Chapter 491 Hong Xiuquan’s stupid operation made him an enemy of Yuan Shu!
The land of Yangzhou was raging with war and disputes. Huang Wenjin, the blocking king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was ordered by King Hong Xiuquan to attack Jiujiang County where the rebels were located. After dozens of battles, Huang Wenjin led the army with overwhelming force, passing through the border and killing generals along the way, and successfully recaptured Jiujiang County under the rule of the rebels!
In addition, Du Wang Huang Wenjin also captured a large number of rebel generals, including many famous generals from the original Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, such as: Gu Wang Luliu, Zhang Wang Lin Shaozhang, Shun Wang Li Chunfa, Bu Wang Mo Shijuan, Dai Wang Huang Chengzhong, The main king Xu Guangchen, the assistant king Zhu Yibo...
The main reason why these captured rebel generals willingly surrendered to Yang Xiuqing was because the king of heaven, Hong Xiuquan, was cruel, cruel and ignorant. They fought desperately on the front line, but were demoted to jail because of the gossip of the eunuchs in the court. Some even because He complained a few bad words about the King of Heaven, and after being found out, he directly implicated the nine tribes, and all the women, children, old and young, as well as relatives, friends and neighbors were slaughtered.
On the first day when Yang Xiuqing led his army to rebel against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, was furious and ordered his confidant Wei Changhui, the king of the north, to arrest the rebels throughout the territory, and issued an oral order that he would rather kill the wrongdoers than let them go. For a time, the whole of Yangzhou was in chaos. During the turmoil, nearly 100,000 innocent people were implicated. Among them, more than 30,000 innocent people were accused of treason and collaborating with the enemy and massacred.
This move of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan completely deviated from the original intention of establishing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this moment, his methods were cruel and despicable, which made many ministers in the court dare to be angry but dare not speak out.
This also indirectly pushed some ministers to lean toward Guo Wei's influence, and some ministers were forced to flee to the rule of Yang Xiuqing to avoid disaster, or even to other princes outside Yangzhou.
Throughout the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, everyone was in danger, but Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, did not care about it. In his mind, only killing to stop killing could make the people fearful and make the ministers surrender. Only in this way can he keep his throne and the country. , but he never thought that water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. He relied on the support of the people to rise to power, but now he has lost the support of the people, and his defeat will not be long!
After Du Wang Huang Wenjin led his army to recapture Jiujiang County, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed and immediately ordered Wang Wenjin to be given the title of King of Side by Side. In addition to his title and military power, he replaced the original Eastern King Yang Xiuqing and became the fourth ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. A military figure.
Among the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the first person with military power was King Hong Xiuquan himself, who could command an army of 100,000 people; the second person with military power was King Guo Wei of Zhou, who could control an army of 60,000 people; the third person with military power was King Wei Changhui of the North, who could control an army of 60,000 people. He can dispatch the 30,000 imperial troops in the capital; as for the fourth person who can hold military power, the newly established King Huang Wenjin, who has made great achievements, can dispatch 20,000 troops to conquer the rebels!
After King Huang Wenjin escorted many of the captured former Taiping generals back to the capital, King Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed when he heard the news. He immediately arranged for his confidant Wei Changhui to push these rebels into the market of the capital and behead them. Hang the corpse on the east side and wait for a month before taking it down to serve as a warning and to frighten all officials.
In addition, Hong Xiuquan also ordered Wei Changhui, An Wang Hong Renfa, and Fu Wang Hong Renda to lead 10,000 elite soldiers to arrest the family members of these rebel generals, implicating the nine tribes, and implementing the joint sitting law. Personnel who had close contact with them, regardless of All officials, big and small, will be imprisoned. If there are officials in the DPRK and Central Government, they will be directly removed from their official positions and will be treated as civilians!
Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, would not be able to deal with such a shameful operation by the officials in the court. A rebel general is a traitor general, what does it have to do with them? Why should the loyal ministers like them be implicated when the traitor generals make mistakes?
It was precisely because of Hong Xiuquan's pig-headed punishment methods that more soldiers were forced to choose to betray the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and join the rebel general Yang Xiuqing's forces.
Although Yang Xiuqing's forces fell to one county, he gained the support of a large number of elite soldiers and generals. Coupled with Hong Xiuquan's stupid operations, the rebel generals under his command became more powerful, and for a time they actually defeated the King of Yu, Hu Yihuang.
Continuous defeats!
The defeat of the King of Yu, Hu Yihuang, made the King of Heaven, Hong Xiuquan, very angry. Just as he was preparing to deal with Hu Yihuang, the eunuchs next to him slandered him again: King of Yu, Hu Yihuang, had rebelled and collaborated with the enemy.
The eunuch's words made the suspicious Hong Xiuquan very angry. He immediately deprived Hu Yihuang of his military power on unfounded charges and asked him to return to the capital to be punished. Hu Yihuang fought bloody battles on the front line, but he suddenly received the deprivation.
The decree of military power!
Huang Wenjin, the king of Du who had good relations with him, sent someone to tell him in advance that the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan was very angry about his successive defeats. He was summoned back to the capital to punish him.
Huang Wenjin even told Hu Yihuang that there were villains in the court who were secretly smearing him, which led Hong Xiuquan to rush to ask him to return to the capital...
Hu Yihuang was furious after learning the news. It happened that He Xiaomei, a member of the underworld organization under Yangzhou Wang Meng, found out the information and reported it to Wang Meng. Wang Meng immediately led the fierce generals Xiong Kuohai and Jiao Demon King south to Danyang County in the shortest possible time.
Come and lobby Hu Yihuang to join Yuan Shu's forces!
Under Wang Meng's persuasive persuasion, Hu Yihuang, King of Yu of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, finally chose to protect himself and led his army to switch to Yuan Shu's forces.
This sudden turn of events caught the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom forces and the rebel Yang Xiuqing forces off guard. Why did King Yu Hu Yihuang rebel despite his good intentions?
Hong Xiuquan was even more angry when he learned that King Yu King Hu Yihuang had led his army to join Yuan Shu's forces. He directly sent Wei Changhui to the homestead of King Yu King Hu Yihuang, beheaded all his ancestral graves and related relatives and friends, and killed his head.
He was cut down and put in a wooden box and sent to the big tent of Yuan Jun's camp.
Hong Xiuquan's operation completely pushed Yu Wang Hu Yihuang into the embrace of Yuan Shu's forces. After seeing the heads of his family members, Hu Yihuang knelt on the ground and covered his face and cried bitterly. His eyes were red and he knelt down before Wang Meng.
In front of me, I vowed to kill Hong Xiuquan and avenge my dead relatives and innocent people!
Later, Huang Wenjin, the king of Du, took over the position of King Hu Yihuang of Yu and led his army to attack Danyang County, the last place where the rebel Yang Xiuqing's power was ruled. War broke out one after another. With the help of two peerless generals, Prince Mo'ang and King Peng.
Next, Huang Wenjin led his army with overwhelming force. It only took more than half a month, which was the time when the Allied Forces Hulao Pass Songshan Battle ended.
Huang Wenjin led his army to powerfully regain the lost territory of Danyang County, and led his troops to push all the way, and finally came to the last station of the rebel leader, Yang Xiuqing, the former Eastern King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, at the foot of Wanling City!
