Feng Yunshan saw Habaander's look of surprise, so he explained: "Habaander, for God's sake, can you believe me?" I have some suggestions for you to preach and develop believers very smoothly! ”

Haba'an looked at Feng Yunshan in surprise, and seeing that the other party didn't look like a joke, he hurriedly asked, "Your Excellency, please hurry up and tell me directly, what can I do so that I can develop believers?" ”

"Mr. Habaander, I think you know that. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Under the rule of the Manchu Qing Dynasty, it was unlikely that he would succeed in proselytizing. They think that believing in God is evil, and they do not know God's mercy and fraternity, so they forbid the people to believe in religion among the people, so in the past few years you have been in Guangzhou, there has been no progress in missionary work. But now it is different, this city of Guangzhou is occupied by my Taiping Holy Army, and belongs to the rule of this king, who can allow you to preach, and can also help you mobilize the people to come to believe. Feng Yunshan tempted.

"Really? If we can do this, of course, we will be able to preach successfully. However, if the Holy King is so helpful, what conditions are there for it? As long as you can support me in my mission, you can only mention any conditions. Haba'an has been growing up in the church and school, relatively simple, and when he is excited, he seems impatient, no matter how difficult Feng Yunshan's conditions are, he shows that he is willing to agree.

You know, he was appointed by the Presbyterian Church, scattered all his wealth, went through a lot of hardships, traveled thousands of miles to come to Guangzhou to preach, and after five years of preaching, he also went to great lengths to open a clinic and a boarding school, all in order to establish a good reputation for himself and facilitate his mission. But even after all this, there are still very few people willing to follow him to the religion. For a full-time pastor who was born into a Presbyterian family and believed in God with extraordinary devotion, Habaander's whole world was gloomy. If it weren't for God's persuasion, Habaander would have even tried to put a musket to his head to convert him.

Therefore, when Feng Yunshan said that he was allowed to proselytize under his rule and was willing to help mobilize the people to proselytize, Haba'an ignored it and only thought that he could preach.

Feng Yunshan looked at this fanatical religious believer with a little admiration in his heart! Habaander, who can be simple and clean in mind, abandon distractions from the outside world, and preach wholeheartedly is actually lovely. However, no matter how cute a foreigner is, Feng Yunshan has to take advantage of it.

"Mr. Habaander, you know that in order to drive away the Manchu government and create a favorable missionary environment, so that the people of the entire eastern and western regions of Guangxi can return to the embrace of God, we holy religious members who believe in God fought to the death with wooden sticks and kitchen knives against the well-armed Manchu army, in exchange for such a good missionary opportunity. However, this time alone, when we conquered Guangzhou City, our Holy Army lost tens of thousands of Holy Sect members. They are God's people. Poor, may they go to heaven. ”

“oh，mygod！” Habaander exclaimed, and was about to say something. It just so happened that a group of holy soldiers pushed dozens of wooden wheeled carts past the side, Feng Yunshan stopped the wooden wheel convoy, opened the shelves on one of the vehicles, and seven or eight corpses with broken arms and legs wrapped in yellow silk appeared. Feng Yunshan said with a heavy face: "These are the people of God who were killed by the Qing Demon with advanced artillery and muskets. ”

"So, Mr. Habaander, I beg you to help you purchase a batch of more advanced firearms from England or the United States. That is the only requirement that I, a citizen of God, require. Feng Yunshan finally said his purpose.

"Your Excellency, but here, if I help buy guns and provide them to your army, won't I become a weapons dealer? The murderer who drove the war? Habaander said with a slight alarm.

"Habaander, you see if the Manchus are a barbaric and depraved world. War is the product of evil, and some contradictions and conflicts are intensified because of evil motives and desires, but some are just the struggle between right and wrong, which is to break the evil and exchange it for a new life. God hates bloodshed, but if there is no forced resistance to sin, it will prevail. So, God never rejects war. Are your Western countries still fighting less? ”

"Oh, Your Excellency, you have succeeded in convincing me. Well, if I contact the parishioners in the Presbyterian Church in America, I should be able to buy some! But probably not much. ”

"Habaander, let's make a deal. I am willing to pay 1.5 times the market price for the purchase of firearms, and the extra cost will be counted as your donation for the development of the Guangzhou Presbyterian Church. In addition, I can promise that for every 10 muskets or a cannon, I promise to bring you one believer. I'm looking forward to you building the Canton Presbyterian Church with thousands of followers. ”

"All right, Your Excellency. Just do as you say. For God's sake, I'll do my best to buy you more firearms. Habaander smiled, and his heart burned when he thought of the Canton Presbyterian Church, which had not been established for many years.

Subsequently, Haba'an introduced several foreign friends to Feng Yunshan.

One was a British missionary who founded the clinic with him, and was sent by the London Evangelical Society to preach in China with his family. Hexin is humble and sincere, amiable, and has excellent medical skills, and is deeply trusted by the local Baixin in Xiguan. He founded a clinic with Habaander outside Xiguan, Guangzhou, and helped many addicts in the city quit smoking.

The other two are Pastor Shuwei of the Southern Baptist Convention, the largest Protestant denomination in the United States, and Pastor Shuwei is the first missionary sent to China by the Southern Baptist Convention. After coming to Guangzhou for many years, he founded the "first branch of Guangzhou" of the Baptist Church, although it only developed a dozen congregations, the key is that he has a famous pastor named Luo Xiaoquan.

The last person was the British Methodist pastor Francis Bi, who only came to Guangzhou this year and was supported by the Methodists to open a mission center in Guangzhou.

These foreigners are relatively pure religious people, and they sincerely come to China to preach. Feng Yunshan naturally would not let go of the opportunity to contact.

After greeting them one by one, Feng Yunshan figured out the purpose of these foreigners following Tan Tiyuan to meet him. It turned out that these foreigners all had missionary missions, but in Guangzhou City, because Ye Mingchen, the governor of Guangdong, was wary of them and secretly manipulated the people to resist, they almost did not develop any believers over the years. Originally, he was hiding from the war in Haba'ande's clinic, but he didn't expect to hear Tan Tiyuan talk about knowing the leader of the Taiping Holy Army who occupied Guangzhou City, so he came with him to ask for a meeting.

The two Britons were even more ecstatic, grabbed Feng Yunshan and said, "Your Excellency, it's hard to believe that there is a wise king like you in your country, and all the soldiers under your command believe in God. The occupation of Guangdong is a victory for Christians! In the future, our mission will be much smoother! ”

Feng Yunshan also kept smiling on his face. It's best that you can think so. Everyone believes in God, so we must help each other, right? I'll help you pull some believers, and you help me buy some weapons first, and everyone will benefit from each other.

Therefore, Feng Yunshan continued to offer to help them preach, open a church in the Guangzhou area, and even fund the construction of a church, provided that through their connections, a batch of weapons could be procured.

"Dear parishioners, God's people, you don't want to see the people of the land of Canton breathe the air of freedom and equality, listen to God's teachings, and enjoy God's mercy, and immediately let the barbaric Manchu army destroy everything, right?"

"It is also a belief in God, as long as the more land and the more people under the rule of this king, the greater the results of your mission. Our purpose is the same, to get more people to hear the gospel of God. Isn't it? Feng Yunshan further tempted.

Several Western missionaries knew that the Holy King's purpose was to expand his territory, but the temptation to preach and even establish a real branch was too great, and they agreed to Feng Yunshan's request, saying that they would return to Hong Kong Island as soon as possible to help the Taiping Holy Army buy some weapons for self-defense.
