Chapter 838: Taiping
Jiaozhou, Guilin County Administration, southeast of Bushan City, Jintian Village. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Jiaozhou is located, originally the land of South Vietnam, sparsely populated, since the Central Plains turmoil, tens of thousands of people fled from the Central Plains, so that the population of Jiaozhou is greatly enriched.
Bushan City is the seat of Guilin County, and although the population is large, it is only tens of thousands.
Jintian Village is one of the large and small villages under the Bu Mountain, the population was originally only a few hundred, but now there are nearly seven or eight thousand people, and from time to time people come from distant places.
Tents were set up inside and outside the village, and a young man in the camp with a simple homemade weapon was training in the heat.
The main roads inside and outside the village were full of young men who were full of military generals, but these people were dressed in armor, holding shields and ring-headed swords, and they were much more well prepared, not inferior to the local soldiers of the Great Wei.
These men, women, and children, without exception, all wore a yellow scarf around their heads.
At the very heart of the village, in a military hall converted from an ancestral hall, a tall man was pacing with his hands in his hands, glancing at the map hanging from the wall from time to time.
The man was also wrapped in a yellow scarf on his head, the heavenly court was full, his eyes showed a deep and gloomy color, his brows were tightly locked, and he was obviously thinking about something.
"Recently, nearly 7,000 members of our Taiping Sect have rushed to Jintian Village from all over Jiaozhou, with our current strength, it is enough to capture Bushan City in one fell swoop, and now is the right time to start an incident, if it drags on, I am afraid that it will arouse the suspicion of the government, and it will be unfavorable for us to take precautions at that time."
Behind the man in the yellow scarf, the elder in a Taoist robe, with his long gray beard, calmly persuaded him.
This old man looks like a Taoist priest attire, holding a whisk in his hand, his beard and hair are white, but there is a trace of essence in his eyes, and there is a faint bit of Taoist fairy bones.
"Master Yu, if something happens today, we have no way to retreat, then it is impossible for the Wei Emperor Pottery to let us go, sooner or later the army will come to conquer, do you think we have a chance of winning?" The man in the yellow turban turned his head and looked at the Taoist priest with a straight face.
The Taoist priest surnamed Yu shook off the dust, a confident sneer ignited between his eyebrows, and said proudly: "Since the failure of the first uprising of my Taiping Dao, we have been secretly withdrawing our remaining elite sect members to this Jiaozhou for decades, we have been secretly preaching for so many years, and the entire Jiaozhou is already all over our sect members. ”
This Taoist priest surnamed Yu sprinkled his words, revealing a strong self-confidence, as if everything was under his control.
He is Yu Ji, one of the important figures in Taiping Dao.
In that year, Zhang Jiao led the Taiping Dao to launch the Yellow Turban Uprising, and Yu Jishang was preaching in the Jingyang area, he did not suggest that Zhang Jiao launch an uprising, and it was not too late to launch an uprising after the Taiping Dao spread all over the north and south of the river.
It's a pity that Zhang Jiao was too anxious, didn't listen to Yu Ji's persuasion, and hurriedly launched an uprising, but was finally defeated by the Han Dynasty, and he died of illness, not to mention, and Taiping Dao suffered a heavy blow.
At that time, Yu Ji was in the south and did not participate in the Taiping Dao uprising, so the Jiangnan Taiping Dao led by him did not suffer any loss in strength.
So Yu Ji began to develop the Taiping Road extensively in Jiangdong, intending to re-expand the Taiping Road, and when the time was ripe, take advantage of the time of the Central Plains melee, and then start an incident in the south, and then retreat to protect half of the south of the country, and enter the north to fight for the world.
It's a pity that Yu Ji soon ran into the obstacle of the little overlord Sun Ce, and as soon as he took Jiangdong, he strictly forbade the Taiping Dao to teach, and arrested him directly to be executed.
Fortunately, Yu Ji escaped by stealing beams and changing pillars with the help of his followers in the government, and since then he has fled Jiangdong, and he no longer dares to develop Taiping Dao in Sun Ce's territory.
Desperate, Yu Ji, in desperation, had no choice but to cross the Wuling Mountains and bring the Taiping Road to Jiaozhou, in an attempt to continue to develop the Taiping Road in this most remote state in China.
But not long after the good days, the army of Wei entered Jiaozhou, and soon destroyed the local separatist regime, and included Jiaozhou in the territory of Wei.
The Wei Emperor Tao Shang was naturally deeply disgusted with the Yellow Turban remnants, and the Jiaozhou officials at all levels under his rule naturally strictly forbade the Taiping Dao to preach, which was another blow to Ji, and it took him many years and countless efforts to reluctantly develop thousands of sectarians in Jiaozhou.
It wasn't until more than a year ago that he met the disciple named Hong Xiuquan in front of him.
This young man, who was full of poetry and books, was originally from a powerful family in Jiaozhou, and claimed that because Wei forcibly implemented the Shang Dynasty reform in Jiaozhou, the down-and-out scribe who destroyed his family completely changed the fate of Taiping Dao at a Taiping Road meeting.
At that meeting, Hong Xiuquan suddenly lay on the ground, convulsed, and foamed at the mouth, and after waking up, he claimed to be possessed by Huang Tian, and borrowed his Hong Xiuquan's body to issue a heavenly edict to the mortal sect.
Huang Tiannai is the supreme god of Taiping Dao, since the establishment of Taiping Dao, it has always been enshrined on the platform by the sect, even if Zhang Jiao rebelled that year, he only called himself the general of Tiangong, claiming that he was the general sent by Huang Tian, acting for the heavens.
And Hong Xiuquan's so-called possession this time directly became Huang Tian's possession and descended to the earth, directly giving orders to the people in the world.
At that time, the Taiping Taoist people present were completely shocked, and they all believed it to be true, and they all knelt down in front of them to meet their Yellow Heaven Supreme God.
Yu Ji saw that there was a problem at that time, but seeing that the sect members had already knelt down, in desperation, he had no choice but to kneel.
In the worship of everyone, "Huang Tian" took advantage of Hong Xiuquan's mouth to seal Hong Xiuquan as the "King of Heaven", leading the Taiping Taoists in the world, eradicating the demon of pottery merchants, overthrowing the evil country of Wei, and establishing a peaceful world without official oppression, no hunger, cold, disease, no fraud and theft, and everyone is pure.
Yu Ji was very unhappy, feeling that his position as the leader of the Taiping Dao had been usurped, and Hong Xiuquan immediately used the mouth of "Huang Tian" to seal Yu Ji as the Heavenly Master, and ordered him to assist him, the Heavenly King, to realize the great cause of the Taiping World.
Yu Ji was a little satisfied, and suddenly found that Hong Xiuquan's play seemed to have won the cohesion of the Taiping disciples, and after weighing, Yu Ji decided to accept this fait accompli for the time being.
So, after the performance that day, Hong Xiuquan established his position as the new leader of Taiping Dao, and the so-called manifestation miracle of Huang Tian's possession was quickly spread by the believers, and Hong Xiuquan's status as Huang Tianfan's body was established in Taiping Dao.
Subsequently, Hong Xiuquan relied on his unique ability to incite people's hearts, coupled with the occasional performance of a miracle of "possession by the yellow sky", absorbing thousands of Jiaozhou people at lightning speed, and Taiping Dao flew in Jiaozhou, and in just over a year, the number of believers expanded more than tenfold.
Seeing Hong Xiuquan's god-like ability, and seeing that he had developed Taiping Dao to such a point in a short period of time, Yu Ji gradually tended to surrender to Hong Xiuquan from the bottom of his heart, so he did his best to assist Hong Xiuquan as a heavenly master.
Now, Yu Ji saw that the Taiping Road in Jiaozhou had become a climate and the time was ripe, so he persuaded Hong Xiuquan to secretly gather the congregation in Jintian Village, preparing to follow Zhang Jiao back then and launch the second Taiping Road Uprising.
"I'm not worried about whether to take Xiajiaozhou or not, what I'm thinking about is whether we are the opponent of the potter, after all, he has occupied most of the world, and even the Qin State has been destroyed by him." Hong Xiuquan's tone was as calm as ice, and he was not as excited and confident as Yu Ji.
Yu Ji then said again: "Although the pottery thief has destroyed the Qin State, he still has to face the powerful offensive of the Han State and the Xianbei people, and it is still unknown whether he can survive this pass, let alone draw troops south to deal with us, this is our great opportunity." ”
Speaking of excitement, Yu Ji came to the map, raised his hand to the north and pointed to the north, "Now the main force of Wei is in the north, Jiangnan can be said to be empty, after we capture Jiaozhou, we will immediately wave our army to the north, take Jingzhou in one go, and then go down the river east to seize Yangzhou, against the west of the Jiangxi to attack Yizhou, then the south half of the country for my gain, we can enter the Central Plains with the pottery thief, retreat can be cut off half of the wall, and the Han country in the north should respond to each other, when the pottery thief is strong, what is there to fear." ”
Hong Xiuquan was silent, his eyes wandered on the map, and a trace of excitement finally ignited in his eyes.
At this time, Na Yu Ji said again: "This time is a God-given opportunity, if we miss it, after the pottery thief removes the threat from the north, once we free up our hands, we will be difficult to ascend to the sky if we think about it, this is the perfect opportunity given to us by Huang Tian, we must not miss it." ”
Hong Xiu's whole body shook slightly, and the doubts between his eyebrows suddenly dissipated, leaving only an iron-like determination.
Then, a meaningful smile flashed in his eyes, and he asked: "Heavenly Master, you first take Jiaozhou, then take Jingzhou, take Yizhou in the west, and Yangzhou in the east, according to the strategy of the southern half of the wall, it is really far-sighted, I guess that behind the Heavenly Master, there must be a master to offer you advice." ”
Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head and smiled: "I can't hide anything from the Heavenly King's heavenly eyes, I can't hide it, this strategy is indeed someone else, I don't know if the Heavenly King has heard of Sima Hui?" ”
"Is that the great hermit of Jingzhou, the teacher of Wolong and the phoenix, Mr. Sima, who is known as Mr. Shuijing?" Hong Xiuquan said.
"That's the man." Yu Ji nodded and said: "This Mr. Shuijing was originally a wealthy family of Jingxiang, and when the potters implemented the Shang Martingale Reform Law, they wanted to break the foundation of the family, so Mr. Shuijing was forced to move his family south to Jiaozhou. Not long ago, I visited this Mr. Shuijing, and he has expressed his great admiration for the Heavenly King, and once the time is ripe, he is willing to go out of the mountain for the Heavenly King, and this plan is exactly what he has offered for the Heavenly King. ”
"Is that true?" Hong Xiuquan's eyes lit up.
"Seriously." Yu Ji smiled again: "In addition to Mr. Sima, there are also many hermit masters of the world clan who have taken refuge from Jingxiang, such as Pang Degong, and they are all dissatisfied with the atrocities of the pottery thieves to eradicate the clan, and they have already said that if the king of heaven causes trouble, they are willing to help. ”
Hearing Yu Ji's words, Hong Xiuquan was so excited that he couldn't help laughing, and said proudly: "It seems that this Heavenly King is expected by everyone, with the help of resourceful people like Mr. Shui Jing Pang Degong, this Heavenly King is not worried about the failure of the great cause, so according to the predetermined date, he will raise troops to overthrow the tyrannical Wei and establish a peaceful world!" ”
Seeing that Hong Xiuquan had made up his mind, Yu Ji breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly said: "The first Taiping Dao uprising, my senior brother Zhang Jiao did not establish the country in time, and it was completely a rogue style, so he was defeated by the Han Dynasty. ”
Hong Xiuquan thought so, and after pondering for a long time, Fang said solemnly: "Since we are following the Taiping Taoist doctrine, and the teachers of the uprising are all Taiping Taoist sects, let's name the country Taiping Heavenly Kingdom." ”
