Episode 11 - The March to Nanjing
Update: 2023-02-19
Description
The newly proclaimed Heavenly Kingdom of Great Peace marches north towards the Yangtze River. This Taiping movement grows among the poor and discontented, but has trouble sieging cities. A local corps gives the Taiping its first defeat. The Taiping then gain strength after reaching the Yangtze and is able to sail downstream and capture cities along the way to Nanjing. The Taiping rename the city Tianjing: the Heavenly Capital. The West King and other original followers die and are replaced by many new adherents.
