Chapter 26 The Current Situation of the Taiping Army
The Taiping army, although there are still tens of thousands of troops.
However, after all, it cannot be compared with the Qing court.
was driven away by the Qing court and fled everywhere.
In the end, most of the Taiping army moved to Duwan.
In the past, Zheng Chenggong moved to Duwan, taking advantage of the gap between the sea and the mainland, and resisted the attack of the Qing army for a long time. Now, the loyal king Li Xiucheng is just learning from the same.
In addition, in Fujian, Guangdong, and Shandong, there were many Taiping armies that continued to resist the Qing court.
Stay Bay Province.
Li Xiucheng, the king of loyalty, was groaning, his life was quite comfortable now, and the sailors of the Qing court were like that, it was too difficult and difficult to hit Duwan. The Qing court also blocked materials at the beginning, but what is the use of the blockade, this place can go to Southeast Asia to buy and sell materials, and it is not afraid of the blockade of the Qing court.
The only trouble is how to counterattack the Qing court.
Headache!
At this moment, a soldier ran in: "Loyal to the king, loyal to the king, great joy, great joy." ”
The soldier told him what happened in Taihang Mountain, and when he heard it, Li Xiucheng, the king of loyalty, couldn't help laughing: "Okay, good, good, the young king has finally been reborn." And it is the rebirth of the real gods, and it will be well publicized to make everyone happy. ”
"Now we will wait for the return of the Young Heavenly King, and then counterattack the Qing court. ”
The news soon spread in the province of Dull Bay.
The soldiers of the Taiping Army in the middle and lower classes, when they heard the news, were stunned one by one, and they were full of excitement and joy. Great! Really great! The Young Heavenly King will indeed be reborn, and the Young Heavenly King is indeed a god.
What Qing court, no matter how many soldiers and horses.
So what?
There are gods on my side, gods who are invulnerable to bullets, gods who can be reborn!
One by one, they were extremely excited.
They all fantasized about counterattacking the Qing court, killing Zeng Guofan and others, and avenging the friends and brothers of the Taiping Heavenly Army.
......
And what is He Xuan doing now?
He ran straight to the province of Dumb Bay. After all, it was the territory of the Taiping Army.
This time, sometimes I walked in the mountains and forests, and sometimes in order to save time, I also passed directly through the county seat. But on the way, no matter where it passed, no one attacked, as if it was not within the line of defense of the Qing army.
There is Leng Touqing, who wanted to send troops to deal with He Xuan, but was immediately stopped: "You want to die, that's a god, a god, haven't you heard that when you were in Taihang Mountain, those people used bullets to shoot, but they couldn't even hit him three feet around him, so he was rebounded? ”
"What should I do then?" asked Leng Touqing.
"Anyway, we don't have many soldiers and horses, and even fewer troops with Western muskets, so we will send them out of the country, and we can't see what to do. The more shrewd Shangguan said calmly.
"Anyway, everyone is like this, and they can't pretend they can't see this person. ”
By now, the Qing court has come to an understanding.
Cold weapons are useless to He Xuan.
Western muskets may be useful, but they are not good if they are few in number, and at least a few thousand people are needed. However, the Qing court only had a total of tens of thousands of new troops, and tens of thousands of Hunan troops were equipped with muskets, most of these troops were stationed near Beijing, as well as other departments, and there were not many musket troops in ordinary places.
Therefore, it caused He Xuan's unimpeded travel.
......
A month later.
The sea is vast.
Above the sea.
A flat boat, carrying He Xuan, Chen Qingzhu and others, went to Duwan.
After arriving at Duwan Bay, there are many small castles along the coastline, on which the Taiping army is stationed.
And the loyal king Li Xiucheng, Yang Fuqing and others are waiting on the coastline. There are also Shang Yanyan after summer, Dong Xiaomiao and others after winter.
Seeing He Xuan, these people all brushed their hands: "See the Young Heavenly King." ”
The Taiping Army did not have as many rules as the Qing court.
You don't need to kneel at every turn.
The subordinate faces the superior, as long as he bows down and bows his hand, it is enough.
That's a huge step forward.
And Shang Yanyan, the queen of summer, and Dong Xiaomiao, the queen of winter, threw themselves directly into He Xuan's arms, and both of them shed tears, they waited for He Xuan for too long and too long. They were afraid that He Xuan would not be able to be reborn, and it would really be over.
He Xuan calmed the two of them before smiling slightly and turning to the others.
"You don't need to be polite. ”
Li Xiucheng said excitedly: "Three years ago, the Young Heavenly King would rather sacrifice himself than save his ministers, and the ministers are grateful. ”
"You don't have to thank me so much. I also have a way to be born again, so I can save you. He Xuan smiled slightly: "You have been maintaining the situation of the Taiping Army all these years, and you have worked hard. ”
"It's not hard, it's not hard. Li Xiucheng and the others nodded again and again.
"Since the Young Heavenly King is here, the ministers have already prepared a banquet for the Young Heavenly King to receive the wind and wash the dust. ”
"Good. ”
At this time, Duwan Province was still quite backward, with a lot of uninhabited areas. Large expanses of green forests look quite pristine.
Soon came to the second floor of a house that was not luxurious or too simple, and soon someone presented dishes one by one. Most of the food here is seafood. Duwan Province is surrounded by the sea, and there is a lot of seafood.
The taste of these dishes is quite good.
The group ate and drank, drank for thirty years, and had five flavors of food.
Li Xiucheng suddenly said: "Young Heavenly King, I heard that this time, after you returned from rebirth, the Qing soldiers used to shoot at you. But if it doesn't get three feet into your body, the bullets bounce one after another. Isn't that stronger than it was three years ago? With such skills. The whole world can also be obtained. ”
"In this way, isn't it time for us to counterattack the Qing court. ”
"Nope. He Xuan shook his head: "You think too simply, my current strength, in fact, has not advanced compared to three years ago." The so-called bullet hit me three feet around me, and it was directly rebounded, which is also a temporary phenomenon, and I can't do it again now. ”
"However, as soon as Taihang Mountain performed, the Qing court couldn't figure out my reality now. It gives us some time to recuperate, and it allows me to continue to get stronger. ”
"Just stay there for now. ”
At the beginning, Li Xiucheng, the loyal king, was a little disappointed, it turned out that the young king was not really unable to hit the bullet, it was about the same as three years ago. That kind of strength is not very useful in a large-scale battle of tens of thousands of people.
However, hearing that He Xuan could continue to become stronger, this made his eyes light up, this is great, sooner or later, the Young Heavenly King will become the strongest and counterattack the Qing court.
Rebuild the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
In the following days, He Xuan continued to be active on Duwan Island, and from time to time asked people to beat himself with Western muskets, but it was still the same, Western muskets could hurt themselves, and it seemed that they would continue to become stronger.
