The shouts of killing in Tianjing lasted all night. From when there were some fires rising from all over the place. The fires burned ragingly, illuminating the nearby streets so that the two armies would not have a random killing...

Bao Chao didn't know how many big swords he had changed, and it was the first time he felt so tired to kill someone.

"Fengshan, how are you there?"

Zhou Fengshan didn't know whether to be happy or upset, and said in a stern voice: "Most of the entire division was injured and killed, less than 2,000 people, and at least 8,000 enemies were killed. In addition, some people who resisted, there were almost more than 10,000 people. The outer city was captured by us, and the corpse collection team almost came up."

Bao Chao knew what the people who resisted at Zhou Fengshankou meant, either Taipingtian countries or wealthy families in the city. The soldiers were so angry that they wanted to rob the high-ranking families when they saw them.

"I'm almost the same here, I'll kill everyone I can see."

Zhou Fengshan smiled and said, "The general is still the foresighted and put all the Han army supervisors outside the city. Otherwise, they would yell at us when they saw us behaved like this."

Bao Chao waved his hand to the back, and in an instant, more than a dozen messengers scattered one after another, saying, "It's almost time, and it's dawn in another half an hour. We should also enter the inner city. We must capture Hong Xiuquan, the thief, alive today."

After a brief rest, the soldiers of the Hunan Army gathered together according to the organization, and pairs of reorganized soldiers moved forward one after another, and some lost Hunan Army soldiers also took the opportunity to join in.

"The imperial edict has arrived!"

In the Hunan Army camp outside the city, more than a dozen knights shouted while snatching the horses.

In just one stick of incense, Zeng Guofan prepared the incense case and led the staff and generals to receive the order.

The official who announced the edict carefully stepped forward and said to Zeng Guofan: "Sir, the emperor has an oral order, let the edict stand up and receive the edict."

Zeng Guofan knew that the Han Dynasty had the ceremony of kneeling and knocking, but he did not refuse. He led the soldiers to stand up and bent down at the incense table.

"The imperial edict says: Sichuan is the country of Tianfu, and Yucheng is the same. Lord Zeng should not ignore the tens of millions of people, and should not slaughter surrendered generals at will, nor should they insult the people. God has the virtue of being a virtuous person, and I suddenly feel my wish. Hong Xiuquan is my student. You cannot kill him. If he wants to commit suicide, let him commit suicide in public to avoid doubts in the army... I admire this!"

Zeng Guofan took the imperial edict with both hands and sang: "I received the imperial edict!"

After arranging the edict, Chen Shijie asked quickly: "Sir, what does the emperor mean? Hong Xiuquan is good at bewitching people's hearts. If we go around his fate, I'm afraid there will be no peace in the world."

Zeng Guofan agreed with this sentence very much, carefully pondered the meaning of the imperial edict, and forgot to answer for a while.

Zeng Guohua couldn't help but remind: "Brother, you're saying something. Now it's dawn. The outer city must have been captured. Only Hong Xiuquan's Heavenly King's Mansion is left. The brothers are still waiting to get rich. If they go around Hong Xiuquan, he... will definitely not work. It's better to kill him. There is no evidence to die. Who knows how many we have taken!"

After hearing what Zeng Guohua said, Zeng Guofan wondered why the Han army could not violate the crime when it broke through Yanjing. He heard that the palace had not entered, but only sent hundreds of people to patrol the palace. Isn’t these poor people joining the army just for money? It’s really strange that they don’t steal or rob when they arrive in the flower world. Why can’t the Hunan Army be able to do it? No one in the army is afraid of death, but he knows that everyone is holding their anger to break through Tianjing and rob his mother!

Chen Shijie then advised: "Hong Xiuquan cannot be kept. Whether it is starving to death, or terrifying to death, I can find out so many reasons if I don't believe it."

Chen Shijie never thought that Hong Xiuquan would commit suicide. He believed that others committed suicide, but Hong Xiuquan was only extravagant [***], marrying a wife and taking concubines, is the most afraid of death, so how could he commit suicide!

Zeng Guofan ordered: "Send the order and do not kill Hong Xiuquan's family."

Zeng Guohua said disappointedly: "Then...ah! I thought I could make a fortune, but I didn't expect that my brothers would die a lot, but there was no benefit. Who would still fight if this continues? Wouldn't it be better for everyone to go home to farm!"

There were all Hunan Army members around him, and Zeng Guofan was not afraid of being exposed. He smiled and said, "It is not easy to die in Hong Xiuquan. Didn't the imperial edict say that Hong Xiuquan should commit suicide in public to appease the hearts of the people and the morale of the army. In this way, the theory of worshiping God's religion will be destroyed without conquering the cult ideas, and the ideas of cults will disappear."

Zeng Guohua said: "Brother intends to threaten his family? I am afraid that he will love himself more than love his family."

"You don't have to say anything, I'll plan freely then."

Since Hong Xiuquan captured Yucheng, he has been repairing the royal palace at all times. He made the Sichuan Governor's Office look like a palace, with high strength around it and strong city walls. The materials are all according to the standards of Yanjing city walls. The walls are covered with cannons plundered everywhere, and tens of thousands of soldiers guarding it, which is as solid as a god.

Lai Wenguang looked at the dense crowd under the wall and smiled bitterly: "Fu Wang, the king still won't see us! What do you think we should do? Maybe only the king of heaven believes that he can guard the palace."

Chen Decai had made up his mind to live and die with Hong Xiuquan, and said solemnly: "I am an ordinary countryman. I am not covered in clothes and food, but I am all taken care of by the king. I have now made up my mind to live and die with the city. What do Brother Lai think?"

Lai Wenguang said perfunctorily: "Very good! Very good! We rely on the king to get to this day, and it is worth it to die."

With his eyes narrowed Chen Decai, Lai Wenguang knew that he dared to say no, and that his head would definitely fall to the ground. Zuo San checked how Wang Xiang died.

Lai Wenguang said intimately: You, Chen Decai, have nowhere to go. When Zijing Mountain chased the Han King, you would have no choice but to surrender. But I am the former subordinate of Shi Dakai, the wing king. Shi Dakai has already become the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou in the Han Dynasty. It is another future for me to surrender. I don’t even want me to be with the burial gate. I originally wanted to help you. Since you, Chen Decai, insisted on doing this, don’t blame me for not talking about brotherly ties.

Chen Decai did not doubt Lai Wenguang at all, and even encouraged him with relief.

Lai Wenguang took the opportunity to say, "Your Highness, there are only two of us in the North City now, and the Hunan Army outside the city puts the main force in the North City. It is obvious that they want to feint attack the other three gates and the North Gate. In order to ensure that there is no accident, we take turns to be on duty. You go down and rest first. After two hours, you will come for me."

Chen Decai felt that this method was very good and smiled and said, "You should go down and rest first, I'll stay here."

Lai Wenguang was afraid that Chen De would be suspicious, so he immediately agreed and brought a few guards down the city wall.

Under the city, Bao Chao raised his glasses, looked at the North City, and asked Zhou Fengshan beside him: "Is this Lai who is teasing us and saying surrender, why is there no movement in the city?"

Zhou Fengshan couldn't figure it out. An hour ago, a soldier dressed in the Hunan Army found them and said that their master Lai Wenguang was willing to surrender and opened the North City to let them enter the city. But until now, the North City is quiet and there is no intention of surrendering.

Bao Chao cursed: "Compared with the North City, it is better to attack Dongcheng. Is this a trick to suspect soldiers in the city, and it is so delaying time and waiting for reinforcements... Zhiniang thief, where did they come from reinforcements? No matter how I look at it, it seems like I'm waiting to die."

Zhou Fengshan said: "So I believe that Lai Wenguang is not a false surrender. Since he is Shi Dakai's subordinate, there is a reason to surrender. I just don't know when he will take action. If we wait until night, hehe, we will stand under the city for a day, even if he opens the city gate, we will not dare to enter!"

Bao Chao blinked and said seriously: "How about Brother Zhou bringing your people down first and we take turns to guard it. What do you think of this method?"

Zhou Fengshan curled his lips and teased, "If you take off your pants, I will know what you are fartting. I want to go down and rest. If the city gate is not open, the benefits are not yours alone. Don't rush to say it first. Listen to me, hehe, when I finish resting, you can go back and rest, and 80% will still stand here."

Zeng Guobao hurried over with the token in his hand. When he said to Zhou Fengshan, Bao Chao said, "I just came down with an imperial edict. The emperor has his own decree. Do not disturb the people or commit prisoners without authorization, including Hong Xiuquan's family."

Bao Chao touched his smooth head and cursed: "It's too time for the imperial edict to come. We just wanted to break the city when the imperial edict came. There is no such coincidence in the world. This must be fake... Humph!"

Zeng Guobao advised: "Chunting is careful, you forgot that there is an army next to us! The imperial edict is probably the one they did!"

Zhou Fengshan's eyes were red and he asked, "Then we still act in accordance with the order? There are many treasures in the city. Hong Xiuquan has traveled across several provinces and occupied Sichuan for so many years. All the gold, silver and treasures he has plundered are there."

Zeng Guobao laughed in a low voice: "The Marshal said that as long as it is not too much, keep some contacts, and the rest can be handled at the discretion."

Zeng Guobao was in a good mood. At least 30% of the gold and silver that were greedy would flow into their Zeng family, and he also had one of them in public. The more you grab, the more you get.

Lai Wenguang had no rest at all. He brought all his confidants and went up to the city wall together. He said to Chen Decai: "Your Highness, I'll change you. You have to rest as long as the Han army has not attacked the city."

After not resting for several nights in a row, and the Han army did not attack the city, Chen Decai was already exhausted, and immediately yawned and said, "Please trouble Brother Lai."

Chen Decai left, Lai Wenguang smiled proudly and ordered the first guard on the left: "Go and call all the officials above the brigade commander near the city wall."

"Abide by the order!"

Lai Wenguang found a wide area, and in a short while, more than thirty young and strong men gathered behind him.

The brigade coach on the city wall and the coach of the army came to Lai Wenguang in groups of three or three, not knowing what the strange boss was going to say.

"Brothers, I have decided to submit to His Highness the Wing King. If you agree, you stand on the left, and if you disagree, you stand on the right!"

Lai Wenguang was afraid of rebellion from behind, so he deliberately said that surrendered to the King of Wings. Because King of Wings Shi Dakai left, Hong Xiuquan was granted the title of kings and appointed the same clan. People with ambition missed Shi Dakai even more, so his reputation did not decline but increased.

Everyone below looked at each other, and some clever people had already stood to the left.

Lai Wenguang smiled pretendingly and said, "Don't worry, the Wing King promises to ensure everyone's safety. The Wing King promises a thousand gold medals, and he says that he will do it."

A few more people walked to the left.

Several other people glared at Lai Wenguang and walked to the right silently. If they hadn't been concerned about the sword guards around them, they would have already cursed him.

Lai Wenguang waved his hand and dozens of guards stepped forward to kill the people standing on the right.

"Don't worry, Lai is like you, who will live together, die together, and die together, come! Go down and open the city gate!"

As the north gate slowly opened, the Hunan army roared into the city, and the shouts of killing spread farther and farther away. The Taiping army in the city didn't know what happened, and they were suspicious of each other. They watched the Han army enter Hong Xiuquan's residence before they reacted and supported them together.

The two armies fought fiercely for a long time, and the Taiping Army collapsed first and failed to form a system. They were surrounded by the Hunan Army in a few vital situations, with casualties every moment.

Bao Chao shouted excitedly: "I captured Hong Xiuquan alive!"

After a while, another anger sound came.

"Shiko! It's fake! Chase me!"

Hong Xiuquan was forced to exchange clothes with a guard and was pulled away by his confidant general. Hong Xiuquan felt that there were fewer and fewer guards around him, but he ran forward desperately until he was the only one left around him.

Zhou Fengshan saw a man wearing Taiping Army clothes in front of him. Seeing that he was not small in his official position, he immediately sent his subordinates to catch him and shouted, "Do you know Hong Xiuquan?"

Hong Xiuquan was stunned. It took him a long time to call him his name, and no one dared to call him a name in front of him.

"Who is Hong Xiuquan? I seem to have heard of it, but I don't seem to have seen it."
