Chapter 1659: Good Heavenly King
Zaiheng, Duanhua, Yixin, etc., were all deeply valued by Vanguard Commander. Most of those in the Hall of Mental Cultivation at this moment were Vanguard Commander's ministers of the orphan, and they were the true power holders of the current Great Qing.
The foreign adults who beat them into a full head of bags and brought them great pressure couldn't even pass moves with Wang Yan, were beaten until they fled in panic, and fled in a mess. For these masters who were bullied, this impact was really too great.
At this time, they thought of the foreigners who had previously abandoned the second attack, and the incident was provoked, and it ended again in a short time. At that time, they thought it was because Wang Yan beheaded the foreigners and was stimulated by the foreigners.
Now it seems that perhaps the foreigners had long known that Wang Yan's threat was significant, but there was no way. So they could only invest resources in the Great Qing to let the Great Qing suppress Wang Yan, so as to ensure their interests in the Divine Land.
It is not that the foreigners are kind and gave up continuing to scrape the Great Qing, but they have no choice...
This time, the Great Qing is truly swaying in the wind and rain.
Cixi finished feeding the medicine, cared about a few words, and then took the little Tongzhi who could just walk and left the Hall of Mental Cultivation with a crowd of people.
At this time, Cixi was relying on her son for her value, but she didn't have much power. She was just Vanguard Commander's little wife. Even if Vanguard Commander died and little Tongzhi ascended the throne, and Cixi listened to politics behind the curtain, her power didn't reach the point of monopolizing power. At that time, there were still Vanguard Commander's ministers of the orphan.
And even after the Xinyou Coup, Cixi didn't have the power to reach the sky. There were still Ci'an and Yixin. She was grabbing power little by little, aiming for the supreme...
"Cough cough..."
Vanguard Commander covered his mouth and coughed twice, weakly saying, "Wang's thief is powerful, even the foreigners were beaten until they fell, and now Magistrate Di and Magistrate Jiang cannot withstand the offensive. The three provinces of Xiang-E-Gan are afraid they cannot be kept. The one surnamed Jiang in the north has also reached Anyang, and will enter Zhili in a few days to attack Shijiazhuang. There are also Taiping thieves watching covetously. My Great Qing is already as dangerous as a pile of eggs. Do the ministers have any good strategies?"
"Master, that Wang thief has occupied Bashu and Guanzhong, and now he is managing Yunnan, Guizhou, Shangan, the border, and the plateau, and learning from foreigners to engage in industry. The guns and cannons he built himself are better than those of foreigners, beating the foreigners until they fled in panic. Many things that foreigners can produce, they can also produce. I heard that he also made some chemical fertilizer, and the grain output is higher year by year, and he also built small buildings for the common people to live in.
Master, Wang thief's general trend has been formed, we are afraid..."
"Foreigners cannot be relied upon, we cannot beat Wang thief, and the common people below are also eager to let Wang thief break in. Master, this time my Great Qing is afraid... afraid that it really cannot hold up, so we should make plans early..."
Even if they knew that Vanguard Commander's body was not good, these ministers still said the truth hard, stimulating Vanguard Commander's chest to fluctuate rapidly.
After all, it has reached the critical moment of life and death. Where is there any heart to say so many useless things? If you should say it, you have to say it. There is no chance to decorate the world with peace, you have to face the cruel reality.
Vanguard Commander breathed evenly and looked at Yixin: "You have had contact with that Wang thief, and there are people under your command doing business with him. Tell me."
"Emperor, the ministers just said it right. Wang thief's general trend has been formed, and he is not afraid of foreigners. Even if we have foreign help, after all, they are far across the ocean, and their troops are not enough. In the final analysis, foreigners are here to earn silver from our Great Qing, not to send silver to us. If they lose too much, they have no way, and they will definitely stop losses in time and withdraw. So foreigners cannot be relied upon.
And now Wang thief has gained an advantage. As long as he maintains this momentum steadily, he can get the world. Emperor, you say that under such circumstances, no matter who is the master, it is impossible to stop fighting. No matter what conditions we promise, it is useless. After all, as long as we are destroyed, what benefits can he not get?"
Yixin spoke more directly about the reality, "Emperor, there are also Taiping rebels. They watch Wang thief advance by leaps and bounds, and they will definitely not be willing to fall behind. It won't be long before they will raise troops to attack my Great Qing. It is estimated that it will be in these one or two years. Manpower is hard to save. Emperor, should consider the retreat... Emperor? Emperor!"
Yixin's words hadn't finished yet, and he saw Vanguard Commander on the couch coughing violently. The whole person's face was flushed, and he hurriedly moved to soothe...
Tianjing, different places, but the same snow fell.
Heavenly King's Mansion, Hong Xiuquan stood in the warm room, looking at the snow scene outside through the glass window.
After a few years of comfortable days, he, who was once strong, had gained weight, and his face had become round. However, after the Tianjing Incident, his spirit was damaged, and these days were not easy, and he had become much thinner.
He naturally received the news, and even faster. At present, although Su Zixuan is with Wang Yan, she didn't say she completely broke away from the Heavenly Kingdom, and would still provide Wang Yan with some information to the Heavenly Kingdom.
Although the Heavenly Kingdom did not directly fight Wang Yan, the problems faced by the Manchu Qing were the same. After all, the Heavenly Kingdom and the Manchu Qing had been fighting for several years, and the strength of both sides was about the same level.
However, Wang Yan's war against the Manchu Qing was a steady horizontal push. Watching it couldn't be blocked, pushing over step by step, wanting to use any schemes, but because people didn't covet merit and advance, they had no achievements, and could only retreat, retreat, and retreat step by step. Until finally there was no retreat, and completely finished. Just thinking about it, that kind of huge pressure made people desperately unable to breathe.
Speaking of foreigners, during the Opium War, they had already shown their strength to the fullest. 20,000 troops beat the Great Qing until they knelt and begged for mercy, and signed the Treaty of Nanjing.
Of course, because of Wang Yan now, the weapon gap between the two sides has been leveled, but it is not to the extent that the 20,000 troops of foreigners plus the tens of thousands of troops of Magistrate Di and Magistrate Jiang were still beaten by Wang Yan until they fell and collapsed.
But the result was that they were beaten by Wang Yan until they fell and collapsed. The troops of Magistrate Di and Magistrate Jiang were fighting with fewer and fewer people, and even the foreigners had no will to fight and fled in a mess.
"Heavenly King, you are a wise person, and I believe you can also see that the King's army is invincible and cannot be blocked. After he destroys the Great Qing, he will definitely not want to see the Heavenly Kingdom hinder his pace of unification.
But if you and the Great Qing join forces, and then have our help, the situation will be different. We have already talked to the Great Qing Emperor, and he is willing to form an alliance with the Heavenly Kingdom. As long as the King is destroyed, he is willing to share half of China with you.
Heavenly King, this is the last road, the last choice. If you refuse this time, then what awaits you will be total annihilation, and you will have nothing. Are you willing to burn the results of so many years of hard work?"
Behind the Heavenly King, a foreign devil was persuading with broken Chinese.
He is a British naval general, likes Chinese culture, collected many antiques, and is also a careful learner of Chinese, able to write and speak.
The Heavenly King still stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes condensed looking at the willow-like floating snow outside the window, which was truly a rare heavy snow.
After a long silence, the Heavenly King turned back and said: "Even if I die, it is impossible to cooperate with you. You should die of this heart."
"Heavenly King, you must think clearly. If you don't agree, then it will really be a disaster. This great landscape will be cheaply given to Wang Yan."
"That is better than being cheap for you, better than being cheap for the Manchu Qing. Why did you come to find me? That shows that you are afraid, you can't beat Wang Yan, and you are afraid that you won't be able to grab silver on the heads of the Chinese in the future.
Share China with me? How can you have such good intentions? Don't think I don't know, if you can really destroy Wang Yan, then you will definitely target me in the future. Because I don't sell opium, and I don't like you foreigners, and I don't listen to your orders, you will eventually support the Manchu Qing."
Looking at the foreign devil with a somewhat ugly face, the Heavenly King sneered, "You may not know, Wang Yan analyzed the situation before. He has more confidence in me than I do. Do you know what he said?"
"What?"
"He said that I would definitely not cooperate with the Manchu Qing, nor would I let foreigners bully me. This is why, when he fights now, the place adjacent to my Heavenly Kingdom, the troops stationed are not many, almost equal to no defense!
It is better for Wang Yan to get the world. He understands your industry and can make you afraid. After he stands firm in the future, according to his temper, your retribution will come. If he can build an ironclad warship, he can hit your hometown.
And Wang Yan got the world, I will definitely not die. He will definitely be willing to let me die comfortably. You are different. You have not assassinated me less in these years, it is estimated that it is only less than Wang Yan."
The Heavenly King very fairly acknowledged Wang Yan's status as a hard-to-kill king. He simply couldn't imagine how Wang Yan lived over the years. It was simply living in assassinations every day, various assassination methods emerged one after another. This life is too hard...
"Heavenly King, you will regret it."
"Cooperating with you is what I regret! Get out!"
The Heavenly King waved his hand, ending this exchange.
The foreign devil left the Heavenly King's Mansion angrily, but his heart was desperate.
Because they really have no way. Wang Yan's front line advances day by day, and it will be under the capital in a few days. Although it cannot destroy the Qing court, it can drive the Qing court away from the capital. At that time, the Great Qing is basically finished. By that time, this kind of horizontal push force rolls up, and other places will automatically surrender. Where to accept where, there will be no resistance.
The Heavenly Kingdom fights the Manchu Qing five-to-five, then the Manchu Qing's encounter can be brought into the Heavenly Kingdom, almost the same ending, unable to resist.
Their money path here is about to break...
Wuchang, in a few months, this city has changed a lot.
Before, except for those who were soldiers, there were no living people here. But now, this city with water and land transportation has become lively again.
I don't know where a group of people came from, re-registered, and distributed farmland. Factories were also built outside the city, and thick black smoke came out of the chimneys, and many trucks came in and out every day.
The docks on both sides of the Yangtze River have been repaired, and boats of all sizes come and go on both sides, transporting goods and people, which is very busy.
The city has also begun to have fireworks, various shops have opened, the common people are busy working, and a city is operating like this...
Su Zixuan followed Wang Yan slowly on the road, looking at the environment in the city.
"I didn't expect that in such a short time, Wuchang City has changed so much."
"As long as there are people, there is nothing that cannot be done." Wang Yan carried his hands on his back, feeling the city that was beginning to recover.
Walking and stopping like this, chatting for a while, Su Zixuan said: "Why does it feel like the situation in the world has changed suddenly? Because of fighting foreigners?"
"You should understand, before, 20,000 troops of foreigners wanted to destroy the Manchu Qing court. Now it is still 20,000 troops, but they were beaten by Shi Dakai until they fled in panic. Many people's impression of foreigners still stays before, thinking that foreigners are invincible, so they are respectful and respectful to the foreign adults.
Now they find that foreigners can't beat us, so they panic in their hearts, go to the doctor in a hurry, and bump around like headless flies, wanting to find a way to kill us."
People's thinking has inertia. Foreign adults are not given for nothing, and the impression they bring to the people on this land is too deep, fearing to the bones.
Thinking about it, you can understand. The ironclad warship that had never been seen before opened with black smoke, the artillery roared, one shot killed a piece, the fire gun banged, and harvested lives like cutting grass. How can such a huge gap not make people afraid.
When fear becomes a habit, the idea that foreigners are invincible is deeply planted, so it is difficult to change. Even in the post-epidemic era of the 21st century, there are still people who firmly believe that foreign countries are good...
Su Zixuan turned and said: "There is a letter from the Heavenly King, saying that foreigners are pulling him, wanting to unite with the Manchu Qing to fight us. The Heavenly King refused. He doesn't want to completely merge with the Manchu Qing and foreigners. Also said that merging with them, there will definitely be no good end in the future. If he surrenders to you, he can still be a happy prince."
"It's not a matter of whether he wants to or not. The chaos in Tianjing before made the Heavenly Kingdom's vitality hurt and the military heart unstable. Just like I told you before, he cannot violate his outline, otherwise he will not live long."
Wang Yan shook his head, and then said, "It is a good thing that he doesn't merge. If he really joins forces with the Manchu Qing and foreigners to fight us, it is really not easy for us to handle. This is their only way at present.
The Heavenly King was dizzy by the stable life, but the big festival was not lost. However, the Manchu Qing and foreigners are black-hearted and cruel. If he doesn't cooperate, maybe they will incite the people below to mutiny and rebel. When you reply to him, remind him, don't capsize in the gutter, and have no life to be a happy prince."
The Heavenly Kingdom is naturally not an iron plate, and it is not even the Heavenly Kingdom. Even the Huoshan under Wang Yan's occupation is the same. The people below have various betrayals, after all, the benefits are their own.
The Huoshan under Wang Yan is like this, let alone the Heavenly Kingdom, which is setting in the sun, with internal contradictions, and the people in power have their own thoughts. At this time, people are really easy to be provoked to ambition, taking risks to fight for greater benefits.
Moreover, at this time, whether it is the Manchu Qing or the foreigners, they are very willing to spend money, one is struggling on the verge of death, one is unwilling to lose the huge market for making money, and even has to add an enemy who may rebel against the sky...
