Huai Haijun's forbearance towards the Taiping Army during this period indeed played a role in confusing the Taiping Army.
This made everyone in the Taiping Army feel that the Huai Navy wanted to digest the newly occupied areas and had no intention of starting a war. At the same time, they also believed that the Huai Navy would not respond so quickly.
In fact, this is exactly what Dong Shuheng wants to achieve.
Now it seems that the entire Taiping Army has been plotted by the Huai Navy.
Wei Changhui was not stupid. Huai Haijun knew the time so accurately, so he must have been keeping an eye on him for a long time.
In other words, he himself became someone else's chess piece. Wei Changhui thought he was a chess player, but now he suddenly found that he had become someone else's chess piece.
Perhaps Huai Haijun wanted to use himself to create turmoil in Tianjing, and then take the opportunity to capture Tianjing City.
The humiliation brought about by this contrast made Wei Changhui almost go crazy.
"Kill, kill all these Huaihai navy." Wei Changhui shouted loudly to the generals around him.
At this time, he just wanted to let his men rush over and kill all the Huai Haijun to vent his anger.
Why should I be a chess piece? I am a chess piece that wants to kill the chess player.
The Huaihai Navy on the opposite side only has a few thousand men. When encountering each other on a narrow road, the brave will win. Wei Changhui has confidence in his men.
"Brothers, the Huaihai navy on the opposite side wants to steal our capture and our Tianjing. Charge up and kill them all!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
These executioners, who had just completed the massacre in the East Prince's Mansion, all had red eyes, as if they had transformed into berserkers.
They had already vented their feelings on the female relatives and maids of the East Mansion. At this time, all of them were in a state of excitement.
A large amount of treasures in the Dongfu are still there and have not been divided up. Now these Huaihai navy come to rob them. How can they agree?
Needless to say, Wei Changhui said that none of the soldiers from Beifu and King Yan would agree.
The soldiers on Wei Changhui's side raised their weapons and marched forward bravely. They were scrambling one by one. Qin Rigang and Xu Zongyang were covered in blood and took the lead.
But this time they faced Huai Haijun, and their bloody courage was worthless when faced with bullets.
The Taiping Army also attached great importance to the use of firearms, but this time Wei Changhui came back to seize power, and he brought with him all the swordsmen in the army, who were elite in close combat.
Huai Haijun formed a neat and dense formation on the street.
The distance between the two sides quickly reached two hundred meters.
"shooting!"
The sound of gunfire is the signal for battle.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Under the orders of the Huai navy soldiers and officers, they fired as fast as they could. Rows of Taiping soldiers fell on the way forward.
But these Taiping troops did not stop. The soldiers who had just carried out the massacre were the most indifferent to life and death. The deaths and injuries of the soldiers in the front had no impact on the soldiers behind.
The flow of people from the Taiping Army continued to surge forward, just like a torrent moving along the street.
"Fuck, these Taiping soldiers are crazy!" a company commander of the Huaihai Navy cursed.
"No, we have to ask for mortar support." the deputy company commander suggested.
Their company was at the front. The cross-section of the street was only so large, and only some of the guns could fire. They didn't have machine guns, so rifles alone couldn't stop the desperate charge of so many people.
According to the pre-war plan, mortars could not be used unless absolutely necessary.
When mortars are fired, they will inevitably blow up the houses on both sides, and may even cause fires and cause widespread damage.
However, this is excepted when the safety of the troops is threatened.
"Order the mortars to fire, and have the soldiers prepare grenades and bayonets!"
Seeing the enemy approaching quickly, the company commander ordered.
They had received orders to just hold on for half an hour, and the band of brothers had already outflanked them from other places.
"Bang bang bang..." The mortars and grenades set up behind the company finally fired, and the shells were much more effective in killing the enemy.
Wei Changhui's men were knocked to the ground in piles. Xu Zongyang and Qin Rigang, who were charging forward, did not have such good luck this time.
Large officers like them are usually the targets of Huai Haijun's greetings.
With the development of firearms, the role of personal bravery has become weaker and weaker.
Qin Rigang suffered the worst, being hit by more than ten bullets before falling to the ground.
"Grenade!" Following the company commander's order, black dots flew out from the phalanx.
Clear away the Taiping soldiers who just rushed to the front of the formation.
The soldiers in the front row used bayonets to clean out the fish that had slipped through the net, while the soldiers in the rear row continued to throw grenades.
Mortars also kept firing deep into the rear of the Taiping Army. Suddenly, the narrow streets were filled with smoke and there were explosions everywhere.
In this predicament, Huai Haijun maximized his killing efficiency.
Wei Changhui saw that his men did not rush forward, so he quickly ordered people to mobilize all the troops left behind in the palace.
At this time, Qin Rigang and Xu Zongyang had already fallen on the charging road.
The army can only rely on Wei Changhui to command and dispatch. In fact, if Wei Changhui is killed, these Taiping troops will fall into chaos.
"Bang bang bang bang bang..."
Gunshots also rang out on the other side of the street.
As soon as Wei Changhui heard this voice, he knew that something was wrong. He was being tricked.
Most of the personal guards who had been surrounding him were sent out, which immediately left some space around him.
Wei Changhui didn't know that there were two rifles aiming at him from a distance, looking for opportunities. It was just that the people around him had protected him too closely just now.
"Bang! Bang!" The two gunshots almost overlapped.
One of the shots hit him in the head, almost blowing off his Tianling Cap.
"Target No. 2 cleared!"
Wei Changhui's death suddenly caused chaos in the remaining Taiping Army, and the army lost its unified command.
"Come on!"
"Surrender without killing!"
The roars of charging and calls for surrender came one after another. The Taiping troops here instinctively retreated towards Dongfu.
After losing all their senior generals, the remaining Beifu Taiping Army finally surrendered in desperation.
Huai Haijun took over Dongwangfu. The troops began to march towards Tianwangfu.
On the other side, Huang Hao ran back to the Tianwang Mansion with disheveled hair, followed by only a few dozen people.
During the retreat just now, they all ran away, and now he didn't even know where his people had gone.
Although he was a little embarrassed, luckily the guards at Tianwang Mansion were all his subordinates, so they could recognize him.
"Prime Minister, are you injured?"
"Quick, take me to see the King of Heaven, I have something important to report!"
In the main hall, Hong Xiuquan and his ministers were still waiting for news from outside.
It just felt like the fighting in the whole city couldn't stop.
Wave after wave of explosions came.
"Who can tell me what's going on? Why are you still fighting? What is Wei Changhui doing?"
"Report! Heavenly King! Prime Minister Huang is back."
"Let him in quickly."
Huang Hao staggered into the main hall, his arms tied with cloth strips and hung in front of his chest.
"Huang Aiqing, are you injured? Send the imperial doctor to Huang Aiqing quickly to treat Huang Aiqing's injury."
"Your Majesty, it's okay for me to be a minor minister, but things are going badly outside."
Huang Hao knelt on the ground and said with a cry.
"The Huai Navy took advantage of the Northern King's campaign to suppress the evil forces of the East and invaded the city."
"What?" Hong Xiuquan stood up in surprise, then fell back to his chair.
"Your Majesty, Wei Chen is already at war with the Huai Navy. Unfortunately, Wei Chen has only a few major generals and is no match for the Huai Navy."
"Weichen was even shot in the arm and risked his life to come back to report to you."
"Your Majesty, when I came back, I saw Huai Haijun's army entering the city. In front of the main gate of the East Palace, the Northern King had already started a battle with Huai Haijun."
"Fortunately, with King Bei here, I feel relieved." Hong Xiuquan let out a long sigh of relief.
As long as the Northern King can hold back the Huai Haijun in the city, and the Yu King subdues the East King's subordinates, and attacks the Huai Haijun from both inside and outside, the Huai Haijun will become a turtle in the urn.
Hong Xiuquan has not slept since last night. He has been in this hall and his spirit is in a state of high tension.
Now his eyes were bloodshot. One night, all kinds of information came to the Tianwang Mansion, which made Hong Xiuquan a little confused.
All of a sudden, the entire Tianjing City seemed to be undefended, and all the troops came in. Now why is the Huai Navy also here?
Wei Changhui launched the attack in the middle of the night. Could it be that Huai Haijun was a prophet. Of course it was impossible, then they had planned it for a long time.
"King of Heaven, I have something to say, and please forgive me." Huang Hao said.
"Huang Aiqing, please tell me, I forgive your innocence."
"Your Majesty, I see that the Huaihai Navy seems to have come prepared. It must be Dong Ni who is colluding with it."
"I boldly ask your Majesty to temporarily move to Anqing, and then I will ask King Yi to come out and fight back."
Hong Xiuquan did not speak after hearing this, but thought for a while.
There are still several important ministers in the palace. If he agrees to move at this time, wouldn't it mean that he wants to run away.
What would everyone in the court think of him?
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister Huang is right, your Majesty should move first." Uncle Lai Hanying said.
"Report!"
At this time, a military commander came running into the hall.
"The king of Baotian, the king of the north, and the king of Yan were unfortunately killed while fighting the Huaihai navy. His highness the king of Yu was also ambushed and killed on the street."
"Boom..." This news shocked the entire palace.
"How did we lose so quickly?" Hong Xiuquan murmured to himself.
Today's Hong Xiuquan is not as stupid as in history. He stayed in the palace and finally burned himself to death.
"Let's go, dear friends, go back and bring your families and move with me."
"Your Majesty, I have prepared the clipper. Your Majesty, please come with me."
Naturally, the tens of thousands of people in the Tianwang Palace could not be taken away. Hong Xiuquan asked his chamberlain to secretly call the queen and concubines, plus his own children, dozens of them. Surrounded by the imperial guards, they left the palace and rushed to the dock.
At this time, various teams of the Huai Navy Special Forces have penetrated into various key points in Tianjing City.
Some important government offices have been captured by special forces in raids to ensure that they are not destroyed.
In addition, various transportation hubs are also monitored by the Huai Navy.
After fighting all night, the people in Tianjing City naturally did not dare to go out. They all huddled at home, terrified.
The people you can see on the streets now are either enemies or friends. So as long as the special forces guard some key roads, they will naturally be able to catch big fish.
Hong Xiuquan and others were targeted as soon as they left the palace.
At the intersection of a small road, the sedan chair of King Hong Xiuquan had just turned the corner.
Just hearing a "boom", a violent explosion occurred on the street corner.
The wooden sedan fell apart instantly, and Hong Xiuquan's fat body flew out of the sedan. When he landed on the ground, he was bleeding from all his orifices. His limbs twitched a few times and stopped moving.
"Target 0 has been cleared!"
After Hong Xiuquan's death, Huang Hao took his personal guards to protect Hong Xiuquan's youngest son and fled in embarrassment.
The Eastern King originally had 40,000 to 50,000 troops around Tianjing. Now, under the leadership of Yang Ximei, they have basically surrendered to the Huai Navy.
The next day, on the morning of June 7, Dong Shuheng led his headquarters across the river from Pukou and rushed to Jiangning City.
At this time, Huai Haijun had completely controlled Tianjing City. The original Dongwang's men had their weapons temporarily confiscated and relocated separately. All important yamen, kings, and important ministers' mansions in Tianjing were all controlled. The name "Tianjing" had already been
