Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the longest and largest peasant uprising movement in China, once made Nanjing his capital to compete with the crumbling Qing government and at the same time was patriotic. So this is an anti-imperialist and anti-feudal peasant uprising. However, Hong Xiuquan lacked sufficient foresight and willpower, which led to the rapid decline of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
According to historical records, after Hong Xiuquan established the capital, there were 88 officials' wives and concubines in Wang Fu, plus other women, totaling more than 200 people. Its number also ranks among the ancient emperors of China.
He hasn't been out of so many women's houses for years. What's he messing around with? He did nothing, did not go to court, did not lead troops to fight, and did not think about the future development direction and model of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He is just thinking, thinking about how to live a good life today, make himself happy every day, and thinking about how to manage this group of women.
It can be said that Hong Xiuquan is no longer the leader of the heroic peasant uprising, but has become another big landlord. Just like the peasant uprising army in those days, in the end, he became the biggest landlord, went against his will, became the person he hated most, and could not jump out of this strange circle.
Later, Yang took this opportunity to rebel and brought a series of turmoil to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and many heavenly kings were killed. Shi Dakai, the god of war, is dead. Although he later came out to sort out political affairs, he failed to save the declining Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
