The lord hunted down by the game

Chapter 245 The Successor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

"The trials in this game are really one after another. This time there was an internal split in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's coming mechanism. It seemed like I got a big advantage, but it actually prevented the shortcut of completing the trials directly after Hong Xiuquan's death.

This time the game trial came to the Taiping Army, and it is probably not accidental, it should be the situation that occurred when I placed the three trial legions in different places.

Once the trial legion is very unlikely to gather together, there will be three relatively independent trial legions with one leader.

In this way, even if the leader of the game trial dies, it will not cause other trial legions to fail before they exert their strength.

As expected, the loopholes in the game trial are not so easy to exploit.

The treatment of the game trial leader who died and directly completed the trial should be based on the premise that I did not deploy the three trial legions separately. "

After putting away Shi Dakai's game reminder of establishing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Yuri thought to himself.

Yes, the country that Shi Dakai established as king was still the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Shi Dakai declared to the outside world that he was the successor of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Hong Xiuquan. After Hong Xiuquan was destroyed, he naturally had to take over the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's orthodoxy...

Even if this so-called Taiping Heavenly Kingdom orthodoxy is not recognized by any country!

However, the legitimacy of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which is unknown to the governments and people of various countries, is extremely important to Shi Dakai and the Taiping Army under his command. Shi Dakai even held a grand enthronement ceremony on his own site for this.

Of course, Yuri thought it was Shi Dakai showing off in front of the conquered Indians on the west coast.

To put it bluntly, the ritual of this era is to "put a cross" in front of the lower-level people, so that the lower-level people feel tall or full of mystery, so that awe and authority can be established in the bottom-level people's psychology.

Shi Dakai was fooling around a group of ignorant native Indians on the west coast of North America, so even if the enthronement ceremony was simple, he could still easily establish the authority of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

At the same time, it also used this method to declare the entire west coast, which is already the territory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Everyone is a citizen of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, unless you want to rebel and try the guns of the Taiping Army!
Obviously, Shi Dakai's enthronement ceremony was very successful as a show. After the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the conquered native Indians showed less signs of resistance.

Of course, this is also related to the various Taiping Heavenly Kingdom policies promulgated by Shi Dakai.

Compared with Hong Xiuquan's simplicity and crudeness, Shi Dakai was obviously more considerate of public opinion.

He sent people to teach the conquered Indians the 'advanced' farming techniques and smelting techniques, so that the Indians have the ability to smelt pig iron!

This is a milestone progress!
Compared with the central region of North America where whites are generally in contact, the Indians on the west coast of North America separated by a Rocky Mountain have very little contact with whites, and even many Indian tribes in deep mountains and old forests have never seen white colonists at all.

Therefore, they still live an extremely primitive life of fishing and hunting. Only a few Indian tribes have mastered rudimentary farming techniques and use slash-and-burn production.

Because of this, after defeating the Sioux Alliance, Shi Dakai conquered the Indians on the entire west coast without any effort.

What stopped the Taiping Army from conquest was not the ridiculous resistance of the native Indians, let alone the brave fighting of the Indians with bone and stone weapons, but the bad road conditions!
Fortunately, all the soldiers in the trial are hard-working and abnormal, and their morale is always at full value. This little hardship will not cause much difficulty to the Taiping Army headquarters.

And the native Indian cannon fodder troops that Shi Dakai conquered and took in also grew up in a difficult environment, and their ability to endure hardships and stand hard work is not comparable to those white immigrants.

This is the advantage of the Indians in conquering the Indians. Just being good at walking on jungle mountain roads cannot be compared with the white colonial army.

Like Hong Xiuquan, Shi Dakai also expanded an army directly under him with the Taiping Army as the backbone after the founding of the People's Republic of China.

The difference is that Shi Dakai paid more attention to the training and 'ideological re-education' of indigenous soldiers.

The ideological education here is also commonly known as brainwashing, and of course it does not refer to the set of learning the proletarian revolution...

It is the belief in God created by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!
While Shi Dakai conquered the indigenous tribes of the West Coast Indians, the messy totem worship beliefs of various Indian tribes on the West Coast were completely destroyed and replaced with the beliefs of the previous generation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

Facts have proved that religion is far more effective than law in the rule of illiteracy!

After all, you can’t expect a group of people who don’t even know the words to understand the definition of the law.

On the contrary, mystical religious beliefs make it easier to brainwash these ignorant people.

This trick is not only used by Shi Dakai. The Sioux people in central North America who are transforming into the Soviet Kingdom also have their own beliefs.

It’s just that like the Iroquois League, due to receiving a large amount of funding and support from the British, it is inevitable that the sect must believe in God.

In particular, Steel, which was supported by the British, directly used the opportunity of the Great Purge to establish the Catholic Protestantism passed down by the British as the state religion after the establishment of the Soviet Kingdom!

Iron and Steel is very clear about what it can rely on, so it naturally satisfies the requirements of the British as much as possible.

Coincidentally, Iron and Steel can also use this opportunity to cleanse its potential political opponents.

Although this kind of violent massacre and cleansing caused great losses to the population power of the Sioux, but at the same time, it also condensed the originally loose Sioux alliance into a real Soviet kingdom in the shortest time!

In contrast, although many people in the Iroquois Confederacy believe in British Protestantism, there are still a large number of primitive tribal totem beliefs within the sect. Many Iroquois Indians even believe in God in front of the British while at home. Pray for the forgiveness of the totem god...

It was precisely because of this that the British strongly supported steel.

Whatever the purpose of the steel, the conversion of faith was enough for the British to push their tentacles deep into the Soviet kingdom.

In this era, only a common belief is the prerequisite for being regarded as one's own person, and the lower the level, the more attention is paid to belief.

The ruling class of the country may also secretly unite with the heretics because of their interests, but the attitude of the people at the bottom towards the heretics is difficult to change.

Even between the Roman Catholic Church, the British Protestant Church, and even the Puritans, who also believe in God, quarrels and conflicts often broke out, and it was nothing to use this as an excuse to start a war.

Initiating wars in the name of religion is the normal state of the countries on the Europa continent, and they can easily gain the support of the majority of the people!
