Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Treasure King Liu Xinmin was defeated in repeated battles, causing heavy casualties to his army. After learning the news, King Hong Xiuquan became furious and issued twelve gold-lettered plaques, demanding that Liu Xinmin withdraw his troops and return to be punished!
Liu Xinmin was horrified when he heard the news. He immediately summoned his closest soldiers to discuss the matter. If he immediately returned to the court, he would be severely punished by Hong Xiuquan. However, if he disobeyed military orders, there would be no good consequences. How should he decide what to do?
Ba bandit, his confidant and favorite general, said bluntly that in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they had the title of king but no real title. Hong Xiuquan, Xiao Chaogui, and Feng Yunshan had delicious meals and many wives and concubines in the house, but he, the king of the same name, was It's rare for someone to eat a simple meal, and what's more, they haven't even married yet and have children. If they are treated so unfairly, it would be better to just rebel against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and establish themselves as kings!
"How can Hong Xiuquan tolerate one thing in front of his face and another behind his back? When we first joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he had a small feast and a big feast for three days. How happy it was? When all the troops he brought us were integrated, it became like this again. With that look, I think we should just leave the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."
Listening to the suggestions from his confidants like Ba Bandit, Lu Bandit and others, Liu Xinmin's face was gloomy and uncertain, and his eyes sometimes dimmed and sometimes shone brightly, as if he was thinking about something. Hong Xiuquan, the King of Heaven, issued twelve gold-lettered requests in succession. It is absolutely impossible for him to return quickly just to blame himself for losing the battle.
"Lord, do you mean that Hong Xiuquan wants to take this opportunity to eradicate us?"
Listening to Ba Bandit's surprised inquiry, Liu Xinmin did not answer immediately, but took the initiative to stand up and turned his back to everyone, looking up at the setting sun outside the tent. It was not until the top of the mountain could no longer see a trace of afterglow that Liu Xinmin then A few words came out of his mouth with a sigh. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_/c\_/o\_/m
"I'm afraid the withdrawal of troops this time will be disastrous. How can a man live in heaven and earth and live in depression for a long time?"
At this time, Liu Xinmin's eyes were gloomy and gloomy, and he had already figured out how to deal with Hong Xiuquan. Since this guy wants to take the opportunity to execute himself and others, then we must find a way to let him die first. As long as Hong Xiuquan dies, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will inevitably turn into a pot of chaos. At that time, all the kings had too much time to take care of themselves, so who would dare to punish themselves for losing the battle?
As for the plan Liu Xinmin had in mind, that was to first deal with Hong Xiuquan's twelve golden medals in a row, and then secretly join forces with Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, to help him seek power and usurp the throne!
Who is Yang Xiuqing? In September 1888, he was awarded the title of "Eastern King" in Moling, Danyang County, Yangzhou, and was called "Nine Thousand Years Old". His status was second only to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan.
He strategized in the Taiping Army and made great contributions to the vigorous development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. Among them, it was he who proposed the idea of named the generals of the enfeoffed army as Yizi Bingjian Wang and other royal titles. He later assisted Prime Minister Hong Rengan in compiling and promulgating The national policy "Tianchao Tianmu System" sympathizes with the sentiments of the people, appeases the people, rectifies corrupt officials, and leads the army to take the initiative to defend the southeastern region of the Taiping Rebellion from Han court officers and soldiers. While consolidating imperial power, it also stabilizes the Taiping Rebellion's regime. (Compiled to serve the content of the book, please do not remember it as historical data!)
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was apparently dominated by the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, but the real person in power was undoubtedly Yang Xiuqing. At this time, even if King Hong Xiuquan knew it, it would not help. Sixty percent of the generals in the army were Yang Xiuqing's direct subordinates. Prime Minister Hong Rengan had a close relationship with Yang Xiuqing. Feng Yunshan, Xiao Chaogui, Guo Wei and others had close contacts with him. Now The main reason why he did not overthrow Hong Xiuquan and ascend to the throne himself was that he needed a status, a legitimate reason for him not to be spurned by others.
As long as Liu Xinmin is willing to join Yang Xiuqing's faction, then Yang Xiuqing's dominance in the army can reach at least 70% or even higher. It will be easy to deal with the old guy Hong Xiuquan in the future. He can be directly captured. .
"We just lost the battle, and Hong Xiuquan wants to take our lives. This is absolutely untenable in the court. If General Yang Xiuqing comes to help, he will be spared the death penalty but will not escape the punishment of living.
However, after this incident, our former brothers in the army will definitely be dissatisfied with Hong Xiuquan and return to a neutral position. Although it cannot strengthen General Yang Xiuqing's dominance in the army, it indirectly weakens Hong Xiuquan's strength. , with one thing going down and the other going up, why fear Hong Xiuquan? "
With Liu Xinmin's thoughts at this point, he immediately dispatched his subordinates and confidants.
Ai secretly rushed the land bandit back to Jianye with his own handwritten letter, and handed the letter to the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing. Then he went to the King of Zhou Guo Wei and the King of Brave Fu Yanqing for help, trying to win as many court officials as possible. With the help from the court, it would be easier for Liu Xinmin to reduce the punishment from Hong Xiuquan when he returns.
After his confidant Ai Jiang Lu Bandit held the letter handed over by Liu Xinmin, he put it in his arms and rushed out of the military tent. He picked up the magic weapon and quickly climbed onto the treasure horse, and then ran towards Jianye.
The lives of Liu Xinmin and others are in danger at this moment in the hands of the land bandits. Life or death depends on their destiny!
"In addition, we must try to prolong it as long as possible. The later we return to Jianye, the greater our advantage will be. Hong Xiuquan's confidants Wei Changhui and others who remain in the army must find a way to deal with it, otherwise it will affect the next specific actions. "
There was a hint of ferocity in the Ba bandit's eyes. Now that the lord Liu Xinmin has spoken, Wei Changhui and the others can't stay. One day, when night falls, he will make Lingding drunk and kill them again!
Then Liu Xinmin spoke again, deploying the next specific arrangements, which included how to deal with Yuan Shu's support army in Yuzhou and how to minimize the casualties of the effective forces and avoid fighting with the Han army. .
"My Lord, Yuzhou Yuan Shu just received a request for help from Tang Mao, the governor of Kuaiji County, and led his army south. As long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, there is a high probability that we will not be angered by the other party. w_/a_/p_/\_/.\_ /c\_/o\_/m
What if Yuan Shu leads the Yuzhou army to attack? We hoard food and grass and hold on in Yuji County to engage in a protracted battle with Yuan's army to delay time. We can also send Hong Xiuquan's confidant generals Wei Changhui, Zeng Tianyang, Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, and Tan Shaoguang to take charge of defending the city. We can kill two birds with one stone, so why not? Why? "
Listening to the advice offered by his confidant Liu Wuzhou, Liu Xinmin's dim and gloomy eyes flashed with lightning. If this plan is completed properly, all problems will be solved. Even if Yang Xiuqing cannot help him, it will not be a big problem. !
"Give me the command to stop attacking Shangyu County, preserve your strength, and then withdraw to Yuji County in an orderly manner to guard against enemy troops from Yuzhou."
