Chapter Three Hundred and Forty-Three Innocent And Punished
Although Xiao Yungui had already guessed why the King of Heaven secretly called him back to the capital this time, he was still a little surprised when he heard the King of Heavenly Heavenly He raised it in his ears. Could it be that the conflict between the two had reached such a point? Although he was prepared in his heart, Xiao Yungui didn't want the King of Heaven to see anything. He was so panicked that his hands and feet were in a panic that he knocked the chess basket beside his sleeves to the ground.
After the chess piece scattered all over the ground, Xiao Yungui hurriedly knelt down on the ground and whispered: "Brother, think about this matter twice. Now my heaven is as strong as the sky. Xiao Yungui is afraid that the Qing demon will take advantage of it." At this point, Hong Xiuquan snorted softly and did not respond. Xiao Yungui gritted again: "Besides, the Eastern King has the center, and the situation is difficult to control, and he will be punished without guilt. I am afraid that many people will not accept it. I am afraid that the matter has not been arranged properly. After the operation, there will be endless disasters..."
Xiao Yungui was not kind-hearted either. Although he was eager for the Heavenly King to fight to the death with the East King, his troops in the West Hall were at the critical moment of transformation. In the chaos in Tianjing, he was not fully sure that he could suppress the other kings. In his opinion, no matter who started first, it was not the time. He said in a vague way that he was worried in his heart, hoping that the Heavenly King could temporarily endure and at the same time reassure the Heavenly King. He was actually still thinking about the Heavenly King from the standpoint of the Heavenly King.
Sure enough, the King of Heaven was quite worried after hearing this. The King of Heaven was in control of the center and also came to the earth to pass the imperial edict on behalf of the Heavenly Father. His party members were everywhere in Tianjing. If the arrangement was not done properly, it would be quite a risk. Moreover, Xiao Yungui's statement that the punishment of the Emperor of Heavenly Father was also quite hesitant. Although the King of Heavenly Father was arrogant and appointed the emperor to suppress him, the King of Heavenly Father had no intention of rebelling, and it would be very troublesome to punish him without guilt. Xiao Yungui was sure of Hong Xiuquan's concern. In history, Hong Xiuquan had always endured Yang Xiuqing and refused to issue it until Yang Xiuqing forced the title of Long Live. Hong Xiuquan launched the Tianjing Incident. At that time, Yang Xiuqing not only offended many people, but also touched Hong Xiuquan's bottom line. It was because the conflict between the two broke out over the years.
But Yang Xiuqing has not yet achieved that step yet, so what crime should he be killed? Not to mention being innocent, after the Tianjing Incident in history, Hong Xiuquan calmed down the anger of many heavenly ministers and generals under pressure. Finally, he had to admit the achievements of the Eastern King and specially positioned the day Yang Xiuqing was killed to commemorate Yang Xiuqing's Ascension Festival. This shows Yang Xiuqing's prestige in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Seeing that Hong Xiuquan was a little hesitant, Xiao Yungui continued to strike the railway while it was hot: "Brother, you need to think twice before you can do it. The prestige of the East King is not something that can be eliminated in just a few words, and the East King is not someone who can be punished without guilt."
Hong Xiuquan hesitated for a moment. He walked back and forth with his hands behind his back and forth a few steps, and said as he walked: "But he is arrogant and domineering. Sooner or later he won't take me seriously. Until then..."
Xiao Yungui knelt down and clasped his fists and shouted: "I am obeying the king of heaven. One day, I will fight with the traitors and traitors. Baoding King of Heaven, in the king of heaven, I only recognize the king of heaven and have no brothers and feet!"
These words made Hong Xiuquan feel relieved. It seemed that the Western King was still loyal to him, otherwise he would not have persuaded him like this. Hong Xiuquan helped Xiao Yungui up and said, "I understand the thoughts of the dynasty. It's just that the Eastern King is going to touch Chen Yucheng this time. Yucheng is your beloved general. I am afraid that it will make you embarrassed."
When Xiao Yungui heard this, he knew that Hong Xiuquan had already known that it was not the time to take action. He secretly ordered him to come here, just to use the defeat in Nanchang to sow the relationship between the two kings of the East and West, and to win over the Western King at the same time. If the provocation is successful, the Eastern King and the Western King will fight directly, and it is best to have both defeated. Even if both cannot be injured at that time, it would be good to use the Eastern King's hands to weaken the Western King's power.
If Hong Xiuquan was really determined to attack the East King, he would never have changed his mind just because of Xiao Yungui's words. Xiao Yungui was already sweating profusely at this time, but fortunately he had not agreed. While urging Hong Xiuquan to delay the attack, he also expressed his loyalty to Hong Xiuquan. If it were the real Xiao Chaogui, he might have been persuaded by him in a few words and turned against the East King.
At this moment, Hong Xiuquan talked about Chen Yucheng's affairs again, and was obviously a little unwilling to let it go, and planned to point out the matter and continue to instigate the King of the West and Kings of the East. At this moment, Xiao Yungui hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Brother, don't worry about this matter. I will deal with it myself, and I will definitely not make things difficult for my elder brother. Since it is not the time, I will endure it, and I will also endure it. I must not make big plans for small things."
Hong Xiuquan sighed lightly, patted Xiao Yungui on the shoulder and said, "It's really a difficult situation for the Chaozi. Since that's the case, the Chaozi will go back and prepare. When the time is right, I will have an imperial edict for you."
Xiao Yungui bowed and resigned, scolding Hong Xiuquan in his heart. His grandmother, if I hadn't known that you two would see the truth in life and death sooner or later, they might have been fooled to do the best things like Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang in history. In the future, they would have to be energetic.
After taking a carriage, the people from the Tianwang Mansion led them out of the back door of the Tianwang Mansion. Some people from the Tianwang Mansion were sent to see him off. Xiao Yungui and others left Tianjing City and moved to a secluded place. Seeing that the Tianwang Mansion had already returned, Xiao Yungui jumped out of the car and changed into ordinary holy soldiers' clothes. Then several people came out on the side of the road, but Bai Zetang arranged an insider in Tianjing. The people were all generals of the Dongwang Tianjing defenders. At that moment, Xiao Yungui followed the few people back to Tianjing.
With a few people covering him, naturally no one would pay attention to Xiao Yungui, a soldier wearing an ordinary holy soldier's clothing. Besides, he had a few plaster on his face, and his hair was messy, so no one paid attention.
After entering the city, Xiao Yungui passed through the desolate Confucius Temple. He had no time to watch the burned statues and books in front of the Confucius Temple and passed by. He strolled across the Wende Bridge on the Qinhuai River. Xiao Yungui stopped here and looked at the Qinhuai River from a distance. He saw that the once lively and prosperous Qinhuai River was also extremely deserted. Because the Taiping Army banned the brothels, even the flower boats on the Qinhuai River were gone.
"Another famous sight was missing." Xiao Yungui muttered secretly. After crossing Wende Bridge, he did not stay in Meixiang Tower for too long. He knew that Meixiang Tower was a small building commemorating Li Xiangjun. Leaving the Meixiang Tower and walking dozens of steps southwest, he saw the plaques and erected poems in Wuyi Lane. The alley is narrow, with a pavement paved with blue bricks, and on both sides are short houses. Everything seems to be very ordinary, so ordinary that many uninformed people think it is just a typical Jiangnan alley. A quiet alley with a little nostalgia.
However, it is not ordinary, because it is not another alley, it is Wuyi Lane. During the Three Kingdoms period, Jiangning was called Jianye. At that time, Jianye was far from the size of today's Jiangning. The entire capital of Dongwu was only spread in Jilong Mountain and Zhoushan. In this alley beside the Qinhuai River, there were already teams of Dongwu soldiers wearing black clothes living, practicing, and chatting. This is the location of Wuyi camp among the Eastern Wu Imperial Guards. Naturally, people called this alley Wuyi Lane.
Once you turn into the alley, you can see the four golden characters "Wang Xie Ancient House" that are very eye-catching on the snow-white wall. A large mansion with a large plaque "Wang Xie Ancient House" hanging high is undoubtedly the legendary Wang Xie Tang Mansion.
Xiao Yungui entered Wang Xietang's mansion. Since the Taiping Army of the West Palace entered Tianjing, it has become one of the many strongholds in Bai Zetang in the city. In the study, after reading the secret reports sent in the past few days, Xiao Yungui sent letters to Zuo Zongtang from Suzhou and Chen Yucheng from Jiangxi respectively. The King of Dong wanted to find trouble for the West Palace because of the defeat in Nanchang, so the West Palace would certainly not sit still and wait for death. Xiao Yungui got the letter to Zuo Zongtang and ordered Zuo Zongtang to temporarily transport money and grain to Tianjing, and at the same time, he ordered Chen Yucheng to lead his troops back to Shanghai.
He already knew that the King of Eastern King ordered King Yan to bring troops into Jiangxi. Bai Zetang's people in the King of Eastern Kings' Mansion immediately found out the news. Fortunately, Xiao Yungui was in Tianjing, so he received the news as soon as possible. Xiao Yungui immediately sent a letter to Chen Yucheng, ordering him to withdraw his reorganization directly. He did not believe that King Yan would dare to bring troops into the hinterland of Suqiu Province to acquire people. As for the letter to Jiangxi to Zuo Zongtang, Xiao Yungui ordered Zuo Zongtang to mobilize the reorganized third division to enter Jiangxi and guard the Jingdezhen front line. In the future, the territory that the West Palace eats will no longer be easily spit out.
The three divisions of the First Army were reorganized at the beginning of the month. The first and second divisions had been transferred to Ningbo to replace Li Xiucheng's troops to prepare for military use in Fujian. The Third Division was originally planning to go north to Suzhong to strengthen Luo Dagang's troops, but the Dongwang suddenly attacked, so Xiao Yungui had to transfer the Third Division to Jiangxi to replace Chen Yucheng's troops.
At the same time, Xiao Yungui ordered Zuo Zongtang to issue orders to prepare for war to the various departments of the West Palace. Although it was not the time to turn against the East Palace, it was impossible for others to hold their swords around their necks, and he was not prepared at all.
Slowing the delivery of money and grain to Tianjing was also Xiao Yungui's trump card. At this time, more than 50% of the grain in Tianjing had to be supplied by Su Fu Province. Xiao Yungui planned to make the King of Dong realize the great risks and losses of having a feud with him.
Then Xiao Yungui sent a letter to Luo Dagang and others in the West Palace, telling them to pay attention to the movements of the Taiping Army in various places and to prevent others from taking action first.
After writing the letter, Xiao Yungui stayed in Wuyi Lane to wait for the news and watched the situation change. He was still not sure whether Dongwang would be anxious to do this. At the same time, he also wanted to stay in Tianjing to wait for the latest news. He knew very well that when all these actions made Dongwang feel, Dongwang would not be indifferent. He knew the best of Yang Xiuqing's temperament. In the end, he still needed to meet and negotiate with Yang Xiuqing. This meeting would not be avoided no matter what, unless Xiao Yungui was ready to turn against him now.
Five days later, some unusual mobilizations of the West Palace attracted Yang Xiuqing's attention. At the same time, the monthly food in Su Fu Province was not shipped on time. What's even more hateful is that the King of Yan's troops had just left Tianjing, and there was news from Jiangxi that Chen Yucheng's troops were retreating to the hinterland of Su Fu Province.
After learning the news, Yang Xiuqing was very angry. Then a secret letter from the King of the West was sent to his case. When he opened it, he found that the King of the West invited the King of the East to meet alone on the Xiaguan Navy warship. The letter only said that there was a secret discussion with his brother about life and death. Yang Xiuqing was silent for a while and decided to go to the appointment on time.
