The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 184 Carrying Xiuquan, singing, and charging!

"Worship God, kill the Qing demons, and go to heaven"

On the west bank of the Xiang River, south of Shanmen City, in a rather open and slightly undulating wilderness dotted with a few small hills and two woods, more than 10,000 old Guangxi brothers were worshipping a huge sedan chair, chanting something.

On this big sedan chair, there was also a man wearing a dragon robe and a yellow hat, kneeling on the platform in front of the chair. In front of him stood a tablet more than half a person's height, with the words "Heavenly Father Haotian Huang Shangdi" written on it.

In front of the tablet, there is an upside-down copper-plated gilded bowl with a cross pattern engraved on the surface, and a small wooden stick next to the bowl.
The man who led his men to worship God on the battlefield was, of course, Hong Xiuquan, the true holy ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

This time, Hong Xiuquan was so motivated that even he was afraid!
In order to catch up with Senggelinqin, he had not left this "big house" carried by sixty-four people for three days and three nights.

When you are hungry, just put seven or eight dishes on this "roof" and have a quick meal.

When he was tired, he would lie down on the bed in the "room" and take a nap, and dream about God - last night he really dreamed of a God with white hair and beard who spoke Hakka. God also praised him for his hard work and asked him to quickly march north to destroy the big demon Xianfeng!

If you feel bored, you can also ask a few accompanying ladies to serve you in the sedan chair!
After having fun with Wang Niang, Hong Xiuquan would take out a treasured Bible to revise it - many stories in the Bible were not well written and could not correctly reflect the will of God, so they had to be revised personally by him, the second son of God!
He planned to spend some time after marching and fighting to reorganize the "Old Testament" and "New Testament" into a "True Testament". From now on, anyone who worships God should recite it according to the "True Testament", preferably in Hakka dialect. This way, the old God in heaven can understand it!

King Hong is not talking nonsense, it is based on facts!
The angel Luo Yaoguo came from heaven and is God's adopted son. He can speak fluent Hakka, which means that God in heaven speaks Hakka.
After Hong Xiuquan worked hard and personally chased Senggelinqin in a sedan chair for three days, he finally caught up with him.

It seemed that Senggelinqin had received some reinforcements and had gathered more than 10,000 people. They had already formed a battle formation and were about two or three miles away from Hong Xiuquan's sedan chair.

However, Hong Xiuquan was not worried at all about Senggelinqin, his defeated general. He had defeated Senggelinqin twice in the past few days. This Mongolian prince was no match for him at all!

This is understandable. Senggelinqin's father was a Mongolian shepherd, while Hong Xiuquan's father was a God who spoke Hakka!
"My Lord, this is..."

In front of the Qing army, Sai Shang'a looked through a telescope for a while, a little confused. Why was the style of this long-haired man a little different from the past?
"Longhair is worshipping God!"

Senggelinqin raised his whip, pointed at the large sedan chair that looked like a small building in the distance, and said to Sai Shang'a, "Sai Zhongtang, do you see that small house-like thing?"

"Did you see this thing?" asked Sai Shang'a.

Senggelinqin said: "This is Hong Xiuquan's sedan chair!"

Sai Shang'a was surprised: "So big? Isn't it too eye-catching?"

Senggelinqin nodded: "It's so eye-catching! As long as we capture that sedan chair, the Qing Dynasty will be peaceful and prosperous again!"

Sai Shang'a looked at the sedan chair and said, "It doesn't look that difficult!"

Senggelinqin turned around and looked at Saishang'a, I've been waiting for you to say this!
"Zhongtang, how do you think we should take down that sedan chair?"

Sai Shang'a thought for a moment and said, "How do we get it? Of course we should all rush up together and focus on the sedan chair! Our soldiers are fighting with the help of smoke, and now we are in full swing, so hurry up!"

Senggelinqin pretended to think for a moment and said, "We can't just charge in all at once. What if the Taiping rebels run away with Hong Xiuquan's sedan chair? How about this? You and General Bao guard the front and move forward slowly.

Jiang Minqiao, He Yuting and I led our troops to make a detour, attack Hong Xiuquan's left wing, and then outflank him from behind."

"Okay, I'll listen to you, my Lord!"

"Heavenly King, the Qing demons seem to have divided their forces into two groups, and are trying to outflank our left wing."

While Hong Xiuquan was still worshiping God, he heard the voice of Yang Xiuqing.

With a "clang" sound, Hong Xiuquan picked up the short stick and smashed the "purple gold bowl" hard.

Then, King Hong suddenly climbed up from the platform, staring at the movements of the Qing army in front of him, with an expression of excitement on his face that was difficult to conceal.

Then he raised his arms high and shouted, "Get up!"

More than ten thousand people stood up together, making a "whoosh" noise.

However, everyone was still facing the "great god" Hong Xiuquan, and everyone had a pious expression.

Hong Xiuquan opened his throat and announced loudly: "Last night, my Heavenly Father God came to me in a dream. He said that I have done a good job and asked me to keep up the good work and continue to lead the Taiping Holy Army to kill the Qing monsters. He also taught me not to learn from Wu Sangui and cross the Yangtze River!" Yang Xiuqing couldn't help frowning when he heard what Hong Xiuquan said.

How can we talk about crossing the Yangtze River now?

Isn’t it the general policy to go down to Jiangdong and take Nanjing?

How many battles have been fought across the Yangtze River?

When he was frowning, the two thousand female soldiers guarding Hong Xiuquan shouted in unison: "Father Hao Tianhuang God has sent a dream to the Heavenly King, asking the Heavenly King not to learn from Wu Sangui and fight across the Yangtze River!"

With a clang sound.

Hong Xiuquan had already drawn his sword, not caring about his flank. He just pointed forward and shouted, "Father Hao Tian Huang God, please bless us to kill the Qing demons and go to heaven! Charge!"

It didn't matter that he shouted. The more than 10,000 Taiping troops below immediately exploded and shouted loudly: "Kill the Qing monsters and go to heaven!"

Yang Xiuqing hurriedly called over a guard and said, "Quick, go and tell the King of Wings to stop charging and keep a close eye on the left wing!"

"Yes!"

The guard responded, jumped on his horse and went to give orders to Shi Dakai.

"His pride laughs at the waves, and his blood is hotter than the red sun."

At this time, the "lead singers" of each Taiping Army division on the battlefield began to take the lead in singing "A Man Should Be Self-reliant", and the morale, which was already very high, suddenly reached a crazy level.

Hong Xiuquan seemed to be inspired by the high morale at the scene, and waved to Bian Sanniang, the female battalion commander under the sedan chair: "Sanniang, I will charge in person!"

"Yes!"

After Su Sanniang followed Luo Yaoguo, Bian Sanniang, who actually filled the vacancy of deputy general manager of the female camp, drew out two Taiping swords, waved them forward, and sixty sedan bearers worked together and immediately lifted up the sedan chair with sixty-four people including Hong Xiuquan.

The female soldiers from Guangxi who were guarding the sedan chair formed a hollow square formation, escorting Hong Xiuquan's sedan chair as it charged forward!

Charging forward in a sedan chair carried by sixty-four people, this is something unique.

However, Hong Xiuquan's completely ridiculous behavior greatly inspired the fighting spirit of more than 10,000 Taiping Army soldiers.

The more than 10,000 people formed into brigade-level formations, shoulder to shoulder, singing "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" and marching forward quickly, like more than 10,000 hungry tigers, rushing towards the Imperial Commissioner Sai Shang'a, Hunan Admiral Bao Qibao and their thousands of long-defeated soldiers.
On the Qing side, Sai Shang'a was able to stay calm and rode on his horse without moving. But the Green Camp soldiers around him, even though they were full of foreign cigarettes, saw the more than 10,000 Taiping soldiers singing "A Man Should Be Self-reliant" and carrying Hong Xiuquan rushing up, they lost all their will to fight and fled like a thief.

On the west side of the battlefield, Senggelinqin, Shengbao, and Jiang Zhongyuan, who were supposed to attack the left wing and rear of the Taiping Army, fled from the battlefield without even saying hello.
At the same time, at the foot of Yuelu Mountain, Cheng Yancai, the Governor of Huguang, who had just sat down on the side of the official road to catch his breath, felt a black flash in front of his eyes.

He had already given up Xiangtan and fled to the vicinity of Changsha City, so why was that angel named Luo still chasing him?
He has been really hounded by this Luo guy these past few days. He hasn't slept well and hasn't had a single hot meal!

If he continues to be chased like this, he will be dead.

Thinking of this, Cheng Yancai stood up suddenly and looked around. The opium-smoking soldiers under the command of his deputy general Chunhua had been chased all the way. They could not even take a few puffs of foreign cigarettes and had long been unable to run. Now there were not many of them left. Fortunately, there were 200 personal soldiers who had fled with Sun Yingzhao to his side, otherwise, he didn't know whether they could make it to Yuelu Mountain.

"Sir, what are you doing?"

"My lord, run!"

Chunhua and Sun Yingzhao came together to persuade Cheng Dazhijun to continue running away.

"I'm not running away!" Cheng Yancai got angry and shouted, "I want to cross the river to find Luo Ruzhai and Luo Suxi to fight the bandits together! Go find a boat for me."

"twitter!"
