When I woke up, I became Li Xiucheng, the loyal king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
At this time, Tianjing was besieged, southern Jiangsu was lost, the Hunan army dug trenches and cut off food, and the Huai army approached step by step with foreign guns. However, Hong Xiuquan issued a series of strict orders, forcing me to abandon Suzhou and return to support the isolated city that was destined to be undefendable.
I know the ending of this road: Suzhou falls, Tianjing city is destroyed, the young master is defeated, and I suffer a lot.
In this life, I will no longer be buried with the corrupt theocracy.
Clear pay, organize military discipline, seize granaries, and train new troops; build mines, open water transportation, fight Hunan and Huaihe, and borrow foreign guns. Outside, Zeng Guoquan was besieging the city, and Li Hongzhang was watching; inside, there were kings vying for power, and Tianjing was demanding food and troops.
Every step you take must be exchanged for food, money, and human lives.
The old kingdom of heaven is rotten to the core, but hundreds of thousands of people in the city still want to live.
If Tianjing must perish, I will fight a way out of Suzhou; if the world cannot tolerate them, then change the world.
