At this moment, Changshu County has become a place occupied by the Taiping Army.
Li Xiucheng bypassed Changshu County and went straight to Yushan without attacking Changshu. However, the army led by Yang Xiuqing who followed did not give up and chose to attack the county seat. However, when Yang Xiuqing asked the army to prepare for the attack, Changshu County
The county magistrate directly chose Kaicheng to surrender, and suddenly thought he was the magistrate of Changshu County under the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In the county hall, Yang Xiuqing was wearing a dragon robe and uniform. She was serious in speech, her eyes revealed a hint of majesty, and she was sitting above with a golden sword and a horse, imposing pressure on all sides.
On the left side of the hall, King Qin Rigang of Yan sat.
On the right side of the hall are a group of generals.
At the end of the hall, there stood a fat middle-aged man with a hunched back.
This man was as fat as a cylinder, his face was full of fat, his hair was disheveled, and the braid hanging behind his head had been cut off. The fat man's arms were like pig thighs, and his protruding belly looked like he was pregnant.
Women in October look extremely funny. They are already fat, and they deliberately bend their waists and backs, making them ugly and uncomfortable.
This fat man was the magistrate of Changshu County. When he saw Yang Xiuqing coming to kill him, he took the initiative to welcome Yang Xiuqing into the city.
At this moment, Fatty Magistrate had a trace of expectation in his heart.
When Yang Xiuqing came to kill him, he took the initiative to open the city gate and cut off his braid to show his determination. He could be said to be a hero. The fat magistrate lowered his head and rolled his round eyes, wondering how Yang Xiuqing would reward him.
Even if Yang Xiuqing was shown to officials from other counties, he would be rewarded with a big official position! At least, it could not be lower than the current position of magistrate of Changshu County.
"Where is the county magistrate?"
When the fat county magistrate was dreaming of good things to come, a majestic shout rang out.
This loud shout suddenly brought Fatty back to reality.
"Boom! Boom!!"
The fat man trotted for a while, and every step he stepped on the ground caused the floor in the hall to shake. Yang Xiuqing and Qin Rigang looked at each other, and the corners of their mouths twitched slightly. This fat man was simply too fat, and he was covered in fat.
"thump!"
The fat county magistrate ran to the center of the hall, knelt on his knees, kowtowed and said: "I am the official Wang Zheqi, and I pay my respects to the King of the East."
Yang Xiuqing stared at the fat man with cold eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Wang Zheqi, Wang Zheqi, you must be very proud in your heart and wait for me to reward you. It's a good idea."
When Fatty Wang heard this, he felt that the atmosphere was wrong!
Immediately, Wang Zheqi said: "Dong Wang, I will never dare to think like this."
Yang Xiuqing snorted coldly and said righteously: "Your little tricks can't be fooled by my sharp eyes. What I dislike most in my life is a wallflower like you. Now you can cut off your braids and surrender to the Celestial Empire, and wait for the Celestial Army to leave.
, you can also shave your hair, leaving a bald spot, put on fake braids, and submit to the Manchus, isn’t that right?”
The fat magistrate's face changed drastically, and his eyes were filled with fear.
This, this, what is going on!
Fatty Wang knocked his head to the ground, his forehead was bruised, and he choked with sobs: "Xiaguan is definitely sincere. Xiaguan has known about the Celestial Dynasty for a long time, and has admired it for a long time, but he has no chance. To surrender to the Eastern King today is completely true.
Joy from the bottom of my heart. King Dong, I have no intention of asking for rewards. I just want to serve the Heavenly Kingdom and govern Changshu County conscientiously!"
When Yang Xiuqing heard this, her expression remained motionless, her eyes still as cold as knives.
Once he has made up his mind, he will not change it.
In the past, when the Taiping Army first rebelled, Yang Xiuqing could still listen to advice. As his status rose, especially when he became the King of the East, where one person was worth more than ten thousand people, Yang Xiuqing developed a dictatorial character and was determined to be the king of the East. The things below will not change. Yang Xiuqing flicked her sleeves and shouted: "Come here, take this animal out and behead it to show the public, as a warning to others!"
"As commanded!!"
Loud shouts came out in unison, and two burly men came over, holding Fatty Wang between their arms, and walked out. Even though Fatty Wang was wide and fat, he kept struggling, but he felt that there was something pinching his armpits. His hands were like iron chains and he couldn't break free.
Qin Rigang watched Wang Zheqi being dragged down, with a flash of crazy joy in his eyes.
Kill the clear demon!
This is the real killing of demons!
Wang Zheqi was dragged away by two strong men. He could not resist, and it was impossible to run away, so he gave up and cursed: "Yang Xiuqing, you are a bastard who will be cut into pieces with a thousand cuts. You go back on your word, you betray your promise. Don't be proud, The bandits will definitely be eliminated, and the court will not let you go. When the time comes, you will be quartered, your home will be confiscated, and your clan will be exterminated..."
Yang Xiuqing's face was so gloomy that she was about to drip with water as she yelled and scolded her all the way.
Not long after, a scream came from outside the hall, and Yang Xiuqing's gloomy expression softened slightly.
Qin Rigang turned his eyes to Yang Xiuqing and said in a calm tone: "Dongwang, Li Xiucheng led the army to hunt down Wu Qigong, but they have not yet won. I have a general under my command who is both civil and military. He has been on the battlefield for a long time. He is also one of the generals. General. I want to send him to assist Li Xiucheng in destroying Wu Qigong. The two of them mutually..."
"no!"
Before Qin Rigang finished speaking, Yang Xiuqing flatly refused.
Yang Xiuqing said in a deep voice: "Li Xiucheng is fully capable of defeating Wu Qigong and does not need anyone's help. Li Xiucheng had a purpose in not annihilating Wu Qigong, don't you see? Li Xiucheng forced Wu Qigong to Yushan and forced the Qing Dynasty in other counties to The army will come to the rescue. When the time comes, Li Xiucheng will wait for work and defeat the Qingyao by surprise. You understand the truth, why do you need to send someone to interfere?"
When Qin Rigang heard this, the smile on his face disappeared instantly.
Instead, there was a gloomy look on his face.
It is true that Yang Xiuqing was the king of the East, he had more power than him, and he was the commander-in-chief of the army. However, Qin Rigang was also the famous King of Yan in the court and was the deputy commander of the army, but he did not even send a general to get a little credit. There was no chance, it was too bullying. Qin Rigang did not fight for it, but he was even more dissatisfied with Yang Xiuqing in his heart.
"Da da!!"
There was a sound of footsteps, and a soldier ran in quickly.
The soldier entered the hall, knelt down on one knee and saluted Yang Xiuqing, and reported: "Report to the King of the East that General Li has successfully forced Wu Qigong into Yushan and trapped the soldiers of Wu Qigong's Jiangbei Camp in Yushan. We got out. Now, let’s wait for the Qing troops from various places to come to rescue us.”
"Okay, okay, okay!!"
Yang Xiuqing had already guessed the result, and when he heard the soldier's report, he still couldn't help but cheer.
Qin Rigang's eyes were gloomy, with a cold light shining in his eyes. Yang Xiuqing then said: "Tell Li Xiucheng that I have granted him arbitrary power. However, I need victory, not defeat!"
"yes!"
After receiving the order, the soldier turned and left.
Qin Rigang looked at the soldiers leaving, clenching his fists on his legs and cracking his knuckles. He wanted to let his trusted generals go out but was stopped by Yang Xiuqing, but Li Xiucheng got the benefit.
At this time, Qin Rigang was not only dissatisfied with Yang Xiuqing, but also regarded Li Xiucheng as a thorn in his side. Qin Rigang knew that Yang Xiuqing was powerful and could not compete with Yang Xiuqing for the time being, so he kept everything in his heart.
