Discover the remarkable history of the Taiping Rebellion...In 1837, Hong Xiuquan failed the notoriously difficult exam to gain entry to the Chinese Civil Service and suffered a nervous breakdown. In a weakened state, he had visions which he later interpreted to be messages from God, telling him that he is the younger brother of Jesus Christ and, therefore, the second son of God. By 1850, Hong had built an army, challenged an empire, and plunged China into the bloodiest civil war in human history, one that lasted fourteen years and cost more lives than the First World War. This is the story of Hong Xiuquan's Taiping Rebellion, of his "Heavenly Kingdom," and the death and destruction that came with it. Discover a plethora of topics such as The Visions of Hong Xiuquan Fighting the Xiang Army Coups within the Taiping Kingdom The Reforms of the Shield King The Ever-Victorious Army The End of the Taiping Rebellion: Death by a Thousand Cuts And much more!

The Taiping Rebellion was a widespread civil war in southern China from 1850 to 1864, against the ruling Manchu-led Qing Dynasty. It was led by heterodox Christian convert Hong Xiuquan, who, having claimed to have received visions, maintained that he was the younger brother of Jesus Christ. About 20 million people died, mainly civilians, in one of the deadliest military conflicts in history Augustus Frederick Lindley (Lin-Le to his Taiping soldiers) was a Royal Navy officer who, along with his wife Mary, joined the 1860 Taiping reform movement in China. He trained Taiping soldiers using modern techniques, and Mary became a sniper. In 1863, Lindley returned to the UK. In 1866 he wrote and published this book (Ti Ping Tien Kwoh: OR The History of the Taiping Revolution, including a narrative of the author's personal adventures).

The Taiping Rebellion, alternatively termed the Taiping Civil War or the Taiping Revolution, unfolded in China pitting the Manchu Qing dynasty against the Han, Hakka-led Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Spanning from 1850 to 1864, its echoes reverberated beyond, with the final rebel faction quelled only in August 1871, post the fall of Tianjing. The uprising sparked subsequent revolts, notably the ephemeral Heavenly Kingdom of the Great Mingshun in 1903, directly influenced by the Taiping. Despite the victory of the established Qing regime, it came at a staggering cost, both financially and politically, navigating through one of history's deadliest civil conflicts, which claimed an estimated 20 to 30 million lives. At the helm of the rebellion stood Hong Xiuquan, an ethnic Hakka, who proclaimed himself the sibling of Jesus Christ. His ambitions were multifaceted, blending theological, nationalist, and political aspirations. Hong's vision extended beyond religious conversion; he aimed to dismantle the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty and engineer a radical overhaul of the nation's structure. Rather than merely targeting the ruling class, the Taipings sought to dismantle China's societal and ethical framework. Erecting the Heavenly Kingdom with Tianjing (now Nanjing) as its nucleus, they commanded sway over vast swathes of southern China, eventually encompassing a populace nearing 30 million.

A gripping account of China’s nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles—a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China. The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China’s future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China’s modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure. This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.
