Chapter 2 Meeting Shi Luo at Night

In the evening, seeing that the tails carrying the baggage were exhausted, Feng Shaoguang ordered to camp on the spot to rest. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The knife hand brought a bowl of thick porridge with a dozen pickle leaves on it, saying that it was dinner. Feng Shaoguang saw that he was the dignified king of the South, and his dinner was just porridge and pickles, so he could imagine what ordinary Heavenly Kingdom soldiers ate.

"Thank you to the Emperor God for giving me food and clothing, and thank Brother Heaven for giving me food and clothing, the Holy Spirit is always there, staying in my heart, sweeping away demons, invincible." Feng Shaoguang naturally read out the pre-meal prayer softly, and just after finishing dinner, Xie Xiang came back from outside.

He had just returned from an inspection of the mountain behind Xiangshan Temple, and secretly reported that he had found four cannons buried in the soil in the lion rock forest behind Xiangshan Temple.

"King Nan, according to Xiangcai's careful identification, it is suspected that the 4 artillery pieces belong to the batch captured after the defeat of the demon head Ulantai outside Guilin City. Guanlan still remembers that the captured artillery was fully allocated by the East King to the headquarters of the Left Battalion Division of the First Central Army. Zeng Guanlan reminded.

Feng Shaoguang sighed, was silent for a while, and said, "You can just keep this matter in mind." The four guns were also restored to their original state, and there were no signs of excavation. ”

Liang Litai, Zeng Guanlan, Xie Xiangcai, and Lu Qi, who were standing on the side, agreed immediately.

Soon, there was a messenger from the Chinese army outside the tent to pass the order of the king of heaven and the king of the east: because the Qing demon artillery of Quanzhou City injured the king of the south, all the troops camped on the spot, and returned to the outside of the city of Quanzhou tomorrow to capture the city of Quanzhou, and the Qing demon in the city did not stay to avenge the king of the south.

Feng Shaoguang sighed in his heart, he should come, he still has to come, and he can't hide. King Dongwang avenged him and ordered the siege of the city, but he could not stop it, and could only watch history continue on its original track.

The Taiping army turned back to attack Quanzhou City, and after breaking the city, it was half a month later to march to Lingyidu, and they would be greeted by Chu Yong, the Qing army who had already laid an ambush. Could it be that Lingyidu, the place where Feng Yunshan's fate ended in history, would history repeat itself and devour the lives of tens of thousands of Heavenly Kingdom soldiers' families?

Thinking of this, Feng Shaoguang gritted his teeth and asked Lu Qi to secretly go to the left army camp to invite the commander of the left army, Yi Wang, and the commander of the left second army, Luo Xuan, to come and discuss important military matters.

Zeng Guanlan saw that King Nan secretly invited King Yi and Luo Xuan overnight, and asked puzzledly: "King Nan, you have always deliberately alienated King Yi and Marshal Luo, so as not to be suspicious of King Dong. Why are you invited overnight today? ”

Feng Shaoguang sneered: "Even if I am weak and avoid suspicion, with his heart, he still wants to take my life." Why, then, am I afraid of his suspicion? If we don't plan, we won't be spared! ”

As if he was still unsatisfied, he explained: "Indeed, in order to prevent the East King from being suspicious, and at the same time to show the Heavenly King that I have no intention of controlling the military power of the Heavenly Kingdom, and I am not a threat to him, I deliberately alienated the Da Si and Luo brothers. But what did it get in exchange? Now I have thought it through, even if I go to the right to abandon the army to avoid suspicion, even if I don't ask about the affairs of heaven, as long as I live in the world, they will still be worried, and there is no possibility of stopping. ”

"I was wrong in the past. deliberately alienated the Da compatriots and a group of old brothers, and stayed away from military and political affairs, not only sorry for the Da compatriots and Luo brothers, but also sorry for the tens of thousands of brothers in the heavenly kingdom. Now, when the Kingdom of Heaven is in danger, seeing that the Kingdom of Heaven has developed step by step to where it is today, I will no longer spare my life to care about the false reputation of those respected brothers. Now, in order to take care of more brothers in the kingdom of heaven, I have to fight and fight, even if I fail in the end, I will not go through the world in vain. ”

"A good one is not in vain to walk in the world!" Someone outside the tent shouted. Then a black-faced scholar, a handsome red-robed man in his twenties, and a middle-aged man in a yellow robe with tiger-eyed eyes and a tiger-bearded waist and a burly and majestic yellow-robed man came in.

"Haha, it's Brother Da and Brother Luo who are here. For my brother, I have a heartfelt speech, but I asked you to eavesdrop! Feng Shaoguang greeted the two, stretched out his hand to stop Shi Dakai and Luo Xuan's action of wanting to salute, and put one hand around the shoulders of one of them, shaking vigorously.

Shi Dakai and Luo Xuan were infected by Feng Shaoguang's enthusiasm, and the three of them walked into the camp side by side.

Wing King Shi Dakai, nicknamed Shi Dang, Guangxi Guixian Qishi Hakka people, lost his father at an early age, eight or nine years old to support the door alone, in addition to agriculture and business, practice martial arts and cultivation of literature, at the age of thirteen has an adult demeanor, because of chivalry, often solve problems for people, the young crown is respected as "Shi Xianggong". Since Shi Dakai was 16 years old, Feng Yunshan, who was preparing to oppose the Qing Dynasty in the name of missionary work in Guangxi, visited him many times and invited him to join the association. The two often crisscrossed the world in injustices, and they had become close friends at that time.

After the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan arrived in Guangxi, Feng Yunshan introduced Shi Dakai to the Heavenly King. After the Jintian Incident, Yang Xiuqing and others did not want to promote Shi Dakai to the high position of the Shouyi King, but Shi Dakai had more people, and Feng Yunshan tried his best to fight for it, so he became the Wing King, and worshiped as brothers with different surnames with the other Shouyi Five Kings. But in the eyes of the rest of the four kings of Shouyi, the Winged King always belonged to the Southern King line, and while the Southern King was suppressed, the Winged King was also on guard from time to time.

And Luo Outline, with little ambition, after adulthood, rangers. He was the leader of the "Triad", a branch of the Guangdong Tiandi Society, and fled to Guangxi after leading a starving riot. He also organized the people of the Heaven and Earth Association to attack cities and towns in Xunzhou, Wuzhou, Yong'an, Lipu and other places, and raided the Qing army.

Due to the reluctance of Luo Xuan, Su Sanniang and other Heaven and Earth Society rebels to join the God Worship Sect and disobey the control, Tianwang Dongwang and others have been reluctant to accept the Heaven and Earth Congregation. On the eve of the Jintian Uprising, Feng Yunshan, despite the strong opposition of the Eastern King, found Luo Xuan alone and persuaded him to lead his brothers to join the Heavenly Rebellion. Luo Xuan had been friends with Feng Yunshan for a long time, and when he saw him come to persuade him single-handedly, he was moved by his courage and anti-Qing fighting spirit, and admired him even more, so he was willing to follow Feng Yunshan to join the kingdom of heaven.

However, in order to avoid suspicion, Feng Yunshan did not take charge of the army, and introduced Luo Outline and other members of the Heaven and Earth Association to the Wing King's account.

After Luo Xuan led the brothers of the Heaven and Earth Congregation to join the Kingdom of Heaven, there was a lot of friction between his subordinates and the worshippers, and the followers often reported to the King of Heaven and the King of the East. Luo Gangfa's wife died of illness, and at that time, Luo Gangfa was out on a campaign, and his wife's dowry and other relics were swallowed up by Chen Lai, an old brother in the Holy Sect. Chen Lai won the trust of the East King, and his status was higher than that of Luo Outline, Luo Outline was sad and helpless, fortunately Feng Yunshan, the king of the South, secretly investigated the truth, and united with Xiao Chaogui, the king of the West who also had a good impression of Luo Outline, forced the East King to dispose of Chen Lai with canons, and helped Luo Outline find his wife's relics, and Luo Outline was grateful to both the South King and the West King.

Luo Outline led more than 2,000 experienced sailor elites, with outstanding combat power, attacking Wuxuan in the west, Xiangzhou in the north, Pingnan in the east, conquering Yong'an Prefecture, breaking through and besieging Guilin in Yong'an, Luo Outline and so on are all pioneers and have made a lot of contributions. However, since the Jintian Uprising, he was awarded the commander of the Second Left Army, and he is still in his original position, and he has not moved at all. The brothers of the Heaven and Earth Society under his account were already dissatisfied, but Feng Yunshan at that time did not interfere in military affairs in order to avoid suspicion, resulting in no high-ranking and powerful people speaking out for it.

"Brother, I heard that you were injured by the Quanzhou Qing Demon Artillery today, the younger brother and the outline are concerned about the danger of the elder brother, so they came to visit, uninvited, and it is not strange." Shi Dakai said with a smile.

"Da Hu, this is blaming my brother for not knowing what to do before. I know my brother is wrong! Shicai is asking people to invite Brother Da and Brother Luo, it is estimated that they have not yet arrived at your barracks, but the two of you happened to come, and the so-called brothers have the same heart! Feng Shaoguang joked, and then said in a low voice with a solemn face: "Brother Da and Brother Luo, please come here because my brother has something important to discuss." Can Yunshan still trust you now? ”

"My brother (King Nan) said that it was okay, although we were stupid, we never forgot what my brother said at the beginning of his ambition to overthrow the Qing court and build the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom together. But if my brother commands anything, he will do everything he can. Shi Dakai and Luo Outline immediately expressed their position.

"Okay, then I'll have something to say." Feng Shaoguang immediately ordered to take away a pair of swordsmen, and sent Xie Xiangcai and Lu Qi to guard outside the tent to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, and pulled Shi and Luo to sit down on both sides, so that he was attacked by the artillery of the city tower and the artillery in the woods behind Xiangshan Temple outside Quanzhou City at noon today.

Zeng Guanlan on the side added: "Yiwang and Luo Junshuai, according to our investigation in the woods next to the Lion Rock behind Xiangshan Temple, we found 4 artillery pieces buried in the mud, all of which were captured outside Guilin at the beginning of the year and allocated to the First Army of the Central Army. The mastermind who wanted to kill the king of the south was self-explanatory. ”

Shi Dakai and Luo Xuanyan were extremely shocked when they heard this, and their mouths were still reluctant to comfort whether it was a misunderstanding or a coincidence, but they had already believed it in their hearts. If it is a clear demon, there is no need to set up artillery outside the city to sneak attack and abandon it.

Zeng Guanlan knew that what he said at this time was more convincing to the two than what King Nan said in person, so he took another step forward and said: "King Yi, Luo Junshuai, do you know that Guanlan is from the Zeng family in Dachong, Bauhinia Mountain, Guiping. Inspired by the king of the south, more than ten members of my Zeng family joined the Holy Sect, and as early as before the Jintian regimental camp, my Zeng family sold all the wealth of the family, handed over all of them to the holy treasury, followed the king of heaven, and contributed a lot to the kingdom of heaven. But at present, there are more than ten great-grandchildren of the three generations who joined the church, and only Guanlan and his uncle Yuheng, who have no obvious status, remain. Why, because he Yang Xiuqing used to be a charcoal burner for my Zeng family, I am afraid that we will know the bottom of it, which will damage the majesty of his Dongwang, and after being cut off several times, my Zeng family disappeared inexplicably, and it is expected that they are no longer alive. ”

"The king of the east is cunning and ruthless, and his desire for power is extremely heavy. All threats are cut off, and no hands are left behind to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots. If you succeed in harming the king of the south today, then you two can still be saved. But now that the conspiracy has not been completed, and the matter has been leaked, the king of the south has taken precautions, so he is only afraid of attacking you and other people close to the king of the south in the future, so please be cautious. After Zeng Guanlan finished speaking, he withdrew from the tent, leaving Shi Luo and the two who were sitting on the same side in the tent suspicious.

Feng Shaoguang saw that the two of them had changed drastically, and further said: "Da Pao and Brother Luo, listen to me, the old man of the Holy Sect, tell me something about the past." Eight years ago, Yunshan went to Bauhinia Mountain to preach the Holy Religion, when Lu Liu, who was in Gaokengchong, and Zeng Yasun of the Zeng family of Da Chong were the first to follow Yunshan, and later established the site of the Holy Religion, spreading the Holy Religion, etc., and even organized the congregation to follow the King of Heaven and I to Xiangzhou, and destroyed the Ganwang Temple. Just because they were my left and right arms, they were both murdered. Speaking of this, Feng Shaoguang's eyes were already ruddy, he was affected by the memories and emotions of the original Feng Yunshan, and he also felt very sorry for these two people.

"It's just that Yun Shan thought that the overall situation of the kingdom of heaven was planned at the beginning, and he forbearably retreated. Now it seems that he is actually weak and bullied, and even the people around him cannot be fully protected. Now do this useless remorse, what can I do? ”

Shi Dakai and Luo Outline are both impassioned people, and they have been inseparable from Feng Yunshan, and they have always been regarded by the kings as the first line of the Southern King. Seeing Feng Yunshan's true feelings revealed, he also opened his heart and said, "King Nan must not blame himself, now that King Nan has seen it clearly, he needs to cheer up even more in order to protect people like us." ”
