Therefore, the three of them decided to settle down, and in Ningyuan City, the Holy First Army would leave five hundred holy soldiers to guard the county seat. Luo led the remaining 3,400 people of the Holy First Army, plus more than 600 people joined by the Suspicious Yong Battalion, a total of more than 4,000 soldiers, and took the middle road, passing through Jiahe, to Guiyang and Chenzhou.

Lin Fengxiang led the three thousand holy soldiers of the Second Holy Army down the road, passing through Blue Mountain, Linwu, Yizhang, and then to Chenzhou.

Li Kaifang, led 3,000 soldiers of the Holy Third Army, walked on the road, passed through Xintian, went to Guiyang to meet with the Holy First Army, and then attacked Chenzhou together. And after Sun Yingzhao was tested by Chen Yucheng, he said that as long as he could sleep well, he would be willing to submit to the Holy Army. He has a noble status in the Yongzhou Qing Demon, and Xintian is subordinate to Yongzhou Mansion, so he asked him to follow Li Kaifang and make full use of his value, maybe he can wait for the opportunity to earn the city, and he can capture Xintian without swords and guns.

After the discussion was decided, Lin and Li took their leave and returned to the camp, received the captured weapons and gunpowder, prepared to go to the battle, and went to prepare for the arrangements.

Luo Xuan asked Sun Yingzhao to be politely sent to the Holy Third Army, and left Chen Yucheng behind, he felt that he liked this kid more and more. He is young, has a lot of ghost ideas, and is still his own lieutenant. When you meet him, you can have good things and solve your headaches. Can it be liked?

The one I saw in the back was Ningyuan's Zhixian, an old man who believed in Buddhism all day, surnamed Lu. Lu Xianling was very cooperative, and before Luo Jian could speak, he introduced Ning Yuan and his own situation in a hurry.

Luo Xuan had to admit that according to what he said, he could judge that this Lu County Commander was indeed a good official. He is not corrupt, his life is simple, although he does not take care of political affairs, he does not bully the people, and even his entourage is only a dozen or so people. It's just that after two consecutive terms of governorship, he knew that his promotion was hopeless, so he placed his affection for incense and faith. Luo Xuan had no interest in his, interrupted his ramblings, and said, "Lu County Order, can you tell Luo some useful things?" ”

Old man Lu said curiously: "Useful things, the criminal officer doesn't understand?" ”

Chen Yucheng, who was still next to him, interjected: "Lu Demon Head, I just asked you to say things that are useful to our Holy Army!" For example, apart from what we seized, where else is there money and other things? Where are there minerals or things that the Manchus usually value in Ningyuan? ”

"Oh, the general wants to know this!" Old man Lu looked so slow and methodical that Luo Xuan almost wanted to beat him up. But at least he was a lot more polite: "Lu County Ling Mo Fei knows, please tell me quickly!" ”

"The money and the weapons are in the treasury, and you have seen them. However, the minerals mentioned by the little general do have such a place, and the imperial court has always attached great importance to it, and Lu has also been a county magistrate for many years, so he knew. ”

"Please also ask the county commander Lu to tell me the location and wait!" Luo Xuan said eagerly.

"You old demon head, just do it! Say what minerals, and where? Chen Yucheng also scolded anxiously.

"Don't worry, don't worry! As long as you agree to Lu's small request, Lu will tell you all right away! Old man Lu looked like he had succeeded in his treacherous scheme.

"Smack! Old demon head, believe it or not, General Luo gave an order, and your head will move immediately! Chen Yucheng reprimanded.

Old man Lu closed his eyes and looked like a scoundrel who listened to him.

"Hugh has to be rude to Lu County! Please also ask Lu County Ling to tell me what the requirements are. Luo Xuanxuan thought about it, since this dead demon head dared to make a request with confidence, it was naturally very important for this mineral, so he swallowed his anger and let him say what conditions he said first.

"I heard that since your army started in Guangxi, all the places it passed, Taoist temples, academies and Confucian temples, were all destroyed. Can the Shun Temple, Yongfu Temple and Confucian Temple in Ningyuan be left? Lu Moudai Ningyuan people are grateful for the kindness of your army! "Lu County ordered to bow down.

Luo Xuan didn't expect that he would ask for such a request, he had never liked the act of burning temples in the worship of God, so he hurriedly helped up Lu County Order, and said: "Lu County Order, I am in charge of this request, I can promise you!" But you don't know that now my holy army is under the command of the holy king, which is completely different from the old habits of Guangxi at that time. Can you tell me what minerals are now and where? ”

"It is a small-scale nitrate mine, located in the Jiuzhi Mountains at the junction of Ningyuan and Lanshan counties, halfway up a mountain peak. Lu can ask the chief to go with the general. By the way, there are dozens of mine guards and more than 100 miners, and I need to send people to deliver rice and grain to the foot of the mountain every month. "Lu County Ling finally said that this mine hidden in the deep mountains.

It turned out to be a secret saltpeter mine. Now it's good, there are sulfur mines in Guiyang and saltpeter mines here, and the production of gunpowder is promising! Luo Xuan was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Chen Yucheng to find the chief follower of Lu County Order and take people to take over the saltpeter minerals. He hurriedly ordered someone to ride a fast horse and report the matter to Daozhou.

The rest of the captives Luo Outline were also escorted to them at will, and they met them, but there was no major news to provide, just begging for mercy, which made Luo Outline, who was full of hope for more good news, upset.

Although he was a soldier with the surname Guan in Chenzhou, he revealed that he had participated in the Sino-British War with Lin Zexu in his early years, had seen the power of artillery on British warships, and later operated Western artillery, but was later injured and sent to a Western hospital opened by missionaries, where he also knew a Western missionary who knew Chinese.

Luo Xuan was quite concerned about this news. He had heard the Holy King talk about it, and he was going to send people to Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places to contact the foreigners after a while. Now that there is news about this, it has aroused interest.

"Can you still find this Western missionary?" Luo Xuan asked.

"Back to the general, the villain doesn't dare to guarantee it." Mr. Guan replied cautiously.

"So, is the Western hospital you mentioned still there?" Luo Xuan didn't give up and asked.

"That Western hospital is not small, so it should still be there. The villain hasn't been to Guangzhou for several years, but there is a student named He Jingwen in the West who I know, and his home is Xiguan, Guangzhou, and I have helped his family. "The surname Guan has a little more confidence.

"Excellent! You're good, would you like to join my Holy Army? Dealing with those Westerners? Luo Xuan asked.

"The villain is willing!" The general surnamed Guan was busy, what he thought was that it was better to deal with Westerners than with Hades.

"Okay, I'll send someone to send you to the Holy King first, and you tell the Holy King about the 1510 you just said, and the Holy King has his own arrangements. How to do it, you must know very well. Luo Xuan was satisfied that the surname Guan was sent to Daozhou, believing that the Holy King would be interested in the Westerners he said.

For the more than 1,300 Chenzhou soldiers imprisoned in the city, Luo Xuan also had a headache. If you follow his previous temperament, it is natural that the more brothers under him, the better, but since joining the Taiping Army and repeatedly fighting with the Qing Army, he has also figured out a truth, there are not many soldiers, but fine. Dare to fight and not be afraid of death, such soldiers, even if there are not many of them, are not easy to deal with. As soon as these Chenzhou soldiers encountered a battle, they were defeated like a mountain, which not only could not increase the numerical superiority, but was harmful to the entire battlefield.

Although many people begged to surrender and were willing to join the Holy Army, Luo Xuan really didn't dare to ask for it, he was afraid that the Holy First Army, which had many new soldiers, would be damaged, and all of them would become soft eggs. It's better to leave these captives in Ningyuan first, waste some food, and report to the Holy King to wait for him to decide what to do.

In the afternoon, Luo Jian ordered his son Luo Feide to lead 500 holy soldiers, stay in Ningyuan, and be responsible for transporting some subsequent captured materials to Daozhou. He himself personally led the soldiers of the Holy First Army, and the Holy Second Army and the Holy Third Army led by Lin and Li set off almost at the same time to attack Chenzhou, and the three teams walked mightily among the Ningyuan hills.
