Tianjiao: the Eldest Daughter of Taiping

In the eleventh year of Xianfeng's reign, when the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was in turmoil, Hong Tianjiao, the eldest daughter of King Hong Xiuquan, was ordered to enter Zhejiang to escort military supplies and fight with King Li Shixian. She was originally regarded as a "baggage" burden, but with a musket and a cold heart, she fought her way through the Zhejiang battlefield. Hall, the American arms dealer, brought the mysterious Spencer repeater gun - breech loading, seven-shot burst, and a rate of fire seven times that of the Qing army's matchlock gun. She used this gun to capture Yiwu, capture Chuzhou, and conquer Taizhou. However, ammunition supplies were about to be cut off, Zuo Zongtang's Hunan Army was pressing the border, and Li Shixian was ordered to return to Tianjing to aid. In the battle of Yuhuatai, Li Shixian was killed and the remaining troops were scattered. Hong Tianjiao took up the banner of serving the king. In 1864, Tianjing fell and the young king was captured Lingchi. She refused to surrender and led the remaining troops westward to Zhejiang - embarking on an unprecedented bloody road.
