Chapter 58 Chapter 3 I am Jedi!I am the king of heaven!

In the first year of starting a business, two disciples were accepted, in the second year there were still two disciples, in the third year there was only one disciple, and in the fourth year, Hong Huoxiu was alone again.Disappointed and sad, he returned to his hometown, where he had nothing to do.Another year has passed.In the fifth year of starting a business, he suddenly heard the news about his eldest disciple Feng Yunshan, and heard that Feng Yunshan recruited three thousand disciples for him.Hong Huoxiu was very surprised, and hurried over there to see that it was really like this.As he walked on the road, an endless stream of believers greeted him, knelt there, and knelt down to greet Hong Huoxiu along the way, which is known as welcoming the Lord in history.

At that time, Hong Huoxiu looked at it and thought, is this the beginning of life and career?This is too easy, right? That's right, it's that easy!From the fifth year of his establishment, his disciples have increased tenfold every year, from 3,000 to 30,000.When he had 30,000 people, the local officers and soldiers had already come to suppress it. At that time, Hong Huoxiu was leading a few people to lobby Hu Yihuang, a rich man, hoping to let him join the organization.When he was flickering happily, the officers and soldiers Li Duanyuan brought people, and Hu Yihuang immediately sent his servants to fight and repelled the officers and soldiers.But the officers and soldiers also surrounded them, trying to trap Hong Huoxiu inside.At this time, Hu Yihuang found a servant with a secret letter hidden in his bun, and went to look for Hong Huoxiu's followers.So a battle against the Lord was launched among Hong Huoxiu's believers. More than 30,000 believers abandoned their homes and businesses and came to protect Hong Huoxiu with hoes and kitchen knives.He won the world in one battle. One year he had 30,000 people, and the next year he had 300,000 people.Since then, these 300,000 people have crossed the two lakes and went straight to the two Hunan provinces. Hong Huoxiu has already occupied the southeast of the world, and he has become a rival to the Qing court.

The name of the country established by Hong Xiuquan is always called the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in history textbooks. In fact, it is wrong. .Who is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?It belongs to the heavenly father Jehovah, belongs to the heavenly brother Jesus, belongs to the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan, and has nothing to do with any common people.Don't worry about irrelevant matters, but he has established an unprecedentedly powerful theocracy empire, which has formed the most basic confrontation with the Qing Empire.Moreover, the Qing Empire was in power at the time of Emperor Xianfeng, and the entire country was on the verge of collapse, unable to fight against it.

Why did the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan succeed so quickly?He thought that he was the younger brother of Jesus and the youngest son of Jehovah. Could it be that he could succeed based on this?The real secret of success does not come from Hong Xiuquan, but from his subordinate, a man named Yang Xiuqing. It was said earlier that after his eldest disciple Feng Yunshan escaped, he recruited three thousand disciples, namely Yang Xiuqing and his group.This group of people has been thinking about making trouble, thinking about starting a group incident, but they lack a leader. At this time, Feng Yunshan came to tell them: Jesus' younger brother has descended to earth.This group of people saw that it was just right, so they will shout this political slogan in the future.From then on, although none of them had met Hong Xiuquan, they all started to act according to Hong Xiuquan's slogan.When Hong Xiuquan came, he was regarded as the king of heaven by them.However, even if he has 300,000 people, if he wants to sweep the world in just three years, he must have a wonderful success trick, and he cannot do it without this trick.This trick was provided by Yang Xiuqing. If this trick is translated into a modern language, it is to organize and rebuild.

What is tissue reconstruction?There is a rule in modern sociology that the organization is everything, which means that the structure of a social organization determines its own laws, and the power structure of a social organization determines the position of each individual in it.In the history books of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, it is also known as the Hongyang Rebellion. The two men were able to separate the world because of their organizational reconstruction. What organization did these two people rebuild?family.There is an old saying in China that the family is the country. The whole society is based on the family. Every house lives in a family. There are parents, wives, old people, and children. An economic unit is formed through the extension of blood relationship. , a social unit.

Home is the fortress of survival for everyone. Children gain safety by their parents, and parents see hope in their children.However, this social structure is not to Hong Xiuquan's liking, and Hong Xiuquan believes that this structure is wrong. So what does he think the correct structure looks like?He thinks that there are no such things as brothers and parents, and there is no such thing as a wife, only brothers and sisters.Therefore, Hong Xiuquan rebuilt the society according to the structure of brothers and sisters. Every time he captured a city, he ordered all the residents to report for duty.He took each one apart and reorganized them according to age and gender.After this organization, a sophisticated combat group is formed. No matter how many family members there are, the women will stay by Hong Xiuquan's side, the old will serve him, and the young and strong must go to the front to kill the enemy, regardless of whether the enemy is with you. It doesn't matter, you have to kill him even if he is not your enemy.Because your parents are by Hong Xiuquan's side, and your wife is by Hong Xiuquan's side, if you don't kill Qing soldiers for Hong Xiuquan, then Hong Xiuquan will take your wife, children, and parents.

He took the elderly, children, and women of every family as hostages, and sent all the young people to the battlefield. This was Hong Xiuquan's early tactics.This tactic is unprecedentedly terrifying. How terrifying is it?All of them are desperate on the battlefield.Why risk your life?If you die, your wife and children who stay behind may get a good treatment, and if you back down a little, the punishment measures of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are very terrifying. Lighting sky lanterns is the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's favorite thing to do.It is precisely because of dismantling and reorganizing every independent social unit that Hong Xiuquan's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established a brand-new social organization.In this organization, sons should call their father brother, and daughters should call their mother sister, and all of them follow Hong Tianwang's orders and become his slaves, so that he has gained an unprecedentedly powerful fighting force.

There was once a battle recorded in the history books. All the young women who fought on the side of the Taiping Army were brave and fearless, regardless of their lives. For Confucian scholars, this phenomenon is incomprehensible, and Confucian scholars hate destroying families. structure this shameless practice.You know, everyone is lonely in this world, and only in the family can we get protection and a sense of security.But Hong Xiuquan's organizational reconstruction destroyed your family, and you no longer have a sense of security. Your life experience is drifting, and you have to attack the city for Hong Xiuquan for a day, and you are lucky if you die.
