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

Chapter 780 The Tianjing Incident!

[Jiangnan's economy was developed and its products were abundant, which made it easy to raise grain and funds, and it could also cut off the Qing court's source of finance and taxation, so King Hong renamed Nanjing to Tianjing and made it the capital.]

【But Hong Xiuquan never expected that he would never have the chance to leave Nanjing again in this life.】

[Just when Hong Xiuquan was busy with the important tasks of building the capital and conferring titles, Emperor Xianfeng gave him a great gift, a cage made by the Qing army.]

[Xianfeng ordered the Qing army, which was mainly composed of the Green Camp and the Eight Banners, to set up the Jiangnan Camp and the Jiangbei Camp, weaving a big cage around Nanjing in an attempt to imprison the Taiping Army.]

[However, Yang Xiuqing, the de facto leader of the Taiping Army, would not sit idly by and wait for death. After careful preparation, Yang Xiuqing divided his troops into three groups to counterattack the Qing Army.]

……

On the canopy.

The earth was stained with blood.

The fully armed cavalry of the Qing army roamed the battlefield.

Occasionally he would use a long knife to stab an intact corpse lying on the ground.

……

[The first route was the 20,000-strong Northern Expedition Army led by Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang, two of the Tiandihui’s most powerful generals.]

[Their mission was to lead the war to North China and Beijing, and to relieve the pressure on the Taiping Army in Nanjing.]

[The army marched north alone, deep into enemy territory, facing enemies that were several times their number, lacking supplies and support, and had to fight their way out on their own! ]

[So, before the Northern Expedition began, its ending was already determined.]

[This isolated Northern Expeditionary Army defeated the Qing army and fought all the way to Tianjin.]

[But the Northern Expedition Army encountered an unbeatable opponent outside Tianjin City - the extreme cold.]

[Under the condition of being alone and without support, the morale of the Northern Expedition Army quickly weakened. ]

[People's hearts were scattered, and the terrain was not favorable for the Northern Expedition Army. The flat terrain of North China was particularly suitable for the Qing army's "God of War" Senggelinqin's Mongolian cavalry to fight. Under the impact of the cavalry, the Northern Expedition Army had no chance.]

[In the fifth year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign (1855), the Northern Expedition Army was completely annihilated.]

……

Ming Dynasty Yongle Period
"It's not that easy to unify the north from the south."

Zhu Di felt that the Taiping Army still lacked a person with a broad perspective.

"Going north too early would result in the sacrifice of soldiers in vain."

"Because of the division of troops caused by the Northern Expedition, the troops on the Western Expedition encountered the Hunan Army."

"We should march eastward as soon as possible and take over the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions."

"This division of forces means that the strategic success of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's capture of Nanjing is less than halfway achieved."

Zhu Zhanji held his chin and guessed:

"According to the internal strife, the division of troops may be due to the lack of unity within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom."

Zhu Di looked at the three words "Yang Xiuqing" and nodded.

"That makes sense. There must be something dirty between Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing."

……

[The second route was the Western Expedition Army, led successively by Prime Minister Hu Yihuang and Shi Dakai. Their mission was to occupy the middle and upper reaches of the Yangtze River and to protect the southeastern half of the country by relying on the natural barrier of the Yangtze River.]

[In the early days of the Western Expedition, the army encountered almost no decent opponents, and successively captured the important cities of Anqing, Jiujiang, and Wuchang, bringing Hubei and Jiangxi into the sphere of influence of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.]

【But later they faced their destined opponent - the Hunan Army. 】

……

Great Jin Dynasty - King Sejong
Wanyan Yong suddenly remembered a sentence he saw in the sky.

“A perfect match.”

The one in the south has always been like this.

……

Song Dynasty: Ningzong Period
Zhao Kuo looked at the word "hit" and thought about his opponent in the north.

"It's more than just fate."

"It's such an injustice!"

……

[The third route was the main force of the Taiping Army, commanded by Yang Xiuqing, who was stationed at the headquarters. Yang Xiuqing personally dealt with the Qing army's Jiangbei and Jiangnan camps. This was a decisive battle.]

[After three years of fierce fighting, in 1856, the sixth year of Emperor Xianfeng's reign, Yang Xiuqing led the Taiping Army to defeat the Qing army's Jiangbei and Jiangnan camps.]

[At this point, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied most of the area south of the Yangtze River, dividing the river with the Qing Dynasty, and the country's power reached its peak. ]

……

Tang Xuanzong Period
"I'm coming."

Li Longji sat up straight.

“Everything that goes up must come down, but it’s coming.”

……

【But desire is a double-edged sword. 】

[Looking through the history of human struggle, you will find that methods such as Infernal Affairs, counter-espionage, and borrowing a knife to kill others, all of which start from within the other side, have miraculous effects.]

[Coincidentally, the historical lesson that most peasant uprisings failed also profoundly confirms this truth. ]

【Fortresses are always breached from within.】

……

Yanhan·Lingdi Period
Liu Hong deeply agreed with this.

If Zhang Jue had not been stabbed in the back, the Han Dynasty might not have been able to survive until Bian'er Xie'er.

Thinking of the Yellow Turbans, he couldn't help but look at Liu Bei and Cao Cao.

That was also the stepping stone for these two people to advance.

……

Later Tang Dynasty: Zhuangzong Period
"Huang Chao..."

Li Cunxu didn't think much of Huang Chao.

So killing the noble families was something that suited his taste.

"But if great things are not accomplished, then indulging in pleasure and debauchery is not the way of a king."

Li Siyuan glanced at him.

Talk about others?
You too.

……

[After the death of Feng Yunshan, who was highly respected and capable, the military and political power of the Taiping Army fell into the hands of Yang Xiuqing, whose ability and ambition were proportional.]

[It is not necessarily a bad thing for a younger brother to be ambitious. As long as the elder brother is capable and manages things properly, the younger brother's ambition will be buried by his own awe of the elder brother as time goes by, and he will gradually adapt to the career of being a younger brother, which is not stressful but has a promising future.]

……

Big man.

Liu Bang agreed with this.

"That's what Naigong did!"

"Look who doesn't obey me!"

Lü Zhi sneered:

"Heh, forcing the king of a different surname to rebel openly or covertly."

"It's a good plan indeed."

Liu Bang said calmly:

"Nonsense, they have two minds."

"I was chosen by them personally."

"They violated the law, it has nothing to do with me."

Lü Zhi still sneered, but looked towards Liu Ying, and said with a hint of sarcasm and frustration:
"The King of Dai is indeed your son."

"What a pity Ying'er."

Liu Bang still turned a deaf ear.

The position of crown prince must belong to Liu Heng.

No one can take it away!
Four hundred years of the Han Dynasty!
Naigong Yingzheng was so defeated that he was numb!
……

【But Hong Xiuquan is a counterexample to this rule. 】

[Although Hong Xiuquan was regarded as the leader of the sect, Yang, Xiao and others did not truly believe in Hong's teachings. ]

[When Feng Yunshan tried to recruit Yang and Xiao to join his group, he never mentioned Hong's teachings.]

[After the Taiping Army conquered Wuchang in 1853, Yang Xiuqing paid homage to the local Confucius Temple, which was a very embarrassing thing for the religious leader Hong Xiuquan who shouted "Down with the demon Confucius".]

[Yang Xiuqing's actions meant that he, who controlled secular power, did not respect Hong Xiuquan's position as the leader of the sect, nor did he respect Hong's teachings.]

[In response, Hong Xiuquan could only focus more on the religious field, which was also the only source of power he could rely on, and used increasingly extreme behavior to highlight his authority and presence.]

【After establishing Nanjing as the capital, Hong Xiuquan began a cultural reform movement. 】

[“All evil books and heretical teachings of Confucius, Mencius, and other philosophers must be burned. No one is allowed to buy, sell, hide, or read them. Otherwise, you will be punished!”]

[It was clearly announced that Confucian classics and books of various schools of thought would be banned and burned.]

[This extreme behavior was later fully utilized by Zeng Guofan.]

……

Great Qin.

Xianyang Palace.

Ying Zheng and Liu Bang both stood on the palace wall.

The two looked at the sky.

One person had a blank expression on his face.

The other person also had a blank expression on his face.

"Is this hellish place in Xianyang the place of Kenaigong?"

Liu Bang frowned and muttered to himself.

"Otherwise, just find a reason to send him off for transfer."

But this thought just flashed through his mind and he suppressed it firmly.

It’s better not to seek death. …

[Hong Xiuquan's behavior caused ideological confusion within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and brought a lot of trouble to Yang Xiuqing, the real Prime Minister.]

【Yang Xiuqing's counterattack was also very direct, which was to denounce Hong Xiuquan by claiming that he was "possessed by the Heavenly Father."】

[Hong Xiuquan ignored the will of "Heavenly Father" and continued to intensify the campaign to ban Confucianism and burn ancient books. ]

【Yang Xiuqing was once again "possessed by Heavenly Father."】

……

{It seems to be the same as "cannibalism will be recorded in history books."}
{Now that I think about it, the political practice of Hong, Yang and others just tested the feasibility of the British-style constitutional monarchy in China.}
{The effect is amazing, but it is obviously not applicable to China. In the future, Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao's theories are almost like nonsense.}
{Cao Cao and Emperor Xian of Han had already tried it, but everyone said it didn’t work, so we still had to wait for the October Revolution.}
……

Cao Wei.

Cao Cao raised the wine glass to his lips but stopped.

Finally, he snorted coldly and drank the wine.

"The essence of their internal fighting is caused by the imbalance in the design of the institutional structure."

"It was a makeshift team at the beginning, and after taking Nanjing, they did not readjust the institutional structure."

"The truth about them is that they can't last long in the end."

It is very different from me and the Emperor of Han.

……

[In the sixth year of Emperor Xianfeng’s reign (1856), two major events occurred.]

[One is that Yang Xiuqing led the Taiping Army to defeat the Qing army's Jiangbei and Jiangnan camps.]

【Second, the Second Opium War began. 】

……

Qing Dynasty, Kangxi Period
Kangxi was mentally prepared, but when he saw the words "Opium War", a surge of anger still welled up in his heart.

"English!"

"The biggest threat to the Qing Dynasty!"

Yinzhen looked at Kangxi, who had a gloomy face, and said:

"Instead of targeting England, it is better to enlighten the people."

Kangxi glanced at him.

"If you want to go back to the Dragon's Rise, I can send you off."

Yinzhen sighed.

"Why bother? Didn't Emperor Xiaowen of Wei also promote sinicization?"

"Don't change your clothes, just restore your hair style."

"This truly demonstrates the unity of Manchus and Han people."

"Khan Ama, only when everyone is united can the golden lotus in your hand be put to good use."

Kangxi looked at the golden lotus placed beside him.

Ancestral heritage and longevity.

How to choose?
Of course it means longevity!
Damn! That's even a thought.

After I live forever, the legacy laid down by my ancestors will still belong to me!
……

[At that time, overseas countries were very optimistic about Hong Xiuquan's Christian regime and wanted to cooperate with him to destroy the Qing Dynasty and then engage in business cooperation.]

【But after sending people to contact Hong Xiuquan, this idea was shattered. 】

[First, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s Christian doctrine was too remote for them to accept. Then, Hong Xiuquan’s attitude was the same as that of the Qing dynasty, insisting on treating them as a vassal state.]

[Although Yang Xiuqing looked down on the strength of "vassal states" such as Britain and France, he still appreciated the British and French coalition forces fighting with the Qing army to share the firepower for him. ]

[The Qing army had just been defeated and had to deal with the British and French coalition forces. They were unable to start a new war, and Hong Xiuquan only cared about having fun.]

【As a result, Yang Xiuqing became more and more enthusiastic about the performance of "Heavenly Father Possession".】

[Not long after, Hong Xiuquan, who was still banning books, found that his supporters disappeared one by one, and the effective scope of his orders was limited to his own palace. Almost all of the people in Tianjing were Yang Xiuqing's men.]

【Hong Xiuquan was sidelined. 】

……

On the canopy.

Nanjing city at night

A team of cavalry entered from the south gate of "Tianjing".

The group rode at full speed until they were a hundred feet away from a mansion.

All the followers dismounted, and hundreds of people were divided into several teams.

The leading general led more than a hundred people and headed towards the mansion first.

When the gatekeeper saw that the visitor had a token in his hand, he immediately opened the door.

Everyone rushed in immediately and stabbed several times!

Dozens of guards had their heads chopped off in a moment.

At the residence.

The middle-aged man who had just laid down heard a noise coming from outside, so he immediately stood up, picked up his robe and put it on.

A middle-aged man in a white robe pushed open the door.

"Squeak."

As the door opened, an angry face came into view.

No sound could be uttered.

Several steel knives stabbed into his chest at the same time!
The general at the door stepped forward and grabbed the man by his hair.

"Shh!"

He exerted force with the knife and picked up the bloody head in his hand.

Then he threw it at random.

The man's head was thrown into the crystal clear goldfish tank.

Under the illumination of torches and glass lamps, the head slowly sank from top to bottom in the water.

The blood in his cavity spread out, gradually covering up the surprised expression on his face with his eyes wide open and his mouth open.

……

【After achieving initial victory, Yang Xiuqing relaxed his vigilance.】

【But Yang Xiuqing made a fatal mistake. He thought his opponent was Hong Xiuquan, but his opponent was not only Hong Xiuquan. 】

[Yang Xiuqing’s greatest magic weapon was his “Goddess’s Possession Talk Show.”]

【However, Yang Xiuqing could not make good use of this privilege. After entering Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing played the role of God the Father more than 30 times. He mainly used God the Father to issue orders, degrade other people's public image, seize military power, cheat beautiful women, and establish personal authority. Every time he would torment everyone to death. However, God the Father was a god established by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom itself, and everyone really couldn't do anything about him.】

[Yang Xiuqing recklessly cheated in the Taiping Army, and the end result was that he angered almost the entire leadership of the Heavenly Kingdom. ]

[Such as the founding father of the Northern Wei Changhui, the upstart Yan Qin Rigang, and even the prime minister Chen Chengrong, a senior official in the central government whom Yang Xiuqing himself regarded as his confidant.]

[These people have one thing in common: they were all severely whipped on their buttocks by Yang Xiuqing in front of all the soldiers.]

[They all had their self-esteem hurt by Yang Xiuqing’s extreme dictatorship.]

[They are all fed up with the endless mental torture of the Heavenly Father coming down to earth. ]

【They all wanted Yang Xiuqing to die.】

【The reason why Hong Xiuquan allowed Yang Xiuqing to do what he did was just because of one word: tolerance. 】

【Yang Xiuqing relaxed his vigilance, and his chance came.】

……

Ming Dynasty and Zhengde Period
Zhu Houzhao looked at Zhu Houcong.

Zhu Houcong touched his neck subconsciously.

Could it be that the palace maid was strangling her neck because she was resentful of some minister who was spanked?
"He seems arrogant and unruly, but in fact he has no skills in controlling his subordinates."

Zhu Houzhao quietly looked away and spoke in a pretentious manner.

"It's no surprise that such people have such a miserable ending."

It seems that this butt can't be spanked casually.

Zhu Houzhao's thoughts were divergent.

But the two cannot be mentioned in the same breath.

……

Qing Dynasty and Qianlong period
Qianlong sneered.

He saw the essence of Yang Xiuqing's defeat.

"Bandits."

This person has no idea how to control power or how to balance power.

He doesn't even know how to use the most basic technique of combining kindness with severity.

They will only use extreme violence and threats to maintain their power.

“But this is also a good thing.”

This is really a great thing for the Qing Dynasty.

……

[August 1856, the sixth year of Emperor Xianfeng’s reign, July 9, the sixth year of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom’s reign, September 1, ]

[Hong Xiuquan secretly ordered Wei Changhui and Qin Rigang to lead troops back to Beijing to rescue him.]

[Wei Changhui led 3,000 elite soldiers and advanced rapidly, meeting Qin Rigang outside Tianjing City. With the help of Chen Chengrong, they secretly entered the city under the cover of night and raided the East Prince's Palace.]

[Yang Xiuqing was not mentally prepared to be killed, and this great hero was killed in his sleep! ]

【Hong Xiuquan, the spiritual leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, finally realized his long-cherished dream of combining politics and religion.】

[In the following two months, Wei Changhui deliberately escalated the situation, killing Yang Xiuqing's subordinates as well as innocent people who were killed in the war.]

[After returning to Beijing, Yi Wang Shi Dakai expressed dissatisfaction with Wei Changhui for killing too many people. Wei Changhui wanted to kill Shi Dakai, so Shi Dakai fled to Anqing overnight and raised an army to attack Wei Changhui.]

[In September, Hong Xiuquan ordered the military and civilians of Tianjing to "unite and kill Wei Changhui", and Shi Dakai returned to Beijing to assist in the administration.]

[At the end of April of the following year, Shi Dakai fled from Tianjing due to Hong Xiuquan's suspicion of him, and led more than 100,000 elite troops to act alone.]

[The Tianjing Incident and Shi Dakai's departure caused a fundamental reversal of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's battlefield situation.]
