Usurping the Qing Dynasty: My first love was Cixi

Chapter 140: Nanchang flag change is shattered!

Chapter 140 Nanchang changes flag! Disillusionment!

Upon hearing this decree, Yang Fuqing, deputy commander of the Taiping Army in Jiangxi, was stunned.

He knelt there, completely unable to move, and tears burst out for a long time.

Countless grievances finally poured out.

The Heavenly King finally remembered him.

He finally waited for this day.

Since Yang Xiuqing died, he has been in a daze all day long. Sometimes he wanted to lead his troops back to Tianjing to avenge the Eastern King, and sometimes he wanted to leave.

He himself didn't know what he wanted.

But just at that moment, he suddenly understood.

He couldn't leave the Kingdom of Heaven, and he was loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven, not the Eastern King. It's just that in the past, the Kingdom of Heaven was the Eastern King, and the Eastern King was the Kingdom of Heaven, and the Heavenly King had been hiding in the Heavenly King's Palace and not caring about things.

Now he also understands that the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to the Heavenly King after all.

As long as the Heavenly King works hard, there is still hope for the Heavenly Kingdom.

Hong Renli said: "In fact, the Heavenly King did not want to kill the Eastern King. He knew that the Eastern King had worked hard to build the country, so when the Eastern King said he wanted to proclaim the emperor, the Heavenly King agreed. The Eastern King said that the Crown Prince should also proclaim the emperor, and the Heavenly King also agreed. It was Chen Chengrong who hated the Eastern King and complained to the Heavenly King that he would be killed the day the Eastern King offered sacrifices to the Heavenly Father and officially proclaimed the emperor. The Heavenly King did not want to die, so he ordered Wei Changhui to arrest the Eastern King and interrogate him. And Wei Changhui, the treacherous king, hated the Eastern King so much that he killed the Eastern King's entire family and implicated many others, which led to the Tianjing Incident."

"Now the Heavenly King has put things right and ordered the arrest of Wei Changhui, Qin Rigang and other rebels. But this upheaval has caused too many casualties in my Heavenly Kingdom, and we are so short of capable officials, so the Heavenly King thought of you."

Yang Fuqing knelt on the ground and cried: "The Heavenly King is wise, I knew it was like this, There are treacherous ministers who have bewitched the Heavenly King. And the Eastern King is also wrong. He is too domineering. How can he take away the Heavenly King's majesty. "

Hong Renli said: "Okay, I still need to convey the order to Wei Jun."

When Yang Fuqing heard this, his face suddenly changed, and he kowtowed and said: "The Prime Minister can't go."

Hong Renli said: "Oh, why is this?"

Yang Fuqing hesitated for a long time, kowtowed desperately and said: "Prime Minister, I am wrong, I am guilty."

Hong Renli said: "What's wrong with you? Even if Tianjing has undergone drastic changes, you still led the army to defend Nanchang. You have no merits. "

Yang Fuqing cried: "I am wrong, I am guilty."

Hong Renli frowned and said: "What happened? '

Yang Fuqing said: "I thought I was abandoned by Tianjing, and it happened that the Qing demon came to surrender, so..."

Hong Renli's face changed and said: "You, you actually surrendered? ”

Then, Hong Renli sneered: "If that's the case, then capture me and offer me to the Qing demons for merit. Maybe I can even be promoted to a higher rank."

Yang Fuqing kowtowed desperately, and then slapped himself repeatedly and said: "I am guilty, I am guilty."

Then, he said: "Prime Minister, don't go to see Wei Jun. Wei Changhui is his biological brother. He is determined to surrender to the Qing demons. If you go, I'm afraid you will really be harmed by him."

Hong Renli sat down and said: "It's ridiculous. The king of heaven is still thinking about you all the time and made you a king. The king of heaven originally wanted to arrest Wei Jun and ask for punishment, but the king of Yi recommended him, saying that this person is talented, but the king of heaven did not dare to confer him, but asked Wei Jun to return to Tianjing and give you all the military power in Nanchang. "

After listening to this, Yang Fuqing did not expect that the king of heaven actually valued him so much. He couldn't help but cry out in pain: "I am guilty. I was blinded by lard. ”

Speaking of which, Shen Baozhen is really amazing.

In history, neither the Hunan Army nor the Qing court seized the golden opportunity of the Tianjing Incident to persuade the relevant people to surrender. Persuading Wei Jun to surrender was a matter of 1859, when Wei Jun had long been forgiven by Hong Xiuquan.

But in order to gain merit and because of Su Ye's pressure, Shen Baozhen immediately recruited Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing to surrender.

Such vision and courage are really remarkable.

No wonder he was able to stab the Hunan Army in the back in the future, and then rose step by step. In 1861, he served as the governor of Jiangxi, and then became the governor-general of Liangjiang and the minister of commerce in Nanyang.

Hong Renli said: "Yang Fuqing, tell me honestly, are you still loyal to the king of heaven and the kingdom of heaven?"

Yang Fuqing said: "I was about to tell the prime minister that I was confused and painful before, and wanted to find a way out for myself and my brothers, so I surrendered to the Qing monster. But after I really agreed, I felt more painful and guilty. Now I understand it completely. I am a person of the Kingdom of Heaven in life and a ghost of the Kingdom of Heaven in death. Even if I die, I will be loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven and the Heavenly King. "

Hong Renli said: "The Heavenly King appointed you as the auxiliary king, which shows his expectations of you. If he knew that you had surrendered to the Qing demon, how sad he would be. "

Yang Fuqing trembled and said: "Then, what should I do?"

Hong Renli said: "Tell me the whole story, and I will help you think of a solution."

Next, Yang Fuqing told the whole story in detail.

Hong Renli asked about every detail, not letting go of any detail.

Then, she closed her eyes and began to think.

Yang Fuqing looked at Hong Renli with expectation. In fact, his talent was also very good, but now was the most confused time, and because of his faith, he had a flattering mentality.

But after looking at it for a few more times, he didn't dare to look at it again.

Because she was so beautiful, no wonder so many men in the Kingdom of Heaven were fascinated by her, and even fought against each other.

Xiao Chaogui, Shi Dakai, Lin Fengxiang, etc.

Hong Renli opened his eyes and said: "Do you want to keep this throne? Do you want to make meritorious service?"

Yang Fuqing said: "I am willing, Prime Minister, please give the order, Prime Minister, teach me."

Hong Renli said: "On May 10th, your army will leave Nanchang and set out for Ruizhou, right?"

Yang Fuqing said: "Yes, and you have to dismiss 10,000 people."

Hong Renli said: "When you withdraw from Nanchang City, the Qing army will enter Nanchang, and Wei Jun's troops in the city at that time cannot take weapons, right?"

Yang Fuqing said: "Yes. Wei Jun's army must stay in the barracks and surrender all weapons."

Hong Renli said: "This Wei Jun is determined to surrender to the Qing monster, right?"

Yang Fuqing said: "Yes."

Hong Renli said: "Then, on the tenth day of May, you will lead your army to leave Nanchang City as agreed. But when the Qing army appears and And when you start to enter the city, you suddenly attack the Qing army. "

"In addition, on the day of the flag-changing ceremony, you arrange a good position for me to assassinate Wei Jun. "Hong Renli said: "I will directly assassinate Wei Jun and then put the blame on the Qing army. After Wei Jun dies, you will be the highest general of the Taiping Army, and the two armies will unite to strangle the Qing army together. "

Yang Fuqing said: "Okay, okay, this method is good."

Then, his eyes suddenly turned and said: "In this case, why not just act better and fake my assassination, but not die, indicating that the Qing army is going back on its word, seemingly surrendering, but actually wanting to get rid of us. "

Rationally speaking, it is impossible for the Hunan Army to assassinate Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing at this time. This will only anger the 40,000 Taiping Army, which will do more harm than good to Shen Baozhen.

However, if the incident happened suddenly, the thinking of the 40,000 Taiping Army would not be as good as the heels, and they would definitely react.

It's not just the Taiping Army, most armies are like this.

Because when there are more people, the collective IQ drops sharply.

Next, Yang Fuqing suddenly said: "Prime Minister, you can't do that."

Hong Renli said: "Why not?"

Yang Fuqing said: "Prime Minister is worth a lot of money, how can you risk your life to assassinate Wei Jun? I will arrange the manpower."

Hong Renli said: "Can the manpower you arrange be better than mine? That's it, this is an order."

Then, Hong Renli said: "If you can destroy the Qing demon army, you will be the first meritorious minister, and the position of the auxiliary king is well deserved."

Yang Fuqing was so excited that he trembled all over and said: "It all depends on the Prime Minister's support."

Next, the two people began to discuss the details.

They even took out the city defense map of Nanchang and began to study the deployment seriously.

Doing their best is for the change on the tenth day of May, the day of the Nanchang flag-changing ceremony.

…………………………………………………………………………

At this time, in Jiujiang City!

Su Ye was carrying out a vigorous health campaign.

That day, Lin Qirong took away more than 6,000 people, leaving behind 7,000 to 8,000 people.

Among these 7,000 to 8,000 people, there were 2,000 women and children, who were the families of the Taiping Army soldiers.

In Tianjing City, men and women were separated into camps, and even couples could not live together. They could only see each other after ten days or half a month, and whether they could fire artillery was another matter.

After coming out, he didn't care so much about guarding Jiujiang for these years.

In addition to the 2,000 women and children, there were more than 2,000 wounded soldiers, all of whom were injured in the fierce battle with Shen Baozhen's Hunan Army.

But in the end, there were more than 3,000 young and strong men left.

When some of the wounded recovered, they could be supplemented.

This was the source of soldiers that Su Ye had dreamed of, young, not afraid of death, and had experienced thousands of trials.

But Su Ye couldn't be impatient, and didn't rush to say that you should be loyal to me and come to serve me.

He first took the military doctor to treat the wounded in person, and he was very considerate to every wounded.

Give the best food to the wounded.

However, this did not win many hearts, because Lin Qirong did this at the time.

Personally greet the family, and personally send food and silver to the elderly who lost their children.

And make it clear that silver is sent every month.

Although their children did not die for Su Ye, since they have surrendered to him, Su Ye, he will be responsible to the end.

This point really won a lot of people's hearts.

Whether they are disabled or killed in battle, they will be taken care of and have silver.

In this way, there is no worry at all.

Su Ye decided to implement this policy to the end. From this point of view alone, he is destined to have only a policy of elite troops, otherwise the finances will be completely dragged down.

Now his finances can't hold up at all.

The silver given by the emperor is no longer enough, and he has begun to spend the silver of his sister-in-law and Princess Shou'an.

Therefore, he must quickly have his own financial resources.

Jiujiang Economic Experimental Zone is so important that you can imagine it.

After sending food and silver to disabled soldiers and lonely elderly people.

Next, let the new army brothers make friends with the Taiping Army soldiers.

They were not deliberately ordered to forget their identities, nor did they announce the discipline of the new army in a very solemn manner, such as beheading those who violated it.

Military discipline is very important, but it also depends on the situation. When the enemy just surrendered, they wanted to show their warmth, and then they talked about discipline.

Moreover, the new army brothers told these Taiping soldiers about the harsh military discipline and the cruelty of the training in a joking tone and storytelling tone.

Lin Li and other instructors came out one after another and talked to each of them.

In addition to training every day, a large number of rich entertainment activities were arranged.

What long jump competition, running competition.

Also singing, acting.

Telling stories.

Also providing good food.

Every day's life is extremely rich and colorful.

These more than 3,000 Taiping brothers were stunned in an instant, and... is there such a good life?

In addition to training every day, it is singing, listening to stories, playing football, and what are the horizontal bar and parallel bar competitions?

Everyone is arranged to be full every day.

Especially the food in the army, which is so good that they dare not imagine that even the landlords can't eat such food.

Before, the king often promoted what the kingdom of heaven was like, but they never established it.

However, now, this... isn't this the day of the kingdom of heaven?

Unexpectedly, they lived such a life.

What kind of life did these Taiping soldiers live in the past few years? They were hungry and cold every day.

They were in fear of death every day.

Su Ye also ordered that the new army brothers should actively learn from the brothers in Jiujiang, learn their spirit of not fearing death and hardship, and learn their rich combat experience.

This kind of learning cannot be verbal, but must be put into practice.

The new army brothers and the brothers in Jiujiang should pair up.

One-to-one pairing.

From then on, honor and disgrace will be shared.

Moreover, the new army cannot give alms from a high position, and even more so, it cannot be high-profile.

Instead, it should ask more questions.

So, each of the new army brothers asked the Taiping soldiers for advice on weapon fighting, siege warfare, etc.

These Taiping soldiers stayed behind with trepidation, thinking that they would be excluded and looked down upon.

Unexpectedly, it was like this?

For a long time, people with low self-esteem and people looked down upon by others were suddenly praised like this, how could they bear it?

It's not just about giving away everything you know, it's about sharing your heart and soul.

When the new army brothers started to practice shooting, a Taiping soldier came forward and said to his new recruit: "Brother, your foreign rifle is really good, can I... can I touch it?"

The new army soldier handed it over and said: "Here."

The Taiping soldier touched the advanced rifle carefully and said: "It's really good, this gun is really good. You don't know our muskets. Before every battle, you have to light the matchlock and pour gunpowder into it. You must be careful when shooting, otherwise half of your face will be burned, not to mention that it rains and you can't even fire the gun."

Even the matchlock gun is still preserved? It's really too old.

The new army soldier said, "Come on, brother, I'll teach you what this gun is for. Go and shoot a few bullets, and I'll teach you."

The Taiping army brother said, "How can this be possible?"

The new army brother said, "The Marshal has purchased new weapons from foreigners. It won't be long before you can all use these foreign guns."

Next, the new army brothers taught the Jiujiang Taiping Army how to use foreign guns one by one.

Of course, the integration of the two armies will definitely have various problems, and there will definitely be disharmony.

But overall, it's all good.

This group of Jiujiang Taiping Army has suffered for too long, and has been lonely and helpless for too long. As long as they are given a little respect, they are willing to give everything.

And Su Ye and the instructor group repeatedly emphasized that they must take good care of the self-esteem of every Jiujiang brother.

Next, there are waves of collective activities.

It can increase friendship and strengthen unity.

The sanitation event is one of them.

There are almost no civilians in Jiujiang City now, so most of the houses are empty and extremely dirty.

All the streets were overgrown with weeds.

Su Ye proposed the concept of "I love my home, Jiujiang is my home", even if there is no one living in the house, it is our common home.

The home cannot be dirty and messy.

It must be neat and tidy.

Tens of thousands of people joined the battle, including Su Ye, the commander.

In just a few days, the weeds in Jiujiang City were cleaned up.

The streets were also swept very clean.

The whole city looked brand new.

Before going to bed at night, a Taiping Army brother said: "It may be unconscionable to say this, but... I think Lord Su Ye did a better job than the Loyal Marquis."

Another Taiping Army brother did not dare to argue and quickly closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Lin Qirong's impression in the brothers' hearts is still indelible, so he dared not say it.

A Taiping Army brother next to him said, "Yes, you are right. Although I have deeper feelings for the Loyal Marquis, Lord Su Ye has indeed done a better job."

"And the Loyal Marquis has already paid off our debts, so we don't have to bear any burden."

Lin Li next to him immediately remembered this person.

Young man, you are very pragmatic, and I will focus on developing you in the future.

………………………………………………………………………

For some reason, Shen Baozhen felt very uneasy.

The closer it was to the tenth day of May, the more uneasy he felt.

This was the biggest thing in his life. If he succeeded, he would be the first meritorious official.

Not only did he stabilize his position as the governor of Jiangxi, but even Hu Linyi's position as the governor of Jiangxi was earned by him.

He struggled to find the source of his uneasiness.

Then he found it.

Why hasn't Su Yi taken action until now? According to his character, he will definitely take action and have some conspiracy.

Moreover, Su Yi also asked Wei Jun to surrender.

Is he willing to fail like this? Definitely unwilling to do so.

Something will definitely happen.

But why is it so quiet now? Not normal, not normal.

Yes, this is definitely not normal.

But so what?

Are you not doing anything because of this? Could it be that the flag-changing ceremony was postponed because of this?

Impossible.

The only thing Shen Baozhen can do is to check for leaks and fill in the gaps, and think about the problem from Su Yi's perspective. If he were Su Yi, how should he destroy it?

He thought about it for a long time and found the simplest and most direct way.

Assassinate Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing.

This is the most cost-effective method and the easiest to implement.

Mutual trust between the two sides is still relatively weak now.

Once the assassination of two surrendered generals occurred, it would be easy for this group of Taiping troops to think that the Qing government was trying to kill them.

Although anyone with a brain will know that it is impossible, one must not expect these 40,000 Taiping soldiers to have brains.

Thought of this.

Shen Baozhen immediately found Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing again and expressed his hidden worries.

Yang Fuqing's expression was expressionless, but he was surprised in his heart. This Shen Baozhen was really powerful. He immediately thought of this possibility and hit the target directly.

However, it turns out that you guessed correctly, but the rest guessed wrong.

What does this have to do with Su Yi?

Shen Baozhen said: "Two generals, Su Yi is as cunning as a ghost. You must be extremely careful. On the day of the flag-changing ceremony, you must take absolute protection. It is best to wear iron armor. If you have a stand-in, even more so. alright."

Wei Jun said: "Thank you, Mr. Shen, for your concern. We will definitely be more careful."

It's impossible to have a stand-in. A person as big as you, Shen Baozhen, doesn't have a stand-in. How can we have one?

Shen Baozhen never doubted from the beginning to the end that one of Wei Jun or Yang Fuqing would fake the surrender.

But this is normal, and no one would doubt it in this era.

Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing were both directly involved in the Tianjing Incident. Surrendering to the Qing court was their best way out.

That is because Su Yi knows history and can know a person's true nature through historical events.

Yang Fuqing couldn't even help but said: "Master Shen Baozhen, is this Su Yi very powerful? That he makes you so afraid?"

There was an unconcealable hostility hidden in his words, which made Shen Baozhen trust him even more.

"This person is vicious and cunning, so we have to guard against him." Shen Baozhen said: "Next, the two generals will identify and investigate their subordinates. If they find someone with different intentions, don't be lenient. In addition, for all the unfamiliar faces around them, Be absolutely vigilant and don’t let any strangers come into view.”

Shen Baozhen gave thousands of warnings and tens of thousands of instructions.

Even Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing felt a bit verbose.

……………………………………………………

However, two days later!

Wei Jun actually caught three people and planned to assassinate him during the flag-changing ceremony.

Suddenly, he admired Shen Baozhen even more.

And took the initiative to report the matter to Shen Baozhen.

"Trial, we must find out, who is the instigator behind them? Next, the general will conduct a thorough cleanup of his personal guards to ensure that there are no dangerous factors." Shen Baozhen said.

Wei Jun said: "I will, but there is one thing I don't know whether to say or not."

Shen Baozhen said: "General, you can speak freely to me."

Wei Jun said: "Sir, you should be careful about Yang Fuqing."

Shen Baozhen said: "What do you mean?"

Wei Jun said: "According to my understanding, Yang Fuqing is quite loyal to the Kingdom of Heaven, and is very unconvinced by me. This time he is willing to submit to me, and is willing to disband 10,000 troops and withdraw from Nanchang to Ruizhou. Camp, something extraordinary.”

Shen Baozhen said: "General, you are really worried. I will further observe Yang Fuqing and identify him carefully."

Although he expressed his attitude like this, he didn't take it seriously in his heart.

You Wei Jun have a reason to surrender, doesn't Yang Fuqing have any?

I'm afraid he is even more sad and angry than you, Wei Jun.

Wei Changhui was looking for death. After all, he killed so many people, even Shi Dakai's family members.

In the eyes of many people, Yang Xiu was more domineering and had no crime, but Wei Changhui killed his whole family.

Yang Fuqing was Yang Xiuqing's younger brother, and during the Tianjing Incident, Yang Fuqing's family was also killed by Wei Changhui.

There are absolutely good reasons for people to surrender.

As for why I am willing to submit to you, it is because we gave you a lot of money.

Moreover, Shen Baozhen also sent people to secretly investigate why he agreed to disband half of his army. In fact, many people were no longer willing to be soldiers and were willing to live in peace with their settlement expenses.

In Shen Baozhen's view, this was completely a dispute between Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing, which could only make him happier.

Even in Shen Baozhen's view, Wei Jun needed to be more careful because he acted smarter and his army was going to stay in Nanchang. Instead, Yang Fuqing agreed to lead his troops to Ruizhou, clearly showing a broken attitude.

On the contrary, you, Wei Jun, look ambitious, which makes people a little worried.

……………………………………………………

Time passed day by day.

Whether it was excitement or anxiety.

This day would eventually come.

On the tenth day of May, this day finally came.

The night before, Shen Baozhen spent almost a sleepless night.

But this morning, there was still no sleepiness, only endless excitement.

Not long after the sun rose, he led 16,000 Hunan troops and marched towards Nanchang.

At this time, Wei Jun's army, as agreed, all laid down their weapons and stayed in their own barracks.

Shen Baozhen sent hundreds of people to monitor the city of Nanchang.

The entire Nanchang city wall was not allowed to be guarded by Wei Jun's army.

And all the weapons were handed over to the relevant personnel of the Qing army.

After Shen Baozhen's army entered Nanchang, they would take over the city defense, the arsenal, and the artillery as soon as possible.

Then, they would reorganize Wei Jun's army and gradually withdraw them from Nanchang.

But we can't do it all at once, as it is easy to cause a backlash. We need to fully grasp the situation before we act.

In the battle of Jiujiang, the Hunan Army suffered heavy casualties, so Hubei had to add some more troops to it.

Despite the other party's repeated humility, Shen Baozhen first wrote a letter to invite Zeng Guofan to preside over the flag-changing ceremony.

Zeng Guofan declined because he was in mourning.

Then Shen Baozhen invited Luo Bingzhang to preside over the flag-changing ceremony, but Luo Bingzhang of course refused.

Finally, Shen Baozhen personally invited Hu Linyi to preside over the flag-changing ceremony, but Hu Linyi also refused.

Shen Baozhen invited again and again, and Hu Linyi postponed again and again, and finally returned to Hubei.

Nonsense, this is clearly your most glorious moment, the most face-saving moment, and even the emperor agreed that he would be willing to confer titles on Wei Jun and Yang Fuqing after the complete surrender.

If we preside over the flag-changing ceremony and steal your limelight, wouldn't you hate us for the rest of our lives?

Besides, I, Hu Linyi, am not the governor of Jiangxi, but you, Shen Baozhen, are indeed the Jiangxi Provincial Surveillance Commissioner, and now the highest civil servant in Jiangxi Province of the Qing court.

The first step of the flag-changing ceremony is that Yang Fuqing needs to lead his army to leave Nanchang and go to Ruizhou.

There were no accidents.

Yang Fuqing led 20,000 troops out of Nanchang City in an orderly manner, and then went directly to Ruizhou.

Yang Fuqing, who was wearing iron armor and riding a tall horse, came to Shen Baozhen alone and said, "Sir Shen, I officially lead the army to Ruizhou."

Shen Baozhen said, "Okay, I will send a team to lead you to Ruizhou."

Next, a guerrilla general of the Hunan Army led hundreds of cavalry and said to Yang Fuqing, "General, please!"

Yang Fuqing sneered in his heart. This is not leading, but clearly monitoring.

Next, Yang Fuqing led 100 cavalrymen of the Hunan Army to his 20,000 troops.

Two armies appeared outside Nanchang.

Yang Fuqing led the 20,000 Taiping troops to the southwest of Ruizhou Camp. (Today's Gao'an City)

Shen Baozhen, accompanied by hundreds of officials, led 16,000 Hunan troops, fully armed, majestic, and marched towards Nanchang City.

At this time, all the uneasiness disappeared completely.

The only thing left was excitement.

This was the most glorious moment of his life.

Taking Nanchang was equivalent to taking Jiangxi.

This was the biggest thing he had done in his life, and the most successful thing.

With his own strength, he swallowed up the 40,000 rebel troops.

With his eloquence, he took Nanchang without spending a single soldier, and then took over the entire Jiangxi.

I took down the governor of Jiangxi.

The Hunan Army also had 30,000 more soldiers ready to fight.

Has anyone else in the Hunan Army ever achieved such a great feat?

With such a magnificent move, Su Ye's attempt to seize Jiujiang seemed so despicable and petty.

Su Ye, although you have the emperor's backing, you still have too few resources.

After all, I am better than you.

Nanchang belongs to me.

Jiangxi also belongs to me.

This round, I, Shen Baozhen, won.

Dozens of officials around him also looked at him with admiration, wanting to take the opportunity to flatter him, but seeing that he was serious and the atmosphere was majestic at this time, they could not help but give up. It would not be too late to flatter him after entering the city and the governor's office.

Just approaching the gate of Nanchang.

The band immediately played music.

The solemn and festive music sounded.

On the top of the city, Wei Jun, the chief general of the Nanchang Taiping Army, shouted loudly: "Please respectfully invite Lord Shen to enter the city."

Shen Baozhen stood still under the city.

The vanguard of the Hunan Army entered Nanchang City first.

At this time, there was no one on the tall city wall, except for Wei Jun and dozens of trusted officials on the top of the city wall.

Wei Jun listened to Shen Baozhen's words, wearing iron armor, and there were only a few dozen people around him, all of whom were his most trusted people.

Shen Baozhen raised his hand.

More than 10,000 Hunan troops behind him stopped neatly and formed more than a dozen square formations.

Next, it was a solemn and majestic flag change.

Amid the music, the flag of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the top of Nanchang City slowly fell down.

Then, it was time to replace it with the dragon flag of the Qing court.

Shen Baozhen was excited.

It was done, it was finally done.

He finally accomplished this great thing.

However... at this moment!

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out!

On the top of the city, Wei Jun, the Taiping Army coach, was suddenly shot. He covered his neck in disbelief and fell slowly.
