Chapter 236: Tiandihui: A Firm Anti-Qing Organization
"I am where I am today because I have Prime Minister Xiao and Marquis Liu... Marquis Huaiyin..."
Liu Bang lay down and drank a glass of wine, as if he was recalling the past.
"Hong Xiuquan was just out of luck after all."
"No, maybe he used the wrong method?"
Liu Bang thought about it for a while and then shook his head and decided not to think about it. The Han Dynasty was now stable internally, and the only hidden danger was the Xiongnu in the north.
Drink first, then worry.
Li Shimin had deeply complicated feelings about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If he were not the emperor, he would admire Hong Xiuquan's desire to save the world, but he was the emperor.
This might be what Guangmu meant by the different classes.
Zhu Yuanzhang thought to himself for a while. It felt really good to be left behind in Nanjing by Zhu Di’s unfilial son, yet to be worshipped by so many people.
He said that the Ming Dynasty he founded was not completely useless!
Emperor Kangxi Xuanye felt numb and tired.
There were many people on the screen expressing regret for Hong Xiuquan and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, most of whom were from the Ming Dynasty. He could understand this.
However, understanding is understanding, and annoyance is annoyance.
Hong Xiuquan was rebelling, not revolting. His goal was to become emperor. He was not so noble as to say that he wanted to be a savior...
It’s better for the light curtain to jump over him quickly. You can imagine how difficult the situation was during the Daoguang period.
……
[Let's review it again. The basic doctrine of the God Worshipping Society is to believe in "Heavenly Father" that is, God, and "Heavenly Brother" that is, Jesus.
It was probably from the end of 1847 to 1848 that Yang Xiuquan and Xiao Chaogui, acting on behalf of heaven, continued to deify Hong Xiuquan. In fact, before that, Hong Xiuquan was just a person saved by heaven.
After this, Hong Xiuquan became the second son of Heavenly Father and the younger brother of Heavenly Brother. He was sent to the earth by Heavenly Brother and Heavenly Father to manage affairs on behalf of Heaven and to be the true Lord of peace for all nations in the world.
And it was during this period that the "Dingyou Strange Dream" was created. It can be seen that they really like to create gods.
Hong Xiuquan's initial intention was to preach morality and save the world, but gradually his intention turned to anti-Qing.
Xiao Chaogui even used the "brother in heaven" to spread the rumor: "Although the books Confucius taught people in the past are in line with the truth, they are full of errors. When peace comes, all of them must be burned."
Therefore, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital, it introduced a policy of completely burning and banning ancient books.
The limitations of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's reliance on religion are truly obvious.
During this period, Hong Xiuquan did not propose any specific methods to change the situation, but he also put forward many visions for the future.
It is undeniable that Hong Xiuquan did not see the big picture, but their Jintian Uprising is still engraved on the Monument to the People's Heroes.
＜After being in hell for two hundred years, I suddenly met the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan＞
"From today on, we are no longer the people of Qing Yao. I will lead you to create a paradise on earth."
"Who is the Qing Emperor? How dare he call himself an emperor! He is arrogant and bullies the people. He should be overthrown. Let him sink into hell forever!" >
＜Whether the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was right or wrong, the answer has been given on the Monument to the People's Heroes＞
＜The reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom lost to the Qing Dynasty was not only because of internal problems, but also because the Qing Dynasty colluded with foreigners＞
＜The purest hero in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who never forgot his original aspirations was King Yi Shi Dakai＞
[Sima Guang in the third year of Song Xining: Burning and banning ancient books?! How is this different from the burning of books by the Qin Emperor?]
[Qin Shi Huangdi Ying Zheng: ???]
[Li Si, the 30th year of the Qin Shi Huangdi: Do you want to watch the video of the light curtain again?]
[Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: The Qing demons are so weak that they still need foreigners’ help to fight the rebels]
[Emperor Yongle of Ming Dynasty Zhu Di: The Manchu Tartars should be overthrown! It turns out that the last emperor Puyi's cooperation with the Japanese is a tradition of your Manchu emperors]
[Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Hongli: …]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: The slogan is good, but the policy of burning and banning ancient books is a real failure]
[Ma Zhou in the third year of the Zhenguan Period of the Tang Dynasty: They were really doomed to fail from the very beginning]
……
Dong Zhongshu wrote angrily, "No wonder the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not succeed. Humph! They even whipped the statue of Confucius. What a bunch of rude people!"
Li Shimin said: "Guangmu pays special attention to farmers. In fact, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made many mistakes, which can also be engraved on the monument for the world to worship..."
Yan Liben hurriedly drew the floating image of the Monument to the People's Heroes on paper. The people on the screen looked really lifelike, with a sense of vigorous development, and it was a pity that the ending was a failure.
...
“Is there really a paradise on earth?”
"Can I really have enough food by following King Hong?"
"But where is King Hong now?"
……
[Why did Hong Xiuquan and others choose to start the uprising in Guangxi?
From a geographical point of view, Guangxi is located in the southwest of my country, with poor land and poor people. It is really not a suitable place for an uprising.
From the perspective of the Qing Dynasty, Guangxi was a place where officials were corrupt, people were poor, civil unrest broke out, and bandits were rampant. It was a good place to develop anti-Qing ideas.
Considering the historical background at that time:
In 1788, Lin Shuangwen of the Tiandihui launched an uprising in Taiwan. The Qing government mobilized a large army to suppress it, which took ten years. At that time, most members of the Tiandihui fled to Guangxi to avoid the Qing army.
During the Jiaqing and Daoguang years, the Tiandihui in Guangxi continued to cause rebellions and gradually grew stronger.
The Tiandihui was an underground secret organization in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties with slogans such as "overthrow the Qing and restore the Ming", "enforce justice on behalf of heaven", and "rob the rich to help the poor".
Around 1847, many incidents of gathering to resist government officials occurred throughout Guangxi Province. In addition, Guangxi is a gathering place for many ethnic groups such as Han, Zhuang, Miao, and Yao, the people are tough and ethnic conflicts are extremely acute.
At that time, the Qing Dynasty had less than 4 standing troops in Guangxi Province, most of which were concentrated in large cities such as Guilin and Liuzhou. In addition, the Qing government in the last years of the dynasty had a fiscal deficit, which led to a lack of pay for soldiers, and officials were restless and perfunctory in their duties. It can be said that Guangxi Province was already in flames at this time.
Before Hong Xiuquan had any intention of opposing the Qing Dynasty, the situation in Guangxi Province had already gotten out of control.
Even if it wasn't Hong Xiuquan at that time, there would still be Liu Xiuquan and Zhang Xiuquan who stood up. 】
＜Is Tiandihui the current Hongmen?＞
＜The Hongmen armed forces in Guangxi launched 1845 attacks between 1850 and 77. Because they attracted the attention of Qing officials, it also gave the God Worshipping Society time to develop in a low-key manner, causing many Qing officials to ignore a small mountain village in Guangxi, which would have dealt a fatal blow to the Qing Dynasty [Eat Melon]＜＞＞
＜It seems that there is a saying that Hongmen was founded by the remnants of the Southern Ming Dynasty. Because the reign of Emperor Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang was called Hongwu, it was called Hongmen. However, modern Qing history research has found that the Tiandihui was first recorded in the Qianlong period, which was when Lin Shuangwen started the uprising in Taiwan＞
＜This lack of pay for soldiers looks so familiar. It turns out that the Qing Dynasty has unknowingly followed the old path of the Ming Dynasty [狗头]＞
[Emperor Chongzhen of Ming Dynasty Zhu Youjian: The anti-Qing and restoration of Ming lasted for the entire Qing Dynasty [eat melon]]
[Song Shenzong Zhao Xu: Aren’t Tiandihui and Hongmen just folk associations?]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: Gathering people will easily lead to trouble, and trouble will easily lead to rebellion]
[Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Hongli: The Tiandihui is really haunting! No matter how hard we try, we can’t get rid of it…]
[Zhang Juzheng in the seventh year of the Wanli reign of the Ming Dynasty: Guangxi is too easy to be corrupted]
[Emperor Wu of Han Liu Che: Didn’t you say before the light curtain that you would use the chieftain system? How effective is it?]
[Song Renzong Zhao Zhen: When officials force the people to rebel, the officials will also rebel. Take this as a warning]
