Twenty-five, Tianjing Tianjing (end)

"Tenkyo is different." Hong Xiuquan flatly refused, "Tianjing is the lifeblood of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Heavenly Father and I are both here, I have lived here for almost ten years, how can I give up easily?" ”

"Heavenly King! We withdrew from Tianjing in order to preserve our strength and make a comeback. It is still too late to implement this plan, and it is too late to withdraw it. Now Li Shixian is preparing to move from Jurong to the west, hearing that Wang Chen Bingwen Kanggong Wang Haiyang will also go to Jiangxi from northern Zhejiang, while Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and others have not yet completely encircled Tianjing, we break through the siege and go out of the city, Li Chen's second division can come to respond, can ensure the safe departure of the king, and we can reopen the situation in Jiangxi, where the enemy's forces are weak, is the best policy at present. ”

Hong Xiuquan stood up and sneered again and again: "Ridiculous! Here's the next step. As soon as Tianjing moves, the kingdom of heaven will be in chaos, and if I am here, the kingdom of heaven will be as stable as a rock! ”

Li Xiucheng knelt straight in front of the Heavenly King: "Ask the Heavenly King to level the rise and fall of the great cause of the Heavenly Kingdom, and the performance of the quasi-ministers." ”

Hong Xiuquan sneered and said, "Strange theory! The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was created by me, but instead I disregarded the safety of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? It is all your useless people who make the country worse and the country worse. If the East King and the Wing King were still here, how could I have today's worries? ”

"The minister is incompetent." When Li Xiucheng heard such a heavy reproach, he hurriedly kowtowed, "The matter of conquest is not ...... in one city or one place"

Hong Xiuquan couldn't bear it anymore, "Shut up!" Don't say it again, I will never go out of Tianjing, if you don't help, naturally someone will help, and when the time comes, I will invite the heavenly soldiers and generals," Hong Xiuquan went crazy again, his hands caged in the wide sleeves of the dragon robe trembled, and the focus in his eyes gradually lost focus, "Please go down to Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother again, what foreign devils, what Qing demons, they will all be swept away, and when the time comes, you will share the wealth of heaven, you are afraid of death." Hmph, you all go, I just stay alone! You step aside! After the king finished speaking, he waved his sleeves, and staggered past the screen, and went straight to the apse.

Li Xiucheng walked out of the Golden Palace in a daze, and a group of generals hula surrounded him at the noon gate outside the hall. Originally, I wanted to ask Li Xiucheng how the audience was, and saw Li Xiucheng's bleak face. They all fell silent, but they just surrounded Li Xiucheng without saying a word, "Tianjing Tianjing, hey little heaven," Li Xiucheng muttered to himself, and the two lines of tears couldn't help but stay.

"King Zhong, the King of Heaven still refuses to leave! If you stay here any longer, you will die sooner or later! ”

Li Xiucheng cried silently, and then pushed everyone away. Hiding his face and running, but he fell, then stood up and ran out of the palace again, and the generals were gloomy in their hearts, and the loyal king was skillful in saddle horses, but today he fell on the ground in this heavenly palace. It's really exciting.

Li Xiucheng ran out of the palace gate and turned over on his horse, but found that a large group of people were surrounded in front of the originally heavily guarded Tianwang Mansion, all of whom were the people of Tianjing City. "Chung Wang Chitose! You can't leave us alone! ”

"Yes, Lord Wang, Tianjing City can't live without you, you're not here, the Qing Demon is going to besiege us again!"

There were crying voices on the long street, and Li Xiucheng saluted with red eyes and fists, "Father, old folks." Don't do that, hurry up. ”

When Li Xiucheng guarded the area of Taiping County in Hezhou, the wharf in the area of Sun River Niu Road in the southeast of Hezhou City, opposite to the quarry rock on the east bank of the Yangtze River, was a traffic artery on both sides of the Yangtze River at that time. For thousands of years, the boat owners in this area have controlled the wharf, and they have been extorting at will, harming pedestrians, so that people who are "empty in their hands" have "sighed near the river". Li Xiucheng came to Shouhe Prefecture and specially erected a monument of ferry rules and regulations on the Niulu Wharf of the Sun River, and promulgated new traffic regulations at the wharf, so that the traffic could be unimpeded. The last of the regulations stipulates that "all those who have no money and have urgent matters must fly across, even if they are one person, they must also be sent".

Li Xiucheng implemented a reduction and exemption policy that was conducive to the people's livelihood in southern Jiangsu, and the people of Suzhou, whose lives had been improved, built a white marble tablet outside the gate, with the words "the people must not forget" written on it, to praise the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and praise Li Xiucheng. After the Qing army conquered Suzhou, they once inquired about this matter, "the people are right to reduce grain." The people of southern Jiangsu have deep feelings for Li Xiucheng, and there is a song that says: "In the spring, a hundred flowers bloom, and as soon as King Zhong comes to Yixing, my mouth is smiling." In the summer, the water is long, 'How can there be a loyal king's affection, I want the king to see his father and mother.' In autumn, the rice is yellow, and the rice is cut and beaten into grain, and it is given to King Zhong as military rations. In winter, when the snow is vast, my family is by the stove, and I will never forget the kindness of King Zhong day and night. Later, when Li Xiucheng led his troops from Suzhou to save Tianjing, the people of southern Jiangsu sang again: "The water in the Yangtze River flows eastward, and I am worried day and night." I don't worry about goodbye, I don't worry about you going and you won't look back! It can be seen that Li Xiucheng has won the hearts of the people.

"King Zhong, you are 'loyal to the ages'," a white-haired old man burst into tears, "you can't go!" ”

Li Xiucheng was disheartened and shook his head, "Old man, it's really not that I want to leave, I want to be loyal to the country and serve the king, but this Tianjing, don't say it!" Li Xiucheng was disheartened by some people who were dodging and spying on him, and now he had not seized the world, and the country was only half sitting, this person was fighting in the nest, Li Xiucheng shook his head, smiled miserably, turned the horse's head, and was depressed, and was ready to leave.

"Loyal to the king, loyal to the king!" A general squeezed through the crowd and shouted loudly at Li Xiucheng, who was about to leave, his voice was full of panic, "The King of England has been captured by the Qing Demon!" ”

"What!" Li Xiucheng couldn't believe it, "Didn't he go to Anhui to collect grain?!" How could you be caught by the Qing Demon! ”

There was a deathly silence on the long street, and a frightened expression appeared on everyone's originally depressed faces, that day, the god-like King of England, His Royal Highness Chitose, who was brave and invincible, was actually defeated!

"Heavenly King's Will!" A female official who had dragged out the emphasis took out a red cloth and looked around proudly, "The loyal king takes the order!" ”

The people on the long street knelt down again, and Li Xiucheng turned over and dismounted, "My subordinates take orders!" ”

"Give my brother's dragon robe to the loyal king's brother, and you will kill the kings below!"

Li Xiucheng took the dragon robe of Hong Xiuquan, but a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Li Xiucheng knew that Tianjing could no longer be defended, and he wanted to return to Beijing to persuade the king to retreat. He went to the palace to tell the king that Chen Tianjing could no longer defend it, and asked "let the city not go". He devoted himself to his loyalty, pleaded bitterly, and even asked to die in front of the temple in order to obey. The King of Heaven flatly refused and rebuked him severely. Li Xiucheng walked out of the court gate in tears, and all the ministers of the court came to comfort him, and the people of the city also wept. The king of heaven also gave him a robe of dragon to comfort him. Xiucheng had no choice but to obey the will of the king of heaven and stay in Tianjing. (To be continued.)
