Chapter 162: Another Heavenly Army
This Yang Xiuqing has always had ambitions, and when he was poor, he was helpless, so he had to suppress this thought; he suddenly inherited his uncle's property, and this ambition popped up from time to time.
He barely suppressed the excitement in his heart, prepared a sumptuous dinner to entertain the guests, and the banquet was also a cup of glass, and the guests and hosts enjoyed themselves. This Yang Xiuqing can be regarded as a person who can forbear, and he didn't mention anything about auspicious signs during the meal.
After dinner, the two sat opposite each other, Yang Xiuqing could no longer bear it, and solemnly said to the scholar: "Sir teach me! How can I achieve the things pointed to by the auspicious omen? If there is an achievement, the glory and wealth will be shared with the sir!"
Yang Xiutian didn't shirk it, and took the opportunity to guide him to think about the worship of God and the future kingdom of heaven. This local tyrant, who had just turned into a landlord, was definitely the object of his struggle, so he was no stranger to the religion.
However, he really didn't take it seriously before, thinking that those disciples were similar to the monks of Huayuan, but they were just eyeing his money. Xiuqing used to be poor and afraid, and he was very concerned about his property, where would it be so easy to comply?
So no less than ten people who came to talk about the items came back with curls, and even ate the closed door. Hu Yihuang, who is related to him, has also tried, but there is no progress either. The two also had a froze and never interacted again.
"Brother Yang, there is a golden strip in front of you, it depends on whether you are determined to go. Yang Xiutian thought about it for a while, and decided to get straight to the point and go straight to the point.
"What avenue?" Yang Xiuqing asked urgently.
"It's to join the worship of God. I don't know if you've heard of it, and if you do. ”
Of course I've heard of it, and I've heard it so many times that my ears are calloused. They're all paupers, but what kind of Cotai Strip is it? Poor Boulevard is pretty much the same. The upstart spoke with disdain.
For example, Liu Bang defeated Xiang Yu, Xiang Yu occupied all the rich areas, while Liu Bang only had a foothold in remote areas.
"It's too far away, let's not talk about it for the time being, look at the near. Ming Taizu started from scratch and drove the Yuan Dynasty away, how rich was the Yuan Dynasty? The wealth of the whole world was robbed by them.
"And the Manchu Qing Dynasty is not the same, you see how poor the Northeast is, and it is stunned that the Ming Dynasty, which owns the entire Central Plains, has been defeated.
"Yes, Brother Yang has a little money, but your money is nothing compared to the Manchu Qing Dynasty. If you're going to help worship God, you're the one who has the most to contribute. In the future, who can compare to Brother Yang in terms of meritorious deeds?"
As he spoke, he observed Yang Xiuqing, and this listener listened so attentively! It turned out that this person had a shrewd mind about current affairs, but he knew almost nothing about history. As soon as these in-depth historical experiences were told to him, he suddenly woke up from a dream and gained a new understanding of the comparison between the rich and the poor.
But he thought again, if we want to fight against the Manchu Qing Dynasty, the difference in strength is too much, right? Not to mention the whole country, even a county, we are not an opponent. Not to mention the gentry's own armament, such as regimental training or something.
He brought that concern to the fore.
Yang Xiutian was relatively well prepared for this question, and his concerns were dispelled in a few words: "This Manchu Qing Dynasty has already done something strong from the outside. Now they rely on the Han people to defend and rely on the Han people to feed. As long as we take the lead, all the Han people will not respond en masse? Now these Manchu people who only know how to eat, drink and have fun are no longer the Manchu ancestors before entering the customs. ”
But even if I agree to spend it, I have to spend it in the most important places, and I can't give it to whoever wants it. What is at stake in this worship of God that it is worth staking all my possessions?
Thinking of this, he stood up, bowed again, and said, "Thank you, sir, for your teachings, I have changed my mind now." Once I have a precise goal, I will definitely do my best to support it, even if it is bankrupt. But what kind of worship of God is worth my devotion to? What is the benefit of this worship of God? Please teach me. ”
This time he is a little blind. If the younger brother Mai Ke was there, he would have answered without much effort, but unfortunately he could not do it, although he also knew some general knowledge of the Christian faith, but he did not know the content of the thorough, comprehensive, and profound faith. He couldn't help but regret a little that he didn't ask his younger brother for more relevant knowledge.
As a last resort, he had no choice but to interpret according to his own understanding, saying that God protects his believers, and these believers are his worshippers. Therefore, when you enter the worship of God, you have God's protection and will not be harmed by others.
Not only are they unharmed, but they also receive countless benefits. Why do we give benefits to believers? Because God listens to the prayers of believers, and believers only ask for them, and they receive them.
As he spoke, Yang Xiutian himself was about to be moved. This listener already had a kind of trust in this scholar, because this qiē began with his explanation of the auspicious signs of the Four Sui Jiahe, and when he said this, it was really a symptom, and what he needed was a God who could protect him and respond to his requests. When others say it, he won't believe it at all, but Hugh's false gospel makes him believe it out of ten.
Then Xiu Tian, who pretended to be a scholar, was hired as a military advisor by this new-minded gentleman, known as the account office, and specially gave him advice and made advance preparations, so that as soon as the time came, he would take advantage of the situation.
Since Yang Xiuqing is a big landowner, he can also follow the example of others to apply for group training. This was the first move agreed upon by the two. The preparation of military force is the most critical preparation, of course Yang Xiuqing understands, so he opened up the relationship with the county magistrate, saying that he wants to protect the family and the people, and guard the territory of a county. The county magistrate was very happy, greatly encouraged and praised him, and without paying attention, he approved a full 3,000 places, making this regimental training the largest local armed force in the county.
With the quota, we began to recruit strong farmers to join the group training. The purpose of this team is not to eat empty salaries, but to rely on and have family resources for future troubles, so the selection is very strict, and all of them are young and middle-aged peasants between the ages of 20 and 35.
In order to recruit high-quality soldiers, Yang Xiuqing paid them at any cost! The monthly salary of each person was twice that of the regular army of the imperial court. This trick provided a rich foundation for recruiting high-quality soldiers, and villagers from near and far came to enlist, and even attracted some soldiers on active duty, so the strict selection did not affect the speed of the regiment's training in full capacity.
That's not all, it's not long before there are people who can be officers!
