Li Chendian characters experience introduced:
Li Chendian became famous because of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement in the late Qing Dynasty. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, scholar Hong Xiuquan saw the corruption and incompetence of the Qing court, so he rose up against the Qing court. With the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement gaining momentum, the regular troops of the Qing court could not resist it, so they ordered the provinces to defend Yingyong. Attack and suppress? During this period, Zeng Guofan, an important minister in the late Qing Dynasty, and Shang En, the governor of Hunan Province, were responsible for containing Ying Yong in Hunan. Zeng Guofan was far-sighted, and thought that the Taiping Army could never be destroyed by himself, so he suggested to the court to form a new army, and later obtained the permission of the Qing court to form the Xiang Army in Hunan.
At this time, Han Li Chendian appeared. At the age of eighteen, he was recruited into the Xiang army. Because he was not afraid of death and dared to go forward, he was quickly promoted to be an officer of the Xiang army. As a Shangguan, Li Chendian understood that as a general, only by mercilessly killing the enemy on the battlefield and making meritorious deeds for himself can he get a greater promotion. Therefore, he worked harder to defend the Qing court on the battlefield.
As the saying goes, a good knife must be used on the blade. Li Chendian, as the top soldier of Xiang army, naturally won't lag behind in attacking Tianjing, the capital of Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. This battle, both sides played badly, and Li Chendian detected that the food and grass of Taiping Army was still sufficient. On the other hand, due to the long-term attack of the Xiang army on Tianjing, the army's combat power gradually failed and its morale was unstable. At this time, Li Chendian thought that it was difficult to win recklessly and it was necessary to outsmart him. So he suggested to the leader of Xiang that he dig a tunnel to attack the city. This move really worked wonders. Through the tunnel, Xiang successfully entered Tianjin, the capital of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, killing civilians and Taiping rebels in the city. Due to Xiang's indiscipline, Li Chendian conquered ten women overnight after entering the city, and then suddenly died at the age of 27.
