"Yang Whip generously to zhongyuan, not for the sake of qiu yan and not for grace." He only hates the sky and wants to save yuanyuan with his bare hands. The three armies win the horse with sorrow, and the mountains are like sick apes. I am suffering from my inability to become an adult, and there are cries everywhere in the southeast. ”
As stated in the poem, the young man is determined to recover the Central Plains, how to be dim in the sky, the times are not lucky, portraying a hero helpless in the face of fate for the world. The scene in the poem, just like the fate of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, once shook the world, and finally failed.
When mentioning the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the first thing that comes to mind is Hong Xiuquan, who, as the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is still his iconic figure. The world only knows that Hong Xiuquan led the successful uprising, but it is not clear that behind Hong Xiuquan, there are countless great heroes, and Shi Dakai, who is a young and handsome man, is the primary hero of Hong Xiuquan's establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
As we all know, Shi Dakai was the first general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, who once defeated the Qing army and made great achievements for the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Shi Dakai, as the most distinctive figure in modern times, his ending is also very tragic, after he was captured, how did the Qing army treat him?
First, young people became famous, and heroes turned out to be born
Shi Dakai, as the most legendary person in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, is fundamentally different from Hong Xiuquan, Yang Xiuqing and others. Hong Xiuquan and other people claimed to revolt, but in fact, they were for their own selfish interests, and then realized their dream of being a ruler.
On the contrary, Shi Dakai was a real rebel, he longed to establish a new dynasty that would not be bullied by others, and the dynasty in his heart was completely different from the Qing Dynasty, and it was by no means a copy of the Qing Dynasty.
Shi Dakai, as one of the backbone generals in the early Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was also the youngest general. Shi Dakai came out of the mountains at the age of 16, joined the peasant uprising, became famous at the age of 19, became a marshal in charge of thousands of troops and horses, and by the time Shi Dakai was 20 years old, he had become the prince and general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Compared with others, Shi Dakai's ability is absolutely outstanding.
During the period when Shi Dakai occupied Anhui, he vigorously developed the people's power in the Anhui region and turned the Anhui region into a demonstration area of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In the Anhui region, the people have household registrations, fields, and everything they need to survive. Shi Dakai not only had to kill the enemy bravely at the front, but after returning to the rear, Shi Dakai also had to appease the people and calm the panic in the hearts of the people.
Shi Dakai, as a well-known local young talent, came out of the mountains at the age of 16, and in just three years, Shi Dakai grew into an excellent commander who shocked the world, which shows that Shi Dakai is talented in the world.
Shi Dakai's talent is not only reflected in the governance of people's livelihood, but also in the battlefield. Shi Dakai on the battlefield can be described as an amazing strategy, always leading the Taiping Army to victory again and again. Under the leadership of Shi Dakai, the Taiping Army was invincible, and it could be said that it was invincible and unmatched.
It can be said that the fate of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is closely related to Shi Dakai. From the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the final quiet collapse, the rise and fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was completely linked to Shi Dakai.
The early uprising was successful, Shi Dakai was the most powerful, and in the later period, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom collapsed, all because of the loss of Shi Dakai. At that time, the situation was very clear, in short: Shi Dakai was there, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was there, Shi Dakai was dead, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was dead.
Second, the kingdom of heaven is in decline, and the hero is running away
After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom achieved a certain victory, contradictions arose within him, because this contradiction of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also laid hidden dangers for the collapse of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. According to the analysis of many historians, the decline of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began with the famous "Tianjing Incident".
After the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan proclaimed himself the Heavenly King, and Yang Xiuqing was called the Eastern King. With the development of the situation, Yang Xiuqing showed a posture of replacing it, and Yang Xiuqing always took advantage of the high-level meeting of the Taiping Army to stage a ghostly upper body drama.
Only to see Yang Xiuqing tremble and foam at the mouth, and then speak in the tone of Heavenly Father. Yang Xiuqing, who pretended to be possessed by his Heavenly Father, asked Hong Xiuquan: "The Eastern King has worked hard and done a lot of work, why is it only the Eastern King?" ”
Hong Xiuquan knew Yang Xiuqing's trick, but considering that everyone was present, he showed a look of deep conviction, and then Hong Xiuquan said: "The Eastern King is the greatest and is also the Heavenly King." Yang Xiuqing listened, and as his body shook again, he returned to his original form.
Hong Xiuquan was very clear about Yang Xiuqing's purpose, and then Hong Xiuquan secretly summoned Wei Changhui to kill Dongwang and others, and it was reported that this civil unrest caused the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to lose more than 20,000 people.
After the death of Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King, Hong Xiuquan's rule was in urgent need of excellent management talents, so he transferred Shi Dakai, who was leading troops abroad. After Shi Dakai returned, Hong Xiuquan rewarded him in a big way, and for a time, Shi Dakai's status was unmatched.
However, with the long-term relationship, Hong Xiuquan found that this person was too capable and had a very high prestige among the people, so Hong Xiuquan made various suspicions about Shi Dakai, and finally forced Shi Dakai away. Shi Dakai took this away and took all his elites with him, and at this moment, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was no longer as good as it was then.
Third, the genius is jealous, and the hero will finally end
After Shi Dakai left with negative qi, he has been in a state of turmoil and displacement. Among them, Shi Dakai led his troops to engage in many battles with the Qing army, and once again defeated the Qing army, and even a generation of famous generals Zeng Guofan almost committed suicide in the shadow of Shi Dakai.
In 1863, Shi Dakai advanced alone into the Dadu River, and when they reached the Dadu River, they encountered extreme weather, with continuous storms and rain, and surrounded by Qing troops on both sides. Subsequently, Shi Dakai was tightly surrounded by Qing troops, and in order to ensure the lives of his brothers, Shi Dakai chose to surrender.
The Capricious Qing court tricked Shi Dakai, and eventually, a generation of famous generals died under the qing court's butcher's knife.
After Shi Dakai was captured, the Qing court threatened to induce him, but Shi Dakai insisted on not surrendering. Eventually, the Qing court escorted Shi Dakai to the streets and sentenced Him to death. The Qing army used a knife to cut Shi Dakai's flesh alive, and the Qing army separated more than a hundred knives, and Shi Dakai never said a word until he died.
What exactly is the reason? Let Shi Dakai persist for so long?
The tenacity displayed by Shi Dakai when he went to his death was enough to shock everyone on the spot, and even the Qing army that was executed at that time was frightened by Shi Dakai's bravery. Everyone in the world knows that Shi Dakai's strategy is amazing, but they don't know that Shi Dakai is so strong.
After Shi Dakai's death, the Qing court was relieved, but not long after, the Qing court sent special people to collect Shi Dakai's body and erect a monument for Shi Dakai. It can be seen from this that Shi Dakai's actions in his death have deeply stung the hearts of the Qing rulers.
epilogue:
As a famous general in the modern period, Shi Dakai has the talent of the heavens and the earth, and the rise and fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is entirely dependent on Shi Dakai. How fortunately, Shi Dakai met Hong Xiuquan and encountered a rainy day that was rare in a hundred years.
If there had been no Tianjing Incident, no suspicion of the king, no negative anger to leave, what would the situation have been like at that time? What is certain is that if Shi Dakai had not gone deep alone, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would never have had such a bleak end. It was precisely because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was scattered that the Qing court found an opportunity to take advantage of it.
Objectively speaking, Shi Dakai's departure was also a fatal blow to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, directly pushing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the target of everyone, and the former monolithic Taiping Heavenly Kingdom no longer existed. Because of the ideological limitations of the rulers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the limitations of the peasant revolt, it also determined the outcome of the final collapse of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to a certain extent.
Looking at the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, there are too many factors that must be defeated. Among the many leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, including Hong Xiuquan, they were all copies of the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. At the beginning of the Taiping Rebellion, Hong Xiuquan and others divided the kings, and before they succeeded, the kings were already coveting glory and wealth for their own selfishness, and only Shi Dakai was truly for the people of the world.
Perhaps fundamentally, Shi Dakai has an essential difference in thinking from other people. Shi Dakai king Duan, other people surface gold Duan, in fact, bronze, the two are not on the same level at all, Shi Dakai and such a pit teammate together, how can not be defeated?
