After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made Nanjing its capital, why didn't the whole army go north?

Not don't want to, but impossible, because:

From 185 1 year 1 month1day, jintian uprising, until1March 853 19, the Taiping rebels occupied Nanjing and established its capital here. Almost two years later, it was cut off by the Qing army, and it was repeatedly faced with "ammunition and food."

This is the main activity path of Taiping Army from Jintian to Nanjing.

185 1 year

1851.1.11:jintian uprising.

1. 13-3. 12: Taiping Army entered the Yellow River in the east, stayed less than two months, left here and arrived in Dongxiang, wuxuan county.

5. 16-7.2: Less than two months in Xiangzhou, food and salt were scarce, so I went to Dongxiang.

Early July-8.15: Go to Zijing Mountain and camp in Chadi. A month and a half later, I had to evacuate because of being besieged on all sides.

8. 15-9. 1 1: The base camp was moved to Mocun. Within a month, it was besieged by the Qing army in Mocun and Jin Tianyi and had to be evacuated.

Near September 1 1-9. 18: Headquartered in Huazhou, we ran out of food and salt in less than seven days, so we had to evacuate again and go to tengxian.

Near1851.9.19-1852.4.8: After occupying Yongan for more than half a year, it was evacuated again due to the military and economic siege of the Qing army.

1852.4.11-5.19: Guilin was besieged for 33 days, and it was difficult to break, so it was moved again.

5.22-6.5: Stop in Xing 'an for one day and keep the whole state. After more than ten days, the whole state will be separated.

9.25- 1 1.30: The siege of Changsha failed for more than 80 days, and the army was short of ammunition, oil and salt, so it was evacuated again.

1853

1852.12.2-1853.2.9: occupied Yuezhou, Hanyang, Hankou and Wuchang. Two months later, they gave up Wuhan and moved eastward.

2. 10-3. 12: Within a month, Huangzhou, Jiujiang, Anqing, Chizhou, Wuhu and Nanjing were killed.

Near March 22, Hong Xiuquan entered Nanjing.

3.3 1: Luo Outline occupied Zhenjiang.

4. 1: and Li occupied Yangzhou.

As can be seen from the above, if the Taiping rebels are fighting against the Qing army, if they stand on the side of the Taiping rebels, it can be said that the Taiping rebels are good at guerrilla warfare and leave as soon as they fight. For example, in the martial arts of eighteen falls, put down the place you can occupy immediately, and leave if you can't. The tactics are very clever.

But if we stand on the side of the Qing army, it can be said that the Taiping army was chased by them and wandered around. In addition to staying in Yong 'an for more than half a year, the Taiping Army occupied a place and changed it every one or two months on average. The biggest reason is that there is not enough food and grass, and there is no way to evacuate.

During the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, peace was no longer just an armed confrontation between soldiers of both sides. It is logistics, that is, grain, grass and ammunition, that really determines the policy of stopping both sides.

For example, every time the Taiping Army was evacuated in the later period, it was because there was no food, ammunition and salt. You see, the system of Taiping Army is that all people, old and young, are together. Of course, there are separate camps for men, women and children, but when the war really starts, these men, women and children still have to eat and drink, right? It costs a lot of money to go to war, but you have to eat and dress if you can fight or not, and the Qing army is pressing hard and bypassing, and the Taiping army has no tools to eat. Can it fight again?

Therefore, one of the biggest difficulties of Taiping Army is food, especially salt and oil.

The second dilemma of Taiping Army is ammunition and weapons. Firearms were prepared in advance by both sides in the battle. Shi Dakai started casting guns as early as in Jintian regiment camp, but the cost of firearms was horribly high. It's a disposable item. It's gone after the fight.

You see, the Taiping rebels' explosives are gone, and the Qing army is rushing at you with muskets and cannons. If you fight with someone with a big knife and spear, isn't that fatal?

The most terrible thing is that explosives, snakes, spears, guns and food are different. They need consumption and a stable place to spend. However, the Taiping army is being pursued by the Qing army, and there is basically no time to rest, so weapons are difficult.

According to the historical records of the Qing army, the Taiping Army even fired cotton and wrapped stones with artillery, another effective firecracker disguised as artillery to attack the city (or even attack the city). This can be said that the Taiping Army is wise in fighting, but it can also be said that the Taiping Army's weapons are poor and very poor.

In a war, both the Taiping Army and the Qing Army held muskets and pointed at each other. After the shooting, both sides evacuated, and no one died. This shows in advance the importance of firearms to both sides.

Therefore, a group of men, women and children are always in a dilemma of not eating or drinking, fighting with friends, even without explosives and guns, and friends are chasing after them. It is basically the limit that such a group of soldiers can run from Guangxi to Nanjing, and they will continue to run north, constantly running across more than half of the north to fight the Qing army.

What is analyzed here is the situation when the Taiping Army established Nanjing as its capital. The Taiping Army's resolution to build Nanjing in advance should be fair.

Because the Taiping Army wants to occupy a base area for transformation, it must first deal with two biggest troubles: military and civilian eating and drinking and weapons and ammunition, which bandits on the road can't get peacefully, especially weapons and ammunition. If you want to consume them, you must have a stable place.

As a land of wealth in the north of China, Nanjing fully meets these two prerequisites.

Besides, after the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom made Nanjing its capital, why didn't the three armed forces go north?

Because the situation does not allow them to do so.

The Taiping Army captured Nanjing on March 1853, and the Qing army pursued Nanjing Banqiao only six days later, that is, on March 25th. In May, Jiangnan Battalion was established, with a strength of15,000 and 19 battalions, forming an arc encirclement and surrounding Nanjing.

Mao also sent 5,000 troops to surround Zhenjiang, which was occupied by the Taiping Army, to prevent the Taiping Army from moving eastward into Gusu and Changzhou.

To the north of Nanjing, the Qing army sent Qishan to set up Jiangbei camp in Yangzhou in April, with tens of thousands of people, and surrounded Nanjing by Jiangnan camp in the north and south.

In other words, the Qing army firmly surrounded Nanjing, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and the navy with Jiangnan Camp and Jiangbei Camp. In this case, there is basically no way for the Taiping Army to send three armies north to kill Beijing.

It must also be clarified that the Taiping Army is different from other military expeditions. This is not a purely military expedition. It travels with men, women and children. Therefore, it is impossible to kill tens of thousands of soldiers from Nanjing to Beijing together with the elderly, weak women and children.

Tired of watching, watching a joke makes you happy and relaxed.
