  • S01E41: Taiping Rebellion: The Siege of Nanjing

    In this episode, we deal with the Siege of Nanjing. As the extremely brutal culmination of years of already brutal fighting, the Qing loyalist forces of Zeng Guofan finally storm the Taiping capital and put a permanent end to the top leadership of the rebellion.

    Again, drawing on Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom by Stephen R. Platt.

    The central questions pivotal to future revolutions we'll deal with:

    1. What is the Chinese nation, who are the Chinese people?
    2. What does a modern Chinese state, competitive in the modern world, look like?

    Next episode we'll deal with the epilogue from Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom.
