In the history of the late Qing Dynasty, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is a topic that can never be bypassed, and the heroes in it are even more enjoyable to posterity. In order to rebel against the feudal rule of the Qing Dynasty and create the "little paradise" on earth in their minds, countless blood-hot boys threw themselves into this fierce struggle. However, they failed, and many of them were captured and became the ghosts of the Qing Dynasty's butcher's knife, such as Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, Shi Dakai, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng, Lin Shaozhang, Hong Renjie, Chen Kunshu, and so on. There were many taiping army generals who were captured, and there were not a few who died on the battlefield with great vigor, five of them were killed by guns, of which Feng Yunshan, the southern king, was the most dramatic, and Huang Wenjin, the king of blocking, died a bit of a pity and hung up at a critical moment.
Feng Yunshan: It can be said unceremoniously that without Feng Yunshan cutting thorns and thorns, going deep and barren, and working hard in the Purple Mountain, which is nearly a thousand kilometers away from his hometown and unfamiliar with life, the worship of God sect will not develop and grow, and the Jintian Uprising will naturally not break out, Feng Yunshan can be said to be the true founder and navigator of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In April 1852, the Taiping Army broke through from Yong'an to the north to attack Guilin, and after encountering setbacks, it immediately broke the siege, took Jeonju into Hunan, and then directly killed Changsha. In order to speed up the march, the Taiping Army did not attack the city when passing through Jeonju, but swung under the city wall. At this time, a rather dramatic "accident" occurred, and the soldiers guarding the city saw a yellow palanquin in the marching procession, and the characters in the caravan were dressed beautifully, presumably big people. The small soldiers guarding the city did not say a word, and directly fired at the palanquin, hitting Feng Yunshan. Seriously wounded, Feng Yunshan was killed while traveling to Yidu, the first Five Kings of the Taiping Army to die.
Xiao Chaogui: In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, Yang Xiuqing and Xiao Chaogui were two of the more peculiar figures, Yang Xiuqing gained the power of "rumors of the Heavenly Father" and was the embodiment of God in the human world; Xiao Chaogui gained the power of "rumors of heavenly brothers" and was the representative of Jesus in the secular world. In terms of marching operations, Xiao Chaogui was a good hand, whether it was the Taiping Army or the Qing Army, he was given a very high evaluation, saying that he was "brave and good at fighting, and the first person to charge into the battlefield." The fact is also that since the Jintian Uprising, Xiao Chaogui has all served as a vanguard general, and Luo Gang, Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang and other fierce men have all served under him. In August 1852, Xiao Chaogui led 2,000 elite intermediaries from the Chenzhou base camp to attack Changsha, and arrived under the city in less than half a month. Unfortunately, Changsha City was too big, and two thousand soldiers and horses were not enough. To this end, Xiao Chaogui placed the main direction of attack in the Tianyin Pavilion outside the South Gate and personally commanded the battle. Unfortunately, there were exactly two dilapidated small iron cannons on the city wall at that time, and the defenders of the city shelled against the brightly dressed people, and Xiao Chaogui was sacrificed.
Luo Outline: This is definitely an outlier in the Taiping Army, Luo Outline, who was born in the Heaven and Earth Society and does not believe in the worship of God, can actually mix with the wind and water in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, this is really not easy, Xiao Chaogui's appreciation is one of the reasons, and his own efforts are the most critical. In February 1851, Luo Gang led 2,000 "water bandits" into the Taiping Army, which was the basis of the taiping heavenly kingdom water camp strength. In April 1852, taking advantage of the heavy rain and the dark wind of the moon, Luo Gang led 2,000 elite soldiers to the direction of Gusu Chong, making great contributions to the Taiping Army's successful promotion of the siege of Yong'an. From December 1854 to February 1855, Luo Gang led a water division to defeat the Xiang Army's water division under Jiujiang City, and almost captured Zeng Guofan alive. In late 1855, the war around Tianjing became increasingly tense, especially the Wuhu battlefield on the western front became one of the main targets of the Jiangnan camp's attack. At this time, Luo Gang was ordered to fight in Wuhu, where he met Zhang Guoliang, a Qing general who was also from the Heaven and Earth Society, and the two fought several fierce battles. Unfortunately, during this battle, Luo Gang was hit by a shell and died after returning to Tianjing.
Huang Wenjin: If you talk about the Taiping Army generals who brought the greatest trouble to Zuo Zongtang, Huang Wenjin said that he was second, and no one dared to say that he was first. Huang Wenjin, a white man from Bobai, Guangxi, one of the leaders of the five centers of the early worship of God, brought more than 5,000 people from the headquarters into the Jintian Uprising and contributed greatly. However, perhaps because of the non-Bauhinia Mountain Clique, Huang Wenjin, who was called a "tiger" by the Qing army, was not reused, and the rewards he received from his bloody battles were really insignificant, and Huang Wenjin was only crowned as the King of Blockade in 1862. You know, 1862 is not a good year, this is the beginning of Hong Xiuquan's indiscriminate sealing of princes, and later more than 2,000 people have been sealed. Usually not reused, but before his death, Hong Xiuquan thought of Huang Wenjin and wanted him to be the last protector of the Hong family dynasty. In July 1864, Huang Wenjin sent people to welcome the young king who had broken through from Tianjing into Huzhou, and then personally escorted him to Hubei to meet Chen Decai, the king of Fu, who had an army of more than 200,000 at that time. Unfortunately, Huang Wenjin often personally charged the battlefield during the march, and unfortunately was shot in the left forehead by a gun and died. After Huang Wenjin's death, the young heavenly king became a bird of fright, and soon he automatically ran to the Camp of Xi Baotian as a prisoner.
Wang Haiyang: In March 1853, the Taiping Army invaded Nanjing, and the vast number of poor peasants came to join the army, and Wang Haiyang, a native of Anhui, was one of them. After joining the Taiping Army, Wang Haiyang belonged to the Yidian Group, and later followed Shi Dakai out to do it alone. After going it alone, Shi Dakai was repeatedly defeated in battle, and even the small cottage could not be attacked, and he was often chased and beaten by the landlord's armed forces. Therefore, Wang Haiyang of the Yidian Group did not make a big achievement, and it was not until 1860, after returning to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom with tong Ronghai, Peng Dashun, Zhu Yidian and other generals, that he had the opportunity to show his prominence and become one of the pillars of the late Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In July 1864, Tianjing was breached, and Kang Wang Haiyang led more than 100,000 troops from Zhejiang into Jiangxi, and then moved to the border of Guangdong and Fujian, and captured Meizhou. In January 1866, Wang Haiyang led an army out of the city and defeated several soldiers and horses of Zuo Zongtang in succession. At this time, the rebel general Ding Sun presented a plan to the Qing army, informing them that Wang Haiyang was under the banner of the dragon in the formation, so dozens of guns of the Qing army shot at Wang Haiyang at the same time, and a generation of famous generals were headshot.
