How the fire in the Old Summer Palace happened, there is no way to know, but Gui Liang, the governor of Zhili, is Yi? 's father-in-law, the Old Summer Palace was ransacked, he definitely couldn't escape being punished heavily, Chen Fuen, Zhou Peizu, Seng Lingqin and others who were in Beijing at the time, and Su and Yi? is friendly, so the reason for this is inevitably reverie.
Fortunately, Zhang Yuntian had already mastered the internal and external structure and layout of the entire Old Summer Palace, and even extracted DNA samples of the exotic flowers and plants inside before leaving, otherwise the destruction of such a famous garden would definitely cause huge losses in the entire history of human civilization.
As for the terms of the loss of power and humiliation signed between the Qing court and Britain and France, the huge amount of silver in compensation and the large area of land ceded to Russia, Zhang Yuntian doesn't care at all now, if you dare to take it, I will dare to rob it, and I will definitely make you pay it back!
At this time, he had already led more than 100 people out day and night, still disguised as a caravan all the way to the south, and returned to the Daimyo's mansion.
Although the garrison of the capital at that time was empty, after all, this was the home of Emperor Xianfeng, if you want to do something here, nearly 150,000 Qing troops in the surrounding provinces will definitely raise troops to help, so not only can not completely eradicate the Qing court, but will expose yourself prematurely and become the target of the public, which is not conducive to the development of the later period.
What's more, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Twist Army are making trouble in the south, if the Qing court then transfers all the troops to Zhili, of course they will benefit from it, from the perspective of fighting for hegemony in the world, these people will sooner or later become their own enemies, so it is absolutely impossible to do such a thing as making wedding dresses for others.
When Zhang Yuntian returned to the cottage again after nearly a month, Qian Jiang had been waiting in the village for many days, and when he saw Zhang Yuntian returning triumphantly, he hurriedly greeted him from the lobby to the door with a smile and gave him up to the main seat.
Afterwards, Qian Jiang knelt on his knees, bowed down and said, "Meet the true God!" ”
Seeing this, Zhang Yuntian hurriedly got up and helped Qian Jiang up with both hands, and said with a smile: "We haven't done anything yet, no matter how good we are, we are all friends, and the military advisor's move can break me!" ”
Qian Jiang bowed to the ground and bowed two more times, then stood up again, and said: "The true god will practice his word, and he is like a god, and this Jiang will worship it; The true god defeated the British and French coalition forces, so that hundreds of thousands of people in the capital were saved from the ravages of foreigners. It is only natural for the true God to bow down to mortals, and these three bows are also! ”
Seeing that Qian Jiang said sincerely, Zhang Yuntian was moved in his heart, pressed him back to his seat, and then asked:
"Now that the matter of the foreigners has been resolved, they will not dare to attack again in the short term, and then the Qing court will free up its hands to encircle and suppress the Taiping army with all its might, and our side will have to speed up the action, I don't know how the progress of the military division is?"
Qian Jiang said proudly: "Thanks to the true god Hongfu, the progress is a qiē shun lì, with the divine water given by the true god, no matter how difficult and miscellaneous diseases, as long as the divine water arrives, it will be eradicated immediately, and now Shandong and Henan provinces have set up a total of 15 sects, and the congregation has exceeded 8,000 people, and a total of more than 30,000 taels of silver have been raised!" At the same time, the prophecy of the true god to break the foreigners has been fulfilled, and I believe that more and more people and gentry will join the true god religion in various places! ”
As he spoke, he took out more than a dozen booklets with dense small characters and handed them to Zhang Yuntian, "These are the records of silver donations, as well as the roster of the backbone members of the sect!" ”
In three or four months, with Qian Jiang and a dozen of his subordinates, he was able to accommodate 8,000 sect members, although it is said that there is also the credit of gene reset virus and disease-eating probiotics, but the average speed of absorbing more than 2,000 people per month can definitely be regarded as a god speed.
"These things are troublesome to the labor division!" Zhang Yuntian simply flipped through a few pages, and then put them aside, "According to our current development speed, how long will it take to do something!" ”
Qian Jiang thought for a while and said, "Two years soon, three or five years at most!" ”
Zhang Yuntian frowned, "It's been too long, a year at most!" ”
"A year!?" Qian Jiang's eyes widened, and he looked at Zhang Yuntian incredulously, "If a year's time is used to preach, with the ability of Shenshui to cure diseases and save people, this religion may cover the north and south of the river, but it may not be deep-rooted!" This is secondly, we can deepen our influence on the congregation while raising righteousness, and the most important thing is money! At present, we only adopt the method of voluntary donation of silver to the congregation, so the donation of silver can be more or less, and it is impossible to control it. What's more, fighting a war requires a lot of blades, grain and grass, which are by no means enough overnight! So I hope the true God thinks twice! ”
Although Qianjiang's strategy is conservative, it is steady and effective, victory is a big victory, and there is room for maneuver in defeat, but he is not a saint and cannot predict the future changes in the situation.
Now Zeng Guofan's Hunan army has grown stronger day by day, and Li Hongzhang's Huai army is about to shine on the battlefield in the future, especially two years later, when he was transferred to the post of governor of Jiangsu, when the Huai army under his command has increased from more than 6,000 to 60,000 to 60,000 or 70,000, becoming a well-equipped and strong local armed force in the Qing army.
Not only that, but after three years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be completely shattered, and the Twist Army will be isolated and in trouble.
Therefore, by the time he was "ready", not only did the forces that contain the Qing court decrease, but also through the Guò Westernization Movement, the Qing army would be stronger and stronger.
"According to my Fu Ping (the meaning of divination), in the next ten years, only next autumn will be able to raise troops!" Zhang Yuntian said as he pretended to pinch his fingers, "The Qing Demon is flourishing, the Taiping Army is declining, and it is only three or four years of luck!" ”
Qian Jiang had seen Zhang Yuntian's ability to prophesy, so he was convinced at this time, he thought for a while, and asked, "I don't know how much divine water the true god still has, and whether the amount is sufficient?" ”
"Of course it's enough, you can have as much as you want!"
Qian Jiang's eyes lit up, and he clapped his hands and said: "In this way, it will be easy to do, we might as well follow the example of the foreigners, and select fifty people with good appearance, eloquence, and good conduct from among the believers, as missionaries, and let them personally come forward to train them, and within three months, they will be able to be competent to spread the gospel and establish their prestige!" In the next few talents, it is still possible to find 8,000 believers on their own, and with the help of the true god's heavenly might, these 50 missionaries will be able to complete the work with half the effort! ”
"As for the matter of money and food..."Qian Jiang looked embarrassed, "We spread the gospel of the true God, in order to gather the congregation, we all let believers donate money at will, and it is more or less inconclusive, so..."
Zhang Yuntian smiled and comforted: "I thought it was a difficult matter, as long as the military advisor can gather the sect people, I will respond to everything in the future, and I will have my own way to solve it!" ”
