A high-level meeting of the Taiping Army, triggered by representatives sent by the Liberation Army, was held for two days behind closed doors on the historical issue of the Tianjing Rebellion. The greatest achievement of the meeting was to clarify the understanding of the upper echelons of the Taiping Army on the changes in Tianjing. The Tianjing Revolution was a tragedy, the cause of which was the irrational power structure in the system, and the development was a great chaos of personnel and power within the system, and the result was a great internal fire in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so that the opportunity to compete for world domination was lost.

The separatist behavior of the Yiwang Shi Da to detach himself from Germany accelerated the decline of the Taiping Army. But this incident happened for a reason, and Shi Dakai did not mention the reasons why he was compulsed, but just frankly admitted that what he did was wrong. Killing people is not enough, what is the benefit of disposing of the Wing King Shi Dakai for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Taking advantage of Shi Dakai's initiative to admit his mistakes, everyone once again emphasized the belonging and loyalty of the upper echelons to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

After carrying on the past and forging ahead into the future and straightening out the internal problems, the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to complete the unfinished business of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East at that time. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was actually a dualistic state in Yong'an, and the Heavenly King represented divine power and the legitimacy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Feng Yunshan, the king of the south, was the pope and was responsible for the actual organization of the religious system. The alliance between Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, represented the secular administrative power.

This system had big problems from the very beginning, and the Heavenly King Hong Xiu's ability was mediocre, whether it was running a religion or engaging in military and political affairs, he was not outstanding. However, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan has a supreme position in doctrine. After the Tianjing Rebellion, Hong Xiuquan finally took power, so the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was always in turmoil.

Now that the king of heaven Hong Xiuquan has been dead for three years, even the filial piety that has not changed for three years has come to change. Based on the common understanding of the Tianjing Rebellion, the kings made a major change to the system of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The first is to reposition the Heavenly King, and after discussion, the upper echelons believe that the current Heavenly King Hongtian Fugui is only a secular monarch, and is no longer God's spokesman on earth. After the determination of the Heavenly King, the position of the kings was also adjusted in a balanced manner. The position of the main army division was abolished, and the left and right prime ministers were set up, Shi Dakai was the left prime minister, and Lin Fengxiang was the right prime minister. The six-ministry system was fully established and the imperial examination was carried out. The prime ministers of the left and right joined hands to implement the work of unifying the military system.

Most of the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom did not accept Shi Dakai's evaluation of Wei Ze, and no matter what happened at that time, Wei Ze's actions could hardly be regarded as a betrayal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Hong Xiuquan had his own troubles again, and he decided to kill Wei Ze at that time. After Hong Xiuquan's attack failed, Wei Ze had the ability to break through Tianjing City and kill or imprison Hong Xiuquan, but Wei Ze did not choose to do so. This is already the end of benevolence.

Therefore, after the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom discussed the future strategic choices, they could only face the reality and admit that there were only two options left, either to confront Wei Ze to the end, or to finally surrender.

Shi Dakai's choice was to order the middle and lower levels of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to obey the policy of opposing Wei Ze, Lin Fengxiang himself naturally wanted to continue to be loyal to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but he thought that the twisted melon was not sweet, and he had to give the Taiping brothers a chance before making this choice. If it's really someone who really wants to go back to their hometown, they should be allowed to go.

When the information reached Wei Ze's side, the internal discussion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had not yet ended, but on the whole, there were few people who supported Lin Fengxiang, and those who supported Shi Dakai obviously had an advantage.

Wei Ze did not comment on this issue, and no matter how many people in the Taiping Army were determined to confront New China to the end, they could not change the final outcome. After reading the information about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Wei Ze commented, "The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has finally eliminated Hong Xiuquan's influence and turned into a traditional Chinese small court ruled by powerful ministers. ”

This is something that Yang Xiuqing once tried, but ultimately failed. Later, many people, including Lin Fengxiang, made efforts in this regard, because Hong Xiuquan himself had to work hard to seize power, but he was not able to succeed. Three years after Hong Xiuquan's death, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally completed this process. Fifteen years have passed since the Tianjing Change.

Despite his busy schedule, Wei Ze wrote the essay "The Limits of the Political Development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", in which he introduced the historical limitations of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself, and the vigorous peasant uprising eventually turned into a traditional change of dynasty. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom imitated the success of the Liberation Army and established modern military organizations such as the General Staff, this change did not change the nature of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's small feudal court. The establishment of the new system heralded the end of the revolution of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the rulers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could only go so far.

Wei Ze felt that this article was important, but no one in China at this time felt that it was important to characterize the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The university hopes that the scientist Weeser will give lectures to the professors and teachers, and the industrial department is looking forward to the expert Weeser to help them point out the direction and methods of solving the technical difficulties, and the economic department hopes that His Majesty Weeser will quickly convene more analysis meetings to make more detailed judgments on the future economic direction, and the military department will be better, and the navy will wait for the governor of Weeser to have time to discuss the specific battles of the navy's future war. The local government is eager for His Majesty Wei Ze to allocate more large-scale agricultural and transportation equipment to help them solve the problems encountered in the land reform and deepen the land reform as soon as possible.

is such a ball-haired Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, as long as the Governor gives an order, all departments can immediately join forces to crush the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to Governor Wei Zedu. Since the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has senselessly consumed a lot of the Governor's energy, saving the Governor's energy is undoubtedly good for everyone.

"I heard that the King of Heaven has promised us all to go home and have a look."

"Really?"

"Some people say that the Wing King is already willing to call King Qi a vassal, and King Qi will give us the Northwest, and there will be no war with King Qi in the future!"

"It doesn't matter if I can fight or not, I just want to take my daughter-in-law home and see. Go to the ancestral grave and burn the paper. ”

"At the very least, let's write home and see how things are going at home."

Various rumors began to circulate within the Taiping army.

In areas south of the Yangtze River, grassroots mobilization has also begun. It doesn't matter if those people really miss their relatives who became Taiping soldiers, and whether those people are really alive. At the very least, they should write to their loved ones to see if they are still alive and hope that they will be able to return home and be reunited.

Beginning in July, through the intelligence system of the Liberation Army, some of the letters reached the Taiping Army. It's really a beacon fire for three months, and the family letter is worth 10,000 dollars. There has been no news of my hometown for more than ten years, and once I saw the letters from my family, the excitement was indescribable. The letter said that the situation at home was divided, and there was food to eat. Older siblings, younger siblings, got married, had children, and children went to school. It's all about family trivialities, and it's all about the family's hope for reunion. The soldiers of the Taiping Army who saw the good news were naturally extremely happy in their hearts, and the Taiping Army who learned of the death of their relatives couldn't help but cry bitterly.

Shi Dakai and Lin Fengxiang were divided into the left and right prime ministers, and the two of them were implementing the internal system of the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at this time, Lin Fengxiang suddenly heard that Shi Dakai had ordered the execution of more than a dozen low-level officers of the Taiping Army, and he was shocked.

After the intelligence work of the Liberation Army was put into operation, all the armies came under considerable pressure. Lin Fengxiang actually didn't have any special fighting spirit, and the reason why he continued to insist was only his loyalty to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself. After nearly 20 years of struggle, the ideal of heaven on earth has been shattered, the ideal of fighting for hegemony in the world has been shattered, and the ideal of helping the world and saving the people has been shattered. The current Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was only a local power, and no one really believed that they could defeat Wei Ze. At most, they want to build separatist forces.

Lin Fengxiang worked as a fortune teller, and the fortune teller always had to pretend to learn the I Ching. The Book of Changes is a very important philosophical book in China, which talks about the rise and fall of the world and the changes of people. From any point of view, the Taiping army was in a downward direction. If you look at it from the perspective of a power leader, this is naturally the time to fight. But from the point of view of the brothers below, it is a responsible attitude for the brothers to let them look for a better future.

Shi Dakai succeeded in uniting the upper echelons of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and these brothers naturally hoped to fight hard. Therefore, Lin Fengxiang hopes to let the brothers choose for themselves, leaving those brothers who are willing to follow the Taiping Army firmly. Now Lin Fengxiang is undoubtedly in the minority. Lin Fengxiang didn't think that Shi Dakai was wrong with them, so he didn't have to argue with Shi Dakai to the bottom. Lin Fengxiang just didn't expect Shi Dakai to really kill the "breakaways".

Things have developed to this point, Lin Fengxiang put up with it for the time being after thinking about it.

"Shi Dakai's hand is quite decisive." The Luoyang Military Sub-district was responsible for cooperating with the work of the intelligence department, so the political commissar and commander of the military region participated in the discussion meeting. After the political commissar praised Shi Dakai, he then said with a smile: "But I think that to defeat the Taiping Army head-on, the 30,000 people in our Luoyang Military Division are basically enough." ”

For military personnel, intelligence operations are one thing they are very disgusted with. Intelligence may be useful when dealing with the enemy, but the military also has to deal with the enemy's pervasive intelligence attacks. Compared with the two, it is easier to defeat the other party simply by using pure military strength.

If the intelligence department wants to cooperate with the Luoyang Military Sub-district, the intelligence department naturally has to disclose some information to the military region. The person in charge said: "It is not the upper echelons of the Taiping Army who are in trouble now, our intelligence department feels that the trouble is the northwesterners who have newly joined the Taiping Army in recent years, and they are all local forces. The upper echelons of the Taiping army fought with us for the purpose of fighting for the world. On the other hand, it is the natives of the northwest, most of whom are local landlords. The purpose of joining the Taiping Army is also to find a backer for their family. This group of people is actually not easy to deal with. ”

"If you're worried about that, you're overthinking." The commander of the Luoyang Army Division said with a smile, "Let it be said through intelligence, if our Guangfu Army can't win the Taiping Army, then there is no need to talk about anything." If we can win the Taiping Army, and the landlords in the northwest still resolutely support the Taiping Army, then confiscate the land of the whole family. If these words are released, the landlords will weigh them. If the Taiping army loses the battle, for example, we will take Chang'an. These people will immediately scatter. In fact, it is not these local snakes that should really be worried, but those old brothers who have been following the Taiping Army. ”
