Hong Xiuquan has a huge harem, in order to manage the harem, he is very innovative to implement "digital" management, so that everything is orderly at the same time, but also full of absurdity. Today, we will walk into the "digital" management of the harem of Hong Xiuquan in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In 1853, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom officially set the capital of Tianjing, and the big men of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally had a stable old nest. At this time, Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly King, had half of the southern part of the country and reached the peak of his life. Life must be full of joy, Hong Xiuquan played it to the extreme, he not only built a palatial palace for himself, but also collected a large number of beautiful women. According to records, from Hong Xiuquan's entry into Tianjing in 1953 to his suicide at the age of 52 in June 1864, he basically did not leave the Tianwang Mansion in these 11 years. So, what exactly was he doing in the harem?
Hey hey, I think everyone guessed it, Hong Xiuquan's harem has a huge number of sisters, he and the harem's mother-in-law drink and have fun, every day as a groom, the days are beautiful! After the Jintian Rebellion, Hong Xiuquan chose 15 concubines, and when he was in Yong'an, Guangxi, the number of his harems increased to 36, and after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was set in Nanjing, the number of Hong Xiuquan's concubines was even greater.
According to a book called "Notes on Spring Dreams in Jiangnan", there were no eunuchs in the Heavenly Palace (the taiping heavenly kingdom's technology was not good), only female officials, Hong Xiuquan's harem concubines and female officials who served him totaled more than 3,000 people. After Hong Xiuquan's son Hong Tianguifu was captured, he gave an account to the Qing army: "I am now 16 years old, and the old king of heaven is my father. I have 88 mothers, I was born to the second Lai, and I married 4 wives when I was 9 years old. ”
Through Hong Tianguifu's confession, we can accurately know that Hong Xiuquan's harem has at least 88 concubines, although there are not thousands of them, but it has also exceeded the number of seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts of the previous emperors, and even the lustful Xianfeng Emperor at the same time only had 18 concubines, and he was even more powerful than the emperor!
Because the number of Hong Xiuquan harems was too large, Hong Xiuquan could not remember the names of these sisters at all, so in order to facilitate management, Hong Xiuquan did not have any titles for these concubines, and implemented a fantastic "digital" management, and these girls were numbered in turn with numbers, so there were unknown names such as the 2nd wife and the 80th wife. Hong Xiuquan wants the girl to go to bed and directly report the numbers, which is so simple and rude and efficient.
Hong Xiuquan is really a genius, in order to manage the harem, but also formulated a lot of "digital" rules and precepts, living under Hong Xiuquan's obscenity, the sisters are inferior to cattle and horses. For example, he made a digital "ten should be beaten" rule: if you are not religious, you should fight. Hard neck does not listen to the teaching of the two should be played. Look up at the husband three should fight. Ask the king if he is not religious four should be beaten. Impure breath is not pure five should be played. Speak loudly six should be hit. There are seven should be called and should be played. Face affection does not like eight should be played. Look left and right nine should fight. Speaking is not leisurely and should be played.
In this way, in the 11 years from Hong Xiuquan's entry into Nanjing to his suicide in 1864, he basically did not leave the Tianwang Mansion, and he was stuck in the gentle countryside of the Tianwangfu and could not extricate himself. Finally, in the rumbling cannon of the Xiang army, Tianjing was attacked by the Xiang army, and Hong Xiuquan ended his absurd life. In fact, behind Hong Xiuquan's "digital" management of the harem, in the final analysis, is a reflection of his extreme corruption. After more than ten years of fighting, the people were killed and injured countless times, and the Kingdom of Heaven was not established in the end, but instead established a regime that was the same as the Qing court, or even more than that, what a great irony!
