Chapter 540 Insider
Gao Yongqing was watching the battlefield a few hundred meters outside the city gate.
Although his name is "Yongqing", Gao Yongqing is definitely one of the most restless grassroots in the Qing Dynasty. In fact, he was the leader of the Li Gua Sect. He has been engaged in the spread of the Li Gua Sect for generations and has been preparing to rebel 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 organization in modern China is the Christian color of "Oriental Lightning" and "Three Redemptions Christ", then the cult that has the worst influence in the history of the Republic of China is "Yiguandao" and "Tongshan Society", which has long been hooked up with the Japanese. Then the cult organization that had the most profound influence and widespread influence in the Qing Dynasty was this gossip religion.
The ancestor of the Bagua Buddhism legend is Li Tingyu, but this person can be said to be a figure that combines history and legends. His real founder was Liu Zuochen, a native of Shan County, Shandong. He accepted disciples and set up teachings according to the organization of the Bagua Map. He became the leading sect in North China for three generations. However, the Bagua Buddhism during this period had no obvious political color. He aimed to preach and make money, and even publicly bought officials. The leader served as a magistrate and a prefecture. However, by the Qianlong period, it had become an underground religion with the purpose of anti-Qing.
The Wang Lun Qingshui Sect Uprising during the Qianlong period was a civil rebellion initiated by the Bagua Sect system. The Tianli Sect change in the 18th year of Jiaqing was also a variant of the Bagua Sect. Therefore, the Bagua Sect has been subjected to the most cruel official suppression for a long time, and has been executed and exiled, but it has also pushed the mythological color within this religion to the limit. There are often cases where a certain family of gods was exiled, and believers traveled thousands of miles to the exile in Xinjiang to find the new leader.
During the same period of Xian, the Bagua Sects in Henan and Shandong had a great rebellion. The most famous branch was Song Jing's poems, and the Boxer Rebellion later also had a deep source of the Bagua Sect. Even in the Republic of China, there was still a variant of the Bagua Sect, the Tao of Saints.
The Li Gua branch in the Bagua Sect system is the most rebellious branch in the Bagua Sect. For a long time, the Gao clan has been in charge of the Li Gua lineage.
Gao Yongqing was such a sect leader and dictator of the underground sect. His grandfather and father died in the Iron Prison of the Qing Dynasty. However, for the sake of amazing wealth and power, he continued to control the power of the Li Gua Sect, the branch of Guide Mansion, as if he had been thrown into fire.
He glanced at the group of people tied tightly below and laughed: "Chu Zhenyun, my good son-in-law, are you willing to follow Wusheng's mother? Through this great disaster!"
The person who led the lead spat, then cursed: "My person Chu is blind and has been fooled by you, and it will be fine if he hurts the prefect and his colleagues, but he will also have to join you. That's absolutely impossible!"
Gao Yongqing smiled and said, "Good son-in-law, I have married you all my daughter. Are you still not grateful? Now let me, the old Taishan, break the Guide Mansion, and spend all the 9.4 billion good people in the world to go to the paradise..."
He was talking about the doctrine of the Bagua Sect, but although Chu Zhenyun made a big mistake, he was an old cadre in the Taizhou period and was sincere to Liu Chang: "Even if Chu dies, he will not fulfill your wish!"
Gao Yongqing immediately sneered: "Since you are stubborn, you will be sent to the city and beheaded. I am led by Wusheng's mother, but I am not as good as you!"
He continued to persuade Chu Zhenyun: "Zhenyun, now it is the world of our Li Gua. Now all the red thieves within a hundred miles of Guide were defeated by my Li Gua. There are also brothers in Shandong who responded to the uprising of the uprisings in my sect. Eight counties have been conquered. The world is already the world of our Li Gua. Why do you have to be obsessed with it?"
He persuaded him as his father-in-law: "It's fine if you die, who will take care of Hong'er's belly child? If you don't think about yourself, you should also think about Hong'er and the child."
Although Chu Zhenyun was a man of iron, he had to ponder for a while when he heard this. He had made a fatal mistake now. I don’t know how many comrades and colleagues fell in a pool of blood because of their mistakes, but he had to face a difficult fact, that is, the pitiful and hateful woman and the child in her belly.
He felt that his head was about to explode, and he couldn't help but look up and wanted to look at Guide City, but he could only see Gao Yongqing looking sincere. In fact, he didn't know how many dangerous eyes were hidden. He took a deep breath and took a deep breath: "When it was Guide, others told me about Zhang Xun's guarding Suiyang. They all said that he had kept the Tang Dynasty comprehensive and almost perfect, but he was a little ruthless to his wives and concubines. I deeply agreed..."
At this point, Chu Zhenyun roared at Gao Yongqing: "But now I understand that sometimes Wuqing is really affectionate. Old Taishan, chop me up!"
Seeing that Chu Zhenyun was not good at it, Gao Yongqing became angry: "Take it down to the city, pull it out for me, and chop it up directly, and I will pretend that I don't have this son-in-law!"
He continued: "Tell everyone, give me a fierce attack and continue to attack. No matter how many lives you fill, you must take down Guide. When you take down Guide City, we will join forces with Liu Gou to defeat Kaifeng and Zhengzhou, and then sweep the world..."
But he finally recited the mantra of the Bagua Sect: "The old mother of Wusheng, her hometown is empty..."
"The old mother without birth is vacuumed!"
Thousands of religious followers flocked to Guide City and more cities.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Since the founding of the country, this rebellion has been the largest and 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 Hongjun were made public to him. He was holding several memorials reported from Henan, Shandong, Shaanxi, Guangdong and Guangxi.
Although he, as the prime minister, is only responsible for economic affairs, and Liu Chang himself is directly responsible for national defense and military affairs, he now has to say to his staff: "It's shocking and shocking, not much worse than the past rebellion in heaven!"
The reason for this round of rebellion was largely due to the vacuum zone after the new regime entered. In history, these sects and associations were strictly restricted by the Qing government, but now they use such vacuum zones to develop their own power.
Among these memorials and documents, it can be seen that Henan and Shandong are the most powerful place for the rebellion. Not only does the traditional Bagua sect system in history make trouble, but there are also some sects and congresses that were not paid attention to in the past. For example, Shandong's army, and Guangdong and Guangxi are even more popular in the world and the Hongmen.
However, Li Hongzhang on the opposite side had his own opinion: "Hu Xiang, I think although it is flooded and flooded, but with my emperor illuminating thousands of miles, it is not difficult to pacify the bandits, but..."
"Just what?" Hu Linyi glanced at Zeng Guofan's student and felt a sense of sadness.
Since his teacher Zeng Guofan was captured by the Hong Army, he has become a tool for Liu Juehu to use politically. Liu Chang knew how to use the surplus value of the commander of the Hunan Army, and this Taoist master also lacked enough integrity. It is said that after Lu Ziyun only used some means, Zeng Disheng completely turned aside politically.
The fact is not as simple as being completely betrayal in politics, but that Zeng Disheng completely betrayed himself. He is now under the surveillance of the Hongjun to preach to the civil and military generals of the old Qing Dynasty. As soon as he opens his words, Liu Juehu has brought in from somewhere. He either reviews his historical crimes or accuses Daoguang and Emperor Xianfeng of the conspiracies and tricks, and sometimes even reaches the point of being shameless.
But compared to Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan can be said to have performed well, and even have noble character. At least he will not stick to anything. However, since Li Hongzhang and Li Shaoquan have been very active since they entered the cabinet. He said all the new words in his mouth, and he always stood on the same position as Liu Juehu. Even to the point where Liu Juehu said that the fart is fragrant, he, Li Hongzhang, would write tens of thousands of words "The Stir-Fragrance Theory".
After all, this is also a Jinshi from the Qing Dynasty, so why is he so shameless!
However, in the cabinet, Hu Linyi had to seek Li Hongzhang's help, just like now, he had to listen to Li Hongzhang's opinions.
You should know that he did not bring his full set of staff in Hubei to Hangzhou. His staff were either ashamed of surrendering to the Red thief, or unwilling to leave Hubei, or Liu Chang's personal preferences, or other reasons. Only a few people came to Hangzhou and he was facing a completely unfamiliar cabinet team.
Moreover, although he is the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, his authority is very limited. He still faces the struggle for power by the ministers. His more important opponents are the governors who are in charge of various provinces. He has reached this point entirely with extraordinary perseverance.
At least those provinces that have fully mastered the cabinet have enough power, so that Hu Linyi also nostalgic for the position of prime minister. As long as he is given another three to five years, he will be the real power minister of the Great Xia Kingdom, but he must seize food from the hearts of those supervisors. In this regard, he needs Li Hongzhang's support.
Li Hongzhang immediately said: "Xiang Hu, think about it, there were cult uprisings from the north to Shanxi, Guangdong and Guangxi, and even Jiangsu and Zhejiang, with hundreds of thousands of people, which caused dozens of counties. Since the founding of the National Dynasty, this is the only example, even the pseudo-dynasty of the Qing Dynasty, and only the White Lotus uprisings in the five provinces of Qianlong and Jiaqing provinces had this momentum!"
Hu Linyi already understood: "You mean there is someone behind this?"
"Yes!" Li Hongzhang immediately replied: "Not only are there people behind it, but also foreigners!"
Hu Linyi already understood: "Russian?"
