This man is King Chen Yucheng of England! Chen Yucheng, formerly known as Chen Picheng, was born in poverty and his parents died. He has lived with his uncle Chen since he was a child. Later, Chen joined the Boy Scouts in jintian uprising and Chen Yucheng, aged 14. Although young, Chen Yucheng performed very well and soon became the leader of the Boy Scouts. After the Taiping Army occupied Nanjing, Chen Yucheng was named as the "Holy Grain of the Left Fourth Army" and later participated in the Western Expedition.
In the battle against Wuchang City, Chen Yucheng "laid down his life to fight hard, besieged the city and fell into the trap, climbed to the top" and "rushed to the city, causing the officers and men to fall into Hubei Province", won the first prize and was promoted to the 30 th checkpoint of Siyou. That year, he was 17 years old. 1855, Chen Yucheng followed the pro-Japanese program to participate in the crusade, lifted the siege of Zhenjiang, and was made an official and prime minister in winter. However, at this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom broke out the "Tianjing Rebellion" and its strength was greatly damaged.
At that time, there was a situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom that "there was no one in the country and no general in the DPRK", and the situation was very critical. Hong Xiuquan had to choose a young general to take charge of the military power. The first one he chose was Chen Yucheng, named as the team leader, Li Xiuwei as the deputy team leader, then Chen Yucheng as the former army commander and Li Xiuwei as the later army commander. In order to turn the tide, Chen Yucheng and Li Xiucheng joined forces to attack Pukou Qing army.
In the battle of Pukou, the generals of the Qing army fled hastily and lost more than 10 thousand elite cavalry. Since then, Chen Yucheng, Li Xiucheng and 56-point thrashing, completely broke jiangbei camp, swept the northern Jiangsu area. At this time, the Xiang army led by Zeng Guofan was fierce, and Chen Yucheng led the army to help. By surprise, the battle of sanhe town wiped out 6,000 soldiers, the first expert of Xiang. After the news came out, Zeng Guofan "mourned carefully and stopped food for several days."
1859, Chen Yucheng defeated the Qing army in Anhui, captured Anhui Governor Li alive, and later defeated the Shengbao army. Hong Xiuquan was overjoyed to hear the news. Later, he made Chen Yucheng king of England and Li Xiuwei king of loyalty and righteousness. At this time, Hong Xiuquan had not abused the king. Chen Yucheng was only 22 years old that year. Since then, Chen Yucheng has moved to Anhui and Jiangsu, defeated Feng Zicai, and beheaded Zhou Tianpei and others.
1860, Chen Yucheng cooperated with Li Xiucheng to break the Jiangnan camp, and the commander-in-chief and Chun committed suicide after fleeing. The Taiping Army seized "more than 100,000 taels of silver in the camp, and countless lead in all guns and gunpowder of the Quartermaster Bureau". At this time, Chen Yucheng was the number one soldier of Taiping Army. Hong Xiuquan once said: "Yucheng is fierce, not as fierce as Yang, and its strategy is especially high." The Qing dynasty also had a high evaluation. "Thieves are elites, and only four-eyed dogs (referring to Chen Yucheng) have one ear. Why should he worry! "
