Chapter 27 Guangxi Bandit Suppression (1)

Feng Yunshan and Yang Xiuqing returned to Jintian County on May 23. This time, the two left to make great progress in the development of more congregations in the Zijing Mountains. They rushed over to preach the "God Worship Society" and returned. In addition to the two of them, there were also father and son. The father was called Meng Shangtian and his son was called Meng Shiyong. People from Pingnan, Guangxi were also poor peasants.

Hong Xiuquan always treats newcomers to the group with courtesy. After hearing the news, he brought Xiao Wei and the other two out of the county town: "Thank you for your hard work, two brothers!"

"I dare not behave, I dare not behave!" Yang Xiuqing and Feng Yunshan hurriedly bowed: "I dare not be the eldest brother to go out of the city to greet him. I feel ashamed."

"Where?" Hong Xiuquan was very tolerant and generous, and helped the two of them up: "The two brothers worked tirelessly for my association. What's the point of traveling between me? "

Several people exchanged greetings, and Yang Xiuqing introduced them to everyone. After hearing the other party’s name, Hong Xiuquan frowned and immediately hid: “Welcome two brothers to the association. Oh, we should be called brothers in the association, but it is not Hong’s tongue.”

"I dare not, I dare not!" Meng Deen was not very literate and his speech was completely confused: "It was an unexpected surprise that my father and son were taken in by my elder brother to join the club. I would never dare to have any other extravagant wishes."

Several people looked at each other and smiled: "Let's talk to each other when we go home?"

They returned home without saying a word and sat down with each other. Someone who joined the new Meng family and his son took them down to rest. There were only a few backbone of the Tiandihui Society in the second hall. Feng Yunshan took out the roster he brought back and handed it up: "This is the congregation that Brother Yang and I have developed in the Zijing Mountain area this time, with a total of 387 people. Please check it out."

"Okay!" Hong Xiuquan took it but did not unfold: "Our congregation is increasing, which shows that my association has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Qing Yaoxutong is shaking!" Because it was in the dark room, there were people close to him around, and there was no need to avoid talking. Hong Xiuquan was in a good mood and ordered: "Come and get wine! I want to celebrate the merits with the two brothers Feng Yang."

The rice wine was brought and the Meng family and his son were invited to the table. Everyone drank happily. Even Feng Yunshan, who didn't easily get involved in the cup, drank a few cups, and then they all slept without mentioning them.

When they woke up, they were dressed up. Before everyone could get the green salt to rinse their mouths and wash their faces, the gate of the courtyard was suddenly pushed open, and a panicked man with coarse cloth ran in: "Mr. Hong? Mr. Hong?"

Although Hong Xiuquan has been dismissed from his fame and fortune, he is always a scholar. The people in Jintian County are simple and always have to look up to those who study and read like this, so he always calls him "Mr. Hong?"

"What's wrong?" Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan welcomed out of the second hall: "Uncle Zhang, what's wrong?"

The person who came was named Zhang, who was at home and made a living by farming. He was also one of the members of the Gods Church. He ran with sweat: "Outside the county...outside the county..."

"What's wrong with the outside of the county?"

"A lot of officers and soldiers came. For some reason, they blocked all the roads on all sides. Even when we were farming, we were blocked by them and asked us to go back to our houses and wait for the instructions of the county master." Zhang Erbang told the story panting and finally said: "When I returned to the county town, I saw Jin Wei and his two troupes coming here, but I don't know why."

Before he finished speaking, someone knocked on the gate of the courtyard: "Hong Huoxue, is Hong Huoxue in the mansion?"

Hong Xiuquan's face immediately turned white. It was not because the two squad leaders arrived at the mansion so early, but because of what Zhang Erbang said just now: There are officers and soldiers everywhere outside the county town? What is it for himself? It is not for himself? Instead, I comfort myself, no. If this is the case, I am afraid that the other party would have come to the door and taken it long ago, so why knock on the door?

Thinking of this in my heart, my face gradually returned to normal, and I ordered my subordinates to open the middle door: "Two team leaders are here to visit, Hong is inadvertent to welcome you, please forgive me!"

"Hong Huoxue, the county master invites you over. Let's go with us?"

Feng Yunshan was moved in his heart, and he quickly asked with a smile: "Two team leaders, do you know that Mr. Zhang asked my eldest brother over there, and there was any way to send me?"

"Feng Yunshan," said the two troupes who were not so polite to him. Jintou curled his lips disdainfully, and he said, "This time our brothers were also ordered to invite Mr. Hong. What are you asking? The master is destined. Do we have to ask clearly before doing it?"

The scene was a little stiff for a moment, and Yang Xiuqing squeezed out a complimentary smile: "Two team leaders, we countrymen are shallow intestines and do not know the right way to speak. Please don't be surprised by the two adults. This is a little bit of intention, buy tea for the two adults."

Jintou took the silver croaker handed over by his friend Yang and weighed it in his hand: "Brother Yang can speak. Originally, the orders of the superiors and subordinates are not bad, so our brothers are also running errands for others. This time, he was ordered by the Lord to ask Mr. Hong to go to the government office to ask questions, but I don't know what it was."

Yang Xiuqing was very agile: "Two team leaders, did Mr. Zhang really ask you to 'invite' Mr. Hong?"

"Yes, is there anything wrong?"

"Ah, no, no." He returned to Mr. Hong and said in a low voice, who nodded: "Golden head, can I change my clothes?"

"Ah, of course, of course." For the sake of money, the two team leaders were much more likely to talk.

When the group returned to Hall 2, Xiao Chaogui spat fiercely: "Don't lose your mother! If one day I will succeed, I will have to make these demons...!"

"Brother! Be careful of the walls!" Feng Yunshan scolded and looked back at Yang Xiuqing: "Brother, do you think there will be something wrong?"

"I think Zhang Fengpo cannot know about us." Yang Xiuqing thought about it for a moment. He followed everyone, not sure, nor did he hear Zhang Erbang just came to report the message. He regarded this summoning as an ordinary little thing. He said now: "This time, I probably just asked you to go to the palace to discuss matters, but I can't guess what the specific matter is."

Wei Changhui with triangular eyes smiled: "Of course Brother Yang can't guess, it's not the worm in Zhang Fengpo's belly! Besides, even if there is any change, are we still afraid that he will not succeed?"

"That's not what you say." Feng Yunshan shook his head: "Although we have many troops now, they are all scattered in Guizhou Province. Originally, my elder brother was preparing to issue a call for the 'Group Camp', but it took time for these people to come from afar. Brother, this time when I go to the government office, no matter what Zhang Fengpo says to you, I must remember it carefully. If I can't make a decision for a while, I will talk about it after I come back."

"There is another point. Don't say a word that is put into the ground."

"Mr. Hong, are you okay? Don't you dare to let the old man wait too long?"

"Ah, here, here." Hong Xiuquan looked at everyone again, and saw that there was no more to explain to a few people, so he pushed open the door: "Sorry, sorry, the two team leaders have been waiting for a long time."

"Nothing, nothing. Let's go?"

Three people walked slowly through Jintian County, two in front and one behind. Hong Xiuquan didn't know why Zhang Huchen asked him to pass by the mansion, but he thought that Zhang Erbang told him this morning that there were officers and soldiers everywhere outside the four parts of the county town, and it seemed that he had blocked several roads entering and leaving the county town. What was this for?

If it was for people like him, it seemed too serious. If not, why? For a moment, I was worried about gains and losses, and I didn't know what was going on in my mind. He just lowered his head and thought about his thoughts. When he was photographed, he immediately became panicked: "Ah? What are you doing?"

A loud shout scared the golden head and retracted his arm: "You...?"

"Ah, rude, rude!" Hong Xiuquan smiled bitterly: "It's really rude!"

The two troupes did not say much, and accompanied him to the red-lacquered gate of the Jintian County Government Office. After waiting in the signing room for a while, the two troupes walked out again and led him around the corner gate. When they arrived at the entrance of the second hall, they were similar to the decorations of wealthy families that can be seen in Guangxi. The gate was made of bamboo, which was beautiful and cool. A gust of breeze brought it, making people feel clear.

Walking into the second hall, eight screens were divided into two rows and stood erect on both sides. Hong Xiuquan was painting something on it, but he was not in a mood to appreciate it. His eyes were rumbling, as if he wanted to find something unusual from it: "Sir, Hong Huoxiu please come."

"Well, thank you for your hard work, you guys go down and rest."

"Yes." The two team leaders bowed and retreated, and closed the door when they left.

Hong Xiuquan was wondering, and heard the sound of slow and heavy footsteps. Zhang Fengpo appeared at the door of the corner gate, wearing a court uniform, embroidered with a seventh-grade Hongshuzi and a round cool hat. The plain gold top beads reflected in the sunlight. He did not dare to be negligent. He quickly lifted the hem of his clothes and said, "Please pay tribute to my parents!" He was about to kneel down, but saw several people coming out behind Zhang Fengpo. The leader was dressed as a civil servant, but compared with Zhang Fengpo, this person's identity was much higher: the same court uniform was embroidered with a brocade pheasant patch, and the top beads on his head were also made of coral!

He didn't even have time to recall the difference between the level and clothing of Qing Yao in his memory, but the last person surprised him even more. This person was about the same age as the second person, but he was dressed in an officer, and the court uniform was embroidered with a Qilin! How could this be? Qilin can only be accessorized by the first-rate of the military officer. Could it be...?

The last one came out was also court uniforms, cold hats, and Dongzhu. What surprised him the most was that the person who came was actually wearing a bright yellow jacket! Hong Xiuquan's pores were all opened: The emperor's yellow jacket? Who is this person?

Zheng Zuchen looked at him a few times, sneered and turned back to Zeng Guofan and said, "Mr. Zeng, my emperor's natural appearance is comparable to that of Zhuge Wuhou of the Three Kingdoms. Just a decree in the Forbidden City is enough to give the ugliness the heads!"
