Relying on these methods, although Deng Yingying did not have a direct battle with the soldiers of the previous dynasty, he still relied on these evil and crooked skills to scare the officials of the previous dynasty so much that in the end, I heard that When I heard that the Taiping Army was coming, I was so scared that I wet my butt.
They were so scared simply because the Taiping Army really dealt with these officials and did not resort to vain tricks.
Within the Taiping Army, as long as officials were caught, they would be executed in front of the common people. They might be tortured into pieces, burned out of sky lanterns, hanged and beheaded, peeled from day lilies, cut off their hands and feet, castrated into slaves, or castrated into slaves. There are more than a hundred kinds of punishments, such as picking tendons and breaking knees.
If you kill someone when you're in officialdom, won't you kill the wrong person? King Hong Tian also had a theory about this. The bad world in the previous dynasty was not caused by the mistakes of one family, but the result of rampant corruption, perversion of the law and indulgence in the entire officialdom. In other words, any official would probably have a lot of money on his hands. Clean, if an official is really a good official, when the execution is carried out, the people will definitely cry out for injustice, and when the time comes, he can be punished as appropriate.
At least, most of the officials are as black as crows in the world, and killing any of them would not be an injustice to them.
However, in the states and counties where the Taiping Army passed through, it was difficult for most officials to escape. In the end, whenever they heard that the state or county where they were was attacked, corrupt officials often fled with their families. It was impossible to escape and they would not be humiliated. The only option is to commit suicide by taking poison or hanging from a beam. Although the body will not be punished, at least it will not be so painful.
It can be said that the Taiping Army gained the support of most people by killing corrupt officials and equalizing land. This also made the Taiping Army continue to grow. When they occupied Jinling City, they knew that the people hated these officials, and of course they More willing to eliminate harm for the people.
Closer to home, after Deng Yingying entered Jinling City, in addition to the above responsibilities, he also acted as a priest for King Hong Tian, calling for the salvation of the souls of the Taiping Army generals who were killed by the army of the previous dynasty, so that they could be reborn in bliss and enjoy blessings with their Heavenly Father. .
After Tian Liumei entered Jinling, she was taken as a concubine by a certain king. In this case, she had much more information than the average Taiping Army. It was also at this time that she knew about the Taiping Army. There is also a team like Deng Yingying.
"Then, according to your opinion, these evil spirits are actually the means of Deng Yingying." When Taoist Jin heard Deng Yingying, his tone became concerned. Deng Yingying's reputation was particularly loud in the countryside. Back then, when the Taiping Army passed through the border, many people They would rob rich households and help the poor. If the wealthy households were unwilling to pay, they would let Deng Yingying scare them first. Most wealthy households would consider themselves unlucky and pay for their failure if they saw Deng Yingying’s ability to communicate with ghosts. If a wealthy household resists in a corner, the Taiping army will raid their homes, loot them, and burn them for three days.
Tian Liumei continued to explain: "Back then, after I was selected from the women's camp, I became the concubine of the Western Prince's Mansion. At that time, King Hong Tian of Jinling City already knew that the imperial concubine of Yongming County had been sent to Shen Tang by the government. As for the remnants of the Taiping Army, they were also executed. Since then, I have heard that King Hong Tian sent Deng Yingying to sneak into Yongming in disguise, not knowing what to do."
"Looking at it now, the Nightmare Evil Syndrome is the work of these people."
"Then, since you are already aware of it, why don't you tell the truth to the outside world?" After Song Siyuan asked, Tian Liumei immediately showed bitterness, waved her hands and said, "I can't protect myself after I come back from the northern camp, how can it be possible?" Forget about superfluous matters, besides, after Tianjing was breached, the Taiping Kingdom has been defeated, and even the old people no longer exist. I have no idea what these lamp shadows want to do."
"I am alone in my family. It will not do me any good to tell these people's conspiracy. If I offend them, I will not even be able to save my life." She paused and said in a rather helpless tone: "Even if I really do I want to tell others, but who can I tell? At that time, I had been deported to Baixiong Ridge. There was no human habitation within ten miles here. The people of Huangtian Town would only tell the county magistrate if they found out." She put down the shoe mat in her hand. , and picked up an embroidered handkerchief covered on the bamboo strips and prepared to move the needle: "In the end, this lawsuit was brought to the government again. I was not tolerated by the government, and this matter also involved the Taiping Kingdom. Deng Yingying, no matter how I explain, the government will probably regard me as an accomplice of Deng Yingying. If I am punished according to the crime of rebelling against the party, I will not even have the last peaceful life."
"Since there is no way forward and backward, why should I be in trouble with myself? I am already an abandoned citizen of the previous government. It will not do any good to remind them. On the contrary, I will suffer for this reason. The only thing I can do is to help these people The woman relieves the symptoms and at least makes them suffer less.”
"So many years have passed!" Tian Liumei took a long breath, and her eyes became extremely mysterious: "Deng Yingying has never shown up. Logically speaking, I treat these people and relieve their symptoms. They should be able to notice that these dozens of They haven’t come to trouble me in years, which is a bit strange, either because it’s not time yet, or it must be because they are afraid of something and don’t dare to come out.”
"Grandma Tian, weren't you also a member of Deng Yingying before?" Song Siyuan noticed the message in her words, and then thinking about the hard work Tian Liumei knew, she could guess her identity.
Tian Liumei nodded to everyone: "Indeed, I was selected in the women's camp because of my proficiency in medical skills. I was already in Deng Yingying, but later when I followed Deng Yingying to meet King Hong Tian, I was attracted by King Xi. This Then she entered the Xiwang Mansion as a concubine."
"I have indeed come into contact with Deng Yingying, and I know all the characters in Deng Yingying, but I don't have a deep understanding of them, and I don't have much friendship with them. I don't know who the Deng Yingying is when he comes to Yongming."
"Then what do you think Deng Yingying wanted to do after sneaking into Yongming County?" Jin Laodao was more concerned about this issue. If he just came to take revenge on the people of Yongming County, it would be a bit overkill.
Tian Liumei lowered her voice and became cautious: "I remember that King Hong Tian became famous here and ascended the throne, and because it was close to his hometown of Guangxi, this place was regarded as Longxing Land. Perhaps King Hong Tian hid here. What the hell, he almost killed all the wealthy landowners, officials and gentry in nearby counties, and all their properties were put into the holy treasury." 99
"Even though King Hong Tian left at that time, he never thought about losing Yongming completely. He still sent Tianfei and the remaining troops to stay here. However, you also know what happened later. If he really cares about something in Yongming, then It's completely reasonable. Maybe he hid some of the treasures he plundered, and these remnants were just to protect the treasures." Tian Liumei's words were reasonable. Taoist priest Jin explained: "Such a guess is indeed possible. There must be something they care about in Yongming County, otherwise, they would not have been able to easily lay out their plans here for so long. The evil cry of injustice may be just the surface, but if you dig deeper, there may be other inside stories."
