Tianjing was captured, Cixi ordered the body to be divided Hong Xiuquan, why did Zeng Guofan resist

When Zeng Guofan invaded Tianjing, Hong Xiuquan had been dead for more than a month and was buried, so Zeng Guofan could not carry out the decree of the Empress Dowager Cixi, not to mention that Zeng Guofan and Hong Xiuquan had dealt with each other for more than ten years, and they felt sorry for each other. Hong Xiuquan was the leader of the Taiping Rebellion in the late Qing Dynasty, and under his leadership, the Taiping Rebellion flourished, occupying many cities successively, which made the Qing Dynasty at that time quite fearful. <>

Empress Dowager Cixi, as the ruler of the Qing Dynasty at that time, hated Hong Xiuquan and others, and she boldly used Zeng Guofan and others to allocate funds to help Zeng Guofan form the Hunan Army under the extremely difficult financial situation of the Qing Dynasty, and then Zeng Guofan was ordered to begin the encirclement and suppression of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for more than ten years. Zeng Guofan was a scholar by training, and was not familiar with marching and fighting at first, and suffered many defeats in the process of fighting Hong Xiuquan, but he was very clever and good at summing up, and finally defeated them in one fell swoop when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had already occupied Nanjing and established the capital. <>

In fact, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom established the capital, several high-level leaders indulged in pleasure, especially Hong Xiuquan, who was drunk all day long and ignored all big and small things, which led to several internal disputes within the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and greatly damaged its strength. When the Qing army was defeated and retreated in the battle, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom already had signs of decay, Hong Xiuquan wanted to remedy it at this time but was powerless, and in desperation, Hong Xiuquan chose to commit suicide. <>

After Zeng Guofan occupied Tianjing, the Empress Dowager Cixi was ecstatic, in order to relieve the hatred in her heart, she sent an edict to Zeng Guofan overnight to order him to unload Hong Xiuquan into eight pieces, Zeng Guofan was very hesitant after receiving the holy decree, after all, Hong Xiuquan had been buried for a long time at this time, not to mention that as his former opponent, Zeng Guofan had great respect for Hong Xiuquan, so he refused the will of the Empress Dowager Cixi on the grounds that the body of Hong Xiuquan had rotted after receiving the holy decree, fortunately, the Empress Dowager Cixi had been carried away by the news of victory, Didn't think too much about it.

Zeng Guofan has never resisted the decree and disrespected. It's just that when Cixi gave the order at that time, Hong Xiuquan's body had not been found, so Zeng Guofan spent a little more time looking for his body, and after finding it, he immediately executed it.

The reason why Zeng Guofan did not obey the decree was because he was afraid that the division of the corpse of Hong Xiuquan would cause public anger, and the situation in Tianjing City had not yet stabilized at that time.

Because Zeng Guofan thinks that Hong Xiuquan is a person who wants to do something good for the nation. He considered him a hero.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, which had been vigorous for 14 years, finally perished

In 1864, with the unremitting efforts of the two brothers of Zeng Guofan, Tianjing City was finally breached, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was destroyed, and the Hunan army rushed into the city, killed all the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and captured Hong Xiuquan's sons Hong Tianguifu and Li Xiucheng. The Empress Dowager Cixi in the capital heard that Zeng Guofan had broken the capital of the sky, and jumped up with joy, Hong Xiuquan's Taiping Heavenly Kingdom has always been a great disaster for the Qing court, and now Cixi is very excited to get rid of her henchmen, but she hates the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the core, and ordered Zeng Guopan to arrest Hong Xiuquan.

The Empress Dowager Cixi hated the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom to the core

At that time, Hong Xiuquan had been dead for two months, but the Empress Dowager Cixi was still unwilling to let him go and ordered to be put down"Hong Xiuquan's body, after finding it, filed the corpse, and still passed on the place where the victim was killed, in order to vent the anger of the public! "That is, to dig up Hong Xiuquan's bones, then decompose and scatter them, and want to spread them all over the country to show the public. For the captives of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Empress Dowager Cixi had one more order:

Li Xiucheng and Hong Da were escorted back to Beijing and punished after the trial. “

In fact, there was a reason why Cixi ordered the arrest of Hong Xiuquan and Zeng Guopan's anti-decree

We all know that when Hong Xiuquan rebelled, he killed people and set fires along the way, robbed property, and finally settled in Tianjing, hiding a large amount of property. Cixi wanted to fill the treasury with this wealth, but Zeng Guopan wanted to take it for himself, and he also wrote to Cixi and said:"The wealth of the thief, gold and silver like the sea, is the old nest, and there is no goods and wealth, and it is beyond expectations.

>Therefore, in order to avoid these problems, Zeng Guofan dealt with the people of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in this way. However, Cixi also understood that Zeng Guofan had a heavy army, and if he was persecuted, he might rebel, so he would not be able to do so.

According to Cixi's intention, Hong Xiuquan was to be pressed to Beijing Lingchi to be executed, but Zeng Guofan beheaded Hong Xiuquan as soon as possible. It was because Zeng Guofan was afraid that after he arrived in the capital, he would tell Cixi what he persuaded Hong Xiuquan to rebel against the Qing court, and he was also saving his life!

Zeng Guofan once persuaded others to rebel against the Qing **, he was afraid that Hong Xiuquan would talk nonsense in front of the Queen Mother, causing the Queen Mother to be suspicious and worried that her life would be threatened. So, kill Hong Xiuquan first.

Because Zeng Guofan was afraid that Hong Xiuquan would tell Cixi about the conversation between them, he took the risk of beheading him by resisting the decree.

In fact, there is a secret involved in this, it is said that when Hong Xiuquan rebelled, he burned and looted a lot of property along the way, and after the capital Tianjing, he gathered together in his belongings.

Because Zeng Guofan was afraid that Hong Xiuquan would frame him for rebellion! In that case, Li Xiucheng won't be able to live, anyway, Hong Xiuquan's son has been caught, and he is not afraid that Hong Renji will continue to rebel, so he simply killed Hong Xiuquan to avoid future troubles, and Li Xiucheng can't control it!

He once greatly admired and deplored the loyal and brave and brilliant loyal king Li Xiucheng. Stealing the day and releasing Xiucheng to return to his hometown.

Because Zeng Guofan knew that he could not persuade Hong Xiuquan not to violate the Qing Dynasty, and that he could not complete the task and could not go back to hand over the errand, he decided to kill Hong Xiuquan directly.

Because Zeng Guofan was afraid that Hong Xiuquan would say something to Cixi and affect himself, he quickly cut through the mess and beheaded him.

Zeng Guofan disobeyed Cixi's will and beheaded Li Xiucheng. To put it bluntly, Zeng Guopan was also afraid that the Queen Mother would be suspicious and save his life.

Zeng Guofan naturally heard about the legend of the treasure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but he searched everywhere and found no treasure.

Garbage articles, not even stall literature.

Who captured Hong Xiuquan alive? Is there a problem with the brain? Before the attack on Nanjing, Hong Xiuquan had already seen God.

Because Zeng Guopan admires Hong Xiuquan very much and thinks he is a real man. It's just that the forces represented by the two are different, otherwise they must be friends. The two sympathized with each other, so much so that Zeng Guopan resisted.

Because before this order was issued, Zeng Guofan had already dug up Hong Xiuquan's body and disposed of it. Because of the time difference between sending letters in ancient times, Zeng Guofan seemed to be disrespectful.

In fact, because of the inconvenient transportation in ancient times, Cixi's edict took half a month to reach Zeng Guofan, and before that, Zeng Guofan had already disposed of Hong Xiuquan's corpse and did not leave the whole corpse.

Because Hong Xiuquan was still able to get the respect of many people at that time, Zeng Guopan resisted.

Because when he received the news, he had already chopped Hong Xiuquan's body into pulp, he hated Hong Xiuquan very much, and there was no way to divide Hong Xiuquan's body.

Because Zeng Guofan felt that Hong Xiuquan was a very capable person who could be reused by the imperial court, he felt that Ying Ru Cixi Yu Songyun was a bit of a waste of talent, so he would resist and disobey the order.

Because the Hong Xiuquan found by Zeng Guofan was just a corpse and could not be divided, he used the method of "crushing bones and scattering ashes to make trouble in the cover".

Because Cixi made the will on August 11, and Zeng Guofan burned Hong Xiuquan's body and stuffed it in the cannon on August 1, and the bones were crushed, because the body at that time was already decomposed, and it could not be accurately determined that it was Hong Xiuquan? Therefore, Zeng Guofan was unwilling to make extraneous branches and affect his military exploits, so without consulting Cixi, he decided to break his bones and scatter ashes.

Because Zeng Guofan didn't think that Hong Xiuquan was a good person, so he would resist the order and not guess and obey it, I think his approach is really quite gentlemanly, and ordinary people would have carried out this task a long time ago.

In 1864, the Hunan army's Zeng Guoquan Department, has besieged Tianjing like an iron bucket, Hong Xiuquan previously ordered the Taiping army to come to Qinwang, but only Li Xiucheng came, in the next Hong Xiuquan let Li Xiucheng attack Hubei, used to lift the encirclement of Tianjing, but Li Xiucheng was defeated and retreated, at this time the number of Hunan troops attacking the city increased to forty or fifty thousand, Hong Xiuquan urgently ordered Li Xiucheng to return to Beijing to organize defense, at this time Tianjing was already doomed, the later Tianping army was not subordinate to each other, and the corruption was serious, So Tianjing was doomed to fall at that time.

Under a loud bang, the city wall of Nanjing was blown up by the Hunan army, the Hunan army invaded the city, and then the Hunan army burned and looted in Tianjing City for seven days and seven nights, the city of Nanjing was full of blood, and there was a mourning everywhere, because Hong Xiuquan died of illness a few months ago, Zeng Guofan ordered someone to dig up Hong Xiuquan's body, and then chop the body into meat sauce, and finally burn the body to ashes, and then put the ashes into the cannon, and finally the real bruises the bones and scatter ashes. So why did Zeng Guofan abuse Hong Xiuquan's corpse like Wu Zixu whipped the corpse of King Chuping?

Then look at the entanglement between the Hunan army and the Taiping army, it can be said that the Huai army, the Eight Banners, and the Green Battalion of the Qing Dynasty are not the main opponents of the Taiping army, and the Hunan army is the sworn enemy of the Taiping army.

Moreover, the Hunan army was formed with the ties of fellow villagers and patriarchy, and they were all brothers, fathers, sons, teachers and students, so the hatred between the Hunan army and the Taiping army was great. Then there is Zeng Guofan's own hatred, to say that everyone who believes in Confucianism hates Hong Xiuquan, but Zeng Guofan not only hates because of his thoughts, but also because he was almost killed by the Taiping Army twice, do you say that Zeng Guofan can not hate.

Because the former hates the latter very much, and he suffers a lot at the hands of the latter.

Zeng Guofan did this in order to follow You's example with respect. Kill the chicken and show it to the monkey. The purpose of disposing of Hong Xiuquan's body in this way is to deter others and make others dare not rebel and revolt.

In fact, it was because he wanted to kill him, and there were certain contradictions and disputes, and he also felt that his style and behavior were too bad and could not be forgiven.
