In Chinese history, from the first emperor of the Qin Dynasty to the last child emperor of the Qing Dynasty, Puyi, there were more than 400 emperors. With the outbreak of the Xinhai Revolution in the republican form of government, China's feudal autocracy and imperial system came to an end.
Although there are twists and turns in history, such as Yuan Shikai's claim to be emperor and Puyi's restoration, because the time is too short, history has not been rewritten, but it also shows that there are many people who want to be "emperors". According to statistics, after the communist party of China led the Chinese people to win the revolutionary victory, there were about forty people in the people who "claimed the title of emperor, and many of them cult organizations took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, named "ministers" and "concubines," and even established "armed forces" to launch rebellions with the intention of establishing theocracy, which was jaw-dropping!
Claiming to be the reincarnation of Liu Bei, he established an armed organization in a vain attempt to restore the imperial system, but was destroyed by the public security regiment
Shi Dingwu, male, a native of Huashi Town, Xiangtan, Hunan, is a high-Chinese and a large landowner. He joined the Kuomintang from the age of 17, participated in the Kuomintang and the secret service organizations of the military command, actively engaged in anti-communist and anti-people activities, and was a counter-revolutionary with all five poisons.
▲ Shidingwu
Shi Dingwu's grandfather, Shi Zhenshun, called himself the reincarnation of the "Burning Lantern Ancient Buddha", and founded the "Three Phases of Purdue" in his early years, declaring that if he joined the religion, he would be able to save people from all disasters during their lives, and after death, they could enter the celestial immortal tour, so they absorbed many believers into the religion. After Shi Zhenshun's death, his son Shi Huaizhen, who called himself the reincarnation of "Dingpan Laozu", inherited the mantle of his father and became the head of the sect. After Shi Huaizhen's death, his son Shi Dingwu called himself "Mr. Liu" (Liu Bei) reincarnated, known as "Puheng FaDu Lord", and succeeded to the throne as the sect leader, so that the "Three Phases of Pudu" entered its heyday.
"Uprising"
After shi Dingwu became the leader of the reactionary cult organization, he mastered "the seal of the Buddha, which has the authority to ascend, descend, degrade, and appreciate the Buddha." The canons he formulated did not allow anyone to violate them, otherwise they would be punished as violating the Mandate of Heaven. His organization has the "Five Palaces", the head of which is called the "Altar Lord", and the altar master can appoint the "Handle", and the "Handle" is the leader in charge of a county or a region.
Shi Dingwu strengthened cooperation with the Kuomintang by virtue of his position as an important member of the Kuomintang reactionary government, and pulled Chen Deyan, the head of the military special agent and an important member of the Kuomintang, into the sect and crowned himself second only to himself as the "Supreme King Buddha, in order to win the support of the two major systems of the Kuomintang army and secret agents; then he instructed zhang Qifang, another "supreme king Buddha," to win over some high-ranking officials and secret agents within the Kuomintang as backbones, and to use his influence to develop and expand cult organizations.
Thanks to the support of reactionary governments at all levels, Shi Dingwu's "Phase III Purdue" organization grew stronger and stronger, and cult organizations rapidly developed into major cities in Hunan. Shi Dingwu served as the "Hongjiao Buddha King" and "Pudu Heng Lord" of the "Three Phases of Pudu", set up the "Harvest Original Palace" and the "Xuanhua Palace" in Changsha and Zhuzhou respectively, resealed the lord of the "Five Palaces", and made it clear that the "Five Palaces" were subordinate to the "Pudu Charity Hall", so that the organization of the "Three Phases of Pudu" was more perfect.
In order to develop the cult organization and deceive and fool the masses into joining the cult, Shi Dingwu compiled a set of superstitious heretical theories, imitated the handwriting of the ancients, drafted the "Scriptures" as the doctrine of "Three Phases of Purdue," and distributed them to the palaces and the main backbones for wide propaganda. In order to avoid disaster, many masses with deep superstitious ideas had to give money and money to join their cult, and some even ruined their families; some who had already joined the cult did not hesitate to raise tens of taels, or even hundreds, of taels of silver to join the cult in order to be crowned "King Buddha." Shi Dingwu's cult organization not only expanded rapidly, but also amassed a large amount of property.
"Restoration"
As the number of people enrolled in the religion exceeded 30,000, Shi Dingwu's ambitions grew more and more inflated, and he began to yearn for power. To this end, he wrapped himself up and declared to the people around him that he was a "monarch" and "the son of heaven", in a vain attempt to claim that the emperor had restored the feudal monarchy. And his manipulation has attracted many followers for him.
In 1943, Shiding's most loyal followers were trained and organized into armed groups. At the behest of Shi Dingwu, the backbone Zhang Qifang and others trumpeted in the church, "Shiding Wu is the true son of heaven, the world will be peaceful, and in the future it will be ruled by the 'Three Phases of Purdue', the demon king will disappear, and all the countries will come to the dynasty", and called Shi Dingwu "The King of Wu".
In the winter of 1947, Shi Dingwu conspired with Chen Deyan, Zhang Qifang and others in Changsha to build a country and form an army, and officially named the country "Great China Buddha Kingdom", and honored Shi Dingwu as emperor. The "Buddha's Kingdom" and the "General Headquarters of the Buddha's State Army" temporarily set up Xiangtan.
In 1947, Shi Dingwu announced the establishment of the "GreatEr China Buddha Kingdom", claiming to be the emperor of the "Buddha Country", and officially ascended the throne as emperor. It also made the "Yellow Apricot Buddha Banner" as the national flag, and divided it into "Left Cheng Xiang, Bao Driving General, Military Division" and so on. At the same time, the "Greater China Buddha National Defense Army" was also formed, referred to as the "Buddha National Army", with Chen Deyan as the commander-in-chief and Shi Dingwu's brother as the deputy commander-in-chief. According to the number of people, there are headquarters, brigades, squadrons, detachments and squads in various localities. The source of the soldiers, that is, the "three-phase Purdue" believers, appropriately accepted the participation of some local gangsters, rogues, and backbone members of the reactionary regime, carried out military, political, and special training, and determined military flags, numbers, epaulettes, hat emblems, and other symbols. In order to strengthen the military equipment of the "Buddha's National Army", a number of guns and ammunition were specially purchased.
Shi Dingwu built a new imperial palace covering an area of tens of thousands of square meters in Xiangtan. The four walls of the palace are towering, and the stone Buddhas, stone horses and stone lions in the courtyard are lined up left and right, and behind the front yard of the palace, there are bunkers, which are guarded by the royal guards in turn. In addition to the queen, there were also concubines, female workers, male workers, and a royal guard.
Every year in the first month of the lunar calendar, May, and December, that is, the months of Shi Dingwu's grandfather, father, and his own birthday, a "Xianfo Birthday" rally is held, referred to as the "XianfoHui". At that time, the stone-roofed Wuduan will sit in the main hall, wearing a soaring crown and wearing a gold-plated dragon robe, and sit in the hall to accept the worship of believers. The believers cried out three times, and asked the emperor to ensure peace and ascend to the level of Buddha. Every time you do the "Immortal Buddha Society", you can earn tens of thousands of pieces of light.
"Annihilation"
After the liberation of Xiangtan in August 1949, Shi Dingwu, who knew that he had committed many evils, wandered around and organized the "Xiang'e-Gansu Border Region People's Anti-Communist Self-Defense And National Salvation Army", plotting to attack the district government, and then went up the mountain to fight guerrillas, insisting on using force to confront the government, but was discovered by the Xiangtan County public security organs at that time, and the case was solved in time and the organization was destroyed.
Shi Dingwu sneaked back to his hometown, commanded and manipulated a few goons and "three-phase Purdue" believers, and set up a fake peasant association in a vain attempt to penetrate into the grass-roots political power, but also failed. After that, Shi Dingwu traveled back and forth between Changsha, Zhuzhou, Liling and Liuyang, using "Qi Ping" as a "holy oracle" to conduct secret tandem and direct activities. He also instructed the believers to write and distribute reactionary leaflets, slander the policies of the Communist Party, and widely propagate that the People's Liberation Army is a Red Army, and that it can only be red for a while, and that on the seventh day of the first month of July, the black wind will be completely destroyed when the black wind is black, and so on; he also spread rumors that "Chiang Kai-shek's army has landed in Fuzhou, Shanghai has been bombed to pieces, and the Kuomintang will soon return." He also warned his followers to "have a good heart" and not to "have evil thoughts", and when "the spring of the second year of Yin Di", they would be able to "see the Taiping Jun," and then "when the Buddha kingdom is glorious, you 'immeasurable king Buddhas' will be bigger than the county governor, and the 'supreme king Buddha' will be bigger than the governor" and so on.
In the winter of 1952, in accordance with the arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the provincial party committee, Xiangtan set off a town uprising with the main objectives of banning the reactionary "Huidaomen" cult organization and cracking down on the reactionary leaders of the "Huidaomen" cult.
In June 1953, when shi dingwu was arrested, shi dingwu had already heard about it and fled. In order to hunt down Shi Dingwu as soon as possible, the arrest team divided into two ways and began the pursuit of Shi Dingwu, one of which mobilized the masses in the local area to provide clues.
With the launch of the campaign to ban the reactionary "Huidaomen" cult and the enhancement of the political consciousness of the masses, Shi Dingwu's crimes and hidden clues to his escape were revealed. Finally, a believer accused Shi Dingwu of hiding in the home of another backbone believer not far from his hometown. The arresting personnel quickly arrived, seized Shi Dingwu, and seized several kilograms of gold bars and gold bricks from inside the sandwich wall, worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
In the course of banning the "Phase III Purdue" cult, a total of one batch of long and short guns and one hand-cranked transmitter were seized. Among them, 3 pistols, a Czech-style light machine gun, and 16 long guns with more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition were seized from the Shidingwu hiding place; a pistol and a hand-cranked transmitter were seized from Chen Deyan's hiding place; and 2 pistols were seized from other backbone hiding places. In addition, a jade seal of the emperor, a crown of the sky, a dragon robe, a piece of the phoenix crown worn by the empress were also seized, and a large amount of evidence such as guangyang, gold, reactionary scriptures, and criticisms were also seized.
In the winter of 1953, Shi Dingwu was executed by firing squad at a public sentencing conference attended by tens of thousands of people in Yiwuhe Town, Xiangtan County.
However, the matter did not end - in 1983, the "Greater China Buddha's Kingdom" was actually "restored"!
Remnant lurked and waited for the opportunity to become emperor, and someone actually sacrificed his daughter
After the "Three Phases of Purdue" cult was banned, most of the believers wrote a letter of guarantee to the government, and after registering for resignation, they were given a lenient punishment, while some remnants of the cult took the opportunity to lurk and wait for an opportunity to try to restore the country.
Li Pirui, the former "Minister of the Greater China Buddha", lurked after being tolerated by the government.
One day, Li Pirui had a dream, dreaming that two dragons hovered above his head, and finally one landed in his courtyard, so he firmly believed that this was the "apocalypse", revealing that he wanted to find the descendants of Shi Dingwu, and he was also looking forward to becoming a new founding hero.
So Li Pirui disguised himself as a businessman and began to look for the "queen lord" Shi Jinxin. Although Shi Jinxin found it, this "post-lord" was poor and stupid, and he didn't even have a wife in his early 30s. How can you not have a wife when you want to become emperor? So a former believer who wanted to be the "head of the country" immediately made a small calculation, decided to preconceived, and dedicated his daughter to this stupid "queen" to be the "queen", and the helpless daughter had to admit her fate.
On the morning of October 21, 1983, the enthronement ceremony of the "Later Lord" was held. Shi Jinxin appeared with the "Empress" and his courtiers. He "decreed" the division of ministers, the appointment of three believers as "ministers", and the training of three troops, ready to be used in the future seizure of power. He also appointed "Guozhang" as Taishi, and two other key believers served as religious heads in Jiangxi and Hunan respectively, equivalent to the governors of the two provinces, and the restoration of the "Greater China Buddha's Kingdom" began.
Farce is a farce after all. After ascending the throne, Shi Jinxin and others were immediately arrested by the Public Security Bureau. The government was ignorant of Shi Jinxin and was seduced by the god stick, so he was eventually released, and some of the other backbone members of the cult who died unrepentant were sentenced to death according to law, and some were sentenced to other punishments of different kinds.
It can be seen from this that once a cult organization gains power, it is bound to covet political power, and ignorance will produce worship and blind obedience, and as long as someone claims to be the "true son of the dragon," some people will submit to their allegiance and some people will crawl at their feet. Looking at the incident in which the cult organization claimed the title of king and emperor, it is inseparable from the expansion of the cult leader's ambition and the implementation of spiritual control over the poor and ignorant believers. Facts have proved that the people who want to go against the tide of history are just praying mantis arms as cars.
