Zhu Yuanzhang had a hard life since childhood, and his parents and brothers passed away at the age of 15. He became a monk in the temple himself and finally began to beg. Finally, forced by life, he joined the Red Scarf Army in Guo Zixing. Finally, because Guo Zixing's son rejected him, he went back to his hometown to organize more people to join Xu Da to form a rebel army. In this process, he thought of winning people's hearts with religion, so he thought of Manichaeism and An Baili.
Hong Xiuquan failed to pass the imperial examination. Later, he absorbed Christianity and established the worship of God. Moreover, under the pressure of the people's wealth at that time, he launched the jintian uprising and ignited half of the Qing Dynasty. Three years later, Hong Xiuquan also went north like Zhu Yuanzhang. Although Hong Xiuquan established the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, he did not recognize one thing, that is, he did not hold absolute power in his own hands. He only knows that in the future, he will indulge in vocal music and transfer his power to the hands of East Wang Yang, which will lead to contradictions between generals and infighting.

He used Yang and Wei Changhui, but he didn't give them real power, which in itself was not satisfactory. Finally, the contradiction between the generals became public. In terms of leadership, Zhu Yuanzhang has always accumulated his own strength, while Hong Xiuquan has no guiding ideology. And the background of the times. At that time, British troops attacked the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Zhu Yuanzhang did not have these factors at that time.
