Let's talk about Shi Dakai, who left Tianjing and set up his own family to work alone, under his call, about sixty or seventy thousand brothers in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom followed him out at that time.

But since he went it alone, Shi Dakai found himself a little dazed, without the command of a strategic master like Yang Xiuqing, the king of the East, he didn't know where to go with the army from the beginning.

He first went to Jiangxi, the war zone he was most familiar with. Since there was no naval army, he placed his attack points in Fuzhou, Ganzhou and other places in southern Jiangxi. But he never thought that the Hunan army here was heavily defended, and even if he captured Fuzhou, he would not be able to expand the base area. Here, the resistance to the siege is great, and the attrition is very serious.

So Shi Dakai felt that it was difficult for the team to become bigger in Jiangxi, and went east to Zhejiang, he divided his troops into two routes, one way to capture Changshan and Kaihua, and the other way he personally led the main force to attack the strategic Quzhou, but here he was heavily guarded by the Qing army, Shi Dakai could not attack for four months and then turned to Fujian.

Fujian is mountainous, Shi Dakai stayed here for more than two months, felt that it was not a suitable place for development, and was ready to leave.

In the more than a year since he left Tianjing, Shi Dakai's team has never had a clear goal, and his blind wandering made his subordinates feel unsure, and Yang Fuqing, who went with him, got the news that Dongwang was rehabilitated, so he led the team back to heaven.

Wing King Shi Dakai also knew that it would be difficult for the team to unite without a clear goal, so he gathered all the senior generals in Nan'an to discuss what to do next.

The final conclusion is to go to Sichuan to establish a base area, Sichuan Chengdu Plain is fertile, surrounded by mountains and easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is a good place to dominate one side, Liu Bei established his own Shu hegemony here in history.

This strategic plan seems to be good, but at this moment, Shi Dakai went from Fujian to Sichuan, thousands of miles away, countless lofty mountains, big rivers and dangerous beaches, and the Qing army all the way to encircle and intercept, this difficulty is too great, this strategic plan is set a little wrong, and Shi Dakai suffered the setback of failure afterwards.

Although Shi Dakai's progress was relatively smooth at the beginning, the combat effectiveness of the army was improved after the unification of the goal, and he successfully entered the southern Hunan region, and successively took Chenzhou, Guiyang, Dingyuan and other places.

But later, with the pursuit of the Hunan army, Shi Dakai failed one after another in Yongzhou and Baoqing, and did not conquer these two important supply points.

But Shi Dakai still blindly stumbled in Baoqing, and when the Hunan army Liu Changyou, Li Xuyi and other reinforcements arrived, he failed to make suitable adjustments, so that the reinforcements could get ammunition and food supplies to Baoqing.

In the siege of Baoqing, which lasted for three months, Shi Dakai found nothing, and his subordinates' belief in following him began to waver.

How could the Winged King, who has always been good at fighting, seem to have lost his soul and his martial arts? It's hard to figure out, but it's easy to explain. After the Tianjing Incident, the belief of the Taiping Army as a whole was shaken, and its combat effectiveness generally declined. After repeated defeats, the combat effectiveness of the Hunan army is getting higher and higher, and if it were not for Yang Xiaoshan's proper strategy to encircle and annihilate Li Xubin, the Kingdom of Heaven may not be able to stabilize.

In addition, Shi Dakai's strategy of marching into Sichuan was inappropriate, far away from Tianjing, the only base of the Taiping army that could gain a firm foothold, leaving his team in a state of fighting alone, he could not afford to lose, and a defeat would have a great impact on the whole.

Shi Dakai's defeat in Baoqing caused a large-scale escape time in the team.

His brother Shi Zhenji took 20,000 men and began to act alone and kill Guangxi.

Prime Minister Fu Zhongxin and others returned to the Celestial Empire, and later merged into Li Shixian's team in Zhejiang.

In addition, some small leaders have also left Shi Dakai one after another, some have returned to Tianjing, and some have set up their own doors, and there are more and more separatist actions like this.

Shi Dakai didn't stop them, he himself was split from Tianjing, what reason did he have to stop others, Shi Dakai's character weakness was completely exposed. If it was replaced by Yang Xiuqing, he would have slaughtered these people long before they split.

So Shi Dakai's situation was even more difficult, and many of those who fled were the elite of the Taiping Army. Shi Dakai's spirit has also suffered a big blow, he loves them so much, but why did they leave him one by one, allowing himself to suffer the fate of this betrayal of his relatives, Shi Dakai began to wonder if he was wrong to run away back then.

The demoralized Shi Dakai went to Pennsylvania and other places, and at this time he only had more than 10,000 people in his hands. Although there are many rebels here, they are all branches of the Heaven and Earth Society in various places, and they are also friends and enemies, and some rebels even want to trap him and sell him to the Qing army.

Shi Dakai left Pennsylvania and returned to his hometown of Guixian in Guangxi. What he didn't expect was that the people here in his hometown welcomed him as always.

After the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom left Guangxi, it was the place where the Taiping army rebelled, so it was retaliated against by the Qing court, and the people in the Guiping area suffered greatly due to heavier taxes and harsher criminal laws.

After the Taiping Army left, there were still people who came out to revolt here, and large and small uprisings came out one after another, and the aftermath continued. The largest one was the uprising led by Chen Kai, the "King of Dacheng", and the "Dacheng State" was also established in Xunzhou. Although the uprising later occurred, tens of thousands of his subordinates hiding in the mountains heard that the Taiping Army Wing King had returned, and they came to take refuge one after another.

These people really provided huge psychological support to Shi Dakai, who was already desperate, and it was really a relief for Shi Dakai, so that he got a team of tens of thousands of people again, and had the capital to regroup and make a comeback.

So Shi Dakai planned to implement his strategic policy of founding a country in Sichuan and take these tens of thousands of people into Sichuan.

The road to Sichuan is quite difficult to walk, "Shu Road is difficult to go to the blue sky", along the way are mountainous and poor areas, birds do not can not get food at all, his tens of thousands of troops to eat is a problem, although he entered Sichuan, but it is still far from the Chengdu Plain.

There are three large rivers to cross, the first of which is the Wujiang River, where the current is so fast that it is difficult to cross without a boat. The second is the Jinsha River, and the last one is the Dadu River.

For Shi Dakai, who entered Sichuan for the first time and was unfamiliar with the place, these three big rivers were blocked in front as if they were horizontal, and the Qing army was still leaning towards him to surround and intercept him.
