Chapter 22 Three years later
The Qing Dynasty is quite lively now.
Luling Mansion has mobilized tens of thousands of Qing troops and countless firearms. It has become like this. Such a big thing has happened. How can it not be lively?
All states and prefectures are discussing these matters.
"Have you heard it? The young king of the Taiping Army is the reincarnation of a god."
"No, their old kings are not reincarnated by gods. When they meet the Qing army, they will only have a dead end, just like us ordinary people. Can their young kings go beyond me?" Someone immediately expressed his doubts.
"In theory, that's the case. But you really don't know what happened in Luling Mansion. A major incident happened in Luling Mansion. I heard that the Qing army mobilized tens of thousands of people just to deal with the young king of the Taiping Army. It is said that hundreds of thousands of bullets were used."
"There are still things like this."
"This happened so big, I can still fool you."
"Tell me, what's going on?" The listener also felt energetic.
"I will tell you. I heard that after this young king was driven out by Tianjing, he became a god. He claimed to be the Holy Father, the Holy Son. He knew about the Holy Father, the Holy Son. The Holy Father is said to be the God of the West, which is what we call a god. It is equivalent to him calling himself a god. The Qing court and the Taiping Army have always been mortal enemies, so how can we believe in his tricks?"
"I sent thousands of people to chase him. Among them, I heard that there were thousands of musketeers, but they were defeated by the Young Heavenly King alone. It is said that this Young Heavenly King is really a god. Sword and Spear cannot hurt him. Even if he was shot with a Western musket, he would only hurt a small mouth. It was simply amazing."
"The Qing court felt something was wrong, and this person must be eliminated. So he wanted to pull Chi, Li Xiucheng, Shang Yanyan to lead the snake out of the cave and kill the young heavenly king. If it were to say, this young heavenly king, also a god with affection and righteousness, appeared. It is said that in that battle, the Qing army dispatched tens of thousands of musketeers. Tsk tsk, although the Qing court claimed to have hundreds of thousands of soldiers, the real new army musketeers were only tens of thousands."
"For a young king, so many people were dispatched."
"What about the end?"
"In the end, I heard that the Young Heavenly King died at the hands of the Qing court. But, hehe, the Qing court did not end well, it is said that the casualties and injuries are quite heavy. Moreover, according to the people from the Taiping Army, their Young Heavenly King, the two-in-one god, said that he would be reborn."
What the Qing court discussed was naturally not ordinary people.
But members of the Nian Army.
The Nian Army was a force against the Qing Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty and existed for more than ten or twenty years.
Of course, other states and prefectures also discussed this matter quietly, but it was not as direct as the Nian Army, and the Qing court was discussed quietly in private.
Some superstitiously say that even the Qing court dared to kill gods, and if they were brave enough, they would be retribution.
Some smart people also said that the Taiping Army said that the young king would be reborn, and that the tricks of cheating are, no matter how powerful you are, you will die and will not be reborn.
The discussion tide only calmed down a little after a few months.
Next, the main energy of the Qing army was to eliminate the remnants of the Taiping Army. In history, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed in 1864, and the remnants were also cleaned up in 1866.
However, unlike in history, this time, because of He Xuan, Li Xiucheng, one of the two generals in the late Taiping Army, survived. The Zhong King Li Xiucheng, in terms of his ability to lead troops to fight, was not inferior to Zeng Guofan and others, and could even be said to be above Zeng's head shaving level.
At the beginning, he was hitting the crowd with Zeng Shaved.
The reason why they lost in the later period is simple. The foreigners supported the Qing court, not the Taiping Army.
Foreigners gave Zeng Guofan a large number of advanced weapons.
In this way, the Taiping Army lost.
Li Xiucheng's ability was already strong, and he absorbed some advantages of the Tiandihui and fought guerrillas with the Qing court, which made the Qing court run for three years and had not yet eliminated the remnants of the Taiping Army.
Seeing that the Qing court was so weak, anti-Qing forces in various places also flourished, such as the Nian Army mentioned above, the White Lotus Sect that came out to operate in troubled times, the revived Xiaodao Society, etc.
...
And these three years.
After the Spring Festival, Chen Qingzhu, also the head of the Tiandihui Society, always believed that the Young Heavenly King would definitely return, and at the same time, she also managed the Tiandihui Society. She knew that missing him could not help the Young Heavenly King.
Only in her hands can the heaven and earth become stronger and stronger, and can we help the young king.
But the person who blocked the development of the world was Nanxiangwen.
That's right, it's the son of Nan Xiangtian, the younger brother of Nan Xiangwu, who was the former deputy helm leader.
After this person escaped, because he knew too much about the methods of the Tiandihui, he had a lot of money from the Qing court, and he occasionally acquired some Tiandihui figures to destroy the Tiandihui branch.
Chen Qingzhu couldn't help but feel annoyed when she mentioned Nan Xiangwen.
She had long wanted to kill Nan Xiangwen.
However, Nan Xiangwen is a very cunning figure, and it is too difficult to catch him.
However, Chen Qingzhu got a tip, saying that Nan Xiangwen had appeared in Taihang Mountains recently. It is said that Nan Xiangwen went to buy a branch leader named Li Yi, but Li Yi was a loyal and honest elder, and he handed over the news about Nan Xiangwen to the headquarter.
Chen Qingzhu himself is now near Taihang Mountain, so he simply slapped his horse and rushed to Taihang Mountain. With the help of Li Yi, Nan Xiangwen surrounded in a small courtyard.
"This time, thanks to Elder Li Yi. If it weren't for you, it would be difficult to seize this Nanxiangwen." Chen Qingzhu let out a long sigh: "Nanxiangwen has mastered too many secrets of our Heaven and Earth Association. The losses caused to our Heaven and Earth Association in recent years are too great."
"Nan Xiangwen really can't stay. How many brothers from the branch died because of him." Li Yi was over 60 years old and had a gray-bearded hair. When he talked about this, he was still full of anger.
"God has eyes, and finally caught Nan Xiangwen."
Chen Qingzhu sneered and shouted to the house built in the mountains: "Nan Xiangwen, come out too. Over the past three years, you have harmed countless brothers in our world. Today, you will eventually pay the blood debt."
As soon as she shouted, there were about a dozen Tiandihui brothers who used muskets, pointing guns into the house.
The original Tiandihui always used swords and the like, but now it has begun to change, and it is on a large scale.
Western muskets are difficult to get, but the earthen muskets made in China are not difficult to get.
No matter what, it is more powerful than a sword.
"It seems that you think you're going to be the one who can win me. Chen Qingzhu and Chen's leader." In the eyes of everyone, Nan Xiangwen finally came out.
At this time, everyone, including Nan Xiangwen and Chen Qingzhu, did not notice that a little light had appeared more than ten meters above his head.
That is...the light of God!
