太平天国幼天王、干王等未刊供词中的新史料及辨证

The Unpublished New Historical Materials in the Confessions of the Young Heavenly King, King Gan and Others of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom

台北故宫博物院文献部藏有幼天王、干王、洪仁政、黄文英等人供词、自述共 2 8件 ,内多未刊发的重要史料 ,涉及天国晚期政治、军事、人事、生活等方面。如南京失陷后 ,幼天王、干王等南下欲投奔侍王李世贤、康王汪海洋 ,而李、汪对“迎驾”“护驾”并不积极。这些新史料对于研究太平天国历史 ,特别是天国晚期历史 ,有重要的价值。

Confessions by the Young Heavenly King, King Gan, Hong Rengan, Huang Wenying and others were kept in the Archive of the Palace Museum, Taipei. The number of confessions total 28, among which are many facts concerning the political, military, personnel, living conditions of the late period of the Heavenly Kingdom, which have not previously been published. After the fall of Nanjing, the Young Heavenly King, King Gan and the others went south to seek refuge under King Shi, Li Shixian and King Kang, Wang Haiyang. But they were not active in “meeting” and “protecting” the Young Heavenly King. These new historical data are of importance in the study of the history of the Heavenly Kingdom, especially its late period.
