Chu Yong was on the west bank, and the Taiping Army could retreat to the opposite east bank first, but the east bank was also complex and could contain a large number of ambushes, which was a risk that was more difficult to predict and control for the already troubled Taiping Army. Feng Yunshan could only continue to fight with all his strength on the west bank, and since Jiang Zhongyuan had already tightly bitten his opponent, he certainly refused to let go easily, and the two sides had been sawing for two consecutive days and nights.
Because the front team was unable to open up the situation for a long time, Hong Xiuquan led the rear team to help, jiang Zhongyuan saw the rear flag of the Taiping Army on the Lion Mountain and was ready to withdraw, just at this time, the cannon suddenly hit Feng Yunshan's ship, and Feng Yunshan was seriously injured again.
As Feng Yunshan lost his command ability and the fleet was in chaos, Hong Xiuquan had to order the abandonment of all ships and weights, and the whole army boarded the east bank. After Feng Yunshan was carried to the east bank, he soon died of his wounds, and Hong Xiuquan wept on the spot, saying: "Is it that God refuses to let me calm the world?" Why did you take away my virtuous auxiliaries so quickly? ”
Although Feng Yunshan was only crowned King of the South, after Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King, and Xiao Chaogui, the Western King, he was actually the core figure in the leadership of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has been brewing for several years, all of which are The plots of Feng Yunshan, as a leader, Hong Xiuquan is particularly dependent on it, and as long as he encounters difficulties, he must ask Feng Yunshan, and the resourceful Feng Yunshan can always solve the problem by one or two sentences, so that Hong Xiuquan can hardly leave him.
As early as the Zijing Mountains, Feng Yunshan's status and influence were unmatched, and the other leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui to Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai, were all pinched together by him and wholeheartedly supported him. Some researchers believe that if Feng Yunshan had not died in the Battle of Yidu, he could have continued to assist the Heavenly King, cut the Eastern King, and reconciled the kings, and the later Tianjing infighting might not have occurred.
Regarding Feng Yunshan's death, there has always been another theory that he was killed in battle during the attack on Jeonju, which has been gradually ruled out by researchers in recent years. The reason why there are different statements is largely related to the fact that Jiang Zhongyuan did not know that Feng Yunshan was dead at that time, and in the report afterwards, he did not mention anything about it, and the corresponding official books and even the local county records did not make corresponding records.
What Jiang Zhongyuan mentioned was mainly the two days and nights of fighting, capturing more than 300 ships and a large number of heavy loads, as well as greatly killing and injuring the elite of the Taiping Army. This is a fact, in the Battle of Ziyidu, the Taiping Army killed thousands of people, and most of the victims were the original Worshippers of God in the Bauhinia Mountains, who generally had the characteristics of being strong and good at war and loyal to the Heavenly Kingdom, and were a rare elite fire of the Taiping Army, and such a loss was difficult to make up for for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime.
