"Chief of the General Staff, you were looking for me!" Lin Shaozhang raised his hand and saluted Lin Fengxiang. He was Lin Fengxiang's younger brother. He was now the Deputy Minister of the Logistics Department and was in charge of the military production department. Lin Shaozhang liked Western learning and was proficient in drawing, machinery, and artillery surveying. However, he was not a great general, so he was doing well in the military department.
The mission Lin Fengxiang gave his brother was quite confidential. "Go and meet Brother Lei Hu and discuss the route of our army to the north. Also, see what kind of support Brother Lei Hu can give us. You have to ask this clearly. "
Seeing that his brother had accepted the order and left, Lin Fengxiang breathed a sigh of relief, but a self-deprecating expression immediately appeared on Lin Fengxiang's face.
In all fairness, if there was anyone who could make Lin Fengxiang feel more reliable than Lin Fengxiang himself, it was undoubtedly Vézé, Vézé's Liberation Army. In the early years, he had imitated the General Staff Department, but that was really copying the cat and drawing a tiger. It was not until he received the Liberation Army General Staff Department's middle-level and low-level personnel came to seek refuge that Lin Fengxiang felt suddenly enlightened.
Those people wrote down a few basic concepts of the General Staff Department's system, one of which was as follows: "The combat training subjects are not designed to achieve the training content of certain victory, because that is impossible. The responsibility of the combat training department is to sort out what we need to do on the battlefield, find out the lowest and simplest standards, and start training based on them. "
When he first saw this, Lin Fengxiang even thought that this group of people was playing with him. Lin Fengxiang went to question those officers, but he did not expect to be refuted by them. Those officers of the Liberation Army said, "If we don't set a minimum standard, are we going to set a mark of flying over eaves and running over walls?"
Of course, Lin Fengxiang was not satisfied with this retort. He said, "No matter how low the standard is, it has to be a standard that can hit Qing Yao, right?"
Hearing Lin Fengxiang's standards, all the officers were amused. One of them said, "According to your standards, how many of your soldiers can do it? Why is the first sentence of the combat training course 'The combat training course is not designed to achieve certain victory, because that is impossible'? You're making an impossible request right now! "
After all, Lin Fengxiang was a veteran. After hearing this, he suddenly came to a realization. From then on, a whole new world unfolded in front of him. The name of that world was Military Science. The person who named it was Vézé.
Now that the Taiping army's expedition was almost a foregone conclusion, Lin Fengxiang was looking forward to receiving guidance from Vézé. Just like Vézé's military philosophy, Lin Fengxiang did not expect Vézé to point out the possibility of certain victory. He only hoped that Vézé could set a tone and set a basic direction for him. With this basic direction, Lin Fengxiang could continue to move forward.
After sending Lin Shaozhang away, Lin Fengxiang still had to attend the court meeting. It was a very foolish idea to count on the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to lead everyone to success, and what the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan had demonstrated now was his ability to spoil everyone's plans. For example, without the approval of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, Lin Fengxiang could not carry out the "Western Expedition" alone at all. Once the Western Expedition was carried out alone, the morale of the troops would fall. The morale of the troops was condensed on the flag of the Taiping Rebellion. Without this flag, there was no reason for them to work for Lin Fengxiang. Of course, some would choose to follow Lin Fengxiang, but more would choose to rush back to Heavenly State or even seek refuge with Vézé. Even someone like Shi Dakai had ended up deserted by his own people, let alone Lin Fengxiang.
Although Lin Fengxiang had his own plans to persuade Hong Xiuquan to go to the northwest, the timing of Li Shouyi's appearance and the problems it caused were too strange. Before figuring out the problem, Lin Fengxiang did not want to get involved at all.
The Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan was still the same as before. First, he cursed that Vézé would turn into a bug and go to hell after death. Then, he said that he was the second son of the Heavenly Father and had been ordered to build Heavenly State on earth. And Heavenly State would definitely be built.
After a round of talking, the Minister of Justice, Huang Yukun, stepped forward and said, "I have something to report."
After receiving Hong Xiuquan's promise, Huang Yukun began to talk. The content of his talk was that Jinling lacked the royal aura, which would hinder the establishment of the imperial court. At that time, the King Of The East had decided to build the capital in Jinling as a transitional plan. The real plan was to build the capital in Beijing. It was not suitable to attack Beijing for now, but they could go to Xi'an first. The Qin, Han, Sui, and Tang dynasties all started in Xi'an. Although no dynasty had used Xi'an as a base to conquer the world for thousands of years, it had also accumulated a thousand years of royal aura. To trigger this royal aura, Hong Xiuquan, the true lord, had to go to Xi'an.
Lin Fengxiang was dumbfounded. When he was young, Lin Fengxiang had been a fortune-teller. Lin Fengxiang was very familiar with what Huang Yukun said. The purpose of Huang Yukun's expression was undoubtedly to give a reason for Hong Xiuquan to go to the northwest.
Just as Lin Fengxiang was dumbfounded, Huang Yukun continued. Hong Xiuquan's brother, Jesus, had a process of atoning for everyone in the world, and Vézé's aggression was undoubtedly a test given by God to Hong Xiuquan. As long as he complied with the test and faced the challenge bravely, Hong Xiuquan would be able to win in the end. And a clown like Vézé thought he was great, but in fact, Vézé was just a tool of God. Vézé was just a stepping stone set by God for Hong Xiuquan's path.
After listening to this, Lin Fengxiang almost suspected that Huang Yukun had peeped into Lin Fengxiang's thoughts. In fact, no matter how Lin Fengxiang thought about it, it was too easy to be seen through to create auspicious signs and anomalies. And reasoning was the most useless way to deal with Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan. Therefore, the more reliable solution was undoubtedly to make up a myth.
But Lin Fengxiang still remembered what happened to "Heavenly Father Yang Xiuqing" in the end. As a direct subordinate of "Heavenly Brother Xiao Chaogui," Lin Fengxiang was also very clear about the alliance agreement between Xiao Chaogui and Yang Xiuqing. Many people said that if Xiao Chaogui had not died, the Heavenly State would not have come to this. Lin Fengxiang somewhat supported this statement. At least, if Xiao Chaogui did not die, Hong Xiuquan would never have the chance to give orders. And many years later, when Lin Fengxiang recalled the past, he understood many things at that time. When Western Prince Xiao Chaogui was still alive, the Heavenly King had a deep fear of "Heavenly Father" and "Heavenly Brother".
If Lin Fengxiang dared to come up with any tricks like descending to the mortal world, he might as well send troops to kill Hong Xiuquan. No matter what, Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan would not allow anyone to share the dignity of the Heavenly State with him.
Since he could not play with ghosts and gods, he could only make use of them. What Huang Yukun said was undoubtedly the statement that Lin Fengxiang had considered, but there were many loopholes in this statement, so Lin Fengxiang still wanted to consider it. He did not expect Huang Yukun to beat him to it.
After listening to Huang Yukun's words, Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan was silent at first. After an extremely oppressive silence, he asked, "What do you think?"
