Introduction: At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the famous Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement almost overthrew the Qing Dynasty. Although the Taiping Rebellion ultimately failed, a large number of fierce generals emerged.
After Lin Fengxiang of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was captured, the Xianfeng Emperor took a look at him, why didn't he speak for half a day!
Lin Fengxiang, the commander of the Northern Expedition of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was a fierce general, who led 20,000 Northern Expeditionary Troops all the way north, and the overwhelming offensive directly reached the capital of the Qing Dynasty, Beijing. Unfortunately, the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was only one step away from success. Due to the large gap between the enemy and us and the delay in the arrival of reinforcements in the rear, Lin Fengxiang was captured by the Qing army
At that time, the Ruler of the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Xianfeng, saw Lin Fengxiang, the commander of the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom after being captured, and lamented his bravery of daring to go deep alone, but he was silent for half a day and did not say a word. What exactly was emanating from Lin Fengxiang's body, so that the Xianfeng Emperor watched him for half a day and finally stopped speaking? Throughout history, let's analyze Lin Fengxiang.
In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, due to the mutual exchange of officials and officials and the rampant corruption, the Qing government no longer had the greatness of the Prosperous And Prosperous Era. The people were oppressed by the Qing government, living in poverty, and the people of society were not happy. At this time, Hong Xiuquan, a fallen student, saw through the corruption and incompetence of the Qing Dynasty, no longer had hope for the imperial examination, and led the peasants to begin to rebel against the Qing government.
In Wuming, Guangxi Province, China, Lin Fengxiang, who was both literate and martial, heard that the leader of the rebel army, Hong Xiuquan, had launched an uprising in Jintian, and immediately signed up for the Taiping Army and served as the imperial forest guard of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. During the period when Hong Xiuquan's army was moving north, Lin Fengxiang became more and more courageous, conquering the Qing army one after another and taking Wuchang first. In the end, with his outstanding military achievements, he was successfully promoted to deputy prime minister.
When the Taiping Army attacked the city of Nanjing, Lin Fengxiang attacked Yifengmen and led the army to take Nanjing. At this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was officially established and the capital was Set in Nanjing, and Hong Xiuquan was the first ruler of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, due to the establishment of the country, the rulers began to forget their original intentions, began to covet happiness, built mansions in Nanjing, and robbed the women of the people, resulting in the scattered hearts of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Due to the disappointment of the rulers, Lin Fengxiang did not forget the original intention of the Qing government, so he called on the army, established the Northern Expeditionary Army, and continued to start the crusade against the Qing Dynasty.
In the early days of the Northern Expedition, Lin Fengxiang was extremely brave, relying on 20,000 elite soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to defeat the army led by the Qing general Li Kaifang. Along the way, Lin Fengxiang successively conquered Anhui, Henan, Shanxi and other regions. When Lin Fengxiang invaded the period of direct subordination, the Qing government was very panicked, and the Qing government officials in Beijing fled one after another, and even the ruler Xianfeng Emperor was ready to move the capital and flee back to the northeast of his hometown in Manchukuo.
There are all indications that the Qing Dynasty may be going to be. Eventually, in order to prevent the fall of the Qing Dynasty, the Xianfeng Emperor urgently ordered Jinyu the Prince of Hui, the monk Greenqin of Horqin, and others to lead troops to serve the king. At this time, Qing reinforcements from all over the country rushed to Beijing.
During the Northern Expedition, Lin Fengxiang's Taiping Army fought several battles in a row, and the front line was thousands of miles long, but because they were too long in wartime, the loss of troops was huge, and the grain and grass reserves were insufficient, the combat effectiveness of the soldiers began to decline sharply. Therefore, lin Fengxiang had little room to play in the process of facing the Qing army's heavy siege and blockade
Eventually, surrounded by the army of the Horqin king Monk Greenqin, the army led by Lin Fengxiang remained in the Lianzhen area. At this time, Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was living an aristocratic life in Nanjing, losing what he wanted from the Qing Dynasty. In the face of Lin Fengxiang's request for help, Hong Xiuquan perfunctorily reinforced thousands of people and horses to support. Unfortunately, due to the scattered personnel and improper management, these people did not even arrive in the town, and they were scattered by the Qing army on the way.
In the end, Lin Fengxiang in Lianzhen was really unable to support it, and because he was attacked by the enemy before and after, there was no reinforcement, and he was outnumbered, and he was shot by the Qing archers and captured. After Lin Fengxiang was captured, the Qing government tortured Lin Fengxiang in order to vent its anger, and after Lin Fengxiang left a testament to his own life and experience, the Qing government executed him.
Due to his hatred for the rebel general Lin Fengxiang, the Xianfeng Emperor personally went to Lin Fengxiang's road to the Noon Gate to watch Lin Fengxiang's expression. However, what surprised Lin Fengxiang very much was that Lin Fengxiang looked polite and polite, and his eyebrows were mixed with handsomeness, and he was very handsome, not the kind of fierce god and hateful person that the ministers said.
So after the Xianfeng Emperor returned to the palace, he kept silent and shut himself in the study to think silently. What exactly made such a good-looking and intelligent person go up to the mountain and become a coward, vowing to die to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. Thinking about it carefully, the Xianfeng Emperor's heart was very complicated.
When Lin Fengxiang was executed by Ling Chi, Lin Fengxiang did not fear at all, but on the contrary, he was sad that the revolution had not yet succeeded, but the leaders of the revolution had already indulged in red dust and lost their fighting style. With the death of Lin Fengxiang, infighting continued among the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the lives of those drunken fans not only made them give up their fighting spirit, but also caused internal struggles in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Along with internal and external troubles, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was soon served by the Qing Dynasty and disappeared on the stage of history.
