Bab 540: Reorganization of the Taiping Army

12th month, 11th day afternoon, Lin Fengxiang residence.

Ouyang Shuo had gathered the main generals of the Taiping Army to discuss the military reorganization.

Before the meeting began, the atmosphere of the entire hall was incredibly solemn.

Firstly, not long after the Lord sent out his first imperial edict, he had followed it with a second imperial edict.

The decree stated that from tomorrow onward, Tianjing City would be under the charge of the Guards Division and the two mountain barbarian divisions. The one hundred thousand Taiping Army soldiers would remain in the military, but they were not allowed to go out without a proper reason.

Anyone with a brain could see that the Taiping Army was becoming a cold turkey.

Secondly, the symbolic edifice of Tianjing City, the king’s palace, was being mercilessly torn down. Be it the generals who were close to Yang Xiuqing or those who were his enemy, they all felt uneasy about the matter.
