The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 199 Hong Xiuquan, you are a blind activist!
Changsha City, outside Chaozong Gate.

"Long live the king! Kill the Qing monsters and go to heaven!"

After more than 500 "big demons" and "small demons" were burned alive into charcoal, nearly 100,000 Changsha residents who had moved from Chaozong Gate to Chaozhou Gate to watch the barbecue shouted the slogan "Kill the Qing demons and go to heaven" from the bottom of their hearts, and many of them shouted the slogan while laughing and crying.

When revenge is achieved, one naturally smiles.

After laughing, they burst into tears because of their miserable situation and the fact that their loved ones could not be brought back to life.

The Qing soldiers who invaded Changsha not only killed their relatives, but also took away their last living money. And earlier, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's land distribution policy took away their land.

Now they truly have nothing!

No land, no wealth, some people have lost their relatives, empty-handed, alone, and don't know where to go in the future? In this end times, people like them who have lost everything will starve to death sooner or later. It's really miserable to think about it!

“Ding, ding, ding, ding”

Just when these people who had avenged their great hatred began to feel confused about their future, bursts of loud bells suddenly rang out from the Chao Zongmen city wall.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it. They saw that a high platform had been built on the city gate tower at some point, and on the platform stood a man wearing a paper crown and a dragon robe, looking down at the people on the bank of the Xiangjiang River, who were crying and laughing.

The man who can stand so tall and wear a dragon robe must be the greatest king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan.

Is King Hong going to announce something big?
Thinking of this, everyone fell silent, and all their eyes were cast towards this man who was high above them and like a god.

A large number of Taiping Army soldiers came out from Chaozong Gate and lined up outside it, shouting in unison: "The Heavenly King has issued an order, you should kneel down and listen respectfully, and do not make any noise!"

After a long series of "kneel", the people outside the Chao Sect had already knelt down.

Looking at the sea of ​​people kneeling in front of him, Hong Xiuquan, standing on the high platform, seemed to be enjoying it very much, with an intoxicated expression on his face.

After being intoxicated for a while, Hong Xiuquan finally started to recite a doggerel: "Listen carefully, everyone! I am the son of Heaven, and I was ordered to come down to the mortal world to kill the Qing demons and create a peaceful world. Today I will pacify Changsha, and tomorrow I will conquer Beijing. I will kill all the demons in the world. Let's go together to kill the Qing demons and enjoy wealth and honor together. Are you willing?"

Hong Xiuquan did not speak loudly, and he spoke in Hakka dialect, which the Hunanese people below could not understand. However, the soldiers lined up outside the Chaozong Gate were proficient in "multiple languages". They could translate Hong Xiuquan's Hakka dialect into Hunan Mandarin and then broadcast it loudly, so that the people kneeling outside the Chaozong Gate could always understand it.

The people kneeling below immediately understood that King Hong wanted to lead everyone to conquer the world!

This is certainly a good thing!
At least for those who are now kneeling outside the Chao Sect and have nothing left, this is the best thing that could happen!
The poor hope to rebel! What other options do the poor have except to rebel?
Besides, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s “anti-China sentiment” is very good at the moment. If we don’t join now, when will we?
"willing!"

"I wish to follow the king to conquer the country!"

"I wish to follow the Heavenly King to kill the demons and go to heaven!"

There was a cheer outside the Chao Sect gate.

"Hahaha!" Hong Xiuquan also laughed heartily. "One hundred thousand people, I conquered it in one night!" He turned his head and looked around. "Qing compatriots, your brother-in-law, mountain compatriots, and national compatriots. If I can get a million people, can I conquer Beijing in one go?"

A million people, conquering Beijing in one fell swoop?

Luo Yaoguo pondered: "Hong Xiuquan, you are going to make the mistake of blind activism! Do you want to gather a million rabble and scare the Manchus in Beijing with your massive momentum?"

"Heavenly King, if we had a million men, we could conquer Beijing in one fell swoop!"

Yang Xiuqing first expressed his support for Hong Xiuquan, but he did not completely give up his point of view. He then added: "However, the military rations and armaments needed by a million people must also be complete, otherwise it will be too difficult for a million people to raise food during the Northern Expedition."

It was Hong Xiuquan who acted blindly, but he was the one who cleaned up the mess. Millions of people marched north to Beijing. How much would it cost? It's not easy to be a boss!

After Yang Xiuqing, the father who was responsible for covering up for Hong Xiuquan, expressed his support, Xiao Chaogui and Feng Yunshan also immediately expressed their support.

Xiao Chaogui now only had Wuchang Prefecture in his mind. Of course, he did not object to Hong Xiuquan's desire to lead millions of people to Beijing, and he even said a lot of flattering words.

Feng Yunshan is now intent on taking Guangdong. It is said that he has contacted many big leaders of the Guangdong Tiandihui and is preparing to cooperate with them to take Guangdong in one fell swoop. It doesn't matter how many people Hong Xiuquan drags to the north - Yang Xiuqing and Luo Yaoguo will be enough to keep an eye on them. So he also expressed his support, but also mentioned that Nanjing must be taken first. With the money and food provided by the land of fish and rice in the south of the Yangtze River, it will be possible for millions of people to reach Beijing.

Three of the four living fathers have expressed their opinions, leaving only Luo Yaoguo.

Hong Xiuquan looked at him with burning eyes, as if he was looking forward to his support.

Luo Yaoguo certainly supported Hong Xiuquan's recklessness. Rebellion requires energy and passion. Even if he died recklessly, he could inspire future generations. But he followed the trend of Yang Xiuqing and Feng Yunshan, clasping his hands and saying, "Your Majesty, I think the same as my third and fourth brothers. We should first pacify Jiangnan and then conquer the Central Plains. This is the way Hongwu conquered the world!"

"it is good!"

The four living fathers all nodded, so it must be correct. Hong Xiuquan, the "child", finally laughed heartily. He waved his hand and said to Yang Xiuqing: "Qingbo, in three days, recruit 100,000 people from Changsha. In five days, I will lead an army of 200,000 to Wuchang!"

"Brother, I accept the decree!"

Yang Xiuqing immediately lifted his robe and bowed, accepting the task assigned to him by Hong Xiuquan. One hundred thousand people! It took three days to recruit them, and five days to take them away. They were still a motley crowd, and could only be used to boost their momentum. Just thinking about it made me feel overwhelmed.

Hong Xiuquan turned around and looked at the people kneeling below. He waved his hand at them with great generosity and announced loudly: "Five days later, I will lead you to march into Wuchang City! Three months later, I will lead you to take Nanjing and make it the capital of Little Paradise. One year later, I will personally lead a million troops to the north to attack the Central Plains and wipe out the Qing demons!"

The people below did not know what Hong Xiuquan was shouting. They only saw Hong Xiuquan waving at them, so they shouted loudly: "Kill the Qing demons and go to heaven!"

Five days later.

Outside Beijing, on the Marco Polo Bridge.

At this moment, Aisin-Gioro Sushun was standing dejectedly on the long bridge, looking at the towering city of Beijing in the distance. After a long while, he let out a sigh.

"Master Su, you have been sighing all the way, and we are almost in Beijing."

"That's right. Victory and defeat are common in the military. Besides, we have analyzed everything along the way and found a way to defeat the long-haired man! Next time we go, we should be able to win!"

"Master Su, we didn't gain nothing this time! At least we defeated the Bull Demon King's Dharma image and found the Demon King's true body. Lama invited a great power from the West, who will definitely kill him!"

The ones who were speaking were Guaerjia Yuanbao, Jin Aduo, and Bai Siwen, the "Three Treasures of the Eight Banners". Next to them was an old Russian with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing the official robe of the Qing Dynasty. It was none other than Tupolev Lama. When he heard Bai Siwen say that he was going to the West to ask for help from a powerful man, he could not help but frowning!

He has basically confirmed that Luo Yaoguo has a relationship with the legendary devil Satan. He is either a disciple of Satan or Satan himself. For such a powerful devil, I wonder if the magic power of the patriarchs of the All-Russian Religious Committee is enough? If not, they have to go to Rome to ask the Pope for help, and then the Orthodox Church may be suppressed by the Roman Catholic Church.

At this time, Sushun also turned his head to look at Tu Lama, clasped his hands together, and performed a Buddhist salute: "Master, I wonder if there is a method in the West to subdue this demon?"

"Yes, yes!" Lama Tupolev nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "My Rakshasa country may not have it, but England and France must have a magic weapon that can kill this demon! When I return to Rakshasa this time, I will definitely find a way to buy it for the Qing Dynasty, but this magic weapon is not cheap!"

"England? France?"

Sushun stroked his beard and thought to himself, "There are many English and French people in Shanghai and Guangzhou. Perhaps we can send someone to contact them. This way we can save the middleman and it will be cheaper."
