The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 357: It wasn't Hong Xuanjiao's butt that was hit, it was the face of the Western King! (Please subscribe, please vote)
It was already very dark, and the entire Wu Wang Mansion was quiet, with only the lights in the bedroom of Luo Yaoguo and Su Sanniang. Luo Yaoguo and his newlywed wife had a passionate love affair, venting all the longing they had accumulated for several months. Now he still felt a little unsatisfied, and was not sleepy at all, just leaning on a few high pillows and talking sweet words to Su Sanniang.

Su Sanniang, who was standing by, pulled half of the quilt to cover her waist, which had not yet recovered, still showing a large area of ​​white skin. She looked lazy, leaning against Luo Yaoguo, letting her husband's hands play with her plump body. Because she had just given birth, her originally tight body was fully relaxed. After gaining a whole circle of weight, some parts of her body became a little hot, and it felt very good to knead.

After playing with it for a while, Luo Yaoguo turned his head and smiled at his smiling wife. Then he changed the subject and asked about something serious: "Did Sister Xuan Jiao leave Tianjing and return to Wuchang?"

Luo Yaoguo and Hong Xuanjiao had been exchanging letters. Before he left Shanghai this time, he received a letter from Hong Xuanjiao, which only contained a few words, saying that she did not want to stay in Tianjing anymore and wanted to return to Wuchang. She also asked Luo Yaoguo to move the "Preaching Hall" originally opened in the Wuwang Palace in Tianjing, which was the school that Hong Xuanjiao helped to set up and specialized in training overseas missionaries of the God Worshipping Society, to Suzhou. The letter was full of grievances, and no one knew who had made her angry.

"Well," Su Sanniang said softly, "she left half a month ago. It seems that she was speaking for King Yi, and her words were too harsh, and she contradicted the Heavenly King. The Heavenly King was furious and ordered his female officials to take her down, strip her pants, and beat her with a stick for more than ten times, and then she left in anger."

"Why is there still the matter of King Yi?" Luo Yaoguo was stunned. "Didn't King Yi fight well in Jiangxi?"

He had too many things to do during this period of time, so he didn't pay much attention to what was happening in Tianjing. In his opinion, Yang Xiuqing was in the north, he was in the east, Xiao Chaogui was in the west, Feng Yunshan was in the south, Shi Dakai was taking over Jiangxi, and Hong Xiuquan could just win by doing nothing in Tianjing, so why bother?
So Luo Yaoguo asked Su Sanniang to help him check the news sent from the Wu Palace in Tianjing.

Su Sanniang shook her head and smiled bitterly, "In Jiangxi, the Southern King, the Wing King, and the Western King have joined forces. Jiao Hong and Xu Xianggui have also sent troops from Zhuzhou and Liling to attack Yuanzhou Prefecture. The progress is of course smooth. It should be basically pacified in the first half of this year."

Since the beginning of this year, the Western King Xiao Chaogui and Jiao Hong and Xu Xianggui, who were sent by the Wuwang Mansion in Suzhou to Zhuzhou to take over the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Hall of the God Worshipping Society, have also joined the Jiangxi battlefield, and together with Shi Dakai and Feng Yunshan, they besieged Zhang Fei, the governor of Jiangxi Province of the Qing Dynasty. Among them, Xiao Chaogui personally led the army across Jiugong Mountain and attacked the area northwest of Nanchang Prefecture that borders Wuchang. Jiao Hong and Xu Xianggui sent troops from Zhuzhou to attack Yuanzhou Prefecture where the Anyuan Coal Mine is located. Shi Dakai and Feng Yunshan came from the north and south to meet in Ji'an Prefecture, and have surrounded Zhang Fei, the governor of Jiangxi Province of the Qing Dynasty, in Luling City, the first county of Ji'an.

At the current rate of progress, the entire province of Jiangxi will be the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the first half of this year!

After taking Jiangxi, Feng Yunshan and Shi Dakai could join forces to capture Guangdong. Once Guangdong was attacked by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Qing Dynasty's rule in Fujian would also be shaky. By then, it would be almost certain that Luo Xueyan would be appointed as the Governor-General of Fujian and Zhejiang, and Zuo Zongtang would be appointed as the Governor of Zhejiang.

By then, Zuo Zongtang would be able to lead his Second Regiment of the Nanyang Army into Hangzhou openly, and Luo Xueyan would be able to lead the First Regiment of the Nanyang Army into Fuzhou. Not to mention the two provinces of Fujian and Zhejiang, all the counties in the two provinces should be captured before 1856.

Guangdong was already full of Tiandihui, and even without Feng Yunshan and Shi Dakai's attack, they were still able to stage the "Red Soldier Uprising and Siege of Guangzhou City" event. If these two great gods, Feng Yunshan and Shi Dakai, entered Guangdong, Ye Mingchen would not be able to resist them even if he had three heads and six arms.

If Guangdong is lost, Guangxi will certainly be unable to sustain itself - Guangxi relied on Guangdong's financial support to survive during the Qing Dynasty. Without Guangdong's money, Guangxi's Green Camp and training troops would have to eat dirt and would definitely be lost.

As for those prefectures in Hunan and Hubei that were still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty, after Guangxi, Guangdong, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Fujian and other provinces fell into the hands of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom one after another, they would definitely be seized by Xiao Chaogui, Zhu Jiutao, Jiao Hong and others.

It should not have been difficult for Yang Xiuqing to capture the prefectures south of the Huai River that were still in the hands of the Qing Dynasty in 1854 and 1855.

By that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had become as powerful as it was before Zhu Yuanzhang swept north!
Next, whether it is advisable to use the remaining courage to pursue the enemy, or to let Xianfeng bear the mess in the north for a few more years, while the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom develops the "New China" for a few more years, lays the foundation for national education and industrialization, and then marches north, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will have the last laugh.

Thinking of this, Luo Yaoguo frowned, and said with anger in his tone: "He has already won by sleeping well, why is he still making such a fuss?"

"It is said that the Prince of Yi wanted to establish a government in Jiangxi. He wanted to recall the Prince of Yi to Tianjing and replace him with Hong Rengan as the governor of Jiangxi. The Queen Mother of the West sang a different tune and her words were not pleasant to hear. The Heavenly King turned against her and in a rage, he ordered someone to spank the Queen Mother of the West on the spot."

"What? How dare he?" Luo Yaoguo sat up suddenly. This Hong Xiuquan is so unfilial!
This won’t do. We must ask Ji Du to come down to earth to deal with him!
Su Sanniang's lively eyes suddenly stared at Luo Yaoguo, and she said word by word: "He didn't hit Sister Xuan Jiao's butt, he hit the West King's face. It was the West King's face!"

She used a strong tone when she said the word "West King".

Luo Yaoguo was slightly stunned, staring at Su Sanniang's eyes that suddenly became serious. Su Sanniang said again:

"Sister Xuan Jiao is a good person, but a little bold. She doesn't care much about the distinction between men and women. She is very friendly with the brothers who came to the mortal world with her. Although it is just a simple brother-sister relationship, the King of the West may not have no grudges in his heart."

"The Heavenly King must have seen this clearly, so he had Sister Xuan Jiao spanked in public. If the Eastern King and the Southern King rushed to defend Sister Xuan Jiao at this time, the Western King's face would probably be even more swollen."

Of course, she would not mention the possibility that Luo Yaoguo would stand up for his good sister Hong Xuanjiao, but how could Luo Yaoguo not understand?
In this matter, it was not convenient for Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan and Luo Yaoguo to take the lead, so Xiao Chaogui had to go to Hong Xiuquan to settle the score with a swollen face.

But is he willing to take the lead?
Hong Xiujiao stood up for Shi Dakai to block Hong Xiuquan and was beaten. Should Xiao Chaogui hang Hong Xiujiao up and beat her, or should he go to Hong Xiuquan with a swollen face to argue?
If Xiao Chaogui did not step forward, could Shi Dakai withstand the pressure from Hong Xiuquan and not return to Tianjing?
Once Shi Dakai returned to Tianjing, not only would the territory of Jiangxi be taken into Hong Xiuquan's possession, but this Heavenly King would also be able to firmly suppress all the princes and nobles of the Heavenly Kingdom below Luo Yaoguo.

Although the four great masters were all very powerful, Shi Dakai had the Heavenly Kingdom's Left Army, and Wei Changhui had the Heavenly Kingdom's Right Army. Although Hu Yihuang and Qin Rigang were not the commanders of an army, they also had their own direct lineages, and their armies were not under the command of the Five Commanders, but under the Palace Front of Hong Xiuquan.

In addition, Hong Xiuquan also had thousands of female combat soldiers led by Bian Sanniang at his disposal.

All these scattered strengths added together are not inferior to those of the four living fathers. If they were all twisted by Hong Xiuquan, he would be considered "unfilial"!

It seems that Hong Xiuquan beat Hong Xuanjiao because he was angry and out of control, but in fact it was probably well planned.

Luo Yaoguo thought about it and finally turned his gaze to Su Sanniang.

Su Sanniang shook her head and said softly, "Your Highness, there are many troubles in the Wu Wang Mansion! The land distribution has been fully launched in Suzhou and Changzhou, and people are making trouble everywhere. You have to lead the troops to inspect it in person.

Primary schools have been built in various counties, but there are no teachers, textbooks, or students. You have to find a solution!
The Kunshan Military Academy has been repaired, but there are no teachers, textbooks, or students.
In addition, three of the four armies in the Shang army are only equipped with 3,000 foreign rifles. When will the foreign rifle factory in Shanghai be built? "

Luo Yaoguo thought for a while and nodded gently: "This matter is not so easy to get over. If Xiao Chaogui doesn't step forward, Hong Tianwang will definitely push his luck! The next target he will target will most likely be me!"

Su Sanniang nodded and said, "Your Highness, you must prepare early. Don't be caught off guard by him like King Xiaoxi and King Shiyi."

Luo Yaoguo smiled coldly and said, "How can I not be able to handle his tricks?"
