I want to turn back time and space, tear open the curtain of history, and go back to that turbulent era.
I want to go back to Jintian Village in the first year of Xianfeng, to the land where the uprising was ignited, and to see with my own eyes how those ragged farmers with firm eyes clenched the weapons in their hands and let out the first roar against the injustice of the world. I want to go back to Yong'an City, to the night when the kings were established, and see how the young Shi Dakai was canonized as the Wing King with his extraordinary courage and strategy, and how the heavy responsibility of the "Wing Dynasty" fell heavily on his shoulders.
I want to go back to Tianjing City, to the palace where the undercurrent is surging, and on the eve of the Tianjing Incident, I took Yang Xiuqing's hand reaching for the pinnacle of power and told him that internal strife will only bring pain to relatives and happiness to enemies; I want to stop Wei Changhui's blood-stained butcher knife and show him that those who fell under the knife were all brothers who had killed the enemy side by side with him;
I want to bury myself next to Yi Wang Shi Dakai and be an ordinary soldier in his tent, even if I can only hold a spear, and fight with him on the battlefield. I want to accompany him on the Western Expedition, watch him defeat the Hunan Army at Hukou, watch Zeng Guofan almost drown himself; I want to accompany him to fight in Jiangxi, watch him conquer more than fifty cities, watch the people eat pots of pulp to welcome the Taiping Army. Wu; I want to turn the wisdom of future generations into words of advice and tell him - tell him to be wary of the corruption of power, tell him to unite the kings, tell him to value people's livelihood, and tell him to guard against the Hunan Army's counterattack.
I thought, I want to turn the kingdom of heaven upside down.
