(2) Subjectively, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was just a peasant war without the leadership of the advanced class. In feudal society, the people were seriously exploited, demanding liberation and daring to fight for liberation with armed struggle. But farmers are scattered small producers after all, and it is impossible for them to formulate a clear revolutionary program and unite all revolutionary masses with this program; It is impossible for them to maintain revolutionary discipline for a long time in order to concentrate on defeating powerful enemies; They lack the ability to sum up revolutionary experience in a scientific way and guide revolutionary practice with these experiences. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom promulgated "China Land System" and "Senior Minister New Chapter", but either because its plan of absolute equalitarianism was doomed to be impossible, or because other subjective and objective conditions decided that it could not be implemented, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not come up with a feasible plan to mobilize the masses, especially the peasants, and could not maintain their revolutionary enthusiasm for a long time, so he could not lead the war to victory. In the early days of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, strict discipline and the spirit of hard work and simplicity were maintained from top to bottom. However, after the capital was Tianjing, hedonism and conservative thoughts began to breed from the leaders, which gradually destroyed the situation of unity and unity and led to a series of abnormal events such as civil strife and division. Later, the Chaogang was corrupt, and many generals supported their troops with self-respect, pocketed their own money, corrupted and degenerated, and even a series of defections and rebellions occurred, which disintegrated the revolutionary fighting spirit and accelerated the failure of the revolution. The theory that Taiping Guo Yao used to guide the revolution was to worship God, which played a role in mobilizing and organizing the masses from the beginning, but it could not solve a large number of new problems and contradictions that constantly appeared in the development of the revolution, nor could it sum up experience in time and properly to avoid repeating the same mistakes and improve the level of the revolution. Therefore, mistakes of the same nature in the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are often repeated and cannot be corrected in time. Especially in the later period,
Deeply addicted to the fast network of "Heavenly Father and Heavenly Brother", he lost a clear understanding of reality, so that this theory has increasingly become an obstacle to the progress of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. It can be said that the limitations of the people's class itself are the fundamental reason for the failure of the New Year's Day.
In addition, the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is the inevitable result of history. The reasons for its disappearance are interrelated and mutually causal. Due to the great limitations of the peasant class thought, corruption and power struggle have emerged. Due to the particularity of religion in the history of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Tianjing riots and a series of social problems were caused. Because of poor governance, complaints, extreme shortage of materials, food shortage is getting worse. Due to serious corruption, Tianjing became chaotic and lost people's hearts. Because there were big mistakes in the military, some people were very defensive, and some people were breached by the enemy. Because of the discord between leaders and the struggle for power, there has been a situation of prosperity and decline, and the strength has dropped sharply. Because of the mistakes of leaders' personal policies, there is no one to govern the country and their strength cannot be effectively supplemented. In a word, it is for these reasons that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom finally perished and failed.
As a peasant war, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is bound to be defeated. Because farmers do not represent advanced productive forces. The historical role of the peasant war is only to crack down on decadent feudal forces and correct the track of historical progress. As for its historical destination, it was either suppressed by the landlord class or liked it.
、
As a tool to change political power. Under this premise, it is necessary to point out the fact that they failed because of mistakes and sum up historical experiences and lessons.
However, this does not mean that it can be completely denied.
Or arbitrarily belittle the historical role of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Its historical achievements and significance are mainly manifested in: accelerating the decline and collapse of the Qing Dynasty and even the entire feudal system; At the same time of anti-feudalism, he undertook the dual task of anti-aggression, launched a large-scale armed struggle against foreign invaders, and quickly broke the attempt of western aggressors to colonize China; The leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom first advocated trade with other countries, and later put forward the first plan to develop capitalism in China. Compared with previous peasant wars, it was better in ideology, organization and revolutionary program, and put forward "China's land system" and "Senior Minister's New Chapter" as its own program. In addition, it also promoted and influenced each other with the Asian national liberation movement at the same time.
The final failure of our country has made countless heroes regret it. However, the painful lessons he forged with blood and life will always be worthy of the vigilance of future generations.
