The Qing army only had tens of thousands, so why could they easily kill the 200,000 Taiping army?

Because the Taiping army was composed of peasants, the revolutionary will was poor, and after killing their leader, the morale of the army was weakened.

Because the Qing army's equipment and personnel were of higher quality, the Taiping army was mostly peasants without military training, so it failed.

Taiping Rebellion.

The former city of Nanjing was a metropolis of 700,000 people, but after the continuous wars of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the population was greatly reduced, and by 1863 there were only 200,000 people left. In 1862, the Qing army completed the outflanking of the city of Nanjing, Li Xiucheng.

Unable to solve the food problem in the city, 13-14 tens of thousands of people were forced to flee out of the city within two years. By the time the city was broken in July 1864, there were only more than 30,000 people left in Nanjing, of which about 10,000 yuan were Taiping soldiers and more than 20,000 ordinary people. Li Xiucheng also said in his confession before the surrender of the captives:

On the eve of the breakdown of Nanjing, there were more than 30,000 people left in the city. After the Qing army entered the city, it <>

Including more than 1,000 Taiping troops within Li Xiucheng broke through, and more than 1,000 other Taiping troops carried out jungle warfare in the city. Among them, more than 1,000 Taiping troops successfully maintained the young superstar to break through, and most of the others were killed. In October 1862, the superstar stone was opened.

Under repeated supervision, the loyal king Li Xiucheng gathered thirteen kings and gathered 300,000 troops to relieve the siege of Tianlu. However, because the guidance was not in place, the kings performed their duties, and after 46 days in Yuhuatai.

In the duel, Li Xiucheng's 300,000 Taiping army either lost to Zeng Guoquan.

of the 30,000 Qing troops, <>

The war of heavenly law was unsuccessful. Therefore, the superstar Shi Dakai was furious and severely scolded Li Xiucheng for not providing proper guidance, and he came to their official rank and stayed in his post to see the after-effects. After Anqing City was captured by the Qing army, the overall combat objectives of the Ming army slowly moved to Jiangsu Province and Zhejiang Province, and the first overall target of the attack was selected as Suzhou City, which was defended by the Taiping Army.

At that time, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement.

King Li Xiucheng changed Jiangsu Province to Sufu Province, the provincial capital.

It was built in Suzhou City. The city wall of Suzhou is towering, the fortifications are sound, it can be called the copper wall and iron wall, there are more than 40,000 garrison troops, and more than 20,000 people are stationed in Wuxi City, <>

Reinforcements to the city of Suzhou are available at any time. The poem says, "Hold the bow when you are strong, use the arrow when you use the big, shoot the man first and shoot the horse, capture the thief and capture the king", the Ming army can kill hundreds of thousands of Taiping troops overnight, that is, of course, planning and preparing in advance. The famous generals of the Taiping army were all killed, the dragons had no leader, and the well-equipped and long-planned Ming army could certainly kill tens of thousands of Taiping troops according to the plan.

Li. Invite the Taiping army to dine, ambush more than 100 knife and axe hands at the banquet, after three rounds of wine, Li Hongzhang threw the wine glass to the ground, the knife and axe hands rushed out, and the eight generals were all chopped into pork sauce, and at the same time, the sentry posts of the eight generals were killed.

There are several reasons, the first is that the Qing army deceived the Taiping army and promised a policy of preferential treatment of prisoners, but after surrendering, they killed all the prisoners of war. The second is that the dragons have no leader, the eight kings of the Taiping army have run and died, and the army without a leader has no combat effectiveness. The third is the lack of faith, these rebellious Taiping soldiers are only forced by life, but do not have the determination and faith to overthrow the feudal system, so they want to protect themselves when facing the Qing army, and do not dare to let go.

It is estimated that because the Qing army chose a surprise method, the Taiping army was wiped out before they could react.

Because the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom claims to have 300,000 horses on the surface, in fact, there are not so many, they are very disunited internally, and there will always be some disputes, plus most of the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are villains who forget their interests, they will only think about their own interests, and will not think about the people at all, so this situation will occur.

This is due to the fact that the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement did not have the corresponding leadership experience, which led to the fact that the entire army was very weak, which also led to the fact that the strength of the army was not strong, and only 30,000 troops could defeat them.

Because for the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at that time, there were very many people who fell into the war, that is, many people within the country rebelled and then defected to the Qing army.

How many people did the Manchu Tartars use to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom?

At that time, the Taiping army had lost confidence in themselves, and most people felt that the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom would soon fall. At this time, they felt that they were all guilty people and would face severe punishment from the Qing court in the future, so many people thought about making meritorious contributions, and there was a situation of defection.

Because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, they said that they had 300,000 troops, but in fact there were no troops at all. Another point is that many soldiers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have fallen one after another. Let Qing ** give them a way out.

Because the strength of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was uneven, many of them were peasants, and they had no formal training, so the Qing army only used 30,000 troops to encircle and suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was actually founded by peasants leading an uprising, because in the later period, the political situation within the Tianping Heavenly Kingdom was also turbulent, the people's morale was weakened, and the combat effectiveness declined, so the encirclement and suppression consumed very few troops.

When the Qing army encircled and suppressed the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, although there were only three troops, these 30,000 were all veterans, all of whom were fought through Xuehai, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom were all old, weak, sick and disabled, and had never fought.

The Hunan army out of the province was about 100,000 troops at its peak, and it has always been scattered in all directions, with more than 1,000 people in small parts and more than 10,000 people in most places, and the largest troop gathering was before the capture of Nanjing, gathering more than 80 battalions, about 40,000 people.
