The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement is a very large-scale movement. Although it was a peasant uprising, many people said it was more like a cult movement, full of violence. They believe in their own creation? Shinto? There is zero tolerance for other religions, such as monks, Taoist priests or nuns, all of which are killing, and the means are quite sharp. It is forbidden to steal things by crowing in every dynasty. But many dynasties just stopped shouting slogans, and only the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement really took action and put it into practice. For some illegal acts, all are dealt with by military law without mercy.
About 70 million people died because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, but they had a lot of experience about the massacre. For Taiping rebels, the enemy can't stay. All those who don't obey them, all those who don't recognize them, and even the people are different. It is better to kill them all than to be enemies with them. And their revolutionary slogan at that time was? Cut off Clear The Demon? . Therefore, Manchu is their number one enemy, coupled with Manchu resistance, which makes the Taiping Army extremely hate Manchu. Whether civilians or the army, as long as they are Manchu, they will be slaughtered.
For example, attacking Nanjing, Manchu women and children, the whole people went into battle and fought to the death. It is precisely because of this that after the destruction of Nanjing, Hong Xiuquan of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ordered the massacre, and all Manchu people were not allowed to let go. In fact, when it comes to slaughter, not only the Taiping Army is experienced, but also the Qing Army is no less. The people they killed were worse than Taiping rebels.
