Since ancient times, peasant uprisings have rarely succeeded, and many have begun to disintegrate from the inside before waiting for external pressure. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is a typical example of this. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qing government signed a series of traitorous treaties with foreign powers without any dignity. These treaties, without exception, all need to lose money, but the corruption of the Qing Dynasty has penetrated deep into the marrow, the treasury is empty, and the little silver left is not enough for the royal family to squander, especially Cixi, who wants her to take the money, and there is no door. So the Qing government began to look down and handed over the burden of indemnity to the people below, which formed a vicious chain.
Before the oppression, the people at the bottom could not even eat enough, and everywhere there were corpses, how could they withstand the oppression! Therefore, many people reported the mentality of desperately fighting to participate in the peasant uprising, the largest of which was the peasant uprising organized by Hong Xiuquan. Faced with the situation at that time, the Qing government could not resist at all, and the army had no ability to resist. Therefore, Hong Xiuquan and his party set out from Guangxi and did not suffer resistance from the Qing army.
After the Qing government reacted, Hong Xiuquan had already set the capital in Nanjing, and slowly the power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was increasing, and the Qing government was trying to deal with foreign powers at that time, and it did not have the energy to take care of them. But Hong Xiuquan they did not know that the destruction of an organization began from the inside, but after they settled down, the internal began to divide, everyone was fighting for power, and finally let the Qing government give the whole end, in fact, these are the ideas of later generations, but in fact, there was another person who ran out at that time.
He is Lai Hanying, a very insignificant person in this history, but he is Hong Xiuquan's brother-in-law, and Yang Xiuqing's death at that time was related to him. In this ordeal, he fled with Hong Xiuquan's family, he was the weiyi survivor of the entire Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he lived to the age of 96, before his death he said an unknown secret, he said that in fact, Yang Xiuqing's death had nothing to do with Hong Xiuquan, it was Wei Changhui's own fault. Despite the fact that many people have questions about this sentence, thinking that this is his whitewashing for himself, I don't know what the little friends think after reading this?
