As a small intellectual, Hong Xiuquan started to create his so-called worship of God from a book "Advice of Good Words" and has been neglecting foreign affairs all day long and specifically revising the teachings. He may have wasted a lot of time, but he did not understand that his worship of God has long been separated from the original teachings of Christianity, and even had the connotation of brutality, and did not consider whether he should really change something so that the people can truly get what they want. On the contrary, when dealing with Western believers, he still has his own teachings to change the other party's views, which is a kind of sadness for him. Especially at present, he believes that being able to obtain the support of foreign brothers will speed up his unification of the country. For this purpose, he did not think too much.

Like Yang Xiuqing, he adopted a strategy of neither explicitly acknowledging nor rejecting the unequal treaties proposed by foreigners to the Qing Dynasty. Their promises to the foreign brothers, such as "free entry and exit", "at will, at will", "not collecting goods taxes", etc., were essentially detrimental to the sovereignty of the country. Obviously, they did not recognize the essence of Western colonialists and lost their due vigilance from the beginning. Compared with Emperor Xianfeng's intention of unwilling to bring wolves into the house, the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were much more superficial than the Qing court in treating the colonial aggression attempts of the great powers.

Now facing Lin Haifeng's statement, Hong Xiuquan almost felt a little disdainful, "How could it be?"

Yang Xiuqing was thinking more. He looked at Lin Haifeng and asked seriously: "No matter what, once you enter Shanghai, you will have to face them directly. How will you deal with this problem?"

"What does the Heavenly King mean?" Lin Haifeng smiled and turned his head to Hong Xiuquan.

"I think that we must never go to war with Western countries, as this is contrary to the doctrine." Hong Xiuquan said it very neatly.

Lin Haifeng looked at him and didn't say anything for a long time, but was sneering in his heart. No wonder, in order to break into the Yangtze River in 1858, under the leadership of Erjin, approached the city of Tianjing and demonstrated on the river. The Taiping Army launched artillery and bombardment. Although there were bloodshed incidents on both sides, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan still stubbornly insisted on his earlier viewpoint, issued an edict to behead the Taiping Army soldiers who fired the artillery and sent a special envoy to apologize, believing that Erjin's trip was "the Western brothers were on the God of God" and "all nations supported me in Tiantai", and the "Western brothers" should also work with the Taiping Army to "destroy bed bugs with the same brother."

"What if they, the foreigners, helped Qing Yao to oppose us?" Zheng Nan asked, "Do we still have to retreat and let go?"

"This..." Hong Xiuquan was stunned, "They will strictly adhere to neutrality."

"How is that possible?" Lin Haifeng's turn said this time, "Western powers knocked open our national door with strong ships and cannons for their own interests. Which one of the "Guangzhou Treaty" and "Nanjing Treaty" was not imposed on us? As long as you violate their interests, they will never strictly observe any so-called neutrality."

In the past few months, this was the first time Lin Haifeng said "no" in front of the Heavenly King and the East King. Hong Xiuquan looked at Yang Xiuqing, and both of them were speechless for a moment.

Seeing the uncomfortable expression on the King's face, Wei Changhui coughed, so that the air in the hall was relieved. "Wenhan was welcomed by his brother when he came to Tianjing, and the conversation was very harmonious. He introduced the Christian doctrine they believed in. I patted him on the shoulder and told him that our doctrine was the same, and he was also very sincere. As Brother Haifeng said, he seemed to be very disgusted with the Celestial Empire, and I couldn't think of any reason for him. Of course, Brother Haifeng knew what he might realize in the future. I think we should focus on etiquette."

His words were originally Mo Ling and the mixed statement, but happened to find a question for Lin Haifeng. Lin Haifeng stretched out his hand and was about to open his mouth. Zheng Nan stood up first, "Brother Bei Wang said it well. We are a country of etiquette, so we must be polite. However, we must still pay attention to the right position. For anyone, our slogan should be that no one will offend me; if I do not offend me, I will offend me. For all unequal treaties imposed on us in the past, no matter who he signed it. This point must be widely publicized in the future and let all the Chinese people see it, especially those reactionary literati who slandered the Celestial Empire. We are the ones who truly safeguard the interests of the country and the nation. We will not bow to any hostile forces!"

Haha, it seems that King Ning is still a very bloody man! Not only was he not angry because Zheng Nan's words went against his wishes, but he felt more and more that the marriage between Xuan Jiao and Zheng Nan should be completed as soon as possible.

Yang Xiuqing doesn't want to get too entangled with this issue now. Although he saw the importance of Western weapons in war, he still looked down on the overseas barbarians at all. "Forget it, I can't understand this matter in a word. Anyway, there is still time, so let's talk about it slowly." He waved his hand and said to Lin Haifeng, "Let's talk about the situation of the northern Anhui nickel. Isn't Lai Hanying contacting them now?"

"Okay, the situation is roughly like this. There are now five larger twisters around Woyang, among which Zhang Le is the strongest, gathering tens of thousands of people in total, which has a great influence. Their cavalry team focused on the development and has a good swimming ability." Lin Haifeng looked at Hong Xiuquan and several others, "However, their composition is complicated, their discipline is relatively loose, and their hometown concept is also heavy. Therefore, I agree with the opinion of Brother Dong yesterday, that is, as long as they accept the banner of our Heavenly Dynasty, actively cooperate with our battles in northern Anhui, and restrain some of the power of Qing Yao, and do not make large-scale mobilizations to them for the time being."

"You can tell Lai Hanying that as long as they are willing to accept the control of our Celestial Empire, they will be appointed as the king of Zhang Lexing and unified the command of the crimps there. In this way, he can also expand his army on a large scale. Also, he can do this to the Liu Lichuan in Shanghai." Hong Xiuquan stroked his beard and smiled, "The marshal of his is a bit inappropriate."

Yang Xiuqing shook her head, "I think there is no need to be awarded another title in the future."

"Oh?" Hong Xiuquan looked at him with a smile and asked in confusion, "The meaning of Qinglang is..."

"I still agree with Brother Haifeng's previous statement that the official system of the Celestial Dynasty should be changed slowly." Yang Xiuqing didn't say anything more. He knew in his heart that the purpose of the Heavenly King would be the king of Zhang Lexing and Liu Lichuan would not be that simple.

"Okay, the government affairs of the Celestial Empire are all controlled by Qing Pao. Since you said that, I have nothing to say." Hong Xiuquan waved his hand casually, looked at Zheng Nan, and then looked at Yang Xiuqing, "Qing Pao, how did I ask you for help?"
