162 years ago today, on August 6, 1863 (June 22, 1863 lunar calendar), Shi Dakai, a general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was killed. On August 6, 1863, Shi Dakai, the wing king of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, was killed in Chengdu at the age of 34. Shi Dakai (born in 1830), a Hakka family in Gui County, Guangxi, was born a landlord. Since childhood, he loved to study and had great ambitions. Due to being excluded by the indigenous landowners, he joined the worship of God and was the leader of the congregation in Gui County. After the Jintian Uprising, he led the left army to seal the wing king in Yong'an. The Taiping Army went east from Wuchang and was commanded by the front line, Dike Jiujiang, Anqing and Nanjing. After setting the capital in Tianjing, he went out to patrol Anqing, set up officials and people, and had good political achievements. In 1854, the Western Expedition Army failed, and he was appointed to preside over military affairs. He wiped out the Hunan navy at the mouth of Hukou, Jiangxi, and recaptured Wuchang, which began to turn the tide of the war. The following year, he marched into Jiangxi, more than 60 counties of the five prefectures, trapped Zeng Guofan in Nanchang, and united the bases of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom in the three provinces of Anhui, Jiangxi and Hubei. In 1856, he led his division to rescue Tianjing, broke down the Jiangqing camp, and returned to the west to assist Wuchang. In September, "Yang Wei's infighting" returned to Tianjing, and he was persecuted by Wei Changhui to escape Tianjing, and vowed to seek Wei's help. In November 1856, he returned to Beijing to take care of the government affairs, which won the support of the soldiers and people of the Kingdom of Heaven, but was suspected and kidnapped by the Hong Group headed by Hong Xiuquan. "After the end of the suspicion, he did not In order to avoid being killed, Shi Dakai was forced to leave Beijing in May 1857, and took with him more than 100,000 elite divisions. He fought in the southeast and southwest provinces for several years. In May 1863, he was surrounded by the Qing army in Zidadi, Dadu, Sichuan (now near the Asbestos Anshun Field). On June 13, he went to the Qing camp to negotiate. He was lured to the horse guru, and all the soldiers of the army were deceived and disarmed. Shi Dakai arrived in Chengdu on the 25th. In front of the enemy, he "overflowed his face with strength, and his words were neither humble nor overbearing, and he did not wag his tail and beg for pity." He was executed on August 6, "on the verge of execution, he looked happy". Shi Dakai was one of the main leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. He had outstanding military and political skills, and he was "well-prepared for civil and military affairs", which won the hearts of the people. Shi Dakai made significant contributions to the victorious march into the capital of Tianjing and the creation of a great situation in the military heyday of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. However, after the Tianjing Incident, Shi Dakai's experience was a great tragedy in history. Although they were forced to leave, and they still maintained the banner of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and persisted in the anti-Qing struggle, this move objectively weakened the power of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and trapped themselves in injustice. Before the Dadu River, he fantasized about "sacrificing his life to complete the three armies" and believed the ruler's promise. As a result, he disarmed himself first, which objectively facilitated the enemy's slaughter of the Taiping Army soldiers. Shi Dakai's talents and qualities made him the most sympathetic figure among the leaders of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Therefore, after he was murdered, there were long-standing rumors among the people of Sichuan that Shi Dakai was not dead, that the adopted son who resembled him was detained, and that a few years later, some people had met Shi Dakai who lived in seclusion in Sichuan, etc., which shows that the people miss him.
