Chapter 17: Attack on the Masses
Wang Feng thought that his mention was very reasonable, but he underestimated these people, Li Junliang smiled disdainfully: "You are a good mouthful, we have only conquered Nanjing, and we have not had time to investigate it closely, but the Qing Demon Xiangrong and the Qi Shan Department will arrive in a few days, at this very moment, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no Qing Demon and spies in the middle to make trouble, and you also know that the male and female camp system is to implement militarized management of the people, which can prevent an accident!"
In the same way, before the defeat of Beijing, our Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is far from being peaceful, and we must concentrate our manpower and material resources to make the most reasonable deployment in case of contingencies, so the sacred treasury system cannot be canceled. ”
Wang Feng asked rhetorically: "In history, the division between the north and the south is not in the minority, but I have not seen which dynasty or generation implemented the system of separate camps and sacred treasury for men and women, and according to what you said, if the Qing demon is not destroyed for a day, it will not be lifted for a day, if it is not destroyed for a hundred years, will the people suffer for several generations?" ”
Li Shouchun said without thinking: "What is the suffering of the people? The income is handed over, distributed according to need, and everyone has food and clothing, isn't this the same in the world? The establishment of the Holy Treasury by the King of Heaven is exactly what the ancients did not dare to think about, did not dare to do, and fully considered it for the people! ”
Ji Chengzi also added: "There is a difference between the ancient and the modern, how can the ancient set the present? Whether or not it still needs to be implemented can be judged by the king of the east according to the actual situation, in fact, these two systems are simple and easy to implement, and they are efficient, and they only need an order from the king of the east to save a lot of energy to prepare for war, and it is not better than the development of industry and commerce and even the taxation of the people that you proposed? It's not too much of a hassle! ”
Wang Feng looked around, everyone looked like they were taken for granted, including Yang Xiuqing also nodded slightly, and suddenly, a deep disappointment began to spread in his heart, and he found that he was not underestimating, but overestimating these people!
They come from the landless peasants, charcoal burners, miners, and other people living at the bottom of the society, and there are very few literate people, they have no experience and strategy in governing the country, and they do not want to build Nanjing well, so that the people of Nanjing can live and work in peace and contentment, highlight the great advantages of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom over the Qing court from the institutional and economic levels, and fundamentally disintegrate the rule of the Manchus, but they have a black eye, have no long-term plan, and govern the country by rough, barbaric, and simplest means!
Wang Feng still vaguely remembers that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom rejects intellectuals!
When Hong Xiuquan attacked Changsha, Zuo Zongtang lived in seclusion in Hunan, regarded himself as Zhuge Liang, saw the chaos of the government and government, the corruption of officialdom, the external bending and compromise, the internal looting was excessive, and riots broke out in various places, Zuo Zongtang, who had always taken the world as his own responsibility, was heartbroken, and he also failed in the imperial examination in his early years, and secretly had a dissatisfaction with the Qing court.
Hong Xiuquan's actions gave Zuo Zongtang a glimmer of hope, if he could overthrow the Manchu rule in one fell swoop and establish a clean, enlightened and hard-working Han regime, wouldn't it be a great fortune for the country?
Therefore, Zuo Zongtang secretly went to see Hong Xiuquan, although Hong Xiuquan showed a certain posture of a corporal of courtesy, but in Zuo Zongtang's view, this person has mediocre knowledge and is not enough to lead the overall situation.
However, Zuo Zongtang's military policy has rarely gained recognition and sympathy, especially in the treatment of traditional Confucian morality and culture, and the two sides have strict differences.
Hong Xiuquan once had a poem: Dare to call Confucius and Mengheng a demon, and the articles on history will be burned every day! How can this not push intellectuals to the Qing court?
In addition, there is another point, the lord of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom never divides, hidden troubles, the generals have not achieved great causes, but they are addicted to wine, and there are dozens of concubines and concubines, which also makes Zuo Zongtang feel cold, and finally finds an excuse and leaves.
At this time, Wang Feng was also completely disappointed with Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, a group of outbursts, even if the slogans were shouted, how to govern a country well? Just as Li Erhu worried, not only will he not die well, but he will also harm a large number of his brothers!
In Wang Feng's heart, there was a faint anger overflowing, and he immediately said in a deep voice: "Since everyone intends to promote the system of separate camps for men and women and the holy treasury in Nanjing, Wang Feng has nothing to say, but the so-called don't do to others what you don't want, may I ask if the kings also want men and women to live separately and confiscate the family property?" ”
As soon as these words came out, there was silence in the hall for a moment, Yang Xiuqing's face was extremely ugly, and the implementation of these two systems among the kings was afraid that someone would make him rebel that day, not to mention that he traveled thousands of miles to Nanjing, all the way was brocade clothes and jade food, accompanied by concubines, and he was used to living a good life, how could he turn back?
"Bang!" Huang Weijiang slapped the table and said angrily: "Wang Feng, you are so bold, who established this Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?" Isn't it natural for the kings to work hard and make great achievements, and to take a little more? Taking a step back, the king of the east is the incarnation of the Heavenly Father, the king of heaven is the second son of the heavenly father, and the king of the north is the brother of the king of heaven. The fool only has the share of Li Nong, I think you are going to rebel! ”
"Forget it, forget it!" Yang Xiuqing waved his hand: "Wang Feng's thinking has not been completely reformed, and it is not surprising that he has such rebellious words, after all, it has only been two days, you don't discriminate against him, you should care more, help him more, and give him some more time." ”
Saying that, Yang Xiuqing turned his head and said seriously: "Wang Feng, you are very dangerous now, but this king will give you a chance, in the area you are responsible for, you will personally handle the entry of men and women camps and private property into the holy treasury, you will settle the men, the women will be handed over to Shui Jiao, and the property will be handed over to Chen Yucheng, the canonical holy grain of the Fourth Left Army."
Three days later, the king of heaven will come to Tianjing, in order to avoid any accidents disturbing the holy car, so it must be completed within three days, remember, to fully mobilize, clarify the truth, so that the people of Nanjing understand and cooperate with us, not to be one, try not to use coercive means, I hope the three of you can work together to do this well, and also, you will not be full of Nanjing in the future, from today onwards, Nanjing will be renamed Tianjing. ”
Wang Feng no longer had the strength to be angry, and he even had the urge to break away from the Taiping Army, but reason told him that even if such an idea made people see the slightest, not only would he die, it would bring trouble to Su Sanniang, and it would also harm the more than 2,000 Qing soldiers under him!
'Anyway, Han Xin still has the humiliation of his crotch, what can I do if I endure it for a while? I will give an account of what I have done to the people of Nanjing today in the future, but Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, if you live long enough, I will personally send you to the judgment seat in the future! Wang Feng took a deep breath, put on an expression of not understanding but willing to obey the order, stood up, and solemnly bowed: "Subordinates receive orders!" ”
Yang Xiuqing showed a look of satisfaction, nodded and said, "Hmm~~ Go!" ”
"Everyone, Wang Feng will go first!" Wang Feng arched his hand in all directions, and then strode away.
