.The Sun City and the Golden Dragon Hall are now gathered with exactly six kings from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Dong Wang Yang Xiuqing first introduced Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan to various military deployments in the early stage of the Celestial Empire, and then looked at the two with inquiring eyes, "I wonder what suggestions do you have for these deployments?"

Lin Haifeng looked at Zheng Nan and cleared his throat, "I came here for the first time and needed to understand everything. There is no suggestion. I just talk about some of my own superficial views. If there is anything wrong, I would like to ask Brother Wang for advice. At present, it is also the best strategy to lead the army to the west. However, I think the Northern Expedition is not as good as a temporary cancellation. The Northern Expedition is weak, and since it cannot achieve great things, if there is a mistake, it will be a waste of these old brothers. These old brothers who came from Guangxi are our wealth!"

The Wing King nodded, turned his head and looked at Yang Xiuqing with a consultative gaze, "I think that's the case. Since we can't extract more military forces to organize the Northern Expedition, it's better to postpone it. In order to gain time, so as not to enter Shanxi according to the historical development, I have sent a messenger to inform them to prepare for returning to Yangzhou and Zhenjiang last night. Heavenly King, Brother Dongwang, what do you think? If you think it is feasible, I will issue an edict to return to them immediately."

Hong Xiuquan thought about it, but did not express his opinion, but turned his attention to Yang Xiuqing. From the bottom of his heart, he was unwilling to return to Lin Fengxiang and the others. Since Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan could predict the future development of the situation, they could use this to guide the soldiers of the Northern Expedition to ensure that the Northern Expedition can proceed smoothly.

Yang Xiuqing and Hong Xiuquan had different ideas. After all, he was a strategist who actually controlled the overall situation. He also saw that if the Northern Expedition persisted, it might not be able to achieve the previous strategic purpose, but it could only restrain the Qing Yao from the north, so that more people would be able to siege Tianjing. Especially the last sentence Lin Haifeng said touched him. The soldiers of the Northern Expedition were all brave men who could fight and were even more loyal to the Celestial Empire, and they were all his former ancestral members. Thinking of this, he waved his hand vigorously, "Since both of you think it is feasible, I naturally agree. I immediately notified the Northern Expedition's troops to return quickly, and they could concentrate their strength and wait for an opportunity to destroy the Jiangnan camp of Xiang Rong, the old demon-head, so that he would always be disgusted outside the city of Tianjing. King, what do you think?"

Seeing that the East King and the Wing King had a rare agreement and supported Lin Haifeng's statement, King Hong Tian said regretfully: "It was just a rare good situation in the Northern Expedition, and the soldiers paid the price of blood in vain."

"It's not a pity," Lin Haifeng looked at King Hong Tian, ​​"The Qing demons are in Shandong, and Zhili have a large number of troops and are about to join the encirclement of the Northern Expedition troops. Xianfeng will also draw elite horses from Mongolian Senggelinqin. The Qing army faced by the Northern Expedition Army is powerful. According to our current situation, in order to ensure the safety of Tianjing, we cannot give up Yangzhou and Zhenjiang, and it is even more impossible to draw troops from Tianjing. Lin Fengxiang and others can only fight alone. Without support and no room for maneuver, this kind of battle will not have an end."

Hong Xiuquan nodded, "Changhui, what do you think?" He placed his only glimmer of hope on Wei Changhui who was silent.

Wei Changhui did not expect that the Eastern King would have such a tacit understanding with the new King An. He felt that his status in the Celestial Kingdom had begun to decline, and he was lowering his head and was quite sad. He heard the King ask him, he quickly raised his head and said without hesitation: "I fully agree with the cancellation of the Northern Expedition. It is a taboo for military strategists to go deeper alone. Eliminating the Jiangnan camp is the best strategy."

"Okay, since everyone's opinions are so consistent, let's decide this first." Hong Xiuquan said helplessly.

Yang Xiuqing smiled and looked at the Heavenly King, "King An and Ning are both talented people. For the sake of the great plan of the Heavenly Kingdom, Xiuqing thought that they should be the two of them to preside over the military decision in the court. Xiuqing was willing to give up the position of military advisor. Please take care of the Heavenly King."

Hong Xiuquan felt happy in his heart. He was about to express his opinion, but Lin Haifeng snatched him first.

Lin Haifeng shook his hands repeatedly and looked at Yang Xiuqing sincerely, "Brother Dong, it's not good to do this. To be honest, Zheng Nan and I are still very unfamiliar with the current real world. We cannot replace Brother Wang's role in the Heavenly Dynasty."

As he said that, his eyes swept across King Hong Tian, ​​Shi Dakai, and Wei Changhui, "We can give advice to the Heavenly Dynasty and do our best to assist you brothers."

"King An is right," Zheng Nan said with a smile, "We are just doing some practical work to make the Tian Dynasty develop better."

Hong Xiuquan felt a little disappointed when they said that Yang Xiuqing had added a lot of favor to them. He shook his head and said from the bottom of his heart: "The two brothers need to have power, otherwise they will not be able to display your abilities."

"I want to ask the king for power." Lin Haifeng smiled, "I want to organize a new army. King Ning needs to build a large-scale ordnance, and the guidance of the king, and the strong help of all the kings."

Yang Xiuqing looked at the Heavenly King without hesitation, "This is a good thing, of course we have to follow the rules and support."

Hong Xiuquan also smiled and nodded, "See, of course."

Shi Dakai looked at Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan, "With the support of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King, you can ask for people and people, and you can have money. I hope you can build a foreign gun team as soon as possible. At that time, Qing Yao must be trembling." As he said that, he smiled proudly.

Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and the others also smiled with satisfaction.

"It's not a foreign gun team," Zheng Nan corrected with a smile, "it's our own gun!"

"This foreign gun, oh, no, the firearm you said is really that powerful?" Hong Xiuquan seemed to look at Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan with some disbelief, "To be honest, that foreign gun is already powerful enough. If we really have guys who are stronger than foreign guns, then wouldn't it be like walking on flat ground if we sweep the demons?"

"What is the foreign gun?" Zheng Nan snorted disdainfully, "When King An trains the new army, you can go and watch it. By that time, brothers will experience the role of new weapons. I dare to say that, as long as we are fully prepared, dozens of our soldiers can block thousands of Qing soldiers in one place, so that he cannot move."

"Okay," Hong Xiuquan nodded repeatedly, "Then Brother Haifeng will train the new army as soon as possible, but I can't wait." As he said that, he laughed.

"Yes, we must speed up the establishment of the new army." Shi Dakai smiled at Lin Haifeng, "Brother Haifeng, let's talk about your suggestions for the next step of the Celestial Empire?"

"Okay," Lin Haifeng agreed readily, "Just as the King of the East said just now, after Lin Fengxiang's troops retreated safely, we will first concentrate our troops to eliminate Xiang Rong's Jiangnan camp. Then we will send troops to the east to seize Shanghai and pacify Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Jiangsu and Zhejiang are the hometown of fish and rice. With Jiangsu and Zhejiang, we will have room and support for development."

"How to deal with Jiangbei Camp?" Yang Xiuqing asked. It is of course a good thing to really have a smooth eastern expedition, but he cannot ignore the threat that more than 100,000 Qing troops from Jiangbei Camp once the eastern expedition is brought to Tianjing.
