Yang Xiuqing twirled his sparse beard and murmured to himself: "It's just as I thought...but now there are some differences among the Taiping Army on where to go to find a little paradise!"
"I know," Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "Some people want to go south to run Guangdong and Guangxi, some want to go west to Sichuan and become Liu Huang's uncle, and some want to go all the way north to the land of Youyan!"
Yang Xiuqing nodded, then raised her hand and pointed to a row of chairs in the room, and said to Xiao Chaogui, Hong Xuanjiao, and Luo Yaoguo: "Brother-in-law, your sixth sister, and your eighth brother, please sit down!"
Seeing that the three of them were seated, Yang Xiuqing called out "Tea" again, and four female officials from the East Palace immediately brought four bowls of hot tea.
Yang Xiuqing picked up the hot tea that was served to him, took a sip to moisten his throat, then spat the tea foam on the ground, and then asked slowly: "Buddy, what do you think Brother Yu should do to convince everyone to focus on Jinling?" "
Hearing Yang Xiuqing's question, Luo Yaoguo knew that he was "right" again! The current Yang Xiuqing was not the "God Yang" who was so majestic and proud after entering Jinling City and thought he kept his word.
The current King Yang Dong is just the "fourth brother who takes the lead". Although he has a great say, Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui also have a small say. Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai are also "sons of God" and also have a certain say. Even Hu Yi Huang, Qin Rigang's words also have some weight, and they are considered two "candidates". And Luo Yaoguo, who has the status of "God's adopted son" and an angel with 4,000 years of age, naturally also has some say.
The current Kingdom of Heaven is neither decided by King Hong Tian nor by King Yang Dong, but by God’s son, son-in-law, daughter, and godson, a family that is not related by blood and is in charge of everything together.
It’s a bit like collective leadership!
Among this "family", except for Luo Yaoguo, who "airborne" and currently does not have his own team, everyone else has a group of younger brothers behind them.
However, Luo Yaoguo is not afraid of these "family members" who have many soldiers. After all, under the hype of Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan, his identity as the adopted son of God and an airborne angel has been confirmed. He is a "general consultant" who has come down from heaven!
"Fourth brother," Luo Yaoguo said with a smile, "Do we, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, want a small paradise, or the whole world?"
Yang Xiuqing put down the tea bowl and waved her hand: "I want them all!"
Luo Yaoguo provoked Brother Thumb: "Fourth brother, you are wise! You are so wise! Running a small paradise and conquering the world are two things that are one and the same!
If our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot conquer the world, then the happiness of the little paradise will not last long after all! Therefore, if we want to focus on the little paradise, we must have the attitude of determination to conquer the world. Only by letting the demons of the Qing Dynasty be overwhelmed and fortified everywhere can we, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, have our own. A little paradise on earth.
Otherwise, with only an isolated city in hand, Qing Yao can mobilize all the financial, material, and military resources in the world to encircle and suppress it. Outside this small paradise is Qing Yao's army... Is this still a small paradise?
Fourth brother, you can think so long-term, I really admire you!"
Is this what I thought? This is obviously what you said!
Yang Xiuqing is a sensible person, so of course he knows that Luo Yaoguo is teaching him how to do things!
However, Luo Yaoguo is better at being a person, which gives him enough face, and his analysis is also very reasonable, and he is the same as him in the general direction.
So Yang Xiuqing had no choice but to hold on to his beard and pretend to be an expert, and put on the "high hat" handed to him by Luo Yaoguo.
Seeing that Yang Xiuqing was silent, Hong Xuanjiao quickly winked at her husband Xiao Chaogui. Xiao Chaogui only seemed loyal, but in fact he was quite smart at heart. Of course he knew what "dedicated to Jinling" meant.
Yang Xiuqing was not willing to divide his troops, so he wanted to unite tens of thousands of people to seize Jinling City and make it a little paradise.
Xiao Chaogui was aroused by Luo Yaoguo to become the "Lord of the Three Towns of Wuhan" - this meant that the troops would be divided!
The meaning of what Luo Yaoguo said just now seems to be that he advocated the establishment of separate base areas. But if the troops are divided too much, will the main force be too weak?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chaogui frowned and asked Luo Yaoguo: "Eighth brother, we only have tens of thousands of people at hand, and among them, we only have 30,000 capable soldiers. Can we rely on this small number of troops to focus on Jinling while taking on the posture of sweeping the world? ?」
Yang Xiuqing squinted one eye and glanced at Luo Yaoguo, obviously waiting for his answer.
Luo Yaoguo originally came to talk to Yang Xiuqing about this, and he immediately counted on his fingers and said: "Brother-in-law, although our Taiping Army only has 30,000 or 40,000 people, the whole world cannot survive. There are more than a thousand strong men who can only rise up to survive." Ten thousand?
As far as I know, the number of Tiandihui disciples and poor people who cannot live in Hunan alone who want to rebel is not less than a million, right? As long as we can mobilize them, we will have as many soldiers as we need. ?」
Yang Xiuqing said "Oh" and remained noncommittal.
Luo Yaoguo had long known that Yang Xiuqing had always had concerns about mobilizing Tiandihui disciples to join the Taiping Army.
This may be because the Tiandihui is loosely organized, with mixed personnel, good and bad, and many internal hilltops. Many followers are not firm in their anti-Qing stance. When the Taiping Army first rose up, some members of the Tiandihui who had already joined the Taiping Army rebelled and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty. The demon is gone.
However, the Hunan Tiandihui is very powerful and has been fighting against the Qing Yao. Many of its disciples have certain military experience. By recruiting them into the group, the strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be quickly strengthened.
Historically, the Taiping Army lost troops and generals in the Battle of Reiyidu, so they had to relax the "entry threshold" after conquering Daozhou, and attracted a large number of Tiandihui members to join the army. Later, the Taiping Army expanded rapidly in a short period of time, mostly because of this group of fresh blood. of joining.
Seeing that Yang Xiuqing did not immediately deny his proposal, Luo Yaoguo felt that it was funny, so he continued to persuade: "Although the disciples of Tiandihui are good and bad, they are not incapable of being used. When the fourth brother was in Jintian Village, he won over many Tiandihui. Party members of the Hui? Such as Su Sanniang, Luo Gangyou, Wu Ruxiao, Bian Sanniang and others are all from the Tiandi Hui. Aren't they all generals of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom now?
In Hunan, in addition to the heroes who have joined the Tiandi Society, there are also many poor people who have not joined the Tiandi Society. Like the children of the Kingdom of Heaven from Zijin Mountain, they are looking forward to someone leading them to rebel and kill and eat everyone. Qingyao, go and be a founding hero!
Back then, didn’t Third Brother organize a large gathering to worship God and recruit the poor people in the Bauhinia Mountains and the heroes of the Heaven and Earth Society to become the pillars of our Kingdom of Heaven? Now, why doesn’t our Kingdom of Heaven apply this method to Huguang? We held a large-scale worship meeting. The Assembly of God will turn the Tiandihui members and poor people in Huguang into generals and pillars of the Kingdom of Heaven?"
Yang Xiuqing said "Oh" noncommittally, rolled one of his intact eyes, and asked: "Badi, do you mean to hold a large-scale worship service at the junction of Hunan, Guangdong and Guangxi provinces in southern Hunan?" Will the Tiandihui disciples and poor farmers take them to carve out a base?"
"Fourth brother Shengming!" Luo Yaoguo nodded with a smile and gave a sincere compliment.
Yang Xiuqing laughed and seemed to be very useful, but then he frowned and said to himself: "But who can be worthy of the great responsibility of leading the God Worship Association to open up a base in Hunan?"
He asked himself a question, and then twitching his beard, he answered: "Looking at our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it seems that there is only one person with such great talent, Third Brother!"
Yang Xiuqing raised his eyes and looked at Luo Yaoguo: "Eighth brother, what do you think?"
You are so good, Eastern King Yang Xiuqing! You are trying to take advantage of the opportunity to open up a base in Hunan to exclude Southern King Feng Yunshan from the center of power in the Kingdom of Heaven!
From now on, Xiao Chaogui will guard Hubei and Feng Yunshan will guard Hunan. If you find an opportunity to squeeze out this angel, you will be the only one in charge of the central government in Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing. Then you can force Long live Feng, or even seek to usurp the throne. Okay...Okay! Let’s do this for now!
When Luo Yaoguo thought of this, he nodded with a smile and said, "Fourth brother is right! Indeed, only third brother can take on this important responsibility!"
Yang Xiuqing glanced at Xiao Chaogui again.
Xiao Chaogui said with a smile: "This is great. From now on, my third brother and I will guard Hunan and Hubei respectively, while my fourth brother and eighth brother will be the right-hand men of the Emperor!"
Yang Xiuqing laughed loudly: "Since your brother-in-law also means this, then let's do it!"
He suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Luo Yaoguo's wrist, and said to Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao: "Brother-in-law, Sixth Sister, you go ahead. I still have something to ask Eighth Brother!"
When Xiao Chaogui and Hong Xuanjiao heard what Yang Xiuqing said, they hurriedly said goodbye and exited the house.
Luo Yaoguo didn't understand what Yang Xiuqing wanted to ask, so he looked at him with a smile.
Yang Xiuqing asked with a smile: "Eighth brother, how do you open the two-month cake box you brought from heaven? Do you need to recite some spell?"
What's the meaning?
