The peasant rebel army launched a strong attack on the town, but the town was well fortified and could not be attacked for a long time. Just when the situation was critical, a teenager rushed out, and like a sharp blade, he quickly broke through the enemy's defense line and placed the explosives at the foot of the city wall. After the earth-shaking noise, the balance of victory instantly turned towards the peasant army.
Both parents were killed, and the officials were eliminated
In the seventeenth year of Daoguang, chen Yucheng, a young peasant general, came to life, and he was born in a poor peasant family. At that time, China was in turmoil, and the disintegration of the small-scale peasant economy deepened the contradiction between the self-sufficient peasant class and the landlord class that exploited the peasants. In this era, Chen Yucheng saw clearly the ugly face of the Qing government and the landlord class, and experienced suffering in the world. The landlords in Chen Yucheng's hometown colluded with the government to oppress and plunder the peasants. The peasants, who were already miserable, encountered natural disasters, which forced them to resist. In the face of tragic suffering, the toiling masses rallied together to refuse to pay taxes. At this time, the government revealed its cannibalistic side and threatened the poor with force, and Chen Yucheng's parents died under the knife of the officers and soldiers. The arrogance of the government, Chen Yucheng could only see hatred in his eyes, and the flame of resistance to oppression remained in his body. Chen Yucheng, who lost both parents, defected to his grandparents, and the two old men loved their little grandson very much, and they cut back on food and clothing to provide chen Yucheng with education. Chen Yucheng could not bear to let his grandparents suffer, so he went to herd cattle and help the landlord. With his own efforts and the help of his grandparents, Chen Yucheng spent his childhood.
In the first year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement broke out, and the hatred that had accumulated in Chen Yucheng's heart for many years broke out. Under the command of his uncle, Chen Yucheng set fire to the landlord's compound and killed the bullies who oppressed the township, and eventually Chen Yucheng defected to the rebel army driven by hatred.
Young hero, famous in Wuchang
Chen Yucheng joined the rebel team, he originally wanted to charge forward and kill the enemy bravely, but because of his age, he was incorporated into the boy camp and could only walk behind the team. But the boy camp did not limit Chen Yucheng's play, he got up early in the team, greedy, actively trained, sacrificed his life and forgot his death during combat, and was resolute and fearless. In this way, Chen Yucheng became a little hero in the boy camp, and soon he was appreciated by the famous general Luo Gang and became his bodyguard. Under the education of Luo Gang, Chen Yucheng began to dabble in the military, and he understood that to fight a war is not only to have courage but also to have a brain.
In the third year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established the capital of Tianjing. In order to break the Qing army's encirclement of the base camp, the upper leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom gathered their forces to carry out the Northern Expedition to the west. At the end of the year, the Western Expeditionary Army encountered obstacles, and The Hubei Inspector Qinglin insisted on holding Wuchang and made the Taiping Army suffer a lot. Chen Yucheng saw this situation and gave up the military merit that was about to arrive and marched toward Hubei. After arriving in Wuchang, he organized a death squad to prepare for a surprise attack on Wuchang City. During the battle, Chen Yucheng personally led five hundred elites to sneak up on the east of Wuchang City. After winning the battle, Chen Yucheng launched a psychological offensive to make the soldiers shout "Heavenly Soldiers Enter the City". The soldiers who defended the city thought that Wuchang had lost their defense and fled, so Chen Yucheng and the peripheral troops joined forces to easily take Wuchang City. In the Battle of Wuchang, Chen Yucheng's military talents were fully utilized by the high-ranking leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and many people were also amazed. After being rewarded by the Heavenly King, Chen Yucheng thanked Dade for being more loyal to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Officers and soldiers who fought hard bravely saved Zhenjiang
The great power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made the Qing government unable to sit still, and the Xianfeng Emperor ordered that the various localities should organize armies to garrison themselves. This order of the emperor led to the birth of the Xiang Army. In the fourth year of Xianfeng, the Xiang Army's marine division sent troops from Yuezhou to prepare to march into Jiujiang, Chen Yucheng was ordered to rush to fight the Xiang Army, and he organized a death squad like in Wuchang to plan a surprise victory. Although this strategy allowed Chen Yucheng to achieve some small victories, it could not suppress the offensive of the Xiang army. In desperation, Chen Yucheng retreated to Tianjia Town, and when Chen Yucheng engaged Zeng Guofan with the main force, the scheming Zeng Guofan secretly attacked his rear. Under self-blame, Chen Yucheng withdrew to Guangji.
In the fifth year of Xianfeng, the main force of the Xiang army and the main force of Shi Dakai were defeated and fled. At this time, Chen Yucheng seized the fighter and led his troops to counterattack and defeated the fleeing Xiang army. In the western battlefield, Lian Tianjing was victorious, but there was a problem, and the Jiangnan and Jiangbei battalions led troops to besiege Zhenjiang. In the sixth year of Xianfeng, Chen Yucheng arrived in Zhenjiang to meet Li Xiucheng and others. The situation is quite critical, and Zhenjiang can be captured at any time. Faced with such a situation, Chen Yucheng disregarded his personal safety and drove a leaf boat to break through the enemy's iron barrel siege. Chen Yucheng's bravery brought the troops inside and outside the city into contact, and finally the defender reinforcements launched a fierce attack to defeat the besieged enemy and solve the crisis in Zhenjiang. After this war, Chen Yucheng's reputation spread among the Qing army.
In the face of danger, he was ordered to stick to Anqing
In the sixth year of Xianfeng, the internal contradictions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom provoked the outbreak of a mutiny. Yang Xiuqing and Wei Changhui were killed one after another. Soon after, Shi Dakai was dissatisfied with the internal contradictions of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and led his troops to flee. After a series of events, no one was available within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. At this time, Hong Xiuquan used a number of young generals, including Chen Yucheng, who crowned Chen Yu as king and gave him military power. After being canonized, Chen Yucheng was even more dedicated, and he personally presided over the events of large and small military affairs without tiring. At the same time, the Qing government seized the weak period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and launched one attack after another. Under the crisis, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng joined hands to create battles left in history such as the re-battle of Jiangbei, the Great Victory of Sanhe, and the Qiao breaking of Liuhe, and lifted the crisis of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
In the ten years of Xianfeng, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Building will fall. Although the Taiping Army won a victory at Tongcheng, Anqing was still quite dangerous. Chen Yucheng quickly rushed to Anqing to organize a defense, but due to Li Xiucheng's failure to make a mistake, he could not counterattack as scheduled. The Taiping Army, which missed the opportunity, was quite passive, but Chen Yucheng was worthy of a generation of famous generals, and the Seamless Drilling position of Anqing made Zeng Guofan unable to attack for a long time. The angry and demoralized Zeng Guofan threw in heavy troops and prepared to fight Chen Yucheng, and anqing was already exhausted and the defense was quite difficult. In the eleventh year of Xianfeng, the Taiping Army, which had been at a disadvantage, was defeated by Zeng Guofan. The fall of Anqing, the important town of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, brought a huge blow to Chen Yucheng.
Risk your life, the hero returns to heaven
After the defeat of Chen Yucheng's army, he was vilified by the villains, and he was demoted and demoted. After the defeat, Chen Yucheng always wanted to find an opportunity to turn defeat into victory and make up for his mistakes.
In the first year of Tongzhi, Luzhou fell. Anhui Tuanjian Miao Peilin caught Chen Yucheng's psychological fraud in his eagerness to win. In order to reverse the situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Chen Yucheng went to Shouzhou and was arrested by Miao Peilin, and after being arrested, Chen Yucheng was bent on death. The Qing government, unable to persuade the surrender, took up the butcher knife and put it around the hero's neck, and in June of the same year, the twenty-six-year-old Chen Yucheng was righteous in Henan, and the pillar of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell again, and the defensive line of defense was lost again.
For us, Chen Yucheng can stick to his faith and die is worthy of our respect. Although he supported a house that was destined to collapse, he still stood firm in spite of the rain. Chen Yucheng is not fighting for himself, he is fighting for thousands of poor people. He did not want the blood and tears hatred he had experienced to be staged again and again on the land of China. He wanted the peasants to live a good life without being oppressed, so we called them peasant generals. If there is no oppression in the world, there is no exploitation of Chen Yucheng, perhaps a good young man who is immersed in hard reading. However, fate arranged for Chen Yucheng to cross the battlefield, making him an important fighting force in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Chen Yucheng was the patron saint of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and he wanted to protect the government that he thought was promising. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's army was defeated, he constantly blamed himself for trying to turn the tide. But Chen Yucheng has never understood that the defeat was not his fault but some people's nonsense, which made this promising country exhausted. As a peasant class, Chen Yucheng has the same limitations as Shi Dakai and Li Xiucheng. They were all foolishly loyal to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and did not discover the essence of this country. But Chen Yucheng, the king of England with the limitations of the peasant class, is still a hero in our hearts, he brought color to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and brought hope to the peasants. The fire that remained in the body of the British king at that time burned down the rule of the Qing government. King Chen Yucheng used his unremitting actions to tell modern people and tell the Qing government that "where is oppression!" Where there is resistance! The young man wielding a silver spear and riding a white horse left, and with him was the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that he had guarded all his life.
