"Brother Qin, what do you think about the Wing King's matter?" He asked Qin Rigang. [sp; x.
Like Chen Cheng? Qin Rigang didn't immediately think of the key point in this. He answered, "We have to catch up to the Wing King! As long as we can catch up to Yi Wang and persuade him to return to Tianjing City, everything will be fine! "
Chen Cheng? He knew that the Prince of Yan, Qin Rigang, lacked talent and could not see through many things. Under normal circumstances, Qin Rigang's good friend, Chen Cheng, would not be able to defeat Qin Rigang. She even felt that this was Qin Rigang's strength. But the situation was critical now. Chen Cheng? He had to make Qin Rigang fully understand the current situation. So Chen Cheng? He explained slowly, "Prince of Yan, now is not the time to catch up with King Yi. The Yi King had returned this time because he wanted the North King to take a step back and let the Yi King become the Left Assistant Military Advisor. He did not expect the North King to have no intention of backing down. Instead, he wanted the Wing King to back down. The two of them had a conflict … "
After the death of the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, Chen Cheng? He had always thought that the one who wanted to inherit Yang Xiuqing's power the most was Vézé, the commander of the strongest army in Heavenly State. But now, it seemed that Vézé's desire for Yang Xiuqing's power was pitifully small. On the other hand, Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui were fighting fiercely over the power of the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing.
In the initial plan, Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui would return to Tianjing City at the same time. The North King and the Yi King would attack together and immediately suppress the situation. But in reality, when Wei Changhui made his move, Shi Dakai was still wandering around outside leisurely. This time, Wei Changhui would take full responsibility for the murder. Shi Dakai's goal in coming to Tianjing City wasn't to endorse Wei Changhui, but to make Wei Changhui hand over the highest authority.
Chen Cheng? He had underestimated Shi Dakai's treachery. On the night that he failed to negotiate with Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai decisively escaped from Tianjing City. This was enough to prove that Shi Da's goal in returning to Tianjing City was not to settle the matter, but to obtain the legacy left behind by Yang Xiuqing.
The fight between Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai was not caused by Chen Cheng? He could intervene, but Chen Cheng? He also had his own standpoint. First of all, he supported Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, the biggest orthodox in Heavenly State. Second, Chen Chengxu. He had no intention of dying with anyone. If the North King, Wei Changhui, had no future, he would not mind asking Wei Changhui to bravely take responsibility for killing Yang Xiuqing and the King Of The East.
But how far would Shi Dakai go? Was he Chen Cheng? It was a matter of uncertainty. But no matter how far things had progressed, Chen Cheng? He couldn't kill Shi Dakai. If they killed Shi Dakai, the Taiping Rebellion would undoubtedly fall apart. Everyone would simply disperse and go home.
Chen Cheng? After a detailed explanation, Qin Rigang finally understood. Wing King Shi Dakai, who was able to oppose Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan and Northern King Wei Changhui in terms of status, undoubtedly represented the attitude of the various powers outside of Tianjing during the Taiping Rebellion. That was to immediately quell the unrest and ask Wei Changhui to take responsibility for the death of the King Of The East.
"Then isn't the North King dead for sure?" Qin Rigang asked nervously.
Seeing Qin Rigang, he finally understood. Chen Cheng? Chen Cheng? He continued to analyze further. "Brother Qin, whether or not the North King will die is already set in stone. But whether or not I will die depends on what Shi Dakai does. If Shi Dakai only wants to kill the North King, we will naturally be fine. But if Shi Dakai wants to kill us, then we will not be able to escape. "
Unexpectedly, Qin Rigang was not so agitated by this question. "We are loyal to the Heavenly King. The Heavenly King naturally knows that. If the Wing King wants to touch us, then he has to get the Heavenly King's permission. If the Heavenly King really wants to kill us, then we will accept it. "
"Ah?" Chen Cheng? Chen Cheng? He did not expect Qin Rigang to think this way. His judgment of the worst-case scenario was correct, but his response to it was too passive.
But Chen Cheng? After all, he was a smart man who had experienced so many life-and-death situations. Especially after so many people had died in Tianjing, he was a little more open-minded. It was hard to say how the situation would develop. Although Shi Dakai already had a huge advantage, Yang Xiuqing had an even greater advantage. Didn't he still die? At this moment, the most important thing to do was to wait and not mess up.
After confirming this, the two of them pretended to chase after Shi Dakai. Naturally, he had to move forward, but his speed of catching up wasn't fast. Of course, if Shi Dakai was unlucky and stopped, the two of them would not release him on purpose.
Qin Rigang and Chen Cheng? Two days after they left, they suddenly received news from their own people in Tianjing that the North King, Wei Changhui, had ordered Shi Dakai's entire family to be killed. Other than Shi Dakai's father-in-law, Huang Yukun, and his daughter, the rest of Shi Dakai's family had been killed.
Was Wei Changhui crazy? Chen Cheng? The same thought popped up in Qin Rigang's mind.
Wei Changhui didn't think he was crazy. In fact, he wished he was. Ever since he'd finished talking with Shi Dakai, Wei Changhui had sunk into the deep despair of having to face reality. He'd thought that since he'd killed the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing, he could immediately take over Yang Xiuqing's authority. But Wei Changhui quickly realized one thing. He'd thought that some of the generals outside were remnants of the King Of The East, but he was wrong. It wasn't that some of the generals outside were remnants of the King Of The East, but that all the generals outside were remnants of the King Of The East.
Whether it was Shi Dakai, Qin Rigang, or even Wei Changhui, they were all people sent by the King Of The East, Yang Xiuqing. But Yang Xiuqing didn't know that these people had already contacted the Heavenly King in private. Other than these three people, the others were sent out as subordinates that Yang Xiuqing trusted. They were the same as the people from the King Of The East's residence, Yang Xiuqing's subordinates.
Now, Wei Changhui completely understood where he'd failed. He'd completely misjudged the power Yang Xiuqing had in the Taiping Rebellion. This power was so great that even though they knew that Yang Xiuqing was a rebel, they still had to execute the people who killed Yang Xiuqing because of their ties to Yang Xiuqing. This meant that even if the person who killed Yang Xiuqing was the North King, Wei Changhui would still have to pay with his life for Yang Xiuqing's death.
This kind of understanding had undoubtedly sent Wei Changhui straight from heaven to hell. If he'd really been crazy, he could still live in his own spiritual paradise. But now there was no paradise for Wei Changhui to escape into. He could only accept the mental torture with a clear mind.
After a few days of torture, Wei Changhui's mind couldn't take it anymore. In despair, Wei Changhui gave the order to kill Shi Dakai's entire family. "Since I'm going to die, don't even think about it!" Wei Changhui thought angrily as he gave the order.
Shi Dakai's family had long been captured and brought into the North Prince's residence. With a single order, they were dragged out and executed at the entrance of the residence. Knowing that the families of his biggest rivals in the Taiping Rebellion had all been killed, Wei Changhui finally felt a little better.
The killing of Shi Dakai's family happened in the morning. Just after noon, there was a sudden burst of gunfire outside the North Prince's residence. Wei Changhui was stunned. Who had the guts to attack the North Prince's residence? But this surprise didn't last long before it turned into worry. He'd only brought five hundred men when he first entered the city. Most of the three thousand troops that entered were Qin Rigang's soldiers. At this time, Wei Changhui's other troops hadn't returned from Jiangxi yet. He knew that he'd committed too many killings in Tianjing, so he didn't dare recruit troops from Tianjing to supplement the North Prince's guards. The five hundred men guarding the North Prince's residence were still the same. Five hundred wasn't a small number, but it wasn't enough to guard the North Prince's residence.
In his panic, Wei Changhui vaguely heard someone shouting outside, "The heavenly king has decreed that Wei Changhui must be arrested for killing indiscriminately. The other brothers have nothing to do with Wei Changhui. Put down your weapons, and we won't kill you! "
"The heavenly king has decreed that Wei Changhui must be arrested for killing indiscriminately. The other brothers have nothing to do with Wei Changhui. Put down your weapons, and we won't kill you! "
This kind of shout was repeated over and over again. Each time it was repeated, the gunshots and shouts outside would weaken a little. Wei Changhui was a man of the killing field. He knew something was wrong the moment he heard the voice. He immediately called for his guards and charged out.
In the garden of the North Prince's residence, Wei Changhui's guards were surrounded. The person in the lead was Zhang Yingchen, a close subordinate of the Heavenly King. Zhang Yingchen's expression was as cold as ice. Seeing that he had led more than a thousand men to surround the North King and Wei Changhui's guards, he immediately waved his hand.
All of Zhang Yingchen's subordinates raised their guns and aimed them at Wei Changhui and his personal guards. At the same time, a person beside Zhang Yingchen stepped out from the crowd. His voice was as loud as a bell, and the moment he opened his mouth, everyone could hear him clearly.
"The heavenly king has decreed that Wei Changhui must be arrested for killing indiscriminately. The other brothers have nothing to do with Wei Changhui. Put down your weapons, and we won't kill you! "
After shouting three times, Wei Changhui's guards realized that they had no chance of winning. Resistance would only lead to death. No one knew who took the lead, but everyone threw down their weapons and left Wei Changhui's side. In just a moment, Wei Changhui became a loner, standing alone in the courtyard.
Looking at the ferocious enemies around him, Wei Changhui subconsciously took a step back. He found that his eyes, which had been uncomfortable under the sunlight, suddenly felt better. It turned out that he had actually retreated into a shadow. Looking up, he saw a tall watchtower in the garden. The watchtower.
This was the building that Wei Changhui had built when he was in charge of the defense of Tianjing City. From the watchtower, he could clearly see the signals on the city walls. Once the enemy attacked, Wei Changhui would personally go up to the tower to command. During the day, he would blow the flag and wave the horn. At night, he would hang up the lanterns. The soldiers would then attack and fight the Qing Army. At that time, Wei Changhui had commanded tens of thousands of Taiping army soldiers to defend Tianjing City day and night. But now, in Wei Changhui's house, he was left standing alone in his own garden.
Zhang Yingchen's troops didn't wait any longer. More than ten of them pounced on Wei Changhui and pressed him to the ground. They tied him up with ropes and gagged his mouth.
