Why did Yang Xiu die, how did Yang Xiuqing die

After the establishment of the capital of Tianjing in 1853, Yang Xiuqing frequently used the privilege of issuing edicts on behalf of his Heavenly Father, mostly to deal with internal conflicts and exclude dissidents. [9] In August 1856, after commanding the Taiping Army to break through the camp in Jiangnan, Yang Xiuqing used this great achievement as an excuse to send a decree on behalf of his Heavenly Father, asking Hong Xiuquan to crown him from "9,000 years old" to "Long live". Taking this incident as a guide, Chen Chengying, the commander of the internal officials, told Hong Xiuquan that Yang Xiuqing was going to seek to usurp the throne.

When Hong Xiuquan learned of this, he immediately sent a secret edict to let Wei Changhui, the king of the north, Shi Dakai, and others, who were leading the troops outside, return to Tianjing to kill Yang Xiuqing. [2]

On September 2, 1856, the Tianjing Incident broke out, Wei Changhui led 3,000 soldiers to raid the Dongwang Mansion by night, and Yang Xiuqing, his family and subordinates were almost slaughtered.

Because he wanted to rebel.

In 1856, after the Taiping army broke through the Qing army's "Jiangnan camp" and relieved the three-year siege of Tianjing, Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, saw that the situation of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was very good at that time, so he had another plan. Yang pretended to be "Heavenly Father descended to earth" and forced the Heavenly King to seal himself from "nine thousand years old" to "Long live".

At this time, Wei Changhui, the king of the north, asked the king of heaven to kill the king of the east, but the king of heaven refused. Later, Chen Chengying reported to the King of Heaven, saying that the King of the East had an attempt to kill the king and usurp the throne, and the King of Heaven secretly ordered the King of the North, the King of Wing, and the King of Yan Qin Rigang to eradicate the King of the East.

In the early morning of the 2nd, Yang Xiuqing and his family were killed, and more than 20,000 people from the Dongwang shogunate, their families and other soldiers and civilians were also killed, which is known as the "Tianjing Incident".

In order to cut off his influence, Hong Xiuquan supported Wei Changhui to kill Yang Xiuqing, and then in order to appease the anger of the people, Wei Changhui was executed again. In the end, Hong Xiuquan's elder brother was in charge, which caused Shi Dakai's departure and all kinds of bad situations later. These are the products of the struggle for power.

Because Yang Xiuqing has too much power, he has threatened Hong Xiuquan's status. So, Hong Xiuquan used Wei Changhui to kill Yang Xiuqing's family. This move caused public anger, so Hong Xiuquan killed Wei Changhui to calm the anger of the public, and by the way, he killed the anger. over

Fighting for power and profit, Yang Xiuqing wanted to force Hong Xiuquan to abdicate and give up power.

One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, and his power has seriously threatened Hong Xiuquan.

This is the most typical embodiment of the restrictive nature of the peasant class in ancient society!

Too much power and arrogance are all reasons.

pointed out sharply that Yang Xiu's death was related to his "talent" and "committing Cao Cao's taboo". "Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms" also wrote that "Taizu has always been worried about changes, and Yang Xiu is quite talented, and Yuan's nephew is also, so he is punished for his crimes." Although the identity of Yang Xiu's "Yuan's nephew" is mentioned here.
