Time flies, and a month passed in a flash. For the convenience of travel, Zhang Yuntian set up the main hall of the True God Cult in a large mansion outside the suburbs of Daming Mansion: a courtyard was expanded to the south of the mansion, specifically for the Yang brothers and sisters and accompanying craftsmen to rest and work; in order to give Qianjiang a quiet teaching environment, a small mansion was built in the woods. The whole mansion was built larger and larger, and more and more merchants were coming and going, and this place had developed into the scale of a small village.

During this period, Zhang Yuntian was not idle, and he took the corpse guards to fight in the east and the west, and gained a lot.

The battle routine is very simple and brainless. First, a group of corpse guards pretending to be a caravan to attract bandits, and another group of corpse guards ambushed aside, waiting for an opportunity to shoot with an anesthesia gun, capturing them in one fell swoop. Then, the newly transformed corpse guards tricked them to open the village gate and continued to use the same trick again. Therefore, every battle is almost bloodless. It takes an hour to get faster, and it takes a day to conquer a bandit.

In order to speed up efficiency, Zhang Yuntian selected several new generals from the believers to divide the troops into four groups. In just one month, he cleaned up the bandits and bandits in Henan, and since then he greatly won the support of local people and government officials. Wherever the True God Cult went, the people welcomed each other and local officials personally welcomed the people.

Now the corpse guard army has surged from the initial 100 to more than 8,000 people today. In order to prevent the government from catching up, Zhang Yuntian broke them into pieces and distributed them to various divisions.

The True God Cult is already well-known in Henan, and everyone praises it. From poor peasants to gentry and nobles, most of them are believers of the True God Cult. Invisibly, Zhang Yuntian has surpassed the influence of the Qing court on the local people. Some people even got Zhang Yuntian's portrait from somewhere, pasted it on the wall, worshipped and worshiped every day, and had a pious attitude.

With the help of drawings and real objects, after a month of experiments day and night, the Yang brothers and sisters finally made a firearm that can be fired continuously, named it the Demon-removing Musket, which means that any enemy who opposes the True God Sect is a monster, which has a bit of a flat heavenly kingdom, and must have been influenced by Qian Jiang.

Due to the limitations of casting technology, the bullet is made as thick as a thumb, and the tip of the bullet is also modified into a small arrow with barbs. After being shot into the human body, it will cause a large area of ​​tearing wounds, which is extremely difficult to stitch. Basically, as long as the shot hits the body, the enemy will immediately lose the ability to fight.

In order to cooperate with the thick bullets, the chamber of the demon musket was also a bit thicker. On both sides of the gun body, a symbol of the True God Cult was painted: the two dragons connect heads and tails to form a circle, and the word "Divine" is written in the middle, making the entire musket look more majestic and majestic.

The demon-removing musket is equipped with a conventional front grip, buttstock, and sight, which greatly improves the accuracy and stability of shooting compared to ordinary firearms. It can also fire twelve bullets continuously, with an effective range of 80 zhang and a killing distance of more than 300 zhang.

On this basis, Yang Yuanpeng improved the bombing of bamboo and made a cannon with a thickness of one foot. This cannon is still a short-range cannon that can only be fired more than ten feet away, but it has a huge power and a wide range of killing. It is a secret weapon to protect the musket team from raids of cavalry.

The gun problem has been solved, and the next is the communication problem.

As the coverage of the True God Cult becomes wider, information exchange has become a major factor hindering efficiency. For example, a plague occurred in a village where a branch church is located. When something happens, people will immediately send to the main hall to seek the divine water. It may take more than ten days on the way. Even if the believers are strong in physical strength, they don’t have to rest to arrive at the main hall, and they set off immediately to return. By the time they return to the village again, more than a month has passed. If it is a vicious plague, most of the villagers will be dead at this time.

Moreover, it is not ruled out that the messenger will have an accident in the middle of the journey, so it is time-consuming and labor-intensive to convey information by relying solely on manpower, and it is easy to leak information.

It is fashionable and so. If a war begins, the problem will be even more difficult. The battle information will take several days to reach Zhang Yuntian's ears. When he makes a decision and increases his troops, he is afraid that the front line will have fallen long ago and the battlefield situation will change rapidly. Such communication efficiency is not conducive to the commander's strategy and overall planning.

So Zhang Yuntian returned to the main world again and purchased a batch of radio intercom equipment, which was allocated to various tribunals and missionaries for unified dispatch.

The radio can travel hundreds to thousands of kilometers in plains. If you want to contact a longer distance, you can set a radio station as a transit station within the transmission range. This is like playing checkers, one by one, and one by one will be transmitted farther and farther. Although there will be a slight delay in communication, the delay in these few seconds is not worth mentioning compared to the distance of more than ten days or even months.

Qian Jiang's training was very efficient. In just two months, fifty missionaries had completed the training.

Zhang Yuntian distributed two large wooden barrels of divine water for curing diseases to each missionary, two sets of communication radio stations, one artificial rain cannon for praying for rain, and also sent thirty brave corpse guards equipped with demon-removing muskets and big swords to accompany each other. In this way, even a small group of Qing troops may not be the opponent, let alone those bandits who had been scared by the True God Cult.

After more than half a year, the True God Cult has been deeply rooted in more than a dozen provinces including Henan, Shandong, Shanxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Lianghu and Guangdong, with the purpose of punishing evil and promoting good, and saving the people, and the miracle of divine water and artificial rainfall. The number of believers has surpassed traditional Buddhism and Taoism, and has become the largest sect in China. The church has countless money and food, and there are more than 30,000 corpse guards hidden in various places.

With the rapid expansion of the power of the True God Cult, Zhang Yuntian's ambition to unify the world became stronger.

It was already the autumn of 1861 AD. Emperor Xianfeng had only been the emperor for eleven years and died of illness in the summer resort at the age of 31.

His six-year-old only son Zaichun succeeded to the throne, with the year name Qixiang. Two months later, Cixi joined forces with Prince Gong and launched the Xinyou coup. The two secretly communicated and eliminated the eight ministers appointed by Xianfeng, including Zaiyuan and Sushun.

The year name was changed from Qixiang to Tongzhi, which implicitly contained the significance of Tongzhi of the two palaces. From then on, the 27-year-old Cixi walked onto the political stage of governing the country from behind the curtain.

In a short while, the Qing court will concentrate its troops to clear the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. A huge turmoil will begin on the land of China. At the same time, the leader of the True God Sect is Zhang Yuntian. His righteousness will completely change the history of China!
Chapter completed!
