In human history, many emperors were killed, but the only emperor who was executed by Ling Chi was Tianguifu Hong, the son of Hong Xiuquan, the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom who almost overthrew the 300-year tyranny of the Qing Dynasty.
Hong Xiuquan's eldest son, Tianguifu Hong, was born in her hometown of Hua County by Hong Xiuquan's wife Lai. According to Hong Rengan, his birth was earth-shattering and extraordinary. He said that when the young master was born, the house was red and round, which looked like a fire from a distance. He told this magical scene in Hong Kong and wrote a book in Tianjing, even after he was captured.
He was born in October of the 29th year of Daoguang (1839) and came to Guangxi from his hometown with his mother and others in May of the following year. In the lunar calendar 185 1 February, Hong Xiuquan was called the King of Heaven in Wuxuan Dongxiang. When he became a young master, he was generally called a young master. In fact, according to today's algorithm, he was only four years old.
What's his name? It used to be a big mystery. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is forbidden to mention the young master's name. Naturally, no one knows. Since the Qing side knew that there was this "first rebellion", it called him "Hongfu" according to the lettering on the jade seal. After being captured, he and Hong Ren confessed that at first Hong Ren drew lots to name him Tiangui, but Hong Xiuquan didn't like it. After Tiangui arrived in Guangxi, he changed his name to your house. After Gui Fu became a young master, Hong Xiuquan probably thought the name was too vulgar, so he took back the word Tiangui that he had thrown away. As for "Fu", it is because the word "True Wang Guifu" was engraved on the jade seal, and it was carved horizontally from right to left, which was misinformed and misunderstood.
This gifted child in Hong Rengan's eyes is an out-and-out urchin in Yang's eyes: he likes to play, likes fooling around, often breaks things, wastes things, and doesn't like learning. Hong Xiuquan once took a laissez-faire attitude, so that in December of the third year of Guichou (1853), Yang had to take Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai to seriously ask for Hong Xiuquan and persuade him to strengthen the education of his children.
Although Yang's move is suspected of taking the opportunity to derogate from Hong Xiuquan's authority, it is still insightful. As a revolutionary successor, Tianguifu Hong's quality education must not be a joke. Hong Xiuquan praised this suggestion, indicating that Yang did not fabricate and falsely accuse. Since then, Hong Xiuquan has really stepped up his education work, which shows that despite his growing dissatisfaction with Yang, he still took this advice.
The problem is that Hong Xiuquan's educational methods seem to have serious problems. First of all, he forbade his son to read any ancient books, calling them "demon books", as long as he read "God teaches", that is, books compiled by Hong Xiuquan himself. Not to mention the contents of these books, in terms of quantity alone, up to 186 1, only 29 books have been included in the bibliography, plus some that have not been included, the total number is about 40. You can imagine what Tianguifu Hong can read.
Secondly, he didn't ask a teacher for his son. Emperors of past dynasties paid great attention to the education of heirs, so it is natural to hire famous teachers for the prince. Although the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom attaches importance to martial arts, it should not be difficult to find a competent teacher for Tianguifu Hong under 10. But Hong Xiuquan didn't invite a teacher, and she was eager to teach herself. Before the age of 9, my sister Hong Tianjiao taught me. After the age of 9, there was no record.
1857, he got four wives: Hou Shi in Anqing, Zhang in Hubei, and two Huangs in Guangxi. They were assigned to live in the left hall of the palace, which was regarded as "adults". As an adult, the first arrangement is not allowed to meet other women, such as mother and sister, to reflect the "difference between men and women", but Hong Xiuquan is busy with official business, and Tianguifu Hong often visits secretly.
Hong Xiuquan attaches great importance to establishing the authority of the heirs. In order to teach his son-in-law, Zhong Wanxin, he wrote a book "Ten Stories of Salvation", most of which are about how to make men and women give and receive without being close to each other. Some of them say that boys can't share the bed with their mothers at the age of seven, girls can't hold hands with their brothers at the age of five, and younger brothers can't get close to them at the age of seven 1 foot and so on. Even according to the ethics at that time, it was very despicable and even abnormal. Hong Xiuquan signed Tianguifu Hong's name and changed the title of the book to "Imperial edict of the young master", which was regarded as the transfer of intellectual property rights. The exact year of this book is 1858. It's really funny that a 9-year-old boy solemnly teaches a hot-blooded young man in his twenties how to stay away from women.
Around 1860, Hong Xiuquan began to let his son read the paper, and all the orders to seal the official posts were issued in the name of his son. Even Li Xiucheng captured Suzhou and won by a landslide. Tianguifu Hong, not Hong Xiuquan, won the monkey award. At this time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has entered the era of official approval. Sometimes there are dozens or hundreds of officials a day, and some officials can rise to eight or nine times a month. Tianguifu Hong's appearance rate is not high, but these letters were actually written by Hong Xiuquan and copied and sealed. The reason for doing this is to hope that ministers will be grateful to the young master who promoted their titles and will always be loyal to "father and son Gongsun".
After eleven years (186 1), on February 19, Hong Xiuquan made a sacred decision: to adopt his son Jesus. Hong Xiuquan has always called Jesus a "prince", but "prince" can't be a king. His younger brother has been the king of mountains and rivers for generations, which is really unreasonable. For this reason, he once preached everywhere that Jesus had three sons and two daughters in heaven, but these nephews and nieces in heaven were illusory and meaningless. It can be said that being adopted by Jesus made him "half the son of a heavenly brother and half the son of a heavenly king". In order to commemorate this sacred decision, he replaced all the gold seals and jade seals that had been used for more than ten years with brand-new gold seals and jade seals engraved with the names of Father Tianxiong and their father and son.
His daily life is very boring and monotonous: every morning, noon and evening, he writes a "chapter on greetings" to Hong Xiuquan, but he can't read it casually, and these "chapters" have already been drawn up, and he just needs to copy them one by one; Besides, his time is mainly spent reading those boring books and having fun with four "ladies". It is because he is really lonely that he was deeply moved by a gift from the suspicious official Xiong Wanquan: it is a green parrot, and it will say, "Father is a mountain and river, and the baby will always sit, and the baby will always sit." This parrot is very beautiful. It was not only solemnly named "Ruiniao" by Hong Xiuquan, but also left a deep impression on Tianguifu Hong. Until he was captured, he mentioned the bird several times and recited all the "bird words" word for word.
In the fourteenth year of Jiazi (1864), Hong Xiuquan died at four o'clock in the morning on April 20th, and the young master became the king of a country, but he was unable to be the master of his own family. He can only entrust military and political affairs to his two uncles, Hong Renfa, Hong Renda and loyal Li Xiucheng, and a strange figure, Shen Gui, a Taoist priest in Shexian County, Anhui Province.
But he is not completely out of control: in the past, Hong Xiuquan only allowed him to eat beef, not pork, and not allowed him to drink. Now he can have no scruples; His reading addiction can also be satisfied-he personally wrote a "ticket" and asked for four boxes of "ancient books" to read upstairs.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long: on April 24, he officially acceded to the throne, and on June 6, the Xiang army invaded Tianjing. He left his two younger brothers and four wives, ran home in one breath, rode on the big white horse that Li Xiucheng gave him, and was escorted by a group of soldiers pretending to be the Qing army. He ran to Guangdezhou, Anhui Province, the defense zone where General Taiping blocked the king, and met Hong Rengan.
In July, they set out from Guangde and Huzhou and entered Jiangxi, trying to join forces with Li Shixian, the most powerful Taiping Army at that time, but they were completely blocked by the Qing army. On the morning of August 28th, Yangjiapai in Shicheng, Jiangxi Province was attacked by the Qing army, and the whole army was scattered. He wandered in the mountains for six days and went down alone, trying to escape among the refugees. Results It was discovered by the Qing army on September 13.
Many officers and men of the Qing army are very suspicious of the identity of this "mentally retarded teenager" who can't even tell the difference between mules and horses and their native place. Indeed, the IQ of "Shouinverse" is so low that they really wonder. Tianguifu Hong wrote 10 documents in one breath for fear that others wouldn't believe him, including Confessions, This Chapter of Visiting Hong Xiuquan, List of Officials of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan's Palace Gossip, etc. Naturally, the same is true.
His thinking logic is chaotic, sometimes it looks clear, and sometimes it is chaotic. For example, he dreamed that he was alive and said, "I don't want a wife now, but I will wait until I am twenty years old"; Want to live to test the scholar; I also hope that Tang Brothers, a junior official of the Qing Dynasty who was detained by him, wrote four poems for this "brother" named Tang, of which three poems were written twice in a row, and the second time was written on 1864165438+1018, the day when Ling Chi was executed. It seems that he has a strong desire to survive, and he would not have thought that the most cruel torture in human history would wait for him.
These four poems are as follows:
The master's high knowledge will assist the Qing Dynasty from generation to generation;
A civil servant and military commander, a hero.
It is difficult to keep up with Mao Xin, and it is dangerous to fly east and west;
Now go home with my brother, go back to study and take an examination of scholars.
Now I don't want to be long-haired, but I am dedicated to assisting the Qing Dynasty.
Long live the Qing emperor, thieves and bandits are always hard to escape.
Now, with Brother Tang, I can only try my best to be respectful and kind.
I felt my brother's kindness, and I thanked Ghosn again and again.
I don't know whether it's under the grave or above heaven. How did Hong Xiuquan feel when he saw his heir write such a poem that cursed "long hair" and complimented the Qing Dynasty?
The poor young king had just finished writing a doggerel this morning when he was tied to an ox cart by the Qing army. Four spikes nailed his limbs to the stake on the ox cart, and the sad cry was endless. After arriving in Caocheng, the two executioners cut ten knives and shouted, starting from the beginning and cutting to the calf. From morning till night, Tianguifu Hong was fed gruel at noon, and * * * was killed by 1003. His wailing resounded through the whole city of Cao, and his entrails and cut meat were bought. It is said that testicles and eyes are used as medicines and have been ordered at a high price. ...
