Speaking of Shi Dakai, the wing king, many people's first impression is that he is both civil and military, can be good at fighting, and has repeatedly defeated Zeng Guofan, forcing him to throw himself into the water and fail; He has a noble personality, full of charm and won the hearts of the people. He is the soul of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement. However, the real Shi Dakai is not like this. He is an opportunistic person, lacking tenacious willpower and fighting spirit, which is also the root cause of his ultimate failure. 1in September, 856, the Tianjing incident broke out, the whole city was flooded with blood, and the kingdom of heaven turned from prosperity to decline. According to Li Xiucheng's self-report, the planners of this matter are Hong Xiuquan, Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai. "The North King and the Wing King conspired, so they killed the East King". Interestingly, when the Tianjing incident broke out, Shi Dakai was not at the scene, and it was more than a month after Wei Changhui's massacre that he hurried back to Tianjing to "dissuade". What is the reason?

Maybe many friends will say that Shi Dakai didn't go back to Tianjing because he didn't want to kill each other, so as not to see a river of blood. He felt sorry for this. Actually, the reason is not that simple. This is probably a conspiracy of Shi Dakai. He wants to sit still and watch tigers fight so that the fisherman can benefit. You know, Shi Dakai did a lot of opportunistic things, and Zeng Guofan said that he was "the most cunning thief", which is also the truth.

So, it's interesting to see what "opportunistic" things have happened in Shi Dakai. 1in September, 852, Xiao Chaogui was killed by heavy artillery outside the south gate of Changsha because Yang delayed sending reinforcements. Soon, Yang led all Taiping rebels from Chenzhou base camp to Changsha, where they fought fiercely with Jiang Zhongyuan and Zuo. However, with the increasing number of reinforcements of the Qing army, the Taiping Army is in danger of being annihilated on the spot through the camp. So he asked Shi Dakai to cross the Xiangjiang River and occupy Huilongtang on the west bank. But at that time, the general of the Qing army on the west bank of Xiangjiang River was Xiang Rong, the prefect of Guangxi, who was later the first commander-in-chief of Jiangnan camp. As far as the combat effectiveness of the troops is concerned, Taiping Army has an advantage. However, after many sneak attacks and counter-attacks, Shi Dakai was stationed there, afraid to continue the storm, giving Xiang Rong an open hand and endless future trouble.

/kloc-at the end of 0/857, Shi Dakai led more than 200,000 troops to attack Quzhou, but was stubbornly resisted by the armed forces guarding the city and suffered heavy sacrifices. Therefore, Shi Dakai specializes directly in other places. 1July, 859, Shi Dakai led an army of 300,000, carrying Fu Zhongxin, Lai Yuxin and Mou, and took them directly. Unfortunately, after encountering strong resistance, they immediately surrounded them without fighting, trying to trap Zuo in the city in order to achieve the effect of defeating the enemy without fighting. Unfortunately, this bought time for the Qing army reinforcements. After the arrival of more than 30,000 Xiang troops led by Liu Changyou and Li Xuyi, Shi Dakai fled in defeat, which also opened the prelude to the downfall of Wing King. Originally, the strength was dominant, but the result was a fiasco. The reason is that Shi Dakai is good at "opportunistic". Fight if you can, and miss if you can. Once you encounter stubborn resistance, you will immediately retreat and dare not put all your eggs in one basket and fight with each other to the end.

As can be seen from the above example, Shi Dakai was indeed an opportunist, and so was his performance during the Tianjing Incident. Why do you say that? So, Yang, this is the result of Shi Dakai's consultation with Wei Changhui, but it is only limited to Dong Wang, so we can't expand the scope of attack and hurt the innocent. However, Shi Dakai must know that Wei Changhui won't obey the rules, and will surely slay all the troops in the East and their henchmen, because Wei Changhui is not only sinister, but also bullied by Yang many times. How can he stop there? That is to say, before the Tianjing incident, Shi Dakai had predicted that this was a massacre, a firefight between TEPCO and Nortel. No matter who wins, Shi Dakai is the ultimate winner in life, and his Yidian Group will be the only one, and no one can beat him.

According to the "military division responsibility system" of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, the heavenly king Hong Xiuquan has no actual power, and even the officials of the Heavenly Palace are ceremonial, not administrative; The real power of the kingdom of heaven is in the hands of five military advisers, including Yang, Xiao Chaogui, Feng Yunshan, Wei Changhui and Shi Dakai. As Feng Yunshan and Xiao Chaogui died one after another, only Yang, Wei and Shi were the military advisers of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Shi Dakai was the lowest. Therefore, if Yang and Wei Changhui can be confronted, their strength will be greatly weakened; Without military strength as the basis, both Yang and Wei Changhui can only be obedient and respectful to themselves. Later, Shi Dakai returned to Beijing to assist the government, forcing the king of heaven to kill Qin Rigang (second only to the king of wings). In addition to finding scapegoats, he was more prepared for his own dictatorship; Of course, Chen Yucheng's uncle and Prime Minister Chen were also killed.

However, the Tianjing incident did not really win. Although Hong Xiuquan asked Shi Dakai to return to Beijing to assist the government under the pressure of "uniting with the DPRK", he specifically asked his two brothers, Wang An and Wang Axe, to contain Shi Dakai. In a rage, Shi Dakai led his people to leave Hongjiachao and go it alone. 1June, 863, defeated by Dadu River, died in. 1In July, 864, the Xiang army invaded Tianjing, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom perished.
