Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The King of the West ordered Zuo Zongtang to prepare a grand funeral ceremony for the Heavenly King, the East King, and the brothers and sisters who died in the Tianjing Incident. Later, the days when the East King and the Heavenly King died were designated as the Heavenly Father¡¯s Ascension Festival and the Heavenly King¡¯s Ascension Day respectively.  Festival, so after the founding of the country, Chinese people had two more holidays during which they could take a holiday.

    ?Then the Western King moved to the North Palace, which was also a mountain of corpses and a sea of ??blood.  Last night, King Yan Qin Rigang and Dingtian Marquis Chen Chengrong led the elite guards deployed by the Heavenly Palace to raid the North Palace. Although there were no troops from the West Palace participating, the fighting here was no less brutal.

    The North Palace had been prepared early in the morning. Wei Changhui had planned that the soldiers and horses of the Heavenly Palace would retreat after hitting a nail. However, he did not expect that when the fighting was at its fiercest, the back door of the North Palace guarded by Zhang Chunhou, the Secretary of the North Palace, suddenly opened wide and attacked the back door.  Chen Chengrong took advantage of the situation and led his troops into the backyard of Beiwang Mansion, killing all the Northern King Wei's family, and then broke into the main hall of Beiwang Mansion. Wei Changhui was caught off guard and was beheaded on the spot by Chen Chengrong and others.  Wei Changhui died, and the North Palace soldiers were in a state of confusion. The West Palace troops also began to fire artillery to attack the city, and their morale plummeted. Then the soldiers and horses of the Tianwang Mansion massacred the North Palace soldiers.

    God is indeed fair at this moment. Most of the soldiers and horses concentrated in the North Palace are Wei Changhui's confidants. They were also the ones who killed the most people in the Tianjing Incident. They were also massacred last night. Sure enough, they still received retribution.

    Qin Rigang and Chen Chengrong were also jealous. Even when the West Palace army broke into the Beiwang Mansion area, they fought with the West Palace Army, and ended up being severely beaten by the West Palace Army.  Then Qin Rigang and Chen Chengrong came to their senses, hurriedly restrained their subordinates, and sent people to contact the generals of the West Palace Army.

    After that, the West Palace Army brought the order of the King of the West, asking them to wait on the spot, so Qin Rigang, Chen Chengrong and others took their troops and waited at the North King's Mansion until the King of the West arrived.

    Xiao Yungui's majestic Chinese character face was very solemn. When he saw Wei Changhui's head presented by Qin Rigang and Chen Chengrong, he turned back to Han Baoying and said: "The great enemy of Yidian is dead. I didn't break my promise."

    Han Baoying burst into tears instantly.  Hiding her face and crying bitterly, Hong Yun'er stepped forward to comfort him. Xiao Yungui waved his hand and said: "After reporting the head of the Northern traitor to all the sects, send someone to King Yi of Wuchang! Then rehabilitate Zhao Xue for King Dong,  Tell the world about Wei Changhui's false edicts and rebellion, the massacre of Yidian, etc.! Wei Changhui is the biggest sinner in the kingdom of heaven!" With these words, the King of the West wanted to overturn the case for the King of the East and completely find a scapegoat for the Tianjing Incident, although many people knew that the murderer  Dong Wang means Heavenly King.  But many soldiers and civilians in the Kingdom of Heaven still don¡¯t know the inside story. Of course, the King of the West cannot blame the King of Heaven. Doing so will also implicate the King of the East in forcing Feng Long live. Therefore, the best official conclusion is that the King of the North, Wei Changhui, committed rebellion and corrected the imperial edict.  Kill the King of the East and murder the King of Wing.  Finally, he attacked the Heavenly King's Mansion and killed the Heavenly King, so that everything was concluded.  Although this may not necessarily cover up all the facts, it at least provides an explanation to the public.

    Zuo Zongtang reminded from behind: "His Royal Highness the King of the West, Wei Jun, the king of the North Palace, still has 100,000 troops in Luzhou. Shouldn't he press too hard on the North Palace for the time being? I'm afraid that Wei Jun is worried about being implicated by Wei Changhui and is in a hurry.  Then he voted for the Manchus."

    Xiao Yungui was silent for a moment and then said slowly: "I will give Wei Jun a personal letter to persuade him to surrender. In fact, many people in the North Palace are also innocent. But if Wei Jun persists, I will not hesitate to send troops to Luzhou. True loyalty  A wise man will be loyal and never betray no matter what he encounters, but if there is someone with evil intentions, no matter how kind you are to him, he will still betray you!"

    Only Hong Yun'er understood the following words. Wei Jun did surrender to the Qing Dynasty in history and was named a general.  He was stationed in Chizhou, Anhui, and lived in seclusion in Wuhu, Anhui in his later years. After his death, he was buried in Xuancheng, Anhui. A traitor had a good death.  Although Wei Jun's surrender to the Qing Dynasty in history was also forced by Tianjing, in general the King of Heaven still had high hopes for Wei Jun. Wei Jun was also one of the famous generals in the later period of the Kingdom of Heaven, and finally surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.  This shows that his will is not firm, so Xiao Yungui decided to give him a chance. If Wei Jun still hesitates and makes conditions after receiving the personal letter, Xiao Yungui will not hesitate to mobilize troops to deal with this hidden danger.

    So Wei Changhui is the same as in history.  Being made a scapegoat, saying that he was wronged is a bit unfair. After all, it was the King of Heaven who wanted to eradicate the King of the East. Without the support of the King of Heaven, Wei Changhui would not have dared to kill the King of the East even if he had a hundred courages. The instigator of all this was Hong Xiuquan himself.  Because of the ridiculous taboo of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom¡¯s doctrine of worshiping God, Hong Xiuquan believed that the only one who could be called emperor was Heavenly Father, so he retreated to the next best thing and only called himself king. After becoming king, he created five more kings in Yong¡¯an, which in itself was  It's a bit like co-governance, but Hong Xiuquan, a scholar, didn't understand that co-governance might be useful in peacetime, but it became a time bomb in wartime.

    Rebels have always had a speculative mentality, especially for talented people like Yang Xiuqing who still have some strategic vision.After entering Tianjing, they will inevitably become corrupted quickly, and then they will compete for power with their own people.  Among the six chief righteous kings of the Kingdom of Heaven, Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly King, could have controlled the power and restrained the other kings. However, he lived in seclusion in the palace all year round and ignored political affairs, leaving King Dong to act as director. This loss of power would inevitably lead to conflicts between the political power and the religious power, and intensify the  The conflicts among the kings intensified, and the Tianjing Incident became inevitable.

    Wei Changhui said he was not unjust because he killed too many people during the incident after receiving the King's decree, and the expanded killings implicated so many people that he couldn't stop even if he wanted to.  All the reasons were due to the over-dispersed power of several princes, which made them all rely on themselves. After Wei Changhui killed Yang Xiuqing, he was naturally afraid that the East Palace would raise troops for revenge. Naturally, he had to kill more people to eliminate the hidden danger, and finally killed King Yi, so Wei Changhui  It's like gambling your life on it.

    Looking at the devastated Beiwang Mansion, Xiao Yungui sighed softly and murmured to himself: "Your tragedy is that you became a murderer. The right way is to hide the bird behind the bow. Even if you didn't kill too much in the end, Hong Xiuquan finally wanted to appease Dong.  Those people in the palace will still push you out to die."

    Zuo Zongtang stepped forward and said: "Your Highness, Feng Zicai from the Second Division has come to report that the last Shuixi Gate has also fallen into our control, and all the North Palace Army in Tianjing City has been wiped out."

    Xiao Yungui hummed. Last night, he was originally worried that the North Palace soldiers would fight to the death, but in the end he found that the North Palace soldiers had no intention of fighting at all. Except for the fierce resistance from Bei Wang's confidants in the North Palace, the other garrison guards were all on the lookout.  Surrendered, more than 20,000 of the more than 30,000 soldiers and horses of the North Palace surrendered. Among the generals of the North Palace, more than ten were killed in the battle from the Northern King Wei Changhui on down. Dozens of Beidian Shangshu Zhang Chunhou and counselor Liu Naixin surrendered, and Tianjing surrendered.  The power of the North Palace no longer exists.

    The Tianwang Palace also suffered heavy casualties. The Hong family lineage from Hong Xiuquan down was almost wiped out. In addition to Hong Renfa and the young king Hong Tianguifu, many of the Hong family's relatives were also massacred, leaving Hong family members such as Zhong Fangli and others.  After Zhong Fangli was forced to commit suicide, the family members were all afraid of being settled by the queen and stayed behind closed doors. Since then, the power of the Heavenly King in Tianjing City has also been in decline.

    In addition to the forces of the East Palace and the Wing Palace that had been massacred by the North Palace before, after the Tianjing Incident, people were surprised to find that a huge power vacuum appeared in Tianjing City, and the strong return of the Western King seemed to be  To fill this vacuum.

    ??Then the West Palace began an orderly follow-up plan to restore order in Tianjing, improve the livelihood of the military and civilians, create public opinion, eliminate the impact of the Tianjing Incident, etc.  Although everything is not so easy to accomplish, fortunately, Sufu Province has its own complete administrative system and strong military force as a guarantee, and it also has abundant funds as a backing. Everything is going as it should.  The way it develops.

    On the third day after the King of the West entered the Tianjing City, the King of the West led the civil and military officials of the Kingdom of Heaven as well as numerous soldiers and civilians, a total of tens of thousands of people, to hold a grand funeral for the King of Heaven and the King of the East in the square outside the King of Heaven's Mansion.  With the burial of Hong Xiuquan, the Kingdom of Heaven seems to have opened a new chapter.

    Tianjing Xiaguan is at the foot of the Shogunate Mountain. This Shogunate Mountain once witnessed the shame of the Opium War. It was here that the British army landed, and then threatened to capture Nanjing, and finally forced the Manchus to sign the Treaty of Nanjing.

    It is getting late, and you can see the Yangtze River from Mufu Mountain. Under the afterglow of the setting sun, there is an endless stream of cargo ships traveling between Shanghai, Zhenjiang and Tianjing. After Tianjing was embraced by the West Palace, it still represents the West  The palace completely opened up the golden waterway of the Yangtze River, and commerce and freight from Shanghai to various inland areas could be shipped through the Shanghai-Wuchang section of the Yangtze River controlled by the Taiping Army.  Inland firms such as He Yuanlun of the Baoqing Chamber of Commerce in Wuchang and Zhu Changling, Wei Helin and other firms in Shanghai finally realized business contacts, so there was such a busy scene on the Yangtze River.

    On the riverside close to the foot of Shogunate Mountain, a smaller awning boat was parked here. There were no lights on the boat after dark. The two people on the boat were looking at the West Palace armed sentry patrolling back and forth on the river in horror.  Boat, these two people are Hong Renfa and Hong Tianguifu who escaped from Tianjing City in makeup.

    "Uncle, can we go to Wuchang to find King Yi?"

    "I don't know. It seems impossible to go to King Yi. Yang Fuqing was also wiped out by the King of the West. We seem to have no place to go." Hong Renfa ran out of ideas. He didn't expect that there would be so many ships from the West Palace.  Heading to Wuchang, could it be that King Yi had already colluded with King Xi?  However, Yang Fuqing's troops had already disappeared. At this time, Hong Renfa discovered that the most terrifying person was actually King Xi, who had blocked their escape route.

    "Then where are we going?"

    "How about we go to Shanghai, transfer to Hong Kong, and join your other uncle Hong Renxuan!"

    "Uncle, I see that the King of the West is sending people everywhere to look for us these days. Maybe we can go back to the King of the West."?It won¡¯t do anything to us.  "

    Hong Renfa said angrily with red eyes: "Young King, please wake up. There are no two gods in the sky and no two masters in the people. That King of the West will not allow us to go back. Don't look at the hypocritical announcements he has made in the past few days to find us. As long as  We will be killed if we show up!"

    "But how do we get to Hong Kong?"

    "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. There will always be a way. Let's wait until dark and go down the river. We will go to Shanghai first. There are many foreign brothers there. Maybe we can get to Hong Kong"
