Seeing that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom occupied half of the country, the Qing court was anxious. In order to besiege Tianjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they formed two corps, namely Jiangnan Camp and Jiangbei Camp. As a result, they were successively breached by the Taiping Army. Later, with the Tianjing incident within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the situation quickly reversed. 1862, after Zeng Guofan occupied Anqing, his brother Ceng Guoquan led the main force of the Xiang army down the river, and captured Nanjing like a roll along the way, thus launching the defense of Tianjing.
In order to defend the capital, Hong Xiuquan urgently ordered loyal Li Xiucheng to come back. Li Xiucheng quickly withdrew from Suzhou front and led the main force to rescue Tianjing.
However, Li Xiucheng led 65,438+10,000 troops to fight the Qing army in Yuhuatai. The two sides fought fiercely for more than a month, but the Taiping Army failed to defeat the Qing Army.
Li Xiucheng had to lead an army into Tianjing, only to find that the situation in the city was more serious than he thought, and he was trapped under the long-term siege of the Qing army? No food in the house, no reinforcements outside? Situation. Li Xiucheng then made a suggestion to Hong Xiuquan, four words: Don't let the city go.
As a result, Hong Xiuquan flew into a rage, not only rejected his suggestion, but also severely reprimanded Li Xiucheng.
A few months later, the situation in Tianjing City was extremely bad. Li Xiucheng truthfully reported that there was no food in the city and many men and women died. What about asking for a decree? ? Hong Xiuquan immediately ordered: the whole city can eat manna to keep healthy. ? What did Hong Xiuquan say? Manna? It's weeds.
1On May 30, 864, Hong Xiuquan, who was terminally ill, issued his last will: When people feel at ease, I will go to heaven to receive heavenly soldiers from my heavenly father and brother to protect Tianjing. ?
Three days later, Hong Xiuquan died and the young king Tianguifu Hong succeeded to the throne. A month and a half later, the heavenly soldiers didn't come, and the Qing army came. They attacked Nanjing and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom fell.
According to legend, the rise and fall of Hong Xiuquan is not because of anything else, but because of his ancestral grave.
Legend has it that Hong Xiuquan made his fortune because he was buried well in his ancestral grave? Buried in the land of geomantic omen, what is the name of the place where his ancestral grave was buried? Furong? , belonging to Dayu Mountain Range. There are three hills at the southern foot of the mountain, right? Fuchuan port? , left call? Beetle sinus? , on the phone? Ditan? . It is reported that Lai Wenjun, a Feng Shui master in Song Dynasty, visited this place and left a poem:? Hibiscus on your head, stepping on the earth altar. On the right is the dock, and on the left is the wasp sinus. Aoyu kept the mouth of the water, and the lion was like a gatekeeper. Whoever wins the funeral is the prince. ?
Hong Xiuquan's ancestral grave was just buried on the altar, so what happened later? Forcing a scholar? Hong Xiuquan launched the Jintian Village Uprising, which set off the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement that shook the foundation of the Qing Dynasty. Soon, the wind and water flourished, and its power grew rapidly, occupying half of the country, which once made the Qing court nervous all day.
Seeing the danger of national subjugation, the Qing court called the county magistrate Mou Chongling for constipation and cut off the back vein of Hong Xiuquan's ancestral grave to break his feng shui. Break Long Mai? .
Thus, the magical scene reappeared. After Hongjiazu's grave was cut down, Hong Xiuquan was immediately defeated and eventually perished.
Of course, some people think that Hong Xiuquan's ancestral grave was not buried in the main cave, but just touched it? Dragon soul? So it didn't last long. When Tianjing City was in danger, Hong Xiuquan refused to go, exceeding his expectations? Father? Descending to earth is the blessing of our ancestors. If that's the reason, it's really embarrassing.
However, after the Qing army entered Tianjing and Tianwangfu, Hong Xiuquan could not be found. In this regard, Zeng Guofan ordered that Hong Xiuquan should be found dead or alive.
Twenty days later, Hong Xiuquan's body was found, not the Qing army, but a maid-in-waiting surnamed Huang. The maid-in-waiting surnamed Huang claimed to have seen Hong Xiuquan buried in the heavenly palace.
The Qing army took her to identify the scene. Sure enough, a big hole was dug under a osmanthus tree near the Royal Lin Yuan rockery in the Temple of Heaven, but no coffin was found. Hong Xiuquan's body was wrapped in embroidered dragon yellow satin and buried inside.
The Qing soldiers then dug up Hong Xiuquan's body. At this moment, there was an unusual scene, but suddenly the sky was overcast with clouds, thunder and lightning, and then it rained heavily. Some people think that this is a manifestation of the king of heaven.
Despite appearance? God sent it? , but Zeng Guofan no matter so much, or ordered? Destroy the body? . After the Qing army dragged Hong Xiuquan's body out, it was brutally whipped. After the whip, the body was burned to ashes and finally loaded into the cannon. After being bombarded, it was all gone.
More than 60 years after Hong Xiuquan's death, Guangdong warlord Chen heard that Hongjiazu's tomb was a treasure trove of geomantic omen, so he hired a famous geomantic omen to visit it. Dragon cave? His mother was moved and buried in the red stone family cemetery under the lotus. Later, the Chen family really made a fortune, and Chen later lamented: This is really a land of feng shui.
