When it comes to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, "Wing King Shi Dakai" is definitely a existence that people cannot ignore. He joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the age of sixteen and performed many miraculous feats. In fact, Shi Dakai, from a young age, had a bumpy fate and was lost at an early age, as the saying goes, the children of the poor family have long been in charge, and they have become the top pillar of the family at a young age.
The family is poor, he can only spend a little care to do some business to subsidize the family, he is active, more and more skilled in business dealings, he is becoming more and more mature, and he also understands a lot of people's sophistication, you know, at that time he was only fourteen years old.
Later, the business became more and more active, and he went north and south, wandering everywhere. Accumulate insights and broaden your circle of friends. Hong Xiuquan is one of them. Hong Xiuquan asked him to work together to overthrow the Qing Dynasty. He was also brutally oppressed by the feudal dynasty since he was a child, and when he heard Hong Xiuquan's proposal, he immediately agreed and used all his family property to recruit soldiers.
Because of his bravery and boldness, Hong Xiuquan also valued him and directly named him the Wing King. He was only sixteen years old at the time, his mind was quick, his talent was outstanding, and three years later he became the leader of the eight directions, which can be described as a young and promising.
After the establishment of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, many people fell into a state of "fluttering", only Shi Dakai, who did not forget his original intention, was not arrogant or impatient, treated the warriors kindly, and looked at success with a peaceful heart.
It is said that when he was in his twenties, he fought with Zeng Guofan several times, and he was always able to obey zeng guofan's uniform, and Zeng Guofan repeatedly became his defeated general. His great achievements in creating three times not only made his reputation in the army famous, but even those who came after him could not help but sigh "no ancients before, no one after him." However, such a young and promising teenager, the final ending is lamentable.
By the late stage of the development of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, several leaders could not resist chasing fame and profit, and they were dissatisfied with each other. Finally, in 1856, the Tianjing Incident occurred. Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King, because he was arrogant and arrogant, wanted to be a veritable leader of the Heavenly Kingdom, usually innocently blamed his subordinates, accumulated over time, and finally the contradiction between him and the Heavenly King, the Northern King, King Yan, became more and more acute. Civil unrest began, and later the Eastern King Of Yan, the Northern King, was eventually defeated and killed.
Shi Dakai was a little confused at this time, and wanted to lead his team to find a foothold, but the search was fruitless. Finally, he tossed and turned, and came to Chengdu to prepare for his stay. Wait until you're stable, and then do the follow-up. But I didn't expect that on the way to Chengdu, danger was quietly coming.
When they arrived at the Dadu River, heavy rain fell from the sky, and the Dadu River launched a large flood, which directly blocked the way forward of Shi Dakai and his party. But at this time, the Qing army was ambushing here, preparing for a surprise attack. At this moment, Shi Dakai knew that his limit was approaching. The generals had thought of fighting to the death together, maybe there was a glimmer of life, but Shi Dakai knew that this was just a pebble hitting the stone and doing a useless struggle, so he simply surrendered.
Before surrendering, he had only one request, that is, he hoped that Luo Bingzhang, the leader of the Qing army, could exchange his life for the safety of the soldiers. Although Luo Bingzhang admired his fearless spirit.
But how could he really let the tiger return to the mountain, only by pretending to agree to let Shi Dakai surrender first. Then, after Shi Dakai surrendered his blade, Luo Bingzhang immediately ordered his subordinates to secretly kill all of Shi Dakai's team, leaving no one behind. There is no credibility at all.
And Shi Dakai still believed that Luo Bingzhang would keep his promise to give his soldiers a way to live, so he never resisted. Luo Bingzhang was even more ruthless and ruthless, not only killing Shi Dakai's men without faith, but also imposing the harshest criminal law on Shi Dakai- Ling Chi.
Shi Dakai had a righteous face and endured more than 3,000 knives alive, until he finally lost consciousness completely, and he never said a word. He was only thirty-two years old at the time of his death. Just as the so-called hero of the times, the man with the iron bone can fully appear on Shi Dakai's body.
But do you think Luo Bingzhang's cruelty stops here? In order to burn the weeds to the ground, he immediately asked someone to capture Shi Dakai's five-year-old son, Shi Dingzhong. As the son of a "traitor", what should happen to a five-year-old child? Why would he not cry and laugh when he heard that his father had gone on the road?
A five-year-old child knows nothing about life and death, but only knows that he is afraid of imprisoning him without seeing his father. According to the law of the Qing Dynasty, a son of a traitor could not be killed before he reached the age of ten, but could only be castrated temporarily, and waited until he was ten years old to be disposed of as usual. Luo Bingzhang also waited until Shi Dingzhong became an adult according to the law before executing Ling Chi's punishment.
It is said that Shi Dingzhong asked himself every day when he would see his father again, and when he heard that his father had "hit the road", he could also follow him on the road soon after, and he laughed happily.
Conclusion: Five-year-old children do not know how to "go on the road", Xu thinks that he can see his father and shows an innocent and natural laugh. Others said that when he heard that his father had gone on the road, he laughed instead of sorrow. It was because as Shi Dakai's son, he had a kind of arrogance in his bones that ordinary people did not have, and he also had to be as upright as his father.
How innocent is a five-year-old. In the end, it is not known how Shi Dingzhong died, and the people have their own arguments. It's just that such a child was born in that era and people not only pity.
