The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 21 Who to rely on? (Testing the waters, crazy requests for follow-up reading, monthly tickets, and collections!)

In Feng Yunshan's view, the biggest hidden danger of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was actually the incompetence of its leader Hong Xiuquan.

Since ancient times, there has never been such a bad founding emperor as him!
Hong Xiuquan's ability is not comparable to Zhu Yuanzhang, and it is far inferior to Li Zicheng. Li Zicheng at least led his army to attack Beijing and killed Chongzhen. Why don't you let Hong Tianwang lead one and try?
Fortunately, he had the help of two capable people, Feng Yunshan and Yang Xiuqing. One helped him to set up the rebel organization God Worshipping Society, and the other integrated a group of miners from Zijingshan and farmers from the countryside of Guangxi into an elite force with strict discipline and capable of winning battles.

But in this case, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would inevitably have a situation where there were two or even three or four rulers in one country!
When the situation was critical, the second, third, and fourth lords could still stick together to survive, but once the situation became favorable, such as after breaking through the Jiangnan camp that threatened the safety of Tianjing, the brotherhood between Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing would come to an end.

After losing Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui, eliminating Yang Xiuqing and Wei Changhui, and forcing Shi Dakai to leave, what future did the severely damaged Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have under the leadership of the incompetent leader Hong Xiuquan?
Moreover, Hong Xiuquan's killing of Yang Xiuqing was like the Heavenly King killing the "Heavenly Father", so wouldn't the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's faith collapse?

Although Feng Yunshan was unable to see the history after the Tianjing Incident, he was still able to calculate the final outcome of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

However, this situation of multiple rulers in one country seems not to be changed by the addition of Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, and Luo Yaoguo. Originally, there was only one Yang Dongwang who was in charge of Hong Tianwang. If there were another Xiwang, a Nanwang, and an angel, wouldn't the fight be even more fierce?
Thinking of this, Feng Yunshan's expression became more and more ugly.

"Third brother," Luo Yaoguo had already put away his "magic phone" and started discussing with Feng Yunshan how to save the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, "Do you think the biggest mistake of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is that there are multiple rulers in one country and the Heavenly King is not powerful enough?"

Feng Yunshan was stunned for a moment, and asked back: "Isn't it?"

"No!" Luo Yaoguo shook his head, "Third brother, in fact, the biggest mistake of our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the rise of the Taiping Army. God will not be defeated!"

"What do you mean God will disappear if the Taiping Rebellion rises?" Feng Yunshan didn't understand.

Luo Yaoguo emphasized his tone: "After my Taiping Army rose up in Jintian, the God Worshipping Society was gone. Gone!"

"Eighth brother," Feng Yunshan disagreed with Luo Yaoguo's statement, "The God Worshipping Society has become the Taiping Army. How can it be considered gone?"

Luo Yaoguo shook his head: "But are the God Worshipping Society and the Taiping Army the same thing?"

Feng Yunshan asked in confusion: "Isn't it?"

"of course not!"

Luo Yaoguo said: "What should the God Worshipping Society do?

It is to spread the way of worshipping God; to develop followers of God; to lead the army of worshipping God and the anti-Qing patriots of the world, to work together to create a paradise on earth where everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, fields to cultivate, and books to read! "

Feng Yunshan was stunned when he heard this.

The God Worshipping Society can do so many things, so what is the use of King Hong?

"Old Eight," Feng Yunshan asked word by word, "Is this what Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother meant?"

Luo Yaoguo nodded and said, "In order for the God Worshipping Society to achieve those goals, we must turn the God Worshipping Society into a party that can firmly control the male and female saints of the Kingdom of Heaven, the common people, the business community, the cities and the countryside!"

"Even the countryside is under control?" Feng Yunshan asked, "Isn't that too much?" Luo Yaoguo asked, "Third brother, you must know that there is a saying since ancient times that the imperial power does not go to the countryside, right? Today, the imperial power of the Qing Dynasty does not go to the countryside either. The government is in charge of the county towns in various places, and the gentry are in charge outside the county towns. Most of the gentry in the world are traitors who read the books of Confucius and Mencius, study the actions of the Tartars, and are willing to speak for the Tartars!
My kingdom of heaven is to establish a paradise on earth where everyone has land to cultivate and everything is equal! Just the law of equalizing land will make these traitors regard me as their mortal enemy, not to mention that the way of worshipping God is very different from the way of Confucius and Mencius!

If my Taiping Heavenly Kingdom cannot compete with these gentry for the countryside through the God Worshipping Society, even if we can occupy some cities in the future, it will be because 'God does not go to the countryside', and the areas outside the cities are all the territories of the traitors and gentry. Will this work?
Third brother, think about it, when our Taiping Army was in Yong'an, was it true that 'God does not go to the countryside'? Most of the countryside outside Yong'an was controlled by the Qing Dynasty's lackeys and gentry? Was the Kingdom of Heaven only within the city walls, like being trapped in a cage?"

"Yes." Feng Yunshan nodded and said through gritted teeth, "This is all because Zhou Yaotou, Xiang Yaotou, Wu Yaotou, and Qin Yaotou are so abominable! Wherever we go, they chase us!"

"Not entirely!" Luo Yaoguo said, "This is because you, Third Brother, have not managed the God Worshipping Society well! If the branches of the God Worshipping Society are spread all over the four townships of Yong'an, and even in the armies of Zhou Tianjue, Xiang Rong, Wulantai, and Qin Dingsan, there are secret halls of my God Worshipping Society, will they still be able to gain a foothold outside the city of Yong'an?"

"But in this case, wouldn't the God Worshipping Society be the same as the Tiandihui?" Feng Yunshan frowned.

Luo Yaoguo smiled bitterly, he knew that the God Worshipping Society looked down on the Tiandihui, thinking that the Tiandihui was a mixed bag, with a loose organization and unlikely to achieve anything great. To some extent, this was true!

But that Mr. Sun is also a brother of the Hongmen!

"What? Was I wrong?" Feng Yunshan noticed the change in Luo Yaoguo's expression, so he asked.

"Not entirely true!" Luo Yaoguo shook his head. "If the branches of the God Worshipping Society are spread all over the world, they must be inclusive. It is inevitable that there will be some good and bad people. And they will also have to absorb many frustrated scholars. But as long as we persist, we will not repeat the mistakes of the Tiandihui!"

"Which point?" Feng Yunshan asked.

"Equalize the land!" Luo Yaoguo emphasized, "It must be truly implemented, not just talk!
Only when the land is distributed equally can those traitorous gentry who are loyal to the Qing Dynasty be truly destroyed!

Only when the land is distributed equally, those poor peasants who followed us to destroy the traitors and gentry and were given the land, will truly believe that our God Worshipping Society wants to build a paradise on earth where everyone is well fed and warm, where everyone is equal, where everyone has food to eat, clothes to wear, and books to read!
All the followers of the God Worshipping Society who are willing to follow us in implementing the equal-field distribution policy, regardless of their background, whether they have joined the Heaven and Earth Society, or whether they have read the books of Confucius and Mencius, are reliable followers of the God Worshipping Society!
As long as the traitorous gentry who support the Qing Dynasty demons are destroyed, as long as the poor people are willing to follow the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and as long as the members of the God Worshipping Society can implement the law of equal distribution of land, the Heavenly Kingdom will be unbreakable, and the Qing Dynasty demons will be vulnerable in front of us! "

"Okay!" Feng Yunshan suddenly shouted, then took Luo Yaoguo's hand and said, "Eighth brother, to be honest, my idea about equal distribution of land is the same as yours! These days, I have been preparing a "Land System of the Heavenly Kingdom", and I plan to promulgate it after the Kingdom of Heaven arrives in Little Heaven!"

It turns out that the "Tianchao Tianmu System" was formulated by Feng Yunshan during his lifetime! Luo Yaoguo looked at His Royal Highness the Southern King in front of him, and his eyes also revealed admiration.

The Taiping Rebellion, with its "Land System of the Heavenly Kingdom" and "New Treatise on Aids to Administration", can be said to have reached the pinnacle of peasant uprisings in Chinese history.

And it’s a cliff-like lead!

Friends who know history know that the solution formed by combining "The Land System of the Heavenly Kingdom" and "New Treatise on Aids to Administration" is quite close to the "standard answer"!

The ones who came up with this set of standard answers were Feng Yunshan and Hong Rengan!

Although Feng Yunshan produced the first half of the "standard answer", history did not give him the opportunity to promote and gradually revise and improve the "Tianchao Tianmu System" and "erased" him. Without the foundation of the "Tianchao Tianmu System", Hong Rengan's "Zizheng Xinpian" could only become a sigh in the end.
And what Luo Yaoguo is giving now is the method to implement this standard answer: Don’t rely on the king, rely on the secret society!

From now on, the King of Heaven can finally sleep soundly, and the world will be managed by the God Worshipping Society!
