Xiao Yungui had some thoughts when choosing a site for Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and others to be the royal palace. In addition to flattering, he kept the best place in Nanjing City to show that Xiao Yungui had no selfish intentions. There was also Hong Yuner's proposal. The Four-Eyed Girl's idea was very simple. She completely suggested that Xiao Yungui choose several sites for the princes of the Heavenly Kingdom to choose from according to the ruins of each royal palace that were studied in history books. She hoped that these princes could choose the site of the royal palace at one time, and did not want to see the addresses of several princes in history relocating the palace several times.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom conquered Nanjing in history, several princes chose their favorite places to build a royal mansion, but after living for a while, they felt dissatisfied and moved several times. The Eastern Palace changed its territory three times, and the Yi Palace three times, etc. This approach not only cost the people the money, but also disturbed the people, leaving the people with a bad impression that the kings of the Heavenly Kingdom were busy building a royal mansion when they entered the flower world.

Xiao Yungui looked down on the idea of ​​the four-eyed girl. To put it bluntly, why did Hong Xiuquan and others rebel for life? Isn’t it for the word “wealth and honor”? Even if Hong Xiuquan and others did have a heart to save the people from water and fire when they rose up, they all had hopes. When they entered the colorful world of Nanjing, they would inevitably not have a sense of arrogance and luxury. It was like a fool to curb their inflated personal hope by just choosing the site of the royal palace. As expected, Hong Yuner was unexpected and even exceeded Xiao Yungui’s imagination...

In May, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom brigade entered Nanjing ten miles, the unprecedentedly lively atmosphere above the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties gradually began to dissipate, and the sultry sky was still full of sunshine. The rising sun of the summer warmly comforted this ancient city that had just been destroyed by the war. Against the backdrop of the golden sunshine in the morning, her majestic and continuous body seemed full of vicissitudes.

In front of the Confucius Temple Square in the west of the city, teams of Taiping soldiers with red scarves were lined up solemnly. Behind them were the people of Nanjing City, and they were staring at the demolished Confucius Temple. Many people were full of resentment and dissatisfaction. The official school of the Confucian Temple that the Western King had never demolished after entering the city was demolished by Hong Xiuquan. This was just one of the destroyed buildings. Compared with those destroyed temples, monks who were forced to return to secular life and persecuted, this was still good.

There were many women who had never left the gate of the world, and they began to appear in the crowd. There were many female generals and female soldiers in the Taiping Army. They were spreading everywhere that everyone was equal, and everyone was brothers and sisters. They encouraged the women in Nanjing to pull off their foot bindings and walk out of the house and join them. A small number of women who had big feet and were not very strict in tutoring were bold enough to start walking out of the house and come to this square. I heard that there was a good show today, but I don’t know what it was.

More and more people were watching, and they became accustomed to it. Since the fall of the city, the Taiping Army in the West Palace strongly suppressed the gangsters who took advantage of the fire in the city, and the city became peaceful. Then every three days, the Taiping Army gathered people in the squares in the city to listen to the gospel of Heavenly Father, but the time was not long. At first, the people were just curious and came to listen. However, they were not very interested in the poems and teachings of Heavenly Father that the main lecturer talked about. What they were interested in was that after each lecture, the Taiping Army in the West Palace would also describe the magnificent scene of everyone equality and everyone had food. After the Heavenly King entered Nanjing, there were gatherings for preaching doctrines, and there were more than one such gathering in the city.

Under the eaves of the corridor in front of the Confucius Temple, several red scarves guards raised huge covers. The case was placed and the seats were placed on thick cushions, as if some big shots were coming. The people had never seen the princes of the Taiping Army look like, but the rumors were all three-headed and six-armed figures.

The golden gong sounded, and as usual, the officials began to speak loudly. After reading the poems of Heavenly Father, the people basically forgot the previous sentence after listening to the next sentence. They talked for more than an hour, and they looked at the beginning of noon, and the officials were almost finished.

At this time, the giant gong sounded, and a team of soldiers with bright armored red scarves lined up outside the Confucius Temple. A big man in red scarves shouted loudly: "The fifth son of Heavenly Father, 6,000 years old, His Highness the Northern King will be here!" The soldiers present drank together: "Welcome to the Lord!"

Thousands of Taiping soldiers shouted in unison in the square, with the terrifying momentum. The timid among the people had already kneeled down. More people stretched their necks after hearing this, wanting to see what kind of person this Beiwang was. I saw a man with short beards and slightly white face, wearing a red robe and yellow turban, and was quite cold. He walked to the case in front of the Confucius Temple, and stood there.

The big man in red scarf beside him shouted loudly: "According to the two sons of Heavenly Father, nine thousand years old, His Highness the Eastern King, His Highness the Northern King personally supervised Wei Changguang, the Northern King's clan, and was sentenced to dismemberment of five horses!"

As soon as the words were finished, the people began to discuss. The muscles on the face of the Northern King Wei Changhui twitched, his face became even more depressed, and his face was very ugly.

I saw a man being escorted to the square by several Red Turban soldiers. After kneeling down, the Red Turban man began to read Wei Changguang's crime. At first, the people didn't know what official position the Northern King Guozong was. After listening carefully, the people who were a little bit like Wenmo understood. It turned out that Wei Changguang was Wei Changhui's brother, and the brothers and younger brothers of the princes in the Taiping Army were all called Guozong. After entering the city, Wei Changguang violated the etiquette of the uncle of the Eastern King, and violated the laws of heaven and was sentenced to death.

Whenever Wei Changhui heard the man say something, his face pulled out and felt extremely painful. In fact, the cause of the incident was that his brother had fallen in love with a property after entering the city. Unexpectedly, the eldest uncle of the Dongwang also fell in love with it. During the two of them, the Dongwang Yang Xiuqing knew. Unexpectedly, he threatened to kill Wei Changguang and let Wei Changhui take care of it himself. Thinking that he was respectful to Yang Xiuqing and obeyed him in everything, he had no choice but to think of such a small thing. Unexpectedly, Yang Xiuqing refused to plead high. Wei Changhui went to plead with mercy in person, but Yang Xiuqing sneered: "Brother Wei Zheng, now that he has entered the city, someone will not give me face to the Dongwang. How do you convince the public after you let me?" After several beggings, Yang Xiuqing actually ordered Wei Changguang to be dismembered to serve as a warning to others and also let him be sentenced to himself.

Wei Changhui could not have imagined that as the King of Northern and Southern Kings, he was dead, and the King of Western Kings led his troops outside, and under the King of Eastern Kings, he was the most powerful. Yang Xiuqing ignored his mercy and asked him to kill his brother. He was so heartless. For a moment, his whole body couldn't tremble, and the seeds of hatred began to sow.

The time was already coming, everyone looked at Wei Changhui, and saw that his beard was shaking on his lips, supporting the case with one hand, and swinging the other hand weakly, and said helplessly: "Please execute the execution."

Wei Changguang in the square had already eaten and drank enough. He was drunk and could be at the mercy of the soldiers. Five horses arrived, and the hemp rope wrapped around Wei Changguang's limbs and neck. The knights on the five horses rode their horses and whipped them and quickly rushed in five directions. A flash of blood, Wei Changguang was divided into five pieces, blood, meat, and internal organs. The timid people and women screamed in fear, and many people fainted.

Wei Changhui held his body tightly, watched the entire execution process coldly, and held the case tightly with his hands tightly, and his expression was depressed. He didn't know what he was thinking. However, the people and Taiping soldiers were all in awe. Even the Northern King's Guozong would be killed if he committed a crime, let alone the promotion of the small people. They all became even more awe of the laws of the Eastern King and the Taiping Army.

Although Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner arranged the site of the royal palace for several princes, they did not arrange it for the royal relatives. Besides, they could not arrange it. The princes had many relatives, so Xiao Yungui had no time to take care of these people, so he didn't have the time to take care of them.

So when the princes had a place to live, the royal relatives began to compete for other good places, and the brother-in-law of the Eastern King and the brother of the Northern King competed for the same place. In the end, the Eastern King guards and killed Wei Changhui's brother. This is just a microcosm of the struggle for power and profit in Nanjing. After entering Nanjing, the princes of the Heavenly Kingdom seemed to be keen on fighting for power and profit, building the royal palace, and leaving the matter of sending troops behind. Although they were very satisfied with the address chosen by Xiao Yungui, they felt that they did not have the momentum of the royal palace. Under the leadership of the Heavenly King, everyone broke ground and began to expand their respective royal palaces.

However, there are exceptions among them. The King of Wings Shi Dakai was not very keen on this. He was very satisfied with the place chosen by the King of the West. The King of the Yi Mansion is located in the Shangjiang Examination House in Xiaowangfu Lane in the west of the city. On the right side, it turned out that the house of the Taoist priest in Anhui in the Qing Dynasty and the private gardens of Xingkun, the student of Shangyuan, he originally planned to live in casually, but his father-in-law Huang Yukun and his adviser Zhang Suimu advised that everyone is expanding the palace from the King of Heaven. If the King of Wings does not follow the trend, they may be afraid of others. Now the King of the West is leading the army outside. If the King of Wings also wants to lead the army alone, he must keep a low profile and follow the flow.

Shi Dakai followed the advice of the two people and began to expand the palace in large numbers, just like the kings. Within ten months, the great army in the West Palace was frequently reported, and they conquered Wuxi and went to Changzhou, and surrounded the two states of Suzhou and Hangzhou. Recently, there were news that the Western King led his troops to attack Shanghai.

Shi Dakai, who was still young and energetic, could no longer sit still. He also wanted to lead troops to fight and make achievements, which was better than wasting Guangyin on these extravagant things. However, after Shi Dakai was killed by his brother Beiwang, he had always been cautious. Now he rashly proposed to send troops, and he was also worried that he would be suspicious.

So Shi Dakai found Huang Yukun, Zhang Suimu and others to discuss, and the counselors of the Yidian gave Shi Da an idea, which was to use the insufficient money and food in the General Saint Cutle to remind the Heavenly King, the East King, that it was time to send troops.

Since Jintian started the army, Shi Dakai has always been in charge of the General Sacred Cut of the Kingdom of Heaven. When he went from Changsha to Nanjing, the West Palace handed over a lot of money and grain. With the original money and grain from the General Sacred Cut and the offerings of hundreds of thousands of people, the General Sacred Cut had a total of more than 10 million taels of silver. However, the more than one million people in Nanjing have all relied on the General Sacred Cut for food. In addition, the recent princes have built a large construction, and the total amount of silver in the General Sacred Cut has not been in. Now there are only more than 6 million taels left.

Food is becoming increasingly scarce. Although the West Palace transported some money and grain from Wuxi and other places, and some money and grain transported from various places, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied a limited area, and in total, only hundreds of thousands of taels were recorded in a few months, which was like a drop in the bucket. The Taiping Army in Nanjing City was time to consider sending troops to attack some grain-producing places. The strategists of the Yidian believed that it was time to propose military affairs at this moment. (To be continued. Mobile phone users please read it.)
