There are many differences between China and other countries, such as the peasant uprising. Looking around, the peasant uprisings of the entire Chinese feudal dynasty have not been broken since chen sheng and Wu Guang, especially the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement that broke out in the qing dynasty, the last feudal dynasty, reached its peak.
Due to the crazy exploitation of the ruling class, the peasants at the bottom could not stand it, and Yang Xiuqing was once one of them. Desperate, Yang Xiuqing joined the cult of worship organized by Hong Xiuquan at that time.
In the beginning, he was just a nobody, and he was ordered to rescue Feng Yunshan, the founder of another sect who was imprisoned. At that time, the sect's environment was harsh, everyone was like a headless fly, Yang Xiuqing saw this golden opportunity, and under the pretext of being possessed by the Heavenly Father, successfully gathered everyone together, unanimously opposed the enemy, and successfully defeated the Qing army.
Yang Xiuqing's approach not only won the support of the congregation, but also won the recognition of Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan, who believed that this method was worth using and could make everyone more united. After Yang Xiuqing received acquiescence, he began to use the heavenly father as an excuse to successfully win over a large number of loyal subordinates. After the Jintian Uprising, Yang Xiuqing also made a great contribution by relying on this move.
Because of this, after the formal establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan, as the Heavenly King, made Yang Xiuqing the Eastern King when he was rewarded for his meritorious deeds, directly in charge of the command of the Heavenly Kingdom's army, and gradually became the actual ruler of the Heavenly Kingdom, while Hong Xiuquan became the spiritual leader and completely became a puppet.
After Yang Xiuqing became the actual ruler, he led the troops to make several great achievements, successfully broke through the encirclement of the Qing army, and his prestige in the kingdom of heaven became higher and higher, and he was deeply admired by the generals, and Yang Xiuqing gradually began to be proud and complacent at this time, not taking the other kings in his eyes, and even Hong Xiu began to look down on them.
As far as the festival between Yang Xiuqing and Wei Changhui is concerned, there are some contradictions between the two of them, Yang Xiuqing took advantage of Wei Changhui's father's presence, deliberately created himself to be bumped, and wanted to beat Wei Xiuqing's father's staff to a hundred large boards, and it was useless for anyone to persuade him. When Wei Changhui heard about this, he immediately rushed over and pleaded with Yang Xiuqing, since he had to punish, he would let himself suffer in place of his father.
These just happened to hit Yang Xiuqing's arms, and immediately agreed to Wei Changhui's request, beating Wei Changhui to the point of being beaten to the ground and losing his face, and the contradiction between the two of them completely entered the point of intolerable water and fire.
This is not just an individual case, Yang Xiuqing's search for kings often happens, not only that, but even Hong Xiu has become the object of his prestige. On that day, Yang Xiuqing went to the Heavenly King's Mansion and asked Hong Xiuquan to personally go out to meet him. Hong Xiuquan did so, still being beaten by Yang Xiuqing on the grounds that he was disrespected by people. Even though everyone present was pleading, Yang Xiuqing began to refute everyone under the pretext of heavenly father's upper body, and beat Hong Xiuquan with a staff.
Why were the kings bullied into being so unwilling to unite against Yang Xiuqing? In particular, Hong Xiuquan, who was still the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, still did not dare to resist. The reason is that after the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they have always wanted to indulge in pleasure and do not want to fight anymore, and Yang Xiuqing is a thug, who needs to be responsible for leading the army to resist the Qing soldiers. Therefore, Yang Xiuqing became more and more rampant.
But Yang Xiuqing even dared to fight Hong Xiu, and the other kings bullied at will, but they did not dare to beat Shi Dakai, why is this?
The reason is also very simple, because Shi Dakai is different from other kings, he is also a general who kills the enemy in the front, holds heavy power, and the army he leads is still the strongest force in the heavenly kingdom, and Yang Xiuqing may not be able to beat him.
Shi Dakai is not only a fierce general, but also deeply loved by the common people. His team is strictly disciplined, because he was born bitter, so when he saw the people at the bottom, he would actively give alms, and did not allow the army to bully the people, in the eyes of the people, his status was much higher than Yang Xiuqing.
Of course, there is another important reason, although Yang Xiuqing has nothing to do, but this is not his interest, the reason why he is like this is to suppress the kings and firmly grasp the power in his own hands. Although Shi Dakai held heavy power, he was bent on fighting, did not participate in political affairs, and could not threaten Yang Xiuqing.
