Chapter 467: The Yun Family's Army Produces Children
Heledi Village is much larger than Guanlubu Village, with more than 400 households, and it is also relatively wealthy, at least there are big landlords like the Feng family, and they are the leaders of the villagers in everything.
The leader's faith in the Lord is an excellent testimony to everyone, and even those who are not very clear about the Christian faith follow the crowd.
In particular, this kind of following the trend not only does not cost money, but also benefits financially - the rich man Feng Shao gave each of the new believers a bucket of rice.
As a result, after the old stubborn Feng Shao became a believer, within two days, the entire village of Heledi Village became the second village to believe in the whole village after the whole village of Guanlubu Village.
Now Feng Yunshan's injuries have basically improved, and he is more energetic to devote himself to the preparations for the Heavenly Uprising.
The main direction of the two brothers' efforts now is to pull up a team, and when the time comes, the Heavenly Kingdom will raise the banner of anti-Qing righteousness, and here they will respond in groups and cooperate with the action from the ground in Guangdong.
This plan was also largely confirmed by Mai Ke with them when they came here, and now that the two villages have all believed, it is just natural to pull up the team.
There are three people who are most active in doing this, two armed and one literate.
Liangwu is Hong Xiuquan's two brothers, the eldest brother Hong Renfa and the second brother Hong Renda, although these two are not educated, they are simple in nature, and they have been working in agriculture for a long time to refine a pair of steel and iron bones, and they are born strong, coupled with a rough personality, they are brave and aggressive.
Originally, both of them suppressed their personalities and hid the side of fighting and bravery, but when they were provoked by Feng Yunshan and the others, the volcano erupted in an instant. He has become the most active participant and leader in military activities such as recruiting and training troops.
Yiwen is Feng Yunshan's cousin Feng Yashu, who has always been full of ideals of a rich country and a strong people, but unfortunately there is no place for it.
In real history, he was even more miserable than Hong Renxuan, and after several setbacks, he wanted to go to the area occupied by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but he was unsuccessful, and finally died of illness on the journey.
Just such a person with lofty ideals who has great ambitions and does not spare the losers now has the correct belief and has such conditions and opportunities. Why don't you have a big picture?
Thereupon. He became a key member of the planner, planning and managing the rebel army, and worked hard every day.
Out of these three, there are also two young heroes, these are Feng Yunshan's two sons - Feng Ruiming and Feng Ruike. One of them was eighteen years old. One is nineteen years old. It is the age of the flesh and blood, and it is even rarer. The young man is calm, both civil and military.
The two grew up in both civil and military education, and now they have devoted the greatest enthusiasm to the Christian faith. He studied the Bible every day, supported his father's military preparations, and became a leader of the younger generation.
Even Feng Yunshan's daughter, Feng Seng, which was her original name, has now been changed to Feng Jiexin, indicating that she has been determined to maintain a clean heart and follow the Savior on the path of heaven since she became a believer.
She found one thing for herself, organized all the unmarried girls like her, and set up a health team, which she was going to do with the rest of Heaven's health team to provide simple healing and care to the wounded brothers on the battlefield.
Of course, this was what his father told her, but he was not asked to follow suit; Feng Jiexin's achievement was completely the result of her own inferences.
In addition to setting up a health team, she was also trained by You Fanglang, who was practicing medicine nearby, to provide them with simple basic training, including dressing wounds, caring for the wounded, and so on.
Although the military preparations of the two were carried out in a secret state, the preaching of the gospel was carried out with great fanfare, so the movements they caused here were quickly detected by the local government, and then reported layer by layer, and finally went to Ye Mingchen, the governor of Gwangju.
This Ye Mingchen once had a friendship with Mai Ke, and Zeng Guofan was also an old friend, and he had always been highly defensive about Christianity, and when he heard the news, he immediately realized that this was a big trouble, and he must take immediate action to nip it in the bud, otherwise Huaxian will not be protected, and Gwangju will also be hanging.
Therefore, he immediately deployed a large army and went to conquer it.
However, this news was detected by Feng Yunshan's eyeliner in Guangzhou, and he immediately stepped up and came back to report.
After some discussion, the two felt that they should avoid the edge, and pulled this newly established recruit army out of the army and transferred it to the Heavenly Kingdom occupation area in Guangxi.
On the way to transfer, they received a call from Mai Ke, and at this time they were still in the territory of Guangdong, and the pursuers behind them were not far away. They are not as fast as the Qing soldiers, and the reason is that they drag their families with their mouths.
If you are only a young man, of course, you can move quickly, but who wants to leave their relatives to be slaughtered by the Manchu army?
As soon as the two heard that Mai Ke was going to transfer the two to the front line of the expeditionary force, they immediately proposed to take their team with them; this was contrary to Mai Ke's original expectations, and he didn't want some newcomers who had no basic combat skills training to take risks.
After the insistence of the two, Mai Ke finally agreed to the request of the two, but it was necessary to separate the troops from their families.
The family members were sent directly to the holy mountain by Mai Ke with a spiritual movement, and the army was led by the two of them to Yangon, where the Burmese royal palace is located.
Going to this place was also requested by Feng Yunshan. His reasoning was that his army was ready to fight a war, and that he needed to make a difference as the future leader of the Mekong Alliance.
Mai Ke thought about it for a while, and thought that it was not completely impossible, anyway, the army would soon finish its sweeping work in the Khmer and Lao Whirlpool, and then march into Burma; even if they could not take Rangoon, it should be no problem to encircle it and wait for the army.
So, he agreed to Feng Yunshan's request and transported them directly outside the city of Yangon.
Now this force is mainly composed of the children of the Feng family, and the Hong family also has a certain number of troops, with a total of 2,000 people, including 1,700 sons and 300 red makeup.
In addition to Feng Yunshan and Feng Yunshan, the main leaders are the top leaders, but they do not have specific positions, as well as Feng Yashu, Hong Renfa, and Hong Renda.
Among them, Hong Renfa served as the brigade commander, Hong Renda was the deputy brigade commander and concurrently served as the commander of the first regiment, the commander of the second regiment was Feng Ruiming, the eldest son of Feng Yunshan, and Feng Yashu was the military pastor.
His Christian faith did not begin with Feng Yunshan's return, but he had not officially become a Christian before, and some of his beliefs were not pure; Feng Yunshan actually corrected the content of his faith.
Feng Yunshan's other son, Feng Ruike, served as the commander of the pioneer battalion, and his daughter Feng Jiexin served as the captain of the health team.
While transporting them to Yangon, Mai Ke also brought a batch of weapons and equipment to these poorly equipped recruits, putting them on the same level as the other armed forces of the Heavenly Kingdom.
When they arrived outside Yangon, the troops hastily set up camp and began to make preparations for the siege of the city; Feng Yunshan was also in a high mood and wanted to make contributions here! (To be continued......
