Not all blame Yang Xiuqing for his carelessness, the planning and implementation of the "Jie Yang" incident can be called the magical work of the "super conspirator". And this super master of conspiracy planning is rarely mentioned.
Today, we will not talk about the complicated causes and consequences of the event, but only review the process of "Jie Yang" together, from which we may get some enlightenment.
After the kings went out, Yang Xiuqing took control of Tianjing and gained a "false sense of security" Before the "Tianjing Incident", Yang Xiuqing transferred Shi Da to Hubei to rescue Wuchang, Wei Changhui to Jiangxi to preside over the situation, and Qin Rigang stationed in Danyang.
In the early days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the laws were strict, and the foreign armies were not allowed to transfer orders, could not change the garrison without authorization, and could not enter tianjing without reason.
Tianjing is his own person, and Yang Xiuqing certainly has a sense of security. It can be said that even if Yang Xiuqing feels that his relationship with Hong Xiuquan is becoming increasingly tense, there is reason to think that he is very safe at this time.
However, at this time, in his Eastern King's Mansion, a "Super Conspirator" who was trusted by the Eastern King in his thirties was planning a fatal blow to the Eastern King!
This conspiracy master was Chen Chengyao, who was called the "eighth person" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom by foreigners at this time.
Chen Chengyao, a native of Tengxian County, Guangxi, Chen Yucheng's uncle, is short and lean, although he does not read much, but he is strategic.
Because of the "smashing of the Confucius Temple", the Taiping Army could not get the support of intellectuals, so the Taiping Army had long been "strong in arms and weak in culture" - there were many people who could fight, and there were very few people with strategies. Therefore, Chen Chengyao, who has a brilliant strategy, quickly stood out.
Chen Chengyao first served as a bodyguard officer for Hong Xiuquan, the Heavenly King, and was later transferred by the Eastern King to the Eastern King's Mansion to assist in handling the planning and strategy. Chen Chengyao's strategy is outstanding, and he is deeply trusted by Yang Xiuqing. By this time, he was already the Marquis of Zuotian, the "head of the hundred officials in the interior".

Chen Chengyao is one of the very few figures who is trusted by both the Heavenly King and the Eastern King. Soldiers can be killed, not disgraced. Chen Chengyao, who has a grudge in his heart. Although he was introduced by the Eastern King as his confidant, Chen Chengyao was extremely resentful of the Eastern King and deliberately wanted to get rid of the Eastern King.
It all starts with the cool name "Wrangler Incident.".
At that time, when Yang Xiuqing's brother was passing by Qin Rigang's mansion, Qin Rigang's grooms may have deserted and did not pay tribute according to the etiquette of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. As a result, Yang Xiuqing's brother whipped the "Wrangler" on the spot and handed it over to Huang Yukun (Shi Dakai's father-in-law), who was in charge of handling the relevant incident at the time.
Huang Yukun believed that the mistakes he had committed had been whipped and did not impose additional punishments.
As a result, Yang Xiuqing's brother was not satisfied and went to the Eastern King. The Eastern King, angry with his brother, sentenced the "Wrangler" to five horses and split the body.
Qin Rigang and Chen Chengyao (the two had a very good personal relationship, so Chen helped Qin to speak out) interceded for the "Wrangler", and was reprimanded by Yang Xiuqing. The two simply "resigned" in protest.
resign? What else did the rebel cause resign? Yang Xiuqing's fire was great. Not only did he continue to divide the corpses of the five horses into "wranglers", but he also gave Qin Rigang, Chen Chengyao, and Huang Yukun a staff punishment respectively!
The small group of Wei Changhui, Qin Rigang, and Chen Chengyao did not arouse Yang Xiuqing's vigilance. The masterpiece of the "Conspiracy Master", "Operation Yang Yang", can be called a model of ancient and modern conspiracies.
The first step: "whistle-blowing", obtain the authorization of the Heavenly King "Jie Yang"
At this time, although Hong Xiuquan was worried about Yang Xiuqing's excessive power, he did not make up his mind to immediately "curse Yang". Previously, Wei Changhui and others had suggested "Jie Yang", but they were all rejected by Hong. It can be seen that Hong Xiuquan has not yet made up his mind about "Xue Yang". It can be said that it is precisely because of Chen Chengyao's "whistle-blowing" that Hong Xiuquan has made up his mind. He immediately secretly ordered Wei Changhui, Shi Dakai, and others to enter Tianjing to "protect the driver."
Step 2: Steal the name of the Eastern King and release Wei Changhui into Tianjing
Since the Heavenly King had not been able to ask about political affairs for a long time, Tianjing was completely controlled by Yang Xiuqing at this time. Without proper planning, the "Jie Yang" operation may have been as bad as the "Yi Belt Edict" incident of Emperor Xiandi of Han that year.
At this time, there were defenses everywhere in and around Tianjing (there were All of Dongwang's henchmen in the troops). Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang could not approve it, and they could not even touch the gate of Tianjing City.
Chen Chengyao took advantage of his position in the Eastern King's Mansion to "spread the word" and cleverly arranged for Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang to enter Tianjing all the way, and in the whole process, not only was he not embarrassed by the garrison troops, but he also did not arouse the suspicion of the Eastern King's henchmen!
Step 3: Open the door of the mansion and wash the Eastern Palace in blood.
Entering the Tianjing, even if you reach the gate of the Eastern King's Mansion, it is not easy to kill it!
In the later period of the "Tianjing Incident", Wei Changhui once attacked the Tianwang Mansion, but he could not defeat it. At that time, the Eastern King's Mansion was said to be more than the Heavenly King's Mansion, and all the people and horses in the vicinity were the Eastern King. Relying on hard attacks is simply hitting the stone with a pebble.
After Yang Xiuqing was killed, no one in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could calmly dispatch and support the situation in the central government like him. Step 4: Deceive the Eastern King's henchmen in the name of the Heavenly King and cut the grass and remove the roots.
After getting rid of Yang Xiuqing, he should have stopped killing and calmed people's hearts. However, Wei Changhui and others were worried about retaliation and were eager to cut the grass and remove the roots.
However, the Dongwang henchmen of more than 20,000 people are not so easy to kill!
"Schemer" Chen Chengyao began a master performance again. In the name of the Heavenly King, he issued a decree to the elite of the Eastern King's Yu Party: Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang wanted to kill innocents indiscriminately, and now the Heavenly King wanted to punish them, and hoped that you would come together to the auditorium near the Heavenly King's Mansion to "observe the punishment."
The Eastern King Yu Dang saw that the Heavenly King wanted to torture the enemy, and naturally came to "observe the punishment." Since it is in the auditorium near the Heavenly King's Mansion, according to the system, weapons are not allowed.
In the "Observation of Punishment", it was indeed the staff that reprimanded Wei Changhui, Qin Rigang, and others. However, because the criminal law was too lenient, the people did not accept it.
Chen Chengyao said that there are also punishments. These people were asked to go into the various rooms to rest. (This part is Xiaobian's own brain supplement, otherwise Xiaobian can't understand that these people will go to various rooms to rest after the "observation of punishment")
These people, originally veterans who had been following the Taiping Army, many of them, at this time, undertook the responsibility of training new soldiers (many new recruits in the Western Expedition were trained by them, so the conversion rate of new recruits to veterans at that time was very fast), which can be described as a vital strategic force of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Unfortunately, he died in the slaughter of the conspirators! Two revelations of Yang Xiuqing's murder: 1. Don't easily feel that you are "irreplaceable" and have a false sense of security.
Yang Xiuqing has reason to think that he is irreplaceable. In fact, after his death, no matter how brilliant Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng were, they could not replace Yang Xiuqing's role.
Perhaps, it is precisely because of this false sense of security that Yang Xiuqing thinks that Hong Xiuquan will not disregard the overall situation and get rid of him quickly! Otherwise, how could Chen Chengyao, who was closely related to the Heavenly King, the Northern King, and the Yan King, be introduced as his confidant?
We often do this in our lives, and when we achieve results, we always feel irreplaceable.
However, even a person like Wang Shi who single-handedly took up the company was almost "removed" by capital; even Jobs, who founded Apple, would be "fired by the company he founded." Human greed is often unreasonable, and if you think you are in the way, it will attack you. Even if you're truly irreplaceable, they always think they can find an alternative.
2, do not insult, intimidate others.
Perhaps, Yang Xiuqing believes that after scolding Chen Chengyao, he will trust more, and may make the other party grateful to Dade!
However, when we open the history books, the subordinates who have been reprimanded and intimidated are betrayed and rebelled against the water because we are unaware of history!
Mi Fang, a relative of the emperor, was reprimanded by Guan Yu and surrendered the city to the enemy.
After Wang Gui, the old brother who followed Yue Fei, was reprimanded by the staff, he framed Yue Fei!
If the person doesn't do a good job, you can give the right start, deduct money, demote, or even end the partnership. However, do not insult or intimidate others.
A soldier cannot be humiliated, and a sense of humiliation and fear is an unforgettable emotion.
After you insulted and intimidated him, maybe you feel that you are fine, maybe people will remember it for a lifetime!
However, even if everything is done, the conspiracy is still invincible. Thankfully, today, we all have the right to choose our jobs and partners! Working away from values-distorted work and partners and doing things in a down-to-earth manner is the most reliable choice.
Well, the story is over, here is a wish you can all live and struggle in an atmosphere of unity!
