But since? Tianjing incident? After that, the national luck of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom went from bad to worse, and was finally wiped out by the Xiang army. So, after the Taiping Army was defeated, where did the young king who succeeded to the throne of heaven go? What is fate?
1 June, 8641day, Hong Xiuquan died of illness, and his son Tianguifu Hong succeeded to the throne, so he was called the young king. At that time, Tianguifu Hong was only 15 years old, and today he is still a junior high school student. But when Hong Xiuquan died, the mess of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was thrown into his hands.
Tianguifu Hong in film and television dramas.
The young heavenly king grew up in the imperial court, and even he could not tell a mule from a horse, and he did not receive a complete and systematic education in governing the country.
Hong Xiuquan didn't like the ethos of reading four books and five classics at that time, and let his son learn what he wrote by himself? Textbooks? For example, Poems of Harmony, Awakening the World, Thousand-character Imperial edict, Imperial edict of Taiping Salvation, etc. The contents of these books identify Hong Xiuquan as a chosen son and teach people to obey his orders.
The idea of the textbook is not profound, but it is not even the least literary and practical. What did Tianguifu Hong learn? I will always sit in heaven and shine, okay? Something like that The level of children educated in this way is unknown.
Therefore, after Tianguifu Hong acceded to the throne, he became a young king, and he was unable to handle military affairs. Fortunately, Li Xiucheng, a loyal soldier, fully assisted and maintained the endgame. Unfortunately, the general trend of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has gone, and the defeat is irreversible. In July 1864, Tianjing fell.

After the capital Tianjin was breached, Li Xiucheng left his mother's wife and children, pretended to be the Qing army and took thousands of Qin Bing, and rescued the young king from the city. In times of crisis, Li Xiucheng gave his war horse to Tianguifu Hong, and rode on the inferior horse that Tianguifu Hong replaced.
Relying on the speed of the war horse, Tianguifu Hong successfully left Nanking and disappeared in the bloody night. And Li Xiucheng, because the horse can't walk, was arrested and killed.
Did the Qing army find it gone? The first rebel chief? , troops immediately to catch up. Tianguifu Hong led the remnants into Zhejiang and then into Jiangxi.
In Jiangxi, xi Baotian of the Qing army discovered Tianguifu Hong's whereabouts. In a melee between the two sides, the Taiping Army was defeated, Tianguifu Hong was separated from his entourage, and one person was reduced to the barren hill in Shicheng.

He has been spoiled since childhood and his ability to survive in the wild is extremely poor. After hiding in the mountains for a few days, he was so hungry that he had to go down for food.
The young heavenly king met a family at the foot of the mountain. The master felt sorry for him and shaved his head. He also gave him some food and asked him to help with some farm work. But where did he suffer this? The host had no extra money to support him, so he gave him some cakes and sent him away.
After eating the cake, he fell into hunger again. In desperation, he went to eat in the Qing army camp. When the Qing army heard that his accent was not local, it was greatly suspicious. At this time, the Taiping soldier who surrendered in the Qing army was recognized and he was captured.
As a wanted man, local official Tang escorted him to Nanchang. On the way to escort, in order to prevent accidents, Tang used inducements and emotions, and quickly gained his trust. In the end, I not only didn't want to escape, but also wrote many limericks for Tang.
The stills of warlords show that the Qing army is at war with the Taiping Army.
For example:? My master knows his height and has helped the Qing Dynasty all his life. A civil servant and military commander, a hero. ?
Another example is:? It's hard to keep up with Mao Xin, and it's dangerous to run around. Now go home with my brother, go back to study and take an examination of scholars. Now I don't want to be long-haired, but concentrate on assisting the Qing Dynasty. Long live the Qing emperor, thieves and bandits are always hard to escape. Now with Brother Tang, we should try our best to be respectful and peaceful. I felt my brother's kindness, and I thanked Ghosn again and again. ?
Judging from the content of this poem, Tianguifu Hong dreamed of becoming a scholar and an official in the Qing Dynasty. It is naive and foolish for him to have such an idea, which is just his own wishful thinking. It is impossible for the Qing court to give him a chance.
Not long after he finished writing these crooked poems, that is,1June 65438+181October, Jiangxi Governor Shen Baozhen put him to death. Shen wrote:? Hongfutang (Tianguifu Hong's name was misrepresented by the Qing government as Hongfutang) was not enough for the children of Huangkou, but Hong Xiuquan stole his name for more than ten years, poisoned ten Yu Sheng, and the legacy is still there. The traitor's name is enough to call a group of valiant soldiers. ?
