"Nearly loyal? Is it a loyal king? "
Tianguifu Hong asked.
Hong Xiu nodded. This sentence can be understood in this way. This is why he just agreed that Li Xiucheng didn’t kill those foreigners. He felt that this was the reason why the heavenly father warned him to tell Li Xiucheng to trust Li Xiucheng.
Although he made Li Xiucheng a loyal king, he never actually believed that he made Li Xiucheng a loyal king because he made Hong Rengan dissatisfied with the officers at that time, so he remedied and sealed Chen Yucheng, who had the highest prestige in the army. However, after sealing Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng’s hand was clamoring, and the Qing Dynasty’s baron tried to win over Li Xiucheng and said that Li Xiucheng had collusion with Xiang, so he sealed Li Xiucheng, and the name loyal king was to hope that his loyalty would also block others’ mouths and tell others that loyal king was loyal.
After that, even though Li Xiucheng rescued him again and again, he still didn’t believe that Li Xiucheng, especially the Xiang army, had hit Tianjing, but Li Xiucheng had more than 200,000 troops attacking the sea. At that time, he was furious and scolded Li Xiucheng for threatening him with "intention".
He also made Li Xiucheng king, that is, dividing his power. Li Xiucheng told him not to leave the city, and he didn’t leave. He was afraid that he would be framed as soon as he left the capital. He didn’t dare to leave the city, as if he could control everything here, but he couldn’t control anything, including his fate.
Now, the heavenly father makes him think that Li Xiucheng did make a mistake before, and he was too suspicious. The loyal king still deserves to be believed. At least when he died, the loyal king behaved loyally, and at most, he let his son succeed him without usurping actions.
Now Hongxiu feels that he can try to rest assured that Li Xiucheng can consider a breakthrough.
Thought of here, he summoned Li Xiucheng.
At this time, Li Xiucheng didn’t insist on breaking through and told Hongxiu that Tianjingwei had solved the problem. The emperor of the great powers personally led troops from the Yangtze River to get through with Tianjinglian. Now they have shipped 100,000 loads of rations, although they can’t guarantee enough, but they can solve the urgent need, and the other party also promised that they can send as much food as they want, so there is no need to break through. Instead, they should actively train and completely resolve Tianjingwei with the army.
He is not too clear about Hongxiu’s knowledge of the army, and his son is not too concerned. This tells him that a great emperor has come and brought food outside the city, and his son is also vague.
Now, listening to Li Xiucheng, it seems that there are still many soldiers who should have a fighting force
After consulting with Li Xiucheng, he encouraged Li Xiucheng to do things at ease, saying that he was generous in raising him at such a time.
The reward came soon. The next day, Hongxiu summoned all the kings to discuss the matter and announced it in the court.
"Loyalty to the king and loyalty to the country is really the kingdom of heaven, and the father ordered the loyal king to rule the kings at the age of nine!"
As soon as this award was announced, they didn’t react. Li Xiucheng immediately knelt on the ground and repeatedly kowtowed to ask Hongxiu to take it back. He knew too well that Yang Xiuqing was sealed at the age of nine and then played. Since ancient times, there has never been a good game for a nine-year-old
Hongxiu walked in the dragon chair and helped him to comfort him. "Don’t worry about being loyal to the king. This is the will of the heavenly father. I will be punished by the heavenly father this time.’ Loyalty becomes abandonment and defeat’ I dare not disobey the orders of the kings to serve the loyal king, that is, I must not violate it."
Worship of all kings
After Hong Xiu said, everything was asked by Zhong Wang to handle Zhong Wang’s indecision, and he asked for instructions.
In fact, Hong Xiu didn’t take care of things in the past, and he hid in the palace every day when he entered Tianjing City. But he has ten concubines. The big princess is still an angel. He said that the heavenly father gave him an angel, but no one can see the mundane.
Because no one has ever seen him, Zeng Guofan’s roots in Hong Xiu were gone for a long time. Everything was Yang Xiuqing’s roots in Hong Xiu’s guise, and Yang Xiuqing’s roots were a trick of playing tricks.
Xiang intelligence is not wrong, because before Tianjing changed, Yang Xiuqing monopolized all the political and military forces, and all the gods grasped who was disobedient. The heavenly father taught Hongxiu a lesson in a row, and he couldn’t watch it because of the abuse of the princess. He also "every" once beat Hongxiu’s ass.
It is said that before the Tianjing Incident, Yang Xiuqing was very helpful to "Heavenly Father Fan" in asking Hongxiu to make him live forever. According to some records, one day, Yang Xiuqing Fan handed Hongxiu over to the Heavenly Father and asked, "King Erdong has made great contributions to our East King, so he is only nine years old?" Hong Xiu replied, "Long live the East King’s conquest of the country."
Therefore, the historians argue that it was because of Yang Xiuqing’s forced seal, Long Live, that Hong Xiu moved to kill the heart secretly, and Wei Changhui and others destroyed the East King. Then Wei Changhui and others were not willing to kill Hong Xiu one by one, and Shi Da led troops back to save Wei Changhui and others. This is the famous Tianjing Incident.
It is precisely because of the Tianjing Incident that a large number of veterans of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were killed that Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng sprang up.
But now that Li Xiucheng has been sealed at the age of nine, the fact that he is told to control the kings is equivalent to letting him replace the status of Yang Xiuqing in the past, which makes Li Xiucheng feel worried.
But Hongxiu has been under the guise or it does happen. Anyway, Li Xiucheng can’t tell clearly. He remembers Hongxiu waking up at that time and really reading a sentence, which seems to be that "loyalty becomes loyalty, and abandoning loyalty leads to defeat". This sentence is not a reference to his Li Xiucheng. This makes him wonder if it is really the heavenly father who made him accept this big thing.
To say that Li Xiucheng had a grain of salt about Hongxiu before, at this time, he had already believed that Hongxiu was really the father’s son. Isn’t that what emperors do? It’s all days? There is no culture in Li Xiucheng. Otherwise, it would be impossible to follow Hongxiu all the way from Guangxi to Tianjing.
He is now in control, although he is a little scared, but he can still control the scene. After all, the army base in Tianjing City is all other departments, including those princes, and most of them are not jealous because he is nine years old. Therefore, unlike Yang Xiuqing, he has greater control over the army, and absolutely no general will want to kill him, even outside the city, because the most powerful prince outside the city is Li Shixian and Li Shixian is his cousin in Li Xiucheng.
Thinking about thinking about Li Xiucheng, I feel that I am not so dangerous, and I have a different feeling about being in control.
At present, it is urgent to lift the Tianjing siege and then discuss the forces with the Taiping rebels in Jiangxi and Zhejiang. There are still hundreds of thousands of Taiping rebels in the periphery, and hundreds of thousands of people in Li Shixian are only allowed to eat in Jiangxi because of insufficient rations.
Joining these troops from the inside will definitely break the blockade of Xiang in one fell swoop. Of course, it is also very important to have a large army outside the city, especially their navy division, Li Xiucheng, to discuss with Zhu Jinglun for the time being.
Section three hundred and fifty-five Back to Guangdong
"Congratulations to Zhong Wang, who is nine years old!"
The news that Hong Xiufeng Li Xiucheng was nine years old was announced in the city at the first time. Zhu Jinglun had received the news, and the first sentence when he met Li Xiucheng was congratulations.
Li Xiucheng can still remain shocked. For him, these hollow names are not important, far less than the real benefits.
"Don’t dare to be respectful before you."
Li Xiucheng polite way
Then he talked about his purpose. He hoped that the army would cooperate with the Taiping rebels to break through, and did not ask the army to die with Xiang. Li Xiucheng knew this very well. He felt that it was unrealistic to expect people to help himself. At that time, he sent letters to Zhu Jinglun. It was at the most critical moment that he was ill and rushed to the hospital, and he did not just invest in Zhu Jinglun. In fact, he also invested in Jiangbei Twist Army.
Zhu Jinglun is here to save these crazy people and expect them to stall Xiang. Of course, he says he is here to share the sky with Hong Xiuping.
You can’t easily promise not to get some benefits.
"Now that the heavenly king has been able to govern, shouldn’t he talk to me about splitting the sky equally?"
This stubble Li Xiucheng embarrassed again.
Hongxiu is now hiding in the deep palace, not to mention talking to Zhu Jinglun about big things. I’m afraid it’s impossible to meet unless Zhu Jinglun is willing to bow down to Hongxiu, but it’s obviously impossible. He dare not ask for this, but instead of forming an alliance, he should be ready to fight a force.
So the excuse said, "As the old saying goes, it is the king of Yi Long and the real dragon who should not meet each other."
Zhu Jinglun was quite unhappy. "It’s just that you are not sincere when you believe in foreign religions."
Li Xiucheng emphasized that "we are not believers in foreign religions but worshippers."
Zhu Jinglun sighed, "You want to share the sky with me, but I’m here and you don’t even talk about it. It doesn’t make sense."
Li Xiucheng also knows that he is indefensible. Let’s not talk about this matter for the time being and talk about the military.
"At present, it is too early for the Xiang army to talk about dividing the land."
Zhu Jinglun is very resistant. "Okay, okay, you can’t help me if you want to fight Xiang."
Li Xiucheng said, "You don’t need an army to go to war, you need a warship to send my heavenly soldiers behind Xiang."
Zhu Jinglun hummed, "Just give it to the boat."
In this way, the military business was negotiated, but Li Xiucheng thought it was quite cost-effective. A soldier wanted 12 taels of silver. He planned to send 30,000 elite troops to attack the Xiang army from the rear of the Xiang army. It was only 302,000 taels of silver. He has been operating in Jiangsu and Zhejiang for three years, but it is the best silk producing area in the world. Huzhou white silk is two or three times less expensive than raw silk in other places. He still has a lot of money in his hand.
He even bought 30,000 muskets from foreigners through smuggling. The Taiping rebels were more powerful than Xiang. Unfortunately, those muskets have been damaged a lot now. He suddenly remembered that Zhu Jinglun had many muskets in his army and went out to buy a batch of guns.
Zhu Jinglun also agreed painfully.
Li Xiucheng understood that the so-called great emperor was a money addict who would do anything to give money, but it was simple. Just like foreigners, he had a lot of affection for Zhu Jinglun when he got money.
After some bargaining, I sold 30,000 rifles to Li Xiucheng at a price of 220. Now Manager Hu has more than enough rifles in the army, because he just brought back 200,000 rifles from England, and more than one rifle can’t be equipped.
There are 30,000 elites attacking the city from behind. Zhu Jinglun believes that it should be sure to deal with Xiang, who has been besieged for three years and exhausted. He also has no time to wait for the result here. Let Li Xiucheng directly discuss with Chen Ada that he intends to return to Guangdong.
Zhu Jinglun doesn’t intend to let his troops into the city. They are fine now. Where have they built rows of barracks, prepared sufficient supplies, built strong positions and batteries, and wedged a nail in Yanji behind the Xiang army. If the Xiang army intends to attack Yanji, it can coordinate. In addition, the Taiping city wall artillery can also hit the Xiang army to attack here. It is estimated that it is impossible for Ceng Guoquan to risk such a war.
