The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 88 What is the enemy doing? The enemy is chanting! (Chapter )
A large number of copies of the Anti-Scripture have been printed!
There is not only "Volume One", but also "Volume Two" and "Volume Three".

When Luo Yaoguo, Jiao Hong and Xu Yuegui arrived at the lobby of the Southern Prince's Mansion, Feng Yunshan was personally checking a batch of "Anti-Scriptures" that had just been printed and delivered.

Seeing Luo Yaoguo coming in, Feng Yunshan greeted him enthusiastically: "Old Eight, come and have a look. There are several thousand copies of the newly printed Anti-Scripture!"

Jiao Hong and Xu Yuegui had to continue to kowtow in the Prince of Nan's Mansion and kowtow to Feng Yunshan respectfully.

Feng Yunshan waved his hand to signal them to stand up and talk, while Luo Yaoguo waved to the two of them and went into the lobby together.

"Is that all?" Luo Yaoguo asked.

"These are the ones we have printed now!" Feng Yunshan said with a smile, "There will be many more in the future, I guarantee there will be enough to give away!"

Luo Yaoguo pointed to the Anti-Scripture in the wooden box, which was still smelling of ink, and said to Xu Yuegui and Jiao Hong, "These are Volumes 2 and 3. You must arrange for the brothers of the Tiandihui to distribute them as soon as possible!"

"Only Volume 2 and Volume 3?" Xu Yuegui was stunned. "No Volume 1?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Volume 1 is for our people to read, and Volumes 2 and 3 are for the enemy to read! The farther it is spread, the better, and the more enemies it sees, the better!"

"If they see it, they are no longer our enemies?" Xu Yuegui asked.

"No, the enemies mentioned in Volumes 2 and 3 of Anti-Scripture are probably still enemies." Feng Yunshan took over the question and answered leisurely, "But they will not only be our enemies, but also the enemies of the Manchurian emperor!"

Quanzhou, Guangxi.

A group of beggars were dragging their tired steps into the city from the east gate of Quanzhou City. If they were not all carrying spears, swords, and muskets, wearing ragged uniforms, looking quite strong, and led by a prefect wearing the uniform of a fifth-rank civil servant, the Qing soldiers guarding the gate would have almost mistaken them for real beggars.

This group of beggar Qing soldiers were the militia recruited from Daozhou City by Wang Kuiyi, Huang Shijie and Zhang Dingxiang, who were loyal to the Qing Dynasty and carried the "Anti-Scripture".

Although this group of soldiers suffered a lot on the way out of Daozhou, the losses were not great and the team did not disperse. There were still 700 to 800 people when they left Daozhou, and more than 700 people were left when they arrived in Quanzhou. Moreover, they did not lose much weapons, at least everyone had a weapon in their hands!
Being able to fight like this even after a defeat was considered an honorable defeat in the Qing army.

However, Wang Kuiyi, the highest-ranking official among the three, did not feel "honored" at all. Instead, he felt as if a disaster was about to happen.

Because he is a criminal who lost his land!

If the officials defending the territory of the Qing Dynasty lost the city where their office was located, they generally had two choices: to save their dignity or to lose it.

The most honorable thing is to die for the king, to leave only your body unpreserved, and to have a grand funeral - a cenotaph!

Of course he was taken to Beijing without any dignity and handed over to the Ministry for discussion and punishment!
Being exiled to Yili was a light punishment for the ministers who lost their territory. They had to thank the emperor for waiting for execution, and they deserved to be beheaded at Caishikou.

Although Wang Kuiyi has a little share in Daozhou militia, it is really only a little!

He was not from Daozhou, or even Hunan, nor was he a Green Camp military officer. The gentry who had escaped from Daozhou had little to do with him, and the Green Camp soldiers who served as Daozhou militia officers did not recognize him.

It seems a bit difficult for him to use his military power to exchange for a decent funeral that is not a grand funeral!
"Sir Wang, the Imperial Envoy has arrived!"

A voice interrupted Wang Kuiyi's thoughts. He looked up and found that he had unknowingly arrived outside a heavily guarded government office. The imperial commissioner's flag was fluttering outside the government office. Dozens of soldiers in official uniforms with their hands on sword handles were guarding outside! "Sir Wang," a Green Camp military officer who led Wang Kuiyi, Huang Shijie, and Zhang Dingxiang into the city smiled and clasped his fists, then pointed to the imperial commissioner's headquarters, "Sai Zhongtang is inside, please come in. I will lead the more than 700 militiamen you brought to the temporary barracks."

Huang Shijie said to Wang Kui: "Sir Wang, I will accompany you in. Let General Zhang lead the troops to set up camp first."

"Okay, okay." Wang Kuiyi had no idea what to do now, so he nodded. Then he ordered Zhang Dingxiang to lead the troops to the camp first, and then he and Huang Shijie tremblingly entered the imperial envoy's headquarters, handed in the petition, sent the door bag, and waited for Sai Shang Asai Zhongtang to meet and lecture them.

And Sai Shang'a was chanting scriptures at this time!

Recite the Anti-Scripture!
Jiao Hong and Xu Yuegui are still the big bosses of the Tiandihui, and they are also the local bosses in the Hunan-Guangdong-Guangxi border area. They can access the Tiandihui network in the Hunan-Guangdong-Guangxi border area at any time. It is really easy for them to pass the "Anti-Scripture" to an official of the Qing court like Sai Shang'a. There is no need to send disciples to stand on the streets of Quanzhou to distribute it. Just send someone to hand over the "Anti-Scripture" directly to the Tiandihui hall in Quanzhou. Then the three shifts of yamen runners and local soldiers, militia, and even the officers and soldiers of Xiang Rong, Qin Dingsan, and Zhang Guoliang will take the "Searched" "Anti-Scripture" and send it up.

In short, the main focus is on "precise recommendation" to ensure that the parents of the Qing people and the heads of the gentry families in Quanzhou City can have a copy!
Sai Shang'a was of course also on the recommendation list of the Tiandihui in Quanzhou, and he also got three volumes, one on "The Rebellion of Han Officials" and two on "The Rebellion of Gentry". At this moment, he was silently reciting one volume each with his two trusted advisers, Kong Xianglin and Wang Shengming, both from Shaoxing!
All three of them looked worried. Sai Shang'a couldn't stop sighing, while the two Shaoxing lawyers kept exchanging glances.

These two advisors were both top-level Shao Mu, and were no longer responsible for handling trivial matters such as money and criminal law. Instead, they were at the level where they could help Sai Zhongtang deal with the context books and plan the power struggles in the officialdom. Among them, the advisor Wang Shengming had even read a lot of military books and had a lot of experience in marching and deploying troops.

The reason why Sai Shang'a has been able to "win repeatedly" since he sent out his troops was inseparable from the planning of the two of them.

Faced with the growing Taiping Army, the only good strategy these two advisors could think of was to encourage the gentry and powerful people in Hunan, Guangdong, and Guangxi to organize militia. However, in Volume 2 of the Anti-Classics, the rebellion of the gentry came out. It seemed that there was only a thin line between organizing militia and supporting the separatist regime!
As for letting Han officials manage the militia leaders, Volume 3 of "The Anti-Classic" also points out a way for the upper and lower levels to collude to form disciples, relatives, and brothers.

Moreover, the two volumes of "Anti-Classic" also pointed out a way for Han officials and gentry to upgrade their status by organizing militia and nurturing bandits to make money, maintain military power, and establish their own regimes. This is actually nothing new, but the "Lord's Path" that has been tested many times in history!

What was the intention of the person who wrote these two volumes of "Anti-Scriptures"?

I don't know how long it took, but I heard a "pop" sound, and then Sai Shang'a's tired and hoarse voice: "Who wrote this "Anti-Scripture"? What does the person who wrote this "Anti-Scripture" want to do? Does he want to alienate the Qing court and the Han officials and gentry in the world? It's wishful thinking! It's really wishful thinking!"

As soon as he said this, a family member came to the door to report something. Master Wang Shengming quickly put down the Anti-Scripture in his hand and walked out to greet him. He whispered a few words to the man, then walked up to Sai Shang'a and whispered, "Mr. Zhongtang, Wang Kuiyi, the one who lost Daozhou, is here. Do you want to see him?"

"He still has the nerve to come?" Sai Shang'a's face darkened. "Doesn't he know the rules? A minister who guards a territory is guilty of losing it! When he lost the territory he was in charge of, he should have behaved himself. Why is he still here?"

"Zhongtang," Master Kong took over the topic and said, "How about I go and ask him to be honored. At least he can have a grand funeral, and the debts owed to the capital can be settled after his death, and his descendants will not be burdened."

Just as Sai Shang'a was about to nod, Master Wang suddenly said, "No!"

Sai Shang'a and Master Kong both looked at him with surprise.

Master Wang said, "This Wang Kuiyi is the 800-man regiment commander who brought soldiers into the city!"

"What? Him..." Sai Shang'a subconsciously picked up the "Anti-Scripture" on the table and took a look at it, and was shocked.

Master Kong also murmured, "He has 800 soldiers, but instead of using them to defend the city, he brought them to Quanzhou. What does he want to do?"

Sai Shang'a gritted his teeth and said, "Do you even need to ask? He must be trying to gain power by himself!"
