"The Heavenly Father teaches us that one cannot choose one's origin, but one can choose one's path! The reason why Yu Wanqing, the demon leader, became a demon leader is because he was born in a family of local tyrants and evil gentry. He did not know the justice of the nation and only He knew how to make money by becoming an official, so he went astray and became a demon leader who helped the evil tyrants. But now, through the education of this angel, he knows how hateful the Manchu Qing Dynasty is, and he knows that our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is protected by Haotian God. With the support of the poor people in the world, the world will surely be conquered in the future. Therefore, he repented, wanted to worship God, and became a Taiping Army... He even changed his name to Yu Mieqing!"
In the center of Etang Town, outside the original Huang Family Ancestral Hall and now the God Worshiping Church, a sacred ceremony of "Demon Heads Becoming Brothers" is being conducted under the auspices of Luo Yaoguo, Taiping Angel and Chief Lecturer of the God Worshiping Association.
Yu Wanqing Yu Yaotou, who was "unfortunately born into a family of local tyrants and evil gentry", had already taken off his official uniform, put on an ordinary round-neck robe, and knelt in front of a plaque that read "Emperor Haotian". There were other things around him. Kneeling or standing were a large group of captured little Qingyao, brothers and sisters from the Taiping Army, and the "melon-eating crowd" in Etang Town - this "melon" is really big today!
The army of the Qing Dynasty admiral surrendered to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
Could it be that the Great Qing Dynasty is so decayed and is about to end that a first-class official like Yu Wanqing and Yu Junmen has to change his sect and abandon the Qing Dynasty?
If this is the case, then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should be stable...
"Yu Miaqing, please tell me!"
Luo Yaoguo said a lot of great truths, and suddenly found that this old guy Yu Wanqing was still kneeling there in a daze. This is not good. How can it be done without "admiration"? There are so many "audiences" still watching!
So he asked sharply.
"I, I also want to worship God! I also want to be a Taiping Army! I also want to kill...kill the Xianfeng Xian demon!"
In order to survive, in order to be a living loyalist of the Qing Dynasty and a founding hero of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yu Wanqing also risked his life and shouted in public, "I want to kill Xian Yaotou"!
When he shouted, the twenty or thirty kneeling people over there who had just been escorted to Etang Town, Yu Wanqing's disciple and Geshhad, suddenly thought about it and started shouting one after another.
Although there are 2,000 people in Yu Wanqing's bid, the essence of them is dozens of geshhars. Some have been killed or wounded, and there are still twenty or thirty people left. After some education, they can be used as "military experts" with a lecturer to keep an eye on them. , it should be possible to go down and take a new pawn for training.
At this time, a dark-faced strong man with a Hunan accent suddenly burst into tears and said: "Master Angel, the youngest is Yu Dabao, and Yu Miaqing is my adoptive father. I was born in poverty, and I joined the army when I couldn't survive. I have long since I hate Xian Yaotou in my heart, and even joined the Chu Yi Hall of the Heaven and Earth Society... Now I also want to worship God! I also want to be a Taiping Army! I also want to kill Xian Yaotou..."
Luo Yaoguo took a look at this strong man and thought to himself: "This guy is quite smart. He is also Yu Wanqing's adopted son. He should have some skills. He is also a brother of the Heaven and Earth Society... I can give him a chance to make great achievements!"
As soon as he shouted, some other "foreign smoke soldiers" who were still addicted to cigarettes also immediately followed suit. They shouted feebly: "We also want to worship God, and we also want to be the Taiping Army..."
These big smokers are actually useless, but Luo Yaoguo can't let them go because they witnessed Yu Wanqing's surrender. If they let them go, the news will leak out, and it will not be easy to take Daozhou City.
It's better to arrest them all and leave them to Feng Yunshan to deal with later.
When the surrounding "melon-eating crowd" saw this scene, they were also deeply shocked.
This effect is probably similar to that of the Wuchang New Army Uprising in history - the Qing Dynasty's own New Army, as well as Li Yuanhong, the good leader of the 21st Mixed Association of the Qing Dynasty Army, all rebelled... This big
Of course the Qing Dynasty must be completed!
When Luo Yaoguo was dividing land and wealth in Etang Town, most of the middle peasants, small businessmen, craftsmen who would not starve to death in the short term, and even the disciples of Tiandihui who opened teahouses (most of the teahouses these days are from Tiandihui)
The hall) are all waiting and watching. Now they see that Yu Wanqing and the officers and soldiers of the Green Camp under his command are "worshiping God, surrendering to peace, and killing the salty demon leader." Then don't they still believe in the Heavenly Father?
A leader of the Tiandihui wearing a long robe, followed by several younger brothers in short clothes and rolling up their sleeves to reveal tattoos, immediately stepped forward and saluted with clasped fists: "Angel boss, there are millions of people in Hunan Tiandihui, and they are also willing to follow the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
, Let’s fight against the Manchus and return to the Han Dynasty together!”
Millions of people... I'm really not bragging!
The Tiandihui had great influence among the people in the late Qing Dynasty, especially among the poor people engaged in industry and commerce!
Here in Daozhou, those who run boats on Xiaoshui River, those who mine in the mountains around Daozhou City, and those who do small businesses in various towns are almost all disciples of the Tiandihui - if you don't join the Tiandihui, they won't take you to do anything.
Make a living!
If the God Worshiping Society wants to develop in Hunan, and if the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom wants to open up base areas along the Hunan-Jiangxi-Guangdong border, it must get the support of the disciples of the Tiandihui!
Luo Yaoguo immediately followed the voice of the leader of the Tiandihui and saw that he was a dark-faced strong man wearing a long coat and an unshaven beard. So he cupped his hands towards the man and said loudly: "Five of us will write a poem separately."
, no one knows the Hong Ying in him."
The black-faced man was startled: "Is this Taiping Angel also my Hongmen brother? Why are you talking about the incision poem with me? I don't know how my eldest brother is doing in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" He went on to read: "Since then, it has spread to many people.
Brothers, when we met and reunited later."
Luo Yaoguo said: "When I first entered Hongmen and became a sworn brother, I swore an oath to express my sincerity on that day."
The black-faced man said: "Pine and cypress branches are divided into two branches, and the middle section is the Honghua Pavilion."
Luo Yaoguo said: "Brothers are here in front of the Zhongyi Hall, and we will send millions of troops to the city."
The black-faced man read: "Come to the Fude Temple to swear an oath to fight against the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty. I am Hong Ying." After reading this sentence, the black-faced man clasped his fists and said politely: "Brothers, the heaven and earth will recruit troops."
Jiao Hong, the deputy head of the hall. It turns out that the Taiping Angel is also a brother in our association. I wonder what hall he is in? How many sticks of incense were burned?"
This man turns out to be Hong Daquan’s brother!
It's a pity that his brother was cheated by Yang Xiuqing, otherwise the anti-Qing situation in Hunan Province would have reached a higher level...
When Luo Yaoguo was thinking about how to win over Jiao Hong, Su Sanniang's voice suddenly rang out among the crowd: "His Royal Highness the Angel is the master of Guangyi Hall, and he burns six sticks of incense!"
Guangyi Tang is a time-honored name in Tiandi Hui. It can be traced back to the "Guangdong Zhongyi Main Hall", which is the Guangdong branch of Tiandi Hui! Although Tiandi Hui fell into disarray long ago, Zhongyi Main Hall disappeared a hundred or two hundred years ago. , there are so many incense halls in various places, and no one obeys the command of the Zhongyi General Hall of each province. However, Guangyi Tang, which originated from the Zhongyi General Hall of a province, is still a higher level than ordinary halls.
The hall master of this ordinary hall can only say that he burns five sticks of incense, but the hall master of Guangyi Hall can say that he burns six sticks of incense!
Of course Luo Yaoguo did not join the Tiandihui, but Su Sanniang, who had just arrived with Feng Yunshan, heard Luo Yaoguo and Jiao Hong exchanging poems in the crowd, and decided to give him her position as head of Guangyi Hall.
With this identity, the Tiandihui brothers in Hunan will regard him as one of their own!
Of course Jiao Hong knew that this female general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was Su Sanniang - Su Sanniang was beautiful, and had strong martial arts skills. She had raised her flag to rebel against the Qing Dynasty early. She was a celebrity in Guangdong and Guangxi. Yongzhou Prefecture was close to Guangdong and Guangxi. Jiao Hong Naturally, I have heard of this person's reputation, and I can guess it now.
So he hurriedly knelt down on one knee to Luo Yaoguo, cupped his fists and saluted: "Jiao Hong pays homage to the Lord of Guangdong Luoshan!"
Luo Yaoguo waved his hand: "Get up!" He said to Su Sanniang again, "Sanniang, please greet Deputy Hall Master Jiao for me first."
"Yes!" Su Sanniang accepted the order with her hands raised, then raised her hand and made a "please" gesture, and invited Jiao Hong aside.
Then, Nan Wang Feng Yunshan, surrounded by his bodyguard Ji Wenyuan and several retinues, appeared outside the God Worshiping Hall with his brows furrowed.
Seeing Feng Yunshan's displeased expression, Luo Yaoguo actually knew that his route was somewhat different from the orthodox route of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
For example, the "Emperor Heavenly Father" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is different from the "Emperor Heavenly Father Hao" currently enshrined by Luo Yaoguo - the difference is huge! There is a major line of struggle... in this!
Also, Luo Yaoguo was opposed to "returning everything to God", which meant that he was in favor of private ownership! At the same time, he radically advocated the division of land, and regarded it as a way to mobilize the working people rather than to establish The means of heaven on earth.
Furthermore, Luo Yaoguo also advocated that "everyone can worship God." Even big demons like Zeng Guofan, Li Hongzhang, and Zuo Zongtang should be welcomed by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom as long as they are willing to abandon demons and surrender to heaven.
As for those middle and low-level monsters and even scholar-bureaucrats or ordinary scholars, they can all become the objects of unity of the God Worshipers Association.
In short, it is necessary to make fewer enemies and make more friends!
"Third brother, you came just in time!"
