Near million
Green Standard Army stationary in northern China defendUK and French troops increased the Jiangnan DaYing less strength and money pay salary to soldiers, it was the first and important loss reason;The second reason of loss was leaders intrigue against each other:
Xiang Rong (向榮) andHer Chyun in the first Jiangnan DaYing;Her Chyun ‘group,He Guiqing ‘group andZeng Guofan ‘group dispute inner officials system, that give many stronger growth to the forces ofTaiping Rebellion .Of course that
Her Chyun was able toBrigadier General ‘s works but he led whole Jiangnan DaYing and belittle theTaiping Rebellion ,He Guiqing ‘s coward,Zeng Guofan ‘ too selfish etc. were third loss reason.ee also
