Chapter 64: The world was shocked

In response to the plea of the generals of Guangdong, Emperor Daoguang certainly could not chill the heart of this army with strong combat effectiveness, so he rewarded Guangdong again. and he was given many official positions, and treasures of gold and silver, and money and food...... At the same time, the governors of Sichuan and Huguang continued to send troops to encircle and suppress the Taiping army in the Yunnan-Guizhou region.

But what I didn't expect was that this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was really strong, and it won many battles! After successive defeats to the Manchu imperial army, they soon occupied Guiyang and Kunming with incredible speed, and since then most of Yunnan and Guizhou have fallen into the hands of the Taiping army.

So in the winter of the twenty-third year of Daoguang, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officially set the capital of Guiyang, called "Tianjing"! At the same time, the princes were divided, and they were officially issued to the European and American powers in the form of "letters of state" - this is actually normal. After all, Christianity is an absolutely powerful existence in Western countries, and Hong Xiuquan considers himself the younger brother of Jesus in Christianity, so he naturally has some feelings of closeness to the West......

But as to whether this closeness is wishful thinking or what, only God knows.

But no matter what.

The news that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was officially established with Guiyang as its capital shocked the world!!

Daoguang in the palace was so angry that he couldn't eat, and he was determined to mobilize more troops to encircle and suppress the rebels of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At the same time, the European powers, which had long been trying to penetrate the East, were ready to move. They are like sharks that have smelled blood......

China's vast land and population, as well as its abundant resources, have long been coveted by them. The huge benefits brought by the Opium War made them a lot of money, and they were even more eager after tasting the sweetness.

Now there is another secession country that is in opposition to the Manchus, and they feel that it is profitable. Although some countries openly expressed their support for the Manchus, they had secretly begun to make initial contacts with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Especially the missionaries in the coastal areas of Guangdong and Fujian, when they heard this, they were simply excited, don't want it!

The Christian missionaries in Guangzhou, in particular, were on the verge of tears. Originally, they had a good time preaching in Guangzhou. After all, Shanghai had not yet risen at that time, and Guangzhou was the most open "international metropolis" in China at that time, with diverse cultures and a strong economy, so there were many people who accepted Christianity. As a result, Gothic-style Christian churches have also sprung up everywhere......

It's a pity that after the appearance of the "Dragon God Sect", there were fewer and fewer people in Guangzhou who believed in Christianity. Why?

Because it is said that the "dragon god" worshiped by the Dragon God Sect is real, and it is in Guangzhou. There were some very devout fanatics who even had the opportunity to meet him in person! When I came back, I was so excited that I fainted, and I described it to other believers, relatives and friends around me.

It is said to be a five-clawed dragon covered in golden light! It's much more real than the real dragon emperor in Beijing! There are even rumors that the "Dragon God" of the Dragon God Sect has a much higher status in the sky than the "Son of Heaven"! What's more, it seems that the one sitting in Beijing right now is a little unjustifiable......

Therefore, according to the status of the immortals, the dragon god of the Dragon God Sect gave an order, and the one in the palace of Beijing City had to get out!

At the beginning, there were not many such folk rumors, because after all, after being oppressed for so many years, everyone's authority over the emperor was almost deep-rooted. Once it is disrespectful, being known by the government or soldiers is a big crime of raiding the family and exterminating the clan!

But later, everyone gradually found out that it seemed that the government in Guangzhou didn't care about this matter at all. Even the soldiers patrolling the streets did not react to this. Even sometimes some big soldiers and small leaders will come over to talk and laugh with the common people, and joke that when Lord Ryujin gives an order, he will depose the unkind ruler and so on......

And this circumstance, in turn, confirms these rumors.

At this point, there's nothing to worry about! So this is almost a tacit fact that the believers of the Dragon God Sect in Guangzhou have in mind.

There is nothing the Christian missionaries can do about this God who exists "on earth." Although they were also curious about what this so-called dragon god was, they didn't dare to look at it or think about it.

Because Christianity is also a very political religion. The first and sixth of their important text, the Ten Commandments of Moses, is "Thou shalt have no other gods before me"! It is conceivable that this Christian God is very domineering. There are so many gods and goddesses in China......

So in the minds of Christians, in addition to "God" being God, Jesus is "the Son of God". Everything else that has magic power is an evil god, a pagan thing, and it is to be destroyed!

Naturally, the Christian missionaries in Guangdong did not dare to say anything about "destroying the Dragon God" -- the Dragon God Sect was already merciful and tolerant enough if it did not eliminate them. Therefore, we can only silently endure the bitter consequences of fewer and fewer believers who believe in Christianity and the churches that are becoming more and more empty.

Now it's finally good! In Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou, a country with Christianity as the cornerstone of the country has emerged. How can you not be excited? So a large number of missionaries flocked to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Of course, later facts told them that they thought too much, and the encounter between going to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Guangzhou was not much different......

In the Dragon God Palace, Zhao Wushuang lay on the huge bed, listening to the reports of his subordinates on the current situation. From time to time, a few sentences were interjected to give instructions on the situation in Guangdong and Taiwan.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has stirred up turmoil, and attention at home and abroad has been projected on the three provinces of Guangxi, Yunnan, and Guizhou. On the contrary, the rich and powerful Guangdong has not been paid much attention for a while.

But...... Soon, it will be different!

"Alright, that's all for today. You stand down, the deity is going to cultivate the immortal method. "Since the dragon god has given the order, the high-level officials don't dare to stay any longer, and they all bow respectfully and then exit the dragon god palace.

As soon as they went out, everyone surrounded Yang Ye, Lin Zexu, Chen Liansheng, Xie Lingqing and others. They are currently the most powerful figures on the right in the sect, so naturally everyone wants to ask about the situation.

One of the oracles asked tentatively, "Elder Yang...... What does Ryujin-sama mean...... This, what kind of system will we implement in Guangdong in the future? Lord Ryujin naturally has a high status, much higher than the emperor. Then do we still need an emperor? If so, this emperor ......"

"yes, yes. We in Guangdong, I don't know what Lord Longshen thinks? Is it a direct state, or how to say it? ”

Yang Ye faintly swept the eager eyes of everyone, and only after a long time did he speak: "What are you anxious about?" In a few days, Lord Ryujin will optimize the system of the Heavenly Realm according to the actual situation in the human world and send it to everyone to watch. Let the printing house do the printing, and even the lowest-ranking soldiers must have one copy in their hands. (To be continued.) )
