The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom forbade concubines, but Hong Xiuquan gave themyears old son marriedWife, what is the result?
Explore history and open the door to wisdom. Let's travel through time and space together, listen to the stories of history, and taste the charm of history. History is not just about the past, it's a mirror and guide for us.
Let's walk into history, understand history, and grasp the future.
Hong Xiuquan forbade others to take concubines, but married his 7-year-old son to a 4-room wife. Hong Xiuquan named his son"Hong Tian Guifu", creating a rare three-character Han surname in Chinese history.
But the meaning of this name is believed to be"Add ghost charms"Because the old Chinese custom believes that if a child's name is too big, it will not be able to suppress the blessing and is not conducive to feeding. Sure enough, Hong Tianguifu was executed by the Qing army at the age of 16.
If Hong Xiuquan had given his son an ordinary cheap name, would it have changed the fate of his son and the kingdom of heaven?
Tianguifu was forcibly deprived of the opportunity to meet his mother and sisters by his father since he was a child, and his mother, who was only Hong Xiuquan's second wife, lived in the right hall of the ** palace.
Tianguifu could only secretly run over to look at his mother and sisters from afar when the King of Heaven was sitting in the court, because in the kingdom of heaven, attaching importance to the great defense of men and women is an important feature of Hong Xiuquan's words and deeds throughout his life, and it has even reached the level of being unkind.
Psychologically speaking, children who lack maternal love will show personality traits such as timidity, dullness, and sluggishness. Sure enough, after the fall of the Kingdom of Heaven, Tianguifu was captured alive by the Qing army, and all the qualities he showed, such as timidity, rigidity, dullness, and lack of security, were completely revealed.
Hong Xiuquan's hatred of the Book of Confucianism caused Tian Guifu to lose his thirst for knowledge, and he never had the three emotions that Einstein said dominated his life. Although Hong Xiuquan was reading ancient books in the palace, he forbade his son to read them, making Tianguifu's spiritual world barren.
After Tianguifu**, his confession showed that he was naïve and naïve, lacked connotation, had no guidance from the emperor, and only had a sister who was 10 years older than him as a teacher.
As the Prince of the Heavenly Kingdom, Tian Guifu grew up in a female environment and was not exposed to real knowledge and culture.
The absurdity of the matter lies in the fact that this young man who was locked up in the deep palace by Hong Xiuquan could become the ruler who controls half of China. After Tianguifu was captured by the Qing army, he wrote a confession: "I don't remember that I am a ** person, Gan Wang is a ** person, and I am also a ** person." ”
For a person, if he is not stupid, how can he not even remember his place of origin? China has a long history, and every family has a long heritage, and every word on the family tree records the history of the family.
Even if you forget your date of birth, you won't forget your place of origin. From the beginning of the Jintiancun Uprising in 1851, the morale of the Taiping army was high, and they sang all the way to conquer Yong'an, Guilin, Quanzhou, out of Guangxi, into Hunan, down the Yangtze River, and in the spring of 1853, the capital was Tianjing.
Hong Tianguifu came to Nanjing with the torrent of revolution, and since then he has been trapped here, and has never left the gate of the capital. He was a five-year-old boy who was trapped here for 11 years, until the city gate of Nanjing was destroyed by the Qing army, and he was freed, fled the capital, and began to live on the run.
I can't help but feel that freedom is not real freedom, but not freedom is another kind of freedom.
In 1862, Zeng Guofan's younger brother Zeng Guoquan led the Hunan army to besiege Tianjing City, although the Taiping army failed to relieve the siege many times, the Taiping army in the city was still high morale and prepared to fight the Hunan army to the death.
However, on June 1, 1864, Hong Xiuquan died of illness, and before his death, he left a holy decree, hoping that the Taiping army could hold the city, and he would go to the heavenly court to ask for help from his father and brother to defend Tianjing.
However, Zeng Guoquan had already waved 50,000 troops, attacking the city day and night, and the situation in Tianjing was critical. The King of Heaven gladly went to his heavenly father to report to him, leaving the mess of the kingdom of heaven to his son, who knew nothing.
On June 16, 1864, Zeng Guoquan ordered the gunpowder to be ignited, and the Taipingmen city wall was blown open a gap of more than 20 zhang. Hong Tianguifu witnessed this scene from the palace floor, and in a hurry, he left his four young ladies and wanted to escape.
However, his four mothers stopped him and wouldn't let him go, and he lied that he was going to the city to find out what was going on. As a result, he was stopped by the female officials. Fortunately, the loyal king Li Xiucheng appeared in time, pretended to be a Qing army, and fled from the gap in Taiping Gate with the young king.
However, before King Zhong and his entourage could escape, the Qing army came to their senses and covered up the killing. In desperation, the loyal king Li Xiucheng gave his good horse to the young king, and he was captured by the Qing army for riding an inferior horse.
That night, the Young Heavenly King escaped, leaving behind the loyal loyal King Li Xiucheng.
Original text: The road was hard, morale was low, the army was reduced from 1230,000 to less than 10,000, and the kings of the army were either killed in battle, or surrendered, and the soldiers fled in all directions. However, Hong Tianguifu and his downcast courtiers still had hope of reviving the foundation.
They traveled to Guangde, Anhui, and Huzhou, Zhejiang, to meet with the Ganwang Hong Renji. However, Huzhou was short of grain and grass and could not establish a capital, so they decided to go to Jianchang and Fuzhou in Jiangxi to meet with Li Shixian, the king of Kang, and Wang Haiyang.
After that, they went to Hubei and joined up with the Yiwang and Fuwang, with the goal of occupying Jingxiang and using it as a base to plot against Chang'an. However, the Young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu did not expect that he would be closely pursued and killed by a Qing army general named Xi Baotian.
Xi Baotian was dismissed from the rank of Jiangxi political envoy and Yunnan according to the inspection envoy because of his ineffective rescue of Nanfeng, and was demoted to the prefect. He was anxious to make meritorious deeds, and he was bent on obtaining the head of the Young Heavenly King.
He ordered his subordinates: "If you don't capture the Young Heavenly King, you won't allow them to return." After receiving the order, the subordinates pursued them day and night. On the night of October 9, Hong Tianguifu and the remnants came to a village called Yangjiapai in Shicheng County, Jiangxi Province.
Hong Renji planned to march overnight, but it was already dark and there were no locals to guide him, so he had to wait until the fourth watch before leaving. However, Xi Baotian's subordinates arrived at the third watch, and they saw that the Taiping soldiers were sleepy and tired, so they quietly carried out a sneak attack, causing the Taiping army to be in chaos.
Hong Renji was captured, and Hong Tianguifu rode on a horse and fled for his life in the chaos.
Hong Tianguifu, under the pursuit of the Qing army, accidentally fell into the big deep pit. The piece of bread given to him by the well-wisher allowed him to find a trace of warmth in the barren mountains and mountains. He was taken in by a family surnamed Tang, but was driven away four days later.
The family surnamed Tang learned his true identity and faced a difficult choice. In the end, they decided to send him away, but he fell into Xi Baotian's trap because of a small mistake.
The Qing army was searching for the Taiping army everywhere, and when a soldier saw him, he decided that he was the "long hair" of the Taiping army and extorted money from him. When he walked to Ruijin, he met another soldier and wanted to capture him to help carry the burden.
Finally, his "freedom" froze on October 25, when the Qing army discovered him while searching the mountains. Hong Tianguifu revealed his identity and disposition, was captured by the Qing army, and was escorted to Xi Baotian.
After Hong Tianguifu was arrested, he left several confessions and poems, and these precious historical materials provide clues for scholars to study the political ecology of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Scholars ridiculed his confession, but I couldn't help but sympathize with the teenager.
Tang Jiatong escorted him to Nanchang, and when he was arraigned, he burst into tears and put all the responsibility on the heroes of his father's generation. While this may just be for self-preservation, this is how he really feels.
In his confession, he called Tang Jiatong "Master Tang" and "elder brother", and Tang Jiatong promised that as long as he confessed truthfully, he would return his freedom and be able to take the imperial examination. Hong Tianguifu is extremely insecure, and Tang Jiatong lures him with a bright future and human sophistication.
A few days later, Hong Tianguifu wrote three poems, expressing his mood and gratitude to Tang Jiatong. The first poem expresses his determination, the second expresses his loyalty to the Qing Dynasty, and the third expresses his gratitude to Tang Jiatong for his help.
Although Hong Tianguifu is known as "Long Mao", his heart still longs to return to the Han way of life.
Nine years ago, in 1855, the Taiping Army's Northern Expedition failed, all 6,000 athletes were killed, and eight generals, including Li Kaifang and Lin Fengxiang, were captured and escorted to Beijing Lingchi for public display.
At the time of the execution, "where the knife reaches", Lin Fengxiang "looked at it with his eyes, and never tasted it". One year later, in the summer of 1863, the Yiwang Shi Dakai was besieged by the Qing army at the Dadu River and was in a desperate situation.
In order to give his brothers who followed him a way to live, he took his 5-year-old son Shi Dingzhong and Zai Fu Zeng Shihe into the enemy camp and surrendered to Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan. After a brief interrogation, Luo Bingzhang executed Shi Dakai Lingchi.
Shi Dakai was cut more than 100 times, and the whole process was completely silent. He was 32 years old when he died.
The prisoner is the son of Hong Xiuquan, a demon clown, a remnant worm who slipped through the net, and is not worth sending to Beijing, so he was executed in Lingchi, the capital of Jiangxi Province, in order to make people happy. After that, he was executed by Ling Chi, leaving a tragic end.
His death was just a little "meat floss" on the iron bones of the soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. The death of Hong Tianguifu marked the end of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After that, the Qing court carried out a brutal hunt and killing of the Hong family.
Hong Tianguifu in "Taiping Heavenly Kingdom": A Banner, a Tragedy According to references such as "The Truth of the Historical Sites of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom", "The Fierce Scholar Hong Xiuquan", and "Hong Tianguifu's Enlightenment Education and Court Life", although Hong Tianguifu, the son of Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, only experienced 16 years from life to death, his value lies in the fact that he became the banner of the Taiping Army and a symbol of calling on the people to continue to resist the Qing Dynasty.
His ignorance, hesitation, helplessness and absurdity are all part of the tragedy. I have great sympathy for Hong Tianguifu, whose life has been full of difficulties and challenges. He was forced to ascend to the throne of emperor, but he did not have the real power and experience to lead the country.
His tragedy lies in his background and the circumstances in which he lived, and his fate was decided. Although Hong Tianguifu's death was a great loss for the Taiping Army, his life and his contribution to the Taiping Army will always be remembered.
His story is a microcosm of an era, a symbol of the suffering and resilience of a people. Overall, Hong Tianguifu is a tragic figure, and his life and death are part of the history of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
His story reminds us that history is not just the glory of the victors, but also the grief of the losers.
