Why is the Taiping Army so powerful, and how many Taiping Army are there

If you don't revolt, you won't even have enough to eat, and you won't have enough to eat, and of course you will fight bravely to kill the enemy

After the uprising, no matter what, it was a death and naturally worked harder.

The power of the people was great, and in the late Qing Dynasty, there was political corruption, and there were too many excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and the peasants were not satisfied, so there were conditions for the development of the Taiping Army. Anyway, it's all death, of course, it's for the sake of living better for yourself, as the saying goes, "the living don't fight with the dead", if people are provoked, the power will be great, which is probably the reason why the Taiping Army is powerful.

Solidarity People were enraged.

What does this number mean? The number of troops? The number of people? Or something else?

Taiping heavenly kingdom. The army, in 1851-1852, probably 2-30,000 people, about 100,000.

From 1853 to 1856, it reached its peak, with an army of more than 300,000 and a population of more than 100 million.

From 1856 to 1862, the army declined, and the army gradually decreased, and by 1862, the Battle of Anqing was defeated, and the army was reduced to less than 100,000.

In 1862-1864, at the time of the demise, the number of troops under direct command was about 30,000.

Due to the brutality of the war, the army is replenished at any time, and the number of personnel is attrition at any time, and the archives of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have basically been destroyed, so it can only be an approximation.

There are often hundreds of thousands.

The most powerful generals of the Taiping Army were Chen Yucheng, Shi Dakai, Li Kaifang, Lin Fengxiang, and Tan Shaoguang.

Everything else is rats.

I think the generals in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom are Shi Dakai the most powerful.

Problem description: In the later period of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the Taiping army far surpassed the Hunan army in numbers when fighting with the Hunan army, why did it still lose repeatedly.

Analysis: The combat effectiveness of the Hunan army and the Taiping army.

The Taiping army did not defeat Guilin, which was the provincial capital of Guangxi at that time. Therefore, in Guixiang and Xiang, the Taiping Army's battles were very difficult, which was consistent with the northward movement of the Red Seventh Army.

The combat effectiveness of the Taiping Army should be viewed in this way:

1.As the strength of the Taiping army continued to grow, and the old bones with the strongest combat effectiveness continued to disperse, its combat effectiveness has also been declining. At the end of the battle, the Hunan army also found that it was often easy to disperse tens of thousands of Taiping troops, but it was very difficult to deal with one or two small core troops, and it was very costly.

In the end, it was found that these small troops were all the old troops of Liangguang"Thieves", Zeng Danru Guofan's recital, this situation is mentioned many times, and the words are the same"There are hundreds of thieves inside, all of whom are extremely powerful"

2.The internal strife in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom had a great impact on combat effectiveness. In the early stage, it was very easy for the Taiping army to deal with the Hunan army, and the first battle of Poyang Lake almost completely annihilated the Hunan army, but after internal strife, it was basically difficult to win the battle.

3.The Taiping army grew in Lianghu, but the reason for its defeat basically lay in the Lianghu people. In the later period, a large number of middle-level cadres in Lianghu surrendered when the war was urgent, which was the biggest direct cause of defeat for the Taiping army.

Generally speaking, since the Tianjing Incident, the ideals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom have been lost, and its defeat is inevitable. No matter how capable of fighting its subordinate warriors is, they cannot avoid the fate of defeat.
