The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 389 Hong Xiuquan: It’s almost there, it’s almost there, the people of Heavenly Father will be here soon! (Please subscribe, please vote)

"Kill all the Qing demons, restore China, equalize land rights, and establish a republic."

Outside the window of the Weng residence, there came shouts like a raging wave, which frightened a little demon in the house. It shivered and looked at Luo Xueyan with a pair of watery eyes, mumbling pitifully: "Master, they..."

Luo Xueyan felt a little embarrassed when he saw the little girl trembling. He frightened her so much. It was really too much! I don't know who made up that slogan. It seems like I made it up.
Thinking of this, Luo Xueyan hurriedly comforted her: "Zhen'er, don't be afraid, they are not here to kill you. You are still young, a girl, and you are promised to me. It's okay."

"Huh" Wanzhen was just slightly relieved, but still felt like a little lamb being kept in a pen by a big tiger.

It's still small now, and it will probably be eaten when it grows up.

Wanzhen glanced at the handsome and fierce-looking Marshal Luo again, sighed softly, and had to pretend to be well-behaved to Marshal Luo: "With the Marshal's protection, Zhen'er is not afraid."

Just be good!

Luo Xueyan looked at the little girl with a smile, and seemed quite satisfied.

This time, Cixi did not use a crooked-looking Eight Banners woman to fool him, but let him enjoy the treatment of a "friendly country".

Luo Xueyan turned his head and said to Weng Tonghe, "Shengfu, Wanzhen is still young and not suitable for marriage. She will stay at your house for now. Tomorrow I will ask someone to send a set of newly printed first-grade textbooks. You can teach her first and see how fast she can learn. Report to me later."

"Yes." Weng Tonghe agreed with a smile.

Luo Xueyan instructed again: "Shengfu, you have to work harder on your studies. Try to finish elementary school this year, then take the imperial examination for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After passing the examination, spend two years to finish middle school, and finish college within five years. You must study science, whether it is mathematics, physics or chemistry. In the future, you will be my Western-educated talent, and you will be of great use!"

I finished elementary school in less than a year, and junior high school in two years. In those days, there was no distinction between high school and junior high school, and I went directly to college after junior high school.

Luo Xueyan's expectation for Weng Tonghe was to spend five years studying for a bachelor's degree at the University of Berlin or Humboldt University, in mathematics, chemistry, or physics.

The top scorer should have this IQ, right?

Just look at Mr. Weng’s big head and you will know that he is definitely not biased towards any subject.

The Qian brothers also had first-class learning ability. One of them was a Jinshi and the other a Juren. Their grandchildren included Qian Sanqiang and a large number of professors. Their IQs must have been high.

Weng Tonghe also has a nephew (Weng Tongjue) whose son will also be a top scholar in the future. He is still young now and happens to go to elementary school with Weng Tonghe. I wonder if they can finish middle school and university together?
In addition, the area of ​​Suzhou, Hangzhou, Huzhou, and Jiaxing was a gathering place of talents during the Ming and Qing dynasties, and many grandfathers and great-grandfathers of later generations of "real masters" are now in this area. To be able to give birth to such great descendants, one's IQ must be quite high.

Therefore, Luo Xueyan planned to print some elementary school mathematics textbooks revised by Wang Libin, and then distribute them to allow interested talents in the southeast to study on their own. Next year, he would hold a "primary school science examination" to select a group of science geniuses who could master elementary school mathematics in a few months. He would then appoint each of them as a Hanlin scholar of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and invite some foreign teachers to teach them through middle school and university.

In Luo Xueyan's view, a true master should be able to reach the bachelor's level of mathematics, chemistry or physics at the University of Berlin or Humboldt University in the mid-19th century within a few years.

In this way, five years later, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will have a group of science talents, which are treasures! Whether it is running a university or an industry, they are indispensable. They are simply the seeds of China's modernization.

When Weng Tonghe heard Luo Xueyan's promise, his heart was filled with joy - this was too easy!

Not to mention him, just his two sisters, they studied Western mathematics with his second brother-in-law Qian Zhenlun a while ago, and after a few months, they had almost mastered all the knowledge in six primary school textbooks.

They both said that learning this was much easier than writing eight-part essays, and they both wanted to take the imperial examination.
Thinking of this, Weng Tonghe asked with a smile: "Xue Shuai, my two sisters have made great progress in studying Western mathematics recently. I wonder if they can take the exam?"

"sure!"

Luo Xueyan laughed and said, "Genius has no gender!"

He then said to Wanzhen, "Ah Zhen, you should study hard too. You can go to Beijing with Weng Shengfu to take the imperial examination next year. If you pass, you will be of great use."

"Yes." Wanzhen nodded slightly, thinking: "I must study hard, it will be very useful if I learn well." "It will be soon, it will be soon, the people sent by Heavenly Father will be here soon! Soon"

In Tianjing, Jinlong City, in the Sun Palace, a sage with disheveled hair and barefoot was kneeling in front of the tablet of "Heavenly Father Haotian Emperor", his face pale and muttering to himself.

The "prayer room" he was in was not very big, and there was nothing decorative inside, except for a tablet and three cushions. Hong Xiuquan knelt on the cushion in the middle, with Bian Sanniang and Daozi sitting on his left and right.

Both women looked at Hong Xiuquan, who seemed to be half-crazy, with a look of heartache and shed tears silently.

Ever since Hong Xiuquan was "put in a cage" and treated as a saint, his mental state has become even more abnormal. He was a little crazy originally, but now he is even crazier!

It seemed that he had dreamed about his "Hakka God Lao Dou" for half a month, and he even sued Ji Du and Luo Yaoguo in his dream!
And "God" seemed to support him in his dream, and even said that Luo Yaoguo was a "fallen angel" and wanted to send someone to help Hong Xiuquan deal with Luo Yaoguo!
After Hong Xiuquan had this dream, he looked forward to the helper sent by God every day just like he looked forward to the stars and the moon. Daozi and Bian Sanniang also believed Hong Xiuquan at first, and sent their female soldiers and officers to carry out "air search" missions on the walls of Jinlong City day and night. After searching for half a month, they saw nothing!
There was no one falling from the sky. It seems that King Hong’s dream was not very accurate!

However, Hong Xiuquan still hoped like crazy that someone would come from heaven every day, which made Daozi and Bian Sanniang very sad.

"Heaven, King of Heaven."

Bian Sanniang wanted to persuade Hong Xiuquan, but as soon as she opened her mouth, Hong Xiuquan shook his head and interrupted her, saying: "It will come, it will come soon, the Heavenly Father will not lie to me. Maybe, maybe he did not fall from the sky, but came by water!
Rice, Sanniang, quickly arrange for someone to go to Xiaguan Port to have a look, maybe there will be some harvest."

The two women looked at each other and nodded together, "Yes! We'll send someone over right away."

"Woo."

With a whistle, the steam sailing ship "Yue Fa" from Shanghai has docked at the increasingly busy Xiaguan Wharf.

On the deck of one side of the steamship, there stood a foreign cardinal wearing a red top hat and a red robe. He was Paul de Doria, Cardinal of the Archdiocese of Nanjing.

The former chief of heresy of the Roman Church and chief exorcist of the Holy See from Rome was leaning on a cane, squinting his eyes at the prosperous port and commercial port nearby and the tall city walls a little further away, as if he was thinking about something.

"Uncle, have we finally arrived in Nanjing?"

A beautiful female voice came from behind him, and Archbishop Doria turned around to look at his beautiful niece, Maria de Clementina Doria. Maria was still dressed as a nun, carrying a suitcase in her hand, with a faint, very comfortable smile on her face.

"We're here!" Bishop Doria nodded gently. "I think we will soon find out whether that Angel Luo really fell from the sky or is a liar."

"Will it be clear soon?" Maria frowned slightly, "You mean..."

"Let's go ask the second son of God!" Archbishop Doria said as he made the sign of the cross on his chest. "He should know exactly who Luo Yaoguo is."

"That second son of God." Maria pouted, "Isn't he a big liar himself?"

Archbishop Doria shook his head. "We can't draw conclusions now. This is too subjective. We have to wait until we meet this so-called second son of God before we can make a preliminary judgment."

“Is it just a preliminary assessment?”

Archbishop Doria nodded and said leisurely, "Yes, we must conduct an in-depth investigation before we can make a final judgment.

After all, many prophecies in the Book of Prophets have been verified, which means that supernatural phenomena have been proven. And the last time such a situation occurred, if the secret records of the Holy See are correct, it seems to be in the early seventh century AD, right? "

"Early seventh century AD?" Maria looked surprised. "You mean..."
