Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 10 Feng Yunshan: Come to my room tonight!
Therefore, when Xiao Chaogui learned that Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan were in danger, his first reaction was to send people to rescue them.

After listening to Meng De'en's narration, Yang Xiuqing originally thought that this matter was related to Xiao Chaogui.

The reason is simple, because it is just too coincidental!

However, after hearing Xiao Chaogui's statement, Yang Xiuqing's suspicions were immediately dispelled.

Maybe this is just a coincidence!
At least, that's what Xiao Chaogui said now.

Yang Xiuqing lowered his head and pondered for a while, his eyes flashing with a gleam. After a moment, he raised his head and spoke.

"Brother Changhui will lead the troops to rescue the Shanren Village, and Meng De'en will be in charge of leading the army."

"As for Brother Chaogui and I, well, it's best for us to stay in Jintian and take charge of the situation."

Yang Xiuqing was worried about letting Xiao Chaogui lead troops to rescue Hong Xiuquan.

He was afraid that Xiao Chaogui would use this opportunity to reinforce Shanren Village to kill Hong Xiuquan and take over himself.

But if he went there himself, he was afraid that after he left, Wei Changhui would not be able to defeat Xiao Chaogui, and that Jintian Village, the base camp of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, would completely fall under Xiao Chaogui's control.

Therefore, after careful consideration, the only option left was to let Wei Changhui lead his troops to reinforce Shanren Village.

Upon hearing this, Wei Changhui immediately asked for a fight and was very enthusiastic.

Seeing this, Xiao Chaogui did not refuse and nodded.

"Okay, let's do it according to Xiuqing's idea!"

"Send troops to reinforce the Mountain Village as soon as possible..."

By the same token, since Yang Xiuqing and others were aware of Xiao Chaogui's suspicion in this matter, Xiao Chaogui himself must have been aware of it as well.

In order to clear himself of suspicion, Xiao Chaogui naturally behaved more actively.

Big events were about to happen, and Xiao Chaogui understood that now was not the time to intensify the conflict.

……

"Brother Chen, from now on you and I are really going to work together."

"Please take good care of me in the future!"

Li Yi came up to Chen Picheng, who looked confused, clasped his fists and spoke.

Feng Yunshan asked Li Yi what kind of support he needed. Li Yi did not hide it and said directly that he needed some money and manpower to set up a regiment.

After hearing this, Feng Yunshan nodded and agreed.

Not only did he give him 1,000 taels of silver as a reward.

He was also appointed as a brigade commander.

According to the Taiping Army's military system, five people formed a group, five groups formed a liang, four liang formed a soldier, five soldiers formed a brigade, five brigades formed a division, and five divisions formed an army.

The brigade commander can definitely be considered a mid- to high-level military officer.

And Chen Picheng was one of the subordinates assigned to him.

Um, okay, actually Li Yi specifically asked Feng Yunshan for this person.

Feng Yunshan did not refuse this.

Although Chen Picheng was Luo Dagang's man, the relationship between Feng Yunshan and Luo Dagang had always been good. You should know that Luo Dagang was pulled into the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by Feng Yunshan.

Besides, Chen Picheng is still a young man and has not had enough time to make a name for himself.

Since Feng Yunshan came forward to ask for the person, Luo Dagang would naturally not refuse to give him the person.

Chen Picheng's expression looked a little unnatural, but he still clasped his fists and said.

"I have met the kind-hearted commander!"

Li Yi took a few steps forward, patted Chen Picheng on the shoulder, and said with a smile.

"Not so polite!"

"We are all brothers from now on, there is no need to be estranged from each other."

Feng Yunshan, who was standing by, saw this and said with a smile.

"Li Yi, I brought the person you wanted."

"What are you going to do next?"

Li Yi clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Feng, when the siege of Shanren Village is over, I will take my men back to the village to recruit the sons of the villagers as soldiers to fill the vacancies in the brigade."

Even though Feng Yunshan gave Li Yi a brigade, the manpower was limited because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had not yet officially started its army.

Therefore, the brigade assigned to him by Feng Yunshan was not fully staffed, with only over a hundred people. To put it bluntly, it was just an empty shell.

If Li Yi wants to get a fully staffed brigade, he can only rely on himself to recruit soldiers.

Hearing this, Feng Yunshan nodded with satisfaction.

"very good!"

"How about this, if you can raise a fully staffed brigade, I can give you the rank of division commander and let you continue to recruit soldiers. If you can raise a fully staffed division, I can give you the rank of division commander."

The God Worshipping Society is about to revolt, and now is the time when they need manpower to strengthen their momentum.

As long as Li Yi can attract people, he will naturally not be stingy with an empty military position.

Nowadays, military positions in the Church of God are not as valuable as imagined!

Li Yi heard this and said with a happy face.

"Thank you for your care, Mr. Feng. I understand!"

Feng Yunshan smiled and nodded, patted Li Yi on the shoulder, and then said.

"Do a good job, I'm very optimistic about you."

"As long as you can follow the right person, when the anti-Qing cause is accomplished in the future, we will establish the kingdom of heaven on earth, and the future will be limitless."

Feng Yunshan's words have made it very clear that he is very optimistic about Li Yi and wants to win him over.

Whether it was the internal struggle against Xiao Chaogui or the external enemy the Qing Dynasty, Feng Yunshan had many enemies.

So, he knew that he needed to make more friends!

And Li Yi is the person he is now preparing to win over.

Li Yi naturally also heard the intention of winning over Feng Yunshan in his words, and immediately clasped his fists and said.

"From now on, I will follow your lead, sir!"

Feng Yunshan nodded with a smile.

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Come to my room tonight, and I will personally initiate you into the religion and explain the teachings of my God Worshipping Religion to you..."

One thing to be clear is that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was first a religion and then an anti-Qing organization.

To put it bluntly, in the Church of God, only if you join the church can you be considered a member of the church and only then can you be promoted and trained.

If you don't join the religion, you will always be an outsider.

As one of the founders of the God Worshipping Society, Feng Yunshan was willing to humble himself and personally introduce Li Yi to the sect, which shows how much he valued Li Yi.

Li Yi was well aware of this. Although he disdained religious beliefs in his heart, this did not prevent him from temporarily "pretending to be nice" to the God Worshipping Society.

As I said, as long as he is given enough benefits, he will believe in God!
So, when Feng Yunshan said this, Li Yi hurriedly agreed, and his face showed that he was very honored.

Just as the two were talking, a close follower of Hu Yihuang ran over from a distance, came up to Feng Yunshan and spoke.

"Mr. Feng! Mr. Feng!"

"Qing Yao... The Qing Yao army has arrived outside the mountain. My clan leader asks you to go there immediately..."

Shanren Village is located in the Penghua Mountain area of ​​Pingnan County. It is a strategically located village with numerous mountains. There is only one narrow mountain path for entry and exit, and there is no other way out.

Therefore, as soon as the Qing army arrived outside the mountain, they were discovered by the followers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Then he reported it to Hu Yihuang immediately!

Feng Yunshan's expression changed when he heard this, but he still spoke.

"Let's go and have a look!"

Li Yi also followed, following behind Feng Yunshan, and walked out of the mountain.

Seeing this, Chen Picheng stood there in a daze for a moment, then trotted after him.
