If i had a penny for every time a schizophrenic Chinese prophet lead a massive holy war against a declining Chinese empire which ultimately failed yet still directly contributed to said empire's eventual balkanization, I'd have two pennies.

Which doesn't sound like a lot, but it's still weird that it's happened twice.

4 pennies actually. . .
If you are refering to the 2 two Christian leaders Zhang of Daxi and Hong of Heavenly Kingdom.
You also got the Taoist uprising of the Yellow Turban, and hyprid religion of the White Lotus that started the Red Turban rebellion.
>>
What >>3344111 said, it actually happened 4 times.

You'd think "4 times isn't that many in a country over 2000 years old", except it kinda is considering the circumstances needed to cause something like this.

I only counted the Taiping and the Yellow Turbans once, but I didn't know about the others. Thanks.

Hong Xiuquan was the brother of christ and a prophet sent by God

Nigger are you on crack? "Schizophrenic Chinese prophets leading massive holy wars against declining Chinese empires which ultimately failed and yet still directly contributed to said empires eventual balkanization" are a classic trope throughout Chinese history:

>Yellow Turbans
>Fotudeng playing the Later Zhao like a fiddle
>Red Turbans of the 14th century
>White lotus rebellion of 1796
>Taiping
>Boxers
>Falun Gong

And those are just the ones off the top of my head.

The Boxers weren't against the chinese empire though, they were against chinese christians and westerners
