"Underground society? Is it in charge of mining?"
"Tao, there are indeed many miners in Chen Erzhou who have joined our Taiping Army! But..."
Wu Ruxiao, Wang Yan, Zhang San, Xu Xianggui, and Huang Shicheng, the "quick lecturers" who were in charge of the Chamber of Commerce, Farmers' Association, secret halls and logistics in Luo Yaoguo's Angel Mansion, didn't understand what Archangel Luo was talking about for a moment? They thought Luo Yaoguo was
We need to establish a "meeting" that specializes in mining, similar to the Chamber of Commerce and the Farmers' Association.
"No, no," Luo Yaoguo hurriedly shook his head, "That's not what the underground society means, but the underground worship of God... It is the branch, main hall, and branch hall of the secret worshiping God society in Qingyao's territory.
, branch hall and other synagogues.
Our God-Worshiping Society is now inseparable from the Taiping Army. Only with the Taiping Army can we have the God-Worshiping Society. Without the Taiping Army, there is no God-Worshiping Society. However, the Taiping Army is not yet able to go everywhere and stay everywhere.
And I hope that the God Worshiping Association can open branches, main halls, branch halls, and branch halls in places beyond the reach of the Taiping Army. These halls can also publicize the ideas of the God Worshiping Association, attract like-minded heroes, and penetrate into the Qing Dynasty.
The government and army of the demon."
"Isn't this the same as the Heaven and Earth Society and the White Lotus Sect?"
"Teacher, our secret hall seems to do these things. Now that I have a secret hall, do I need to establish any underground society?"
Luo Yaoguo nodded lightly: "Xianggui, Sanxiang, what you two said makes some sense, but it is not entirely correct. The underground society is somewhat similar to the Tiandihui and the White Lotus Sect, and it may be necessary to rely on their strength to develop. At the same time, the underground society
There should also be secrecy similar to a dark hall.
But the Underground Society is different from the Heaven and Earth Society, the White Lotus Sect, and the Dark Hall.
First, the underground society cannot be as loose as the Heaven and Earth Society or the White Lotus Sect. There must be a strict superior-subordinate relationship. In this regard, it must be the same as the open God-worshiping society. Secondly, the underground society cannot be as small and powerful as the secret hall.
It cannot be directly managed by the lecturer group, but spread out layer by layer according to the level of the God Worship Association."
He said a lot of things, but the people below seemed to understand. Luo Yaoguo's eyes lightly swept over, taking in their expressions one by one, and then smiled and said: "Okay, that's all.
More... It's still the old method, pilot first, then summarize, and finally promote.
When a Changsha main church is established in Zhuzhou Town this time, preparations must be made for some branch churches and branch churches to be moved underground at any time.
Therefore, we must try to develop a group of members who are not open to the public. It is best to have some identity to cover one or two, so as to ensure that when the Taiping Army withdraws from Changsha, the underground God Worship Association can still operate." "Yes!"
A few people didn't quite understand what Luo Yaoguo wanted to do. But now the execution ability of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the God Worship Association is very strong, especially since Luo Yaoguo is one of the four "living fathers" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so since he has given instructions,
Some specific implementation methods were also explained. Wu Ruxiao, Wang Yan, Zhang San, Xu Xianggui, Huang Shicheng, Huang Shouren and others will naturally find ways to advance.
Su Sanniang climbed onto the city wall at this time, stepped forward, leaned into Luo Yaoguo's ear, and whispered: "Angel, there is news from Changsha!" Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and asked the people on the left and right to step back first, and then looked at Su Sanniang: "Say!"
Su Sanniang whispered: "A thousand and eight banner soldiers and three thousand Ganshan green battalions have come to Changsha City, and there is also a powerful Western lama who claims to be able to deal with you, the Bull Demon King!" "Western Lama?" Luo Yaoguo sneered, "To deal with the Bull Demon King... chant sutras or draw talismans?"
"It is said to be Lei Fa." Su Sanniang said and handed over an envelope with both hands.
Luo Yaoguo took out the envelope and took a look. It turned out to be Jiao Hong's handwriting. This Hallmaster Jiao had already sneaked into Changsha City with Xu Yuegui and Boyong, and successfully connected with the Tiandihui in Changsha City, so he was able to obtain the Qing army A lot of information on this.
According to Jiao Hong's report, there are currently quite a large number of various clear demons in Changsha City. There are a total of 4,000 newly arrived Eight Banners soldiers and Gansu and Shaanxi Green Camps, 2,000 Fubiao from Hunan, and about 5,000 to 6,000 regiments gathered from various places. ...The total military strength is between 11,000 and 12,000. Luo Bingzhang, who was originally acting as governor of Hunan, has now handed over the affairs to Shengbao who led the Eight Banners soldiers and the Gansu and Shaanxi green battalions to Changsha!
There is also a serving minister named Zeng Guofan who has been assigned to handle the Hunan regiment training. It is said that he has already come to Changsha!
Another important official from Hunan named Luo Raodian, who had just completed his duties as a dutiful son, was also sent to Changsha to help with military affairs.
In addition, Luo Bingzhang also has a master named Zuo Zongtang who is also very active now. Before Zeng Guofan and Luo Raodian entered the city, he was the leader of the various regiments in Changsha City.
"Haha," Luo Yaoguo chuckled twice, "Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang, Luo Raodian, and probably people like Luo Zenan and Guo Songtao, right? They've all arrived in Changsha, right? Okay! I'll catch you all in one fell swoop!" His tone was sudden. Fang Shen said: "Sanniang, send the order: The enemy is in Changsha City!"
"Yes!" .. Changsha City, Taiping Street.
Countless low and dilapidated houses are clustered on both sides of this long and narrow old street paved with bumpy bluestones. Dozens of small alleys lead from this long north-south street to the east and west. It extends sideways and intersects with dozens of north-south streets and lanes, forming a dense spider web of streets and lanes covering the southwest corner of Changsha Old City.
This area is not a place where decent people live together. The decent people in Changsha are all in the north of the city. The streets built around the governor's office are relatively spacious and grand, especially the area along the north city wall, where all the houses of dignitaries and gentry are located. .The southwest corner of Changsha City has been a mixed place since ancient times, with three religions and nine streams gathering here. All walks of life make a living in this low and narrow streets.
But in fact, the one who ruled this area, I don’t know how many years ago, was the Tiandihui, not the Shanhua County Government established by the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, the subordinate officials of the county government can come in with the master's letter to do things, but whether the things can be done and whether all the subordinate officials who come in can go out in full order is not the decision of the county magistrate. Now here The one who has the final say is Zhu Jiutao, the master of Chu Yitang of Tiandi Hui.
Although there are more than 10,000 Qing troops in Changsha City, including Eight Banners soldiers, green battalions, and regiments, the sign of Chu Yitang is still hanging on the door of the most luxurious mansion on Taiping Street.
Mr. Zhu Jiutao is already quite old. He has a face that shows his age. His temples are all gray, his eyebrows are almost gone, his bones are protruding, and his eye sockets are sunken. His eyes are always half-open and half-closed. No one knows. What are you planning?
At this moment, Mr. Zhu Jiu was sitting in the lobby with his nine disciples, spinning two iron balls with his left hand and using his eyes that were covered with a layer of light gray due to old age. Son, looked at the two distinguished guests in front of him.
These two distinguished guests were none other than Jiao Hong and Boyong. Jiao Hong was originally the leader of the Tiandihui Military Recruitment Hall, and he and the leader of the Chuyi Hall were both members of the Hongmen family. After sneaking into Changsha City, he naturally contacted these people immediately. Mr. Zhu Jiu, and he proposed a plan to conquer Changsha by combining the inside and outside.
However, after Master Zhu Jiu heard the plan they mentioned, he was completely unmoved, as if he had heard nothing. He did not say that he would cooperate with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in launching an uprising, nor did he say whether Changsha Tiandi would participate in this matter.
In the lobby, the atmosphere was quite strange and gloomy. I don’t know how long it took, but Mr. Zhu Jiu finally coughed and spoke: "I just got the news that the Manchu Assistant Minister Shengbao has sent Xi'an to suppress In Fucheng, Tongguan Xie's deputy general Yin Lipei led 1,500 elite Gansu and Shaanxi green battalions out of the city to lure the enemy to the stone horse formation in the south of the city.
