicked appearance of the people, and couldn't help but snort coldly: "The capital was originally the world of the Han people, but now it has been enslaved by the Tartars for so many years, have you forgotten? I think it is a good thing that the Taiping army has come over! Maybe we can recover our Han people." ”

"You, you are the words of the Zhu clan, be cautious, be cautious!" an old man pointed to the weak scholar and said tremblingly.

"Hmph. The weak scholar snorted coldly, but he didn't dare to say any more, but lowered his head and continued to drink, as if he was venting his inner depression.

At this time, a middle-aged man said calmly: "Although the Taiping Army is our Han Chinese, it is not so easy for them to fight, not that whoever we support, who can win." ”

"Why can't you fight? I didn't expect Zeng Guofan to die in the hands of that Hong Tiangui?" someone said questioningly.

The weak scholar also nodded and spoke again: "That is, even Zeng Guofan, who is the number one in the world, is dead, I think, there is no one in the court who is Hong Tiangui's opponent." ”

"This is not necessarily, the Manchu Qing Dynasty can occupy the Central Plains for so long, standing for so many years without falling, it is definitely a foundation. ”

The middle-aged man shook his head and said, "Let's not talk about the background that we don't know in the Manchu court, let's talk about the foreigners, which one is a vegetarian? Among them, there are also peerless masters, we don't know!"

"Yes, in this capital, there are embassies of Western countries, once the Taiping army fights, not only the Qing court will take action to suppress it, but even the embassies will send experts to suppress it. ”

Some people nodded in agreement.

The weak scholar said with disdain: "In the embassy, what are the masters? As far as I know, those so-called masters are not Zeng Guofan's opponents, and now that Zeng Guofan is dead, I think those foreigners are at most deterrent, as for doing it? Hehe, they cherish their feathers very much." ”

"This is also said, foreigners have always been grass on the wall, maybe as soon as the Taiping army comes in, the embassy will remain silent, and even once the situation is clear, they may not support the Taiping army!"

Someone nodded in agreement and said, thinking that the Taiping Army might rise against the trend.

"That's impossible, the foreigners suppressed the Taiping Army, the Taiping Army absolutely holds a grudge, how can they support each other regardless of their previous suspicions?"

In the tavern, the voices of discussion came and went, and everyone was fighting for it.
