On October 9, 1864 AD, Shicheng County, Ganzhou Prefecture, Jiangxi Province.

The autumn nights in Yangjiapai Village are a bit deserted. After the villagers finish their farm work, they return to their respective rooms early when the sunset is over and close the door. Soon, the entire village is like a dead village, and even the fireworks on weekdays fade.

An old man with white hair was hunched over, crossed his hands behind his back, searched in front of the village with great vigilance, walked into his door, opened the door, looked left and right, and saw that everything was normal around him, he entered the room, bolted the door from the inside, walked to the door of the inner room, held up the oil lamp, and said to the room: "I have seen it, the officers and soldiers did not chase him, don't worry."

A middle-aged man with a beard and haggard face stuck his head out of the house and said to the old man: "Captain, thank you so much for your hard work!" Then he limped out of the house.

Behind him, another woman in her thirties followed.

These two are Hong Renxuan and Su Sanniang, the cadre king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The old man waved his hand and smiled and said, "What kind of polite words did King Gan say? All the people know that King Gan is dedicated to the country and the people, and his love for you is beyond words. Now that King Gan is in trouble, how can we stand by and watch?" Then, he thought of something and asked, "Where is Your Majesty the Young Heavenly King?"

As soon as he finished asking, a burst of cries came from the room. Su Sanniang smiled and said, "Your Majesty is young and has never suffered such a hardship of running around. He is sleeping soundly."

The old man nodded and said with a good look, "The heroes haven't been in a few days, right? Then I won't bother you. Please rest earlier. I'll go out for a walk. If there is an emergency, I'll inform you immediately." After that, he put the oil lamp on an old wooden box and went out.

When the old man left, the two of them looked even more tired, and even the huge figure reflected on the wall seemed to be weak.

Su Sanniang said, "King Gan didn't rest for five days and five nights, and he sprained his foot again. Go and sleep for a while."

Hong Renxuan yawned and said, "Sanniang, aren't you the same? But after finally finding a place to stay, someone has to keep a watch... Alas, we have enjoyed too much blessings that we shouldn't have enjoyed at the beginning, so that our Heavenly Father blamed us for suffering and let us suffer as punishment..."

Su Sanniang sighed and said, "It's a pity that King Gan has all his talents. If the late emperor reused you as soon as possible, completed the "New Chapter of Supervision" as soon as possible, and carried out drastic reforms to our heavenly kingdom, why would we fall into this today?"

Hong Renxuan said: "But it may not be. Although the "New Chapter of Gui Zheng" is my hard work, its thoughts and insights are too advanced, and it is difficult to accept them by the late emperor. Even if you look at the whole country, only Lin Zexu, Wei Yuan and others can understand it. Therefore, even as Sanniang said, I am afraid that I will not have the power to turn the world back... Of course, history can no longer be rewritten, and it is urgent to consider how to get out of this predicament. After all, living in the homes of the people, I am afraid that I will harm them."

Su Sanniang said, "What King Gan said is very true. Since the city of Tianjing was broken, our army has been displaced. Unexpectedly, during the days when I went to Jinhua Prefecture to fight the Red Yaksha, King Zhong and King Du were killed one after another. If only King Gan left the country to support it today, if you don't meet with the King of Shi north as soon as possible, you may miss the last chance of life. Therefore, you must set off immediately tonight, and no matter what tomorrow morning!"

"Well..." Hong Renxuan nodded, covered his face, and stopped talking.

Su Sanniang walked to the bedroom door and looked at Hong Tianguifu who was sleeping, with a lot of thoughts.

Just after she parted with King Zhong Li Xiucheng, Li Xiucheng wandered to Fangshan, and the local people hid him secretly and wanted to send him into danger. Unexpectedly, he was reported by a traitor and sold him to the Hunan Army.

When she and Duwang Huang Wenjin bid farewell to Huzhou, Hong Tianguifu wanted to revive his talents and build a capital and establish a career in Huzhou. However, Huang Wenjin believed that Huzhou was already an isolated city with only a small number of soldiers and few grains, and was attacked from all sides. Therefore, he sent his cousin Zhao Wang Huang Wenying and the first king Fan Ruzeng, and the raising king, Jiqingyuan, etc. to escort the young king back to Guangde.

When she said goodbye to Pu Zixuan and his party, rushed back to Guangde, Anhui to meet with Hong Renxuan, Huang Wenjin and others, Hong Renxuan decided to abandon Guangde and go to Fuzhou, Jiangxi Province. Jianchang met with the King of Attorney Li Shixian and King Kang Wang Haiyang. On the way, Huang Wenjin was injured in a cannon while fighting with the Qing army in Ningguodun, and would die in the future.

Afterwards, more than 10,000 troops of the First King Fan Ruzeng crossed the river near Huizhou before they could reach the end, and were dispersed by the Qing army's artillery ships.

Later, in Tunxi, Kaihua, Guangze, Guangchang... Along the way, they fought dozens of battles with the pursuing Qing army, and they won and lost each other. One "king" after another was captured, killed, and turned against each other...

Along the way, he was not attacked by monsters, and Su Sanniang was afraid to use the power of purification, so she could only occasionally use the three corpses to retreat to the enemy.

Just this morning, in Baishuiling, Tangfang, Guangchang County, King Zhao Huang Wenying and Wang Tan Tiyuan resisted stubbornly. Su Sanniang released three corpses to harass the enemy. In the end, the Taiping Army annihilated hundreds of Qing troops and forced the Qing army to retreat. Even though they won the battle, they did not dare to delay for a moment. They immediately marched for thirty miles. Hong Renxuan sprained his left foot on the road and finally fled to the small Yangjiapai village in Shicheng County.

At present, the remaining troops on our side are only about 8,000.

At the end of the road, the Taiping Army had not been able to rest for five days and nights. Even when eating, they bit their mouths and ran their legs and feet.

Fortunately, the villagers of the Yangjiapai treated the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with friendly treatment, which gave the 8,000 people a chance to rest. Except for some generals living in the villagers' homes, the ordinary holy soldiers were burying the pot and making meals in the mountains behind the village.

If we spend tonight safely and the entire army will be rested in the future, we will still have the strength to continue to transfer the young king. Otherwise, once we are surrounded here, in the current state of the entire army, we may only be able to completely eliminate them.

If so, this vigorous peasant uprising will be truly over.

The direction of history depends on a child in his teenage years old. Thinking of this, Su Sanniang sighed lightly, sat down next to Hong Tianguifu, and gently stroked the poor child's hair, thinking that this time, even if Pu Zixuan needs me to deal with Hong Yasha, he will definitely not be separated from His Majesty again.

It was this slight hair-pulling action that woke Hong Tianguifu up who was sleeping. In an instant, Hong Tianguifu was like a frightened bird. He suddenly opened his eyes wide open, kicked his hands and feet, and shouted: "Qing Yao is here! Qing Yao is here, chase him, run away!"

Su Sanniang didn't care about the etiquette of the king and his subjects, so she quickly stabilized Hong Tianguifu's body and comforted him: "Your Majesty, your Majesty, don't be afraid! You are just having a nightmare!"

Although Hong Tianguifu woke up, he was already in a daze. He pushed Su Sanniang's hand away, turned over and got out of bed, ran outside the house, and continued to shout: "Qing Yao is here! Qing Yao is here! Everyone, get up quickly!"

In the main hall, Hong Renxuan, who was already half asleep with his head covered, immediately woke up, straightened up, and said seriously: "What's going on?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Your Majesty just had a nightmare." Su Sanniang rushed out and hugged Hong Tianguifu tightly in her arms, and advised, "Your Majesty, there is no Qing Yao. We are in the homes of the people. It's very safe at present, so don't worry!"

Hong Tianguifu struggled for a while. After all, he was just a child and his strength was far from comparable to Su Sanniang. His body finally gradually stabilized, but he kept patting Su Sanniang's body and cried loudly: "I want to go home, I want to go home... I want my father and my queen... I don't want to sleep here..."

Su Sanniang let Hong Tianguifu slap his willfulness without any complaints. She knew that for this young king who had never stepped out of Tianjing City in his life and had been spoiled in heaven since he was a child, the normal world outside was extremely cruel, not to mention that he was facing a life-and-death rush that had lasted for several months, and even many well-trained holy soldiers had already collapsed.

Hong Renxuan also comforted him: "Your Majesty, don't worry. We only have a few hours to rest and then set off to continue our journey. Once we merge with the Assistant King Li Shixian, we will go north to Hubei and Shaanxi, and we will definitely have another great journey."

"Why have to wait a few more hours?" Hong Tianguifu swallowed even more, "I am just worried that Qing Yao will chase you soon... Really, they will chase you soon..."

As the current commander of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, how could Hong Renxuan not know the huge risk of staying here overnight? However, the team has been running around for days, not only has their body exhausted, but also has a very low morale. Even his foot is sprained, which is really unsustainable, so he has to make this decision. He comforted again: "Don't worry, your Majesty, we have only won a big victory in Baishuiling today, killing hundreds of Qing demons, and they dare not chase them."

Although Hong Tianguifu was named Emperor, the actual military and political power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in Hong Renxuan's hands. Although he instinctively realized something, he could not say anything because he was unable to say anything. He couldn't refute Hong Renxuan's words, sobbed a few times and stopped talking.

However, the facts proved that this time, the child Hong Tianguifu's premonition was correct.

Just as Hong Renxuan shook his head again and half asleep, the door suddenly opened and a "bang" sound came.

The owner of the house, the old man, rushed in and said anxiously: "King Gan, in the distance, there seems to be a large group of people coming towards the village!"

Hong Renxuan stood up and asked, "What's going on?"

The old man said, "In the distance, there were many torches, all over the mountains and fields!"

Hong Renxuan had no time to hesitate and rushed outside the house with his injured foot. Su Sanniang also took Hong Tianguifu's hand and followed him out.

What the old man said was true. Amid the endless barking of dogs, the entire village was half surrounded by torches, and in other rooms, generals such as Huang Wenying and Tan Tiyuan also drove out of the door one after another.

At present, only the place where the eight thousand holy soldiers landed on the back mountain was the only place to evacuate. Moreover, if the old man reported the news for a while, he would probably not even have this only gap.

"Sanniang, you can't implicate the people, evacuate quickly!" Hong Renxuan gave an order, "Everyone evacuate quickly to the back mountain!"

For a moment, under the command of Hong Renxuan, several generals ran towards the back mountain. Su Sanniang used the power of purification, picked up Hong Tianguifu and Hong Renxuan and ran in big strides, leaving everyone far behind.

On the back mountain, eight thousand holy soldiers had already rested on the spot, and only a few holy soldiers were holding their bodies to fight the fatigue. When the torch appeared, they naturally noticed the abnormality first than Hong Renxuan and others in the house. Then you called me and I called you, everyone stood up one after another. When Hong Renxuan and others arrived, they were all ready for war.

In fact, at this time, the overall military strength of the Qing army in Jiangxi was far better than that of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Even if hundreds of people were killed during the day, there were still supporters to take over immediately. This time, the Hunan Army general Xi Baotian, who led the Qing army to capture Hong Tianguifu, defeated Shi Dakai in Anqing and blocked the Tiandihui in Guangdong.

When I was young, a Qing army came forward and shouted: "Long-haired people, this place has been surrounded by us. I advise you not to resist unnecessary things and surrender immediately! We only kill the long-haired leaders, and all those who surrender will be forgiven for their death sentences!"

This statement is quite effective in attacking the heart. Some soldiers of the heavenly kingdom who had already collapsed had also been unable to hold the Park Knife in their hands.

"Don't listen to him brag, brothers still remember what the end of the millions of brothers after the surrender of Shi Dakai, the King of Yi, wasn't it painful enough to teach this lesson?" Hong Renxuan used the case of Shi Dakai's army being killed by Luo Bingzhang's betrayal and gathered people's hearts again, and encouraged, "Brothers, don't be afraid! This time, there are not many Qing demons. As long as we work together and fight with the enemy, we will definitely win! Kill!"

Suddenly, this quiet little village was occupied by the sound of killing in the sky!

"Kill!"

At almost the same time, the land under everyone's feet began to vibrate violently, and then a huge sound of monster breathing came from the sky.

"Ha ha--"
