However, Mai Ke specifically told Xiao Changhe not to divulge anything that happened today, and if he couldn't guarantee it, he couldn't stay. Xiao Changhe thought carefully again and calmly made a guarantee.

Subsequently, Mai Ke sent three guards, each riding his own bird of prey, to send the three to the holy mountain. Only Xiao Yang and his wife are prohibited, while Xiao Changfu is free. He had the opportunity to fly into the sky on a big bird, and he was both happy and scared, and he shouted all the way away.

Xiao Changhe, who is also a teenager, has good eyes and almost regrets his decision. The chances of taking to the skies are slim to none.

Mai Ke patted him on the shoulder and told him that he would have a lot of opportunities in the future. If needed, he can have his own special bird as a mount.

Then Mai Ke pulled the fifth brother into a room and repaired his face with a movement of the spirit rhino. After finishing it, I looked back and forth a few times before I was satisfied. did the same thing for his figure, found Xiao Chaogui's clothes and changed them, and then walked out. It took only a quarter of an hour.

Xiao Changhe stood there thinking about something, and when he saw Xiao Chaosi coming out, he asked in surprise: "Dad, why are you back?"

Seeing that my father didn't speak, but just a smile on his face, and seeing Mai Ke also walking out, he was also full of smiles, and couldn't help but wonder: "Why don't you speak, Dad?

"Hahaha!" the two laughed at the same time, and then high-fived each other, celebrating the development of another function.

If the son can't tell the real from the fake, the level of makeup should really pass.

At this time, Xiao Changhe also saw the mystery, looked at it closely, and said with admiration: "You are Uncle Xiao! It's exactly the same as my father, there is no difference! I remember that the two of you have slightly different body shapes, why is there no difference now?"

Mai Ke was still curious and asked, "Then how did you recognize him as Uncle Xiao?"

"The smile is a little different. This was originally for my father's words, and when he was so happy, the corners of his mouth would be elongated to the side instead of upturned. Uncle Xiao's was slightly upturned. But I don't think anyone can tell the difference except me. ”

Mai Ke looked at Changhe, and liked this young man very much, being smart is one thing, and more importantly, being stable beyond his age. After thinking for a while, he said to him: "Changhe, for the needs of work, I am the master and let you recognize your Uncle Xiao as your father, are you willing?"

"Dad, you have to teach He'er well in the future. "I didn't expect this kid to agree so happily, as if he was waiting for this opportunity.

In fact, that's exactly what happened. He had long seen that this Uncle Xiao was extraordinary, much more powerful than his own father. It's not that a child is snobbish, he's just a hero worship, it's the same in all eras.

Besides, in that era, there was no big difference between calling uncle, godfather, and master, so he didn't have any psychological barriers, and immediately agreed.

From now on, he can call Uncle Xiao "Dad" like his own father in front of people. This Xiao Chaogui officially took office and implemented various measures with great fanfare.

Early the next morning, the trio appeared together and met with the Xiao family and the Jiang family respectively, nominally to introduce Mai Ke, but in essence to test the makeup effect, but with Xiao Changhe's cooperation, none of them showed any suspicions.

The second purpose is to inform everyone that the two coalition armies of Xiao and Chiang have been formally established, and then they will immediately concentrate on training, and strive to improve their martial arts and cooperative operations as much as possible before the arrival of the enemy.

At this point, the Fourth Army of the Kingdom of Heaven was also officially completed, although it was not as numerous as the other three, but the foundation was ready, and once the army was expanded in the future, the existing personnel could be used as the backbone immediately. Quickly form an effective fighting force.

After agreeing to send military pastors and backbone coaches for this new army, Mai Ke flew to the next destination, Shi Dakai's hometown.

Shi Dakai's situation Shi Dakai has already made an investigation and reported it to Mai Ke.

Shi Dakai was born in 1831 in Linabang Village, Beishan, Gui County. His family is well-off in the local area.

When Shi Dakai was very young, his father died. So he has no brothers. Also because of his elder brother, who lost his father at a young age, he has been supporting the door alone since he was eight or nine years old, and in addition to farming and business, he has been practicing martial arts and cultivating literature.

Shi Dakai is tall and handsome, thirteen years old is already as awe-inspiring as an adult, self-prolific, generous and ambitious. Because of his eagerness for justice and righteousness, he often solves problems for others, and is honored as "Shi Xianggong" before he is weak, and wins the nickname "Shi Dadang".

Now not only Shi Dakai is helping to make preparations, but Feng Yunshan and Feng Yunshan are also coming to assist. Recently, Mai Keyou sent the fourth brother Wei Chang to help, and this is the last important step in the preparation for the anti-clearance.

At this time, the number of people gathered around Shi Dakai had exceeded 4,000, close to 5,000. The backbone are all members of the Shi family. Although Shi Dakai did not have a brother, the prestige he had built up since he was a teenager played a huge role at this time. Those teenagers who usually worship him are flocking to him at this time, defecting to his command to realize their dreams with him.

In terms of faith, this is the place where Feng Yunshan preached, compared to several other early leaders of the Taiping Army, Feng Yunshan's faith foundation is much purer, at least there are no devilish tricks that pretend to be gods. Historically, this is also the reason why he has made the most contributions, but has not been reused.

But now it's different, Mai Ke and others have changed the foolish habits of the early Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history, and put the purity of faith in the first place, so Feng Yunshan has become the top executive of the former Heavenly Kingdom who has done the best in establishing the foundation of faith.

And Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui have been strictly restricted, not to mention Hong Xiuquan, who has become a newcomer. He has no desire or opportunity to support those crooked ways.

In addition to Feng Yunshang's own correct beliefs, he also invited Pastor Liang Fa to lead his assistants to help those who joined the uprising to establish faith, which ensured that although the speed of the construction of this team lagged behind the other Heavenly Army, there was basically no food for faith.

The main problem with Mai Ke's visit this time is not in terms of faith, but in terms of employing people. Shi Dakai has many advantages, but there is only one thing that everyone disagrees with, but Shi Dakai just doesn't listen to persuasion.

He insisted on appointing Zhang Suimou as a military advisor!

And Shi Dakai and Feng Yunshan, and later Wei Changhui were resolutely opposed!
