After the Battle of Tianjing, the Taiping Army was besieged in Tianjing, and it was miserable. At this point, Li Xiucheng suggested to Hong Xiuquan to break out of Tianjing and seek an open hand. However, Hong Xiuquan not only rejected him, but also scolded him. Because Hong Xiuquan lost his early bravery at this time, he was used to being a local tyrant and was addicted to his own theory of "God".

The Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Movement was a vigorous uprising in the history of China. The uprising led by Hong Xiuquan gradually swept through almost the whole of China from a small-scale peasant movement, which fundamentally shook the rule of the Qing government. However, the good times did not last long, and the narrowness of Hong Xiuquan's thought gradually appeared, and the Tian Ping movement gradually fell into a disadvantage.

1862, Hong Xiuquan's influence is not so strong at this moment. Zeng Guofan took advantage of the situation and captured Tianjing in one fell swoop, which frightened Hong Xiuquan, a local tyrant in Tianjing, and made people from all walks of life rush back to Tianjing, especially Li Xiucheng. But after Li Xiucheng came back, it didn't change this situation. Tianjing City has gradually become a situation of "no food outside and no reinforcements inside".

Under such circumstances, Li Xiucheng suggested that Hong Xiuquan start a new stove, so that the city would not go, that is, break Tianjing. Hearing this, Hong Xiuquan became angry. I became a good local tyrant and finally stopped running around. Now you let me escape. Before long, Tianjing almost ran out of food, and Li Xiucheng made a suggestion to Hong Xiuquan. At this time, Hong Xiuquan still did not change his original intention, saying: "Eating manna in the whole city can keep healthy." This "manna" is also a weed.

It can be seen from here that after Hong Xiuquan became a local tyrant, he gradually became "possessed". He has always thought that he is the son of God, and has gradually lost his sincerity.
