Ancients Cloud: Gentleman's Ze, three generations and beheading, modern genetics also exists in gene dilution, the ancestral work to the grandson's generation, most of them have no connection. However, if we take this to say that Sun Yunzhong, a fierce general during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and his grandson Sun Wu, the founder of Xinhai, talked about things, it would not make any sense at all.
We know that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was aimed at overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty, which lasted 14 years, and the forces swept through eighteen provinces and cities, and finally failed because of their own reasons and the enemy's forces were too powerful, and after the collapse of the nest, there were eggs, and after the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty rushed to kill these "anti-thieves", and the generals of all sizes, especially the main generals of the later period, Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, and others, whether they surrendered voluntarily or laid down their weapons, were brutally tortured or executed, and at the same time It is also necessary to cut the grass and remove the roots, and no offspring can be left with the opportunity to overturn, so the descendants of the taiping heavenly kingdom generals have basically been swept away, and at first they were vigorous and the ending was miserable.
Of course, there are also a very few who have escaped to the village and escaped the disaster. Today we will introduce a general Sun Yunzhong, who followed Shi Dakai, Li Xiucheng, and Chen Yucheng in the southern expedition to the north, repeatedly built Qigong, and was named "Gan Tianyan" for his military merits, and the deeds of his grandson Sun Wu.
Sun Yunzhong, Zi Ganchen, Hubei Hanyang Xiakou Baiquan Township (now part of Wuhan Dongxihu District) people, its land is 17 kilometers away from the center of Wuhan City, there is a former residence sitting north facing south, divided into two halls, two halls, two sides for the box, the middle for the patio, when the Taiping Army first occupied Wuchang, he joined the Taiping Army, the "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom War History" recorded that his main battle achievement is the famous Three Rivers Victory.
In that year, after the outbreak of infighting in Tianjing in September 1856, the situation on the battlefield was sharply reversed, and the Xiang army seized this opportunity, because the strategic defense turned to an offensive, and then rebuilt the Jiangnan camp surrounding Tianjing, especially Li Xubin, an envoy of Zhejiang and a fierce general of the Xiang Army, led his troops to harvest lost ground and took advantage of the victory to attack Anhui, an important gateway to Tianjing, and the situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was extremely severe for a time.
At that time, Li Xubin's army was as strong as a bamboo, and in just one or two months, he connected to Taihu Lake, Qianshan, Tongcheng, Shucheng and other places in Anhui Province, and stationed elite troops in Sanhe Town, Luzhou, Anhui. Sanhe Town is a small town surrounded by rivers in the vast plain, leaning on the Fengle River in the north, the Xiaonan River and the Hangbu River crisscrossing the west and south, surrounded by a large area of polders, stretching endlessly, here was once the Granary of the Taiping Army to supply Tianjing, before the Taiping Army built fortifications here, the city wall was located on the north bank of the Xiaonanhe River with the narrowest river channel and the widest polder, and the Hangbu River and Fengle River in the east and north were wide, thinking that it was a natural danger. On the polders on the north and south banks of the Little South River, 9 brick forts were built, 7 on the south bank and 2 on the north bank. At this time, chen Yucheng, the defender of the Taiping Army, decided to annihilate Li Xubin, the commander of the Xiang Army, here, and the Battle of The Three Rivers broke out.
At this time, several Units of the Taiping Army encircled Li Xubin in Sanhe Town, and the company camped for tens of miles, and the Xiang Army's forward road was no way to retreat, and it fell into a comprehensive encirclement for a while, the grain and grass were exhausted, and finally desperately broke through, while the Taiping Army dug through the river embankment, flooded the three armies, the shells were damp, could not be fired, and finally completely collapsed, Zeng Guofan's brothers Guohua, Li Xubin, and Li Xuyi were all killed, all their generals were killed, and the elite of the Xiang Army were completely destroyed. Zeng Guopan said bitterly, "After the rout of the Three Rivers, the vitality was exhausted, and the elite of the four years of entanglement was overthrown, and the talent who dared to fight and the man who was wise and resourceful also withered away."
The Taiping Army harvested a lot in this battle, and the red and blue tops (official hats) of the Xiang Army alone were loaded with dozens of baskets, which was the biggest victory since the infighting in Tianjing, and it could be described as a timely Ganlin that nourished the hearts of all the soldiers, boosted morale in a short period of time, and stabilized the situation. To this end, The Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan decided to reward meritorious deeds and promote a number of meritorious personnel on the battlefield. Among them, Sun Yunzhong was awarded the title of Gan Tianyan for his bravery in battle, Yan is a kind of knighthood, marquis after the Taiping Heavenly King, "Yan" is the fifth rank marquis, at that time, Hong Xiuquan has not yet been badly crowned as a prince, this Gan Tianyan is already a high rank.
The taiping heavenly kingdom military attaché system, under the king, is divided into five grades, for Fu, An, Shou, Yu, and Yan. Below the fifth rank are the Heavenly Generals, Yifu, An, Shou, Yu, Yan, and the Duke of Judah. The King of England initially sealed Tianfu and used his name "Cheng" (玉成) as the crown, and Sun Ganchen's title of Gan Tianyan was also crowned with the character "Gan".
Later, Sun Yunzhong participated in a series of battles in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and according to his later explanations to his descendants, when the Xiang Army's southern Luo Ze and the Taiping Army fought in the Battle of Wuchang, the Taiping Army attacked Luobu for more than 10 days, without any size progress. The Taiping Army recruited soldiers heavily, and each soldier gave 360 bronze coins per day. The number of applicants, more than 10,000 men and women, the vast majority of whom are Hubei Xingguo people. Subsequently, "the Xingguo people fought the former enemy, and the Taiping Army was the backbone." In the first battle, the Luo army broke the Hongshan marshal camp, and in the second and third battles, the Xiang army was defeated, and Luo Zenan died on the Chenghao suspension bridge.
Of course, no matter how much Sun Yunzhong could fight alone, he could not save the crisis of the Heavenly Kingdom, and finally the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, and he also took advantage of the chaos to live in seclusion in Baiquan Township and cultivate the land for the rest of his life. Later, after the situation was slightly better, Sun Yunzhong often explained the story of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to his descendants and relatives and friends, and also showed a sword that Hong Xiuquan had rewarded when he was an official. Educate the younger generations on their contempt for the rulers of the Qing Dynasty. His son Sun Huating, who also became a soldier when he grew up, once served as a pipe belt of the Biaoxiang River Water Division in Hanyang Town in the Qing Dynasty (quite the current battalion commander), and later resigned to return to the countryside to work as a farmer at home like his father due to dissatisfaction with the situation. At this stage, Sun Huating's son, Sun Yunzhong's grandson Sun Wu, slowly entered people's sight.
Sun Wu, formerly known as Bao Ren, the character Yao Qin, Yao Qing, also known as Shaoqing, also known as Yao Xian, trumpet Mengfei, was born on November 8, 1879 (the 25th day of the ninth month of the lunar calendar) in Hanyang Baiquan SunWan, he listened to his grandfather from a young age to explain the story of participating in the revolution, with the support of his elders, he grew up shangwu, loved archery, horseback riding and martial arts, "reading but looking at the big picture". In particular, when his father died when he was a teenager, he worked harder to "strike with a strong bow and horse". At that time, there were martial arts, and the content of the exam was mainly archery, horseback riding and martial arts, and he wanted to be a martial artist.
At this time, in view of the defeat of Jia Wu, when Zhang Zhidong was in the period of the Penghu Restoration Movement, the call for self-improvement of the army was very high, so he opened a martial arts school in Hubei with the goal of "storing generals and making morale".
At that time, the domestic people only knew about Sun Wen's alliance, and many uprisings ended in failure, inspired by this, Sun Wu and Liu Gong and others organized the Communist Progressive Association. Under the main altar of the Communist Progressive Association, there are "Zhonghua Mountain, Xinghan Water, Guangfu Hall, and Baoguoxiang". There are five flags under each local branch. Except for the core personnel of the company, the peripheral personnel do not know the name of the society. There is a focus on righteousness among members. Pay attention to "although the grace of a meal, splash blood does not quit". Its core content is still not separated from the expulsion of the Tartars and the restoration of the Central Plains. In fact, it is in the same line with his grandfather's participation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
After the deaths of Cixi and Guangxu in 1908, Sun Wu returned to Hubei, and subsequently, he was promoted to chief of staff of the Wuchang Uprising Headquarters, and in the autumn of 1911, the Baolu Movement occurred in Sichuan, and the Qing court sent DuanFang to lead part of the Hubei New Army into Sichuan, resulting in a drastic reduction in the Qing army's military strength in Hubei. The revolutionaries decided to launch an armed uprising in Wuchang. Due to the lack of preparation for all aspects of the uprising, coupled with the fact that Huang Xing, Song Jiaoren, and others had not yet arrived in Wuchang, Sun Wu planned to make a batch of bombs to assassinate the governor of Huguang, Rui Yi, but accidentally caused an explosion when making bombs, so he had to revolt in advance, and then won a victory.
The victory of the Wuchang Uprising quickly ignited the fire of the Xinhai Revolution throughout the country. In just two months, 15 provinces across the country declared independence from the Qing Dynasty. Qing rule collapsed. On February 12, 1912, the Qing Emperor Puyi announced his abdication, and the Qing Dynasty, which ruled for more than 200 years, came to an end.
Sun Wu, a descendant of Sun Yunzhong, a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, finally completed the unfinished business of his grandfather's generation in "overthrowing the rule of the Qing Dynasty". Just as Sima Qian wrote in the "History of Xiang Yu Benji", "Although Chu has three households, the death of Qin will be Chu", those generals who rebelled in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, after more than ten years of conquest, later failed, although they were killed by the Qing rulers to only a very few people, they could also destroy the Qing Dynasty, which indeed made countless posterity sigh.
