Han’s Son is Not a Slave

Chapter 210: clear demon

When the explosion at Yushikou on the other side of the river sounded, Shang Zhixin, the prince of Pingnan, who was sitting outside Xinhui City, was awakened just after falling asleep. Thought the explosion came from Xinhui City. In the line of sight, Xinhui City is still shrouded in the dark night, and you can't hear any movement quietly. If it weren't for the lights that occasionally flashed on the top of the city, it only makes people feel that this Xinhui City is a dead city, empty. one person.

In the relatively quiet Xinhui City, the Qing army camp outside the city was bombed, and there was an uproar, and everyone was nervously asking each other what was going on. Some Qing soldiers, who were awakened by the explosion, thought it was the Taiping army attacking the camp in Xinhui City, and fled around in a panic. The officer in the middle was so frightened that his heart was raised in his throat, lest one accidentally scream.

Seeing this, Shang Zhixin's brows couldn't help wrinkling. As the son of the Prince of Pingnan, he was born in a military town. Although he looked like a reckless man in the eyes of outsiders, and the new siege of Xinhui under the command of the second coach failed again. He lost a lot of prestige, but in his bones, he was much stronger than those playboys, and his ability to kill the enemy and command battles was much higher, otherwise Shang Kexi would not rest assured that he would continue to sit in the army.

Without hesitation, Shang Zhixin instructed him to go down and press down on the panicked soldiers, and then asked Goshha on the left and right, "Where is the sound?"

Goshha on the left and right was also at a loss, not knowing where the loud noise came from. Seeing that they didn't know, Shang Zhixin couldn't help being annoyed. Send someone to call the generals on duty tonight.

Qin Guocheng, the commander-in-chief of Shang's own army, was the first to arrive, and at the same time, he brought Shang Zhixin a shocking thunderstorm at the fish market's mouth water division camp and caught fire!

….

"Blow up, blow up!"

"It's on fire. It's on fire, the Demon-Clearing Water Master is on fire!"

The Taiping army and the Qing army on the city wall heard the loud noise at the same time, but they saw the fire in the Guangdong naval camp more than ten miles away before the Qing army under the city.

I don't know when, the Taiping Army's name for the Qing army changed from "Tatar" to "Qing Yao". It is said that this is because their commander Zhou Shixiang was reluctant to call those Han Chinese Green Battalion soldiers Tatar, but he didn't know how to call them. These Green Camp Qing soldiers who betrayed their ancestors and helped Zhou to abuse, they simply called them demons on a whim. "Qing Yao" who helped Zhou to abuse.

The expression "Qing Yao" first became popular in the trap camp, because most of the members of the trap camp came from Laofengzhuang Copper Mine. Yingbaihu Tie Yi and others were all Luo cultists before they followed Zhou Shixiang, so under the secret push of these Luo cult officers, the soldiers who were trapped in the camp quickly agreed that the Qing soldiers who murdered, set fire, and committed all evils were demons and ghosts, and they were God sent to kill the demons and exorcise them.

Under the impetus of the trapped camp. It didn't take long for the lower-level sergeants of the fifth battalion of the Taiping Army to agree with the name "Qing Yao". Although there is no sign that the Luojiao has begun to spread throughout the army, there is evidence that Tie Yi is a Luojiao-born officer. They are very willing to promote the Luo religion they believe in in the whole army, and the phrase "clearing demons" meets their missionary needs to a large extent.

At the top level of the Taiping Army, traditionally educated officials and officers such as Song Xianggong were dissatisfied with the term "Qing Yao", thinking that this term would easily lead outsiders to misunderstand that the Taiping Army was a team that worshipped gods and worshipped ghosts, or even a team Religious army. Just like the Yellow Turban Army or the Red Turban Army.

Song Xianggong believed that once outsiders were given the association of the Taiping Army as a religious team, then the Taiping Army would become a common enemy in the world, and both the Manchu Qing and Nanming would regard it as an enemy. After all, the orthodox world is Confucianism, and Confucianism is the most hostile to gods and ghosts. Now both the Manchu and the Southern Ming regard Confucianism as orthodox, and the gentry and scholars everywhere respect the way of Confucius and Mencius. If the Taiping Army evolves into a religious group, these people will be hostile to the Taiping Army, whether they support the Ming Dynasty or the Qing Dynasty. This will make the future of the Taiping Army fall into a situation where there are enemies on all sides, and there is no support or help at all. This is sure to be fatal to the survival of the Taiping Army.

However, the objections and worries of Song Xianggong and others were not accepted by Zhou Shixiang, or Zhou Shixiang did not take their concerns to heart at all. When the name "Qing Yao" is now very popular among the sergeants in the army who do not know big characters, He simply formalized this title and used the title of "Qing Yao" to the Qing army on various occasions, which made Song Xianggong and the others very helpless, and had to emphasize to some camp elders that this demon is not another demon, so as to downplay it." The anti-damage power brought by the title of "Qing Yao" to the Taiping Army.

Song Xianggong also mentioned the issue of Luojiao to Zhou Shixiang, and even concealed that the composition of soldiers trapped in the camp would be unfavorable for the future development of the Taiping Army, and the religious background of Baihu Tieyi and others could easily bring hidden dangers to the Taiping Army. I thought that Zhou Shixiang, a scholar from Qianhu, would resonate with his reminder, but he never thought that when Zhou Shixiang learned in detail that the so-called Luojiao was an evolved branch of the Maitreya Religion during the Red Scarf Uprising at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, or it was a reformation. After picking up the name of the White Lotus Sect, he became interested in the Luo Sect, and sent someone to call Tie Yi and other officers from the Luo Sect to talk for a night.

Afterwards, no one knew what Zhou Shi said to Tie Yi and other Luo disciples~www.NovelMTL.com~ Even Song Xianggong didn't know, because Zhou Shi didn't say much to him, just vaguely said, and finally smiled, Song Xianggong continued to ask questions, and he avoided talking about it.

With the attitude of the coach, Duke Xiang of Song naturally couldn't say anything more about this matter, so Luo Jiao's affairs were put on hold. It's just that no matter what the people around him say, Duke Xiang of Song always gritted his teeth and didn't mention the term "Qing Yao", only called Tartar or Qing army.

When the explosion sounded, Song Xianggong and Zhou Shixiang stood silently behind the crenel and waited. When the loud noise came to his ears, his heart shook violently, although he was very dissatisfied with the "clear demon" statement of the soldiers behind him. But he was still excited in an instant, and the whole person was as excited as chicken blood, and his eyes were fixed on the direction of Yushikou. When the flames rose into the sky, the fist he had been clenched was loosened. In a very fortunate tone, he murmured in a low voice: "Success, success!"

It was successful, and the fire finally started!

At this moment, Zhou Shixiang's heart was even more excited than Song Xianggong beside him. The fire at Yushikou decided the survival of the Taiping Army. During the torment of waiting, he hoped for the fire to rise into the sky countless times. Hope died with the passage of time, until the loud noise came.

Burn, burn fiercely, burn everything, burn out a dawn! (To be continued)
