The situation in Yangzhou was turbulent, and the Han army stayed in a corner to temporarily avoid the front line. This made thieves such as Hong Xiuquan and Liu Xinmin increasingly rampant and committed evil acts!
If this continues, the Han army is in danger. Su Lie, Yuan Chonghuan, Qi Jiguang, Sun Jian and others each lead their armies and attack the enemy in four directions: southeast, northwest and northwest.
Among them, Su Lie and Qi Jiguang joined forces to defeat Liu Xinmin, who was newly crowned king. He originally occupied half of the state's sphere of influence, but all was lost in the current battle, with the loss of troops and generals.
Liu Xinmin proclaimed himself King Duobao on the 28th. He was attacked hard by the Han army and was eventually left homeless. He had no choice but to command his generals and was forced to go south to seek refuge with King Hong Xiuquan of Jiangnan!
Hong Xiuquan's forces were joined by Liu Xinmin and others, and their overall combat effectiveness soared to the highest level.
Among the new generals, there was the fierce general Ba bandit to assist in the battle, as well as Lu bandit, Lu Qian, Jia Juxin, Cui Daocheng, Qiu Xiaoyi, Li Erseng, Pei Ruhai, Liu Dapeng, Liu Badao, Liu Wuzhou, Liu Shanbo, Zhang Lun, Song Jingang and other civil servants and generals.
.
Hong Xiuquan was very ambitious, and now his power had greatly increased. He was dissatisfied with the king's title. He resisted the Han army in the west and occupied Danyang County, and invaded Kuaiji in the east. While protecting his son, he also ordered his subordinates Wei Changhui, Xiao Chaogui, Li Xiucheng, and Chen Yucheng.
The general will help with the arrangements for becoming emperor!
"The people who succeeded the Han Dynasty should rule the world in peace. I, Hong Xiuquan, am willing to dedicate my body to protect thousands of people in the world."
In September 1888, Hong Xiuquan held a ceremony to proclaim himself emperor in Moling, Danyang County, Yangzhou, established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and called himself the Heavenly King. He made a national jade seal and a gold seal of the Heavenly King, and enfeoffed all the generals under his command to stand shoulder to shoulder. The momentum was so great that it shocked the world.
After Hong Xiuquan proclaimed himself emperor, he immediately renamed Moling Jianye and made it the capital of the country. He appointed his favorite general Hong Rengan as prime minister, Guo Wei as the general to protect the country, and Li Xiucheng, Chen Yucheng, Wei Changhui, Yang Xiuqing and others to conquer the west.
The four generals conquer the east, conquer the south, and conquer the north!
In addition, Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, also conferred special royal titles: Xiao Chaogui was made the king of the west, Wei Changhui was the king of the north, Yang Xiuqing was the king of the east, Feng Yunshan was the king of the south, Hong Rengan was the king of Qian, Chen Yu became the king of Ying, and Li
Xiu became the loyal king, Guo Wei became the king of Zhou, Fu Yanqing became the brave king, Ba bandit became the wing king, Liu Xinmin became the precious king...
In addition, the deceased generals were also granted the title of King of Yan, Rigang of Qin was named King of Yan, Wei Jun was named Guozong, Luo Outline was named King of Fen, and Chai Jin was named King of Jue.
There were more than a hundred enfeoffed kings, among whom more than ten were known as "Kings of the same name", all of whom were Hong Xiuquan's confidants. The rest were not "Kings of the same name", but had the title of king, which was a false name!
During the proclaiming ceremony, in addition to conferring the title of king, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan also ordered the Prime Minister Hong Rengan to promulgate the national policy "Celestial Land Acquisition System".
The content of "Chinese Land Acre System" states bluntly:
(1) Declare that all land and wealth belong to the emperor.
Determine the principle: "Everyone in the world has fields and people all over the world work together."
It stipulates that "all fields are divided into nine grades", and "all fields are divided according to population, regardless of whether men and women are divided into half equal parts".
(2) Define the administrative system below the county level, establish township officials at all levels, and stipulate the recommendations, promotions, demotions, rewards and punishments for township officials.
Every 25 households of residents are called "two", and the "two sima" are responsible for managing production, distribution, education, religion, justice, and local armed forces.
(3) It stipulates the method of paying surplus grain and surplus money to the "national treasury". After each household's agricultural and sideline business harvests, after deducting rations, the rest will be paid to the "national treasury" and distributed according to the system.
…
The promulgation of the "Celestial Land Acre System" brought the popularity of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to the peak in Yangzhou and became the most popular. The promulgation of this system greatly infringed upon the interests of the aristocratic families in Yangzhou!
This forced those aristocratic families who were unwilling to participate in the war to rebel and defend their share of the 'cake'.
For a time, there were countless rebels in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Aristocratic families in various counties and counties donated money and troops to form an alliance of aristocratic families to fight against the rebel Hong Xiuquan.
While the aristocratic family was engaged in an armed confrontation with Hong Xiuquan, some wise men also secretly contacted Yuan Shu in Yuzhou, Yang Jian, Liu Biao in Jingzhou, and Shixie in Jiaozhou to request their reinforcements!
The aristocratic family's request for help from the governors of various states was leaked by traitors. The Taiping Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan became furious and immediately ordered the three generals Wei Changhui, Li Xiucheng, and Yang Xiuqing to command 20,000 elite troops each to carry out an operation to eliminate the aristocratic families in the country.
Hong Xiuquan's move undoubtedly added fuel to the fire. Under the policy of preferring to kill the wrongdoer before letting go, the voice of resistance within the country became more intense.
The family alliance headed by Lu Kang of the Lu family in Lujiang County gathered 40,000 soldiers to cooperate with the offensives of Su Lie, Qi Jiguang, Sun Jian, Yuan Chonghuan and others from the northwest, and continued to fight against the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
Just a week after Hong Xiuquan proclaimed himself emperor and established the country, Emperor Ling of the Han court heard the news and was so angry that his eyes were split open and he directly ordered the righteous men of the world to raise troops to conquer the rebels.
In addition, Emperor Ling also ordered Yuzhou Yuan Shu, Yanzhou Cao Cao, Yangzhou Kuaiji County Tang Mao, Jiaozhou Shixie, Jingzhou Liu Biao, Xuzhou Tao Qian and other state pastors and county guards to send troops together to behead Hong Xiuquan and destroy the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Champion!
"Ding! Hong Xiuquan replicated the actions of his previous life, established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and proclaimed himself emperor. This caused fluctuations in the historical plot and the balancing function was turned on again. Please forgive me..."
The system's mechanical sound sounded again, which made Yuzhou Yuan Shu frown slightly and lamented as if he was not surprised.
During this period, the troubles made by Dong Zhuo, Wang Mang, Hong Xiuquan, Zhang Jiao and others caused the system balance function to be turned on, and countless characters were born!
But what can we do? We can only take advantage of the situation and take it one step at a time.
"Ding! Among the balanced characters, please wait...
