After handing over the prisoners with the foreigners, Feng Yunshan saw that it was rare to be with the generals of the Holy Army, so he stayed for a day, and that night was lively, celebrating the success of getting weapons from the foreigners. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

He also asked the 5 Indians who had surrendered to persuade the 199 Indian soldiers who were abandoned by the British to surrender, and finally succeeded in persuading 115 Indian soldiers to join the Holy Country, but they insisted on only believing in their own Hinduism and not believing in the Holy Religion of the Holy Country.

This is also because, from those five Indian soldiers, he saw well-trained military skills. It is no wonder that these Indian soldiers are also one out of ten, they are British officers in the Indian Governor's Office, and the elite selected from the tens of thousands of soldiers recruited from India are transferred to Hong Kong Island to guard.

As for the remaining 84 Indian soldiers, Feng Yunshan did not show mercy, and asked the holy soldiers to behead them all that night and bury them in the mountains and wilderness on the spot.

The next day, more than a dozen large guns were brought to the Shajiao Fort and the damaged guns were replaced. The rest of the artillery and musket pellets were loaded onto ships and prepared to be transported to Guangzhou for unified distribution.

After stopping, Lu Shunde had the opportunity to report to Feng Yunshan.

He and Zhang Bashan and others, led the original Chen Kaiyi army to attack 40,000 people, stationed in Bao'an County, but the number was too many, the grain in Bao'an was looted by the righteous army many times, it was empty, the people were short of food in their own households, and fled one after another.

When Feng Yunshan heard this question, he attached great importance to it.

The food problem has been the biggest problem since ancient times. Even after entering the 21st century, the country has always regarded food production as the first priority.

It is no longer possible to scavenge grain in Bao'an, and besides, it is necessary to transport some grain from other places to appease the people and let them return to the village and cultivate with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan asked Lu Shunde to lead 40,000 righteous troops back to Guangzhou to eat first, wait for training and reorganization, and then join the holy army. He also instructed Wu Chongyao to transport a batch of grain from Guangzhou to Bao'an, and sent local holy soldiers to help distribute some relief food to various villages to save the hearts of the people.

After that, Feng Yunshan led Zuo Zongtang, Wu Chongyao, Tan Shaoguang and others to follow Liang Peiyou's sailors back to Guangzhou by water. Lin Fengxiang, Chen Yucheng, He Lu, Lu Shunde and others, who led the troops, led the holy soldiers and volunteers to return to Guangzhou by land.

There was nothing to say all the way, and when I was fast to the Liede Fort, a small wooden boat with a fast sail came from the upper reaches of the Pearl River, but it was Fan Ruzeng, the commander of the battalion, who personally urged people to drive the boat out, and there was an urgent report to Feng Yunshan.

"Holy King, something big has happened in the north! The Taiping Heavenly Army evacuated Wuchang, the army of 500,000, down the Yangtze River, advancing by land and water, defeating the army of Lu Jianying, the governor of Liangjiang, the head of the Qing demon Qin Cha Minister in Chaohu Lake under the Mouse Gorge in Guangji Realm of Eastern Hubei Province, Lu Jianying fled back to Nanjing, the city passed, looked down from the wind, seven days ago, the army had conquered Jiujiang, and was continuing to kill Nanjing! Fan Ruzeng held the note with the news in his hand and reported it loudly.

The Taiping army has conquered Jiujiang City? Feng Yunshan was taken aback! Then, it suddenly dawned on me that I would only memorize history by rote, and I was stupid.

Feng Yunshan always remembered that the Taiping army spent the New Year in Wuchang City, and only left Wuchang on the second day of the first month to go east, and then was invincible, conquering Jiujiang ten days later, conquering Anqing half a month later, and besieging Nanjing City at the end of the first month, which can be described as a fast march! Then, after besieging the city for twelve or three days, he captured the city of Nanjing and became the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom---- Tianjing!

Unexpectedly, I was misled by simple things. That is, as an outsider, he has crossed into this world, which has caused a change in the course of history. The Taiping army already captured Wuchang half a month earlier than in the original history, and naturally correspondingly, the capture of Jiujiang and Anqing, Nanjing and other places will also be much earlier.

Originally, he occupied Liangguang, with more than 100,000 elite soldiers, and he thought that his territory was larger than that of Hong Yang and his people. Unexpectedly, this time, it was compared. In another month, they will be able to capture the city of Nanjing. With the richness and population of Nanjing, the power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be greatly strengthened, and it will only be stronger than itself.

Fortunately, he has a vision of 160 years more than Hong Yang and the others, and now he has an advanced weapon like a foreign gun, and he has begun to start industrial construction one step ahead of schedule. And Hong Yang and the others have nothing to do, so they can only sit and eat, believing that they will soon be able to surpass them.

However, now that the command of the Holy Army is beginning to be chaotic, the military system and social methods that were originally attached to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are no longer compatible with their own future development plans, which will greatly delay their development. Moreover, now that their territory is getting wider and wider, without an effective management system, it will in fact become a state of chaos. Taking advantage of the fact that the entire Manchu Qing Dynasty is now attracted by Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, and the foreigners are also in a period of lull, it is a great opportunity, it's time to make a change!

……….

Just as Feng Yunshan was on his way to Guangzhou, the British troops who had returned to Hong Kong Island were facing an unprecedented panic.

The first 12 officers suddenly turned pale and their whole bodies were weak and weak. The big yawns were beaten one after the other; Every pore in the body is sweating uncontrollably, and they are all crying out for being cold.

Their snot and tears were streaming down their faces. The whole person, as if there were countless kitten paws scratching in his heart, showed fear and palpitations on his pale face.

After that, I kept shaking all over my body, cold and hot, abdominal pain, leg cramps, uncomfortable where I put my hands, and I was crazy all over.

Immediately afterwards, more than 100 of the other 180 British soldiers also became inexplicably anxious and irritable as if they had fallen into an evil spirit.

They feel the itching in their throat and cough violently; There are also bursts of nausea and pain in the stomach, desperately trying to vomit and vomit, but only vomiting bile!

The commander, Major General Chad, was frightened and hurriedly called the doctor on Hong Kong Island.

Upon examination, the doctor did not find anything wrong, but he suspected that these soldiers had some symptoms like having smoked opium, but the symptoms were much more serious than those of smoking opium, not to mention, everyone knew that opium was an expensive thing, and with the salary of these ordinary soldiers, it was impossible to afford it. Therefore, the doctor did not dare to talk nonsense, but just said that he would observe for another half a day.

As soon as the doctor left, eight other British officers began to vomit, have abdominal pain, and itching in their arms. After a while, I started to urinate blood.

Cha Wei hurriedly invited the doctor back. After a diagnosis, the church doctor from Scotland could not find out anything, and he was helpless.

Seeing that there was no way, Major General Chawei sent some soldiers to quickly report to Governor Wen Han. As soon as Wen Han heard the situation, he immediately wondered if the rebels had done something, because these soldiers who committed strange diseases had been captured by the rebels.

He hurriedly ordered all the sick soldiers to be isolated and forbidden to have contact with other soldiers on Hong Kong Island. He was afraid of some terrible plague or contagion.

All the doctors on Hong Kong Island were invited, and people were sent to Xiangmen to invite doctors to come to Hong Kong Island for consultation. In the end, I couldn't find any reason.

Later, a doctor speculated that the 12 officers and 100 or so soldiers, looking at the symptoms, looked a little like the onset of smoking, but the symptoms were much more intense.

Wen Han was helpless, so he asked people to find a box of tobacco and soil, and lit it for the sick soldier to smoke, but the soldier who was originally trembling no longer trembled, and sucked it greedily and contentedly, and he looked like a hundred times more energetic.

The other soldiers also rushed up to grab the smoke like crazy, completely ignoring the commander's orders.

With such an experiment, Wen Han was so angry that his face turned pale! It immediately occurred to him that most of these captured warriors were probably forced by the rebels to smoke tobacco soil!

“fuck！” Wen Han, who has always been polite, couldn't help but scold! This is too lacking in morality, I can't imagine that these rebels are so vicious.

How did the twelve officers and more than a hundred soldiers fight after this? Rely on tobacco to cheer up every day, smoke a meal of tobacco before fighting a charge, and then rush to kill?

Wen Han thought sadly: At such a big cost, can you redeem a bunch of waste?

He asked, "Sergeant, have the rebels done anything to you?" ”

The soldier, who was still immersed in happiness and joy, came back to his senses and replied, "No, just poked me with a sharp piece of wood." ”

"Didn't feed the tobacco? Just poked it with wood! Could it be that this rebel still knows witchcraft? Wen Han couldn't help but be stunned. In this world, how can there be such powerful witchcraft, if there were, this ancient country, with so many people, would have ruled the whole world a long time ago. In this case, did he still wronged the rebels?

Just as Wen Han was thinking hard, the soldiers came to report that Major General Chawei was also sick.

At first, I felt that my shoulders were a little itchy and painful, but later, it was even more itchy, and I wanted to scratch or even cut off that piece of meat. The next day, the shoulders were no longer itchy, but the whole person began to be depressed, lost his appetite, and had a high fever.

Waiting for the Portuguese doctor to come to see him, he was also at a loss.

On the third day, five British officers began to have difficulty breathing, their pulse rates decreased, and their whole bodies collapsed, and soon after, these five died one after another that night.

Major General Chawei and the other three British officers may not have absorbed much poison in their bodies, and their condition has improved somewhat, but Chawei still has a crooked mouth and eyes, and he began to sleep most of the day. After seeing it, a Chinese medicine doctor on Hong Kong Island told Governor Wenhan: "Major General Chawei and these foreign adults have all had a stroke!" This disease can only be recuperated slowly, and there is no cure. ”

Only Cha Wei, who was lying on the hospital bed, knew that he had been killed by the big man next to the rebel leader. It's just that his mouth is crooked and he can't speak, and his arms can't be raised to write, and he can't express it alive.
