Chapter Fifty-Nine: Anti-Guest-oriented
In the Cirrus Cloud Pavilion of Chengnan Academy, Xiao Yungui hummed and complained: "You, you really want to kill me, and kill me twice, once last night, once just now, you four-eyed sister, your conscience is very bad!" ”
Hong Yun'er bit her silver teeth and said calmly: "Yes, but I killed you not twice, but three times!" ”
"Okay, okay, you're really vicious, you must want to take revenge on the revenge I gave you a nickname in the past, don't you?" Xiao Yungui said angrily.
Hong Yun'er glanced at him and said, "I just recognized you, and after I knew that you were in Xiao Chaogui's body, I immediately stopped it, sister, am I such a stingy person?" I've told you everything, there's a reason why I killed you, and you listened to me. ”
Xiao Yungui frowned and said, "You want to kill me three times?" Once last night, once just now, when was the other time? ”
Hong Yun'er pouted and said: "It was in Jingtang Village, when you were held hostage, when I rescued you with a musket, I aimed at you at the beginning......
Xiao Yungui trembled and pointed at Hong Yun'er and said, "Okay, you, you are so vicious." ”
Hong Yun'er ignored Xiao Yungui, and pouted: "At that time, I didn't know it was you, you can't blame me, if it were you, you would have killed others to save your own life." ”
Xiao Yungui was shocked in his heart, he didn't expect that Hong Yun'er, who usually looks very good-hearted, actually said frankly that he would kill others in order to save his life, he didn't see it before, thinking that human nature is selfish, and when it comes to life and death, most people will still choose to save their lives. As Hong Yuner said, if it is herself, so what? Can you really sacrifice yourself fearlessly for the lives of others? Xiao Yungui was speechless, because he couldn't do it by asking himself, so he had no words to accuse Hong Yun'er.
Xiao Yungui said in a daze: "The one who can order you, the Queen of the West, to kill her husband must be the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, has this old boy long been displeased with the Western King possessed by his Heavenly Brother?" ”
Hong Yun'er slowly shook her head and said: "It's not the order of the King of Heaven, it's the King of the East who wants you to die...... and immediately told Yang Xiuqing what Yang Xiuqing told Hong Xuanjiao that night.
Xiao Yungui was slightly stunned when he first heard it, and then fell into deep thought, and after listening to the deep groan for a while, he shook his head and said: "This matter is not right, everything can't just look at the surface, I have the impression that Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother have always been one, Yang Xiuqing wants to kill Xiao Chaogui is a little unlikely, you must know that Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui have always been very close, and the dancing gods are all double reeds together, how could Yang Xiuqing easily cut off his arm?" You should also remember how the two of them worked together to elevate Hong Xiuquan, squeeze out Feng Yunshan, and attack the elders of the God Sect, Zeng and Wang. ”
Hong Yun'er also calmed down and pondered, when it came to playing conspiracy and power, she was always inferior to Xiao Yungui, a merry young master, because Xiao Yungui didn't put his mind on his studies, what he learned and did was his father's set of business, and he once said that what was taught in school was useless, and he would rather learn more about his father's way of behaving and making money. So playing these intrigues, Hong Yun'er really had to listen to Xiao Yungui, and at the moment, the two of them pieced together to recall the deeds of Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother seizing power.
Cigu Village in Guixian County was the first foothold of Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan in Guangxi, and it was the first place where the worship of God was first started. In April of the 24th year of Daoguang, Hong Xiuquan came to Cigu Village for the first time and stayed for half a year under the warm hospitality and earnest request of his uncle's cousin Wang Shengjun's family. Here he taught during the day and preached at night, and carried out activities among the Hakka people in Cigu, Changpai and nearby villages, solving problems for the people, and inscribed poems to rebuke the six black gods. In particular, Yu Zhixian rescued Wang Shengjun's son Wang Weizheng, and established his prestige among the people, not only did Wang Shengjun's whole family join the Church, but also in a short period of time, "more than 100 people took refuge and were baptized" in Guixian County, and Wang Weizheng became a faithful believer and activist of the Church of God. …,
Hong Xiuquan studied the doctrine in his hometown for a period of time, and then went to Guangzhou to "learn the Tao" from Luo Xiaoquan, and then entered Guizhou for the second time in July of the 27th year of Daoguang, and first went to the house of the king of Cigu in Guixian County. I heard that after several years of arduous missionary work, Feng Yunshan had established the Church of God in the Bauhinia Mountain area of Guiping, and had achieved remarkable results in developing the congregation. In September of this year, Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan chose Gaokeng to set up a general altar for Lu Liujia, and led Zeng Yunzheng, Lu Liu, Chen Li and others to expedition to Xiangzhou and destroy Ganwang Temple. By the beginning of November, Hong Xiuquan left Feng Yunshan again, and went to Cigu Village in Guixian County for the third time under the escort of the congregation Zeng Yujing, still taking Cigu Village as his main base.
At that time, although Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui were developed by Feng Yunshan to join the association, their names were still unknown until this time. It can be seen that Feng Yunshan, Cigu Wang, Zeng and others have a deep and close relationship with Hong Xiuquan, and their qualifications are older than Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Langgui in the Church of God, and their status at that time is higher than that of Yang and Xiao.
This situation changed greatly after Feng Yunshan was arrested and imprisoned in December of the 27th year of Daoguang. Hong Xiuquan returned to Guangdong in February of the following year to find another way to rescue him, and the Guangxi God Society was leaderless and facing a crisis. Some people in the association took advantage of the local folk form of surrender to pretend to be possessed by gods. On March 3 of this year, Yang Xiuqing pretended to be "Heavenly Father descended to earth" for the first time to calm the mood of the congregation, and launched a "science charcoal" with Wang Yukun and others to raise funds, bribe the government, and organize rescue. Feng Yunshan cooperated with the struggle outside the prison to defend himself and was released. Feng Yu returned to Bauhinia Mountain on the way to Bauhinia Mountain in May of this year, and then left Bauhinia Mountain to find Hong Xiuquan in Guangdong.
In Guangzhou, Hong Xiuquan wanted to take advantage of the Qing government's decree to allow missionary work, and the strategy of rescuing Feng Yunshan with the help of the church failed, and he came to Guangxi for the third time, and did not meet Feng Yunshan on the way back to Guangdong after being released from prison. On September 9 of this year, Xiao Qigui began to pretend to be a rumor of "Brother Tian's descent to earth". On October 24 of this year, Hong Xiuquan recognized Xiao Chaogui's right to speak for "Heavenly Brother Christ". And before that, Yang Xiuqing's "Heavenly Father God" endorsement right has been recognized. In this way, Yang and Xiao fabricated talismans in the names of "Heavenly Father" and "Heavenly Brother" to support Hong Xiuquan as "Allah", and were recognized by Hong Xiuquan as a "military master", surpassing anyone but Hong and Feng in the Divine Society and occupying a prominent position, so they used their magical powers, gradually eradicated dissidents, crowded out Feng Yunshan, overthrew Hong Xiuquan, and seized the leadership.
Feng Yunshan was arrested and released from prison and returned to Guangdong after being released from prison, and the actual struggle will be separated from the actual struggle for a year and a half, and when he came to Bauhinia Mountain again with Hong Xiuquan in May of the same year, the situation within the Church of God has changed greatly, and he and Hong Xiuquan have admitted the fait accompli like Hong Xiuquan, not only has the rank of military division gradually dropped to after Yang and Xiao, but also has been "hiding and sinking" and "avoiding auspiciousness" with Hong Xiuquan on the orders of "Brother Tian". At that time, there were not only those who fought with the "demon lords" and "demon descendants" within the Divine Sect, but the only ones who were older and had a certain strength to compete with Yang and Xiao and compete with the "lord" and competed to "support the lord" were the "Zhutang" who had a deep and close relationship with Hong Xiuquan, that is, some elders of the Divine Sect such as the Wang family of Guigu and the Zeng family in Guixian County.
After Xiao Chaogui first pretended to be "Brother Heavenly Descended" in Wushen September, he was also as good at exercising power as Yang Xiuqing. Together with Yang Xiuqing, he used the means of creating talismans and supporting "Allah" to gain Hong Xiuquan's trust, and then issued orders in the name of "Heavenly Father" and "Heavenly Brother" or "coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes" to coerce Hong Xiuquan to act according to their will. They asked Hong Xiuquan to leave Guixian three times and put it under their control from the influence of the "Zhutang", that is, the Wang family of Cigu, and let Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan, who entered Gui for the second time, live in seclusion and shelter, in fact, stand aside. Due to the advantages of the rumors of "Heavenly Father" and "Heavenly Brother" on behalf of Yang and Xiao Yan, they not only subdued the "demon host" and "demon descending" who did not believe in them, but also by cultivating the henchman Wei Zheng and co-opting Shi Dakai, who was fighting with the Cigu royal family, the overhead sect leader Hong Xiuquan isolated the Cigu royal family and easily defeated them in a few rounds. Since July of the Gengxu year, "Brother Tian" forced Hong Xiuquan not to dare to return to "Zhutang", and Wang Yuxiu, Wang Shengtong and others disappeared. Later, when the "Heavenly Brothers" blessed the old brothers with the religious ritual of "exaltation", they were not on the list. …,
Lu Liu, Chen Li, Zeng Yashun, Zeng Yunzheng, Zeng Yujing, Zeng Guanlan and other elders of the God Worship Sect, after Yang and Xiao took charge of the leadership of the God Cult, they were also in a bad situation, except for Lu Liu, who was imprisoned and killed, the rest of the people, especially a group of activists in Zeng Yuzhen's family, such as Zeng Yunzheng, who "passed on this situation from generation to generation, and had great skills", all disappeared. Zeng Yujing was persecuted by Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui, although he participated in the Jintian Uprising and went to Yong'an, he was arrested and killed by the government because he returned to Guiping to get his dependents. Zeng Yuzhen and his family did not participate in the Jintian Uprising at all, most of the Zeng clan quickly retreated, and even quit the worship of God, although some people participated in the Jintian Uprising with the army expedition, but they did not reuse and enfeng, indicating that this is indeed the Shili that Yang and Xiao have been working together to squeeze out and weaken Hong and Feng who originally relied on being loyal to them.
The two talked and talked about it, and roughly told the ins and outs of what they knew, Hong Yun'er stood up and quietly moved the lotus step, and said slowly with a soft chest: "The two kings of the east and west are indeed uncontrollable, it turns out that Hong Xiuquan's self-written, directed, and self-performed dancing god show was taken away by Yang and Xiao Qiao, but it surpassed Hong Xiuquan's performance more vividly, and Hong Xiuquan did not dare to deny the authenticity of his performance, so he had to stretch his neck and swallow the bitter fruit. But have you ever thought that Feng Yunshan died in the middle of a cannon in Quanzhou, which led to an imbalance in the power of the six kings of Shouyi? ”
Xiao Yungui nodded and said: "I have also thought about this matter, Hong and Feng and the two kings of the north and wing join forces, or they may be able to balance the two kings of the east and west, and Feng Yunshan is a person who is high-spirited and humble, and his role in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is very similar to the first prime minister of our dynasty, but unfortunately he died early, the bond in the middle was broken, Hong Xiuquan was unwilling to be controlled by others and naturally wanted to rearrange, so he wanted to kill Xiao Chaogui, the king of the west, and weaken the shili of Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, wanted to keep Xiao Chaogui. ”
Hong Yun'er shook her head, frowned slightly, and said: "What you said is not right, since after Feng Yunshan's death, Hong Xiuquan broke his arm, he must want to win over the West King Xiao Chaogui to confront the East King, why kill the West King?" He was afraid that it would be too late to win over Xiao Chaogui. ”
Xiao Yungui scratched his head with a bitter face and said, "Damn, there may be anything, but no matter what, one of them always wants me to die." Then suddenly his eyes lit up and he said in surprise: "Four-eyed sister, you are right, Hong Xiuquan wants to win me over but is hindered by the king of the east, for fear of conflict with the king of the east, and the king of the east is worried that Xiao Chaogui will lean towards the king of heaven, so both of them want me to die, it seems that I am certain to die, but why don't I turn against the guest?" ”
Hong Yun'er said strangely: "Why is it mainly anti-guest? ”
Xiao Yungui stood up with a smile and looked at Changsha City in the distance and said: "At this time, the Chenzhou Brigade has not arrived, I have Changsha City and a cadre of soldiers and horses, I will not take refuge in either of them, nor will I be estranged, I will achieve the third shili in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, so that the King of Heaven and the King of the East have scruples, and they will in turn win over me, and they will not all want me to die!" ”
