Why did the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have the most deaths?

First of all, its nature is different from that of the Boxers, and its nature is: anti-imperialist and anti-feudal! Another important reason is that, like the Boxers, they were jointly suppressed by Chinese and foreign reactionary forces.

Taiping Rebellion.

Hong Xiuquan led the Taiping Rebellion, and the rebels sacrificed more than 4,000 people in the six years after the uprising; However, in 1856, during the internal strife, Hong Xiuquan used Wei Changhui to kill more than 6,000 people of Yang Xiuqing and his cronies, and killed a total of 20,000 civil and military ** in two months. Later, he used Shi Dakai to come to Tianjing to make it difficult, Ling Chi executed Wei Changhui, cut his body into many pieces, each piece was two inches, hung on the eye-catching fences everywhere, and marked with the words "Northern traitor meat, only allowed to see and not allowed to take", which is really powerful. The "Hongyang Change" led to the killing of more than 100,000 people.

In 1864, after Zeng Guofan led the Hunan army to invade "Tianjing", he killed hundreds of thousands of people; None of the more than 30,000 soldiers in the entire Tianjing City surrendered, and all of them died or committed suicide. When the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was strong, Nanjing had a maximum of 1 million people, but after shaving their heads for more than 10 years, by the time Guangxu ascended the throne, Nanjing was less than 500,000!

On the eve of the outbreak of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (1851), the Chinese population was 100 million, after the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom (1863), China had only 100 million people, and a peasant war caused China to lose 200 million people [40 million people died in the war], how cruel! By 1911, the country had recovered to 100 million people.

Statistics show that more than 20 million people died in the war caused by the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Other experts point to the death of 50 million people as a result of the disaster. Regardless of the detailed data, this war has caused great ** and destruction.

In 1853, the Taiping army captured the Jiangnan region, and the war required them to cut off the transportation lines on the Grand Canal. The Qing court and merchants had to divert routes, and this artery, which once dredged the north and south, was abandoned in favor of maritime transportation.

This situation led to the rapid collapse and decline of the city driven by the canal economy. War can destroy a city in an instant, and Hangzhou is an example. The Taiping army captured Hangzhou, and the prosperity instantly turned into a ruined wall.

After the Taiping Rebellion, the population of the entire Jiangnan region fled to death, and there were very few deaths left. No one can tell how many people died in this disaster. I only know that there are legends, there are bones that have been killed and places that have not been buried, such as in Anhui, which shows how many people can be killed and injured, and how serious it is.

Hangzhou was captured twice, and more than a million people died in Hangzhou, leaving 70,000 locals.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was established to rebel against the rule of the Qing Dynasty, and during its existence, it did many good things for the benefit of the people, but it eventually failed due to the limitations of the peasant class. It cannot be simply said that it is good or bad, but it can only be said that it is an inevitable product in the context of the times at that time.

The political program of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was still good in the early days, but after the capture of Nanjing, they began to covet personal pleasure and disregarded the suffering of the common people.

It should be good, because the original intention of the Taiping Movement was to overthrow the corrupt Qing Dynasty, but later the purpose changed.

As of April 2021, there is no official Taiping Rebellion.

Data on the number of people who have been sacrificed.

The Taiping Rebellion was the largest war in Chinese history, and it was also the worst civil war in the world. The total number of ** people is inconclusive, with various statistics ranging from 10 million to 70 million missing, emigration, death or injury. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom stabilized its administrative territory in the prosperous areas south of the Yangtze River, mainly in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangxi, and Anhui, and the population under its rule was roughly close to 30 million.
