Summary: Breaking the red cliff, a church appeared in front of the eyes of the Hunan army. Zeng Guofan had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly wanted to see what the Yiren church looked like.

In the kitchen of the church, Zeng Guofan never imagined that Bao Chao would smash the wall with a pot, but he smashed a new light for the Hunan army......

The day is about to dawn, the battle is basically over, and the people in the city are going out of their homes to find out who will win or lose.

Zeng Guofan had already transcribed hundreds of notices in advance to reassure the people, and gave death orders to each battalion: as long as the Taiping army defending the city was wiped out, he would quickly withdraw from the city, and he would not disturb the people or delay.

After Zeng Guofan was convinced that all the Taiping troops in the city had been killed, he took only one battalion of Bao Chao and surrounded the church. Because this church was built by the Taiping army, Zeng Guofan suspected that the Taiping army was hidden inside.

The door of the church was quickly opened, and to Zeng Guofan's and Bao Chao's surprise, there were more than a dozen red-haired and blue-eyed Yiren who walked out of it!

As soon as these Yiren opened the door, they screamed at the door, looking very annoyed, which startled Xiangyong outside the door.

Bao Chao asked Zeng Guofan for instructions on what to do.

Zeng Guofan thought about it for a while, and then whispered to Bao Chao for a while, and Bao Chao forcibly bombarded these Yi people into a corner.

Bao Chao led the people to rush into the building first and slowly patrolled inside.

It's a small three-storey building with very shabby decorations. Bao Chao led people to search up and down, and found a few more Yi women, and then they were no longer seen.

Bao Chao strode out of the church and said to Zeng Guofan: "My lord, there is no long hair, all of them are Yiren." It looks like it's a church. ”

When Zeng Guofan heard this, he had a flash of inspiration, and suddenly wanted to see what the Yiren church looked like, so he said to Bao Chao: "Chunting, I'll also take a look at the church." You lead the way. ”

Bao Chao led Zeng Guofan into the church, and Xiao Fusi followed behind the two with more than a dozen personal soldiers in case of accidents.

Walking into the church hall, Zeng Guofan was startled first. For he saw a man, stripped naked, nailed to a pillar facing him, with his head crooked, and thinking that he had been dead for a long time.

Zeng Guofan couldn't bear to look at it anymore, turned his face to the side and said, "How can Yiren be so cruel? Fu Si, let him down. ”

Xiao Fusi hurriedly led two people over, touched it with his hand and said, "My lord, it's not a real person, it's a stone man, it's very hard." ”

Zeng Guofan was stunned, turned his head and took a closer look, and found that it was not true, so he moved his steps inside.

Zeng Guofan sighed at the Yiren's artifacts as he walked, but he only didn't touch them, and walked back slowly until he reached the end of the second floor.

At the end of the first floor, in the room that seemed to be the kitchen, Zeng Guofan looked at the Yiren cooking utensils attentively, and saw that they were all shiny and shining, just like the silver cast, and said: "Yiren utensils, sure enough!" ”

Bao Chao grabbed a mouthful of black pot casually and said: "Without these bewitchments, how dare Long Hair make such a fuss!" ”

After Bao Chao finished speaking, he threw the black pot splitter against a wall, but when he heard the bang, he really smashed a big hole into the wall, and strangely the pot was not broken.

Bao Chao bent down to pick up the pot, and said while looking at it: "It's weird!" My old Bao's strength is not as good as before? ”

Bao Chao spit out a mouthful of saliva, picked up the pot with one hand and was about to fall again.

Zeng Guofan hurriedly gestured with his hand, walked quickly to the wall, and touched the big pit with his hand and said, "How can the brick wall be concave so big?" As he spoke, he knocked on the wall with his hand, and before he could see how crisp the wall sounded.

Zeng Guofan turned around and said to Xiao Fusi: "Fusi, you come up with two people, this wall is empty!" ”

Two pro-soldiers ran up and only picked up a brick, and Bao Chao exclaimed: "Alas, it's really empty!" Adults are clever! ”

A large hole was made in the wall, and one of the soldiers lit a torch and touched it. Xiao Fusi was afraid of an accident, so he asked five people to follow in.

After the five people entered, Bao Chao put his head in to take a look and said, "My lord, this is an authentic!" It's deep. ”

Zeng Guofan hurriedly said: "Chunting, take your head out quickly, don't have long hair in it!" ”

Bao Chao retracted his head and said, "My lord, I'll let them bring the big cannon over." Just stand here, hit him all at once! There are really hundreds of long hairs hidden here, don't do a bad thing! ”

Zeng Guofan was about to speak, when a personal soldier suddenly popped out of the wall and said, "My lord, there is no one underground, it's all wooden boxes!" ”

Zeng Guofan said to his soldiers: "Hold here, no one is allowed to enter." ”

After Zeng Guofan finished speaking, he ordered someone to light the torch again, so he took Bao Chao and Xiao Fusi, and walked step by step.

After going inside, I walked for a while, and suddenly a large iron gate appeared in front of me; Entering the iron gate, there was a large basement—not dry, but not damp—and a few soldiers were circling around a large pile of wooden boxes, two or three hundred of them, large and small.

Zeng Guofan left two of his own soldiers and let the other three guard outside the iron gate.

After the three pro-soldiers walked out, Zeng Guofan motioned to the pro-soldiers to open the wooden box, but unexpectedly, it was filled with straw.

Bao Chao stared at his round eyes and said: "These Yi people, I don't know what to do for a day!" Straw in wooden boxes! ”

Zeng Guofan poked in with his hand and felt a hard thing; Slowly peeling the grass away, it turned out to be several large copper pipes, much like the barrels in front of the artillery.

Zeng Guofan asked his soldiers to nail the wooden boxes again, and then said to Bao Chao: "Chunting, transfer all your battalion of men and horses, and move these boxes out of the church first." Get some carts from all over the place and get them all out of the city as quickly as possible; When the cart was full, it was carried by four people with a pole. All transported back to Yueyang! The sooner the better! - Also, don't leak the slightest rumor. ”

Zeng Guofan was not sure what these jet-black and oily iron tools were. But one thing is for sure, it won't be ordinary people's things. (End of chapter)
