The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 195: Rebellion is not a dinner party!

"The king told me about this the day before yesterday."

Luo Yaoguo frowned slightly and did not comment.

Let's burn these three unlucky guys, Sai Shang'a, Xiang Rong and Liu Changqing!

There is no need to turn against Hong Xiuquan for them!

Luo Yaoguo had people redeem those Eight Banner soldiers before, but in fact he wanted to send those dozens of Qing civil and military officials who had been held responsible for his crimes back to lie undercover. Their value was far higher than the silver and those hundreds of Eight Banner good-for-nothings.

Now that all those who should be sent have been sent, communication channels have been established, and the dark hall network has been built, the life and death of Sai Shang'a, Xiang Rong, and Liu Changqing are not so important.

"There's more!" Xiao Chaogui added, "The Heavenly King has captured several hundred Eight Banners soldiers and wants to burn them to death as well!"

"Well, hundreds of people were burned to death at a time." Luo Yaoguo looked back at Xiao Chaogui with a puzzled look on his face, "Brother-in-law, you don't care about the lives of those people, do you?"

Luo Yaoguo doesn't care about the lives of hundreds of Eight Banners descendants!

As a professional who is well versed in the theory and history of rebellion, he certainly knows that "rebellion is not a dinner party, rebellion involves bloodshed and sacrifice, and it is an uprising of one class against another"!
Regardless of the success or failure of the Taiping Rebellion in which he is now participating, it will inevitably cause the deaths of at least tens of millions and at most one or two hundred million people!

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's road to victory or defeat will, and can only, be paved with the corpses of countless people!
Therefore, rebellion is the last and most drastic measure that should not be taken unless it is absolutely necessary. And the Taiping Rebellion, in the original history, was just the beginning of a last resort.

The root of this last resort is the contradiction between people and the earth that is so sharp that there is no solution. This is a real lack of food in the biological sense! Moreover, at least one or two million people starve to death and at least one or two million people drown every year. This will last for at least a hundred years!

Fortunately, Luo Yaoguo was born a bit cold-blooded, and after traveling through time, he seemed even colder, indifferent to death and human life. This was very suitable for this desperate end of the world, which was like hell on earth.

In fact, the measures he took were more radical than those of Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, and Xiao Chaogui combined!
Otherwise, how could the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom capture such a large base area in Yongzhou, Guiyangzhou, Chenzhou, Hengzhou and the area east of Xiangjiang River in Changsha Prefecture?

Which of these bases has not been soaked in blood?

How can the distribution of land be possible if it is not soaked in blood?
Xiao Chaogui certainly didn't care about human life, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to fight his way out of this apocalypse.

He chuckled and whispered, "Those people burned it, but the Heavenly King and the Eastern King wanted to use this burning to regain their prestige and win over the people's hearts!"

"Huh?" Luo Yaoguo was stunned. "There are only a few hundred people. Do they want people from Changsha?"

"Yes!" Xiao Chaogui nodded seriously, "Changsha still has a population of more than 100,000 people, all of whom deeply hate the Qing Dynasty. Among them, there are at least 100,000 people who have no close relationship with the Hongmen. If all of them are coerced, the power of the Heavenly King and the Eastern King will increase greatly!"

Luo Yaoguo nodded and understood.

If we were to carefully calculate the "biological strength" of several factions within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the actual ranking should be like this: first is Luo Yaoguo, second is Feng Yunshan, third is Xiao Chaogui, and fourth is Yang Xiuqing.

Yang Xiuqing has been demoted from the "first living father" to the "fourth living father".

The reason is very simple, he was "attacked by Luo Yaoguo"!

Luo Yaoguo controlled the "Central" (lecturers' group), the Dark Hall, and the Hunan-Jiangxi Border Hall of the God Worshipping Society, and also had a huge influence in the Hunan branch.

Even if the land and population controlled by the three branches of Yongzhou, Guiyangzhou, and Hengzhou directly under the Hunan branch are not counted, the Hunan-Jiangxi Border General Hall currently controls half of Changsha Prefecture, part of Hengzhou Prefecture, and some villages in Yuezhou Prefecture, which can also provide Luo Yaoguo with a large number of cadres and soldiers.

Yang Xiuqing only had the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's central army under his command, which, including their families, numbered no more than a few tens of thousands of people. This was completely not on the same order of magnitude as the population that Luo Yaoguo could control.

This gap will only get bigger when Luo Yaoguo becomes the King of Wu in the future!
Because by then, the God Worshipping Society's system would only become more mature and more powerful, and would be able to help him quickly control more land and population.

If prefectures like Suzhou, Songjiang, Changzhou, Huzhou, Jiaxing and Taicang were completely controlled by Baishangdi, then the population, land and wealth controlled by Luo Yaoguo would be unimaginable.

Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing may not have fully realized this yet, but they should have smelled something.

Otherwise, they would not have thought of setting up the Four General Offices in Hunan.

But what use are these government offices to the well-organized God Worshipping Society that has firmly controlled the countryside? "Let them burn it!"

Luo Yaoguo made up his mind after a while and said to Xiao Chaogui in a low voice: "If they want to establish their authority, let them do it! We have more important things to do!"

"What's the matter?" Xiao Chaogui asked.

"First, the Hubei branch of the God Worshipping Society must be set up as soon as possible," Luo Yaoguo held up two fingers, "Second, how should the land distribution in Wuchang Prefecture and Hanyang Prefecture be carried out? Who will be in charge and where should the pilot be started? There must be a plan for everything!"

"We are very short on time now, and we don't have many people available. It's not easy to deal with this!"

Luo Yaoguo knew that Xiao Chaogui was not good at politics, was rather rough in his approach, had little education, and could not understand too many revolutionary principles. In short, he was far worse than Feng Yunshan!
With the help of Luo Yaoguo, Feng Yunshan can rely on his own strength and knowledge to support the Hunan branch and have no problem controlling three or four provincial capitals.

However, with Xiao Chaogui's talents and the talents of his subordinates, it seemed that they had difficulty in taking over Wuchang Prefecture.

"Hey, isn't it just killing the rich to help the poor?" Xiao Chaogui waved his hand, "I've done this a lot in Zijing Mountain. If it doesn't work, there's still my third brother and you!"

"Then who will be the president of the Hubei branch of the God Worshipping Society?" Luo Yaoguo asked again.

"Let Xuan Jiao come!" Xiao Chaogui said with a smile, "She will soon resign as the head of the women's camp, so she can take care of the affairs of the God Worshipping Society."

"Hmm," Luo Yaoguo thought, "Although this Hong Xuanjiao doesn't have much ability, she listens to me, so she's okay, right?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded: "Then let's finalize this matter at the meeting today! As long as the king gives us a pass on the personnel issues of the Hubei and Jiangsu branches, we will support him in burning people and coercing the people of Changsha!"

"Want support?" Xiao Chaogui stroked his beard, "How do you want support?"

Luo Yaoguo smiled and said, "Brother-in-law, leave this matter to me, just wait and see!"

Tianwang Palace, main hall.

Hong Xiuquan was dressed in a dragon robe, wearing a court crown, and sitting high up on the throne.

Yang Xiuqing, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, and Luo Yaoguo, all wearing dragon robes and a lower-grade imperial crown than Hong Xiuquan's, sat on either side. Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai, and Hong Xuanjiao, all wearing gorgeous dragon robes or phoenix robes, stood on the left and right sides of the hall.

The two prime ministers, Qin Rigang and Hu Yihuang, have also recently received the grace of Hong Xiuquan and can stand in a position farther away from Hong Xiuquan in the hall.

Outside the main hall, there were dozens of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom male and female officials standing in shifts. Among them, Su Sanniang was the chief female official in front of the hall, standing closest to the main hall.

However, no matter how close he is to the main hall, he is still an official in front of the hall, and cannot be compared with the officials in the hall. He has no right to speak during the court meetings of the Kingdom of Heaven, and can only kneel in the hall to answer questions when asked in the hall.

"Heavenly King, the people of Changsha are now willing to help. Everyone, young and old, men and women hate the Qing demons. It is time for the Heavenly King to publicly try and kill the demons in order to win the hearts of the people. I propose that the Heavenly King be the presiding judge and sentence Sai Yaotou, Xiang Yaotou, Liu Yaotou, and more than 20 other deputy generals, lieutenant generals, guerrillas, garrisons, and 512 Qing demons in Jingzhou to death in public according to the Heavenly Law!"

The one who was calling for war and killing was Yang Xiuqing, the "Hakka proxy god" who had been getting closer and closer to Hong Xiuquan recently.

Just now, Luo Yaoguo and Xiao Chaogui jointly proposed the establishment of the Hubei Branch of the God Worshipping Society and the Jiangsu Branch of the God Worshipping Society, and the suggestion that Hong Xuanjiao and Luo Yaoguo be the presidents of these two branches respectively - naturally, the suggestion was unanimously approved!
There is no need for Luo and Xiao to invite "Brother Zhentian" to come down to earth.

Since Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing are giving them face, Luo Yaoguo and Xiao Chaogui certainly cannot stop them from killing people to establish their authority.

That's politics!

Hong Xiuquan also respected these two and Feng Yunshan and other "living fathers" and did not make a decision immediately. He asked humbly: "Brother-in-law, mountain compatriots, and country compatriots, what do you three think of the proposal of the Qing compatriots?"

Xiao, Luo and Feng certainly had no objection and all expressed their agreement.

The four living fathers agreed that Hong Xiuquan seemed quite "filial". He stroked his beard with a smile and said modestly: "Okay! Qing compatriots, Guo compatriots, this matter will be left to you to arrange. Within ten days, I will give justice to the people of Changsha!"
