Generally speaking, whether it is an uprising or a crusade, after the uprising, we must denounce the ugliness of those in power to the people of the world, show our justice, and win the hearts of the people, which is the role of the text. The most famous inscription is the "Discussion of Wu Cao" drafted by Luo Bin Wang in the early Tang Dynasty, and even the scolded Wu Zetian praised this inscription for being well written.

Fortunately, these essays are not so high, and the words are almost colloquial, and Yang Xiaoshan can barely understand them. However, after reading it, Yang Xiaoshan still frowned, looking not very satisfied.

"What? Poorly written? Yang Xiuqing saw Xiaoshan's strangeness.

"Oh, no. These essays are still very well written, but they 。。。。。。 Yang Xiaoshan wanted to speak and stopped.

"Just what? Xiaoshan, you don't hurt to say it. Yang Xiuqing hurriedly said.

"It's just that the text we released is for the people of the world to read, but there are a lot of religious words in the text, I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Since we want to call on the people of the world to oppose the Qing Dynasty, it is natural to denounce the ugliness of the Qing court, emphasize the distinction between Huayi, and stimulate the national heart of our Han people. Try not to appear God, church and other words, father, you also know that people are very repulsive to religion, so we should try not to mention it in the text. Yang Xiaoshan didn't dare to say this in front of others, but Yang Xiuqing had told him that he was a very flexible pragmatist, so Yang Xiaoshan dared to say these words.

"You're right, that's the truth. Not only the scholars, but also the people of the Heaven and Earth Society do not like religion, so we should mention more anti-Manchu and less religion. This king asked Wenguang to change it again. Yang Xiuqing nodded and agreed with Xiaoshan's suggestion.

Then Yang Xiuqing said: "In the past few days, a small official in Daozhou has defected to my heavenly kingdom. He knows where Zuo Zongtang lives, and he also told me about Zuo, I will send him to your side later, and you can start recruiting this person as soon as possible, my heavenly kingdom is too short of cultured people. ”

=========================

Bidding farewell to the East King, Xiaoshan immediately set out to visit Zuo Zongtang. Under the leadership of the officials, Yang Xiaoshan led Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng and a small team of people to Liuzhuang, where Zuo Zongtang lived.

This willow village is on a mountainside in Daozhou, although it is not very far, but the hard work of climbing the mountain is inevitable. Chen Yucheng was the first to complain: "This surnamed Zuo is just a scholar of Bai Ding, as for working so hard to mobilize the public, let the prince personally invite him?" ”

"Yucheng, don't say that. Although we are still fighting the country, sooner or later we will still have to sit on the country, and this country will not be able to solve the problem by fighting and killing, and the kingdom of heaven will still rely on scholars to govern the country. Yucheng, you are good at everything, but you are illiterate, you have to learn from Xiucheng when you have time, and knowing more words will be very helpful for your future development. Yang Xiaoshan said earnestly.

"I heard the little official say that this left-hand man was 20 years old when he was lifted to the people, but his career was not smooth, and he failed to take the exam in Beijing three times, so he was disheartened and studied on this mountain." Li Xiucheng admires Zuo Zongtang very much, after all, for scholars, Zhongju is already a very glorious thing.

"As long as you are studying, you want to embark on the road of governing the world through the imperial examination. Zuo Juren has repeatedly failed the exam, but I guess he still has a heart leading to an official career, as long as we lower our posture and sincerely invite him, the chance of inviting him is still very high. "Yang Xiaoshan is still very confident, others don't know who Zuo Zongtang is, but they know it. At present, Zuo Zongtang is still just a white ding, no matter what conditions he prescribes, he will agree to come down first. If you want money for money, if you want an official for an official, if you want a woman, you have to give special approval to the king of the east.

"It's just ahead." The little official who led the team in front reminded.

But the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and Zuo Zongtang's residence in Liuzhuang was empty, as if he had moved.

"Fellow, does this Zuo Ju live here?" Yang Xiaoshan hurriedly asked an old man who was herding sheep here.

The old man lowered his head and drove a flock of goats, and his eyes did not seem to be very good, and he did not raise his head, and replied, "Longhair is coming, and some of the families here have moved away." After speaking, he raised his head, and when he saw the dress of Xiaoshan and his group, he was so frightened that he hurriedly shouted: "Oh my God, you can't just be long-haired." ”

"You!" Chen Yucheng was a little angry, and then he was about to reprimand angrily.

"Don't be afraid, fellow villagers, we are the Taiping Army, and we don't make it difficult for the poor. This is five taels of silver, if Zuo Juren comes back, please tell him, just say that the prince of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is coming to visit and ask him to come out of the mountain to help. If he doesn't want to come, you can go down the hill and find us, and we'll come again. Yang Xiaoshan took out a piece of silver and put it in the old man's hand.

The old man was overjoyed, this was really a big windfall, and thanked him repeatedly: "It must be, I must tell Zuo Juren, you can rest assured, Master Jun." ”

didn't meet Zuo Zongtang, everyone was a little discouraged, and the speed of going down the mountain was not as fast as coming up the mountain.

"Back then, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang to come out of the mountain and look at the thatched house, we are only once, so we don't have to be discouraged." Yang Xiaoshan comforted.

"Three more times? It's too much to give him face. Chen Yucheng said incredulously.

"Just the three words of Zuo Zongtang are worth it." Yang Xiaoshan said silently in his heart.

After going down the mountain, everyone walked along the main road to Daozhou City.

A cry for mercy caught everyone's attention.

"Master Jun, this is our hard-earned money, and we are also going to Daozhou to join the Taiping Army." More than a dozen people dressed as miners were surrounded by dozens of men in short shirts with short knives.

"Lao Tzu is the Taiping Army, don't talk nonsense, hand over the money and spare you from dying." The short-shirted people looked like a group of bandits, but they wrapped their hair in red cloth, which looked a bit like the Taiping Army's hair and headscarf.

"Daring, which army are you? When will our Taiping Army start to rob and pull! Without waiting for Xiaoshan to speak, Chen Yucheng's lungs exploded, and he rushed over and scolded angrily.

The group of short-shirted people saw that Yang Xiaoshan and the others were neat and tidy, and they were full of murderous spirit, knowing that they had met a master who was not easy to mess with, so they hurriedly smiled angrily, "Don't get me wrong, your own people, your own people." We are the Huiyi Hall of Heaven and Earth, we have just joined the Taiping Army, our boss asked us to go to Daozhou to gather, this is not a coincidence of passing by, these are all homeless people, by the way to make some money to spend. The little boss who was not smiling hurriedly explained.

"Tie it up! Leave it to the East King to dispose of! When Yang Xiaoshan heard what he said, he was also really angry, what kind of joke, isn't this a signboard for smashing the Taiping Army! If it was really his own people, he would have already started to enforce military law, considering that these people were new to the team, and took care of the reaction of the Heaven and Earth Society. Yang Xiaoshan pressed his anger and tied up these people first, and let the East King decide what to do.

"You dare?" The little leader pointed a knife at Yang Xiaoshan, and wanted to resist.

"You're looking for death! Dare to use a knife against the son? Chen Yucheng couldn't bear it for a long time, and stepped forward to kill this little boss with a knife.

The other short-shirted men were immediately stunned, but did not dare to move, and one by one they were tied hand in hand, and they were tied together with ropes and held by the other brothers.

"Thank you, thank you." The leading miners made a series of moves.

"You're welcome, what's your name? Where are you all from? "Yang Xiaoshan and Yan Yuese,

"The villain's name is Lu Guojin, a native of Chenzhou, who makes a living by digging coal in the local area. I heard that the Taiping Army was coming, and hundreds of our brothers also wanted to join, so the villain first brought a dozen people over to explore the way. "Lu Guojin looks a little short, but his body is very strong, and he looks kind.

"Oh? Are you all miners? Will it be blasted? Yang Xiaoshan was very interested when he heard this, he fought all the way from Guangxi, Qin Rigang's miner team was almost depleted, and the blasting ability of these miners was needed to attack the city, these are the talents that the Kingdom of Heaven needs most.

"Yes, yes, we are the ones who eat this bowl of rice, and the villain is responsible for blasting." Lu Guojin hurriedly replied.

"Okay, you come with me, we are also about to go back to Daozhou, we are here, no one is rushing you." Yang Xiaoshan moved his mind to co-opt these people and wanted to arrest them in his own hands.
