Taiping Heavenly Kingdom 1854

This is the best of years: the banner of the northern expedition has been planted beneath the walls of Tianjinwei, and the blade of the western campaign has forced Zeng Guofan into the water at Jinggang.

This is also the worst of years: the iron flood of the northern expedition freezes in the northern winter, and the great victory of the western campaign is overturned by infighting at Xiangtan.

In 1854, the Tian Kingdom’s fortune reaches its peak, and the foreshadowing of its fall is also planted here.

Zhao Mucheng steps into Tianjing City in this very year.

Starting from the humblest "two-sima," he makes his moves in this turbulent end-times current, seizes the board, and sweeps across heaven and earth.
