Wang Qiang returned to the Special Administrative Region and "confined" himself again. Tian Jingming and Shang Dayong were relieved to see Wang Qiang's safe return, and after hearing Wang Qiang's idea of founding the "Taiping Sect", they were even more excited and expressed their willingness to be loyal. Wang Qiang told Gu Yanwu and the three brothers of the Yan family about the founding of the religion, and several people also agreed and expressed their willingness to follow Wang Qiang. Wang Qiang secretly convened several core members to hold a meeting in the palace for three consecutive days to study the matter of the creation of the religion, supplement and improve the overall plan, form a set of rigorous plans, and then start preparations separately.

On this day, Xiaoshanzi secretly took Gao Gonggong and Jiang Yuquan, who lived in the Xishan house, back to the mansion, and that night Wang Qiang had dinner and wandered to find Jiang Yuquan, he felt that he should listen to Jiang Yuquan's opinion on the matter of founding the religion, this person is experienced in power struggles, although he speaks straightly, but the opinions put forward are often pertinent and insightful. Wang Qiang entered Jiang Yuquan's room, and Jiang Yuquan was crooked on the kang with his eyes closed. I haven't seen him for more than a year, Jiang Yuquan has become more and more old, his beard is white, and his expression is haggard, Wang Qiang thinks that this Jiang Gonggong is disabled, and he can't show his face, and he lives in a house in Xishan secretly, which is actually the same as being confined, which is worse than his own situation in Tacheng, and he is also very pity in his heart. He saluted Jiang Yuquan and said, "Father-in-law Jiang, you have always been well, Wang Qiang sees that you are here." ”

Jiang Yuquan raised his eyes and looked at Wang Qiang in surprise, and suddenly burst into laughter, saying, "Quack, good boy!" What a golden cicada plan to get out of the shell, there is a scheming and a city government, our family really didn't misunderstand you! Quack quack. ”

Wang Qiang sat down by himself and said with a smile: "Hehe, how can I deceive your old man." ”

"Yes, but what you did was much more than I expected. At the beginning, I heard that you broke the Qing army in Jinzhou, and I felt that you didn't learn the lesson of the last time, and you were still working hard for Chongzhen Xiao'er, I was afraid that you would be in a catastrophe, and then I heard that you fell off the horse, unconscious, and really thought that your kid was calculated by the Qing people, and I didn't value it for you. It turns out that your kid deceived Chongzhen by deceiving himself, and he also deceived the people of the whole world, and he has not shown his feet for such a long time, but this Tao Hui kung fu is also rare. You kid really has two hits. This time, you are out of Chongzhen's control, I don't know what to do next? Jiang Yuquan asked.

Wang Qiang said respectfully: "Oh, I came to ask my father-in-law for advice on this matter. Then Wang Qiang explained in detail the idea of founding the Taiping Sect.

Jiang Yuquan listened, nodded for a while, shook his head for a while, closed his eyes and pondered for a while, but his cloudy eyes gradually released brilliance. After Wang Qiang finished speaking, Jiang Yuquan stared at him silently before he asked in a deep voice, "Where did you get these ideas?" ”

Wang Qiang pointed to his head and smiled: "I got it from here, I hid in the small courtyard all day long, looking at the four directions, and I came up with such an idea." ”

Jiang Yuquan said with a smile: "Ho ho, you are so good at thinking, I didn't expect you to have such lofty ambitions, but it's a pity that you are a eunuch, otherwise you can go farther than nine thousand years old." ”

"Oh?"

"When the 9,000-year-old was in power, although the court was chaotic, the foundation was still there, and the people's hearts still existed. Now that the foundation of the Ming court is rotten, the people's hearts are lost, and the world is already in chaos, it is a great opportunity to rise up and become a hero. However, you are a eunuch, after all, it is not suitable to be the co-master of the world, and you always have to rely on others to command the world, at most it is a 'nine thousand years old', this is a dead knot, it is destined by God. Jiang Yuquan said silently.

"Is there anything else wrong with that?" Wang Qiang asked.

"And, of course!" Jiang Yuquan raised his eyebrows, and then said: "Although your idea is good, there are still many difficulties in implementing it. Have you ever thought about it, what do you rely on to make the people of the world follow you loyally? Although these people agree to follow you now, they are all your old subordinates, and they have received great favors from you, and I am afraid that there will be more elements of repaying the favor in the middle. Although you have some skills and have done a few great things, you are not enough to convince the public after all, you can't compare to Li Chuang's prestige skills! In addition to these people now, why do heroes and heroes from all walks of life follow you, do you really think that you can make everyone sell your life with a few slogans, these slogans will also be shouted by others, which is not new. Even now these people with you may not be so loyal, the monarch and the minister are separated, there is a world of difference, who doesn't want to be an emperor? Why should you be the one? ”

Jiang Yuquan's words came from the bottom of his heart, and Wang Qiang couldn't help but be convinced, and he asked respectfully: "That is the case, can the father-in-law have any good remedy to resolve it?" May my father-in-law teach me. ”

Jiang Yuquan said proudly: "Hehe! Although there are many difficulties, it is not difficult to solve. The first is to build faith. If you have to find a way to convince others that you are the co-master of the world authorized by God, you will definitely be able to become the future emperor, and only by following you can you have a future, so that you can become a prince and enjoy wealth. The kings of all dynasties have called themselves to be carried by heaven and represent the way of heaven, and this is what the emperor means by calling himself the Son of Heaven. The rebels of the past dynasties also said that they were doing the right thing for heaven, that is, when they were 9,000 years old, they let all over the country repair their ancestral halls, and the same is true of the praise in the above table. Only by believing in the tree can others follow you with all their hearts and die for you. ”

Wang Qiang nodded silently, he understood what Jiang Yuquan meant, that is, to engage in some superstitions, personality cults and the like, so that everyone would die for themselves.

"The second is to stand up. A ruler must not be soft-hearted. For those who oppose you and betray you, you must be ruthless, and for those who are loyal to you, reward and reuse, so that the people will fear you and dare not rebel, so that you can order and prohibit and exercise power freely. Everyone is like this, think about it, Chongzhen Xiaoer is just a mediocre and incompetent person, so why are you afraid of him to death, just because your little life is in his hands, your life and death, honor and disgrace are in his thoughts, he has this right! Of course, he is suspicious and indiscriminately kills loyal ministers, but you have to be careful to avoid it. Jiang Yuquan said.

Wang Qiang also thinks so.

"The third is to centralize power. Power is a good thing, everyone wants to get a little more, but it's easy to delegate power, but it's hard to take it back, so you have to control it firmly. In the early days of creation, the world was chaotic, there were many variables, people's hearts were unpredictable, and the power must not be left behind. In addition, the power given to the people under your command should be dispersed and balanced, so that they can keep each other in check, and no one will be able to challenge you. ”

Wang Qiang nodded in agreement.

Jiang Yuquan continued: "With the above three articles, you can basically control the situation and control the people. In addition, you should be kind to your subordinates, and you should spread your wings, and it is best to build a force that is loyal only to you, and rely on them to help you keep a firm eye on the others. ”

Wang Qiang didn't agree with this suggestion, didn't he ask himself to establish an organization similar to Dongchang, Dongchang is now notorious and hated by the world, but he considered that Jiang Yuquan was the leader of Dongchang in the past, so he didn't object, and nodded.

Jiang Yuquan's words made Wang Qiang think more deeply, and he compared Jiang Gonggong's words with his own plan for founding the religion one by one, and he already had a plan to adjust it in his heart. He got up and said deeply at Jiang Yuquan: "My father-in-law's words of gold and jade have been taught in the future, and I will ask my father-in-law to remind me more in the future to help the younger generations achieve a great cause, and he will not forget his father-in-law's great kindness." ”

"Quack quack, good boy, if you really become emperor one day, don't forget to erect a quick monument for me, quack quack." Jiang Yuquan smiled proudly.

After saying goodbye to Father-in-law Jiang, Wang Qiang took a walk in the courtyard, thinking about Father-in-law Jiang's opinion, especially how to build a letter This is quite difficult, he has no outstanding skills, and it is not easy to convince everyone sincerely. To borrow from the experience of the ancients, methods such as using the belly of a fish to make a strip of cloth or a song told by a child, or finding a fortune teller to draw a lot, are too old-fashioned to be believed. If there is anything different about yourself, it should be that you have an understanding of the later direction of history, but when did these historical events happen? Will it happen as you know it? I don't know. What year did Li Zicheng enter Beijing? The year in which the Manchu Qing Dynasty entered Beijing, I don't remember it at all. Wang Qiang looked up at the stars in the sky, and the electric light flashed in his mind, and he remembered that he had read an article called "Jiashen Three Hundred Years Sacrifice", which seemed to be written by the chairman (in fact, it was written by Mr. Guo Moruo, our protagonist does not learn and has no skills, so it is confused), this article is said that Li Zicheng was proud and complacent after entering Beijing, and made mistakes, so that he lost the country, and his old man wrote this article to educate his subordinates, after the liberation of the country, we must guard against arrogance and rashness, and we cannot learn from Li Zicheng. That's right! Li Zicheng entered Beijing in the year of Jiashen, I don't know which month it is, Li Zicheng was also defeated by the Manchus in this year, and Wu Sangui was also reversed this year. Thinking of these, Wang Qiang's eyes lit up, there is! There is a way to build a letter! He returned to the inner room and looked for books on the calendar, and the year of Jiashen corresponded to the seventeenth year of Chongzhen! Wang Qiang was shocked: "Fuck! It's next year, the chaos is coming, I'm still grinding here, I only have a year to prepare, I have to hurry, otherwise it's too late! ”
