On the fifteenth day after the Xiwang couple returned to Tianjing, Tianjing ushered in the first snow of the year. Shicheng Jixue is one of the forty-eight views of Jinling, which originally refers to the snow scene of the ancient city wall from Qingliang Mountain to Zhengyu Pavilion, and Shicheng Jixue refers to the snow scene on Qingliang Mountain. Qingliang Mountain, the ancient name of Stone Mountain, Shishou Mountain, located in the west corner of Nanjing City, named after the Qingliang Temple, is the summer palace of the Southern Tang Dynasty Emperor. Before the Tang Dynasty, the Yangtze River approached the southwest foot of Qingliang Mountain, and the river water hit and patted, forming a cliff and becoming a natural barrier to prevent the northern enemy from crossing to the south. Emperor Wu Sun Quan established the stone city here, which was an important military town and was known as the "victory of the Six Dynasties". "Zhongfu Longpan, Stone Tiger", this tiger squatting on the bank of the river refers to the Qingliang Mountain in Nanjing known as the spring outing "Niushou Yanlan", the summer reward "Zhongfu Qingyun", the autumn "Qixia Shengjing", and the winter view of "Shicheng Jixue".

The snow is not big, except for the hanging snow on the eaves and treetop branches, there is no snow on the ground, and the snowflakes melt into the ground, making the bluestone pavement in Tianjing City wet, and the cold wind comes out more cold.

The main hall of the Heavenly King's Mansion is the Golden Dragon Hall is very lively, early this morning, the kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the princes and hundreds of officials gathered to participate in the New Year's Day worship ceremony. Since the promulgation of the calendar on the first day of the first month of the second year of Renzi, this is the second time that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has carried out the New Year's Day worship ceremony, the last time was the New Year's Day worship in Changsha, but that time the West Temple expedition, the West King did not participate.

On the first day of the first month of the second year of Renzi, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom promulgated the celestial calendar. This day is equivalent to December 14 in the first year of Qing Xianfeng, and Tuesday on February 3, 1852. Its beginning of spring, dry branches, and worship are all one day earlier. The promulgation of the celestial calendar is another obvious sign that the Taiping army is different from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, indicating that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom celestial calendar is the correct calendar, and the feudal dynasty is denied.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's celestial calendar was a four-season calendar created based on the solar terms determined by the sun's position on the ecliptic, replacing the lunisolar calendar that had been practiced in China since ancient times. Revolutionized Confucius's "time of recovery" of the ancient law and conservative life.

For this calendar, in history, Zeng Guofan once denounced this calendar in his essay on Yue: "When the summer is practiced, the training of the sages is stupid and arrogant, and it is even more Zhang Shixian, against the heavens and blasphemy, the crime is extremely evil, and it is the contradiction of thieves, which is unprecedented in ancient times." ”

But in the eyes of Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er, this calendar is not useless. From ancient times to the present, there are no more than three kinds of calendars, the solar calendar, the lunar calendar, and the lunisolar calendar. The solar calendar is also known as the solar calendar. The calendar year is a return year, and the current internationally used Gregorian calendar is a type of solar calendar, also known as the solar calendar. The lunar calendar is also known as the lunar calendar, or the lunar calendar, and its calendar month is a synodic month. The calendar year consists of 12 synodic months, with a major month of 30 days. 29 days in the month. The Islamic calendar is a type of lunar calendar; The average calendar year of the lunisolar calendar is a return year, and the calendar month is a synodic month, because the 12 synodic months are too different from the return year, so the lunisolar calendar has a leap month, so this calendar is consistent with the phase of the moon and the movement of the earth around the solar cycle.

The lunar calendar used in the Manchu Qing Dynasty is also known as the summer calendar, and the folk are called the lunar calendar. It uses a strict synodic cycle to determine the month, and uses the method of setting leap months to make the average length of the year similar to the return year, and has the nature of both lunar months and solar years, so it is essentially a lunisolar calendar.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's celestial calendar is a typical solar calendar. The celestial calendar clearly puts forward the tenet of "taking the agricultural time as the positive" and "convenient cultivation and farming", and completely abandons the mixed mix of the leap month lunar calendar. The calendar is divided into 12 solar terms in a year, with 30 and 31 days each year, and 366 days a year, with the solar terms placed at the beginning of the month and the middle of the month. In the 24 solar terms, except for the beginning of spring, Qingming, mangzhong, the beginning of autumn, cold dew, and heavy snow, which are 16 days, each of the other solar terms has 15 days.

The benefit of the calendar is the length of the year, which is as close as possible to the length of the return year. The synodic month was abolished and replaced by the solar term. Regardless of synodic hopes, leap months, or leap days, the method of "squeezing" is adopted, and every 40 years is a "squeeze". In the past 40 years, in addition to the "斡" year, the number of days and months per month, quarter, half a year, and each year has been quite neat, easy to remember, and easy to count. Unlike the "Lunar Calendar" and "Ge Calendar", the number of days per year, every six months, each quarter, and every month is inconsistent. The number of months per year is also inconsistent, sometimes occurring 13 months. In each month of the year, it has reached the greatest degree of consistency with the "24 solar terms", which is very beneficial to the guidance of agricultural production. The arrangement of the large and small months is regular. The 31st of the big month and the 30th of the small month. It is not as chaotic as the arrangement of the large and small months of the "Lunar Calendar" and "Ge Calendar", there is no regularity and no basis. At the same time, the calendar has eliminated the auspicious days and fierce days in the old calendar, and the calendar of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom tells the military and civilians that as long as you act right, act at any time, you will be lucky and prosperous.

The calendar is the calendar of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, a calendar that is completely different from the Manchu summer calendar, the day of the beginning of spring has also become the New Year's Day of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and every New Year's Day the Heavenly King has to lead the kings and hundreds of officials to worship and celebrate, which is also the Spring Festival of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The worship process is still long and complicated, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er are under the head of the East King, and they have completed the two-hour worship ceremony with the kings and officials, worshiping God prayers, thanking God texts, praising God poems, and Hong Tianwang's verses for a long time, Xiao Yungui feels that this is more sleep-inducing than listening to lengthy reports in later generations.

Finally, the service ended, a sumptuous meal was served, and the king and all the kings and officials celebrated the New Year's Day together.

In the ten days after returning to Tianjing, Xiao Yungui visited the princes of the North, the King of Wing, and the King of Yan, and I don't know what the considerations were. Xiao Yungui also faintly smelled a hint of conspiracy, it seems that several princes and prime ministers don't want to be in the capital, and it is best to stay away from the center.

But that's okay, I originally thought that the new policy in southern Jiangsu would encounter a lot of resistance, but now it seems that the whole Celestial Empire seems to support their own government in southern Jiangsu, Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er are relieved, and they have reached the first priority of returning to Beijing.

After several discussions, the kings also agreed to send troops to Huaishang, but for the suddenness of the campaign, the east hall, the north hall, and the wing hall were only secretly preparing soldiers and horses to cross the river, and did not make it clear to the hundred officials. Xiao Yungui and Rong Lu seemed to think the same, he suggested that the battle to the north should be launched on the day of the Spring Festival of the Manchu Xia calendar, but Rong Lu launched the Battle of Hengyang on the New Year's Day of the Tianli calendar. Xiao Yungui, who was now drinking and feasting in the Golden Dragon Palace, did not know that the battle of Hengyang had begun.

In fact, although the soldiers and horses of Hengyang are nominally subordinate to the West Palace, most of the Zeng Tianyang and He Zhenchuan who stayed at that time were deployed in the East Palace, but wherever there is a military Hengyang, Lai Hanying who obeys the orders of Changsha, Xiao Yungui has basically no control over the soldiers and horses over there.

After the military proposal to send troops to Huaishang was passed, Xiao Yungui took the second reassurance, believing that after sending troops to Huaishang, the pressure on the Qing army in southern Jiangsu would be greatly reduced. Although the West Hall Luo Outline Department also has the task of sending troops to Yangzhou and Suzhou, the West Hall is still acceptable. Sunan will have a long-term development stage next, and the soldiers and horses of the West Hall can also be freed up for rotation and reorganization.

As for Zhang Guoliang, He Chun and other captured generals of the Qing army, they were sentenced by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Tianjing, and several people whose hands were stained with the blood of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom soldiers and ordinary people were lit with sky lanterns. And Xiao Yungui, who was the initiator, didn't even have the heart to go to the execution ground to watch, in his opinion, the deaths of these people were no longer important.

Xiao Yungui and Hong Yun'er actually planned to go back to southern Jiangsu as soon as possible, but because New Year's Day was approaching, the two stayed in Tianjing for New Year's Day and waited until after New Year's Day to return to southern Jiangsu.

It was finally the end of the banquet. The important speeches made by the Heavenly King during the banquet were also automatically filtered out by the two, and Sect Master Hong just said something that was reluctant to be a hundred officials. Encourage everyone to fight to kill the demons.

However, after the banquet, the king of heaven issued an edict and promulgated the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System". Zhu Jiumei, the head of the Heavenly King's Mansion, said that Yanyan read out the content of this system in public: "...... Where the first army: the code is divided into two fields, the code is two in the criminal law, the two are in the valley, the two are in the two, the two are out, and they are all one and one pair. That is, the division commander and the brigade commander are also photographed. Those who are in charge are in charge, and those who are not in charge of their affairs are also praised. For all matters such as life and death of an army, the army commander will supervise the army in detail, and the army will be supervised in detail. The general system of the general system is detailed with generals, guards, commanders, inspectors, prime ministers, prime ministers, military advisers, military advisors play the king, the king of heaven decrees, and the military advisers obey. Meritorious ministers and other ministers eat Tianlu, and those who later return, each family in the navy has one person as a soldier, and if there is a police, the leader will lead him as a soldier, kill the enemy and catch thieves, and if there is nothing to do, the leader will supervise him as a farmer, and plough the land and serve the ......"

Because the new policy in southern Jiangsu was supported by the kings, Xiao Yungui didn't pay attention to the content of this "Tianchao Tianmu System" at all, he just paid attention to this Zhu Jiumei, this little lady has white skin and beautiful appearance, she smiled slightly, there are two beautiful dimples on both sides of her pretty face, and she is wearing the official uniform of Zhang Chaoyi, but there is a feeling of uniform temptation.

Shi Dakai on the side was a little absent-minded, he always felt that it was impossible for the world to bring rich money and food to the Celestial Empire, or the set of new policies in southern Jiangsu advocated by the West King, thinking of this, Shi Dakai peeked at the West King, but saw that the West King was "smiling" and "listening carefully", without the slightest frustration, Shi Da sighed happily, or the West King was calm and calm.

This "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" should have been promulgated at the beginning of the year in history, but because of Xiao Yungui, the occupation of Nanjing became the West Temple soldiers and horses instead of the Celestial Empire brigade, and the people of the Celestial Dynasty waited until August to set the capital Tianjing, and then a few months first made out the "People's Regulations", and then Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing felt that a great law should be promulgated to determine the affairs of the Heavenly Kingdom, so the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" was promulgated in the spring of 1854.

The main meaning of the "Heavenly Dynasty Tianmu System" is to advocate that all brothers and sisters in the kingdom of heaven are brothers and sisters, and everyone is equal. In the distribution of land, all the people in the world will work together, everywhere is uneven, and no one is not full of warmth. The distribution is based on households, regardless of gender, and is evenly distributed according to population and age. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also divided the land into nine grades according to the amount of output, and then distributed the good and bad to each household, and proposed the method of adjusting the abundance and famine to relieve the famine. The acquisition is still subject to the system of returning to the holy treasury. Every man in the world is not selfish, and every household has enough food to keep it, and the rest goes to the holy treasury.

At the same time, the "Tianchao Tianmu System" also clearly stipulates the township official system, the official rank system, the worship system, the conscription system, the female official system, the orphan and widow support system, and so on. For the first time, it also clearly stipulates the marriage system of the kingdom of heaven, explicitly abolishes marriage for sale, and advocates monogamy regardless of wealth and wealth, and at the same time stipulates that the age of marriage is 16 years old, and clarifies the system of marriage matching, and sets up a special marriage official to manage marriage.

Hearing this, Xiao Yungui couldn't help but look at Hong Yun'er beside him, and it happened that Hong Yun'er also looked at him, but with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth. Xiao Yungui was unhappy in his heart, he worked hard to make the men and women of heaven remarry, but he didn't expect to be exploited by Hong Yun'er, this little lady pouted Hong Xiuquan or prescribed the monogamous system, seeing Hong Yun'er's demonstrative smile, Xiao Yungui snorted lightly in his heart and said secretly: "Lao Tzu's new deal in southern Jiangsu is not governed by this bird system, you are a proud fart, see how I clean you up at night."
