At the "Righteous Hall" righteous army garrison in Wu Wei, Zhu Hongying successively sent several cousins to Nanning Mansion to contact the brothers in the city, but there was no news, and he couldn't help but get anxious. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

On this day, he was convening Hu Youlu and others to discuss whether to attack Nanning City or withdraw troops to change places. According to his intentions, he still went to Lianzhou Mansion in Guangdong, although it was not as rich as Nanning, but it was better than the Qing army with few soldiers, and it was a remote place by the sea. What he envisioned was that it would not be bad to come back and attack Nanning or Yulin Prefecture after it had developed over there.

"Hall Master, Yongxiu is back, and he has brought three Taiping Army brothers!" The brother who sent the message outside the door came to report.

"Isn't he in Nanning City, why did he come back?" Zhu Hongying's face was gloomy, "I want to ask, who asked him to bring outsiders into our hall?" ”

"Hall Master, let's ask Brother Chen first, maybe there is a reason for it." Hu Youlu persuaded.

Zhu Hongying nodded, and asked Chen Yongxiu and others to come in.

"Bold Chen Yongxiu, the hall sent you to Nanning City to lead the brothers who should be in Nanning City to help conquer Nanning City, you don't count returning to the hall by yourself, but also make your own decisions and bring outsiders into the hall. Are you guilty? As soon as he saw Chen Yongxiu and the others, Zhu Hongying asked with a dark face.

"Hall Master Mingjian, the younger brother is here for the matter of Nanning City. Last night, the 40,000 holy soldiers of the Taiping Holy Army captured the city of Nanning, and the Qing demon except for the demon head Liu Changqing who led more than 1,000 Qing soldiers to escape, the rest of the more than 5,000 Qing troops were all annihilated and captured by the holy army. Chen Yongxiu paused, letting Zhu Hongying and his cousins digest the shocking news before continuing: "The brothers in the city have been rescued and taken in by the holy soldiers, and they have all joined the holy army. The younger brother specially brought a message from the commander of the Taiping Holy Army Li and the four Luo brothers, the envoys of the Holy Army, and invited the cousins to go to Nanning City to join the Holy Army together and jointly raise the great cause of opposing the Qing Dynasty. ”

"What? Nanning City has been breached by the Taiping Army!? They have 40,000 horses? Even the brothers in the city have joined? And invite us all to join the Taiping Army? ”

The news came too suddenly, too much, too exciting! Zhu Hongying felt that he couldn't accept every news. Not to mention three or four in a row. So much so that he didn't know clearly that Chen Yongxiu was talking about the Taiping Holy Army from beginning to end, not the Taiping Army as he understood it.

Hu Youlu was also shocked by this news!

He knew the gap between the anti-Qing rebels and the regular Qing soldiers. Not to mention the weapons and equipment, the main thing is that ..... he can't say it himself, anyway, every time he followed his brother to do something, it was a mess, it seems that there are a lot of rebels, but if you really go to attack the county, it is common for thousands of rebels to be defeated by hundreds of Qing soldiers and regimental bravery.

That's just the county seat, and it's not a regular Qing soldier. But this is the Nanning Mansion City and Daotai Station, there are thousands of regular Qing soldiers in the city, and the Nanning city wall is much taller and thicker than the ordinary small county town. It's only been a few days? Just a few days ago, news came from the city of Nanning, saying that there were more and more Qing soldiers in the city. Even if this Taiping Holy Army really had 40,000 horses, it would be difficult to break through Nanning City, which had more than 6,000 or 7,000 Qing soldiers, so how did they do it?

Can't figure it out! Hu Youlu couldn't help but feel a little bitter in his mouth: he and Brother Zhu worked hard, especially Brother Zhu, who had been lurking around Nanning City for two years, secretly developing the congregation to accumulate strength, and carefully looking for opportunities. As for the few cellars in Nanning City, it took a lot of manpower and financial resources for more than a year to dig them up, but they wanted to capture Nanning City but couldn't. Unexpectedly, as soon as this Taiping Holy Army came, it was broken so quickly. It is estimated that Brother Zhu is even more uncomfortable.

Thinking of this, Hu Youlu looked at Zhu Hongying and found that his closed lips had been trembling slightly.

Zhu Hongying seemed to have a sense, and also glanced at Hu Youlu.

"Thank you for the kindness of the commander of the Taiping Army! We are all brothers in the chaos, and we are used to being careless, and we don't believe in the Western God of Naraush, so we won't join! Please also this one... What's your surname? Zhu Hongying glanced at Luo Si and paused.

"The surname is Luo, Luo Si!" Chen Yongxiu next to him said busily.

"Oh yes, Brother Luo, please also ask Brother Luo to tell the commander. In addition, can you release all the brothers of my Zhu in the city? Thank you so much! Zhu Hongying said seriously.

"Hall Master, you misunderstood. The Holy Army was not forced, it was the brothers themselves who wanted to join the Taiping Holy Army. ”

"Shut up!" Zhu Hongying glared at Chen Yongxiu fiercely, and then turned his head to stare at Luo Si's eyes again.

Luo Si found that this Zhu Hall Master was not dealing with it. He had no choice but to take over and said: "Leader Zhu, you may not know very well that we are the Taiping Holy Army, not the Taiping Army, so we must not believe in God like the Taiping. Luo might as well tell Leader Zhu that more than half of the holy soldiers in our holy army used to be members of the Heaven and Earth Congregation, and so did I. Also, the brothers in the city are all willing to join the Holy Army, and if they don't want to, they can leave at any time, but if they want to become Holy Soldiers, no one can force them to leave! Including Brother Chen! ”

Zhu Hongying's face turned the color of pig liver, but he took a deep breath, recovered, and said calmly: "That's okay." For the sake of everyone's anti-Qing brothers, I will not pursue this matter. You tell the commander for me, Zhu and his brothers are used to being free, although they are all anti-Qing, but they are still against each other! ”

"Hall Master, let's think about it again! I think the Taiping Holy Army is really good. Chen Yongxiu is still trying to persuade him.

Zhu Hongying's face sank, and she didn't pay attention to Chen Yongxiu at all.

Hu Youlu next to him opened his mouth, but finally didn't speak.

Chen Yongxiu's eyes were red, and in the end, he still had tears in his eyes and left with Luo Si and the others.

"Wait!" Hu Youlu stopped the four of them, and he said to Zhu Hongying, whose face changed: "Brother Zhu, since Youlu came to Nanning to seek refuge with you, I found that Brother Zhu always guards against Youlu from time to time, and Youlu has never known why. It wasn't until today that I finally understood! It turns out that Brother Zhu has always had the intention of being self-reliant, so he is not sure to defect to the Taiping Holy Army, am I right? ”

"Presumably, the person sent by Youlu to contact Brother Luo was also manipulated by Brother Zhu, right?" Seeing Zhu Hongying's ugly face, Hu Youlu didn't say anything more, and said straight to the point: "Brother Zhu, Youlu never thought of sitting on the top spot, just hoping to avenge his brother, fulfill his brother's last wish, and overthrow the Manchu Dynasty!" Therefore, with Brother Zhu's resignation, Youlu also wants to join the Holy Army with the Yongxiu brothers. Only the Holy Army can help Youlu fulfill his wish. Please forgive Brother Zhu! ”

"You.. You... You guys! Let's go, you all go! Zhu Hongying laughed angrily and said, "My 'Gongyi Hall' temple is too small to support you." ”

Then he turned his head and shouted at the rest of the people: "Who else wants to join the Taiping Holy Army, let's go together!" After speaking, Zhu Hongying walked out by herself.

At that moment, several small leaders stood up and were willing to follow Hu Youlu and others to join the Taiping Holy Army. I heard that the Taiping Holy Army conquered Guilin City and Nanning City and occupied half of Guangxi, and in the end, the main force of Wu Wei's Gongyi Hall had nearly 2,000 people willing to join the Taiping Holy Army.

Zhu Hongying has a tough personality, although he is very reluctant, but due to the strong power of the Taiping Holy Army, in order to stop it, let Hu Youlu and others leave.

After that, Zhu Hongying, who had a gloomy face, also immediately picked up the remaining more than 2,000 righteous cousins and went to the southeast, more than 100 miles away in the direction of Qinzhou and Lingshan.
