Chapter 369 Who is the next Zhu Yuanzhang? (Please order and vote)
The Tianjing Golden Dragon City was shrouded in silence at night, and the imperial road leading to the Sun Gate was dark. Suddenly, a carriage was seen turning from the corner of the street, and the lanterns gave off a pale yellow halo in the night.
The carriage is a broken carriage and the horse is a crossbow horse, but it can travel unimpeded in the inner city of Tianjing under curfew.
The carriage drove to a stop in front of the dismounting monument outside the Sun Gate, and a man in black robe got out. He was in his thirties or forties, with a rough face, thick eyebrows and a beard. He was Hong Daquan.
Although it was Hong Daquan's first time to enter Tianjing, and he had not been a central figure in the power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom before, a female official holding a lantern outside the Sun Gate recognized him: "The King of Heaven has a decree, please Guozong to follow me into the city."
Hong Daquan glanced at the female official. She had snow-white skin and three-dimensional facial features, and she looked like rice.
"Guozong..." Hong Daquan muttered, then nodded to Daozi: "Lead the way!"
Dao Zi hugged Hong Daquan, turned around, and walked into Golden Dragon City through a half-open side door. Hong Daquan walked five feet behind her and entered Golden Dragon City one after another. The Taiping soldiers guarding the door stood in awe.
He didn't move, as if he didn't see these two people.
After entering the city, Daozi did not take Hong Daquan to the Sun Palace. Instead, he walked along the city wall for a while until he reached a corner of the Sun City. Through the moonlight, Hong Daquan saw that there was indeed a turret standing on the top of the city wall.
, there are lights flashing inside the building.
Daozi climbed up the wall here and went up the stairs. Hong Daquan followed suit. When he walked up the city wall, he saw Daozi had opened the door of the turret. There were lights on inside and a man wearing a hood was sitting at the table.
Tap your fingertips lightly on the table.
Although he hadn't seen him for two or three years, Hong Daquan recognized him at a glance. He was Hong Xiuquan, the King of Heaven.
Hong Daquan secretly said: "This Golden Dragon City belongs to Hong Xiuquan, but he wants to see me in the corner tower at midnight. It seems that he is still the same as when he was in Yong'an, without much real power."
Hong Daquan gathered his thoughts, quickly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted: "See the King of Heaven!"
"Daizi, close the door."
Hong Xiuquan ordered Daozi to close the door of the turret, and he stood up and took two steps: "I am very satisfied with Daozi! Tell me, what official do you want?"
"I am now the Archbishop of the Japanese Diocese of the Catholic Church. I have developed many believers in Japan. I am also considered to be a high-ranking official. I do not want to be another official for the time being."
Hong Daquan left Japan quietly this time. Luo Yaoguo just threw him to Japan and gave him a large sum of money and 100,000 copies of the "True Testament" printed in Shanghai, allowing him to make trouble in Japan, and then
I don't pay much attention to him anymore.
Therefore, he has a high degree of freedom, and no one will bother him when he travels around Japan - preaching and instigating civil war. Of course, he cannot clock in every day, and secret activities are inevitable.
Moreover, his KPIs have also been completed well. He has helped Luo Yaoguo contact Shimazu Qibin and Iwakura Tomoshi, and even went to Kyoto to secretly meet Emperor Tongren, although the latter did not admit that Hong Xiuquan was his elder.
, but did not deny it, and even accepted the gifts from "Hong Ancestor" - including the "True Covenant" and a large sum of gold (actually obtained from the compensation paid by the shogunate).
Reporting this result to Luo Yaoguo is enough.
Hong Xiuquan paused and said softly: "Really? Then what are you planning?"
"I only want to do my best for the King of Heaven and the Kingdom of Heaven, but I have nothing to ask for." Hong Daquan said respectfully.
"Oh, then what do you think of the situation between me and the Kingdom of Heaven now?" Hong Xiuquan asked, "Where else can you use your meager strength?"
Hong Daquan immediately said: "Today's Kingdom is comparable to the Han and Song Dynasties before the Three Routes of Northern Expedition! And Your Majesty...\n.\n.\n.\n.\nis comparable to Liu Futong and King Xiao Ming!
My humble efforts may be able to help the Kingdom of Heaven become the Ming Dynasty, and your Majesty to become the Ming Taizu.”
Hong Xiuquan looked at Hong Daquan, as if waiting for him to continue.
Hong Daquan said slowly: "Back then, before the Three-Road Northern Expedition, Liu Futong and Han Lin'er had established their capital in Bianliang, nominally occupying most of Henan, the entire Shandong, most of Anhui and half of Jiangsu. It was no bigger than the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom today.
Huang Duo gave in. And Mao Gui, Mr. Guan, Po Tou Pan, Li Wu, Cui De, Zhu Yuanzhang and others were not much worse than the kings of the Kingdom of Heaven today. But Liu Futong made a mistake and blindly launched the attack without integrating the internal affairs.
Three-way Northern Expedition.
Liu Futong may have wanted to use the victory of the Northern Expedition to unite the internal forces and become the common leader of the world. However, due to the internal disunity, the power could not be used in one place, and he failed in the end. Both Liu and Han served as stepping stones for Zhu Yuanzhang!
The King of Heaven…has learned from the past and is the guide for future events!”
Hong Xiuquan's brows wrinkled slightly.
His current wishful thinking is actually the Northern Expedition first, and then integration. As long as he can succeed in the Northern Expedition, overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty, capture Beijing, unify the world, and become the leader of creation, his prestige will be extremely high. Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui,
Luo Yaoguo and Feng Yunshan are still not allowed to surrender? When the time comes, it will be a great grace to seize their power and imprison and raise them.
"I am the son of Heavenly Father!" Hong Xiuquan said loudly: "How can Liu Futong and Han Lin'er compare?"
Hong Daquan paused and said: "The King of the East, the King of the South, the King of the North, and the King of Wing are also the sons of Heavenly Father, the King of Wu is the adopted son of Heavenly Father, and the King of the West is the son-in-law of Heavenly Father...\n.\n..\n.\
The next Zhu Yuanzhang may be among them!"
Hong Xiuquan's expression changed, showing suspicion, unwillingness and uneasiness.
He asked Hong Daquan: "According to your wishes, I should get rid of them first?"
Hong Daquan shook his head and said slowly: "No! If Liu Futong gets rid of Mao Gui, Mr. Guan, Po Tou Pan, Zhu Yuanzhang and others, who will compete with Richard Khan, Polo Timur and the like? Liu Futong should
Turn Mao Gui, Mr. Guan, Po Tou Pan, Zhu Yuanzhang and others into Xu Da,
Chang Yuchun, Hu Dahai...:...we must firmly control them and use them for our own benefit, so that we can sweep the world!"
"That's easy to say!" Hong Xiuquan said with a wry smile, "What can I do to turn them all into my Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, and Hu Dahai?"
People who have already been Zhu Yuanzhang are still willing to be Xu Da, Chang Yuchun, or Hu Dahai?
"In fact, it's not difficult," Hong Daquan said, "Now the King of Heaven is not without strength. You still have the Yu Lin Army, the King of the North's right army is still following you, and the King of Yi's left army is not completely out of your control.
\n.\n.\n.\n. The King of the East, the King of the West, the King of the South, and the King of Wu do not intend to break up with you.
As long as you are smart, it will not be difficult to conquer them one by one."
"Oh? What should I do?" Hong Xiuquan asked.
In fact, what he lacks most as a king is clever methods!
Not to mention compared with Zhu Yuanzhang in this aspect, he was more than one rank behind Liu Futong.
After all, among Mao Gui, Mr. Guan, Po Tou Pan, and Zhu Yuanzhang, only Zhu Yuanzhang replaced Han and Song Dynasty after his death. The others were all loyal to Han and Song Dynasty.
Hong Xiuquan, on the other hand, played his own tricks and caused the Tianjing Incident, and then forced Shi Dakai away, which greatly damaged the vitality of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
"King of Heaven," Hong Daquan said, "you should pull one faction, suppress another faction, stabilize one faction, and fight another faction."
"Tell me more specifically." Hong Xiuquan asked, "Who should I pull?"
"King Nan!" Hong Daquan said, "King Nan is the most loyal to the King of Heaven..::..And he has no ability to speak on behalf of Heavenly Father or speak on behalf of Heavenly Brother and to contact Heavenly Brother, so he poses no threat to you."
Hong Xiuquan nodded: "The mountain compatriot is indeed loyal...but now he is interested in Guangdong and Guangxi, and has no intention of going north."
Hong Daquan smiled and said: "He intends to win over Guangdong and Guangxi, but he has been unable to succeed...\n.\n.\n.\n. I think it is better to invite him to Tianjing to assist the government and let King Yi go to Guangdong and Guangxi. In this way,
Come, King Nan can be used by the King of Heaven, and King Yi can also have a place to make achievements, isn't it the best of both worlds?"
Feng Yunshan's fighting skills are indeed poor, and the landowners and gentry in Guangdong bought a lot of foreign guns after the rise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In addition, armed fighting was common in northern Guangdong, and the people all lived in castle-like enclosures.
Living together in groups is very difficult.
Because Feng Yunshan was nestled in a mountainous area in Hunan, although his territory was not small, it was difficult to obtain foreign guns, his troops were poorly equipped, and he himself was not very good at fighting, so he struggled for two years and failed to win Guangdong and Guangxi. Instead, he cooperated with Shi Da to open the army.
Captured some state capitals in Jiangxi.
"King Yi wants to open a palace now!" Hong Xiuquan said displeased.
"Let him open it," Hong Daquan said, "Let him open a mansion in Guangzhou!"
Hong Xiuquan twirled his beard and was silent for a while: "Who are you suppressing?"
"Suppress the King of Wu!" Hong Daquan said, "The King of Wu is suspected of being a sorcerer...:.. This is the perfect opportunity for King Nan to step in and suppress him, so that he can stay in Suzhou and Shanghai and not interfere with the world.
It’s about Beijing. If he doesn’t come...\n:.\n.\n.\nNo one can summon the True Ji Governor to come down to earth! This way the King of the West can be stable."
Hong Xiuquan smiled and said: "Then...if we fight one faction, it must be the Dongwang faction?"
