As soon as Hong Xiuquan died, all the soldiers of the Tianwang Army knelt down and surrendered.
Moreover, the soldier who killed Hong Xiuquan held up his head, which was still bleeding drop by drop, with one hand and put the other hand on the ground. He was very pious and respectful, as if he was using Hong Xiuquan's head to sacrifice.
Li Zhen led Lu Shaochuan and his party to stand outside the main hall, looking at the surrendering soldiers in the main hall, and immediately ordered: "Marquis Yang Ban, collect the weapons of all soldiers, and send an order to Nanjing City to tell the people that Hong Xiuquan is dead. With this At the same time, we put up notices to reassure the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that when we take Nanjing, we will not kill indiscriminately or trample on the people wantonly, and we hope that the people can do things with peace of mind."
"yes."
After Yang Banhou received the order, he immediately started preparations.
He gave Li Zhen's order, and soldiers immediately rushed into the hall and confiscated the weapons of all the soldiers. Immediately, the soldiers of the Heavenly King's Army were driven out of the hall, and they were all under control. Li Zhen, Smith, Yang Banhou, etc. When people entered the main hall, Li Zhen looked at the dragon chair above the main hall with a trace of surprise in his eyes.
Hong Xiuquan really knows how to enjoy it.
This dragon chair is covered with golden light, exuding an intoxicating light. It is luxurious and luxurious, no less than the emperor's dragon chair in the Forbidden City in Beijing. However, the person sitting on this dragon chair does not have the ability to sit still. .
Lu Shaochuan said: "Commander, please sit on it."
Long Ao looked at Li Zhen expectantly, waiting for Li Zhen to stride up.
Li Zhen pondered for a moment, shook his head slightly and said: "This is not my place. Long Yao sent soldiers to dismantle the dragon chair above the main hall, melted it in the furnace, recast it into gold bars, and sent people to bulldoze it. The steps under the dragon chair reduced the hall to flat ground, without the need for any steps. Then we moved our conference table and placed it in the hall, making it as simple and grand as possible, and no longer as luxurious as it is now."
"yes."
Long Ao responded respectfully, feeling a little confused.
When attacking Nanjing, Li Zhen showed his true feelings once, and his unparalleled ambition was fully revealed. However, this time Li Zhen blatantly refused to sit on the dragon throne and bulldozed the steps of the main hall. What does this mean? ,Don’t Li Zhen intend to go further? For the first time, Long Ao couldn’t understand Li Zhen or what he was thinking in his heart.
However, what needs to be done must be done.
Long Ao ordered the soldiers to move the dragon chairs and prepare for the rearrangement of the main hall.
Li Zhen walked to the front seat on the left side of the hall and sat down. He looked at Hong Xiuquan, whose body was half-lying on the ground in the hall, and ordered in a deep voice: "Smith, call in the person who killed Hong Xiuquan."
Smith received the order and immediately ordered the soldiers to bring in the person who killed Hong Xiuquan.
The person who killed Hong Xiuquan was still holding Hong Xiuquan's head. He placed Hong Xiuquan's head on the ground, leaned down on the ground, and kowtowed with his head: "Li Yi, the sinner, pays homage to the admiral."
Li Zhen asked: "You killed Hong Xiuquan."
"Yes, it was the sinners who killed Hong Xiuquan, the great traitor."
Li Yiyi didn't dare to raise his head and answered in a low voice.
Li Zhen smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "Although I and you are from the same family, it is a pity that you are a disloyal person. Hong Xiuquan treated you well, but it is a pity that you betrayed him because there is a group of people like you. , Hong Xiuquan will die. I dare not take a person like you in, so I drag him down and behead him in public."
Two soldiers strode in and clamped Li Yi's shoulders.
"Sir, spare my life, spare your life."
Li Yi begged loudly for mercy, but Li Zhen's expression did not change. The soldiers dragged Li Yi down.
Not long after, a scream came from outside.
Lu Shaochuan asked: "Commander, why did you kill him?"
According to Lu Shaochuan's idea, not only should Li Yi not be killed, but he should also be rewarded, so as to encourage the Taiping soldiers to kill the people who were in charge of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Now that Li Zhen has killed Li Yi, Lu Shaochuan is confused.
Li Zhen said: "Lu Shaochuan, let me ask you three questions. If it were you, how would you deal with the surrendered King's Army outside, how would you deal with the countless bandit soldiers in the city, and how would you deal with the people under Nanjing's rule. "
When Lu Shaochuan heard this, Nuonuo remained silent.
Li Zhen asked three questions in a row, leaving him wondering what to do.
If it was a single question, Lu Shaochuan could easily answer it, but when he thought of Li Yi who was killed, he gradually understood in his heart that the reason why Li Yi was killed was that Li Zhen wanted to make a show to Hong Xiuquan. The gesture of revenge made the troops in the city grateful to Li Zhen, and also made it easier for the people of Nanjing to accept Li Zhen's entry into Nanjing.
For this reason, Li Zhen beheaded Li Yi.
Li Zhen looked at Lu Shaochuan who seemed to understand but seemed to understand. He stopped giving instructions and turned his eyes to Hong Xiuquan's head and body in the main hall. He ordered: "Collect Hong Xiuquan's body and bury it in glory. Although Hong Xiuquan was alive, We are my enemies, but if others die like a lamp going out, there is no need to be tortured like dismembering their bodies after death."
Lu Shaochuan wrote it down and listened quietly.
At the same time, the hatred in his heart also disappeared.
Lu Shaochuan chuckled and suddenly said: "Commander, Hong Xiuquan is extremely lustful. He did not allow the people below to marry and have children, but he collected countless beauties. Hong Xiuquan stayed in Nanjing for several years, and there were countless women in the harem, probably no less than Among thousands of people, I heard that Hong Xiuquan, an old bastard, had eighty-eight concubines, which was simply more powerful than the Manchu Qing emperor’s seventy-two concubines in the Three Palaces and Six Courtyards. In addition, Hong Xiuquan also had countless unnamed female officials. , now that we have captured the Heavenly King’s Mansion, it’s time to deal with these women.”
After hearing this, Li Zhen asked: "Why do you know so well?"
Lu Shaochuan looked bitter and resentful, and said impassionedly: "Commander, you don't know something. On the way to Nanjing with my soldiers, I met several common people who said that their daughters were murdered. Hong Xiuquan occupied it and asked me to administer justice, so I asked the soldiers to investigate and found out what happened to Hong Xiuquan."
Li Zhen sneered and said: "I clearly remember that when the army was on the road, you never left. We almost didn't stop to rest on the way, and we didn't meet any common people."
Lu Shaochuan had a thick face and immediately said: "There is definitely a handsome man, you just haven't met him."
Li Zhen said: "Lu Shaochuan, you are becoming more and more shameless."
"Slander, this is slander."
Lu Shaochuan complained about his grievances, but did not admit it at all.
Li Zhen smiled, but stopped chatting with Lu Shaochuan. He controlled all the surrendered Heavenly King's troops and led Lu Shaochuan and others towards Hong Xiuquan's harem. Hong Xiuquan's harem was huge, beautifully carved and decorated. Huan, the area it occupies is no less than where the three thousand Heavenly King’s troops live.
Such a huge organization made Li Zhen very uncomfortable.
Because, there are all women here.
Lu Shaochuan observed carefully along the way and praised: "Hong Xiuquan really knows how to enjoy himself. He has added so many places to the harem. There are really countless women. However, Hong Xiuquan hangs out in women's beds every day. Even a body beaten with iron cannot withstand it, and an iron pestle must be ground into a needle."
Li Zhen smiled and was speechless at Lu Shaochuan's shamelessness.
This guy is injured and yet he's still such a rogue.
When he came to the harem, all the women in the palace had been driven out by the soldiers and gathered together. Li Zhen looked at the densely packed women standing together and felt his scalp numb. He now had Zhi Lan, Zhou Xiuying, Gu Lina and others. His mind was about to explode, but he didn't expect Hong Xiuquan to be so powerful.
Hong Xiuquan was extremely proud of this.
