'''Da Cheng''' () was a rebel state existed in [[Guangxi]], southern China from 1855 to 1864.
In April 1854, inspired by the [[Taiping Rebellion]] in central China, members of the [[Tiandihui|Heaven and Earth Society]] in [[Guangdong|Guangdong province]] launched the [[Red Turban Rebellion (1854–1856)|Hongbing Uprising]] (红兵起义) in [[Foshan]]. The rebellion was led by Chen Kai (陳開) and Li Wenmao (李文茂), who are both of [[Zhuang people|Zhuang]] ethnicity. They captured several counties and besieged [[Guangzhou]] but the Qing army managed to recover most of the territory. The rebels retreated west to Guangxi and captured Xunzhou (modern-day [[Guiping]]) in 1855, renamed it to '''Xiujing''' (秀京), making it the capital of Dacheng Kingdom.<ref>Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
The Dacheng Kingdom army was joined by the forces of other Zhuang rebels such as Huang Dingfeng (黃鼎鳳), Li Wencai (李文彩) and Li Jingui (李錦貴), all rebelled against the Qing since the 1850s.
In November 1856, [[Li Wenmao]] besieged and captured [[Liuzhou]]. In April 1857, [[Chen Kai]] captured [[Wuzhou]]. They advanced to Yongzhou (now [[Nanning]]) and captured the city. In September 1857, the Dacheng Kingdom managed to expand half of Guangxi, an area similar to northern [[Vietnam]]. They issued their own currency called Pingjing Shengbao (平靖勝寶).
In 1857, Li Wenmao attacked [[Guilin]]. However, the Qing army, commanded by Jiang Yili (蒋益澧) managed to recaptured Wuzhou. During a battle in Huaiyuan, Li Wenmao was killed. Liuzhou is then fallen to the Qing. In 1859, Chen Kai spearheaded a large land and naval force attempted to attack Wuzhou. The attack failed and Chen Kai had to retreat with heavy loss.
In February 1861, the Qing army attacked Xiujing. The city fell after a six-month long siege. Chen Kai himself was killed in battle. The rebellion then entered insurgency phase, actively resisted the Qing army until the last rebel holdouts surrendered in May 1864.
