Chapter Errors/Click here to report

As a petty intellectual, Hong Xiuquan started to create his own so-called God worship religion from a book of "Good Words for Advice to the World", and now he has been ignoring foreign affairs all day long and specially revising the doctrine, and he may have wasted a lot of time, but he has not realized that his God worship religion has long been detached from the original doctrine of Christianity, and even has blasphemy connotations, nor has he considered whether he should really change something so that the people can really get what they want. On the contrary, on the issue of dealing with Westerners, he still uses his own teachings to change the views of the other party, which cannot but be said to be a kind of sadness for him. Especially at present, he thinks that being able to get the support of the foreign brothers will speed up his domination of the country, and for this purpose, he does not think too much about it.

Like Yang Xiuqing, he adopted a strategy of neither acknowledging nor rejecting the unequal treaties that had already been signed with the Manchus proposed by the foreigners. The promises they made to their foreign brothers to "enter and exit freely," "advance and retreat at will," "no taxes on goods," and so on are in essence undermining the country's sovereignty. Obviously, they have not yet recognized the essence of the Western colonialists, and they have lost their due vigilance from the beginning. In contrast to Emperor Xianfeng's reluctance to lure wolves into his house, the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were much more superficial in their treatment of the foreign powers' attempts at colonial aggression than the Qing court.

Now facing Lin Haifeng's statement, Hong Xiuquan almost felt a little disdainful, "How could it be? ”

Yang Xiuqing thought more, he looked at Lin Haifeng, and asked seriously: "No matter what, once you enter Shanghai, you will inevitably face them directly, how will my brother deal with this problem?" ”

"What does the King mean?" Lin Haifeng smiled and turned his head to Hong Xiuquan.

"I believe that we must not go to war against the countries of the West, that would be contrary to the doctrine." Hong Xiuquan said it very neatly.

Lin Haifeng looked at him, didn't speak for a long time, but sneered in his heart. It is no wonder that in order to break into the Yangtze River in 1858, the British ** ship approached the outside of Tianjing City under the leadership of Ergin, and demonstrated on the river. Although there was bloodshed on both sides, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan still stubbornly adhered to the earlier view, issued an edict to behead the soldiers of the Taiping Army who opened the cannon, and sent a special envoy to apologize, believing that Ergin's trip was "the Western brother to God" and "all the countries to help me on the rooftop", and the "Western brothers" should also work with the Taiping army to "kill bed bugs with the top brother".

"What if these foreigners help the Qing Demon to fight against us?" Zheng Nan asked, "Do we still have to retreat?" ”

"This," Hong Xiuquan was stunned, "they will be strictly neutral." ”

"How is that possible?" This time it was Lin Haifeng's turn to say, "The Western powers knocked on our door with strong ships and cannons for their own interests. Which of the Treaty of Canton or the Treaty of Nanking was not imposed on us? As long as you violate their interests, they will never strictly abide by any so-called neutrality. ”

For the first time in a few months, Lin Haifeng said "no" in front of the King of Heaven and the King of the East, Hong Xiuquan looked at Yang Xiuqing, and the two of them were speechless for a while.

Seeing the uncomfortable look on the Heavenly King's face, Wei Changhui coughed, which eased the air in the main hall, "When Wen Han came to Tianjing, he was received by the junior brother, and the conversation was still very harmonious. He told me about the Christian doctrines they embraced, and I patted him on the shoulder and told him that our doctrines were the same, and that he was very sincere. As Brother Haifeng said, he seems to be very disgusted with the Celestial Empire, and I can't think of any reason for him. Of course, the SITC brothers know the future and may realize something. I think we're still courteous. ”

His words were originally Mo Ling's words and muddy, but he happened to find a conversation for Lin Haifeng, Lin Haifeng stretched out his hand, and was just about to open his mouth, Zheng Nan stood up first, "Brother Beiwang said well." We are a country of etiquette, so we naturally have to focus on etiquette. However, we still have to pay attention to proportion, for anyone, our slogan should be, people do not offend me; I will not offend anyone, but if anyone sins against me, I will sin. We will not recognize any unequal treaties that have been imposed on us in the past, regardless of with whom they have signed them. In the future, this point should be widely publicized and seen by all the people of the country, especially the reactionary literati who have vigorously slandered the Celestial Empire, that we are the ones who truly safeguard the interests of the country and the nation, and that we will not bow down to any hostile forces! ”

Hehe, it seems that this King Ning is still a very bloody man! Instead of being annoyed by Zheng Nan's words against his will, he felt more and more that he should do his best to complete the marriage between Xuan Jiao and this Zheng Nan.

Yang Xiuqing doesn't want to dwell too much on this issue now. Although he saw the importance of Western weapons in the war, he still looked down on those overseas barbarians at all, "Forget it, I don't think I understand a word about this matter, anyway, there is still time, let's talk about it slowly." He waved his hand and said to Lin Haifeng, "Let's talk about the situation of the twisters in northern Anhui, isn't Lai Hanying in contact with them now?" ”

"Okay, that's roughly what it looks like. Around the vortex yang, there are now five large twister forces, among which Zhang Lexing is the strongest, gathering tens of thousands of people and horses in total, which has a great influence. They focused on the development of cavalry troops, which were very mobile. Lin Haifeng looked at Hong Xiuquan and a few others, "However, their composition is complex, their discipline is relatively loose, and their hometown concept is also heavy." Therefore, I agree with Brother Dongwang's opinion yesterday, that is, as long as they accept the banner of our Celestial Empire, actively cooperate with our operations in northern Anhui, and contain some of the forces of the Qing Demons, they will not make large-scale transfers against them for the time being. ”

"You can sue Lai Hanying, as long as they are willing to accept the jurisdiction of our Celestial Empire, they will be crowned Zhang Lexing a king and command the twisters there in a unified manner. In this way, he could also massively expand his army. Also, the same can be done for that Liu Lichuan in Shanghai. Hong Xiuquan stroked his beard and smiled, "His generalissimo is a bit nondescript." ”

Yang Xiuqing shook her head, "I thought there was no need to add a knighthood in the future." ”

"Oh?" Hong Xiuquan looked at him with a smile and asked as if he was a little puzzled, "What does the robe mean?"

"I still agree with the previous Haifeng brother's statement that the official system of the Celestial Empire must be changed slowly." Yang Xiuqing didn't say anything more, he knew in his heart that the Heavenly King wanted to crown Zhang Lexing and Liu Lichuan as kings, and the purpose would never be so simple.

"Okay, the government affairs of the Celestial Empire are all taken care of by Qing Pao, since you said it, I don't have a word." Hong Xiuquan waved his hand very casually, looked at Zheng Nan, and then at Yang Xiuqing, "Qingpao, how is the help I asked you to help?" ”
