Mai Ke explained what he had to do and ended the banquet. Everyone had their own things to do, so they hurried back.

Mai Ke left Hong Xiuquan, Zhang Yuan, Hu Youlu, and Zeng Yuzhen behind, saying that he and Peter would continue to discuss things together.

Hu Youlu knew from Mai Ke that it was about training, so he called Zhu Hongying to stop.

As the leaders of the two different halls of the Hui Party, the two have now agreed to merge together and jointly participate in the anti-Qing action led by Mai Ke. According to the consensus of the "Maihu Alliance", the preparation of the 150,000 soldiers began.

As one of the key preparations, the two of them decided to hand over all the 1,200 top elites brought to participate in the operation this time to Zhang Yuan for training.

The second step of their plan was that these people could serve as centurions, and after the training was over, they could serve as the backbone and quickly mobilize the 150,000 soldiers.

The two leading bosses also divided the work. Zhu Hongying took part in training here, while Hu Youlu went back, preparing to oppose the purge on the one hand, and gathering 150,000 soldiers on the other. After he returned, his top priority was to send another 500 people to participate in the training, bringing the total number of participants to 2,000.

"That's a good idea. However, the first batch of 2,000 people did not necessarily become centurions, and their combat effectiveness was the main goal.

"As for those who are both civil and military, we will also let them participate in officer training to learn how to command operations. The expected 150,000 people will be the main combat force and will have to undergo the necessary training. ”

Seeing that so many people from the party participated in the training, Zeng Yuzhen was a little anxious, and told Mai Ke that he would also leave the 2,000 charcoal burners for training.

Mai Ke thought for a while and thought that these 2,000 people were already all their elites, and if they stayed for training at one time, their homes would be empty. He was left with only 1,200 charcoal burners, plus 500 soldiers who had just been distributed.

In this way, it was finally determined that a total of 3,400 people would participate in Zhang Yuan's first batch of large-scale training. Each of the two families sent 1,700 troops, including 500 Qing soldiers who had just surrendered.

This also happened to solve the problem that Mai Ke had been worried about: how to correctly treat these surrendered Qing soldiers. If not handled properly, it is likely to be the trigger for a crisis. What if they leave a shadow in the depths of their minds, even if they usually don't bear it, at a critical juncture?

The military improvement of these surrendered soldiers was also important, but it was far less important than the resolution of their emotional and ideological problems. Especially when it comes to the foundation of faith, it is best to take the opportunity of such intensive training to lay the ground.

When they return to their team after training, they need to be assigned a military chaplain in charge of the faith, and they also have to work part-time as inspectors of the implementation of the policy of the kingdom of heaven. In this way, from the beginning to the end, this very important national policy was brought under the management of stable dìng.

Zhang Yuan and Hong Xiuquan saw that Mai Ke was blinking an eye, and they brought the two major local forces in Guangxi under their command, so that the strength of the Heavenly Kingdom increased greatly. The Boat Gang and the 100,000 Sect were even more dominated by these two forces.

Suddenly there was a burst of cheers, and then a loud voice was clearly audible. This is the voice of Methodism, and listening to the content is evangelism.

Peter praised, "What a Methodist, he has the gift of preaching! Listen to his voice, at least a mile away." He uses a natural sound, the effect is better than a high-powered amplifier, clear and loud. ”

"Okay! We've said and said the main thing here, let's go and have a look. "Mai Keti yì.

Everyone unanimously supported it, and when everyone set off, the two ladies who had disappeared just now didn't know where they came from, and they changed into the outfit of a chivalrous woman walking the rivers and lakes, and they didn't ask for instructions, they followed a few people and left, thinking that they already knew where they were going.

Originally, it was only three miles away, but if it was Mai Ke Zhang Yuan Peter's number, it could be reached in the blink of an eye. But there are also weak people like Hong Xiuquan and Fu Shanxiang, even if Hu Youlu and them, although they have some kung fu, they are only slightly stronger than ordinary people. So everyone had to take a slow walk over.

Mai Ke, Peter, and Zhang Yuan walked together, discussing some specific arrangements for training and preparation as they walked.

After walking for a while, Mike suddenly found that Zhang Yuan's mind was not focused on the issue of discussion. A little attention, it turned out that he was being drawn to Methody's gospel message.

Willie's voice is still so clear, with a bit of American Chinese biting clearly, the tone is stern and serious, and full of passion, spreading far away.

"The patriarch Adam sinned alone, and all the world fell into sin and fell short of the glory of God. God's main purpose in creating man is to glorify God, and man lives to glorify God. As a result of sin, man can no longer glorify God, so life that can only be sustained by God's maintenance loses the necessity of survival.

Death then became the inevitable end of sinners. Everyone has sinned, and the price of sin is death. Only death can atone for sin. This is the reason why everyone in ancient and modern China and abroad has died. Death is the punishment for sin, and death is the consequence of sin.

"Jesus came into the world in the flesh, and he was God, but he took human likeness and human nature, but he never sinned. He is the only man in human history who has not sinned.

"And because he had not sinned, and was fit for the sin offering, he offered himself on the cross as a sin offering. This is exactly what Jesus did according to God's will.

God also ordained that whenever sinners confess their sins and confess Jesus as Lord, the effect of the sin offering will be applied to those who believe in Jesus. Those who believe are forgiven of their own sins.

"Believe in Jesus and have eternal life. This is God's promise. God is faithful, His Word endures forever, and His promises are fulfilled. Anyone who believes in Jesus will be blessed with eternal life by God.

"I was sent by God to preach the gospel to all the people here. Jesus died and rose again to heaven. Before he left, he sent his disciples to preach the gospel, which is the good news that I am telling you today about raising the dead.

Jesus made a point of emphasizing that whoever accepts these evangelists receives him. As we said earlier, whoever accepts Jesus trusts Him as Savior and Master of life, and is guaranteed eternal life.

"Are you not afraid, are you not sorrowful about death, come to Jesus, for in Jesus there is peace and eternal life. With the Lord there is no sorrow, and with the Lord there is no death!"

Mai Ke noticed that Zhang Yuan was already walking faster and faster, more than ten feet beyond these people. Apparently attracted to the gospel, he entered a state of self-forgetfulness.

Could it be that this most stable big brother is going to be the first to be saved by the Brotherhood? God's work is so wonderful! I thought that if the eldest brother believed in the Lord, he would be the last. Praise God!

Although Mai Ke still has a love for the eleven eldest brothers of the Brotherhood League, he always feels unreliable without the unity of faith. He had been praying earnestly for God to change them into spiritual partners.

Not far from Zhang Yuan, he was followed by two ladies. They are not trying to compete with their big brothers, but they are attracted by the gospel of God. As for the attraction of Cheng dù, it should not be far worse than Zhang, otherwise with their feminine softness, they will never run in front of others.

The last three who came out of the crowd were Hu Youlu, Zhu Hongying, and Zeng Yuzhen. Although they were not so impatient, they also unswervingly surpassed Mai Ke and others and walked towards the place where the gospel was preached.

As a result, there were only Hong Xiuquan and Peter left next to Mai Ke. When they saw this, they knew that the Holy Spirit was already at work in the hearts of the six. Today the gospel is about saving lost souls.

The voice of the Lord Jesus speaking to the apostle Peter echoed in Peter's heart: "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men." ”

He knew as well as Mai Ke that the Holy Spirit was sent by Heavenly Father and the Lord Jesus to reside in the hearts of Brother Methodist to preach the pure gospel and harvest the lost souls.

Hong Xiuquan felt the deepest. It has been more than ten years since he established the Worship of God, and even the use of drastic or occult methods has not had obvious results. To make matters worse, even if a few followers are gathered, there are many problems with the foundation of the faith.

Ever since he first met Mai Ke and Gavin, he has been constantly correcting his understanding. Gavin explained to him the true meaning of the Bible almost every day. His time was tantamount to restarting his faith journey.

Even so, when he heard Methodic's gospel sermon again, he was deeply shocked and felt that what he had done before was really ridiculous.

When I came to the place where the crowd gathered, I saw thousands of people standing in front of a high platform that had been set up improvised to listen to Methodist's sermon. Mike, Luther, and Gavin were also on stage, standing to the left and right of Methodist. Wehrie was making a call, his voice loud and penetrating.

"Do you confess that you are a sinner? Are you willing to repent? Do you believe that the Lord Jesus atoned for us on the cross when we were all sinners? Do you mean to believe in Jesus? Are you willing to accept the Lord Jesus as your Savior and bring His sacrifice as gratuitous grace to your life? Will you confess Jesus as the Master of your life and never change for the rest of your life?

"If you agree, please raise your hand and please come to the front. Raise your hands and ask the Holy Spirit to work on your own will. Okay, I see a lot of people raising their hands, okay, I see that. Come forward, please. ”

Mai Ke stood at the back of the crowd and saw that at first a few people raised their hands, then dozens of people, then hundreds of people, and finally one or two thousand people raised their hands, and then walked forward.

Mai Ke always looked at Zhang Yuan with one eye. His hand was raised as hundreds of people raised their hands. Mai Ke suddenly felt a great emotion in his heart, thanking God, my eldest brother is also a person who has been saved by God. His eyes couldn't help but burst into tears.

Then, Hu Youlu, Zeng Yuzhen, Zhu Hongying, Meng Ruofei, and Fu Shanxiang also joined the army of thousands and raised their arms.

When Peter saw that Madame had finally taken this vital step, tears could not help but flow from his two large eyes. The yoke of husband and wife is no longer unattainable.

The power of the gospel to open even the hardest shell of the heart changes the lives of sinners from within. It is the Bible that says, "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." ”

As a result of Methodic's effective ministry, the gospel changed thousands of lives, and Mai Ke couldn't help but rethink and adjust his original plan.
