Huang Weijiang was Yang Xiuqing's brother-in-law and was originally in charge of the defense of the East Gate and North Gate. After losing 10,000 of his troops to Vézé, his forces suffered a great loss. Wait for Heavenly Lord Chen Cheng? Shouldering the heavy responsibility of the future Military Counselor's Mansion, when he went to negotiate with Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, he called his nephew Chen Delong to a quiet place.
"Delon, I order you to leave the city and meet the Prince Of Qi, Vézé," Huang Weijiang ordered.
"Why?" Chen Delong was confused by this unexpected order. His younger brother, Chen Degui, had his troops seized by Vézé. Whenever Vézé was mentioned, Chen Degui would curse like a farmer who had lost his land and cattle. Of course, Chen Delong was also greatly affected by his younger brother's grievances. He did not think that it was unreasonable for Vézé to lose 10,000 troops to Yang Xiuqing. Instead, he completely believed that it was Vézé who had lost 10,000 troops to his younger brother, Chen Degui. Chen Delong also felt that his uncle, Huang Weijiang, who was not related to him by blood, should also be filled with righteous indignation. Chen Delong was extremely surprised to see that Huang Weijiang wanted to send someone to see Vézé.
"Delong, sooner or later, we'll have to get back what happened to Degui. But now is not the time to talk about this. " Huang Weijiang comforted Chen Delong before continuing, "Delong, do you think I should be the Left Assistant Military Advisor?"
"Of course, Uncle should be the Left Assistant Military Advisor!" Chen Degui immediately expressed his support.
Huang Weijiang nodded in satisfaction. "The Heavenly King only wants to meet Chen Cheng? At this moment, he, Chen Cheng? Don't you know how to plan for yourself? If he could persuade the Heavenly King, then the Heavenly King would give the order to build the Military Advisor's Mansion for Chen Chengxiang. He became the Left Assistant Military Advisor. What should we do then? "
After Chen Delong heard this, he quickly said, "Uncle, quickly send someone to see the Heavenly King and have a good talk with him!"
Huang Weijiang sighed, "I've already sent people over, but the Heavenly King doesn't want to see my people, so there's nothing I can do!"
"This … Heavenly King …!" Chen Delong almost couldn't help but curse, but thinking that this was a Heavenly King after all, he didn't dare to. After saying that, he could only shut up. After pausing for a moment, he said resentfully, "Uncle, why did you send me to see Vézé?"
Huang Weijiang lowered his voice and said to Chen Delong, "Once the King Of The East's residence becomes the military counselor's residence, Vézé will still be the frontline deputy military counselor. We can't do anything to him when he has his troops outside. We can't touch King Yi's position either. I sent you to see Vézé to tell him that if Vézé wants to be the frontline deputy military advisor, the King Of The East's residence will have the final say. Then, when it comes to who becomes the Left Assistant Military Advisor, Vézé will know what to say. "
Chen Delong suddenly realized that Huang Weijiang wanted to obtain Vézé's support in the fight for the position of Left Assistant Military Advisor. Huang Weijiang was the Kuang Marquis, so his position was definitely not lower than that of the Zuo Marquis. Under. Vézé's current position was higher than Huang Weijiang's and Chen Cheng's. Under. If he obtained Vézé's full support, it would be logical for Huang Weijiang to become the Left Assistant Military Advisor.
Thinking of this, Chen Delong said worriedly, "Uncle, what if Vézé refuses?"
Huang Weijiang shook his head, "He doesn't know anything now, so he can only listen to what we say. I asked you to find Vézé now so that we can do it before anyone else. The establishment of the military counselor's residence is so urgent. If we are ahead of everyone else and Vézé decides to support someone else, wouldn't it be even more troublesome? "
"Alright! I'll go see Vézé now! "Chen Delong immediately agreed as this concerned his family's future. Not long after, he changed his clothes and left the city with a few people.
While Huang Weijiang was arranging for Vézé, the two officials of the East Hall, Marquis Yi and Ji Chengzi, were also discussing Vézé's matter with Marquis Fu Xuexian. Unlike Marquis Kuang and Huang Weijiang, the two of them had sent out envoys ahead of everyone else.
Marquis Fu Xuexian had a serious skin disease, and his face was half white and half white. Anyone who saw him would be frightened by his frightening face, and they wouldn't even remember to guess what he originally looked like. When Wei Changhui attacked the King Of The East's residence, Fu Xuexian was nearby. When he realized that something was wrong, he led his troops over. Because the difference in strength between the two sides was too great, Fu Xuexian's troops were quickly defeated by Qin Rigang's troops and had to retreat to the east of the city.
After that, the violent Fu Xuexian kept shouting that he wanted to immediately mobilize the entire army to annihilate the troops of North King Wei Changhui and Prince Yan Qin Rigang. However, the people of the King Of The East's residence felt that they had to solve the problem of Vézé first. He was alone, and the matter of attacking North King Wei Changhui had to be put on hold. At this time, he said to Marquis Yi, Ji Chengzi, "I never expected that the Prince Of Qi would be ranked third among the seven kings of the Heavenly State! If I had known earlier, I would have befriended him. "
Before Yang Xiuqing was killed, the Taiping Rebellion had the Heavenly King, King Of The East, North King, Yi King, Prince Of Qi, Prince Yan, and Prince Yu. Now that North King Wei Changhui had killed Yang Xiuqing, he definitely had no future. Prince Yan Qin Rigang had been stripped of his title before he followed Wei Changhui. The King Of The East was dead. Now, the order of kings that could still be recognized was Heavenly King, Yi King, Prince Of Qi, and Prince Yu.
In terms of military achievements, Prince Yu, Hu Yihuang, was far inferior to Vézé. When he joined Wing King Shi Dakai on the expedition to the west, he only had five thousand men under him. There was no way he could compare to Prince Of Qi, who had forty to fifty thousand troops under him. Wing King Shi Dakai had always been suppressed by the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing. His direct subordinates were only four to five thousand. Most of them were relatives that Shi Dakai had brought with him when he revolted in Guang Xi. In terms of military strength, Prince Of Qi Vézé was already the number one military force in Heavenly State.
Marquis Yi Tian, Ji Chengzi, sighed. "The King Of The East has always been suppressing Yi King, but he had no choice but to send Yi King on the expedition to the west. Wasn't it because he was worried that Prince Of Qi's merits would be too great? If Prince Of Qi defeated Zeng Yaotou, Yi King wouldn't be able to raise his head in front of Prince Of Qi. This Vézé isn't someone from the King Of The East's residence. He's just a general that the King Of The East had sent outside. When the King Of The East was around, we all underestimated him. Looking at it now, we really shouldn't have done that! "
The King Of The East's residence's Minister of the East system wasn't the official system of the Taiping Rebellion. When King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, was still alive, his power was all over the court. As the King Of The East's personal subordinates, the Minister of the East system completely replaced the administrative system of the Taiping Rebellion. At that time, the Minister of the East had their noses in the air and looked down on everyone. However, once Yang Xiuqing died, the Minister of the East realized that the system they were in had completely broken away from the imperial system of the Taiping Rebellion. Without the Left Assistant Military Counselor, King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, as the cornerstone of power, they didn't have a legitimate reason to be in power.
Vézé, who had always been regarded as a foreign official, had become the Prince Of The Qi during the Taiping Rebellion. Now that Yang Xiuqing was no longer around, his importance was constantly rising. A few days ago, one word from the King Of The East could decide the life or death of the Prince Of Qi. Now, without the support of the Prince Of Qi, any decision could not be carried out smoothly.
Because of this, Marquis Yi Tian, Ji Chengzi, and Fu Xuexian, Marquis Fu Xuexian, immediately sent someone to contact Vézé after the King Of The East's residence confirmed the establishment of the military counselor's residence. The two of them didn't think that they could take over the position of King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing's Left Assistant Military Counselor. The reason they contacted Vézé was that both of them had offended Wing King Shi Dakai when they were Minister of the East under Yang Xiuqing. The Wing King, Shi Dakai, was already the second most powerful man in Heavenly State. In the future, he would be one of the leaders of the Military Advisor's Residence. If Shi Dakai wanted to retaliate in the future, the two of them would have Vézé as an ally. Even if they couldn't say that they had nothing to fear, they could at least feel more at ease.
Of course, the three of them were not the ones who informed Weize. There were at least a dozen leading figures in the King Of The East's civil service group. They either sent their subordinates individually to contact Vézé, or two or three of them together to contact Vézé. With the common goal of establishing a military counselor's residence, Vézé, who was yesterday's archenemy, immediately became an ally that could be united. Yesterday's comrades on the same ship had undoubtedly become enemies in the struggle for power.
Just as everyone in the King Of The East's residence had their own thoughts and were making their own choices and hard work, Heavenly Zuo Tianhou, Chen Cheng? Finally, they arrived at their destination, the Heavenly King Manor.
Under the watchful eyes of many people, the guard opened the door a crack. Chen Cheng? He squeezed into the Heavenly King's Manor through the crack in the door. Then, the door was firmly shut. With that, these people immediately began to pass on the news to their respective superiors. Heavenly Zuo Tianhou, Chen Cheng? After entering the heavenly king's residence, the meeting that would truly decide the future of the King Of The East's residence began.
Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan still hadn't made an appearance. Participating in the meeting were North King Wei Changhui, Yan Prince Qin Rigang, and Heavenly Zuo Tianhou, Chen Cheng? Three people. It was said that Vézé had already withdrawn from Tianjing City and taken all of his subordinates and relatives with him. Wei Changhui laughed coldly. "I didn't expect Vézé to be so cautious!"
Wei Changhui felt an indescribable anger at the mention of this person who shared the same surname. Logically speaking, Wei Ze should be closer to Wei Changhui since they were both surnamed Wei. Yang Xiuqing's subordinate, Yang Fuqing, originally had no kinship with Yang Xiuqing, but in the end, he recognized Yang Xiuqing as his ancestor and immediately became the ancestor of the country. Vézé, on the other hand, had chosen to seek refuge with Yang Xiuqing from the very beginning.
Wei Changhui didn't particularly dislike Vézé's choice. He was angry that Vézé had made the right choice. Yang Xiuqing dared to use people. No matter who they were, as long as they were willing to risk their lives, Yang Xiuqing would give them a chance. If Vézé had been under Wei Changhui, he probably wouldn't have had so many opportunities to take risks. It was by relying on these opportunities that Vézé had actually killed his way out and earned the position of Prince Of Qi. While Wei Changhui was under Yang Xiuqing in charge of Tianjing City's garrison, Vézé conquered Anhui, went north to rescue the Northern Expedition Army, and then went south to attack the Jiangbei Barracks. He had achieved outstanding military service.
Vézé's life was like death for Yang Xiuqing, so that Yang Xiuqing could leisurely attack Wei Changhui. It could be said that Vézé's contribution brought Yang Xiuqing's calmness and pride. Yang Xiuqing's calmness and pride meant that Wei Changhui had been dealt a heavy blow by Yang Xiuqing.
Of course, Wei Changhui couldn't forget that he had gone to find Vézé to ask about the situation in Anhui. A few days after that, Yang Xiuqing first announced that he wanted Wei Changhui to go to Anhui and stripped him of his military power. Then, he removed the order to send Wei Changhui to Anhui. The dignified North King had been reduced to a powerless and powerless position in Tianjing City.
Therefore, when he came to assassinate Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui had specially arranged for a troop to attack Vézé's Prince Of Qi residence. Wei Changhui had given the order to not leave anyone alive, so he didn't have to consider persuading Vézé to surrender. He didn't expect Vézé to be so cunning that he didn't even live in the Prince Of Qi residence. With this, Wei Changhui didn't even consider the possibility of reconciliation with Vézé. When he heard that Vézé had brought his subordinates and relatives with him when he retreated, he couldn't help but mock him.
Qin Rigang didn't have much contact with Vézé and didn't have any ill feelings towards Vézé. No matter how much Wei Changhui mocked him, Qin Rigang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that Vézé had left Tianjing City. He said anxiously, "We have to act quickly! If Prince Of Qi finds out before we have complete control of Tianjing City, we will be in trouble! "
Hearing that Qin Rigang was so afraid of Vézé, Wei Changhui sneered and said in a malicious tone, "Vézé followed the Southern King, and the Southern King went to heaven. Followed the Northern King, and the Northern King went to heaven. Followed Yang Xiuqing, and Yang Xiuqing died too. Now, the people in the King Of The East residence are blinded by lard and want to establish a military advisor residence above Vézé. Don't they want to die? Whoever Vézé is below must die. They don't understand that Vézé is a jinx! "
Although these words sounded like they were said out of anger, Qin Rigang and Chen Cheng were brothers in Heavenly State. They were all old brothers of the Heavenly State and were very clear about Wei Ze's history. Thinking of the scheme they had set up and comparing it to Vézé's past, the two of them couldn't help but change their expressions.
The North King, Wei Changhui, continued viciously, "If they had seen through Vézé's personality and willingly submitted to Vézé, we would have been in deep trouble. But since they insist on being above Vézé, it goes without saying that our plan will succeed! What are those people from the King Of The East's residence? Do they deserve to be compared to the South King, the North King, and Yang Xiuqing? "
This theory of destiny, which had no scientific basis, was a view that was easily accepted in China. When Wei Changrong finished speaking, although he might not fully believe it, Qin Rigang and Chen Chengyu did not. They couldn't help but nod slightly.
