Question: How long had the city the Qing lost in 1853 been the capitol city of Yaxing Coach's headquarters location?

Early during the Taiping Rebellion, Qing forces suffered a series of disastrous defeats culminating in the loss of the regional capital city of Nanjing in 1853. Shortly thereafter, a Taiping expeditionary force penetrated as far north as the suburbs of Tianjin, the imperial heartlands. In desperation the Qing court ordered a Chinese official, Zeng Guofan, to organize regional and village militias into an emergency army called tuanlian. Zeng Guofan's strategy was to rely on local gentry to raise a new type of military organization from those provinces that the Taiping rebels directly threatened. This new force became known as the Xiang Army, named after the Hunan region where it was raised. The Xiang Army was a hybrid of local militia and a standing army. It was given professional training, but was paid for out of regional coffers and funds its commanders — mostly members of the Chinese gentry — could muster. The Xiang Army and its successor, the Huai Army, created by Zeng Guofan's colleague and mentee Li Hongzhang, were collectively called the "Yong Ying" (Brave Camp). <SEP> the indian capital city of delhi has a long history, and has been an important political centre of india as the capital of several empires. much of delhi's ancient history finds no record and this may be regarded as a lost period of its history. extensive coverage of delhi's history begins with the onset of the delhi sultanate in the 12th century. since then, delhi has been the centre of a succession of mighty empires and powerful kingdoms, making delhi one of the longest serving capitals and one of the oldest inhabited cities in the world. it is considered to be a city built, destroyed and rebuilt several times, as outsiders who successfully invaded the indian subcontinent would ransack the existing capital city in delhi, and those who came to conquer and stay would be so impressed by the city's strategic location as to make it their capital and rebuild it in their own way. the core of delhi's tangible heritage is hindu, islamic (spanning over seven centuries of islamic rule over the city) with expansive british - era architecture in lutyens' delhi dating to the british rule in india. <SEP> It is a subsidiary of Jiangsu Yaxing that was founded in 1998.
