After Zhu Changlin and others left, only Xiao Yungui and Zeng Shuiyuan were left in the hall. Looking at Zeng Shuiyuan's surprised expression, Xiao Yungui walked back and forth with his hands behind his back and forth, and said lightly: "It is better to use them than to kill these people. In the past, we killed all the big families and robbed them of the big families, but who would dare to be peaceful with us after the killing of the latter? Brother Zeng, you must understand that our rebellion will ultimately overthrow the Qing Dynasty and let the poor people in the world live a good life. Before overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and gaining the world, all the people we can use can be used. If we don't use these people, they will be used by the Qing demon. If this continues, our path will become narrower and narrower."

Zeng Shuiyuan was shocked. He recalled that since the Jintian started the army, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had always adopted a bandit-style combat method. After conquering a place, he took official warehouses, robbed wealthy families, killed bannermen, and used war to support the war, and attracted more people. Until now, tens of thousands of elite soldiers, in Zeng Shuiyuan's view, killing the rich and helping the poor is a natural thing. This is what he had to do when he launched a military campaign. But now, he heard Xiao Yungui say this, and he couldn't help but feel a little confused.

Seeing Zeng Shuiyuan's solemn look on his face, Xiao Yungui knew that he was starting to shake, and laughed in his heart. He then shot while the iron was hot, which directly destroyed his three views. He coughed and continued, "In the long run, my heaven is to have a great harmony in the world and share peace. I absolutely agree with this dream, but it is difficult to realize it. Without careful deployment, should my peace continue to fight north like this? Where is the end? After leaving Guangxi, everyone has no idea. Are we just going to be bandits like this?"

Zeng Shuiyuan suddenly felt the words of Xiao Yungui hit the voice of him and most of the Taiping Army. They fought from Guangxi to Hunan. Where should they go? No one knew that after the Battle of Changsha in history, the leaders of the Taiping Army began to discuss the matter. In the end, Yang Xiuqing proposed a strategy of focusing on Jinling. The Changmao had the agitated fighting spirit and pushed them all the way east from Yuezhou. It lasted nearly a thousand miles in 27 days and conquered Nanjing. It has to be said that it is indeed a miracle in military history. But Zeng Shuiyuan can't see any strategy of focusing on Jinling in front of him.

Xiao Yungui said lightly: "Now we have conquered Changsha. This is the first provincial capital captured by our heavenly kingdom. We should manage it well, so we cannot kill people randomly, divide and win over wealthy businessmen, and let some people use it for me. As long as we can gain a firm foothold in Hunan, whether we go north to Hubei, west to Yunnan and Guizhou, east to Jiangxi, or south to our hometown Guangxi, we can be at ease. What's more, the Chenzhou brigade has not arrived, and we cannot act in some things. We still have to wait for the Heavenly King and the East King to decide. Otherwise, we will do it hard and destroy the plan of Heavenly King and the East King. This is not good. Brother Zeng, you are a smart person, you should understand."

Zeng Shuiyuan was confused by Xiao Yungui's speech, and felt that what the Western King said was indeed reasonable. He bowed and said, "What the Western King said is very true, and his subordinates understand."

Xiao Yungui nodded with satisfaction, feeling relieved in his heart, Zeng Shuiyuan said again: "There are still tens of thousands of bannermen in the city. Will these people be killed?"

Xiao Yungui hesitated in his heart. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was originally going to raise an army under the slogan of expelling Hu Nu. He had no longer killed wealthy businessmen. If he didn't even kill Hu people, it would be too unreasonable. However, most of the bannermen Zeng Shuiyuan said were old, weak, women and children, and tens of thousands of people. He asked him to order a massacre. He couldn't help but hesitate in his heart.

At this moment, the outside card knife hand reported: "His Royal Highness, Tong Qiangsheng, who was going out to inquire about the news, is back."

Xiao Yungui said hurriedly, "Let him in quickly." He really couldn't make up his mind to massacre so many people, and if he could, he would drag it down. Tong Qiangsheng's arrival just broke his siege.

Tong Qiangsheng walked up to the hall with a sweat on his head. It seemed that he had been rushing back. Before Xiao Yungui asked, Tong Qiangsheng clasped his fists and said, "Your Highness of the Western King, the Qing Yao Admiral Bao Qibao led three thousand defeated soldiers to retreat to Xiangyin. Now, together with the Qing Yao Hubei Admiral Shuangfu reinforcements, 3,000 reinforcements, are rushing to the north of Changsha City. There are also Qing Yao enemy in the south, and about a thousand Qing Yao stationed in Xiangtan. After inquiring from many sources, he found out that this Qing Yao is the Qing Yao partial division that besieged the Chenzhou brigade, and the leader is Deng Shaoliang, deputy general of the Qing Yao Chuxiong Association."

Zeng Shuiyuan said angrily, "It's Deng Shaoliang again, this thief. This Qing demon followed Xiang Yaotou and my holy soldiers to fight in Guangxi for more than a year. How many of our brothers' blood are there in hand!"

Xiao Yungui touched his nose and pondered: "Where are the east and west?"

Tong Qiangsheng gasped for a few breaths and continued, "There are enemies in the west. Our brothers in the west intercepted and killed several Qing Yao messengers and found someone to read the content of the letter. It was a reply from Jia Hengjin, the co-master of the Qing Yao Phoenix Hall, and Qu Tenglong, deputy general of Yongsui Association, to Bao Yaotou. More than 2,000 Qing Yao demons are coming to Changsha, and the Qing Yao letter is here."

Xiao Yungui took Tong Qiangsheng's letter and read it. Zeng Shuiyuan came up to watch it together. The letter was indeed as Tong Qiangsheng said, and a clear demon was also attacking the west.

After reading the letter, Xiao Yungui calmed down and asked again: "Where is the east?"

Tong Qiangsheng replied: "In the southeast, Wang Jialin, the general of the Hebei Town of Qing Yao, brought troops from Anren to You County. He has more than 1,500 Qing Yaos under his command. He joined forces with more than 1,000 Qing Yaos in Jiujiang Camp in Jiangxi. He is almost at Liling. This Qing Yaos is on the way when our army comes. In order to inquire about this Qing Yaos, we have also lost a few brothers."

Xiao Yungui turned around to the table, opened the sheepskin map, picked up the brush to make rough marks on the map, and then fell into deep thought. Zeng Shuiyuan looked at Xiao Yungui in surprise at this time. When could His Royal Highness the West read so many letters and writes, he didn't know the font himself. Of course, Zeng Shuiyuan didn't know it, because the words written by Xiao Yungui were simplified, but it was certain that Xiao Yungui wrote indeed Chinese characters, but it was very ugly.

Qing Yao had a complete post station to deliver messages. The letter was reported on the date of Changsha. The Qing army post station to the west had not received any news of Changsha's fall, so the messenger still came directly to Changsha, and was caught by Tong Qiangsheng's men. But from this, it can be seen that before Changsha fell, Luo Bingzhang and Bao Qibao's request for help had been sent. The Qing army was coming to Changsha from all directions, and the situation would only get worse and worse.

Xiao Yungui frowned and asked, "Is there any news about the Chenzhou Brigade?"

Zeng Shuiyuan was still wondering about Xiao Yungui suddenly knowing so many words. Xiao Yungui asked again before saying, "In the morning, news came from Chenzhou. Xi Wangniang led more than a thousand people from the Women's Camp and the Children's Camp to Changsha. Now that I have heard about the Tong brothers, I am afraid that they will meet Qing Yao on the road."

Xiao Yungui was stunned, then furious, and cursed: "Damn, this is a war. What fun is a group of women bringing their children to join in?! Do you think Changsha is not messy enough?! Whose fucking idea is this?! Do you still want me to divide the troops to save them?! Damn, do I have so many soldiers?!" (New book is for collection, recommendation)
