Regarding the rise of Taiping Dao, it is directly related to the current situation of the people at that time. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, disasters occurred frequently, the people were displaced, and their lives were unsustainable.
The people live in hardship, despair, helplessness, pessimism, called the heavens, called the earth is not spiritual, deep in their hearts, they urgently need a kind of spiritual sustenance, the struggle, the fate, unconsciously pinned on the ethereal gods, this is also a helpless choice, and Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao came into being, such as the rain from the sky, so that the people saw hope, so, the Taiping Dao, growing stronger, the people also flocked to it, to Zhang Jiao as a god.
Zhang Lu's Wudou Mi Sect is almost the same as Zhang Jiao's Taiping Dao, but there is an essential difference between the two, the Wudou Mi Sect is the integration of politics and religion, and the Taiping Dao is the integration of military and education.
Although they all spread doctrines and educate the people, Taiping Dao pays attention to the fighting nature, and always instills the oppression of the Han Dynasty and the rule and exploitation of the scholar class into the people, inspiring the people to resist and hate this unequal fate.
Although it was with the help of religion to 'brainwash' the people, Chen Qi urgently needed this kind of momentum to fight the enemy to the end without fear.
If the people are not afraid of death and can fight the enemy to the ground, then the hope of victory will be greatly enhanced.
For a long time, Chen Qi has not forgotten that at the beginning, tens of thousands of volunteers fought to the end against Huangfu Song's iron-blooded elite in Xiaquyang, and finally they were generous and tragic, and all of them committed suicide by jumping into the river.
This kind of momentum is the hope of victory, therefore, for the indoctrination of Taiping Dao, Chen Qi did not hesitate to vigorously build Taoist temples and Yizhuang, on the one hand, the poor people everywhere can be relieved, on the other hand, with the help of the propaganda of Taiping Dao, let more people join the righteous army, hand in hand, and fight the enemy to the end.
At the same time, the rebels are not limited to occupations, even if a businessman, a peddler pawn, or a doctor can do his best to contribute to the rebels.
Every town, every village, every once in a while, to organize doctrinal propaganda activities, for this reason, Chen Zhuo specially selected a lot of good singing and dancing articulate congregants to go down to give lectures to various places, in the past, Zhang Jiao's time, the propaganda of the Taiping Tao was carried out secretly, now, the entire northern land, in full swing.
"Young marshal, tell us what we people can do??" In his spare time, Chen Qi will occasionally walk the streets and alleys, sometimes condolences, sometimes patrolling, and sometimes explaining to everyone.
Joining the Taiping Dao is not the same as joining the Righteous Army, now the two are distinct, young and strong young men, ideological consciousness can keep up, this is naturally no problem, but, forty or fifty-year-old people, can join the Taiping Dao, but will never become the Righteous Army.
In the past, the rebels did not distinguish between men, women and children, and those who came did not refuse, but now, Chen Jiao's territory is also bigger, and his confidence is enough, naturally everything is on the right track, and people drag their families to the front line together, that kind of thing, Chen Jiao will never be able to do.
"Uncle, what do you do for a living?" Chen Cut was surrounded in the crowd, everyone looked at Chen Cut dumbly, Chen Cut sat on the ground with everyone, without the slightest shelf, and even mixed in the crowd, it was difficult for people to find out that he was the commander of the 200,000 rebel army.
"I'm a merchant on the streets." The old man replied with a frank face.
is old, still a merchant, the old man's body is quite hard, and his legs and feet are also dexterous, Chen Qi nodded, "I said boss, thank you for this old heart, I want to do things for Taiping Dao, there are too many things that can be done, for example, who has a beautiful girl who has not yet come out of the cabinet?" Which family is the rich and unkind, oppresses the good? Who wants to join the army? Whose gentleman is literate and hyphenation wants to teach... What do you think, isn't this a reason, there are bad places, there are bullies and ruffians who harm one side, as long as you tell our rebels, clean him up immediately, who has a beautiful girl who is willing to marry our rebels, is it also a good thing, only those who have the ability are recommended to us, and the villains with oil and water are handed over to us to clean up... In a word, as long as you keep an eye in the future, you can tell us anything in time. ”
The old man nodded, "Young marshal, I understand, in this way, there are too many things I can do." ”
"That is, in the future, we will set up a righteous village in every village and town, there will be a special person to stay, as soon as there is something, you can inform them in time, no matter how big or small, it is okay, whose family bullies people, whose money is not coming in the right way, whose children want to join the army, whose girls want to marry? Where there are horse teams, where there are suspicious bad guys..."
Although these people don't have to go into battle to kill the enemy, but their eyes, their ears, but they can timely understand all the movements in various places, which is also a valuable wealth, Chen cut in various places to set up Yizhuang, is to completely use these eyes and ears, to establish a monitoring network like an iron wall on the land of Youzhou, Jizhou.
All the people are soldiers, this idea was conceived by Chen Qi himself, because he himself is an out-and-out peasant, and peasants are everywhere, and the news of the peasants, properly used, is not inferior to those secret guards and detectives.
In addition to Yizhuang, Taoist temple, the righteous army in various places, have set up different sizes of canals, thirty-six squares, seventy-two canals, the entire northern land, everything is going on step by step, especially Yizhuang, under the propaganda and promotion of the righteous army, as soon as it was established, it played an amazing role.
Bullies, ruffians, this doesn't need to be detailed, one was found, one was eradicated, and people with suspicious deeds were arrested one after another, and even the secret guards sent by Cao Cao to Wei County to try to kidnap Xu Shu's mother were discovered by the people.
The people actually didn't understand anything, they didn't know that those people were here to kidnap Xu's mother, but the shopkeeper of the Feng Inn faintly felt that these people were weird, and they were not local accents, the innkeeper immediately told the news to Yizhuang, and Yizhuang then informed the Jinyi guard, and the secret guard quietly armed, and after some verification, it was quickly implemented.
More than 30 of the secret guards sent by Cao Cao came, and when they were finally arrested, a few of them ran away, but those people were caught by the people of Taiping Dao before they arrived the next day.
In fact, this is Guo Jia's idea, Guo Jia is a native of Yingchuan, he knows Xu Shu quite well, and he wanted to take Xu Shu's mother as a hostage and kidnap Xu Shu to Yanzhou by the way, but Guo Jia didn't expect that his plan would be destroyed by ordinary people.
Chen Jiao's Taiping Dao disciples, this is only the tip of the iceberg, and next, all the princes are destined to suffer. (To be continued.) )
