Yang Xiuqing's words seemed as unquestionable as usual. When he looked at Xiao Yungui with a sharp look, Xiao Yungui didn't know where he got the courage, and gritted his teeth and said, "There is someone who deserves the crime of killing, but it is not enough to kill an unarmed person!" After that, he turned his head and walked out of the tent.

Yang Xiuqing was slightly stunned. He had never seen Xiao Chaogui confront him like this. In the past, Xiao Chaogui always listened to his Yang Xiuqing's ideas. Why did he become like this today? While he was stunned, Xiao Yungui had already brushed his sleeves away. Looking at the shaking curtain, Yang Xiuqing's face slowly became gloomy.

After walking out of the tent, Xiao Yungui took a deep breath. Not far away, Hong Yuner stood under the Xinghuang flag holding her hands and looked at him and laughed. Xiao Yungui walked up to him with a look of discomfort and asked, "What are you laughing at?"

Hong Yuner still said with a smile: "Just now, Li Kaifang came out and said that the King of the East mentioned that the soldiers and horses in the West Hall were going to kill the flagmen. It seems that you are unwilling to do so, so the King of the East left you to discuss the matter separately. What? Does he still have to do it?"

Xiao Yungui nodded with a gloomy face and said, "Yes, is it true that he really needs to stop killing?"

Hong Yuner shook her head slowly and said, "There is no absolute right or wrong in the world. It's like the Qin Emperor unified the country. For the people of the six countries, he was a tyrant who killed countless people, but for later generations of China, what he did at that time seemed to be the trend of the general trend. In extraordinary times, extraordinary methods cannot be judged by the time."

Xiao Yungui said in confusion: "Are you supporting the murder? Go and kill those unarmed elderly, weak, women and children?"

Hong Yuner bit her red lips and said: "The bannermen now enjoy privileges that are not as good as Han people and other tribes. For example, Han people in the Qing Dynasty basically had to pass the imperial examination for admission. This practice is beyond refutation, but on the contrary, the Manchus in the Qing Dynasty had no such restrictions. They can be used through various channels, such as schools, recommendations, discussions, donations, hereditary, Yinzi, translations, imperial examinations, etc., which are all in one place. For example, officials in the Qing Dynasty had a shortage of officials, which were divided into full, Mongolian, Han army, and Han. In principle, the lack of officials was borne by the tribe.

In fact, if the Han people are in short supply, the Banners can certainly be held. After the Eight Banners entered the pass, they occupied land and forced the Han people to be slaves. The children of the Eight Banners could not afford food and could be supported by the court. To put it bluntly, the Banners in the world were all supported by the Han people. The Manchus in the late Qing Dynasty said that all Han people paid taxes, and Banners took the quota of soldiers to collect money and ceremonies, and there were people who shared profits, but no one who had no life and profit. This is a true portrayal of this kind of crime. Even the Banners committed special laws than the Han people, and all these were the unique powers of the Qing Banners."

"A bannerman is born with a banner and can enjoy various privileges. Marx once said, "Hehe, maybe I haven't said it yet, but in short, he said that people have social attributes. People are not ** individuals, they are part of the group they are in. So if the group you are in is guilty, maybe you have not done anything, but you are guilty. The fact is that, you cannot change it. This is probably what we have heard of in the future." Hong Yuner continued softly: "Those old, weak, women and children are really nothing to you and me.

What a crime, but in the eyes of the Taiping Army, they are bannermen, privileged class, and people who eat the flesh and blood of the people, so they can only die now. Perhaps one day, the bannermen can give up their privileges and just like other tribesmen, the Taiping Army will put down the knife in their hands. To put it bluntly, what we want to deprive them of their privileges, and they are bannermen who will definitely not be willing to lose their interests. No matter where they go, they will be enemies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so it is their identity as the bannermen that killed themselves. Do you understand that?”

Hong Yun'er's mouth was constantly rumored as soon as she opened her mouth, but Xiao Yungui still understood what she meant, and at the same time understood the meaning of Yang Xiuqing's words just now. Perhaps his knowledge was limited, and his analysis was not as thorough as Hong Yun'er, but Yang Xiuqing was very clear in his heart. He has always had a fierce situation of fighting for power and interests. Unless the distribution of interests is balanced, the killing will stop. This is human nature. To put it bluntly, this killing has nothing to do with the righteousness of the tribe, but it is just because of interests.

Xiao Yungui pondered for a while before saying, "What should we do then? Do we still do it according to Yang Xiuqing's wishes?"

Hong Yuner frowned and said, "It's just that you must have contradicted Yang Xiuqing. If Yang Xiuqing has a general order later, you must not disobey it. If he really angers him, it would be awful if Heavenly Father descended to earth."

As soon as he finished speaking, the East Palace guards moved out of the tent, held the Eastern King's flag in hand, turned over and galloped into the city, and shouted while running: "At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the sacrifice flags on the banks of Xiangjiang River will be released, and the soldiers of the East Palace will kill the Qing Demon sacrifice flags!"

The generals of the East King were divided into various places, and soon all the soldiers of the West Palace in Miaogaofeng knew about it. Yang Xiuqing ordered the soldiers of the East Palace to kill the bannermen on the Xiangjiang River to go on the battle. Xiao Yungui secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't understand why Yang Xiuqing changed his mind. The soldiers of the East Palace took action by themselves. It was not that Yang Xiuqing had other plans.

Just as she was thinking anxiously, Yang Xiuqing walked out of the tent, and dozens of East Palace guards hurriedly led their horses to follow.

Xiao Yungui had no choice but to bite the bullet and greet him, and Hong Yuner hurriedly followed him to hear what he said.

When he got closer, Yang Xiuqing had already turned over and the horse. Xiao Yungui stepped forward with a little embarrassed look and said, "Fourth Brother, I..."

As soon as he spoke, Yang Xiuqing looked cold and whipped the horse and interrupted: "The team is about to go out. I don't want to spend time talking nonsense. You can immediately gather people and prepare to go to the bank of Xiangjiang River, and prepare to go to the battle with the army's flag!" After that, he also urged the horse to take the people and horses without looking back.

Xiao Yungui looked at Hong Yun'er in a glance, but the four-eyed girl touched her pretty chin and murmured thoughtfully: "Yang Xiuqing has always been a perfect person, straightforward, why did she change her mind today? Is he a cold outside and a hot inside? He is also concerned about Xiao Chaogui's brotherhood with him? No, when he was in Chenzhou, he seemed to be the one who wanted to kill you the most, and he really couldn't figure it out."

Xiao Yungui smiled secretly. He was afraid that Hong Yuner would be worried, so he hadn't told Hong Yuner that Yang Xiuqing actually wanted to remove her. Now she was not the time to speak. He smiled and said, "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it for the time being. Let's organize the troops and prepare to go out of the team first."

...

The killing finally began. When the banner people were tied into strings and moved to the border of the Xiangjiang River, they seemed to have known their destiny. The deafening howling and crying sounded unbearable.

The Xiangjiang River was dyed red, and the dense corpses flowed down the river, making people unable to bear to see more. But the Taiping Army burst into a loud cheer and shouting sound. Xiao Yungui felt that the shouting was so harsh, but he was powerless to change anything. It turned out that on the road of not returning to blood, in addition to the blood of his own people, there were also the blood of the enemy, and there were also a lot of innocent people's blood. He gradually realized that the change without blood was a dream. In this change, everyone needs to endure the pain brought by the change. In order to usher in the heaven in his heart, is this kind of effort worth it? Isn't it worth it? The team has gone far away, and Xiao Yungui is still thinking about this problem on the back of the horse. Hong Yun'er did not go out with the army, so no one told him, and he could only think about it himself.

There are three post roads leading from Changsha to Xiangtan County. From the west, we go to Taling, Mapoli, Shanshu Lane to Zhanyue Gate in Xiangtan; from Hutouling to the north gate of Xiangtan, Gongji Gate in Gongji Gate in Xiangtan; from Houfangping to the east gate of Xiangtan, Xichun Gate in Xichun Gate in Xiangtan.

To go west, you need to cross the Xiangjiang River. Xiao Yungui did not consider this route. The army was divided into three routes. Xiao Yungui led Ji Wenyuan, Zhu Xineng, two generals and more than 3,000 people to go to the lake and attack the north gate; Lin Fengxiang and Lin Qirong led more than 2,500 troops to the east, preparing to attack the east of Xiangtan City; Li Kaifang and Li Yiwen led more than 2,500 troops to support the rear team.

The Qing army guards in Xiangtan were Deng Shaoliang, who had been defeated before. In the battle of Jingtang Village, Deng Shaoliang's Qing army suffered heavy losses, leaving only more than 400 people. After retreating to Xiangtan, Deng Shaoliang had to recruit new recruits and call on local officials and gentry in Xiangtan to donate their salaries and set up a regiment training to assist the guards. After several hard work, the newly recruited soldiers and the original official army in Xiangtan only brought together a team of more than 1,000 people. In addition, more than 400 veterans in his army, a total of more than 1,500 Qing army.

Over the past few days, the Taiping Army in Chenzhou has been moving towards Changsha. Deng Shaoliang is trembling in the city, fearing that the Taiping Army will suddenly turn around and attack Xiangtan. With the strength in his hands, the Taiping Army will never be able to defeat the Taiping Army. Fortunately, the Taiping Army is eager to rush forward and will invade in the future, which makes Deng Shaoliang breathe a sigh of relief.

Recently, I received news that the vanguard of the Hengzhou official army brigade Zhang Guoliang's troops had arrived in Liling. Deng Shaoliang was born in the Green Camp military and looked down on Zhang Guoliang, a thief general who was born in the Tiandihui. Zhang Guoliang, whose first name was Jiaxiang, was named Dianchen, and was from Gaoyao, Guangdong (now Zhaoqing). He participated in the Tiandihui uprising in Guixian, Guangxi. He fought side by side with Luo Dagang, and worked in Hengzhou, Lingshan, Qinzhou, Pennzhou and other places. He even once fled to Vietnam to deal with the Qing army. In the 29th year of Daoguang in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Guoliang returned to Zhennan Pass and was recruited by Lao Chongguang, a clerk in Guangxi of the Qing army, and finally surrendered to the Qing army. Later, Zhang Guoliang returned to Xiang Rong's position as a garrison, and followed Xiang Rong to suppress bandits. He was familiar with the fighting style of bandits and bandits, with vicious means and the most fierce. By slaughtering his former comrades, Zhang Guoliang had been promoted to the position of general.

Deng Shaoliang has always despised Zhang Guoliang as a human being, and looked down on Zhang Guoliang's thief from a bandit, and even more so on the Qing army under Zhang Guoliang's troops who burned, killed, abducted, and plundered all the evils along the way. However, he forgot that Deng Shaoliang's subordinates also often did this. But at this time, Deng Shaoliang had to send someone to contact Zhang Guoliang, hoping that Zhang Guoliang's troops could move closer to Xiangtan.

Deng Shaoliang's messenger had only been away for a long time when he received news that the Taiping Army in Changsha was departing. Deng Shaoliang was shocked. He never expected that the Taiping Army would come so quickly, so he had to mobilize troops to prepare to defend the city. At the same time, eight messengers were sent to Zhang Guoliang for help.

Early that morning, in the early morning mist, Deng Shaoliang did not wait for reinforcements from Liling, but saw the apricot yellow flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom raised by the leader of the city north lake!
