Why didn t Shi Dakai, who had a heavy army, leave Tianjing and become the emperor?

Why is Shi Dakai not called the emperor with heavy troops, and why is Zeng Guofan not called the emperor with heavy troops.

The first is that not everyone wants to be Yuan Shikai and Wang Mang, and the second is that Shi Dakai did not have the conditions to be the emperor at that time.

Having the opportunity to become emperor and establishing a dynasty may be the highest goal for many people.

They can do whatever it takes, sacrifice everything, kill their brothers, kill their fathers, and betray their friends.

But there are also those who have higher goals.

The throne is precious, and the price of righteousness is higher, if it is a saint, both can be thrown.

For the sake of righteousness, in order to be a saint, the opportunity to build a country and become an emperor can be given up, just so capricious.

Claiming the founding of the emperor is a very systematic and complicated matter.

When Shi Dakai left Tianjing, he had hundreds of thousands of heavy troops in his hands, but he did not have his own territory, did not have his own logistics base, and the best strategy at that time was to lay down a piece of territory, accumulate strength, and divide one side.

As for the founding of the country, it is a joke to be called emperor before he took a few provinces and established a strong ** and consolidated logistics.

Shi Dakai had nothing but soldiers in his hands at that time, and at this time, the founding of the country and the title of emperor would only make the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the Qing court regard him as a target, and Shi Dakai's troops would be destroyed faster.

First of all, Shi Dakai is a clean and honest person! Although he rebelled against Hong Xiuquan and others at that time, he had no ambition to dominate the world, he knew that his character was not suitable for ruling a country, and he was afraid that his ability was not enough, but it would harm the people of the world. So he didn't want to be emperor just because he had a heavy army.

Secondly, Shi Dakai is a person who pays attention to love and righteousness, and when he overthrew the Qing Dynasty with Hong Xiuquan and others, he already regarded Hong Xiuquan and others as the most important brothers. So when he knew that Hong Xiuquan wanted to dominate, he decided to let Hong Xiuquan be the king, and he couldn't fight with his brother, so he left Beijing at that time.

In the end, because his relatives were killed in the war. So he didn't want to involve himself in any more disputes, because he knew that if he wanted to be emperor at that time, it would inevitably cause a bloody storm, and many people would die innocently! He didn't want that to happen again, because he was afraid of stirring up his heart.

Historical facts are revealed: Because Shi Dakai was absorbed by me as soon as he left Tianjing, I named him Marshal of the Left of Soldiers and Horses, Marquis of Qianhu.

The first reason is because of the containment of Hong Xiuquan and others, not only Shi Dakai can hold heavy troops, but Hong Xiuquan and others can also hold heavy troops, so under the control of many people, Shi Dakai naturally does not dare to easily do things against the wishes of everyone, because that will not only not be beneficial to him, but will also make other brothers suspicious and repulsive towards him, which is not conducive to the harmony of the team.

The second reason is because Shi Dakai is more loyal, in his heart, Hong Xiuquan is the emperor, the supreme leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, his loyalty, tells him that he can't do things that go against Hong Xiuquan, and he can't threaten the interests of senior leaders, so this kind of thinking and concept guides his way of behavior, so that after he leaves Tianjing, even if he has a heavy army, he will not build a country and become the emperor.

The third reason is because Shi Dakai's goal is not here, he doesn't want to be the emperor, he just wants to overthrow this disappointing Qing ** with his brothers, build another new dynasty together, and create happiness for people.

Nothing has been accomplished, there is not even a base area, and you dare to be the emperor!

In September 1861, Shi Dakai went north and south from Guangxi, and entered Sichuan through Hubei in early 1862, since then, in order to cross the Yangtze River in the north, seize Chengdu, and establish a Sichuan base area, Shi Dakai turned to Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, successively ** Sichuan, and finally crossed the Jinsha River without blood in April 1863, breaking through the Yangtze River defense line. In May, the Taiping army reached the Dadu River, and the Taiping army still had more than 40,000 men. There was no Qing army on the other side, so Shi Dakai ordered to prepare more rafts and cross the river the next day, but it rained heavily that night, and the river swelled, making it impossible to sail.

Three days later, the Qing army arrived one after another to set up defenses, and the Taiping army was blocked by the early rising water of the Dadu River, which had not been encountered in a century, and failed to rush to cross the river many times, and the grain and grass were exhausted, and they fell into a desperate situation. In order to establish the miraculous feat of "capturing Shi Dakai alive", Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, and Shi Dakai was determined to sacrifice his life to the whole three armies, and after negotiations between the two sides, the Taiping army dismissed 4,000 people by itself, and most of these people were able to escape. The remaining 2,000 people were retained**, and entered the Qing camp with Shi Dakai, after Shi Dakai was escorted to Chengdu, the Qing army was treacherous, and all 2,000 soldiers were killed.

On June 27, 1863, Shi Dakai was tried in the Chengdu Public Court, and made a generous statement, so that the presiding judge was speechless, and then calmly took justice. [When Shi Dakai was tortured, he was cut more than 100 times, and he was silent from beginning to end. Shi Dakai's awe-inspiring righteousness and strong will shocked the Qing officers and soldiers, and Liu Rong, the political envoy of Sichuan, said with admiration that he "has a strong spirit overflowing on his face, and his words are neither humble nor arrogant, and he does not wag his tail and beg for mercy."

When he was about to be executed, he looked pleasant, and he was the most fierce of the ugly ones. ”

Chronicle of the defeat of Anshun Field Shi Dakai's mistake.

In the layman, looking at the posts here, they all blame Shi Dakai's defeat on the sudden rise of the Dadu River, and it seems that Shi Dakai has no responsibility for the defeat. Shi Dakai is a human being, not a god, if he is a human being, he will continue to make mistakes, and look at how Shi Dakai is walking towards the point of no return step by step. I am not a historian below, and the following repost cannot be verified, and the content is for reference only, and I hope you will correct it.

In April 1863, Shi Dakai, the winged king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, led 30,000 or 40,000 troops to cross the Jinsha River from Qiaojia, Yunnan Province, to realize the strategic policy of "entering Sichuan first, and then trying to disturb the four troubles" for many years. In May of the same year, the Shi army went to Lugu, and divided the troops into "Yuexi, Mianning and Daxiao Road" and took a small road from Lugu in Mianning County to Tiezhaizi, Shuipaoyan, Rotten Niping, Copper Factory, Xinchang to Chaida (now Anshun Field, the same below). One route goes around Lugu to the west, passes through the security to Haitang, turns the bamboo horse pass through the rub, Xinchang to the chaidadi.

On the 14th of that month (March 27, the second year of Tongzhi in the Qing Dynasty), at dawn, Shi Da opened into danger and fell into trouble.

Shi Dakai sent a proclamation along the way, affirming the righteousness to the Yi Tusi, asking them to "not listen to rumors and breed trouble." At the same time, he gave a large amount of money to Wang Yingyuan, Tusi of the Fan nationality (now Tibetan), and Chengen, Tusi Ling, Yi nationality of the Qiongbu tribe. There is the Dadu River in front of Zidadi, there are high mountains and mountains in the back, there is the Songlin River on the left, and the west of Yue is heavily guarded on the right.

The pass is dangerous and narrow, and there is no room for maneuver, which is not conducive to combat. However, Shi Dakai thought that the two toasts could receive gifts and could be unimpeded, but he still led the army to Zidadi without continuous work, which was the first mistake.

When Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, learned that Shi Dakai's army had arrived in Zidadi, he immediately dispatched troops to intercept and besiege it with the "Southwest Trench". Sent people to infiltrate to persuade Songlin Tusi Wang Yingyuan, Qiongbu Tusi Ling Chengen, and promised to defeat the Taiping Army, with heavy property and money, and a reward for official positions. Therefore, Wang Yingyuan was used by the Qing army to cut off the chain bridge of the Songlin River and prevent the Taiping army from taking the road of life in Luding.

At this time, and encounter heavy rain for several days, the water of the two rivers rises sharply, the left crossing of the Songlin River is blocked, the east crossing of the Dadu River is not completed, and the Qiongbu Tusiling Chengen blocks the mountain road crossing with boulder wood, cut off its back road, in this dilemma, Shi Dakai angrily beheaded more than 200 Yi guides, and the Yi people formed grievances, which is the second major mistake. The Taiping army had forcibly crossed the Dadu River and the Songlin River several times, but they were all defeated because the water was too fierce, and the Qing army and Tusi blocked it. "The war and defense are poor, the advance and retreat are lost, the grain is exhausted and the grassroots, the grass and the war horses.

At the same time, dysentery is prevalent, and death is pillowed". The Qing army took advantage of its predicament and attacked. The Qing army also ordered Wang Yingyuan to cross the Songlin River, and Ling Chengen went down to Ma'anshan, and attacked from both sides.

On June 9, the Taiping military camp was burned down again, killing more than 1,000 people and more than 10,000 people falling into the water. Shi Da opened the rest of the rate.

Seven or eight thousand people to Lao Ya Xuan (now Limoi Fort, Farm Township, Shimian County) were blocked by the Yi people, and they lost all their baggage, and there was no way out. Shi Dakai surrendered in order to protect the three armies, saved the lives of his subordinates, and transferred to the Ximagu Qing camp, and was later killed in Chengdu. And the three armies were not saved, and they committed suicide by throwing themselves into the river.

In May 1863, he was defeated and captured at the Dadu River, and was killed in Chengdu in June.

As the saying goes, whoever wins the hearts of the people wins the world, no matter what he does. Getting the support of the people is half the battle. Therefore, Shi Dakai does not want to be exterminated, and should get the support of the people.

What Shi Dakai should have done at that time was to unite with the Chinese revolutionary rebel army, so that his team would not be exterminated.

After leaving Tianjing, he should reinvigorate his morale, recruit troops, and recruit talents so that he will not be exterminated.

After Shi Dakai left Tianjing, he should immediately surrender to Hong Xiuquan, so as not to end up being exterminated.

I can't see the times clearly, and I always think that I want to attack the city, and the more cities we have, the better. The more people you have, the better. Neglect of the training of ** and combatants.

Of course, the ideas of the people of that era were not surpassed. If Shi Dakai can change his concept, occupy the mountain as the king, purchase **, and train a group of personnel with firearms combat experience to be able to manufacture gunpowder. That can persist in fighting in Sichuan, Yunnan and Guizhou for many years.

Unite the army and the Hui people, and fight together, or take **Wan Island and Hainan Island to divide one side.

Establish base areas and carry out land reform.

Quickly find a base area, unite all the objects that can be united, and reserve some status for Hong Xiuquan to find the backer. Develop and promote your own henchmen.

Because they know that their foundation is in **, and they understand that the leader is just a person with a more impulsive temperament, and he doesn't think about the future at all.

After Shi Dakai ran away, he had been under the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but he left the main battlefield of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom; He led the army all the way, repeatedly defeated, and never established a stable base Tuanjian, and finally Shi Da was happy and discouraged, lost his fighting spirit, and wanted to return to the mountains and forests. The generals under Shi Dakai were completely disappointed in him, and Hong Xiuquan, the king of heaven, repeatedly sent people to woo the generals of Shi Dakai's subordinates and promised to add officials to the knighthood, so most of the generals under Shi Dakai abandoned Shi Dakai halfway and returned to Tianjing.

It was because Shi Dakai's generals found that if they continued to follow Shi Dakai, their lives would not be saved.

We know that China has a 5,000-year cultural history, and in this 5,000-year cultural history, countless heroes have emerged, and there have also been countless uprisings. I believe that people who study history or have some knowledge of history have heard of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, which is a relatively vigorous uprising movement in our Chinese history, but it is a pity that the good times did not last long!

Shi Dakai's ability is extraordinary, why did the generals abandon him halfway? Maybe the reason is only 2 words.

In the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, several famous figures appeared, and Shi Dakai was one of them! Shi Dakai's own ability is very good, during the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, he even directly led his troops away and fought alone, and the final result was also surprising, his strength skyrocketed! But after he returned to Tianjing, the generals around him began to gradually break away from him, what is the reason?

Obviously, Shi Dakai is so powerful! The reason why so many generals abandoned him on the way, in a nutshell, may only be because of two words, that is, interests!

You may have doubts about the generalization of these two words, so let's take the facts. First of all, although Shi Dakai is powerful, he is open, not a person who does great things, it can be said that he is not a material that can achieve great things, so there is not much prospect for following Shi Dakai. Shi Dakai's command ability is relatively mediocre, under his command, Shi Dakai's troops can't even win a local armed force, and they will even be chased and beaten.

You must know that Shi Dakai's army was superior in number and combat effectiveness at that time, so it can be seen that Shi Dakai's command ability is quite poor, and those generals also know that there will be no future with Shi Dakai, so they naturally gradually abandoned him!

Secondly, Shi Dakai did not have the ability to stabilize the morale of the army, and Shi Dakai adopted the combat strategy of stragglers at that time. He didn't set up his own stronghold, he only knew that the people with these armies were running around all day long, you must know that the people at that time very much wanted to have a place to live, but Shi Dakai at that time could not complete this requirement. Therefore, many people in the army began to gradually stop accepting Shi Dakai's combat method, and in the end, they gradually left Shi Dakai!

Finally, although Shi Dakai broke away from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, he did not break off diplomatic relations with the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and has always been under the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although Shi Dakai had the reputation of the Winged King at that time, it also meant that he could not give his subordinates the title of king. The reason why people chose to revolt at that time was to live a better life for themselves, and these people who followed Shi Dakai had neither power nor fame, so how could these people follow Shi Dakai willingly?

In addition, Shi Dakai did not listen to other people's advice, so that his troops began to gradually defeat and be killed, which also made many people in the army cold to Shi Dakai, and naturally left Shi Dakai in the end. After Shi Dakai left Tianjing, why didn't the generals around him assist him? Maybe it can be summed up in two words!
