History live broadcast: the beginning is Qin Shihuang's live broadcast of the subjugation of th

"At that time, the British King Chen Yucheng of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom began to notice the Hunan army attacking from the edge, and led his troops to help Taihu Lake."

"Because Chen Yucheng was dazzled by the momentum of his previous battles and victories, he underestimated the Hunan Army's attack, and Zeng Guofan's own son directed the battle on the Hunan Army's side. In the end, the Taiping Army was defeated and had to retreat. In this way, Taihu Lake also fell into Hunan In the hands of the army.”

"In order not to give the Taiping Army a chance to breathe, the Hunan Army that captured Taihu launched another attack a few days later."

"Continuous pursuit of Chen Yucheng's remaining troops, so far, Shipai, Taihu, Qianshan, and Songyang have all been occupied by the Hunan army."

"Chen Yucheng, who retreated to Tongcheng, was basically cut off from Anqing because of the more than 10,000 Hunan troops crossing the trailer river."

"In the end, the Hunan Army troops came to Anqing City, but they only set up camp and built fortifications, and did not take the initiative to attack the city. The entire Anqing City was completely surrounded by the Hunan Army."

"The leaders of the Taiping Rebellion, Hong Xiuquan and Li Xiucheng, did not fully understand Zeng Guofan's strategy at first."

"Although they know that Anqing is of great significance, it is not as good as the lifeblood of the Qing court, the Jiangnan region."

"So when the Hunan Army invaded Anqing in a large scale, Hong and Li also believed that it was a good solution to control the Jiangnan area first to establish a solid foundation, and then go back to rescue Anqing."

"Even in order to remove the Jiangnan camp set up by the Qing army near Tianjing City, Hong Xiuquan mobilized many Taiping troops to return reinforcements, which further accelerated the Hunan army's approach to Anqing."

"Later, not only did a large area of ​​Jiangnan fall, but even the British and French forces began to attack BJ."

"At such a critical moment, Zeng Guofan used various reasons to delay the rescue requested by Emperor Xianfeng, and vowed to surround Anqing City to the death. He even wanted to fight this battle when he almost lost his home. Such a firm attitude and courage are enough to show that Zeng Guofan Excellent qualities as a military strategist."

"And all his efforts were rewarded. In the autumn of 1860, Hong Xiuquan, who again realized the importance of Anqing, ordered the Western Expedition. After the situation at the rear was stabilized, Chen Yucheng also joined the army and began to counterattack."

"It's a pity that Zeng Guofan had already expected it and was fully prepared to ambush the Taiping Army. After several months of offensive, Chen Yucheng's troops were defeated repeatedly. Hong and Li still focused their strategy on attacking Zhejiang Shang, and Anqing City also During the nearly year-long siege, food and grass were exhausted, and the soldiers who defended the city were already extremely weak."

"On September 1861, 9, the Hunan Army used tunnel explosives to blow down the north gate of Anqing. Since then, Anqing City has been lost and the Taiping Army's base in Anhui has collapsed."

"As early as when the generals of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom despised the strength of the Hunan Army and Zeng Guofan's strategic wisdom, this battle was destined to fail."

"And the entire battle developed completely according to Zeng Guofan's expected trend, which is extremely exciting."

"Not long after the fall of Anqing, the leaders of the Taiping Army who were eager to expand their results on other fronts spared no effort to start the Eastern Expedition. Failure to recognize the situation and acting too hastily led to the gradual demise of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the Battle of Anqing was only the beginning of their decline. It’s just a starting point.”

"After looking at the entire Anqing battle, I can only use four words to describe Zeng Guofan's tactics: separate without encircling, encircle without attacking, first prune the branches and leaves, and then get to the roots."

"In general, it is to attack the impregnable main city without adding unnecessary casualties. We only need to clear the periphery and cut off the food routes into the city. Then slowly wait for the main city to be cut off from food and grass before taking the city."

"At this time, we have to talk about our emperor. The minister in front led the army to fight with his life, while he went to have fun."

"The ministers went to redress, while Emperor Xianfeng himself went to the Old Summer Palace to play."

"What a ridiculous thing. The country ignored it and went to the Old Summer Palace to have fun. Why did Emperor Xianfeng only live for 11 years? He deserved it!"

"Like most foolish emperors, their life span is short entirely because of their living habits and environment." "Our Emperor Xianfeng's mother, Concubine Quan, originally used drugs to assist in childbirth, so that Emperor Xianfeng could have an early pregnancy He was born and won the throne.”

"Emperor Xianfeng is still a premature baby, so he should pay more attention to his health, but he is not!"

"Emperor Daoguang's first three sons all died in infancy, and he was faced with having no sons to inherit the great cause, so Emperor Xianfeng was born at the right time and became the emperor."

"Everyone knows that premature babies have poor physical fitness compared to ordinary people. If they are not adjusted and recuperated, they will inevitably suffer more injuries and illnesses. Therefore, Emperor Xianfeng should have lived a more self-disciplined life."

"And for him to have fun and have fun, the "Historical Records" actually said that it was because of the Taiping Army uprising. This was because he wanted to have fun and put a high hat on himself!"

"According to records, Emperor Xianfeng felt very painful after the Taiping Army's offensive. He wanted to do something to save the Qing Dynasty, but he couldn't do anything."

"The long-term depression could not be relieved, so I had to start a decadent life to intoxicate myself, and I did not want to face political affairs."

Li Longji: Poof! Just admit it, food is good for sex, who doesn’t like beautiful women?

"Actually, during the reign of Emperor Xianfeng, there were not too many beauties in the harem. There were 18 beauties in the harem. Compared with the previous emperors, it was not that many, but he only reigned for eleven years. If there were more than ten years, it might be more than this number."

"These are just concubines on the surface, the real harem is in the Old Summer Palace."

"Because there were too many rules in the palace to satisfy his decadent life, Emperor Xianfeng set up his own harem in the Old Summer Palace, a harem without so many rules."

"All I can say here is that you are still the emperor and you know how to play!"

Cao Cao: Who likes to be well-behaved, but not too unruly? It is better for a woman to be too sensible.

Liu Rushi: Home flowers don’t have the same fragrance as wild flowers, right?

"Anyway, Emperor Xianfeng basically spent two-thirds of the year living in the Old Summer Palace, turning the world upside down and pursuing happiness."

"And a special department was set up to collect beauties from the private sector. In order to collect all the beauties in the world, we don't bother to pay any price, as long as they are beauties, even women can do it."

Cao Cao: This little guy is really good at playing, he still needs to learn.

Liu Bei: Cao thief, I just realized that this is more common than what you know how to play. You just like women and you are a little far behind.

"It's so ridiculous that even if I give you a healthy body, it won't be able to withstand such abuse. If this kind of life continues, your body will definitely become worse day by day. What can be done?"

"Take supplements, and deer blood will begin to appear in the palace. Most of the deer blood will be consumed by Emperor Xianfeng, just for the sake of a short period of happiness and forgetting worries."

"Later, after the Eight-Power Allied Forces invaded BJ, Emperor Xianfeng led his concubines to escape to the Old Summer Palace. At the same time, he did not forget to give orders to lead the way first to ensure his daily needs. After all, a war is a war, and life cannot be left behind."
