Anti-Qing: Starting from the Jintian Uprising

Chapter 44 Multiple Choice Instead of Single Choice

Li Yi led his men walking in Xunzhou City.

Just after he turned a corner, a scholar in ragged clothes and covered in blood suddenly rushed to the middle of the road and blocked the way of Li Yi and others.

Seeing this, several guards around Li Yi hurried forward to form a human wall to block Li Yi behind them.

Be prepared for possible assassination attempts!
Unexpectedly, the scholar not only did not rush forward to assassinate Li Yi, but instead knelt down in the middle of the road and kowtowed three times to Li Yi.

Then she looked up, revealing a face with red and swollen eyes from crying, and spoke in a hoarse voice.

"The Qing court is unjust, the emperor is incompetent, and allowed the rebels to plunder our Xunzhou and kill our fellow villagers. This crime is too numerous to list."

"My parents were also killed, tragically at the hands of the Qing soldiers."

"Student Chen Shuyu is willing to sell all his property and follow the general to fight against the Qing Dynasty. I want to seek justice for my parents and the people of Xunzhou who were killed."

"I hope the general will take me in!!"

After saying this, Chen Shuyu bowed his head again.

After Chen's father refused the Qing soldier's request, the Qing soldiers lost their patience with the Chen family and tortured and killed Chen Shuyu's parents in front of him.

If Li Yi had not led his troops to attack and eliminate those violent Qing soldiers, even Chen Shuyu, the only child of the Chen family, would have been killed.

Then, Chen Shuyu made up his mind to participate in the anti-Qing movement.

He couldn't let his parents die in vain, he wanted the Qing Dynasty to pay the price for it! !

Taking a look at Chen Shuyu's blood-stained body and his red and swollen eyes from crying, Li Yi couldn't help but be moved.

He nodded slightly and spoke.

"Since you are also determined to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, then follow me!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuyu kowtowed again.

"I thank the general for his great kindness. I will never forget his kindness."

Then, he followed Li Yi's troops, ready to leave the city and evacuate Xunzhou with Li Yi's troops.

Li Yi continued to lead his men on the official road, but since when, the number of people in the team behind him was constantly increasing.

There were scholars, carpenters, doctors, cooks, butchers, merchants, and even some women and children...

Without exception, these Xunzhou people were victims of rape and looting by the Qing army in the city of Xunzhou.

Without exception, they all had relatives who died at the hands of the Qing army.

Driven by hatred, they chose to follow Li Yi.

Follow this hero as he publicly executes Qing army rebels to avenge their murdered relatives!

As more and more people joined the team, when Li Yi led his army out of Xunzhou City, the number of people following him had jumped to more than two thousand.

Li Yi looked back at the huge team behind him again and couldn't help but be amazed.

I attacked Xunzhou City twice, and although I had to withdraw due to the changing situation, it seems that I didn't lose anything...

The first time he attacked Xunzhou, he not only harvested a large amount of food and supplies.

He also killed Zhou Fengqi, the Guizhou general of the Qing army.

The second time he attacked Xunzhou, the number of soldiers under his command increased several times.

Speaking of which, this Xunzhou City is really my blessed land!

Shaking his head to get rid of all the distracting thoughts in his mind, Li Yi led his men all the way towards Lijiazhuang.

He planned to go back to Lijiazhuang first, take the food, fodder and weapons he had stored in Lijiazhuang, and take the women, children, the elderly and the weak in Lijiazhuang, and then set off to Jintian to join the main force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Li Yi actually had his own plans for choosing to go to Jintian now.

The first is that the timing is right.

Guangxi Governor Xiang Rong led his troops to attack from the direction of Liuzhou, and the troops approached the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At this time, if Li Yi continued to fight alone, he would be seeking death.

He didn't want to be the one who was "defeated one by one" by the Qing army.

The second reason is that Li Yi is no longer a small shrimp. You know, the total number of the God Worshipping Society camps gathered in Jintian is only 20,000 to 30,000 people.

Li Yi now has more than 2,000 people under his command. Although most of these 2,000 people are a mob, the number is there after all.

It should not be underestimated!
With the power Li Yi currently holds, he can guarantee that he will have a certain say even if he goes to Jintian.

At least I don't have to be as cautious as I was at the beginning.

Because, among the more than 2,000 people under Li Yi, there were only more than 100 true followers of the God Worshipping Society at the beginning.

The rest of the people were all recruited by him, including villagers from Lijiazhuang, clansmen from Wang An, and more were people from Xunzhou who came to join him spontaneously.

These people are naturally labeled as Li Yi. They are Li Yi's people, not members of the God Worshipping Society.

Their loyalty to Li Yi takes precedence over their loyalty to the God Worshipping Society.

The influence of the Church of God on these people is limited!

Therefore, for Li Yi now, the best option is to go to Jintian to join the main force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in order to jointly deal with the threat of the Qing troops.

……

As time passed, Li Yi returned to Lijiazhuang, took food, supplies, as well as the elderly, the weak, women and children, and headed to Jintian.

After he arrived in Jintian, Feng Yunshan gave him good news.

"The Qing demons have retreated!"

Feng Yunshan said with a happy look on his face.

Upon hearing this, Li Yi couldn't help but look surprised.

"Mr. Feng, what is going on?"

"Didn't the Qing Yao's main force march south this time? Why did they suddenly retreat?"

Feng Yunshan shook his head and expressed his guess.

"I'm not too sure either."

"As soon as the Qing army's vanguard came into contact with our army, they retreated."

"They did not attack the Zijing Mountain area by force, but took a detour through Wuxuan and headed for Xunzhou."

"So I guess that the main force of the Qing demons heading south this time may not be coming for us at all, but to Xunzhou to stabilize the situation in Xunzhou after the death of Zhou Fengqi in Guizhou."

Li Yi couldn't help but frowning when he heard this.

After pondering for a while, Li Yi hesitated to speak.

"Sir, I have something to say but I don't know whether I should say it or not..."

Feng Yunshan said with a smile.

"Say what you want to say. There is no rule in our church that people will be punished for their words."

Li Yi gritted his teeth and spoke as tactfully as possible.

"What I want to say is that the main force of the Qing demons is heading south this time, and they are definitely coming for us."

"Because for the Qing Yao, there is no conflict between stabilizing Xunzhou and attacking Jintian. This is not a single-choice question, but a multiple-choice question."

"If I'm not mistaken, after Qing Yao stabilizes the situation in Xunzhou, the next step will definitely be to attack Jintian."

Li Yi's words were like a wake-up call to Feng Yunshan, which immediately woke him up and made Feng Yunshan react.

Yes, that's right!
Although the Qing demons did not attack Jintian this time, they took a detour to Xunzhou.

But it is only a matter of time before the Qing monsters attack Jintian!
The fact that the Qing demons did not attack this time can only mean that they are not ready yet.

Once Qing Yao is truly prepared, Jintian will be in danger!

This is not something to be happy about!
