When he heard Yang Xiuqing mention "Guangxi", the old man couldn't stop crying. He cried and said, "So you still remember Guangxi. But do you know that there are thousands of people in Guangxi who are waiting to share food, clothes and money with us?"

Yang Xiuqing was stunned for a moment, and immediately realized that he had encountered a "setup" prepared by some people, so he followed the words of the old man Wang and nodded heavily, saying: "I remember, of course I remember. How dare Xiuqing forget? How could I forget?"

The old man said loudly: "Then when are you going to lead us back to Guangxi to save the millions of Guangxi folks who are suffering from poverty and hunger?"

As soon as Old Man Wang finished speaking, several of the "red-headed Chinese" who had just stood up on the surrounding streets began to echo him loudly.

"Your Highness, the Eastern King, our lives are better now, but there are still so many people suffering in the world. Heavenly Father sent the Heavenly King, you and other kings to the world to save the people! When can we save all the suffering people in the world?"

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Father taught us that all land in the world should be cultivated by all people in the world. Only in this way can there be no inequality anywhere and no one is left without food and clothing. Only when everyone in the world is not selfish and all things belong to God, can the world share the great blessing of the Heavenly Father, the Lord, and the Supreme God! But how much have we achieved now? I heard that in Shanghai, even the land is not divided, not to mention the ill-gotten gains brought to Shanghai by those corrupt officials and evil gentry."

"Your Majesty, why is no one talking about these principles of Heavenly Father now? The lecturers don't mention them, and they are not even mentioned in the draft of the Taiping Treaty that was published."

Yang Xiuqing nodded repeatedly, looking quite in agreement, and raised his voice and said loudly: "Xiuqing already knows what you said, brothers. Xiuqing will definitely bring it up at the National Congress. If you are still worried, please follow Xiuqing to the National Congress and bring it up with the Heavenly King, the Western King, the Southern King, and the Luo Tianshi!"

As he said this, he waved his hand, shouted "Let's go", and took the old man's hand, and strode towards Capitol Hill. The "assistant" who had just followed the old man Wang to use moral principles to confront Yang Xiuqing, and another seven or eight "assistants" who seemed to have no say, also followed them to Capitol Hill.

At about the same time, the teams of the Western King, the Northern King, the Yu King, and the Yan King, who were heading toward the National Congress Hill along Zhongbumen Street and Jinchuanmen Street, all encountered similar situations. When the princes were pretending to be friendly to the people, they encountered "stolen" arranged by someone unknown.
At the foot of Capitol Hill, the intersection where Beizushi'an Street, Yifengmen Street, Zhongbumen Street and Capitol Hill Climbing Avenue intersect is already crowded with people. Looking around, there are "red-headed people" everywhere. If there were not a number of holy soldiers carrying brown bass rifles to maintain order there, the road to Capitol Hill would have been blocked long ago.

However, when Luo Yaoguo and his delegations from the six southeastern prefectures, Changsha in Hunan, and Yuanzhou in Jiangxi, as well as "foreign brothers" such as British Minister to China John Bowring and French Minister to China Bourboulon, marched in from outside the Yifeng Gate and arrived at this intersection, they were blocked by a group of Chinese representatives from Guangdong and Guangxi.

Luo Yaoguo was as approachable as Yang Xiuqing today. The team he led set out from the Prince Wu's Mansion and boarded a ship at the nearby Qinhuai River Wharf, then sailed along the Qinhuai River to the Longjiang Wharf, and then disembarked and entered the Yifeng Gate.

After landing at Longjiang Wharf, he and more than one hundred Chinese representatives under his command, more than one hundred Chinese people who were qualified to attend the parliament and observe the political discussions in person, as well as several foreigners, walked towards Capitol Hill under the protection of half a battalion of the Taiping New Army.

Dozens of veterans and wounded soldiers joined him along the way. When Luo Yaoguo arrived at the intersection under Capitol Hill, he was supporting a one-armed old Taiping soldier, asking about his health while walking.

Maria, on the other hand, was holding the hand of a 13- or 14-year-old "little Chinese" with a bitter face, and was talking to him about going to school at Suzhou No. 1 Primary School - Suzhou No. 1 Primary School is currently in need of a last-place student in the school. This Taiping Army boy soldier looked very strong, and was very suitable to be the last-place student. There was a scary scar on his chubby face, and two fingers on his left hand were broken, and he limped when he walked. It was obvious that he was a scarred little Chinese who could have played around all his life, but today he came out to watch the fun and got the right to receive an education.

So inspiring!

"Are you Angel Luo? I am the representative of Guangdong people, Li Wenmao from Heshan, and I have something I want to consult with Angel Luo!"

The man who was standing with his hands on his hips and stopping Luo Yaoguo to ask questions was a burly, white-faced, beardless man. He had a very loud voice and his tone was not very friendly, with a hint of questioning.

Luo Yaoguo was known as the "Holy Angel" in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Everyone who saw him was polite. However, he had never met anyone who spoke to him in a yelling manner like the one in front of him since he came down to the battlefield.

This guy must be a big shot!

Luo Yaoguo first looked him over, then counted on his fingers and asked in Cantonese dialect, "Are you Mr. Li, the famous Cantonese opera actor who is famous in the Guangzhou-Foshan area?"

Li Wenmao was stunned for a moment, thinking: "How does he know that I am an opera singer? Did he stay in Guangzhou before, or is he really good at fortune-telling?"

At this time, a short and sturdy middle-aged man rushed out from beside Li Wenmao and clasped his fists generously: "Tianshi Luo, I am Gan Xian from Panyu, and I am also a Chinese representative from Guangdong. Like Boss Li, I have something I want to consult with Tianshi Luo."

Luo Yaoguo smiled and clasped his fists: "It turns out to be Master Gan. It is a blessing for the people of Guangdong that you and Boss Li can come to Tianjing together to discuss national affairs!" He pointed to the National Congress Hill and said with a smile: "Master Gan, Boss Li, let's go up the mountain together and discuss how to take over Guangdong and Guangxi. The opportunity to take over Guangdong and Guangxi is right in front of us!"

Luo Yaoguo was not just making big promises for these two Hongmen leaders who had historically launched the Red Army Uprising in Guangdong in response to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but the opportunity to take over Guangdong and Guangxi was really at hand.

Historically, the reason why the Red Army uprising failed to capture Guangzhou was that, firstly, the Red Army was based on the Tiandihui, and its organization and morale were far inferior to those of the Taiping Army, so it was very difficult for it to fight against the Green Camp and militia under Ye Mingchen.

The second reason is the interference of British and French imperialism.

Now, Shi Dakai has been designated as the main general to take over Guangdong. Before he left the Tianjing regime of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Shi Dakai was almost a military god! And the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was about to form an alliance with Britain and France.

As long as Russia is not defeated, Britain and France will definitely not prevent the Taiping Army from taking over the four provinces of Guangdong, Guangxi, Fujian and Zhejiang.

However, Li Wenmao and Gan Xian did not move, but instead bowed to Luo Yaoguo together.

Gan Xian said: "Lord Luo, with the current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with millions of people, it must be easy to take over Guangdong and Guangxi, but it is not easy to ensure that all the 30 million people in Guangdong and Guangxi have food to eat, warmth to stay warm, and land to own!"

Li Wenmao said in a clear voice: "Angel Luo, we brothers of the Tiandihui in Guangdong originally believed in overthrowing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty. After reading your "Anti-Scripture", we gradually realized that our original approach of only opposing the Tartars but not the gentry was not feasible. Only by following the method of "Anti-Scripture" and distributing land equally and fighting the gentry can the 30 million hungry and cold people in Guangdong and Guangxi have more food and clothing to survive. But now, we heard that you, the angel, have fallen, and have colluded with the gentry and profiteers in the rich and gentle land of Jiangnan, and turned Shanghai into a place where filth and evil are hidden and good people are mixed together. Is this true?"

Oh, it’s Feng Yunshan!
Luo Yaoguo already understood it in his mind.

Li Wenmao and Gan Xian both came from Guangdong, and Feng Yunshan has been in charge of Guangdong in the past two years, so these two must be Feng Yunshan's subordinates.

The theory of rebellion he proposed was also closer to the actual situation in Hunan.

Hunan is located inland, and there is no large influx of new growth. It is not easy to develop light industry. There are no ready-made advantageous industries, and it is difficult to obtain overseas capital and technology. It is difficult to "sell piglets" and export population. Since it is impossible to "open up" to obtain growth, the only way is to distribute the stock evenly.

The six southeastern prefectures and Guangdong do not need to be so radical. They should destroy the rural rent system and the ruling power of the gentry, protect urban industry and commerce, and guide capital and talents to concentrate in a "special zone" that can "take a step ahead". This is a proven path!
This is also the route that Luo Yaoguo wants to finalize at this National People’s Congress!
However, this route cannot be explained in a few words, and it cannot be decided through discussions on the streets.

"Master Gan, Boss Li," Luo Yaoguo raised his hand and pointed to the National People's Congress Hall on the top of the mountain, "That's where the representatives of the country discuss national affairs. Since you two are representatives, please go up the mountain to discuss politics!"

Li Wenmao waved his hand and said seriously, "Angel Luo, I just want to ask you one question: have you fallen?"

There is actually a little bit of depravity!

It’s Zhou Xiuying again, and Maria again, hugging them left and right, it looks a bit decadent!

But he couldn't admit that he had fallen.
Just when Luo Yaoguo wanted to deny it, the most depraved person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom came!

"dong dong dong"

Following the sound of gongs and drums, a large sedan chair carried by sixty-four people entered the Zhongbu Gate and appeared in everyone's sight!
Hong Xiuquan, along with Feng Yunshan and Hong Rengan, arrived at the right time to support Li Wenmao and Gan Xian.
