The Qing Dynasty is about to end

Chapter 97 Zhu on the vent will fly! (Eighth update)

Who is willing to work with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?
This is indeed a fatal problem!
What did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom do?

It's a rebellion! A rebellion against the Qing Dynasty!

If you share the same aspirations as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, of course you have to join in the rebellion.

As for how great the risks of rebellion are, even the most ignorant villagers know that rebellion is not like building a house. If one fails to build it well, he will die and his entire family will be destroyed!

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's current territory is just a Daozhou plus a few neighboring counties, and its "rebellion" is still unclear! At this time, who would be willing to risk their life if they are not desperate?

After all, Zhuyang Village is neither Etang Town nor Daozhou City.

There were no beggars attracted by the porridge factory run by Mr. Huang, nor were there unemployed miners from the surrounding mines. There were only some farmers who were still struggling to survive. It was not difficult to mobilize them to rebel, but it was not easy either.

But Zhu Ba was full of confidence! Because his master Luo Yaoguo had passed down the first volume of the "Anti Sutra", the "Common People's Rebellion", which had already explained in detail how to mobilize the poor people.

Zhu Ba himself came from a poor family and had a natural rebellious nature. Although he could not read or write, he memorized the contents of Volume 1 of the Anti-Scripture after listening to his master's words only once, and he also understood the key points of the text.

The graduation test of the first Daozhou lecturer training class was to "explain the Anti-Scripture" in front of Luo Yaoguo. Zhu Ba did very well. Luo Yaoguo also asked a lot of "out-of-scope" questions, and he answered them all fluently. In the end, he was rated as "excellent". He was sent to his hometown Zhuyang Village to conduct "rebellion practice"!

Based on the knowledge of rebellion that Zhu Ba possessed and the "rebellious sentiment" in Zhuyang Village, he was not worried at all that no one would stand up!

"My dear, I, Zhu Shisan, wish to stand united with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

Sure enough, not long after Zhu Ba finished speaking, a skinny young man who was less than 20 years old limped out.

When Master Yang San saw this young man, his face turned pale and he said angrily, "Another second-rate guy named Zhu."

This young man was a second-rate person in the village. He was very lazy and refused to be a tenant farmer. He rented land from Mr. Zhu San but didn't cultivate it properly. When he couldn't pay the rent, he instigated other people with the surname Zhu in the village to resist the rent. As a result, he was caught by Mr. Yang San and his men and was severely beaten. He didn't even say a word even when his leg was broken.

Master Yang San was afraid that beating and killing someone would end badly, so he stopped and left him to fend for himself in the village. This guy was also very tenacious, and he survived until now by stealing and pawning the little things in his house.

"Eighth brother, I, Zhu Laosi, wish to stand united with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!"

After Zhu Shisan stood up, another middle-aged man named Zhu stood up.

This man was the leader of the Zhu family in Zhuyang Village. In his early years, he and Zhu Ba's father went to fight with the neighboring village. It was he who carried Zhu Ba's father's body back. Master Yang San was always afraid of him and wanted to get rid of him as soon as possible. But he was afraid of exacerbating the relationship with the Zhu family in the village, so he had to give up.

Speaking of the Zhu family in Zhuyang Village, it is really hard to describe. Who knows what kind of bad people this family is? They are all people who break the law, and they are not good at farming, managing the household, or studying. Under the prosperous Qing Dynasty, of course, they did not reap any good results, and their lives became more and more miserable.

Today, not only all the land in Zhuyang Village is owned by the surname Yang, but the surname Yang also overwhelmingly accounts for the population.

But people with the surname Zhu dare to rebel!

"I, Zhu Shi, have rebelled too!"

"Damn it, life is unbearable, why not rebel!"

"Rebellion, rebellion, the worst that can happen is death!"

In a blink of an eye, seven or eight people with the surname Zhu stood up. Except for Zhu Si, all of them were bachelors with nothing at home. Two of them had been out and about, and had sailed on the Xiaoshui River before. They returned home because shipping was interrupted. Unexpectedly, they encountered the "windfall" of rebellion.

"Zhu", who is standing at the forefront of the rebellion, can fly! "Hahaha"

Zhu Ba laughed a few times: "Our Zhu family is really capable of rebellion. You guys lead the way and lead the Taiping Army to raid Yang San's house! Two more people come and take this evil master Yang San away!"

"it is good!"

"The house is being raided!"

"Hahaha"

"Yang San, you have come to this day!"

"Old man, go away"

A bunch of second-rate guys named Zhu were so happy when they heard that they were going to raid Master Yang San's house that they rushed to lead the way for Zhu Ba and the Taiping Army!

This group of people had already found out clearly that in the villages around Etang Town, the local tyrants had been beaten, the land had been divided up, and the wealth had also been divided up. They had been waiting for this day for a long time.

The scene that took place in Etang Town that day was repeated in Zhuyang Village today, and will be repeated in more places in the future!
The seven or eight poor and second-rate people surnamed Zhu who led the way to raid the home of Master Yang San would replace Master Yang San and become the actual rulers of Zhuyang Village. No matter how good these people were compared to Master Yang San, one thing was certain: after these poor and second-rate people turned over, they would definitely firmly support the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and desperately oppose the Qing Dynasty.

Because once the Qing Dynasty returns, it also means that gentry like Mr. Huang and Mr. Yang San Taiye will return, and then they will all be doomed.

Therefore, they must be loyal to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

After promoting people who were willing to support the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to replace Mr. Huang, Mr. Yang and the like, the villages in Daozhou and other places that were captured by the Taiping Army were completely controlled by the God Worshipping Society!

In Daozhou City, in the courtyard of Luo Yaoguo's Angel Mansion, it is now the busiest time.

Dishes were served one after another, and together with the plates, cups and bowls, the large tables in the tent were filled to the brim. Today, Archangel Luo was hosting a banquet in the name of celebrating the victory of Daozhou. He invited the head, deputy head, white fan and red flower double sticks of the Thirty-Six Fragrance Hall of the Tiandihui in Daozhou City, a total of more than a hundred people to attend the banquet.

These people were all the meritorious officials who conquered Daozhou City that day!
Moreover, they were representatives of dozens of mines of all sizes, 20,000 miners, and thousands of boatmen and dock workers around Daozhou. Among these 20,000 to 30,000 miners, boatmen, and dock workers, 20,000 had become new brothers of the Taiping Army, and more than 6,000 of them were serving in Luo Yaoguo's "Upper Army and Upper Second Army."

These miners, boatmen, and dock workers in Daozhou are only a small part of the workers in Hunan. There are also a large number of miners in Guiyangzhou and Chenzhou, which are close to Daozhou. As for boatmen and dock workers, they are even more scattered along the banks of Xiangjiang River and other major rivers in Hunan.

Almost all of these workers were brothers of the Tiandihui, because the mining and transportation industries in Hunan were originally controlled by the Tiandihui.

In order to mobilize the peasants in Daozhou, Luo Yaoguo offered the benefits of dividing land and floating wealth, and took the opportunity to build branches of the God Worshipping Society in the countryside. But what benefits could he give to the leaders of the Tiandihui, as well as the miners, boatmen, dock workers, and various handicraft workers in various places?

Although the agricultural population accounts for the vast majority of China's population today, it is not enough to rely solely on farmers. Workers and farmers must unite. This is the correct route that has been tested by practice!
Moreover, the miners, boatmen, dock workers, and various handicraft workers are much more organized and disciplined than farmers. More importantly, they have more advanced productivity.

In the main hall of the Angel Mansion, a large round table has been set up, with more than ten people sitting around it. Luo Yaoguo, Su Sanniang, Jiao Hong, Xu Yuegui, Xu Xianggui, Zhang San, Wu Ruxiao and other figures from the Tiandihui in Daozhou City are all present.

After seeing that the Tiandihui members had already had three rounds of drinks and five dishes, Luo Yaoguo put down the wine glass in his hand and started to talk business with those present.

"Today, my angel invites you to a banquet in my palace. In addition to celebrating the fact that the entire Daozhou has been taken over by my kingdom, I also want to discuss with you what kind of bright future the brothers of the Tiandihui who have joined the army will have!"

As soon as these words were spoken, all the leading figures of the Tiandihui present put down their wine glasses, and everyone looked at Archangel Luo with burning eyes.

Luo Yaoguo paused, and then continued, "I know that the brothers of the Tiandihui have seen the world, and the income from a few acres of paddy fields may not be in their eyes. So this angel is thinking that after we conquer Jiangnan, we will arrange a long-term wealth for the brothers of the Tiandihui who followed us to conquer the world. What do you think?"
