Li Xiucheng and Shi Dakai are not necessarily inferior to Xu Da and Chang Yuchun for two reasons. First, the world pattern influenced the general trend during the flood in China. Second, Zhu Yuanzhang's personal ability is not a little higher than Hong's, and the importance of leaders is decisive.
The biggest failure was that the traitors sold more than the Qing Dynasty. 1860, the Qing Dynasty successively signed the Treaty of Three Kingdoms in Beijing and the Treaty of Two Countries in Tianjin, and later recognized the equal preferential rights of the United States. Therefore, the great powers must protect the cash cow of the Qing Dynasty. Therefore, as long as the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom betrayed its own country but didn't sell it to the Qing Dynasty, it was useless to do anything, and the desire of the powers to carve up Asia was too strong.
What kind of peasant class, bourgeoisie, is the ruling class after all, adopts various strategies, wins the whole package, loses nothing, and limits the limitations, but the rulers can choose who to use and what policies to use. But rulers are made by ruling groups and historical figures.
Smash Confucius Temple, kill monks and Taoists, kill literati, kill Manchu, kill Han people related to Manchu, manage men and women separately, and have sex planned by the state. Civil strife killed more than 30,000 of its own people at one time and removed more than 65,438+10,000 people several times. Finally, more than 2,700 people were sealed in Nanjing. Everyone had a ceremonial ceremony when they traveled, and the common people had to kneel down. This paradise is really successful, hahaha, I am excited to think about it. This is a misunderstanding, a cult carnival.
If Hong Xiuquan had higher aspirations and stronger abilities, or if Yang replaced Hong Xiuquan, the modern history of China might be rewritten. Perhaps this is a story like Nguyn Phuc Anh's regime change with the help of French mercenaries. You can write a time-travel novel. The issue of the leadership of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has buried a deadlock from the beginning, and Hong Xiuquan is the highest in reality. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, under the banner of religion, was initiated by Yang, and later there were often scenes of crying and laughing. Yang reprimanded Hong Xiuquan in front of everyone.
There are several reasons for the failure of the Taiping heavenly kingdom: first, the country has not yet made a stable and blind capital; Second, the leader is too lewd, sleeping all the way when he sees beautiful women, and finally turning against women; Third, they are too arrogant and can use martial arts literature to stabilize the country. On the contrary, there is a lack of civil servants and talents! Eventually failed! Ethics, birthright and system design are all used to do this. After reading Confucian books for so many years, Hong didn't understand how to rule the world by one person, and failure was inevitable. How did the emperors solve this problem and how did Cixi control Prince Zeng Guofan? You don't need to know the advanced western system, but you need to know a little about the history of China. After reading the first three pages of Zi Tong Zhi Jian, you will know what to do.
For example, in the Northern Expedition, at that time, the entire Taiping Army could only go to the battlefield for 100,000, stay in Nanjing for 40,000 to 50,000, and go to the Northern Expedition for 20,000. In order to consolidate the surrounding areas of Nanjing, the rest had to go west. It's really urgent. Besides, among the 20,000 people in the Northern Expedition, nearly 5,000 people followed the battle-hardened elite troops all the way from jintian uprising. At that time, this distribution of troops was indeed a need.
In addition, before the Northern Expedition, the northern expeditionary army was equipped with fake weapons that fought barefoot in Hubei, Guangdong and Guangxi. Ancient people didn't know the climate as we do now. Many people never even leave three miles from where they were born in Fiona Fang. These people went to the north in the snow and ice, and they were not equipped in advance without understanding or understanding. Besides, they can't get used to corn sorghum, the staple food in the north, and they can't get used to anything. But these are not caused by subjective consciousness.
The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is really not backward. The heaven-earth system and the new chapter of senior minister are the first bourgeois revolutionary system in China, and Hong Xiuquan approved more than 20 articles. Including the Taiping Army system and public opinion control, all have the embryonic form of a modern country. However, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom opened a printing house and distributed its own political program everywhere. Many people say that the peasant uprising has limitations, but we have to see how big this limitation is. The limitations of the Taiping Army are not as great as those of the ignorant ruling class in Qing Dynasty. The key still lies in two points: 1, foreign aid helped the rebels destroy the rulers at that time, but Hong Xiuquan did not; 2. Weapons are strictly prohibited. Only by arming yourself can we master it, and Hong Xiuquan has no chance at all.
