"Hey...... Hehe...... Haha......"

Fengtian Palace, Phoenix Tower. Zhu Datianzi held Ali Guo's letter in his hand, the corners of his mouth kept curling, and he laughed heartily from time to time. Military advisor Luo Zenan, commander of the Fourth Army Liu Jiong, the new governor of Liaodong Li Hongzhang, and Liaodong Town chief soldier Peng Yulin all sat around Zhu Jishi, all smiling.

"Emperor Daoguang actually became the obedient king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Yang Xiuqing thought of it, and gave Gansu to Daoguang as a fief......"

Zhu Jishi put down the letter in his hand and smiled coldly: "And Daoguang's obedient king is still sealed by Yang Xiuqing, not only Hong Xiuquan is qualified to be crowned king in this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but even Yang Xiuqing can be crowned king for others...... Sure enough, as expected by the lonely king, the two masters of this country, one religion and two gods, is a way to get into trouble after all. ”

Luo Zenan shook his fan, holding a copy of the Chinese newspaper "Beihua Times" published by Tianjin foreigners, and said: "One country and two masters, one religion and two gods are just hidden dangers, but the centrifugation of the northern scholars can quickly kill the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." ”

The "Beihua Times" talked about many situations in Beijing, Zhili, Henan, and northern Henan, all of which were recorded by foreigners. Because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom belonged to the Christian heresy and had a "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" that was close to utopian socialism, many foreigners were extremely interested in this "Christian dynasty". However, after some visits, they were all disappointed. There are almost no articles in the Beihua Times praising the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but there are many articles criticizing it. What disappointed international friends was not the so-called "heretical" problem, but the ignorant, conservative, corrupt, and extremely chaotic administrative system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

In the words of a certain Western missionary: "...... They (the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom) want to take care of everything. We want to build a 'welfare society' that encompasses birth, old age, sickness, and death. At least judging from the provisions of the "Heavenly Dynasty Farmland System". But it is necessary to change certain systems from articles into policies that actually bring some benefits to the people. Enthusiasm and vision alone are clearly not enough. It still requires a lot of meticulous work, all kinds of unexpected obstacles and complex problems, so it needs an efficient, honest and responsible civil service to carry it out. But in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, there were obviously no such civil servants, not a single one, just a group of self-righteous peasants who did not know how to govern the country at all, and they did not know how to establish a new system. And they destroyed the old order before they knew where it was. Therefore, there is only disorder and chaos in Beihua now, and there is no "Heavenly Dynasty Farmland System" and there are no virtues advocated by Christ......"

Of course, the scholars were reactionary, but in this era, the new type of education was only in its infancy, and the proletariat had not yet been created, only gang gangs and lumpenproletarians, who were not much different from the gentry in their bones. So apart from the gentry, there was no class on which to rely on as a basis for rule. And the actions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are all correct in principle. First of all, it was anti-Confucianism and anti-gentry. Eliminate the root cause of China's weakness. The second is to divide the land and fight the local tyrants, and solve the land problem in order to win and mobilize the support of the peasants, who account for 90 percent of China's total population. The final is the establishment of a rural and urban management system that seems to be a people's commune system—Zhu Jishi suspects that Hong Xiuquan or Yang Xiuqing are probably like him. It is from the later generations, it is estimated that it is either the martyr of the agrarian revolution era, or the young general of the cultural G life era, or how to make such a thing?

It is a pity that although the system is good, the old brothers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are not the vanguard of the proletariat, and they simply do not have the ability to implement such an advanced system. As a result, it has become such a nondescript situation, and in some respects it is even worse than that of the Qing Dynasty!

"Your Majesty, now that the northeast has been flattened, we have formed a flanking attack on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from the north and south, it's time to recover the Central Plains and restore the Emperor Ming Jiangshan, right?"

Liu Jiong has now obtained the rank of army general and is the commander of the Liaodong Army Corps, which will soon be established. If the north and south attack the Central Plains, the commander-in-chief of the North Route Army will be none other than him, and the great achievement of recovering Beijing will belong to him nine times out of ten.

Everyone's eyes were all on Zhu Jishi, they were all Confucian students, and they naturally hated the anti-Confucian Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, of course, I wish Zhu Jishi would send troops to destroy this famous enemy as soon as possible.

Zhu Jishi shook his head: "Taiping Army...... After all, it has made great contributions to the country and the nation, if there is no Taiping Army to break the main force of the Manchu Qing Dynasty and destroy the city of Beijing, how can we directly smash the Yellow Dragon? ”

His gaze swept around the room, taking everyone's eyes into his eyes, including Liu Jiong, and everyone was puzzled. Zhu Jishi said with a smile: "Of course, the land of the Central Plains cannot be continued for them to entrench...... A decisive battle was inevitable, but after defeating the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they were still allowed to go west. If Yang Xiuqing is willing to surrender to my Daming, a king of Pingxi can still be sealed. ”

"King Pingxi? Wang, do you want Yang Xiuqing to be Wu Sangui? But who is ......" Li Hongzhang's words feel inappropriate here, this Wu Sangui is the most ruined but the Yongli regime of the Southern Ming Dynasty!

Zhu Jishi snorted and said: "There are a lot of ghosts and ghosts in the northwest, someone must go and clean them up, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom can't be built, and it's quite good at sweeping away Xiaoxiao, so you can use them." ”

He looked at Luo Zenan, and Luo Zenan nodded: "The plan to drive the tiger and devour the wolf is also feasible, but I am afraid that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will go to the northwest and collude with Tsarist Russia......"

Zhu Jishi said with a smile: "We can't not only drive tigers and devour wolves, but also be afraid of raising tigers, right?" If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wants to collude with Tsarist Russia, let's collude...... Let's drive tigers, Tsarist Russia raises tigers, and it's hard to say who this tiger will bite after the most reluctance. ”

……

Beijing, Yuanmingyuan Western Building. Emperor Daoguang returned to his favorite Great Water Method, but not as the Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, but as the King of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. His sparse white hair had spread out and draped behind him, and he was wearing a yellow satin robe that seemed to be clothes, and a papier-mâché hat on his head, with a coiled dragon on it, and a few beads, some gold and silver threads, and he looked at the clothes on the stage. He was followed by his son Yixu, who was a young and obedient king—that is, the meaning of being obedient to the prince's son, and his dress was similar to that of Daoguang, except that he did not have a papier-mâché hat, but wrapped his head in a yellow cloth. Behind the two of them was a bunch of red-robed and red-clothed officials of the Zunshun Wang, and the leader was Mu Zhang'a.

"His Royal Highness the East King has arrived! Kneel ......," a shrill voice sounded.

"Amma...... I'm going to kneel......" Yi Su was a little embarrassed to help Daoguang who seemed to be stupid and knelt down, Daoguang closed his eyes, and two lines of tears rolled down. Although he had been a prisoner for a while, it was the first time he had knelt down for the head of the Taiping army.

A short-stated, one-eyed man wearing a yellow dragon robe and a nine-dragon crown on his head swaggered out of the Western Mansion surrounded by two rows of female officials, and sat down on the throne next to the Great Water Law. This person was none other than Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who had the exclusive right of God's spokesman - he had temporarily rushed back to Beijing from the Shandong front.

"Bye...... One kowtow! A shrill voice continued.

"Amma...... It's time to kowtow......" Yisu reminded her father in a low voice as she bowed her head. The Qing Dynasty is dead, and he is already a prisoner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, whether he can be released back to Ganshan and Shaanxi to make a comeback depends on his performance this time.

Daoguang cooperated and kowtowed to Yang Xiuqing, and Yang Xiuqing stretched out a hand without waiting for him to bow again: "Excuse yourself and sit down." ”

It's polite, and he didn't let Daoguang kowtow eight times according to the big salute.

"Respectful to the king," Yang Xiuqing looked at Daoguang and said in a deep voice, "Er's throne is sealed by Heavenly Father, and the land of Gansu has been loved by the Xinjueluo family for generations. King Gu is the fourth son of Heavenly Father, so naturally he should escort Er to Gansu to take office on behalf of Heavenly Father. However, the lone king was stumped by the military affairs of Shandong, and he sent 50,000 soldiers to escort you to Shaanxi and receive the land of Shaanxi. (To be continued......)
