Chapter XXXIV Guarantees
"What's the matter? Come and see my sister-in-law? Yang Xiaoshan deliberately teased Shi Dakai, Shi Sanniang is indeed recruiting female soldiers here.
"There is business, there is businessγγγγγγ" Shi Dakai smiled, and the brothers had always spoken very casually.
"What's the business?" Yang Xiaoshan asked.
"Wellγγγγγγγ this" Shi Dakai deliberately stopped, pulled Yang Xiaoshan to the side, and lowered his voice: "Zhang Zhao, the big head of the Heaven and Earth Society, led more than 2,000 troops to vote, and he was followed by the Heaven and Earth Society Righteous Army in some other places, and now they are outside Wuxuan County. I have a few relationships with him, so Yang Junshi sent me here to receive his team. β
Yang Xiaoshan has a good impression of the Heaven and Earth Society, in many martial arts movies and TV series in his previous life, Chen Jinnan was the chief helmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society, and he admired these heroes who opposed the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty when he was a child. "Why did they come to us? Our banner is not to oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty! β
"The situation of the rebellion of the Heaven and Earth Society is not very good, Guangdong, Guangxi, and Hunan, these Heaven and Earth Society rebels have been wiped out by the Qing Demon one after another, only we have won a few big battles here, so they came to join us." Shi Dakai explained.
Are they willing to worship God? We in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are all religious. Yang Xiaoshan asked.
"Of course, we must enter our worship of God, this is also our bottom line, we must join the religion and be baptized, and the emperor and Yang Junshi insist on this." Shi Dakai replied with certainty.
Yang Xiaoshan felt a little pimple in his heart, this Heaven and Earth Sect is all local gang organizations, these people are used to freedom, and there are more rules in the sect, I am afraid it is not so easy to follow them. Although he thought so, it was not easy to say this to Shi Da now.
Of course, Shi Dakai didn't think about this, he didn't think about it that much, he just felt very happy, because the power of the Heavenly Kingdom could grow a lot again.
"By the way, Master Yang specially explained to me, I must take you with me when I go to accept their team tonight, saying that you have a flexible brain and a lot of ideas, and it will definitely help if you go."
Yang Xiaoshan was stunned in his heart, why did Yang Xiuqing want Shi Dakai to take him? "And who's going to go?"
"There are also more than a dozen missionary disciples of Feng Junshi, who went to their team to preach and baptize them." Shi Dakai replied.
Yang Xiaoshan is a person who has more things than less things, how can this missionary matter also pull me in? But Yang Xiuqing's orders must have his intentions, and he can't disobey them, so he had to mutter: "Okay, after recruiting troops today, I will go with you in the evening." β
"Then I'll go and prepare, and we'll see you later." Shi Dakai was about to leave.
"Wait, I have to trouble my eldest brother." Yang Xiaoshan grabbed Shi Dakai.
"What's the matter? Just say! Shi Dakai said very happily.
"I just recruited two brothers here, and they want to join your team, how about it? Let's make it easier. Yang Xiaoshan beckoned the two brothers, Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian, to come over.
"See Lord Stone." The two brothers understood, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute Shi Dakai.
"You're welcome, since you were introduced by Brother Yang, let's go to my camp to get a captain." Shi Da laughed.
The two brothers, Li Xiucheng and Li Shixian, were very happy when they heard it, and they immediately had a military position when they came up, which was a very good start.
"Captain Caiwu?" Yang Xiaoshan seemed to be quite dissatisfied, and deliberately lengthened his voice.
Shi Dakai looked at Yang Xiaoshan and gritted his teeth, "Then two Simas." This is the highest, and no military merit can be achieved no matter how upward it is, you know this. β
"I know, but what about my recommendation? I can be a vouch for both of them, and if they have any negligence in the future, I can take it all in. Yang Xiaoshan thought to himself that since he knew that Li Xiucheng would get ahead in the future, he must be satisfied with favors at this time.
"Are you sure?" Shi Dakai was taken aback, this is to vouch for his future, now the kingdom of heaven is not as good as the church at the beginning, even if it is jointly and severally responsible, then the punishment will be taken off a layer of skin.
"Someone is a guarantor, and this military position can be given to the commander." Yang Xiaoshan didn't answer, but asked rhetorically.
"It's true, but I don't understand, you're so optimistic about the two of them?" Shi Dakai couldn't understand Yang Xiaoshan more and more, and he had the impression that he was not a person who was willing to take risks.
"Lord Xie Yang, we are already very satisfied that we can vote under the camp of the stone master, and we have received the great kindness of my lord." Li Xiucheng hurriedly came over and thanked Yang Xiaoshan.
"Since I recruited you, why can't I take a fancy to you? In the future, they will all be their own brothers, don't call any adults, they are too angry. "Yang Xiaoshan thought that he could take advantage of you now, and maybe he would point to you to help me in the future.
"Since Xiaoshan said so, his brother is my brother. Follow my soldiers directly to my camp and receive the captain's waist card. Shi Dakai turned around and ordered a personal soldier to take the two to his camp.
"Then thank you Brother Shi." Yang Xiaoshan arched his hand.
"Okay, then I'll go and get busy first, remember to come to me at night, and let's go to the garrison of the Heaven and Earth Society Righteous Army together."
After sending away Shi Dakai and the Li brothers, Yang Xiaoshan sat on the table and drank tea again, thinking about it, this recruitment task was not completed. This kingdom of heaven needs a clerical officer, and he was considered "not doing his job" just now, and everyone pulled Shi Da to open it. Just as he was in trouble, someone himself came to the door.
A young man of twenty-three or fourteen years old, dressed in a white Xiucai gown, looked quite gentle. I saw him walk up to the stage and bow deeply to Yang Xiaoshan, "I have heard the prestige of the general for a long time, and I am fortunate to see it today." β
Yang Xiaoshan looked funny, and thought: "This sour show is just a sour word, you will also know me?" So he deliberately teased him and said, "Since you have heard my name for a long time, then let me ask you what my name is?" β
"This γγγγγγ" This show was just a polite remark, I didn't expect Yang Xiaoshan to ask him this, and I didn't know how to answer at once.
"Don't be nervous, I'm kidding, what's your name?" Yang Xiaoshan was afraid that he would scare this sour show away.
"Xiaomin is a native of Xiangzhou, and his surname is Lai Wenguang."
"Are you a showman? I see you're wearing a showy dress. β
"Xiaomin is indeed a talent in Xiangzhou County."
"Oh? How come a scholar like you has come to vote for our kingdom of heaven? Yang Xiaoshan asked curiously.
Lai Wenguang was a little excited, and when he talked about the past, he couldn't stop crying. It turned out that when the Church of God was in Xiangzhou, Lai Wenguang's family had donated some silver to the church. After the Worship of God incident, someone reported the matter to the government, and the Lai family had no choice but to bribe the prefect at that time with money, and the matter was over. Who knew that after Ulantai and these foreign troops came to Guangxi, they found out about these old things, and used them to blackmail Lai Wenguang's family. His family was originally just a small family, not wealthy. Ulantai demanded more money than their family could afford. The money could not be paid, so Ulantai raided their house, and the whole family was sent to the frontier. Lai Wenguang escaped such a catastrophe because he was studying abroad, and now he is also desperate to join the Taiping Army.
"Okay, you write your name here, and it's passed." Yang Xiaoshan was also quite sympathetic after hearing this, these Manchu military discipline was corrupt, and they didn't treat the Han people as human beings at all, and sooner or later they had to settle accounts with them.
"Don't you need to take the Four Books and Five Classics?" Lai Xiucai was surprised.
Yang Xiaoshan looked at him and felt funny, "This sour Xiucai still thinks that this is the imperial examination, even if you want to take the exam, I won't either." He smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom doesn't pay attention to this, just know how to write." β
"Okay, okay." Lai Wenguang picked up the brush and wrote his name very seriously.
Sure enough, he is a showman, and he writes at a much higher level, although Yang Xiaoshan doesn't write well, but he still has aesthetic ability, this Lai Wenguang's words look hard at a glance, and he can't be tested for showmanship in this era.
"Okay, you follow my guards to report to Yang Junshi's side." Yang Xiaoshan let out a sigh of relief, his task was finally completed.
