The feudal thoughts in his bones began to come alive. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom still practices polygamy. Shortly after the uprising, Hong Xiuquan had 36 concubines. Later, when he captured a township and a village, he had to marry some beautiful women and fill the harem. Finally, according to statistics, Hong Xiuquan actually had more than 80 wives, more than Emperor Qianlong, with only 50 wives at most.
Hong Xiuquan, who delivered all the uprising tasks to himself, became a veritable shopkeeper of cutting. Meng Deen, Hong Xiuquan's subordinate, is even more interested in collecting beautiful women everywhere. Every year on Hong Xiuquan's birthday, he presents six beautiful women to Hong Xiuquan. Not only that, Meng Deen will choose beautiful women for Hong Xiuquan at the entrance of Tianjing 13 Road every spring. It is said that there is also a clear stipulation that "all young women and beautiful women are ready for the king to choose". Hong Xiuquan filled all the beautiful women in the world with various names to the harem for his own entertainment. The number of these beautiful women exceeds 2000.
However, how can Hong Xiuquan manage so many beautiful women alone? Even if he has three heads and six arms, he is too busy to face two thousand beautiful women. There are so many wives and concubines that Hong Xiuquan can't remember them all. He just numbers his wives one by one, and remembers beautiful women by numbers instead of their names. Every time I want to summon a beautiful woman, Hong Xiuquan will shout out the number that a beautiful woman represents.
So funny names like the 67th wife and the 74th wife appeared. Moreover, the harem belle is not only responsible for Hong Xiuquan's personal life, but also for other affairs. Hong Xiuquan kicked out all the men in Tianwangfu, leaving only Hong Xiuquan as a man, in order to avoid a femme fatale.
Therefore, these beauties are responsible for some chores in the Heavenly Palace, such as building large buildings and other heavy work, cleaning the courtyard and repairing the palace. In this way, beauty is both a wife and a slave.
