Chapter 301 It’s bad, foreigners are beginning to believe in worshiping God! (Please order and vote)
"Work together?"
Yang Xiuqing narrowed one eye and looked at French Minister Bourbron: "Mr. Bu, do you, the French Emperor, welcome my ninth brother of the prophet to go to Rome and become a patriarch?"
As soon as Zhao Fangji translated this, Bulbulon nodded immediately: "Of course, if it can be proven that he is a prophet, the French Emperor will definitely support him as the Patriarch of Rome!"
The Roman Pope was nothing more than a tool to the French Emperor!
If a true prophet becomes the Pope of Rome, wouldn't it mean that the French emperor has a prophet who can figure things out? Wouldn't Napoleon III be invincible in this way?
So without asking for instructions, Bulbulon knew that his Majesty the Emperor would definitely try his best to get this prophet into his hands.
When Yang Xiuqing saw Bulbulon nodding, the smile on his face could no longer be concealed, and he said with a smile: "In that case, of course I support him going to Rome to become the Patriarch. How do you want to prove that he is? Prophet? Can the second volume of the "Prophet" prove it? As long as 10,000 foreign guns are shipped to Guazhoubu, I can hand over the second volume of the "Prophet" to you."
Zhao Fangji added: "Your Highness, King Dong, in addition to the Book of the Prophet, the Ministry of Heretics of the Holy See and the French government will also send commissioners to Shanghai to conduct secret investigations. I hope you can provide convenience."
He did not tell Yang Xiuqing that the investigators sent by the Holy See's Ministry of Heretics and the French government were here to investigate whether Luo Yaoguo was a devil. If the content in the second volume of the "Book of the Prophets" is still accurate, then he is either a devil or a prophet!
After confirming that Luo Yaoguo is a prophet, the plan to "ask" Prophet Luo to become the Pope of Rome can begin.
"Easy to say, easy to say!" Yang Xiuqing nodded heavily and said, "I'll take care of this!"
Shanghai County, Yangshupu Pier.
Following the chants of "Hey yo, Hey yo", a sedan with "three rooms and one living room" was being carefully carried to the shore from a huge dragon-headed wooden boat by dozens of bearers.
On the shore, Wang Kuiyi, Wang Dalong, and Xu Yuegui all had gloomy faces, looking in embarrassment at the iconic sedan carried by sixty-four people as it slowly moved from the ship to the shore. And there was another dragon-headed ship behind it. There are ten large sand ships, all of which are female Taiping soldiers in yellow clothes and red scarves, carrying foreign guns.
Didn’t King Hong Tian say he wanted to have a “private visit incognito”?
Isn’t this a little too grand?
There is still a sign of the Qing Dynasty hanging on the beach in Shanghai. How can Luo Xueyan step down when he drives here in such a swagger? Besides, Prince Gong and Prince Yi are still in Shanghai, living next door to Yang Xiuqing!
How to cover this up?
Will the three of them have a fight on the beach?
Just when Wang Kuiyi, Wang Dalong and Xu Yuegui were at a loss, Bian Sanniang, the female battalion commander and imperial guard beside Hong Xiuquan, had already pressed the hilt of her sword and walked out of the dragon boat in a swaggering manner. Holding a scroll, he glanced at Wang Kuiyi, Wang Dalong and Xu Yuegui: "Where is His Highness King Wu?"
Xu Yuegui cupped her hands and said, "Reporting to Guard Bian, His Highness the King of Wu is leading his troops to attack Huzhou. Jiaxing officials have already sent people to invite him, and they should return to Shanghai soon. But I didn't expect the King of Heaven to come so quickly!"
As she spoke, she glanced at the large sedan chair carried by sixty-four people that had been leveled on the shore: "Are we going to bow down to the King of Heaven now?"
Bian Sanniang smiled: "The King of Heaven is not on the sedan chair now!"
Xu Yuegui raised her hand and pointed at the big sedan and asked, "Not there? That's on the sedan."
Bian Sanniang said: "This is the tablet of the Heavenly Father, Emperor Hao!"
"The memorial tablet of Heavenly Father Hao, Emperor Hao?" Xu Yuegui was stunned, "This is"
Bian Sanniang raised her eyebrows: "Now that Luo Xueyan has also worshiped God, shouldn't there be a memorial tablet to Emperor Hao on the beach in Shanghai?"
As she spoke, she raised the scroll in her hand: "This is the true decree of the King of Heaven, which is to build a temple to worship God in Shanghai, so that brothers and sisters from China and foreign countries can come together to worship God!"
The King of Heaven originally meant to ask King Wu to arrange it. Now that King Wu is not here, you should arrange a place with good Feng Shui to enshrine the tablet of God, Heavenly Father Hao. Speaking of which, it was you, King Wu, who erected this tablet! "
Xu Yuegui heard what Bian Sanniang said and thought that was the case.
However, she couldn't make up her mind, so she had to look back at Wang Kuiyi and Wang Dalong.
Wang Kui said: "Sister Yuegui, the Beiguan Yamen of Jianghaiguan has just been renovated and is still empty. The place has good feng shui and a good location, right between the county seat and the new district."
Wang Dalong also said: "Sister Yue Gui, I will immediately order people to guard the Bund Avenue so that the memorial tablet of God, Father Hao, can pass."
"Okay!" Xu Yuegui nodded, then turned around and asked Bian Sanniang, "Third sister, do you think this arrangement is good?"
"Okay, that's it."
"Ding ding dong, ding ding dong"
A sound of gongs and drums was suddenly heard in the British Legation on the Bund. Minister Wenxian, who was discussing with the chief executives of Jardine and Baoshun Company to arrange the paddle boat sailing north to Tianjin, felt a little strange and looked back. My secretary Li Taitai: "Go and have a look."
The latter was a young man in his early twenties. Because he had lived in China with his father who was a consul since he was a child, and he could speak fluent Chinese, he became Wenxian's secretary. After receiving Wenxian's order, he immediately went to He looked at the window, and then he was shocked and said: "Oh God, it seems that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has entered the city!"
"What? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has entered Shanghai? This" Wen Xian was surprised.
"Isn't this too fast?"
"They won't burn our opium, will they?"
The two senior managers of foreign companies were also shocked.
Wen Xian stood up suddenly, walked quickly to the window, and looked out, and saw many Taiping soldiers in red scarves and yellow clothes holding flags, beating gongs and drums, and surrounding a particularly large sedan along the Bund. The main road came in a mighty manner.
On the side of the road, the soldiers of the Shanghai New Army have set up posts every five steps and one sentry every ten steps, placing alerts along the way.
"Go down and have a look!"
Wen Xian said something, then strode out of the office, and then flew out of the gate of the British Legation to the Bund road outside.
Many people have gathered on the roadside of the Bund to watch the excitement, including Chinese and foreigners. Some of the Chinese are wearing "Qing Dynasty clothes", some are similar to those of the Taiping Army, and there is even one wearing a Western-style corset. A young Chinese woman with a puffy skirt and a very hot figure stands next to a middle-aged Chinese man in yellow clothes and hat.
At this time, the particularly large sedan chair was approaching, surrounded by many Taiping soldiers. Only then did Wen Xian discover that the Taiping soldiers were all female soldiers. The crowd distributed books.
"Read the True Covenant, worship God, and go to heaven."
A female warrior from the Kingdom of Heaven who was seventeen or eighteen years old and quite handsome walked up to Wenxian and others, said a few words in Hakka Mandarin that he could not understand at all, and then handed him a thread-bound book. Wenxian picked up the book. After looking at it, he saw Chinese characters printed on the cover, which he didn't recognize.
"Sir, this is the True Testament of the Bible." Li Taitai also had a similar book in his hand. Of course he knew the words on the cover of the book.
"The True Testament of the Bible?" Wen Xian was surprised: "They came to Shanghai to preach?"
"I think so," said Li Taitai. "Actually, there are already many followers of the True Testament Sect here in Shanghai."
"True Testament Sect?" This was the first time Wen Xian had heard of this "Sect". He picked up the thread-bound book in his hand and asked, "You mean they believe this?"
"Yes, look, there are already people kneeling down to that big sedan over there!"
Li Taitai raised his finger and pointed across the road on the Bund. Wen Xian looked in the direction of his finger. Sure enough, there were several blond, blue-eyed, pale-skinned Westerners kneeling on one knee in front of the big sedan, and they were still licking their chests. Making the sign of the cross in front of you looks particularly pious.
"How is this possible?" Wen Xian murmured, "How can anyone believe in such a ridiculous religion?"
Li Taitai whispered: "Sir, have you forgotten the "Great Book of Prophecy"?"
Wenxian stood there blankly on the spot.
He had remembered that he seemed to have signed an agreement allowing the spread of God-worshiping religions in the British Empire.
"Hahaha, there are really many foreign brothers who believe that I am the true second son of God!"
Not far from Wenxian, Hong Xiuquan, who was visiting incognito, was already smiling from ear to ear.
Hong Xuanjiao and Meng Deen, who were following him, had one thought in their minds - how much money did Luo Yaoguo's people spend to hire those foreign devils who kowtowed to the big sedan chair?
It’s not surprising that they have such an idea. After all, no one in Guangxi believes in worshiping God. There are even no believers in Guangdong, Hong Xiuquan’s hometown. How can it confuse foreigners? As for the "Book of Prophets" and the "Book of Great Prophecy", what are they? Yes, it talks about overseas affairs and has nothing to do with China, so it is impossible to use it to deceive the Chinese people.
Before Hong Xuanjiao and Meng Deen could figure out what was going on, Hong Xiuquan spoke again: "Let's go and have a look. How about the incense in my God Worshiping Church?"
