Chapter 41: The rebellion of the common people, the rebellion of the gentry, and the rebellion of the bureaucrats (please read it later and vote for me)
"Your Majesty the Angel, do you still need to recite sutras during this rebellion?"
The person who asked this question was Wang Huoxiu, who was very talented in dancing and rebellion. Although his talent was high, he had not received formal "rebellion education" after all, and he had not yet realized the extent of the rebellion situation in the Qing Dynasty. How nice.
"Huo Xiu," Luo Yaoguo smiled and picked up one of the three volumes of "Anti-Jing" and handed it over, "Take it and take a look. You can recognize the words on the cover."
"Yes." Wang Huoxiu agreed, and walked a few steps on his knees. When he arrived in front of Luo Yaoguo, he took the "Anti-Jing" with both hands, then held it in his hand and looked at it. There were blue lines on the cover. There are six characters in it - rebelling against the scriptures, Volume 1, the rebellion of the common people.
"Your Highness, what is written above is "Revolt against the Scriptures, Volume 1... The Rebellion of the People."
Wang Huoxiu still knew some words, but he didn't recognize the word "庶" for "common people".
"Common people, common people rebel!" Luo Yaoguo said, "Common people are small people like you. This volume of "Anti-Jing" explains why people in the world are rebelling, for whom they are rebelling, and what kind of people they are rebelling against. Who can lead them to rebel against the world?"
As Luo Yaoguo spoke, he glanced at the eight disciples in front of him, "You are all common people, and those who are going to mobilize in the future are also common people, so you should learn "The Rebellion of the Common People" first! Huo Xiu, please turn to the first page Take a look, can you recognize the text above?"
"Yes." Wang Huoxiu opened the "Anti-Jing" in his hand, and then began to read, "The rent is heavy, the interest is high, and it is difficult for poor people to survive these days. Open the door early to pray for peace, and the discipline will be happy. Kill the demon. , Slaughter the evil gentry, open the city gates to welcome peace, and when peace comes, divide the fields! Divide the fields, divide the wealth, and ensure that everyone is fed and warm. If rent is not paid, debts are not repaid, the world will be uneven..."
It turns out that the first page of the Common People's Volume of the "Anti-Jing" is Luo Yaoguo's "Song of Rebellion" "Welcome to the Peace" based on "Welcome the King of Chuang".
Since this song "Ying Taiping" is placed at the beginning of the common people volume of "Fijing", it is naturally used to mobilize the common people.
The biggest pain for the common people in the late Qing Dynasty... was of course not having their own land or not having enough land!
From the end of Daoguang to the beginning of Xianfeng, China's population was estimated to be over 400 million, which was almost the same as in the early years of the Republic of China. The contradiction between man and land at that time was even more acute than in the early years of the Republic of China! Because in the early years of the Republic of China, it was thanks to someone who broke into Guandong, and at the end of Daoguang, It didn’t exist in the early Xianfeng period, but the wicker side wall was still there! Historically, the wicker side wall was not abolished until the tenth year of Xianfeng period.
In other words, most of the 400 million Chinese people now can only live on the farmland in the eighteen provinces of Han Dynasty, with an average of just over two acres of land per capita. But now in 1852... no There are no chemical fertilizers, no pesticides, no improved seeds, and no industry to support agriculture. The yield per mu of farmland is extremely low. It would be okay if more than two acres per person were irrigated land, but there are only a few paddy fields, and most of them are dry land or even sloping land. In terraced fields, the yield per mu is quite low.
With an average of more than two acres of land per capita, even if it can be truly averaged, it can only sustain one person who cannot eat enough and starve to death... Most farmers will still feel that the land is not enough. What's more, the Qing Dynasty has never suppressed After annexation, this country has been in existence for more than 200 years. Of course, land will be concentrated among a few people.
As a result, the working people are even more eager for land!
Without those two acres of thin farmland, they would have to struggle day and night just to have enough food and clothing!
What does it mean to struggle on the line of food and clothing?
If you encounter any natural or man-made disaster, you will starve to death or freeze to death!
This is the reason why the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement flourished! It is a pity that although the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom realized this, they could not come up with a solution... No, not a solution, but a way to mobilize the working people.
.
Because it is not that easy to solve the problem, but it is not difficult to detonate the thunder that is enough to blow up the Qing Dynasty.
It is a pity that the leaders of the Taiping Rebellion proposed a whimsical version of the "Celestial Land System" that "returns everything to the Lord", which completely failed to satisfy the desire of the working people for land... After all, they were not rebels with a professional background!
The focus of Luo Yaoguo's "Anti-Jing" on the common people is to address the land issue. The first thing is to tell the thousands of working people that only by rebelling can they get land and be exempted from the usury that will drive them to death sooner or later!
Then we really divided their fields and property, and exempted them from loan sharking... Even if we can't fundamentally change the sharp contradiction between man and land, we can't achieve "equality everywhere" and "no food and warmth everywhere."
, can still win hundreds of millions of real supporters for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Luo Yaoguo looked at Wang Huoxiu who had just finished reading the lyrics of "Welcome to Peace": "Huoxiu, you know a lot of words. Have you attended a private school?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty the Angel, I have been to private school for two years." Wang Huoxiu replied truthfully, "It's a pity that my family no longer has any money..."
"No need to be a pity!" Luo Yaoguo waved his hand and said, "What if I study for a few more years? What if I become a scholar?"
As he spoke, he picked up two other "Anti-Jing" books and handed them to Wang Huoxiu: "Read the titles of the books."
"Yes." Wang Huoxiu took the two copies of "Anti-Jing" and looked at the names on the covers and read: "Anti-Jing, volume two, the rebellion of the gentry; anti-jing, volume three, the rebellion of the Han officials...
Your Highness the Angel, are you going to rebel even if you are a master?"
Luo Yaoguo smiled and nodded: "Of course! Because of the annexation of land, the common people have more people and less land, so they have no food and clothing.
Because the Manchurian dignitaries monopolized official careers and created a literary prison, they wanted to unite the world but failed. Now is the end of the world. They can't calm the people and protect their families, and they can't save the country and protect the king, so they have to rebel... and
They must rebel! Even if they hold team training with the intention of being a dog to the Qing Dynasty for a while, they will eventually rebel when they become big!
And those dirty Han officials who were lucky enough to be admitted to the Jinshi, and then went bankrupt to replace them...sooner or later they will rebel!
As for why they want to rebel, why they must rebel...the content is contained in Volumes 2 and 3 of "Anti-Jing". You don't need to study it now. For now, you only need to read Volume 1 of "Anti-Jing", "Rebels of the Common People"
It’s enough to learn about fur!”
"Yes, I understand, little one."
Wang Huoxiu immediately returned Volume 2 and Volume 3 of "Anti-Jing" to Luo Yaoguo.
Luo Yaoguo laughed and said: "Why do you still call yourself young... Huo Xiu, you should call me master!"
When Wang Huoxiu heard this, he was overjoyed and hurriedly kowtowed to Luo Yaoguo: "Disciple Wang Huoxiu, I'd like to meet my master!"
"Okay!" Luo Yaoguo nodded and said, "Disciple, master will change your name. You don't want to be called Huoxiu. The word "Huoxiu" violates the taboo of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom... I see that you are in a stubborn position. There are so many piles of people, but it’s hard to hide the wealth of beautiful jade, so why don’t I give you a single name, Yan, with two words of fire next to the character “王”, because fierce fire produces jade!”
"Disciple, thank you, Master, for giving me your name!" Wang Yan kowtowed to Luo Yaoguo again.
Luo Yaoguo then said to the remaining eleven people: "You should also be my disciples! From now on, Wang Yan will be your senior brother... What are your names? Tell your master!" "
"My name is Wang Xi'er, and I am Senior Brother Wang's sister."
"My name is Zhang Bao."
"My name is Xiang Wu."
"My name is Ma Baocai."
"My name is Li Kezhong."
"My name is Chen Ji."
"My name is Juba..."
Luo Yaoguo's disciples quickly finished naming them one by one. Looking at these future pillars of the Kingdom of Heaven, Luo Yaoguo nodded with satisfaction, then pointed to the dishes on the Eight Immortals' table and said with a smile: "This is what I invited you to do for me... ....Have a good meal! Starting from tomorrow, you will follow the example of my teacher and rebel!"
"Thank you, Master..."
...
"Sanniang, take these two copies of "Anti-Jing" and let Huang Shijie's wives and concubines copy them."
Just when the "Twelve Newcomer Kings of Rebellion" started eating and drinking, Luo Yaoguo had already left the table and approached Su Sanniang with two copies of "Anti-Jing" written by himself.
"Let Huang Shijie's wives and concubines copy this?"
"Yes!" Luo Yaoguo said, "Let them copy five copies each, and let them go after they finish copying."
"Really?"
Luo Yaoguo nodded: "Of course! Let them return to Huang Shijie with three volumes 2 and 3 of Anti-Classics... Wang Kuiyi doesn't need the common people to copy him and Yu Wanqing. , but among the three volumes of "Anti-Jing", there is always one volume that is suitable for them!"
Su Sanniang was stunned: "Angel, do you think they will react the same way?"
Chapter completed!
