Wei Changhui died, Tianjing was peaceful, and Hong Xiuquan's hanging heart finally calmed down.
Hong Xiuquan found that Tianjing, which had calmed down, was obviously extremely deserted.
Yang Xiuqing will no longer use the Heavenly Father to go down to earth to toss him, Wei Changhui also carried a black pot and went with Yang Xiuqing, Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui did not give him a dream, the six brothers who were close at the beginning, and now there are only Shi Dakai, the winged king who came to King Qin with troops and stayed outside the city for the time being.
Hong Xiuquan, who is lonely, misses this sworn little brother very much, and hopes that he can go to Tianjing to help him. Moreover, this is also the voice of the people.
A kingdom shall not be left without a master for a day, and the Lord shall not be without a minister for a day. With the departure of the military advisor Yang Xiuqing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also fell into anarchy.
The position of military advisor is about equivalent to the prime minister. Generally speaking, the opposition has not yet formally overthrown the position of military adviser before the former dynasty turned into a regular officer, which is called a military advisor. When the national political power was formally established, the military division was also turned into a regular and called the prime minister.
Yang Xiuqing, the military division of Zuo Fuzheng, played this role, and his Dongwang Mansion was also the de facto provisional central government. Yang Xiuqing, the military advisor, is probably the most powerful and powerful in history, and the only "quasi-general manager" who dares to challenge the boss before the success of the revolution. The king of the east was killed, and the provisional central government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was dissolved, and the military affairs were paralyzed.
Judging from historical experience, the struggle between Hong Yang's monarchy and relative power did come a little too early.
Under normal circumstances, this issue is not put on the agenda until after the formal establishment of the government. Before, because the future emperor or quasi-emperor had to rely on the quasi-prime minister, that is, the military advisor, to work hard, so they generally got along well, and the contradictions were often still in a latent state, even if they had the idea of cutting power, they could only be treated as suspected cases, and they would not rush to fight in the same room.
Since Qin Shi Huang set up the prime minister, the emperor's weakening of the power of the prime minister has become one of the priorities of the emperors of all dynasties. From the Qin Dynasty's three-centimeter division of power to the reuse of the Inner Dynasty by Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, from the three-province system of the Northern and Southern Dynasties to the separation of power by the three vice-ministers of the Song Dynasty, from Zhu Yuanzhang's abolition of the prime minister's system, the establishment of the cabinet by Ming Chengzu to the establishment of the military aircraft department in Yongzheng, the emperors of the past dynasties through the relay race, generation after generation, from the division and weakening of the power to the final deprivation of the right to merge, finally drew an end to the struggle between the monarch and the power.
This kind of unrestricted centralization of power must bring about unlimited autocracy and dictatorship, and with it, unlimited corruption.
History is a master of comedy, and successive emperors wanted to pool the power of the world for themselves to ensure that it would be passed on for generations to come, only to hasten the demise of the monarchy. Isn't that a big joke!
Hong Xiuquan didn't have time to think about these questions, he was concerned about who would replace the vacancy left by Yang Xiuqing.
Hong Xiuquan thought of Shi Dakai, who came to King Qin with 40,000 troops outside the city, this little brother didn't talk much, but he was a very obedient little brother.
Shi Dakai's mind is all on fighting, as long as he goes out, he can rest assured. What's more, Shi Dakai is not interested in religion, he is not like Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui, he likes acting careers, is keen on mortal programs, makes him kneel at every turn, teaches him a few words at every turn, and even spanks his ass.
Thinking of this, Hong Xiuquan couldn't help but feel a long-lost warmth in his heart.
For two months, Hong Xiuquan watched his brothers fall in a pool of blood one by one and leave him. The original six brothers, now only themselves and Shi Dakai are left.
If you want to destroy the Qing demon and enjoy peace forever, you can't do without the help of this little brother.
Hong Xiuquan ordered someone to cut off the head of the northern traitor Wei Changhui and sent it to Ningguo Mansion to let Shi Da open his eyes, telling him that the king of heaven had destroyed this pest, avenged the blood of the whole family for him, and he could enter Beijing to meet the king with peace of mind.
When Shi Dakai saw Wei Changhui's head, he couldn't help but feel sad and heartache. Such a large-scale self-killing did cause great pain to Shi Dakai's heart and left a long-lasting shadow.
He knew that the King of Heaven was waiting for his return.
Shi Dakai! Shi Dakai! Shi Dakai!
On November 28, 1856, the soldiers and civilians of Tianjing, who had been tortured by Wei Changhui and had just come out of the Red Terror, were greatly relieved to see Shi Dakaifeng, who had returned to Tianjing, handsome and heroic, and unanimously elected Shi Dakai to replace Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, to take care of the military and political affairs of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In the eyes of the soldiers and civilians, this young prince, not only handsome, but also capable, took charge of himself at a young age, led the Western Expeditionary Army to defeat the Zeng State Domain, so that the Kingdom of Heaven turned danger into peace, and then opened up territory for the Kingdom of Heaven, conquered most of Jiangxi, three times Wuchang, and then joined forces with the Tianjing City Defense Force to defeat the Jiangnan camp, so that the outside of Tianjing City was peaceful.
In the eyes of the military and civilians of Tianjing, what is even more rare is that this young prince has a different mind and bearing from ordinary people. Shi Dakai only brought two prime ministers with him, and he dared to step into the bloody Tianjing City, and righteously accused the murderous demon king Wei Changhui. After being forced to escape from Tianjing, he was able to bring troops to King Qin in time, and asked King Tianwang to kill Wei Changhui to reassure the people.
In Shi Dakai, the young leader, the vast number of soldiers and civilians of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom saw bravery, justice and kindness!
In the years of blood and fire, justice and kindness have made the soldiers and people of the Kingdom of Heaven so fascinated and unstoppable!
The military and civilians of Tianjing unanimously strongly demanded that the new title of the Wing King be enshrined - the Righteous King!
The strong voice of the masses reminded Hong Xiuquan of the military advisor Yang Xiuqing who had just died, and at that time, the soldiers of the Heavenly Kingdom were full of infinite admiration and love for this spokesperson of Heavenly Father.
Hong Xiuquan smiled, but behind this smile, there seemed to be a trace of imperceptible melancholy. Because of this melancholy, Hong Xiuquan did not seal Shi Dakai as the "Righteous King", but gave him the titles of "Holy Spirit Electricity" and "General of the General of the General Army".
But Hong Xiuquan's smile is at least partly heartfelt.
walked Yang Xiuqing, and Shi Dakai.
Since entering Tianjing, Hong Xiuquan has relied on Yang Xiuqing in recent years, and major military affairs are generally approved and implemented by some high-level managers such as Yang Xiuqing, Shi Dakai, and Wei Changhui. Years of life in the palace have made Hong Xiuquan a little unfamiliar with military affairs, and he rarely meets the generals of the Heavenly Kingdom, including the civil and military officials in Tianjing City. Now, with Shi Dakai, a capable subordinate, taking care of all this for him, he can also evacuate his depressed and irritable heart, concentrate on revising the hundred schools of thought, writing his own poems, and engaging in literary creation.
Hong Xiuquan is looking forward to Shi Dakai bringing him good news. In addition to Hong Xiuquan and the soldiers and civilians of the Heavenly Kingdom, even foreigners are also looking forward to Shi Dakai's wonderful performance.
After the Tianjing Rebellion, McGowan, an international figure living in Tianjing, was also very optimistic about the young new head of the provisional government: "This young leader is heroic, chivalrous, brave and upright, and he is the backbone of the whole army. His administrative talent is now in the experiment, and we can only wait for the results. We also need to wait and see how the military talents of the rising leaders compare to those who have died. ”
Shi Dakai was in a happy mood, because he not only won the support of the military and civilians of the Heavenly Kingdom, but also upgraded from "Electrician" to "Holy Spirit Electricity". Although Shi Dakai was not interested in the trick of the strange dream being ordered and the Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother going down to earth, he was not disgusted by this religious title, and he was a little happy.
Shi Dakai is undoubtedly grateful to the Heavenly King, and now although he has resigned from the title of "Righteous King", Hong Xiuquan has made an exception to upgrade himself to the "Holy Spirit Electricity", which means that from now on, his religious status will be equal to the previous Yang Xiuqing.
Yang Xiuqing received the title of Holy Kamikaze on December 26, 1853, the day after the famous "spanking incident".
After Hong Xiuquan was bullied by Yang Xiuqing unprecedentedly, although he was very angry, he couldn't show his anger, and even in order to prevent the vicious incident from happening again, and in order to thank Yang Xiuqing's subordinates for keeping a "fart", he had to pretend to be high-minded and broad-minded, and curry favor with Yang Xiuqing against his will.
On the second day of the "spanking incident", Yang Xiuqing also seemed to feel that this matter was a little excessive, so he personally came to the palace of the Celestial Empire, comforted Hong Xiuquan with good words, and said that he did it for the sake of the king of heaven.
Yang Xiuqing's appeasement moved Hong Xiuquan greatly, he felt that although this brother was hateful, he was also a little cute after all, so he reassured Yang Xiuqing: "Brother Jesus was born in the Jewish country by the order of God the Father, and he once told his disciples: There will be a comforter coming to the world the day after tomorrow. Brother Er's view of today's Qing compatriots (Yang Xiuqing) and the behavior of the compatriots, the day before yesterday Brother said that the comforter, the holy divine wind is also the cell. ”
Under Hong Xiuquan's passionate canonization, Yang Xiuqing has since had two more religious honorary titles: Holy Divine Wind and Comforter. These two titles show that although Hong Xiuquan's religious literacy has improved a little compared to when he first arrived at Luo Xiaoquan for further study, he is still not a professional. It is estimated that his advanced training teacher Luo Xiaoquan would not be so angry that he vomited blood after knowing about the religious canonization incident.
From the end of 1853 to the beginning of 1854, Hong Xiuquan also took advantage of the characteristics of "the unity of heaven and man" in traditional Chinese culture, and canonized the corresponding honorary titles of the leadership team with corresponding celestial phenomena: Feng Yunshan was the cloud master, Xiao Chao Guiyu was the teacher, Wei Changhui was the Lei master, and Shi Dakai was the electric master.
Hong Xiuquan also deliberately asked Qin Rigang and others to play to further clarify his intentions: "My lord is the king of heaven is the sun coming, all directions are Pucha, and my eastern kings are the cloth of wind and clouds, rain, thunder and lightning, and they are all living beings." "Hong Xiuquan's intention in this move is to make Yang Xiuqing and the others' wind, clouds, rain, thunder, and lightning juxtaposed, highlighting the supremacy of his own day, but the difference between the Holy Spirit Wind and the teachers also shows that Yang Xiuqing's status is above the other four kings.
The expulsion of Yang Xiuqing's divine status and the replacement of the holy divine wind with the Holy Spirit Electricity was a small punishment for Yang Xiuqing by Hong Xiuquan after he was forced to seal Long Live and the first step in rebuilding the theocratic system of the God Worship Sect before Hong Xiuquan reconstructed the leadership team.
The theocratic and practical powers of the leadership team are equal. After Hong Xiuquan gave Shi Dakai a proper position in the theocratic family, he should also be given a proper position of secular power next.
The Heavenly King canonized Shi Dakai with a position of independent innovation, which is called "General of the General of the General Army", that is, the commander-in-chief of the three armies. Shi Dakai took office and became the new deputy commander of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in charge of the government. Yiwangfu became the new central provisional government of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Shi Dakai sat in the palace, his sword eyebrows locked, pacing and pondering. According to the military information from all sides, he knew that he was facing a critical situation.
At the same time, he was puzzled: Am I going to be like them? Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui......
