Chapter 501 Guo Wei comes to power, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is on the verge of collapse!
Hundreds of soldiers were rummaging around in the big house of Tianwang Mansion, and even until dark, they could not find any trace of Hong Xiuquan. Just when Chai Rong, Shi Yanchao and other generals were confused.
However, one of the soldiers discovered a large pit under Hong Xiuquan's bed. This large pit was the entrance to the tunnel, which led directly from under the bed to the outside of the house!
"Oops, the purpose of Yang Zhangan and the others' stubborn resistance is to buy Hong Xiuquan time to escape. Hurry and chase along the tunnel!"
Chai Rong reacted and ordered Shi Yanchao to lead the team in pursuit of Hong Xiuquan along the tunnel. As for himself, he led the remaining soldiers to the Tianjing city gate and asked Fu Zhaoshou to close the city gate to prevent Hong Xiuquan from leaving the city.
sex.
"The soil in this tunnel is relatively fresh. It seems that it was newly excavated this week. Even if Hong Xiuquan arranged for his soldiers to dig around the clock every day, it is impossible for this tunnel to get out of Tianjing!"
Chai Rong felt a little relieved and stretched out his rough palm to wipe away the cold sweat on his forehead. He acted quickly and led his soldiers to quickly evacuate from the big house. Then he called Fu Yanqing who was accompanying him, and the two of them simply reported Hong Xiuquan's whereabouts.
Tell Guo Wei and rush towards the city gate as soon as possible.
Time flies by in a blink of an eye!
At the gate of Tianjing City, after receiving Guo Wei's order to close the city gate, Fu Zhaoshou immediately drove all the people who wanted to leave the city into the city, and then closed the city gate unceremoniously, completely cutting off the people hidden in the tunnels.
Hong Xiuquan wanted to escape from Tianjing City.
Hong Xiuquan, who fled along the tunnel, emerged from a remote dilapidated house somewhere on the west side of Tianjing City in disgrace. He didn't have time to take into account his identity as the king, so he quickly took off his yellow robe and put on the coarse linen clothes he had prepared.
, then he cut off all his beards, smeared his face with charcoal ash, dressed up like a poor man, and tried to sneak out of the city!
But just as he mingled with the crowd and rushed to the city gate, he witnessed with his own eyes Fu Zhaoshou leading his army to drive away the people and close the city gate.
"Damn it, this guy Guo Wei won't give me a way to survive!"
The eyes of the disgraced Hong Xiuquan were ignited with anger. He gritted his teeth angrily and silently retreated from the crowd. Then he evaded the soldiers under Guo Wei's command who were searching the city, and quietly rushed towards the military camp.
Hong Xiuquan's idea was to go to the military camp to find Huang Wenjin and Lin Fengxiang, his trusted generals, and then mobilize the army to fight against Guo Wei's forces!
But he didn't know that generals like Huang Wenjin and Lin Fengxiang had been taken into prison by Guo Wei's general Guo Ruifu. Hong Xiuquan was now heading to the military camp, and he was undoubtedly throwing himself into a trap!
Sure enough, Hong Xiuquan was alone and disgraced, wandering furtively back and forth outside the military camp. His appearance attracted the attention of the soldiers stationed near the military camp. The soldiers immediately tied him up, and after learning his identity, gave him
He was escorted to Guo Wei to receive the reward.
Guo Wei successfully captured Hong Xiuquan, and then he immediately dispatched his soldiers to release the news that King Hong Xiuquan had suddenly suffered a serious illness and was seriously ill and bedridden. Then, with the support of Prime Minister Hong Rengan, Feng Yunshan, Xiao Chaogui and other ministers, he temporarily replaced him.
Hong Xiuquan took charge of the government.
The first thing King Guo Wei of Zhou did when he ascended the throne was to send two ministers, Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui, to the front lines to appease Prince Mo'ang and King Peng, so that they could concentrate on fighting against Yuan's army's offensive!
In addition, Guo Wei also asked his fierce general Guo Ruifu to take charge personally, leading Hong Chengchou, Chai Rong and Chai Gui, Shi Yanchao, Fu Yanqing, Gao Yunguan, Zhu Zhaoying, Qian Guiren, Wei Chaocheng, Lian Yeshen, Liao Fashou, Zheng
Well, Tao Sanchun and other thirty-six lieutenants led 30,000 infantry, 8,000 light cavalry and 500 heavy cavalry to the front line to support Demon King Peng and Prince Moang.
"This time when we lead the army to support, we must make good friends with these two powerful generals, Demon King Peng and Prince Mo'ang, and try our best to win them over to our side!"
Before Guo Ruifu led his army to leave, Guo Wei gave many instructions to him, telling him to make good friends with Demon King Peng and Prince Mo'ang. These two powerful generals were crucial to consolidating Guo Wei's rule in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
As the saying goes, there are three things a new official should do when he takes office. After deploying a strategy to defend against external enemies, Guo Wei and Prime Minister Hong Rengan worked together to formulate relevant laws and regulations to punish corrupt officials in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Once this law was promulgated, they were punished.
Countless officials resisted!
For the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, whose foundation was completely rotten, the promulgation of Guo Wei's regulations was undoubtedly a sharp knife hanging on the heads of corrupt officials like them.
How long has Guo Weicai been in office? How arrogant is he to dare to touch the interests of officials like them?
The officials in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who were protecting each other, turned a deaf ear to the newly promulgated laws and regulations, and still went their own way. Guo Wei and Hong Rengan had no solution for this for a while.
Whenever they found evidence and wanted to take action against corrupt officials, those corrupt officials seemed to have received the news in advance and quickly took all their belongings and family members and fled!
Guo Wei's second fire was not good, but it did not affect the third fire he burned next.
Now Yuan Shu's forces are in Yuzhou and most of Yangzhou, and he has countless capable ministers and generals to help him. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is a certainty.
If they can resist Yuan Jun's attack, where should Guo Wei and the others go?
Regarding this issue, Guo Wei had already made plans. He secretly summoned Prime Minister Hong Rengan and Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui who had returned from the front line, and arranged for them to go south to Jiaozhou with heavy gifts to contact the local forces Li Mi and Shi Xie in Jiaozhou. If necessary,
At times, you can make your own decisions and be courteous, just to gain a place in the vast Jiaozhou region!
And just when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Prime Minister Hong Rengan, Feng Yunshan, and Xiao Chaogui led a team with heavy gifts and rushed south to the territory of Jiaozhou's local forces Li Mi and Shi Xie, the only remaining Danyang County of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom suffered an unprecedented fierce attack by Yuan's army.
.
On the front line of Danyang County, Guo Ruifu led his army to join the battlefield. He assisted Prince Mo'ang and King Peng to form a defense line against Yuan. No matter how powerful the Yuan army's firepower was and how fierce the offensive, they still firmly blocked the Yuan army in Wanling.
——Outside the defense line of Shexian County!
There are three fierce generals on the Danyang County defense line of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, while the attacking troops of Yuan Jun Su Lie and Lian Po include Xiong Kuohai and Jiao Demon King, as well as a group of powerful generals and generals to help out. The two sides that continue to fight are evenly matched, but overall
In other words, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom troops on the defensive side were even better.
