In the Golden Dragon Palace, Lin Haifeng told the kings in detail his combat plan to resolve the Qing army's Jiangnan camp.

In view of the strength of the 30,000 troops in the Jiangnan Camp in Qing Dynasty, he formulated and used the Red Army and the Teaching Brigade as the main force, and mobilized 30,000 troops from Qin Rigang and Zeng Shuiyuan, who were originally responsible for Tianjing defense, to carry out a four-sided attack on the Jiangnan Camp and wiped out all the troops in one fell swoop.

After hearing Lin Haifeng's plan, King Hong Tian nodded in agreement, but he was still a little worried, "The Jiangnan Camp of Qing Yao Xiangrong is not a weak enemy. After the Dakai brothers' army left Zhenjiang, Qing Yao established the Jiangbei Camp led by Qishan outside Yangzhou City. In response to the Jiangnan Camp, I think that my brother's military advantage is not very strong. Once it becomes a stalemate, I am afraid that if he loses one thing, it will cause both sides of the situation."

Zheng Nan smiled with a hint, "Don't worry, the new grenade launcher of our Heavenly Army will be unforgettable to Qing Yao for life. In addition, it is fully equipped with half of the teaching brigade, so it is easy to pacify the Jiangnan Camp. I and Brother An have repeatedly studied it and resolve the battle in one day for the Jiangnan Camp. I think when the east expedition to pacify Jiangsu and Zhejiang and gain greater development space for the Heavenly Kingdom is a key issue."

King Hong Tian thought for a while, "Okay, then follow the plan of the Haifeng brothers."

"If the Jiangnan camp is destroyed, Tianjing will be much safer, and the supply channels for food and military supplies will be completely smooth. Since you have been fully prepared, then implement it as soon as possible. In order to be prepared, you can call Xu Zongyang, Su Sanniang and others to be on guard against Qishan's old demon head's soldiers and soldiers across the river." Yang Xiuqing looked at the Heavenly King and raised his hand. "In addition, Xuan Jiao's female army and card knives from various prefectures are concentrated, and they can be thrown into it once needed. As for the Eastern Expedition, after this war, the army still needs some time to rest, and the weather will slowly turn colder. Especially in Shanghai, there will definitely be intervention from foreign devils and should not be ignored. If our army is dragged under the city of Shanghai in winter, it is likely that our army will be unfavorable. I think it is better to go on the Eastern Expedition again in the spring of next year."

Lin Haifeng nodded, "Brother Dong Wang has considered it carefully. However, according to the information I have, Shanghai City has been controlled by Liu Lichuan's Xiaodao Society. Qing Yao and foreign devils are joining forces to exterminate Xiaodao Society. After we wiped out the Jiangnan Camp, after a brief rest and reorganized Qin Rigang and Zeng Shuiyuan Departments, we should send troops to the east as soon as possible. This is an excellent opportunity. We cannot wait for Shanghai's Xiaodao Society to be eliminated."

Yang Xiuqing looked at Lin Haifeng, "How is the situation of Shanghai Xiaodao you mentioned?"

Lin Haifeng thought for a while and said slowly: "The Xiaodao Society was originally one of the tribes of the Tiandihui. In the first year of the Jintiantuan camp, Chen Qingzhen, an overseas Chinese in Xiamen, Fujian, built the Xiaodao Society with Wang Quan and 10 others in the Flagrobe Foot Temple in Xiamen. The Xiaodao Society inherited the organizational form of the Tiandihui, the slogans and waist sticks of the Tiandihui. Soon, it developed to thousands of people. The members were marked by Xiaodao, so they were called Xiaodao Society. The main members were farmers, and handicraft workers, sailors, porters, vagrants and a few industrial and commercial masters participated in the city. Later, they developed to Shanghai. In August this year, the Xiaodao Society launched an uprising in Shanghai. However, their initial slogan was to revive the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty and establish the so-called Ming Dynasty. Liu Lichuan, the leader of the Guangdong Tiandihui, said that the Ming Dynasty was commanding the political and religious recruitment of the Grand Marshal, and Li Xianchi, the leader of the Fujian Xiaodao Society, said that the founding father of Fengtian was the founding father of Pinghu."

"Ming Dynasty?" Hong Xiuquan frowned, "How can he build his own country?"

Lin Haifeng looked at him and smiled, "They should have given up their national name at present, and Liu Lichuan also called himself the 'Taiping Heavenly Kingdom commander of politics and religion to recruit the Grand Marshal'. They originally wanted to open up contact with Zhenjiang last month, but unfortunately they were not strong enough. The letters sent to the Heavenly Kingdom requesting to accept restraint may have been unexpectedly arrived because of the delivery of the letter."

When Hong Xiuquan heard this, his eyebrows stretched out and his eyes turned to Yang Xiuqing.

"The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom commanded the political and religious marshals," Yang Xiuqing smiled and shook his head, "If so, it would be better than it should be."

"Since there is a knife in Shanghai that will drag Qing Yao, why don't we develop the areas around Tianjing first as much as possible, to raise money and grain, and to calmly repair the army." Wei Changhui thought while saying, "Besides, the Eastern Expedition will inevitably take away many elite troops. Once Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are in a tight position, what should Tianjing deal with it?"

Lin Haifeng nodded, "What Brother Beiwang said is not unreasonable." As he said that, he stood up, "After the Jiangnan camp was broken, and our army's eastward expedition, there will be no threat south of Tianjing. The navy of our army under the command of King Yi has completely controlled the Yangtze River basin from Wuchang to Zhenjiang. Therefore, all the garrison sites along the river are not seriously damaged. Yangzhou and Zhenjiang are the northern gates of Tianjing. Outside Yangzhou City, there is Qishan's Jiangbei camp, which controls more than 100,000 troops, and there is indeed a need for key defense there. Before the east expedition, appropriate defensive forces must be arranged properly. The east expedition to pacify Jiangsu and Zhejiang, fundamentally solving the supply of food and grass from heaven. Suzhou and Hangzhou have been rice and grain rivers since ancient times. By taking Shanghai, we can open up trade channels with Western countries, develop heavenly industries, and equip more new troops. Why worry about the uncertainty of the world?"

Yang Xiuqing was stunned for a moment and laughed, "In April, Wen Han, the governor of Hong Kong and the plenipotentiary representative of China, wrote a letter to the Celestial Empire, claiming that they would remain neutral. After discussing with the King of Heaven, he also replied to him, repeatedly saying that the British and civilians from overseas have not traveled thousands of miles to submit to our dynasty. Not only did the soldiers of the Celestial Empire welcome him, but the Heavenly Father of Heaven will also praise his loyalty and righteousness. He also allowed his expatriates to enter and exit freely and advance and retreat at will, whether to assist our heavenly soldiers to annihilate the demon enemies, or to operate business as usual, he would listen to it. Later, Wen Han brought people to Tianjing specifically. However, these British people had a different word and a different heart. They originally wanted to take this opportunity to buy some guns, cannons, fire, and food, but they did not even have any news when they left."

Hong Xiuquan shook his head, obviously disagreeing with his statement, "I think that when dealing with Western countries, we should be based on sincerity. They believe in God like the Celestial Empire and are the people of the Father. Do not be impatient in everything, but slowly enlighten them and ultimately use them for the Celestial Empire."

Lin Haifeng sat down with a smile. He really couldn't compliment King Hong Tian's words. He also believed in God? Haha, you have changed the God of others in a mess, and they don't think of you like this. What is even more untolerant is that, as Yang Xiuqing said just now, the current foreign policy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is actually to abide by the treaty signed by the Qing government to win the favor of foreigners. However, he cannot reject their thoughts at once, so he can only do it slowly. Isn't King Hong Tian talking about "civilization"?

"What the King of Heaven said is good!" He picked up his fists and urged Hong Xiuquan. "However, as far as I know, after visiting Tianjing, Wenhan ordered his entourage to write an inspection report on Tianjing, and evaluate the power of the Celestial Kingdom from various aspects such as politics, military, economy, business, religion, and officers and soldiers. On this basis, he wrote a summary inspection report for the British government. He believed that the Celestial Kingdom's attempt to overthrow the current government would not be successful.' advocated supporting the Qing government, and continued to be "neutral" on the surface, and at the same time believed that "full force should be prepared to resist the revolutionary army or attacks."
