After Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan agreed, the two rushed back to Guiping, Guangxi, and he asked his brother Hong Renxuan to take the relatives of the Hong family and other sects to Guangxi to join him. Since the decision to rebel is certain, it is certain that the imperial court will raid the family and exterminate the clan, so take it over first and prepare early to prevent accidents.

After arriving in Guangxi, Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan visited Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai successively, and successfully accepted the two into the church. Wei Changhui, who had a lot of money, donated tens of thousands of taels of silver to the church at once, and Shi Dakai led more than 4,000 Hakka people to join the church. Worshipping God will receive these two great helps, and it will be like a tiger with wings and a lot of momentum.

Then Hong Xiuquan officially recognized Yang Xiao's identity as the spokesperson of the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother in front of the congregation, and finally announced the final ranking of the God Worship Sect: Hong Xiuquan is the second character of the Heavenly Father, Feng Yunshan is the third son, Yang Xiuqing is the fourth son, Wei Changhui is the fifth son, Hong Xuanjiao is the sixth daughter, Shi Dakai is the seventh son, and Xiao Chaogui is the sixth son-in-law of God.

Hong Xiuquan took great pains, as long as Yang Xiao and the others were not inferior, their rankings were still behind him, and they had to accept the command of his leader. If Wei Changhui and the other three are brought in, they can achieve checks and balances on power, and they will not be dominant.

The personnel arrangements are in place, and what we need to do in front of the Worship of God is to actively prepare for war.

This year is destined to be an eventful year, with serious floods in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, and Hubei, and severe droughts in Guangxi and Hunan. The imperial court did not dare to slack off, the Heaven and Earth Society since Emperor Kangxi, more than 200 years has been actively opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, and was regarded as a great enemy of life and death by the imperial court.

During this period, Hong Xiuquan and everyone held continuous meetings and discussions, and successively issued five major military orders.

Order No. 1: All men are divided into camps. Many of the worship of God are joined by the whole family, in order to maintain their fighting power. Men go to the men's camp and women to the women's camp. Young and middle-aged men and women belong to the "card" and are the main force. The old man and the child belong to the "pai tail" and are the logistics army, and the teenagers who can fight but are not yet 15 years old are organized separately as "boy scouts" and belong to the reserve army, and skilled craftsmen form the "craftsmen battalion" and women who are good at needlework form the "splendid battalion" to provide military supplies for the troops.

Military Order No. 2: Establish a military system. In imitation of the "Zhou Li", the six-level establishment of the army, the army, the brigade, the division, and the army is adopted, and the army is the highest organizational unit in peacetime or in combat. A military commander is responsible for basic tasks such as training and marching and camping in peacetime. On the other hand, the operational command of the battlefield is also based on the dispatch and command of the supervising army, and the operational command system is composed of the supervising army, the army commander, the division commander, and the two horses, and the logistics supply system is formed by the various warlords and their subordinate officers and bureaucrats whose positions are equal to those of the supervising army.

The specific establishment and personnel structure of an army are as follows: five people are in force, and the commander of the army is in charge; Five Wu is two, and two Sima are unified; Four taels are pawns, and they are unified by the chief of pawns, and there are subordinate officials at the beginning of the pawns, and there are one hundred and four people in one pawn; The five soldiers are brigades, and there are brigade commanders, and the first brigade has five hundred and twenty-five people; The fifth brigade is a division, with a division commander, and the first division has a total of 2,630 people; The five divisions were set up, with a total of 15,156 troops.

Set up military flags, and generals above two Sima have special military flags. Take the first army as an example, there is one flag of the army commander, five flags of the division commander, 25 flags of the brigade commander, and so on.

Waist tag and number coat, waist card tied around the waist, with the name written on it, for close identification, the number of the shirt with yellow as the background color, the color of the border represents different troop numbers.

Military Order No. 3: Strict Discipline. 1. Abide by discipline; 2. Separate camps for men and women; 3. Don't commit any crimes; Fourth, share weal and woe, obey the command; Fifth, work together and do not escape from the battle.

Military Order No. 4: Grow your hair and change your clothes. Grow your hair, untie your braids, coil them on your head, and change your clothes into a uniform of the Worship of God.

Military Order No. 5: Establish the Holy Treasury. All the congregants sold their property, converted it into silver taels, and handed it over to the holy treasury for unified management, and those who had private treasures were killed; The needs of all people are distributed by the Holy Treasury, and everyone is guaranteed.

These five military orders are all aimed at improving the combat effectiveness of the troops, that is, to transform these peasants, who have never been on the battlefield and can only plough the fields and burn charcoal, into heavenly soldiers and generals who can fight well.

Yang Xiaoshan has been in this era for several months, and as an atheist, he instinctively resists religion, always feeling that it is something that fools people. In particular, this kind of worship of God, because the level of leadership and culture is not high, gives people the feeling that it is more like a second-class peddler, under the banner of Western God, talking about what is said on the Chinese stage, which is quite a combination of Chinese and Western.

But Yang Xiaoshan really understands that the poor need such spiritual food too much, so they are almost "skinned and eaten meat" by the imperial court, working hard from morning to night, in exchange for not even being able to support themselves. Then why endure and hope to exchange the suffering of this life for the blessings of the next life, why not use your own hands to break this inequality now and earn a heavenly life for yourself? At this point, Yang Xiaoshan felt that the worship of God was more humane than Western Christianity, so why should he endure it anymore?

Autumn is falling, and the rice is ripe. The green of Bauhinia Mountain also began to fade gradually, and Yang Xiaoshan stood outside the women's camp, waiting for Su Qiaomei to come out of the camp. Su Qiaomei was gradually plumped by herself, and she didn't have the shadow of the "thin monkey" back then, and she couldn't hide it in the men's camp, so she found Shi Dakai's wife Sanniang and put Su Qiaomei in the name of her cousin in the splendid camp. Recently, military discipline has become stricter, and men and women, even if they are husband and wife, can only see each other once a week. He and Qiaomei haven't seen each other for a long time.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?" Su Qiaomei came in a hurry, her clothes were neatly packed, a pair of pointed embroidered shoes, and a hairpin that she gave her on her head, which could be seen to have been dressed up with heart.

"No, you're beautiful today." Qiaomei's skin is getting fairer and fairer, her breasts are swelling day by day, her body has grown, and now she has changed into women's clothes, which is becoming more and more feminine.

"Why... Qiao Mei's face flushed, "Brother Xiaoshan, you are getting taller and taller, I can only reach the tip of your nose now." ”

Perhaps because of the advantage of post-development, Yang Xiaoshan is indeed two or three inches taller than the average adult man now. He is now Yang Xiuqing's personal soldier, and his treatment is better than that of ordinary people, he is well fed and warmly dressed, and his body is naturally taller and stronger, and no one treats him as a child now.

"I heard that Leader Yang (Yang Xiuqing) asked you to be a brigade commander, but you refused?" Su Qiaomei wondered.

"Yes, he proposed that I, Li Kaifang, and Lin Fengxiang be the brigade commanders at the meeting, but I refused. Your brother and I are really not materials for war. "Yang Xiaoshan has his own considerations, two heavenly kings died in the early days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which shows the cruelty of the war, and it is not a good thing for this official to do more. Especially if he really doesn't know how to fight, he couldn't walk well when he was training in the military in his previous life, so let him go to the battlefield to fight, and there is a great chance of giving away his life. "Isn't it disappointing?"

"No, I'll be more worried if you go to war." Su Qiaomei stroked her long green silk with her hand and lowered her head embarrassedly. She is almost fifteen years old, which is the age when love first blossoms. Brother Xiaoshan is becoming more and more heroic now, not only is he getting taller and taller, but his status in the church is getting higher and higher, and the sisters in the church also say that he is smart and promising, but what about himself, he is still that stupid little girl, how can I be worthy of him?

"Qiaomei!" Yang Xiaoshan suddenly hugged Qiao Mei and took her into his arms, "When I'm done with this while, when Leader Yang is empty, I'll go and tell him and let him be our witness." Yang Xiaoshan felt that he should give Qiao Mei an explanation, Qiao Mei was gentle and well-behaved, delicate and upright, she had been with herself for so long, and she was wholeheartedly good to herself, where to find such a girl?

"Brother Xiaoshan... The sudden huge surprise made Qiao Mei blush, and buried her face in Xiaoshan's arms, she had waited too long for this sentence.

Yang Xiaoshan touched the hairpin that Qiao Mei brought, "When I get married, I must give you the golden one." ”

hugged for a long time, afraid of being seen by outsiders, so the two separated. On the edge of the rhinoceros pond, walking and talking all the way, it seems that there is a lifetime of endless words.

More than a dozen iron furnaces were opened in Wei Changhui's workshop by the Rhino Pond, and he hired more than 100 blacksmiths to work day and night. Externally, it is said to be building farm tools, but in fact, it is to build weapons, and the built weapons are hidden in the deep water of the rhinoceros pond and used when preparing for an incident, which is only known to a few core members of the sect, including Yang Xiaoshan.

During the conversation, Yang Xiaoshan raised his eyes and saw that the smoke from the iron furnace was getting less and less, and he was afraid that everything was almost ready, "Maybe something is going to happen in the next few days." Yang Xiaoshan thought silently in his heart.
