1862 CE

Hong's generals are telling him by 1862 that the situation at Nanking is desperate and that he ought to abandon the city.

He refuses, stating that he trusts in divine guidance.

He even declines to lay in supplies in a case of a siege because he is sure that God will provide.

Meanwhile, Zeng Guofan manages to surround the city.
