As a Cantonese, why did Hong Xiuquan go to Guangxi to rebel?

Hong Xiuquan, a native of Huaxian County, Guangdong Province (now Huadu District, Guangzhou City), was born into a farming family. He went to the village bookstore at the age of 7 and was familiar with ancient books such as Four Books and Five Classics. But he failed in Guangzhou College Entrance Examination three times. He was 25 years old after the third defeat in Guangzhou. After this blow, he was seriously ill and was once in a coma. Six years later, he was 1843. (Little Buddha said that history is original, please don't reprint it)

Hong Xiuquan, who failed many exams, abandoned Confucius and Mencius in a rage, converted to Christianity instead of Confucian scholars, sorted out his understanding of the doctrine, and began to preach near Guangzhou, but it did not achieve great success. Later, he joined Feng Yunshan to preach in Guangxi, and went back to Guangdong once in the middle, but there was still no great development and his understanding was not recognized by missionaries, so he continued to go to Guangxi. During this period, Feng Yunshan's missionary work in Guangxi was recognized by many people, so they set up "Worship the God" in Guiping, Guangxi, attracting more than 2,000 members.

185 1 year, Hong Xiuquan launched the jintian uprising, and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom was founded, claiming to be the King of Heaven. In this way, a Cantonese established a new political power with the support of Guangxi people. In fact, throughout the history of China, the supporters behind the leaders of peasant uprisings are mostly hometown elders, such as Liu Bang and others. So what caused Hong Xiuquan to go to Guangxi? Little Buddha probably understood the situation at that time and made the following analysis:

First, compared with the whole country at that time, Guangdong was more open-minded and economically developed, and it was basically western missionaries who contacted Christianity, not dogmatic Hong Xiuquan.

Second, Feng Yunshan achieved remarkable results in his missionary work in Guangxi. Guangxi, which is relatively closed, was fooled by this pseudo-Christianity.

3. In Guangxi, conflicts often break out between Han and Miao, aborigines and Hakkas. When they preach, they just take advantage of their contradictions. In addition, the local economy is not good, and people have problems eating. Consciously or unconsciously, they all have a strong desire to change the status quo.

To sum up, Hong Xiuquan's response to jintian uprising was the best choice for Guangxi Uprising. Facts have proved that for Hong Xiuquan, the uprising in Guangxi was fierce, and both men and women could fight, which provided a lot of fresh troops for his later development and growth.
