Jeung Guk-beon, who gave up the throne by himself at the end of the Qing Dynasty

 The rebellion of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom at the end of the Qing Dynasty reveals the end-of-life situation...As the Qing Dynasty's regular army, which was sent to suppress the Taiping Heavenly Rebellion, lost repeatedly, there was no way for the Qing Dynasty to be able to defeat the Taiping Heavenly Rebellion by forming a civilian mercenary, Sanggun.When the Taiping Heavenly War was suppressed, there were 500,000 military personnel that Jeung Guobun had... When the rebellion was suppressed, the most feared person in the Qing court was the Ching Kuk-Bun, who admitted that there was no countermeasure and feared the Ching Kuk-Bun's staff and the Gangnam area.And try to get rid of Qing Dao's suspicions about Jing Guoban by showing satisfaction with the provincial governor instead of going to Beijing.And he sends his successor, Lee Hong-jang, to Beijing to join the central government, and he just leaves the provinces...Li Hongzhang goes to the center and becomes the promoter of the Yangmu Movement, the modernization movement of China. There are many views on the Chinese side that regret that Tseng did not establish a new regime.It's because of the regret that China might not have turned into a strong colonial struggle in the early 20th century if Jeung Guk-beon overthrew Qing Dynasty and established a new regime with Lee Hong-jang... but if Jeung Guk-beon crushed the Taiping Heavenly Rebellion and created a new regime, what direction would Chinese history have developed? I'm curious...
