"Someone in command?"

Yang Xiuqing was a little disapproving: "Who is so bold to touch the tiger's buttocks?" What are the benefits of doing so? ”

Du Han said with a smile: "His Royal Highness the King of the East, this imperial family affair has always been a major national event, and now someone is talking about this, it should be the topic of Zhu Ming's party dispute." This partisan dispute can be said to be a major reason for the weakness of the former Ming Dynasty, and now this old problem has come again. ”

He glanced at Yang Xiuqing, and saw that the other party was squinting and expressionless, so he continued to say, "At present, the party struggle in the Later Ming Dynasty is even worse than that in the former Ming, and it has reached the point of openly forming a party for personal gain, and Zhu Jishi's family law has always been relaxed, and the harem has close traffic in front of the dynasty, and even formed a party." In the past, Zhu Jishi's wife was not in the country, and no one rectified the harem, but now that Queen Luo has returned to the country, it is estimated that she wants to manage Zhu Jishi's harem, these tabloid articles should be the party of Queen Luo to create public opinion, and the next step should be ......"

Yang Xiuqing glanced at Du Han, who was talking with relish, and snorted: "It's all trivial things, the family is not peaceful, and the strict family law is it, which woman will be honest if she whips it down." This kind of thing is not difficult for Zhu Jishi, let's talk about something else. ”

Du Han lowered his head, feeling that he had changed the newspaper and glanced at it: "Zhu Jishi issued an edict, announcing that the Huaibei and Southern Zhili Jiangbei regions and the Jianghuai region of Anhui are under martial law!" ”

Yang Xiuqing smiled: "Martial law...... It's going to start! ”

Then he beckoned, and several generals who were waiting in the room, Qin Rigang, Hu Yihuang, Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, Lin Qirong, and Zhang Lexing, all came over. These people have all been crowned kings by Hong Xiuquan, but in front of Yang Xiuqing, they all dare not hold their tails together, this Hong Xiuquan can be crowned king. Yang Xiuqing was able to kill them in one sentence!

"It looks like Zhu Jishi is determined to fight us. It is estimated that it will be after he becomes emperor! What do you guys think? Is there a chance? ”

The six Taiping Heavenly Kings all looked at each other, although from the map, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Ming Dynasty were facing each other in the north and south, and they were evenly matched, but the difference in strength between the two was still very obvious. In addition to surpassing Zhu Ming in terms of military strength, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was far inferior to Zhu Ming in terms of financial resources, material resources, population size, military training level, and weapons and equipment. If the two countries engage in military exchanges, it will be a decisive battle at the level of a million-strong army. It is not a conspiracy or trickery, but a national strength that is strength.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can't be defeated at all!

"You also think you can't beat it?" Yang Xiuqing laughed when he saw the faces of the six people, "Actually, I don't think I can beat it, but it's honestly fighting with them!" But since ancient times, there have been wars that can be won honestly? If our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fights in a dumb war, don't say it's Zhu Ming, even the Manchu Qing can't beat it, what is the result? Hasn't Emperor Daoguang become the obedient king of my heavenly kingdom? ”

"What the King of the East said is very true." Several kings hurriedly complimented.

Yang Xiuqing touched his beard and said with a smile: "If there is a way, there must be a way...... I don't know how many examples of the weak defeating the strong since ancient times. At that time of the Three Kingdoms, didn't the Cao family's 830,000 army let Zhou Lang burn it clean? Do you know where this Cao Cao lost? ”

Several people nodded. He shook his head again. They have either read or listened to the Romance of the Three Kingdoms. But they're all old fighters. Who would have believed that a single fire could burn an army of 830,000?

Yang Xiuqing asked and replied to himself: "This Cao Cao lost in the light of the enemy, and lost in ignorance of the geographical advantage." If the battlefield is moved to the Central Plains, how capable Zhou Yu and Zhuge Liang will be able to block the Cao family's cavalry and horses? But when it comes to the Yangtze River, the soldiers of the Cao family will not fight water battles! Moreover, Cao Cao looked to Eastern Wu before he gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and wanted to unify the world in one fell swoop, but he capsized in the Yangtze River. Haven't you noticed that Zhu Ming's situation now is similar to Cao Cao's back then...... And our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the Sun and Liu Alliance!

As long as we lure the Zhu family's army to the Central Plains, to the north of the Yellow River, and to our territory, when the time comes, the location, people and people are on our side, there will be a way to destroy it in one fell swoop! ”

The six princes looked at Yang Xiuqing's confident appearance, and immediately plucked up their strength, and they all responded loudly: "Yes, we will definitely be able to defeat the enemy in one fell swoop!" ”

Seeing that his subordinates were full of confidence, Yang Xiuqing smiled with satisfaction: "This king has calculated, our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has three victories in this battle: one victory is blessed by Heavenly Father, and my Taiping Army is all Heavenly Father's children, even if they die in battle, their souls will return to heaven, so they are fearless; When the second victory is in the sky, it is already autumn, and the big war between us and Zhu Ming will break out in winter, the north is cold, and the southerners must be unbearable when they first come, and when we go north, many brothers and sisters will die of illness due to water and soil adaptation; Three wins in the geographical advantage, this battle my Taiping army is the master, the Ming army is a guest, has taken the lead, the north and more flat land, is the battlefield of the horse team galloping, the Ming army horse team is scarce, compared to me have tens of thousands of fine horses. Once the three will win, our Taiping Army will definitely dominate the world! ”

……

Ying Tianfu, Swallow Rock Wharf.

This small port, located in the northeast of Yingtian City, has now been surrounded by the Ming army on the third floor and the outer three floors, and all idle people and others have been blocked from afar. Several inconspicuous sand boats leaned against the pier, and more than a dozen graceful, white-skinned or dark-skinned women, all dressed in full-breasted skirts in the style of the Tang Dynasty, were escorted by several large black men to silently get on the boat - these people, including those large black people, were all "goods" that Liu Peng bought from Istanbul, those women were female slaves, and the black people were the black eunuchs who managed the female slaves. It cost Zhu Jishi a total of 13,000 pounds, compared to Maria. Clementina bought the 26 Arabian stallions she gave to Zhu Jishi for half the price.

On the pier, a black four-wheeled carriage had just stopped, and the people on it did not get down, but watched the scene on the pier from afar.

"Isn't that a natural thing to do? Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. The leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had absolute power, so absolute corruption was inevitable. ”

The person who spoke was Zhu Jishi, the son of the great tomorrow, and the person who listened to him was Friedrich. Engels.

Engels nodded and said, "Yes, this is natural...... The theocratic system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was very backward, there was no check on power, and corruption was a matter of course. It's just that I'm very curious about how such a corrupt regime could have formulated such an advanced system as the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System". ”

"Maybe Yang Xiuqing or Hong Xiuquan is really a traveler, right?" Listening to Engels' question, Zhu Jishi thought uncertainly, "But he must be a low-level traveler, and he can't be compared with himself, at least he won't be able to use the golden finger technique......"

However, the "Heavenly Dynasty System of Fields and Mu" is certainly advanced, and its advanced nature does not lie in the equal division of land, because the peasants' desire for land can be seen even by the blind, and any slogan of equal division of land will certainly win the support of some poor peasants. However, the "Heavenly Dynasty System of Fields and Mu" does not all contain content to please poor peasants, nor is it limited to the countryside, but has many utopian socialist contents, some of which are still deeply hated by Chinese peasants and handicraftsmen in this era. For example, the essence of the former is the secondary distribution of agricultural and handicraft products, while the latter is to achieve direct command of social production and product distribution by the state through semi-military management!

If such a system is not advanced, then what are the utopian socialists in Europe tossing? Isn't what they want to pursue is a strengthened version of the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System"?

Therefore, when the specific provisions of the "Celestial Dynasty Farmland System" were published in Europe, it immediately caused a sensation among European left-wing politicians. Otherwise, Engels would not have traveled all the way to China to inspect the revolution.

Unfortunately, the ideal is beautiful, but the reality is cruel, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has obviously chosen an advanced system that exceeds the current level of consciousness and social production of the Chinese. If China's social productive forces are now at the level of 1917 Tsarist Russia, Hong Xiuquan is China's Lenin, and Yang Xiuqing is China's Trotsky. (To be continued......)
