    In the big tent, Qian Jiang was frightened to death. After leaving the Jiangbei camp, he originally planned to follow the Hechun tribe south and seek refuge with Hechun. Unfortunately, in Baoshan County, he was indiscriminately killed by the Qing army.  Shocked by the cold-blooded means of taking advantage of others.  At that time, Qian Jiang changed his mind and felt that the Manchu Qing Dynasty was not the master of the Ming Dynasty. However, after hearing that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was wreaking havoc on Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism in Tianjing, he also felt that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had no help, and only the West Palace Taiping Army was the only one.  The reputation among the people was quite good, so Qian Jiang pretended to be a refugee and went to Suzhou. He planned to visit Wuxi, Zhenjiang and other places under the rule of the West Palace.

    Unexpectedly, there was a storm in Suzhou and the floods made it impossible to move forward. Qianjiang followed the fleeing people and was taken in by the West Palace Taiping Army.  During those days, Qian Jiang looked aside and discovered that the West Palace Taiping Army was indeed not as xenophobic and violent as the Tianjing Taiping Army.  They provided for the people, and vigorously treated Suzhou during the plague. There were even people from the three schools of Confucianism, Buddhism, and Taoism who followed the Taiping Army to donate doctors and administer medicines.  In the refugee camps, the Taiping Army organized the refugees, each taking their own responsibilities and working according to their individual abilities, to jointly fight against this great plague.  There, Qianjiang felt that the people around him had an indescribable sense of relief, and everyone burst out with unprecedented energy, which made Qianjiang look at him.

    Later, Qian Jiang heard about the deeds of the Western King from the mouths of many Taiping soldiers and common people. From breaking Changsha to going to Wuchang, from collecting donations on the chessboard to getting his own military stick, from the three religions and nine streams to the traders and pawns, the Western King treated everyone equally, and people gathered around him  Many brave generals and counselors.  The most rare thing is that although the King of the West believes in foreign religions, he is not exclusive. Wherever the Taiping Army of the West Palace goes, the foundations of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism are well preserved, and the relationship between the King of the West and the foreigners seems to be good.  What surprised Qian Jiang even more was the combat power of the West Palace Taiping Army. The soldiers of the West Palace Taiping Army were brave and good at fighting.  In Qianjiang, Suzhou, I saw a Western King who was supported by the military and the people.  After the Taiping Army captured Suzhou, Qian Jiang concluded that the Taiping Army would resolve the war in Shanghai, so he returned to the vicinity of Shanghai. Sure enough, he heard that the Taiping Army had wiped out the Hechunbu Qing army, and the city of Shanghai was about to fall.

    Last night, Qian Jiang burned up the lamp and copied out the policies to promote the king. He decided in his mind that the King of the West was the enlightened master he was looking for. When he wrote the twelfth policy, Qian Jiang deleted the original text that advised the king to weaken the power of the kings.  He thought hard for half the night and changed this strategy to replace it.  In his opinion, the King of the West is not a thing in the pond, and will definitely be replaced by the King of Heaven in the future. Only when the King of the West becomes the lord of Taiping, can the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have hope of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty.

    So Qian Jiang came to the King of the West to offer advice, but when he saw the strength of the King of the West, Qian Jiang was at a loss.  In the end, Qian Jiang was afraid that he would be looked down upon by the King of the West, so he took the risk and said that he would replace him with the King of the West.  He originally thought that King Xi was the master of the Ming Dynasty.  Zhiyuan Da would definitely agree with his words, but he didn't expect that King Xi would turn against him and want to kill him.

    Being picked up like a chicken by the guards of the West Palace, Qian Jiang refused to give up and shouted: "King Xi, everything I say is for your own good. Being controlled by others will never last forever"

    Xiao Yungui shouted loudly.  He kicked the desk and said angrily: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly pull it down and chop it!"

    Several guards carried Qian Jiang away and left. Qian Jiang was so frightened that he begged for mercy, but Xiao Yungui remained unmoved.  It wasn't until Qian Jiang was dragged out of the tent that Xiao Yungui waved to Li Xuanji to come over. Xiao Yungui whispered a few words in Li Xuanji's ear, and Li Xuanji turned around and left the tent.

    Qian Jiang was tied up by Wu Hua Da under the flagpole in the camp. Several guards held him down. An executioner raised a sharp sword. Qian Jiang sighed: "It's a pity that I, the pearl of Qianjiang, betrayed me secretly. This Xiao Chaogui is also a disadvantage."  The one who conspired with me!" After saying that, he closed his eyes and waited for death.

    Just when the executioner's sword was about to be swung, Li Xuanji's clear and soft voice came: "The person under the sword will be spared. The King of the West has ordered him to be brought back!"

    Hearing this, Qian Jiang felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He suddenly collapsed on the ground and was carried back to the tent by several guards from the West Palace.

    Back in the tent, Xiao Yungui saw that Qian Jiang was so frightened that he lost all strength. He smiled slightly and ordered someone to help him sit on a chair, and ordered the counselors to retreat. Only he and Li Xuanji were left in the tent.

    Xiao Yungui stepped forward and personally brought a cup of tea to Qian Jiang and said, "Mr. Qian is frightened. Let's drink some tea first to calm down." Then he pulled Zhang Taozi and sat in front of Qian Jiang, staring at Qian Jiang slowly.  Said: "Mr. Qian's talent is good, but he doesn't know much about the world. Some things can only be understood but not expressed, let alone spoken. As the saying goes, the window paper cannot be pierced. If it is pierced, it will not be beautiful.  That¡¯s the truth.¡±

    Qian Jiang drank a few sips of hot tea and felt a little calmer. He also understood what Xiao Yungui said and cursed himself for being messed up. How could he talk about persuading people to betray their master just after meeting him?  Holding hot tea in his hand, he nodded in agreement.

    Xiao Yungui said calmly: "I am in a delicate situation, and there are so many people who want to test me. Now that the time has not come, I am still loyal to the King of Heaven. It would be extremely inappropriate for me to make the slightest mistake and be exposed.  ?As soon as I heard what your husband said, I wanted to test your husband to see if he was the one who came to test me. Your husband did not change his mind until he died, so it seemed that he was not sent to test me.  Please forgive me for frightening you sir.  "After speaking, Xiao Yungui cupped his fists and gave a salute.

    Qian Jiang hurriedly put down his cup and returned the salute and said: "The King of the West is really a hero in this world. He is both coarse and fine. He is not deceived by external forces. He can distinguish right from wrong. I respect you." In fact, Qian Jiang was secretly frightened. He did not expect Xiao  Yun Gui is such a treacherous man. He clearly knows what he thinks in his heart, but he goes to great lengths to test himself. But this is fine. It seems that after he has passed this test, the King of the West will definitely treat him like a confidant.

    Unexpectedly, Xiao Yungui touched his nose and smiled and said: "I don't dare to be a hero. You must be thinking that I am a traitor and a tyrant." Qian Jiang was startled. How did the King of the West know what he was thinking?

    Xiao Yungui looked at Qianjiang with great interest. This person had extraordinary intelligence, but his psychological quality was very poor. This kind of person was easy to control. What he was most afraid of was the kind of person with a deep scheming mind. Whatever he said, his face was full of ancient wells.  If not, then I don¡¯t know what he is thinking.

    "A good counselor only needs to give advice to his master. He should not speculate on what his master is thinking." Xiao Yungui said coldly in a low voice: "And what I want is someone who is loyal. You  understand?"

    Qian Jiang nodded hurriedly. Under Xiao Yungui's strength, Qian Jiang seemed to have identified Xiao Yungui as the master.

    ???????

    Qian Jiang was very pleasantly surprised. Although he didn't know how big an official he was, he was better than being a small staff member in the Manchu Qing Dynasty. He stood up in a hurry and thanked him with a big gift. Xiao Yungui waved his hand and said with a smile:  "From now on, we are one of our own. If we can avoid these red tapes, we can avoid them. I have a headache now. Please help me, sir, to look into the details."

    Qian Jiang braced himself up and listened carefully, planning to show off his skills in front of Xiao Yungui. Xiao Yungui slowly told the story about the Guandao Gang and the Ningbo Gang taking refuge, as well as his own worries.

    After hearing this, Qian Jiang pondered for a moment and said: "The King of the West does not need to worry, this matter is easy. Since these gangs have taken refuge, the King of the West will naturally accept them. The kingdom of heaven opens wide to recruit heroes from all over. It is best to have these gangs to set an example."  Well, you must not kill one person and reject a hundred people. However, King Xi's worry is also reasonable. These gangs are rebellious, difficult to control, and difficult to hold big positions. I think this is not the case, and the gang leader can be given a high-ranking official with a generous salary and support, put him in a high cabinet, and be promoted.  Hidden surrender does not grant real power. Some of the gangs under the banner can be incorporated into the armies according to their talents, and some can be handed over to the Xiwang's confidant generals. They will still be gangs in Shanghai and govern the underworld here. In this way, the original gangs can be disbanded.  He can gain power and appease the gang members who have taken refuge, so he can kill two birds with one stone."

    Xiao Yungui touched his chin and nodded: "I have thought about doing this, but I am afraid that the gang leaders will not give up on their members."

    Qian Jiang smiled and said: "This is easy. Didn't the King of the West say that Wu Jianzhang was captured and killed by gangs? He also said that Wu Jianzhang had close contacts with foreigners. The King of the West could surely find these things if the foreigners wanted to  In the name of bad luck, the gang leaders transferred them out of Shanghai. Besides, aren't these gang leaders working hard just for the sake of glory and wealth? If they could have a comfortable life, they would not continue to live a life of licking blood on their swords.  As long as kindness and power are combined, I think these people will understand the current affairs."

    Xiao Yungui smiled evilly and said: "Yes, those gangs have offended many people by going back on their word, and I feel guilty. As long as I scare them, give them empty titles and official positions, and send them back to Suzhou to enjoy their happiness, I don't think anyone will be asking for trouble, sir."  You are indeed very clever, I admire you." Xiao Yungui and Qian Jiang looked at each other and laughed, as if wolves had found trouble.

    He followed Xiao Yungui and asked again: "By the way, the gentleman earlier said that the plan of gold was contributed by Ronglu. I am curious to know the truth."

    Qian Jiang made a sound and said: "Ronglu is rumored to be from the Zhengbai Banner of the Qing Dynasty. His father is the general Changshou, one of the four generals who died in the battle of Longliao Ridge. This man  Due to the merits of Cheng Yin's grandfather and father, he served as a palace guard, and was then sent to the south of the Yangtze River on errands. For some reason, he did not return to Beijing after completing the errands, but went to the camp in Jiangbei. After he offered Lijin's advice, he won the favor of the imperial envoy  Minister Qi Shan appreciated it, heard that Qi Shan had already submitted a memorial, and recommended Ronglu to stay in the Jiangbei camp as a military attache. Qi Shan had been in the officialdom for many years and had a wide network of contacts. It was expected that Ronglu would be released. Ronglu's move  He is only seventeen years old. It is said that he has both civil and military skills. He is able to provide valuable advice. It is expected that his intelligence is not inferior to that of the villain, and he will be a powerful enemy of the kingdom of heaven in the future. If there is a chance, he should be eliminated as soon as possible."

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? King Taiping killed the king, Xiao Yungui thought of the previous rumor that King Taiping killed the king. It seems that the current strategy must be this.Ronglu's handiwork, in history, Ronglu did not show his talent at this moment, and Ronglu's talent in history was not very high. In the end, he relied on the Empress Dowager Cixi to obtain a high position.  Even if the arrival of himself and Hong Yun'er creates a butterfly effect, Xiao Yungui believes that it is impossible to make a person much more intelligent than before. The only reasonable explanation is that this Rong Lu is most likely to have traveled through time just like himself.  Coming!  To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novels will be better and updated faster!
