The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement lasted for several years. Why didn't you bring down the finances of the Qing Dynasty?

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was due to the fact that Sun Yat-sen's Qing government plundered a large number of people's fat and paste in order to successfully pay war reparations to western imperialism. In addition, the constant natural disasters at that time made the people at that time seriously threatened by death and hunger and could not survive. At that time, Yixianqing government was short of money and didn't have much deposits. Then, the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement lasted for several years, why didn't it drag down the Qing government? This mainly comes from the income of the Qing government at that time.

Emperor Xianfeng sold his treasures.

At that time, Emperor Xianfeng was undoubtedly a poor emperor, who demanded reparations for imperialist aggression and suppressed peasant uprisings. He is really poor. Fortunately, his grandfather Emperor Qianlong left him many treasures when he was in power. This is why thin camels are bigger than horses. By selling the silver coins raised by these treasures, Emperor Xianfeng alleviated the gold and silver crisis at that time to a certain extent, enabling Emperor Xianfeng to catch his breath.

Selling officials to collect money

Being in power with all the imperial courts, selling officials and titles was a common way to deal with emergencies, and Emperor Xianfeng was no exception. At the same time, he raised gold and silver by increasing relevant taxes, encouraging gentry officials to donate money and reducing officials' income. Although these gold and silver were only nine Niu Yi Mao for the financial demand at that time, they also increased the financial reserves at that time to some extent.

Lijin collection

Although the Qing government at that time broke away from the backward level all over the world, the productivity at that time still made great progress and the commerce also developed to a certain extent. In addition, the relaxation of local financial power by Emperor Xianfeng at that time made the founders of the local army increase their income in order to raise funds. The collection of lijin greatly met the demand of the Qing government army for gold and silver. It can be said that Likin provided the financial needs of the army at that time. The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom movement lasted for several years, and the finance of the Qing Dynasty was not dragged down. It can be said that it was decided by the current events at that time, and the appearance of Li Jin was the key.
