Zhang Jiao is indeed dead, and Zhang's manor is also in chaos.

At that time, the people of the Zhang family did not know that Zhang Liang was also dead, but they only knew that Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao died together at that time, leaving a bunch of old and weak women and children with no one in charge and were in chaos.

The bodies of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao were placed in the lobby, and a bunch of people were crying and shouting around, not even knowing what to do next.

The situation was already quite chaotic, and after the influx of a large number of believers, the situation became even more chaotic.

Seeing Zhang Jiao's corpse, some believers cried loudly, some believers directly collapsed on the ground and didn't know what to do, some widened their eyes and couldn't believe it, and even more manic went crazy directly, tearing their faces fiercely, shouting words like "impossible, impossible".

But their actions in this way could not undo Zhang Jiao's death, and the grief-stricken believers were overwhelmed and unwilling to leave, and more and more people gathered around Zhang Jiao's body.

As the number of people grew, there was even a stampede in Zhang Jiao's mansion, and many believers were trampled to death.

In the midst of the chaos, there is never a single person who has enough prestige to stand up and appease people, and such a person does not exist.

Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao are both dead, and most of Zhang Jiao's outstanding disciples have gone out to become Qu Shuai in various places, and they are preparing for the uprising in two months, and they did not stay by Zhang Jiao's side.

The disciples around Zhang Jiao did not have an existence with extremely high prestige who could stand up and appease people's hearts.

So in the chaos after the death of Zhang Jiao and Zhang Bao, the only thing that the most sober person could do was to send someone to Xiaquyang to find Zhang Liang to come back and preside over the overall situation, and the chaos in Julu was almost uncontrollable.

The minimum sanity that everyone can maintain is to be prepared to wait for Zhang Liang to come back to preside over the overall situation and investigate the truth of the matter.

But this minimum sanity disappeared without a trace after the news that Zhang Liang had been killed came from Xiaquyang.

The believers of the Taiping Dao were in great confusion and panic, and they gave birth to the anger of renunciation.

Who was it, who killed Zhang Jiao and his brothers?

The situation, which had been minimally controlled, suddenly collapsed.

Some people say that they want to go to the county government to seek justice, let the county order solve this matter, and find out the real culprit, and some people say that they want to go to the county government to find the county Taishou to solve this matter and find out the real culprit.

But that's not how many people see it.

They think that Zhang Jiao was killed by someone, so they have to go directly to the person who killed Zhang Jiao to seek justice.

Who killed Zhang Jiao?

Some people think that Zhang Jiao's opponents, that is, those who do not believe in Taiping Dao, did it.

Some people think that it was the county magistrate or the county guard, because they may feel that Zhang Jiao's limelight is too big and affects their power.

At this time, the situation is already very wrong, and the believers who have lost the great sage and good teacher are at a crossroads of confusion and anger, and at this time they need a wise person to tell them that this matter should be treated calmly and find the truth.

But there is no such person.

Out of various considerations, out of various personal considerations, the people with status in the local Taiping Dao organization began to take action, and they acted according to their own ideas and interests, and did what was in their interests.

Because they all knew that Zhang Jiao was preparing to rebel.

And at this stall, Zhang Jiao was killed, Zhang Liang and Zhang Bao were also dead, people who don't know the inside story will think it's a vendetta, but those who know the inside story will only feel a chill - could it be that the rebellion has been leaked?

Has anyone known about this and is taking action?

Who is it?

Did the Luoyang Imperial Court do it?

Zhang Jiao's death was regarded by them as a symbol of the imperial court's imminent attack on them, and Zhang Jiao's death showed that they were not opponents of the imperial court at all.

So, if you don't run now, when?

Some of the terrified defeatists didn't have time to think before they left Julu overnight with Xiaosoft and Jiaxiao, and ran away to Youzhou in the north or the Central Plains in the south, preparing to take refuge in Liaodong or Jiangnan to avoid this chaotic situation.

The farther away the place, the safer it is, and the farther you run, the better the chance of surviving, which is what they believe.

Because of Zhang Jiao's death, this group of people accounted for about 60 or 70 percent of the local Taiping Dao cadres, which can show that Zhang Jiao's death really had a very huge deterrent effect on them.

And as time went by, in the entire land of Hebei, the main cadre-level cultists in Taiping Dao who learned about this matter felt their hearts soaring and cold, thinking that their plot had been known by the imperial court, and Zhang Jiao's death was proof of this.

Most of the Taiping Dao leaders were not brave and fearless people, and when they learned of Zhang Jiao's death, they generally believed that there was no hope for Taiping Dao, so they took their families overnight and prepared to go to a safe place to avoid the pursuit of the imperial court.

Without the guidance of these leaders, ordinary believers were confused and at a loss, and did not know what to do next, and in many places the Taiping Dao organization directly collapsed and ceased to exist.

But there are others who see it as a great opportunity.

This group of people is a radical in the Taiping Dao, a hawk, a martial arts faction, their dissatisfaction with the Han Empire has been deeply rooted in the bone marrow, agree with Zhang Jiao's theory of "the sky is dead and the yellow sky should stand", think that the rebellion has a great chance of winning, and are willing to follow Zhang Jiao to rebel.

Now although Zhang Jiao is dead, they are still alive.

So, shouldn't they fight back for the sake of their beloved great sages?

The lackeys of the court killed the great sages and good teachers, then we should fight back and let the lackeys of the court know that we are powerful!

Coincidentally, at this moment, the cowardly people had already fled, leaving room for the remaining courageous believers to play, so from the 11th day of the first month of the seventh year of Guanghe, some Taiping Dao cadres began to do propaganda work in the chaos.

They preached that they already knew who the person who killed the great sage and good teacher was, that is, the imperial court, the son of Han Tianzi in Luoyang.

And they officially announced the plan for the national uprising planned by Zhang Jiao before his death, and further publicized the slogan "The sky is dead, the yellow sky should stand".

They thought that the imperial court had already known about their plan to start an incident, so they attacked first and killed the great sage and teacher Zhang Jiao by despicable means.

Although the great sages and good teachers have given everything and sacrificed for their common cause of Taiping, their ideal of establishing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom must not be abandoned.

The Great Sage and Mentor have sacrificed for their well-being, and his will must not be abandoned, and to do so would be a betrayal of the Great Virtuous Teacher, a shameful act, a punishment from heaven, and absolutely inconsistent with the teachings of the Taiping Dao.

They further declared that it was necessary for the Taiping Daoists to avenge the great sages and good teachers, and to continue to fight for the ideals of the Taiping Dao for so many years.

So, rebel!

The Taiping Dao organizers who stayed behind and chose to fight may not have military talents, but in terms of propaganda ability, they are all very good, they are very good propaganda talents, and in this regard, the guys in the local government are far behind.

The propaganda of this part of the hawkish cadres just met the needs of the sad and confused Taiping Taoists after Zhang Jiao's death.

The devout congregational devotees have lost their great sages, their spiritual sustenance, their yearning for a better future, they feel that they are all dying, and the claims of the remaining cadres have given them a new purpose.

Then they knew that the great sages and good teachers were ready to lead them to rebel, to lead them to overthrow the rotten and dead heavens, and to set up another yellow heaven world.
