Chapter 129 So, rebel!
Zhang Jiao was indeed dead, and Zhang's manor was in chaos.

At that time, people in the Zhang family didn't know that Zhang Liang also died. They only knew that Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao died together, leaving a bunch of old and weak women and children in chaos.

The bodies of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao were placed in the lobby, and a group of people were crying and yelling around, not even knowing how to deal with the next thing.

The situation was already quite chaotic, but after a large number of believers poured in, the situation became even more chaotic.

Seeing Zhang Jiao's corpse, some believers burst into tears, some lay on the ground at a loss, some stared wide-eyed in disbelief, and even more manic went berserk, tearing their faces fiercely, shouting Words like "impossible impossible".

But their behavior like this could not save Zhang Jiao's death. The devastated believers were at a loss and were unwilling to leave. More and more people surrounded Zhang Jiao's body.

As the number of people increased, there was even a stampede in Zhang Jiao's mansion, and many believers were trampled to death.

In the chaos, no one has enough prestige to stand up to appease people, and such a person does not exist.

Both Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao died, and most of Zhang Jiao's outstanding disciples went out to various places to become Qu Shuai, preparing for the uprising two months later, and they did not stay by Zhang Jiao's side.

None of Zhang Jiao's disciples had a very high prestige who could stand up to appease people's hearts.

So in the chaos after the death of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, the most sober people can do is to send people to Xia Quyang to find Zhang Liang and come back to preside over the overall situation, and the chaos in Julu is almost uncontrollable .

The minimum rationality everyone could maintain was to wait for Zhang Liang to come back to preside over the overall situation and investigate the truth of the matter.

But this minimum rationality disappeared without a trace after the news that Zhang Liang had also been killed came from Xia Quyang.

In the great confusion and panic, the believers of the Taipingdao gave birth to outrage.

Who the hell, who killed Zhang Jiao and his brothers?

The situation that could still be controlled to a minimum degree collapsed all of a sudden.

Some people said to go to the county government to seek justice and ask the county magistrate to solve the matter and find out the real culprit;

But more people don't see it that way.

They thought that Zhang Jiao was killed by someone, so they had to go directly to the person who killed Zhang Jiao to seek justice.

Who killed Zhang Jiao?

Some people thought it was Zhang Jiao's enemies, that is, those who did not believe in the way of peace.

Some people think that the county magistrate or sheriff did it, because they may feel that Zhang Jiao's limelight is too much, which affects their power.

At this time, the situation is very wrong. The believers who have lost the great virtuous teacher are at the crossroads of confusion and anger. At this time, a wise person is needed to tell them that this matter should be dealt with calmly and find the truth.

But such a person does not exist.

Out of various considerations and personal considerations, people with status in the local Taipingdao organization began to act. They acted according to their own ideas and interests, and did things that were in their interests.

Because they all knew that Zhang Jiao was planning to rebel.

And at this stall, Zhang Jiao was killed, and both Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao died. People who don’t know the inside story will think it’s a vendetta, but those who know the inside story will only feel a chill—could it be that the rebels Things have been leaked?

Does anyone already know about this and take action?
who is it?

Did the Luoyang court do it?

Zhang Jiao's death was regarded by them as a symbol that the imperial court was about to attack them, and Zhang Jiao's death showed that they were not opponents of the imperial court at all.

So, if you don't run now, when will you wait?
Some terrified defeatists left Julu with Xiruan and Jiaxiao overnight without thinking, and ran to Youzhou in the north or the Central Plains in the south, preparing to go further to Liaodong or Jiangnan to escape this chaotic time. Bureau.

The farther the place is, the safer it is, the farther you run, the greater the possibility of surviving, this is what they believe.

The group of people who benefited from Zhang Jiao's death accounted for about [-] to [-]% of the local Taipingdao cadres. It can be seen that Zhang Jiao's death had a great deterrent effect on them.

And with the passage of time, in the whole land of Hebei, the main cadre-level congregants in various parts of Taiping Dao who learned about this incident felt very heartbroken, thinking that their conspiracy had been learned by the imperial court, and that Zhang Jiao's death That's the proof.

Most of the leaders of Taipingdao were not brave and fearless people. When they heard the news of Zhang Jiao’s death, they generally believed that Taipingdao was hopeless. They took their family Xiao Kairun overnight and prepared to go to a safe place to avoid the court’s pursuit.

Without the guidance of these leaders, ordinary believers are confused and at a loss, not knowing what to do next, and the Taipingdao organizations in many places directly collapsed and ceased to exist.

But beyond that, others see it as a great opportunity.

This group of people are radicals in the Taiping Dao, they are hawks and militants. Their dissatisfaction with the Han Empire has been deeply rooted in their bones. They agree with Zhang Jiao's theory of "the sky is dead and the sky is standing" and believe that the rebellion has a good chance of winning. Da, willing to follow Zhang Jiao to rebel.

Although Zhang Jiao is dead now, they are still alive.

So, shouldn't they fight back for their beloved and virtuous teacher?

The lackeys of the imperial court killed the great virtuous teacher, then we should fight back and let the lackeys of the imperial court know how powerful we are!
Coincidentally, at this moment, the cowardly ones have already fled, leaving room for the remaining courageous believers to play. Therefore, from the eleventh day of the first lunar month in the seventh year of Guanghe, the cadres of Taipingdao have been in chaos. In the midst of this, I started to do publicity work.

They claimed that they already knew who the person who killed the great virtuous teacher was the imperial court, the emperor of Luoyang.

And they officially announced the plan of the national uprising planned by Zhang Jiao before his death, and further publicized the slogan of "the sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand".

They thought that the imperial court already knew about their plan to revolt, so they acted preemptively and used despicable means to kill the great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao.

Although the great virtuous teachers have given everything and sacrificed for their common Taiping cause, their ideal of establishing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom must not be abandoned.

The great virtuous teacher has sacrificed for their well-being, and his last will must not be abandoned. Doing that would mean betraying the great virtuous teacher. It is a shameful act, and he will be punished by heaven. Doctrinal.

They further declared that it is necessary for Taiping Taoists to avenge the great virtuous teacher and continue to fight for the ideals of Taiping Tao for so many years.

So rebel!
The Taipingdao organizers who stayed and chose to fight may not have military talent, but they are all very good in terms of propaganda ability. They are very good propaganda talents. In this regard, the guys from the local government are far behind .

The propaganda of this part of the hawkish cadres just fit the needs of the Taiping Taoists who were sad and confused after Zhang Jiao's death.

The devout congregation lost their great virtuous teachers, lost their spiritual sustenance, and lost their hope for a better future. They felt that they were about to die, and the claims of the remaining cadres gave them a new goal.

Only then did they realize that the great virtuous teacher was planning to lead them to rebel, to lead them to overthrow the corrupt and dead heaven, and to establish another world of yellow heaven.
