After the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, where did the rest of the soldiers go?

<> after the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement, those soldiers were exiled to **? Some people say that they have fled overseas, but in this case, who are the people who have fled and settled overseas?

The overseas countries mentioned here include Hong Kong, Macao, South Asia, the United States, and other places, all of which are outside the scope of the Qing government's administration.

As early as after the internal strife in Tianjing, Lai Hanying, who was able to write and be good at martial arts, saw his comrades fighting in the same room, so he lost faith in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, slipped out of Nanjing, and returned to his hometown in the early 20th century after living in Hong Kong for many years.

In fact, after the fall of Tianjing, there were indeed some Taiping Heavenly Kingdom figures who lived in hiding in Hong Kong, and now there are records of Yutian, the prince of Sen, who served as the commander of the naval army, who secretly transported arms and food to the rest of the Taiping army in Zhangzhou, and Mingli opened the Jin Chengtai store, and later was extradited to Guangzhou and killed with another person who lived in Hong Kong.

According to research and investigation, there are also Hong Xiuquan's three nephews who took refuge in Hong Kong, Langwang Hong Kuiyuan used scissors sharpening scissors to cover, and later became a police inspector Wang Hong Shaoyun initially engaged in selling salted fish as a business, and finally opened a Guangjitang pharmacy in Jiulonghong, Ying Wang Hong Chunkui fled to Hong Kong and changed his name to Hong He, sold himself as a piglet to go to Cuba as a guano digging laborer, and then returned to Hong Kong to practice medicine in hanging pots, and later on the eve of the Xinhai Revolution, Hong Quanfu who planned to establish the "Ming Shun Heavenly Kingdom" was him.

These are only the names of the leading figures, whose deeds are unknown as the years go by, and the lack of written and oral legends of others in exile is unknown.

It is said that many members of the Taiping Army also went to the United States, which is related to the large number of laborers needed in the United States to reclaim the west, and the mid-nineteenth century was a period of great capitalist development in Europe, and thousands of laborers were also needed.

At that time, after the capture of Suzhou, Gordon, a British major and leader of the "Victorious Army", used the Taiping prisoners as piglets, and loaded them into military ships to work as hard labor in British colonies such as Guyana.

For example, Hong Kuiyuan, the eldest son of Hong Ren and a conversant in English, fled to Fuhai in Guangdong after the fall of Tianjing, and later went to the United States to work in Gron, and then lived in British Guiana, South America.

Of course, modern China is no longer a closed world, and in this context, the officers and men of the Taiping Army knew how to go overseas when they could not settle down on the mainland after the defeat, so there were many theories of the above-mentioned true and false.

Due to the limitations of time and space factors, each of the statements cited here, even if they are conclusive, is still many years away, and the investigation and posthumous records of later generations, as for speculation, reasoning, and fabrication, it is inevitable that there are so many theories about the Taiping soldiers in exile overseas, and how many Taiping soldiers are hiding in Hong Kong and overseas?

The first is to be killed, which goes without saying. The second is to return to their hometowns, which is a relatively minority. The third, and most important, direction of diversion is to join the Twist Army and the anti-Qing rebel armies in various places. <>

It is mentioned in the historical manuscripts of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and the notes of the Qing people that many people in the Twist Army participated in the Taiping Army, and after the defeat of the Taiping Army, a large number of soldiers were still scattered everywhere under the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and later directly joined the Twist Army. The other is to participate in the struggle for the remnants of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the south.

Some participated in the Twist Army, some surrendered to the Hunan Army, and the rest became incognito ordinary people.

Shi Dakai sent Ren Shuxian to the mountains of Sichuan, and made a living by teaching the children of the Liu family to read, and his most proud disciple became the Chinese god of war.

Sichuan does have some descendants of His Royal Highness Shi Dakai, the Wing King, and now they are all speaking in the vernacular!

The captives were sold by the Manchus for a tael of silver and went overseas to work as laborers.

The reasons for the failure of the Taiping Rebellion were:

1. The reactionary forces at home and abroad were too strong, and the Qing Dynasty concentrated reactionary forces all over the country, including the ** and local governments, the army, the Manchu and Han landlords and bureaucrats, and pursued the policy of "borrowing teachers to help suppress", colluding with foreign invaders to jointly suppress the Taiping Rebellion, and the peasants' struggle could not defeat them;

2. The leaders are not authoritative enough, and the peasant class leading the movement is not the representative of the new productive forces, but is limited by the class and the times;

3. Lack of combat guidance, the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, such as Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing, did not have scientific revolutionary theoretical guidance, and were unable to put forward a thorough revolutionary program against foreign invading forces and domestic feudalism;

4. Lack of internal unity, the reputation of the leading group to imitate the serious sectarian ideology within the group, and the resulting struggle for power and profit, undermined the unity of the uprising team and greatly weakened its own strength;

5. The leaders were proud and complacent, and after the capital was set in Tianjing, the leading group was proud and complacent, greedy for enjoyment, and strictly distinguished the ranks, which made the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom regime feudal, seriously separated from the people, and gradually lost the support of the people.

The root cause of the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement:

1. The peasant class is not the representative of the new productive forces and relations of production. They are unable to overcome the class limitations inherent in the small producers, and thus are unable to come up with a complete and correct political programme and a programme of social reform from the ground up. The inability to stop and overcome the growth of corruption in the leading group itself, and the inability to maintain the unity of the leading group for a long time weakened the centripetal force and combat effectiveness of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.

2. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom used religion to organize and mobilize the masses, but the worship of God was not a scientific ideological theory, and it not only failed to correctly guide the war, but also brought harm to the peasant war.

3. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom also failed to treat Confucianism correctly.

4. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom could not distinguish the invaders of Western countries from the masses of the people, and lacked a rational understanding of the Western invaders.

Objective reasons: Chinese and foreign reactionary forces colluded to jointly suppress the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
