When Hong Xiuquan bowed, the others naturally followed suit, including Luo Yaoguó.
Luo Yaoguo had no intention of pushing the "Tianjing incident" back to Suowei River ... He had only been down for a few days? He had just gained two battalions, and how could he possibly compete with Yang Xiuqing?
Moreover, the two units did not have a good relationship with each other. Neither had handed over their original duties, so they had not officially reported to Luo Yaoguo's side yet.
Su Sanlang is quite close to Luo Yaoguo, and has been busy arranging the angel's opening of the mansion these days, more so than Luo Yaoguo himself. However, the relationship between Luo Yaoguo and her has not been finalized... The Great Angel isn't yet used to having a girlfriend who kowtows and bows her head at every opportunity.
After all, Luo Yaoguo was still delivering takeout just a few days ago! For a woman with such appearance and status as Su Sanlang, he would not have been qualified even to be a crawler back then!
But now they worship him as a god... In a certain sense, he is truly a small deity! His "god factor" is much higher than Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, and Xiao Chaogui and the others! However, this change is really fast, and it would take anyone some time to adapt to it.
And even if Luo Yaoguo accepted Su Sanlang, he couldn't possibly make her go after Yang Xiuqing... The Tianjing Incident still has to be handled by Hong Xiuquan himself!
Seeing Hong Xiuquan, Luo Yaoguo, and Feng Yunshan all kneeling down, Yang Xiuqing, as the "God," breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
In these days, "God" is not easy to be!
Mainly because there is an angelic envoy sent by the true God — this guy might be able to contact the true God and the true Jesus, and can expose him as a false god at any time!
This child... Absolutely not to be kept!
However, it cannot be that God kills angels... Firstly, it may not be able to kill — angels have relics!
Secondly, after doing such a low-down deed, it will be difficult to deceive the people below into fighting to the death.
So the most feasible solution is to get him out of the center of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom...
When Yang Xiuqing thought of this, he spoke in the voice of God to Luo Yaoguo: "Yaoguo!"
Luo Yaoguo immediately called out, "Father."
The way he called out was incredibly intimate!
Yang Xiuqing's tone also softened somewhat, smiling and asking: "Have the five fish, two cakes, amoxicillin, and ibuprofen liquid been delivered?"
"All have been delivered," Luo Yaoguo replied, "The five fish have been distributed to the upper and lower ranks of the Taiping Army. The amoxicillin and ibuprofen liquid have been given to Brother Three. After taking the medicine, his injuries have greatly improved."
"Very good, very good!" Yang Xiuqing smiled and praised, "What about the second cake?"
"All have been given to the Heavenly King."
Yang the God lowered his tone: "Xiuquan!"
Hong Xiuquan deeply inhaled, answering in a low voice: "Father, Your servant is here."
"Have you divided the second cake among everyone?"
Hong Xiuquan shook his head, "Father, I can't open the two boxes that contain the second cake..."
In fact, Hong Xiuquan didn't know how to tear open the transparent adhesive tape on the cover of the mooncake box either. He dare not use brute force to destroy it because this is a treasure given by Brother Gao.
Yang Xiuqing smiled, "Send someone to fetch it, and I will open it!"
Can you do that?
Hong Xiuquan hesitated for a moment, but still turned around and shouted: "Bing Saniang, go fetch the second cake."
"Yes!" A red-robed woman, around thirty years old with a beautiful face, located outside the hall, responded and then stood up to leave. A few moments later, she cautiously carried in two boxes of mooncakes into the great hall.
Yang Xiuqing waved at her: "Bring it over!"
Bing Saniang had no choice but to carry the two mooncake boxes, kneel in front of Yang Xiuqing, and hold up the two stacked mooncake boxes.
Yang Xiuqing gave a surprised Luo Yaoguo a glance, then smiled triumphantly, picked up one of the mooncake boxes, and with his nails, pried at the transparent adhesive tape sealing the opening a few times until he broke through a piece. Then he pulled off a long strip of the torn tape.
"Opened!"
Yang Xiuqing smiled and shouted, and then lifted the lid of the mooncake box. Inside were four vacuum-packed Cantonese mooncakes!
"Yang the God" looked rather smugly at Hong Xiuquan, whose face was ashen, and Luo Yaoguo, who wore a wry smile, beneath him. He then handed the lid back to Bing Saniang, turned the box upright, and showed the four large vacuum-packed mooncakes inside to everyone.
Luo Yaoguo muttered to himself: "It seems that 'Yang the God' is proving his God status through such a small trick as opening the mooncake box... He is really clever!"
Yang Xiuqing took a look around the room with one eye, taking in the expressions of admiration, astonishment, or calm of everyone in the room. Then he continued: "In the two boxes together, there are a total of eight mooncakes. Xiuquan, you take two. Give Xiuqing, his esteemed son-in-law, Yunshan, Changhui, Daka open and Yaoguo each one. Xiuquan, you come first to take..."
The "God" started to distribute the mooncakes in public!
But is he really distributing mooncakes, or is he distributing power within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?
This is not a secret distribution behind closed doors, but a public distribution in front of a number of high and mid-level leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, made in the name of God!
The meaning behind this is crystal clear: the "divine power" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is now divided into eight parts, with Hong Xiuquan taking two, Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, Wei Changhui, Shi Daka, and Luo Yaoguo each taking one... There are no more.
This is the will of God!
Others are "gods" are fine with one piece, one piece is fine! Hong Xiuquan, on the other hand, gritted his teeth and took the two mooncakes... Eight parts out of twenty! The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was given to him by God. Now he takes two, while others take eight!
That's "My Heavenly Kingdom"!
However, Yang Xiuqing is the God now, and he has to endure it - if he can't bear it anymore, he needs to bear it again...
After distributing the mooncakes, Yang Xiuqing pretended to ask: "Do you know where the Little Paradise is?"
Hong Xiuquan quickly replied with a smiling face, "Both the mountain people and the national people say that the Little Paradise is in Jinling, and I think Jinling is quite good as well."
Yang the God nodded and was satisfied with Hong Xiuquan's "good son." So he began to recite a rhapsody loudly: "Jinling is indeed a Little Paradise, there is no doubt about it. All the children of the Heavenly Kingdom should concentrate and move forward courageously. Their fortunes and pleasures are already predestined!"
The rhapsody from the Father of Heaven is the highest edict of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
The plan to march to Jinling is now completely settled!
The people below, regardless of whether they wanted to or not, had no choice but to respect the Heavenly Father's edict.
Yang Xiuqing looked at the people below, who were as obedient as ever, and muttered: "The distance to Jinling is several thousand miles, with towering passes and strongholds one after another. Yongzhou and Lingling are the first major obstacles. The Holy Army wants to cross from Yongling, so it must send light troops to ambush Changsha... Who among you is willing to go and attack Changsha?"
After Yang Xiuqing posed the question, he directed his gaze towards Xiao Chaogui. Xiao Jesus shrank his neck and remained as still as a mountain there.
"Father, Daka is willing to go!"
At this moment, Shi Daka stood forward!
Yang Xiuqing furrowed his brow and asked seriously, "Daka, do you have confidence?"
"Yes!"
Shi Daka nodded vigorously, his young and handsome face full of confidence — this morning he had just tried shooting the "hundred-step head-shot bullet" organized by Wei Changhui and made by a master craftsman...
"No! You don't!" Yang Xiuqing said firmly, "Daka, do you know the terrain of Changsha? How many city gates does Changsha have? How high are the city walls? How wide and deep is the moat? How many soldiers are defending it? Who is the commanding general? Do you know?"
This actually caught Shi Daka off guard!
Where would Shi Daka know such information from? He was just a wealthy local from Zijing Mountain area in Guangxi, no matter how extraordinary his talent, his experience was limited. Having grown up, he had never left the borders of Guangxi province, how could he possibly know the situation of Changsha city?
Seeing that Shi Daka couldn't answer, Yang Xiuqing pointed at Luo Yaoguo with a lift of his hand, "He knows everything! Yaoguo, do you know how many city gates Changsha has?"
"I know, there are nine gates, commonly known as the 'Changsha Old Nine Gates'!"
Luo Yaoguo answered without hesitation.
"Do you know where the key to capturing Changsha lies?" Yang Xiuqing asked again.
Luo Yaoguo also answered without thinking: "I know, the south gate of Changsha, the Tianxin Pavilion wall city and Cai Gong Mound to the south of Changsha."
Yang Xiuqing nodded, as if he truly knew the correct answer.
The "God" then asked, "Who is currently guarding Changsha?"
Luo Yaoguo said: "It is the Hunan Provincial Governor Luo Bijing."
"That's him!" Hong Xiuquan interjected, speaking with resentment, "He is a devil from Huaxian County, Guangdong. He is the most detestable!"
That's really hateful! Luo Yaoguo nodded in agreement: This Luo devil passed the imperial examination for the sixty times in 1850 and was among the top twenty-seven in the imperial examination. He was also selected for the Hanlin Academy by passing the morning imperial examination. But Hong Emperor, despite taking countless examinations as a scholar, could not pass them. How can one not be filled with hatred?
"Yaoguo!" Yang Xiuqing looked solemnly at Luo Yaoguo and said, "Since you can foresee the future and know the ins and outs of Changsha City, why not lead your troops to rush to Changsha? This will draw the Manchu devils in Yongzhou to return and help, so that my main forces of Taiping Army can advance along the Xiang River!"
Hehe, Luo Yaoguo's heart coldly laughed: "Looks like Yang Xiuqing is digging a pit for me here, you want me to be Xiao Chaogui! But it's all right, I just want to go and explore Changsha and Xiangchuang!"
Seeing that Luo Yaoguo seemed to be pondering something, Yang Xiuqing thought he was thinking of a way to refuse. So he began to recite the Father's Poem in a tone of "God": "After hearing that, Yaoguo... You have the strongest will among angels. Knives, guns, bombs and cannonballs can hardly injure you. You are able to foretell the future and know the enemy's situation. You must build a great achievement by attacking Changsha!"
Son, give Changsha to you to conquer. And I will give you three generals and several thousand elite soldiers to help you achieve success!"
After saying these words, Yang Xiuqing didn't give Luo Yaoguo a chance to refuse, and yawned as if he was very tired, saying: "I have to return to the Heavenly Palace!"
