The grievance conference was not Xiao Yungui's whim, as early as when Liuyang Township was competing to join the Taiping Army with high spirits, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yuner discussed this issue.

At that time, Liuyang was plundered by the defeated Qing army, and after the news came, the Liuyang local regimental training recruited by Luo Raodian broke out with amazing anger. At that time, many of them were already in the Taiping army, but they did not perform very well, or they were just for their lives, and they were lazy in their daily drills and building barracks, and they even did not work hard. But after the refugees in Liuyang entered the city and brought the news that their hometown was slaughtered by the Qing army to their children, these Liuyang villagers seemed to be a different person, and their enthusiasm and anger even surpassed that of some old brothers in Guangxi.

At that time, Xiao Yungui was very surprised by these changes in Xiangyong, but Hong Yuner said that this was a normal reaction after the knife cut the meat. The two talked about this matter all night, and Hong Yuner said a lot of history, all of which happened after the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from Tongzhi Zhongxing to the founding of New China. In particular, Hong Yuner compared the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with the success of the establishment of New China, and the two found a problem, that is, another important reason for the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the collapse of faith in the later period, especially after the capital Tianjing, the leadership of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom became more and more distant from the belief in the original uprising.

It has to be said that the worship of God preached a kind of simple egalitarianism, and Hong Xiuquan spread the concept of Christian doctrine that all men are created equal for the first time, and at the beginning of the uprising, everyone was a brother and a woman was a sister, and everyone fought together to build a small paradise with land and farming, clothes and clothes, and wealth. But after arriving in Tianjing, the upper class enjoyed privileges, even more corrupt and absurd feudal privileges than the Manchus, and gradually lost their original beliefs. However, the founders of New China were able to maintain a firm faith, even during the most difficult period of the Long March, they also endured the same hardships as ordinary soldiers, and they were able to persevere in hardship and simplicity, and it was faith that supported them until the victory of Zuihou.

At the same time, they infect those around them with this way of teaching and doing, and they find a shortcut that can quickly make people understand why they are fighting, and that is the grievance conference.

China has never lacked capable people from ancient times to the present, and the people have not lacked the style of hardship and hard work, but what they lack is a kind of national soul!

Hong Yuner said a famous sentence of Mr. Lu Xun, "Only the soul of the people is worth precious, and only when it is carried forward can China make real progress." But Mr. Lu Xun was a literati during the Republic of China, when the Manchu Qing Dynasty had fallen and the people's soul was awakening, but now it was still the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty, and after being castrated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty for nearly two hundred years, the people had no people's soul at all.

Just like Liuyang Xiangyong, only those who have really been persecuted by the Manchus will have the consciousness of trouble. Even the Taiping Army that came out of Guangxi was the same, and it broke out after enduring years of oppression.

At this point, Xiao Yungui agreed, if the Manchu Qing Dynasty took some gentle measures, the people would endure it silently. How can we awaken the souls of the people? The two discussed all night, but there was no way. The reason is very simple, the vast majority of the people at this time are illiterate, they believe in the gods and Buddhas, they are in awe of the divine right granted by God, and they don't even know what equality is, everyone is a walking corpse without real faith, and this state even lasted until the Republic of China. Mr. Lu Xun studied medicine at first, but later he found that what Chinese people need to be healed is not the body, but their soul, and people without a soul cannot shake off the hat of the sick man of East Asia no matter what. Therefore, Lu Xun abandoned medicine and became a scholar, and launched a huge new cultural movement with many literati of the Republic of China, hoping to use cultural education to awaken the soul of the Chinese people.

Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er both know very well that with the current situation, it is impossible to carry out any new cultural movement, and there is no such foundation at all. But the God-worshipping model is the only one that can be used at the moment. Today's people would rather believe in some foolish and nonsensical words than listen to your great truths. Hong Xiuquan is well aware of the key to this way, so he has changed Christianity, implanted these things into the theory of Taoism, gods and ghosts, and turned God the Father into a god that existed in ancient China, and only then would others believe it. Hong Xiuquan seems to have to do this at this time, only in this way can he have the power to lead the people, have the reason for the people to obey, and have a Taiping army that regards death as home.

With the deepening of their understanding of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er seem to have begun to change some of their misunderstandings about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the past, not because they wanted to incite the people to rebel with the so-called cult, but because the objective situation allowed them to mobilize the people only with their teachings. But their own limitations caused the later failure. If the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom succeeds, then it seems that this God-worshipping religion will not be called a cult.

Zuihou and the two of them discussed a solution that was not a solution, that is, to use the People's Liberation Army's grievance meeting to speed up the epiphany of religious conversion, so that the military and civilians could feel the pain of their skin, and let them know that they were fighting for themselves and their own interests. As for what God is, he is just a tool, or an unattainable god, just like the vast majority of the millions of revolutionary martyrs who died on the road to the founding of New China have never read Das Kapital, and even most of them are illiterate, but this does not prevent them from becoming strong communist fighters who are not afraid of death.

The worship of God is a very haode carrier, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er can make good use of this carrier, although Hong Xiuquan's seemingly absurd doctrine is not very complete, but this doctrine already has all the foundations for mobilizing the people. As faith guides, all they have to do is the question of how to guide and navigate the doctrine.

Although Xiao Yungui is only the king of the West at this moment, and he has not really mastered the military power and religious power, it seems that he can make some changes and foreshadowing methods before this, and at the same time, in this way, maybe the two of them can hold more power.

So the two of them decided to start their experiment at the right time and in the right place. Right now in Hengzhou, the Taiping army continues to replenish the soldiers damaged in the battle, and it is far away from Changsha, without the interference of Sect Master Hong and Yang Tianfu, Xiao Yungui began his attempt.

Xiao Yungui doesn't think this is some kind of cult, to put it mildly, it's not like this, others still don't believe you.

That night, Xiao Yungui summoned the generals and military officers to officially start the arrangement of the grievance meeting. According to what Hong Yun'er told him, he told the generals and officials several points of the grievance meeting. The first is to set up a model of suffering, by letting the veterans recall their own experience of suffering, to understand the darkness and cruelty of the Manchu exploitation and oppression, and it is the Manchu court and the Qing army that maintain this dark society, so as to stimulate the impulse of the soldiers to overthrow the Manchu Qing and resolutely devote themselves to the battle to establish a beautiful Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Xiao Yungui is not worried about this, there are many such examples among the old brothers in Guangxi and Liuyang Xiangyong, and they catch a lot of them, and they don't worry that no one will pick the lead and say it first, once someone starts to say it, the captive soldiers will also be slowly infected and begin to join in. Especially the Liuyang Xiangyong, they used to be trained by the Qing army, and their encounters can resonate more with the Qing prisoners.

The second is that the various armies will hold a meeting to complain about their grievances, or they will not hold it, and once it is opened, it will be successful. Xiao Yungui asked the commanders and commanders of all armies to make full preparations first, and first make a final account with the backbone of the army, so that the atmosphere would not be able to come out at that time, but it would be bad.

zuihou is collective crying, and collective crying is the most touching climax of the grievance complaining movement, and its importance has almost reached the level of "no crying, no spirit", "once crying, you will be spiritual". At this time, the vast majority of people in the Taiping Army were born in poverty, so the experience of suffering a person can easily cause strong resonance among the vast majority of people, and zuihou achieves a shocking group emotional release that touches the soul.

After the explanation, Xiao Yungui said meaningfully: "This grievance meeting is the first initiative, if it can be done, the credit is greater than the ten Xiangjiang victory, all the brothers must be in good spirits to deal with it, when the king will participate in the grievance meeting of the various armies one by one, this king also has bitter water with everyone." "When the generals and officials of the army heard this, they all felt a pang in their hearts, and the king of the west wanted to participate in person, and everyone did not dare to take it lightly.

After the generals and officials left, Zuo Zongtang was still thinking, Xiao Yungui smiled faintly and said: "Sir, you can also convene the scholars in the city to complain about their grievances, and talk about the sad things about the ten years of hard study just to test the Bagu Wen, the people who really have the knowledge to be applied to the world can't sit in the official, and the Confucian Sinology of the scholars is imprisoned by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, these are the bitter waters of the readers." ”

Zuo Zongtang frowned and sighed lightly: "The King of the West can think of such a way to unite people's hearts, Zuo is really ashamed of himself, but the people of all dynasties want to be emperors, but I am afraid that the people will work together, King Xi, what a fierce beast you have released." ”

Xiao Yungui smiled faintly and said: "Xuanjiao and I said that Sage Kong seems to have said a word, well, what is not to teach the people to fight, it is to abandon it." What does the gentleman think he means by this? ”

Zuo Zongtang was stunned when he heard this, and he couldn't answer, not that he didn't know the meaning of this sentence, but that this sentence said that for thousands of years, the emperor was actually fooling the people by consolidating imperial power.

Xiao Yungui said slowly: "What Mr. is worried about is still far away, in fact, in my opinion, power can only be obtained by the support of everyone, not to mention that we have a sharp weapon in our hands that leads to this liliang, and this king is sure to be able to control it." Speaking of this, Xiao Yungui sighed lightly and said: "Sir, after overthrowing the Manchu Qing Dynasty in the future, our thousand-year-old country will also face the threat of foreign Yi, there are Rakshasa in the north, and Yingyi in the south, if the people don't know what to do, then even if we overthrow the Manchu Qing, we will be bullied by the foreign Yi in the end." ”

Zuo Zongtang's face tightened, and he nodded slowly: "Back then, Lin Gong (referring to Lin Zexu) also told me that in today's world, there are already many great powers, and the defeat at the hands of Yingyi ten years ago is just the beginning. ”

Xiao Yungui nodded heavily and said: "Yes, awakening the soul of the people is the first thing we have to do, and I also hope to reproduce the heroic style of the strong man back then. The king only hopes that this beginning will be opened by the hand of the king......"
