As you must know, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom headed by Hong Xiuquan was one of the few peasant rebels in the Cixi Dynasty in the late Qing Dynasty. In its heyday, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom once posed a very heavy threat to the rule of the Qing Dynasty. However, we all know that Hong Xiuquan is an extremely narrow-minded, selfish and ambitious person. He can't have achieved this by himself. He must have good people under him. Yes, this person is Chen Yucheng.

Chen Yucheng was promoted by Hong Xiuquan after the death of Yang in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, when the morale of all the staff of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was unstable and was about to be dissolved. At that time, Chen Yucheng was still too young to be convinced, but his performance convinced all the Taiping rebels who raided Wuchang. Zeng Guofan also said that there had never been such a fierce thief since the Han and Tang Dynasties. So how did the brave Chen Yucheng finally die?

Chen Yucheng is so talented, but it's a pity that Hong Xiuquan is such an unreliable leader. 186 1 year, he and Li Xiucheng agreed to fight Zeng Guofan in Anqing. It's a pity that Li Xiucheng didn't arrive, which made this defeat and led to the fall of Anqing. Hong Xiuquan blamed Chen Yucheng, removed his throne and made his ministry king. This made him unable to command his own troops, which indirectly led to his betrayal by traitors within the Taiping Army, which led to Chen Yucheng's capture.

After Chen Yucheng was captured, he was tortured and refused to surrender, which angered corrupt officials in the Qing court. In addition, when Chen Yucheng led the Taiping rebels, it really caused a lot of trouble to the Qing court, and it was also a headache for the Qing court. Therefore, in the end, the Qing court sentenced the king of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to death.
