Why didn t Hong Xiuquan promise the British to destroy the Qing Dynasty together?

Because Hong Xiuquan had insight into the ambitions of the British, and Hong Xiuquan believed that this was an internal contradiction in the Qing Dynasty and did not need outsiders to intervene. In the last years of the Qing Dynasty, the court was incompetent and incompetent, and the life of the people was miserable, so there were many uprisings, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom led by Hong Xiuquan was the largest number of people in the team, the most powerful, and once occupied half of the Qing Dynasty, at that time, many foreign forces extended an olive branch to Hong Xiuquan, such as the United Kingdom, and repeatedly expressed their desire to cooperate with Hong Xiuquan, but Hong Xiuquan did not agree. <>

Although Hong Xiuquan was born in an ordinary place, but he was flexible and smart, he declared himself the son of God, and came down to save the world, this god's chatter deceived many people, they firmly believed that Hong Xiuquan would lead them to live a good life, and joined the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, under the leadership of Hong Xiuquan, they went all the way south like a bamboo, and soon the Qing army was defeated, Hong Xiuquan established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in Nanjing, set this place as the national capital, and issued a lot of decrees. <>

After understanding the contradictions between Hong Xiuquan and the Qing Dynasty, he desperately tried to win over Hong Xiuquan, especially the British, and sent envoys to Hong Xiuquan several times to send a large number of gold, silver and jewelry, hoping to reach a consensus with Hong Xiuquan, but Hong Xiuquan did not agree, as the leader of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hong Xiuquan was very aware of the ambitions of the British, and knew that if he promised them, it would be to lure the wolf into the house, and the Qing Dynasty would be himself after it was destroyed. <>

And as a Chinese, Hong Xiuquan has always had a noble patriotic spirit, believing that the war between himself and the Qing Dynasty is an internal problem, which can be solved by himself behind closed doors, no matter which side wins in the end, the Qing Dynasty is Chinese, if it cooperates with Britain, it is not necessarily, maybe it is the sandpiper and the mussel fight, the fisherman profits, I have to say that Hong Xiuquan has a very high understanding of this point and has not been carried away by power.

Because Hong Xiuquan had good national integrity and the idea of national independence, he rejected the unequal treaties of Britain.

Because the British are not stupid, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is much more stinky than the Qing court.

Sanmeow wants to destroy the Qing and use Hong Xiuquan.

At this time, the Western powers are watching from the other side, and they are watching which regime will be able to achieve the final victory. The British saw that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was very powerful and thought that the Qing Dynasty would definitely be finished, so they made wishful thinking. The British sent an envoy to Tianjing to negotiate with Hong Xiuquan, hoping that they would recognize the Opium War and the Treaty of Nanking signed by China.

Hong Xiuquan categorically refused after learning of the other party's intention.

Because Hong Xiuquan felt that the Qing Dynasty was its own country no matter how it was said, and it could not collude with foreigners to destroy its own country.

On July 20, the 37th year of Daoguang, Hong Xiuquan came to a small mountain village, which was the most suitable place for him to live in before he got up. He was pleased with the seclusion and danger of this small mountain village, but it was the man who took him to live there.

This person is Hu Yixuan, speaking of Hu Yixuan, this person is also a very strange person. Unlike several other generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, Hu Yixuan is a veritable rich second generation, and his family has money. But he let go of his good life and followed Hong Xiuquan and them to the uprising.

The most unexpected thing is that for Hong Xiuquan's uprising, he sold his house and land, and in the end, Xiao Chaogui couldn't stand it anymore and persuaded him not to be so cruel to himself.

Hu Yixuan's various performances made Hong Xiuquan very satisfied, so he decided to live in Hu Yixuan's home. In September of this year, it was a coincidence that Guangxi Tiandi would raise trouble everywhere, and the Qing army sent many men and horses to chase and intercept it. What's even more coincidental is that Li Dianyuan's troops happened to block the intersection of the village where Hong Xiuquan lived.

This frightened Hong Xiuquan's gang, and Hu Yixuan was even more anxious, if there was a real problem, he couldn't tell even if he had ten mouths. After leading people to break through with no hope, he was very witty and sent people to Jintian Village for help.

As soon as Yang Xiuqing heard about this, he immediately sent Meng De to lead his troops to support, and on November 24, Hu Yixuan and Meng Deen attacked back and forth, and finally broke Li Dianyuan and won the battle.

Many people believe that the Qing army's operation this time was to send people to encircle and suppress Hong Xiuquan after receiving the news. But in fact, until 1852, the Qing side did not know who Hong Xiuquan was. In this way, it is even more impossible to send troops to encircle and suppress him in 1850.

This action was completely unintentional, and it happened to meet this person who almost destroyed the entire Qing Dynasty in the future. We believe that if the Qing side knew about Hong Xiuquan's power in the future at that time, they would definitely send more troops to encircle and suppress it.

Although God gave the Qing Dynasty a chance, it let a rich second generation give a bad thing. We can believe that without Hu Yixuan's loyalty and wisdom, Hong Xiuquan might have died in the village.

For a long time, the reason for the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom boiled down to four words: "I don't understand diplomacy." It is believed that Hong Xiuquan did not know how to unite foreign forces to fight against the Qing Dynasty, but was killed by the Qing Dynasty and foreign forces. In fact, it was not that Hong Xiuquan did not understand diplomacy, and when Britain sent an envoy to him to cooperate, the reason why he refused was simply to see clearly the huge conspiracy behind Britain's proposal for cooperation.

During the Jintian Uprising, Hong Xiuquan clarified his views on foreign forces: as long as they did not oppose their own revolution, they were all brothers in the world, and they would treat each other with courtesy.

Therefore, in the early days of the uprising, the situation in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was very good, and all foreign forces were very supportive, especially the British, who sent people to discuss cooperation with Hong Xiuquan many times to help him deal with the Qing Dynasty. However, what is surprising is that Hong Xiuquan resolutely refused every time, which made the British angry and made himself an enemy.

Why don't you make a good deal, but shoot yourself in the foot? All this can be glimpsed from "Li Zicheng's Self-Statement". It is recorded in the autobiography:

The British went to Tianjing to discuss with Hong Xiuquan to fight against the Qing Dynasty and made a demand, after the victory, the world was divided equally. Hong Xiuquan responded: I want to monopolize the world, and it is impossible to lure wolves into the house.

It can be seen from this passage that behind the British proposal for cooperation is a huge conspiracy to come to China for a piece of the pie, and it is a lion who opens his mouth. From this point of view, Hong Xiuquan's refusal is still quite wise.

Because the British did not have good intentions, the British proposed to help Hong Xiuquan fight the Qing army, and the condition was that Hong Xiuquan obeyed the British orders and obeyed the orders of the British Queen.

Because he wants to be king himself, and he looks down on foreign devils.

It was because the British had a lot of conditions, not only asking for a large amount of finance from Hong Xiuquan, but also asking Hong Xiuquan to cede the land, so Hong Xiuquan refused.
