Seems exaggerated, right? The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom's territory was never large.

Geographically, the Jiangnan region was not the foundation for emperors. Throughout history, only Zhu Yuanzhang rose to power from there and took over the country. Others (including Sun Quan and Liu Yu) all failed.

Then the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom became corrupt too quickly. The Heavenly King and all the lower-ranking kings and generals lived in luxury, while the soldiers were treated poorly.

Lastly, there was no unified front, and they made too many enemies. "Qing officials, monks, Taoist priests, merchants, Confucian scholars, even doctors, shop assistants, and performers were all considered demons."

This is very similar to the Nazis. The Nazis carried out brutal killings when they attacked the Soviet Union, which also ignited the fighting spirit of the Soviet people.

In short, Hong Xiuquan was not a qualified leader, and his level was far from sufficient.
