Fig.: Hong Xiuquan's imperial robe Enter peaceful army Nanjing later for some time,by river would rather the " war remit slightly to Nanjing " that write and " Nanjing record event " that anonymous person write the getting more full and more accurate comparatively. Two authors have both gone through the peaceful army and captured the life after Nanjing, though with " thief " everywhere Call the peaceful army, but it is mostly true to write in the works, are all personal experiences witnessed. Pluck the example and tell as follows from two books now.
Actually the people in Nanjing lived a normal life, suddenly couple family separated, the man entered" the man hall " ,The daughter enters" the woman hall " ,Will submit to all property, the shape and reform through labour, couple can't reunite, parents children can't meet each other, there is no stranger's fun at all!
The primary impression to the peaceful army of common people of Nanjing is failing to keep faith. When the peaceful army just entered the city, pretended to be and never killed. So long as common people support, offer article to them, they will dispatch tribute form, then not disturb each other. Then, common people take it seriously, are fighting for for offering silver, rice, livestock, vegetables,etc. to the peaceful army, in order to try to get the tribute form, stick it on the door, in order to keep family safe. However, the peaceful army see who is the tribute form is being stuck on the door, enter instead and search for, because this takes advantage of sb.'s unpreparedness, it is believed that these common people family illegallies possess more articles. At the beginning, they do not dare to search for from house to house, is afraid there are officers and men to hide inside, just run into people and handcuff it first on the road. In a few days, the peaceful army will put up the notice, will order people to carry on normal trade, not wanting the general merchandise of shop to be nearly all plundered emptily, nobody responds. And then, in the name of checking to people, extort from house to house, order the strong man to hear him to drive. There are persons who illegallies possess gold and silver in every one, sentence severe punishment immediately. Drive all the women out of the family, some hold babies in the arms, is carrying the luggage, on the road in a panic, can't speak miserably. These women some haul oneself willingly into the rivers, some throw children Yu He. By evening, sleep in the open under the eaves. Wait until " the woman hall " After establishing, all of women enter " the women hall " .
The peaceful army will assign to the army and attack Zhenjiang, Yangzhou, plan to force several tens of thousands of of male common people to board the boat in meridian of life, as the forward. Common people learnt in the city that in an uproar, some committed suicide, some stole and escaped. Just the disposition will be more gentle very much that the peaceful army will get for Zhong FangLi, week, afraid that makes the situation out of control for the moment, ask craftsman's hall of the setting up machine, end hall of the brand, let these people work there for the peaceful army, then needn't go to the battle field to court death. Later, set up, mix, walk vegetable garden again, it mixes competent to be craftsman, vegetable garden let people plant vegetables in there, there are more than 20,000 the labourers of two places too.
Peaceful army treat those force in man hall and woman hall people of life like dog's horse. Because the young and vigorous escape one after another, the workforce is insufficient, use the annual old person, even the old and sick and weak person does not miss either sometimes. Then, the person waiting for an opportunity to escape is getting more and more. The women in the woman hall run ceaselessly to work in the daytime too, can't have a rest. The peaceful army have robbed a large amount of salt rice in Hubei, Anhui and other places, transport to Nanjing by ship, berth, outside appearance phoenix door, on land west door, have woman officer hold flag drive common people go out of the city, carry, while transporting and is put in storage. In order boy scout hold whip drive common people that carry, take action, whip right away slowly slightly still on the way. It is obvious these imprison common people of man hall, woman hall general like the slave. Because unusual death and escaping seriously, the number of people of every hall drops quickly. But the peaceful army do not forfeit into either newly " The office-staff " ,In order to substantiate the basic labourer's number of them.
The women sign, take on the brick, dig the ditch, camel's rice rice, cut wheat beans autumn work such as the standing grain making bamboos of paring every day. The peaceful army still make the bound feet wrapped up in of women deviate from and bind feet the cloth. Manage woman woman of hall one hundred grow in four urging all women get up, work right away day. It is in vogue that the woman officer appears, there are thing retinues such as the umbrella, gong,etc. too. Under so tight and severe management, it is very difficult to say the people of Nanjing really support " the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom " . Because the peaceful army in Yangzhou are short of food, kill decrepit people as the army provisions.
The peaceful army call storehouse " The holy storehouse " ,The soldier is " holy soldier " ,The grain is " holy grain " . While fighting, while meeting with critically, officers shout to the soldier: "Boldly and with confidence, God sees and takes care of! God blesses! " So as to deceive people. The people in Hunan, Guangxi are clumsy, often deceived by it. The South people relatively understand, do not believe its speech. They also say: "The more bear hardships, the more imposing. " Officers and men said to also enrage Qing Dynasty: "Have very much it order,there will be one gallbladder; I am only a point of lives, but there is courage very much. " They are known as: The ones that fought died all had the skill, people are worth congratulating, because the dead's soul has already risen in the paradise.
In order to mind that agrees on the shape of knowing, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom forces the people to change to believe " God teach " . Peaceful army transmit orders, study person who become literate must go to the imperial edict hall to wait the life, otherwise beheaded, misprision person and crime. Then, several hundred people enable coming in the imperial edict hall, write and copy the notice for the peaceful army. The person shutting the purpose of peaceful army, is assigned to every department for the book official. They write God's book, teach people how to recite. The people can't carry and read ing should all receive the punishment of cane. The peaceful army let people write down the language of swearing on yellow paper, in week, then burn, call it and show repentance. Those words of praise are written by Feng YunShan, every manager leads everybody to read aloud daily, sleep every day and must read " some of boys and all boys kneel underground " silently before the diet, offer Xie Tian's father and have the main the emperor always blood grandfather emperor " Wait for languages. They think: God created world mountains and sea personages within seven days, so, it is one in seven days to read aloud and praise one, week when call. In street, establish big flag one day ahead of time, write " it will be week tomorrow, respectively should be reverent " above Words. During week, still enshrine and worship God with the fruit, cake bait, everybody reads aloud praise together, gold Nao sound and firecracker sound in front of the door of every palace can be heard without end. The praise language is: "Praise God day the Father, praise Su the Saviour Can rescue people and live in ease and comfort cleverly infinitely God and Hong En, vast and boundless, abuses the crown prince, send and lower the mortal world. Donate the life and take the place of and redeem my Chai's sin, people know to repent, the emperor is ten thousand years. "
The peaceful army offer in Nanjing " Delete the publishing house " ,Specially revise past dynasties Classical Confucian texts. They do not store overgrown with weedsly precisely, but change some words in the book, is for avoiding the forbidden word of some names or supernatural names. For example: " holy " Make a change and " win " ," have " " still " make a change ," yes " Change " the ear " ," country " Make a change " Guo " ," fire " It is " on " to make a change ," clear " Make a change " lushly " ," show " Change " the green bristlegrass " ," the last of the twelve Earthly Branches " Make a change and " open " ," the fourth of the twelve Earth Branches " Change " the honour " ," ugly " It is " good " to make a change . Annual in hard the last of the twelve Earthly Branches, it is the year when Hong Xiuquan rises in revolt; The peaceful army capture Nanjing in the ugly year of the last of the ten Heavenly stems. Then, they claim to " open in the first year of an era hard " ," three fine years of the last of the ten Heavenly stems " . They still call emperor in successive dynasties " The looks " ,Do not call them a king. Can see in then, in its new the Four Books that revises: "Mencius sees Liang HuiXiang, says: ' make light of travelling from afar, come, have with favourable Guo also? ' " Like that, too numerous to mention.
State, ancestral temple of a ruling, Buddhist and Taoist temples are lasting thing evil spirit peaceful army, destroy all except that. Certainly the characters related to these things are too " The goblin " ,must destroy and then fast. Then, the officers and men in Qing Dynasty are known as " goblin's head " , " goblin's soldier " ,The person escaping from the peaceful army is known as " Turn into the goblin " .
The peaceful army still force the intellectuals scholars to enter institute's examination of the tribute, imitate the imperial examinations of Qing Dynasty and choose scholars as officials. Arranged the name by the person of admission for the champion, second place at palace examination, third place in imperial examination, spread setting out etc., there are several dozen members of Imperial Academy, the doctorate is nearly one hundred. One day, Yang Xiuqing forces these gifted scholars to compose verses, the topic is: " all within the Four Seas are east kings " . Have one let intellectual scholar living abroad of Zheng compose poem and say: "All clear kings of the four seas, Ann holds mean creatures overbearingly; People all think in the north watchtower on either side of a palace gate, there are east kings sometimes generation. " Yang Xiuqing old anger, order, dismember Zheng. There is an intellectual scholar milled by Xia Zong, there are languages which scolds the peaceful army in the end one, dismembered too.
There are 177 articles in the law laws of the peaceful army. Call the light, five horse cutting the corps in pieces, peeling, iron poke, carrying the cars,etc. for some days in punishment of the palace, all death penalty. Bend, kneel fire, cane coercing, whip carrying, wooden shelf instead, all grow punishment. Women are guilty, confiscate and manage again. Ten things of laws of heaven of the peaceful army are: One visit evil god, two kill, victimize, three unfilial, four rape and seduce, five steal, plunder, 6 swindle, illegally possess the wealth goods seven times, eight is turned into the grass, nine is hard, ten smokes. Turn into the grass, just go and seek refuge with Qing Dynasty; The hard meaning that escapes especially, those who violated stand and cut.
