The long river of history is running endlessly, there are calm waves, there are also waves, let Xiaobian take you into history and understand history.
In 1943, Hong Xiuquan's Cult of God was established, and this feudal superstition method also succeeded in inducing the starved people at that time to join the religion and began the road to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. At that time, the Qing Dynasty was full of corruption, the upper layers defended their own interests, while the people at the bottom were mostly oppressed, and it was normal to starve people to death every day. Therefore, after The Hong Xiuquan Uprising, he quickly got the response of the people and quickly laid down most of the country, which surprised Hong Xiuquan, who was not even able to pass the examination, and it was too smooth.
However, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established its capital in Nanjing in 1953, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom quickly went to its demise, and the most critical battle to declare the demise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was the Battle of Xuehuatai by Liu Xiucheng and the Qing army. At that time, the Qing army was the 30,000 Xiang army led by Zeng Guoquan against Li Xiucheng's 300,000 troops, but because of the epidemic, Zeng Guoquan's troops were killed and wounded mostly, that is, about 10,000 combat strength, but even with such a huge disparity in combat strength, the Taiping Army lost. It can be said that Li Xiucheng's most faceless battle, 300,000 Taiping Army was bloodied by 10,000 Xiang Army, which surprised people, why?
At that time, Hong Xiuquan was sitting in Nanjing, "the revolution has not yet succeeded", but Hong Xiuquan began to work hard to enjoy, drunk all day, enjoying the service of harem beauties. Therefore, when the other Lu Xiang armies were directly approaching Nanjing, Hong Xiuquan began to be afraid, so he kept asking Li Xiucheng to come back to defend, and Liu Xiucheng had no choice but to bring some people back to the defense, so it also led to the delay of the war situation, and the larger the army, the more it was unaffordable.
Secondly, the Xiang Army's defensive ability was very strong, most of them were highly concentrated camps, and all kinds of traps and poisonous smoke were heavily shelled by the Xiang Army when the Taiping Army launched an attack. Moreover, the Xiang army knew that they were almost dead, so they stubbornly resisted, and finally let the Taiping Army attack several times without results.
On the other hand, the morale of the Taiping Army was much worse, and the reason why people joined the Taiping Army was mainly because they could not live a life. However, before the Qing court was defeated, some of Hong Xiuquan's high-level officials began to indulge in enjoyment, and Hong Xiuquan, the heavenly king, followed the Qing court system to establish the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and established a huge harem, and began to indulge in enjoyment, while the people at the bottom had almost nothing. This has also made most of the people at the bottom have begun to question whether they are paying to build another Qing Dynasty, so what are they desperately doing, and the morale is much worse.
Well, today's sharing ends here, and we'll see you next time
