On June 4, 1862, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom ordered Wen Heng and Zheng To be the president of the Heavenly Dynasty Nine Gates Imperial Forest Zhongyong Yu Lin Jun Ying Wang Lu Chitose Chen Yu became a traitor Miao Peilin, and after being captured and taken to Beijing, he was calmly righteous in Yanjin, Henan, at the age of twenty-six.
The death of King Chen Yucheng was a huge blow to the morale of the Taiping Army, as Hong Xiuquan's brother Hong Renjie said, "Among the generals, only Chen Yucheng was heroic and superior." ...... If the king does not die, the siege of Tianjing will be very different, because if he can move in the north of the river, so that I and others can often have convenient transportation, they will be able to get the Fairy Temple and the nearby lands to receive a steady stream of help. As soon as the king was gone, the military power fell at the same time, and all of them disintegrated.... ”
Chen Yu once sighed long before he achieved righteousness: "I die, and the Heavenly Dynasty is half gone!" ”
So, what kind of person is Chen Yucheng, who is related to the security of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? Can he be so conceited? What could it be more that Hong Renjie, the first assistant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, gave such a high evaluation? Please see the young hero Chen Yucheng's legendary life of a young congrong.
After the Opium War, in order to pay 28,000 yuan of war reparations and the so-called redemption fee, the rulers of the Qing Dynasty stepped up the exploitation of the people to the greatest extent, increasing various taxes in various guises more than three times the previous taxes. The people who have no way out have to take risks in order to survive, and for this reason, the people in various places have revolted one after another, and instead of introspecting themselves at the rulers of the Qing Dynasty, they have intensified their exploitation of the people.
Guangxi, located on the southwestern border, is a region inhabited by ethnic minorities, and the Qing Dynasty's rule has exploited this area more brutally, coupled with various natural and man-made disasters, and the people's resistance in Guangxi has become more intense. The Taiping Rebellion, led by Hong Xiuquan, broke out against this background.
At the end of the 30th year of Daoguang (January 11, 1851 AD), this day was Hong Xiuquan's birthday, and on this day, more than 20,000 people of the "Worship god Society" gathered at Rhino Ridge in Jintian, and Yang Xiuqing officially announced the founding of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and Hong Xiuquan was called the Heavenly King, declaring war on the decadent Qing Dynasty.
Amid the slogans of the crowd calling out long live the Heavenly King and swearing to destroy the Qing Demons, the Heavenly King Hong Xiuquan announced that he would be crowned the commander-in-chief of the Five Armies. Xiao Chaogui was the former commander-in-chief, Yang Xiuqing was the main general of the Chinese army, Feng Yunshan was the main general of the rear army, Wei Changhui was the main general of the right army, and Shi Dakai was the main general of the left army.
The voice of the Heavenly King's Five Armies commander had just fallen, and the public was once again jubilant. Among them, a group of childish children were even more elated, but one of them was unusually quiet, just staring at the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom on the stage for a long time with adoring eyes. This boy with a long eyebrow and a clear eye was Chen Yucheng, the king of the future Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Chen Yucheng, whose original name was Chen Picheng, was a native of TengXian County, Guangxi, and his family had been farmers for generations. In order to change the face of the family, Chen Yucheng's father, Chen Balan, sent him to a private school for a year, but because their family was too poor, Chen Yucheng dropped out of school because his family could not pay tuition. Before he was ten years old, he had to fend for himself, and he had to leave school for the rich and help them with all kinds of chores, so that he could barely fill his stomach. It was also on the day of the maid that he met Li Yiwen (Li Xiucheng) and Lu Haiping (Lu Shunde) from different villages in the same county, and because of their similar interests, the three of them became close friends.
The great man said, "Where there is oppression, there is resistance." Chen Yucheng joined the "Worship god society" through Hu Yihuang's distant relatives in Fujian County under the condition of having no food and clothing, and became a juvenile congregation.
At the time of the Jintian Uprising, a total of 28 chen Yucheng brothers and nephews participated in the uprising, which can be said to be full of people who devoted themselves to the "revolutionary cause".
Because Chen Yucheng was clever and witty and had some culture, the Taiping Army's fierce general Luo Gang was very optimistic about him, because in this way Luo Outline transferred Chen Yucheng from the Scout Army to his side as a guard. Chen Yucheng benefited greatly from Luo Gang's side, and the good marksmanship he had found haunted on the battlefield that day was taught by Luo Gang himself.
When the Taiping Army conquered the first prefecture city of Yong'an (present-day Mengshan County, Guangxi), it was led by Luo Gang, the commander of the Second Left Army, and the guide for the attack on Yong'an was chen Yucheng, a young hero at the age of fourteen. However, due to Chen Yu's young age, when the Taiping Army marched south all the way to the capture of Jiangning Province, in addition to his performance in Yike Wuchang, Chen Yucheng was only responsible for transporting ordnance, grain and grass and rescuing the wounded on the front line. Don't look at Chen Yu as a young man, but he is very serious about doing things, whether it is transporting grain and grass or rescuing the wounded, he has done a very good job, and he has been unanimously recognized by the Taiping Army from top to bottom.
The Taiping Army conquered Jiangning, and Hong Xiuquan changed Nanjing to Tianjing, and the capital was officially established here. Chen Chengyao, the uncle who guided Chen Yucheng to participate in the Jintian Rebellion of the Taiping Army, was made a Heavenly Official zhengcheng (天官正丞相) by Hong Xiuquan for his merits. This position was below the kings of the Heavenly Kingdom but above the Hundred Officials, and was the head of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Dynasty at that time. Chen Yucheng was also awarded the Canonical Holy Food of the Fourth Left Army for his merits, and was responsible for the logistics of the Left Fourth Army.
But Chen Yucheng, who has great ambitions, is not willing to engage in logistics work for a long time, and he is waiting for an opportunity to personally lead the warriors of the Taiping Army to the battlefield to show their glory one day.
