Zhu Jinglun has been in a very good mood these days, not only because he has received these craftsmen worth thousands of gold, not only because he has ambushed an upcoming good show, but because on the other side of the Yangtze River, the Hunan army sailors on the other side have been nesting in Pukou and have not moved, and because the Hunan army in the surrounding trenches has not tried to approach the Ming army. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

The reason Zhu Jinglun already knew, so he was very happy, because the Hunan army was also on the verge of collapse, this army that was only characterized by high salaries and tough battles, when the military salaries were cut off, there was no fighting spirit at all, so after fighting with these Hunan troops once, the officers would think that these Hunan troops were not as good as Jiang Yili's miscellaneous Hunan army.

The news was obtained through the interrogation of the Hunan prisoners, and more than 200 warships of the Hunan army were sunk that day, and many survivors survived later, but at that time Chen Ada did not even think about capturing the prisoners, it was a few prisoners who swam to the river bank on the side of the Taiping army in a daze, or they may have floated over, and then they became prisoners.

The captives did not keep Zeng Guofan's secret, they said that they had not received their salaries for five months, and there were many sick soldiers in the army, which meant that the morale of the army was very unstable, and the sailors also confessed that there were even mutinies among the Hunan infantry.

This is consistent with the information that Zhu Jinglun read in later generations, the Hunan army besieged Tianjing for more than two years, and they could not attack the city, and their morale was also very low in the later period, otherwise Tianjing is such a huge city, Li Xiucheng could not defend it with 3,000 people anyway, the only reason is that the Hunan army could not attack it.

Knowing that the situation of the Hunan army is so bad now, Zhu Jinglun doesn't have to worry, he even decided that when the good show is over, he will return to Guangdong immediately, there is no need for him to sit in charge in person, even if he leaves, the Taiping army and the Ming army are suspicious, then the suspicion will go, Zhu Jinglun is very sure that once there is a supply, the Taiping army will quickly recover its morale, not to mention that they will soon be able to eat a spiritual atomic bomb, and it will suddenly explode a small universe, and then the Taiping army alone will be enough for the Hunan army to drink a pot, His own army beat the side drum on the side, put a few cannons, and then smash the siege of Tianjing, and then watched Li Xiucheng, who was resurrected with full blood, kill all sides again, and go to Jiangsu and Zhejiang to fight with Zuo Zongtang and Li Hongzhang, who picked up cheap.

Once the Taiping Army recovers, reopens the situation, and wants to suppress them, there is no one who should not think about it for a year or two, and after a year or two, it will not be Zhu Jinglun who is worried about the Xiang Army, but the Hunan Army should worry about Zhu Jinglun.

was able to win a game against Zeng Guofan's brothers, which made Zhu Jinglun very happy.

But the show still has to be watched, on June 7, the seventh day after Hong Xiuquan's death, according to the nursery rhyme in Tianjing City, he will go down to earth again today, come back from the dead, and the whole city is waiting for the result.

At least half of them are looking forward to it, because they have believed in the past that most of the people in the city are soldiers, and they are the most popular group in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and those craftsmen may not believe it very much, so when the fleet of unloading grain left yesterday, Zhu Jinglun asked them to stuff tens of thousands of people to leave, and they took the women and children first, not afraid that these men would not follow Zhu Jinglun.

Li Xiucheng and other military officers and senior civil and military officials, a small half may not believe it, many of them started with Hong Xiuquan, too understand what the hell it is, but more than half of the officials believe, at least expectation, the reason is very simple, is because they followed Hong Xiuquan earlier, and even many high-ranking officials were the first batch of believers when Hong Xiuquan was preaching, they believed at that time, and believed for more than ten years, so the officials either did not believe it, or they were superstitious, and the differentiation was serious.

The only thing they don't believe in is that group of missionaries, they only regard Hong Xiuquan's resurrection as a fun and a joke these days, how is it possible, Jesus came back to life in three days, that is to prove to the believers, his resurrection, as a result, Christianity quickly developed and grew, but Hong Xiuquan has this ability?

The missionaries are all firm believers, and there is even fanatical superstition in everyone's heart, otherwise they will come to China to preach after eating too much, and they are also relatively upper-class in Europe, and they are very respected, Lin Lezhi later returned to China for a short time, and US President Theodore Roosevelt also personally received him, and then he returned to China again, and never went back.

In the past, Lin Lezhi always had illusions about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so he came to Tianjing very actively, and also brought missionaries from various countries who preached with him, but when he arrived in Tianjing, he was really disappointed.

He had seen a lot of Tianjing people, mainly soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and a considerable number of these soldiers believed in God, but Lin Lezhi really couldn't connect the beliefs of these people with Christianity or Catholicism, because the reason why these people believed in the existence of a God was because they felt that Hong Xiuquan was God's second son.

Lin Lezhi didn't know how to describe this religion, he wasn't Christian, let alone Catholic, and even he didn't think it could be considered a religion, he didn't know what it was. He has been a missionary in China for many years, he knows too well how difficult it is to let a Chinese accept God, accept God as the only true God, deny those false gods who are too old and the like, he has seen too many believers, even if they have been baptized, devout believers who worship God, on the one hand, they may pray very sincerely, very seriously repent, but when they turn back, they will return to the temple to burn incense, they will kowtow to the Bodhisattva, and do not let the Chinese worship their ancestors, which is something that missionaries dare not think, that means that it will be regarded as a heresy, as long as they dare to say, Some people will dare to throw stones at you.

But these people in the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom, they smashed the Temple of Confucius, the Temple of Laojun, the Temple of the Jade Emperor, and the temples of countless Bodhisattvas Jialan, only preaching the existence of God, and they succeeded, but they completely misinterpreted the meaning of God. Lin Lezhi has read the books published in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the most popular one is called "Advice to the World", which was written by a disciple named Liang Fa, and the missionary Richmond, who died in Shanghai a few years ago, wrote a short biography of Liang Fa, who wrote about Liang Fa, who was the earliest local pastor in China.

In China, Lin Lezhi has also read this book of persuasion written by Liang Fa countless times, and the core content of it is Christian thought, which is beyond doubt, but why a book of Christian books that persuade people to be good will cultivate such a freak as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Lin Lezhi is really puzzled, he can only understand it as a test given to them by God, otherwise it will be too easy to preach in China.

They were very patient, and they went to tell the soldiers of the Taiping army one by one, to tell them the true content of the Bible, to tell them what the true gospel of God was, to tell them that heaven is not on earth, that heaven cannot be established on earth, and that they can only go to heaven after death.

However, their words alerted the soldiers, and even reported them to the officers, and several officers even led people to seal up their residences, and searched the boxes of Bibles they had brought, saying that they were forbidden books, and it was really inexplicable irony that the Bible was banned in a country like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which worshiped God.

In order to keep these Bibles, they almost had a physical altercation with the soldiers of the Taiping Army, fortunately no one was injured, but it also made them very frustrated, some people have already retreated, but Lin Lezhi encouraged them to stay, fortunately they urgently set up a field hospital in the past few days, to treat the wounds of the wounded soldiers, and even the infected soldiers, the four show girls they brought, all died professional nurses, they are very good at dealing with these, a missionary is still studying medicine, it is because of this use, so they were not driven away.

They operated on many of the wounded, who had a lot of sores because they had not been treated before, and their condition was already very bad, and they had to be treated by surgery.

They also bought a lot of grain from the Ming army outside the city at a high price, which was a good thing, but they were very closely watched by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and they had already sent many people to follow them, probably because they were worried that they would buy the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and what was even more ridiculous was that it was originally to relieve the food of these soldiers and wounded soldiers, but they had to send money back to the guards guarding the city to transport it in.

Fortunately, the high-ranking officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were busy dealing with the aftermath of their Heavenly King, and they still had more room to move, at least they could preach to the wounded who had been rescued and make a mass for the wounded soldiers who died of illness, hoping that their souls would rest in peace and that they would find the right faith in the Kingdom of Heaven.

Lin Lezhi believes that as long as they persevere, sooner or later they will be able to open the hearts of these soldiers, at least these people are much stronger than ordinary people, at least they only believe in God, instead of listening to the preaching, and ask a foolish question such as Guanyin Bodhisattva or God's great power.

I don't know how many wounded soldiers have been treated, and this soldier has not been able to save him, and a few missionaries have finished singing hymns to the dead soldiers, and there is a moment of silence, and a cross has been drawn, when suddenly a noisy voice outside sounds.

A soldier of the Taiping Army wearing a yellow turban looked like crazy, carrying a gong, running wildly, striking the gong violently, and shouting excitedly:

"The King of Heaven has come back to life!"

"The King of Heaven has come back to life!"

"The King of Heaven has come back to life!"

The soldiers who heard the gong were also happy, and many people cheered and ran, running towards the Heavenly Palace.

When Lin Lotian and the others heard this, their first reaction was impossible, they personally baptized Hong Xiuquan, knowing that the person was already dead and could not die anymore, and even they could ask how he could come back to life with some rancid breath on his body, and the second reaction was that this was a trick played by the Chinese, and they must have used a substitute to deceive these poor people.

Immediately the missionaries were furious, feeling that their pious faith had been blasphemed, and that this superstitious propaganda using God and the Son was completely ruining the reputation of Christ, and they consulted with each other, and felt that at this time they must stand up and defend the honor of the Son, and they wanted to expose the tricks of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in public, and expose their ugly methods of deceiving the people, so that everyone could understand their faces.

At this time, they did not consider the consequences of doing so, but with a tragic mood, including the four nuns, they followed them and ran towards the Heavenly King's Palace with the flow of people. (To be continued.) )
