In A.D. 1864, Tianjing fell, and when the Qing soldiers of the brigade entered the Heavenly Palace, it was actually 1000 or 3,000 female soldiers who became Cheng Xiuquan's last barrier. The horror of their self-immolation shocked the Xiang army.
Hong Xiuquan, a native of Hua County, Guangdong Province, was originally named Hong Renkun and nicknamed Huo Xiu. His early dream was to gain fame and honor. However, he failed Sun Shan many times in the imperial examinations. After returning to his hometown, he felt very humiliated. After that, he was reborn. In June 1843, he founded the worship shrine, wrote the Song of Salvation in the original way, and put forward the theory that "the world is for the public", which attracted a large number of Christians.
185 1 year, Hong Xiuquan decided to launch jintian uprising when the time was ripe. Two years later, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, led by him, laid down Nanjing like a bamboo, renamed Tianjing as the capital, called itself the King of Heaven, and promulgated the "Tianmu System in China". The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied half of the country.
Of course, there are tigers like Xiu Qing in East Wang Yang and Shikai in Wang Hao to help you conquer the world, but he also has a special army-female soldiers.
From the day when Hong Xiuquan founded Zoroastrianism, he called for the equality of "all men are brothers and all women are sisters" and widely mobilized the masses, especially the poor working women in rural areas. After the uprising, Hong Xiuquan attached great importance to the construction of female soldiers. On the day of the uprising, he promulgated five military disciplines, the second of which was "Don't be like a man" and set up a women's camp. Many great female generals headed by Yang emerged, and the Qing army was beaten out of the water, and its reputation spread far and wide. Later, there was a classic saying in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom: Men learn from Feng Yunshan and women learn from Yang.
After that, the ranks of women grew rapidly. A folk song described the grand occasion of women's participation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement: "Sisters and relatives sleep in the same room, and now my sister goes with Hongyang, and so does her sister!"
Later, with the gradual growth of female soldiers in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the previous women's camp became a women's hall. According to relevant historical records, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom conquered three towns in Wuhan, the whole city was in chaos. After the Taiping Army entered the city, it set up a women's pavilion, stipulating that all the women in the city would move to Wuchang Fire Lane to "return to the pavilion" and "those who are late will be whipped".
On March 20th, A.D. 1853, the Taiping Army captured Nanjing, and a larger female pavilion appeared. From Guangxi to Hunan, from Hubei to Anhui, even Nanking was conquered by Taiping Army. At this time, there were 654.38+10,000 female soldiers in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, forming a large-scale women's museum.
However, after that, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom implemented a cruel military system of separating men from women at the grassroots level, but on the other hand, it gave the upper class a green light to choose concubines and buy more wives.
For fun, Hong Xiuquan issued an absurd "imperial edict of polygamy", claiming that residents of the kingdom of heaven and overseas fans are proud of polygamy. So, in this way, Hong Xiuquan quickly "married" 88 people. At the same time, the guards of Hong Xiuquan's Tianwangfu are all female soldiers, with as many as 3,000 people.
It can be said that Hong Xiuquan has lived a "powder pile" life since then. These 3,000 female soldiers have two responsibility: First, they are responsible for chasing Hong Xiuquan. For Hong Xiuquan, "Wash and dress, get a haircut, dredge the troubles of the main hair, and the main hair is dignified and noble, and always sit on the mountain!" And pay homage to the king of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The second is to be responsible for the safety of Tianwangfu and Hong Xiuquan. It is conceivable that the responsibility is great and the task is heavy.
In A.D. 1856, after the Tianjing Incident, Wei Changhui, the king of the North, led 3000 people into the east to slay Yang, but he was still not convinced and slaughtered more than 20,000 people in the east. Afterwards, Shi Dakai accused Wei Changhui of killing too many people. Wei Changhui, who killed the red eye, even tried to kill Shi Dakai. After Shi Dakai escaped overnight, Wei Changhui killed his family. After that, Shi Dakai led the army back to Beijing.
Seeing the critical situation, Wei Changhui, like a lamb, led 3,000 troops to Tianwangfu, trying to hold Hong Xiuquan hostage. Results At the critical moment, 3,000 female soldiers shouted and killed from the gate of Tianwangfu, and successfully resisted Wei Changhui's 3,000 troops and stubbornly held the gate of Tianwangfu.
In the end, Wei Changhui was killed and Hong Xiuquan survived.
In A.D. 1864, the Qing army besieged Tianjing, and 654.38 million female soldiers knew that the consequences of being caught and captured were very serious, and they would suffer endless humiliation, torture and punishment. Scholars can be killed but not humiliated, so they went into battle one after another, and most of them died under the butcher's knife of the Qing army. Finally, when the Qing soldiers of the brigade killed the Tianwangfu, the 3,000 female soldiers of Tianwangfu still wrote the most beautiful hymn for the heroine with their unique "God-fearing" enthusiasm, bravery and unyielding generosity, and self-immolation.
