The situation in Yangzhou was turbulent, and the Han army stayed in a corner to temporarily avoid the front line. This made thieves such as Hong Xiuquan and Liu Xinmin become increasingly rampant and commit evil acts!
If this continues, the Han army will be in danger. Su Lie, Yuan Chonghuan, Qi Jiguang, Sun Jian and others each led their armies and attacked in four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest to kill the enemy.
Among them, Su Lie and Qi Jiguang joined forces to defeat Liu Xinmin, who was newly crowned king. He originally occupied half of the state's sphere of influence, but all was lost in the current battle, with the loss of troops and generals.
Liu Xinmin proclaimed himself King Duobao on the 28th. He was attacked hard by the Han army and was eventually left homeless. He had no choice but to lead his generals and was forced to go south to join Hong Xiuquan, the king of Jiangnan!
Hong Xiuquan's forces were joined by Liu Xinmin and others, and their overall combat effectiveness soared to the highest level.
Among the new generals, there was the fierce general Ba bandit to assist in the battle, as well as Lu bandit, Lu Qian, Jia Juxin, Cui Daocheng, Qiu Xiaoyi, Li Erseng, Pei Ruhai, Liu Dapeng, Liu Badao, Liu Wuzhou, Liu Shanbo, Zhang Lun, Song Jingang and other civil servants and generals. .
Hong Xiuquan was ambitious, and now his power had greatly increased, but he was dissatisfied with the title of Wang Jue. He resisted the Han army in the west and occupied Danyang County, invaded Kuaiji in the east and beat Lai Lai to protect his son. At the same time, he also ordered his generals Wei Changhui, Xiao Chaogui, Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng and others to help with the arrangement of proclaiming himself emperor!
"The people who succeeded the Han Dynasty should rule the world in peace. I, Hong Xiuquan, am willing to dedicate my body to protect thousands of people in the world."
In September 1888, Hong Xiuquan held a ceremony to proclaim himself emperor in Moling, Danyang County, Yangzhou, established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and proclaimed himself the Heavenly King. He made a national jade seal and a gold seal of the Heavenly King, and enfeoffed all the generals under his command to stand shoulder to shoulder. The momentum was so powerful that it shocked the world.
After Hong Xiuquan became emperor, he immediately renamed Moling Jianye and made it the capital. He appointed his beloved general Hong Rengan as the prime minister, Guo Wei as the general to protect the country, and Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Wei Changhui, Yang Xiuqing and others as the four generals to conquer the west, east, south and north!
In addition, Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, also conferred special royal titles: Xiao Chaogui was made the king of the west, Wei Changhui was the king of the north, Yang Xiuqing was the king of the east, Feng Yunshan was the king of the south, Hong Rengan was the king of Qian, Chen Yu became the king of Ying, and Li Xiucheng is the loyal king, Guo Wei is the Zhou king, Fu Yanqing is the brave king, Ba Gui is the wing king, Liu Xinmin is the treasure king...
In addition, the deceased generals were also posthumously granted the title of Qin Rigang as King of Yan, Wei Jun as Guozong, Luo Outline as King of Fen, and Chai Jin as King of Jue.
There were more than a hundred feudal kings, among whom there were more than ten who were kings of the same name, all of whom were Hong Xiuquan's confidants. The rest are not kings in the same name, but they are kings in name only, and they are in vain!
During the proclaiming ceremony, in addition to conferring the title of king, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan also ordered the Prime Minister Hong Rengan to promulgate the national policy "Celestial Land Acquisition System".
The content of "Chinese Land Acre System" states bluntly:
(1) Declare that all land and wealth belong to the emperor.
Determine: the principle of "everyone in the world cultivates the fields together". "We have fields to cultivate together, we have food to eat together, we have clothes to wear together, we have money to work together."
It stipulates that "all fields are divided into nine grades" and "all fields are divided according to population, regardless of whether men or women are divided into half equal parts good or bad".
(2) Define the administrative system below the county level, establish township officials at all levels, and stipulate the recommendations, promotions, demotions, rewards and punishments for township officials.
Every 25 households of residents are called "two", and the "two sima" are responsible for managing production, distribution, education, religion, justice, and local armed forces.
(3) Specify the method for paying surplus grain and money to the "Treasury". After each household's agricultural and sideline business harvests, after deducting rations, the rest will be paid to the "Treasury" and distributed according to the system.
…
The promulgation of the "Celestial Land Acre System" brought the popularity of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to its peak in Yangzhou and its popularity. The promulgation of this system greatly infringed upon the interests of the wealthy families in Yangzhou!
Gu Hao forced those wealthy families who did not want to join the war to rebel and defend their share of the 'cake'.
For a time, there were countless rebels in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Aristocratic families in various counties and counties donated money and troops to form an alliance of aristocratic families to fight against the rebel Hong Xiuquan.
While the aristocratic family was engaged in an armed confrontation with Hong Xiuquan, wise men also secretly contacted Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Yang Jian, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Shixie in Jiaozhou to request their reinforcements!
The aristocratic family's request for help from the governors of various states was leaked by traitors. The Taiping Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan became furious and immediately ordered the three generals Wei Changhui, Li Xiucheng, and Yang Xiuqing to command 20,000 elite troops each to carry out an operation to eliminate the aristocratic families in the country.
Hong Xiuquan's move undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Under the policy of preferring to kill the wrongdoer before letting go, the voice of resistance within the country became stronger.
The family alliance headed by Lu Kang of the Lu family in Lujiang County gathered 40,000 soldiers to cooperate with the offensives of Su Lie, Qi Jiguang, Sun Jian, Yuan Chonghuan and others from the northwest, and continued to fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
Just a week after Hong Xiuquan proclaimed himself emperor and established the country, Emperor Ling of the Han court heard the news and was so angry that his eyes were split open and he directly ordered the righteous soldiers of the world to raise troops to conquer the rebels.
In addition, Emperor Ling also ordered Yuzhou Yuan Shu, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Yangzhou Kuaiji County Tang Mao, Jiaozhou Shixie, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Xuzhou Tao Qian and other state pastors and county guards to send troops to behead Hong Xiuquan and destroy his Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Champion!
"Ding! Hong Xiuquan replicated the actions of his previous life, established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and proclaimed himself emperor. This caused fluctuations in the historical plot and the balancing function was turned on again. Please forgive me..."
The system's mechanical sound sounded again, which made Yuzhou Yuan Shu frown slightly and lamented as if he was not surprised.
During this period, the troubles caused by Dong Zhuo, Wang Mang, Hong Xiuquan, Zhang Jiao and others caused the system balance function to be turned on, and countless people were born!
But what can be done? The only thing we can do is to take advantage of the situation and take it one step at a time.
"Ding! Among the balanced characters, please wait...
