Chapter 3: The Rise of the Great Powers 208 Messengers of Heaven

"The surname of the Guangzhou family is Zhang and Feng, who is the secretary of the Southern Branch of the Democratic and Liberal Party of China."

Feng Yunshan said with a surprise face: "Mr. Zhang turned out to be the ** party member that Xiuqing said. Just enter Zijing Mountain."

"I don't know how the God Worship Association was going on? Some foreign friends asked me to come and understand the situation this time. If it is appropriate, they will give you free help."

"The court was not fighting with those foreign dogs in a hot mood. How many people were killed in Shanghai last year?"

"You can't say that. There are also people among the foreigners who oppose the court. What's more, the God you believe in is passed down from the foreigners. They are very happy that some people in China believe in God. They are willing to help those who believe in the same faith as them."

Although Feng Yunshan was a little disliked about this, he was here to help after all, so he didn't say much.

Yang Xiuqing interrupted from the side and said, "Mr. Feng, Brother Zhang is here to help us, don't think too much. Should we contact Mr. Hong to come here?"

After thinking for a moment, Feng Yunshan nodded.

Ten days later, Hong Xiuquan arrived at Zijing Mountain. Zijing Mountain is located in the northeast of Guiping County, between Guiping, Pingnan, Wuxuan, Xiangzhou and Jinxiu Yao Mountain. It is under the jurisdiction of Guiping and Wuxuan counties. The entire area is more than 500 miles wide, with high mountains standing on all sides, with hills in the middle, ravines and ravines crisscrossing, forests are lush, Han villages, Zhuang Township and Yao villages scattered. Among the 6,000 residents, the Hakka people moved to Guangdong account for the majority, and they have the advantage in politics, economy and culture.

Because of the small land and many people in this area, in addition to clearing land and planting mountains, residents mostly use firewood to chop firewood to assist in their lives. They are oppressed and exploited by landlords and mountain dominance, and their lives are very poor, which has brought convenience to Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan's missionary work.

After more than a year of missionary preaching, Feng Yunshan has gathered more than 2,000 believers here. However, compared with the history of another time and space, the situation Hong Xiuquan is facing is completely different now.

Since the establishment of the armed forces in 1841, the situation where bandits in Zijing Mountain was originally a major improvement. By 1843, the Guangxi General Yamen sent officers to the armed forces in Guiping, Pingnan, Wuxuan and Xiangzhou, and organized militias in various places to carry out a large-scale sweep. The bandits in Zijing Mountain were wiped out completely. Once the bandits were eliminated, vendors returned to the mountain roads, and the situation where the city's grain was gradually becoming more expensive also improved. This greatly alleviated the local unstable situation. By 1845, Xiutong came to the

The railway from Wuzhou to Nanning Prefecture, this railway passes through Guiping. The emergence of the railway has made Guiping more prosperous, and local specialties can also be transported to all parts of the country by railway. In addition to local banks already appearing. After the railway is built, schools, post offices, and traditional Chinese medicine hospitals have also appeared in Guiping one after another. These factors undoubtedly improved the local living environment, but the worship of God by Hong Xiuquan and others will still grow stronger in this different environment. Moreover, as transportation becomes more convenient, some different forces begin to contact and connect with each other.

Hong Xiuquan met Zhang Feng in Feng Yunshan's private school. Two pairs of sharp eyes confronted each other. After a polite manner, both sides fell down. Zhang Feng habitually pinched his Western-style clothes and said, "I wonder what kind of country Mr. Hong wants to build?"

"The world is the public, and the kingdom of heaven is established, and the rich and the poor are equal, and the fields are equal. Those who plough have their own fields. Weaver has their own clothes."

Zhang Feng asked with a smile: "Diligent people get more, and lazy people get less. Do you also need to share the gains of both?"

Hong Xiuquan angrily rebuked: "The people who work hardest in the world in the fields are often the ones who get the least gain. Have you seen those landlords in the fields who have worked in the fields?"

Zhang Feng smiled and did not respond to Hong Xiuquan's topic. The two of them didn't say anything more than a single sentence. The brief meeting ended soon. But it attracted the attention of another person.

This man's surname is Wei and his name is Zheng. He also has some land in the local area. He went to the countryside to collect rent.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

The guy said: "The nearby silver miners have joined the God-sacred religion. Yang Xiuqing, a group of charcoal-burning people, also joined the group. I heard that these people are all against the imperial court."

Another guy raised his fingers to his mouth and whispered: "Shh, these things are going to cause a big disaster."

While he was talking, a guy looked at the door of Yang Xiuqing's house with his eyes and said, "You see, people have come out. These people worship God's religion, for the one named Feng Yunshan. He is a teacher."

Wei Zheng looked over and saw three people walking out of the house. He knew one of them, wasn’t that Zhang Feng?

Why did Wei Zheng recognize Zhang Feng, but he had to start with Wei Zheng's father. Although Wei Zheng's father Wei Yuan had some money, he was unable to avoid the leisure of some powerful officials because his family had no fame. Later, the Mutual Aid Association was established in Weiyuan Village. Wei Yuan heard that the Mutual Aid Association was established under the imperial edict, and the people who joined the Mutual Aid Association could report to him even if they had resentment. After hearing this, Wei Yuan joined the Mutual Aid Association. Sure enough, after joining the Mutual Aid Association, Wei Yuan's status improved greatly. As long as local officials heard that they were from the Mutual Aid Association, they were from the Mutual Aid Association.

, and give some face. After paying off the sweetness, Wei Yuan was particularly active in the meeting. Every now and then, Wei Yuan took out some spare money to support the poor and helpless people in the association, and occasionally helped the widows in the village. Seeing Wei Yuan active, the people in the association also regarded Wei Yuan as a local small leader. With this position, Wei Yuan naturally had to come into contact with some affairs in the meeting. Wei Zheng saw a portrait of Zhang Feng on his father's desk, and there was also a dangerous character named Zhang Feng under the portrait, so today Wei Zheng recognized Zhang Feng at a glance.

After Wei Zheng returned, he told his father in detail and explained the ins and outs of the God-worshiping Church and the people. After hearing this, Wei Yuan couldn't help but rub his hands and said, "My son, you have made great contributions to your father. If you report such a big thing, you will definitely receive rewards. If my Wei family can prosper in the future, it will be my son's achievements today, and it is better for my son to be called Wei Changhui from today."
