On July 26, 1849, Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan returned to Bauhinia Mountain and announced that Yang and Xiao were possessed by Heavenly Father and Brother Tian. They designated the third day of the third month of the third lunar month as Yejiang Festival and the ninth day of September as Gejiang Festival.
Xiuqing and Chaogui could not help but kneel down to express their gratitude.
Xiuquan dismissed it and sang to himself:
The atmosphere in modern times is very different, and it is clear that Heaven intends to create heroes.
It is difficult for China to be trapped, but God must be worshiped.
The emperor of the Ming Dynasty once wrote poems about chrysanthemums, and the emperor of the Han Dynasty set wine to promote singing style.
There have been people who have done great things since ancient times, and the black mist has taken a lesson.
After singing, he continued: "The government imposed excessive taxes and levies, and the people were miserable. All the brothers in Pingshan have been busy for decades, but no one is rich. We will kill the demons and save the people from the fire."
Feng Yunshan said to Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui: "Two brothers, this is the new work of the King of Heaven, "Yuan Dao Awakening World Instructions", please take a look at it."
Yang Xiuqing said: "Master Hong is really the heavenly king of the true way. He holds a lotus flower in his mouth and speaks a few words, which makes the sky full of flowers. I want you to stop trying to scare the snake and destroy the boat! Although I understand it at a glance, I don't know big characters, so I won't read the book."
Xiao Chaogui said: "The demon is the pure demon, the demon is the green demon, the leader has high moral character, and Brother Feng has outstanding achievements, he will be able to sweep everything away."
Feng Yunshan said: "It is important to make plans as soon as we have decided on a major matter. This life is at stake and must not be leaked."
Hong Xiuquan said: "Thousands of armies are easy to get, but one general is hard to find. In Nabang Village, Shi Dakai is a young hero, full of strategies. Brother Yunshan must win over him again. The martial scholar is Hu Yihuang from Huazhou Mountain. This man values love and righteousness. However, However, he was repeatedly bullied by the evil gentry, so he must be comforted again. The soldiers and horses went ahead with food and grass before they moved, and money was used to provide food and grass for the soldiers and horses. Wei Changhui of Jintian Village had a rich family. Because of Chengjun's official career, his father was imprisoned, and he spent three hundred taels of silver. Shi, this resentment is as deep as the sea, and this gap can be drilled; I will go to Jintian and talk about Changhui. This person has taken care of it, and the great thing has been accomplished. The two brothers Xiuqing and Chaogui, this "Yuan Dao Jue Shi Xun", will wait for Yunshan's leisure time , I will speak to you, now I should contact heroes from all over the world in the name of the true religion, just waiting for my order.
That night, Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan sneaked into Wei's house.
Wei's father and son sighed and asked why. It turned out that the inspector Wang Ji and the scholar Lan Rujian came again to ask for the silver tattoo.
Xiuquan said: "Silver is like water, flowing into the official's house endlessly. It is better to open a furnace and make a knife to eradicate demons."
The Wei family father and his son negotiated again and again, and finally nodded together. Within five days, they purchased a hundred white geese and built twelve furnaces. For a time, the fire of Jintian Village was the same as the glow of the sun, and the goose chirping and crackling sounds resonated.
Scholar Wang Zuoxin, Lan Rujian found out, and then reported to Wang Ji for inspection.
Wang Jidao: "There are many villagers who have joined the meeting, and scoundrels from far and near follow them as ordered. There is no real evidence for such a big event, so it is inconvenient to report it. In addition, bandits from heaven and earth will wreak havoc throughout the territory, so you must not cause trouble rashly."
Lan Rujian said: "How can we let him do whatever he wants?"
Wang Jidao: "How can you! Advertise the squire and recruit people to compete with the sect. Many tribes in Gui are fighting, fighting, and fighting with weapons. Even if people die, the law does not punish the people and let it go."
Wang Zuoxin resented Wang Ji's arbitrariness, sighed deeply, took his family and left for Wuxuan.
Lan Rujian contacted the gentry and landlords, organized group training, and opposed the church members everywhere. Pingnan, Guiping, Guixian, Xinyi and other church leaders were all beaten. Hu Yihuang, Shi Dakai, Ling Shiba, etc. were unwilling to be humiliated and fought back hard. .
This situation was in full swing and lasted for more than a year. Seeing that the time was ripe, Hong Xiuquan summoned Feng Yunshan, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai, Hu Yihuang and others to discuss the matter.
Xiuquan said: "Conflicts with officials are inevitable. Daoguang, the leader of the demon, died at the beginning of the year. This is a God-given opportunity. Jintian Village, the exit of Zijing Mountain, can be attacked when entering and defended when retreating. This is the order of the Heavenly King. , gather the people together, form a camp, the camp is divided into men and women, and the distinction between men and women is clearly defined. If you step over the top, you will show your head to the public; all the members of the congregation will put it into the holy treasury, keep it privately, and their lives will not be saved. Brothers of the family immediately order the members of the congregation to realize all their possessions. , bringing their families and families together in the golden field, united as one, to slay the demons."
Feng Yunshan said: "The government is doing its best to encircle and suppress the Tiandihui, and there is no time for him to take care of it. This opportunity is once in a lifetime."
After Feng Yunshan finished speaking, Yang Xiuqing suddenly let out a groan and crawled to the ground. Everyone hurriedly helped him up, beat his back, rubbed his hands and pinched people, so they were all busy.
Xiuquan said: "Brother Yang has lost his parents and is lonely. Now he is suffering from illness. The misfortune of my younger brother has broken my heart. This place is noisy. Brother Yang has a lot of money. Go to Ping Zaishan to recuperate."
Suddenly, Xiao Chaogui started dancing again and shouted: "Brother Xiuquan, do you know me?"
Hong Xiuquan and others hurriedly knelt down and worshiped. Xiuquan said anxiously: "How can the younger brother not recognize the voice and appearance of the elder brother?"
Xiao Chaogui said: "You must follow my brother Xiuquan and serve the country with all your might. Huazhou is a dangerous place with many people, and there are many followers of our God. Hu Yihuang is weak on his own. Xiuquan and Yunshan go to guide him immediately. There must be no delay!" High in the sky, Wei Zheng and I are of the same kind, so brother Xiuquan, please treat yourself well. Take care, I'm leaving!"
Xiao Chaogui returned to his human form, knelt down and worshiped Xiuquan, and asked Brother Tian what he was talking about?
Hong Xiuquan told the truth.
Feng Yunshan said: "Shanren Village is surrounded by mountains, with only a small road leading to the outside. It is a place where soldiers died. It is dangerous for the leader to go here. Feng is willing to go alone. Can Brother Xiao ask Tianyin again?"
Xiao Chaogui said: "If there is no sign, you won't get it. The leader doesn't have to go either."
Hong Xiuquan said: "Brother Tian has sent a message and Jin Yu has good advice. Yunshan and I will go to Shanren Village right away to advise the brothers to come to the Jintian regiment camp as soon as possible. You brothers should also hurry up and work harder."
After Xiao Chao said goodbye, Hong Xiuquan said to Feng Yunshan: "The thoughts of ordinary people are as small as chicken intestines. The most important thing is to leave quickly, as lightning can't cover your ears. I have returned to gold before the demons have heard of it. There are three thousand followers in Huazhou, and Hu Yihuang is brave and talented. Those who are more careful than others; all their belongings are put into my holy treasury, and they are sincere and loyal. They can know the heavenly Father, and they can also know you and me. We act in secret, and there is no danger."
Ping Zaishan was closest to Jintian. Xiao Chaogui gave an order, and within ten days, three thousand followers had gathered.
In Jintian Village, Wei Jun, Wei Changhui's younger brother, did not want to join the camp and said: "My family has spent all its money and donated tens of thousands of silver. Chaoping has three thousand people in the mountain. Is it worth it for you, my eldest brother, to be the fifth son of Heavenly Father?" ?”
Wei Changhui said: "Scholarships, inspections, and government offices not only ask for money, but also for lives. If you are so busy, you will do nothing in your life. We don't make rice, we only fight for our breath."
Shi Dakai gathered a crowd of 4,000 people in Gui County, defeated Tuan Lian and surrounded him, and arrived at Baishawei at the border of Guizhou and Guizhou. More than a thousand people including Nawuming duo Lin Fengxiang and Li Kaifang rushed to Jintian.
Lu Chuan Laijiu was blocked by Xie Xingchao, the leader of the Lu Chuan regiment. When they arrived at Yulin, Gu Kaigeng, the magistrate of the state, led his troops to pursue him. Lai Jiu set up an ambush and defeated the state soldiers. He also killed Tang Guipan, the deputy commander of the cotton regiment, in Changgang, and then defeated Beiliu and Bobai Lianyong to pursue the troops until they reached the Jintian regiment camp.
Bobai Huang Wenjin led 2,000 followers on a remote mountain road, crossed the mountains and crossed the river, and had a smooth journey. Qin Rigang led Qianlongshan miners, who also arrived at the same time.
In addition, Pingnan Huazhou Meng Deen led 300 neighbors, Gulin Society Zeng Tianyang led 40 or 50 people, and Guiping Su 19 led more than a thousand hungry people, also came to Jintian to seek refuge.
Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan arrived at Huazhou Shanren Village and persuaded the congregation. Just as they were about to leave, they heard that Xiao Chaogui was possessed by Jesus again and named Wei Changhui the fifth son of Heavenly Father.
Hong Xiuquan was displeased and stopped to watch Xiao's movements again. In less than a month, Xiao Chaogui performed this method ten times in the name of Jesus and transferred the souls of 23 people, including Qin Rigang and Chen Yushu, to heaven.
Hong Xiuquan said to Feng Yunshan, "You and I are puppets with strings? We are the ones who win over the congregation, make the rituals and regulations, and plan to found the country. I am my younger brother. Yang and Xiao are deceiving the world with their child prodigies!"
Feng Yunshan said: "The situation is at stake and we don't stick to trivial matters. It's not easy to stay here for a long time, so it's best to move at a speed of thirty-six meters."
Hong Xiuquan said: "We have six thousand people, but we are still afraid of hundreds of people practicing bravery? We immediately set up camp and set up strongholds, started fires, forged weapons, and trained men and horses."
Hu Yihuang said: "The mountain road is narrow, and the soldiers and horses cannot move. The Xunzhou Prefecture Army has been ready to move recently. If the enemy blocks the way out, and if they occupy Siwangwei again, we will be in despair."
Hong Xiuquan said: "The Xunzhou Prefecture Army has only a thousand people, so there is no need to worry."
