Chapter 234 What a pity! Southern King
Liu Che was speechless. Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, was really annoying. The official selection system during the Han Dynasty was not good. The serious drawbacks were not because paper and printing were not popular. Reading was for those who could afford it. It was not like the later dynasties...
It seems that every change in one thing will trigger another major change. As things stand, it will take a decade or more to make half of the Han people literate.
Thinking of this, Liu Che felt indifferent. He had no shortage of time. The screen had told the history of various dynasties. Any reform would fail if it took too big a step. Patience and time were needed, so he would wait until one day the Han Dynasty would become the same as described in the book.
……
After learning about Hong Xiuquan's missionary experience, Luo Xiaoquan, a missionary from the United States, invited Hong Xiuquan to preach together.
Hong Xiuquan had long wanted to exchange Christian knowledge with foreigners, hoping to learn more. So in 1847 he came to Luo Xiaoquan's church, where he read the Bible for the first time. In three months, Hong Xiuquan's religious thinking changed.
Influenced by the content of the Bible and Luo Xiaoquan's thoughts, Hong Xiuquan began to strongly oppose and criticize idol worship.
For various reasons, Hong Xiuquan could not be baptized and could not join the church, and his missionary path was cut off. It was for this reason that Hong Xiuquan left the foreign church and continued to spread his God-worshiping ideas in Guangxi with Feng Yunshan.
If anything wants to develop and grow, it must conform to the national conditions of the country.
Hong Xiuquan improved many rituals in Christianity to make them familiar to the Chinese, and he also gathered most of the core members during his stay in Guangxi. The power of the God Society expanded rapidly, and began to radiate from Zijing Mountain to the surrounding areas.
Hong Xiuquan also led his followers to destroy temples, including the "Ganwang Temple", "Sansheng Palace (Thunder Temple)", "Tudi Temple"...
Gan Wang is a legend in the Zhuang ethnic minority area of Xiangzhou, Guangxi, and is revered by the people as Lord Gan. Gan Wang was originally named Luo Ying and later changed his surname to Gan. He lived in the Eastern Jin Dynasty and made many military achievements to protect his hometown from invasion. After his death, a temple was built.
...
From this we can see that Hong Xiuquan's thoughts have changed from conservative to radical. This move is to break away from his past self and present self, showing the transformation from a traditional Confucian scholar to a believer in God.
＜Oh? History is indeed so dramatic. If Hong Xiuquan had been baptized by Luo Xiaoquan and then developed into a devout Christian missionary, would there have been no Taiping Rebellion?＞
＜Well… maybe without the Taiping Rebellion, which was centered on religion, there would definitely be other movements… The Qing Dynasty is like a broken house, it collapses with a bang when kicked [dog head]＞
＜A dying old man, right? [laughing and crying]＞
＜It must be said that Hong Xiuquan was really smart and was definitely a talent. He knew how to win over more people in the church, and he also knew how to write articles and spread the word. It can be seen that his public speaking ability was not bad either. He was like a weakened version of Adolf Hitler who failed the art exam [covering his face]＞
＜Ah?! Why did you destroy the Ganwang Temple? !!! I hate you, Hong Xiuquan!!!＞
[Emperor Zhengde of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Houzhao: The Qing Dynasty is like a dilapidated house, shaky and ready to fall. It may not collapse with one kick, but it will automatically collapse if you kick it a few more times]
[Emperor Jiajing of the Ming Dynasty Zhu Houcong: The trend of destroying temples everywhere is not good. I cannot agree with Hong Xiuquan’s approach]
[Liu Bang, Emperor Gaozu of Han: If the First Emperor had not died, I might still be the head of Sishui Pavilion, and be very happy every day~]
[Qin Shi Huangdi Ying Zheng: You have been promoted. I see that you are living happily in Xianyang City. Although your political ability is not as good as Xiao He and others, your other abilities are still impressive.]
[Emperor Gaozu of Han Liu Bang: Huh?!]
[Tang Taizong Li Shimin: Is this art student Hitler the one who triggered World War II?!]
[Tang Xuanzong Li Longji: He dragged down all the countries in the world with his own strength. This man is really terrifying]
……
Dong Zhongshu thought to himself, it was a good thing that Hong Xiuquan had not gone crazy and smashed the statues in the Confucius Temple.
Zhao Kuangyin took notes alone with a pen and paper. He should be careful when he meets someone who can win people's hearts, write books, and like to spread the word. Such people must have evil intentions!!!
Either you want to rebel or you want to die!
As an emperor, he really disliked people like Hong Xiuquan.
……
[When Hong Xiuquan went to find Luo Xiaoquan, Feng Yunshan went deep into Zijing Mountain alone. After two or three years, he finally developed more than 2 believers with Zijing Mountain as the center.
Among them were many who would later become key members of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Wei Zheng, Lu Liu, Shi Dakai and others.
In addition to promoting the worship of God, Feng Yunshan also deliberately deified the image of Hong Xiuquan as the leader of the religion. He exaggerated Hong Xiuquan's dream in Dingyou year, which made the people in Zijin Mountain area extremely respectful to Hong Xiuquan. Feng Yunshan's move made Hong Xiuquan the spiritual leader of the God Worshipping Religion.
"The plan to establish the country came from the Southern King, and all those who did things before were the Southern King."
There is another thing about Feng Yunshan that can prove his power. He once complained to the prefect of Xunzhou, wanting to prove that the God Worshipping Society was allowed and was not illegal. However, the magistrate of Guiping, Jia Zhu, still escorted Feng Yunshan back to his hometown. On the way, Feng Yunshan persuaded the two officers who were escorting him to convert to God and return to Zijing Mountain. 】
＜Feng Yunshan is really the first person of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He is the soul of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He laid the foundation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with his own efforts. It can be said that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was built up by Feng Yunshan.＞
＜Why do I feel that Feng Yunshan is much more powerful than Hong Xiuquan? Hong didn't do anything, it feels like it was always Feng Yunshan who was doing things [covering face]＞
＜Feng Yunshan's strategy is already quite powerful. If he is combined with Yang Xiuqing's military ability in the later period, the two of them may really be able to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. As for Hong Xiuquan, well... just treat him as a mascot! [Eat melon]＞
＜Hong Xiuquan was the spiritual leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. If we want to do practical things, we still have to rely on people like Feng Yunshan and Yang Xiuqing＞
＜Alas, heroes are made by the times. It’s a pity that the Southern King Feng Yunshan died too early [sigh]＞
[Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Minning: After talking for so long, it turns out that Hong Xiuquan is just a mascot???]
[Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty, Aisin-Gioro Hongli: The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom should not have been established yet, you haven't caught these people yet, right?!]
[Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty Aisin-Gioro Minning: Well, Grandpa Emperor, you don’t know that the current situation of the Qing Dynasty is very complicated, even more complicated than in history…]
[Emperor Cao Cao of Wei: According to what the light curtain said, Feng Yunshan and another person named Yang Xiuqing should be the two most outstanding people in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. I don’t know if they can’t get along, so they found Hong Xiuquan to continue to be a puppet.]
[Liu Bei, Emperor Zhaolie of Han: This is a possibility]
[Emperor Hongwu of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang: Oh no! It would be great if we could really overthrow the Qing Dynasty!]
[Yang Yong, the tenth year of Kaihuang in the Sui Dynasty: This name of the king is a bit random... there can't be East King, West King, and North King in the future, hahahahahaha]
[Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin: I feel that Hong Xiuquan did not want to rebel against the Qing Dynasty, but just wanted to spread the idea of believing in God through this channel. People like Feng Yunshan may be really ambitious and want to do something big]
[Ming Zhengde Emperor Zhu Houzhao: What a pity!]
