(Thanks to Tang Dongxue for giving 20,000 starting points coins. I am so proud. Please accept my knees and two updates to make up for the weekend! At the same time, I also thank you for the long-term support of the cool summer reward of 20 starting points coins, Juezhaofeng Night reward of 10 starting points coins. I will work hard!)

There is no way to know how the fire in the Old Summer Palace happened, but Zhili Governor Gui Liang was Yi's father-in-law. The Old Summer Palace was looted, so he would definitely not be able to escape the heavy punishment. Chen Fuen, Zhou Peizu, Senggelinqin and others who were in Beijing at that time were always in good terms with Yi, so the reason behind this is inevitable.

Fortunately, Zhang Yuntian has mastered the internal and external structure and layout of the entire Summer Palace, and even extracted DNA samples from the strange flowers and plants inside before leaving. Otherwise, the destruction of such a famous garden would definitely cause huge losses in the entire history of human civilization.

As for the terms of the embarrassing power and humiliation signed by the Qing court and Britain and France, the huge amount of silver compensated and the large area of ​​land ceded to Russia, Zhang Yuntian doesn’t care at all now. If you dare to take it, I will dare to take it, and you will definitely return it twice as much!

At this time, he had led more than a hundred people to lie out during the day and at night, and still dressed up as a caravan and headed southward, returning to Daming Mansion.

Although the garrison in the capital was empty at that time, it was the home court of Emperor Xianfeng after all. If he wanted to engage in a business here, the Qing army of nearly 150,000 in the surrounding provinces would definitely raise troops to return to the rescue. This would not only fail to completely eradicate the Qing court, but would instead expose himself too early and become the target of public criticism, which would be unfavorable to the later development.

More importantly, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Nian Army were in a serious and fierce situation in the south. If the Qing court transferred all the troops to Zhili, they would of course benefit from it. From the perspective of fighting for dominance of the world, these people would sooner or later become their enemies, so it is absolutely impossible to do wedding dresses for others.

When Zhang Yuntian returned to the village again after nearly a month, Qian Jiang had been waiting in the village for many days. Seeing Zhang Yuntian returning in triumphantly, he hurriedly greeted the door from the lobby with a smile and gave him to the main seat.

Then, Qian Jiang knelt on his knees and bowed down and said, "Greetings to the true god!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yuntian quickly stood up and helped Qian Jiang up with both hands, and said with a smile: "We have not yet made any progress. We are all friends. This move by the military advisor will ruin me!"

Qian Jiang bowed to the ground and bowed two more times before he stood up again and said seriously: "The true god's words must be fulfilled, and the predictions are like gods. This is the one bow of the river; the true god defeated the British and French forces, and saved hundreds of thousands of people from the capital from the ravages of foreigners. This is the second bow of the river; it is natural that the true god came to earth and was kneeled down by mortals, and these are the three bows!"

Seeing Qian Jiang's sincere words, Zhang Yuntian was moved and pressed him back to his seat. Then he asked:

"Now the matter of foreigners has been resolved. They will not dare to invade again in the short term. Next, the Qing court will free up its hands to encircle and suppress the Taiping Army with all its might. We have to speed up our actions. I wonder how the military advisors are doing?"

Qian Jiang said proudly: "Trust the True God to make great blessings, everything goes smoothly. With the divine water given by the True God, no matter how difficult and complicated the problems are, as long as the divine water arrives, they will be eradicated immediately. Now, Shandong and Henan provinces have established fifteen branch offices, with more than 8,000 people, and a total of more than 30,000 taels of silver were raised! In addition, the True God's prophecy has been fulfilled. I believe that more and more people from all over the world will join the True God Cult!"

As he said that, he took out more than ten booklets written in small characters and handed them to Zhang Yuntian, "These are records of donating silver, as well as the roster of the backbone members of the sect!"

In three or four months, Qian Jiang and his dozens of people were able to accommodate 8,000 church members. Although there are also gene reset viruses and disease-eating probiotics here, the average speed of absorbing more than 2,000 people per month can definitely be considered as a super fast.

"These things are troubled by the military advisors!" Zhang Yuntian simply looked through a few pages and then put them aside, "At the speed of our current development, how long will it take to do it!"

Qian Jiang thought for a while and said, "It can be as fast as two years, and it can be as long as three to five years!"

Zhang Yuntian frowned, "It's too long, at most a year!"

"One year!?" Qian Jiang opened his eyes wide and looked at Zhang Yuntian incredibly. "If a year is used to preach, relying on the ability of divine water to cure diseases and save people, this religion may be covered by the whole country, but it may not be deeply rooted! Secondly, we can deepen the influence on the church while promoting righteousness. What's important is money and food! At present, we only use voluntary donations to the church, so we can donate more or less, and we cannot control it. If forced collection is adopted, it will inevitably reduce the enthusiasm for joining the church! What's more, war requires a lot of weapons and food, and these are definitely not something that can be collected day and night! So I hope the true god thinks twice!"

Although Qian Jiang's strategy is conservative, it is effective in steadily and steadily. Winning means big victory, and there is room for maneuver. However, he is not a saint and will not predict the changes in the future situation.

Now Zeng Guofan's Hunan Army has grown stronger and stronger, and Li Hongzhang's Huai Army will soon shine on the battlefield in the future, especially two years later, when he was transferred to the position of governor of Jiangsu, his Huai Army will increase from more than 6,000 to 6,700,000, becoming a well-equipped and strong local armed force in the Qing army.

Not only that, in three years, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom will be completely crushed, and the Nian Army will be isolated and in trouble.

So when I was "everything was ready", not only would the power to restrain the Qing court have been reduced, but the Qing army would become stronger and stronger through the Westernization Movement, and the other would grow and fall. The east wind of the matter had long been missed, and I could only sigh and wasted my time.

"According to my spirit writing (the meaning of divination), in the next ten years, only next year's autumn will be successful!" Zhang Yuntian said, pretending to pinch his fingers, "The Qing demons are growing day by day, and the Taiping army is declining day by day, so it will only take three or four years of luck!"

Qian Jiang had seen Zhang Yuntian’s ability to prophecy, so he believed it without doubt at this time. After thinking for a while, he asked, “I wonder how much divine water there is in the true god, and whether it is sufficient?”

"Of course enough, you can get as much as you want!"

Qian Jiang's eyes shone and clapped his hands and said, "That's easy to do. We might as well follow the foreigners and select fifty people with good looks, eloquence and character from the believers. As missionaries, they will come forward to train themselves. If they are not talented, they will be able to spread the gospel and establish their prestige! If they are not talented, they can find eight thousand believers by their own strength and rely on the power of the true god. Once these fifty missionaries come out, they will definitely achieve half the result with twice the effort!"

"As for money and food..." Qian Jiang looked puzzled, "We spread the gospel of the true God. In order to gather the church, we all let believers donate silver at will, so there is more or less no conclusion, so..."
Chapter completed!
