Hong Xiuquan was the heavenly king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the peasant revolt he led achieved many victories in the early stages, and also captured Nanjing and renamed Tianjing, establishing a complete system and policy, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom caused headaches for the Qing rulers, which also showed from the side that the Qing government had long been decayed and the oppression of the people was too deep, so the resistance of Hong Xiuquan and other peasant leaders was also in line with the will of the people.
Although Hong Xiuquan is indeed very talented, but since the capital of Tianjing he has gradually lost himself, seeing the rich and prosperous Jiangnan, Hong Xiuquan has long forgotten his original intention, only to know that he is obsessed with wine and pleasure, he is arrogant enough to be overwhelmed by victory, so he began to live luxuriously with other heavenly kings, drunk and dreaming of death, in order to build the Heavenly King's Palace, Hong Xiuquan built a lot of civil engineering and even demolished the houses of many people.
Because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had won many victories, so the internal struggle for power was also fragmented, Hong Xiuquan in order to stabilize the regime to calm the anger of the people, began to clean up the portal, so the generals who had followed him before xiao yong and good war had long been suspicious of each other, the Tianjing Incident had caused the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to collapse internally, so it began to retreat on the battlefield, and the Tianjing City eventually fell and was surrounded by Zeng Guofan, without foreign aid and food.
Although the water was already in full swing at this time, Hong Xiuquan was still very crazy, he thought that there would be heavenly soldiers who would help him in the future, still living in luxury, Hong Xiuquan's son had confessed after he was arrested, Hong Xiuquan had a total of eighty-eight wives and concubines, and when he was nine years old, Hong Xiuquan rewarded him with four wives, and after being besieged, Hong Xiuquan did not allow the people to flee the city, and after the water and food were cut off, he took the lead in lying on the ground eating weeds to fill his hunger, which made people unbelievable.
