The only emperor to be delayed: his limbs were nailed to an ox cart, cut with 1516 knives, and died at the age of 16
When it comes to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, we probably know that it was established in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Qing government was corrupt and decayed, Hong Xiuquan rose up, the people of the whole country responded positively, and soon became the feared team of the Qing army, but the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom was suppressed after its establishment, and the second generation of emperors was ruthlessly sentenced to death.
What's going on? At that time, Hong Xiuquan, who saved tens of thousands of people in the midst of water and fire, was famous throughout the country, and after he established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he actively reformed and won the hearts of the people. But this Hong Xiuquan seems to be a bit godless, and his son Hong Tianguifu did not learn any way to govern the country, but learned the skill of jumping the big god.
It is said that this Hong Xiuquan can also be regarded as spoiling this young lord, and when he was nine years old, he married a four-room daughter-in-law. And past history tells us that pleasure destroys people. It is in such a pampered environment that Hong Xiuquan connived at his son like this, and even if the country and mountains are stable, they will probably be in danger.
In 1864 AD, a generation of heroes Hong Xiuquan withdrew from the stage of history, and he was naturally replaced by Hong Tianguifu, known in history as the Young Heavenly King. However, the real rulers in the imperial court were Hong Renfa the Prince of Faith, Hong Renda the Prince of Yong, Xiao Youhe the King of Youxi, and Shen Gui, a native of Shexian County, Anhui, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at this time could be said to be thinning the Western Mountains.
On July 19, 1864 of the same year, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom army went to war with the Qing army, which unfortunately ended in defeat. This emperor Hong Tianguifu, who had only been in the air for a month, had not yet warmed up the seat of the dragon chair, and he was not allowed to begin a life of displacement and exile. Because the Qing government took advantage of the void and began to massacre in Tianjing, it is said that among the Tianping army that was captured, all women were riding wooden donkeys in the streets, and then Ling Chi was executed.
At this time, another historical figure appeared, that is, Li Xiucheng. In order to cover the young heavenly king out of the city, he and his soldiers dressed up as the appearance of the Qing army, but the two rooms were fighting, Li Xiucheng was also desperate to take risks, and the maid himself used as bait to cover the safe evacuation of the young heavenly king, but also to survive in the cracks, Hong Tianguifu was hiding in Tibet every day.
Fortunately, Hong Tianguifu and his party fled to a remote village and were taken in by a local farmer, because at this time, Hong Tianguifu looked like a beggar. But we also know that nature is difficult to change, this Hong Tianguifu used to be clothed to stretch out his hands, food to open his mouth.
Such a pampered young lord, where to know how to be grateful, not to mention when he heard that the farmer asked him to do farm work, he was reluctant, which naturally also gave the eviction order. To say that this Hong Tianguifu is also too ignorant of current affairs, people are kind enough to take it in, but they do not know that the eldest husband can bend and stretch, and he is still immersed in his own emperor's dream.
No, as soon as they went out, they were captured alive by the Qing Dynasty people, and then they were sent to Nanchang for interrogation. According to historical records, at that time, it was the Qing Dynasty minister Shen Baozhen who was in charge of the trial, and through the summary of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, it can be said that Hong Tianguifu undertook all the things his father did, and was sentenced to a long and late result by the Qing Dynasty, that is, to cut him with a thousand knives.
To explain this result in Shen Baozhen's words, although this Hong Tianguifu was only 16 years old, it was reasonable to say that he should not be sentenced to such a big sentence, but who let his father be called Hong Xiuquan. This Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always been a thorn in the eyes of the Qing Dynasty, and Hong Tianguifu can also be regarded as "father's debt repayment", and in addition, let the remnants of those Tianping army destroy the idea of revenge.
It is said that before the implementation of the criminal law, Hong Tianguifu was also nailed alive on an ox cart and began to parade and patrol the streets, which also warned the people of the fate of rebellion. At such a young age, he was delayed by 1516 knives, and such an ending was also lamentable.
But then again, since the defeat of the king in ancient times, the decline of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was also doomed to the tragedy of Hong Tianguifu. Looking at the entire imperial history, the emperor who was executed by such a lingchi, except for Hong Tianguifu, did not have a second place, right?
