In July 1864, the theocratic regime founded by Hong Xiuquan finally ended the short fourteen-year state rule, and the land of China once again restored the orthodox status of Confucianism. Although Hong Xiuquan did not see the overthrow of the ideal of the Kingdom of Heaven, his son Hong Tianguifu was really a man with a back pot, became the king of the subjugated country, and became an unjust ghost under the butcher's knife of the Qing court, and died of lingchi.
In fact, judging from the situation at that time, the young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu could have been spared death, and he could have been a commoner and lived forever! Unfortunately, Hong Tianguifu was pit by Lao Tzu Hong Xiuquan, and it was from small pit to large; however, the Young Heavenly King also pit Hong Xiuquan, which was known in his self-description to the Qing army.
As for how Hong Xiuquan pit Hong Tianguifu, let's take a look at the performance of the young king when the great calamity came, and then analyze the reasons for it. In this way, it is estimated that you will know how the Young Heavenly King was killed by the pit and what kind of a pot bearer he was.
Classic Performance 1: In July 1864, the Young Heavenly King saw the large army of Zeng Guoquan Jizi's battalion on the city tower attacking the Gate of Tianjing City, and the Xiang army rushed into the gap like a tide and directly killed the Heavenly King's Palace. At this time, Hong Tianguifu directly abandoned the four wives that his father had married himself and fled for his life. If Li Xiucheng had not arrived in time, it was estimated that the Young Heavenly King would have died under the chaotic sword, and he would not even have the chance to escape.
Classic Performance II: In October 1864, the Taiping Army, which was protecting the Young Heavenly King to Hubei, was attacked by the Xiang Army in Shicheng, Jiangxi, and almost the entire army was destroyed, and the top pillar of the army, Hong Renjie, was separated from the Young Heavenly King. At this time, the Young Heavenly King fell into the ditch while fleeing, avoiding death, so he ran straight to the mountain forest! As far as the intelligence level at that time was concerned, as long as the Young Heavenly King hid in the deep mountains and old forests and did not come out, it was estimated that no one could find it! Unfortunately, the young king, who grew up in the greenhouse, lacked the necessary survival skills and went down the mountain after nibbling on the only bread in his hand.
Classic performance three: If there are many beasts in the mountains, the danger factor is too high, and it is not impossible to go outside to beg for life, but he has once again exposed his low survivability! At that time, a peasant household took him in and gave him food to eat, which made him feel the warmth of the world. Unfortunately, he could not even do basic farm work, and the owner had no choice but to give him a few burnt cakes and then sweep the floor out of the house.
Classic Performance Four: After the young king came out of the old farmer's house, the few burnt cakes in his hand were quickly eaten. In the case of hunger, he did not even have the level of begging, but directly did a big thing similar to the hero in the film and television drama who went to the military camp alone. As a result, it can be imagined that the young king with a Hakka accent was immediately captured alive and automatically sent to the door.
From the above four points, it can be seen that the young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu has no survival skills at all, and his IQ and judgment are still very low, which is jaw-dropping. Hong Xiuquan actually chose him as the heir, it is really impossible, it is estimated that his own vision is not much, no wonder the Taiping Heavenly Assembly perished in his own hands! So, what does the Young Heavenly King's low survival skills and IQ have to do with Hong Xiuquan? In fact, this is all the trouble caused by Hong Tianwang's unique education model for him. Here, let's take a look at how Hong Xiuquan pit the Young Heavenly King in education so that he doesn't even have basic survival skills.
First, the content of education is very problematic. According to ancient Chinese tradition, the crown prince had to go out of the cabinet at the age of six to study the Confucian classics in order to show his subjects that his heir's status was unshakable. The young king Hong Tianguifu also came out to study at the age of six, but unfortunately he did not read the traditional Confucian classics, but the heavenly books compiled by Hong Xiuquan. In this way, the problem is great, and many of the ideas in the Confucian classics that can be applied to the world cannot be learned; and the poems, anthologies, and exhortations written by Hong Xiuquan at a low level are useless. In addition, in the era of war and chaos, Hong Tianwang did not think of learning some knowledge of wild survival skills for him, but recited the "Book of Heaven" all day long. In this way, the Young Heavenly King did not even have the most basic knowledge and skills, so how could he survive in a chaotic world.
Second, there is no choice of teacher. Generally speaking, the choice of teachers for the crown prince must be selected from among those who are knowledgeable, learn to be rich in five cars, and only eight buckets high. If there is no accident, after the Crown Prince inherits the unification, his teacher will certainly become a core member of the imperial court, and even become the chief scholar of the cabinet, dominating the affairs of the empire. However, Hong Xiuquan's idea was too unique, and he did not allow other men to enter and exit his harem, so Hong Renjie, who was proficient in Chinese and Western culture, naturally could not teach the Young Heavenly King. So, who does Hong Xiuquan choose? Of course, it is the righteous sister Hong Xuanjiao that he recognizes. Hong Xuanjiao, the noble wife of the Western King Xiao Dynasty, was born of charcoal and had good survival skills. The problem is that she did not teach the young king how to "burn charcoal", but to recite the "Taiping Salvation Commandment" and "Taiping Salvation Commandment".
Third, enjoy in time and do not seek progress. When he was a teenager, studying, reading, and living were the first priorities, but unfortunately, Hong Xiuquan let the young king enjoy a beautiful life in the world when he was a teenager. Hong Tianguifu was only 9 years old, and Hong Xiuquan married him four concubines, and then enjoyed himself in the harem all day, not thinking of making progress and not seeking progress. Friends who have studied psychology know that the situation of the young king is easy to make people trance, limited thinking, and low judgment. It is estimated that they were punished enough by these four concubines, and when the young king was captured, he made a big joke that "I want to marry again at the age of 20".
All in all, in the era of wars and chaos, if the young king had a little basic survival skill, he would definitely be able to escape the disaster and live forever! You must know that when Zeng Guofan reported to the Tongzhi Emperor, he had already said that he had died in the Tianjing War! Unfortunately, the young Heavenly King was pit by the Old Heavenly King, and was pit to death by the old father's unique education method.
