Gao Yongqing was watching the battlefield a few hundred meters outside the city gate.
Although his name is "Yongqing", Gao Yongqing definitely belongs to the most restless grassroots in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, he is the leader of the Li Gua Sect. He has been spreading the Li Gua Sect for generations and has been preparing for rebellion for more than a hundred years. .
Li Gua Sect is a branch of the Bagua Sect system, and this Bagua Sect can be said to be the most legendary underground sect in the Qing Dynasty.
If the largest cult organizations in modern China are the Christian "Eastern Lightning" and "Three Redemption Christs", then the cults with the worst influence in the history of the Republic of China are "Yiguandao" and "Tongshan Society", which have long been in collusion with the Japanese. Sect, then in the Qing Dynasty, the most far-reaching and widespread cult organization was the Bagua Sect.
The legendary founder of the Bagua Sect is Li Tingyu, but this person can be said to be a figure who combines history and legend, and his real founder is Liu Zuochen, a native of Shanxian County, Shandong. According to the organization of the Bagua Tu, he recruited disciples and taught, and became the entire Bagua for three generations. The leading religious sect in North China, but the Bagua Sect at this period had no obvious political overtones. It was for the purpose of proselytizing and making money, and even openly bought officials. The leader had held positions such as county magistrate and prefectural magistrate. However, by the Qianlong period, it had become An underground religion whose purpose is to fight against the Qing Dynasty.
The Wang Lun Qingshui Sect uprising during the Qianlong period was a popular uprising initiated by the Bagua Sect system, and the Tianli Sect uprising in the 18th year of Jiaqing was also a variant of the Bagua Sect. Therefore, the Bagua Sect has been subject to the most brutal official suppression for a long time, and has repeatedly There were executions and exiles, but it also pushed the mythology within this religion to its limits. There are often cases where followers of a certain hexagram travel thousands of miles to the exiled areas in Xinjiang to find a new leader after a certain hexagram has been exiled.
By the time of Xian Tong, the Bagua cultivators in Henan and Shandong rebelled. The most famous group is Song Jingshi, and the subsequent Boxers also have a deep connection with the Bagua Sect. Even in the Republic of China, there was still a variant of the Bagua religion called Sage Way.
The Li Gua branch of the same Bagua system is the most rebellious branch of the Bagua sect. The Gao family has been in charge of the Li Gua branch for a long time.
Gao Yongqing is such an underground sect leader and dictator. His grandfather and father both died in the iron prisons of the Qing Dynasty, but for the astonishing wealth and power, he continued to run the Guide Mansion like a moth throwing himself into fire. The teaching authority of a branch of Li Gua Sect.
He glanced at the tightly tied group of people below, laughed and said: "Chu Zhenyun, my good son-in-law, are you willing to follow the old mother Wu Sheng to survive this great disaster!"
The person in the lead took a sip, and then cursed: "Mr. Chu is short-sighted and has fallen into your trap. He has harmed the magistrate and all his colleagues. He wants to collude with you. That is absolutely impossible!" "
Gao Yongqing smiled and said: "Good son-in-law, I have married all my daughters to you. Aren't you grateful to repay me? Now follow me, Old Taishan, to destroy the Guide Mansion and save the 9.4 billion good people in the world." Promised Land¡¡±
What he said were all the teachings of the Bagua Sect. However, although Chu Zhenyun made a big mistake, he was a veteran cadre from the Taizhou period and was sincere to Liu Chang: "Even if Chu is dead, I won't do anything to you." wish!"
Gao Yongqing immediately sneered: "If you persist in your obsession, then send him to the city and behead him. I was led by my mother Wusheng, but I don't have a good son-in-law like you!"
He continued to persuade Chu Zhenyun: "Zhenyun, now it is our Li Gua's world. Now all the red thieves within a hundred miles of Guide have been defeated by my Li Gua. There are also brothers in our sect in Shandong who are revolting and responding. Even with eight counties under control, the world is already under our Li Gua, so why are you so stubborn!"
He persuaded her again as his father-in-law: "It's enough for you to die. Who will take care of the child in Hong'er's belly? If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Hong'er and the child."
Although Chu Zhenyun is a tough man, he had to think for a while after hearing this. He has now made a fatal mistake. I don't know how many comrades and colleagues fell in a pool of blood because of his mistake, but he I had to face a difficult fact again, that is, that poor and hateful woman, and the child in her belly.
He felt that his head was going to explode. He couldn't help but look up, wanting to take a look at Guide City, but all he could see was that Gao Yongqing looked sincere, but actually there were many sinister eyes hidden in his eyes. He took a deep breath, and then another deep breath: "When I arrived in Guide, others told me about Zhang Xun's guarding Suiyang. They all said that he had protected the Tang Dynasty and was almost perfect, but he was a little too ruthless towards his wives and concubines. I deeply believed that "
At this point, Chu Zhenyun roared at Gao Yongqing: "But now I understand, sometimes the ruthless are the real ones, Lao Taishan, chop me up!"
Seeing that Chu Zhenyun refused to take any advice, Gao Yongqing became angry: "PullGo to the city, pull him out for me, and chop him into pieces, then I will treat you as if you don¡¯t have this son-in-law!"
He continued: "Tell everyone, let me attack fiercely and continue to attack fiercely. No matter how many lives are taken in, we must capture Guide. When we capture Guide City, we will join forces with Liu Gou to conquer Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, and then sweep the world "
It¡¯s just that in the end he recited a mantra from the Bagua sect: ¡°Old mother without life, empty hometown¡¡±
¡°No birth mother, no home!¡±
Following this mantra, thousands of believers flocked to Guide City and more cities¡ª¡ª
¡°Since the founding of the country, this rebellion has been the most numerous.¡±
The person who said this was Hu Linyi. He is now Liu Chang's cabinet prime minister, so many secret documents within the Hong Army have been disclosed to him. He has just a few of them in his hand and reported them from Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Guangdong, and Guangxi. The memorial came.
Although he, the prime minister, is only responsible for economic affairs, and Liu Chang is directly responsible for national defense and military affairs, he now has to say to his staff: "It's shocking, shocking, not much inferior to the chaos in the Kingdom of Heaven in the past!"
The reason for the formation of this round of rebellion is largely due to the vacuum zone after the new regime entered. Historically, these sects and sects were strictly restricted by the Qing government, but now they are taking advantage of this vacuum zone to develop their own power. .
From these memorials and documents, it can be seen that Henan and Shandong were the places with the most violent rebellions. Not only were the traditional Bagua system making waves in history, but there were also some sects and parties that had not been paid attention to in the past. For example, Shandong's territory, as for Guangdong and Guangxi, is an area flooded by Tiandihui and Hongmen.
But Li Hongzhang, who was opposite him, had his own opinion: "Prime Minister Hu, I think that although it is coming from a raging flood, with our emperor shining brightly for thousands of miles, it will not be difficult to pacify the bandits, but"
"Just what?" Hu Linyi glanced at this Zeng Guofan student and secretly felt a sense of sadness.
Since his teacher Zeng Guofan was captured by the Hong Army, he has become a political tool for Liu Juehu. Liu Chang knows how to use the surplus value of the commander of the Hunan Army, but this Taoist gentleman also lacks enough integrity. It is said that after Lu Ziyun only used a few tricks, Zeng Disheng completely turned his back on politics.
The fact is not as simple as a complete political betrayal, but that Zeng Disheng has completely betrayed himself. He is now under the supervision of the Hong Army everywhere and preaches to the civil and military generals of the old Qing Dynasty, Xianyanda. The imported Newspeak either reviewed its own historical crimes or accused Daoguang and Emperor Xianfeng of their conspiracies. Sometimes it even went so far as to be shameless.
But compared to Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan can be said to have performed well, and can even be said to have a noble character. At least he will not cling to anything, but this Li Hongzhang and Li Shaoquan have been extremely active since he entered the cabinet. What he said were all new words, and he always stood on the same stand as Liu Juehu, even to the point where if Liu Juehu said that farts smell good, Li Hongzhang would write a ten thousand-word "Theory on Fart Fragrance".
¡°This man was a Jinshi of the Qing Dynasty after all, so how could he be so shameless!
But in the cabinet, Hu Linyi had to seek help from Li Hongzhang. Just like now, he had to listen to Li Hongzhang's opinions.
You must know that he did not bring his entire staff in Hubei to Hangzhou. His staff were either not ashamed of him surrendering to the red bandits, or were unwilling to leave Hubei, or it was Liu Chang's personal preference, or other reasons. , only a few people came to Hangzhou, and he faced a completely unfamiliar cabinet team.
And although he is the prime minister of the cabinet, the authority of the cabinet is very limited. He still faces the struggle for power among the ministers. The more important opponent is the governors who are divided into provinces. He has reached this point solely by virtue of his extraordinary perseverance. .
At least for those provinces that have been fully controlled, the cabinet has enough power that Hu Linyi is nostalgic for the position of prime minister. As long as he is given another three to five years, he will be a real powerful prime minister of Daxia, but he He must seize food from the hearts of those warlords, and in this regard he needs Li Hongzhang's support even more.
Li Hongzhang immediately had his own explanation: "Prime Minister Hu, think about it. From Shanxi to Shanxi in the north, to Guangdong and Guangxi in the south, and even in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, there are cults rising. The number of people is hundreds of thousands, and the disaster is in dozens of counties. The founding of the dynasty Since then, this is the only case in the former Qing Dynasty and the White Lotus Rebellion in the five provinces of Qianjia and Jiaqing has such momentum!"
Hu Linyi has already understood: "You mean there is someone behind this?"
"Yes!" Li Hongzhang replied immediately: "Not only is there someone behind him, but?Still a foreigner!¡±
Hu Linyi already understood: "Russian?"
