The general just nodded, as if he had something on his mind. Looking at his worried look, Tang Sancheng said, "What are you upset about, senior general?"
"We can't say it yet." The general sighed and stood up to leave. Tang Sancheng was greatly surprised: "Senior, are you still leaving?"
"I have to go." The general said, "We will see you another day."
Tang Sancheng didn't have time to ask what the general was busy with, but he just felt that it must be something unusual. The general was unruly and unruly. When had he ever seen him so worried? Tang Sancheng had no choice but to watch the general leave. Xiaoshan said: "It's really strange.
, Senior General General seems a little worried, I think he is not only looking for the whereabouts of He Bo these days, he may also be busy with other things."
He didn't need to say this. Others also knew it. They didn't know what to say other than looking at each other. At this moment, Wei Qing walked in: "You guys have such a poor sense of safety recently. This door is always left open."
Wei Yi's voice rang out: "Don't talk nonsense, it should have been shortly after seeing off the guests. Who can be better than you in terms of carelessness?"
Wei Qing laughed, and the couple had already walked in. Tang Sancheng didn't hear the sound of the car, so he knew that the old couple must have come for a walk, leisurely and elegant!
"I heard from the Bu brothers that they were of great use this time. Of course, this is their own version. I can only ask you about the truth." Wei Qing laughed and said, "But based on my experience.
That said, at least they won't disappoint."
"Yes." Bai Yi had a positive attitude towards the Bu brothers: "The brothers are really rare talents. It's a pity that they don't have much interest in doing business. Otherwise, it would be easy to build their own business empire."
"It's enough to be obsessed with design." Wei Qing said: "Uncle San was very happy to hear that you did something extraordinary with the Bu brothers this time, and asked us to give you a gift."
"Gift?" Bai Yi was surprised: "We work for the organization, and the organization has always been business-like. What's going on this time? There's an unexpected surprise?"
Hearing the teasing in Bai Yi's words, Wei Qing was not angry: "The organization has organizational rules, but individuals still have some emotions. Why, I appreciate you, so I gave you a small gift. Now it will become an express rule in the organization.
?”
Fu Yu glared at Bai Yi, who laughed loudly: "Okay, let's see what gift the third uncle gave."
Wei Qing took the painting out of the box, and Shen Bing immediately exclaimed: "Isn't this too luxurious?"
This portrait is very interesting. Not to mention the ancient painting, it is actually inlaid with gems. Bai Yi looked at the woman on it and found it very interesting. The women in ordinary paintings are either among flowers or dressing up in the mirror.
This woman actually rolled up her sleeves and was bending over, looking for something on the ground, as well as her dress. "This woman is from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom period." Bai Yi said immediately.
The painting is not very exquisite. It is not produced by a famous painter, but it is cherished very much. In particular, gems are inlaid in the woman's hair. The owner of this painting must be very fond of the woman in the painting. Bai Yi came closer to take a look, and suddenly saw
There were two words vaguely written on the woman's clothes. He wondered if it was the woman's name. He carefully lifted the painting down and looked at it carefully against the light - "Xuanjiao."
"This painting is somewhat interesting." Bai Yi said: "This woman seems to be looking for something, and judging from the background, it is completely ruined. What could she be looking for on the battlefield?"
"Xuanjiao." Wei Yi also saw those two words, and his expression suddenly changed: "Does the third uncle want you to..."
"It seems this is not an ordinary gift." Even Wei Qing also understood: "It's strange. When my third uncle saw me, he just gave me this painting and asked me to bring it to you. He didn't say much else. This is
What's going on?"
It was just Wei Qing's opinion that he dared to give gifts. Bai Yi was a little helpless, while Fu Yu went to check the box containing the painting, and sure enough he found a letter underneath: "Here it is."
Wei Yi scolded: "If Third Uncle didn't tell me, it's because he is busy with things and it's not easy for him to take time out. As for you, you didn't ask clearly, so I thought Third Uncle had suddenly changed his style."
Wei Qing was a little embarrassed: "I was overthinking it. Who asked me to deliver it at this point? I thought it was a reward. Although it has never been done before, rules are dead and people are alive."
"Let's find what the people in this painting are looking for." Bai Yi smiled bitterly: "It's just a painting. I know nothing about it except that it's a female general, Hong Xuanjiao of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Third Uncle.
What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd?”
"Who is this woman?" Xiaoshan asked curiously.
Shen Bing shrugged: "Didn't Bai Yi say that Hong Xuanjiao is the female general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?"
The earliest mention of this female general is "The Short Biography of Hong Xuan Jiao", which describes it like this: "Hong Xuan Jiao was called Xiao Wang Niang in the army, the sister of the Heavenly King, and the noble wife of the Western King Xiao Dynasty. She was under thirty years old and was extremely beautiful all her life.
, extraordinarily brave, with hundreds of female soldiers, good at fighting, and meritorious in all directions. Queen Xiao and the female soldiers were both born in Guangxi, and deeply adhered to the Xiuquan religion. They worshiped the Emperor of Heaven before every battle.
Dressed up in battle, wielding two swords, the sharp edge fell into the snow. Riding on a crimson horse, with a white gauze on the saddle waist, long and fair body, bright green color on the dress. In the wind, she raised her plain wrists and commanded the female army, the clothes and attires made a jumble of sounds,
Looking at them, they looked like heavenly beings. The female soldiers all wore silk banners and silver shields. In the heat of battle, Queen Xiao undressed and rode her horse, entering and exiting the Manchu and Qing armies. Her inner clothes were wrapped in apricot yellow silk, her swordsmanship was superb, her clothes had an illusory color, and the entire army was horrified."
Hong Xuanjiao is the half-sister of Hong Xiuquan. Hong Xiuquan’s father, Hong Guoyou, married three wives and gave birth to three sons and one daughter. Hong Xiuquan and Hong Xuanjiao were born to the second and third aunts respectively. After Hong Guoyou’s death, the family fell into decline.
, the sons and daughters plot together
After many failed attempts, Hong Xiuquan founded the Society of God and later launched the Taiping Rebellion. Hong Xuanjiao joined a gang of wandering artists and made a living by performing arts. In the artist group, Hong Xuanjiao learned good kung fu.
One time, Hong Xuanjiao went to Luludong, Wuxuan, to perform as a performer. Xiao Chaogui, a son of a wealthy local farmer, fell in love with Hong Xuanjiao at first sight and wanted to redeem her and marry her. Hong Xuanjiao was also tired of the wandering life of a performer.
Hong Xuanjiao and Xiao Chaogui just lived together and did not get married through a matchmaker. Later Xiao Chaogui
Gui and Hong Xuanjiao participated in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Uprising together. The Taiping Army founded the country in Yong'an. Hong Xiuquan presided over the marriage and married Hong Xuanjiao to Xiao Chaogui, who had been named the King of the West. Hong Xuanjiao became the "West Princess". After the Taiping Army left Yong'an,
, passed through Guilin and Liuzhou and entered Hunan. The war was extremely fierce. In the fierce battle at the coir ferry, the Southern King Feng Yunshan was shot to death. During the siege of Changsha City, the Western King Xiao Chaogui was killed in battle. Hong Xuanjiao, who was newly married, became a widow.
There is a saying that there are many disputes at the widow's door. Various stories have been spread about Hong Xuanjiao. For example, her political skills are said to be as good as Wu Zetian and Cixi. Hong Xuanjiao was in Taiping
The main deeds in the army are to manage the "women's camp". At the beginning of the Taiping Army uprising,
Everyone was allowed to bring their family members with them to the camp. In order to facilitate management and movement, at Hong Xuanjiao's suggestion, all the women's families were gathered together to establish the "Female Camp". Hong Xuanjiao was appointed as the commander. After the capital was established in Nanjing, the war was temporarily suspended, so the "Female Camp" was established.
"Women's Camp" was changed to "Women's Pavilion", and Hong Xuanjiao was still in charge.
It is said that Hong Xuanjiao was ill and bedridden when she was young. When she was so ill, she seemed to see an old man calling her and saying to her: "Ten years later, there will be a man from the east who will teach you how to do things."
Worship God, you must obey with all your heart." After Hong Xiuquan launched the Taiping Movement
, Hong Xuanjiao believed that what she saw during her illness was God, and that she had the ability to talk directly to God. At that time, only two people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had such ability. One was the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan himself, who could "ascend to heaven"; the other was the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing, who could
Pass on the orders of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother.
Hong Xuanjiao wanted to be the third one, so she imitated Hong Xiuquan's method and ascended to heaven. Who would have thought that Hong Xuanjiao's actions broke the political structure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Neither Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly King, nor Yang Xiuqing, the East King, recognized that Hong Xuanjiao had such a talent.
Ability. Yang Xiuqing used "Heavenly Father Comes Down to Earth" to severely scold her sixty times. The King also scolded Hong Xuanjiao for "disobeying heaven's orders and talking nonsense." From then on, Hong Xuanjiao became much more passive in politics, not as before.
Enthusiasm is pure.
However, Hong Xuanjiao's political energy still existed, and she had a significant relationship with the occurrence of the Tianjing Incident. Yang Xiuqing made outstanding contributions in the early stages of the development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and began to rely on his high achievements. In the end, the "Long Live the Long Live" event occurred.
Hong Xuanjiao persuaded his brother Hong Xiuquan to get rid of Yang Xiuqing at that time. At first, Hong Xiuquan couldn't bear to do it, saying: "He and I are good brothers who live and die together and share weal and woe. How can I bear to do it?"
Then he said: "If God cannot bear it alone, then everyone in heaven will have to endure Yang Xiuqing's tyranny." Hong Xiuquan was moved and secretly summoned Wei Changhui back to Tianjing to kill Yang Xiuqing and burn down the East Palace.
Unofficial historians said that Hong Xuanjiao instigated her brother to launch the Tianjing Incident because she was "dissolute by nature" and "jealous." They said that Hong Xuanjiao had an affair with the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing after Xiao Chaogui's death.
After entering Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing became increasingly domineering and alienated Hong Xuanjiao, and instead fell in love with the new female champion Fu Shanxiang. Angry, Hong Xuanjiao committed herself to the Northern King Wei Changhui, and encouraged the Tianwang and the Northern King to launch a coup to kill Yang Xiuqing and Fu Shanxiang. It is said that on the day of the incident, Dong
There was a grand banquet in the palace. Hong Xuanjiao and others attended.
Hong Xuanjiao winked at Wei Changhui at the banquet, and Wei Changhui drew his sword and killed Yang Xiuqing. Hong Xuanjiao and others relied on the troops that had been ambushed in advance to eradicate Yang Xiuqing's party. In this way, Hong Xuanjiao was regarded as an important participant and executor of the Tianjing Incident.
Some notes even vividly stated that Yang Xiuqing and Fu Shanxiang were killed when they were in the same room. Afterwards, Hong Xuanjiao entered the Dongwang Mansion and saw Fu Shanxiang's mangled body, and said bitterly, "The demon maid also has this day." This account can be found in various places.
