How did Shi Dakai, the famous general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, die?

In September 1861, Shi Dakai went north and south from Guangxi, and entered Sichuan through Hubei in early 1862, since then, in order to cross the Yangtze River in the north, seize Chengdu, and establish a Sichuan base area, Shi Dakai turned to Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, successively ** Sichuan, and finally crossed the Jinsha River without blood in April 1863, breaking through the Yangtze River defense line. In May, the Taiping army reached the Dadu River, and there was no Qing army on the other side, so Shi Dakai ordered to prepare more rafts and cross the river the next day, but it rained heavily that night, and the river swelled sharply, making it impossible to sail. Three days later, the Qing army arrived one after another to set up defenses, and the Taiping army was blocked by the early rising water of the Dadu River, which had not been encountered in a century, and failed to rush to cross the river many times, and the grain and grass were exhausted, and they fell into a desperate situation.

In order to establish the miraculous feat of "capturing Shi Dakai alive", Luo Bingzhang, the governor of Sichuan, sent an envoy to persuade him to surrender, and Shi Dakai was determined to sacrifice his life to the whole three armies, and after negotiations between the two sides, the Taiping army dismissed 4,000 people by itself, and most of these people were able to escape. The remaining 2,000 people were retained**, and entered the Qing camp with Shi Dakai, after Shi Dakai was escorted to Chengdu, the Qing army was treacherous, and all 2,000 soldiers were killed.

On June 27, 1863, Shi Dakai was tried in the Chengdu Public Court, and made a generous statement, so that the presiding judge was speechless, and then calmly took justice.

The Heavenly King secretly ordered Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui to kill Yang Xiuqing, and Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui also conspired with Gao Chen to kill Yang Xiuqing. Before the Tianjing Incident, Shi Dakai was in Wuchang and Wei Changhui was in Ruizhou, Jiangxi, and Shi Dakai deliberately did not return to Tianjing in time for personal gain, but waited until the killing was almost over. Shi Dakai's small abacus is that if the killing is successful, he can take the opportunity to share a profit, and if he fails, he will not offend Yang Xiuqing.

When he accused Wei Changhui of killing too many people, he didn't mention his breach of trust and his own position, and made Wei Changhui think that you were ** when he was killed? After the killing, you are looking for a reason to accuse me, and you are also suspicious of Shi Da, are you the same party as Yang Xiuqing? This also made Wei Changhui determined to kill Shi Dakai.

If Shi Dakai and Wei Changhui had worked together to kill Yang Xiuqing at that time, the infighting might have ended here. When Shi Dakai waved the slogan of avenging Yang Xiuqing, tens of thousands of soldiers arrived in Tianjing, forcing Yu Nianwan to force Hong Xiuquan to hand over the heads of Wei Changhui, Qin Rigang, and Chen Chengying, while the troops erected by Wei Changhui and others were only a few thousand people left in the internal strife, and Hong Xiuquan had no choice but to hand over the three of them. When the capital was in crisis, Shi Da was happy and narrow-minded and refused to return to Tianjing to relieve the siege, resulting in the loss of Tianjing City.

Shi Dakai in his youth in the township has been widely famous, charitable, helping others, so Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing came to invite Shi Dakai to discuss major matters, conspiracy, 19 years old Shi Dakai led thousands of people to participate in the Jintian Uprising, after the success of the uprising was named the chief general of the left army, at the end of 1851, Shi Dakai was named "Wing King 5,000 years old" by Hong Xiuquan, this is the Wing King Shi Dakai, a generation of military talent and political strategy general.

Shi Dakai is one of the founding fathers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, from the time he was invited to discuss with Hong Xiuquan and others, to the time he led thousands of people to participate in the Jintian Uprising, to the founding of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he has been dedicating his own strength. Slipped in all directions to conquer the south and the north, defeated the siege of the Qing army many times, broke through the encirclement of the Qing army, and saved the Taiping army from the dire situation.

In 1853, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom set up the capital in Jinling, changed the name of the country to Tianjing, and Yang Xiuqing, the king of the east, stayed in Tianjing to handle government affairs, and Shi Dakai, the king of wings, was also ordered to assist Yang Xiuqing. After the success of the uprising, the country was temporarily stabilized, and the princes of all walks of life began to be lazy and extravagant, and hedonism rose. This is precisely the corrupt and bad of those ordinary people, soldiers and civilians, once they have power and money, they do not want to forge ahead, greedy for pleasure, and it is precisely because of this that the national power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom is declining day by day.

Although Shi Dakai was named the king of wings, he was still clean, diligent and thrifty, and did not participate in those extravagant and hedonistic lives, Shi Dakai's image and prestige among the military and civilians were extremely high, coupled with his incorruptibility and simplicity, which made the people and soldiers admire and love, so Shi Dakai also became the most popular winged king Chitose.

After many years, some people may not remember what other princes are and what their names are, but when it comes to Shi Dakai, everyone knows what kind of king Shi Dakai is, that is, the Wing King is 5,000 years old.

Arrested: In September 1861, Shi Dakai went north and south from Guangxi, and entered Sichuan through Hubei in early 1862, since then, in order to cross the Yangtze River in the north, seize Chengdu, and establish a Sichuan base, Shi Dakai turned to Sichuan, Guizhou and Yunnan provinces, successively ** Sichuan, and finally crossed the Jinsha River without blood in April 1863, breaking through the Yangtze River defense line.

In May 1863, the Taiping army reached the Dadu River, and at this time the Taiping army numbered 30,000 or 40,000 according to Luo Bingzhang's draft. There was no Qing army on the other side, so Shi Dakai ordered to prepare more rafts and cross the river the next day, but heavy rain fell on the ridge of Tianjian that night, and the river swelled sharply, making it impossible to sail. Three days later, the Qing soldiers who defended Bimo Yu on the eastern line of the Dadu River came to the opposite bank, and the Taiping army was blocked by the early rise of the Dadu River that had not been encountered in a century.

Wang Songlin, the capital of the Nanzi Battalion, went to the Taiping Military Camp to negotiate, and Shi Dakai was determined to sacrifice his life for the whole three armies. Among them, 3,000 people from the stone department were collected and infiltrated by Wang Songlin, and the remaining 2,000 people were retained and stationed in Dashubao.

Later, seven hundred of the two thousand people crossed the river, were dismissed or killed. After Shi Dakai was escorted to Chengdu, the Qing army attacked Dashubao at night and left more than 1,000 people, all of whom were killed except for 300 old and young people who survived.
