Saying that the officials force the people to rebel,
Each dynasty went through a process from prosperity to decay
With the incompetence of the monarch, the harshness of officials and taxes, and the lack of livelihood of the people everywhere, many places have formed rebel armies, such as the Dazexiang Uprising led by Chen Sheng and Wu Guang at the end of the Qin Dynasty, the Green Forest Chimei Uprising led by Liu Xiu at the end of the Western Han Dynasty, the Red Turban Army Uprising headed by Zhu Yuanzhang at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, and so on.
These rebel armies were large and small, successful but more than that, defeated. During the reign of Xianfeng at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were also
A very great peasant uprising, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement,
Although it ended in failure, there were many heroes in it.
Shi Dakai is one of them, and although he was defeated in the end, there is still a legend of him in history
。
Joined the rebel army and made many achievements
Shi Dakai, nicknamed Shi Dangdang, was born in 1831 and was born in Gui county, Guangxi. Shi Da kai family is a local is a large family, very rich,
But with the death of his father, the family fell into the middle of the road
。 When Shi Dakai was young, in addition to farming, he also did business to support his family.
Although I didn't earn much, I was also considered to be well-off at that time. Because he has been doing business since he was a child, Shi Dakai has shown maturity and stability that does not match his age.
He likes to make friends, especially some cheerful people,
With the leader of the Heaven and Earth Society at that time
Luo Gang, Zhang Zhao
There are close contacts, and also with
Workers and peasants on the other side of pingtian mountain often called each other brothers and brothers
, drink together.
In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang, Shi Dakai was 16 years old, when the officialdom was corrupt, the people's livelihood was difficult, and the leader of the anti-Qing uprising
Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan
He came to visit and wanted Shi Dakai to join their team. Remembering that since the monarchs of the Qing Dynasty began to faint, the peasants have never had a good life,
Shi Dakai resolutely agreed
and donate all the money in his family,
The workers and peasants he had befriended over the years participated in the Jintian Uprising
，
He was named "Wing King"
Under his leadership, the peasant army was like a bamboo, never defeated, shi Dakai
Repeated achievements.
At that time, as soon as he heard his name, the Qing army was frightened and defeated without a fight, which could be described as invincible and invincible.
During the period from the second year of Xianfeng to the sixth year of Xianfeng, Shi Dakai led the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to win one difficult battle after another. However, as the battles were successful, some of the team leaders who suddenly had power and money began to warm up their lusts.
Shi Dakai is contaminated from different streams
He was honest and strict, and helped the poor
And formulated national rules such as the tax law, so that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom really began to look like a country.
Because of strict military discipline and love for the people, his army never took a point from the masses, the people believed more and more in Shi Dakai, and many people who were originally very prejudiced against him turned to the Taiping Army.
His ranks expanded from more than 10,000 to more than 100,000
Even the Qing Government sighed: "The people's hearts have gone." "But it is such a good leader,
But because of a wrong decision
He lost a large number of his elite soldiers in the battle of Baoqing, which was dispensable.
Leaving Tianjing, he decided to march into Sichuan and Shu
In 1856, infighting broke out within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Yang Xiuqing, the Eastern King, was killed by Wei Changhui, the King of the North, and Shi Dakai rushed back to stop it after hearing about it, but it was too late.
Wei Changhui tried to kill Shi Dakai
Shi Dakai, who heard the news, had to flee overnight, and after that,
He raised an army in Anhui
, asking the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan to kill the Northern King.
Hong Xiuquan was jealous of Shi Dakai's power and agreed to him. It was also this move that made Shi Dakai's prestige and influence in the army noticed by Hong Xiuquan, and even more so later
It has become a thorn in Hong Xiuquan's eye, and he wants to get rid of it quickly
。 Under Hong Xiuquan's embarrassment, Shi Dakai was helpless
Leading more than 100,000 elite divisions, they ran away in anger and decided to go it alone
However, since breaking away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the troops led by Shi Dakai have been suppressed everywhere, and it is not as simple as he imagined.
Instead, they are often beaten passively
Moreover, he began to work alone, just in line with the strategy of dividing the encirclement and destroying the Xiang army.
In 1857, Shi Dakai's Jiangxi base area was almost unsafe, and he rushed to lead a large army south in an attempt to save it, but his troops were not
Good at fighting in the water
After 3 months of hard fighting in Ganjiang, there was no progress, and he had no choice but to change his strategy and decide
Attack Zhejiang, Jiangsu, and Fujian
, using these three places as their new base.
However, he began to do it alone, except for the soldiers and generals who followed him,
Nothing else, let alone any support
, in order to reduce casualties,
He had to be careful in each battle
As soon as there is a sign of failure, stop the attack immediately. In this trend, his troops retreated in defeat after defeat, and finally lost all the bases he had worked so hard to build.
No base is equal to no soul, Shi Dakai thought about it for a long time,
Decided to change the direction of the march and enter Sichuan
。 First go to Sichuan to reorganize the army, and then make a comeback. He quickly drew up the route,
First kill into Hunan and Hubei,
Guard the Eastern Gate and finally enter the land of Sichuan and Shu.
In the Battle of Baoqing, the entire army was destroyed
Marching into Hunan is only to borrow the road, not to capture this city, because the main force of the Qing army was not here at that time, Shi Dakai fought all the way very smoothly, morale soared, if he won the battle and then rushed out, he would not have any casualties.
However, he began to fall in love with war and decided to stay and attack Shaoyang, which was Baoqing at that time
This strategy shocked many people, and many of the generals around him were persuading him to give up because
Baoqing was not the target of his campaign, he only borrowed the road
, Baoqing is really dispensable. However, Shi Dakai did not give up. In 1859, Shi Dakai attacked Baoqing in three ways, and the troops stationed in Baoqing at that time were basically miscellaneous troops, if Shi Dakai insisted on attacking,
A quick battle and a quick decision can be over.
But he didn't think about it that way, and he made another mistake.
In order to reduce the casualties of his own soldiers, he fought a protracted war in an attempt to trap the defenders.
Obsessed with war, he did not remember,
I have no backup,
The grain and grass in the army are all taken directly from the local area, and the rescue troops of the defenders will attack at any time, and the general of the Hundred Battles will not be able to break away from the large troops.
Later, the Qing general Li Xuyi led troops to support,
Shi Dakai was completely defeated, and 60,000 elites were killed on the battlefield.
The god of war, Shi Dakai, also completely lost his prestige and was defeated.
Shi Dakai had no divine aura, had become a climate, and could not set off great waves, although later he regrouped,
Some soldiers were pulled, but they were all rabble-rousers, not big weapons
。 In the final analysis, what completely opened up Shi Dakai's demise?
From his excessive prestige in the army at that time, we can also see a hint,
Coupled with Hong Xiuquan's distrust, the loss of all reinforcements, coupled with the fact that he was separated from the large troops, he began to become afraid
These were the reasons why he began to fail, and this completely unnecessary battle of Baoqing pushed him into a place of no return, Shi Dakai was completely defeated, and then he was directly killed by the Qing army.
