Chapter 318 Taiping Religion spread to Japan, Li Hongzhang learns to dance (please order, please vote)
Tianjing City, Tianwang Mansion,
Time flies so fast, it has been a full month since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Hong Xiuquan returned to his "little paradise" from Shanghai.
I don’t know if it was because he had so much fun in Shanghai last time. After returning to Tianjing, Hong Xiuquan got into his Tianwang Mansion and became an otaku. Every day, besides studying his "True Date", he also interacted with dozens of people.
They play together with the queen. If he still has some free time, he will summon Wei Changhui, Hong Ren, Chen Cheng and Meng Deen in the main hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion to ask about the military affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
The current Tianjing court of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is run by this king and three ministers.
Yang Xiuqing, who was supposed to control the kings, probably knew that he could not control Luo Yaoguo, Xiao Chaogui, and Feng Yunshan, so he simply stayed in Jiangbei and ran his Northern Expedition base with Yangzhou as the center.
Today's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom does not have its own territory, and the "living father" cannot strengthen his waist!
Because of the support from Yangzhou salt merchants and the French, Yang Xiuqing's Jiangbei strategy went extremely smoothly during this period. Yangzhou Mansion,
Tongzhou Prefecture and Haimen Hall have all been pacified!
Although King Yang Dong's territory is not large, half of the Lianghuai Salt Industry now has the surname Yang. Hong Xiuquan in Tianjing City no longer worries about running out of salt.
Yi Wang Shi Dakai and Hu Tianhou Hu Yihuang teamed up to visit Jiangxi. Because Nan Wang Feng Yunshan sent troops from Chenzhou Prefecture to attack Nan'an Prefecture and Ganzhou Prefecture, and surrounded Ganzhou Prefecture's capital city Gan County, Jiangxi Province, which already had limited troops, was
The Qing army was attacked from both sides, and its morale was in chaos.
Therefore, Shi Dakai and Hu Yihuang's troops who invaded Jiangxi from the north have been progressing smoothly during this period. Just a few days ago, the good news that Shi Dakai captured Nanchang Fucheng spread back to Tianjing.
During this period, Jiangxi had not been turned into a piece of white land by the Taiping Army and the Hunan Army. Although it was also going downhill, its heritage was still there. It was rich in rice, porcelain, and ironware. Although it was not as good as Jiangsu, it was not much worse than Zhejiang.
.
After taking over half of Jiangxi, King Hong Tian in Tianjing City no longer worried about running out of rice.
While the Jiangxi campaign was progressing smoothly, the Wannan campaign was also going smoothly under the auspices of Qin Rigang, the Empress of Heaven. Since Hezhou, Wuweizhou, Anqing and other cities in the north of the Yangtze River were captured when Shi Da started his western expedition, the Yangtze River Anqing was
The river in Hui Duan is under the control of the Taiping Army, so Southern Anhui is almost an enclave. If Qin Rigang didn't have only two or three thousand old brothers and more than ten thousand recruits recruited in Tianjing and Taiping Prefecture, he would have captured the entire Southern Anhui.
Already.
As for the southeast of Tianjing, the five prefectures and prefectures such as Su, Song, Tai, Chang, Jia, and Hu were all settled by Luo Yaoguo, so Hong Xiuquan did not need to worry about it. Zhenjiang Prefecture was occupied by Wei Jun who was transferred from Hunan.
Because there is a beach where they can escape, the Taiping Army's progress is also very smooth - who can fight for their lives if they can escape?
Moreover, King Luo Wu is now willing to leave some property to the landlords and gentry in southern Jiangsu. As long as they do not organize group exercises to resist the Taiping Army, then their homes will not be confiscated, their wealth can be taken away, and each household can also leave some "mulberry".
garden".
After the prosperous land around Taihu Lake was returned to Luo Yaoguo, Hong Xiuquan naturally had no shortage of silk, cotton and other supplies.
So now the supply in Tianjing City is improving at a speed visible to the naked eye, and "little paradise" is finally worthy of its name.
However, Hong Xiuquan, who is "in the midst of blessings", is still a little ignorant of his blessings. The main reason is that his last trip to Shanghai was still a bit unfinished. Why didn't he see a beautiful foreign sister who could be brought back to be a foreign queen?
Although there are many foreigners who have converted to the "True Sect" in Shanghai, there are only a few women among them. They are all a bunch of rough guys. Even if there are a few women, they are all elderly aunts...\n
.\n:.\n.\nBut it was a pity that he did not dare to tell Luo Yaoguo and Yang Xiuqing that they were all "living fathers"! Don't turn around and knock the purple gold bowl to summon God! So he
I can only talk to Hong Xuanjiao about this.
I wonder if Hong Xuanjiao can help him handle this matter before returning to Wuchang?
If that doesn't work, you can only ask fifth sister Victoria for help...\n.
"The King of Heaven, Hong Xuanjiao, Queen of the West, and Hong Ren, the Prime Minister of Dongguan, request an audience."
Just when Hong Xiuquan thought about Hong Xuanjiao, a female official suddenly walked in quickly from outside Hong Xiuquan's study to report.
"Oh?" Hong Xiuquan's eyes lit up, "Xuan!"
After a while, Hong Xuanjiao, still "wearing a dress," and Hong Xiuquan's cousin, Hong Ren, who became prime minister as soon as he joined the job, walked in one after the other.
Hong Xuanjiao wanted to satisfy Hong Xiuquan's eyes, so she wore a tight corset and a puffy skirt. She couldn't kneel down, so she had to do a foreign curtsy. Hong Ren respectfully performed three bows and nine kowtows, and then
Instead of standing up, he knelt on the ground.
Hong Xiuquan ignored Hong Ren and asked Hong Xuanjiao with a smile: "Gillian, is this a matter of foreign sisters?
"Tianwang, we can't rush the matter of foreign sisters. There are many foreign brothers in Shanghai, but there are not many foreign sisters. It seems that you have to go to Nanyang to find them," Hong Xuanjiao said with a smile, "and brother Luo Dianyou has to celebrate the New Year.
Only then can I go to Nanyang to organize things for you."
"Oh, then let him hurry up." Hong Xiuquan frowned slightly, "Gillian, ah, why did you enter the Tianwang Mansion today?"
Hearing this, Hong Ren, who had just joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, could not help but frown slightly: "Reporting to the King of Heaven, today we received a report from the Suzhou Military Affairs Office saying that the Japanese Empire in the East has been closed down by British and American gunboats many times, and the country will be founded and annexed next year.
Allowing all religions to worship God to spread freely, this is a good opportunity to spread the true covenant. Therefore, the Imperial Military Commission of Western Affairs petitioned the King of Heaven for permission to spread the religion of worshiping God in Japan, so as to save all Japanese people from fire and water!"
Hong Xiuquan frowned slightly: "The teachings of Nanyang have not been spread yet, but we are about to start spreading the teachings of the East? Are you a little anxious?"
Hong Xuanjiao smiled and said: "Isn't this a rare opportunity? Heavenly King, when it comes to spreading the religion of God worship abroad, the conditions in East Asia are much better than in Nanyang!"
"Oh? What's so good about it?" Hong Xiuquan asked.
"Fortunately, the East has more people and less land, and the conflict between people and land is several times greater than that in China!" Hong Xuanjiao said.
"What? The land in the East is so narrow?" Hong Xiuquan's eyes lit up, "Is the land in the East fertile?"
Hong Xuanjiao shook her head and said with a smile: "It's not fat, it's not fat. There are many mountains in the East but few plains. Only a small plain in Guandong can still be cultivated, but it is much worse than the plains in Guangfu. How about Jiangnan?"
Moreover, the Japanese officials were cruel and tyrannical, not much worse than the Qingyao Manchus. The low-level people in the country must be looking forward to the coming of the Ming Lord day and night to lead them to revolt.
In addition, there were originally God-worshipping religions spread in Japan, but they were strictly prohibited by the shogunate that ruled Japan more than 200 years ago. Now there are no open God-worshipping religions, only secret God-worshipping religions...\n.\n..
.\nIt must have spread beyond recognition. If the "True Covenant" can be spread to Japan by taking advantage of the founding of the country, it will surely gain many believers!"
"Is this what the compatriots' memorial says?" Hong Xiuquan was still a little hesitant.
"Exactly."
Hong Ren immediately took out a memorial to King Wu Luo Yaoguo. Hong Xuanjiao took it and walked to Hong Xiuquan, handing it over with both hands.
Then he whispered: "King of Heaven, Ninth Brother said that the sisters from the West cannot reach the Palace of the King of Heaven for the time being. You can save some sisters from the East first..."
"Rescue...:...we have to save it properly!" Hong Xiuquan raised his eyebrows: "Who do you want our compatriots to ask to go to Japan?"
"How is Hong Daquan?" Hong Xuanjiao asked in a low voice.
"He...\n.\n" Hong Xiuquan thought about it and laughed, "Is this a good liar? Ling Chi can hide from him...\n.\nGo there yourself
, arrange this matter properly! We must let him deceive, no, preach!"
"yes!"
England, London, Brown's Hotel.
One, two, three, one, two, three, turn around...
Accompanied by the melodious waltz played by the piano, on the dance floor of the Brown Hotel, Li Hongzhang, the "secretary" of the Qing Emperor, was dancing gracefully with his arms around a foreigner in his thirties, a handsome foreigner - a foreign brother. There was also a foreign brother around him.
A short, fat bearded man and a tall foreigner with a short beard, as well as Wang Libin, Sushun, Bai Siwen and Yuanbao were watching.
Some of the onlookers didn't know what Li Hongzhang was doing, and even asked Wang Libin about it!
"Lan Qing, what are Shaoquan doing?"
"Sir Hui Su, Shaoquan is going to enter the palace to dance for the long live empress Yingji."
"Dancing? How is this appropriate?"
"Master Su, we have something to ask for now...\n.\n.\n.\n. Purchase arms, rent warships, hire foreign personnel, purchase machinery and equipment...\n.\n.\n. These...
