There are so many wonders in the world that Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan had to believe that they had arrived in the world one hundred and twenty-two years ago. Although he was surprised, Lin Haifeng was really secretly grateful. Especially, when he saw Shi Dakai who happened to arrive in Shi Zhenlun's room in Tianbao City, he actually felt a strange sense of joy.
He was so familiar with the history of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom that he once dreamed of being one of them. Days, days! He had shed tears of sadness over that tragic period of history. Who would have thought that he would really come to this world and be given the opportunity to change this period of history with his own hands?
His mind is spinning rapidly
You must reveal your identity to Shi Dakai, and you cannot treat others as ignorant fools. If he could not completely gain the trust of Shi Dakai, who happened to meet him, even temporarily, it would be impossible to quickly enter the decision-making level of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although he didn't know which day in history this was, according to his estimation, it shouldn't have been long since the heroes of the Celestial Dynasty had just entered Tianjing. The Western Expedition and the Northern Expedition are estimated to be about to begin or have already begun. If they cannot gain a speaking position within the Celestial Empire as soon as possible, it will bring considerable trouble to future development.
"Haifeng, what should we do?" Zheng Nan looked at Lin Haifeng who was thinking blankly.
"We must make Shi Dakai believe in who we are. But he can only let him know this secret." Lin Haifeng raised his head, his eyes radiating with perseverance.
"Will he believe it?"
"Do you really think that people in this era only believe in God and don't believe in what they see with their own eyes? Our ancestors are not that stupid, right?" Lin Haifeng looked at Zheng Nan inexplicably, and suddenly, he smiled, "If it were you, would you believe it if I took you into our helicopter now?"
"This" Zheng Nan looked at Lin Haifeng for a while, "Believe it or not, at least I should be able to see that you are an absolutely powerful person."
"That's right." Lin Haifeng nodded, "There are books and calendars on the plane, and there are everything that can prove that we Chinese made it, but we absolutely don't have it now. The most important thing is that we met him. If it were someone else, I I would rather say that I was sent by God." Lin Haifeng stretched out his arm, revealing the "Shanghai" brand watch on his wrist.
Zheng Nan smiled. Alas, this Haifeng is such a genius. What would he do if it were someone else today?
¡°What¡¯s next?¡±
"Let Shi Dakai believe that we are his true friends," Lin Haifeng stood up, "Then we will be God's representatives, fight for kings, fight for power, and completely transform this place!"
Seeing with his own eyes the "Iron Bird" driven by these two uninvited guests and the various equipment on board, Shi Dakai had to believe that the people sitting in front of him now were indeed two standard soldiers more than a hundred years later, at least as good as them Not from the same world.
He is so knowledgeable that he cannot understand anything else. He can always understand the boxes and boxes of guns and ammunition on the plane. It is impossible for foreigners to have those things, let alone the Qing Dynasty today.
He was novel, confused, and at a loss There are really no words that can clearly express his state of mind at this time.
In a room with closed doors and windows, and a heavily guarded room outside the door, it was already midnight when I listened alone to Lin Haifeng's general account of the development and final destination of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Shi Dakai sat dumbly, the cup of tea that had already turned cold in his hand shook slightly and spilled on his royal robe, but he didn't even know it.
The Jintian Uprising, the founding of Yong'an, and the capture of Jinling all these past experiences from Lin Haifeng's eloquent story can also inspire him to be full of pride. But the subsequent failure of the Northern Expedition, the failure of the Western Expedition, the rise of Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army, the Hongyang Rebellion, Wei Changhui's forced conquest, his departure in anger, and the final defeat of Sichuan's Dadu River shocked him. .
How could the Celestial Empire end like this? This is not what Shi Dakai hopes and sees.
However, as a true military strategist of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he had already keenly felt the variables in the success or failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom from what the other party said, and he completely believed what the other party said.
At this time, he began to fully believe in the special origins of the two people in front of him. This is because few senior officials within the Taiping Rebellion have a clearer understanding of the development history of the Taiping Rebellion in the past two years since the Jintian Regiment Camp than Lin Haifeng. Especially the commander of every major war, especially every major operation he presided over, is even more rarely known. What's more, until now, apart from those old Jintians, there are absolutely few people outside who can tell clearly who are the upper-level figures with real power within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? The Manchu and Qing Dynasties who faced them were not happy.Well, the common people don¡¯t even know. And all of this, Lin Haifeng can also keep in mind.
Shi Dakai has never believed that there are ghosts and gods in this world, let alone so-called divination and other deceptive lies. He does not believe even the so-called possession of the Heavenly Father by the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing who can deceive a large number of people in the Celestial Dynasty. Just like Lin Haifeng said, if Lin Haifeng and others dare to say that they are some bullshit gods from heaven and earth, Shi Dakai will not only not believe it, but will actually send them to the west!
Now, Shi Dakai is thinking: But if if if
All of this can be avoided and changed. Isn't the arrival of these two people just because the sky has eyes, isn't it China's luck, isn't it just an intentional arrangement? Thinking of this, Shi Dakai felt relieved again.
He put down the tea cup, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and breathed a long sigh of relief. He introduced the development situation of China to Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan in detail, and finally asked softly: "Brother Lin, what do you think about the development of our China?" He Jianjiao?¡±
¡°Dig a hole deep, accumulate food widely, and don¡¯t seek hegemony,¡± Lin Haifeng blurted out, and immediately realized his mistake.
He glanced at Zheng Nan, who was chuckling, and continued, "There are many difficulties in changing all military arrangements overnight, but we can adapt to them. For example, if we march westward and take the three towns of Anqing, Jiujiang, and Wuhan in the west, we can hold them The west gate of Tianjing has opened up the material channel needed by Tianjing. It is the best policy for you to preside over the Western Expedition. But what we have to do is to enrich the country and strengthen the army. All the land we occupy must be consolidated and given to The people should not just talk about the practical benefits, but also develop the economy of various places, so that more people will defect to and support us. We must not be like before, where we lose, and then we fight again."
"Based on the current situation, due to limited military strength, the Northern Expedition should be temporarily canceled and Lin Fengxiang's troops should be immediately withdrawn to Tianjing to preserve this powerful force of the Chinese dynasty. The top priority is to completely crush Xiang Rong's Jiangnan camp outside Tianjing. , this is a problem. There needs to be a stable territory around Tianjing that can allow us to develop. An isolated city in Tianjing does not produce grain, rice, or gold and silver. There is no way out if it is trapped for a long time. Now, Shanghai There has been an uprising led by Liu Lichuan and others, and the Xiaodao Society has occupied the entire Shanghai county. Xiang Rong no longer has any more power to concentrate on Tianjing. We can just use this opportunity to eliminate Xiang Rong and immediately march eastward with all our strength to capture Shanghai. , and then seize and consolidate Jiangsu and Zhejiang as a reliable material guarantee for the Celestial Empire. Finally, troops will be sent out from Fujian and Guangxi to pacify the entire south of the Yangtze River. We must rely on the money and food from the rich areas in the south of the Yangtze River to develop new weapons, and then go all out for the Northern Expedition "
Shi Da couldn¡¯t help but nodded. He agreed with Lin Haifeng¡¯s analysis. This approach avoided conflicts with Dong Wang. When he thought of Dong Wang, he couldn't help but sigh, but an idea immediately flashed through his mind.
When Lin Haifeng finished speaking, he smiled slightly and said: "Shi completely agrees with what Brother Lin said. However, there are foreign forces in Shanghai now. If they join forces with Qingyao to resist us, I'm afraid it will take a lot of trouble." Besides, even if Lin Fengxiang's troops withdraw to Tianjing, due to the constraints of the Qingyao Jiangbei camp, the military strength is still slightly weak if they want to eliminate Xiang Rong, the old demon leader, let alone the Eastern Expedition. How to solve this? "
Lin Haifeng smiled, picked up the pistol on the table and played with it a few times, "Is my gun better than a foreign gun?" He blinked and looked at Shi Dakai.
"Yes," Shi Dakai nodded, "Since it can fire continuously, it is naturally much better than a foreign gun."
"Well, that's right." Lin Haifeng put down his gun gently and smiled coldly, "We can make many such weapons and build a new type of army, which will not only conquer the Qing court, but also the foreigners who will join us." Trembling in front.¡±
"Great!" Shi Dakai clapped his thigh excitedly, thought for a while and then said, "Looking at the faces of the two brothers, I guess they should be about the same age as Shi, right?"
Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan looked at each other.
Lin Haifeng laughed and said: "I am twenty-three this year, Zheng Nan is twenty-two, why"
Shi Dakai laughed and said, "Don't get me wrong, Shi is one year older and wants to sworn brothers with two different surnames. What do you think?" In fact, what Shi Dakai told was a lie. He himself had just turned twenty-three this year.
Without waiting for the two of them to reply, he stood up, took one of them by the hand, and said sincerely, "Shi has no other intentions. I just want to implore you two brothers to do your best to help the Kingdom of Heaven and achieve its great cause!"
Lin Haifeng, Zheng Nan, you look at me, I look at you, and smile.
Keeping everything simple, the three of them completed their sworn vows.
Shi Dakai opened the window, took a few deep breaths of the fresh air blowing in front of him, and said relaxedly: "It's getting dark, I'll go see the King of Heaven right away." Then, he said what he had just thought aboutHe spoke in detail to Lin and Zheng.
Seeing that the two of them were a little confused, he smiled bitterly and said: "The King of East relies on the possession of the Heavenly Father to restrain the King of Heaven. This is the only way we can resolve it. In fact, King Dong is also a talented person, but he likes it too much. It¡¯s arbitrary.¡±
In fact, Lin Haifeng knew in his heart that if he wanted to gain a foothold here, his first priority now was to make full use of the weaknesses of Hong Xiuquan's God-Worship Society and use more superstitious methods to restrain them. It's just that he doesn't want to fully confess himself in front of Shi Dakai.
After Shi Dakai finished speaking, he turned to call Shi Zhenlun, who had been waiting outside the door, patted him on the shoulder, pointed at Lin Haifeng and Zheng Nan and said: "Zhenlun, I want to tell all the brothers here tonight that they are heavenly beings." The envoys sent by Father are here to help us eliminate the demons. We must protect their safety!"
¡°Subsequently, he asked Shi Zhenlun to be responsible for arranging the food and rest for Lin and Zheng, and told them to follow their orders in everything. He himself immediately went down the mountain and ran to the Heavenly King's Mansion
