Chapter 867: Mai Ke expands the land and adds troops

As soon as the words of the three fell, the two execution tables on the left and right were also sprinkled with sword light at the same time.

A total of 10 executioners dressed in red on the two execution tables cleanly cut off the heads of ten death row inmates.

The first few people who lost their heads were all the heads of the government officials in the state capital, or the middle-level officers of the Qing army ranked below Tutao, and they were all corrupt elements who committed great crimes and had great public anger.

However, their position was inferior to that of the main culprit, so they had to receive the punishment of beheading.

Because these people were all notorious, they were extremely well-known among the audience, that is, they had great hatred value, and as they were subjected to capital punishment, the two million spectators applauded, and their voices were so loud that they soared into the sky, shaking the clouds in the sky into a flurry.

At the same time, the two main culprits were pulled up, and they were already tied to a torture vehicle specially used for Ling Chi.

Probably knowing that now is the last chance to see the world, Gu Yu and Tu Tao opened their eyes wide, looking around, not knowing what to think.

Maybe it's repentance?

Maybe it's no regrets, right?

In any case, today's ending cannot be changed.

Unexpectedly, the first person to carry out the execution was Dong Shanren, he brought a glass of wine, fed Gu Yu a drink, and said: "You and I have a relationship, all I can do is a glass of farewell spirits, maybe reduce some pain for you!"

At this time, Gu Jiayu came over and said: "What you have done is not tolerated by the law of the country and the family, I only have the righteousness to kill my relatives, don't blame me! When you were dying, I came to see you off as an uncle, and I apologize to you." On weekdays, I only care about my own officialdom and entertainment, although you and I are in the neighboring state capital, and I didn't remind you much, and you went to the point of no return, and finally the white-haired person sent the black-haired person, and the uncle is sorry for you. ”

With that, he turned and left.

Gu Yu, who was originally expressionless, suddenly rolled out a large cloudy tear in his eyes, and muttered in his mouth: "Thank you, uncle, it's my own ghost." Failed to live up to his uncle's teachings. ”

He actually followed his uncle's example. followed in the footsteps of his uncle and embarked on a career in office, but he learned the surface but did not learn the fundamentals. There can only be different paths.

during this time. Tu Tao over there has been screaming for a long time. I was stabbed more than a dozen times.

In order to catch up with the schedule, the presiding executioner here asked more than a dozen people to go together. More than a dozen knives were cut together, and Gu Yu just moved, and he didn't make a sound at all.

When the experienced old executioner saw this state, he already understood in his heart that this person's heart was dead, and that the person sitting in the torture car here was nothing but a walking corpse.

On the one hand, there was a hoarse howl, and on the other hand, it was like a silent lamb, silent, forming a stark contrast, but the people below did not know the inside story, and only saw a knife go down and cut these two people alive.

The executions on both sides were moving very fast, because they had five classes of executioners taking turns to fight, five men in each shift, and after going up, they cut two rounds in succession, and then changed to the next class.

And most of these executioners are cameos by soldiers of the Heavenly Army!

They are all battle-hardened warriors, and with their participation in the rescue, they have long hated these scumbags, so they cut off their heads, which are not inferior to those professional veterans!

As soon as the first two rounds passed, the left and right execution grounds became flowing operations, and more than 1,000 death row prisoners were continuously pulled over, and when they passed by the executioner on duty, they left their heads behind, and their bodies were carried away by the Heavenly Army soldiers who helped.

This greatly accelerated the speed of execution, and more than 1,000 people, in less than an hour, were all killed!

Although the scope of these people in the back is not large, they are all blood debts, so everyone is beheaded, which always arouses the cheers of the audience for revenge!

At this time, Ling Chi's side was also over, and the two of them were no more or less, and they were both slashed a thousand times!

As for whether they died before that, no one cares.

At the end of the execution, those heads and torture instruments were quickly cleaned up, and Mai Ke struck while the iron was hot and moved on to the next item.

It's hard to gather everyone, how can Mai Ke not make full use of it?

Although he was a little hesitant, Mai Ke remembered the Bible's teaching that "preach the word at any time or not", and decided to preach the gospel.

Because he also knows that he is only preaching the gospel according to God's requirements, and whether the audience accepts the gospel, believes in the Lord Jesus, or becomes a Christian is God's work.

"Today, we have eradicated some of these corrupt elements and eliminated some of our hatred, but in order to truly take revenge, and at the same time to make this tragedy never happen again, and to be further blessed with eternal life, each of you must change your life and be preserved by God.

It's a complicated process, but the first step is to receive the gospel of God!

"I am being sent by God today to preach the gospel and bring heavenly blessings to you.

"If you feel happy to have killed corrupt officials, and if you feel that you will be happy without the oppression of corrupt officials, then they are nothing compared to the good news of the gospel and the blessings of eternal life!

"What is the Gospel......

Then there's the set of bumps that Mai Ke often nags, but with a slight adjustment of the arrangement and intonation to better suit today's audience.

He felt that he was familiar with it, but it was the first time for the audience to hear it, especially Mai Ke, who spoke in a simple way, without any theological language, and everyone could understand it.

Everyone also quickly shifted from the happiness and enmity just now to the pursuit of something more long-term.

The pursuit of eternal life and trust in Jesus is the result of the work of the Holy Spirit.

When Mai Ke called, more than half of them raised their hands and decided to follow Jesus and walk the heavenly way.

Mai Ke then asked everyone to separate, and those who did not raise their hands stood to the right, and those who raised their hands stood on the left.

It took about ten minutes for the two teams to be completely separated, and in the process, there were some people who did not raise their hands and went to the left, and there were also very few people who raised their hands and stood on the right instead.

There is no way to do it, some people just move slowly and half a beat, while others, on the contrary, move fast. But there was a lack of persistence, and as a result, I started quite early, that is, after walking for a while, I turned back and ran back to the starting point.

But all those who are standing on the right, there are still things to do, and there are still things to do.

With a move, Mai Ke quickly figured out that there were about 600,000 people who had made up their minds today.

This is the main venue, and I don't know how many people are in the other sub-venues.

Of these 600,000 people, two-thirds belong to Yiyang Prefecture, and the remaining one-third belong to other nearby prefectures and counties.

Those who do not have a decision. Mai Ke immediately told sΓΉ that they could go.

But only a handful of them are really walking. Everyone has the potential to be curious about babies, and they are no exception.

Everything today made them feel novel, but it did not satisfy their desire for curiosity. Now they just want to see more novelties.

Therefore. They all found all sorts of excuses to stay.

Seeing that those people did not go. Mike didn't chase them either, he just watched it if he wanted, and there were no secrets that needed to be avoided.

In fact. They don't go, they are in Mai Ke's arms!

Let me take a look at the following procedures, I don't believe you are indifferent!

Mai Ke immediately started the following procedure.

"Thank God for saving these lost souls who have made a decision today, so that you can make a decision to believe in the Lord and become a disciple of the Lord Jesus!

So, everyone reported their names, and then followed Mai Ke to learn a sentence, expressing that they recognized Jesus as their savior and the master of life, and returned to heaven from now on.

At the end of the prayer, Mai Ke asked everyone to separate again, with one team in Yiyang Prefecture and another team in other states and counties.

After doing this, Li Kaifang came to the front of a group of people in Yiyang Prefecture, greeted everyone, and said: "I am the deputy commander-in-chief of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Heavenly Army, and now I will recruit everyone to join the Heavenly Army! The prerequisite for joining my team is that you must be a Christian!"

Everyone is no stranger to the Commander-in-Chief Li of the Heavenly Army, because he is the commander of the Heavenly Army who saves people and stands on the front line.

And the people standing here, without exception, were all rescued by the heavenly army.

Therefore, when Li Kaifang stopped there, everyone had to greet him, and when they saw that he had come to a set of speeches, they first quieted down and listened to what he said.

As soon as I heard that it was a recruitment, many people responded, and this one said: "Kaifang, count me in!"

The one said, "Lao Li, I've already made up my mind! I'll go with you!"

Others said: "Glory of the ancestors, the army of the day, China!"

After a while, Li Kaifang was surrounded and couldn't get through.

Li Kaifang didn't expect his appeal to be so strong, it seems that no one doesn't want to be a soldier!

Li Kaifang wants to expand the army, but he can't expand 400,000 at once, right?

In order to save time, he also learned from Mai Ke and divided people into two groups, one group was willing to join the army, and the other group was unwilling to join the army.

As a result, I learned that 390,000 people were willing to join the army.

There are only 10,000 people who don't plan to join the army!

It's not that they don't want to, but for various reasons, they can't get out of it now.

Li Kaifang was worried, he planned to recruit up to 100,000 troops, and now he has to choose one out of four, and the difficulty is not ordinary.

Fortunately, he had already prepared, and he asked the monks led by Yue Jian to help test the foundation of these people.

Li Kaifang asked these people to stand in a row, a total of 1,000 rows.

Then the monks and soldiers lined up and tested the three hundred and ninety people in that row.

All the people stood in a horse stride position, and when they were firmly established, the monks waved their palms and pushed.

They all have good momentum, and those who still stand firm after being pushed are qualified.

If you can't even tie the horse steps, then you don't need to tie it, just knock it out!

After standing in line, the monks and soldiers used to do it together, and it was done within ten minutes without blowing effort!

100,000 people who stood firm happily followed Li Kaifang!

The rest of the people were extremely depressed, but there was nothing they could do but watch the 100,000 people walk away.

Suddenly, Gu Jiaxin came over, along with Mai Ke, saying that he also needed 100,000 people, and the formation of the wrong place was to defend Yiyang Prefecture and the ten subordinate counties.

Mai Ke told the monks that he could recommend those who did not stand firm, but only took a step or two back, to Mayor Gu.

Just now, Mai Ke entrusted the matter here to Gu Jiaxing, and asked him to concurrently serve as the acting mayor of Yiyang Holy City.

The monks immediately followed Mai Ke's orders. The second team of 100,000 people is recommended.

They also got on the train, but this train did not leave the vicinity of Yiyang, but cruised through the surrounding villages and counties in the surrounding areas.

The remaining 190,000 people were even more disappointed, the second chance was missed, could there be a third?

As a result, the leaders of the counties they trust are now not called county lords, but town mayors, and the original counties are now enough to be changed to holy towns. It was all when Gu Jiaxing was appointed just now. Positive.

These people, without exception, gave all their limited food to the hungry during the disaster relief, despite the danger of starvation.

At a time of crisis for life. The best way to test the quality of people!

They are able to sacrifice themselves. Help others. Presumably, it is also difficult to exploit others and engage in those corrupt behaviors for the sake of their own interests.

They come. It is also here to conscript, 10,000 in each county, and 100,000 in ten counties!

The people who are being frustrated are overjoyed, haha!

Mai Ke put forward an objective requirement again, this time the standard is to push, no matter how many steps back, but in the end it does not fall, you can join.

According to the table just now, 1,000 monks and soldiers recommended another 100,000 troops.

The men laughed and went away happily, following their mayor back to their respective counties.

In the end, 90,000 remained, and this time these people were completely desperate to be soldiers.

It is said that there are only three things, and now that three times have passed, is there a fourth time?

Everyone is depressed, some people have already left, and they feel that if they stay here, they will lose everything.

At this time, Mai Ke walked over.

He didn't say anything else, only one sentence: "Follow me!"

Then they were put on a train, which was completely empty, except for two people, one John and the other Method.

John is the deputy mayor of the Holy City of Funiu Mountain, in charge of matters related to the faith, and is actually the chief pastor of the All-Holy City.

Wei Li was called by Mai Ke, and he has been accompanying the various celestial armies, cooperating with their military attacks to preach the gospel.

After everyone sat down, Mai Ke introduced the two pastors and told them that after the short training of the two pastors, they would go deep into the surrounding states and counties to preach the gospel, so that the people there could receive God's eternal blessings just like us.

This is also the reason why Mai Ke called Wei Li over, the Funiu Mountain District, Nanyang Prefecture, Yiyang Prefecture that have been occupied, the surrounding areas that have been affected, and the Lianghuai area, add up to tens of millions of people, and the gospel field is very vast, so he needs to come over to strengthen the gospel preaching here.

John came mainly to assist Methodist work, after all, he was in charge of the local gospel ministry, and he also reported to Methodist and learned about missionary work.

Before leaving, Mai Ke instructed these 90,000 people, saying that they had finally become the Heavenly Army! They were not only a member of the Heavenly Army, but they also preached the Gospel, so they were more important than mere Heavenly Army soldiers.

Mai Ke left the train and ran to the venue just now, where they were not finished.

The people there were all from the surrounding area, and after feeling the atmosphere of today's conference, they all decided to believe in the Lord.

When Mai Ke separated them just now, he gave them a special task to move back to their original place, where they could prepare for the arrival of the Heavenly Army.

At the same time, a third of them were retained and arranged by Methodist for them to carry out some missionary work.

After Mai Ke had placed all these people, he returned to the front of the venue.

There are still 400,000 undecided attendees.

He was also curious about how many people had changed their minds after the excitement just now.

Sure enough, they're still there!

Mai Ke saw a large crowd of people gathered in the square from afar.

Mai Ke walked forward quickly, and asked, as if he didn't know anything, "Do you have anything else to do?"

Everyone saw that this was not the one who decided everything?

With a "buzz", they surrounded them.

Everyone asked questions and made demands, making Mai Ke quarrel with one head and two big, annoying Ren'er and making it painful.

Mai Ke said loudly: "Everyone, please say one person, what do you want, okay?"

As soon as Mai Ke asked for this, no one spoke, and he was quiet for a while.

Mai Ke pointed to a simple guy next to him and said, "Come on!"

The lad was not the kind of eloquent man, and cowardly muttered twice, "We were wrong. Now we all want to raise our hands!"

Mai Ke waited for this sentence, and asked loudly: "You are all the same, do you think you are wrong?"

Quite a few people replied: "Yes, we were wrong. But his voice, in addition to being uneven, was also very low, and he seemed to feel that he could not be justified.

Mai Kefu asked loudly again: "Be louder, you haven't eaten for a few days?"

"We were wrong!" the vast majority shouted a few times.

"Still don't have the strength, do it again!" Mai Ke shouted.

"We're wrong!" shouted everyone this time with their throats straightened!

"Well, I accept your confession, but you have to keep it in mind. There are some mistakes that cannot be made. If you do, you lose your chance! Just like today, you know you're wrong, but it's too late!"

"What? too late? No, boss. Give us a chance!"

"It's over! What can I do?"

More people don't speak. Frosted eggplant - wilted.

There are others. Seeing that there was no hope, he turned his head and left.

Mai Ke felt that it was almost there, and everyone should be impressed. He gave way to those who walked away: "I haven't finished my words yet, don't you want to listen to them before leaving?"

Is there still a play? Those people suddenly turned around!

Everyone's eyes focused on Mai Ke again, which actually gave him a hot feeling.

"There is no delay in your salvation, there is no sooner or later in your salvation! In this respect, not only are you not too late, but it is the right time! Because when a person is saved is determined by God, and God has decided that you will be saved at this time, and you will be saved at this time, neither sooner nor later! We thank God for that!"

"Oh, I see!, and what did you say that we were late?" the crowd asked, confused.

"You are late, which means that you have lost the same opportunity as those who made up your mind earlier than you! Didn't you also see that they all participated in different ranks of the Heavenly Army, and even those who were selected to the end had important arrangements! And if you also yearn for those jobs, you will lose the opportunity, and the Heavenly Army will not be able to repeat that kind of expansion. Mai Ke explained to them in detail.

"Alas, as it is, I want to join the Heavenly Army, and I hope that one day, I will have the same chance as they will save me, and I can also save others. A well-mannered young man was full of emotion.

"But don't be discouraged! God has saved you at this time, and there must be a good will of God! Perhaps a more suitable work awaits you. Now, I'll lead you to a prayer of decision!"

So, Mai Ke recited the same lines as before, and the 350,000 people present all followed Mai Ke to make a decision prayer.

Although Mai Ke said only some familiar words, these people who made a decision prayer were all connected to the Lord Jesus.

After praying, Mai Ke then set up the "Second Yiyang Corps"! All 350,000 people were included.

In order to lead this reserve corps, Mai Ke transferred three generals from Li Kaifang, they were Huang Haoduan, Xie Jinsheng, and Li Tianyou, who served as commander-in-chief and deputy commander-in-chief respectively.

A training regiment was also transferred to be responsible for military training, because this unit, as a reserve, was not on the front line for the time being, but was stationed here to carry out military training.

At the same time, the building near the water was first given the first month, so that Methodist carried out formal faith training, and after the course was completed, the baptism ceremony was carried out.

Although Methodist differs from McKe in some theological understandings, the two are completely identical in the content of the essential truths.

Mai Ke also transferred a military pastoral group to be responsible for specific faith guidance.

In this way, Yiyang Prefecture, which was starved and died in a desperate situation, was completely revived by the Heavenly Army, and the scourge caused by the corrupt elements and its sequelae were also hoeed by Mai Ke and completely solved.

After all the arrangements were made, the army resumed its original schedule and went straight to Yingzhou!

The momentum of the army is still the same, but it is even larger, just from the number of people, it has increased by 100,000 people, and although these 100,000 people are heart disease, their combat effectiveness can be comparable to the veteran soldiers of the heavenly army.

They are good men who can resist the push of the monks!

Since the number of people has almost doubled, Mai Ke turned the train into a double line, and now the two trains go hand in hand!

Within half an hour, the train crossed the border of Luoshan County, and then headed northeast, crossing the Huai River in a straight line from the county seat of Xixian County.

Then, head east almost all the way, crossing two large rivers along the way to Huaibin County.

Walk further east for less than ten minutes, directly cross the boundary of Henan-Anhui Province, cross three big rivers in succession, and arrive at a county town in Anhui, Funan.

This is a county town where the Heavenly Army went out of Henan and entered Anhui, but what I didn't expect was that Mai Ke's heart-attacking policy bloomed here.

The flowers are not big, but they are beautiful.

The county ordered Xie Qian to open the city gate and personally go out of the city for ten miles to welcome the heavenly army!

Mai Ke was overjoyed, but also puzzled, why is this?.

(To be continued......)
