Chapter 511 The last ‘straw’ that broke Hong Xiuquan’s back!
In Wang Meng's mind, there were great hidden dangers within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Not long after Zhou Wang Guo Wei ascended the throne, he united with a group of close ministers to carry out drastic reforms in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although the new official took office with three firepowers, he was so hot-tempered.
As soon as the fire started, the interests of many deep-rooted veteran ministers were touched. How could those ministers who were accustomed to corruption be willing to let him succeed easily?
This led to the fact that at least half of the people in the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were alienated from Guo Wei. It was precisely because of this that many officials were afraid of being found out for making mistakes, so they simply took refuge with nearby princes.
Among them, there are countless Taiping officials who chose to join Yuan Shu's forces!
Wang Meng keeps a list of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officials who have recently come to surrender, as well as a list of some wavering officials who have the intention to surrender but have not completely withdrawn from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. With this list, Haidong Lai and others can feel confident and bold.
When entering and exiting the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, even if Guo Wei noticed it and ordered people to come to investigate, they could still hide in the mansions of high officials without being captured.
"The information that came from Li Gexiao last time said that Guo Wei sent Chai Rong, Fu Yanqing and others to lead an army to secretly attack Hong Xiuquan's mansion, and then put him under house arrest in the mansion, and publicized that Hong Xiuquan was seriously ill and bedridden.
!”
When he thought of this, Wang Meng's eyebrows stretched, and a shrewd luster flashed in his bright eyes. The corners of his mouth raised, and then he murmured proudly: "Guo Wei was really stupid for not killing Hong Xiuquan as soon as possible.
Extremely, once Hong Xiuquan finds an opportunity to convey the news to the outside world, the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be in chaos."
It was not enough for the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to be in chaos. Wang Meng wanted to watch the fire from the other side, sit on the mountain and watch the tigers fight, and let Guo Wei and Hong Xiuquan's old ministers fight to the death, so that he could profit from it.
"Bo Demon King Peng and Prince Mo'ang are Hong Xiuquan's confidants, and they are also loyal to Hong Xiuquan. What would they think if they knew that Hong Xiuquan was under house arrest by Guo Wei? What if at this time, Hong Xiuquan died inexplicably in Guo Wei
In the hands of Hong Xiuquan, will they directly defect on the battlefield and join our army to avenge Hong Xiuquan?"
If the two powerful generals, Prince Mo'ang and King Peng, defected and joined their own camp, then it would be a piece of cake to destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Guo Ruifu, a mere tree, can be destroyed at the snap of a finger!
Wang Meng's eyes were firm, and he immediately sent his generals Lu General and Wu Bang to summon Hai Donglai and Li Gexiao into the big tent, and then sent Tang Wanren and Tang Wanyi north to Kuaiji County and Runan County to carry out other tasks.
Bupleurum, He Xiaomei and Yan Sanniang from the mission called back.
A few days passed by, and everyone arrived at Wang Meng's tent. Wang Meng looked at the five people in the tent with a solemn expression, and then said unhurriedly: "The battle situation on the front line is urgent. The Taiping rebels are stubbornly resisting, causing heavy casualties to our army."
, the offensive has stalled, and I called you here today because there is something important that needs you to do."
The five people in the tent were headed by Hai Donglai. He lowered his head respectfully, bowed his hands and clasped his fists in salute, and replied: "I will obey the general's orders in everything!"
Listening to the obedient words of the five people in the tent, Wang Meng's originally tense eyebrows relaxed slightly. He took a long breath and said slowly: "You should know about Guo Wei's rise to power. According to the recent information,
Knowing that, he secretly placed Hong Xiuquan under house arrest in his mansion, and imprisoned all of Hong Xiuquan's family members, and then used this to threaten Hong Xiuquan to write some abdication and related edicts for him."
In Wang Meng's analysis, the reason why Hong Xiuquan was willing to write those so-called abdication edicts was mainly for his most beloved legitimate son Hong Tianfugui!
Hong Tianfugui was born to Hong Xiuquan's concubine Lai Lianying. It is said that when this boy was just born, "ten thousand birds came to the court to seek the blessing of the birth of the young master." However, Hong Xiuquan believed very much in things like strange powers and chaos. After he saw the vision,
He felt from the bottom of his heart that Hong Tian Fugui would become the emperor to replace the Han Dynasty in the future.
It was precisely because of this idea that Hong Xiuquan took the initiative to write an edict of abdication, just to let Guo Wei save Hong Tianfu's life!
"Hong Xiuquan cherishes and protects his eldest son Hong Tianfugui very much. If he knew that Hong Tianfugui had been killed by Guo Wei a long time ago, he would probably go crazy in an instant."
In Wang Meng's idea, he planned to let Hai Donglai and Li Gexiao secretly sneak into the Tianwang Mansion where Hong Xiuquan was located, and then tell him the news that Hong Tian Fugui had been killed, and then use Hong Xiuquan's hatred for Guo Wei to write
The whole story of Guo Wei's rebellion.
Finally, Haidonglai and the others brought out all the criminal evidence about Guo Wei written by Hong Xiuquan and handed it over to Prince Moang and Demon King Peng who were confronting Lian Po and Su Lie on the front line. Once they saw what Hong Xiuquan wrote, they
These may lead the army to directly resist Guo Wei's rule!
As long as there are no obstacles on the front line from Demon King Peng and Prince Mo'ang, with Xiong Kuohai, Demon King Jiao and a group of powerful generals and elite soldiers, they can push all the way to the outside of Tianjing City.
"Come from Haidong, Li Gexiao, the most important task of your trip is to obtain the evidence that Guo Wei killed Hong Tianfugui, sneak into the Tianwang Mansion, inform Hong Xiuquan of Hong Tianfugui's death, and then ask Hong Xiuquan to cooperate with us to bring down
Guo Wei.
As long as you get all the criminal evidence about Guo Wei's rebellion written by Hong Xiuquan, then Hong Xiuquan's value will be drained. Then you can quietly solve it for him, and then blame Guo Wei. This is not a problem for you.
It’s quite difficult!”
Wang Meng's plan is not without its viciousness. Hong Xiuquan, the pseudo-emperor, is just a tool in the whole plan. Death will come to him after all the value he possesses is completely drained.
That's all the general policy planning. Wang Meng waved his hand and motioned Hai Donglai and Li Gexiao to come closer to him. He whispered some secrets to the two of them, and then ordered them to bring He Xiaomei, Bupleurum and Yan.
Sanniang, you must complete this mission!
"Don't worry, general, we promise to complete this task, otherwise we will come to see you."
Since Haidong came and they dared to issue a military order, Wang Meng boldly signaled them to leave quickly. Li Gexiao and his group bowed respectfully to Wang Meng, and then left the tent without looking back, without stopping.
He galloped towards the location of Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
At this time, Guo Wei was anxiously staying in his palace. He had no idea that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would undergo earth-shaking changes next!
