Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 18 Hong Xiuquan: Get out of the way, I’m going to start showing off!

After hearing Li Yi pleading for Wang An, Feng Yunshan's favor towards Li Yi increased again.

His view of Li Yi also changed from an ordinary subordinate who was sweet-talking and capable to a close confidant who was worth spending a lot of money to cultivate.

Therefore, he did not mind speaking well of Li Yi in front of Hong Xiuquan.

In Feng Yunshan's opinion, since Li Yi was willing to take the risk to plead for one of his elder uncles in front of Hong Xiuquan because of his past care for him.

He was even willing to use his own achievements to buy him a chance to survive.

It can be seen that Li Yi is a kind and loyal child at heart.

In the eyes of those in higher positions, such loyal and righteous subordinates are the ones who are truly worth cultivating.

After all, no one wants to spend a lot of money, even invest emotional effort, only to raise an ungrateful person who will just follow whoever feeds him, right?

Also, in Feng Yunshan's opinion, Li Yi's request was not excessive.

After all, he had just made a great contribution, and it would be disheartening if Hong Xiuquan flatly rejected his request.

After listening to Feng Yunshan's suggestion, Hong Xiu thought for a while and nodded.

"Since you said so, Yunshan, I will grant Li Yi's request."

Upon hearing this, Li Yi kowtowed excitedly again.

"I thank you, Master, and Mr. Feng..."

Feng Yunshan took a few steps forward with a smile, helped Li Yi up, and then said.

"Get up quickly!"

"You don't need to kneel down all the time. My sect is not a Qing Yao sect, so there are not so many complicated rules."

Feng Yunshan remained amiable, like a wise and gentle elder, without the slightest airs of a superior, which made people unconsciously feel good about him.

Li Yi stood up from the ground and looked at Feng Yunshan with gratitude in his eyes.

This time he was not acting, but was expressing his gratitude from the bottom of his heart!

Feng Yunshan smiled and nodded, pointing at the captives brought in by Wei Changhui and others, and asked.

"Which uncle do you want to intercede for him?"

"Since the leader has agreed to your request, you can take the person down to rest."

Li Yi began to plead with Hong Xiuquan only after he saw Wei Changhui and others escorting several prisoners of war in.

Therefore, Feng Yunshan could naturally judge that the uncle that Li Yi was pleading for was among the prisoners of war escorted by Wei Changhui and others.

Li Yi nodded and said yes.

"My subordinate understands!"

Then he looked at Wang An and strode over.

He first clasped his fists and bowed to Wei Changhui and others as a greeting.

Then he drew his sword, and in front of Wang An's shocked eyes, he cut the ropes that bound Wang An and pulled out the rag that was blocking his mouth.

"Uncle Wang, I'm sorry for making you suffer!"

After doing all this, Li Yi gave Wang An a hug.

When Wang An was hugged by Li Yi, tears welled up in his eyes.

But the expression on his face was a little complicated. He felt relieved after being rescued, but more confused and bewildered...

But since the occasion was not appropriate, he ended up saying nothing and followed Li Yi out of the hall.

After Li Yi took Wang An away, Hong Xiuquan turned his eyes to the other people in the venue.

Upon seeing this, Wei Changhui and Meng De'en bowed together.

"We are late in coming to your rescue, I hope you will forgive me!"

Hong Xiuquan was talking to Li Yi just now, so they didn't interrupt.

But now that Hong Xiuquan was looking at them, they naturally could not ignore it anymore.

Hong Xiuquan laughed loudly and then said.

“Hahaha, not guilty, not guilty!” “Fortunately, with God’s blessing, Li Yi delivered the most critical military intelligence to our sect in advance, and with your timely assistance, we were able to quickly defeat the invading Qing monster.”

"This time, it was a close call. How could there be any crime?"

"Tell me, how many Qing monsters did our army destroy this time? What results did we achieve?"

When saying this, Hong Xiuquan was very excited.

He really couldn't help but be excited.

This was the first time that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had a formal confrontation with the Qing army, and it won a great victory.

This was of great significance to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's anti-Qing cause.

Looking at the excitement on Hong Xiuquan's face, Wei Changhui stood up and said.

"Master, according to the current statistics, our army has beheaded more than 200 Qing demons and captured more than 530 Qing demon prisoners, including Qinchuan Patrol Inspector Zhang Yong, Pingnan County Magistrate Ni Tao, Militia Commander Lin Wei, Xunzhou Assistant Deputy General Li Dianyuan and other Qing demon leaders."

"We seized a number of muskets, knives, gunpowder, lead bullets, food and other supplies."

“It’s a great victory!”

Originally, Wei Changhui and others failed to capture Li Dianyuan on the battlefield and thought that he had escaped, and they felt very disappointed for a while.

When they came before Hong Xiuquan, they learned from the conversation between Hong Xiuquan and others that Li Dianyuan had been captured.

Some of them couldn't help but envy the good luck of that guy named Li Yi!

In fact, if it had not been late at night, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom camp would not have been able to successfully encircle the Qing army camp in the night battle.

As a result, in the melee, a large number of Xunzhou Xieqing troops and Pingnan County militia fled into the wilderness.

Their gains are definitely more than that!
Even Li Dianyuan might not be picked up by Li Yi.

But even so, today's battle can still be regarded as a rare victory for the entire God Worshipping Church.

The excitement on Hong Xiuquan's face became more and more obvious, and he clapped his hands and said.

"Okay! Okay!"

"that is really good!"

"After this battle, the morale of our sect will surely be greatly boosted, and it will be time to put the matter of raising the flag of rebellion on the agenda."

This victory was extremely important to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which was on the eve of an uprising.

Feng Yunshan heard this and stood up and spoke.

"The leader is right. It's time for us to return to Jintian and prepare to organize an uprising!"

Before this, he and Hong Xiuquan were driven to Shanren Village by Xiao Chaogui on the pretext of "avoiding blessings" to organize a group camp.

Although the reason seemed reasonable on the surface, everyone could actually see that Xiao Chaogui had suppressed Hong and Feng and gained the upper hand in the internal struggle of the God Worshipping Society.

But after the battle of Mountain Village, the situation changed.

With the power of a great victory, Hong Feng is confident that he can defeat Xiao Chaogui again and regain the right to speak in the church.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiuquan made a quick decision and spoke.

"Okay! Let's do it!"

"Pass the order down. The army will rest for a day and then set out to return to Jintian at dawn tomorrow."

Hong Xiuquan was very proud. He thought that he could finally return home in glory and show off in front of Xiao Chaogui.

When everyone heard this, they all clasped their fists in response.

Afterwards, they discussed how to deal with the prisoners of war, the route to withdraw to Jintian, and other matters, and then they dispersed...

By the time Hong Xiuquan ordered them to disperse, the sky had already turned pale.

The golden morning sun jumped out of the horizon, dispelling the darkness and bringing light to the world, as if symbolizing the momentum of the newborn God Worshipping Society.

The future is bright and full of vigor and has unlimited potential!
