In the middle and late Qing Dynasty, this dynasty was experiencing
''Kangqian''
After that, it inevitably went to decline, corruption, natural and man-made disasters, coupled with the brutal suppression of the Culture and flesh of the Han people. Since the Qing Dynasty unified the whole country, the uprising of the Han people has not stopped.
One of the largest uprisings was none
''Balance Heaven movement''
In this movement, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the early days because of its beautiful blueprint, so that many poor and lower-middle-class peasants yearn for, so this organization in the grass-roots combat effectiveness is very strong, all the way to attack the city strategically, at its peak even accounted for half of the Qing Dynasty.
However, since it was a peasant class uprising, it naturally had its limitations, which was embodied in the rapid corruption of this group of rebel leaders from the mountain villages after they captured Nanjing, and there were thousands of people who served the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan alone, not to mention the various kings who were like cattle hair.
The corruption of the ruling class, which also caused a regression in military strength. In stark contrast to the sharpness of the early Taiping Army, in the final Defense of Tianjing, Zeng Guoquan's lone army went deep and directly attacked the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but the Taiping Army, which claimed hundreds of thousands of people at that time, could not help this partial division.
In the end, this army of tens of thousands of people not only gained a foothold in Tianjing, but also broke through Tianjing, a battle that made the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom nominally destroyed, and it was only a matter of time before Huang Mao was destroyed, and the Qing Dynasty was renewed for decades. So the Balance Heavenly Kingdom was beaten so badly? There is a big deal in this.
Hong Xiuquan's brother was embarrassed
''The evil of the wall is hard for the gods to defend''
When Li Xiucheng was in Tianjing, he had smelled with a keen sense of smell that the Xiang army was likely to pounce on Tianjing, and he warned the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan that he must reserve enough grain to fight a protracted war. At this time, the two brothers of Hong Xiuquan, who were quite business-minded, Hong Renda and Hong Renfa issued orders: ''
If you want to buy grain, you must first get a flood ticket, if you want a flood ticket, you must buy money, and if you have no money and no ticket, if you buy grain outside, you have to pay heavy taxes. ''
It was this very chicken thief's order that did not know how many Taiping Army generals had broken their hearts. The Hongjia brothers' trick of making a fortune directly caused the Taiping Army to fall into a passive situation due to lack of food in the Tianjing Defense War, which also encouraged the Xiang army that heard the news, and the reconquest of Nanjing was just around the corner.
Hong Xiuquan's crappy command
To say that Hong Xiuquan's ability is not good to be honest as a mascot, he still does not do it, he has to make some of his own sons happy. After learning that the Xiang army had arrived at Yuhuatai, Hong Xiuquan began his immortal operation again, and he immediately issued an edict ordering Li Xiucheng, who was fighting in Shanghai, to rush to the aid of Tianjing.
As a relatively far-sighted person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he did not go to the rescue of Tianjing himself but sent a force back to defend. After all, the appearance of Xiangjun around Tianjing is also a common thing, and it is not strange to see it. In addition, he had also made suggestions to the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan before to store grain. Therefore, he believes that the defense of Tianjing is a protracted battle, so after stabilizing the eastern front, it is a more secure way to return to the division to rescue.
But Hong Xiuquan, who was running out of food, did not think so, so he issued several urgent edicts, urging Li Xiucheng to come back to save the car. There was no way, the Supreme Leader's orders could not be ignored, so Li Xiucheng gave up the advantage gained on the Eastern Front, and the Banshi returned to the Dynasty.
A large part of the 300,000 Taiping Army is a group of recruits, and this group of people are almost all displaced people, the Party, and the Qing Army's descendants, and this group of people is also a little skilled at bullying the people, and when they encounter those veterans who are experienced in combat, they can be directly split in half. If you want to rely on this group of inferior soldiers to fight with those veterans who have experienced many life-and-death battles, the end can be imagined.
Therefore, in the Tianjing Defense War, the Taiping Army not only had to face those veterans with swords when they did not have enough to eat, but also had to watch their own Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan fish and meat inside, and the psychological and physical imbalances made these fighters not burst out of the fighting power of the early stage of the uprising.
