When Luo YaoGuo, dressed in neat attire, accompanied by Su SanNiang, walked out of the cabin, he was stunned by the magnificent scene before him.
Only seeing the western bank of the Xiang River and the pier of the Shui Tangwan in Shuang Li Li, all of them were "Hong Tou Ren"! The two sides of the broken pier on the east bank of Shui Tangwan, along the eastern bank of Xiang River, then there were wood boats one after another. The keel side of each wood boat close to the eastern bank of Xiang River was also stood with Taiping Revolutionaries wearing red scarves on their heads.
The number of people is probably not less than 30,000!
Among the "Hong Tou Ren" standing on the shore, there were very neat formations. Each person held a weapon in their hands, some held long spears, and others carried bird guns. In front of each formation, there were standard-bearers holding flags high, and Taiping army officers standing tall with chest out and belly protruding, holding the handles of their swords.
What surprised Luo YaoGuo most was that the 30,000 Taiping soldiers arrayed outside his wooden boat where he was sleeping did not make much noise. Therefore, he, as an angel, had no idea at all.
Now that the Taiping army had formed their ranks, they were even quieter. With 30,000 soldiers gathered together, it was as if there was not a single sound to be heard!
Just relying on this discipline, if there was a better organization of the God-Fearing Society, and if there was a set of policies that could mobilize poor farmers, as well as a path to unite the majority of lower-middle-class intellectuals, how could the world not be stable?
This is truly a great responsibility bestowed upon us!
Thinking of the great responsibility he carried, Luo YaoGuo felt a surge of emotion.
"Your carriage is ready, Your Highness." At this time, Su SanNiang approached Luo YaoGuo and pointed to a two-wheel electric bicycle near the pier and said to Luo YaoGuo.
There were more than 30 female soldiers dressed in red, riding horses in a formation behind the electric bicycle.
Su SanNiang said again: "I will lead a team of 43 sisters riding on horses to escort you, and there are another 44 sisters who will follow you on horseback to go to the Si Tou Rou Town."
"King Heaven, King East, King West, Queen West, King North, and General Wing will be waiting for you at the God Fearing Society in Si Tou Rou Town. At that time, King Heaven will formally confer upon you the title of 'God Angel of the Chinese people 4000 years old' in our Taiping Kingdom!"
"Good!"
"This is the day I officially become an angel, and from now on, I will no longer deliver food. Luo YaoGuo thought of his future and tears almost came down as he said to Su SanNiang, 'Lead the way!"
"Yes!"
"Of course!" Su SanNiang replied and then, with her hand on the sword handle, she strode towards the gangway tied to the ship's railing. Luo YaoGuo followed suit, taking deliberate steps as if he had no family connections, and they descended from the ship one after another.
After getting off the gangway, Luo YaoGuo found that there were already two rows of red-clad female soldiers standing on the pier. They formed a passage that led directly to Luo YaoGuo's "two-wheeled magic vehicle."
Luo YaoGuo followed Su SanNiang through them. Wherever he went, the female soldiers on both sides would kneel and salute him, which was truly a grand and solemn scene.
Soon, Luo YaoGuo reached his electric bicycle, which was a black "Black Knight" bicycle. It was bought by his family when he went to university. Later, it became a delivery vehicle, but now it was treated as a "holy artifact". It was not only cleaned up but also decorated with red and yellow ribbons. Due to the lack of knowledge of the Taiping troops on how to fold and unfold the kickstand, high-quality wooden material was specially used to build two stands for the bicycle, one on the left and one on the right, supporting the bicycle upright.
While Luo YaoGuo was staring at his bicycle in a daze, Su SanNiang had already come over to support his right arm, speaking in a gentle tone, "Your Highness, let me help you onto the bike."
Having a beautiful woman help him onto the electric bicycle was simply the "God of Takeout"!
Luo YaoGuo didn't hesitate, getting onto the bicycle with Su SanNiang's help. Looking down, he saw that the car key was still inserted and there was an additional red ribbon. He turned the key gently, and the display on the bicycle lit up. He looked down and saw that the battery power was still quite strong.
He turned his head to Su SanNiang and said, "Sister San, the bike can still be driven!"
Su SanNiang waved her hand, and two female soldiers came over to remove the supports on both sides of the bicycle. Then she bowed to Luo YaoGuo in a respectful manner and said, "Your Highness, as soon as the cannon sounds, we will set off."
"Good!" Luo YaoGuo nodded slightly.
He turned around and walked towards the horse squad, quickly climbing onto a horse alongside a group of female knights.
"Boom, boom, boom..."
Su SanNiang had just settled onto her horse, when several cannons mounted on the ship of Feng Yunshan began to fire. Soon after, Su SanNiang urged her horse with the reins and rode along a dirt path flanked by rows of Taiping military formations, leading a group of female knights towards the direction of the small town.
Luo YaoGuo quickly started his electric bicycle and followed suit...
As Luo YaoGuo's electric bicycle began to move, deafening cheers erupted!
......
The first person to raise their arms and cheer was Zeng Tianyang, an elder from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's Imperial Guard.
Zeng Tianyang was well over fifty years old and approaching sixty, but he looked no older than any other man his age. He had deep-set eyes and a long beard, a robust build, and an imposing presence that made him stand out as an exceptional warrior.
He is an "old subordinate" of Feng Yunshan, not only in age but also in seniority!
During the time when Feng Yunshan traveled to Zijing Mountain to spread his teachings, he lived in the house of his relative Zeng Yuzhen. The entire Zeng family of Zijing Mountain were developed into believers by Feng Yunshan.
The Zeng family was a literati family of the lower stratum—that is, a family of scholars, yet none of them had managed to achieve any academic success or obtained any imperial honors.
Although this family couldn't pass the imperial examinations in the Qing Dynasty, they were quite formidable on the Taiping Tian Kingdom's track. Each and every one of them was a prominent intellectual!
Zeng Tianyang, the Elder Zeng, even passed the imperial examinations in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom during his time in Yuanan Prefecture!
This old jinshi held the position of Yulin Escort in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. According to the current military system of the kingdom, guards, commanders, supervisors, military commanders and lower-ranking officials were all under the command of the five army leaders. Feng Yunshan was the commander of the rear army, and Elder Zeng served under him, actually commanding Feng Yunshan's escort troops and also participating in yesterday's battle at Shui Tangwan in Si Tou Rou Town.
So this gentleman and the thousands of people under his command are among the earliest witnesses to the "magic bicycle"!
The bike doesn't need horses to pull it, nor does it need people to push it; it just starts running on its own......This must be driven by magical power, a miracle!
Zeng Tianyang didn't see Luo YaoGuo descend from heaven with his own eyes yesterday, so he was a bit skeptical and thought it might be a trick concocted by his superior, Feng Yunshan, to fool people... But now he realized it was true!
It seems there are actually angels!
Since angels are indeed real, then the second son of God, King Heaven, and the third son of God, King Nan, must also be true!
With the Father of God and the Elder Brother of God at the helm, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom... is definitely destined to win!
Zeng Tianyang thought of this and led the way in cheering loudly, "Miracle! May the Father of God and the Elder Brother of God bless us!"
Zeng Tianyang's subordinates were all of his relatives from Zijing Mountain, and they held him in high regard as an elderly family member. Seeing him lead the cheers, they quickly joined in and shouted out in excitement: "Miracle! Miracle!"
When Zeng Tianyang and his subordinates began to shout, Tu Yi, the commander of the first army, who was standing opposite him, shifted his gaze from Su SanNiang to Luo YaoGuo on the electric bicycle. He was instantly startled — there really is magic!
This vehicle doesn't need horses to pull it, nor does it need people to push it, and yet it runs so fast on its own. What else could this be but magic?
Luo Da gang, like Su SanNiang, was from the Guangdong Tiandi Society, so they had known each other for a long time and had a good relationship. He was from the "boat army" — that is, pirates active on the Xijiang River, with a following of over a thousand people. He was convinced by Feng Yunshan and joined the God-Fearing Society.
However, the Cantonese Tiandi Society members did not really believe that Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, and King Heaven were Heavenly Father's sons. The brothers from Guangdong had seen and experienced a lot, and not only did they not believe that Hong Xiuquan was the second son of Heavenly Father, but they had also seen regular Christian priests established by foreign ghosts. Therefore, no one believed that Hong Xiuquan was a second son of Heavenly Father.
However, some of the Cantonese Tiandi Society members witnessed the scene of "the descent of an angel" yesterday, and Luo Da gang and his subordinates had also heard about it. Most of them were a bit skeptical and believed it was all a hoax, but today they saw it with their own eyes!
"Miracle! Miracle..."
Suddenly, a boy's voice echoed in Luo Da gang's ear. He turned his head and saw that it was the guard sent by the superior, a 15-year-old boy soldier named "Six-eyed Little Brother" Chen Pucheng.
This kid is a Guangxi Hakka, and he joined the God-Fearing Society with his uncle Chen Congyin and a large group of cousins. He belongs to the "crazed believers" and now seeing the "true miracle," surely he will explode right there on the spot?
With this "explosion," Luo Da gang also realized it — originally, I really followed a group of immortals to rise up against the Manchu Empire.
Now, we're definitely going to win!
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom must take the world!
"Miracle! Bless us, the Father of God and the Emperor of Heaven..."
This sturdy, fierce Hakka man also "exploded," raising his arms and shouting loudly.
When he shouted, his subordinates, the old brothers who followed from the Cantonese Tiandi Society, also followed in unison and shouted out like a roaring sea wave.
"Miracle! Miracle! Miracle!"
As the cheers from the crowd reached their loudest, suddenly an extremely generous music appeared out of nowhere, accompanied by exciting Cantonese lyrics that made people's blood boil: "Proud spirit, sailing through ten thousand waves, Bloodthirsty heat surpassing red sunlight, Heart as strong as iron, bones as sharp as steel, Chest a hundred thousand feet wide, Eyes reaching a million miles..."
This is a true miracle!
