Chapter 19 Leading brother Feng Yunshan

On the way back home from Pastor Luo, Master Hong received good news that his good brother Feng Yunshan had dug up his first pot of gold for him. History tells us that the spread of a religion requires not only a leader to summon followers with his profound teachings and spiritual influence, but also a person of great political and secular ability to organize the power of the congregation. Although Master Hong's teachings are not authentic and are quite counterfeit, but if he is placed in the counterfeit and ignorant version of Christianity, the Church of Worshiping God, it is still so-so to be a spiritual leader.

And the person who is extremely capable in politics and secular affairs is none other than Feng Yunshan. Feng Yunshan, a rural teacher, is very politically minded, has a long-term vision, and is capable of doing things, especially his organizational skills are unparalleled in the world, which makes him the de facto leader in worshiping God. All of them are the kings of the South——"Li Xiucheng's Autobiography"). After the failure of smashing the tablets of Confucius, Feng Yunshan knew that worshiping God had no market in Huaxian County, because Huaxian County (now Huadu District, Guangzhou) was too close to Guangzhou City, and its economic and cultural level was relatively high. Attractive, so Feng Yunshan decided to change to a suitable place to continue fighting.

In the end, Feng Yunshan chose Guangxi.Because Guangxi meets the two criteria of an ideal place in Feng Yunshan's mind: The first criterion is that the poorer the better.The poorer the place, the weaker the ruling foundation of the imperial court, and the government rarely interferes with itself; the poorer the place, the more blocked the information, and the people are easier to fool when the information is not clear. Of course, Guangxi is poor for a reason. The first is man-made disasters, the unemployment situation is too serious. The thing is this: After the first Opium War for trade ended, the British, American and French businessmen who were the winners dumped foreign goods into China with all their might.The consequence of the frantic influx of foreign goods was the rise of the commodity economy in the treaty ports.With the sudden emergence of the commodity economy, the traditional cottage industries in the treaty ports will naturally be unable to operate, and the self-sufficient small-scale peasant economy will naturally lose its market. Guangzhou is the hardest hit area.

Since Guangzhou's economic situation is not good, many wage earners from Guangxi who rely on foreign trade services for a living will naturally lose their jobs.Here comes the problem: those who go out to work are the main economic pillars of their families. Without their income, the family members can only wait to starve to death. Then there are natural disasters, God is too weak, and Guangxi has been suffering from famines for years, and hungry people are everywhere. Natural disasters and man-made disasters have made Guangxi catch up, and it is impossible to think about it! Although wealth can call the world, disasters can gather people's hearts even more.Natural disasters and man-made disasters are the pain of the people of Guangxi, but they are the gospel of Feng Yunshan.

Feng Yunshan's second criterion is that there must be conflicts that can be exploited, so that the team can be strengthened by uniting one faction against the other.Guangxi just fits the requirements, because Guangxi has the famous "Turkish Rebellion". At that time, the residents of Guangxi were divided into two categories, one was the locals (indigenous peoples) and the other was the Hakkas who were immigrants—this kind of people mainly migrated from the Central Plains to the south to escape the war, and they were very particular about the clan. Unite and hold together. Because the Hakka people occupy a lot of land resources, and the Hakka people's language, living habits, and beliefs are different from the local people, the conflict between the Hakka people and the local people is very serious. In addition, the government favors the local people, so the local people and the local people The Hakka people often fight to the death, and the conflicts are very sharp.

Feng Yunshan made good use of these two conditions in Guangxi. In three years, Feng Yunshan not only recruited more than 3,000 faithful believers in Guangxi, but more importantly, he organized a strong leadership team. Arranged as follows: Got it wrong?With Feng Yunshan's contributions and talents, how can he be inferior to Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui? That's right, it happens for a reason. As Feng Yunshan's business of recruiting people into a group is getting better and better, he was arrested by a local landlord with a sense of crisis for the crime of mobilizing a crowd for rebellion, and then he was thrown into a government prison.At that time, Hong Xiuquan was in Guangdong, and the God-worshiping Guangxi base was leaderless for a while, and it was on the verge of collapse.

Just when everyone was at a loss what to do, the leading actor Yang Xiuqing and the supporting actor Xiao Chaogui stood up bravely, trembling and foaming at the mouth.Yang Xiuqing said that she is the heavenly father (God), and she brought the heavenly brother (Jesus) Xiao Chaogui to the mortal world to enlighten everyone: Don’t panic, Feng Yunshan is definitely fine, this is just a test, to test whether everyone can work together to overcome difficulties... … This place in Guangxi is inherently superstitious, and the God and Jesus played by Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui are consistent with the "Trinity" theory invented by Hong Jiaozhu. In addition, Yang Xiuqing's acting skills are superb, the plot is lifelike, vivid and natural, and the congregation is fooled by Yang Xiuqing.

Once the morale of the army is stabilized, things will be easy to handle. Things were not easy at first, after all, Feng Yunshan was charged with a lot of crimes. Fortunately, there were many corrupt officials in the Qing Dynasty, and they could be conquered with money. Yang Xiuqing brought everyone together to sell charcoal and saved a sum of money to redeem Feng Yunshan. Mr. Lee Kai-fu once used his successful experience to inspire the world, saying that his success can be replicated.But Mr. Yang Xiuqing, who has just made great achievements, dare not say this sentence, because he never wants anyone to copy his success. Yang Xiuqing can be summed up in six words: talented, ambitious, arrogant, such a person It is unwilling to live under others for a long time.

Since he chose to be possessed by God, he has embarked on a journey of chasing higher power.Because behind Yang Xiuqing rescuing Feng Yunshan and saving God Worshipers from danger, his deeper intentions are hidden. The reason is simple: if Yang Xiuqing can succeed in descending to earth in the name of God, then Hong Xiuquan who descended to earth in the guise of the Son of God will have to listen to him from now on.It is only right and proper for Lao Tzu to teach his son a lesson.Besides, everyone is playing the game of possession, do you, Hong Xiuquan, dare to expose Yang Xiuqing? Therefore, in this leadership team, Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing, and Xiao Chaogui, the three noble aliens, were among the top three, and despite Feng Yunshan's contributions, he could only rank fourth.Fortunately, Feng Yunshan doesn't care, he has a heart of unity and supremacy, in order to take the overall situation into consideration, personal gains and losses are nothing!

The power distribution of the six-member leadership team follows this pattern: separation of church and state.Hong Xiuquan is the boss in terms of status, and his power is equivalent to that of the Queen of England and the Emperor of Japan. Yang Xiuqing is the second eldest in status. He controls the other four, and his power is equivalent to the prime minister of the government and the cabinet prime minister.That is to say, the real power is in the hands of Yang Xiuqing, and the other four are divided to check and balance Yang Xiuqing.
