  Yang Xiuqing Information
Yang Xiuqing (Chinese 杨秀清, Wade-Giles Yang Hsiu-Ch'ing), (died September 2/3, 1856), organizer and commander-in-chief of the Taiping Rebellion.
Yang was a salesman of firewood in Guangxi province before he joined the rebellion.
Yang clashed with Hong over the rebellion's policies and views toward Confucianism and iconoclasm; Yang believed that Confucian morality was essentially positive and that its basic tenets were compatible with the rebellion's interpretation of Christianity and that images of dragons were not sacrilegious.

 [No title]
Yang, who is also now recognized as the younger brother of Jesus, has added to his title those of "Comforter" and "Wind of the Holy Spirit." 6 Within the city walls of Nanjing it was becoming increasing difficult to enforce certain aspects of the Taiping program.
It is Yang who now decides which of the former God-worshipers have violated the laws of Heaven and must meet their end as "lighted heavenly lanterns."7 He has also assumed a more active and prominent role in the military campaigns of the Taiping.
Yang questions why he remains the "Lord of Nine Thousand Years" while Hong is still the "Lord of Ten Thousand Years." Pursuant of a title change, Yang sends Hong's most loyal supporters to various fronts outside Nanjing and in their absence expresses to Hong that he would like an equal title.

Yang Xiuqing, a Hakka from Guiping whose family was originally registered in Guangdong,[31] has been identified as a key member[32] responsible, some have argued, for important aspects of the Taiping ideology which much increased its mass appeal.
The underlying explanation for the affair is said to be the ambition of Yang Xiuqing to succeed the increasingly isolated Hong Xiuquan.
Yang demanded that Hong be punished for flogging one of the female officers of the Taiping court.

 Blood In The Snows (Reply to Wang Lixiong) | Friends of Tibet (INDIA) Data-Base
The leader of the Taiping Rebellion Hong Xiuquan, from rural Guangxi, was said to be the Son of God and the younger brother of Jesus Christ.
His illiterate disciple, Yang Xiuqing, claimed to have spoken with the Holy Ghost while in a trance.
Wang is surely familiar with the heroic status attributed to such psychotic figures as Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing within Chinese national narratives — their promotion to the pantheon of modern revolutionary heroes.

 weller resistance and control excerpt
Yang and Xiao, often speaking with their divine voices, played a crucial role in editing even the most key texts, including Hong's own description and interpretation of his original dream vision.
Yang thus came to dominate communication with Heaven through techniques that no longer involved large numbers of followers or any of the enthusiasm of possession, but that allowed him to claim final authority on any issue (Xing, 1981; Wang, 1985:222-223).
Yang's final act of possessed hubris came in 1856, when God announced that Yang should be addressed as wansui (Ten Thousand Years), a term that had been reserved for Hong and that traditionally had honored the Emperor alone.

Yang organized the Taiping army and also developed a massive system to spy on the Taiping followers.
He went into a series of trances, in which he claimed to speak as the mouthpiece of the Lord, an accomplishment confirmed by his seeming ability to reveal traitors to the Taiping cause and confront them with the details of their treason.
Under Yang's direction, the Taipings advanced northward until in 1853 they took the large east central city of Nanking and made it their capital.

The Voice of God, however, Yang Xiuqing, continued to relay rather sound divine guidance until his murder in 1856.
The problem was that, as a source of continuing revelation, his position was gradually eclipsing that of the Heavenly King Hong himself.

A self-centered view patterned after the rulers of the Middle Kingdom (China), as reflected in the Taipings' receptions of the emissaries from Britain, France and the U.S. Despite the Taiping embrace of the universal religion of Christianity, they conducted their foreign policies in an amazingly similar manner to the Manchu court.
