Both of you are right. It's the Taiping Rebellion, listed in the Correlates of War project I am using for my research project as an intra-state war. The database lists «Total battle deaths of state participants» and «Total battle deaths of all participants». Amazingly, the second category is unknown, and the first is officially 2,000,025!

I'm certain it was the taiping rebellion. I learned that in an undergraduate black history (!) class. As the course calendar mentioned, it was the «age of imperialism» told from an anti-imperialist point of view.

That wasn't a civil war. That was a failed revolution. There was nothing civil about that war. Both sides massacred non-combatant, sacking whole cities.

Oh, not to hurt the feeling of Chinese here. This was was the American civil war, of course. Chinese won't do anything like this at all.
