While resting and recuperating in the secret camp, Mai Ke reached a consensus with Wu Wenrong, the governor of Yunnan and Guizhou and the eldest brother of the sworn brother, that Wu Wenrong would continue to serve as his governor, but secretly participated in the kingdom of heaven and contributed to the establishment of the kingdom of heaven.

Of course, at this time, the real reason for Wu Wenrong and Mai Ke to go on the same road was to overthrow the Manchu Qing Dynasty and realize the will of their ancestors.

Before the specific implementation plan was introduced, Mai Ke took several measures to ensure the realization of the immediate goal, one was for the follow-up process of their return to their hometown, and the other was to secretly change the ownership of Yungui.

Mai Ke first sent a guard to find the leader of the beggar gang, who was now in the expeditionary force to India.

Then he sent another guard to find Feng Yunshan and asked him to mobilize 4,000 soldiers to come over, and asked them to be all Chinese.

Originally, Mai Ke could first withdraw to the Mekong Covenant area, and then prepare to recuperate for a period of time before returning to the army, but time did not permit, so he decided to transfer some troops and then proceed according to the original plan.

At the same time, he also asked Feng Yunshan to organize a group of priests with Gavin, which was necessary to convert the ownership of Yungui, and the number was not limited, with a maximum of 5,000 people.

After sending these people out, Mai Ke also returned to the accommodation arranged for him, calmed down, and sorted out the experience during this time.

First of all, the casualties of the expeditionary force were unprecedented—the number of deaths alone reached 3,500, and there were two backbone leaders, one was Ma Lanshi, the commander of the spear team of the Ma Jiajun, who was poisoned and died, and the other was Shi Dayong, the commander of Shi Dakai's broadsword team, who died with the enemy.

Secondly. The triumphant return, which was relatively simple, turned into a long-distance escape, and had to take a detour to Yungui, and stopped halfway, so that I don't know when Lu Dao will be able to return to the original scheduled location.

Third, Mai Ke was poisoned, causing the spirit rhino to move and have to suspend other functions, and go all out to find an antidote for Mai Ke, so that the miracles and wonders of Mai Ke and Heaven relying on the spirit rhino to move were also temporarily stopped.

Since there is no help from the Spirit. Two of the biggest negative effects followed.

Injured people. Unable to receive timely treatment, they had to watch their injuries worsen and then die, and those who died only temporarily were brought back to life without a single move. It has also become a real death.

There is no such instantaneous "driving things" function. The expeditionary force had to rely on its own legs to break out of the encirclement. Get rid of the chase and, therefore, succeed at every step. All have to pay with their lives.

The expeditionary force, despite its heavy losses, was not for nothing.

The biggest takeaway is that Mai Ke recognized the Manchu nature, and once they thought that their rule was threatened, they would do whatever it took to fight you, so all illusions should be abandoned.

Through tribulation, the brotherhood with the governor of Yungui deepened, and it also gained valuable allies for the kingdom of heaven, laying the foundation for the future peace of Yungui and Gui.

Third, through the trials and tribulations along the way, the faith of the brothers in the expeditionary force was tempered and their faith strengthened.

Fourth, the loss of the extraordinary help of the spirit of the rhinoceros has made everyone get rid of the idea of dependence and contempt for the enemy, and urged everyone to work in a down-to-earth manner, realizing that only hard work can be rewarded.

Mai Ke felt that God's use of this method and at such a time to carry out such a test on all the people of the Triumphant Expeditionary Force had a deep meaning, and it should be clearly understood by everyone who was present at the scene.

So Mai Ke felt that he should hold a meeting for everyone and said.

Another matter is Wu Wenrong's personal beliefs, he used to talk to him about either the friendship of the brothers or the anti-Qing national righteousness, and he has not had the opportunity to conduct in-depth exchanges of faith, which has a key impact on related matters.

On the personal side, it is related to whether he is saved, and in terms of the great cause of the kingdom of heaven, it is related to the transformation of Yungui into the inheritance of the kingdom of heaven, and as a key person, his understanding and behavior directly affect whether he can be transformed, and the quality of transformation.

After thinking about it, Mai Ke prayed a thanksgiving prayer and prepared to rest early, which was also an unprecedented time, and his average sleep time did not exceed two hours a day.

Before going to bed, he went to check on the spirit again.

Although he can't operate the Spirit Rhino Movement now, nor can he actively communicate with the Spirit Rhino Movement, he can passively receive and view the information left by the Spirit Rhino Movement, that is, the latest developments in looking for a detoxification method every day.

At first glance, nothing has changed, and it is still the same as usual: the search continues......

Early the next morning, Mai Ke gathered everyone in the open space in front of each cave, ready to give a speech to everyone.

When I arrived yesterday, it was completely dark, so I couldn't see my surroundings, but now in the light of the morning sun, everyone was immediately attracted by the beautiful natural scenery.

It turned out that there were towering trees all around, and the tops of the trees were covered with climbing plants, covering the entire clearing tightly, no wonder it was difficult to see the stars last night!

Except for a narrow path as an exit, there are caves all around, and the portals of the caves are also covered with green vines, and they are full of flowers of various colors, which are extremely enchanting.

Mai Ke first led the group to make a morning prayer, and then read a few passages of scripture, teaching that persecution by the enemy is inevitable, encouraging Christians to hold fast to the faith, to the end, never waver, and God will surely give the blessing of his living God to those who trust in Him.

As soon as Mai Ke started, he saw Wu Wenrong coming, and he stood still under the big tree at the entrance, listening attentively to what Mai Ke was saying.

As he summed up, Mai Ke reviewed and summarized the Arc de Triomphe incident, during which he proposed to pray for five minutes of silent remembrance for those brothers who had been laid to rest in the arms of the Lord.

Then he said, "Brothers, we know that God is in control of all things, that God is faithful and powerful, and that He will do His will for the good of those who love God.

At this moment of the imminent all-out war against the Manchus, God has given us such a thing, which is to use our own experience to tell us that at all times, we must not be complacent, we must not underestimate the enemy, but we must be careful to face the enemy in front of us, including respecting them and learning from them, otherwise we will suffer greater casualties!

At the same time, tell us not to be carried away by victory, no matter how great our victory is, and beware of capsizing in the gutter!

"On the other hand, we must not be carried away by hatred, but always remember that the Manchus are both our enemies and the objects of our gospel, and always remember the teachings of the Lord Jesus - love our enemies!"

With Mai Ke's speech, everyone fell into deep thought, especially Wu Wenrong.
