Using the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to form a situation where the world is divided into three parts? Pan Shiming reacted the fastest, and applauded excitedly, "Okay!" The big shopkeeper has a good idea! Yan Shikuan smiled and said, "How is it okay?" What's so good? ”

Pan Shiming said with a smile: "The big shopkeeper is talking about the three points of the world in public opinion, needless to say the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, no one will like the officials, gentlemen and businessmen in the world, what about the imperial court?" Although the imperial court occupies the name of righteousness, it is stubborn and stubborn, Yuan Qi is advocating Western learning, integrating China and the West, and moreover, we have the guidance of public opinion, and we have the advantage in this three-point world.

It is clear that Pan Shiming has been trained over the years, Yi Zhizhi was quite happy in his heart, and said with a slight bow: "We should not only advocate Western studies and advocate the integration of China and the West to complement each other's strengths, but also put forward a series of ideas such as freedom, equality, science, democracy, nation, and state in a timely and targeted manner in response to some policies of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and let these ideas be deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”

After a pause, he added: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is extremely precious and rare for us, and we must make use of it in all aspects, and we must make the best use of it. ”

Hearing this, the three of them all laughed, and Yan Shikuan quipped: "If Hong Xiuquan knows the idea of the big shopkeeper, he has to be angry, and he works hard to the death, just to let Yuan Qi use it, and he must make the best use of it!" ”

After laughing and joking for a while, Pan Shiming said: "What do you think of Changsha, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" ”

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set the capital of Changsha is half a month ago, the main force of the Taiping army after the capture of Changde, more than 100,000 troops turned around, straight to Changsha, Hunan governor Zhang Liangji did not dare to defend without reinforcements, respect the order of the governor of Huguang Qi Shan, led the army and people of the city to take the initiative to withdraw to Hubei, the Taiping army occupied Changsha again without blood, and then announced the capital of Changsha, changed Changsha to Tianjing.

Yi Zhishu didn't answer, poured a glass of wine slowly, and asked, "What do you think about this?" ”

"Changsha is just a provincial capital, and there has never been a ..... in history of Changsha." Wu Changqing said slowly: "It seems to be a little sloppy, and there seems to be no difference from those righteous armies in history who can't wait to be kings, it seems to be a bit passable, and it tastes like a corner of peace." ”

"I think Changsha is good." Yan Shikuan said: "Changsha is one of the four major rice cities, and Hunan is also the largest rice producing and exporting province, and Changsha's geographical location is also good. ”

After taking a sip of wine, Yi Zhizhi said: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom chose Changsha to set the capital, I think it is a good choice, Changsha is located in the lower reaches of the Xiangjiang River, is the center of the four rivers of Hunan, Zi, Yuan, and Li, and the waterways extend in all directions, which is conducive to the Taiping Army to exert the combat effectiveness of a strong naval division.

The capital of Changsha means that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be based on Hunan, the two provincial capitals of Guangxi and Hunan are rampant, and the Qing army is empty, which is conducive to the Taiping Army to open up and consolidate the base area, and is also conducive to connecting Guangxi and Hunan together, after all, Guangxi is the starting place of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Furthermore, from the geographical location of Hunan, Hunan is connected to Jianghuai in the east, Bashu in the west, Guangdong and Guizhou in the south, and the Central Plains in the north.

The most important thing is food, sufficient food means sufficient troops, Changsha is one of the four major rice cities, the capital is Changsha, the Taiping army does not need to worry about food problems at all, which is very important for a new regime. ”

As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Changqing and said, "As for being sloppy, I don't think so, on the contrary, I think that Dingdu Changsha is quite timely and correct, and it is of great significance."

Since the Jintian Incident, the Taiping army has conquered the city and conquered the city, and it has hardly really governed a place, and many places are spinning and losing, and the places they have passed through have been extremely destroyed and coerced by the people, and it can be said that they have completely fallen into the ranks of the rogues, which is very unfavorable to the subsequent development and growth.

The establishment of the capital means the establishment of the country, with the capital, with a stable base area, and with its own sphere of influence, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can be regarded as worthy of the name, and in name it has the capital to compete with the imperial court, in addition, the timely establishment of the capital is conducive to stabilizing the people's hearts, stimulating morale, and conducive to the repair and training of troops, so that it is possible to fight with the Qing army for a long time. ”

"It's still the big shopkeeper who sees it thoroughly." Pan Shiming flattered him before he said: "In this way, there is no shortage of talents in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. ”

Yi Zhi said with a full jaw: "There is indeed no shortage of talents in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, and Shi Dakai are all talents, but the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is congenitally deficient, with serious defects, and the birth is not at the right time, it is doomed to defeat from the beginning." ”

"This is called, both Shengyu and He Shengliang?" Yan Shikuan smiled and said: "No matter what kind of hero he is, he is born at the wrong time in the same era as the big shopkeeper!" ”

"Less flattery." Yi Zhishu said with a smile: "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is based in Hunan, and the sailors are entrenched in Dongting Lake, which is equivalent to cutting off the waterways and commerce in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, and Hubei is bound to be in constant war, the two lakes are important grain-producing provinces in the Qing Dynasty, and the destruction of the grain prices in Jiangsu and Zhejiang is bound to rise, and you have to purchase grain from Nanyang on a large scale. ”

Speaking of business, Yan Shikuan immediately got serious, and said: "Don't worry, the big shopkeeper, I will send someone back to Guangzhou immediately." ”

In the first year of Xianfeng, the twenty-first day of the first month, the opening day.

Early in the morning, the streets and alleys of Jiangning City resounded with crisp children's voices, "Sell newspapers, sell newspapers, watch the Taiping Heavenly Interior, and watch "Tianchao Tianmu System"!" ”

"Sell newspapers and sell newspapers, and watch the ..... of the Taiping Army Men's Hall and Women's Hall."

"Selling newspapers and selling newspapers, all men in the world are brothers, and women are sisters........"

The crisp children's voice in the streets and alleys one after another, I heard that it is the story of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, many people are attracted to come, the Taiping Army has been more than two years since the incident in Guangxi, and now it is the capital of Changsha, and the imperial court officers and soldiers around Jingzhou are constantly fighting, although Jiangning is still far away from Jingzhou, but many people are very concerned and curious about the situation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, after all, it is hearsay on weekdays, it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, the newspaper publicly reported, this is the first time.

The newspaper was quickly sold out, and the whole city of Jiangning also became a sensation, and the "Jiangning Daily" published several articles of great significance written and published by Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, on the second and third pages of the front page, such as "Song of the Salvation of the Yuan Dao", "The Awakening of the Yuan Dao", "The Awakening of the Yuan Dao", "The Awakening of the Yuan Dao", and "The Song of the Hundred Righteousness".

For the important figures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, important policies and systems, such as the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System", "Sacred Treasury System", "Men's Pavilion and Women's Pavilion System", "Taiping Official System", "Taiping Rite System", etc., are also truthfully published and introduced in detail.

More importantly, when the newspaper introduced the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and its kings, such as Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, the newspaper no longer preceded it with the word "pseudo", and the Taiping army was no longer called a rebel or a bandit, but a Taiping army, which was tantamount to officially recognizing the status of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Everyone knows that "Jiangning Daily" was founded by Yuan Qi, and the attitude of "Jiangning Daily" is Yuan Qi's attitude, and it is the first time that such a blatant and detailed introduction of the important figures and important policies and systems of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has caused heated discussions in the city.

Liangjiang Governor's Mansion, because it is the opening of the printing day, the inside and outside of the Governor's Mansion are colorful, vermilion and green, a group of officials and officials outside the country are busy preparing for the opening ceremony of noon, in the signing room, Li Xingyuan, the governor of Liangjiang in court clothes, saw the "Jiangning Daily" and couldn't help but blacken his eyes, stabilized his mind, he slammed the newspaper on the desk, and said in a deep voice: "Please ask Mr. Jin to come over immediately." ”

Li Xingyuan's staff member Jin Anqing hurried over, and without waiting for Li Xingyuan to ask, he said: "Dong Weng, this issue of "Jiangning Daily" has not been submitted for trial at all. ”

Don't have a submittal? Li Xingyuan couldn't help but be stunned, he immediately realized the seriousness of the problem, and the ordinary "Jiangning Daily" had to send the sample to the Governor's Mansion in advance for review, and only after confirming that there were no prohibited words and where the prohibition was violated could it be put for sale, but now such a big matter has not been sent for trial, what does it mean?

"Dong Weng, from now on, "Jiangning Daily" is afraid that it will not be submitted for review again." Jin Anqing said softly.

After a slight sigh, Li Xingyuan said: "Immediately send someone to collect "Lin'an Daily" and "Wuchang Daily". ”

"Dong Weng, when I saw the newspaper, I had already sent someone to collect it." Jin Anqing said slowly: "It should all be the same, since Yi Guocheng coerced the imperial court to fight for the right to build the Yangtze River Water Division, Yuan Qi no longer takes the imperial court in his eyes, and I am afraid that it will become even more ..... in the future." ”

Hearing this, Li Xingyuan couldn't help but sigh secretly, he really didn't have the courage to seal the newspaper office, now the war between the officers and soldiers of the imperial court and the Taiping army in Jingzhou, Hubei Province has reached a stalemate, at this juncture, provoking Yuan Qi will only give Yuan Qi a handle, so that Yuan Qi can take the opportunity to make trouble, and it is impossible for Jiangning's Eight Banners Green Battalion to block the attack of the navy.

And the imperial court will not easily provoke Yuan Qi at this time, after all, the encirclement and suppression of the Taiping army needs to rely on Yuan Qi, and the Yangtze River waterway also needs the naval fleet to guard, once the matter is big, the imperial court is afraid that he will be pushed out as a scapegoat.

Seeing that he was silent, Jin Anqing picked up the newspaper, pointed to the "Men's Pavilion and Women's Pavilion System" and said: "Dong Weng might as well take a closer look, he has not commented on other systems, but this system has made a special comment, and his words fiercely criticize the ..... of this system." ”

After a few glances, Li Xingyuan said, "What does Mr. mean is to organize people to write articles to criticize these systems?" ”

Jin Anqing nodded slightly, and said: "Yuan Qi's intentions are unknown, but if you think about it carefully, even if Yuan Qi wants to use the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to contain the imperial court, he will not support it so blatantly. ”

It would be a good thing if the newspaper published articles criticizing these systems, and Li Xingyuan said with a slight groan: "Send someone to the newspaper to negotiate." After a pause, he continued: "It's not what it used to be, let them lower their figures, don't mess up." ”

"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll go in person." Jin Anqing bowed slightly and said: "Ping Suli is responsible for the review of the sample, and he is also familiar with the people in the newspaper, so it is not appropriate to send other people." ”

"There's no hurry, I'll go later." Li Xingyuan said slowly, and after a moment of silence, he frowned as if talking to himself, and said, "What does Yi Guocheng want to do?" If he has the intention of rebellion, the current situation should be combined with the Taiping army, but he sent troops to recover Wuchang, and also galloped in the starry night to rescue the besieged monk and king's department.

If Yi Guocheng did not have the intention of making trouble, but he coerced the imperial court to compete for the right to prepare for the Yangtze River Water Division, it was clear that he wanted to control the Yangtze River waterway, and now that he was making such a fuss, what did Yi Guocheng want to do? ”

Jin Anqing got up and closed the door, turned it back, and then said softly: "Dong Weng, there is a word below, I don't know whether to say it or not." ”

Li Xingyuan looked at him and said, "Sir, but you want to resign?" ”

"Exactly." Jin An cleared his jaw and said: "Liangjiang is not a good land now, the Taiping army occupies Hunan, once the war goes well, it will go east to invade Liangjiang, although the intention of Yuan Qiyi Guocheng is difficult to figure out, but it will not be a good thing." The saint first ascended to the great treasure, and the two rivers are rich and wealthy, if Dong Weng becomes ill with worry and labor, and begs for rest, he will inevitably be able to retreat with his whole body. ”

Li Xingyuan is not greedy for power, last year the Taiping army captured Wuchang and Jingzhou one after another, he intended to retreat bravely, begging to resign, but at that time Xianfeng succeeded to the throne not long ago, it was really not suitable to beg for resignation, it was delayed again and again, and now the situation is becoming more and more complicated, and it really can't be delayed anymore.

Jiangning Newspaper House is located in Ya Lane near Sixiang Bridge, Pan Shiming is sitting in his yard snorting and smoking a cigarette pondering the various systems of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, hearing that the next person reported that Master Jin is coming, he quickly got up and greeted him, the two have dealt with each other, they can be regarded as familiar, as soon as they met, he smiled and said: "Why should Mr. Jin come to the door in person, say a little word, and go down to the Governor's Mansion ......." ”

Jin Anqing returned the salute and said with a wry smile: "Zecheng can make the old man miserable this time, even if there is a change, it is good to inform him in advance, is it possible that the old man still dares to stop him?" ”

"It's a little thoughtless, and it affects Mr." Pan Shiming stretched out his hand with a smile on his face and saluted: "Mr. Jin, please-." ”

Jin Anqing was not humble, he went straight into the courtyard, entered the house and sat down, he didn't go around in circles and said directly: "In the future, the "Jiangning Daily" will not be sent to the Governor's Mansion for review, right?" ”

Pan Shiming smiled, "If this mess comes out, isn't it sincere to harm people if it is sent for trial?" ”

Jin Anqing nodded and sighed lightly: "Yi Guogong is so patient, it's really hard for him to endure for so many years." As he spoke, he turned his head, "The newspapers in other provinces are the same, right?" ”

"The law does not hold the people accountable." Pan Shiming nodded and said: "It's the same in all provinces, please tell Li Zhengtai, don't worry." ”

"Although it is said that the law does not hold the public accountable, it will inevitably be furious today." Jin Anqing said slowly: "Can you turn around and publish a few articles criticizing those unrealistic systems?" ”

"Mr. Jin has also taken care of him a lot over the years, how can he not give this kind of affection." Pan Shiming chuckled: "Mr. Jin will pick a few good articles and publish them in a timely manner without delay." ”
