The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, 1854

What could possibly happen by following those rotten people from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom? They've been corrupt ever since they entered Nanjing.

He's afraid to mobilize the masses, his dream is still to be emperor, and then he just waits to be overthrown? Isn't that a bit ridiculous?

I've seen many comments saying the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was more evil than the Qing Dynasty. I won't go into the background of these people. Undeniably, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's leadership had many limitations typical of peasant uprisings, and there was corruption and internal strife after the uprising; they weren't all perfect and righteous.

There are currently very few Taiping Heavenly Kingdom novels written. This book should be used as food and fodder. The author must be steady, steady, steady, and don't be anxious! The details, history, and characters must be grasped more rigorously, and there must be less contact with high-voltage wires. Writing in the late Qing Dynasty is not easy, so read it and cherish it!

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was doomed to fail. The leaders were all uneducated and involved in religion. They had no chance on Earth; you'd have to go to Mars to succeed. To write about the Taiping Rebellion, one must depict how a select few talented individuals within it were absorbed into their own factions and subsequently established their own independent power.

The fundamental reason for the Taiping Rebellion's failure was its inability to cultivate good relations with the foreign powers, thus forcing them to side with the Qing Dynasty. It also failed to promptly merge with the Nian Rebellion in the north, thus failing to establish a mobile warfare strategy.

The author believes the Taiping Rebellion would have been very difficult to succeed, even with a time traveler. The high-ranking officials would have become corrupt too quickly, and the religious nature of the regime would have prevented the attraction of scholars to govern the regions. Furthermore, it would have created religious and economic conflicts with the foreign powers.

Which are the best basic novels about the Taiping Rebellion? I'd appreciate some recommendations; I'm quite interested in them lately.

Don't write it like the one next door, which involves recruiting landlords like Jiang Zhongyuan. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's rule was inherently opposed to the landlord class.

I've already spent a lot of money following this book. I've read up to the point where Zeng was captured. One detail is that others don't seem to have the appearance of an emperor. I'd like to ask the author if he becomes emperor in the end. If not, I won't continue reading. The 1850s were a time when emperors were still prevalent in the world. If it's going to be a republic or a president, it's not interesting. Everyone looks out for themselves!
