As the last feudal dynasty in my country, the Qing Dynasty experienced the 134-year-long prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong. However, after Emperor Renzongrui of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Yongyan was unable to maintain the throne, Emperor Xuanzong of the Qing Dynasty became the beloved emperor of the Qing Dynasty. During the Xinjieluo Minning period, due to the invasion of Western powers after the Opium War, the last tragedy began with the cessation of territory and compensation as the main theme.
After the death of Emperor Daoguang, the young Emperor Wenzongxian of the Qing Dynasty Aixinjueluo Yiqi discovered that another big crisis appeared in front of him, which started in the first year of Xianfeng (1851). The Taiping Rebellion!
Not only did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom conquer Jiangning (now Nanjing, Jiangsu) in the third year of Xianfeng (1853), it was renamed Tianjing and made its capital here. In the next 11 years, it swept through most of the territory, especially causing very serious damage to the Jiangsu and Zhejiang regions, the financial center of the Qing Dynasty.
In June of the third year of Tongzhi (1864), the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan, who had been obsessed with the palace for many years, died of illness, and the 16-year-old Young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu succeeded to the throne. More than a month later, Tianjing was captured by the Hunan army. The young king Hong Tianguifu broke out under the escort of loyal king Li Xiucheng and others and began to go into exile.
In October of the same year, the hungry and thirsty young king Hong Tianguifu was captured by the Qing army in the barren mountains of Shicheng, Jiangxi.
In order to survive, Hong Tianguifu left many autographs and oral confessions in the Qing army camp, during the escort, and in Nanchang, Jiangxi.
Yue Shijun sorted out these petitions submitted by the young king Hong Tianguifu to the Qing court, and found that in addition to the jaw-dropping cowardice, ignorance and groveling, the secrets of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and Hong Xiuquan were also rarely revealed. A veil.
The autobiography of the young heavenly king Hong Tianguifu (1)
Comments by Yue Shijun: In this autobiography, the young heavenly king Hongtian Guifu tells the story of his father, brothers and three children after the city of Tianjing was destroyed. The fate of his uncle's life and death, as well as the person who handled his escape and the general process, you can see how tragic it was!
Among them, "eighty-eight wives" opened up a corner of the debauchery in the court of Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan;
"More than a thousand kings" shows the excessive number of nobility within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; < /p>
The funniest thing is the parrot's lyrics: Yafu mountains and rivers, Yongyong's cub sits, Yongyong's cub sits with his back on his back. This sentence in Hakka expresses the heartfelt wishes of the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan: I hope that the kingdoms he conquered will always be enjoyed by the young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu and his descendants. Combined with historical facts, how ironic and ridiculous it is!
The self-narrative written by the young heavenly king Hong Tianguifu (2)
Yue Shijun’s comment: In the second autobiography, the young heavenly king Hongtian Guifu also reviewed his education experience, but he The so-called textbooks I read included very few Confucian classics. They were basically compiled by Hong Xiuquan himself, making reading useless. As for ancient books, they were all denounced as "demon books" by Hong Xiuquan.
In addition, the 16-year-old young king Hong Tianguifu also exposed his family: he has 4 wives. Well, older men and women can skip this.
The Young Heavenly King Hong Tianguifu personally wrote the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's "Format of this Chapter of Greetings" and "Hymn"
Yue Shijun's comment: "I greet you four times a day. I think the Young Heavenly King Hongtian Guifu was very impressed by the content." It is also down-to-earth: high-frequency words such as "boy", "daddy" and "genuine" are also a kind of psychological suggestion.
As for the "Hymn", it is really difficult to read it in one breath!
Three poems for brother Tang Jiatong
Comments by Yue Shijun: These three straightforward and funny limericks are the blessings of the young king Hong Tian on "the fifth night of the fourth day of October in the Year of Jiazi". A personal letter to Tang Jiatong.
Tang Jiatong was the official who was ordered to escort Hong Tianguifu to Nanchang. Obviously, during the escort process, Tang Jiatong successfully deceived Hong Tianguifu, and Hong Tianguifu also regarded him as a trustworthy and reliable person.
In Poetry 1, Hong Tianguifu, like ordinary people in the Qing Dynasty, disparaged the Taiping Army as "long-haired", and expressed his determination to withdraw completely with "difficult to heart" and "many dangers". After that, he will follow Tang Jiatong home to "take the scholar test". This little king's posture is really low!
In the second poem, Hong Tianguifu expressed his allegiance to the Qing Dynasty and regarded the Taiping Army, including himself, as "rebellious officials and traitors". Tang Jiatong's brainwashing skills are at least at the level of a pyramid scheme master.
Poem 3 is a letter of thanks written by Hong Tianguifu to Tang Jiatong, expressing that he will be a "respectful" and grateful brother. This life-saving straw, I really praise it with all my life when I grab it!
Nanchang Prefecture News Hong Tian Guifu’s Confession
Yue Shijun’s comment: In this confession of the young king Hong Tian Guifu in Nanchang Prefecture, he reviewed the situation of his parents and brothers, and detailed It explains the process of his succession to the throne and subsequent escape after the death of Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, as well as some palace secrets.
Among them, Hong Xiuquan "often eats raw and cold food" and "eats centipedes as delicacies", which is probably unacceptable to ordinary people.
Hong Tianguifu "had been hungry for four days in the mountains and met a man in white clothes with no beard". He was obviously hallucinating due to hunger.
And the sentence "Mother kowtows to me" is really incomprehensible to the etiquette of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. How strange!
A copy of the personal confession of Hong Tianguifu from our hospital
Comments by Yue Shijun: This confession was written by the young king Hong Tianguifu in the governor's office of Jiangxi, and it was also his last confession before his death. In addition to reviewing the details of his family history and the results of his succession and escape, he also expressed his responsibility to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and his future way out.
Specifically, Hong Xiuquan gave his son Hong Tianguifu "four wives" when he was 9 years old, and then refused to allow him to meet his "mother and sisters." This is very puzzling and cruel. .
"The things that conquered the country were all done by King Qian and had nothing to do with me. Even after I ascended to the throne, they were all done by King Qian and King Zhong." In these two sentences, Hong Tianguifu put his He is a willful little brother who shirks all responsibilities.
Regarding his own future, Hong Tianguifu is still deeply tied to Mr. Tang. In pursuit of progress, he must test talents, which is "real".
However, the reality is cruel. Shen Baozhen, who was the governor of Jiangxi at the time, said after learning that Hong Tianguifu was caught: "Hong Fuqi (the Qing court misrepresented Hong Tianguifu's name) is a child with a yellow mouth, so there is no need to mind, but Hong Xiuquan is more than ten years old and is a vicious person." If there are more provinces and evil still left, then the evil spirits and villains can rely on their names to summon all kinds of evil." From this, Hong Tian Guifu's tragedy was doomed from the beginning.
On November 18, the third year of Tongzhi (1864), after writing so many humiliating petitions, Hong Tianguifu was ordered to be executed late by Shen Baozhen.
Young man, you are still too naive!
