Chapter 4: Initial Entry (End)
Taiping Taoism, also known as Taiping Datongism in later generations, is a political viewpoint and ideological system that originated in the Daqing Dynasty period of modern China.
After absorbing some important doctrines in the Spring and Autumn Ram Studies of the late Ji Zhou period of the ancient Chinese Kingdom and the Taiping Qing Dynasty in the late years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, and combining the lessons and lessons of the Taiping Movement "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", which initially failed, the great Taipingist sage "Tiangui Hong" was originally compiled on a sea ship on the vast Taiping Ocean in 1867······
The Great Peaceful Taoism revolutionized the "Three Worlds Theory" of the Spring and Autumn Ram Studies, and proposed that through the three stages of "moderate prosperity", "promotion of peace" and "peace of life", it can be used to achieve the state of "Datong World" in which everyone loves and helps each other, every family lives and works in peace and contentment, there is no difference, and there is no war······
As of 2020, there are as many as 127 countries in the world that have established the idea of "Tiangui Hong" as the basic idea of Taipingism, and have formed a three-legged trend with 94 ancient royal and theocratic states and 114 capitalist mercantile countries.

"Yu Haoyang has traveled far away for more than 90 days."
"If the route map provided by the Westerner captives is correct, we should discover the coastline of the New World where the United States of America is located in the next few days······"
Due to the limitations of time and technology, even in the best captain's cabin on the Kolotilda, the kerosene lamps lit up were only a few points brighter than the torches normally used on the ship, and for Hong Tiangui, who had inherited the habits and sense of light, it still looked a little dim and dim.
He stood in front of the world's Pacific Route chart hanging with his hands, looking at this ocean map that was similar to the seven points in the world of Liu Mingtian Dynasty in his previous life, with a difference of three points, and silently considered his next action.
"Boom!" "Boom!" "Boom!"
At this time, the wooden door of the captain's room was tapped three times by a young man who had just officially entered the Peace Society for only a few days at the door, and whispered to the crack in the door.
"Honorable comrade of the head of the meeting."
"Mr. Arno Dorian has come to visit."
"Comrade Huang Han, let Mr. Dorian come in!"
Hearing that it was the well-known master assassin in the game in his previous life who was visiting, Hong Tiangui was not surprised, but calmly called out the name of the young man at the door and asked him to let him go.
"Crunch!"
"Bang!"
After the sound of doors opening and closing, Arno Dorian, who looked a little old, walked into the captain's room, took off his hat to Hong Tiangui, bowed slightly, and skillfully came to the table in the captain's room and sat down.
Hong Tiangui also turned around just right, and after returning the salute to the master assassin, he began to happily exchange some incomprehensible words such as "class", "revolution", and "freedom", and for a while, the atmosphere in the captain's room was very warm.
Looking at the acquaintance of the two, it is obvious that this is not the first time they have communicated.
In fact, even Hong Tiangui himself did not expect that the character in front of him, who appeared in the classic games of his previous life, and impressed people with his extraordinary skills and sharp assassinations, really appeared in reality, which would be of such great help to him and to the expansion and completion of the Taiping Doctrine thought.
Before meeting Arno Dorian, Hong Tiangui, who came across the border, inherited the red ideas of Liu Ming in his previous life, which transcended the entire era, and the ancient oriental philosophical wisdom from the jade bamboo slips of the Taiping Qing Lingshu, which was passed down from generation to generation, and created the basic theory of Taiping Taoism.
However, these theories are different from those of the Western humanities of the same era in this world.
After all, in this world, the Western ideas at this historical node are not as widespread as the modern spread of the Celestial Empire plane in Hong Tiangui's previous life.
For example, the "Taiping Rebellion" in this world was not seriously influenced by Western religions.
Hong Tiangui's old father in this world, Hong Xiuquan, is not the old Xiucai of the Celestial Dynasty in his previous life, and he is not carrying the name of the Lord of Hosts in the West, but a real Taoist heir, who revolted in the name of the "Haotian God" in the East.
Naturally, the original theories of Taipingism pioneered by Hong Tiangui cannot be directly applied to those Western civilized countries in this world, and even because of the lack of experience at the grassroots level, there are quite a few flaws in the current paper talk.
But the arrival of Arno Dorian, the Master Assassin, made up for these shortcomings.
Attracted by the theories of Taipingism, this elder of the ancient Assassin Order born in the Western Divine Generation, who personally participated in it when he was young and played a key role in the Gallic Revolution, was attracted by the theories of Taipingism, and in his exchanges with Hong Tiangui, he gave Hong Tiangui countless incomparably important revelations, and also made up for Hong Tiangui's own lack of many shortcomings caused by the lack of understanding of the grassroots of this era.
All these directly led to the relative perfection of Taipingism as soon as it was born, and later spread to Eastern and Western countries, where it was quickly accepted and recognized, allowing the Taipingist national group to develop and grow at an unimaginable speed······
"In other words, Lord Hong and your followers are trying to establish a settlement on the West Coast that practices Taipingism?"
After exchanging his understanding of Taipingism, Arno Dorian habitually took a sip of the oriental green tea on the table and asked in a low voice.
As the only guest on this ship who can rely on his own knowledge to understand some of the advanced parts of Hong Tiangui's thoughts, his current status and treatment have obviously improved a lot compared to when he was just rescued from the desert island and boarded the ship.
"Yes, my father's uprising in the Daqing Dynasty ended in failure because of the poison of faith."
"But I have inherited his ideals, and I believe that Taipingism will be able to create a truly beautiful country for people."
Hong Tiangui replied solemnly, his face full of the brilliance unique to a young idealist.
The two of them were able to sit together almost defenselessly and talk alone, naturally they each confessed some of their true identities to each other, and after establishing a certain amount of trust.
For example, Arno Dorian briefly told Hong Tiangui about the Western Transcendent Brotherhood organization behind him, and Hong Tiangui also told Dorian about his background as the son of the Great Rebel of the East.
"Yes, the afterglow of the gods is gone from us."
Facing the energetic young man in front of him, Arno Dorian couldn't help but think of the rebel of the Knights Templar he had seen in his youth after the Gallic Revolution, the short monarch who tried to subvert the divine right of Christ with the power of faith in both monarchy and civil power.
It's a pity that after holding out for 15 years, the heroic short monarch and the young man in front of him who made huge waves in the Eastern Empire also fell under the poison of faith.
"Your Excellency Hong, the power of faith is no longer in the hands of us mortals after the gods."
"The lessons of our ancestors, we should take them as a warning!"
He solemnly advised Hong Tiangui.
"However, with regard to the situation in the United States of America on the West Coast, I think I can help you a little bit."
Presumably anticipating the ship's imminent arrival on the shoreline of the New World, the old Master Assassin continued in a deep voice······
————————————
June 18, 1859, National Capitol Hall, Washington, D.C., capital of the United States of America.
"Congressman Abraham Lincoln, your claims are not worth mentioning!"
"Oh? Senator Jefferson Davis, is your cotton policy good? ”
······
In the halls of the National Assembly, Abraham Lincoln, a newly established Republican Congressman who had only been in existence for a few years, was arguing fiercely with veteran Democrat Jefferson Davis under the watchful eyes of countless prominent members of the United States of America Congress.
With the rapid development of modern industry, the two parties of the United States of America represented by the two of them, and the two regions of the north and south of the United States of America represented by the two of them, because of the dispute of interests, the contradictions have become increasingly serious.
In particular, in recent years, cotton resource interests, which have become more and more important, have even made dignitaries of the Democratic and Republican parties of the United States of America roar into the halls of Congress.
However, at a time when the political situation in the United States of America was precarious, the elite was divided into two factions and infighting, and the whole of America was about to be in turmoil, a secluded manor house only 20 kilometers away from the National Assembly Hall was full of lights.
Countless pale-faced handsome men and women danced gracefully in the dim and closed banquet hall by the light of countless candles.
"Joseph Hevis, look at the way it is, it seems that the damned conspiracy of you bloods is going to succeed again."
In the upper left corner of the banquet, the corner is incompatible with the surrounding red wine beauties and elegant atmosphere.
A big Texas man with his chest exposed and could vaguely see a large lump of chest hair there, took a rough bite of the leg of mutton in his hand, and said to a middle-aged gentleman in a black suit with an ancient and elegant temperament in front of him.
"The idiot-like Assassin Brotherhood, Templars, and blue-blooded magnates are no longer able to prevent the Civil War from coming."
"Now, tell me."
"You summoned me to convey some message to the werewolves, lichs, and dark sorcerers of the Sanctuary."
