After Yang Xiuqing commanded the Taiping Army to defeat the Qing army's Jiangnan camp, he combined church power, military power, and political power into one, and became the essential leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but he was killed in the "Tianjing Incident" and his family was also slaughtered, the most fundamental reason was that Yang Xiuqing's desire for power had expanded sharply, and he wanted to be a long live of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, causing Hong Xiuquan to be dissatisfied, and then being killed.
Why can't Yang Xiuqing, who combines military power, religious power, and political power, not be able to withstand Hong Xiuquan?
Before the "Tianjing Incident", Yang Xiuqing's influence in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was extremely great, and at the same time he was in charge of the actual military power, which can be said to have prestige and prestige, power and power, and soldiers and soldiers, so why was he killed in the Tianjing Incident? The specific reasons are as follows.
1. The desire for power is inflated, there is no one in sight, pride and arrogance, and the kings are jealous.
Yang Xiuqing relied on his military feats in breaking through the Qing army's Jiangnan camp, and his prestige in Tianping Tianguo suddenly increased rapidly, becoming the actual leader (first leader) of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and as Yang Xiuqing took over the military power, he began to engage in factional struggles within the Taiping Army, using the power in his hands to exclude dissidents, Yang Xiuqing's actions were hated by other kings of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, laying the groundwork for the Tianjing Incident.
2. Hong Xiuquan secretly ordered the dispatch of troops, and Yang Xiuqing was caught off guard.
Yang Xiuqing was very dissatisfied with Hong Xiuquan's "nine thousand years old" and thought that he should be called "long live", this matter was informed by the head of the inner court of the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom on the grounds of "usurpation", and Hong Xiuquan therefore issued a secret edict to Wei Changhui, asking him to secretly enter beijing to kill Yang Xiuqing.
3. Yang Xiuqing was unconscious ideologically, and Hong Xiuquan joined forces with the kings to kill him.
When Yang Xiuqing was killed, he had no strength to resist at all, the main reason was that he did not realize ideologically that Hong Xiuquan would unite with Wei Changhui and other kings to kill him, and Yang Xiuqing had always been immersed in "being proud of himself" and "giving up who I was", so when the disaster of killing himself came, he was unaware of it, and ideological arrogance was the fundamental reason for Yang Xiuqing's failure.
