After the defeat of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, where did all the remaining soldiers go?

Where did the soldiers go after the failure of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement? Some people say that they have fled overseas. So, who have gone out and settled overseas?

Overseas, including Hong Kong, Macao, South Asia, the United States and other places, these places are outside the management scope of the Qing government.

Hong Kong, adjacent to Guangdong, is the ideal foothold and bridgehead for Taiping rebels to flee overseas. As early as after the infighting in Tianjing, literate Lai witnessed the intrigue among roommates, so he lost confidence in the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. After living in Hong Kong for many years, he slipped out of Nanjing and returned to his hometown in the early 20th century.

This statement is legendary and unreliable. In fact, after the fall of Tianjing, there were indeed some Taiping Heavenly Kingdom figures hiding in Hong Kong. Now it is recorded that Hou Yutian, the former commander of the water army, secretly transported weapons and food to help the remnants of the Taiping Army in Zhangzhou and opened a Jinchengtai store in Liming. Later, he and another person hiding in Hong Kong were extradited to Guangzhou and killed.

According to research, Hong Xiuquan's three nephews took refuge in Hong Kong. Yuan was covered by grinding scissors. Later, Wang became a police inspector, started selling salted fish, and finally opened a drugstore in Hongguangjitang, Kowloon. Won Kui fled to Hong Kong and changed his name to Red River. She sold herself as a pig, went to Cuba to dig bird droppings, and then went back to Hong Kong to practice medicine. Later, on the eve of the Revolution of 1911, she planned to establish "Daming"

The above are just prominent people who can list their names. With the passage of time, other people who fled overseas were unknown because of the lack of words and oral legends.

It is said that many members of the Taiping Army have gone to the United States, which is related to the fact that the United States needs a lot of labor to develop the western region. /kloc-The middle of the 0/9th century was a period of vigorous development of capitalism in Europe, and it also needed thousands of laborers.

At that time, after capturing Suzhou, Gordon, a British major and "Chang" leader, treated Taiping prisoners as piglets and put them overseas in British colonies such as Guyana for hard labor. It can be seen that the United States also needs labor, so why did these Taiping rebels cross the Pacific Ocean and come to the United States?

Like Hong Rengan's eldest son, Hong, who can speak English, fled to the floating sea in Guangdong after the fall of Tianjing, then came to the United States to work as a helper in Grand, and then stayed in British Guiana in South America. According to the investigation of the concept of commemoration in Huaxian County, Guangdong Province, the descendants of the red man are real in the United States. Among the Taiping generals living in Martinique, West Indies in South America, there is also the father of Chen Youren, a veteran of the Kuomintang.

Of course, modern China is no longer a closed world. In this context, Taiping soldiers know how to go abroad when they fail in the mainland, so the above statements are true or false.

Due to the limitation of time and space, every statement mentioned here, even if convincing, will be many years later. As for speculation, reasoning and fabrication, it is inevitable. Why are there so many stories about Taiping rebels in exile? How many Taiping rebels are hiding in Hong Kong and overseas?

It seems that with the frequent cultural and academic exchanges in the future, more information can be confirmed.
