The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 68 That is my Heavenly Father, it belongs to me! (The last public chapter)
The first county of Yongzhou Prefecture is Lingling.

This is a fortified city surrounded by water on three sides and backed by a mountain on one side!

Lingling is surrounded by the Xiao River on the east, south and west, and there is a Dongshan Mountain to the north of the city.

Although there is an open area between the Xiaoshui River and the castle to the east of Lingling City, where some siege troops can be deployed, there are quite a few Qing monsters in Lingling City, a full 8,000, not including the Yongzhou Prefecture militiamen who assisted in defending the city. Including them, there are more than 10,000 people!
Moreover, there are tough guys like He Chun and Jiang Zhongyuan in Lingling City!
In the past few days, Yang Xiuqing tried several times and sent Luo Dagang to lead the elite Taiping Army to land in the east of Lingling City, but he failed to gain a foothold and was driven down the Xiaoshui River by He Chun and Jiang Zhongyuan who arrived in time.

While Luo Dagang was trying to land, Yang Xiuqing ordered Shi Dakai to lead the Left First and Left Second Armies to go around the Xiangjiang River to the north of Lingling City and land to the south. Although they captured several towns, they could not take Dongshan, which was heavily guarded by the Qing army. Several attacks were repelled by He Chun and Jiang Zhongyuan at the cost of their lives!

So after the siege for some days, Yang Xiuqing was a little frustrated to find that the Taiping Army under his command had no way to attack the city. The so-called siege was just a siege without an attack.

What made Yang Xiuqing even more headache was that the main force of the Taiping Army was traveling with a large number of family members, which was not only extremely inconvenient but also extremely costly.

Now that Lingling could not be taken, the Taiping Army could only station itself to the east of Lingling, in a wilderness called Niupitan on the east bank of the Xiaoshui River. Not only was life very inconvenient, but their not-so-much stored food was being consumed every day.

The only thing to be thankful for was that Feng Yunshan and Luo Yaoguo's troops made smooth progress in their march towards Daozhou and captured several towns in succession.

However, doesn’t the success of Feng Yunshan and Luo Yaoguo serve to highlight his failure?

If Feng Yunshan and Luo Yaoguo capture Daozhou City in the near future, will his prestige as the Left Assistant Military Advisor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the commander of the central army, and His Highness the East King, who controls all the kings, be enough to suppress Feng Yunshan and Luo Yaoguo?

Therefore, Yang Xiuqing was so anxious during this period that he was in a state of panic and could not sleep well. He even had a nightmare last night. He dreamed that Luo Yaoguo took out a purple gold bowl and wanted to take Yang Xiuqing away on behalf of God. Yang Xiuqing was so scared that he woke up on the spot and broke out in a cold sweat.

At this moment, he was sitting in his "royal tent" discussing military affairs with his four great national leaders - Yang Yuanqing, Yang Fuqing, Yang Yiqing, and Yang Runqing, and he was still distracted from time to time.

"Dong Wang, Dong Wang, Dong Wang, Your Highness, what are you thinking about? Is God about to come down?"

When Yang Xiuqing's "Guangdong big brother", Yang Yuanqing, the leader of the Guangdong Tiandihui who ran to Guangxi to rebel, came over and asked questions with concern, Yang Xiuqing realized that he had been distracted for a while.

Yang Xiuqing couldn't let these "brothers" whose origins were unclear see his fear, so he quickly stroked his beard and said with a smile: "The Heavenly Father just sent me a message, telling me that there will be good news, so I should concentrate on fighting and not worry about other things."

When Yang Yuanqing, Yang Fuqing, Yang Runqing, and Yang Yiqing heard this, they all looked surprised. Yang Xiuqing was also a little puzzled when he saw their expressions.

What's going on with these people today?

Did he really get fooled, or was he just pretending to be fooled?
"Dong Wang, the good news that the Heavenly Father spoke of has arrived!" Yang Yuanqing grinned, "It just arrived!"

Yang Fuqing, who was short but looked fierce, added: "This good news was brought by Chen Chengrong himself. He is waiting outside the tent now."

"Chen Chengrong?" Yang Xiuqing was startled. "Daozhou?"

"You are indeed a prophet!" Yang Runqing, who had a very smooth face, said with a smile, "Daozhou has been taken over by the Angel of Peace!"

So fast. Yang Xiuqing thought: How was this battle fought? Could it be that Luo Yaoguo was really the "Archangel Michael" as Hong Xiuquan said?
"Brother," Yang Xiuqing's "little brother" Yang Yiqing stood up and said, "Do you want to ask Chen Chengrong to come in?"

"Call him in!" Yang Xiuqing said, "Call him in!"

"Yes!" Yang Yiqing agreed and turned to call Chen Chengrong.

"Hahaha, I knew that my eighth brother was a fighting angel who had descended to earth! Now it's settled, I can sit on the throne even if I sleep soundly!"

In the center of the Niupitan camp, in a large yellow tent, Hong Xiuquan, the king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was walking around excitedly. He was so excited that he couldn't help dancing a few times.

However, Hong Renfa, who came to tell him the good news, and Zeng Shuiyuan, his confidant sent by Southern King Feng Yunshan, both frowned slightly, as if there was something they were not convenient to say.

Hong Xiuquan was too excited, but he also found that the expressions of the two people were not right. He looked around and found that there were too many people in the big tent. There were eight queens and eighteen female musicians who were preparing to serve him, the true saint on earth, for meals.

It’s so lively when King Hong has a meal. He gets to enjoy music while eating and drinking!
"Everyone, go away. I'm not hungry yet." Hong Xiuquan waved his hand and sent them away. Then he asked Hong Renfa and Zeng Shuiyuan, "Afa, Ayuan, what happened?" Hong Renfa and Zeng Shuiyuan looked at each other and sighed together - it's time to give reports!
Although I don't want to fight, I still have to fight!

"Heavenly King," Hong Renfa spoke first, "that Angel of Peace is good in every way, except that she is not very good at distributing money."

"Share, share the money?" Hong Xiuquan was stunned, and immediately waved his hand, "It's a small matter, it's a small matter, Ah Fa, you make it sound like I'm so stingy."

Hong Renfa shook his head: "Heavenly King, the Angel of Peace is not just greedy. If that were the case, I would not have told you. He... He changed the rule that everything belongs to God!"

"What? How could he do this?" Hong Xiuquan looked surprised.

In fact, Luo Yaoguo's greed was nothing to Hong Xiuquan. He came all the way from heaven and didn't even deliver takeout to help him build his empire. What's wrong with him making a little money? Although Hong Xiuquan was not very generous, he was not so petty either.

But Luo Yaoguo changed it to "All things belong to God", which violated the doctrine of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
Hong Xiuquan's face looked a little ugly.

"And." Hong Renfa felt a little sorry for Luo Yaoguo when he saw Hong Xiuquan's expression. Why didn't you do something else? Why did you have to provoke this crazy guy? He has been crazy since he was a child. Once provoked, he would get angry!

"Anything else?" Seeing that his good brother seemed to be hesitant to speak, Hong Xiuquan asked in a stern voice.

"He also changed the title of Heavenly Father and Emperor God."

"what?"

Hong Xiuquan had already stood up, "What has it been changed to?"

"Change it. Change it to Heavenly Father Haotian Emperor and add the word 'Haotian'."

"crash"

Hong Xiuquan overturned the table, and the bits and pieces on it fell all over the floor.

Although he had failed the examination to become a scholar many times, and his poems about Heavenly Father were written carelessly and his calligraphy was illegible, he had studied the Four Books and Five Classics diligently. How could he not know what this "Haotian God" was?
"How dare he? He is my Heavenly Father, he belongs to me! Even if Heavenly Father wants to change his name to Lord Haotian, he will still appear in my dreams! Who does he think he is? He is just Heavenly Father's godson."

Hong Xiuquan roared and roared, and his originally fair face turned red!

"King of the East, the angel Naropa divided the fields and the spoils, and he also changed the rule of returning everything to the Lord."

"The King of the East, he also recruited the great demon Yu Wanqing to surrender, and also recruited Hong Daquan's brothers, wife, sister-in-law, military advisor and a lot of other people in Hunan to join his gang?"

"King Dong, he has not yet implemented the male and female camp system among the new brothers and sisters."

"Also, he changed the title of Heavenly Father Emperor God to Heavenly Father Haotian Emperor God!"

"What? What does he want to do? He he he."

Yang Xiuqing, who had just finished listening to Chen Chengyong's report, was as shocked as Hong Xiuquan!
Luo Yaoguo is really good at making trouble!

Do the rules of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom not exist in his eyes?
Moreover, he also changed Tianfu Huangshangdi to Tianfu Haotian Huangshangdi. What does this mean?
Isn't the Heavenly Father's surname "Ye" and his given name "Huohua"? Why did he change his name to "Haotian"?

But then again, it does sound weird to call someone "Huohua" when his surname is "Ye". "Haotian God" sounds more elegant and classy!
This Hong Xiuquan is so confused, could he have remembered the name of the father in heaven wrongly?
This is not a easy thing to do. When I was dancing for the God of Heaven, I also called myself "Ye Huohua"!

Thinking of this, Yang Xiuqing lowered his voice and said, "Come here, go find the King of the West and his wife, immediately!"
