Xiao Chaogui , from Guiping, Guangxi, native of Wuxuan . Zhuang tribe . My family is poor, and like Yang Xiuqing, he "planted mountains and burned charcoal" in the Zijin Mountain area of Guiping. In the 26th year of Daoguang (1846), he was mobilized by Feng Yunshan, a native of Huaxian County, Guangdong Province to join the God worship meeting, and became one of the backbone together with Yang Xiuqing, Wei Changhui and others.
On October 5, 1848, because Feng Yunshan was arrested and imprisoned by the magistrate of Guiping and the tycoon of Jintian Wang Zhichun , Hong Xiuquan returned to Guangdong to find connections to rescue him. Guangxi worshipped the God Church without a leader, and people were in panic. Xiao Chaogui and Yang Xiuqing pretended to be Jesus to come to earth to possess the endorsement to calm the hearts of the people. After pretending to be a god, Yang and Xiao obtained the privilege of "rumor on behalf of the Heavenly Father and Brother Tian".
Xiao Chaogui, Wei Changhui, Yang Xiuqing and others managed to raise funds to fish Feng Yunshan out of prison. Later, he became brothers from different surnames with Hong Xiuquan, Feng Yunshan, Yang Xiuqing and others, and was the fifth son of the Heavenly Father. He married his sister, Hong Xiuquan (later known as the King of Heaven) and was called "the emperor's son-in-law".
In January 1851, he falsely claimed that Brother Tian came down to earth to possess his body, and pointed out that Zhang Zhao, the leader of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the harness of the Coincidentally, Zhang Zhao and others were recruited and surrendered to the Qing Dynasty.
In early 1851, when the Jintian Uprising broke out, Xiao Chaogui became the leader of the former army. The "Outline of the History of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom" said that he was "brave and strong, and was the first to charge."
9 In September, Xiao Chaogui and Feng Yunshan led their troops to defeat the Qing army that came to fight against the attack on Yong'an (now Mengshan ) and conquered it in one fell swoop. After conquering Yong'an, Xiao Chaogui made contributions and was promoted to Youbi Youzheng Military Advisor.
22, when Yong'an was crowned king, Xiao Chaogui was crowned King of Western , eight thousand years old. Second only to Hong and Yang, he became the third person in the Kingdom of Heaven.
In April 1852, the Taiping Army took advantage of the heavy rain to break through Yong'an, and Xiao Chaogui took the lead, but he was not as sharp as he could be. He immediately participated in several fierce battles between Pingchong, Hanchong and Bengchong east of Yong'an City, defeating the Qing army that was chasing him and annihilated thousands of enemies. The Taiping Army besieged Guilin for more than a month. Because the Qing army defended the city was tenacious, reinforcements followed one after another, but failed to attack for a long time, with heavy casualties and failure in the battle.
After discussing with Yang Xiuqing and others, they decided to withdraw the siege north to Hunan. After the Taiping Army rescued the siege from Guilin, they conquered Xing'an and Quanzhou and entered Hunan. In the battle of Qianyi Ferry in Quanzhou, the Southern King Feng Yunshan died of cannon.
Historical records: after entering Hunan, the Taiping Army conquered Daozhou in one fell swoop (now Daoxian ). The Western King Xiao Chaogui and the Eastern King Yang Xiuqing jointly signed and issued three manifestos: "Hangml1日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本日本�
In mid-August, the Taiping Army defeated Jiahe, Lanshan, Guiyang, Chenzhou Prefecture and Hengzhou Prefecture. Xiao Chaogui was ordered to lead his troops to conquer Yongxing , Anren , Youxian , Chaling , Liling and other places, and he will win every battle.
1852, the Taiping Army besieged Changsha, the capital of Hunan Province, and Xiao Chaogui served as the siege. After the attack started, he led the lead and personally supervised the battle outside the South Gate of Changsha. He directed the gunners to set up shells and bombarded Miaogaofeng. Lin Fengxiang, Li Kaifang, , Zeng Shuiyuan, and other powerful generals led thousands of elite card swordsmen to form a suicide squad and shouted to launch an attack, with the focus on attacking the South Gate.
Xiao Chaogui waved his handsome flag to boost the morale of the soldiers, and the soldiers continued to climb the city bravely. The Qing army on the top of the city noticed a man wearing a conspicuous yellow robe and constantly waving flags in the supervision of the attack. He determined that this man must be an important leader of the Taiping Army, so he aimed at him and shot. Xiao Chaogui was hit by a cannon on his left shoulder and was bleeding all over the ground. He was then carried back to the camp by the guards. Due to his serious injuries, Xiao Chaogui died 15 days later.
Xiao Chaogui, a powerful general of the Taiping Army who fought in the east and west and made countless contributions, did not taste the later victory of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom and died prematurely.This is another major loss suffered by the Taiping Army after Feng Yunshan, the Southern King who died in Sanyi Ferry.
