The six-dimensional pictures of emperors of all dynasties were exposed, and the ancestors panicked

Chapter 773 The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom!

{Yang Xiuqing was a true grassroots hero. He was the one responsible for training the soldiers.}
{Select young and strong men to train in the camp, and drill day and night to train their physical fitness and formations.}
{Physical fitness training mainly involves running, first the round trip, then the horse-leading run. You must be able to pull the horse while running hard, and only when you run past the horse's head can you pass.}
{After running, they practiced horsemanship. Soldiers had to gallop on horseback until their hair was blown into a straight line to pass the test.}
{In terms of formation, Yang Xiuqing created a set of formations that coordinated long and short weapons, trenches and earth walls based on the battlefield experience of retired veterans.}
{With an iron fist and strict orders, and the high physical fitness of the original troops, the Taiping Army's combat effectiveness far exceeded that of the Qing Army's Green Camp.}
{In addition, we call them the "Taiping Army" today, which is a common name in history. In fact, they called themselves "Heavenly Soldiers" and "Heavenly Army" back then, and the more impolite ones called them "Long Hairs." }
{It was not until many years after the fall of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that historians began to call them the "Taiping Army"}
……

Qing Dynasty, Xianfeng Period
The emperor felt a little relieved.

"so far so good……"

Xianfeng really breathed a sigh of relief.

Yehenara blew gently on the spoon in her hand, brought it to the emperor's mouth, and said with a smile:
"Those long-haired soldiers are not worth mentioning. Your Majesty is the true dragon emperor, why bother with them?"

"Look, this is self-destructing."

Xianfeng took a sip of the soup and sighed:
"Hong Xiuquan was not to be feared. He knew he was incompetent, so he didn't interfere much in specific matters. All matters, big or small, were decided by Yang Xiuqing."

"Zeng Guofan once said that among the Taiping rebels, the Guangxi bandits were the most powerful. They were the worst of the bandits. They were fearless and ruthless. They often needed foreign guns and cannons to defeat them. They were very difficult to deal with."

"All this is thanks to Yang Xiuqing."

Xianfeng looked at the word "destruction" in the sky and said softly:
"As long as Yang Xiuqing is not dead, I will not be at peace."

……

[After Li Dianyuan was defeated, he reported the situation to his superior Zhou Fengqi. Zhou Fengqi did not dare to be careless and immediately led his troops to fight.]

[On December 1850, the 12th year of Daoguang's reign (December 29, ), Zhou Fengqi ordered the deputy general of Guizhou Qingjiang Association, Yiktanbu, and others to go and wipe out the rebellion.]

[On February 1851 (January 1, 1), Yiktanbu led the Guizhou troops in three groups and attacked Jintian Village.]

[The Taiping Army was well prepared. They disguised themselves as Lian Yong and first attacked the weaker Lian Yong on the two wings. Then they took advantage of the victory to counterattack the Qian soldiers in the middle, annihilating 300 people. The Qian soldiers of the Seventh Battalion fled. In a panic, Yiktanbu fell into the river with his horse and was beheaded by the Taiping soldiers.]

【Zhou Fengqi led his troops to rush to the rescue, and the pursued Qing army was able to escape.】

[The Taiping Army pursued them relentlessly, and Zhou Fengqi led his troops to retreat to Guiping in a panic, but they held their ground and refused to leave.]

[At this point, the Qing government realized that there was a rebel organization in Guangxi that was more difficult to deal with than the Tiandihui, and it began to focus on suppressing the Taiping Army.]

……

{The first round of fighting between the Qing army and the Taiping army ended in a disastrous defeat for the Qing army, which also lost a second-rank assistant general.}
{Tsk tsk tsk, the Taiping Army has just entered the warm-up phase and is still far from its peak. This shows how poor the Qing Army's combat effectiveness is.}
{At that time, the Qing army had dozens of parallel and independent command systems, so it would have been difficult for them to communicate and share experiences with each other.}
{So from this point of view, Zeng Guofan's strategy of building a strong camp and fighting a stupid battle made sense. You fight yours, I fight mine. I am not in a hurry to waste time with you, because if I waste time, you will not be able to afford it. In short, I have the advantage.}
……

Big man.

"This Zeng Guofan..."

Liu Bang understood that this was a special person.

"The Taiping Army might have been defeated by him."

"Even if it's not completely broken, it's still a heavy blow in some way."

"But the Qing army...tsk tsk."

There must be a specific process for doing everything, and reconnaissance should be done before fighting to avoid losing the opportunity due to underestimation of the enemy.

But the Taiping Army does have some capabilities.

……

On the canopy.

On a small earthen altar, only about ten feet in diameter.

Hong Xiuquan was standing on it, wearing a yellow turban and a yellow robe.

All around, there are endless believers.

Years of hard work have made them look dark.

Frequent hunger and starvation have left them only about five feet tall.

They all held crude weapons in their hands, if a hatchet tied to a wooden stick could be considered a weapon.

"If you don't fear death, you will go to heaven and live forever."

"If you are greedy for life, you will not live; if you are afraid of death, you will die."

"And if you do not covet comfort and fear suffering now, you will go to heaven and enjoy eternal peace without suffering."

"The warriors who died in this battle will be called to heaven by God!"

Hong Xiuquan said this to everyone, and then began to mutter to himself.

A warrior who was dressed relatively cleanly shouted to the crowd:
"Bow!"

Everyone listened and bowed down to Hong Xiuquan.

Immediately, a rectangular yellow flag with the words "Heavenly Father, Heavenly Brother, Heavenly King, Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" written in red ink jumped up from under the ground and rushed into the sky!

The crowd knelt there, thinking they had seen a miracle, and pressed their foreheads to the ground.

But a few people still held their heads up.

Those who raise their heads are the most profound believers in God and, according to the teachings of the Society of God, do not worship anyone or anything except Jehovah.

The worship ceremony ended quickly, and Hong Xiuquan said loudly again:

"Next year will be the first year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the Tianli calendar!"

"From today on, I am the Lord of Peace!"

"Appoint the five commanders of the Heavenly Kingdom's armies!"

"The commander of the central army, Yang Xiuqing!"

"The commander of the front army, Xiao Chaogui!"

"The rear army commander, Feng Yunshan!"

"Commander-in-chief of the Right Army, Wei Changhui!"

"Left Army Commander, Shi Dakai!"

"Down with the demon thief!"

"Equally distribute land to relieve the poor!"

"Glory to the Church of God!"

People were moved to tears.

The cheers were earth-shaking.

……

[On the tenth day of the twelfth month of the 1851th year of Daoguang’s reign (January 1, 11), which was Hong Xiuquan’s th birthday, the Taiping Army leaders unanimously decided to establish the country on that day.]

[That day, in the square in front of the Wei Family Ancestral Hall in Jintian Village, countless believers came to celebrate Hong Xiuquan’s birthday.]

[Hong Xiuquan climbed up the newly built earthen altar at the foot of the ancient camp at the foot of the Rhinoceros Ridge in the north of the village, proclaimed himself "Taiping Zhenzhu", and announced the birth of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.]

……

{Let’s not talk about what kind of person he was, it was the pinnacle of the old-style peasant movement!}
{It has developed the idea of equal wealth from the peasant movements of all generations. There is no inequality, no hunger, no chaos, no warmth!}

{Dealing a heavy blow to reactionary forces at home and abroad is a great attempt by the peasant class to save the Chinese nation from peril!}

{Although there are class limitations, its justice and revolutionary nature are beyond reproach. Sun Yat-sen also said that he wanted to be the "second Hong Xiuquan", and there is nothing to question about this.}
{What are the achievements? The Heroes Monument has given the answer.}
{Praise the indomitable will of our ancestors, even if it is imperfect, over the cowardly betrayers.}
{You are right. We cannot deny the positive significance of the resistance of the vast majority of the people just because a few people became corrupt later.}
……

Song Shenzong Period
Zhao Xu had to mention the advanced experience of the Song Dynasty in this regard.

"What's second or not second?"

"Strike first, then attack."

"Isn't it just to be an official?"

Zhao Xu whispered:
"But they want to distribute land equally to relieve the poor..."

Zhao Xu chuckled.

"Li Zicheng said the same thing."

……

Ming dynasty.

"Why are you in such a hurry..."

Zhu Yuanzhang felt helpless when he saw the excited expressions of that group of people.

“The first rafters will rot first.”

"You don't even have a piece of land. If you can be self-sufficient, then change your ways..."

"Do you want to read a book?"

"We have such an excellent example right here! Learn from it!"

"You must learn from those who failed!"

Old Zhu saw the big problems of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at a glance.

impatient.

……

[On December 1851, the 1th year of Emperor Daoguang's reign (January 13, ), the Taiping Army marched eastward from Jintian and captured Jiangkouwei (now Jiangkou Town), located at the confluence of Xunjiang River and Dahuangjiang River.]

[On the 1851th day of the first lunar month in the first year of Emperor Xianfeng’s reign in the Qing Dynasty (February 2, 18), Guangxi Governor Xiang Rong, together with Generals Li Nengchen and Zhou Fengqi, led their troops to attack Jiangkouwei from the east and west.]

【The Taiping Army took advantage of the favorable terrain to lure the enemy deep into their territory and ambushed them, resulting in a disastrous defeat for the Qing army. 】【Xiang Rong's army was greatly demoralized and dared not fight, but only held on to the eastern fortress to prevent the Taiping Army from advancing eastward. 】

【Qing prefect Liu Jizu led Zhang Zhao, the leader of the Tiandihui who had surrendered, to lead a boat division to guard the Xunjiang River. At this time, it was difficult for the Taiping Army to open a road to the east. The army was also short of rice, salt, saltpeter and sulfur, so Hong Xiuquan and others changed their plan and wanted to go north from Wuxuan and Xiangzhou.】

[On the night of February 3 (March 10), the Taiping Army secretly evacuated Jiangkou, passed Xinxu, Jintian, Gulinshe, and entered Zijin Mountain. They occupied Sanliwei, miles away from Wuxuan County, and set up camps for more than miles from east to west, with the headquarters set up in Dongxiang.]

[On the 16th (th), Xiang Rong led the Wan Qing army to Wuxuan and set up camp in Tianma Village.]

[On the 19th (th), the Taiping Army took the initiative to attack while the Qing Army was still undecided. The vanguard troops stationed in Sanliwei were divided into three groups and ambushed between Taicun and Linghu. They first launched a feint attack on Dongling with a small group of troops.]

[Xiang Rong was unaware of the plot and led more than 600 Qing soldiers to attack. The Taiping Army fought and retreated, leading the enemy into an ambush. The three ambushes surrounded the enemy.]

[Acting Guangxi Governor Zhou Tianjue heard the news and hurriedly led more than 400 Qing soldiers to rescue, but the Qing soldiers were afraid to move forward.]

[After a fierce battle, most of the Qing troops were annihilated, and Zhou Tianjue and Xiang Rong escaped from the encirclement and fled in a panic.]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"No wonder..."

Zhu Zhanji curiously poked his head and asked:
"What's the wonder, Grandpa?"

Zhu Di leaned back in disgust.

"Stay away from us!"

"You can't even see that? Where's your brain?"

Zhu Zhanji was scolded for no reason and felt wronged.

Zhu Di looked at the sky and said softly:

“No wonder the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell.”

……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
"idiot!"

Qianlong didn't want to endure it at all!

"You can't do that! You shouldn't fall into the same pit twice or three times!"

"Every time we try to lure the enemy deeper into our territory!"

"It's the same trick every time!"

"A bunch of idiots! A bunch of good-for-nothings!"

On their own territory, an armed force suddenly appeared that even the regular army could not defeat!
And the court is still dozing off and confused!

"What is Xianfeng doing!"

……

Qing Dynasty, Xianfeng Period
"Cough! Cough!"

I get so angry when I think of Xianfeng.

"This is the victory Xiang Rong talked about!"

"I won the game!"

Whose situation is good is like this!
Deceiving superiors and subordinates and delaying military plans!

"And that Sai Shang'a... doesn't live up to his reputation!"

"All the talents I considered to be pillars of society are trash!"

Yehenara supported his back.

"Aren't there Zeng Guofan and others?"

Xianfeng frowned when he heard this, then waved his hand.

"Don't mention him anymore."

……

[On March 4 (April 3), Zhou Tianjue and Xiang Rong led an army of more than people and launched an attack on the Taiping Army’s base in four directions, attempting to occupy Sanliwei in one fell swoop and then break the Taiping Army’s Dongxiang camp.]

[On the eve of the fierce battle, Hong Xiuquan and Feng Yunshan transferred the main force of the Taiping Army from Dongxiang to Sanliwei and entered the ambush position.]

[At noon on the second day, the Qing army led by prefect Liu Jizu first launched an attack on Dongling. The Taiping Army used a small force to attract the enemy, and then sent out surprise troops from both wings to attack the Qing army from three sides.]

[The Qing army led by the deputy prefect Zhang Jingxiu, who attacked Taicun, came up to rescue, but was cut into three parts by the Taiping Army.]

[Xiang Rong urged a large group of people to come to support him, but was immediately surrounded.]

[General Qin Dingsan's Qing army was defeated by the Taiping Army in Dalin, north of Sanliyu.]

[According to records, during the battle, the Taiping Army "fought bravely and faced the enemy naked", fought bravely, and the enemy army was defeated. The Qing army did not dare to fight again, so they created the method of "sitting and fighting", but in fact they could only hold on and wait for help. ]

……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
Liu Hong shivered involuntarily.

"Why does it look so much like a yellow turban..."

No one paid attention to the emperor's mumblings; the ministers below were analyzing the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

"Since you dare to raise the banner of rebellion, you must have a way to deal with the government's army's encirclement and suppression."

"It all depends on the background of the Taiping Army... They fight and retreat at the same time, fight to support the enemy, and forge a combat-ready army in battle!"

"This team is different from other teams that have changed. They have a firm belief."

"If the soldiers do not have a firm belief and only fight for food and money, then they will definitely have no fighting power and failure is inevitable. This has nothing to do with the number of people and weapons and equipment."

"Xuan De's words make sense."

“But in the end it perished.”

Everyone was silent for a moment.

Cao Cao took a deep breath and analyzed:
"Most of the Taiping Army soldiers at that time were loyal believers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. They deeply believed that their beloved leader Hong was sent by God to eliminate injustice in the mortal world. If they dedicated themselves to this cause, they would ascend to heaven and be with God forever."

"Therefore, they have a strong sense of cohesion due to their common beliefs, and can unleash tremendous energy at critical moments of life and death."

"So, although they were few in number and had very crude weapons and equipment, they were able to defeat the Qing army, whose personnel, weapons and equipment were far superior to theirs, and they won every battle."

"But the problem is that Hong Xiuquan is just a man. He is not a real god."

Everyone reacted instantly.

People will have desires.

And once you become the one in power, will you not be afraid of those generals?

"People's hearts are in danger..."

……

[On April 5 (May 12), Emperor Xianfeng ordered Sai Shang'a to take over as the Imperial Commissioner. In addition, the national treasury allocated million taels of silver and dan of rice as military pay.]

【After the Jintian Uprising, Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing entered Wuxuan, went to Xiangzhou, and returned to Guiping. They did not care about the Qing army's pursuit and interception. 】

[They seemed to have heard of Sai Shang'a's arrival and knew that the Qing army was approaching. Xiao Chaogui then pretended to be the Heavenly Brother and came down to earth. He fought three battles with the demons and announced the will of heaven. The big demon named Shang was killed and his head and heart were taken out.]

【Brother Tian’s order was immediately spread throughout the army: everyone should be at ease and at ease.】

[On the fourth day of the sixth lunar month in the first year of Emperor Xianfeng’s reign (July 1851, 7), the day when Sai Shang’a arrived in Guilin, Hong and Yang mobilized their entire army to attack, and indeed defeated the “Qing demons” several times.]

[On the first day of the eighth month of the leap year (September 9), the Taiping Army captured Yong'an Prefecture City (now Mengshan County) in eastern Guangxi. This was the first city they captured.]

[Then the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan named Yang Xiuqing the Eastern King (nine thousand years old), Xiao Chaogui the Western King (eight thousand years old), Feng Yunshan the Southern King (seven thousand years old), Wei Changhui the Northern King (six thousand years old), and Shi Dakai the Wing King (five thousand years old). ]

[All the kings were under the control of the Eastern King. As a result, Yang Xiuqing, as the Eastern King and Chief Military Advisor, held the real power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, while Hong Xiuquan was like a spiritual leader.]

[The Qing dynasty's orthodox calendar was abolished, and the Tian calendar was promulgated and implemented in the second year of Prince (i.e. the second year of Xianfeng, 1852).]

[The "Taiping Ritual System", "Taiping Regulations", and "Taiping Military Order" were promulgated, and the "Book of Heavenly Regulations" was re-promulgated, stipulating the hierarchy system, military discipline and regulations, and troop organization. ]

[The imperial edict was issued: "From the highest heaven to the lowest heaven, all those who have made contributions to the founding of the country will be treated as ministers, and the highest titles will be given to them, such as prime minister, inspector, commander, general, and guard. The lowest titles will be given to them, and they will be hereditary for generations, and their dragon robes and ribbons will be in the heavenly court."]

……

Yanhan·Mingdi period
"This pie is drawn..."

Liu Zhuang curled his lips.

"Not a word of truth."

Liu Jing was puzzled:

"What does this little paradise refer to? Is it the eternal peace after the establishment of the regime? Or is it the paradise after death?"

Liu Zhuang squinted at him.

"fool."

"Can't you tell by looking at the marching route?"

"The target is Nanjing!"

“Little Paradise is Nanjing!”
